  • How do I get the videos in iPhoto into a thumbnail in iMovie

    How can I get the videos that are in an iPhoto album to a thumbnail in iMovie when thumbnail does not appear? I have a early 2009 24" iMac and using iphoto 11.

    Are you saying the the movie in iPhoto doesn't show a thumbnail or that it doesn't have a thumbnail in iMovie?  If the latter then ask in the iMovie forum.
    If the former then we need more information:
    what exact version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see in the iPhoto window when viewing an  Event containing the movie in question?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • How do you get your photos from iPhoto into Photoshop?  Am I just duumb

    How do I move my photos from iPhoto to Photoshop?  I am feeling really dumb right now.

    Hi Gramo5,
    Please follow the below steps.
    In the Finder, navigate to your iPhoto package file. By default, it's located in /Users/[user name]/Pictures, and it's called iPhoto Library.   
    Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.   
    A Finder window opens that shows the contents of the package file. The Masters folder contains all of the photos that are in iPhoto.
    Control-click the folder named Masters and choose Duplicate.   
    Drag the folder named "Masters copy" from the iPhoto Library Finder window to your Desktop and then you can import the pictures to Photoshop from the desktop.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

    Please clarify.  Exactly what happens when you click on the videos?  Any error messages?  What do they state?  The iPhoto users hang out in the iPhoto forums.  You may wish to cross-post there.

  • How do I move about 70 little videos from iPhoto into iMovie so I can edit them and add music.  I don't have iDVD.

    I need help with a problem!  Last year I bought a new camcorder and my first iMac (OSX).  My first movie was in New York City, so it's very special to me.
    When I got home, I made a short New York City movie in iMovies but somehow I have deleted it all in iMovies.  When I look in iPhotos, all the individual clips are there as short little movies (there are about 80 of them, all lasting a few seconds).  Is there any way I can move those individual clips back into iMovie and have it back to where I started so that I can replace what I lost and I also to do some additional editing.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Can't get movies/pics from iPhoto into iMovie

    Hello, I have read a lot of other threads but haven't yet found this answer. I am new to Mac as of 1/09 and just started using iMovie one year later (this month). I go back and forth between a Sony Cyber-shot DCS-W230 and a Sanyo VPC-TH1. Both do stills as well as video. I have a lot both on iPhoto as well as Picasa from the past year. Only one movie actually went into my iMovie library and a few pics. Can anyone tell me why this is? I haven't (knowingly) changed any settings. I can view them in (iPhoto and Picasa) including watching the movies. Why won't they import into iMovie? I tried using Streamline but it's very confusing and the one 25 minute movie I got to convert took hours and didn't even line up with the audio so that was a waste. If they weren't compatible with iMac wouldn't it just not work at all instead of some? I've spent hours experimenting and reading instructions, forums, I've called Apple support, etc. and I'm so frustrated because I still don't have an answer. If someone could help me resolve this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Importing my own little movies from my SD550, I used to see them in .MOV format. Now I see them as .AVI files and QuickTime cannot open them anymore. As a matter of fact, *nothing* can open these files anymore, and I have tried Flip4Mac, DivXPlayer,MoviePod, iMovieHD and Windows Media for Mac. Guess what: the only way I can open them is with iMovie 7.0.1.
    So I suspect something in the Mac core is transforming my imports into files that are difficult to read. QuickTime perhaps?

  • How do i get faces.db from iPhoto into Aperture?

    I converted my iPhoto library to Aperture about a year ago and when i go into Faces, none are there.  I can start to add them to photos and the type-ahead works as though they're loaded, but the thousands of photos I did are not tagged.
    I can find the faces.db and journal files in the iPhoto folder - is there some way to import that into Aperture so the tagged photos will be sorted by Faces??
    Thank you,
    Joe Alcodray

    iPhoto 9.6 and Aperture 3.6 share a library. So if you have iPhoto 9.6 and your faces database up to date, Aperture should be able to use it by simply opening the library.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • IMovie '09 - How do I get photos in from iPhoto?  (It's not working!)

    Hi,
    I have seen posts about difficulties accessing photos in iMovie '09 but can't seem to get it to work for me. I added more photos to iphoto and they won't show up in imovie. I put them in new folders then, but the folders show up with nothing inside. Then I try and drag and drop from iphoto and finder - into all sections of imovie and it still won't work. How do I do this?? I tried editing each photo in iphoto to see if that work work, but no luck still. I really want to add the last few photos to my project!
    Thanks for any thoughts or insight!!

    Hi,
    The problem can be that there is an '&' in the path to your iPhoto-library. I renamed some of my albums in iPhoto. For me this worked, but I'm still using iLife '06.
    If this doesn’t help you can also just drag the photo’s from iPhoto into iMovie of iDVD.
