IMovie '11 won't import the new clips from iPhoto

I uploaded some footage from my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A to my iMac. All of the new clips were copied into iPhoto. (I never deleted anything from my camcorder so they're all there as well, for now.)
The problem: I opened up iMovie '11 and the new uploaded clips that went to iPhoto did not get imported into iMovie '11. I see the clips and have played one of them. They're there in iPhoto.
How can I get those newly uploaded clips to iMovie '11?
I just now noticed that when I click the camera icon in iMovie '11, the folder that I made and that has those new clips in iPhoto is indeed there...... but when I click to see what's inside the folder, there is nothing. Yet I know that the clips are inside that folder when I look in iPhoto.
Can someone lead me out of this?
This seems like a good time for me to go downstairs for a snack.

The problem is solved. At someone's request, I looked yet again at the folder titled "iPhoto Videos" in the Event Library (See screen shot.) When I noticed that the dates on that folder included today's date, this time I looked more carefully and scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page, where happily, I found the videos that I had uploaded from my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A earlier today. I thought that all of the videos would go underneath the iPhoto folder and end up looking like the 2011 folders (See screen shot again.)
If all of those folders and videos under/in the 2011 folder are there, I am wondering why such folders from today's upload did not get added there somehow in some form. Why are they all still in the iPhoto videos folder?
Could iMovie '11 be in error? Because as it is now, although I am happy that iMOvie '11 did indeed get my videos from iPhoto, it bothers me that it did not also format those folders below the way the other folders are. The inconsistency of actions bothers me. Now I cannot be sure that looking in one spot will show all of my videos.

  • Import only new clips from previously-imported Mini DV tape

    Is there a way to import only the new clips that have been captured since the last import when a Mini DV (tape-based) camcorder is the source?
    I’m using a iMovie 8.0.3 with my Canon Elura 100 and it imports clips fine in Automatic mode when I’m capturing the whole tape. However, if I’ve already imported part of the tape before, iMovie appears to re-import all of the previous clips plus the new ones. And, I’m also now in a situation where it doesn’t seem to have imported the new clips from a previously used tape that I started to tack new clips onto the end of.
    I don’t get enough time to sit in front of iMovie to sort out what’s going on, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    So there’s no way to use the Automatic mode, and for iMovie to skip over already-imported clips? Or recognize that a clip has been imported already, and prompt whether to continue to actually import it or not?
    I ask merely because, given the length of a DV tape, this kind of thing probably happens regularly. And iPhoto, for example, understands when images have previously been imported.
    If there is no such feature, I’m willing to submit it as a feature request. However, given the direction DV tape is going (despite its benefits), I don’t see this as something that will be implemented. All the new media have random access.

  • My JSP engine won't load the new source from my page

    My JSP engine won't load the new source from my page, even know I saved it, and I restarted apache, and resaved the files again, no dice! It must be running off of cash, it's not in my browser cash I cleared it out too, what else can I do?

    Tomcat checks to see if the JSP has changed since it was last compiled with you request that page... So, if the file is updated, it should recompile it. Are you sure that when you update the page, you're updating the same copy of the page? (the location defined in the server.xml file)

  • Problems importing the same clips from diferents cards  IMAC and CS5

    Hi, I'm having trouble importing my clips recorded in The ex1, I'm using CS5 with an imac, The problem is that when I import the same clips recorded in two cards, the second card comes exactly with what is inside the first card.  It does not have what was originally in it, it just copies what was on the first card or vice versa.  But the original folder in my drive is intact with the two cards intact. The problem is when I import it to CS5 on IMAC.  When i import the video the imac makes a long file with all the clips an puts them together except the clips from the previous card, it shows but with the same video that is in the begining of the second card or the last clip recorded in the second card .I tried to import the clip again from the first card and it comes with the same video from the second card again.

    1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
    I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
    I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
    1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
    2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

  • Won't import the entire clip

    I am having a problem with importing my clips into FCE. I have a Canon Vixia HF S20 camera and i'm shooting in Cinema Mode at 24F. When I import my clips (via Log and Transfer) it cuts off a little bit of the end of the clip. For example, one clip i was working with is 30 seconds and 7 frames long. after importing it, the clip is 29 seconds and 1 frame long. I lost over a second from the end of the clip. And i have a full circle in Log and Transfer. Similarly, another clip was 10 seconds and 18 frames. After import it was 10 seconds and 7 frames.
    I did some more testing and recorded a clip on my camera in Cinema Mode shooting PF24 and I have no problems importing the clip. SO, for whatever reason, there is some problem importing clips filmed at 24F? Doesn't anybody have any idea why?
    ~Kevin

    I'm trying to capture footage shot on a Canon HV40 in cinema mode HDV (PF 24). When I playback the footage, it looks a little glitchy in FCP but not on the camcorder. Does FCP support this setting or do I have to change the Easy Setup settings? I have the Easy SetUp set to HDV and HDV 24p firewire, etc.
    I'm using FCP 6 on a Mac laptop and a 1TB Graid.

  • Export/Import the new Theme from Apex 2.2

    Ok, I am so very sold the new theme 15 in Apex 2.2 after 1 day playing. I really want to use it in the new app I am going to build very soon. Export/Import does not work at all because all the images whatsoever are NOT there. May somebody let me know how to do this? or can we do it?
    Thanks in adavnce.

    Hello,
    I'll see what I can do about providing a zip of the images directory for the new themes, it's not my call though. You can at the moment use Firefox and save the page (which also saves supporting files) and that will get you most of the images.
    You would then have to go through the css and make sure to grab all the background images in that file. On or two page grabs of different page types should give you most the images.

  • How to import the vdo clip from youtube into iMovie?

    I just bought MacBookAir (version 10.7.2), in addition I haven't  got used to Mac yet.

    YT videos usually are 'hidden'.
    a very convenient way is:
    • download and install Firefox
    • download and install the add-on Download Helper
    You'll notice a tiny new button upper left, which starts to animate if the site you're on offers any downloadable media.
    On YT, DownloadHelper shows all sizes&formats, YT offer this specific upload. If avail, select the .mp4 to avoid further conversions.

  • IMovie 10 imports the original photo from iPhoto rather than the cropped

    I am trying to make a video using iMovie 10 and iPhoto. iMovie is displaying the original versions of photos rather than the cropped ones that I edited in iPhoto. Is anyone else having this problem? Using a MacBook Pro, OS 10.9 Mavericks. When I used iMovie 9.0.9 I did not have this problem. I am going to use iMovie 9.0.9 for this project as I need to get in completed quickly.

    iOS 8 edits are represented in a format, that iPhoto and Aperture cannot read. When you download your photos with Image Capture instead of with iPhoto, you may see sidecar files "IMG_20XX.AAE", or similar. These are the edited versions of your photos, describing the filters and other settings. The problems is, that there there are not yet any apps on the Mac, that can read these files.  We'll just have to wait a bit.
    See Apple's support document at this link:
    iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices - Apple Support

  • How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

    I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!
    Ayca

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

  • Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCP, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work).

    Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCPX, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work). Right now, after I import a new file, I have to then go searching for it amid all the other files in my project. It would be extremely helpful if the file I just imported was already highlighted and selected after import, making it instantly "locatable" and ready to go.

    in a perfect world, you do know the recording date, and you simply scroll to that date.
    in a very perfect world, all your other imports are already tagged, so just have to create a smart list 'unrated' ...
    (I know those messy Events… a friend of mine constantly ignores my advice to check the time/date on his camera; on every battery swap, the cam creates a very erratic timestamp ... his actual recordings are listed as made in "2004" or in "2020" .... )

  • Imovie '09 won't import '08 files HELP!

    I imported all my camera contents into iMovie '08 and all worked well. Later, my hard drive crashed so I upgraded to iMovie '09 with the new hard drive. My iMovies files were retrieved from an external hard drive backup. When I try to import the new files, IMovie '09 will not read them--it's like the files are empty (but they really aren't). Some are .mov files, some .dv files. Any suggestions?

    Hi Suzq - don't want to alarm you, but are you aware of the following when importing video from iMovie HD projects:
    Only the source video is imported; any additions or changes you’ve made to the video in your project are not imported. When you import video from iMovie HD projects:
    ● All clips from the clip viewer are added to a new Event.
    ● All clips from the timeline are added to a new project.
    ● Any clip that was dragged into the project from the Finder is not added to the new project.
    ● All transitions are replaced by cross-dissolve transitions.
    ● No titles or effects that were applied to the video are transferred to the new project.
    ● No music is transferred to the new project.
    ● Any clip that was dragged into the project from the Finder is not imported; only video clips that were imported from a camcorder into the original iMovie HD project are imported to the new project.
    The above was extracted from iMovie '09's Help topic "Importing video from iMovie HD projects".

  • IMovie '09 Won't Import HD Content from Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder

    Hi,
    iMovie stopped importing HD content from Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. It only recognizes the standard definition content in the preview thumbnails. Previously this used to work with both a FireWire cable and a Mini USB. All of a sudden it doesn't import HD clips. There's no plugin failure either, because I reinstalled iMovie '09.
    System Specifications:
    Intel iMac 20" (Late 2008)
    Intel Core 2 Duo@ 2.4 GHz.
    4 GB RAM
    Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
    Thanks!

    With this camera you must erase the SD clips from the camera before you can import the HD clips.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

  • How do I correctly import the new Train CD (SONY PROTECTED)?

    While I have imported numerous CD's - I am having issues importing the new TRAIN CD that is SONY issued. The songs/track names have to be manually typed in....

    I don't think your problem is copy protection related, that normally gives you audio problems. In order to get track information on a commercial CD, iTunes connects to an on-line database and downloads the track details. This should happen automatically if you are connected to the internet, if it's not, when iTunes loads your CD go to Advanced>Get CD Track Names and see if it connects manually for you.
    For future reference, the way around copy protection is to record your CD directly from your hi-fi to your hard drive and then edit it down to CD tracks. A good audio editor for Windows is the open source program Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
    In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer.
    You can use this method on LP, Cassette and on Copy Protected CDs that won't play on your computer.
