Iphoto play video jumpy

Why in iphoto videos play back jumpy when I drag video to decktop video play find on quicktime.

What is your iPhoto version? And what is the format of your videos?
What did you do, before this problem occurred? Upgraded or installed software? Imported photos or videos? Moved your iPhoto library?

IPhoto Played Video But Hung 100% CPU + AVF error: branch_QT0, getCmdListAsync

Any ideas on what
iPhoto: AVF error: branch_QT0, getCmdListAsync
Means and what may be causing it?
Thanks.
Imran

Same thing happened today....
Playing a different 30 second iPhone video in iPhoto, stopped it, double clicked it and it took iPhoto to 100% CPU (one core or distributed on four but still totaling around 100%) and Console shows one instance of:
7/24/12 2:37:29.386 PM iPhoto: AVF error: branch_QT0, getCmdListAsync
Activity Monitor reports 1 recent hang (this one probably) and no other Faults.
Wonder if anyone has a clue what this error is about. Seems to be QuickTime related, from the QT reference, but that is a guess on my part.

Playing video in iPhoto slideshow

hi,
I'm regularly recording video with my digital camera that is transfered to iPhoto along with all pictures. The problem is that these videos don't play when I present a slideshow of an event in my computer or in AppleTV.
I used Visual Hub to convert the .avi to .mp4 files optimized for iTunes but still these converted videos won't show up in an iPhoto slideshow. Is this a non-feature of the program or I'm doing something wrong? Can I sync videos from an iPhoto album and see them in my AppleTV?
Thank you!

You cannot play video as part of an iPhoto slideshow. PhotoPresenter is an app that allows this.

IPhoto '08 would not play videos in Mavericks 10.9.1

I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.1 and my iPhoto '08 (v7.1.5) would not play video anymore. Is there a software compatibility problem?

What OS did you upgrade from?

Cannot play videos in iPhoto since SL upgrade

Since I upgraded to SL, it appears that I cannot play videos that I have loaded to iPhoto. I go into an event in iPhoto in which I have some digital camera videos and they do not play. These used to open in QuickTime and run fine. When I click on the video and choose "Show File", it will show me where the file lives. These are fine on my computer and can now run them from here, but it used to work right in iPhoto. Has anybody had this happen to them? Is it a bug with SL or is there a new setting or something I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, it's a bug. Have you applied the Mac OS X v10.6.1 Update? If not do so and try again. If that doesn't work all we can do is report the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

I am unable to play videos in iPhoto that I took on my iPhone. They are in .mov format, but when I double click on them, per the help instructions, nothing happens.

You can't play movies in iPhoto. But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS. Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

HT1338 Issue w/playing videos from iPhone in iPhoto

QuickTime isn't playing videos in iPhoto downloaded from my iPhone 5. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Create a smart album with the following criteria:
Filename contains .m
This will group all of your movie/video files together, .mov, .m4v, and mp4. Then check to see if the lates videos are included. If the are Command (right) - click on one of the videos and select Show Event from the contextual menu.
The the videos are not in the library launch Image Capture (located in the Applications folder) and use it to manually upload the videos to a folder on the Desktop. From there import them into iPhoto.

IPhoto won't play videos (with QT7), after renaming video files in Finder

Hi folks,
My iPhoto9 played video files with Quick time when double clicking the video files in iPhoto. Yesterday I renamed approx 50 video files in Finder (double clicked and renamed them). Now iPhoto won't play them when double clickling. The only way to play them is to a) drag/drop to vlc or b) double click them in Finder.
How can I tell iPhoto to play the video files (interesting fact: the meta data still shows the video old file names)?
Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!!
Thanks

I have not changed default seetings, so I assume I'm running Managed libary.
The yes, that's the case. So, to do this you had to access the Package File and then rename the files. Wasn't the fact that the files are not directly accessible a hint?
I tried overwriting iLife09 (without deleting the version that was on -> it didn't help!!)
Nor would it. That might restore the applications (though without removing the receipts it won't be very effective) but the problem isn't the Applications. The problem is that you have corrupted the Library.
What if I delete iLife and reinstall it. Will iPhoto then be able to play the videos (that I previously renamed with Finder)?
No. Because, again, it will not undo what you did in the Library folder.
As you have no back up, you no have exactly one option: Create a new Library and start over from scratch, importing the originals from the Library you trashed.

Can't play videos in iphoto library anymore, why?

I'm running OS 10.6.8 with iPhoto 7.1.5. Nothing has changed with my camera and codecs that the Canon uses. I was previously able to play videos in iphoto. I think quicktime was linked but this is no longer the case. In order to play them I have to export as an original to the desktop and open the file via quicktime. This seems ridiculous since it worked before. What have I done? .....or what has Apple done? Thanks for your help.

How can I help?
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

My video that was taken with a digital camera and imported into iPhoto plays back at a very fast speed. Any ideas why?

Is it a slow motion video? iPhoto does not understand the slow motion tags created by some cameras, eg.g. the iPhone back camera.

After update from iphoto to photos I can no longer play video by space button

It was very convenient before to play videos in my iphoto library by simply pressing space. After last update space is only minimizing them. Any idea how to set it up as it was?

What happens when you try?

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

Playing Videos from iPhoto in any other player than Quicktime

Hi,
is there any way to make iPhoto open video files in anything but Quicktime X. I'd prefer them all starting in VLC.
Setting VLC as the default player for all .MPG files works when selecting the files in Finder, yet iPhoto will still try and start them in Quick Time.
This is very annoying. Has anybody managed to resolve this issue?

Hi Terence,
Well, your answer is certainly to the point!
U SURE??
I hate QT X. I have 7 and it seems to usually default to opening QT movies - except the ones in iPhoto.
What a shame there's no way to set iPhoto to default to using QT 7. But you're saying there's not!
Just confirming nothing's changed in the last 3 weeks!
Thanks . . .

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:
