IMovie 11 does not see all iPhoto videos

As many guys are having different problems, but none as mine, I'm creating this new topic.
I just bought a MacBook Pro, and it came with iLife 11. I copied my pictures/movies folder to the Pictures system folder and imported all to iPhoto (but first, I unchecked the "copy to iPhoto library" option).
Doing so, iMovie didn't show the movies. After searching a little, I deleted all the Events, checked the "copy to library" back and imported the files again.
Now, I can see the videos there, but not all. Most interesting is that almost all videos are MP4 H.264, and some appears, others don't (they came from the same camera). Some other MPG MPEG-1/2 aren't there too.
I didn't migrated from previous versions of iLife. I installed QuickTime 7. The "copy to iPhoto library" is checked. I don't know what to do!
Thanks.

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 does not see iPhoto Libraries

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and imported my photos and videos into iPhoto. Now iMovie does not see them. If I import them to iPhoto on my iPad I see them in iMovie on the iPad. I expect the same from the MacBook Pro. What is up? Am I doing something Wrong?

IMovie '08 not displaying my iPhoto videos

For some or other reason iMovie '08 does not display my iPhoto videos. Even when I do a seperate import using the file import feature and browse my iPhoto video library, do I still not end up with a selection of my imported iPhoto videos. What is causing this? I thought at first the movie files' format might not be compatible but using finder I can clearly see that the movies recorded from my Sony DSC-N1 camera are MPEG file formats. Shouldn't these files show up automatically in iMovie if they are in my iPhoto library?
I have created separate albums in iPhoto, making sure that the movies that ere in the events section are also in the corresponding album but still the movies do not show up in iMovie. This is extremely frustrating so I hope someone could help me with this one.
Many thanks.

Shouldn't these files show up automatically in iMovie if they are in my iPhoto library?
No. The N1, like most Cyber-shot digital cameras by Sony, employs MPEG VX (MPEG-1) storage of video clips. MPEG-1 files are "playback only" QT supported. This means that they are neither "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 nor are they conversion compatible by the QT structure alone. (I.e., QT applications will drop the audio track if used to convert the clips.) In this case use any of the readily available MPEG-based, third-party applications available on line -- iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. to convert these files to an iMovie '08 compatible compression format. Non-proprietary versions of DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 compression format have all been found to be "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 as long as the file container does not contain "extraneous" tracks (e.g., a "Tween" track in the MOV file container). DO NOT IMPORT Apple Animation or Apple Video files. They will import and edit in an apparently normal fashion but will only export the audio with a "black" screen display.

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

Hello.
The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.

Front Row does not see my iPhoto library

Hello,
on Tiger, latest version iMac C2D 2,16, Front row 1.3.1 does not see my iPhoto 6.0.6 library. I trashed pref for Front Row, nothing better. Library is in Pictures.
It works Ok with others for music and video.
Does anyone of you have an idea?
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
François

Hello,
solved : you need to change some keywords. In fact it looks like I had a blank key word in iPhoto.
found on article here : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1192?viewlocale=fr_FR

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Unfortunately, importing from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is harder than it should be but there is an efficient solution. The secret to creating a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog from an existing iPhoto image library is to download and install the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. This sounds completely bizarre, but Photoshop Lightroom lacks the ability to import directly from iPhoto and iPhoto lacks a merge with Lightroom feature. Although Lightroom cannot import images from your existing iPhoto library, Photoshop Elements 12 can!
Even the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12 has the ability to import from iPhoto and then Lightroom 5 can import from Elements. Photoshop Elements 12 is ironically the missing link for those looking to move their images from iPhoto into Lightroom.

IMovie "does not see" videos from my Canon Vixia HF M32 and shuts down. Any ideas?

Lately, I have not been able to download videos as I used to from my Canon Vixia HF M32. My iMovie would not see the camera and would often close unexpectedly. It then gives an incomprehensible error message. I have no idea why this is happening or what to do. I was able to dowload some videos using a pc and a different software. Any clue?
Thanks

iMovie HD (version 5 and 6) works only with Firewire cameras, DV or HDV.
Footage from other types of cameras can be converted for use. Try VoltaicHD and convert to Apple Intermediate Codec (1080i or 720p) for HD footage or DV for SD (Standard Definition) footage.
If all you want to do is creating a DVD, go for SD footage in the DV format. A DVD is always SD.

IWeb does not see my iPhoto library

For some reason the iWeb media browser does not see my iPhot's. It does see my iTunes and iMovies. It says "open iPhoto 2 or above". I do. It still does not see them.
I repaired permissions.
I deleted prefs (iPhoto and iWeb)
I know I can drag from iPhoto... but I would rather use it as intended.
Any ideas?
Randy

I just upgrade to iLife6 and am also having the same problem. It keeps telling me to launch iPhoto 2 or later.
I've tried all the suggestions in this thread and still iLife nor desktop prefs will see my iPhoto library. I thought it might be because my library was in on an external drive, but creating a library in my pictures folder didn't work either.
I have no items in my Movies folder. I guess my next option is to re-create my library. Yuck! And see if there is something corrupt in there that I'm not seeing. I will hate to loose my albums though, but I guess it's worth it if it fixes the problem.
Oh yeah, another thing. I just realized that the desktop prefs never saw my library even when I was running iLife5. Not sure what is going on.

N8 video editor does not see my songs/videos

Hi
after buying my n8 a month ago I started exploring the video editor and immediatly a problem appeared:
I open a new project to create a video and the video editor
does show e some videos captured with the device, so I choose a video
, trim it and so on, add some transitions and texts in between and
here the proble begins - I go to "choose a music for background" and the
list of song availiablefor adding is empty, that means the N8 does not see
any mp3/ogg/acc etc files which are supposed to be added to the video film i'm making=(
However it is possible to make an audio record with the audio recorded and such file can be seen
as a possible for background music in the video-editor.
So, what can I do make N8 video-editor to see files from my music collection stored on the phone so that i could
use my songs in y video-films created on MY N8?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the solution is found:
if your videoeditor does not see your mp3 and video files and thus you cant create adn edit movies do this - place all your music files into Sound Clips foldr and not in the folder you usually like to store them in; place video files to your Video Clips -> thus the video editor will see all the files.
Happy **bleep** new year everyone...coz being on new year in a hospital is sucks=(

Karsten, I mentioned "IPHOTO to IMOVIE" photo transfer.
In fact, you did not.
We had NO idea if it was a photo or a pocket-camera movie you were trying to import from iPhoto.
You also didn't describe what happens when you try to import.

this just started happening when i updated to "IMOVIE 11"
OK, that's a bit more information.
iMovie was probably already running when you imported the pictures into iPhoto and wasn't aware of the last import.
Try to quit iMovie and iPhoto, then launch iMovie again. The last import should show up.

Mom does not see my iChat video, but I see her, and my wife can see mine

When I iChat with Mom, I can see her, but she cannot see my iChat video. All she sees is herself as if she is still in iChat preview mode. Audio works fine. It is like a 1-way video chat with a 2-way audio chat, only we did not request this mode.
This was working for years (from when Mac OS X Panther first offered iChat video chats). Mom only seeing herself is a fairly new situation, but I can not pin down when it started, or what might have triggered it.
My wife can connect with my Mom, and again, my Mom's display stays in preview mode, but my wife can see my Mom, same as I see, only my wife is using her own MacBook Pro.
When I'm at Mom's using my MacBook, I can iChat with my wife. She can see me and I can see her. My wife and I can also successfully iChat video chat when she is away on business trips using the hotel's WiFi. I do not think it is my MacBook, nor my wife's MacBook Pro.
And also while at Mom's with my laptop right next to Mom's iMac G4 using a Bonjour local connection, I see what Mom is sending, but she stays in preview mode only seeing herself.
So I think I've eliminated the internet as a whole, and I've eliminated my MacBook as being the cause.
I really think it is Mom's iMac G4.
I've tried trashing all the iChat related .plist files, but I could have missed something.
Mom's Connection Doctor says it is getting stuff from me at between 13 and 15 frames/second, but all that is shown is her own iSight image.
Some configuration details:
o Mom's 1.25GHz G4 PowerPC iMac is Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) all the latest updates.
o Mom uses the original firewire iSight.
o While I think I've eliminated the router, it is an 802.11n Airport Extreme (single transmitter in 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz mode, channel 1).
o Verizon DSL connection that has worked just fine in the past, beside same situation occurs when I'm sitting next to Mom using a Bonjour connection.
o Mom is 300 miles away, so I can not just drop in. However, I do have VNC access to Mom's system over an ssh tunnel.
o Firewall is Off
o My 2GHz intel Core 2 Duo white MacBook is Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) all the latest updates (w/build-in iSight camera).
o My wife has an intel 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) all the latest updates (w/build-in iSight camera).
o My router is also an 802.11n Airport Extreme (single transmitter in 802.11n 5GHz only mode), with an older flying saucer Airport Extreme 802.11g in bridge mode to support older Macs and iPod Touchs.
o My broadband is also a Verizon DSL connection.
o Firewall is Off.
Events that have happened recently. I'm not saying they are the cause, but generally things that did work do not stop working for no reason at all.
o I've applied Apple's Software Updates.
o I've experimented with TeamViewer.com as an alternative to VNC for remote control (this did not involve video, but it was something new to the mix). NOTE: I DO NOT keep TeamViewer running. I find my VNC via OSXvnc to be satisfactory.
o My nephew moved back in with his Mom (my sister) and his Dad, which is where my Mom happens to live. However, my nephew has his own 12" G4 PowerBook, so he does not need to mess with Mom's. But then again, years ago, I found my Mom's previous Bondi Blue iMac had its web server enabed after a visit from my nephew. Of course now he is a college gradate and much more responsible. Oh yea my nephew was a College Quarterback for a Top Ten College, and I'm a bookworm type. I am not going to accuse my nephew of doing something to his grandmother's iMac unless I have absolute proof
o At one time I had the Chax plug-in installed on Mom's iMac G4. I used Chax to uninstall itself.
I'm stumped. I've tried all the problem isolation things I could think of, as well as the tried and true "Delete the .plist" trick (assuming I found the right .plist(s)).
Has anyone actually lived through this, solve it for someone else, other.

I would do the Latest Combo Installer for the OS level she is at.
That is going to have to wait until after Thanksgiving.
While I'm confident that applying/re-applying the latest Combo Update will not cause any problems, if anything goes wrong (and I know Murphy personally), I will not be able to drive the 300 miles to Mom's house until the weekend following the Thanksgiving weekend.
If I'm going to try doing something like this remotely, I'm not going to do it unless I can get in the car and be a Mom's house the next morning to clean up any mess I create.
So I will put your idea in my "To Do" list (I'll even create a Google Calendar event), to try this 4-Dec-2009.
Thank you for the idea. If I have not found a solution before the 4th, I will install the Combo update.
But I do have a question. Why would Mom's iChat display the video preview window showing what her iSight camera sees, if she was unable to display the remote video stream, just because there was a ColorSpace issue. Hay, I write software for a living, so I know that the left hand does not need to know what the right hand is doing, not the big toe, the elbow, an ear, etc... Software is full of paradoxes. But I figured I would just ask.
And I'm still going to give the Combo update a try on 4-Dec-2009.
But in the mean time. Other suggestions would be appreciated.
Does anyone have a laundry list of .plist files I should try deleting? I did try deleting some obvious ones, but maybe I missed something important, or maybe there is one that does not say iChat, but is just as important.
You never know, if I get enough ideas (tons of ideas), and they all still fail, and I'm frustrated beyond belief, maybe I'll break down and get Mom a nice 27" iMac for Christmas! But if I do that, I'm getting one for me first

IMovie does not see Aperture / iTunes library after hard drive restore

Hi all,
I recently exchanged the 320GB drive in my MacBook for a 500GB drive. I installed the 500GB drive and restored everything from my time machine backup. This went flawlessly and the MacBook works great, except for two issues:
1st: It did not read NTFS volumes anymore, I had to reinstall NTFS-3G - problem fixed.
2nd: I do not see my Aperture and iTunes libraries in iMovie '09 anymore. This worked great before.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or what the problem could be?
Many thanks,
Michael

read about that problem frequently.. never got an answer, if the following usual advice fixes the problem:
• check permissions with Disk Utility
• check read/write rights of specific Folder AND files inside via Finder..

IMovie doesn't see any iPhoto videos

Hi,
I can't seem to get iMovie to recognize any videos that are in my iPhoto library. This used to work easily. Any suggestions?
How do I access all of my iPhone videos that get imported into iPhoto for editing in iMovie?

Hi maxmaxie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are not able to import videos from iPhoto to iMovie, I would first suggest using the steps in the following article.
iMovie may not recognize some videos in iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support
Best regards,
