IMovie and snow leopard (again)

After searching through the forum I can't find anyone who seems to be having my problem, or at least speaks about it. I can't get my iphoto videos to show in imovie after installing snow leopard, BUT :
- I have quicktime 7 installed
- I have checked off for iphoto to copy to my library (I always had it like that)
- If I try and make a new iphoto library like someone suggested, my videos still do not show in imovie
- the video formats are supported by imovie
- I have checked off for show all videos in imovie
- There was one who suggested to check off "share iphoto library" in iphoto, I did this too, no luck
My current solution has been to export the videos from iphoto and import them manually into imovie, but this is time consuming and stressing.. any ideas, anyone?

You're not the first to run into this, and probably not the last.  Why didn't you just install SL on its own partition?

  • IMovie and Snow Leopard... snow rhymes with.... ??

    SLOW!
    iMovie is unbearably slow under Snow Leopard. Every scene addition, every transition every MOVE brings out the rainbow wheel.
    YIKES!!
    Any thoughts besides waiting for a fix?

    Snow introduces three types of QuickTime.
    1) The new QT X player is used as a replacement -- sort of -- to the old QT Player.
    2) To support FCP and iMovie there is a QT Framework -- which may also support QT X.
    3) There is a version of the previous QT Player you can install.
    It appears that while FCP was checked out to work under Snow, the same was not done with iMovie 09.
    All folks can do is wait for Apple to release a fix to Snow and/or iMovie 09.

  • IMovie HD and Snow Leopard

    I have version 6.0.4 of HD and Snow Leopard, but they don't work together when I try to combine HD and IM 11. Anyone found a way to do it? Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I try to combine HD and IM 11
    They doesn't.
    You can have both in working order on the same Mac - but they do not communicate else than
    via XML-files = Raw material can be moved over but no project can be shared to be compleated
    in the other application.
    Only via QuickTime .mov file the movie with text and transitions can be moved but then in
    a NON-editable version.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 is one Application serie
    iMovie'08 to 11 - a totally different product - *wrongly named as iMovie* - no code is the same.

  • AVCHD and Snow Leopard (I-Movie / Final Cut Express)

    AVCHD and Snow Leopard. I have been using Final Cut Express 4 and I-Movie 08 since they both came out. I have been using the same AVCHD camcorder (Cannon HG10) with both programs, and it has worked perfectly. Now I have installed 10.6 and 10.6.1 and now neither program will allow AVCHD transfer. Both recognize the camcorder but won't transfer.
    A little poking around on the internet and I discovered that Snow Leopard won't support AVCHD (http://www.shedworx.com/no-avchd-in-snow-leopard). Third party web site mind you.
    So far I agree it won’t work with AVCHD. Now since both programs were developed to use one of the most widely utilized formats in HD camcorders, again AVCHD, this accidental or intentional over site smells of Microsoft, not Apple.
    I like some of the features of Snow Leopard but for me the video aspect is one of the top requirements. Apple had been the leader in the multimedia revolution and this mis-step with AVCHD is it’s typical of Apple.
    I have just restored back to 10.5 and every thing is working again.
    Now that were around the block here is the question. If anyone can come up with a solution…that does not include the used of third party software to convert, please let me know.
    And to Apple, please fix this problem, I’m already hearing the complaints with QuickTime X, and seen the headlines, “Snow Leopard, is it Apples Vista?”.

    This is, to be polite, a misunderstanding. Shedworx are being careless with their terminology.
    1. SL itself does not support AVCHD, but neither did Leopard.
    2. AVCHD support is built in to the movie editing software (iMOvie, FCE, FCP), exactly as it was in 10.5
    3. I am happily editing AVCHD from my HG10 in iMovie 09 and in FCP, in exactly the same way I did under 10.5
    So you have a specific issue with your camera, you've taken that with some carelessness from Shedworx, and on that basis you've decided, incorrectly, that Apple does not/will not support AVCHD.
    There were many cases under Leo where people reported problems getting their camera to communicate with iMovie. Solutions include:
    1. Trashing iMovie preference files
    2. Repairing permissions
    3. Copying the AVCHD folder tree from the camera to disk, and importing to iMovie from there
    4. Using MPEG Streamclip to convert the camera footage before importing to iMovie
    5.Making sure the camera is running on mains power, not battery, and that it's in playback mode.

  • In limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard - stupidly didn't back up

    I've got an old-school black MacBook, about four years old now. I never cared enough to upgrade it to Snow Leopard, but now I want Lion. So, I borrowed my parents' five-license Snow Leopard install disc and started off on the journey to upgrade to Snow Leopard, download the App Store update, then download and install Lion. I didn't get far.
    First, let me say that I didn't back up my hard drive. Like an idiot. Yes, I know it was stupid, so there's no need to say anything. My previous installs (a few clean re-installs) have gone without a hitch, so I figured I'd trust Apple and just run the installation without backing up. Dumb.
    The Snow Leopard installation started fine, but was interrupted when the installer said the install failed. Restart, try again. Booting from the install DVD, things seemed to be going fine a second time around -- picked my language, got to the install set-up screen, picked Macintosh HD as my installation drive. And then things stopped working. The installer said my HD could not be written to and that it needed repair. So I went to Disk Utility to try that. Repair Disk wasn't available, so I clicked Verify Disk. That got interrupted when it said the disk needed to be repaired, after which the Repair Disk button was clickable. Tried to repair, but apparently my HD is screwed beyond the capabilities of Disk Utility.
    I tried to reboot the MacBook from the HD, which Disk Utility said still had Leopard running on it. The computer wouldn't boot up. Safe Boot didn't work. So, without any other real options, I thought I'd try my luck by just trying the install again. Booted up from the install DVD, and ran into the same issues. Didn't magically fix itself, of course. So my MacBook is stuck in limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard, won't boot from the HD and won't let me repair the disk when booted from the DVD. What do I do?
    I plan to try a couple third-party disk-utility programs tomorrow (8/25/11) to recover the files on my HD. There's not much I care about on there (just some iPhone photos and my resume, really), so doing a clean wipe of the HD and installing Snow Leopard is an option. But I'd of course rather be able to recover my personal files. Is this possible at this point?
    Another question I have regarding a clean wipe: If I end up having to clean off the HD and lose all my data, I'll lose the iTunes configuration for my iPhone. Will iTunes be able to import my apps and settings from my phone if I plug it in?
    Thank you very much.

  • Aperture 2 and 3 and Snow Leopard

    My system with Aperture 2 was perfect.
    Then I believe that Snow Leopard killed Aperture 2.
    When I first installed Snow Leopard my machine felt like new again but slowly and slowly over the last few months the whole system seems to feel less and less snappy.
    I don't use many video-intensive applications - my main one is Aperture 2, so this is where I find my main cause for concern.
    Painfully slow adjustments with lagging, beach-balling, CPU-hogging, and RAM theft.
    The main culprits seem to be Highlights/Shadows, Straighten, Crop, and Retouching… although my open mind says that could simply be because they form the latter part of my tweaking process.
    There seems to be a thumbnail generation issue. Every adjustment that is made generates a new thumbnail - as you work through your tweaks that process seems to get backed up and slow everything down.
    There seems to also be a video issue. Tweaking horizontal photos in full screen causes twice as much lag as a vertical image. Why? Take a look - it's obvious - in full screen edit a vertical image is about half the size of a horizontal one.
    There seems to be a memory issue. Aperture seems to use a large amount of processor and RAM and sometimes doesn't let go of it or it gets caught in some kind of a loop. I've no idea what I'm talking about here. All I know is when I look at Activity Monitor the numbers are going through the roof and I can barely concentrate on them because of the noise from my fans.
    There have been various and quite diverse suggestions on this and other forums as to what the underlying problem is and I have done my best to look into those and see what can help.
    I have an early-2008 MBP 4,1 - 2.6 Intel Core 2 Duo - 4GB (factory-fitted) RAM - GeForce 8600M (512MB) GT.
    I have done everything possible: all software totally up-to-date, re-installed combo updates, rebuilt Aperture libraries, run consistency checks, fresh Aperture install, fresh Snow Leopard install, repaired permissions, booted in 32bit, booted in 64bit, run hardware tests, deleted plists, cleared caches, downloaded and run applications like Onyx and Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (amongst others) to ensure everything is in ship-shape along with various test applications to gauge if components like my hard drive are dying.
    I keep my system clean and tidy. I have now stripped out bloat. I even took out iPhoto in case its 'iLife' browser link to Aperture was an issue. I have 85GB free on a 200GB. All components are original as factory-fitted by Apple.
    Everything that any seemingly intelligent person on any decent forum has suggested has been done - in particular I thank the many users here on the Apple forum for all their information sharing… I try to read them all.
    From what I see on the forums, I am not alone.
    Nothing has fixed this problem.
    I (and no doubt many others) have fed this information back to Apple.
    Aperture 2 and/or Snow Leopard has a problem that has not been fixed.
    Aperture 3 got released and I trialled it and swiftly uninstalled it because the exact same problems are there - even with one single photo in it.
    My concern is that Apple will not fix the cause of the problem which seems to lie outside of Aperture.
    If Apple concentrate on making Aperture 3 work better inside a possibly shaky Snow Leopard then I will be very disappointed.
    I'm not forking out for a new version of software just because Apple broke my current software. Don't get me wrong - I do actually WANT to buy Aperture 3 because it has functional improvements and advancements that I would love to be using providing it works properly - and for me (and it appears for 'quite a few' others as well) it just simply doesn't… and neither does Aperture 2 any more.
    I am no technical expert (as you've probably noted already) but a MAJOR bug seems to lie in the relationship between Snow Leopard, graphics cards, and the way it handles memory - and so in turn graphically-intensive applications like Aperture are high-lighting these problems more than others.
    I am sure there are people without these problems. Perhaps these problems relate to specific hardware configurations. My configuration is Apple standard. I really shouldn't have these problems.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I cannot remotely consider Aperture 3.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I could never buy Apple again.
    Up until Snow Leopard you had a VERY happy camper. I had a perfect machine and I was shouting Mac from the rooftops to anyone that would listen.
    And then it seems Snow Leopard broke my machine.
    What a shame.
    I really want to use Apple, I actually really like Snow Leopard, I really want to use Aperture, I really want to carry on telling people how wonderful the Apple Mac experience is (or was...) but Apple are currently making it very difficult for me to continue doing so.
    Please fix Snow Leopard.
    This will hopefully fix Aperture 2 and Aperture 3.
    Unless anyone else has a fix?
    Sincere apologies to all for banging on for so long !!

    Thanks for your input setwart.
    When I make adjustments I do want Aperture to provide me with a new version so that I can see the original image and also that I have a version which I have already adjusted. I've previously tried changing that preference before with no improvement in performance unfortunately, but it's not really what I was referring to.
    Versions, thumbnails and previews were very confusing terms to me for a while… actually, in some ways, they still are but my understanding is 'a little' better now.
    That said, I probably used the wrong term.
    What I meant was that every time you make an adjustment Aperture seems to produce a 'record' or 'snap-shot' of your image including that latest adjustment. In so doing you have an entire history of each adjustment you have made. In my head I picture this like a movie film-strip with each frame differing slightly. You increase your saturation by a single point? Another snap-shot. Fancy another single point on your saturation? Another snap-shot… and so on.
    It is typical that I will make a bare minimum of 20 adjustments on each image, and that's before even thinking about straightening, cropping, and retouching… and then maybe I'll go back and tweak everything again !!
    Somehow, my system is having difficulty in keeping up to speed with all of those snap-shots of individual adjustments. Certain adjustments will drastically slow things down more than others, and then I get to play with the beach-balls.
    But - it used to handle these things just fine and that's what I'm trying to get back to.
    Thanks again for getting involved.

  • Dual boot drive - Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard - Correct order to load software /apps?

    Hi
    I want to create a dual boot drive for Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard as some of my hardware (is not supported in Mountain Lion). 
    I am happy how to do this, I just want to know if there is a correct way to install software and apps.
    My plan was to do a clean install of both using two partitions, the larger going to ML and smaller one for SL.  I was going to install SL from the DVD and then after updating from 10.6. to 10.6.8 and download ML from the app store and install on the larger partition.
    Do I install all the software I use like Final Cut, Aperture, iLife (for Garageband) etc on the ML or SL partition or on both.  Also, is there a better way / practise of the order software updates / apps and boxed software should be installed when doing a clean machine install.
    Thanks in advance.
    Matt

    Thanks mende1
    So, if I have software I need to use on both ML and SL - for example Final Cut as I have a Canopus AVDC box which is not supported in ML but only SL, do I need to install the same software in both OS?
    I usually open apps using spotlight and didn't know if it would software / apps would open if already installed on the other partition?
    Thanks again

  • Nokia N86 and (Snow) Leopard

    Does anyone here know if the Nokia N86 smartphone is compatible with the latest cats, Leopard and Snow Leopard?
    I currently have an N73 and it interfaces just fine either via USB or Bluetooth and the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app (1.4). iSync, iPhoto, iTunes are able to speedily do their thing with the phone. Bluetooth connectivity started working again after the 10.5.8 update. However, that phone is getting dated and my carrier is currently offering very attractive hardware upgrade plans for the holiday season; since the main use I have for it (besides making calls and sending SMS's) is taking pictures, the N86 fabulous 8 megapixel camera with mechanical shutter and Zeiss lens is really attractive.
    Nokia says the Multimedia Transfer app is not compatible, but it said the same thing about the N73, so I'd rather ask the Discussions Collective any experiences with this N86 phone. Yeah or nay?
    Oh, and why am I blaspheming about a Nokia instead of following the One True Faith and getting an iPhone? Cause it is too bloody expensive over here with our carriers! Not only is it expensive to get, it is even more so to maintain!! Doubles or triples what I currently pay.

    This article should answer your question:

  • Reinstalled snow leopard again, but still no free space? HELP!

    Hi all,
    im still very new to all this so hope someone can explain it in simple terms for me! My macbook only has 20GB left and is chock full and running quite slow, so I went into mac store recently and the very helpful guys told me to do the following;
    backed everything up to time machine external hard drive first, then they said to reinstall my installation disks to wipe everything and then reinstall snow leopard again. I clicked to option of erase and install as i thought that would overwrite everything, but after the few hours it took to do all this - i logged in again and everything is still on there!
    how do i wipe everything on my computer safely (and make sure its backed up) to free up space?

    Hi starbud;
    Something sounds wrong here. It doesn't sound like you are working with a Snow Leopard DVD because with SL Apple dropped the erase & install option from their installer.
    In order to do an erase and install with SL, you must open Disk Utility when booted from the DVD and erase the disk from there.
    Having said all of that I think this plan you were told is totally futile because if you erase and install and then restore from Time Machine, your disk is going to be just as full as it was when you stated.
    A better solution is to get a tool like OmniDiskSweeper and find out what is taking up all the space. Then delete what you can and move whatever you can't delete some place else.
    Whatever you don't pick on the operating system. It is general the least of your problems. The heavy hitters are music, photos and videos.

  • View Menu in Leopard and Snow Leopard

    I've had many Macs but I'm new to the Leopard and Snow Leopard OS. I asumed in the past that if a folder was set to view files as icons or as text, the setting would remain that way unless changed.
    Using Snow Leopard in a 17" MacBook Pro, I have my HD set to view folders and fies as icons. I find, however, that if I set another folder to view icons as files and close my HD when I am finished with the folder, when I open the HD again, my icons are no longer there and all the folders and files are displayed as text.
    Is there any way I can keep my HD set to folder display?

    Very simple. Go to View/Show View Options and check the appropriate box.

  • Iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard - problems

    With iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard, I now have a complete mess. Most of my photos and events are totally mixed up, out of any recognizable order.

    Make sure iPhoto is fully up to date (version 9.1.3), Load your iPhoto library backup and convert your library again
    Or provide a lot more information than "my library is a mess" - maybe there is some assistance that someone can give you if they know more

  • I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work.  This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard.  Do you have any solutions or tips?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system.  I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work.  This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked.  What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group.  I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work.  Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os.  So how do we fix this?  I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users. 
    Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command
