Can I rotate video clips in iphoto?

Hi;
I just finished taking a combination of photos and video clips for an event. I downloaded them into iPhoto. I noticed when watching the slideshow of the event that some of the videos need to be rotated (I guess I took them in "portrait" not regular "landscape"). Also - I have one video clip where I must have rotated the camera mid-way through and need to rotate only the part of that video where it was "portrait".
Any ideas on how to do this in iPhoto? Must I do this in iMovie instead?

If you have Quicktime Pro 7 and Quicktime Player 7 you can rotate the movie. Like Larry I'm not familiar enough with iMovie to know if it can do that.
There may be 3rd party apps that can do it. Go to MacUpDate.com and search for "rotate movie" or other permutations to see what you find.

How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

Hello andrewmarkp,
As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.
Cheers,

Can I 'mute' video clips in iphoto

There is a slide beneath each clip which will mute when the clip is playing, but when it is then added to a Ken Burns slideshow the sound reappears. How can I mute the clip without having to take it to iMovie? Many thanks for any help

You've been to great places! Like the slideshows. For your slideshow videos you can add the sound track in iMovie. Render the slideshow in iPhoto to a video file - without background music, and then add the sound track in iMovie. If iPhoto added a soundtrack, use the "Detach Audio" command in iMovie to delete the audio from the clip.
Would you suggest Aperture would suit me! I am willing to give it a go, but I do hate having to learn new programmes, hence my having held off from buying. Really interested in your thoughts.
To use Aperture well, you would have to spend some time exploring the features.
The transition from iPhoto to Aperture is made easy, since both applications can share the photo libraries. You can switch back and forth between both programs and all edits done in one application will be visible in the other.
What you would get with Aperture:
More control when building the Aperture library. You have more views to browse the library; for example you could have more than one album or event open when browsing and can compare albums or events.
More access to metadata. You can display all EXIF and IPTC data with your photos and search for them in smart albums or searches, also create custom tags.
Hierarchical keyword categories. You could define keywords "animal > bird > sparrow", and if you add the keyword sparrow, the image will automatically have the keywords "bird" and "animal" as well.
More control over the RAW development, if you are shooting RAW.
Better timezone handling. You can specify the timezone your camera has been set to, when you import your photos. That is very convenient for long distance travel and moving back and forth between time zones.
More advanced image adjustments. Many adjustments can be brushed in locally. You can lift adjustments from one image and stamp them on others, so all images will be adjusted in the same way.
Referenced images - you can have your Aperture library on one drive, and the original photos on other drives. This is convenient for growing photo libraries, that ill not fit on one drive. Aperture has tools to reconnect missing originals, also you can export partial libraries or merge libraries. When I am traveling, I am starting a new Aperture library on my MacBook Pro, so I can get started with tagging the photos while I still remember, where the photos have been taken, and when I come home, I will merge the new library into my main aperture library.
Most important, if your workflow has repetitive elements, you can define presets for your most frequently used actions and apply them automatically to newly imported images. I think it is a great tool, and do not regret to have switched my main libraries to Aperture, mainly because of the advanced options to keep my libraries organized.

Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
What do I need to do?
Thanks!
Ayca

Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately? If so then here's how:
1 - open iDVD and select your theme.
2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left.
Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos. Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

Sharing Video Clips with iphoto

When I import video clips into iphoto everything works perfect. I can view and hear video. But when I share or export with QT Pro I lose the audio track. I am using a Sony Cyber-shot digital camera. I have searched and searched but I cannot find an answer to this question. HELP!

Your Sony camera probably make MPEG-1 files and QuickTime (or any app that uses it) can't extract audio from these "muxed" file formats.
Download and install MPEG Streamclip (free). It can convert your .mpg files to other formats (.dv for iMovie or iDVD). Audio track comes along, too.
If your camera creates MPEG-2 formats you'll also need the MPEG-2 Playback Component (sold at the Apple Store for $20).

I am having trouble dragging a video clip from iPhoto to iMovie.

I am having trouble dragging a dropping a video clip from IPhoto to IMovie. Has anyone done this? Is this even possible?

I had this problem too, and I don't think it is possible; I'm pretty sure the only videos you can put on iMovie are ones you record with the built in camera on the computer, or a video camera.

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

Can't transfer video out of iPhoto...

Hi- hope this is the correct place to post this- if not please re-direct me. Thanks.
question: I can't transfer video file from iPhoto (9.5.1) to iMovie (10.0.4). The video is 6 minutes and 465MB. I tried to trim but that doesn't shorten actual file. Any suggestions? There seems to be a size limit. Also- what's strange is that when I click "import" from iMovie, I can't find any library of iPhoto events. So, I tried to drag the file from iPhoto to iMovie (seems to work for smaller files) and that's when I discovered I couldn't drag this bigger one. Thanks,
Brad

I don't want to import video clips from iPhoto!

iMovie automatically imports video clips from iPhoto, and I don't need or want this to be done. I don't want to delete or move those clips from iPhoto, so is there a way to prevent the automatic transfer?
