IMovie 11 how do I import photos that ARE NOT in iPhoto

If I don't use iPhoto, how can I import photos into an iMovie 2011 project?
As far as I can see, you have to put your photos into iPhoto first. I don;t use iPhoto, I use Lightroom and it would be a pain if the only way that I could get photos into an iMovie project was to have to load them into iPhoto.
thanks

I finally figured it out myself. You can drag photos from Finder into the project timeline.
I couldn't find this docuemented anywhere and every tutorial only talks about using iphoto.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • How can I find photos that are not in any event?

    Help!  I have finally, after a decade or so, organized my events and emptied out the trash and gotten rid of duplicates. Round of applause, please.  How can I find out if there are sneaky pictures that are NOT in any particular event (please dont say by showing all photos and just going through each one!)

    You can't because every photo is in an Event already. That's how iPhoto works. Every photo is in the LIbrary. The Library is built upon events. SO if it's in iPhoto, it's in the Library and in an Event.
    Albums are different, as they refernce photos in the LIbrary. It;s perfectly possilbe to have a photo in the Library but not in an album.

  • IPhoto : how to recover imported photos that are now "*.ipmeta" files

    Yesterday I imported photos from my Nikon camera in iPhoto. I imported them in an album. Then I deleted all photos from the camera and empty the trash (mac book).
    Today I open iPhoto and I don't find the photos any more : neither in iPhoto nor in My Pictures.
    Using the Finder (search on Yesterday), I found is a list of files such as "photo.002723.ipmeta". It looks like these files may correspond to the photos, but I cannot open them with iPhoto.
    How can I recover my photos ?
    I understand my mistake was to import the photos in iPhoto without first moving them to My Pictures.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I understand my mistake was to import the photos in iPhoto without first moving them to My Pictures.
    It wasn’t, unless you’re running a Referenced Library. Are you?
    Then I deleted all photos from the camera
    You can probably recover the photos from your camera card with an app like MediaRecover.
    Today I open iPhoto and I don't find the photos any more : neither in iPhoto nor in My Pictures.
    Are you sure you don’t have a damaged database file?
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    photo.002723.ipmeta
    These are database files of about 4kb each. They are not your photos and your pics cannot be recovered from them.

  • IPhoto 11, how do I view photos that are not assigned to any album?

    I am trying to orginize my photo library (iPhoto 11) a bit better. I have 7,500 photos and I'm looking to find which ones are not in any album. I saw sugesstions for iPhoto 09 where you can make a smart folder for that very situation, however I don't see that ability in 11. Any suggestions? Thanks

    File -> New Smart Album
    Album -> Is not -> Any

  • Can I import to iWeb photos that are not in iPhoto?

    I do not use iPhoto, but I'm building a photography website with iWeb. the only available file on the Photos media tab in iWeb is to iPhoto. Do I have to put all my wanted photos into iPhoto before i can import them to a web page in iWeb? Is there another way to get photos in from other non-iPhoto folders?
    Any problems with doing this?

    Yes, you can. If you're creating a Photo page in iWeb just drag the photos into the photo section from wherever on the HD. In fact if you bring up the Media browser in iWeb you can drag any folder you want into the Media Browser's window just below the iPhoto icon and then drag from there into the photo page.

  • HT201302 How do I retrieve photos that are not in Camera Roll? My old computer died.  My baby's pictures are only backed up on my iPhone.

    I got a new iMac.  I have synced my iPhone, but I have not been able to retrieve albums other than Camera Roll into the computer.

    Requires third-party software to extract them:

    Be aware, they were reduced in resolution when synced to your phone, there is no way to recover their full resolution.

  • I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

    Hello,
    I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
    Thanks!

    I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

  • HT201317 How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud as Albums?

    When I plugged in my IPhone to my computer my photos in albums duplicated several times. How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud? It's really frustrating since I am having several copies of photos on my phone. Please advise..thank you. Judy

    For example, if I delete a photo from my iPad, doesn't it stay in the cloud?
    If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll.  If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

    I am looking for the place where I can go and see everything that I have backed up in the past that remains in the cloud, so I can go in and edit that. Does anyone know how to get rid of what has been backed up before?
    You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup.  If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them.  Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

    Do you mean from the organizer? Right click one (shift-click or
    ctrl-click to select multiple photos first if you want to do more
    than one at a time), then choose "delete from catalog". A window
    will pop up asking if you also want to delete from your hard drive.
    If so, then turn on the checkbox there.
    If you just mean from the editor or the mac version, just close the
    file(s) there.

  • How do you view photos that are backed up on icloud

    How do I view photos that are on icloud on my personal computer

    Photos in an iOS backup cannot be viewed, not until you've restored the backup to a device, and they can't be viewed on a computer.
    I'm assuming you are refering to photos in an iOS backup from a device and not photo stream, which is not a backup.

  • How do you remove photo that are synced to your phone

    How do you remove photos that are synced to your phone

    Hi amandafromcroydon,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To remove synced photos, you sync again without those photos selected for sync.
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Take care,
    Nubz
