Jump in between moving photos

Just upgraded to fce 4 and did my first "memory video" using photos and the Ken Burns style. I noticed that in the middle of the dissolve (1 sec) where the two photos meet on the timeline it looks like the picture jumps up and down. I went back to my old setup on my G4 and FCE 2 with the same pictures and it is perfect and smooth in between each photo. Am I doing something wrong? All the settings and format of the pictures are the same on import.
Thanks for any help or suggestions as I want to ween myself off this old machine.
Mike

Hi -
Hopefully this will help:
I place two images on the timeline back to back as a straight edit:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/TransDemo1.jpg!
I set up scale and motion points on the first and last frame of the first image:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/TransDemo2.jpg!
. . . and likewise on the second image as well:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/TransDemo3.jpg!
and because I have Toggle Clip Keyframes set on, I can see these keyframes on the timeline and see that they do indeed live at the first and last frame of each clip:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/TransDemo4.jpg!
So, now I apply my transition:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/TransDemo5.jpg!
. . . but notice that *my start and end of move keyframes stayed right where I put them,* and this is a problem because with the transition installed, my second scene actually starts now before the first keyframe I assigned to it, and the first scene ends after the last keyframe I assigned to it, while my keyframes stayed right where I left them = no longer at the first and last points of the scene. Play this now and the first scene will stop moving halfway through the transition, and the second scene will start moving halfway through the transition:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/TransDemo5A.jpg!
So what you need to do it to adjust the outgoing scenes final keyframe, and the incoming scenes first keyframe so that they are placed after and before (respectively) the duration of the transition:

Hope this helps.

Moving photos between projects

I'm having a problem - erratically - moving photos from one project to another. When I select one photo & drag it to a different project - the entire project gets moved instead of just the one selected photo. (I've double checked that there are no photos selected before I select the photo that I want to move.)
If I cancel the move, I end up with missing thumbnails & sometimes missing photos.
This is erratic because sometimes dragging one photo to another project works.

It is really hard to tell what might be happening - we need more details:
What is your Aperture version? The most recent Aperture 3.4.1?
Are your images referenced or managed? Raw or jpegs?
How did you edit them? With Aperture or an external editor?
Do you create new versions when editing and stack them, or edit the current version?
And after moving to a new project, the preview of the version shows the original master, but the thumbnail shows the original edits? Is that correct?
I Suspect, when you moved the images, they lost their previews. As a test, duplicate an image version (Photo > Duplicate Version) and force the generation of a new preview (Ctrl-click, hold down the options key ⌥, select "Generate Preview"). Does that bring back the edits? Also you could try to export the image version ans see, if the edits are still there.

Moving photos OUT of iPhoto and/or Aperture

I would like to move my photos OUT of the iPhoto library. I would prefer to house them on an external drive. I want them in a directory strucutre that looks something like this:
Photos/Year/Date_Event/picture.jpg
This is my structure on my PC
When I view the "contents" of the iPhoto Library package, I see a subdirectory called Originals, as well as another called Masters. Which directory actually contains the original files.
When I've tried to copy the photos from either of these locations, the copy action begins copying another iPhoto Library, and that's not what I'm after.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
In simpler terms, I'd like iPhoto and/or Aperture to work like iTunes can. The database has a pointer to the original that exists OUTSIDE of the actual library itself.
Is this possible?

This is trivial on Aperture, use the Relocate Masters command. Pay more for the app you get more options.
It's not possible on iPhoto unless you start over from scratch with a whole new Library - and even then, there really, really is no need. It's also very unwise, with iPhoto to have the Photos on one volume and the Library on another.
Finally, what you have on Windows is basic File Management. The problem with that is that as a system it sees no difference between a Photo and a Word file or mp3. Yet each of these has options specific to the type of data they contain, and the file system misses all of that. Hence iPhoto (and Aperture) are designed for people who want to organise their photos and not the files that contain them.
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
This is an attractive option for some users at face value, but it contains a significant number of issues that you might want to consider before making the decision to run a Referenced Library
How to do it:
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck the box at 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library'
Now when you import iPhoto makes an alias in the Library Package that points to the stored file. Note: iPhoto still creates a thumbnail of the image and it makes a Preview of edited photos inside the Library Package.
Issues?
1. You are responsible for file management. That's more work:
You must first move the files from your camera to the storage location before importing.
If you want to delete files then you must first trash them from iPhoto and then afterwards find them in your storage and trash them.
Thereafter, you cannot move the files on early versions of iPhoto at all, on iPhoto 08 and later you may move them on the same Volume or Disk. If you move them to a new volume or disk the aliases my break. If they are on an different volume and you move them the aliases will break.
You cannot rename the files.
Migrating: moving to a new machine, moving the files to another disk are all a lot more complex.
2. You gain no extra functionality from running a Referenced Library. Nothing. This is just storage. You still manage the files via iPhoto. You edit them with iPhoto or via iPhoto's External Editor setting, otherwise you're changes will not be available in iPhoto. You don't save byte of storage space.
3. If you have the Library on one volume and the photos on another you if anything changes in the path to a file (Like if you upgrade your machine, move the files on the NAS or on to another one?) then the alias will break, and you'll have to repair it manually. For every photo in the Library. One at a time.
Why do you want to run a Referenced Library?
Because my photos won't fit on my HD?
You can run a Managed library from an external disk. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
You're worried about accessing the files?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

Is there really no other way than via third party software??
Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
Wow, really?
I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How do I free up space on my C drive by moving photos to a separate hard drive on the same pc?

I need to free up space on my C Drive by moving photos to Seagate expansion (H) drive. Currently use Windows Vista and elements 11 where I have organiser containing folders and albums which I want to keep intact after the move. Photos are currently held in C:users, valued customer, pictures. I’m pretty ignorant on how to do this but have tried to read and follow the FAQs and previous advice and think I have some understanding(!) I have made a catalog back up onto a separate Seagate expansion drive (F) and although the files appear to have been renamed as ‘B0000001’ for example, I believe this is normal and I can also see a backup.tly and a catalog.buc file so I’m assuming the backup was successful. I think I need to take the following steps;
1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.
7. In future any new photos I take and import into Element 11 organiser, I’ll save on the (H) drive.
Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
Thanks.

It's much simpler:

Yes, the renaming is normal and the fact you can see a backup.tly file is good. However, even if you are 99% sure that the backup is ok, the only way to be 100% sure would be to restore somewhere else... (being somewhat paranoid!)
I think I need to take the following steps;
1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
Dragging a master folder also drags its subfolders, no problem.
2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
No, no need to do that. When you move (by drag and drop or the move menu) the organizer automatically updates the catalog.
3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
The drag and drop procedure really moves, that is to say : copies the files to the new location AND deletes the files in the old location. Note that if there is a problem in the file transfer, the original files won't be deleted. The transfer of big libraries can require several hours. That happened to me with a power outage at 95% of the process. The files already copied stayed on the new computer, the original files were not deleted and the database of the catalog rolled back to the initial situation as if I had done nothing. So dragging and dropping is safe, at least on recent PSE versions.
4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.
7. In future any new photos I take and import into Element 11 organiser, I’ll save on the (H) drive.
Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
Thanks.
If you take a new backup, it will include all the files recorded in the catalog. If you still have pictures on your C: drive, and possibly others on other external drives, everything will be backed up. You can't specify a backup for images in a given disk, only for all images in a catalog. For instance, you can move only a part of your images on your C: drive. You can add pictures in the drive you want, C: or H:

Using iPad 2 photos and have not found key to organizing or moving photos from one album to another existing album

With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?

If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

Moving photos from photo stream to an album

How can I move pictures from a photostream to a album? do i need to move them to the camera roll first?

Moving photos first to the camera roll is the only solution to moving photos to an album...a bit time consuming if you have many photos.

IPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.

iPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.
How to? Please...I cut and paste items, it is removed from iphoto for a few seconds then they appear again.

The photos that are appearing on the mini - are they photos taken with an iPhone or iPad? If so, open System Preferences on both computers and select the iCloud tab. On the mini, click the Photos checkmark off and on the MBP click the Photos checkmark on (if it isn't already), then start iPhoto and select Preferences. Select the Photo Stream tab and make sure Photo Stream is on.

How to insert a photo in between two photos ?

I have a series of photos with all the transition in placed.
I now wanted to place a still photo in between the 2 still photos. But when I drag the clip to the boundary between them, it doesn't allow me to do it as the when I release the mouse, the photos when went back to the clip pane.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Moving Photos Around

I'm having trouble moving photos from my computer to my iPhone and deleting photos from my iPhone Photos album. I've done it before, but don't remember how. I've tried using iTunes, but that wasn't the answer. What am I forgetting to do here?

iTunes does not store photos, but you use iTunes to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
if you use iPhoto on your Mac for photo storage, create an iPhoto album or multiple albums, and place the photos you want in the album or albums.
Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select iPhoto for sync photos from.
Choose selected albums and then select the iPhoto albums available in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
To add additional photos to your iPhone, transfer the photos to an iPhoto album that is currently being transferred to your iPhone, or create a new iPhoto album and select the new album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
To remove an entire album from your iPhone, deselect the album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. To remove select photos from an existing album that is transferred to your iPhone, remove the photos from the photo album in iPhoto followed by a sync.

When I use the type tool or the selection tools, my photos blink between the photo and a black screen. Anyone else have this issue?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

What is the difference between the photo library and the photo stream?

What is the difference between the photo library and the photo stream on the I phone?

Photo Library stores photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

Storage dropped from 16GB to 7.5GB after moving photos to PC. Why?

I was nearing capacity on my 16GB iphone, so I moved photos to my PC. Now storage shows 7.5GB available instead of 16GB (7.5 GB Available, 6.1 GB Used). How do I get my storage back up to 16 GB?

HI Trev
This is quite odd. First of all i would like you to check your photos whether if it has increased or not. Could you please check whether new apps or videos are automatticaly synced to your phone while moving to pc?
This could be the problem. While elses you are transferring you photos from iphone to pc via itunes, Itunes automattical sync the apps which are not installed in your iphone from the pc.
Cheers
Kyaw
