IPhoto will not import video clips from iPhoto

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer.  I opened iPhoto to import the photos from my camera role.  It imported the photos just fine up said "The following files could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format."  It is all the video files I took with my iPhone.  Never had this problem before.  I recently switched macs from my desktop to a new iMac.  I was having problems with iphoto not liking the video I previously had in iPhoto. 

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few videos into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

  • I don't want to import video clips from iPhoto!

    iMovie automatically imports video clips from iPhoto, and I don't need or want this to be done. I don't want to delete or move those clips from iPhoto, so is there a way to prevent the automatic transfer?

    Go to your Hotmail account on the web (NOT in mail), make a new folder (or folders) for the mail you want to keep and move the messages into it.
    Mail (and all other email clients) will download all messages in the inbox unless previously downloaded. That means downloaded with the client you are attaching now.
    Until that is done do not setup the account in mail.

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • How do i import video clips from iphoto to iMovie

    how do i import video clips from iPhoto to iMovie

  • How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

    I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!
    Ayca

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

  • PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO WILL NOT IMPORT INTO CLIP VIEWER WHERE MOVIE IS CREATED

    ok...please answer this question...i NEED it to be answered!!!!! When I try to put the Ken burns effect on a photo and then import it into the clip viewer, it will NOT let me!!!! Please H~E~L~P ME!!!!!!!!!
        HELP ME!!!!!

    Welcome to discussions!
    You have not told us enough information to H~E~L~P you.
    We need to know everything about your Mac, hard drive space (look at mine below). Go to "My Settings" at the right of this screen and fill out that information please.
    In the meantime, i'll throw a couple of ideas your way:
    If you are you trying to edit a previously imported image rendered by the Ken Burns Effect, there's an iMovie bug that prevents us from updating the clip when we empty the iMovie trash.

  • New iPhoto v.11 will not import photo folders from iPhoto 4 (G5 running Tiger))...

    How can I bring my old photos from iPhoto v.4 into new iPhoto v.11, which is already populated with pictures that were brought into my new iMac running Lion and iPhoto v.11 ...
    I used Migration Assistant to successfully bring that batch over from iPhoto v.8 on a laptop running OSX 10.5.8.
    I want to add the older photos to my new iMac so all my pics are in one place.
    I already tried to copy all the folders in iPhotoLibrary to my new desktop. iPhoto 11 doesn't import or recognize them if they are copied to new iphoto folder.

    Copy the old Library to the New mac.
    Open it with iPhoto 11 - this will upgrade it to an 11 Library.
    Use iPhoto Library Manager ($20) to merge the Libraries.
    It's the only way to merge libraries.

  • Lightroom 5.7 will not import video (.mov) from iPhone 5s- Windows 8.1 64bit

    I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit and Lightroom 5.7.  I am trying to import video from my iPhone 5s (.mov).  After trying to import multiple times, now previews are not showing up.  I received the message, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (13)."  Then it lists the individual file numbers.  Where do we go from here?

    There's a right way and a wrong way to fix this problem.
    If you get tired of searching for the right way, consider using a script named
    'Import Any Video'
    free by me here:
    robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
    If all goes well, it will be able to transcode it to a known good importable format, and then import the transcoded file instead. (the "right way" is to figure out how to get it to import the original file without transcoding).

  • Iphoto will not import any pics from iphone or camera anymore?

    I am having trouble importing photos from my Iphone and camera to iphoto.  Worked fine in the past and now it says it is file is unrecognizable format.
    Also when viewing photos, I see the thumbnails, but when I want to see a large version, i just get a black screen.  Any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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.

  • Importing video clips from iMac

    Hi all,
    I've just purchased a new iPhone 4 and can't seem to be able to import video clips from iPhoto onto the phone. Is there a particular format the files need to be or do I need another app or converter?
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    Toad, you are incorrect...
    However it is a PIA to get it to work.
    In very un-Apple-like fashion, it is a several step, unintuitive process that requires another program. Luckily a free program...
    1. Convert your file with Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) and use the iPad profile. (P.S. My original .mov file needed to be converted to work on iPad. The built-in "Create iPad or Apple TV version" function in iTunes would not work for me. I received a "The video is already in the correct format" message. Annoying...)
    2. Put the converted file into a folder
    3. With your iPad connected to your computer, go to iTunes and select the "Photos" tab on your iPad.
    4. IN the "Sync Photos From:" drop down box choose "Select folder" and select the folder that contains your video.
    5. Check the "Include Videos" check box.
    6. Hit the "Sync" button
    7. Now the video will be available in Keynote. No desktop version required...
    P.S. I am a PC... Not a Mac.

  • Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

    iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

    This is what that error means:
    -54
    permErr
    Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
    Download and launch  BatChmod.  Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window.  Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group.  Everyone will have R only.
    Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button.  When done try importing the files again.

  • Importing video clips into iphoto

    hi,
    is it possible to import video clips from a digital stills camera into iphoto? haven't had much luck doing it, can anyone help?
    thanks
    nick

    Hi nick,
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
