How do I rotate movies in iphoto 11?

how do I rotate a movie clip in iphoto 11?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.

How Do you rotate videos in iPhoto without having to use Quicktime Pro?

I took videos from a concert and I'm wanting to make a video on iMovie with a mix of pictures and videos but i took pretty much all of my videos vertically
How can I rotate them?
I can't buy Quicktime Pro so is there any other way?
Help much appreciated!

There is no way to do this with iPhoto.

lists various apps and plug-ins. Some are stand alone some work inside iMovie. You might find something there

HT4906 How do I share/move my Iphoto slide show with my Ipad?

I am trying to move my Iphoto slide show to my Ipad.

Export it to the Finder, which will make a QuickTime movie of it. Add that to iTunes and sync.

How to view all movies in iPhoto '08?

When I look at the information for my entire library iPhoto reports I have '238' movies. How can I easily view a list of just my movies? I have tried creating smart albums but despite my best efforts I cannot get it to find all the movies.
iPhoto knows how many movies I have, where is the option to 'just show movies'? That would be ideal. Maybe iMovie does it but the **** thing stalls on importing my movies (but that is for another thread).
Cheers,
-Kyle

Here is the smart album I use:
Match any of the following conditions:
Keyword is Movie
Filename contains .avi
Filename contains .mov
Filename contains .mp4
Filename contains .mpg
At least on my camera, when iPhoto imports movies it adds a Movie keyword - that catches almost everything for me. I added those filename things as a safeguard - I believe those are all the movie file formats supported by iPhoto. That should catch everything. Hope that helps ya.

How do i email movies from iphoto?

i have taken some short movies on my still camera and imported them into iphoto. how do i email them?

bibbi:
You have to export them to the desktop and manually add them to the email. When exporting either drag the thumbnail to the desktop or export using the Format=Original option.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I use movies in iPhoto 9 to iMovie 10

I am using iPhoto 9 and have recently upgraded to iMovie 10.
I have a lot of movie clips in iPhoto (taken on an iPhone or digital photo camera) and want to be able to use them in iMovie projects. (I was able to do that quite easily in previous versions of iMovie.)
I can find the clips via the iPhoto Library function in iMovie (in the libraries list) but they will not "copy" to the project pane. When I try all I get is a 'no entry' typre symbol (a circle with a forward slash through it).
Where am I going wrong?
Any solutions?
Thank you

Just quit and restarted iPhoto.
Now it works as usual.

How do you both move from iPhoto and get masters on an external drive?

My partner currently has her photo library part in iPhoto and part in folders on her desktop (not imported or referenced by iPhoto). She has a MacBook Pro.
She now wants to buy Aperture and we want to put all the Masters on a connected hard drive as referenced masters with Aperture and its library file on the MacBook to minimise space problems.
I understand you can import the iPhoto library in its current location. Once that has been done, if we relocate masters to the external drive will that move or copy the iPhoto masters to the external drive? If it is a copy then I assume that once we are happy everything is as it should be with the masters on the hard drive then we can delete the iPhoto library.
If we import the jpegs which are not in the iPhoto library - after relocating the masters to the external drive - then will they be moved to the external drive from the drive of the MacPro?
It seems like you can get to a similar place by a different route by consolidating masters. Is that a better route?
Many thanks for any help you can give.

To be clear the final setup you want is to have the Aperture library on the internal HD and the masters referenced on an external HD.
When you import the iPhoto library you can place the masters on the external drive as referenced in one step. In the import window for the iPhoto library you will be able to choose the external drive as the destination for the masters:
Select the Store Files: pulldown and set the destination for the masters to the external drive. Select the way you want the folder structure for the referenced masters using the Subfolders: pulldown and finally set the way you want the versions in Aperture to be named.
The masters will be copied once you are sure that the operation has been successful you can remove the iPhoto library from the internal drive.
When you import the images not in the iPhoto library you can use the File->Import Folders as Projects command. Again you will be able to do the import and moving the masters to the external drive in one step. The window will be similar to the one above. As you did above set the destination for the masters and import.
good luck

How to read a movie on iPhoto from a Sony video camera

Dear all,
I am a new user of Mac (before was a PC user) and have bought a Mac Book Pro.
I try to connect my video camera Sony DCR-SR290 using USB port ; then when I open Iphoto I could not see the movie ; I try to import one of the movie and the following message appears : " The following file could not be imported, the format is unknown" (I have made the translation from : Le fichier suivant n'a pu être importé. Son format n'est pas reconnu).
Do you have any idea ? Do I have to use firewire port ? Is there a specificity with Sony video camera ?
I have bought the MPEG2 additional features for Quicktime but no modification (may be, as I am a beginner, I did not install it correctly ; do not hesitate to tell me where I have to put the upload file).
So please help me as initially I have bought Mac so as to work easily on video movie .
Thanks for your help.

oups yes, why I did not check this before......
I am really a beginner with Mac.
I will try this tomorrow and will keep you inform.
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

How to import AVCHD movies into iPhoto without wavy lines.

Seems to be quite the common plight but few resolved answers (that I could find) ...
Importing videos in to iPhoto from Sony Handycam "works", but upon viewing the quality is garbage with lines, shooting in 1080i mode at 30 fps.
I know I can import into iMovie but because it converts that to AIC it chews up way more space. I've also played around with ClipWare, but that only seems to reduce the distraction slightly.
Any other automated software out there to do this? Seems like a good market to make some serious coin for whoever comes up with software for it.

Lighten up Francis! It was meant to be lighthearted observation of some frustrating facts. Didn't you see my smiling winking emoticon?
It is cathartic to vent a little now and then by the way, you should try it sometime.
I originally posted to confirm for others that the bug was still there.
Your post was not helpful since you simply told me to stop doing what I need to do. I understand that is all the advice you could give since there is no workaround for the bug. I explained why changing to another video format would not meet my needs.
Your suggestion for contacting Apple directly and giving feedback is good but at this point we are probably having a tempest in a teacup over nothing since it will be a whole new ballgame in Photos.
So long and have a nice day.

How do I import movies from iPhoto to imovie

I have some video in iphoto, which doesn't appear in imovie - why is this?
Any suggestions very welcome.

Another possibility is to use the media browser in iMovie to access the iPhoto library directly.

IPhoto Questions (including rotating movie & save locations)

I've owned my new Macbook Pro for a little over a month now. Prior to this I have been using Linux (Red Hat, SuSE, Ubuntu, etc...) on my primary computer and MS Windows for many, many years. I am very used to the way Linux and Windows handle files including imported photos. Prior to my Macbook purchase, I was managing my iPhone and iPad with Windows 7. Please pardon my Mac OS X ignorance. I am new to this.
Here's my hardware:
Macbook Pro 15" Retina 512gb (mid 2014) with OS X 10.10.1
iPhone 5s (16gb)
iPad 4 retina (64gb)
Now the questions... When I import photos from my iPad or iPhone into iPhoto, the photo's do not go into the "Pictures" directory unlike Windows. I did some research and apparently iPhoto stores your photos in a database similar to the way iTunes works with music. However, unlike iTunes, you cannot browse the .jpg's and .mov's in the finder, you have to open them in iPhoto to see them. This creates a problem for me in that I can't back up my photos manually anymore to an external hard drive. I have to rely solely on Time Machine. I don't like that. Also, I'd just like to be able to browse my photos in finder. I want access to the .jpg's and .mov files so that I can copy them to USB thumb drives, etc... Is there a way to import your photos from the iPhone or iPad into the "Pictures" folder on my Macbook, then into a date sub folder similar to the way Windows imports photos? This would be preferable for me because I want access to the original files in finder, not just through iPhoto. If there is an "open in finder" option in iPhoto, obviously the photos are stored in folders on the Macbook. Why can't you just browse them from finder without using iPhoto? iTunes lets you do this. Is there a setting in iPhoto that I am missing that will allow this? If not there should be one similar to the iTunes "keep iTunes media folder organized" option.
Also, when I have to rotate a movie that is located in the iPhoto library, I know that I can click "open in finder" from iPhoto and open the .mov in Quicktime to rotate the movie. However, when saving (there's no save option, you have to close and are prompted to export) there is no option to save in the original location and rewrite the movie in iPhoto. The only option is to store in one of the browsable file folders (Movies, Pictures, Documents, etc...). Consequently, when opening iPhoto, the movie file remains in the original rotation, unchanged. How do I have Quicktime save to the original location of the movie in the iPhoto library? You can not open iPhoto Library.photolibrary from within Quicktime and browse to the folder containing the original movie. This is mind boggling to me. I suppose I could delete the original movie in iPhoto and import the rotated movie into iPhoto, but this seems like a huge waste of steps, time and is really inefficient.
I don't like not having control over my photos. I'd like to be able to view all of them in my finder. Am I missing a preferences setting or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't like not having control over my photos. I'd like to be able to view all of them in my finder.
You have far more control over your Photos with iPhoto than with the Finder. But you can simply use the Finder or any other app to manage your photos, iPhoto is not compulsory in any way. If you are going to use iPhoto then there is a conceptual leap to make, and then it begins to make sense.
That leap is this: that Jpeg is not your Photo. That .doc file is not your novel. That .mp3 is not the song. In each case, these files are containers for the data - with characteristics attuned to the nature of the data, sure - but your data is the photo, the novel, the song. Or put another way, they're the shoebox, your data is the shoes.
iPhoto is about the Photo and not the file. If you want to manage files by all means do, and best to use a file manager. iPhoto is for managing Photos. The best analogy I can come up with is the Contacts.app. (and like all analogies, it's limited but here goes.) The Contacts.app is a central store and repository for anything to do with your address book, emails, phone numbers. Somewhere on the HD is a file or files with all this data, but you never go there. You either use the Contacts.app or any of the many hooks built-in to the OS to access, edit, share and manipulate this data.
Now try the same with iPhoto: iPhoto is a central store and repository for anything to do with your photos. Somewhere on the HD is a file or files with all this data, but you never go there. You either use iPhoto or any of the many hooks built-in to the OS to access, edit, share and manipulate this data. So, iPhoto replaces the file manager for anything to do with your photos, because it's about the photos and not the files.
Coming from Windows and Linux, especially, this level of abstraction can be confusing, but that's what it is. Added to this is the level of virtualisation used in iPhoto - all edits are virtual until you export - the non-destructive editing feature can also be confusing. But that's why iPhoto can't be navigated via the Finder. Comparing it with iTunes, which has no editing, is not comparing like with like. iPhoto will always preserve your original data - the photo as shot.
To specifics:
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
This creates a problem for me in that I can't back up my photos manually anymore to an external hard drive.
Of course you can. Simply Export them. File -> Export. Now you can choose exactly what to export: the original, an edited version, if different qualities and different formats. But again, simply backing up a version of the photos is not really backing up your work, just the raw data. So you need to back up the Library as well.
have to rely solely on Time Machine. I don't like that.
No you don't.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Is there a way to import your photos from the iPhone or iPad into the "Pictures" folder on my Macbook, then into a date sub folder similar to the way Windows imports photos?
Two ways:
1, With iPhoto you can run a Referenced Library. But I cannot urge you enough not to do this. iPhoto does not have the tools to manage this and you're only strong up grief for further down the road. It's unnecessary and only makes more work for exactly zero advantage.
For more on iPhoto and file management see this User Tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6361
2. Use some other system for managing your photos. Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) will get your images from your camera/phone/whatever and put them wherever you like. Just don't use iPhoto.
However, when saving (there's no save option, you have to close and are prompted to export) there is no option to save in the original location and rewrite the movie in iPhoto.
Again, this has got to do with non-destructive processing and that's why you're better importing movies to iMovie and processing them there and then exporting them to the finder, and only when you've finished them, importing them to iPhoto. (Or just not shooting video in portrait).

Rotate movie AVI in iPhoto

How do I rotate an imported movie in iPhoto? If it is shot in vertical, it shows up in Events as horizontal, and I have to rotate my laptop to play it.

You can't. is the simple answer. You'll need to use something like QuickTime Pro, iMovie or a video editor that you might find on MacUpdate for the job.
In any case export the movie from iPhoto to rotate it, then re-import the edited version.

How to rotate movies

is there a way to rotate a movie view in itunes. Some of the movies I have taken are only viewable longways.

Sorry if this is too late: only just seen your post. Three ways to rotate movies -
1 Buy Quicktime Pro
2 Get TransformMovie (donationware, with free trial period) from http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html
3 Use the AppleScript given on the following MacOSXHints thread: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=13163&highlight=rotate+video
But after you've rotated the movie the thumbnail in iPhoto is still on its side. If you track down the original thumbnail images and rotate them in a graphics program they then appear the right way up but distorted because the thumbnail retains its landscape shape. I haven't found how to cure that.
