EXPORT FEATURE IPHOTO-Video Files in "Event" are exported as an empty file!!!

Ok...this is devastating! Lets say you have selected an event containing 10 photos and 2 videos...you then choose to export the entire event via FILE>Export...
When you are prompt to choose the file types, location, and quality you make your desired choices and off you go...at first glance in the newly created folder that you have designated on another drive or folder 10 photos and 2 videos show up....PLAY the videos and they are 1 second long instead of their original length...
If you hand't played the video you would assume that everything worked perfectly and you could then then delete the event and master files from your computer to acquire more space, but this would essentially cause you to loose the true video in its entirety and could be devastating!
I think this feature needs revision!

Download and use Find Any File to search for the file name and extension of the video. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders and packages.
You may find several items with the same name so check their size. Note where the larger file resides.

I deleted my events in iPhoto Help? The "events" are not in the trash. I did download stellar phoenix recovery but not sure what to do

You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

In iMovie, I can't see my iPhoto videos in the event library. Why ? this is after updating to 10.7.4

in iMovie, I can’t see my iPhoto videos in the event library. Why ? this is after updating to 10.7.4
also, if I want to use a picture in my movie, it says 'Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list.'
It never use to do this.

Imovie 11 crashes when I attempt to view iphoto video tap in events.

I recently upgraded to imovie 11 on my MBP running 10.6.7. When I try to view the iphoto video tab in imovie i get the spinning ball of death. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening here.. thanks!

Without crash logs it will be difficult to pinpoint the root cause, but here are the possibilities based on what iMovie tries to load on launch:
1. ~/movies/imovie events/
2. ~/movies/imovie projects/
3. iPhoto videos via com.apple.iapps.plist
4. connected video peripherals, including cameras
5. the root directory of all volumes, internal and external scanning for possible movie directories, such as dcim.
6. com.apple.imovie*.plist
You can also check for installed 3rd party plugins.
What I would do, is temporary move the projects and events to the desktop and see if imovie launches. If it does then move them back systematically. If iMovie still doesn't launch with a clean workspace, then it can be attached volumes and peripherals or iphoto. You can create a new iphoto library with no videos to see if that helps.

Recovering iPhoto video files

I recently discovered that all the videos that I had been archieving to an external HD from iPhoto are not the actual files but, from what I read, references to a database (most of these files show file sizes in the 10-600kb range).
I would archieve the videos by navigating in the finder to the files themselves instead of dragging them out of iPhoto. You may ask why, and I am not sure for some reason I just thought it would be safer to drag "original" files from the finder...
Once I would archieve the videos I would wipe them clean from my computer to free up space.
Is there any way to get these back, either with time machine or some other crazy sudo command line?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

The way to get video from iPhoto is to export:
File -> Export
and set the Kind to Original
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that, it sounds like you've corrupted your library and deleted your own data. Restoring from your back up is the only solution to that.

I can't see my iPhoto videos in iMovie events library. Help!!!

I just purchased the new MacBook Pro with retnia display. I imported my 2011 and 2012 iphoto files into the pictures folder. When I open the 2012 file and goto imovie I see all my video's. If I reopen iphoto and direct it to 2011, when I open imovie it acts as if there is nothing to display for video. I have recreated the 2011 iphoto file from backup drives and NOTHING seems to work. What could be going on? Is this fixable?

Hi Tom, Thank you for your reply. Please forgive my ignorance. I did try to find the answer here but I am new at this. Could you direct me to that thread please? Yes the external hard drive is used for time machine and I did see something at one time regarding an issue but evidently it didnt sink in or stick. The drive is a g-raid I have had for several years used on a macbook pro but now I have a new imac and fcpx. works fine with all other apps, when the drive came out of the box it said preformatted and just ran with it.

How do I move Iphoto videos to iMovie event library?

I have this huge English project and my Photobooth videos which I have put in Iphoto won't move into my IMovie event library! I put a background in the Photobooth video. Does that make the video invalid for Imovie videos? HELP!

Hi welcolme
You may get a better response posting this under iLife iMovie section
A PhotoBooth movie can be dragged by it's thumbnail image from the bottom of the PhotoBooth window out of PhotoBooth on to the Desktop and then can be dragged into an Event in iMovie's Event Library. Or you can drag it directly into the iMovie Event Library if you do not want a copy on the Desktop

I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. My events are not sorted in date order even though I have chose it to under the view tab????

I cannot get my photos in date order in iPhoto 11 What can I do to remedie this?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Video Files in iPhoto?

Is there any way to play video files that are stored in iPhoto? I'd hate to export all of the just to play them in Front Row.

There is no native support of iPhoto video files in Front Row at this time. You need to either add them to iTunes or your Movies folder.
You can add them to iTunes by turning off copying in iTunes and dragging the videos into iTunes.

How to remove the iPhoto video clips from the iMovie Event Library

Hi,
The new iMovie took a couple of hours to index my iPhoto video clips. That didn't bother me so much as I have 2564 video clips in my iPhoto library.
However, when I launch iMovie, it now takes approximately 30 minutes to be ready for use.
Is there anyway to de-register the iPhoto video clips in iMovie?
I'll switch to only importing the clips I want to work with as iMovie does not appear to be written to handle a large quantity of video clips efficiently (for the G5 cpu anyway).
Perhaps if when selecting "iPhoto Videos" in the Event Library, it would first show the video clips divided into Events as with the new iPhoto approach. Would surely be quicker to scroll through. Scrolling through the video clips is far to slow.
iMovie won't even playback the video clips without pausing every couple of seconds. My iPhoto library lives on my internal drive.
Regards, Tony.

IMovie 11 does not see all iPhoto videos

As many guys are having different problems, but none as mine, I'm creating this new topic.
I just bought a MacBook Pro, and it came with iLife 11. I copied my pictures/movies folder to the Pictures system folder and imported all to iPhoto (but first, I unchecked the "copy to iPhoto library" option).
Doing so, iMovie didn't show the movies. After searching a little, I deleted all the Events, checked the "copy to library" back and imported the files again.
Now, I can see the videos there, but not all. Most interesting is that almost all videos are MP4 H.264, and some appears, others don't (they came from the same camera). Some other MPG MPEG-1/2 aren't there too.
I didn't migrated from previous versions of iLife. I installed QuickTime 7. The "copy to iPhoto library" is checked. I don't know what to do!
Thanks.

Neville, just to let you know (as promised), everything went very smoothly with my iLife '11 upgrade. All my iPhoto videos showed up in iMovie '11 within the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library. But, as I mentioned earlier, my preferences are set to copy photos to the iPhoto Library.
After installing iLife '11, my first step was to open iPhoto and allow the database to update. Once I was satisfied that iPhoto was running OK, I then opened iMovie and waited for it to do all the upgrading. That went smoothly also, other than a warning about a Centred Title missing from one of my iPhoto Videos and that the video wouldn't play without it. I haven't bothered to track that down yet - the video wasn't identified in the warning message.
I appreciate this doesn't really help you solve your issue, but it does help to confirm that things seem to work OK when the iPhoto preference is set to the option I've selected (copy photos). Note that my iPhoto Library is located on the internal drive. I have a small number of photos that I keep in separate folders outside of the iPhoto Library - mainly stuff I've done for other people that I don't want cluttering up iPhoto (although I realise that these can be hidden in iPhoto).

IPhoto videos seem to hang iMovie for 10-15 minutes

When I first launch iMovie and click into the iPhoto Videos in the Events Library the app hangs for around ten minutes. After that it seems to work normally. Non-iPhoto videos do not cause this problem. Any ideas?

Moretown got a few questions, which may help others identify your issue.
*SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:*
_ Go to "System Profiler" and look at the "Hardware Overview: "
1. Model Identifier?
2. Processor Speed?
3. Memory?
*OS & APP VERSION:*
4. What is your Mac OS Version and Build #?
5. What Version and Build # of iMovie are you running?
6. What Version and Build # of iPhoto are you running?
CAMERA:
7. What camera/s did you use to create your iPhoto videos? (Make / Model)?
IPHOTO:
8. What is the size of your _entire iPhoto Library_ ?
9. How many videos in your iPhoto Library? *+(see steps below)+*
10. What is the size of all your videos combined? *+(see steps below)+*
+(Use the steps below for question #9 & #10)+
_ Launch iPhoto
_ Select "Photos" from the Library
_ Go to "Edit > Find"
_ Type "movie" in the Search field
_ Click the "Information" button -- it looks like a blue ( i ) -- to show the info tab.
+All the necessary information will be listed there.+

IMovie 11 does not see iPhoto videos

Using iLife 09, iMovie showed my iPhoto videos in the lower pane event browser.
Upgraded to iLife 11.
iPhoto spent some time converting my library - but it completed; and seems fine.
iMovie, however, no longer shows the iPhoto videos. The text says no video clips match the current selection - but this never changes no matter what is selected.
My previous iMovie projects all still exist; and seem fine. The videos that were added from the event browser in '09 are also still fine within those projects.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for fixing this.
