FCE to Mobile Me Gallery

I edit my Standard Def video in FCE, export a QT movie reference file using current setting out of FCE and bring it into imovie 09 so I can post my video to my mobile me gallery. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality once it is up on mobile me. I know I'm still shooting standard def footage, and high def wouldn't degrade so quickly, but it seems like my video looks normal out of FCE, but bringing my reference file into imovie, it seems like the video gets degraded and posting to mobile me, the video gets degraded yet another time. Final result, very degraded standard def video.
A couple of questions:
1. Does my workflow make since? Is there a better way of doing this without all the degrading steps?
2. Is imovie looking at the original file which is 7.5gb even though my reference file is 350mb? Or is the degraded image I see in imove due to me using a reference file instead of a self contained file.
I know this is a FCE forum, but I'm assuming other FCE users are using imovie to post to mobile me.
Thanks so much for the help.

I've found the HG21 to be a great camcorder if you're looking for an AVCHD workflow. It works well for recording both interlaced and progressive 1920x1080 footage, both of which are fully supported by FCE. The built-in mic is acceptable, and the manual focus is excellent. The camera shoots extremely clear quality footage in well lit environments but like many AVCHD cameras doesn't fare as well in low-light. Since AVCHD is transcoded to AIC upon ingest, you'll need to make sure you have a large external media drive to store your footage on. Here's a couple videos I recorded with it and edited in FCE in case you're interested in seeing what it can produce:

If you have any more specific questions about the camera, I'd be happy to try to answer them!

Can not view mobile me gallery videos on IPHONE

Can any body tell me why i can not view my mobile me gallery videos on my Iphone? When i bring up my gallery on my phone it only shows some of my posted video not all of them and the time has 0:00. If you try and play it you get an error message.

When you send an email announcement for others to view a MM gallery, you can Bcc yourself with the message - to your MM address.
If you store all sent messages on the server, you can access the sent message in your MM account's Sent mailbox. This will provide you the link to your MM gallery, which you can bookmark for later use or create a web clip which will be placed on your iPhone's Home screen for faster access.

Problem using email to upload image files to Mobile Me gallery

I will cross post this question to both Mail and Mobile Me discussion groups because I don't know where my problem lies.
I have published a gallery page from iPhoto to my Mobile Me gallery. There are two ways to upload additional photos. I am not having trouble adding image files with the Upload feature. I cannot get the email function to work. The emails I send to the email address for the gallery bounce back to my mail inbox.
Subject: Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed
and in the body of the bounced email:

One of the images I am trying to attach is a jpeg file of 61 kb.
I have tried to drag the image from my desktop to the body of the email. I have tried using the "attach" function and selecting the file name. I am not sending any text with these files.
When I built these albums, I checked and enabled all the options.
I am having this same issue when I try to upload via email to any of my Mobile Me gallery pages.
There is currently one photo displayed here:
http://gallery.me.com/tplattenberger#100352
If anyone wishes to try to upload to that gallery using email (Send to Album) that would be great and if successful, that might provide a clue to my problem.
As I say, I currently have one photo there. If you find a lot more, please do not add.
What's the problem?
Tom

The images I am trying are newly created and old.
A weird hint perhaps...
I just copied an image from Apple's home page and pasted it into the email and tried again...
it worked.
So I tried again, dragging from iPhoto and it did not work... the email bounced back.
So I tried again, this time using copy and paste (like I did from Apple's page) from iPhoto... it did not work.

IWeb and Mobile Me gallery?

I am using iWeb to create my web site but publishing my photos from iPhoto to the mobile me gallery. In iWeb I am using the Black theme where it puts the main links to the different pages across the top. I would like to add a link there that goes to the gallery.me.com page. how do I do this??
Thanks for the help.

iWeb: you don't need to save anything from the iDisk - iWeb does not open html files. Your iWeb sites are held in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file called Domain. So even after MobileMe terminates you will still be able to open iWeb and see your sites, you just won't be able to publish them to MobileMe. You can publish them to any other webspace - please see this page:
http://rfwilmut.net/migrate2
Gallery: if your albums arre synced with iPhoto or Aperture then the pictures are on your Mac anyway. If not, and you don't have local copies (which is always a risky procedure) you will have to download each picture separately. Alternatively there is an online photo gallery service called ZangZing which provides an easy import facility from various other services including MobileMe's Gallery. It's free until June 2012 after which the first 2GB is free with escalating price levels starting at $5 per month or $50 a year.

Mobile Me gallery sorting issue

I recently upgraded iLife from '08 to '09. I am having an issue when I publish and event to my Mobile Me Gallery where its not sorting the photos correctly in the gallery. They don't seem to sorted the same way as I have them in the event when I publish them to the mobile me gallery, its not doing it every time just sometimes. I know I can go into the published gallery within iPhoto and go to view > sort and change it in there but it seems strange that I would have to do that. Why wouldn't it publish the same way as I have them sorted in the event. It also seems that sometimes when I do resort them in the gallery that it doesn't stay. Also is there a way to set the default setting to sort a certain way? Thanks.

I am having similar problems, also in reordering multiple galleries in iPhoto.
try leaving feedback for Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to make them aware of the issues. Maybe they will fix this in a future update. it did work in iPhoto '08 after all.

"Mobile me" gallery sorting

Hey guys,
Two problems with Aperture 3 :
1) Impossible to sort "mobile me" gallery by name : it always comes back in weird orders...
2) Aperture 3 keeps freezing when I try to close it, forcing me to "force quit" it. Then, other problem emerged, like my iphone wouldn't get all the pictures of my librairies when syncronizing. I tried to "repair" it by cmd+option, and then, it made me a separate file "recovered project" with like 200 pictures in it — which I still have in my initial file, but as "copies" : if I delete the "recovered project", those will miss the "original" file...
Any idea of a solution, or should I just export my 6 000 pics library to reimport it with a clean install — with the "store file in their current location" option checked ?
thanks !
bill

Mobile me gallery question

hi. i have a quesion please: when i create a mobile me gallery, the size of the image to be viewed is really small. is there a way to adjust the viewing size?

My question is ,when we sync with our mobile me gallery ,aren't we supposed to get our photos back to the computer's library automatically?
No - you need to drag the photos for the MoblieMe galleries to the library
and if not ,how do we get the photos and iphotos library and events back to a freshly installed operating system.
The best way would be to load the backup you made just before erasing your drive and installing OS X

Mobile me gallery and stacks

When I drag a stack pick to a mobile me gallery the entire stack shows up in the gallery and none of the pictures in the stack are selected as the stack pick. Once I have all my pictures in the mobile me gallery I have to go back and re-select the picture in each stack I want published.
Is there a way to drag the stack pick from an album to a mobile me gallery without having to go back and re-selecting the stack pick
Thanks

Not that I am aware of. I drag the pic to the mobileme gallery. Then click on the version I want to display in the gallery, and "shift-\" to make that image the "album" pick. This keeps my project "stack" pick intact. Every album or gallery can have their own picks, designated by the check-mark on the thumbnail.
Would be nice if the album pick was designated by which version is dragged to the album, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Mobile me gallery vs Aperture 3 -- incompatible?

My Mobile Me gallery worked perfectly in Aperture 2. I upgraded to Aperture 3 and about 20% of my gallery images got deleted and the remaining ones appeared in a random order. I am rebuilding the galleries now, but the process is VERY annoying (not to mention the time and effort needed to select from ten thousand images). The order of the images keep changing; when I try to rearrange then, some stay in their desired positions while others jump around. Although my update preference is set to "manual", Aperture keeps updating every 30 seconds or so, slowing down work significantly. My final grudge is that some of the images that appear in the published gallery are not the same as the ones I chose to create the gallery. It appears that Aperture 3 is full of bugs ... Any advice?

Aperture does not have bugs any more, at least that is what some folk would have you believe.
If you have just installed Ap3. It needs quite a long time to do all that it has to, to finish fully, and depending mostly on the library size, it could take a couple of days to several to finish. It is best left to get on with it. If this is not the problem then i have no other ideas. Allan

Mobile me gallery in Safari

I added a mobile me gallery to a page in iweb 09 using the mm widget.
the gallery displays fine using a computer browser, but in safari on the iphone the pictures dont appear. I have to create a seperate link to the gallery to get them to appear.
any ideas?

http://gallery.mac.com/userid
or
http://gallery.me.com/userid
obviously replace userid with your MobileMe login but the iPhone does challenge you for your ID properly and will let you view the gallery.

Size on Mobile Me Gallery

Does anyone know how to make a Mobile Me Gallery larger than 320x256 pixels? Dragging it doesn't work and the inspector won't let you change the numbers to anything larger. Is this a built in limitation? Thank you in advance or your help.

That seems to be the limit for MMe galleries added that way. Send Apple a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.
However, you can embed an gallery in a web page. In this demo page I embedded the mosaic mode of an MME gallery rather than the top grid mode.
This demo page has other methods of linking to a MMe gallery. One is to use a photo from the gallery and link the photo to the gallery. You can make the photo as large as you'd like.

Slideshow on mobile me gallery

What is the easiest way to post a slideshow (with itunes music) on my mobile me gallery?

Roger:
Here's how to easily get a slideshow (one converted to a QT movie) online to be viewed:
1 - export the slideshow via the File->Export->Slideshow. Select either Medium or Large for the size.
2 - import that QT movie file into iPhoto.
3 - create an album and add the QT movie
4 - select that album and click on the MobileMe button in the lower toolbar of iPhoto. If it's not there go to View->Toolbar and select MobileMe.
5 - select the options in the drop down window in iPhoto and hit the Publish button.
That's it. Once the gallery is published you'll get a URL for it and can send that URL to those who you want to view it.
If you would like to have multiple sizes in the gallery for access by computers and cell phones import the QT movie into iMovie and export it to MobileMe. You'll get a MMe gallery with up to 4 sizes like this one:iMovie to MMe Gallery.

Adding photos to an existing Mobile Me Gallery

When I drag a photo from an event into an existing Mobile Me gallery it/ will always be at the bottom of the gallery window (in last place). I have a few galleries that I like to update often with new photos. I would love if those new additions would be the first in the series without having to find the new photo and drag it to the top of the list of the gallery. Does anyone know a setting that I can change to make this happen?

After you've added the new photos and they have been published to the gallery, go into the gallery in iPhoto, rearrange the photos as you want and hit the publish button again. That will rearrange the photos online.

Can't copy images from smart albums to mobile me gallery

Folks,
I'm rather new to Aperture ... so my question might be a trivial one. I'm having trouble to drag images from a smart album to a Mobile Me album. The images simply do not end up in the gallery. I can, however, create a new gallery from a selection in a smart album, and I can drag images from their regular albums to the Mobile me gallery. Is this a restriction in Aperture 2.1.4?

Same problem here.
Is this just not possible?
Do I have to re-create a new MobileMe gallery every time I want to add photos?
Maybe someone wrote a script?
Thanks for any reply answering one of those frustrating questions

Exporting videos to Mobile Me gallery not working

I have a Mobile Me album in Aperture 3 which only synchronizes photos. Everytime I try to upload a video to the Mobile Me gallery, Aperture hangs during the synchronization process.

Something that works for me; drag the file you want to iMovie and upload from there. It is an extra step, but a lot less agrivation and it works.
Good luck
