IPhoto Rotations Annoyingly Revert in iMovie

Others have complained that despite having the latest iPhoto update, photos taken in portrait mode (which appear sideways when imported), and rotated in iPhoto, revert to the sideways view in the iMovie Photos pane.
Having tested this with a newly-taken photo, I find that it is indeed the case.
Presumably this is because only the thumbnail is rotated and not the original file.
This does not personally affect me because I use iPhoto to store photos only when importing to iMovie, and my rotating is done elsewhere.
However, it clearly is a significant problem for those who fully utilise iPhoto as their primary storage destination.
Is this a bug? Is there a work-around?

I have a problem of clips(30 sec. say) being imported into iPhoto sideways and then I can find no way to rotate them because QuickTime takes over....
Is that similar to what you're describing and does that happen to you?

  • Rotated Photos in iPhoto Annoyingly Revert in iMovie

    I have posted this also in the iMovie HD forum, but have had no response there.

  • When I first turned on iMovie all videos from iPhoto automatically were found. Now I have more videos on iphoto, how do I get iMovie to find the new ones?

    Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • Unable to import a vid clip of 267 MB from iphoto (6.0.6) to imovie (6.0.3)

    I am unable to import a vid clip of 267 MB from iphoto (6.0.6) to imovie (6.0.3). I tried changing the format from MPEG 1 to MPEG 4 via streamclip 1.8 but when trying to import a window comes up saying "Error during import - the file could not be imported: unknown error". It says this no matter what format I try. (MPEG 1,2,4 and compressing it to a zip. file. (20KBs, 44KBs, 115MBs etc.). Imovie "HELP" says that it should import at least the clip in the MPEG 4 format (115.9 MBs). Any thoughts on this appreciated ---- Toroya

    is your converted file playable with Quicktime Player?
    rename your converted file in Finder .. avoid any 'special' characters as  ☜ ©, blanks, 'signs' | \ …= dots ] ... just letters...
    .. just to mention: iM is a DV-editor.. preferrable, you should work with 'dv-streams' = best quality, no loss, have a look in Streamclip's Export Options ... esp. when working with allready highly compressed material as mpegs ....

  • Incorrect dates on iPhoto video when accessed by iMovie '09??

    Hi,
    I have a few videos in iPhoto. All have the correct time and date.
    iMovie '09 has access to these, but is showing the incorrect date on some of them (even though iPhoto is showing the correct date). The date is the same - 31 December 1903.
    It has been like this since I first used iMovie '09.
    Can anybody help?
    Cheers.
    BTW, how do I contact Apple support about something like this? I can't find any e-mail support.
    Message was edited by: NeddySeagoon

    NeddySeagoon - wondering if you found the answer to this?
    I too have iPhoto videos showing up in iMovie fine, but the dates are wrong in iMovie (correct in iPhoto).
    Also, I have updated video titles in iPhoto, but those titles are not showing up consistently in iMovie. Perhaps related issue, I'm not sure.
    Any idea if this could be a permissions issue? (Video is stored on an external drive). Or something else?
    Thanks!

  • My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: How can I find, and re-access my current library?

    My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: how can I find and re-access my current library?  I opened my iPhoto, and got the message that it needed to "update" to use this library.  I thought maybe there had been a software update since I last opened the program (2 days ago).  The library it opened was saved in a file on the desk-top.  My current file was just in iPhoto.  Please help!

    Best option: Restore from your back up.
    Otherwise:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .
    Regards
    TD

    The Early 2011 MacBook Pro shipped with Snow Leopard, so these are not the Mac App Store versions of iLife, they are the boxed software versions.
    If they are in an iWork '09 folder take them out and let them loose in the Apps folder. Then reindex your HDD.

  • How to rotate a clip in imovie

    How do I rotate a clip in iMovie?  I have gone to 'Adjust' then 'crop' then clicked on the rotate button but nothing happened.

    Happy to help. 
    Basically in iMovie 10 (unlike earlier versions) you cannot do any sort of editing on clips in events  (you can't even delete parts you don't want, only the whole clip).  So events are just repositeries for 'raw' clips.

    Did you ever get an answer to this? I just experienced the distortion when I imported a video from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto.

  • IPhoto movies have disappeared from iMovie 09

    Hello,
    I have been using iLife '09 for several months now. Up until a week ago, videos from my camera that were in iPhoto have always appeared in iMovie under "iPhoto Videos". These have now disappeared... how could this have happened and how do I get them back? iMovie would always automatically search for movies in iPhoto and create thumbnails and it now tells me there are "No Matching Videos" when I select "iPhoto Videos".
    The projects that I created with these videos remain in my project library and I can edit them.
    Any help is much appreciated...

    Woohoo!!! What a great tip. I've searched high and low for a solution to this and found miles of posts that didn't disclose this simple fix. Per your tip, I turned the music off for all my iPhoto slideshows (I only have 4) and, like magic, this triggered iMovie to rebuild the clip thumbnails. Now my iMovie "iPhoto Videos" is populated with all my clips neatly organized by iPhoto event. Neat!

  • Can you rotate a clip in imovie?

    Can you rotate a clip in imovie HD?

    afair, no.
    there were $$ plugins avail, or use the free tool MpegStreamclip to rotate your video.

  • Can i move iPhoto videos to events in iMovie ?

    Is it ok to create a new event in iMovie and drag iphoto videos into it from the iphoto videos list in the imovie event browser, and then delete the videos in iphoto via the Trash) ?
    Thanks in advance

    No. That would cause you to lose the videos.
    When you use videos in iMovie from the iPhoto section of the Event browser, it is referencing the copy in iPhoto.
