Can I use iPhoto transitions in iMovie

I noticed that there are some transitions for a slideshow in iPhoto that are not used in iMovie. For example; cube, droplet, mosiac. Is there any way to get them into iMovie?
Macbook Pro

Hello Jim,
sorry, but that's not possible. you have however two options that should get you where you want:
1. make slideshow in iPhoto and then export to QT to be then used in iMovie
2. get a third party plugin to make transitions that even iPhoto doesn't have. just goooogle "iMovie Plugins" and you'll find a ton - there's even free stuff.
hope this helps

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):

There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading. Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

HT5037 I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

Thanks, it worked first time that I double clicked as you suggested.
Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs? They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
Now I have it open- it works and..................... it does look pretty neat.

Can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

No, changes done on the iPad will not sync back to iPhoto on your mac.
But you can transfer the edited photos back to your mac - share them to the camera role or send them by mail. Any edited image you add to the camera roll can be imported into your iPhoto Library, when you connect your iPad to yourmac via USB.
But there is no real syncing of iPhoto libraries on your mac and IOS devices.

I can't use iPhoto on my new MacMini. Why?

I can't use iPhoto on my new MacMini. I transferred my photo library from my old Mac tower's iPhoto library. The photos are in there - I can find them in the photo library - but I can't get them into iPhoto - or even open iPhoto. What happens is a message: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Then, when I choose "Upgrade", I get : "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable." It goes on to tell me to Quit iPhoto, Reopen while keeping Option & Comand keys pressed." Did that over and over. Nothing changes. It also says: "Try restoring our photo library from back up" but I don't know what that means. Help.
Note: My transferred photos are in there via: Finder / Judy / Library / iPhoto Library. But I can't work with them, e.g. edit, in iPhoto or access them any other way than one at a time in that library... not exactly what I want or need.

I did everything you suggested and it seemed to be a repeat of everything I did yesterday. Going through "Macintosh HD" just got me to the same place I was in yesterday, going through Finder to 'Judy' to 'Library' to 'iPhoto Library'. There just isn't anything there that looks like what you describe: 'Permissions' or 'Rights & Priveges'. From everything I see when I monkey around in my 'User' folder, there are no restrictions on anything.
BDAqua is indicating one of the standard paths/locations for the iPhoto Library:
Macintosh HD -> Users -> Judy -> Pictures -> iPhoto Library
At least that's where mine was on Snow Leopard and is on Lion. The location you've indicated, isn't standard:
Macintosh HD -> Judy -> Library -> iPhoto Library
When you get to "iPhoto Library",
- select/hightlight it
- Then click cmd-I (or under the "File" menu, select "Get Info")
- At the very bottom of the "Info" window you should "Sharing and Permissions" -- that's what BDAqua is asking about.

What kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

what kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

Hello,
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
Hope that helps

I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

Can I use iphoto to open photos on an external HD?

Can I use iphoto to open photos on an external HD?

The iPhoto library can be located on an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
you also can have a small one on the internal drive and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move photos between the two libraries

Can't use iPhoto with OS X Yosemite.

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite a while back and just tried using iPhoto. It won't work and said my library needed to be prepared. So I went through the steps to update my library, and I still can't use iPhoto. I still tells me it needs to be prepared even though I've done it 2 or 3 times.

Did you also update iPhoto to v9.6 at the App Store? If so:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Can't use iPhoto in iMovie

When I drag a still image from my iPhoto library it shows up in the project library broswer.
It's automatically assigned the standard display time of 4 secs.
But it won't display in the playback area when you play or drag the cursor timeline over it.
The images (and I have tried many) are standad jpegs etc.
When I selct an image it displays correctly in the window above the iPhoto library.
I've also tried dragging jpegs from the desktop as well / That doesn't work either.
I've created a movie with just a couple of still images (no transitions) and that doesn't work.
I tried a video clip / still image / video clip. All that does is play the the first frame of the video as a still, then it actually plays the video and then it plays the last clip of the video as a still as the cursor travels across my actual still image.
I'm completely up to date on all updates for iLife 11
Any ideas?

Hi
Please tell: What fixes did You try - that didn't work - so we can omit them.
A. Corrupted iMovie pref file - very common problem
- Trash all iMovie pref files (or rather to test this - start a new User Account / Log into this - if iMovie now works OK then the problem most likely is here)
B. Correpted iMovie movie project - the other project's run's well
C. iPhoto - Corrupted iPhoto Library
- THIS TAKES SEVERAL HOUR TO MEND and
- YOU need lot's of free space on Your Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - else it might crash !
To me it takes about 24 hours - AND I CAN NOT use the Mac during this time (just to prevent it from HANGING and destroying more than can be fixed)
Start iPhoto - BUT KEEP option-key AND cmd-key down during all up-start.
Now You got a list to select from - SELECT ALL
IF a Lap-top - CONNECT Power-Mains - Battery will not last !
Do something else for lot's of hours.
When its done - Close iPhoto
Open iMovie and see if it now works OK
Good Luck !
Yours Bengt W

Can't use editing transitions

I am in the process of making a slideshow in iMovie HD 6.0.3. I have inserted all of the photos and now I am trying to put the finishing touches such as transitions. However, when I try to use the 15 choices, it only allows me to use 4 (fade in, fade out, wash in, wash out). Why is this? How can I get those other transitions to use? I would like to add a little variety to the transitions since the movie is almost 15 minutes long. I need to have this finished within the next two days, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!

When iMovie starts acting weirdly, a common procedure is to do the following:
Close iMovie and trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. (iMovie will recreate the file upon relaunch). Before relaunching, do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Now see if you can select your transitions.
If you still can't select your transitions, try dragging the transition to your iMovie timeline.

Can't import IPhoto video into IMovie

I imported a video clip into IPhoto '08 from a Casio camera -- came out in .MOV format. CAN'T import it into IMovie '08 and can't "save-as" into any other format (figuring that might help??). Help?

I exported my lessons video clips as MPEG4, Default Settings and I am able to see the mp4 files in iMovie, even though they look like crap compared to the originals are now 4:3 instead of 16:9.
Then don't use the default settings. Set dimension and frame rate to "current" setting used in original file. Set video data rate to same data rate as original source file. Set audio for 64 Kbps/channel at 44.1 KHz sampling rate or 80 Kbps/channel at 48.0 KHz sampling rate. If you're really having problems, simply export to iPod or TV presets.
Shouldn't DV files work in iMovie? The source files are .mov with DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec. Isn't that one of iMovie's supported codecs?
As I previously stated, I would normally expect a DV file to be compatible. A DV stream file contains DV video with DV audio and should be iMovie '08 compatible. Since you keep saying the DV (video) is in an MOV file container, I keep telling you that an MOV file container may contain any "valid" audio compression format and not just ones that are iMovie '08 import/edit compatible. So once again, I am reminding you to check your MOV file audio compression format to be sure it is iMovie '08 compatible. If it is, then check to see if it contains an incompatible data track. For instance, iPhoto slideshows are not iMovie '08 import compatible because they contain a "Tween" track. If your "tutorial" files also contain a "Tween" track, they will not import either.
I just tried the Save Movie as Quicktime Movie again. It saved out using H.264, but iMovie won't recognize it.
One more time... H.264 is a video compression format. What audio compression format did you use?
It seems like MP4 is the ONLY codec I can get iMovie to recognize when importing movie files. That can't be right, can it?
It probably isn't. We are rapidly reaching a point where it would be much easier to tell what is going on if you you would simply trim a snippet from one of your problem files and either e-mail it to me or post it to a server for downloading and examination.

Using idvd transitions in imovie.

I would like to use the transitions that are found in idvd and add them to the choices of trasitions available to me in imovie. How do I locate those transition files being used in idvd program and move them to the imove program?
I am using ilife 4.

I doubt is possible.
But you can try and then post back here the results .
Right click the iDVD application, choose Show Package Contents, and then it's up to you to search for files that might be the transitions. Look for similar things in iMovie, and see if it works.
Be aware: back-up the two apps, so if you do something wrong you have a way back.
