Deleted 1tb of videos / No change in library size

Because my photos library will be too large to sync with iCloud, I elected to migrate the videos to iMovie in order to free up space. I thought this was a pretty ingenious way to shrink the library size since iMovie is better at managing this kind of content anyway.
Here is what I did.
1) Exported unmodified originals from photos into a folder.
2) Imported that folder into iMovie and made sure all the videos were accounted for.
3) Deleted all the exported videos from Photos
4) Selected "show recently deleted" and forced the immediate deletion of all these files by clicking "delete all"
5) Despite deleting what amounts to 980GB of videos from the library, the file size of the library remains the same at 1.68TB and iCloud still sees the library as too big to sync with.
I understand this might be the case if you don't force the files to immediately delete... but I can't imagine why I'm not seeing a file size difference now. Not only that, it's been about two hours since I did the deletion - so the chances of the delay being due to background file work is diminishing.
Anyone else dealt with this?

You import "Managed", if the Preference "Importing" is set to "Copy items to the Photos Library".
If this option is disabled, any video or photo you are importing will only be referenced outside the library and is not included.
iPhoto has a similar option, and if you migrated an iPhoto Library with referenced media, they will remain referenced in Photos.
Did you migrate an iPhoto Library, and does this library still exist on the same drive?

How do I change the aspect ratio of source video in the event library?

I’ve imported video to iMovie 08 from a Canon Mini DV MD235 video camera. The video is recorded in widescreen format and plays back in widescreen when viewed from the iMovie event library (prior to doing any video editing). However, when I delete rejected frames from any particular video clip in the event library the video clip is automatically pillarboxed (i.e. switched from widescreen to 4:3 format). This squashes the video horizontally, stretches it vertically and leaves vertical black bars to the left and right of the video during playback. This automatic change in aspect ratio is occurring to the source video in the event library.
I’d be grateful for any help / advice on how I can convert the edited clips back to widescreen aspect ratio, so they display in the *event library* as they did when first imported into iMovie.

I don’t really want to clog up my hard drive with unwanted video and it’s easier to edit it from within iMovie.
Have you considered manually importing only portions of the clips you actually plan to use? Or, if you must import the entire clip, have you considered trimming externally in an application like MPEG Streamclip which will allow you to set frame level in/out points and then perform a "Save As..." operation that stores the select range of frames to an MOV file container retaining the proper flag?
Is there anything I can do from within iMovie to activate the 16:9 setting for these as yet unedited clips, so the same pillarboxing doesn’t happen?
Not sure what you mean by "unedited" here. If the files have been destructively split, the flag is gone and there is nothing you can do about it but re-compress. If you mean they are imported but as of yet whole and still contain their flags, then you have two options. The first is to edit non-destrctively within iMovie '08 and the second would be to do the trimming externally.
This second option is really fairly simple. Just close iMovie '08. Open MPEG Streamclip and load a clip you want to trim. Set your in and pout points, select the "Save As..." option, and store the files in the original Events folder with a new name. I would also recommend you perform these trims in their original time sequence so the "creation" date time groups (Finder attributes) are in time order also. When done with the loaded clip either delete it from the "Event" folder or move it to an archival location. When done with the last clip, close MPEG Streamclip, delete the Cache and Thumbnail folders from the Event folder, open iMovie '08 again, and go get a cup of coffee or tea while the files are re-thumbnailing. DO NOT DO THIS TO ANY EVENT WHICH CONTAINS FILES ALREADY USED IN ANY PROJECT. (I.e., this must be done before you start the actual project editing process.)
It seems odd to me that iMovie is doing this.
I suspect that as the application was originally written as an NLE, non-destructive, "by reference" application, the writers/updaters "overlooked" this facet when adding a "destructive" routine and did not provide for checks of this flag nor provide for copying it re-written segments.

I can't syncronize my library and my new device. I deleted old one but nothing change.I can't only add sth in library when my device connected.

I was using iPod touch before and I bougth new iPhone 5S.I change my apple id.Now I can't syncronize my library and my new device. I deleted old one but nothing change.I can't only add music,videos etc in library when my device connected.I tried to delete iTunes and set up again but it doesn't work. It's really hard to using like this. I always add new things at iTunes when my device doesn't connected. Please help me

You reinstalled an old version of iPhoto after you updated your library to the newer version.
Update ALL your software and try again.
Click the Apple Menu at the upper left-hand corner of your screen and select "Software Update..."
Repeat until it tells you there are no more updates.
AND, launch the App Store application located in your Applications folder to see if there are any updates there as well.

How do I delete videos from my photo library on Iphone 4s?

How do I delete videos from my photo library on my Iphone 4s?

Uncle-George wrote:
If so, to remove the videos from the iPhone, I would set up sync to only sync pictures and videos checked. At that point, the iPhone would no longer have the videos on the new sync, but the iMac would still retain the videos. Sound close?
If it turns out that the movies are syncing from your iMac to your iPhone through iTunes, then I would think it is just a matter of changing your sync selection to remove the video(s) from your iPhone.
However, you may find that you may need to change your sync settings to not sync any photo/video content, perform a sync, then select a different source of photos to sync (optionally of course).
I'm new to Mac so I can't say for sure if it is what I'm used to, but on my PC if I wanted to remove photos or videos that I had synced to my iPhone through iTunes I had to first sync no photo/video to remove them, then either sync to a different folder or move the undesired items out of the folder I was syncing to.
But I no longer sync photo/video through iTunes, and have changed to a Mac Air so things may be different. But the key is whether or not these undesired movies are actually synced to your iPhone through iTunes (sounds like they are).

I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library. I have tried everything possible to delete them. I still want to keep them in iPhoto however. What can I do?

I inadvertently imported all of my iPhoto videos to my iMovie library. I have been unable to delete them. How can I delete them from the iMovie library without deleting them fro iPhoto?

Did you import them into an Event Folder? Or are they still just showin up under the iPhoto Videos folder? Anything inside of the iPhoto Videos folder cannot be deleted, because it is under the full control and jurisdiction of iPhoto and is merely 'shared' from iPhoto and made visible to iMovie. Everything else can first be deleted, then moved to the Trash. To find the items that have been marked for deletion under iMovie '11 go to the pull-down tab at the bottom of the iMovie window frame labeled Show: and choose 'Rejected Only'. Then when you see all the clips with red stripes on them Select All (⌘ Command key + a). Then click on the button labeled Move rejected to Trash.

Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Video 1"...

"Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Video 1" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod."
Never had this problem before. I just updated iTunes and there was no change. All videos are in .mov format. I've tried .mp4 as well with no change.
I've deleted them from the library and tried putting them back in several times. Anyone have any help for me?

Hi!
I've been following the 5G iPod threads and playing around with video files for the past week while waiting for the iPod to arrive. It's now here. I somehow managed to rip a full-length DVD, demux the AC3 audio and convert it to AAC, put the movie back together, and load it into the iPod (don't ask... I don't think I could explain it...). However, the slideshow (with music) I made in iMovie (with input only from iPhoto and iTunes) which I "shared" to QuickTime (pro) using the expert settings and the default option to convert for iPod failed to load to the iPod!
Hmmm... strange that using five, third-party programs/hacks got me a full length feature film, but my Apple programs with built-in support used in the default mode for iPod failed to convert a simple three-minute iMovie slideshow. I tried two of them, neither worked...

How to change the default library size...

I have a PowerMac G4 with 1.25ghz and 1.25gig memory. I also have about 7500 photos, a total of about 10 gig, with about 1/3 taken with a Nikon D70. As you might guess, iPhoto (and only iPhoto) is really slow to open and close...I get the beachball for a minute or so before anything happens.
In reading topics surrounding the slowness of loading/closing iPhoto, one person suggested changing the default size of the iPhoto library...but they didn't say how? I'm assuming that this changes it so that the system doesn't need to show the whole library? This isn't just viewing the pictures as large pictures instead of thumbnails is it?
Any help would be appreciated....also, if there is another solution I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks,
Tom

Thomas:
As you've read the problem comes from your Nikon camera and the MakerNotes it creates and adds to each image file. I believe you're referring to splitting up your library into smaller sub libraries. That can be done by making a duplicate of your current library, call it Lib1. Then open Lib1 with iPhoto and delete all the photos but those you want in that particular library. Make another duplicate of the original library, Lib2, and repeat the process. That way you'll have multiple smaller libraries that you can manage with either iPhoto Buddy or iPhoto Library Manager.
Eric Lindsay developed applescripts to remove the MakerNote information from the Library.iPhoto file which gets the speed back up to what it should be. However, any new imports from the Nikon will add MakerNotes.

Error coming up states " warning some of the videos in your iTunes library including video "Dora" were copied to the iPad "ellen's iPad " because they cannot be played on this

I purchased tv shows for my son over 4th of July weekend from iTunes on my iPad...he has been watching with no problem...yesterday I backed up my iPad and the videos were taken off while I was syncing it. Error coming up states " warning some of the videos in your iTunes library including video "Dora" were not copied to the iPad "ellen's iPad " because they cannot be played on this iPad was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPad.....makes no sense since he watched the video on Friday on my iPad...I went into the properties of the video and under the summary tab states kind of video is mpeg-4video file...went into the folder on my pc and the file is listed as a m4v file...under the tab tv shows when my iPad is connected I have it checked to sync tv shows and to automatically include "all" episodes of "all shows" ....

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

Can you change your library back after reverting to 6.5 from 7

I was "forced" to upgrade to itunes 7 with a "new" purchase. All of my songs are garbled/distorted. I use a custom built PC for "recording only", and am finding this annoying especially since my UAD soundcards for
Nuendo work best with Quicktime (6.5) not QT 7 that you "have" to have to run the new itunes. So I downloaded the older "green" version and unistalled the "blue" 7 version. Looks great...though my library is still "blue" and cannot be played or recognized by my old "working" version. Anyone have a clue as to how to go about changing your library for recognition purposes?
I have a session tomorrow and am hoping to get this resolved before the day ends. Any help would be Christams to me. I want to hear my songs...and I want my old green itunes back...is my library forever locked in the "new" version?
This is the error I get: The title "itunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was vreated by a newer version of itunes.

There never were any xml files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder, only the itl file is needed.
===
If you can't find a back up .itl file in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder don't worry there is another way.
So if you are giving up on the old v6 library, assuming you already copied the two library files to another folder, delete iTunes Liibrary.itl, then open iTunes.
iTunes should open and create an empty library, before you do anything else with your library, select Add Folder To Library and navigate to the folder where you saved iTunes Music Library.xml and import it.
This Apple article describes the process, but of course, you may not have save the xml file on the desk top.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
I hope that this will work across iTunes versions as the xml file is intended for use by other programs, but I haven't seen anyone do this going back from 7 to 6.

How can I delete the iPhoto Video Thumbnails in iMovie?

It's been a while since I've used iMovie, and when I opened the application tonight, I got the following message:
"iMovie needs to generate thumbnails for the videos in your iPhoto library. This process may take several minutes.
You can postpone this operation by clicking Later, but your iPhoto videos will be unavailable until the next time you restart iMovie."
I accidentally hit NOW, and the process began. When I realized it had used about 5 GBs of space, I force quit iMovie, but the disk space was not reclaimed. I need this space back now... I can import the iPhoto videos later. How can I undo the generated iPhoto video thumbnails? There was no project generated, and so no folder with the thumbnails in them. Where are they located? I would like to delete the iPhoto video thumbnails within iMovie, but preserve the thumbnails for other projects. And of course I would like to be sure that I keep the videos themselves in iPhoto - I definitely do not want to lose the videos there. Thanks for your help.

The latest incarnation of iMovie doesn't offer the 'Export with Quicktime'-options, the previous versions did.

How can i get a full url of video uploaded in asset library on sharepoint 2013

Hi All,
I have videos in SharePoint 2013 Asset Library, now i want display that videos in my SharePoint webpage as a webpart.
Now, how can i get a full url of video uploaded in asset library?
Thanks in Advance!

The Asset library does a pretty good job of hiding the full URL. An "asset" item is actually a folder. The folder contains the video and support files like preview thumbnails.
So, if you upload a video named butterfly.wmv to http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets the path to the video would be http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets/butterfly/butterfly.wmv. If the user changed the name while uploading the file to "Pretty bugs"
the URL would then be http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets/Pretty%20Bugs/butterfly.wmv.
Probably the best way to explore these hidden folders and discover the "real" URL is to use SharePoint Designer 2013.
Launch SharePoint Designer and open your site.
In the Navigation area click "All Files". (If you don't see All Files then your administrators may have partially locked down SPD.)
In the list of files and folders click the Assets library.
Find and click your video (you will see the "Name" as entered in the file's properties, not the file name.)
Find the video file, right-click it and click Properties.
Copy the Location.
If you just want to display the video in the page:
Edit the page
Click INSERT
Click Web Part
From the Media and Content category select Media Web Part and click Add.
Edit the web part (click the web part's dropdown)
From the MEDIA ribbon click Change Media
Click From SharePoint and navigate to your assets library and pick a video

Delete and replace video in iweb

I have iWeb 3.0.4 (iWeb '11 I think). I want to delete a YouTube video on my video page and replace with another YouTube video, or simply call up the YT widget and change the URL address to the video I want. I can't seem to delete the old video and when I drag over the widget to the video and type in the new URL it simply overlays my new video on top of the old one so I have 2 videos in that spot. Is there a relatively simple solution to make this replacement of one video with another?

First click on the existing video and use the Delete key. Then add the new HTML snippet with the YouTube embed code.

How cat I speed up video "Share" from iMovie library in to .mov file?

How cat I speed up video "Share" from iMovie library in to .mov file?

I have 1250 songs, a few videos in my ITunes library. I tried to synch with my IPhone 3g last night but it said my library is too big. Is that true?

I have about 1250 songs and a few music videos in my ITunes library. Last night I tried to synch with my IPhone 3G but I got a message that my library is too big to synch it all. Is that true? How many songs can fit on an IPhone 3G. Thanks for any help.

Look down at the bottom of your Itunes player and check the total size of your library. If the gigs are more than what your iphone will hold that error message will pop up. My suspicion is it that you have some very large video files and those take up a lot of space. To get more room, delete some of those video files and covert your music files to 128, if larger. Then resync your iphone. Also if you are using .wav files, covert those to mp3 @ 128
