Viewing only videos in iPhoto

Is there any way to view only video clips within iPhoto library? Instead of having to search through my library for video clips?

Why not make an Album of them, so they are gathered in the one place? When you import a movie it's automatically assigned a keyword. So
File -> New Smart Album
Keyword -> is -> movie

How do I view a video on iPhoto in slow motion

Is there an easy way to view a video in slow motion imported from either an i-phone or camera? I have no problem viewing the video I just want to slow it down to see the action. Thanks.

In iPhoto or your iPhone or on a Mac?
On your Mac you could install QuickTime Player 7. This lets you step a movie using the arrow keys (in slideshow mode) or play the movie at half the speed.

Viewing only videos in the camera roll

How can I only view videos like I could with IOS 6 which let you choose in the upper right hand corner if you just wanted to look at photos or just videos.
Thanks!

No, sorry.
The only way now is you'll see the movie camera image superimposed on the thumbnail for the videos and at the bottom of the camera roll, you'll see a photo count and video count displayed.

How can I find a video in iPhoto?

I am trying to find a video I took on my iPhone last year, and was subsequently imported into iPhoto. I have all these possibilities to see "Events", "Albums", "Dates," "Faces," etc., but see no way to see only movies. I tried looking back through the last year of imports, but did not see it there. There must be some way to view only videos, mustn't there?
I'm running iPhoto '09 v. 8.1.2 on a PowerMac (OSX v. 10.9.3).
I must say, I miss the pre-OSX days, when Macintoshes and their filing systems made sense!

File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Movie
Or search for mov...
You'll continue to have problems with apps like iPhoto, iMovie and iTunes if you confuse them with the filing system. They're all databases, more powerful than the filing system, but with a learning curve. And, of course, none of them are compulsory. You can just stuff files in folders if you want.

How can i watch my uploaded videos in iphoto

I have uploaded pics and videos from my iphone and i want to watch the videos in my iphoto. It will not play. Who can help?

A bit of a wild guess but download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later and then try viewing the videos in iPhoto again.

IMovie video import: It only finds videos in iPhoto?!

Based on Jobs' roll-out presentation, I expected iMovie 08 to find "all" my video files, as he stated it would. In fact, it only found and displayed my low resolution still camera videos that had been imported into iPhoto. (Does anyone actually use iPhoto for video files from DV or HD cameras?)
Granted, this is a really cool way to collect and view all those iPhoto videos that I've never really looked at before, but what I want to edit with iMovie is my DV video that is dispersed on a few drives and in many folders. I expected iMovie to search for and provide access to all of those files too.
Apparently the only way to access my DV video files is to either copy or move them. Neither is practical. Copying all that video would be a huge waste of disc space. Moving them would destroy all my existing FCP and iMovie HD projects.
Why can't iMovie find all my existing videos wherever they are and in whatever format? Then I could view their content and import (and thus copy) only the individual clips I want to use in an iMovie project. That would only duplicate the video files that are actually being used.
iMovie 08 has great potential for a consumer video editing tool, and it will obviously grow in features and capability over time. However, the release version is quite obviously a work in progress. Once again it is clear that Apple considers its software users to be beta testers...and they let us pay for the privilege.

+I can't import any video into iMovie. It imported 2 videos from iPhoto and that was all. I have about 30 videos in iPhoto. I've tried it all.+
Search trough this forum a bit. Some people have reported problems with certain characters in file names. It also only imports certain video formats. Some still cameras produce video clips in "unusual" formats that require conversion before iMovie '08 accepts it.

Hi I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send via mail. When I tap on the video it only gives me the option to send iit as mail again

Hi I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send to me via email. When I tap on the video icon it only gives me option to send as a mail or to open in drop box which I don't want to open in.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

Can't view video in iPhoto

Can't view video in iPhoto on my iMac but I can view it on my iPad! Source of video iPhone, sent to me via email. Appears in iPhoto on my iMac as a blank folder. Using OSX 10.9.5 Maverick. Any ideas? I have the same problem with a voice recording sent to me in the same way.

That's a whole new ball game. Go the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos check box.
In iPhoto go to its iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes.
Reboot, and go back to each preference pane and recheck those boxes. That should jumpstart the Shared Photo Streams.

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

How to view videos in iPhoto '08

Using iPhoto '08 with latest version for iMac OS X version 10.9.4. Had this problem previously and had to call apple support representative some time ago. It was corrected but has happened again. Don't remember what was changed to correct this issue. I believe I had to install optional package using the Snow Leopard disc. After that, don't remember...Any suggestions before I call Apple Support?

To add, when I do try to Play videos in IPhoto'08, QuicktimePlayer7 opens full screen but will not play content .

Viewing or working with videos in iPhoto

I downloaded a bunch of pictures and 1 video from my Canon camera and I can't play the video in iPhoto. How do I play it and how do you work with videos?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you installed Snow Leopard did you select the option to include Quicktime Player 7 in the installation? It would be in the Applications/Utilities folder. If it's not there then do a custom install of SL and select just QT Player 7.
If it's there then it could be a codec issue as Roddy has already pointed out.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.

How do I move videos from iphoto to imovie

I've got a new macbook pro 17", Pegasus 12TB, and all manner of photos and videos. Ive recently upgraded from a G5. Hence, I took a variety of USB drives and found all sorts of photos and videos, FCE stuff, and basically did my best to consolidate them into either Aperture 3.x (kept up to date) and iMovie (latest updates). I keep all my software updated as soon as any update is released.
I am finally learning a bit about how to use a laptop with tons of information (pic/vids mostly). It wasn't as easy as I thought. Needless to say, the laptop is the cruncher of information and the pegasus is a screamer with speed. I am moving all my files (aperture libarary, iphoto library, and FCE stuff) to the pegasus seeing as the cute little internal HD doesn't hold much.
I've been able to find out how to move iMovie files from my internal drive and various other asundry of external FW800 drive into the pegasus 12TB to consolidate them in one place. All seems well after a few months of figuring this out, getting a quasi-workflow going.
Now I'm stuck a bit. I have Aperture and iPhoto showing up in my event library as having vidoes. I used to use iPhoto to manage videos that were simple point and shoot camera style vids. I now want to take the many files and do the same as I've done with all other video: move the video files under iMovie control on the Pegasus.
Problem: I can't seem to make this work except in one fashion: drag each and every individual clip over to an event in iMovie under Pegasus drive. Talk about time consuming! Not only that, it doesn't move it, it copies it. Then I have to go back and delete it in iphoto.
I've tried making a smart folder in iPhoto to find videos and then hopefully export them to the desktop. Then I could import into iMovie on the pegasus. No go. Can't find the videos. They are somehow scattered about inside of iPhoto in such a manner that I can't seem to find them unless I open each project and manuall search them out. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, has to be an easier way.
I tried highlighting all the videos on iphoto that show up in the imovie events library and just doing a mass drag/drop. Not go. Just doesn't do it. Ignores me.
I'm out of ideas.
How does one get video scattered around inside of iPhoto (and to a lesser extent, aperture) so that I can consolidate them under iMovies control on the pegasus?
Thanks
Robert

iMovie can access those movies that are inside iPhoto. Just look in the Event pane of iMovie and click on the iPhoto icon:
All of the movies in iPhoto will be displayed at the right where you can access them for whatever project you'd like.
Otherwilse you'd have to export all of them out of iPhoto using the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and use the Format = Original option. Them move them into a folder in the Movies fodler and let iMovie find them there. Then you'd have to do that each time you import a movie into iPhoto or manually upload the photos and movies ot a folder on your Desktop and then import the photos only into iPhoto and move the movie files into the Movie folder.
