IPhoto 08 ' converted video to stills

I'm having a huge problem with the new iPhoto. Recently, I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro and started to import my backup iPhoto library. As I started to organize my photos I noticed that about half of my video clips were converted to still images. Thank God I have a backup! Has anyone else had this problem? Also, The video taken was from my digital camera.
Thanks,
Travis

I recently experienced exactly the same problem! Initially, I began noticing that there were photos missing from my iPhone's library. I was confused at first as to whether I had actually placed them on my iPhone. Then I checked my iPhoto library and saw that the photos missing from the iPhone were also missing from my iPhoto library. After researching this problem in various online forums, I found that others had encountered problems with photos "disappearing" from iPhoto, and that they had tried to solve it by restarting iPhoto with the apple key pressed and rebuilding their iPhoto library (since the photos had not really been deleted but where still in their respective folders within the "Pictures" folder). I tried this and it seemed to bring back into iPhoto many of the missing photos, but after closing iPhoto and relaunching it a few days later, the photos were again missing. I tried again rebuilding the library and telling iPhoto to locate "orphaned" photos. This seems to have brought the photos back for now. However, I discovered recently that several videos were missing, only their respective thumbnails being available. I looked in the actual folders where they would have been stored, and they are clearly no longer there. All I could find was their thumbnails. I am very disappointed in iPhoto!
Thanks

Deleted videos from iphoto but they are still showing up in the finder?

I deleted all of my videos from iPhoto and moved them to an external hard drive because I wanted to free up some space on my MacBook Air. The files are no longer visible in the iPhoto application, but for some reason, when I look at the storage space on my computer, it is still showing that I have 8GB of movies on my computer. If I search in the Finder, it is showing that a lot of these videos that I deleted from iPhoto are still in a "Masters" folder in iPhoto. I am confused, though, because if I open iPhoto, the videos are not in there. I want these video files to be deleted for good - can I just go in to the "Masters" folder in the Finder and delete them there? I've read not to delete anything from iPhoto in the Finder, though. So, getting very frustrated because I'm not sure why these files aren't fully deleted off my computer. Any suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You aren't running iOS if you are using iPhoto, or a Classic operating system. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and find out what you really are running, and then use this link to post in the right place:

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Display won't sleep when converting video to iphone in itunes

Whenever I convert video files to iphone under the advanced menu in itunes, my display wont sleep and the screensaver will not come on. I tried using the hot corners and the display sleeps for a few seconds and them awakens. Since conversions can take quite a while, is there any alternate method to sleep or temporarily shut off the display. I have also tried the sleep display widget and it does nothing for me.
Thanks!

if it's still within 12 months hardware warranty call apple and have tech support diagnose the fault. If it turns out to be hardware related -which mine was- SEND IT BACK. IF it's hardware, there's almost zip you can do except wait longer and get closer to the end of your warranty.
My sleep issue...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4126127#4126127
was hardware related and I ended getting a refund. Admittedly I have had a REALLY duff machine and the sleep issue was the last in a run of hardware malfunctions but if I never pursued Apple regarding a seemingly innocuous issue I would have come to the end of my warranty and been stuck with it. Now I have my money back - enough to buy a 17" C2D with a 200GB HD for less than I bought the original 15 in CD for. If it's broken get it fixed.
Hope this helps.

Good video, poor still picture when export to QuickTime Movie

I exported my project from Final Cut Pro. Had video and still images. When viewing expoprted video in QuickTime Movie, the video looks good but the still images look distorted (pixulated). The images were ~2.0 MB each. If I make the viewer window for QuickTime Movie small, then images look good. I imported the images from IPhoto and if I open a big windom for viewing the images in IPhoto, they look great, just not in my finished video. Please help. Thanks

Thank you so much for replying.
I am really new to Final Cut Pro (Have version 5)
I am using version 7.7 of QUICK TIME.
I did not resize the images. I justdragged image from IPhoto and insertd into timeline on Final Cut Pro. How should I resize.
My video setting is: DV NTSC 48kHz using NTSC (720x480)
I am going to take a course on Final Cut, but I have so much footage an I wanted to put out some video in the meantime.
Let me know any suggestions.
Thank you

Error in converting video?? not enough memory??

I've tried converting a 1 hour video but halfway through conversion it stops and a message comes up saying "error: cannot convert video, not enough memory"
I've tried deleting heaps of stuff off my itunes as well as my computer but it still keeps on doing that. I've also tried leaving itunes as the only application open while it is converting.
Is it talking about a different type of memory? on just itunes? or computer?

So you have about a gig of ram? Well, that isn't so high when it comes to video encoding, especially if you may be doing other things on the computer at the same time (web browsing, etc etc etc). Try quitting EVERY program except the current conversion you're doing.

Converting video files to mp4 for nano 3rd gen

I'm trying to find a quick, easy, hassle free way of converting video files such as mpg and avi to mp4 so that i can watch them on my new ipod nano.
Anyone got any suggestions and ideas?

Ricktoronto and others,
Thanks for all the advice! I do have MPEG Streamclip and I'd thought about it, but have not really used it all that much. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking at it but just did now and see that you convert to Quicktime and in there, you select Apple MPEG-4 and do all your adjustments. Now my version says that it will convert to H264. Does that function not work right?
The bottom line though is I ended up returning the Video iPod. The biggest drawback is the fact that it does not have Firewire as all I have are Macs with USB 1.1. I could upgrade my Blue & White G3 and put a USB 2.0 card in it but that machine would be REAL slow to convert video. And my iMac of course, can't be upgraded. If I had USB 2.0 or the iPod had Firewire, I would have kept it....
Still, I'll mess with the conversion programs and see what works best. I'll figure out how to do everything and then once I'm up to speed, maybe consider getting one.

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Loss of sound when converting video files

In iTunes 7 I am converting my video files such as avi so that I can put them on my ipod, but for some reason it stopped having sound. The video is still fine, but the sound is gone. It worked fine for the first 10 files or so and then it just stopped. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?
iTunes 7 Windows XP Pro
Windows XP Pro

most likely you need to demux the file (untangle the audio and video). MPEG Streamclip is a good way to go to do this.
Export as a Quicktime DV-NTSC or DV-PAL (depending on your part of the world) and all should be good.

PC turns itself off while converting video files!

HP TouchSmart 610-1020a
i5 6GB RAM 64Bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
Lately having issues while trying to convert video files with Nero 11 or/and Xilisoft Video Converter 6 (Both full versions and registered software). Everytime I start with converting video files, couple of minutes later the computer crashes; it switches OFF by itself and I can't do nothing about it. I have changed the Power Safe mode (computer NEVER goes to sleep or Hibernate) still having the same problem.
Any help is more than welcome!

Thanks Mate,

Converting videos to play on iPod takes away sound

For some reason, every time I convert a video in iTunes to play on my iPod, the sound is removed. The original video and the converted video will both play in iTunes, and the original video will have the sound and the converted video will not. Obviously, when I move the converted video to the iPod, the sound still doesn't play.
I've downloaded a few video podcasts (the Strong Bad e-mails) in iPod format already, and they work just fine. It's just ones I convert manually in iTunes that have this problem.

Quicktime doesn't play "muxed" video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
You need a 3rd party converter such as Handbrake, or MPEG Streamclip to convert the video file.
The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
-or-
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
