IMovie'09 can't see iPhoto'09 videos

I have a bunch of videos in my iPhoto'09 library that I took with my digital camera. I wanted to organize and edit the videos with iMovie but almost 1/2 of the videos I have in iPhoto'09 do not appear in iMovie'09.
Any suggestions?

Check out the following thread. You'll find a fix that has worked for me and others.

  • In iMovie, I can't see my iPhoto videos in the event library. Why ? this is after updating to 10.7.4

    in iMovie, I can’t see my iPhoto videos in the event library. Why ? this is after updating to 10.7.4
    also, if I want to use a picture in my movie, it says 'Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list.'
    It never use to do this.

    JimHdk,
    thanks for your reply, but why I could wtach the videos on land mode using the ios 6 and why I can't watch them using this new ios 7 on land mode?

  • Why I can't see Apple website videos on Samsung tablet? Used many browsers, same result...

    I could not find a website issues community and this one was the closest I could find. If this needs to be moved to a different community, please do so.
    I realize it's cross platforms, but web browsing should be the same for everyone, no matter what device is used.
    I can watch Apple website videos just fine on Windows/Chrome browser (or IE, Firefox) but can't on Samsung Android/Chrome browser (also tried Firefox, Opera, Samsung browser).
    Other websites embedded videos are working (i.e. youtube, vimeo, forums etc.) so far it is only the Apple website embedded videos that are not working.
    Any idea why?

    If it's any help, here is what Samsung Support says:
    Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Alberto'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
    Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK1125603600195X
    Alberto: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung technical support. How may I assist you?
    Alex: Hi there
    Alex: Why I can't see Apple website videos on Samsung tablet? Used many browsers, same result...
    Alex: I can watch Apple website videos just fine on Windows/Chrome browser (or IE, Firefox) but can't on Samsung Android/Chrome browser (also tried Firefox, Opera, Samsung browser). Other websites embedded videos are working (i.e. youtube, vimeo, forums etc.) so far it is only the Apple website embedded videos that are not working. Any idea why?
    Alberto: Hello, I understand that you want to see apple website videos on Samsung tablet, is it correct?
    Alex: correct
    Alberto: Thank you for the confirmation.
    Alberto: What is the model number of your tablet? It starts with GT/SM which can be found on the rear panel.
    Alex: Don't have it with me but it's the Tab S 8.4
    Alex: Same goes for my phone, Galaxy S5
    Alberto: Okay,Do you see any error message while browsing?
    Alex: nope, no error, it just won't play any video on apple website, ALL other websites videos are plaing OKare
    Alex: playing Ok is what I meant
    Alex: and this is the same for my tablet AND my phone
    Alex: devices are updated to the latest software bla, bla
    Alberto: Alright, please restart the tablet once.
    Alex: scale of 1 to 10 on tech advance level, I am at 7-8, just so you don't take me through power recycle and such
    Alex: you just did
    Alex: it's not that
    Alberto: Could you give me a few minutes while I gather the information for you?
    Alex: you can grab a galaxy tablet or a phone and try for yourself and yo'll probably notice it won't work...
    Alberto: I appreciate your time and patience.
    Alberto: As you are able to see other website's embedded videos on your tablet, it could be an issue with the compatibility of Apple website.
    Alberto: There should be no issue with the trablet as other websites are working fine.
    Alex: Can you transfer me to your Guru tech person to see if I can get a more elaborate answer and maybe a fix for this?
    Alex: Then why the apple videos work fine on windows PC and the ONLY ones not working are Android devices?
    Alberto: I have rechecked the information.
    Alberto: As you are facing an issue only with a particular web site there should not be issue with the Samsung tablet.
    Alberto: Also tablet is working fine with other web sites which indicates that there is an issue with that particular web site.
    Alberto: There is no separate setting on the tablet to access any particular web site.
    Alex: This much I figured, problem is what is causing it and how it can be solved? Again, issue is only on Android devices. PC Windows and iOS devices work good
    Alberto: I am afraid; Samsung do not have information about the issues with a particular web site.
    Alberto: I would have surely helped, if there had been information available with me.
    Alex: Yes, I was afraid you'll say this...
    Alex: Do you have an android device there? Try it yourself and see it will not work. Whatever it is IT IS A PROBLEM!!!
    Alberto: I understand your requirement; however, it will not be possible for me to check this from here.
    Alberto: You need to contact the web site support for further assistance.
    Alberto: Is there anything I might be able to assist you with?
    Alex: yeah, it went as expected, no fix for this... do you have a level 2 or 3 or 4 tech there?
    Alberto: I will transfer this chat to my supervisor.
    Alberto: Please be online while I transfer this chat.
    Alex: sure, thanks
    Alberto: Not a problem.

    Sammy: I am going through the previous chat session.
    Alex: Ok, thanks
    Sammy: You are welcome.
    Sammy: I appreciate your time and patience.
    Sammy: I see that you are unable to access Apple website videos on your tab.
    Alex: and on my S5
    Sammy: As you are able to access the videos from all the other web sites, it is not an issue with Samsung tab and Samsung do not have any control on this issue.
    Sammy: It is an issue with that particular web site and you need to contact the web site support for further assistance.
    Sammy: There is no separate setting on the tab to access a particular web site.
    Alex: Yes, I need to do that. At this point it's the technical aspect that bothers me, not that I can't watch the video, I can use my iPhone or my PC to watch the video, but why the Android can't?
    Alex: Thank you Alberto
    Alex: or Sammy
    Sammy: I understand your requirement; however, we do not have any information about this issue.
    Alex: Ok, thanks
    Sammy: I apologize for the inconvenience.

  • I don´t see the iPhoto library in imovie, how can a i use the videos of iPhoto? Thank you

    I don´t see the iphoto library in imovie, how can i use the videos of iphoto, how can i get de library in imovie?
    Thank you

    Is there any chance you launched iPhoto while the external hard drive was not available? If so you may have created a virtual EHD - if so unmount your EHD and in the finder go menu ==> go to folder == /Volumes and if you see your EHD there drag it to the desktop - then remount it and launch iPhoto and see if you see both libraries

  • IMovie 11 does not see iPhoto videos

    Using iLife 09, iMovie showed my iPhoto videos in the lower pane event browser.
    Upgraded to iLife 11.
    iPhoto spent some time converting my library - but it completed; and seems fine.
    iMovie, however, no longer shows the iPhoto videos. The text says no video clips match the current selection - but this never changes no matter what is selected.
    My previous iMovie projects all still exist; and seem fine. The videos that were added from the event browser in '09 are also still fine within those projects.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions for fixing this.

    John Cogdell said:
    As I always have my preference set to copy items to the iPhoto Library, hopefully I won't see any problems. Once I'm running with iLife '11 (hopefully some time on Monday) I will let you know how things go.
    Neville, just to let you know (as promised), everything went very smoothly with my iLife '11 upgrade. All my iPhoto videos showed up in iMovie '11 within the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library. But, as I mentioned earlier, my preferences are set to copy photos to the iPhoto Library.
    After installing iLife '11, my first step was to open iPhoto and allow the database to update. Once I was satisfied that iPhoto was running OK, I then opened iMovie and waited for it to do all the upgrading. That went smoothly also, other than a warning about a Centred Title missing from one of my iPhoto Videos and that the video wouldn't play without it. I haven't bothered to track that down yet - the video wasn't identified in the warning message.
    I appreciate this doesn't really help you solve your issue, but it does help to confirm that things seem to work OK when the iPhoto preference is set to the option I've selected (copy photos). Note that my iPhoto Library is located on the internal drive. I have a small number of photos that I keep in separate folders outside of the iPhoto Library - mainly stuff I've done for other people that I don't want cluttering up iPhoto (although I realise that these can be hidden in iPhoto).

  • IMovie 11 can't see my videos/pictures.

    I recently purchased an external harddrive. I then moved all my video and picture files to that drive, hoping I did it properly and actually grabbed all my video and pictures.
    Now that I start up iMovie, I don't see all the footage I had before.
    I also read on another thread that iMovie will not work that way? Is that true? Does the media need to be on my iMac?
    Please help. Thank you.

    I was away for a few weeks so sorry for the delay in getting back to this topic. I did some more reading on how imovie and iphoto works. I think I understand now that when I first connect my camera (either video or image) that iphoto or imovie will open. Then, if I transfer the data using imovie/iphoto that the files are saved in an imovie/iphoto file. I've also read that once the files are in an iphoto/imovie folder, its hard to move them around. That concerns me for 2 reasons:
    1) I believe I've already screwed things up and I'm not sure how to fix it,
    2) My wife likes Adobe and wants to use that program.
    The problem is, in the past 4 years that I've owned my iMac, I may have moved some pics to an external harddrive or 2. Wether I did that move correctly or not...I can't be sure. However, if imovie or iphoto doesn't see the pics, then I won't know they exist to even try and fix the path so imovie/iphoto sees them.
    Basically, I would need to look into each of my external harddrives and see what I have. I guess I would have to direct imovie/iphoto to see the files there...but if it doesn't work that way...then how do I fix that?
    I hope I didn't confuse the issue...please let me know if I should reclarify.
    Thanks

  • Can't see iPhoto movies from the iMovie Event Browser

    Has anyone figured this out yet? In iMovie (iLife 09), clicking on "iPhoto Videos" in the event browser gives me the "No matching video" message. All my video clips in iPhoto are .avi files from digital cameras.
    The iMovie documentation says that it may not see movie file formats unless they are compatible, and does not list avi as a compatible format.
    Can anyone please confirm that iMovie does or does not "see" avi clips from iPhoto? Do I need to convert all the avi clips to .mov files to get iMovie to see them properly?

    I spend a few hours on the phone with apple today. I worked my way up to an expert who was a wizard. A few things: 1) he knew about the work-around (turning off the sound in your slideshows), however it does not seem to work for everybody. 2) I had the same problem as reported on this original post, but my problem worsened and iMovie was unable to completely start up. I wont explain all the details here, but there is a known limitation with the conduit between iPhoto and iMovie 09: if you have a great number of movie files in iPhoto, when you try to pull these movies up in iMovie from the Event Library, there is a major bottle neck. iMovie tries to source these files via iPhoto and if you have too many movies in iPhoto (I had 1,595) or the individual movie files are very large, iMovie will stall, unexpectedly quit, or as in my case, completely fail to start. The remedy: export all your movie out of iPhoto to a folder on your desktop and then import them directly into iMovie. (as stated a few other times above). Yes, this is a limitation, however, it's actually faster and you will be less likely to have a issue of a broken video link in the future. Good Luck.

  • 60G video iPod with +15G free can't see iPhoto albums, -50 error

    Everything had been running smoothly in my 60G video iPod with photos and videos and music. With more than 15G free on my iPod, space isn't an issue. For reference, I have iPhoto 6 and iTunes 6, both completely updated (as is QuickTime). I've deleted the iPod photo cache on the hard drive. And, because of a previous iPhoto problem, I've rebuilt my system from the hard drive up recently.
    Here's the problem: I don't know why iTunes "suddenly" can't see the iPhoto albums. It can see the iPhoto library, but won't let me select specific albums. I don't want all my photos on my iPod, plus it's a +30G photo library so it wouldn't all fit anyway. All I know about what happened right before this problem is, and I quote:
    Q: "What happened?"
    A: "That beachball thing spun for like 5 minutes so I restarted."
    Q: "What application were you using at the time?"
    A: "Who knows?"
    (To which I'm desperately thinking "Count to 10, you're the adult...count to 10, you're the adult...")
    In hunting around on my hard drive, I can also see that there are a bunch of random gifs and jpegs in the Pictures folder. It looks like the Apple website blew up, piece by piece (a gif for each tab across the top, for example) along with some widgets and something I don't recognize.
    After deleting my iPod photo cache, I could get iTunes to start updating the iPod again, but now it doesn't see anything but the whole iPhoto library. I tried selecting the whole library, but I got the -50 error again (can't update, error unknown). I use the iPod extensively as a traveling photo album, and now (because I deleted the iPod photo cache I assume) I don't have ANY pictures.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Can't see IPhoto library in IMovie media tab

    I'm unable to view my IPhoto library in either IMovie or IDVD. They are all the most recent versions...6.06.
    How can I fix this?

    The information that iMovie and iDVD uses from iPhoto is stored in a file in your library called AlbumData.xml. If this file becomes corrupt, other programs will have trouble seeing your photos. This file is only written to by iPhoto, never read back. You can try dragging it out of your library folder (without iPhoto running) and then run iPhoto, make a change to something in your library, and iPhoto will recreate a new AlbumData.xml file. If something goes wrong, you can always drag the original file back into your library.
    The online help for iPhoto Library Manager has a good section on this here: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Documentation/iPLM/pgs/albumdata.html

  • Still can't see iPhoto in iMov Media Browser after deleting "&'s" and prefs

    Combed the discussions - many references to this problem - I tried deleting ALL question mark symbols "?" from ALL my iPhotos - an arduous task but I know I got them all - then deleted the preferences and rebuilt iPhoto with command option - everything in it... Still no luck viewing my iPhoto libraries in iMovie - so can't increase duration times because "show photo settings" grays out - does ANYbody have a fix?
    thanks!

    I saw your post earlier when I was having the same difficulty. A recent post suggested rebuilding the iPhoto Library using Shift Option when opening the application. I tried that and it created a new iPhoto Library_2 folder. That folder showed up in the Media Browser, so I just imported all the photos in my previous iPhoto folder into the new one. It worked for me; I hope it works for you.

  • IMovie 11 can't "see" events library on external drive

    I can't reconnect iMovie with my Events Folder. I was successfully using iMovie 11 with the Events and Projects foldersstored on an external drive (for space reasons.) Then I slipped up trying to back up the Events library in Dropbox (I forgot to hold down the Alt. key to make it copy, instead of moving the folder.) I immediately shifted it back and cancelled the operation. But now iMovie can't "see" the Events library and I get the little yellow triangle on the projects showing it can't locate the source files.
    I'm using the blue iMovie browser setting that shows all files and I can see, and access, the Events folder on the external drive through the Mac Finder. The Events folder is sitting on the top level of my external drive. I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I dont have any answers for you, but I do have the same problem as you on my brand new mac, which is using an iPhoto library from my old Mac. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto database but it doesnt help.  iMovie is getting stuck on trying to create the thumbnails from iPhoto.  It says "the movie file "clipXXXXX cannot be found, without this file, the movie cannot play properly. "  Even though that file exists in the iPhoto library masters folder.  It offers to allow me to cancel or seach, and when I search to it, the iPhoto library is grayed out as an option to search in.  I also tried to manually move the file out of the iPhoto library to the Movies directory, but that doesnt help either. 

  • Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto

    Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?
    Rick

    Maybe this will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full sizes
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • I can't see my skype video contacts

    Hi 
    I have a mac 10.5  and  latly I cannot see my contact video  on skype (I can  hear the audio) ?
    Thank you
    Benny

    I had this problem.
    Check that you are signed into icloud (see system preferences/ icloud) and itunes with the same account (I am not sure itunes really matters).
    Then you need to be signed into icloud on your device using the same user name/ password. It worked for me.
    I have ended up with two accounts and there's nothing I can do about it now. get them muddled and it wont sync.
    I totally forgot how many places I have to be signed in. I wasn't finding much help on these boards but it did set me investigating my settings.
