Change a group of photos to meet length of audio

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to change a group of photos' length to meet the length of an audio clip? I know that you can individually change each photo length but I need help with selecting a group of photos and making them all fit the length of a music clip.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

You may want to try to repair your iPhoto Library. Errors may have crept in. Back up you library first. Hold down the option and command keys when you start iPhoto. This will bring up repair options. Try the first two or three, one at a time, and see if it helps.
You may also want to check out the iPhoto Library Manager App.

Batch change clip duration - multiple photos in iMovie 11

Hi everyone,
Many thanks to anyone who can help. I know about clicking on the cogwheel to adjust the duration of a single photo, or to apply to ALL photos, but what I'd like to do is select a group of photos out of all the ones I've already added to my movie, and I'd like to adjust the duration of just those photos. Any ideas??
Again, thanks so much if you can help!

Hi AppleMan1958,
I tried what you suggested to batch-adjust clip length with 'Show Advanced Tools' checked, but under 'Paste Adjustment', there's still no 'Clip Adjustment' option. None of the available options under it (All, Video, Crop, Video Effect, Speed) works.
This problem is very frustrating!
Is there a setting to allow you to change clip lengths and transition as you progress through the slide show? And if you make changes in the middle section of the project, then the part ahead of it simply shunts back and forth, instead of changing clip length and transition duration on its own.
I use a MacBook Pro running OS X and iMovie 11.

How do I *REALLY* change the date on photos?

I'm having trouble with this, and I'm sure there has to be a fix.
Let's say I took a group of photos last week. But oops, I forgot to set the date and time on my camera. So when I import the photos, iPhoto places them under April 2004 instead of June 2007.
No problem. I select all the photos, do a batch change on the date, and they now "appear" to be taken in June 2007.
But they weren't really changed. If you view the info for the photos, you'll see that they are still marked as April 2004 for the original date.
So basically iPhoto has set-up some type of filter to show the photos in 2007, even though the computer still believes they are from 2004.
This became a big problem when I imported my library to my new Mac. Perhaps I did something incorrectly, but I had quite a few imported photos that reverted back to their Original date, instead of the fake one I had set up in iPhoto. So my Library was a mess and I had to re-organize my collection.
This problem would be avoided if iPhoto really and truly changed the date timestamp on my pictures, as I asked.
I've downloaded several programs that offer photo meta editing. None of them did the job. They just changed the photo "Date Modified" to be June 2007. But if you look at their properties, they still show 2004 as the Original Date.
Mac OS X is a very smart system. Surely there is some way to truly force change the dates on photos. Afterall, they are just data in themselves. I can't imagine there isn't a way.
Can you help? Is there a work-around in iPhoto or OSX, or a separate program I can download?
Thanks!

Jon:
Dragging the thumbnails to the desktop and exporting are essentially the same process, producing copies of the full sized image file. Exporting gives you other options, however. Once you get the photos out of iPhoto you can run PhotoInfo on them and then import as new files. iPhoto will see those new files with the correct date. If you try running PhotoInfo on files already in iPhoto, you can change the EXIF Capture Date in the file but iPhoto won't recognize the changes.

If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

I made a imovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to DVD on iDVD and played back the disc all of the photos were larger than the frame could accommodate and the sides were cut off. I also tried resizing from 16 9 to 4 3 and no better

I made and iMovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to I DVD the pictures came out to wide to fit into the frame. I tried again by changing the size from 16 9 to 4 3 and it didn't make any difference. Would going to share to browser rather than directly to share to IDVD make a difference?

What do the photos look like if you play the movie within iMovie? Sounds like adjusting Ken Burns would help.

How to back up a group of photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive

how to back up a group of photos[an album] in iPhoto to an external hard drive. not taking them out of iPhoto just backing up

If you're not taking them out of iPhoto, then you need to back up the iPhoto Library:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Batch Enhancing for a group of photos

Hi,
I just took over 100 photos that all need to be enhanced similarly. I was going to use the auto-enhance feature on each one. Is there a way to use this feature on a group of photos other than going through each one individually?
Thanks

Valid concerns.

but wont lift and stamp lift the changes done to that photo only and so it will make the same adjustments for every photo to be the "auto enhanced" settings of photo 1, which may not be the best for photo 2?
No. Lift & Stamp of "Exposure→Default Adjustment" from a Version which has been auto-adjusted using the Exposure brick will cause the stamped Version to be auto-adjusted. This is easily tested (auto-adjust, lift, select another Version, stamp, compare the values in the Exposure brick to make sure the stamp is relative not absolute, auto-adjust the stamped Version and see if the Exposure values are changed).
I do not want to auto-enhance on import becasue I want the master RAW files to remain intact so that I can use them for detailed editing in photoshop, but when I am doing samples I want to just use a quick edited version like the auto enhance.
Raw is raw. It is not an image format, it is a data format. What you see in Aperture is an image format file which Aperture creates from your raw files. You should test this as well: import two images (helpful if they are poorly exposed) and auto-enhance them as part of the import. Select them after import and "reset all adjustments". Tell us what you find out.
I am 98% certain that the processing you tell Aperture to do on import is done as a Version of the raw file.

Need to change time on some photos in iPhoto

Hi- I have no real experience with automator, but I think it could help me out here.
I have 1500 photos taken on a 2 week trip. I am going to put the best of them together as a slide show. The photos were taken with 5 different peoples cameras and none of the cameras were set to the same time. I would like to change the times on the photos data so that the photos will sort correctly for easy comparison. (often, all 5 people were shooting the same thing at almost the same time...) I can change the times individually in iPhoto, but that's a lot of work. 3 of the cameras are off by whole hour incriments (due to time zone varitations).
Is there a way to: select a group of photos in iPhoto, add/ subtract to the hour taken (but leave the minutes and seconds alone)?
thanks in advance for any help

I emailed this question to a friend, he told me automator is "overkill" (his words) for this situation as a script will do the job. He also sent this link: http://www.joemaller.com/iphoto/
It seems to work just fine, in case anyone has the same need.

Arranging groups of photos in aperture 2.1 browser

Hi, I'm having trouble reordering groups of photos. According to the getting started manual (page 75) you can select a group of photos in the aperture browser, and drag them within the browser to change the order of the photos. Doing that with individual photos works but when I try with more than one I never get the green bar that lets me drop the photos into the new location. Am I missing something? Clues? Thanks!

Hi, Peter
It works. Select the photos regardless of order and click on the first photo and drag to the new location. The sort order will change to "Custom" and Aperture will remember the new order regardless if you later decide to sort by date...

Rename group of photos?

Is there a way to rename a group of photos, so they all have a new name, or is the only way to do it, piecemeal, one photo at a time? Thank you.

Select those you want to rename and use the Photos->Batch Change menu option. There you can select Title to text and put in what you want and have them sequentially numbered after the text.

Can I change the order of photos in Events

I am in the process of scanning my old film photos so that I can put them into iPhoto. As I have no scanner I take them to Wal Mart and scan them onto a CD then import them into iPhoto at home. Because the CD holds the photos from a number of events I then distribute them to a number of different Event folders.
Once I get all the photos into their correct Event folders I would like to rearrange their order. Using drag and drop, or cut and paste, simply leaves the photo in it's original location. If I use the 'Moving photos from one event to another' feature the moved photos will still go into the new Event folder in the same order as they were in the originating folder, regardless of what order I drag or paste them.
The help menu has topics on how to change the order of photos in a slideshow, book or calender, but not an event. I could arrange the photos beforehand so that they are scanned in the order in which I want them to appear in Events, but with 500+ photos in completely random order it will be fairly time consuming. It also will not help with the disc of photos I have already made.
So, to finally get to my question, does anybody know if there is a way to rearrange the order of photos within an Event folder?
Rgds

Events are strictly time based. If you put those photos in an album and in the order you want, you can set their date and time by using the PHotos->Batch Change->Date and set the date and time you want with the checkbox to add the time differential you'd like between photos. That will reorder them in the Event also.

How do i change my iCloud account on my iPhone? I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.
