Dragging AVI video clip from iPhoto to mail to send

I want to send a 2 minute video clip to some familly members, but mail keeps quitting when I hit send.

252.4MB is way too much for an email... the maximum capacity of an email should be around 10MB (20 at most). You should consider another way to send your file... (thumb drive?)
Another option is to use Quicktime Pro to re-encode the movie in a lighter file.

I am having trouble dragging a video clip from iPhoto to iMovie.

I am having trouble dragging a dropping a video clip from IPhoto to IMovie. Has anyone done this? Is this even possible?

I had this problem too, and I don't think it is possible; I'm pretty sure the only videos you can put on iMovie are ones you record with the built in camera on the computer, or a video camera.

How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
What do I need to do?
Thanks!

Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately? If so then here's how:
1 - open iDVD and select your theme.
2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left.
Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos. Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

How do i import video clips from iphoto to iMovie

how do i import video clips from iPhoto to iMovie

I've found dragging & dropping onto desktop & then drag & drop into iMovie works okay

I don't want to import video clips from iPhoto!

iMovie automatically imports video clips from iPhoto, and I don't need or want this to be done. I don't want to delete or move those clips from iPhoto, so is there a way to prevent the automatic transfer?

Go to your Hotmail account on the web (NOT in mail), make a new folder (or folders) for the mail you want to keep and move the messages into it.
Mail (and all other email clients) will download all messages in the inbox unless previously downloaded. That means downloaded with the client you are attaching now.
Until that is done do not setup the account in mail.

Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

How can I export trimmed video clips from iPhoto?

I have video clips from a kid's sporting event that I need to send to other parents on the team. I've got 73 clips that have been loaded from an SD card, and I've trimmed the length on about half of them.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to export them from iPhoto. When I select 'Original', I get the full-size files, but they're not trimmed. I can drag and drop the clips from iPhoto to a folder, and I do get files that are trimmed correctly, but they're very small (around 12K), so I'm guessing that they link to files on my own hard drive, and won't work if I send them to somebody else.
I am guessing that I could fix the problem manually by making a list of videos that I trimmed, opening each one of the 12K files files in QT Player, and saving that movie. This creates a full-size movie file which is the right file size for the trimmed portion. However, I'd like to be able to do all of this in a single batch operation. Is there a solution for this?

You can't. Trimming inside iPhoto stays inside iPhoto. (Does that have a familiar ring to it?) All trimming must be done outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player. So export the clips to a folder on the Desktop and do the trimming there.

Export a short clip from FCE to mail and send as Email attachment

I have been trying to export short clips from FCE to mail. I have been getting as far as saving it as an attachment to an Email.
I have not been able to successfully deliver it to somebody. Is that a problem with my server or are my settings or the format I am using to send it incorrect ? What are the best and safest settings to choose from so the email goes through ?
I have send video clips directly from Quicktime files. Its working well and fast with no delivery problems. What am I doing wrong with FCE exports to mail ?

well it may not be how your exportinging it. what you need to find out is how big of a file will you service provider let you send. your file may be over the limit, so all you need to do is compress it even smaller. when i send a clip i don't use the mail setting i just compress it my self as small as i can. my provider will only let me send up to 10Mb files only.

IPhoto will not import video clips from iPhoto

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer. I opened iPhoto to import the photos from my camera role. It imported the photos just fine up said "The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." It is all the video files I took with my iPhone. Never had this problem before. I recently switched macs from my desktop to a new iMac. I was having problems with iphoto not liking the video I previously had in iPhoto.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few videos into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

I DRAG AND DROP A VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EVENT BROWSER THAT IS 7.9 SECONDS INTO MY IMOVIE I'VE STARTED AND IT CHANGES IN THE PROJECT TO 4.9 SECONDS - HOW CAN I KEEP THE LENGTH THE SAME

I drag a video clip from Event to Project into my imovie I've started. The video clip length changes from 7.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds. How can I stop that length from being changed?

If you are using transitions either side of the clip they will use some of the clip to generate the effect, there isn't anything you can do unless you remove or shorten the transition.
If you aren't using transitions it may be that you are only selecting part of the clip in the event window, try dragging out the yellow frame to include all the video you want in the project.

Drag & Drop Video Clips

If I'm in Lightroom, and want to drag a video clip into Premiere, it seems I have to right-click to View in Explorer and drag it from there.
Why can't I drag a video clip from one Adobe product to another?

I don't think .avi files are compatible with iTunes. You're on the right path with finding some way to convert them. I'm not familiar enough with the program you're using to be of any help with it, however. Hit up google and do research and experiment with what works best for you

Can't send more than 1 photo from iPhoto to Mail since upgraded to Leopard

Hi there,
I'm using an older version of iPhoto (4.0.3). We recently upgraded to Leopard, and ever since then, we haven't been able to use the Email icon in iPhoto to attach photos in Mail. It prepares to send all the photos, but only attaches one to a message, and then I get an error message saying, "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id (a long number). Invalid index."
Does anybody have any idea as to what's going on here? It's very frustrating!!!
Thanks in advance for your help!

With the current software combination you are using, there IS actually this need -- your post (and others) here give evidence that it does not work otherwise. Your choices would seem to be -- in descending order of complexity -- a) revert to OS X 10.4, b) install a newer version of iPhoto, or c) take the extra step of exporting.
Alternatively, have you tried preparing a new message first, then just dragging the selected images directly from iPhoto to your message?
Um, you seem to be contradicting yourself, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
As I already said, I DON'T NEED to take the extra step of exporting the photos into a folder, as I AM selecting and dragging the images directly from iPhoto into Mail.
