Do not see my ohotos from Iphotos in Imovies

Hi,
I do not see the latest photos stored in IPhotos from the window in Imovies. If I create an album, I see the album, but not the photos within the album. How should I proceed ?

That is correct.

If you want them on your computer, you will have to transfer them from your ipad.

ITunes does not see new Event from iPhoto

I imported photos from Halloween into iPhoto on my iMac with the intention of displaying them on my AppleTV. In the iTunes - AppleTV - Photos sync page (that displays Photos, Events, Faces) all but the most recent Events are present. I tried "Last Import" and even combined the photos with another Event that was already synced with the AppleTV but the photos did not show up (nor did the number of photos in the combined event increase). I am stumped.
I have deleted the com.apple.iPhoto.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist files, but there was no improvement. I have updated all versions of the programs and rebooted the computer and AppleTV. Still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've figured out why it's not working, just not sure the absolute correct way to fix it. The albumdata.xml file is wrong. When I moved from /users/michael/iphoto to /volumes/data/iphoto, only 400 of the pictures metadata changed. Most of them stayed as /users/michael/iphoto in the albumdata.xml file. To "change" them in the .xml, (I wouldn't call it a fix) is I selected all the pictures and did a batch change of Title to Filename. That worked for me, because my pictures titles were the filenames, but if you rename the titles, you might have to find another way. Directly modifing the albumdata.xml file won't work. It's overwritten each time. This link helped me figure the problem out.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one). The others events disapear!!

I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one) and the last import that I made in iphoto is the first one . The others events disapear!! What can be happen? Please, someone could help me?

I tried to do shift + alt + command - option
That's not what I suggested...
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto.
Restore from your back up is the easiest solution.

Trying to import pics from iphoto to imovie- can't import the PSE modified pictures. I see them in iphoto.

Trying to import pics from iphoto to imovie- can't import the PSE modified pictures. I see them in iphoto however they don't appear in the thumbnails in imovie.

Drag the PSE modified pictures from iPhoto to the Desktop. Open them in Preview then save as jpegs (File > Export - then choose Format JPEG). They may already be .jpg files, but are not readable by iMovie. Exporting them from Preview may fix this. Import the saved files to iPhoto - they should now work in iMovie.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie. The two hour wait to view all in iMovie puts the kibosh on my edit time.

How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie? The two + hour wait for thumb nails and hour long wait looking for the right videos kills the time I have to edit.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Loss of quality of photos when importing from iphoto to imovie

A question... When I import high resolution photos from iphoto and look at the preview on imovie HD, the quality is the same great quality that I can see on iphoto. Once I import the photo clip onto imovie, however, the quality is very poor on the imovie playback. This drop in quality is regardless of whether Ken Burns effect is used or not.
I already checked the quality on imovie preferences and it is already selected as the highest quality (default setting)
Any clues as to why the photo image quality should drop to such a poor image when importing a photo from iphoto to imovie?

Hi L
There are a great difference on photos shown on a Mac with eg. iPhoto or
PhotoShop and what's going to video.
a. Different resolution. Just the number of lines as the selected type of project
eg: PAL 4x3 = 625 lines ≈ same in pixles (But square not elongated or visa versa)
b. iMovie "Viewer" is just an approximation. I connected my miniDV Camera
to FW and analog to a TV. Select in pref - Play back via Camera. Now I see
the final quality on my TV. Usally much better.

I can't get my movies from iphoto to imovie

I am very new to mac. I just got my first mac a month ago. I am trying really hard to make a movie. I can get pictures from iphoto onto imovie no problem. But I can't get movies. I can see my movies and play them on iphoto, but when I bring up things to import only photos show up. Somehow by accident I imported 8 videos straight from my camera into imovie and they work just fine..once they get in there. On the tutorial videos it says that imovie will automatically ask if you want to import videos straight from your camera onto imovie. Mine has never done this. I don't know. I have been watching tutorial videos and messing with this thing for 2 weeks and I can't seem to make a movie with any movie clips!! I can make one just fine if I only want to use pictures. I am just so frustrated!! One of the main reasons I got a mac was so I could make better videos for youtube.

It stuck the new clip into documents and so how do I get it into imovie now?
If you don't want the file placed there, next time change the target location before pressing the "Make" button. Appleman has given you one easy method. Another would be to simply drag the file from the "Documents" folder and drop it to any Event name in your Event Library list. Another method would be to create a new folder, name it, put the file in the named folder and place the folder into any convenient "iMovie Events" folder already in use. The next time you open iMovie, the new "Event" folder name will show up in the Event Library list. Be advised however, that movie clips cannot be dropped directly to either a Project window (like music or photos) or an Event window.
I am so frustrated with this thing!! I just bought this new ilife disk thing because it was supposed to make it easier to make movies or something. I haven't found the 'easier' part yet. ugh.
Multiplexed MPEG formats (MPG, MPeG, VOB, MOD, MTS, M2TS, etc.) cannot be edited at the frame level. They must be converted. You can either convert them yourself or try to get iMovie '09 to convert them as part of an "Import from Camera/Archive" process. Some individual have reported the iMovie '09 will convert multiplexed MPEG-1 files, as well as, MPEG-2 files. You can always search the forum and see if you can duplicate their work flow. I usually recommend MPEG Streamclip since it is 100% effective assuming the source file is not corrupted (i.e., improperly terminated and track descriptions are in tact.) It also has the ability to "fix" timecode breaks which can occur when segments are merged. While PC platforms ignore such things, QT does not since it uses temporal synchronization rather than spatial synchronizations.

Copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie?? Please help!

Is it possible to copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie? I can't find a way to select/copy more than one.

OK you can leave them in iPhoto and access them from the iMovie Event for iPhoto.
If you prefer to move them to a regular iMovie Event, you can do the following.
1) right-click on one of the iPhoto clips and select "Reveal in Finder". This will open a finder window showing the clips in the iPhoto Library.
2) In a different Finder window, create a folder to hold your event in iMovie. If you are using an internal drive, create a folder using your desired Event Name under the Movies/iMovie Events Folder.
Note: If you are using an external drive, create a Folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the external drive. Then create the (Event Name) folder under this. The external drive must be formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled) for this to work.
3) Select all the clips in the iPhoto finder window that are part of this event and Move them to the Movies/iMovie Event/(Event Name) folder.
4) After you have done this for all the Events, open iMovie and let it generate thumbnails. This may take a while.

How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
Thanks for any suggestions

OK, according to
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

How do I get pictures in an album from Iphoto to Imovie ?

I was at the Apple store and the salesclerk showed me quickly how she could take pics from Iphoto and then suddenly they were in Imovie and she created a movie. I try it and am doing something wrong, because it isn't working. Help, please. When I look at the tutorial, I see how to import a movie from a camera, but I want to go from Iphoto to Imovie. Help is appreciated.

That's because you're getting caught by the TV overscan issue. In iDVD create a slideshow using the "+" button at the bottom
Click to view full size
and then drag your QT movie file into the slideshow. In iDVD'd advanced preferences select the option to Scale photos to TV safe area.
Click to view full size
Then when you're ready to burn save the project as a disk image via the File->Save as Disk Image menu option. This separates the encoding process from the burning process. Mount the disk image on the desktop and play it with DVD Player. If all plays OK the encoding was OK.
Then durn to disc with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Photos imported from iPhoto to iMovie turn a bright red hue.

When I attempt to import photos directly from iPhoto into iMovie, both with and without the Ken Burns effect, the photos all wind up washed out and tinted red. I've looked for some sort of setting I could change to avoid this, but haven't been able to find it, and I've installed all the most recent updates. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Better still, does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks for your interest.
I had scanned in monstrous TIFF images -- these were the ones that would turn to red tint when I applied Ken Burns effect.
I created an action in Photoshop to flatten layers and save to JPEG, then ran an automated batch on all the TIFF images to create JPEGs.
I imported the JPEGs into the iPhoto library, then into my old iMovie. These new JPEGs don't turn red with the KB effect. I then emptied the iMovie trash to reduce the size of the movie, and then could no longer apply the KB effect to any of the clips in the timeline (only on clips not yet moved into the timeline). I tried restarting iMovie, but that did not help.
So I created a new movie from scratch and that seems to be working just fine. I feel like iMovie is such a waste of my time. I spent about 10 hours on my movie up to this point where I can be productive.
I notice some of the images have scratches I'd like to fix in Photoshop. What's the recommended way to do that? Can I keep effects or transitions and just re-apply them to an edited photo?
