Importing slideshow 16/9 from IPhoto to FCP

I'm using FCP I'm trying to import a slideshow with 16/9 pictures!
The import is no problem, but it is not 16/9 and if I try to resize the pictures, the quality is coming bad, and the file is 10 times larger !?
As anyone else had this problem. If so, how was it resolved?
Thanks,
Peter

I checked the additional content and the Digital Camera Raw Compatiblity Update was downloaded on Dec 19.  Checked Apple's list and the Canon 70D was listed as being compatible with FCP X.  In Iphoto I changed some of the RAW photos to JPG and some are now coming up in the Inspector in FCP as CR2 photos.  All of the photos are coming up a green in the FCP browser whenever I click onto the photo in Library.  I have Trashed the images several times and reloaded them from the SD card.  Could it be the card?  Although the vidio footage I shot this morning on the same card loaded fine.

  • I was importing photos to picasa from iphoto and it shut down when i returned i had no photos in iphoto

    i was importing photos to picasa from iphoto, and it shut down when doing so.  when i restarted i photo, all of my photos were gone.  where are they??  please help??

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000  photos in my iPhoto Library. Can I import only certain events from iPhoto into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library?

    I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
    And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
    Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.

    Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
    Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
    iPhoto version is 9.5.1
    Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
    I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
    It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
    What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
    iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem.  Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
    The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
    Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
    Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video,  that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed.  You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
    Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11

  • Problems exporting slideshow with music from iPhoto 5 to iDVD

    I made a slideshow on iPhoto, and selected one Playlist with 4 tracks as backgroundmusic. When I ¨play¨the slideshow in ¨iPhoto¨ I can listen the music ( all 4 tracks), but when I ¨export¨ the slideshow or ¨send to iDVD¨, the final Quicktime movie contains all the fotos but only the first track of the Playlist.
    I use Quicktime 7.1.3, iPhoto 5.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.2
    Can somebody help me to find a solution...:)...? thanks...
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    this was a known problem with iPhoto 5. do you have the latest update to iPhoto 5?
    Only one song exporting with Slideshows
    With iPhoto 5 this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
    -From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
    -Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
    Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
    If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
    You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
    You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
    -Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
    Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
    Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
    This worked well and was fast to do too.
    -Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
    From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
    Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
    Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
    Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
    Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
    Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
    Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
    Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
    From Lori...
    Burn the playlist in iTunes.
    Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
    Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
    Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
    Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
    When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
    Put the new combined track into the playlist.
    In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

  • Sending slideshow to IDVD from IPHOTO

    I am losing quality when i export slideshow from iphoto. Quality is good when it is in iphoto but not in idvd

    Was any of the music purchased from iTunes? If so, it is possible that this music has the DRM protection which has been know to cause problems such as this.
    If you are using iTunes music, you should take these preliminary steps.
    1. Burn the music in question to a CD.
    2. Reimport the music as an AIFF file using either of these procedures.
    If you have iTunes 8.0, go to iTunes Preferences>General>Import settings (drop down menu) AIFF encoder
    For earlier versions: iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing>Import using: (drop down menu) AIFF encoder
    3. This music can now be imported into your project.
    If you are still having problems, I suggest that you start a new topic in the iPhoto or iDVD forum. Your issue is different from that of the original post, and starting a new topic will help to give your question the attention it deserves.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

    Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
    I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
    I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
    I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
    Thanks for any suggestions

    OK, according to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
    your camera is supported by iMovie 9.  Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum.  Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

  • Posting slideshow on iweb from iphoto

    okay, i'm new to mac and website design. i would like to know how i can add a slideshow that i made in iphoto and place it on iweb?
    i'm using the 60 day trial. is this feature not available to me? in iphoto >share > send to iweb> the options aren't highlighted.
    i'm very lost and any help would be more than appreciated.
    Marisa

    Marisa,
    Welcome to the Discussions!
    I am not using the 60-day trial and I don't have that option available either. My best guess would be that slideshows as such cannot be sent directly to iWeb. What can be sent to iWeb, is a photo album containing the images that you built the slideshow with in iPhoto, and they will then become a photo page in iWeb. Once you have a photo page in iWeb, and publish it, whoever visits that page can view the photos as a slideshow in his or her browser. You won't have music that way, though.
    Alternatively, you could export your slideshow from iPhoto as a QuickTime movie, and put that on your website on a movie template. Be advised though that iPhoto tends to create large files this way, and they may be too large for publication on a web page. I just did a quick test and 17 photos exported at medium size generated an 18MB movie... I believe iWeb advises us to keep movies under 10MB. Maybe someone here knows of a trick to compress that more.
    Hope this helps.

  • Importing into Aperture 3 from iPhoto as referenced files

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything this topic...
    I've just upgraded to Aperture 3. In Aperture 2, my way of working was to store RAW images in iPhoto and import as referenced files into Aperture. This was very straightforward. Now, I have 2 problems:
    1 - I can't see how to import referenced images from iPhoto. If I use the import command, my iPhoto images don't show up in the list of locations to import from; if I use the iPhoto browser in Aperture and drag from that, it imports the file into the Aperture library rather than importing as a referenced file...
    2 - If I import using the iPhoto browser, not only does it import into the Aperture library, it imports the jpeg preview rather than the RAW file.
    The only way I can see to get the RAW file into Aperture is to find it in the Finder then import into the Aperture library. This seems excessively long-winded and also duplicates the file, using up extra disk space.
    I'm using Aperture 3.0.1 and iPhoto 7.1.5
    Thanks in advance for your input

    I have not imported an iPhoto library because my workflow is to to use Aperture for storing and archiving Raw files and iPhoto for exported jpegs.
    However the instruction in the Aperture 3 PDF Manual are as follows:-
    To import your iPhoto library
    Choose File > Import > iPhoto Library.
    Select the iPhoto library in the dialog that appears.
    Choose a location for the imported images by doing one of the following:
    • To store imported masters in the Aperture library: Choose “In the Aperture Library” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    • To import the files as referenced images stored in their current location on your hard disk: Choose “In their current location” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    Tip: Choosing“Intheircurrentlocation”isrecommended.Whenyouchoosethisoption, Aperture refers to the original files in their current location and does not have to duplicate the files, which doubles the disk space needed to store the files. For more information about referenced images, see What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
    • To store imported masters as referenced images in the Pictures folder on your hard disk: Choose Pictures from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    • To store imported masters as referenced images in a location other than the Pictures folder: Choose “Choose” from the Store Files pop-up menu and select a folder. Choose “No folder” from the Subfolders pop-up menu to specify that the files be stored as separate, individual files in the selected folder. You can also specify that Aperture create a hierarchy of subfolders with specific folder names to hold your files.

  • Problem making exact same slideshow in iDVD from iPhoto

    I have made a slideshow in iPhoto, and want to burn exactly the same on to iDVD. Slideshow contains stills, small video movies and music from iTunes. Problem: I have burned a DVD in iDVD, but I can't get Ken Burns Theme, movie sound and movie is not in sync (sound starts long before movie) and poor resolution in pictures.
    I want to show the iPhoto slideshow without bringing my entire iMac. Any suggestions?

    Another option is to Share/Export the slideshow from iPhoto to Quicktime (Choose large/full quality option). This turns the slideshow into a video file with all parts integrated. You can play it with Quicktime Player to make sure it's right before dragging/dropping it into iDVD.
    Exporting looks like this:

  • Importing Masters and Versions from iPhoto

    Is it possible to import both Masters and the associated Adjusted Versions from iPhoto into Aperture 3?
    The manual tells how to import the masters into the Aperture library but does not seem to tell how to import the corresponding versions adjusted in iPhoto.

    In iPhoto all images are masters in a sense. When you adjusted an image in iPhoto a duplicate image was made and the adjustments were done to the duplicate giving you two separate files.
    When you import your iPhoto library into Aperture these two files (the original and the adjusted image) are two separate files as far as Aperture is concerned. Aperture will keep them together and apply keywords to each to help you sort it all out once you running the Aperture library but they will not have the same master version relationship that masters and versions created in Aperture have.
    So when you import your iPhoto library all images will come over, you don't need to do anything special to get the adjusted images.

  • Importing to Organizer 12 from iPhoto

    I am just starting to use Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer. I do not want to import my entire iPhoto library however, so how can I import ONLY ONE or a select group of events or albums?

    Export photos from iPhoto to the desktop; then import them into Organizer.
    But if you want to avoid duplication on your hard drive it's best to use only one file manager. Choose either iPhoto or Organizer but not both.
    If most of your images are in iPhoto you may wish to set up the PSE editor application as your external editor in iPhoto preferences. You can then select thumbnails in iPhoto and choose edit in PSE.

  • How to import only master files from iPhoto

    Hi,
    When I import an event or an album in Aperture from iPhoto, both the master and the corrected file are imported as a stack. But I would like in fact to have only the master file and rework (if necessary) the changes into aperture versioning system.
    So, is it possible (I do not see how) when importing to tell Aperture to import only the master?
    Otherwise, is it possible to ask Aperture to delete the corrected version only without having to do them one by one?
    Thanks

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Make an Alias to the Originals folder and drag the alias to the Desktop or whereever you want it.
    Now when you import, in the Import dialogue choose the Alias and it will bring you directly to the Originals Folder.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • Slideshow project shared from iPhoto causes iDVD to crash

    I've searched the forum and found a few threads that sounded like they pertained to this issue, but I didn't see much discussion beyond the question or any answers that had confirmations that they solved the problem.
    I've created a slideshow project in iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5), and I used the "Send to iDVD" option from the "Share" menu to send it to iDVD '08 (version 7.0.4). The export appears to work, a menu button appears in iDVD, and I'm able to work in iDVD to make changes to the theme, menu text, etc. However, if I try to actually view the slideshow movie in iDVD (either by double clicking on the menu button in the iDVD interface, or by using the "Preview DVD playback" button and then choosing the movie from the DVD menu), iDVD crashes. This is happening consistently. I've gone to my Movies folder and found the exported movie file that iPhoto created. This plays back in QuickTime Player just fine. If I add the movie to my iDVD project manually (as opposed to using the "Send to iDVD" option in iPhoto), it still causes iDVD to crash if I try to preview it.
    Out of curiosity I brought a non-iPhoto generated QuickTime movie into iDVD, and it played back with no problem. I checked the compression format. The movie that worked was an Apple Motion JPG A movie file. I tried another non-iPhoto generated QuickTime movie file. This time iDVD crashed again. I noticed that this second non-iPhoto generated movie file said it was using the "Apple MPEG4 Decompressor" which is the same format as the movie file that iPhoto did create. I then tried an Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 QuickTime movie file and that worked just fine. Is that the problem? Apple MPEG-4 Decompressor movie files cause iDVD to crash? Could that really be possible when this is the format that iPhoto uses when exporting? Is there a solution? I don't see a way to select a different compression format when exporting/sharing a slideshow from iPhoto.
    I discovered this problem while teaching a class to 12 students who don't know much about doing creative projects on a Mac. There are going to be 12 folks who don't think very much of Apple's computers and/or its software if I don't get this problem solved quickly (last day of class is tomorrow). Everything has been going along swimmingly up until this final step of getting the slideshow into iDVD and then burning it to take home. I'm stunned that this isn't working since I've never run into this problem before, but it's happening consistently with every workstation I've tried here in this lab. All computers are running iLife '08. We're all trying to do the same thing. Slideshow project created in iPhoto, trying to send it to iDVD for burning. I been doing stuff with iPhoto and iDVD for years without problems, so I didn't think I needed to run through an entire process here in this lab before teaching the class. I just expected everything to work like it always does. D'oh!
    Help!

    UPDATE:
    In case you're interested.... Just because iDVD crashes when I try to preview my slideshow movie from iPhoto doesn't mean I can't successfully burn my DVD project to disc. I was skeptical, but it works. The burn process went off without a hitch, and the DVD plays back using Mac OS X's built-in DVD Player.
    Another workaround is to use the "OneStep DVD from Movie..." option in the iDVD file menu and avoid working inside of iDVD.
    Someone suggested that perhaps my trouble was connected to using a legacy theme as opposed to one of the newest 7.0 themes. Any truth to that?
    Just because I can burn a DVD successfully doesn't mean I wouldn't still like to fix the crash problem if possible. I'm grateful that I now know that I can work around the crashing problem, but I do think it's something that should be fixed and not just avoided.

  • Importing a finished book from iphoto to apeture

    Can you import a finished book from the iphoto library to apeture?

    As iPhoto has some funny pages layout (but with less control), I use iPhoto to do some pages for my Aperture books. Print the page to PDF then use Photoshop to convert the appropriate page to JPG then import to your Aperture book.
    You can use the same steps with pages designed in any other apps (Pages, ...)
