How do you import photos into imovie?

If you can open a Finder Window to your photos, you can drag them in to an iMovie project from the Finder.
Some third party apps might support drag and drop, but I haven't got Lightroom to test it. If drag and drop from LightRoom does not work, try exporting from LightRoom into a Finder folder and drag them in from there.

  • How do you import photos into IPhoto from a RSS feeder?

    I want to create a Photocast so I can deliver pictures into my friend's photo management program of choice. I have IPhoto 6 but my friends that have IPhoto 5 are having trouble. When I send them a Photocast, they can put the URL in the Safari Address Bar. They can see the pictures. But when you click and drag them to Iphoto, they do not get added to the Library, even though the green plus sign appears. The same thing happens if you drag to a desktop...an image appears on the desktop, but when you click it, nothing happens. It's like it's not a complete file or something.
    Now,back in SAFARI, if you click the title of the picture file, it expands in the window. Then you CAN drag it to your desktop as a complete file, but it will still not add to IPhoto.
    What is the best way to send pictures to friends other than sending emails with attachments?

    Allan's suggestion of using the iDisk will work but will fill up the iDisk unless you do housecleaning occasionally. Another, non Apple way would be to upload them to an account on Twango.com. It sort of like MyTube but for photos and videos and is more personal in nature. It's free (monthly uploads are limited to 250MB/mo) and others can easily pop into your public channel (individual sections of a person's account are called channels) and download whatever size you want. You can select the size of your uploads from full sized to 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels max. What I like about the site is that you can email photos to your account. Makes it rather easy. You can also add slideshows and a ticker tape type of display from Twango to web pages (they create the code to use for the channel you select) like this. It's not an Apple thing but I've found it's quick. May or may not be what you're looking for.
    Do you Twango?

  • How do you import movies into iMovie?

    i have imovie'11 version 9.0.8
    want to upload about 40 vidio clips to make a short film
    I click on file > import > movies
    then when i have found the folder I save to mactintosh hd and add to existing event which is new event
    I have tried checking the box to optimise video to Large - 960 x 540 and also tried unchecking this box
    and I select copy files
    after doing this I have left for at least 5 hours (both times, optimising and not) but nothing has happended and I have had to force quit imovie
    the clips I am using are MPEG movie, dimentions 720 x 576

    I have the following situation:
    Source Computer:
    MacBook Pro
          Snow Leopard
          iMovie 11
    Destination Computer:
    iMac
         Mountain Lion
         iMovie 11
    Our soccer coach took another job, but had created all kinds of iMovie projects on his MBP.  This was his own personal laptop, and we wanted the information transferred onto a school-owned Mac.  Tech copied the Movies folder under his user account to an external drive.  This folder contains all of the projects and events for the soccer season.
    Copied the Movies folder to the Public folder of the local administrator's account on the destination computer.  Tech adjusted the permissions for everyone to read-write, and applied permissions to all contents within.
    The problem is that from Finder, you can see all of the files - the .MOV files in the events folder, and you can see the projects thumbnails.  Double clicking on a project file opens iMovie, but nothing happens - iMovie opens with a blank project.
    When clicking on File --> import movies...  you can see the project names, but they are all greyed out.  The events will import fine, but the projects will not.
    I need help with this - i'm a novice at iMovie, and would like to get this situaion resolved.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

    How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do.
    Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • Confused...how do I import photos into a particular album?

    I'm trying to import a bunch of Hubble Space Telescope photos into iPhoto. They are in a folder on my hard drive. I'd like them to go into an album I created titled "Astro photos for iPad".
    Is there any way of picking selected photos and importing them directly into that album?
    I rarely use iPhoto, but every time I do, it's a major head-scratcher. I don't know why, but I simply do not understand the interface or organization (folders, albums, events, etc.). The PDF help manual doesn't cover importing photos from the hard drive. I'm sure iPhoto works wonderfully for regular users. I know it's me, not you!
    Where do the imported photos go? Are they in the aether until you, somehow, find them and then drag them into an album? How do you find them?
    It seems that the strategy is to give an import an event name as the way to group them, but then I can't find the event. (It's usually mixed in with a bunch of dated events.)
    Here's the complication in this case. I have dozens of images in that Hubble folder. I'm in iPhoto. I'd like to import selected ones. I have to import them one at a time because I'm checking on which image is which. Then they get lost as they were taken, and saved/dated, at different times. I suppose my only recourse is to create the iPad Hubble folder first outside of iPhoto and then import them in one fell swoop.
    I know this will all sound ridiculous to those who use iPhoto regularly or simply just get it, but I'm lost in space--literally!
    Any suggestions on making my way back to Earth would be greatly appreciated!

    I have read through the explanation provided but unfortunately you just explained iPhoto.  I believe the original question was how do you import photos directly into an album and bypass "EVENTS" and "PHOTOS". 
    I know this an old thread but I need help in doing this.  I have my camera connected, and I have created an album specifically that I want these pictures to go into.  Any advise?  Thank you, 
    You can't do it.
    iPhoto works like iTunes. All the tracks are in the Library, each playlist contains references to the tracks in the Library. So a track can be in any number of playlists without using extra disk space.
    In iPhoto, all the phoots are in the LIbrary. Each Album contains references to the photos in the Library. So a photo can be in any number of Albums without using extra disk space.
    Events and Photos are views of the LIbrary. Two doors into the same room, as it were.

  • Trouble Importing Photos into iMovie

    I am trying to import photos into iMovie and am having trouble. They look like they are importing OK, and when the import is through (the red bar has finished loading) the picture disappears and the clip becomes blank. This is happening when I import from the finder, from iPhoto, or from FILE>Import, and with lots of different photo sizes, none seem to work. My iMovie project file is located on an external drive with tons of space. I have plenty of space of the startup disk, so I don't know why this is happening, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

    I had this problem last year (August-Sept 2007), and I'm having it again now (August 2008). When I import jpeg photos from iPhoto to iMovie, they turn black and are not accessible in iMovie. In addition, this time when I imported several photos, the replay of the iMovie became jerky. When I threw out the photos, the movie became smoother, the way it was originally. There seems to be some sort of bug that has not been fixed in over a year.

  • How do you import photos from a Canon EOS 60d into Lightroom without distortion of photos?

    Is there a plug in needed or how does one get the photos from Canon EOS camera into Lightroom?  My come through looking distorted and noisy.

    Ok, full story...
    I have a Canon EOS 60D and was editing in DPP software that came with the camera. 
    I wanted more editing options so I bought Lightroom.
    All of a sudden photos that look good at home were being sent to printer and I was being told they couldn't print them at all. If I take the exact same photo, import it into the DPP software and edit it to look good on my computer and send it to the same printer they print it with no issues.
    I was selling on Deposit Photos some, now they won't even accept my photos the quality is so bad. But again, same photo edited in DPP they accept again.
    THere are two issues I am having, the one going to the printer or deposit photos is they leave my computer looking bright and good to me and get to the other site so dark you can't see the photo at all.
    The biggest issue I have been noticing is if I shoot with 200, 320 or 400 ISO, they look very fuzzy and I thought pixelated at first.  After reading forums with other Canon users having the same issue, people are saying it isn't true pixelation.  That the real problem is Lightroom not being able to intrepret the data so they look like there is a lot of noise and I have a bad picture.
    Before reading forums, I had also emailed Canon to see if there was an issue with my camera.  This was Canon's reply.... If you are recording RAW image files, are you using the Canon software to convert them to jpg or a third party program?  Sometimes programs like Lightroom and Photoshop do not interpret the files correctly and the result could be noise or a colorshift.  Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the RAW plugin for which ever software application you are using, or try using the Digital Photo Professional software included on the EOS Solution disk.
    I use Lightroom 4 and it has been updated regularly to the latest updates as they come out.
    I shoot in RAW only and never shoot above 400 ISO, usually 160-320 range.
    I have taken the same photos at 400 ISO and opened them in the DPP software and there is no noise at all, nice and clear.  I am only having this issue when I put them into Lightroom.
    I would really prefer to edit in LIghtroom as you have a lot more creative options there but there has to be something I need to do that they work in Lightroom as they do in DPP.  I have also used NERO in the past with no issues.  The printer person I send to is accepting them in Photoshop.
    Do I need to purchase some sort of plugin to have them work in Lightroom? Distortion was a bad choice of word, more fuzzy noise look then true distortion, sorry about that confusion.
    Thanks
    Ann
