Why does photo pane in imovie reset?

Just updated iphoto and imovie. When I started moving photos from the photo pane, I discovered everytime I delete a photo from the timeline that it would reset the photo pane to photo #1. Very irritating if you happen to be working with photo #1985. It this normal? What can I do to stop it?

Yes, that sounds normal. When you delete a clip in the timeline iMovie, iMovie selects the first clip in the photos pane. (Note that when a timeline image is selected, NO photo is selected in the photos pane, so iMovie has to select something.)
There is no relationship between a deleted timeline clip and any particular photo in the photos pane. So iMovie defaults to selecting the first available photo.
If the scrolling of the photos pane is a nuisance, consider importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iMovie. Drag them from the iPhoto window directly to the timeline. Then that will not effect iMovie's photo pane selection.
I find that method preferred anyway, in many respects. You can view many more photos in iPhoto, for example.

    Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • Why does photo booth stop recording video randomly

    Im trying to record short videos using photobooth about 3 mins long.  but when i record.  more than half the time  it will say that it is recording the whole thing
    but when i stop the recording, only about fraction of what i wanted will be there. 
    Ex. i just recorded about 3m 30sec of video...and when i stopped it....only 32 seconds of video was recorded.....
    Why is this happening?

  • Why does photo booth stop filming at a random time?

    I have 60 gigs available, so storage isn't an issue.
    I'll film a video, say, 5 minutes, and then when I click the stop button, the video will show up as 36 seconds, or 54 seconds. It will only record an arbitrary amount of the video, not the whole thing. Occasionally, it records the whole video. Other times, it randomly shuts off. What is the deal? I am about to toss my computer out a window!

  • Unable to see photographs wihin the Photos pane in iMovie HD

    Hello,
    I've recently upgraded my G4 17-inch Powerbook from i-life4 to i-life5. I'm currently have OS X 10.3.9
    The problem I have is that I can't see any photographs in the iMovie Photos pane (v5.0.2). There is a message in the pane saying "Launch iPhoto 2 or later to populate this list". After launching iPhoto (v5.0.4), it still doesn't make any difference (I do have photos & videos within iPhoto).
    I have tried creating new iMovie projects and opening existing projects. I'm still unable to see any photographs in the Photos pane. Shouldn't this pane be automatically populated with photos from iPhoto?
    I've tried using the iMovie Help to solve this problem but all it indicates is to have iPhoto v4 or later and to have least opened iPhoto one time on the computer to be able to access the iPhoto library from iMovie HD.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Why does Photos max out my CPU?

    Just "upgraded" to 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro and converted to Photos.  Every time Photos is open, a couple of seconds later, the fan is running full-bore and only stops when I close Photos.  I looked at Activity Monitor, and it is clear Photos is crushing my CPU (see attached screen shot).  What's happening?  Why is Photos crushing my CPU?  Thanks!

    Let it run.
    See the replies at > Photo is causing such high CPU usage
    The 50+ GB Library on my i5 Mac took less than 2 hours to settle down. The same 50+ GB on my 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo took almost 3 hours.

    You can enhace your knowledge by checking out the many video and PDF tutorials at the Adobe Support centre here:

  • Why does Photo Booth provide 'mirror' images?

    I took a number of pictures of my friends with Photo Booth and realised that something was wrong. When I looked closer I noticed that all the photos had been reversed and were in fact mirror images of the actual person. Why is this? I had to use the "Flip Photo" command to make them normal. I would suppose this is how the original iSight works as well although I have never tried it.
    Then I noticed that there is an "Auto flip all photos" command, which of course is what I choose. But it is beyond me why this is not the default in the first place.
    When you use a camera with a timer on it to take your picture, it does not give you a mirror image, it provides you with the true image. iSight should also IMHO.
    Griff

    It's because it's more natural for people to see themselves in a mirror while getting ready for the picture. Thus if they lift their right hand the hand on the right side of the screen would appear to rise. If the picture suddenly flipped after taking the picture, this could be confusing, which is why it isn't the default, but simply an option.

  • Why does Photo Stream keeps switching itself off?

    Hello
    I use Photo Stream, but I sometimes wonder what the point is as I have found it to be extremely temperamental. Probably 90 per cent of the time I start up iPhoto, I find that Photo Stream has switched off on its own and of course I then have to spend a valuable minute or two switching it back on again. Sometimes new photos do not sync to Photo Stream as a result. This odd glitch has gotten increasingly irritating with time and I would love to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in anticipation!
    PS - I am using the latest version of iPhoto

    Do you have more than one library?  If you do each time you change libraries you will need to activate PhotoStream for that library as PhotoStream can only be activated on one library at a time.
    If you only have one library try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Why Does Photo Image Resolution Get Downgraded In CS3?

    Hi,
    I admit from the outset that I am a Photoshop dunce, and try to run before I can walk. That said, I can get simple things done but cannot figuire out why this is happening or what to do.
    I am creating a CD box image in CS3 using a pre-created Action to make the box image that was obtained elsewhere. The problem is that when I bring in a very high quality photo (231KB), it downgrades in resolution. When it first comes in, it is gigantic and of high quality. However, when I resize it, it becomes of poor quality. I think I apply the transform when this happens?
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Asoka

    Thank you very much for your feedback and help.
    Actually, you're right about the image. I myself had a big question mark about the "high resolution image" when I went off to find the file size for this forum post, only to discover that it was less than even 1MB. Not exactly the highest resolution after all!
    I got it from iStockphoto, and it was the small version of the images that I chose, i.e. for web use primarily. But I found that I was able to do a product box, even a website banner, without any problem at all. Also, when I bring it into Photoshop, it seems to be a mile wide on a 32 inch monitor but still shows pretty high definition. That is why I thought it was high resolution.
    What I can't understand is that I created a product box with another Action with the same images and that came out just fine. It's when I try this CD box that the image quality seems to mysteriously downgrade.
    You can see the product box here:
    http://www.surgeyourtradingsuccess.com/surgebm/
    and as you see, the result is actually quite good (and these are the same images photos, i.e. under 1MB file size).
    However, when I do the CD case, this is what I get:
    http://www.surgeyourtradingsuccess.com/Case.htm
    You are correct that one should not really be working with Actions until one is experienced in the basic product. In my defense, I didn't create the Actions but rather bought them as part of a graphics product: in other words, they were pre-created so that all I have to do is add the appropriate photos, backgrounds and text and then hit the buttons. It worked fine for the product box graphic and also for this CD box graphic, EXCEPT that the latter result is low resolution.
    Any thoughts on what is happening?
