Aperture 3.1 edits don't show up in iMovie '11

I am new to Aperture. I am creating a movie with still shots in iMovie. In the photo browser I can select a photo and then click "Open in Aperture". I've done this and edited my photo. But the edits do not show up in iMovie -- even after closing and reopening both programs. Why is iMovie still using the older version of the photo? The weird thing is that some of my edited photos now show the edited version in the iMovie thumbnail browser, but when I drag the photo into the project it still shows the old version. HELP! Project due SOON!

I am having this problem as well. Granted, I am a new user for both Aperture (3.1) and iMovie (11).
I have regenerated all the previews in the Aperture album I am using for my iMovie slideshow, I have quit Aperture and iMovie, and relaunched iMovie, and still find that photos I drag in from the Media Browser don't show my most recent edits. I have also found that the recently edited previews come in "soft" even though my Aperture prefs are set to "Don't Limit" for Photo Preview, and "12" for Photo Preview Quality (and I regenerated the previews after I edited my preferences).
What is missing from my workflow? I have Aperture set to "Always" share previews with iLife and iWork.
Thanks for any thoughts.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Edits don't show if the photo is exported as DNG

When I make edits (such as spot healing or cloning) in Lightroom and export the photo to another directory as DNG, those edits don't show - the image opens in Camera RAW and the removed blemishes are still there. On the other hand, if I export as JPEG, all of those edits are included. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is supposed to be?

I may be incorrect on this but, as I understand it (and I am depending on other more knowledgeable people to correct me if I am wrong), when you export a JPEG image, LR will back your changes, stored in the catalog, into the exported image. However, when you export a RAW image, even as a DNG, LR will export the changes, also stored in the catalog, in a sidecar (.XMP) file. LR will never update the RAW file as these are proprietary files structure and not documented as to their internal structure. When you export a RAW file, check the directory to see if there is a .xmp file with the same name as the .dng file. This is where your edits will be. Keep in mid that not all external editors will recognize the sidecar files. Photoshop and Elements do however.
There is an option to 'write metadata to files' on the Metadata menu. If you click this, LR will write the changes stored in the catalog into your image file for JPEG, TIFF and DNG files. For a RAW image however, these updates are only written to a sidecar file. I import my RAW images as DNG files and when i am done with edits and/or metadata changes, I will use the write-to-file option to update the images with the changes. This way, I am sure that no matter where I copy these images files, my edits and metadata also go along for the ride. This is what works for me but may not be another's cup of tea.

Photos don't show up in iMovie

I have photos in events in iPhoto that don't show up when I try adding them in in iMovie. any idea what the problem is? I can see them as I look at them in iPhoto but I try putting them into iMovie and they are no where to be found. Help please! I dragged them into the iPhoto application and it said importing, shows them in there. I don't get it?

Photoshop Edits don't Show

When I export into an external editor (PSE 9), make a few edits and save back to Aperture 3 I see the version, but it is unchanged except that because of my export pre-set it is now a tiff file.
I export with the preset of tiff (8bit) 300dpi.
Why, and how do I get it so that when an edit is saved it acutally shows the edits?

Leonie, that is what I do, while in PSE I simpy hit "save", it takes me to the aperture library and hence it is saved there.
The problem remains. Here is a photo I turned to B&W
This is how it appears in A3. I also changed the title because they both had the same title by adding "edit" but that isn't visible in A3 either. Also, it appear that if I trash the edit it still remains in the library and in the library it shows the edit.
Also, when I clicked save, it was to be a jpg but it is in A3 as how I told A3 to export it, as a psd.

Adobe Digital Editions don´t shows me my bibliothek

Hello. Since ADE crashed while downloading a ebook, it only shows me a white screen. I can´t see my bibliothek with my ebooks. If I want to add one of my ebooks again, ADE reports, the ebook is already in the bibliothek. But the bibliothek will not be displayed. I have installed ADE again, but this didn´t help. I would appreciate, if somebody could give some advice. Thanks.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

My videos only download into image capture and they don't show up in imovie because image capture wont let me download in photo,event,face ect... so is there anyway i can get it to go to imoive please help!!!!!!!!!

My camra is a canon powershotA40000IS

In iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE and navigate to the folder where Image Capture stored your movies.
If that does not work...
Open iPhoto, and click FIle/Import To Library and navigate to your camera.
You can also click on your camera in Image Capture and set it to automatically open iPhoto, if you want.

Why my edits don't transfer between lr4 and cs4

I edit my images for the most part in LR4 then export as a raw file into a new folder. Then when I view the images in bridge my edits don't show up. Do I have to convert to JPEG for my edits to stick?
Thank you!!!

Victoria Bampton wrote:
The short answer is yes. CS4 won't understand the edits you've done in LR4, because it's so much older. You'd need CS6 for PS to understand them.
The original question asked about JPGs. The user could convert the photos to TIF, avoiding the drawbacks of JPGs, which would then work in CS4.

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

Aperture photos don't show on iTunes synch

Synching with iPhoto works fine, butI can't see any photos when attempting to synch to Aperture. As noted in another post, Projects don't show up. It does see smart albums, but with a zero photo count for all. Any thoughts on why? Do Aperture photos have to be managed in the library vs referenced in order to be seen and synched? [All of my photos are references to outside image files.] Does it matter that the Aperture library is maintained in a non-standard location?

in the photos tab of the A-TV setup, there's a label near the top that says, "Sync photos from:" and a pull-down menu next to it. from here you can choose either iPhoto or Aperture. you have to have Aperture selected in order to sync them and see your albums.
also, make sure that you've got at least Aperture 1.5, but preferably 1.5.2 and that you've got previews turned on and being generated for new albums. finally, there's also a setting in the preferences to share the previews with other iLife apps. i think iTunes needs that to be able to see/sync photos.

Logo Component - Design mode shows the edit component toolbar don't show "Edit" button

I just created a Logo component on my website following the CQ "How to create a Fully Featured Internet Website" guide.
I do create the logo component, edited the jsp page with the following code
<%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
<%@ page import="com.day.text.Text,
                 com.day.cq.wcm.foundation.Image,
                 com.day.cq.commons.Doctype" %>
<% String home = Text.getAbsoluteParent(currentPage.getPath(), 2);
    Resource res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("fileReference");
    if (res == null) {
        res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("file");
    log.error("path is:" + currentStyle.getPath());
%>
    <a href="<%= home %>.html"> <%
    if (res == null) {
        %> Home Page <%
    }else {
        Image img = new Image(res);
        img.setItemName(Image.NN_FILE, "file");
        img.setItemName(Image.PN_REFERENCE, "fileReference");
        img.setSelector("img");
        img.setDoctype(Doctype.fromRequest(request));
        img.setAlt("Home Page");
        img.draw(out);
    %>
    </a>
Then, I created the tag "<cg:include>" in my jsp page, calling this jsp.
After all that, I created the Design Dialog for my logo component, then a "items" node under the tab1 node of the design dialog.
After this, finnaly, the widget node (absParent), under the items created before.
A lot of propertys later, I got my Logo object in the page, but the toolbar with the "Edit" button on Design mode don't show me the "Edit button"
Someone can tell me how to get the button there?
Is some property that I may have forgotten?
Thanks.

Basically, the edit toolbar has the same with as your component, which indeed is problematic for narrow components.
But you can work-around that with a basic CSS hack:
.cq-editbar {
    min-width: 200px !important;
    _width: 200px !important; /* IE6 */
This seems to be fixed in CQ 5.5.

Edits done in ACR don't show in LR 2

I like to use both LR2 and Bridge 2 (PS CS3/Bridge) and all edit that I make in straight ACR 4.5 do not show in LR2 but the ones I make in LR2 do show in Bridge and when I open that image in ACR.
What setting do I need to change in either ACR or LR2 to make the edits done in ACR show up in LR2.

In ACR you have an option to save the adjustments to sidecar files (default) or a centralized database. At least it used to be so. Make sure the adjustments are saved to sidecar files.
Also, in LR you have to read metadata from files - the adjustments won't load automatically from those .xmp sidecar files.

Workflow - Aperture to Photoshop, edited image back to Aperture?

Hi experts...
I'm sure I am doing something wrong here, I just don't know what it is...hoping you can give me some advice.
Let's say I have a RAW file in Aperture (a referenced file, if it makes a difference) called "A". I want to tweak this photo and then post to Flickr. For various reasons, I choose to edit this particular image in Photoshop. So when I tell Aperture to edit "A" in an external editor, it creates a version (I think?) called A.TIF and then takes me into Photoshop.
After my edits in Photoshop, I want to save the image as a JPEG for exporting to Flickr. I save it as "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG". Before I exit, Photoshop asks me if I want to save the changes I made to the TIF. "Naaaah," I think...I've got the JPEG.
Now, here's where it goes sideways. I would hope/expect that when I return to Aperture, "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG" is 'linked' to the original version, or at least appears in the catalog. It doesn't. I have to import "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG" into Apeture.
This seems really messy - is there some way to have the edited image show up in A3 and have it linked (version, whatever) to the original? If not, is there a way to at least have the edited image automatically show up in the Aperture catalog?

Aperture expects the same file format back. In PS, just close the file (save when asked) and it will show up in Aperture with the PS changes (and in the format in which it was sent to PS). You can then use Aperture to export (in any way you want).
Alternatively you can just export from Aperture and then save/save-as from PS. In this case your edited photo is not in your Aperture Library. This method is generally considered less desirable.
Here is the relevant section from the Help file:
*To use an external editor in Aperture*
Select an item in the Browser.
Choose Photos > Edit with > {application name} (or press Command-Shift-O).
Aperture creates a new master (leaving the original unchanged), converts it to the chosen file format, and then opens the file in the external editor. The file is tracked as a new master stacked with the original master.
When you’ve finished modifying the image, audio, or video file in the external application, save the file.
The saved file is automatically updated in Aperture.
