How do I get the videos in iPhoto into a thumbnail in iMovie

How can I get the videos that are in an iPhoto album to a thumbnail in iMovie when thumbnail does not appear? I have a early 2009 24" iMac and using iphoto 11.

Are you saying the the movie in iPhoto doesn't show a thumbnail or that it doesn't have a thumbnail in iMovie? If the latter then ask in the iMovie forum.
If the former then we need more information:
what exact version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when viewing an Event containing the movie in question?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

How do i get a video from iphoto into imovie

how do i get a video from iphoto into imovie

Hi Margaret,

In finder, locate the video, then drag & drop it on iMovie's icon.

In iMovie look in the Event Library. You should see an Event named "iPhoto Videos" (assuming the videos are compatible with iMovie).
Each time you open iMovie it will look for any new videos in iPhoto and place thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event. You will be given a choice as to whether you want the thumbnails generated now or later. The thumbnails will appear in chronological (date) order in the Event window. Note that the clips themselves are not actually imported to iMovie - they are simply referenced by iMovie (that is, iMovie points to the clips in iPhoto).
Drag clips (or parts of clips) to a project. To start a new project, select File > New Project from iMovie's menu.
Please ask if you need more advice. Otherwise, click on Help > iMovie Help in the menu. There you will find plenty of good information about how to use iMovie, including short video tutorials.

IPod Touch 64GB activated October 2013 - how do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps?

I purchased (from an authorised seller - Dixons Duty Free, Heathrow) and activated an iPod Touch 64GB on 18th October 2013 (prior to the announcement of free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps but after the 1st Sepember 2013 date in their conditions). It had iOS6 preinstalled. I've updated to iOS7. How do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps? The App Store is trying to charge me for theese.

Problem solved from information found in another thread....
If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Storeon your iPod which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."

How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want?

How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
File > Export > Version/Originals
Then use "Filename > Sequential"
or "Filename > Album name with index"

Panasonic P2HD how do i get the video into Final Cut Express.

I have a Panasonic P2HD video camrea how do i get the video into FCE.

You can't. FCE doesn't support DVCPRO HD. You'd have to convert it to the Apple Intermedia Codec in some other sofware. FCE also probably doesn't support the frame resolution the P2 media is using.

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play on IPad ?

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play. I get a message that says video will play not but sometime the audio will play . I thinking that I am overlooking something in the settings.
I have had the videos working in the past, and I am not trying to run flash. Problem surface when I rebooted the iPad.

Balance? Seriously? No serious person can say that hardcore lefties like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Larry O'Donnel and Rev. Al are balanced. They are opinion show masquerading as news programs. The public isn't fooled, and MSNBC's rating show it.
Anyway, the Fox News app is very good and always works with video, audio, and slide shows. Worth a look if you are seeking a mulitmedia news app.

How can I get the video window to disappear?

Placing video in a InDesign CS6 file, exporting as an interactive pdf. The video plays fine but when it is finished playing a black box replaces the video. How do I get the video window to disappear after video finishes playing? BYW, using the No Poster option in InDesign.

When the video finishes playing in an interactive PDF, it shows the last frame of the video. The last frame of your video is probably black.
There is no way to get the video window to disappear if it's embedded in the page, sorry. You could change the last frame to white, however.

Teststand 1.03 - How can I get the sequence file path into an expression?

The sequence file will be located at different locations on different computers. I need the base address of the sequence file to get to the correct limits file. How can I get the sequence file path into a string-local expression.
Thanks

As Ray described, the FindFile expression function and TS API method will seach all TS search directories and return to you the path of your file, assuming the file is located in the search directories.
If you just want the path of a TS file that you have a reference to then there is a faster, easier method. You can use the Path property of the PropertyObjectFile class. In the attached example I use an AcitiveX Automation adapter step to call Path on the property RunState.SequenceFile. This returns the path to the current executing sequence file. Note that if you have not yet saved the sequence file then the path will be empty. In a subsequence step I strip off the file name leaving the root path of the file.

How do I get the videos off of my iCloud onto my phones photo center?

My friend shared videos of a birthday party and I tried to download them from the iCloud to my iPhone 5 but there was no option to do so. The pictures came over easily but I can't figure out how to get the videos. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello again, kennis32.
Thanks for provide an update on your issue so far. This supplemental article provides some good pointers for not seeing PhotoStream on your Mac:
iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
I would first review the information here:
I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in iPhoto or Aperture. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your Mac.
From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud.
Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. If you want all new photos that you upload to your iPhoto or Aperture library to upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
If the issue still persists, then use these steps to toggle PhotoStream off and on:
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.
If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.
Cheers,
Pedro

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

I have a sony hdd camcorder, how can i get the videos from it to my macpro?

I have a sony hdd camcorder, how can I get the viedos from the camcorder to the macpro?

If you have iMovie it can import video from most camcorders, but not all.   It comes with every Mac Pro.    If you need to restore it from the original installer discs, these are the directions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604
Typically iMovie can import if you connect via IEEE 1394 or USB.   IEEE 1394 comes in three flavors:
4 pin (typical for many camcorders), 6 pin (known as bus powered Firewire 400), 9 pin (known as Firewire 800 or 1394b).   Cables exist to connect each type of Firewire to each other. Locate your Camcorder directions on Sony's website to determine what pinout exists if you don't have the manual.
Double check on Sony's website there isn't a firmware update for compatibility with your operating system.
Push comes to shove, you may have to install Windows on your Mac to connect the Camcorder.

How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding. Micdude001
