Sorting iPhoto Videos into separate items in Event Library

All my videos from iPhoto have imported to iPhoto Videos in iMovie 11 but I want to list them separately in the Event Library List - does anyone know how to do this please? 
ALSO
I have split them within the browser but unfortunately have put a few in the wrong event - have tried to split but the area is now greyed out - any help would be
appreciated.
Many thanks

But none of the 11 videos is housed in an Event. They are just 11 short videos in a row. I tried to make an empty folder to name as RISE UP, but the application would not let me do that.
If the files have not yet been imported to iMovie '08 then select the "Import Movie..." File menu option. When the import window opens, in the lower area:
a) Select your destination hard drive in the "Save to:" block
b) Select the "Create new Event:" radio button
c) Name the new event
d) Select whether you want the files copied or moved to the new event
Now navigate to and select the files you want to import in the upper half of the window. (You can select individual files; multiple, non-contiguous files; or a contiguous range of files.) Press import when done making your selection(s).

  • How to remove the iPhoto video clips from the iMovie Event Library

    Hi,
    The new iMovie took a couple of hours to index my iPhoto video clips. That didn't bother me so much as I have 2564 video clips in my iPhoto library.
    However, when I launch iMovie, it now takes approximately 30 minutes to be ready for use.
    Is there anyway to de-register the iPhoto video clips in iMovie?
    I'll switch to only importing the clips I want to work with as iMovie does not appear to be written to handle a large quantity of video clips efficiently (for the G5 cpu anyway).
    Perhaps if when selecting "iPhoto Videos" in the Event Library, it would first show the video clips divided into Events as with the new iPhoto approach. Would surely be quicker to scroll through. Scrolling through the video clips is far to slow.
    iMovie won't even playback the video clips without pausing every couple of seconds. My iPhoto library lives on my internal drive.
    Regards, Tony.

  • How to put five related short videos into one folder (in Event Library)?

    I would like to take 11 short 30-second Photo Booth movies and put them into one folder titled RISE UP. This would save space in the Event Library on the left vertical column. How do I do this? Is it possible?

  • How do I get my iphoto videos into imovie

    how do I get my iphoto video into imovie

    1- on iphoto menu bar click FILE >> EXPORT and export it in ORIGINAL version to NEW EVENTS folder in MOVIES >> IMOVIE EVENTS >> NEW EVENTS
    2- try to open the video you want with quicktime player.
    IF IT OPENS WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
    - on imovie menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT and then import your movie. iMovie should convert it to a usable format which takes a few seconds and the your video will appear on the new event folder on the imovie screen (below "iphoto videos")
    IF IT DOES NOT OPEN WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
    - download "MPEG streamclip" or "Handbrake" or any program to convert videos into mov. (i think that's the format quicktime player plays). Anyway, if you use MPEG STREAMCLIP, on the menu bar go FILE >> OPEN FILES >> open the file you want (remember it should be in the "new events" folder because you just put it there in step 1). The video will open on the screen.
    - still on MPEG streamclip, go on the menu bar and click FILE >> EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. This will convert the video automatically.
    - go back to imovie. On the menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT >> MOVIES and select your video from the new event folder.
    This is what worked for me... I am no expert, it was all trial and error, but it worked in the end!

  • Sort iPhoto videos in iMovie from newest to oldest

    Hi,
    I would like to sort iPhoto videos in iMovie from newest to oldest.
    Any help would be much appreciate

    i think the iMovie iPhoto window shows them in the same order that they are in in iPhoto, so you need to make them newest to oldest in iphoto. to do that open i photo View menu -> sort photos -> and check "By date" and "Descending" and that should do it.

  • Cropping Video into Separate Files

    Hi,
    Is there any way to crop videos into separate files in iMovie?
    Thanks!

    in short: no.
    the free 30d trial of FCPX would easiely allow to crop the video.
    or,
    free Mpeg Streamclip offers a crop feature too.
    keep in mind:
    resolution gets axed by 75% doing so => dramatic quality loss.

  • Issue with recent "iPhoto Videos" not showing up in "Event Manager"

    It has been awhile since I used iMovie '11 on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display.  I believe the last time I used it was in September or October of last year (2012) as most of my editing I have been doing on the iMovie iOS app as it has been sufficient for the majority of my needs.  I was running low on storage on my iPhone this past weekend and so transferred off all my videos to iPhoto. 
    I had need to edit some of the clips I transferred off and imported in iPhoto yesterday and so went to iMovie on the Mac to do so.  It had to process the new files and then it upgraded the thumbnails to high resolution images and it was then I noticed that it did not recognize any movies after September of 2012 in the "iPhoto Videos" section of the "Event Manager."  I was able to go into iPhoto and locate the more current videos to insure they were there and that they worked (I was worried at first they did not transfer off and just deleted or were corrupt in some manner).  I have tried restarting iMovie, rebooting the Mac, etc. and nothing seems to work.  Oddly enough, I can manually import the iPhoto files and iMovie finds them that way and they do work when manually imported.  For whatever reason they just do not appear in the "iPhoto Videos" section of the "Event Manager."  I am hoping someone here has an idea on why the Mac seemingly decided to stop recognizing videos after a certain date (September 2012 as is the case here) and how I can go about resolving the issue.

    Hi Folks,
    Your iPhoto access in other programs such as iMovie depend on ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist. Whenever you add new videos to iPhoto and close iPhoto, this file gets updated. If corrupted, pull the plist, open iPhoto and a new movie and then quit. See if iMovie picks it up.
    As long as you have the latest dot release, I believe you should be fine in compatibility.
    Calbe
    I had this problem and this fixed it. The problem started for me right after I upgraded iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.2. I had to quit both apps, remove the plist file, launch iPhoto, then quit iPhoto, then launch iMovie... then iMovie asked about thumnails for videos and the iPhoto videos were back in iMovie.

  • Can't import iPhoto videos into iMovie'11

    Hi
    I just discovered that i can no longer see any iPhoto videos in iMovie.  I upprgaded to iLife'11 and to Lion. Not sure when the problem occured for the first time, i.e. at what upgrade.
    iMovie does ask if i want to import iPhoto thumbnails, i select NOW but then when i got ot the event folder and select iPhoto Videos iMovie locks up with the beacjh ball, i go to Force Quit and it tells me iMovie not responding so I have to force quit. All highly annoying as I have video in iPhoto i want to edit and put together etc.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Alright, sounds like a re-install of iMovie is in order, try ths:
    Go to Mac HD > Library > Receipts > (look for iMovie.pkg) and move that to the desktop.
    Got to Mac HD > Applications > iMovie.app (move that also to the Desktop
    We're going to trick the Mac into thinking you haven't installed iMovie yet.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Now go to the AppStore icon and launch that while holding down the Option key, when it comes up go to Purchases. With any luck it will let you re-download the iMovie installer and run the installer one more time.
    After you run the install, reboot the Mac and hold down the Option key again. Choose the Recovery drive. And run disk utility>Repair Disk Permissions from within the Recover drive (instead of running it from the Utilities folder). When it finishes Repairing Permissions, reboot one more time.
    Try launching iMovie and see if it can find the iPhoto Videos.
    Plists are where all the preferences get written so for iMovie to locate where iPhoto Library is kept it needs to read that from somewheres. Therefore it gets written in the preferences, along with the locations of the videos inside iPhoto, the names of those videos, etc. That way iMovie can just look it up without you having to launch iPhoto to find the videos.

  • Sorting home videos into appletv "home video"  category

  • Can't import IPhoto video into IMovie

    I imported a video clip into IPhoto '08 from a Casio camera -- came out in .MOV format. CAN'T import it into IMovie '08 and can't "save-as" into any other format (figuring that might help??). Help?

    I exported my lessons video clips as MPEG4, Default Settings and I am able to see the mp4 files in iMovie, even though they look like crap compared to the originals are now 4:3 instead of 16:9.
    Then don't use the default settings. Set dimension and frame rate to "current" setting used in original file. Set video data rate to same data rate as original source file. Set audio for 64 Kbps/channel at 44.1 KHz sampling rate or 80 Kbps/channel at 48.0 KHz sampling rate. If you're really having problems, simply export to iPod or TV presets.
    Shouldn't DV files work in iMovie? The source files are .mov with DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec. Isn't that one of iMovie's supported codecs?
    As I previously stated, I would normally expect a DV file to be compatible. A DV stream file contains DV video with DV audio and should be iMovie '08 compatible. Since you keep saying the DV (video) is in an MOV file container, I keep telling you that an MOV file container may contain any "valid" audio compression format and not just ones that are iMovie '08 import/edit compatible. So once again, I am reminding you to check your MOV file audio compression format to be sure it is iMovie '08 compatible. If it is, then check to see if it contains an incompatible data track. For instance, iPhoto slideshows are not iMovie '08 import compatible because they contain a "Tween" track. If your "tutorial" files also contain a "Tween" track, they will not import either.
    I just tried the Save Movie as Quicktime Movie again. It saved out using H.264, but iMovie won't recognize it.
    One more time... H.264 is a video compression format. What audio compression format did you use?
    It seems like MP4 is the ONLY codec I can get iMovie to recognize when importing movie files. That can't be right, can it?
    It probably isn't. We are rapidly reaching a point where it would be much easier to tell what is going on if you you would simply trim a snippet from one of your problem files and either e-mail it to me or post it to a server for downloading and examination.

  • How can I divide a video into separate clips?

    I need to take video that I have been given and divide it into ten second intervals in order to collect data from each clip (for behavioral analysis and research). I know nothing about using video editing software but if I can learn how to do it right I will have a new job, so I really am motivated to learn!
    Thanks in advance,
    Sandi

    Maybe you dont have to :divide" it.  (eg cut it up into ten second clips.)
    Maybe a running clock super imposed onthe footage will be a better way for your goal.
    We can tell you how to do either...but you do need the basics * edit and application fundamentals)  before starting anything.
    Dont be daunted at the start. Its easier than it looks

  • HOw to cut up a video into separate tracks?

    It's been a while since i used iMovie, so I can't remember what term I would need to look up in the help section. I have a hour long home movie that I want to cut up and use only certain portions in my final video. Each portion will then become a new track on the DVD that can be accessed via the DVD menu. How would I go about this?
    Thanks

    There are two ways to do this in iMovie 09
    1) Use Chapter Markers
    2) In the Project Library View, select the project and then click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Do this as for as many copies as you need. Then to create a shorter portion, delete the clips you do not need for that portion.
    If you are open to using another application, you can Share your movie in iMovie. Then use QuickTime Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to split the movie.
