Fuji Finepix iPhoto movie import problems

iPhoto won't let me import any movies from my Fuji Finepix camera that's over two/three minutes long. I've plugged my camera into a friend PC and it imported the movie with out any problems. There's no problems with importing photos at all, or movies under two minutes. It just doesn't recognize movies over 2 minutes.
I have plenty of space on my HD to accommodate these movies.
I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6
any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
thx

Hi.
I have had the same problem with iPhoto 6 not importing my longer video clips. I do use a card reader. When iPhoto won't import a movie, the workaround is to use Image Capture. Select "Download Some" and switch the window to List view to preview the files on the card. Select the movies and upload to a Desktop folder. Ignore the blue progress meter - it seems to go from 0 to 100% with no indication of actual progress. It can take several minutes, but I've learned to be patient and the clips will eventually appear on the Desktop. Once there, iPhoto has had no trouble importing them into the Library.
Regards.

Iphoto 6 Import Problem

Howdy All,
Every time I import a set of photos into Iphoto, the import function locks up at the end of the import, thus requiring me to force quit the program (when I just simply try to quit, i get a window telling me the import process is still going on).
When I re-open the program, my photos are properly imported and I can go along my merry way, but it's frustrating having to do this (force quit & exit) every time. Any ideas what the cause of this is and what the solution is?
Thanks All.

Howdy.
A rebuild of the database might help. Hold the Option and Command keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 choices and leave it to work for a while.
Those force quits could eventually corrupt your database file. To protect yourself, make a duplicate of the file called Library6.iPhoto which is inside your iPhoto Library folder. (Do this in Finder.) Move the copied file out of the iPhoto library. Then if your library does have a catastrophic failure, you can replace that file with the one you backed up and restore your library.

Fuji FInePIx F31fd colour reproduction problems in Lightroom.

Hi, I have a Canon 400D and Fuji FInePix F31fd. When I import the Fuji pictures into Lightroom (1.1 and 1.3) some of the pictures have pink artefacts on the faces of the subjects. When viewed on the camera, using Canon software of Fuji software, or even Nero or Windows, none of the artefacts are present. In fact, all of the Fuji images look soft and the colour reproductions are poor when viewed with Lightroom or Photoshop.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anybody have any suggestions for resolving this?
Many thanks.

Not necessarily. The other applications likely don't use the OS's default monitor profile.
As for the 400D shots, it's possible that the tone curves tend more to avoid the troublesome areas of the profile.
If you don't profile your monitor, delete the default from the OS and see if things change. You can always put it back.

Iphoto 11 import problem. My camera is importing photos as 4x4. I see a single image in the preview window, but the import is 4x4. I just imported from a different camera and that one was OK. I can't find any setting to change to fix this problem

I am having a new problem in IPhoto'11. An older camera is importing photos as 4x4 (16 copies to a single image). In the preview pane the photos are fine (single copy per image). I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting but the problem repeats. Earlier I had a successful import from a different camera.
I can't find any settings to change this. Help!

Sorry but I do not understand your question
As to importing iPhoto simply copies the photos to the iPhoto llibrary - no changes of any sort are made

DVD Backup iPhoto (video import problem)

I have backed-up all my iPhoto events to DVD's.
Now I have imported a DVD into iPhoto. I have all the events back but the video's have the wrong date and time. Also the events are not the same as the DVD.
Does anybody know what I had done wrong?
When I look to the photo's and video's on the DVD (in iPhoto) everything is alright, but not after import them.

This is the way I have done this:
Back up on DVD:
- Open iPhoto
- Insert blanco DVD
- Select "Events" (with Shift key more events)
- Share -> Burn
When the DVD is ready and I watch the picture's and video's in iPhoto there is now problem. The events, date and time is good.
Import DVD to iPhoto:
- Insert the DVD and open iPhoto
- Drag and Drop; not possible to import the video's. Message: Not possible to import, ... wrong structure (sorry, tranlated from Dutch)
OR
- Import to library; than the video's are imported, but the date and time is wrong.

IPhoto 5 import problems

I have a Canon PowerShot s40 with 128 mb card. I have about 71 photos on the card. When i connect with USB cable, the imaged import fragmented or combined with other photos. On the camera they view fine. I also get a message window after I cancel the import saying that certain jpg files (still trmporary) had issues.
So some pictures come in fine, some are combined with other pictures, and some wont transfer. Any help here? Thanks!

Hi giz-mo,
I had this problem when my camera's battery was low and I did the import to iPhoto. Try charging the battery fully before you import. I lost my photos from that import because I had iPhoto delete the photos from the camera after import. I suggest you make sure iPhoto's preferences are set to not delete photos from the camera.

Movie importing problem

1. I have chosen the "Reflection" theme template.
2. I have used the edit drop zone feature and imported jpgs for the motion slides that move from right to left.
3. I have dragged a .mov from my desktop and placed it in the area of the translucent pane in the template, a yellow dot and a box with the file name appearred.
4. When I tried to adjust the location of the movie on the pane and edit its name by selecting it the template name box to the right "Reflection Main" is highlighted and moves as if it was selected, while my mouse is still on the movie name.
I have tried going to the edit menu and selected "select none" and it does de-select the Reflection Main box but the process repeats itself when I have tried again.
Also when I review the project and try to start the movie by clicking on the file name - it is not selectable - nothing happens.
I am tring to make a DVD that will auto start to the slide show of the reflection template and when one clicks on the movie name it will then play the movie.
Please help,
jim

Photo to movie import problem

Just purchased Photo to Movie. Made first movie which I want to import to iMovie project. For some reason, labeled unknown error, the import won't occur. What to do?

I’m not real familiar with this app (since i personally use Apple's iPhoto or Adobe's PS and not LQ Graphics). Have you tried using iPhoto instead? iPhoto likely interfaces with iMovie much better than LQ Graphics apps. Nevertheless, i did do a search for you and found the following which you may already know....
What version of QT are you using? (Photo to Movie mandates QT 6.5.2 or later).
Also what version of Photo to Movie did you install?
Is it version 3.2.3 or later?

IPhoto movie imports not showing up in iMovie

I have a 2009 Mac Mini running 10.7 and iPhoto and iMovie '11 (latest updates for all products).
I have recently had to rebuild my iPhoto library, and while Iphoto itself works and acts like a champ, I get no videos coming up in iMovie. No prompt to create thumbnails, nothing.
I have deleted plist files associated with both apps from my user library, and closed and reopened both apps, still nothing. At a loss at what I can do at this point.
Can anyone provide a suggestion on how to proceed?

It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

Iphoto, slow import problem from SD

Hallo to everyone,
I have a strange problem since I have have update Iphoto '11 a few day ago.
When I insert the SD card, the icon appears in finder and Iphoto loads, BUT the icon of the SD card in the program need much more time to appears, 2 o 3 minutes; also there are 2 icons of the same card with the same content. I tried to format the card and to repair permissions, but with no positives results.
Any ideas?

The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

Movie importing problems (won't accept quicktime .mov files)

I have tried to import several movies, three of which are edited off of final cut pro and two which are dowloaded quicktime movies. I get the pop-up which says "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "Movie", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." Every one of the movies has been converted into a quicktime movie and is a .mov file, which accoring to the web-site should be easily played on the iPod? Anyone know what I can do?

Even tho the files are.mov they also have to be a certain fps size (Frame Per Second). here is the exact details on what iPod supports best in the format you have
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

IPod Video movie importing problems

I'm having issues importing h.264 mp4's into my new iPod Video. I get a message that says it can't be copied because it can't be played on this iPod. I originally imported all my Seinfeld that I own into my computer using Handbrake. I chose h.264/mp4 settings and it has been fine all along until now. I've had success using VisualHub to convert them into iPod ready format, but when I look at the video settings, nothing looks different as far as format.

Try converting with Instant Handbrake, that always works for me.
http://mirrors.m0k.org/handbrake/testing/Instant-HandBrake-20060421.dmg
Too bad none of my videos are visible anymore. I had all of Season 4 of Seinfeld. Now I get to bring up the hidden files to back it up and restore. That's gonna suck.

IMovie 08 hangs while trying to import iPhoto movies at the start.

Hi guys,
When I open Imovie 08, it asks me to import iphoto movies. Then it stays there for ages and never ends importing those movies. I know I can just skip this process but I want to edit those videos from iPhoto.
I guess is some corrupted file it is trying to import what is causing this incident but I have no idea how to tell which is the "bad" file since iMovie doesn't give any information about it.
Any clues?
Thanks in advence

Hi,
I wouldn't say I have such a lot of movies in Iphoto but deffintely they are quite a few... anyway, I suspect it will never end because the timer gets bigger and bigger; and yes I left it running overnight with no luck.
Is there any way to see in which video is iMovie having the problem? The other workarround means having to backup and delete videos randomly until I find "the bad one".
Cheers.
