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.

  • How to update videos from iPhoto in iMovie

    I started a project in iMovie 11 and imported my videos in iPhoto but now I have new ones to import. If there is an update solution, it escapes me. I haven't found a way to access them.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

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

    How to transfer video from macbook to ipad2

    Haryati-
    I found your question while researching another one on the same topic.  I found it hard to believe that iPad videos could not be transfered to a computer!
    I made a short video on my iPad 2.  It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
    Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES.  The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected".  I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
    Then I tried it with Aperture.  The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black.  However an Exported Version played correctly.

    Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes.  In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

    Drag it into the open iTunes application window. You may need to use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 first.

  • 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.

  • HT201302 how to transfer video from computer to ipad

    How to transfer video from computer to ipad?

    Does the video meet the format requirements?
    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Another way. 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; DSCN0164.jpg).
    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. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
