I can't import my pictures to my movie

my iMovie was working fine but I deleted the movie and I want to create another one but now I can't import the same pictures to this movie. I don't know what's wrong with imovie.

The iMovie forum is here

Be sure to tell them what version of iMovie and the OS you are using too.

  • Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work?

    Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work? I have already spent many hours trying to create a photo album but came across more pictures to choose from. However, I don't know how to get these new pictures into the "list" of potential photos for the book in progress. I can't stand the thought of having to start over by selecting the 2000 photos plus these new ones and starting all over again!?!

    I have found more pictures that I want to include. They are, say, in a folder on my desktop. I can't simply pull a picture (or the folder) from the desktop and insert it into the album or the list of potential pictures across the top.
    to import into an existing book (which is just a special kind of album) simply drag the photos from their source (the desktop in your example) to the book in the source pane on the left (not to the book in the library window but the book icon in the source pane
    Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book
    I also tried imported the pictures, from the desktop folder, into iphoto, creating new event. I don't think there is a way of accessing that new event from the album in work/progress.
    Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book in the source pane on the left
    I also tried merging the new "event" into an existing event that I had selected for the album. That doesn't work either???
    That is correct - there is no connection between the source of the book and the book - the book stands alone and you add direct to it in the source pane exactly as you would add to any other album

  • I can't import my picture from my camera to iPhoto '11

    Can you explain what happens? Do you connect a camera or card reader, drag & drop photos from the Desktop and iPhoto does what?

  • How can i import mpg files in i movie

    how can i import mpg files in i movie?

    iMovie cannot edit mpg files, unles they come directly from a supported camera.
    I would suggest that you use a free third party app to convert it.
    Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is free.
    Drag you mpg clip into MPEG Streamclip.
    Then, FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
    Choose Apple Intermediate Codec, and save it where you can find it. You should be able to import this file into iMovie, using the FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE command.
    Note: If your file is an MPEG2 clip, you may need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. Don't buy it unless you have to. It costs about $20. You just have to install the component. MPEG Streamclip will use it in the background.

  • When I try to import pictures of my daughter, what gets imported is about 50 pictures of world flags, then masks.  I can't import any pictures now.  I am on MacBook Pro.  I called Applecare and honestly got 'gee I don't know' for an answer.

    I can't import pictures into iPhoto.  (f I can right click and there is a choice to put in iPhoto that works fine) .  No matter what happens, even when I download them first, all that imports is a mass of pictures of flags and masks, and they are the only things that are imported, no matter what picture I try to import into my librarly.  Can anyone help me with this?  I live in a small down 5 hours from an apple store so I can't just take it in and get somene to look at it.
    I am on a Macbook Pro.  I called AppleCare and all i got was 'gee, I don't know'.  Everything was fine until about 3 weeks ago

    Elaine.  What are you trying to import from?  Are you inserting a camera memory card in the slot on the side of your mac? Are you connecting your camera to the mac through a USB cable? It sounds like you can see your pictures, where do you see them, on the memory card that you open on your desktop, or are you using software that came with your camera?

  • Can't import mij pictures

    I have lightroom 4,4. today i wanted to import mij pictures from mij camera (canon 50D) as I did many times before, yet today it didn't work he said: i don't recognise the type. but they are the same as usual just raw pictures. what can I do???? Help!!!

    Are you able to work with these files with some other RAW converter (you can download a free trial of Corel Aftershot Pro or Capture One) ?
    If yes, there is a problem with Lightroom and we would need more details on the error message (screenshot etc.).
    If no, likely the files are corrupt on the memory card, or got corrupted during transfer. Try copying them again.

  • Can't Import Tif pictures in A2

    A2 trial does not see and does not import Tif pictures from a cd, so i have to import from the cd to iPhoto and than export to A2.
    Any suggestion to import directly in A2?
    Thanks!

    solved. you need to quit and re-enter clicking to folder to get pictures, while it seems that A2 cannot import clicking import button when you are already working with it.

  • Can't import PNG, No File in Movie

    I've just opened a project to continue working on it and I get a "no movie in file" message - and also if I click on the actual sequence to try to open it, followed by an out of memory message. (I've worked on project previously with no memory problems). All my movie clips seem to open - but I also get a file import error if I try to import any of the PNGs I use for the title screen or credits. My mac seems to have gone wonky since the last security update, as my dreamweaver has missing icons on the toolbar and my itunes has missing picture images when in the store (they just show broken link icon). I guess this is all related. I've tried disk utility and keychain first aid - but no joy.
    I could really do with working on this FCP project but in its present condition it looks like I'd have to recreate it - but I cant import a simple PNG. All my previous versions of the project do the same thing. Anyone any ideas?

    Hi thanks for the reply - the PNGs are RGB fireworks files - files that I use in every project but now I can't import them. I've tried the loading older autosaves, ditching the FCP prefs and render files. No joy - any other ideas?
    If I hadn't imported these PNGs before I'd think it wasn't possible, but I know they should import... I could try bringing these in in a different format - but that wouldn't solve why I can't import and of course my sequence file gives the "no movie in file" error which is strange.
    I've done quite a bit of tweaking to this project so I'm hoping I can get into it somehow and not have to start recreating everything... OMG.

  • I can't import my pictures into iPhoto?

    Normally I just plug in my phone or camera, go to iPhoto, and hit import, but as of today it won't work. Earlier today I plugged in my iPhone 4, and it wouldn't let me import my photos. Thinking it was just my phone being slow I unplugged it and went on with my day. And now tonight (after being at a family party) I plugged my camera into my computer, but it won't let me import those photos either! I've never had this problem before and am wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what's wrong? Thanks!

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Lost iPhone - Can someone import its pictures?

    Long story short, I have been using my girlfriends old iPhone that she no longer uses, just with wi-fi since I don't have a smart phone.
    Because it has no cell reception, I didn't activate "Find my iPhone" because it would be virtually useless without cell reception.
    I believe someone stole it, but what I was wondering is if they could access my photos and upload them to their computer? I know when I plug my iPhone into my computer it automatically brings an option up to import all photos. Will this happen if they plug the iPhone into their computer? Will they be able to import all of my stuff?
    It had a passcode if that is of any help. An iPhone 4s iOS 7

    You mention the "iPhone app", do you mean the Find My iPhone app?  If so, that does not turn on the service, instead that app is only used to find other lost devices (or test yours if not lost).  You need to have turned on the Find My iPhone service in Settings>icloud.
    Without the device on hand, you can search for it (assuming FMiP was turned on) by using a computer browser to log into icloud.com.  In the Find My iPhone page, you can see if the map locates the device.  HOWEVER, if you don't know the account that the lost device is connected to (the ID you would have to log in with using the browser), then you are out of luck.  Only you can figure out the address, no one here can.
    If you can log into icloud.com and the FMiP page does not list your device, then you are either using the wrong account or the device is not configured to use the FMiP service.

  • When I disconnect my camera, it still appears in iphoto and i can't import the pictures

    I have been successfully downloading images from my camera into iPhoto.....until recently.  For whatever reason, when I plugged the camera and clicked to import, I got a message saying that it was unable to import the images.  Then when I unplugged the camera, the device icon did not go away and dashed outlines of the images remained.  When I shut down and restart iPhoto, the icon and these dashed image outlines remain.  I have been able to connect the camera to another Mac and the images download fine.  It seems like something has been corrupted on my machine and I need a way to clear it.  I am using a MacBook Air running Leopard 10.6.8.  To the best of my knowledge nothing has changed.

    Try trash the following file
    com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
    from HD/Library/ Caches
    and restart your mac.

  • I can't import my pictures using the apple connector

  • Can't import videos into imovie from movie files

    I am having difficulty importing .mov files into iMovie.  When I go to file>import>videos, I can find my .mov files I want to move to iMovie.  It says it is converting.  The files show up in my iMovie folders in Finder but no thumbnails are showing up in iMovie.  Any suggestions?

    The audio codec looks fine. The video codec is h.264 which is usually good for iMovie, but there can be variants that iMovie cannot handle. Another interesting thing about the h.264 is that it is anamorphic, which means it stores as 1440x1080, but simulates 1920x1080 by using rectangular pixels.
    If I were trying to make this work, I would try converting it using a free tool called MPEG Streamclip, available here. I use the Beta version. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Then click FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the audio codec unchanged.
    For Frame size, choose 1920x1080.
    Check Interlaced Scaling, and for Field Dominance use Upper Field First, but if it looks bad, you can try checking "Deinterlace Video".
    Click Make Movie. Give it a name and store it where you can find it.
    Now try importing into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
