IPhoto '11 Flickr Video Export Issue

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '11, and for the first time last night attempted to export some videos to my Flickr page using the "Share" command (i've had no problems exporting photos using this method).
The videos I wanted to export uploaded correctly, but when I went to my Flickr page I noticed that the video thumbnail images were just blank white squares. I tried playing them anyway and found that the audio uploaded without a problem, but there isn't any video.
Has anyone else run into this issue? I assume that it has something to do with the encoding/formatting/compression that iPhoto uses prior to uploading to my Flickr account.
Any ideas?

Same problem happened to me.
I can view videos without a problem in iPhoto, but when I try to watch it on flickr after uploaded using iPhoto,
the video is just a white screen with sound.
The information pane on the right side of iPhoto says the videos is
1280x720 14.1MB MPEG-4
Using iPhoto 11 version9.4.3
The video is taken using Ricoh camera.

Video export issues with 5D mk II video

Using a trial version I keep running into issues with video slideshow export.
I have some 1080p '24fps' video clips from the 5D II, added them to a new Slideshow, did a Custom Export to h264 with height 720 (which from memory took the width to 1152) and 24fps - I want this to play on AppleTV, but the resulting video starts ok, but has multiple sections of blank video - in QT the frame rate has also been upped to 36fps!
It also takes a ridiculous amount of time to export a short clip, but that's seems par for the course for many of Apple's apps. This is on a 2008 8x3GHz Mac Pro with plenty of RAM, though running Leopard.
Anyone done any A/Bs of performance in Leopard vs Snow Leopard - does it make better usage of multiple cores? (They all have a little activity but it's 10% or so, perhaps 1 core at 70-80%, I can't understand even if it's not using all fully why one isn't getting maxed out with the conversion process).
The slideshow export function seems incredibly buggy - it used to output using AppleTv preset with incompatible frame rates, though they may have fixed that.

Just a thought, but 24p was just added to the markII through a firmware update.
Yes, which is why I thought it would be great for AppleTV which can only officially support 720p at 24fps (though 25fps will often work).
If I use an AppleTv preset it will now rescale to 960x540, but I want to use 1280x720.
Previously in 3.0 the AppleTV preset output 720p but at 30fps which is too high for AppleTV.
Are you sure it's not the footage? Have you tried it in FCP? Also, it maybe that 24p isn't supported in A3, but this all just conjecture on my part.
Good thought, but I would imagine QT is the engine supporting the Aperture exports, and if parameters are set correctly it should give the appropriate output.
I'll try using QT Pro and see what that does with a clip.

LR 5 Slideshow Video Export Issue

I've created a slideshow where all of the photos display properly within Lightroom's slideshow module. But when I export the slideshow to video (this doesn't happen for the pdf export), a few of my photos are rendered on screen at very low resolution/fuzzy. This only happens to a few of the photos and these same photos look fine if viewed within the LR slideshow module. It's just after export that a few of the photos get rendered at low resolution; all other photos in the slideshow are fine. Reading some posts, i tried deleting the previews for all of the photos and then re-rendering them at 1:1 and then trying the export again, but i get the same outcome...although this time, different photos were rendered at low resolution. Is this some kind of bug or have i failed to set a setting properly?

I can duplicate the issue of some landscape images appearing very soft in the MP4 slideshow video on my Windows 7 LR5.3 system.
To rule out issues I started by selecting all of the image files to be used in the Library module. Then I selected toolbar Library> Previews> Discard 1:1 previews. Next I selected Library> Previews> Build 1:1 Previews and then created the slideshow video again. None of the images appeared soft in the 1080p video created from Canon 5D MKII video files. In fact the results actually appear better than LR4.
If this doesn't resolve your issue please provide image file types you are using (Camera model, raw, JPEG, resolution), Slideshow video preset you are using (1080p, 720p etc.), and your Catalog Settings> File Handling> Standard Preview Size (2048, 1680, etc.).

Video Export Issues in Lightroom 4.1

Hi, I’m trying to export a H264 (.MOV) in its original format but with applied trimming. The file is exported as an exact copy of the original file with no trimming applied. I can export the trimmed version by selecting H264 and choosing max quality but suspect that this reduces the quality of the original file. The reason I suspect quality loss in the H264 exporting option is that if I export a full (unedited) clip, then the file size is substantially reduced from the original file size.
Can anyone suggest a good workflow that maintains the original file capture quality and enables trimming?
Many thanks

It Looks as if I’ve found the answer to the export option of ‘Original’.
To quote from Adobe Lightroom help “ the original option exports a copy of the file without any adjustments made in Lightroom”.
However, I’m still not sure if the H264 export option causes any file quality deterioration. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Video Exporting Issues

So I haven't exported anything since the Snow Leopard update, and I imagine this is the problem. I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 on my computer, and when I try to export my timeline, it only exports the first 10 seconds of the project. Nothing I seem to do (including deleting the cache and starting over basically) seems to fix the problem.

Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 is not compatible with Intel Macs, nor with Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.
It will install and (sort of) work but exhibit some very strange quirks. Some things will work one time but not the next.
That said, are you sure that you don't have mark in and out points set on the Timeline?
Also: If you are trying to export a Windows Media file, you must have the paid version of Flip4Mac. The free version will only export half of your clip, to a maximum of 30 seconds.

Exporting movies in iPhoto using 'Current' Setting, exports the first frame only

Hi,
When I export my iPhoto library into separate events using the 'Current' Setting, it exports all video / movie files as the original file type with a single frame in it.
I don't want to go through each event and drag and drop each video to the exported folder as that would be an enormous pain. Does anyone have ideas to fix this? I have edited some photos, so I don't want to export as 'original' if possible
Thanks!
iPhoto has the latest updates installed and the original videos play perfectly in iPhoto.

Yeah, I have upgraded from previous iPhoto versions, some videos are a few years old (.MOV iPhone format) and some are only a few months old (Canon EOS .MOV format), both export only first frame. I might have to recreate my iPhoto library and start fresh! Currently I am exporting as 'Original' and 'Current' to two different folders, and just grabbing the videos from the original and replacing the videos in the 'Current' folder.
LarryHN's solution works well, but when I add a second condition to select a specific event, I can't choose from a list of specific events (unlike albums). Entering in the event title (in the Event condition) sometimes adds videos from silmilar titled events.

Bizzare export issue

Here is a very weird export issue. Windows XP.
Project is set at h264 1920x1080 mono audio 29.97 fps
I have 30 shots that make up the sequence. Each shot is exactly 90 frames. I exported each sequence at h264 1920x1080 with one channel of audio. The first shot exports just fine and is 5 MB. The second shot exports at 10 MB. The third is 15 MB, the tenth shot is 50MB. But the picture is still 90 frames for each shot. BUT, when I export without audio each exported file is just 5 MB. If I look at the properties of each clip the duration of the video and audio is just 90 frames. If I open one of these clips in QuickTime Pro and re-export it as source then the files size goes back to 5 MB; same video, same audio yet with the correct file size.
Anyone seen this before?
Is there a setting that could be incorrect?

Weird, man. Not sure what might cause that.

Can you output iphoto slideshows in video formats?

Can you output iphoto slideshows in video formats? If so, which video formats? Is output in H.264 format with 4:3 aspect ratio possible? Thanks.

If you set the aspect ratio to 4:3 in iPhoto
you can use the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window and pick one of the sizes you'd like.
That will give you this format:
If you want to do more customization of the output follow Terence's export method.

Geotagging in iPhoto or Flickr?

If photos are geotagged in Flickr, is there any way to easily bring that lat/long data into iPhoto? Conversely, if the photos are geotagged in iPhoto, can that geographic info be easily transferred to Flickr? In other words, if I expect to have the photos in both Flickr and iPhoto, is there an easy way to input the location data only once and have it available in both iPhoto and Flickr?

Mike G.:
Yes, iPhoto has had fields in its "show photo info" windows for lat/lon/alt for a while now. It gets all this photo info from the EXIF data that exists in the jpeg before you import it into iPhoto. This EXIF data is written to your photo file by your digital camera, usually. When you import the photo file into iPhoto, the program reads in the EXIF data (time photo was taken, exposure, f-stop, etc.) and populates the fields in iPhoto's "show photo info" windows.
Hence, if you already have lat/lon/alt data in the EXIF of your photo file BEFORE you import it into iPhoto, then iPhoto will populate those fields upon import.
The "bug" in iPhoto, however, is that the EXIF file is never again refreshed after the photo has been imported. That is, if you import a photo, then manually go and and change the EXIF data in that original photo file (not in iPhoto), then the EXIF data will have been changed, but iPhoto won't know about it. It will just show you the cached EXIF info that it grabbed when it first imported the file.
Hence, if you want iPhoto to show you the lat/lon/alt data, you have to geotag BEFORE you import. OR, if you've already imported a non-geotagged photo, you can export that file, geotag it outside of iPhoto, and then re-import. But then, of course, you have to re-apply all the keywords and caption information to the newly re-imported photo. (pain in the butt!)
Of course, this is all sort of nitpicky: my only complaint is that iPhoto doesn't SHOW you the lat/lon exif data if you geotag after iPhoto import. But that lat/lon data IS still in the photo file. You can see this by using the iPhoto Flickr plugin to upload your geotagged photo to Flickr: when it shows up in flickr, the photo will have its lat/lon info and be properly placed on the map.
I just think it would be nice if you could see your geotagged photos lat/lon info in iPhoto without having to go to so much trouble.

IPhoto and Flickr - disappearing photos and involuntary syncing

After control-clicking on Check Now in one of my Flickr albums, within iPhoto of course, all of the pictures in the album disappeared, leaving only the name of the album in the list of Flickr albums in iPhoto.
The set made from that album is still present on the Flickr website (so far), even after navigating away from the page and coming back. I have no idea what is going on.
I assumed that Check Now would sync any changes I made to photos in that Flickr set back to the same photos on iPhoto.
I am worried that Flickr is now going to delete all of those photos entirely from iPhoto (as well as from the Flickr site). That would be a big problem. It hasn't done that so far, but who knows? I understand that the syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is two way - i.e. true syncing.
When your changes in Flickr sync back to iPhoto, does Flickr change your original in iPhoto (or whatever is serving as your original for Flickr's purposes - that is, the most recently modified version in iPhoto), or is there a separate version created just for uploading to Flickr, that is stored in the Flickr album on iPhoto, and that is the only version that is changed by Flickr when it is syncing back (to iPhoto)? I hope it is the latter. If not, many of us may be in for a surprise.
Should I delete the empty Flickr album from iPhoto, which should have the effect of deleting that set and its photos from the Flickr website, and start all over? This was a big, long upload, which is why I am hesitating.
I just started using Flickr yesterday and have had some trouble with it - for example, I've deleted albums/sets and re-uploaded them, for various reasons. Perhaps I've confused the poor thing.
I have Flickr Pro, if that makes a difference.
Confused.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The Flickr tool in iPhoto is both pretty neat and pretty frustrating. While I think it is a good start, it still needs work. I probably can not answer most of your questions, but I can clarify a few and offer my own experiences...
The set made from that album is still present on the Flickr website (so far), even after navigating away from the page and coming back. I have no idea what is going on.
That is weird. So the Flickr set in iPhoto cleared itself but the actual set on Flickr is still intact, right? Have you tried restarting your computer, going to disk utility and repairing disk permissions on your start up drive, then restarting iPhoto?
If that doesn't clear it up, you might try rebuilding the iPhoto library by closing iPhoto then restarting while holding down the Option key. Then try some of the rebuild options and see where that gets you.
I assumed that Check Now would sync any changes I made to photos in that Flickr set back to the same photos on iPhoto.
The syncing is two ways, but the Flickr sync back to iPhoto is more limited. For example, if you add keywords in Flickr those keywords will be synced back to iPhoto. However if you add a photo from your flickr account into that album, Flickr will send a small version thumbnail back to iPhoto, not the original photo.
But yes, to answer your question, all syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is more or less a two way sync.
I am worried that Flickr is now going to delete all of those photos entirely from iPhoto (as well as from the Flickr site). That would be a big problem. It hasn't done that so far, but who knows? I understand that the syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is two way - i.e. true syncing.
First off, Flickr can never remove anything from your iPhoto library. Perhaps a photo might be removed from a flickr album in your iPhoto, but the photo will still exist in your library. So you can not lose anything from your library using Flickr.
Second, if the Flickr album in your iPhoto is empty but the photos are still in the album in Flickr, then they will not be removed later. The sync tends to be a real time event where if you remove photos from an iPhoto Flickr album, iPhoto then begins to remove them from Flickr as well.
My own experience is that sometimes things happen like you experienced, where the iPhoto Flickr album gets "disconnected" from the on-line Flickr album. At this point there is no longer a connection and one doesn't effect the other. I have not found a way to relink the two which is one of the weak points of the new iPhoto Flickr syncing.
As a side note, a nice feature would be a menu item to actually do that, disconnect iPhoto from an on-line album, as it would be nice to be able to upload an album, then disconnect it so no further changes are made to Flickr regardless of what happens to the iPhoto album. Basically a "do not update" setting.
When your changes in Flickr sync back to iPhoto, does Flickr change your original in iPhoto (or whatever is serving as your original for Flickr's purposes - that is, the most recently modified version in iPhoto), or is there a separate version created just for uploading to Flickr, that is stored in the Flickr album on iPhoto, and that is the only version that is changed by Flickr when it is syncing back (to iPhoto)? I hope it is the latter. If not, many of us may be in for a surprise.
To the best of my knowledge, Flickr does not sync back actual changes to the photo itself. It will sync back things like album name changes, title changes, keyword additions, and stuff like that. However I have never actually tried publishing an album to Flick then editing a photo in that album in Flickr to see what it does. I should try that to see. Generally, if I have used iPhoto to publish photos to Flickr, then I use iPhoto to make any edits to the photo, not Flickr.
Should I delete the empty Flickr album from iPhoto, which should have the effect of deleting that set and its photos from the Flickr website, and start all over? This was a big, long upload, which is why I am hesitating.
As I mentioned above, if the album in iPhoto is empty but everything is still intact on Flickr, then likely the album in iPhoto was "disconnected" (link lost) from the Flickr album. When you go into that album in iPhoto, does it still show a Flickr link in the upper left? If so, what happens when you click that link? Does it take you to the album?
I just started using Flickr yesterday and have had some trouble with it - for example, I've deleted albums/sets and re-uploaded them, for various reasons. Perhaps I've confused the poor thing.
Flickr is pretty good. It is the iPhoto to Flickr interface and syncing that is a bit weak. It sounds like your issues are with iPhoto's syncing with Flickr than with anything to do with Flickr itself.
I myself use a number of tools with Flickr and I find iPhoto doesn't offer many choices on how it works with Flickr. Actually it doesn't really offer any choices, you get one method of interaction and that is it. So for many tasks I use other tools to get photos onto Flickr.
That said, if you have a full album/event you want to put on Flickr, the iPhoto interface is very handy for publishing a set on Flickr with keywords, map data, etc. and allows you to edit photos later and have those updates automatically go to Flickr as well. But with that comes some problems like being able to edit a photo in iPhoto for a different purpose, perhaps forgetting you added it to a Flickr album since you are accessing the photo elsewhere in iPhoto than that Flickr set, and then having those edits updated to Flickr without you realizing or intending.

More info about my question - there is an emanating wave or broadcast signal icon beside each Flickr album name in the iPhoto source menu. It looks a bit like the Airport signal icon along the top bar of the computer screen. When you click on it, the sync symbol appears and goes round and round for awhile. So that is how you manually sync Flickr albums and sets I guess.
Yes, even if you just click on the set to look at it in iPhoto, you will usually see the little "broadcast" icon indicate it is checking the set against the Flickr set. Usually you see one of several icons. The little broadcast icon like the airport signal simply indicates that the set is synced to a Flickr set but is currently idle. When you click that icon or the set, the icon changes to a circle. A couple of swirling arrows in the circle indicates it is checking online. If there are updates then the circle goes blank and you start to see an advancing pie piece indicating how much of the sync is complete. If the circle just sits there blank for a long time, then the sync has stalled or not working.
One album has the symbol, and two don't. These are the two I had trouble with today (deleting and re-uploading, etc.)
The album that has the symbol also has a link at the top of the photos to the page on Flickr containing that photo set.
The two albums that don't have the symbol do not display a link to the appropriate Flickr page. The corresponding sets are both visible on Flickr, however, as I said.
Perhaps I should start all over?
Ah, ok that answers the question I asked above. Sounds like the two albums somehow got de-linked from Flickr. Both sets show up on the left side under the Flickr listings?
If that is the case, you have a couple of options.
One is if you are satisfied with the set as it appears over in Flickr and don't really have a need to keep a live link between the two (Flickr and iPhoto) you can probably delete those sets from our of iPhoto's "Flickr" albums and your Flickr sets will stay.
On the other hand, if you wish to keep a live link to the two albums so you can continue to edit or update the album, keywords, photos, etc. then you probably want to redo those two.
Unfortunately as I said above, I don't know how to get an album to RE-link back to Flickr once that link has been broken and where it has happened to me I either have removed the set from iPhoto, removed the set and all photos from Flickr (using the Flickr web site tools), then recreating the set in iPhoto and clicking the Flickr upload button again to recreate the whole thing. Or I leave the set on Flickr and continue to work with it directly at Flickr using other tools to add additional photos and doing all my edits on the set or the photos from the Flickr website itself.

Is ILife 11 the current version today? Will its purchase upgrade my Iphoto 8.2.1 to Iphoto 11? I have a Macbook, Maverick and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos. I understand ILife is the way to fix it.

Is ILife 11 the current version today? (May 2014). ILife 11 on Amazon appears to be 3+ yrs old?
When searching for ILife 11 on the Apple Store, I am directed to a separate purchase of Iphoto version 9.
Somewhat confusing, Apple is always so clear with these things.
The goal is to upgrade my Iphoto 8.2.1 to Iphoto 11.
I have a Macbook Pro, Maverick 10.9.2 and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos.
I understand ILife is the way to fix it.
Thanks!

The current version of iPhoto is iPhoto 9.5.1., and it is the latest version of iPhoto '11.
If you are running Mavericks 10.9.2, you can buy iPhoto 9.5.1 from the AppStore - it is the currently sold version.
The iLife bundle is called iLife '11, and the iPhot version in iLife '11 is iPhoto 9.x.x. - that is confusing allright
I have a Macbook Pro, Maverick 10.9.2 and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos.
While it is certainly useful to upgrade to the current iPhoto version to be fully compatible with MacOs X 10.9.2, there may be a differnet reason for the crashes. Is there an error message with the crashes? When did these start? Did you import new photos or videos? Install other software?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Iphoto crashes when i export

Iphoto crashes when I export - help

Well don't throw it if you want the pictures of your child. Of course, you have a back up, right? I mean you wouldn't have something as precious as these photos that you "can NOT lose" without having a back up. That would be just stupid, right?
And you're not stupid, right?
For the benefit of folks out there who may not have a back up: you don't need to launch iPhoto at all to make one.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Anyway, the least of your problems right now is iPhoto. You have a much more serious issue either with Hardware or your OS. I'd post on the forum for your iMac for help with that.

Simple flash export issue

Video format issues - imovie 11

I'm having difficulty getting my videos exported from LR4.1 and imported into iMovie11 (or converted with QuickTimePro).
I'm exporting with H.264 to maintain edits I've made (mov is just a copy of original video but does allow import into QuickTime).
When I import into iMovie11, the only visual is a still frame of the video. The audio works just fine, but there no video. I've optimized the video for full size to ensure its not a performance issue (also on a brand new iMac, so that shouldn't be the problem). From searching around it appears to be a codec issue, so I figured I'd convert it to a different format with QuickTime Pro. When I try and save as a self contained movie (mov format) QTPro fails and says that the movie "contains an incorrect time value". I've had some success with trial versions of other software that converts to different formats, but I don't want to have to buy another piece of software, or do a whole other step!

I've done a workaround by just using adobe premiere elements10 instead of imovie11. imovie sucks.... i can't quite edit with as much flexibility in premiere elements, but it's much better at video editing and it's got some rough color correction / brightness tools.
