Import of files from iMovie and iDVD to iPhoto

Last veek I had about 2300 pictures in iPhoto. Now I have 5500 ,most from iMovie i think..., wonder how they got there?

There is no specific way to delete them with referenc eto the time and date imported.
If they're in the Last Roll, then a simple 'Select All" and drag them to the iPhoto trash, then empty the trash (iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash)
This will remove the files from iPhoto AND the whole machine. Therefore, if you're not sure that the originals are still safe in the other apps, it might be best to export them first (File ->Export), then when you're sure they're all duplicates, trash the export.
Some people have difficulty emptying the trash if there's a large amount of files, so maybe do them in batches.

  • I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black.  The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

    I'm not sure of your question.
    Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
    Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
    It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
    You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
    Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

  • Import files into iDVD from iMovie OR export files from iMovie to iDVD?

    I've been told it is better to import iMovie projects into iDVD (within iDVD) rather than exporting from iMovie to iDVD within iMovie. I was told that iDVD does a better job of rendering things than iMovie. Is this true because this is not the instructions given in the iMovie tutorial.

    Not sure what advice you have been given and how you have interpreted it.
    You are of course referring to im6 here since you can't drag projects from im08 to iDVD.
    I don't make many DVD's anymore and may well be wrong here but I'm not aware that dragging an im6 project to iDVD is any different than using share/iDVD and I'm wondering if the advice relates to exporting from im6 and then importing the exported movie into iDVD which is indeed a different workflow.

  • Using WindowsDV  .avi files in iMovie and iDVD

    I'm about to buy a Mac after using PCs for many years. I'm still deciding whether to buy an iMac 20", upgrade the Ram and use an external firewire drive or to get a Mac Pro and use internal drives. Initially I'll use iMovie and iDVD and I have some questions regarding using files I've already created on my PC. Up until now I've mainly been using Ulead Video Studio 10 and Ulead DVD Workshop. DVD Workshop does not do 16:9 menus and has now been discontinued and I've been impressed with iMovie and iDVD when I've seen it in Apple stores.
    I have some unedited 16:9 .avi files that I've captured from my Panasonic GS-400 camcorder as well as some already edited .avi and .mpg files. Will iMovie and iDVD recognise .avi DV files when accessed through my network or copied onto the Mac hard drive? I'll load unedited clips into iMovie for editing but anything that's already edited I'd like to put straight into iDVD, add chapters and make a menu etc.
    Is this going to work easily or will I have to convert the files to an apple compatible format?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    Hi Ken and welcome to Apple!
    You should not have a major problem. The AVI files should (repeat should) be recognized by iMovie. If not, conversion should (I love the certainty of that word!) be easy.
    An iMac will do all you ask, but I recommend not less that 1GB of RAM.
    At this stage, go get your iMac, and try to import the AVI files into iMovie. If that is not successful post back!
    Remember: iMovie expects to be 'fed' by digital video through a firewire connection.
    Any more questions, we are here to help!

  • Sharing a file from iMovie to iDVD

    I've created a movie in iMovie. I click "share" and "iDVD." it takes a few minutes and creates the movie and finally iDVD opens. As soon as it opens I get a "ding" and a window comes up saying "missing Files"...the rollowing files could not be found: /private/var/folders/43/43bTcdKwELG7cKshNoSAr+++TI/-Tmp The type of file says "picture." i have 2 options..."cancel" or "find file." I click find file, it opens up a window to look for it and I obviulsy have no clue where it is and running searches on the computer can't find it either. I'm going nuts now.
    I have a 2.16GHz Inter Core 2 Duo with 1.5GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I don't know a lot about computer so if you're got any pointers, please pretend your helping your mother. or grandmother. lol. I'm 35 and use computers a lot but not good no the back-end of things. That what she said. save it. help a brother out here, would 'ya?

    I know, it's odd.
    Or I'm incredibly stupid, which...
    I imported my iMovie into iDVD with chapters marked. When I went to burn the dvd after selecting my theme, a warning popped up that said something like, "There are problems that were mentioned if you continue it won't work". When I clicked on the map, there was a theme file that I had clicked on inadvertently while working with the actually theme I had chosen, that somehow ended up connected to my chapters. In the map, it went from My opening theme, then branched out, one to the full film and the other branch went to this errant theme-file thing, and from the errant theme file thing was the branch that connected all my chapters. If I try to delete this theme (the 'my trip to Venice' one) it takes all my chapters with it (they too are deleted) because of the connected branch.
    I will most happily except stupidity if this 'thorn' could be removed from my iDVD.
    Thanks so much!!!

  • Importing Video Files from DVD and the net onto final cut express 4

    2 questions:
    1st: Ive imported a video file downloaded from the net to practice editing, but once I have done that, the video file has no audio? how do I get the audio for those files?
    2nd: I had ripped some video files from my university film project onto my laptop, but I cant Import the files into final cut express to further edit it (because it was a group project), because its the wrong format and stuff. How do I fix this and allow it to be imported?
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    ohk cool, wat about my first problem with the sound not being imported?
    Most likely the file is multiplexed. That means the audio and video are rolled into one. Same thing applies as the other post, the file needs to be in a format that FCE recognizes. Streamclip may do it, depending on the type of file of course.

  • Importing .MOV files from PC and getting "generic error" msgs... help.

    Importing .mov files which I downloaded from my iPhone onto my PC (so getting them from file folder, not directly from iPhone). However, getting "importer is reporting generic error" message with a list of video files that didn't get imported. Some are importing, though, and showing up on the timeline. Downloaded a whole bunch at a time and thought it was the problem. Then just tried one that had the error to test and that one wouldn't either, even by itself.
    These are MOV files from iPhone 4 recorded with "stock" camera program on phone. Using Premiere Elements 11.
    Please help.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Along with Steve's questions, I have one more:
    Did your iPhone shoot with a Variable Frame Rate?
    That is common with many of the phone cameras, and especially the iPhones. You can run your file through MediaInfo (for PC), or Media Inspector (for Mac), and then report the FPS (Frames Per Second). If it is constant, it should Import fine. If it is variable, then you might have to convert that to a Fixed Frame Rate. One method is to use Apple's QuickTime Pro (a US $30 upgrade/unlock), and just Import the file into QT Pro, then Export to the same format, but with a Fixed Frames Per Second.
    Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

  • Import video files from  iMovie to  iMovie 8?

    I just installed iMovie 8. I already have videos from my previous version of iMovie. How do I get them into iMovie 8? There seems to be no connection between my files and iMovie 8.

    How do I get them into iMovie 8? There seems to be no connection between my files and iMovie 8.
    If you are referring to "raw" files for which no iMovie HD timeline exists, then simply open the iMovie HD ptoject package, transfer the "Media" folder to an active "iMovie Events" folder, change the "Media" folder name to an event name you prefer, and open iMovioe '08 to "thumbnail" the new files. If you don't plan to do any editing of the iMovie HD project, you can then delete the iMovie HD project version.

  • Help with imported eps files from photoshop and illustrator using PANTONE

    I am new to InDesign and running into some very frustrating issues. I am preparing a catalogue for print which was created in Quark XPress previously. I tried converting it initially but had all kinds of strange things happening with type re-wrapping. The printer advised to recreate in InDesign. FIne by me because I'll learn as I go along.
    So I created a page in InDesign and place and eps file created in Illustrator using a spot Pantone color and a halftone created in Photoshop also using the same spot Pantone color. In InDesign the color swatch menu show both colors one as 228 C and the other as 228 C 1. How do I get just one definition for PMS228 coated that works across all three programs? Stuff like this pisses me off. Adobe should have one definition across all three.
    Help!!!

    My best guess for the two definitions is that the CMYK values of the colours do not match, so InDesign treats them separately. You can merge them using the In Manager. Open the Swatches panel and select Ink Manager from the flyout menu. Select PANTONE 228C 1, go to the Ink Alais pop-up menu, and select PANTONE 228. Now InDesign will treat the two colours as one separation on output.
    You should also take the time to open each graphic and resave as a native file. This means .psd for Photoshop and .ai for Illustrator. While there, see if you can make sure the colour names and definitions are consistent.

  • Possible To Import Video Files into iMovie and Retain Their Chapter Marking

    I've a couple of videos I'd like to use in an iMover for which I've already created chapter markers for in GarageBand. Is there any way to bring them into iMovie when I import the video?

    No. iMovie cannot import files with chapter markers.

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to import raw files from nikon d750 to snow leopard

    I can import raw files from my Nikon d80 to iPhoto on Snow Leopard without having to install Nikon software. However iPhoto won't import raw files from my Nikon d750. Has anyone out there had this problem?.

    Mountain Lion is what Lion should have been in my opinion. I used Lion for a week and reverted to Snow Leopard. Another option is to have 2 operating systems installed, each on a different partition. You could then stay with Snow Leopard for most of your work.

  • Importing a file into iMovie

    Hi All,
    I am trying to import a file into imovie and it imports with the sound. The file was originally a MUXED file, than I used bbDemux which created 2 seperate files (video & audio) for me. I than brought them back into quicktime pro, combined them and save them as a .MOV file. The file is no longer muxxed but the sound is still missing when I import into iMovie. Any suggestions... Do I need to compress this file, and if so... How?

    The file was originally a MUXED file, than I used bbDemux which created 2 seperate files (video & audio) for me.
    What are the audio and video formats at this point? (I.e., did you simply demux the data or perform any sort of conversion as part of the process?)
    I than brought them back into quicktime pro, combined them and save them as a .MOV file.
    Are you using "Paste" or "Add" to combine the two tracks at this point? (I.e., if the files were demuxed and converted to a QT format, are you merging them sequentially or symchronized "frame-to-frame" here? If not performing any conversion as part of the demux process, switch to an application/utility like MPEG Streamclip that does both as a seamless process that produces an iMovie compatible file in a single step.

  • After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow?  Thank you, Filippo

    On IMac 10.9  After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now?  Anyone know?  Thanks, Filippo

    I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
    I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
    Thanks
