How to properly manage videos between iPhone - iPhoto - iTunes

Maybe Im going about this all wrong, but this is what I do.  I take pics and videos on my iphone.  Eventually I plug it into the computer and iPhoto asks me to import.  I select all the items I want to import so all gets put into iPhoto.
iTunes is a different matter.  A few months ago I saw my iCloud account was full.  So I realized that I could back up my iphone to iTunes and then import everything to iPhoto and after importing, tell iPhoto to delete those videos and photos from my Camera Roll.  No big deal cause its all imported into iPhoto.  Not only that but now my camera roll was not so full, so my iCLoud was not packed.
However I notice that videos are not backed up.  In other words, when Itunes backs up my stuff, what I mean is, all my pictures get moved out of Camera Roll and into an album, such as Last Imported or any event that I created for it.  But only pics are present, no videos.  Thus I have to go to iPhoto to view my videos.
I guess it makes sense, otherwise my iphone storage itself would fill up quite quickly.
Is this the best way to manage this?
The one thing that worries me, is that now my MBA is filling up and I have this 27GB .... oh wait, its a 27GB iMovie file!  Man Im confused...

Cannot address your Mac questions, but as far as iCloud is concerned, you are correct that video files are not in the iCloud backup. Those are only found in a regular iTunes backup. And video files are handled on a different tab in iTunes, not the same one as photos. You also would access the photos in the Photo library, while you access the videos in the Videos app.

    I have pics and video on my iphone. Pics transfer great thru photostream, but not video. How do I transfer video to my macbook?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream doesn't include video. Attach your device to your computer with a USB cable and import the video using your photo application (i.e. iPhoto)

  • How to properly delete videos from iphone 6 (iOS 8)?

    Hi,
    I'm using iPhone 6, 128 GB, iOS 8.1.2.
    I have recently made one observation concerning recording videos on my iphone.
    When I record videos, and then subsequently delete them, I can't find them in the photos app. However I notice my hard disk space is still reduced. I have to purchase this software called iMazing, and realized that I have tons of previously "deleted" videos, showing up in one of the DCIM\10x_APPLE folders. Only after deleting the videos from there did my hard disk space return back to normal.
    Anyone else has this problem, with videos not actually getting deleted and taking up hard disk space in the phone? Is there a way to prevent this from happening, or are there any mitigating actions (apart from using iMazing)?
    Please advise, thanks in advance.

    They put in a trash can for photo and video.
    you can find your deleted video in recently deleted under album.
    delete from there to ensure permanent delete, otherwise it'll stay for 30 days.
    I hate when this happens. Deleted many apps to release space, ah!

    I had a av cord that plugged into the iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 but its not compatible with the 5 connector. Right now i have to email myself the videos in small segments and open and save on the iPad 2 to burn them.  Is there an easier way to burn these from my iPhone 5 or through air play on apple tv?
    Thanks

    Connect the phone by USB to the computer, import with image capture, iPhoto or whatever application you use to import movies, drop it into iTunes.

    From the box the iphone came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
    You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTunes
    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

  • How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

    How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?  Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

    Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original.  That should get the original video file exported.  Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player.  If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

  • How to watch .avi video in iphone?

    Hi I use win Vista and I just bought a new iphone. Everything works well. Only one question is : how to watch .avi video in iphone. I download a lot of video in that format but cannot add them into intunes, therefore cannot sync into iphone. I search the web and know the problem is quickplayer doesn't support this video format. Is there any solution to tranform .avi video format to any format which quickplayer support?
    Another question is : I bought some TV show DVD ( like Grey's anatomy, House, etc.) How can I sync those films into itunes then sync into my iphone, so I can enjoy it at lunch time at work.
    Thanks for you help in advance.

    The iPhone cannot play AVI videos. You'll need to convert them before you can load and play them on your iPhone. If you search the Using iTunes for Windows forum for "video convert", you'll find a lot of threads on this subject already.
    I bought some TV show DVD ( like Grey's anatomy, House, etc.)
    Sorry, but DVDs are copy-protected and cannot legally be converted. It's a violation of the Discussions terms of use to talk about such ripping.

    If I consult my website in vertical position, it's ok but, If I turn my tablet, all the hyperlinks and all general visualization are wrong.
    How I can properly handle both views?
    PS: I'm sorry for my bad english

    Could you share the site URL so we may check at our end? Also could you share some screenshots explaining the 'wrong hyperlinks and visualization'.

  • How can i share apps between iphone

    how can i share apps between iphones?

    If they are syncing to the same iTunes library you can just sync them to the other phone using iTunes.  (However, if the other phone has been syncing to a different computer/iTunes library don't do this or you will create problems as iTunes will delete all iTunes media off the phone and replace it with the media in the new library when you sync.)

  • How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

    how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

    Hello andrewmarkp,
    As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
    iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
    If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
    To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
    Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
    The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
    To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.
    Cheers,
    Allen
