IMovie '11 will not display edited versions of photos from iphoto

After editing some photos in iPhoto, iMovie displays in the preview window the edited photo, but once placed on the timeline, it reverts back to the unedited original version. Any ideas what's going on?
Ultimately, after creating a slideshow of photos in iMovie, i realized some photos need editing. But after going back to iPhoto to edit them, it appears as though there is no way for iMovie to update the slideshow with the edited photos that i still want to use. Even if i place them a second time on the timeline to replace the old photo, i lose the ken burns pan/zoom options i already set. i'm afraid i'll have to start all over again with my edited photos. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

in light of that response, i tried something that worked a little better. since their is no 'edited' photo, after making my edits in iphoto, i exported the photo out of iphoto by dragging it to the desktop, which seems to create a fully edited and changed file. this photo i immediately dragged right back into iphoto, and upon import, iphoto treats it like a new 'original' file (and the edits are maintained). this photo i could import into my existing imovie project and it shows up correctly. it's still some work to do this, but it prevents me from having to start all over again.
i guess until there is an update to address this the bottom line is this; make for certain as best you can that your photos are all edited in iphoto BEFORE you begin your imovie project, since making edits to photos after the fact will cause you some runaround exporting and reimporting with iphoto, and then replacing those photos in the imovie timeline...

  • IMovie will not allow me to import photos from iPhoto

    the media button in imovie that suppose to let me import photos and music is not active and will not allow me to get anything, but if i check iphoto by itself it shows me everything i got. Please help i really need to get this project done by this week!
    Thanks In Advance

    You'll have to go this route:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    What version of iPhoto?
    Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

  • I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto.  Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized.  Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.

    Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • New photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library

    I have just installed  10.10.3 on my Macbook and the new photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library. I have about 3200 photos in the library and only 2300 are presented for import. I only have 1 library so I didn't choose the wrong one. Any suggestions?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 will not export edited versions of my photos.

    I cannot export edited versions of my photos (specifically cropped photos) in iPhoto 9.5.1 using Mavericks. This is driving me nuts. I've tried duplicating the photos, saving them in different formats . . . no dice. This is very annoying. Without photo editing, iPhoto is pretty useless.

    You can use 3rd party editors from within iPhoto.  Here are some of those:
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    I would suggest you try one of the free ones and make sure that iiPhoto will export the edited version before you purchase an editor.  The following is for Photoshop Elements but would be applicable to most of the editors listed above, particularly the part about keeping the file extension as jpeg and not one created by the editor.
    Using Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    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
    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  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    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:
    Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • IPad saying not enough memory when syncing photos from iPhoto

    I have been trying to sync my iPad for the past two weeks.  It is an iPad with Retina Display, 3rd Gen, 64gb.  I finally gave up and just downloaded all of my apps and songs from icloud, but I want to be able to sync it to my computer.  It keeps telling me that the iPad does not contain enought memory.  I do not know how this is seeing as how it says that I have over 40 gb free.  Today I was able to get it to sync, and then I realized I did not have my photos from iPhoto checked.  I checked it to sync photos from iPhoto and only selected one album with 223 pictures in it.  When I did that, it gave me the message that I could not sync it because I did not have enough memory.  How could I not have enough memory when it says that I have 40gb of space free and I am only trying to sync 223 photos?  Please help.  I will try to update this post if anything improves.
    I have already restored the iPad once, and that clearly did not do anything.  haha.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

    I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
    The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
    I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
    In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
    I hope this is not TMI.

  • IPad 2 - iMovie - will not display any videos or pics from my camera roll.

    iMovie won't display any vids or pics from my camera roll. All the vids are taken using the iPad. Help?

    Probably a privacy issue.
    Check your privacy settings.
    On the iPad, click SETTINGS
    then PRIVACY
    then PHOTOS
    Look for iMovie and turn it ON

  • OCS Webdesk will not display attachments on emails sent from Thunderbird !!

    Hi,
    Emails that are sent with attachments from Mozilla Thunderbird clients display in my Webdesk folders without the attachment!!
    Funny thing is that the size of the email means it obviously has an attachment but the attachment does not display in the email, meaning you cannot open it.
    If you view the same email via Outlook with the Oracle Connector then it is fine.
    Emails sent to my webdesk account from Microsoft Outlook come through o.k.
    I tested this problem by sending emails with attachments from Apple Mail to my webdesk Inox and the same thing happened, email without the attachment visible !

    Webdesk means Web Access Client right ?
    We've never seen such a problem, works flawlessly here. Did you try with another account ?

  • Will my previously sync'd Flickr photos (from iPhoto) get removed from Flickr

    Hi,
    I am very nervous of using the new Photos App and losing all my previously sync'd Flickr Photos that I configured from iPhoto - some of them have thousands of views / comments and fav's that I would hate to lose.
    My photo library has been migrated to Photos App now, so I presume that as long as I don't fire up iPhoto again, I should be fine - as once the photos are sync'd to Flickr from iPhoto then as long as iPhoto doesn't try and remove them it should be fine and it can't do that if you don't start it up.
    My concern is what happens when I try and share a photo to Flickr from the new Photos App - is this going to reset all my photos that have been previously shared to Flickr (and hence lose the previously uploaded ones from iPhoto) or will it just share additional photos as a new individual photos? It seems whereas iPhoto ran a complex Sync type relationship with Flickr, the Photos App Sharing to Flickr is much more basic.
    Can anyone put my mind at rest because I would be mortified to end up losing my Flickr Photos?
    Rgds

  • Folder Portlet will not display edit (or anything else)

    I am portal30.
    I created a new content area.
    I clicked the "Edit Root Folder" link of my content area, and published it as a Portlet.
    I created a new page.
    I added my newly created content area as a portlet to the page.
    I saved my page.
    WHen I view the page (as Portal30), the page is blank where my content area should be displayed.
    Can you give me some hints. I have been playing around for a while and can't "get it right".
    Thanks!

    Hi
    U got to check the 'Access' settings under 'Edit Root Folder', u have to give appropriate access rights to enable the users to view/edit the content area.
    Hope this helps

  • Why will Photoshop Elements3 edit only 4 photos from iPhoto6?

    In iPhoto6, I have set "Edit Photo" to " In Photoshop Elements 3". When I select more than 4 photos to edit, only the last 4 selected photos appear in Photoshop Elements. In the past, it used to be possible to pass more than 4 photos to Photoshop Elements, but I don't remember if I was using iPhoto6 then. Does iPhoto6 have a 4 photo limit for external editing?

    It's just the nature of the beast(s). You can open multiples of 4 and then go to PS and do your thing.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
