How to find videos in Iphoto

I have videos in Iphoto they for some reason do not seem to be working. An error ostatus 54 comes up. I am trying to find it in the masters or original and I can't fin any of my videos in there. How do I find the videos.

Support methods as posted above by TD
File -> Export
and set the Kind to Original
will export your movie. iPhoto has no ability to compress movies at all.
Further, to find a movie within the Library package:
Select it the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original.
Just takes a little learning.

How to import videos from iphoto

it did it the first time i loaded imovie 08, but i cant find an option to do it again.
and thre is no info in any apply help file or the support pages, only how to import photos from iphoto.
stupid! or is it me being stupid

My iphoto video formats are the kind that my DMC Panasonic Still camer Shoots.
That doesn't really help, try opening them in QT/inspector and seeing what video and audio compression is used.
My point is, they are the same format as the ones that were imported 3 days ago.
Are you sure, your camera may be capable of taking more than one type of video, does im08 still recognise the video from 3 days ago
Is there a manual way to udate the iMovie video library from iPhoto when new videos are added to iPhoto?
Have you tried dragging the video from iphoto to the desktop and then in im08 using file/import movies

How to export videos from iPhoto 11

I have synced a load of pics and videos from iphone 5 to iPhoto 11 v9.4.2.
I want to get the vids on youtube (this option is not available via the share button in iPhoto).
I have tried exporting the video from iPhoto so i can do the upload manually as a normal file, however exporting the video (as original file format) causes it to export as a .jpg and not as the video format.
I would have done it form the phone but this fails everytime whether i am on 3g or wi-fi.
iPhoto does not even allow me to see the file location via get info so i cant even just go and find them myself!
How am i supposed to get the video file on my mac somewhere where i can see the file and upload it myself seeing as iphoto does not provide an upload to youtube option?
Please help!
Thanks

iPhoto does not even allow me to see the file location via get info so i cant even just go and find them myself!
If you select the video in the browser and use the command
File > Reveal in Finder > Original file
you should see the video file. Does that not work for you?
Also, you should be able to export the video:
File > Export
and set the "Kind" pop-up menu to "Original", like this:

How to access videos from iPhoto in Final Cut Pro X

Hi,
is it possible to access all the videos stored in iPhoto directly from Final Cut Pro X, compareable to iMovie?
Any idea?
Thanks for any help.

iPhoto and Aperture videos don't show up in the Photos browser in FCP X. Apple's directions (can't recall where I saw them) state to open both programs (FCP X and iPhoto) next to each other and then drag and drop the videos from iPhoto (or Aperture) to an event in FCP X.
Not how you'd hope it worked, but it works nontheless.

How to share videos through iPhoto

I have a Mac BookPro using version 9.5.1 of iPhoto. I haven't been able to share videos through iPhoto. The error message just says " Videos cannot be emailed." What's the best way to share videos?

Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

IMovie video import: It only finds videos in iPhoto?!

Based on Jobs' roll-out presentation, I expected iMovie 08 to find "all" my video files, as he stated it would. In fact, it only found and displayed my low resolution still camera videos that had been imported into iPhoto. (Does anyone actually use iPhoto for video files from DV or HD cameras?)
Granted, this is a really cool way to collect and view all those iPhoto videos that I've never really looked at before, but what I want to edit with iMovie is my DV video that is dispersed on a few drives and in many folders. I expected iMovie to search for and provide access to all of those files too.
Apparently the only way to access my DV video files is to either copy or move them. Neither is practical. Copying all that video would be a huge waste of disc space. Moving them would destroy all my existing FCP and iMovie HD projects.
Why can't iMovie find all my existing videos wherever they are and in whatever format? Then I could view their content and import (and thus copy) only the individual clips I want to use in an iMovie project. That would only duplicate the video files that are actually being used.
iMovie 08 has great potential for a consumer video editing tool, and it will obviously grow in features and capability over time. However, the release version is quite obviously a work in progress. Once again it is clear that Apple considers its software users to be beta testers...and they let us pay for the privilege.

+I can't import any video into iMovie. It imported 2 videos from iPhoto and that was all. I have about 30 videos in iPhoto. I've tried it all.+
Search trough this forum a bit. Some people have reported problems with certain characters in file names. It also only imports certain video formats. Some still cameras produce video clips in "unusual" formats that require conversion before iMovie '08 accepts it.

How to transfer videos from iPhoto to iMovie '11

I can't seem to understand how to put my videos from iphoto over to imovie.

Hi,
Can you say what you have tried?
I do it this way:
- after importing the videos into iphoto, close iphoto
- close imovie if you have it open
- reopen imovie
you should see a dialog box saying imovie is generating thumbnails. Allow it to do so.
I don't know why closing the applications, then restarting imovie works, but it may help you.

If iPhoto is presently working as expected, I would try some basic troubleshooting first, then restart the computer and try again.

How to view videos in iPhoto '08

Using iPhoto '08 with latest version for iMac OS X version 10.9.4. Had this problem previously and had to call apple support representative some time ago. It was corrected but has happened again. Don't remember what was changed to correct this issue. I believe I had to install optional package using the Snow Leopard disc. After that, don't remember...Any suggestions before I call Apple Support?

To add, when I do try to Play videos in IPhoto'08, QuicktimePlayer7 opens full screen but will not play content .

How to export videos de iphoto a imovie

Hi,
I have captured trought iphoto some videos from my iphone. When I tried to export that videos from iphoto to imovie, imovie crash (i have the last version)
Could somebody help me with this problem?
Thanks and regards

iMovie 8 accepts video in MPEG4, DV and MOV formats. If your video clips are from a still camera that records in another format, you will have to first convert the videos before iMovie 8 will recognize them. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do this. You may be able to batch convert clips; I have not done this and have converted them one at a time.
Just drag the clip from iPhoto onto the MPEG Streamclip window and select to convert it to one of the above formats; save the new clip, then put it into iMovie.

How to find photos in iPhoto which may not be there - but appear.

An acquaintance of mine has by accident deleted a bunch of photos from iPhoto, assuming he had already moved them into another folder. Somethings strange happened, as the still appear to accesible, but then again not really. I have promised to help him, and he explains his actions like the following:
1. I transferred my photos from a Fujifilm Finepix camera to a New Event (A) in iPhoto.
2. I then deleted the photos on the camera.
3. Then I made other new folders/events (B) with other names.
4. I moved the photos from folder A to these new folders B without any problems (I can still see these photos as small bitmaps, please see later)
5. Then I created another event, but by accident I gave it the same name as the folder A in which the photos originally were.
6. I then deleted this original folder A from which the photos had been removed, as I assumed it was empty.
7. Now - this process has caused that the photos have disappeared everywhere, and I cannot see the photos in folder B. However, empty frames of the photos appear there.
8. Also, when I press the Edit button at the bottom of iPhoto, all the photos appear at the top as small bitmaps, but they cannot be opened.
9. The photos cannot be seen in Finder, in Trash inside iPhoto or in the normal OS X Trash bin.
Now, the question is: are the photos to be found for recovery somewhere in iPhoto (or elsewhere) which we as amateurs do not know about - since they appear as thumbnails?
I hope somebody can help.
Thank you kindly.

first off we only have words to communicate with so it is important to use them correctly adn consistantly
You seem to be using folders and events interchangelably
In iPhoto folders are organizational elments that do not hold photos - they hold albums or other folders -- are you talking about events in every case or are you talking about finder folders (which do hold files that may contain photos) accessed via the finder and events accessed via iPhoto?
Thumbnails are totalklyt seperate from the main photo - iPhoto always has either two or three versions of a photo used for different purposes - a thumbnail and the oriiginal plus possibly a preview of the photo - these are each in seperat files (and in seperate folders within the iPhoto database) and any of the three can be missing due to datgabase errors or user actions - without exact and accurate information we can only make guesses about yoru situation
How were the photos moved from event (I assume) A to B
How did you delete event A
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
