MacBook – I accidentally deleted an iMovie project, but I recovered it. Now it is too blurry to see!

I accidentally deleted an iMovie event with an important school project within it, but I recovered it by going to Finder, then clicking Movies. I re-uploaded them to iMovie but now they are so blurry, I cannot see the video! Please help me revert it back to its original state of clarity in time for presentation date, being Monday!

Best Answer

sounds like you only recovered the low-quality proxies.

The structure should be

  • Project Name folder, containing
    • CurrentVersion.imovieevent file &
    • Profect Name.rcproject folder, containing
      1. Movies folder
      2. Project file
      3. Proxies folder
      4. QuickLook

That applies whether you have the old iMovie structure or the new one.
If you have the new structure that doesn't look like a folder, then right click the iMovie Library 'file' & select 'Show Package Contents' - then you will see the actual folder structure
