How to download movie clips to IPHOTO?

im using a canon ixy camera; HELP says downloading movies from a camera is the same as that of the photos; but i can't. anyone, help.

iPhoto 4 (or earlier) is for photo stills, not movies. I'm not sure what you read, but it occurs to me that downloading a spreadsheet is "the same as" downloading a photo, too. That doesn't mean the spreadsheet will work in iPhoto.
If your camera has a FireWire connection, open an iMovie project and import your video to that application. If your camera has a USB connection (or a media card), then download your files using the Image Capture application. Then open an iMovie project and import the file. In either case, you will not be using iPhoto.

  • How to download movie clips to Mac OS X 10.4.11 from Nikon Coolpix S640?

    Hi ~ I have photos and one short movie clip on my SD card. I downloaded all the photos into iPhoto. Since the movie clip was on the same SD card I thought that it would automatically download to "somewhere"? I did find out that it would be a AVI file, I believe. I tried to find it somewhere on my computer but could not. Where did it go?
    Luckily, I did not erase it from my SD card. I am wondering how to correctly download this movie.
    I have not installed the Nikon software because it overtakes my photos in iPhotos and I had a scare when I thought I lost all my photos. I uninstalled it and my photos reverted back to normal in iPhoto. Who knows, maybe I did it wrong initially. Anyways, I contacted Nikon C.S. and they said if I did not want to use the Nikon software to download with, then the movie clip would be viewable in QuickTime. I could not find it there, either. I hope you can assist.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • HT4623 I have an iPad but can't download movie clips when received in either email or iPhoto. What do I have to do?

    I have a new Ipad but cant download movie clips when received on eihter email or from Iphoto.  My friend sent me a small holiday movie clip taken on Iphoto but I cant download it.  What do I have to do?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as your tagline says that you have iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for a first gen iPad is is iOS 5.1.1, and for other iPads is iOS 6.1.3

  • How do I transfer movie clips from iPhoto to iPad?

    How do I transfer movie clips from iphoto on my iMac, to my iPad?

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Titling movie clips in IPhoto?

    Can't seem to title my movie clips in IPhoto when I deleted the word "movie" I lost my video. Does it still exist?  Should I be downloading to IMovie?
    Thanks in advance of your help.
    Bob

    What version of iMovie are you using?  Is it a version before iPhoto 8 (09)?  If so then the movie title that you've deleting is the keyword that iPhoto assigns to all movies when they are imported into the library.
    This is what you see in iPhoto 7:
    The Movie title is a keyword. If you're using a smart album set to Keyword is Movie the movie will dissappear from the album if you delete the keyword.  Change the title, *** in the screenshot above.

  • How do I move clips from one Event to another?

    How do I move clips from one Event to another?
    As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
    Thanks for your help!

    how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

    If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

  • My G5 iMac died how do I move  photos in iPhoto to my new Intel iMac

    I was able to save the hard drive from my G5 iMac and it's now on a bootable firewire drive.
    How can I move all my iPhoto photos from the firewire drive to my new iMac so I don't lose anything?

    Drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old drive to the pictures folder of the new drive and launch iPhoto on the new computer - it will convert the library if needed

  • How do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    Specifically from?
    You export them: File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

    Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
    It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
    Make sure you backup

  • How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    Try this:
    Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
    Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
    The best way is to drag it to the far right
