Movie+photo= disaster in iMovie 08

Hi
I've tried to edit some movie clips adding some titles and photos in imovie 08. The footage is from a HD camera, the quality is great till I need to put some photos, when I had 5 photos, every new photo I put was displaced to another moment in the same timeline or it was in the time line but it doesn't appear in screen, even I've tried to put 2 photos and the 2nd one appears in the place of 1st. (no same name for photo files).
I don't really understand
Can anyone explain me?
Thanks a lot

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

How do i move photos from imovie to iphoto

How do I move photos from imovie to iphoto?

You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
However, there is a way around this.
Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
Now you can add photos.

When I try to include a white and black photo in a iMovie the result is a black totaly black picture which does not show in the movie. Why? Can it be fixed?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
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. .

How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

How to "select all" trimming photo length in iMovie

I'm creating a motion capture animation with legos and the default duration for the photo clip is 4.0 seconds. I need to trim them ALL to .5 seconds to achieve the animation I'm looking for but can only see how to do them individually. Is there a "select all" function in iMovie 10.0.1? Previous versions had it but I can't find it now.
Thanks!

Hello Mil8,
It sounds like you would like to highlight all of the images you’ve added to your project and edit the clip length on all of them at once. I found this information in the iMovie Help resource found here:
Automatically select specific types of content in a movie
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#move8b2e15e3
To select all photos: Choose Edit > Select in Movie > Photos.
Then you can adjust the duration of the selected clips all at once:
Select the title, click the Clip Information button in the adjustments bar, and type a duration in the Duration field.
Note: If the adjustments bar isn’t shown, click the Adjust button in the toolbar.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Attaching a photo to an iMovie theme

I am creating an iMovie project where I advertise a new fitness product. I am using the Comic Book theme to make my project come alive. On the first slide, where you write your name and attach a picture, I have a specific picture on my desktop that I want to use in the box. How would I bring the photo to the slide and put it in the area made for it? Please respond as soon as possible, thank you!!!

The quick and dirty way would be to simply drag the photo from the desktop and drop it in your iMovie Project at the comic book title (or transition) in your project.
However, if you later decide to move the photo off your desktop to another location, iMovie will not know where to find it and your project will be broken.
So I suggest putting the photo into a place where you are not likely to change the location. I would import the photo into iPhoto, and then you can access the photo from the Photo Browser in iMovie and drag it into your project.

Photo slideshow on Imovie?

Is it possible to do a photo slideshow on imovie? I've uploaded all the files from iphoto and transfered them to imovie, but once i try to play the movie it will only play one clip at a time. Am i missing something? A response ASAP would be great b/c i'm trying to do a surprise video for my dad's 50th birthday! Thanks!

This may not really be what your problem is... but if it is, it is a really simple fix! When you click "play" to view the show, make sure you aren't just selecting one image and are clicked outside of a single photo box so that the whole show is selected.
Just happened to stumble across your post and remember being a little bit stumped by that at one point myself... good luck!

Can't import movies from photobooth into imovie

In iMovie 11 (v9.0.4), our network users are unable to import movies from the isight camera. (File, Import from Camera). As soon as you click on "capture", then use the default event name, you get an error:
"You may not have permissions to write to /Network/Servers/rbserver.lan/SERVER_USERDATA/iMovie Events.localized."
I've tried creating this directory on the local machine, per this suggestion: http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2010/Apr/msg00305.html but to no avail...
Do you know how to fix this problem?

I can't help you with your server question, but here is how I move and import video clips from Photo Booth into iMovie over my LAN:
(1) Use the Photo Booth > File > Export menu command
to create the actual clip I will move.
(2) Quit Photo Booth.
(3) File transfer the exported Photo Booth clip to the Mac that will do the iMovie work.
(4) Use the iMovie > File > Import > Movies... menu command
to import the clip into iMovie.
(5) Clean up (throw away) unneeded clips on both Macs.

Z30 won't delete photos or move photo files to other folder

O/S was updated to 10.3.1.2582 today. Since the update I can no longer delete or move photos.
I've tried deleting single photos as well as multiple photos and I've tried moving single photos and multiple photos to another album.
When I try to delete I get a popup that says: Delete Failed - This item(s) could not be deleted
Tried restarting device already...didn't work
Please advise

I am wondering if something went wrong with the SD card. This would be a coincidence. Remove the SD card and read it with an SD card reader on a PC.
Another idea would be to remove and re-insert the SD card. Then reboot the phone before doing the above...

How can I manually move photos off of my iPhone 5S to an external drive connected to my MacBook Pro?

My iPhone does not show up as a device on finder. My 4S did. So how do I force move photos from the 5S to an external device? I do not see an option for this on the NEW iTunes .

Import the photos to you computer. Copy them to external drive.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.
I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available. It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
I have never had this problem before. It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
I really appreciate it.

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault? I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro. I have aperture 3 on both units. Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.
