IMovie trailers thumbnails in iPhoto

Hi!!
I have made some trailers in iMovie and then import them onto iPhoto but iPhoto doesn't respect the thumbnail of the trailers.
In Finder the thumbnails of these trailers are a picture with the tiltle and credits. This thumbnai is created by iMovie and this is not a frame from the movie itself so iPhoto doesn't import it. The thumbnails in iPhoto are the first frame, in all cases a black frame.
This is not a real problem in iPhoto although I would like to respect the iMovie thumbnail, but it is on the iPad because the photo app on iPad doesn't show the title of the movie so all the trailers have a black thumbnail.
I would like to know if there is any way that iPhoto shows the iMovie thumbnail (the one composes with the title and the credits and also that this thumbnails appears on the iPad.
Thanks
(Sorry if there's any mistake with my english)

I have already sent feedback to Apple (may times) and I know I can't select the frame or a picture as thumbnail in iPhoto, but I thought that maybe there is an app that forces iPhoto to show the poster frame.
This picture must be somewhere in the file because Finder can show it and iTunes imports it as the cover art (in the info tab of the file).
On the other hand, I don't know how I can put that pictures in the video as first frame and that the movie doesn't loose it's size. I have used Quicktime to paste the picture but then the video is played with a big black space on the bottom respecting the size of the picture that is vertical.

IMovie '08 crashes on iPhoto thumbnail creation (at launch)

ok, I've finally figured out that if I say No to creating thumbnails from iPhoto at launch, iMovie will open okay. But, presuming I want them, any time I launch and say Yes it freezes and than crashes. And I see no way to manually generate them after iMovie opens. Help!

There are several threads in this forum about the iPhoto thumbnail creation bug in iMovie 7.1. The only way around this so far is to put all your iPhoto video clips into the iPhoto trash (but not empty the trash). Then add a few back at a time, launching iMovie after each addition. This "small bites" approach allows iMovie to create the thumbnails without choking/crashing.
Unfortunately, this workaround isn't feasible for those of us with large video collections in our iPhoto library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

Imovie loads all from Iphoto

Is it normal for Imovie to take a long time to start because its loading every iphoto movie i have? Is there a way to have it only do it when i ask or once they are loaded have them stay there so they dont have to load again? i am getting tired of the beach ball.
Thanks

First, shut down iMovie. Shut down iPhoto if it is open.
At the top right of the menu bar at the top of your Mac screen, you should see a little magnifying glass icon.
Click it, and type in "Disk Utility"
Disk Utility on Macintosh HD should be your top hit. Click it to launch Disk Utility.
Select Macintosh HD in the list on the left hand side of Disk Utility.
Now click the button that says Repair Disk Permissions.
The reason this might work is that if the permissions are screwed up, iMovie can go through the process of reading your iPhoto movies and generating thumbnails, and then it cannot save the results. So the next time it has to do it all again. Repairing permissions may clear the way for a proper save.
Now restart iMovie and try again. Let it run til the end. Then restart iMovie one more time and see if it is faster.

Any editing done in iMovie won´t affect iPhoto

My problem is a simple one, but haven´r found an answer here. I have a video in iPhoto that i would like to rotate. I have done just that in iMovie, but what steps do I need to take so that the orginal video in iPhoto is rotated as well? There is no save in iMovie so if I click the video thumbnail in iPhoto, it is not rotated. So how to replace the rotated version for the orginal in iPhoto?

Hi and thanks. So for anyone who might have the same problem, export to Quicktime, then choose .mov-format, save to somewhere and drag/and/drop to iPhoto. Sometimes I really think that some of these programs tries to be too smart. I don´t think the wolrd would explode if there would be a REPLACE THE ORGINAL -option in iMovie.

When I first turned on iMovie all videos from iPhoto automatically were found. Now I have more videos on iphoto, how do I get iMovie to find the new ones?

Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

Can I move all my photo that I can see on iPhoto from my Mac hardrive and put them on an external hard drive and still be able to see them as thumbnails in iPhoto? Thanks! The reason, I need to know if I can do this is b/c I am running out of HD space!sp

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why can I see all my thumbnails in iPhoto but none of the actual jpegs?

So I can see all of my thumbnails in iPhoto but when I click on them there is just a black screen. I also can't import photos from my iPhone into iPhoto, it says it doesn't recognize jpegs AND I also can't see/edit/or add any artwork in iTunes as well. In Coverflow or any other possible album art view, all of the album covers are solid black squares. This problem happened the same time that my iPhoto issue happened as well.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Not sure about the issues in iTunes and elsewhere but let's test the iPhoto Library:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Using iMovie or slideshow in iPhoto can not access my iTunes songs

Using iMovie or slideshow in iPhoto can not access iTunes songs.

Go to iTunes, preferences, advanced and be sure to check "keep iTunes folder organized" and see what happens.

iPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.
How to? Please...I cut and paste items, it is removed from iphoto for a few seconds then they appear again.

The photos that are appearing on the mini - are they photos taken with an iPhone or iPad? If so, open System Preferences on both computers and select the iCloud tab. On the mini, click the Photos checkmark off and on the MBP click the Photos checkmark on (if it isn't already), then start iPhoto and select Preferences. Select the Photo Stream tab and make sure Photo Stream is on.

Export RAW-files and its thumbnails from iPhoto

Hi all,
My Canon EOS 5D makes JPEG+RAW at the same time, which is great. Normally I do not need the RAW files, I work with JPEG in iPhoto 6 (OS X 10.4.11). I only want to keep the RAW-files as "negative". With Automator I want to export the RAW-files automatically to a separate folder which I will then backup to a external HD.
Automator should do the following:
1. Copy all RAW-files (extension is .CR2) to a folder on my HD.
2. Delete al RAW-files and its thumbnails from iPhoto
I have done some tests with Automator, but I did not succeed. Can some body help me?

Hi, Gary. Have you tried converting to DNG, with xmp data embedded in it, then export & burn this?

Deleting duplicates and thumbnails in iphoto or

As a 20+ yr PC user I made the fatal mistake of trying to manage my imac photos as in a PC. Running out of space on my imac, I exported all my photos to a 1TB external. Somehow, I wound up with duplicates and triplicates and even thumbnails. I purchased Duplicate Annihilator, but it looks for an exact match, is unstable, can only handle so many files and slow as molasses. Therefore, DA won't identify my thumbnails as dups. Trying to identify thumbnails in iPhoto is useless. All I want is the file size under the thumbnail when viewing photos so I can select and delete the thumbs. Multiple sort options like by name then by size would help as well. My library is over 100GB as a result. I need some serious help here. Is there another app out there that would get the job done more efficiently?
Thanks,
Andy

There are no duplicates in the iPhoto Library. There can be up to three versions of the pics, but no duplicates. iPhoto always preserves your original file, edits are carried out on a copy - the modified version - and there is also a tiny thumbnail for display in the iPhoto Window. Duplicate Annihilator is for searching in iPhoto, not the Finder.
When you did this:
I searched for all .jpg files and then moved them to the drive. I did not use iphoto to export. So I got every photo from every folder.
You accessed the Library via the Finder and the Finder doesn't understand the Library.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to trash the product of this process and start over.
What exactly are you trying to do:
Want to move the iPhoto Library?
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Or simply export the files from iPhoto:
Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export.
Choose the Kind: you want - Original version, Current version etc
Export
Result a single copy of the file.

Two iMovie icons and two iPhoto icons after update.

Picture first.
Hi all,
I encoutered this problem after yesterday's update (this update may be published days before).
Only a single iMovie and a single iPhoto application are found in my hard driver. So, I think there should be something wrong with the Lanchpad or the Finder.
Anyone can help me to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Chengjie

It happened to me as well after the last upgrade and i fixed it with a "windows-like" trick:
1) move imovie and iphoto from your application folder to somewhere else (i put it on my desktop)
2) open launchpad and you should see only one imovie and iphoto icon. close lounchpad
3) put imovie and iphoto where it was
at the end of this i still had only one skype icon in my lunchpad.
