Importing Keywords from Aperture Videos?

I have a bunch of videos in my aperture library.  These videos have certain keywords that I have applied.  When I open imovie and navigate to Aperture Videos I cannot search by these keywords I originally applied in aperture.  In fact, when I select the keyword filtering pane I find no keywords listed.  Is there a way to import the keywords I applied in aperture to imovie? 
Am I encountering the lack of keyword information because aperture and imovie cannot share this information for a video clip?  Meaning, keywords entering for a video clip in Aperture cannot be viewed when opened in imovie and vice versa?
Thanks

  • After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

    I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
    When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
    I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
    I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
    (I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

    Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

  • Importing keywords from external file

    Is there any way to import keywords from a text file into Aperture to automatically tag images? For example, if I have a spreadsheet with a list of names and numbers can I enter the image numbers in the spreadsheet (on the iPhone) and then import that data to the Aperture album with the images. Kinda like a merge of the data.

  • When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

    I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
    In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
    I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

    I think I just figured this out.
    Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab.  Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up.  Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
    It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality.  You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews.  iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
    Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults.   Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
    Hope that helped.

  • How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

    Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

    I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
    Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

  • Importing Keywords from Excel into Lightroom (XMP)

    My current photo log is in Excel. I'm thinking of moving to Lightroom. Does anyone know if there would be a programmatic way to import keywords from an Excel file, and avoid having to manually apply keywords to each imported image? The data in my Excel file provides a perfect (nearly perfect?) correspondence between keyword and image file name. I know next to nothing about XMP, but I could get some help if I knew this was possible. Thanks!

    Garry, try this: Take one image in LR, apply some metadata and use "Metadata > XMP > Export XMP Metadata to File". Examine this xmp file to see what it has to look like.

  • LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

    I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
    I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
    Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]"  (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata.  After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
    I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
    Anyone found a solution to this, please?  I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
    Thanks,  John Walmsley

    Ginger
    I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
    So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
    Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
    Good luck

    Try it on your home network where there isn't a lot of 'controls' -- network filtering , firewalls, etc.

  • Cannot import photos from aperture

    Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    George

    I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it.  I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
    Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
    What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
    If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
    The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
    Check also the settings in Image Capture:
    In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
    If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".

  • How to export ranking and keywords from Aperture to iPhoto

    Hi,
    I like to edit RAWs in Aperture but still want to keep iPhoto for JPGs, sharing and slidshows... However, I cannot get the keywords and rankings from Aperture into iPhoto. The JPGs have other Metadata attached to them, but not the ones that matter the most here - ranking and keywords. Subtitles for example are also missing in the exported picture.
    I tried various ways of exporting/importing the pictures (of course "including metadata"), but did not yet succeed. I did expect these two applications to get along more smoothly, however there must be a way to do this, right? Please let me know!

    Redgo,
    I can't answer your specific question, but I too like to use iPhoto for slideshows.
    I don't do this by sharing the libraries or having duplicate copies. In Aperture, I make an album with the pictures for my slideshow. Then in iPhoto, I grab that album from Aperture and make an iPhoto slideshow from that. It uses the previews, but medium-res previews are fine for a slideshow. It wouldn't be so good for printing (but I imagine you'd use Aperture to do that).
    Just my 2 cents about an alternate workflow.

  • Importing keywords from iPhoto

    I would like to import my current keywords from iPhoto to Aperture. What is the best way to do this, and then to keep them synched?
    Thanks -

    You're on the right track, but you'll need iPhoto Library Manager to do it. It's the only way to move files from one library to another while maintaining metadata. So, assign all the keywords to one pic, then transfer it to the new library using iPLM. It's a $20 shareware, and all round good app. You can read about it here:

  • Importing Keywords from other DAM Software (Cumulus)

    Hi,
    A client is currently switching from analog to digital photography. She is a professional garden photographer. The switch to digital photography comes along with establishing a raw processing workflow and therefore she is impressed with Lightroom's integration of DAM and raw processing.
    Before she was filing her large portfolio of color slides, inside a Cumulus image database, using small scans of her slides for orientation in the database and creating contact sheets for her clients. In the Cumulus database she has established a large hierachical keyword vocabulary, containing flower and plant species, their genus, family, order, class, phylum etc., you probably know what I mean. Some of the keywords have associated synonyms.
    The new Lightroom catalog will only contain the new digital images, so that the old images from the Cumulus database will not be migrated into the new Lightroom catalog. Of course the client wants to import the Cumulus keyword hierarchy into the Lightroom catlog.
    I have the following questions now:
    1.) Is there a *practical* (I do not mean technical) limit to the amount of keywords Lightroom can handle (speed)?
    2.) How can we import a keyword vocabulary from an external program into Lightroom? Is there any base format, such as CSV, which we could use? The Cumulus version the client uses does not support XMP, and since XMP only relates to a particular image, that would not help anyway. Where is the keyword vocabulary stored? Has somebody experience with such a migration issue?
    3.) I have notice that Lightroom supports synonyms to keywords. However, I have not found any way to use them. My impression was that they were not regarded in keyword or text-based searches. Maybe I overlooked something.
    So, I hope anybody has some ideas.
    Kind regards

    Hi
    I try to give you few brief answers.
    1) I have almost 1000 keywords (including synonyms) and I don't have problems. But at least some previous versions of Lightroom were unusable with controlled vocabularity keyword set which contains something like 11000 keywords. I haven't recently heard any comments about large quantity of keywords. So someone with more experience should comment on that.
    2) You can import keyword hierarchy to Lightroom from text file. File should have keywords in tab intented hierarchy, with one keyword in line. If I recollect correctly the file should be in UTF-8 character set (this is important if you have some non ascii characters in keywords). Synonyms are marked with {} and keywords that are not exported with [].
    3) Synonyms are written as keywords when images are exported. As far as I know current search tool does not support synonyms (yes, this is weird).
    Hope this helps at least a bit.
