Movies gone after exporting out of iphoto

does anyone know why my movies were reduced to mere pictures after i exported them out of iphoto? they were working fine in iphoto, but took up too much space so i wanted to put them with other movies on a disc. and now there only pictures, no more movies. what happened and how can i get the whole movie back? please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the options you're using to export the movie file? Have you run the latest iPhoto updates? Other's have reported that but I think the latest update has fixed it as I can export with either the Original or Current format option and get the full .mov file.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • Reduce movie size after export

    Hi,
    I have one problem during export movie from Premiere Pro CS4 would like every body help.
    I create one project from Premiere with the setting as Picture 1, 2 as below. After that, I import files to project (file format: .mov or AE file or avi) to edit. All files is NTSC DV Widescreen setting.
    When I export to "Test.avi" format from Premiere, I also choose NTSC DV Widescreen with DV NTSC video code. This file can see full resolution on computer, it's no problem. But if I burn this file to DVD order to play on DVD Player, It can't see full resolution as original (for example as below picture, out side the red border can't see on the TV).
    I don't know what problem because the file is exported from After Effects, I burn to play on DVD Player, it's no problem. But import to Premiere and burn to DVD, it have problem.
    I think the computer is problem so I format and reinstall windows but it's same.
    So please help me to solution this problem.
    Thank you.

    I also check by 03 kinds of TV but it's almost same problem so please help.

  • Audio problems after exporting out of iMovie

    Aloha!
    I have a 48 minute movie created in imovie with lots of audio, clips and transitions. It works perfectly when I preview or play it in iMovie. When I try to share it to iDvd, export to iDvd, or to save it as a Quicktime movie, it looks great for several minutes, then the audio tracks get messed up. The correct audio is there, but overlayed on it is snippets from farther into the project, or whole tracks from later in the project, or places where the audio drops out completely. I spent about 70 hours creating this movie and really want to burn it to DVD so I can play it on the big screen. I did burn one version to dvd, and it looked and sounded great - until the audio problems began... any help would be greatly appreciated.
    In Garage Band there is a feature where you can consolidate your bits into one track - should I be doing something in iMovie after I finish it before I export it?

    what kind of speed changes do you mean? If you mean using some clips in slo-mo (with the sound dropped out) then yes I used a LOT of them... but they are also working fine for the first several minutes...

  • JDeveloper 10g CVS package hierarchy gone after check out?

    Hello!
    We are using JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 (Build 1618) together with WinCvs 1.3.17.2.
    We successfully imported with JDev a project structure as
    client/moduleA/ui;
    client/moduleA/db;
    client/moduleA/ctr;
    client/moduleB/ui;
    client/moduleB/db;
    client/moduleB/ctr;
    into my repository - connecting with a pserver.
    If an other pserver-User tries to check out the module CVSRoot, the package hierarchy - as described above - is gone.
    All files are mixed up in flat packages ,,Miscellaneous Packages'' and ,,Miscellaneous Files''.
    The created file structure is ok (the package hierarchy remained). But as mentioned, the Application Navigator just shows the flat Miscellaneous file structure.
    For check out with the ,,Check Out from CVS Wizard'', in step 4 of 4, the options
    ,,prune empty folders'' ,
    ,,checkout into Target Folder'' ,
    ,,Do Not Shorten Pathnames'',
    were checked.
    What do we have to do, to see in the Application navigator - after a check-out - the imported tree of packages, instead of a flat structure?
    Thank you in advance for your answer!

    Hi,
    Was the project imported to CVS at the same time as the package structure?
    Do the project source paths match the filesystem? For example, does the java source path match the root of the java source? Jdev normally puts files in a flat structure if the files are not in the right file system folder for their java package.
    If changing the project path does not fix this can you tell me what technologies your using, such as BC4J, struts, Tag libs, etc.. Then I can try and reproduce this here.
    Many thanks,

  • Images gone after exporting to DVD

    Wow, was this ever a surprise. I exported images by selecting individual albums to a DVD for Back up. Now I have all the images on DVD but they are totally gone from iPHoto, including the library. So now I don't have the originals, or at least access to them. What the heck happened? That's crazy. Exporting has always sent a copy of the edited image not the whole shabang. Any way of getting them back and linked up with the originals?

    As you have probably deduced by not, that ain't the way it's supposed to work. Using the Share->Burn menu option will produce a disk that's an iPhoto formated disk. You can mount the disk and then open iPhoto. The disk will show in the Source pane directly under the Library icon like this. You can drag that disk icon onto the Library icon and copy back all of those photo, any albums they are associated with, keywords, etc.

  • Exporting out of iPhoto

    OK....running iPhoto 5 on two iBooks (G3 & a G4). My library consists of 11,000 plus pics organized into hundreds of albums. I want to export these files to my family members who are all running XP (plus one Ubuntu user but I'm not concerned with that right now).
    Now I know that I can export each individual album into a folder (and rename the pics with the album name). Is there a way to do this en masse? Is there any way to import these albums into other OSs or programs more easily? I really dread the idea of having to make a folder for each album and then having to export each album one at a time.....it would take me a forever!!!
    Not to mention that iPhoto lags so badly now on both laptops that I am considering switching to a different program anyway..... would upgrading to iPhoto 6 help?
    Hopefully this all makes sense.......

    The G3s max out at 512 MB in ram and that's not a lot to be running a large library. Are you keeping the rolls closed except for those you're working with. If not give it a try as that should speed up iPhoto a lot. Also turn off drop shadow in the Appearance preferences. Some of the G4 powerbooks came with 256 and that would be pushing it a lot. Others came with 512 std.
    Keep the free space at 10G or more and max out the ram on your wife's if you can.
    You might try some of the following:
    1 - run Monolingual and remove all unneeded language modules. I saved over 1G on my new MBP when I ran it.
    2 - run OnyX and clean out the user/application caches, run the maintenance scripts and do a complete optimization.
    That might help speed things up. It'll save you some real estate on your boot drives.

  • Movie Changed After Exporting

    Making a movie using i-movie 9.  Did some editing and watched what we thought was what we wanted.  Exported and put into Magic DVD.  The movie ended up being the original without all the edits.  What did I do wrong?

    One of the suggested paths for exporting from iMovie to iDVD on the iMovie Discussin Group is to Share to Media Browser instead of Shared to iDVD. I don't know if that will address the problem you're having but the final image quality of the DVD will be better. Go to Share Menu > Share to Media Browser. That will export it to the special storage area within iMovie that shares the video out to other iLife applications including iDVD.

  • Why won't my slideshow export out of iPhoto '11 v9.4.3?

    I've tried exporting with and without music, tried rebuilding library '11, tried searching for 3ivx file to delete, don't have it.
    Everything I've seen on the boards I've tried with no luck.
    On a Mac Pro 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor... plenty of room on hard drive.
    Anyone? Bueller?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • Parts of Audio Gone After Export

    When I export my movie from FCE as a Quicktime Movie to be burned with iDVD, parts of the audio arent there. The whole movie plays back fine in FCE but as soon as its exported, theres missing audio. All of the audio is rendered so I'm not to sure what's going on. Is there any way to fix this?
    Thanks

    Did you Mixdown the audio? (First, Edit>Select all then Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown)
    Do you have ALL your render options selected before you render?
    Any MP3 files in the sequence?

  • Dock's modifications gone after log out

    This is my first Mac and have had no problems with the Dock so far, but about a week ago i dragged Adobe illustrator (Ai) CS3 to the dock and when i logged out and logged in the next day it was gone (from dock, still in applications folder) and a folder that i have pointing to a folder on a server had a question mark. The question mark wasn't that i wasn't connected to the server because i have it connect at startup and i could navigate to the folder by clicking on the server on the desktop. So i dragged Ai back on the dock and the question mark out of the dock and the dock looked like i wanted it to be. But when i logged back in it was the same thing before Ai was dragged on. I don't think Ai is the issue because i tried dragging apps on and off with the same issue.
    This is not a major problem but is really inconvenient to me
    any help is very much appreciated

    Try deleting com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.dock.db from your user/Library/Preferences folder. Then, type this command in Terminal to restart the Dock (or just log out and back in)killall Dock.
    You'll have to reset everything in your Dock. Then, see if it sticks. If it does not, you might have a problem with permissions in your home folder. We can try to fix that if the first part fails.

  • Audio gone after Export to Final Cut Pro XML

    Hi,
    Whenever I export to XML, I can't keep working in Logic unless I Relaunch/Initialize CoreAudio. I get no audio playback otherwise. Logic works, just no meter deflection, sound, etc.
    Is this a known bug or just my rig? Anyone else have this problem or is willing to try it?
    Thanks, Randall
