How do i import into iMovie, movies that have been imported into iPhoto?

There seems to be no way iMovie imports movies from iPhoto. Can some one let me know how to do it?

That could very well be, but I'm surprised that .mov files didn't appear. You can try rebuilding your iPhoto Library too. To do this, quit iPhoto and iMovie. Hold down the ⌘ Command key + Option key and then launch iPhoto. You will see a dialog box that allows you to reconstruct/rebuild your iPhoto library. Check all the boxes as we don't know at this point exactly why the videos are not appearing. Then click OK and let it run until it finishes. If you have a lot of photos in your library, this may take quite a while. Once it's complete try opening iMovie and see what appears under the iPhoto Videos folder in the Event Library. I would expect to see at least the .mov files showing up.
If this last step fails, you may need to convert the video clips to a different file format. To do this go into iPhoto hold down the CTRL key and click on one of  our video clips. Choose "Reveal in Finder". This will jump you over to the iPhoto Library folder and you can drag that video clip into a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. Download that program from the link I've provided.
Basically, you drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as your codec. iMovie will edit this like there was no tomorrow

  • How do I edit super 8 movies that have been transferred to DVD

    Hi
    I am new to Mac and would like to make a DVD to present at my son s wedding. The family movies were originally Super 8, were transfered to VHS and then to DVD, losing quality on the way...and they were not great to start with!
    I converted them to avi and wmv formats on the PC, but now that I have converted to Mac I would like to know how to proceed.
    I would like to extract short clips and put them together with photos and comments.
    Do I first create the clips on PC and then import to Mac. But I think Mac cannot read avi or wmv..I don t really know how to proceed. Anyone out there done a similar project?
    Thks for any pointers

    I would invest in one of the mentioned tools below, to convert the DVD into something, iM can work with:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
    I'm using this combo, it allows to convert just the parts of DVD you really need...
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    non of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

    how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

    Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
    The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

  • In a PrC, how to delete data from the PSA that have been loaded in Prcs Chn

    Hello,
    In a process chain, how can I delete the data from the PSA that have been loaded within that process chain. I don't want to delete data that belongs to other business units that use the same datasource.
    Thanks,
    Andre

    I dont think so you can achieve that, PSA is actually datasource dependent.
    One you load from a datasource to PSA.That is accesible by multiple DTPs if you have created so.
    As you said "I don't want to delete data that belongs to other business units that use the same datasource."
    If you delete the PSA, you may have to repull the data from source system again and if thats delta it wont work out.
    As said by above ppl you can include the "Delete PSA" in process chain but choose some 15 days buffer.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to control use from using GL that have been retricted

    Hi SAP Expert,,,
    the scenario is like this, i need to create new roles in order to control certain user from finance dept which there are no have a authorization to POST certain GL.
    i have check my current roles setting, it seems there are no roles that have been created so what is the object that can i use ?

    OK
    The easiest way to do this is to work out the GL accounts you want to use.
    Add an authorization group in control data in the GL master FS00.
    make sure the users have the same authorization object in the profile which is
    F_BKPF_BES  and BRGRU = your new authorization group.
    In terms of restricting the postings for certain periods, the authorization group needs to be added in OB52 against the correct posting period variant, and the users will need access to the authorization group in their profile via F_BKPF_BUP.
    You may need to run this by your secruity officer, however authorizations are maintained in PFCG.
    Please award points if this is useful.

  • How do you recover iMovie videos that have been deleted?

    I had finally finished my iMovie project, and it was finalized and ready to be posted to youtube, but when I tried to open it up it was completely gone. I went into finder and it is still in my iMovie projects folder, but when I try to open it up it just takes me to iMovie, where it has listed all the projects I have done in the past, but it is not there. I've tried iMessaging it to my other people's computers but it doesn't work. I've also tried putting it on a flashdrive and putting it on someone else's computer, and it won't open there either.
    I use iMovie'11
    Does anyone know how to recover my project??

  • Uploading iMovie Projects that have been Deleted from iMovie

    I recently deleted a few movies from my iMovie, to make some room, I still have the original Project files and would like to reload it back into iMovie to edit, How do I do this?
    Thanks

    The size of most apps are small, so I suggest allowing the apps to finish downloading by iTunes followed by deleting the apps from iTunes.

  • How can I best edit word documents that have been emailed to my iPad?

    I  regularly receive word documents from work, via my yahoo email account.  I have two questions really. 
    1) Can I edit word documents received via email?
    2) If this is possible, what is the best way to do this?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, yes. When I asked "how do I transfer it to Pages for editing?" I perhaps should have made it clear that I have purchased it. I can also create documents in it and send them as a Word document to others via email.
    Could you clarify "When you get the email, click on the Word Document to view it." The email appears in the Inbox list but does not show an attachment in the same way it does on my Mac. If I tap the email, it opens and reveals the contents including the Word document contents. At what point am I looking for an arrow - in the email list or in the opened and readable Word document?

  • How can I count only text fields that have been used?

    Hi,
    I'm using Livecycle Designer for a dynamic form.  I have a section of the form that contains field for the user to enter goals and then rate the goal.  I'd like to count only the text fields with entries and then have the total number of rates divided by the number of text field entries.
    Row 1 , column 1 -- Goal is to pick up 5 apples.   Row 1, column 2 - the rate given is 5
    Row 2, column 1 - Goal is to pick up 5 pears.  Row 1, column 2 - the rate given is 5
    Two goals for a total rating of 10     ---  10 divided by 2 = 5
    Is it possible to count only those fields that are populated?
    Also, is it possible to create an error message if the user entered 5 goals but only rated 4 of them?

    You could do a simple check for null and increase a counting variable if there's a value in the field. Here's a sample:
    var goalCount = 0;
    if (field1.rawValue != null){
         goalCount = goalCount + 1;
    if (field2.rawValue != null){
         goalCount = goalCount + 1;
    if (field3.rawValue... etc.
    this.rawValue = totalPoints/goalCount;
    where totalPoints is a sum of the values in the goal fields. This script is javascript and should be placed in the calculate event of the field showing your average score.
