Cannot import or see iphoto slide exported movie in imovie

I made a movie from slides in iphoto. I then decided that a caption might be nice, and went to imovie to add it. iMovie '08 is not able to read the file. It is a .mov, and other movies it reads are .mov, so I cannot fathom why it cannot be read. If I use import, the title is not highlighted - as if it is not a recognized format. QT reads the movie just fine of course. iDVD sees the file just fine too.

I concur, I also exported a slideshow from iphoto and cannot import into iMovie08. Looking at the info for the .mov file its an MPEG-4 file which is supposed to be supported so this is not good. ... unless there is some trick (which we shouldnt have to do of course).

Aperture cannot import anything from iPhoto and other bugs!!

Aperture is buggy. Recently, I just updated Mac OS X to 10.4.5 and also updated iLife 06. Now I cannot import anything from iPhoto. I tried import images from iphoto or import iphoto library, both not working. I can import images from other directories but jut could not see anything display under iphoto library directory. Trying to use import iphoto library, click choose and then nothing happens.
If you create a smart web gallery, all photos will be automatically duplicated.

I used Pacifist.app to find iPhoto in the iLife '06 install package and then installed the app in the default location replacing the bundle that was there.
the normal method gave me an install error.
Thank you to the person who discovered this.
I was going nuts trying. I have 6 iphoto libraries with 30,000 photos in total and some would import fine and others would not. couldn't tell the difference between them and had forgotten the update. just got a new iMac intel and wasn't paying attention. Causality

Importing A Single Chapter Of A Movie Into iMovie?

Hi,
I've got a movie that has chapters encoded in it in my iTunes library. I'd like to import a single chapter of the movie into iMovie (or possibly GarageBand?) to work with. I'd rather not import the entire movie and then delete everything except the one chapter as that would take ages and lots of space. Is it possible to import just a single chapter of the movie, and, if so, how can this be done? Also what is the best way to go about this (iMovie, Garageband, etc.?). Thanks!
Kate

Is it possible to import just a single chapter of the movie, and, if so, how can this be done?
No. The whole movie would have to be imported before you could trim it in either iMovie or GarageBand. You could, however, oen the file in either QT Pro or MPEG Streamclip, trim the file to the segment you want, save it to your hard drive, and the easily import just the saved segment to either iMovie or GarageBand.

Cannot import files into iPhoto

I have home movie files on an external hard drive that were downloaded there from my old Windows XP computer. They are ".mov", ".mpg", and ".avi" file extensions. When I try to import them into iPhotos on my iMac, running OS X Mavericks, I get a dialog box stating that they cannot be imported. How do I get these movies onto my iMac. Thank you for your help!

There must be compatible with Quicktime formats:
Media formats supported by QuickTime Player
If you can open the movies with Quicktime, save or export within the app to a compatible format. Otherwise you'll have to use another 3r party software to convert those movies, or use another player to view the movies without converting them, but does will not fix your issue with iPhoto.

Thank you

You do not ever directly access the contents of the iPHoto library - use the media browser - in the lower left of the insert window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

Cannot import Raw1 to iPhoto -Help!

I have used Raw format and have no problems importing to iPhoto ‘09. I now tried Raw1 (Canon 50D) and cannot import. Can use image capture to bring to desktop but still unable to import into iPhoto ‘09. Elements 6 has no problem with this format. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

sRAW is not an option for iPoto at tis time
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25114?viewlocale=en_US
You will either have to accept the size limitation of the RAW choice, get larger memory cards or shoot JPEG
You can suggest support to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
I have read that Canon will not release the specs and that until they do Apple will not provide support - but that is purely rumor

Garbled audio when exporting movies using iMove 09

Hello,
Whenever I try to export my Movie using iMovie 09, certain scenes have garbled audio.
The scene play properly within iMovie 09.
It also has the same garbled audio when I try to share it to iDVD.
Any suggestions?

There is a well known audio glitch in iMovie '09. If making speed changes to your project, such as slow or fast motion, you must use only the presets shown on the speed slider. These are: 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400% and 800%. Do not use custom speeds, by manually entering your own percentages.
If you don't use the presets, you are highly likely to see audio problems in the exported project. As you have noted, the glitch appears only in the export but is not evident in preview (within iMovie).
The only fix (other than going through a convoluted process) is to adjust all custom speed changes to the presets. This is a nuisance, of course, as you may have to resync the video and audio where you have added voiceovers or music tracks.

Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

Hi this is my first post on this site.
I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
Please help!

Export movie on iMovie lossless

Anybody knows how to export AVCHD movies lossless, I mean without conversion when you are exporting movies. I am converting AVCHD (mts) to mov before import.
The iMovie is the latest version, 11.
Luiz

In fact, the final video edited is for my personal file,. I took many movies from HD camera, edit them, and have one final file edited. I used to do this process with PMB (Sony software) which does the edition in perfect way: you can cut or join parts of video without any kind of conversion or loss. Unfortunatelly it works only in Windows plataform.
I really don't know how they didn't release this software for Mac. It is too sad having a Mac and be impossible to edit AVCHD without quality loss.
I am wondering to install Paralles and Windows, just to be able to do this lossless (very disappointed).

Trouble "exporting movie" from iMovie when uploading to You Tube....

Hi, I have never had a problem with uploading my projects from iMovie to You Tube off my iPad. I have about 32GB's available on my iPad 3. I only have about 5 projects and never had any hassle going thru the upload process? Now, with my latest project complete (only about 4.5min) I click on upload to You Tube, it then says "exporting movie" as it normally says, but doesn't go any further - just hangs there?
Any help appreciated!

well... for anyone else experiencing something similar, here's how I worked around it :
1. Once I have edited my video in the iMovie app and I want to publish it, I then select the publish option, and then choose YouTube as the place I'd like to publish it.
2. I then fill out all the fields in the 'Publish to YouTube' form, as if I was about to publish it.
3. I then select CANCEL, to cancel out of the 'Publish to YouTube' form.
4. I then exit the iMovie app, and force it to close by going into the app dock and forcing it to close there.
5. I then re-open the iMovie app, and choose the video I want to publish, select the publish option, choose YouTube as the place I'd like to publish it.
6. The fields are now already populated with the information I had entered previously, although I still need to select the video quality and also whether it should be public or private.
7. I now click "publish" and it publishes correctly, with all the correct meta-data / title / description etc. attached.
This has worked for me consistently over the past couple months now,
Hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.
Cheers,
Nick

How to get iPhoto slide show .mov to YouTube?

I've created a slide show in iPhoto which I want to upload to YouTube.
It is created as a movie, .mov 45 mb
I thought I could load it directly to YouTube, but apparently I have to convert it. Can someone tell me how to do the conversion?
YouTube says the preferred formats for video are H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred.
Thanks for your assistance,
Jeanie

Thanks, Larry,
I've downloaded this software -- great tool.
However, I still am unable to upload to YouTube. I exported the mov to create an MPEG-4. It plays perfectly on my computer, but I still get an error message when trying to upload to YouTube.
There is another weird thing that has been happening, which might be the problem or a clue to the problem.
In iPhoto, my first slide is a title screen. However, I noticed that after I uploaded the mov to Audio Acrobat, a black slide precedes the Title slide. I thought maybe something happened at Audio Acrobat (haven't taken the time to call them). I have this video playing at one of my web sites, and there is a black slide at the beginning.
OK, so back to this .... the same thing happens when I open the iPhoto file in MPEG Streamclip. It starts with a black slide rather than the title slide.
To test to see if a black slide got added in iPhoto, I use the back arrow with the title screen visible and the last slide shows. In other words, iPhoto is not showing a black slide.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeanie

IPhoto slideshow export movie size

A while ago I created a slideshow in iPhoto and then used the Share/Export command to create a .mov file. I then imported this into iDVD and everything worked fine. However, I wanted to edit the photos in the slideshow so I made the modifications in iPhoto and did the same Share/Export option to create the .mov file. However when I import this into iDVD I get black bars and the top and bottom of the screen.
I chave checked the information on the old and new .mov files, the old one which displays correctly in iDVD has a size of 720 x 540 pixels. The new one is 720 x 480 pixels.
Can anyone tell me how I can create a .mov file in iPhoto with a pixel size of 720 x 540, I can't seem to do it any more, however I have done it once before.
I am using iMovie5 and iDVD5, the only change I can think of between making the two .mov files is an OS X update a few weeks ago.
Many thanks in advance.

I get black bars and the top and bottom of the screen.
Does the slideshow display the same on the monitor in iPhoto as it did the first time? The reason I ask is the problems in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1378924#1378924. Very strange behavior between two seemingly identically sized image files.
Is this after burning to disk and playing on a TV set? With the overscan issue with TVs having the bars on the top and bottom probably will not show on the TV and may allow even more of the video to show in the final product. I tried a test slideshow, 720x480 in both a PAL project and NTSC and they both show the bars in the preview mode. However the same slideshow Shared directly to iDVD does not display the black bars. It gets saved to the Movie folder and it's size is 720 x 540. So you may want to do a direct Share to iDVD instead of export to QT first.
Also you might burn both on a disk and see what they show as on the TV. The smaller one may lose less to overscan than the large version. Good luck.

Cannot import photos to iPhoto

Hi, everyone!
I am experiencing iPhoto unexpectedly quitting for a long time. Each time I plug in my iPhone 5s and it will read my photos. It can read all my photos from the process bar. However, it will go to furher processing before I can do any uploading work. After waiting for a long time (about 10 min), it will suddenly quits. And the problem has lated for half month. I tried other iPhone with my pro, it doesn't show the same problem and I also tried to connect my 5s with other mac it also works fine. Only connecting my 5s with my mac pro, the problem appears.
I have successfully uploaded photos from 5s to this pro, from half month before, it suddenly fails every time. Feels really sad:(
My iphone has a lot of photos (about 30,000). Does it will affect the processing? I see someone saying to clear the caches. But I did not see any caches I can clear. I also tried to restart my iPhone and my mac pro. Nothing helpsTT Is there anyone experiencing the same problem?
Do u have the solutions?
Really appreciated if you can help! Because I found rather troublesome to use the image capture. Because it cannot separate the photos by date automatically>< I want to import my photos to MBP and to release some storage in my iphone!

Cannot import photos to iphoto because it says there was an error downloading an image.

I cannot access my photos through image capture either. I'm trying to import from my iphone 5 with the latest update to a macbook running on 10.6.8.

if neither iPhoto nor Image Capture can import from your iPhone, the problem may be with the iPhone. Is the iPhone properly charged? Are you using the original cable?
Restart or reset the iPhone:
See this page: restart your device http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
reset your device
Try to transfer one of the photos by Wi-Fi - put it into a Dropbox or use the Photo Stream. Then you can try, if iPhoto can open the transfered photo, and you can check, if the photos are problematic -wrong color profile or something.
