No com.apple.imovie container

I don't seem to have the com.apple.imovie file on my computer. I have looked in the containers, but it is not there. Am I missing something?

Missing iMovie library after Monterey upgrade After upgrading to Monterey, I cannot locate my iMovie library. Upon opening iMovie, it created a new library, dated today, and all past projects are MIA. I've tried following this path: Go/Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp/Data/Library/Caches/iMovieBackups but I get stuck at Containers, as there is not a folder labeled com.apple.iMovieApp within. Is there somewhere else to look to find the iMovie Backups?

iMovie, where are my files? OSX 10.11.6, iMovie 10.1.6, I opened iMovie after not having used it for a while, and the app behaved as if it was the first time I opened it. None of my previous files are visible. I'm sure they're on the computer. . . somewhere. Worst case, I can find them via Time Machine... Where do I find my previous iMovie files and how do I link them to the application? Thanks!

If you are using Ventura, I think that the file is just called iMovie in the Go/Home/Library/Containers folder.

You could also look in the Go/Home/Library/Preferences folder.

I went to my Mac that is running Ventura, and there is no com.apple.iMovie file in my container folder either. As I mentioned in my previous post, the file is now called simply "iMovie".
