Imovie crashes with photos from Iphoto

I recently purchased a mac computer with the latest software. I wanted to import photos from my Iphoto library into Imovie and make a movie. Each time I try to do so Imovie crashes.
The first time I had the error and the first time I used Imovie, here is what I did:
1. I opened Imovie
2. Clicked on "show or hide photo browser"(the camera icon on the right).
3. It said it had to create a thumbnail for videos in Iphoto library and did so.
4. I clicked on the photos to scroll through them.
5. After looking at a few photos, Imovie crashed.
All other times I had an error here is what happened:
1. I opened Imovie
2. clicked on "show or hide photo browser"(the camera icon on the right).
3. Imovie crashes.
If anyone has any thought on what is going on and how to fix this problem please post, Thanks.

love tapas

  • IMovie has dragged photo from iPhoto too far off screen that I cant find it

    I have opened a logo within the iMovie viewer screen that had so much black around it that I couldn't figure out which way to drag the photo to find the small logo surrounded by black. After so much dragging around I am not sure which way I need to drag the photo around within the iMovie viewer to have it centered, much less even visible. Apparently, iMovie saves that setting. Now even when I open completed projects where the photo was centered it is not showing it. I think it has the photo so far off to the left, right, below or above that it won't find any of them. I have tried zooming in and out with the photo settings in iMovie. Still nothing. I tried using other pictures very large or very small but am afraid that I dragged the first one around which was about 30" x 30" with the logo only occupying about 4" in the center that I have moved the center too far off the axis that it would be occupying the theoretical space several feet off the center of the viewer and have no idea which way to drag it to get it back into the center. Hope that makes sense.

    Hey,
    Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to bring a logo from a near pinpoint using Ken Burns effect to as big as I can before I transition to a bumper. I did this once before and had the same problem. I finally found the center of the picture/logo by moving it around, trial and error and luck. I have tried to use known good images in place of the logo that went black and it seems they are all showing black as if they are all so far off center they only show black. I have opened finished projects where it shows a similar logo effect and when I go to 'edit photo settings' in the completed project it the image goes (or shows) black.
    Now, any project I go to I can't bring in any picture from iPhoto without it showing just black. If you try using a photo in iMovie from iPhoto and put it off center, it seems the next time you try using another one it's starting point is just as far off center (the same point) as the last one that was moved around.
    Not sure if I explained that correctly.

  • Strange crash with photos from Picassa

    I came across a problem today that I can't explain. When I download photos from a specific site on picassa and each time i imported them into iphoto it crashed. I received the same photo from the person who put the photos up and it was fine but when I downloaded the photo onto my desktop from Picassa and then dropped onto iphoto it crashed. when i resized the photo in photoshop and saved it it was fine and when i imported a different file, a large tiff file that was fine.
    I'll post a part of the crash log if anyone can see something I can't.
    Thanks

  • Can't send email with photo from iPhoto

    Hi I am trying to share a photo/email from iphoto and I get this error message
    The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination
    I am assuming this is because I changed my password on icloud but it is working on mail... how to I update it on iphoto? thanks Gail

    If you're using iPhoto on your Mac go into the iPhoto/General preference pane and change the email client from iPhoto to Mail.  Then you'll be able to email normally. 
    If you are referring to iPhoto on your Mac then post in the iLife/iPhoto community in the future.

  • Audio not exporting with photos from iPhoto to QuickTime

    I have QuickTime 6.5.3 and have been making slide shows of my photos with a music background. I had no previous difficulty exporting both the photos and audio as long as the background song was taken from my own CD (not downloaded from iTunes).
    That is no longer happening. When I export the photo album to QuickTime, the audio will not export. It starts to play a second of the song, then the sound disappears. What am I doing wrong?

    You might be correct, Terrence.
    I have only had this new Mac for a week and I simply followed my usual procedure. I'm now wondering if I should just let Lightroom import the RAW files from my camera, do all of the editing and discarding over there, and so forth.
    It's funny, after I posted that I looked at my own question to the forum and realised that I was creating a redundancy that was unnecessary.
    My previous MAC was manufactured in 2009, so my iPhoto in there was the 2009 version.
    Ah well -- guess I got my answer in a sort of self-administered smack on the hand manner!
    Thanks.

  • IMovie not accepting photos from iPhoto

    Trying to put together a dvd and when I drag the photo and try and drop it, its not showing up...music either. I've got my opening slide with a voice over but that's as far as it will go. Anyone else having these problems or any suggestions?

    Export: File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Copy: Use iPhoto Library Manager
    But best to rebuild the library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

  • Photos from iPhoto used in iMovie

    I previously posted this question in the iMovie community, but received no response.  I'm hoping someone here will have some knowledge on my situation.
    I have created 2 movies in iMovie that use some videos uploaded to iMovie and also some photos from iPhoto.  I have since decided to move all of my photos to Adobe Lightroom.  To do so, I have exported photos event by event from iPhoto to a new location, imported them into Lightroom, and then deleted the event from iPhoto.  For those iPhoto events where I have used photos in iMovies, I have yet to delete the events from iPhoto.  I assume that iMovie will be very confused about the location of the photos and will no longer be able to play the movie.  Should I just keep these events in iPhoto in addition to having a copy of the photos in Lightroom?  Can iMovie "see" photos in Lightroom, so I can create additional iMovies taking photos from Lightroom? 
    I have 2 goals here:  1) not break 2 existing iMovies that use photos from iPhoto, 2) be able to create new iMovies using video and also photos from Lightroom. 
    Is this possible?
    iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    You can check easily if iMovie will continue to work with photos after you've deleted them from iPhoto - simply make a quick project in iMovie and then delete the photos from iPhoto. I do believe they will but not absolutely certain.
    No I don't believe you can share photos from LR to iMovie like you can from iPhoto or Aperture because LR has no knowledge or way of working with the Media Browser system. You'll need to export from it to the Finder and from there to iMovie.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.

    As  to iPhoto
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

  • Problems "pulling" photos from iPhoto into iMovie....

    I am trying to create a movie with a combination of movie clips from my DV camera and photos from iPhoto (on my G5, 2ghz iMac). Movie clips are no problem. The problem occurs when I try and "pull" in more than 20 pics or so from iPhoto. I am trying to "pull" them in via "Media" and then "Photos". If I try and pull in a bunch, say more than 20, iMovie quits and I have to start all over again. Is this a bug and is there any workaround?

    I actually think this is one area where iMovie6 does a lot better than iM5. My machine used to choke all the time when I would try to drag a whole bunch of photos into timeline. The reason is that whenever you bring in photos like that, they have to be rendered, so trying to render a whole lot of stuff is going to be time dependent based on your processor, memory etc. (and the settings you have for timelength, ken burns effect etc.) iM5 tried to render everything simultaneously and would always lock up on me. iM6 appears to render one at a time so it eventually finishes, but then I stopped trying to import large bunches of photos after my iM5 experience so I can't say where the limit is.
    I've gotten so fond of playing with the ken burns effect and setting the start and stop points that I pretty much do all my images one at a time now because it can render the last one while I'm picking settings for my next one.

  • Photos from iphoto placed in imovie breakdown

    Imovie 4.01, when I move photos from iphoto into the clip viewer the photo clips become unreadable on play back. About halfway through the clip the picture changes to gray with repeating black and white rows of small pixelated squares. This happens to most photos and always to the copied/pasted photo clips. I have placed photos in iphoto in the following formats: photoshop, pict and jpeg. None work. I create still frames from the photos in the clip window and in the clip viewer, no luck. The photo clips appear normally in the Clip Viewer strip but the photos play back as garbage. Please help.
    Thank you

  • Can I delete photos from iPhoto that were used in an iMovie Project?

    I made an iMovie Project with a lot of photos from iPhoto. I don't want some of the photos anymore. I would like to delete them from iPhoto but I am afraid it might affect the iMovie Project. Does any body know?

    If you've finished the iMovie project and exported it to other media or file format, then yes, you can delete the files from iPhoto.
    If the iMovie project isn't finished you should leave things alone.

  • A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

    A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

    You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have
