Exporting Video with Iphoto

I exported some videos in Iphoto and didn't select "Original" when exporting. After exporting I'm only left with thumbnails of the videos in .mov format but the video in only 1 second long. I deleted the originals in Iphoto. Is there anyway to restore or recover these videos? I noticed the videos are various sizes so I'm hoping the orginal data is still in there... Thanks!

Guess what - you answered my question with "no Information"
"As to what you exported unless you exported the original then youhave no video"
All I needed, thanks for the help

Export Video with Multiple Audio Tracks

I need to be able to export video with audio on multiple tracks. I have moved to CS6 from FCP 7 where this was rather easy to do. I can make a preset in AME with more than enough mono tracks but after the encode the video is always smashed to one mono track. I am not doing a 5.1 mix, there are different mic's on each track that need to remain independant of one another and mixing them down within Premiere is not feasable. Are there no options to just have the audio 'pass through' like Compressor? Sorry if there are other posts but I have been searching forever and can not find a simple answer on this topic.
Also, is there no way to have the source timecode burn in? Putting a filter on the video in a sequence is unacceptable, I am very displeased to find that this doesn's seem possible in AME or Premiere, it has been part of Apple's suite for years.
Example of my preset from Compressor:
Name: Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy)
Description: QuickTime movie with Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) and audio pass-through
File Extension: mov
Estimated size: unknown
Audio: multi-track pass-through

Hi James,
For exporting a multitrack .wav file, you have to start a project with a multichannel audiomaster (3-16 tracks).
Copy and paste your complete edit to the new editsetting.
Now in the audiomixer you can route your audiolayers to the multichannel you like.
(CH1+2 pan to left is channel 1, pan to right is channel 2 and for a stereo track pan to center : channel 1 for left and channel 2 for right.)
Then you export your project to a 3-16 tracks multitrack .wav file.
When you need mono tracks you can import your multitrack .wav file in premiere. Then send it to Audition (edit in Audition) and then adobe will convert the file into mono tracks.
You'll find the mono tracks in your audio capture folder or can premiere search for then by 'reveal in explorer'.
The multi track .wav file has got timecode within the file.
When exporting in QT you can also choose for a multitrack audio file. It also contains your timeline timecode.
.avi or .mp4 video files cannot be exported with more than 5.1 channels of audio
MXF OP1a in XDCAMHD can also be exported with max. 16 channels of audio. It also contains your timeline timecode.
Hopefully you can get further with Premiere Pro with this info.
Succes with it!!

IPhoto: Export videos with titles

All of my videos are in iPhoto, and I've added titles to all of the videos within iPhoto.
However, when I EXPORT these videos to my desktop, iPhoto doesn't export them with the titles that I've assigned to them in iPhoto.
iPhoto exports them with their generic title (such as "img_0015.mov") that they originally had when I first shot the videos.
How can I get iPhoto to export all of these videos with their titles intact?

Are you checking this checkbox in the slideshow settings pane?
which will give you this in the slide:

Cannot export video from iphoto to other location

Hello ,
i could not move video from iphoto to external hard disk or desktop. I'm using Mac Pro with RD. The steps I did as below:
1. Select the video
2. File, export , select origin, ok
3. error message appear stated that video could not be prepared .
Any way to do it ?

The problem is that iPhoto is looking in the wrong place for the file:
/ Volumes/Sagate/Iphoto_Library_2014.photolibrary/Previews/2014....... "
It should be looking in the Originals folder.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Exporting videos from iPhoto

For the life of me, I can't figure out a way to export videos which I imported into iPhoto from my camera. I can export it to my desktop but can't export them in a format that I can then import into Vimeo or other video sharing site.
What the heck does a guy gotta do to share his simple .avi videos with others on the Internet?
I tried exporting it from Quicktime too, but sadly, exporting my own video from Quicktime requires that I have a Pro account. Sad but true.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
To export a video from iPhoto:
Select the video in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. Set the *Kind: to Original*. This will export your video.
can't export them in a format that I can then import into Vimeo or other video sharing site.
Why? What formats do they require? Do the videos require shifting to a new format?
What the heck does a guy gotta do to share his simple .avi videos with others on the Internet?
Who can tell, when you don’t explain where the procedure breaks down for you.
I tried exporting it from Quicktime too, but sadly, exporting my own video from Quicktime requires that I have a Pro account. Sad but true.
Why is that sad? When you export from Quicktime you are shifting formats or otherwise editing the video.

Exporting video from iPhoto to Desktop

I take a video with my iPhone4.
I download it to iPhoto (9.3.2) on my MBP Retina (Mtn Lion).
I export it from iPhoto to my desktop.
When I play it on my desktop (QT 10.2), I get no picture and no sound.
What's happening?

If you export as a Jpeg then you're telling it to export a movie as a still image. Jpeg is a format for photos, not video
iPhoto performs no compression on video at all. It has no relevance to the issue at hand.

Exporting video from iPhoto including music added and theme

Hi,
is there a way to export a video from iPhoto including music and theme?
I'm able to export the video itself, with its native sound, but the theme and music added in iPhoto is not included. When trying to share on Flickr - running in to the same problem.
Don't think it makes a difference, but the video was taking by GoPro Black and the audio added was purchased in iToons store.
Really appreciate your help
Thanks!
Lanawwylma77

iPhoto has no ability to add anything to video. Do you mean a slideshow? If so, how are you exporting?
the audio added was purchased in iToons store.
You may run into copyright issues if you upload that to a site like flickr or youtube.

How to export videos de iphoto a imovie

Hi,
I have captured trought iphoto some videos from my iphone. When I tried to export that videos from iphoto to imovie, imovie crash (i have the last version)
Could somebody help me with this problem?
Thanks and regards

iMovie 8 accepts video in MPEG4, DV and MOV formats. If your video clips are from a still camera that records in another format, you will have to first convert the videos before iMovie 8 will recognize them. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do this. You may be able to batch convert clips; I have not done this and have converted them one at a time.
Just drag the clip from iPhoto onto the MPEG Streamclip window and select to convert it to one of the above formats; save the new clip, then put it into iMovie.

Export videos from iPhoto 11 - choose format?

I'm trying to export phoos and videos form iPhoto 11 to an SD card for a digital photo frame. The photos are no problem. I seem to have a problem with the frame reading videos, and am assuming it's a formatting issue.
The specifications for the frame say it can accept videos as "Motion jpeg, Mpeg-4".
When I export from iPhoto, the files are either .AVI or .MOV (I guess depending on what they were filmed on in the first place.)
Can I "export as MP4" or such like? I can't find such an option.

I had the same problem with a test library of mine. The only fix I found was this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
The downside is:
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Final Cut Pro X export troubles: exports video with only half the audio.

Ever since I updated Final Cut Pro X, I've been having problems exporting. I either get error messages or the audio doesn't fully export. When I tried exporting a master file to my desktop, I got a message saying “error occurred when creating frame” then lists the frame number. Someone suggested copying the project file and pasting it into a new project. I did that, and it exported without the error popping up; but halfway through the video, the audio disappears, and does so in the same spot it disappeared in a previous youtube export before I tried the copy/paste method. I don't have the original footage; I'm making color correction changes to an edit; so I'm not sure if the second half of the video is somehow corrupted, don't know how to check that, and not sure what to do if it is.
Another suggestion given to me was to delete the event my footage is in, then create a new event, re-upload all the footage into that one, and relink my project files to it. He also said don't delete my event and project folder at the same time, which I'm not even sure how you simultaneously delete two things on a laptop. I don't understand how this method would work though, since deleting the event makes my project disappear since it has nothing to link to. I'm scared to try this method since I don't want to lose my work; I really don't want to color correct it all over again.
Is there any way to successfully export the file suitable for youtube posting, or is this a bug in the system they haven't fixed yet?

Just turned off background rendering.
I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,083
Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,274
Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?

Flicker showing up in exported videos with various codecs

I am exporting videos using various codecs and all of them are showing a flicker occasionally that is obviously not in the original footage or in the editing footage. The flicker is a brief one-frame looking jump to black. The flicker only seems to occur viewing it on the web. Viewing the same file on my system using "Preview" (Mac OS X) produces the same flicker. However, watching it using the full QuickTime viewer does not show the flicker.
The footage was shot using a DSLR and is from a Pentax K7 and is 1280 x 720, 25 fps.
Edited footage in Premiere CS6 looks fine. I am using export settings for 720p from H.264 for YouTube, Vimeo and straight HD 720p at all three available frame rates (23.976, 25.0 29.97). I have also exported using QuickTime codecs at HD 720p, H.264
Here is a link to two examples of the videos with the flicker probelms. One flick occurs in the first one in several places, the first one right at the beginning as the fade-in is still occurring, but occurs in both videos throughout occasionally.

Any idea as to what is causing this and hot to fix it?
Thanks.

Bad form putting QuickTime's on the web. This requires unwanted plug-ins to be required for viewing.
Use MP4 instead.

Exporting photos with Iphoto '08

How can I export metadata of photos such as the comments using Iphoto '08? There only seems to be the option for exporting a photo's title?

tr3der:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are you wanting to export the comments to? If you export a photo that has a comment assigned to it that comment will be written to the file that gets exported. Applications that can read the metadata will be able to see the comments as well as the titles and keywords if that check box is selected.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Exporting video with normal settings but video plays buffered

Hi,
I have a preset in APP that i always use for TVC, today i went to use the same preset (with good quality footage) and when i go to play the exported video it plays very buffered and you can barely watch it.
I exported a video yesterday using the same preset and now that does the same thing (yesterday i worked fine) on other computers too it also buffers.
Any ideas?

fiatchrysler wrote:
the frame rate was very high i changed it down to 25 (thats the only thing i changed' and exported it again as H.264 format and 'match source'. still shows as skipping when playing exported video.
The video footage i am using to create this video is in quick time - would that have anything to do with it?
Did you try manually lowering the bitrate as I suggested?
If the original MOV footage plays fine, I don't see a reason for it being an issue after being exported.

Exporting video from iPhoto

I just upgraded to most recent Yosemite and movies/videos in iPhoto disappeared. They are there in that you can play them in iPhoto, but you can't drag them out, when you search on the file name you get only a small image/icon file. Trying to open the file from quicktime it cannot find the file. You can only access it in iMovie which is a pain in the ***.
Also,I don't know when this happened, but iPhoto Library can no longer be accessed from Finder.

I had already tried to export as original, it doesn't work. All you get is a picture of the first frame, i.e. the jpeg preview, which opens in quicktime since the extension is MP4 as the video.
The link you gave is about how to export photos not videos.
But I did finally figure it out. In the file menu select reveal in Finder. This shows all the files in the selected event which now you can drag.
