Can i move iPhoto videos to events in iMovie ?

Is it ok to create a new event in iMovie and drag iphoto videos into it from the iphoto videos list in the imovie event browser, and then delete the videos in iphoto via the Trash) ?
Thanks in advance

No. That would cause you to lose the videos.
When you use videos in iMovie from the iPhoto section of the Event browser, it is referencing the copy in iPhoto.

Can you move a video taken on the iPad from the camera roll to 'Videos' without syncing through iPhoto?

Pretty simple question that I can not figure out the answer to. Can you move a video taken on the iPad from the camera roll to 'videos' on the go?

I can do it on my iPhone and, according to the iPad manual (p. 58), you can do it on an iPad.
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

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.

Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into another catalogue?

Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into a another catalogue?

Two problems :
1 - You can't merge catalogs in PSE
2 - The usual workaround is to 'write metadata to files', export the files and 'get' them into the other catalog. But you can't write metadata to files with video files.
The only thing you could do would be to duplicate the catalog and delete all pictures other than your ninety videos...

Incorrect dates on iPhoto video when accessed by iMovie '09??

Hi,
I have a few videos in iPhoto. All have the correct time and date.
iMovie '09 has access to these, but is showing the incorrect date on some of them (even though iPhoto is showing the correct date). The date is the same - 31 December 1903.
It has been like this since I first used iMovie '09.
Can anybody help?
Cheers.
BTW, how do I contact Apple support about something like this? I can't find any e-mail support.

NeddySeagoon - wondering if you found the answer to this?
I too have iPhoto videos showing up in iMovie fine, but the dates are wrong in iMovie (correct in iPhoto).
Also, I have updated video titles in iPhoto, but those titles are not showing up consistently in iMovie. Perhaps related issue, I'm not sure.
Any idea if this could be a permissions issue? (Video is stored on an external drive). Or something else?
Thanks!

How can slow-motion iphone6 video be exported to imovie on an iMac and retain its slow motion effect ?

how can slow-motion iphone6 video be exported to imovie on an iMac and retain its slow motion effect ?

thx, i can't see where you do that (access the function to slow the motion of a clip). in the help file it says to 'right click' on the clip to access those functions but when i do i get these optios below (no motion, pan, zoom, pan and zoom). i want access the speed/duration sliders.
i would say the function isn't available at all, but i could be looking in the wrong place (although i have tried everything).
thx for your reply.

How do I move Iphoto videos to iMovie event library?

I have this huge English project and my Photobooth videos which I have put in Iphoto won't move into my IMovie event library! I put a background in the Photobooth video. Does that make the video invalid for Imovie videos? HELP!

Hi welcolme
You may get a better response posting this under iLife iMovie section
A PhotoBooth movie can be dragged by it's thumbnail image from the bottom of the PhotoBooth window out of PhotoBooth on to the Desktop and then can be dragged into an Event in iMovie's Event Library. Or you can drag it directly into the iMovie Event Library if you do not want a copy on the Desktop

How do I move iPhoto videos from macbook pro to macbook Air?

I have my main iphoto library on the pro but want to move things to the Air. I have been doing this through having both machines on the wireless network, sharing between them and then copying the pictures across. For some reason this won't allow me to move the videos (taken on iphone or digital camera) across. Any ideas on how I can easily get them across?

There is no way to share video. You'll need to export them from one Library and then import them to the other.

Can't find iPhoto videos in iMovie

I upgraded recently to Mavericks. I also upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4. I am running iMovie '09 (aka 8.0.6). When I open iMovie there are no iPhoto videos (other than the projects I had previously saved). I have seen some discussion of this with the most recent iMovie, but not with my version. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi
To me it means that the problem might reside in one or both of two locations:
• iMovie pref file got corrupted - trash it and try iMovie again
• iPhoto LIBRARY needs a repair - Not to rare thing to happen to me.
the iMovie pref file is in the Library - IN YOUR USER ACCOUNT - not that one on root level (first window opening when opening Start up Hard Disk (Macintosh HD).
BUT keep alt-key down (option-key) and point to top row menu and GO. Down this You find the right Library.
Here You find a folder named - Preferences - and in this You find one or more files named
com.apple.iMovie.plist (or very close to this)
drag all of them out to desktop/finder When iMovie IS NOT running. Now try iMovie.
the iPhoto Library repair:
THIS TAKES SEVERAL HOURS - to me about 24 hours ! and the Mac needs to be left alone (not running anything else - AND if a Lap-top - CONNECT Power supply ! - Battery will not last !
Keep alt-key and cmd-key (option-key and command-key) down during Full Up-Start of iPhoto.
Now Select all presented options.
Now do something nice - for a long long long time.
When done
Close iPhoto
Open iMovie and see if the iPhoto movies are in the top Menu in EVENT's window.

How can I move downloaded video to my memory card.

I have downloded some videos using "you tube downloader" and "UC Browser". The videos are saved in the application itself so that they occupy space in phone memory. I want to move these videos files to my memory card. Can anyone tell me how to do that.
Second thing I am unable to access these videos on my PC operating on OS windows 7. Can anyone tell me how to access these videos on PC.

Once I have tried that and you know ,what happen.It automatically converts the video file into a mp3 file of same size.
so when i am going to play that file in my phone it plays the file as a mp3 file only sound appears.
However when I plays that file on my PC than it is alright and plays like a video file (sound and video both appears.)

Can I move old video footage from Disk Utility to an external hard drive, to free up space?

I have a lot of old videos of my students located on Disk Utility.
I need to free up memory, so am wondering if I can move these videos to an external hard drive.
From time to time, I need to access these old videos, either to show to a new choreographer or to pull out a clip for a grant proposal, so I don't want to totally lose access to them.
Thanks so very much!!!

What's the file extension of the DVD in question located in Disk Utility? That's why I was asking for a screenshot. Is that .cdr? Can you do a File>Save As? If it's .cdr can you try dragging it to the external. Doesn't have to go to Disk Utility. Can just be to a folder there. As you drag it does it show with a + inside a green circle? That will mean it's copying it, but leaving the original in place. If it can be moved successfully, you can then remove the original from Disk Utility.
Or just copy (drag) it to your Desktop, then move it over to a folder on the external.

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.

Can you stop iphoto from making 'events'

Hi,
I dont really understand why Iphoto places all your photos into different sections depending on the day the photo was taken..
I just imported all my photos from my iphone, and now I have 1000's of different events with 2-3 photos each in them, making the screen look very messy, unorganised and hard to search through.
Is there a way to just simply display all of the photos at once without silly little 'events' for every single day?
Thanks

On Saturday I go to a wedding and take lots of piccies, on Sunday I go for a walk with friends to blow the hang-over away, on Monday I take my camera to work to take some pictures of the presentationsome colleagues give in the afternoon.
That is o.k., as long related pictures have been taken consecutively. If you are working at three projects simultaniously and are shooting the photos in the same place at the same time, you may want another organization, for example, you spend three days in a city to take pictures for a book on fountains, a book on churches, and a book on birds. The photos will be mixed and not separated by time. I dove sitting on a fountain in front of the church would be needed for all three projects. iPhoto's daily events will not reflect the projects you are working on. The name "shoot" for the photos taken on one day would be more meaningful than "event" in this case.
