Delete iphoto thumbnails from imovie

Hi,
I am using imovie for the first time and when it launched, it prompted if I wanna import movies from iphoto. And I clicked now, and it generated thumbnails for all the videos in iphoto. How do I delete these? I want to remove the link between iphoto movies and imovie, as from my understanding, everytime I would open imovie, it would try to link and update the thumbnails. Further I have lots of videos in iphoto. I am not sure if I am duplicating them and consuming my HD space. Please help.
PS : In iphoto, 'copy items to iphoto library' is unchecked.
Thanks

iMovie will not delete anything in iPhoto.

When you delete iPhotos videos from iMovie...

is that deleted from the iPhoto as well? (I hope there isn't a copy in both iMovie and iPhoto)

As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

How to delete iphoto movies in imovie

Hello,
I imported all of my iphoto movies into imovie and now I can not figure out how to delete them from the imovie event library. The import used 8GB of memory and I need the space. I searched the forums but I can't figure it out. All help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello All,
I found out what happened. For some unknown reason, when I imported the movie clips into imovie they were copied within the iphoto folders. Before the import they were just in the Originals folder. After the import they were located in both the Data and Originals folder in the iphoto path. I was speaking to an Apple Care rep when we found them. At first he was sure that imovie would not copy thm and asked me why I thought that my disk space had been reduced by 8GB. I knew because I watched my free space dwindle during the two hour import and noted the space available before and after the import. He said that this was very odd and imovie should not have not have copied the files and he will report it to Apple. Thanks,

Deleting iphoto clips in imovie

In Imovie, I can see and edit my iphoto videos. If i delete these iphoto clips within imove, are they deleted completely or do they remain in iphoto? Thanks so much for your help.

Thank you SO MUCH. That will explain why, when I have copied an iphoto clip (within imovie) to an imovie event and then deleted the iphoto clip (within imovie), suddenly my hard drive filled up to capacity. So it sounds like I need to go to iphoto and delete that clip, in order to save space. This leads me to 2 further questions:
1 - If i have copied the iphoto clip into an imovie event, will it remain in my imovie event if I delete it from iphoto? I don't want to lose these clips, I just want to tidy up my video clips and would rather keep them in imovie events than iphoto, if thats possible.
2 - If I delete the clip from iphoto but have used some bits of it in an imovie project - will it delete only the unused sections of that clip and where will it store the used clips if I delete the source clip in iphoto?
Hope these questions make sense and cannot thank you enough for helping me.

Re-import a deleted iPhoto video to iMovie??

Hi,
I've posted here before about discrepancies in the date and times of some iPhoto Video as shown in the iPhoto Video library of iMovie '09.
I've manually changed the dates in iMovie of some video and this corrects the issue. However, there are far too many clips to do them all manually.
Also, while attempting to find the cause of the incorrect dates I deleted an iPhoto Video from the iMovie library. iMovie has scanned iPhoto for new video several times, but does not re-import the clip.
Can anybody tell me how I can re-import that clip to iMovie?
How can I correct the dates of the other video?
I thought of deleting all the iPhoto videos in iMovie and when I restart iMovie it would scan for them again, but I am worried that it will not import them again, like that clip I mentioned.
Can anybody help?

Everyone,
Thanks so much for contributing to this topic and making effort to answer my questions. I called Apple to inquire about this and I have a couple of suggestions that were given to me that may be of some help.
Two solutions were given to me:
1) As QuickTimeKirk stated earlier, .mov or .(whatever else might go here) is only a container for other files. So .mov is not the problem or the unreadable file for Imovie, but whatever other file that may be contained in the .mov container is the problem. Therefore, you may have to obtain a 3rd pary converter. They suggested something like flipformac or quicktime pro. I don't know how hard or easy it may be to work with a converter and I am somewhat on a schedule so I opted for option #2.
2)Download Imovie HD 6 for free, create your project therein, and then export it to Imovie 8 if you wish. Imovie 8 has a tutorial on how to do this if necessary. To download Imovie HD 6 visit http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html.
I hope this helps and thanks again!

Where are deleted iPhoto albums from facebook on a Mac?

I uploaded 4 pics from my cousin Mac onto my facebok account, whyle doing so I sinc my fc account to iPhoto, all was just fine up to when my cousin deleted my albums from iPhoto deleting this way all of my 93 albums on facebook too. Would anybody know if my albums are recoverable from somewhere on his Mac, he had a look but only found the covers i.e. one pic for each album?

Problem solved.
I played with it some more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable to the AppleScript script that was the problem. I was using "on run argv", which I read on some site earlier today as being how AppleScript handles arguments that are passed to it. More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses an array pre-defined as "arguments" whenever AppleScript passes a variable to it. So, on a lark, I decided to try using "arguments" the other way 'round (I also had to add an extra set of quote marks on the "do script" line because AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them:
set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
end tell
And that did it! I can now pass a variable all the way from the top-level JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign code to the bottom-level JavaScript Acrobat code! YAY!

How to remove multiple iphoto images from imovie timeline?

When I import still photos into imovie from iphoto, and drop them on the timeline in imovie, instead of a single picture appearing I get multiple copies of the same photo. Can anyone suggest a cure or workaround?

If you are draggin straight out of iPhoto into the iMovie window, I don't know what kind of reaction you will get out of iMovie. If you use the Photo Browser tool in the iMovie Toolbar, it should let you do multiple selections and still drag them to the timeline (hold down ⌘ Command key and select individually or hold down Shift and select a range).

Deleting iPhoto events in iMovie

I do want to delete my iPhoto events / movies from the list in iMovie. For some reason I can only delete events / clips that were imported other than from iPhoto.
Does anyone know how to get rid of them? I checked the filestructure to possibly delete manually, but I cannot pinpoint files in either the iPhoto package (which increased tremondously after the initial import) or other places were these thumbnail files etc. are storted.
Anyone got a hint how to go about?
Note: I am aware that getting into the files manually poses a risk and I do keep backups to restore... in case. So risky hints are also welcome

I am also puzzled by this loss of disk space when iMovie imports iPhoto for the first time. Would also like to reclaim that space back.
Here may be the solution: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9415197&#9415197
Not sure if it would work to delete the movies in the data folder in iPhoto.

How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10. It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well), And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer. This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually. Yeegads! All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive. My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways. It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event. I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

No iTunes or iPhoto access from iMovie

I am using Mac OS X 10.4.11 with iLife 08 on a 2 1/2 year old Macbook.
I created a few projects in iMovie last summer for the kids ( great fun ). 2 days ago I started iMovie up again. One of the kids and I descided to change a piece of music from a project. After that I were not able to open either iTunes nor iPhoto via the small icons. I tried a lot. No joy.
I got all the latest updates. Still no joy. When I used my wifes Macbook to do the same there where no problems. ?????
Anyone got an idea of whats wrong I would be happy to hear from you.
All the best from Denmark :-))

Hi stro1rob,
Can you please verify the LED's on the front panel of the chassis when you have the controller powered on?
The POWER OK LED indicates the power status of the controller and will either be ON and steady, blinking, or OFF. The DRIVE LED indicates when an access to the internal hard disk is occurring.
Try hooking up another DVI monitor (that is known to work) to your chassis. There could be a number of things going on right now, so we should try isolating the problem. I'm assuming that you are also connected to your network via the Ethernet port, so I would try connecting again with another cable.
Here is a KB that discusses a BIOS issue that can cause your video output to disappear, but since you have mentioned that your setup originally worked, I doubt this is the case, but it might still be worth looking at.
If the above mentioned things do not work out, you would probably need to get your controller RMA'ed. To do so, please call into NI Support.

Can't delete iphoto images from hard drive

I transferred my iphoto library onto my external hard drive in order to save some space. When I moved the existing library of images to trash in iphoto it deleted it from iphoto but didn't free up any space on my hard drive. I have tried to find these images but have had no joy at all. any advice would be much appreciated.
I have iphoto '09 and version 8.1.2 (424)

You sure you don't have more than one Library?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

DELETED iPHOTO COMPLETELY FROM MY MAC....HOW DO I RESTORE?

NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RESTORE iPHOTO, IT WAS DELETED BY ACCIDENT AND ALL MY PHOTOS WERE SAVED TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT CANT VIEW THEM, WERE OR HOW DO I RESTORE IT? PLEASE SOME ONE HELP.

Paul
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
1 - please do not type in all caps - it is considered yelling - and it is very hard to read
2 - iPhoto is on the system restore disks that came with your computer or the iLife upgrade you purchased - delete the iPhoto receipts ("your hard drive" ==> library --> receipts ==> delete all receipts containing iPhoto) and install from your restore disks (custom install bundled software only) or your iLife upgrade if you purchased one.
