    I'm trying to import photos from iPhoto but can't get the photos to get accepted into iMovie. They are jpegs. It's worked many times before. Thanks!

    Oh sorry!! It turns out that when you import movies into iPhoto '08, when you export them they come out as images, instead of movies; how strange!! :S You can view movies in iPhoto but you can't get them out of there, thanks for your help anyways , you can drag and drop movies from iPhoto into iMovie so I'm all sorted now.

  • I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

    I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.  I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them.  Help!  I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

    Tell me it ain't so!
    I wish I could.  The research you've done is correct.
    Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
    The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

  • Import old FC Pro project into current project library

    I have some old projects in a folder and I'd like to import them into my current library but FC won't let me. Says I have to open the project in Final Cut, buit I can't even do that.
    Help?

    How old is old? Are they created by versions earlier than FCP X?
    If so you will need to purchase 7toX, which is available in the App Store…$10 I believe…and it works.

  • Aperture/iPhoto - Use Unified Library or import iPhoto into Aperture?

    So as it is June 30th, I've been forced into upgrading to Lion.  Now I know I can take advantage of the Aperture/iPhoto unified library structure.
    But should I?
    I am new to Aperture and use it for photos starting in January 2012 going forward.  I have already upgraded to Aperture 3.3.  I am still currently running iPhoto 8.1.2  for photos from 2011 and earlier.  My plan was to eventually import my iPhoto library into Aperture.  Now it appears I don't have to.
    So I'm standing at a crossroads and I'd like feedback.  I have read some of the discussions where folks are having issues with migration with both avenues so I'd like to know which one makes more sense.
    Should I upgrade to iPhoto 9.3?  Should I keep each library separate?  Should I merge?  Should I import iPhoto into Aperture still and have one library going forward?
    Looking for folks with some experience to give me guidance!
    Thanks in advance!
    Chrystal in TX

    Merge them.  When you upgrade to iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3 the programs use the same library format... you can open it in either one.
    Note people rarely post feedback about something if it's working for them, so results will always be skewed toward the negative online.  Still, it makes sense to have a backup before upgrading, as a general best practice.

  • I saved an iMovie to DVD and now I can't find the original working files in iMovie Project library to make additional edits. What happened to the files? Thx!

    I saved an iMovie to DVD and now I can't find the original working files in iMovie Project library to make additional edits. What happened to the files? Thx!

    Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
    1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
    2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
    3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
    Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
    2 - Open the library package like this.
    3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

  • Trouble Importing Photos into iMovie

    I am trying to import photos into iMovie and am having trouble. They look like they are importing OK, and when the import is through (the red bar has finished loading) the picture disappears and the clip becomes blank. This is happening when I import from the finder, from iPhoto, or from FILE>Import, and with lots of different photo sizes, none seem to work. My iMovie project file is located on an external drive with tons of space. I have plenty of space of the startup disk, so I don't know why this is happening, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

    I had this problem last year (August-Sept 2007), and I'm having it again now (August 2008). When I import jpeg photos from iPhoto to iMovie, they turn black and are not accessible in iMovie. In addition, this time when I imported several photos, the replay of the iMovie became jerky. When I threw out the photos, the movie became smoother, the way it was originally. There seems to be some sort of bug that has not been fixed in over a year.

  • How can i export video clips in iPhoto into iMovie?

    how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

    Hello andrewmarkp,
    As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
    iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
    If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
    To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
    Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
    The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
    To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • Can't import MP4s into iMove '08

    I recorded some videos on my Nokia N95 and wanted to put them into iMovie and export them onto YouTube after some editing, but iMovie won't import my MP4s! Are there any free and painless ways to convert MP4s into more compatible formats for use with iMovie '08?
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Oh sorry!!

  • Help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..

    help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..

    If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
    The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
    I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

  • Importing Video into IMovie 11

    Relative novice user here, so please be kind and simple with the explanations.
    I have successfully downloaded my movies off my camcorder but now can' figure out what to do to get them into IMovie. I tried to import them, but the still don't show up in IMovie. There must be a step that I'm not following. Any help is appreciated.

    Using Canon Vixia HF21. Plugged the USB cable to the camera and followed on-screen prompt to download to computer. Everything seemed to flow normally. I can see the files via the finder in the IMovie events, but can't figure out how to get into IMovie project.

  • Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
    Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    It is working for me.  Two ways to import into an existing project:
    Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
    Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings  from "new Project" to the selected project.
    Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

  • How do you import photos into imovie?

    How do you import photos into imovie?

    If you can open a Finder Window to your photos, you can drag them in to an iMovie project from the Finder.
    Some third party apps might support drag and drop, but I haven't got Lightroom to test it. If drag and drop from LightRoom does not work, try exporting from LightRoom into a Finder folder and drag them in from there.

  • Cannot import other existing imovie projects

    I believe iMovie 5 is suppose to be able to import other existing iMovie projects. When I attempt this through the import function on another iMovie 5 project (in this case a single clip smaller than 600mb) it say "Error:Quicktime cannot parse clip" it says a little more than this actually but this is the part that seems to have any relevance.
    It does this with bigger or smaller clips. I am running Quicktime 7 and have all the updates in place
    .Anyone have any ideas.

    If I read you correctly, you tried to import another iMovie HD project directly into a second project. You selected a project icon to import, correct?
    iMovie HD can't do that, although the programmers forgot to tell iMovie HD. When we try, we get a "cannot parse" error. (The import dialog shouldn't allow us to select an iMovie HD project to import. It's a bug.)
    There are other ways to do the same thing:
    1) Do a Save As to copy Project A to a new Project B. That duplicates the entire project.
    2) If you have an existing project you want to import clips to, you can Copy and Paste the clips from Project A to Project B. With Project A running, select all the clips, Copy, open Project B, Paste. Repeat for the audio clips.
    Note that when Copying and Pasting try to copy all the clips you want together. If you don't, then any clips you copy and paste separately which share the same source file will cause iMovie HD to deliver TWO copies of the source file to Project B. That can hugely increase the size of Project B.
    That occurs because Copy/Paste preserves the non-destructive editing of the clips. The Pasted clips behave just like the clips in Project A. A split clip can be restored to its original length, for example.
