IMovie out of order?

why does it do this? I have obver like 800 pictures that need to be in alphabetical order, I import them in alphabetical order and iMovie puts them in a random order. How do I fix this...it's very impratical to re-order 800 pictures

The easiest way is to import the photos into iPhoto, create an Album for them, use the View options in the album and get it ordered the way you want. In iMovie, use the Media/ Photos pane to pull up your iPhoto Library. Your albums will be listed there, and you can select the entire album for your movie. It should preserve the album order when importing into iMovie that way.
Regards.

  • Imovie events out of order

    Since ive upgraded to imovie  in Maverick all of my events are not in order according to dates the clips were taken.  They all out of order. is there an easy way to have the events in order according to date the video clips were taken?

    Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in 10.0. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5468703?tstart=0

  • Chapter marker thumbnails getting duplicated, out of order (FCPX 10.1.4)

    Group - I use FCPX to compile home movies of my kids, the pets, etc. I use footage from a Canon HD camcorder and an iPhone 6+. I import them into FCPX, trim, transition, maybe throw in some music, and usually put in 40 or so stills (JPEGS) at the end for a slide show.
    The project I'm working on now is around 2.5h long after editing and transitions. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each scene, and then drag the pin to set a custom chapter marker thumbnail.
    The issue - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get ALL of the thumbnails sorted properly. Meaning, I get one or two out of order, and numerous ones duplicate. I've rebooted, trashed prefs (opt-com start), copied all the clips into a new project and re-rendered, and even deleted them all and manually applied them all again. There are roughly 36 or 37 chapters in this project. I tend to get a different result each time, but with the same general problem.
    Sadly, iMovie worked pretty flawlessly for me, but I thought I'd enjoy the added capabilities of FCPX. The rendering time for this movie on a one year old iMac with 24GB RAM is around 7 hours at 720p, so as you can imagine, it's not been a fun project. I've attached a screenshot of the issue on my AppleTV for reference. I've seen a lot of history with this problem, though many threads proclaimed it 'solved'. I'd disagree. Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong, or is this just more stellar quality control from Apple?
    PS - Are there any recommended alternatives to FCPX? I'm noticing I use fewer and fewer Apple-branded apps, I'm starting to see a pattern here.... :^(

    Discs are not my top-priority here, but I remember this rules (for iDVD):
    The Rules of Chapter Markers:
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    *Make sure you do not have the "Share selected Clips" option checked when preparing to share to iDVD
    maybe, these rules were not by limitations of software, but by 'standard'?
    If you test it, try to what happens when you 'violate' these rules ...........

  • Data written to socket getting lost?  or perhaps out of order?

    I'm trying to fix a bug in Flashmog. The bug is described in more detail here.
    Basically what is happening is that my Flash client claims that it is calling functions that don't arrive at the server -- or they arrive, but the socket data is out of order and therefore is garbled.  I've stared at the source code for hours and tried a lot of trial-and-error type stuff and added trace statements to see if I can find the problem and I'm not having any luck.
    In particular, there's class I have called RPCSocket that extends the AS3 Socket class so I can serialize data structures before sending them across a socket.  At one point, this RPCSocket class calls super.writeBytes and super.Flush.  It is the point at which I send all data out of my client. The data is binary data in AMF3 format.
              public function executeRPC(serviceName:String, methodName:String, methodParams:Array):void {
                   if (!this.connected) {
                        log.write('RPCSocket.executeRPC failed. ' + methodName + ' attempted on service ' + serviceName + ' while not connected', Log.HIGH);
                        throw new Error('RPCSocket.executeRPC failed. ' + methodName + ' attempted on service ' + serviceName + ' while not connected.');
                        return;
                   var rpc:Array = new Array();
                   rpc[0] = serviceName;
                   rpc[1] = methodName;
                   rpc[2] = methodParams;
                   var serializedRPC:ByteArray = serialize(rpc);
                   if (!serializedRPC) {
                        log.write('RPCSocket.executeRPC failed.  Serialization failed for method ' + methodName + ' on service ' + serviceName, Log.HIGH);
                        dispatchEvent(new IOErrorEvent(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, false, false, 'RPCSocket.executeRPC failed.  Serialization failed for method ' + methodName + ' on service ' + serviceName));
                   super.writeUnsignedInt(serializedRPC.length);
                   super.writeBytes(serializedRPC);
                   super.flush();
              } // executeRPC
    Can someone recommend a way for me to store without corruption, conversion, or filtering or translation of any kind *all* of the information sent across this socket? I'd like to write it to a file.  I'm guessing that keep a global ByteArray var and storing the info there might work, but I'm wondering how I might get the contents of that ByteArray into a file so I can inspect it.
    Also, I'm wondering if I might be able to inspect what flash actually sends out on the socket?  I have a sneaking suspicion that data I supply to super.writeBytes may be sent out of order or may not actually get sent across the socket.  This bug I'm talking about only seems to happen under high-stress situations when I'm sending dozens of messages per second across this one socket.

    oops...forgot link to bug description: http://flashmog.net/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=549

  • Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

    I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
    They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
    The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
    I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

    This is highly annoying.
    I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
    On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
    I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
    In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
    Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
    I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
    I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
    Ugh....

  • The music I sync into my iPod touch is all literally out of order and in the library it's not. Why is this?

    I checked the starting time for songs in the library and on my iPod and they all say 0:00. What I mean when I say it's out of order is for example, the first ten seconds are skipped and placed somewhere in the middle of the song and some other parts are skipped then played later. I didn't have this problem before I updated iTunes for my new iPod, now when I tried syncing onto my old iPod as well, the same thing happens. So there's nothing wrong with my iPod. I want to know how I can fix this on iTunes or if it's just a glitch on my iTunes?

    Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

  • Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

    audio and video do not syncronize.  all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows.  what do i need to do the syncronize them again
    they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
    another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded,   they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
    any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
    thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
    Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...

  • Keys out of order -- follow up to earlier post

    I ran the install disc Disc Utility Test and the Hardware Test disc on the computer since I posted my first question earlier tonight "Computer won't finish start-up -- any suggestions". The Hardware Test came back fine. The Disc Utility test on the install disc says: Keys out of order. It does not, however, explain how to repair this problem on the hard drive.
    Is there any way to fix this problem on the hard drive?

  • Camera roll pictures are out of order after upgrading to iOS 8.1

    It's nice that iOS 8.1 brings camera roll back. However, pictures are out of chronological order. I'm using iPhone 5s. I upgraded iOS from 8.0.2 to 8.1, and noticed this issue.

    That's weird cause my videos are all interspersed with everything else like they used to be, which unfortunately means it's inconsistently screwing up too.  My pics start with 2007 (first year i got an iphone) then run up to about 2014 vaguely in order, then back to 2013 where everything's all out of order, then down to 2012 again (also out of order), then 2011, 2010, 2009 etc like it's running backwards to 2007.  Then once it hits 2007 again, it jumps to this past july.
    SO aggravating!

  • Is there a way to reorganize out-of-order tracks in iTunes 11?

    Hello all--
    In iTunes 10, if an album appeared with the track numbers out of order, I could just click on the track number tab within each individual album and the tracks would be resorted by track number. In iTunes 11, I can't find a way to do the same thing. For example, I imported an album and now it starts out with track 4, then goes to 15, etc., but can't get them to sort sequentially. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I tried looking at one out-of-order album in the "songs" view, based on a similar question, but every time I try to search for the album under "songs" iTunes shows the result under "albums".

    here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
    and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
    best of luck.

  • Photos synch out of order

    Photos from some of my albums synch out of order when I upload them. How can I prevent this or else how can I fix the order on the iPod? The photos are numbered and should have stayed in order. (Most albums loaded in order - a few didn't.)

    I had the same problem when I converted a Power Point to .jpg files. Each slide was given a number 1, 2, 3, . . . 10, 11, 12, . . .
    The problem is that the iPod reads the numbers and shows the photos "alphabetically" so the order ends up being 1, 10, 11, 12, . . . 2, 20, . . .
    You need to renumber or rename each photo either so they're 01, 02, 03, . . . or a, b, c, . . .

  • IPod playlists out of order

    In iTunes, all the songs on a CD are still in the correct order and list the track numbers.
    But on my iPod, some albums are out of order. I checked and the iPod is not on shuffle in any way. I just browse to the artist and album, but the songs aren't even listed in the correct order.
    I restored the iPod but that did not fix the problem.
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Dell Inspiron 600m   Windows XP Pro  

    well I figured out what the problem was. some tracks of the album had "Album Artist" or "Composer" listed, and the iPod was sorting those first. Pretty lame, but I'm glad I figured it out.
