How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?

Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I’d be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there’s a new version of iMovie and I can’t figure out how to get the movies in iPhoto into iMovie. So confused. Help!

within iMovie on the left side go to iPhoto Library, then movie the mouse slightly to the right where you see choices for events...faces...places....try selecting events and it should bring up what you may be looking for. From this point you can select photos or videos to move into your project. hope this helps

How to import Powerpoint movie into FCP

I have a powerpoint slideshow from a client and am needing to import it into FCP. In PPT I saved it as "Make Movie", and sought to import as .mov into FCP. When i try to open it, I get error , message, "Out of Memory." I have 27 GB of memory on the main drive, and the file is only 49MB. Any help would be appreciated.

First find a sharp object, then look for the soft spot on the inside of your wrist...
or if you must,
Export each slide as a still file and rework them in Motion. You probably need to set them on a background because NO ONE EVER build powerpoint for text safe in video.

Having trouble getting Quicktime movies into iMovie

Hi everyone. I'm on an iBook with OS 10.3.9 and I'm working with Quicktime 7.0.3 and iMovie 4.0.1. I've been making a student film, and I've been trying to drag or import Quicktime movies into iMovie to edit and use. However, when I attempt to do so, it doesn't work and I get a message that reads, "Can't open file (insert file name here); skipping it and continuing." Is there any way to fix this problem without having to get Quicktime Pro? Thanks.
Brian

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure the files are indeed mpegs. I tried out the program you sent, and it worked for the first clip when I converted it into DV. For some reason, when I tried importing the next two mpeg movies, I got a message that said, "The DV File (insert name here) is the wrong video standard and cannot be imported into this project." Any reason why that should be happening? Thank you very much for your first reply.

How to get FCE movie into iDVD?

Hi Folks!
I have a movie that I created in FCE and would like to burn it onto a DVD. When I open iDVD, I don't seem to have access to the movie file that I created. iDVD looks for the file inside iLife. Is there a way I can put the FCE movie into iLife, or is there another way I can burn a DVD from my FCE file?
Thanks very much!
Vixter

iDVD looks in your /Movies folder (not 'inside iLife' as you mentioned).
When you export your movie from FCE, save it to your /Movies folder. Then it will show up in the iDVD Media pane, under the Movies folder.
You can also import your movie into iDVD by doing *File > Import > Video* or by dragging the movie (from wherever it is saved on your hard drive) onto the _iDVD main window_ or a _drop zone_ in an iDVD template. Don't try to drop it into the iDVD Media pane - that won't work.

How to IMPORT QUICKTIME movies into ipod?

I've created a 2:00 video using fcp and exported it using Compressor as 'video for ipod'. the file is
10 mb.....
I can't get my ipod (60g color) to recognize the file either by 'importing' it or 'adding to library'...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

Ya everything has to go into iTunes first then it can go to the iPod. Apple has made it so iTunes is the portal and there normally isn't anyway to go straight from computer to iPod, at least not for things to be played ON the iPod.

Having touble importing Quicktime movies into FCP....

I keep getting an error message saying ;"File error; 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
Can anyone please help me with this? This should be the easiest thing and I'm having trouble. Very discouraging after spending so much on FCP
Thank you,
~Pat

You probably won't be able to do it in FCP - though maybe...
I generally use QTPro to convert stuff that I haven't already captured myself. However, if it is an odd codec that QTPro won't even do I'll use Handbrake or some other 3rd party app like that.
If you can use FCP I'd set up a BATCH EXPORT from the browser window and if you have multiple files you need converted just batch them all together. OH - maybe even compressor will do it.
Actually -- you have lots of options.
Let us know if you need more help. I'm not going step by step until you need it.

#7 DVD into FCP
Shane's Stock Answer #7:
To start, I will state that trying to capture any DVD you bought or rented, be it a Hollywood movie or exersize video, is illegal. I will not give you any tips on how to bypass copy protection. It is there for a reason.
To capture footage from a DVD, you have a couple options.
1) Route the DVD player to your DV camera or deck via the RCA cabling. Then you can put the footage you want ontp DV tape and have the benefit of timecode in case the need to recapture comes up.
2) You can get a great application called DVDxDV (Google it). This opens up the DVD and allows you to convert the video to DV/NTSC footage. And it allows you to only convert what you want by allowing you to mark in and out points. The free version puts a big watermark across the center of your footage, but if you pay $25 for the standard version, that goes away.
Or you can use Mac the Ripper or Mpeg Stream clip. These are free.

How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
they don't appear in the iTunes movie list! They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
What's the story! . . . . thanks f

Allan, I tried all you suggested. I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play. When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box. All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video! Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop? Am I missing something here?
Thanks again

How to export quicktime movie?

I was wondering how I can export a quicktime movie (camcorder film) to a smaller size but that can also be played on both Mac and PC computers? I tryed to export a couple time using encoding such as MPEG-4 but the movie accually was much smaller to view than the original and the second time I tryed to encode it at a bigger size, the movie played at the same sze as the original but at a lower quality because it was stretched.
Can anyone help me with this. I just want to export and save a quicktime movie into a playble formate for both mac and windows and also not taking up too much disk space either. Thank you.
Dorian Oddi

One could write a book (I did) that explains what all the codecs do and where and when to use them.
You need only need to know where the file will be viewed and its source format.
As Rick has pointed out, most new digital cameras capture in DV (Digital Video) and they are nearly instantly ready for software editing (like iMovie). QuickTime Pro can also edit the .dv files.
Once you determine where the file will be viewed (the Web for example) you'll get an understanding of methods to "compress" the file to fit the planned playback.
Three major factors that reduce the file size:
The new dimensions (720X480 DV files) to Web 320X240 (DV uses rectangular pixels).
Reduce the "frame rate". If the source was 30 frames per second you can usually remove half of them (15fps). Use more fps if the source has lots of motion.
The codecs used. Compressor-decompressor is handled by the delivery format (.mov or .mp4). Some are more efficient and offer better quality when enlarged during playback. MPEG-4 is the most modern and will soon become the next generation of DVD (currently MPEG-2).
This is where your question can only be answered by you. The quality can be adjusted (some codecs offer "sliders"; good better best while others allow you to set a data rate) and only you know what is acceptable.
Rick suggests a "one minute" export and I agree. Use various settings and data rates and use your eyes to decide what is acceptable.
Don't forget that part of your capture was audio. If your camera captures only mono formats making the export into stereo does nothing but double the size of the audio track. The Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format found in MPEG-4 exports does a great job of reducing the file size. You can control these settings at export, too.

Export Quicktime movie in FCP comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File

Does anyone know why when I Export Quicktime movie in FCP it comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File? I can still play it in Quicktime and it's possible to set the Quicktime Player as the default software, but it still says in my finder window that it is a Final Cut Pro Movie File.
Does anyone know if there are any settings for the clip to come out as a Quicktime Movie instead? Thank you!

+"The studio apps "brand" their exports. Actually kind of useful...+
In the words of the venerable Forest Gump, "Useful is as useful does" ... or something like that.
I actually use similar "icon" techniques in other areas of my workflow. But most of the time I just modify the file title for quick ID - I also use dashes & underscores to get things to stand out and stay at the top of lists etc.
But QT is my Go-To App for quick media reference and I have it set up to play almost all types off media when double clicked. I started doing it years ago when iTunes opened up every time I wanted to check a few seconds of an mp3 file.
I guess the best solution would have been for Apple to leave the "export FinalCut movie" option intact and simply add in an "export Quicktime movie" option as well. Or maybe add another drop down option for the tagging (branding).
At least we would have been able to make the workflow choices in-the-box rather than doing it with the OS.
Andy Neil,
I think using the OS is the better option rather than re-compressing your movie just so you can double click into QT.

How to insert a movie into a slideshow?

I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. I'm creating a slide show, and I want to insert a video into the slideshow, so that I manually advance through the slides (I know how to set that up), and then manually start the movie, after which I manually step through the remaining slides.
The problem is that I can't find a way to get the movie into the slideshow. I created the movie in iMovie HD 6.0.3, and I have exported it as a self-contained QuickTime movie using QuickTime Pro. I just can't find a way to get the movie into the slideshow. Is it even possible with iPhoto 6.0.6?
Thanks!

Movie files can't be added to slideshows in iPhoto 6. That wasn't a feature until iPhoto 8 (09).
You can use a 3rd party slideshow creator app like PhotoPresenter which as over 20 animated themes, some of which can be viewed in this demo page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

How to put iTunes movies into iCloud

I have several movies in my iTunes account that are shown as not being backed up on my iTunes account. How do I get these movies into my iCloud account so that I can delete them off of my iMac? (They are taking up a lot of storage space)

If you purchased them from the iTunes store, they are already in iCloud. If not, you can't put them there. Before you delete them, check iTunes in the Cloud availability by country for movies here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5085 to be sure it is available in your country. If so, you can redownload them in the future as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
The only risk you are taking is that in order to download them in the future them must still be available in the iTunes store, and it must be permitted by the studio (you might want to check each movie in the iTunes store to be sure redownloading is permitted).
