Hello all -- here's a bit of a complicated problem (the story is kind of lengthy), but try to bear with me, and muchas gracias for any input...
I share my computer (iMac G5 running OS 10.3.5) with a couple of other family members and we each have our own user accounts. I have been working on a little iMovie project called "Sam." Let's say that my account is called "peanutbutter." In that case, the project was saved in Users -> peanutbutter -> Movies. When I was out of the house, this other person (let's call him "familymember") logged in as me ("peanutbutter") and went to peanutbutter -> Movies -> Sam. Then, while still logged in as me, dragged the .imovie file found in "Sam" INTO Users -> familymember -> Public -> Drop Box. Note that he moved just the .imovie file, not the entire project folder called "Sam" (maybe that makes a difference, I don't know).
So when he went to open the .imovie file, now in the familymember Public folder, it was one black frame and I think some garbled stuff. I don't know for sure, because, before I got back, he deleted this file.
Obviously the point here is to get the .imovie file back. I've done some poking around for it and I don't see it anywhere. There is a QuickTime .mov of the movie saved, but nothing that iMovie can actually edit.
If anyone out there has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it if you shared it. Thank you!
