New "photos app" automatically sets video export at 720p. How do I set it to default it at 1080?

Having a hard time with the transition of iphoto to "photos app".
When I drag a video shot from my iphone 6 (1080p) to a folder, desktop, etc. It automatically exports it at 720p.
The only solution I have found to maintain the 1080p is select the videos I want, and go to file > export and adjust the settings from there.
iPhoto was easier. Just click, and drag to a folder. Anyone found a way to tweak this? I've been poking around for a while and can't find anything.

Use export - always better than drag and drop since with export you control the parameters - with drag and drop you take wha you get with no options or controld

  • How to export photos to new Photos App

    Any one know what the setting are to get LR to export to the new iPhoto app?

    there was a built in option to export from LR to iPhoto
    There was never such an option. A number of people have discussed various methods for getting pics from LR to iPhoto, all of which involve multiple steps.   Some of these methods use iPhoto's "auto import" to reduce the steps.  Unfortunately, the new Photos app doesn't appear to have "auto import".
    Perhaps you were thinking of importing from iPhoto into LR?  There is a builtin command to do that.
    i'm sure some one will post the setting to do this soon.
    There is no such setting in LR.  Given that the Photos app doesn't have "auto import", it looks like you'll need to first export to a folder from LR and then manually import into Photos.

  • Will the new photos app and icloud photos library support all formats of pics and videos from my iphoto library?

    I will be migrating my whole 200gb iPhoto library 9.5.1 mavericks over to Yosemite iPhoto 9.6.1 and then migrate to the new photos app and hopefully to the icloud.photos online. Does this all support all of my formats such as AVI videos in my iPhoto library. I don't want to lose those through migration. 

    I have this 31% issue too - when I attempt to update my iPhoto library to the new Photo app.
    I have a few libraries - one on my mac, and two on a NAS. I access the NAS via wifi.
    The mac based library did update, but the two network albums have yet to be successfully migrated over to Photo.
    It's driving me insane!!!

  • Can't export 'Could not load image' in new photos app

    Since upgrading to the new photos app I'm having trouble exporting photos within folders where it gives me the error 'could not load image' have tried running a repair on the library but no luck. In iTunes when I go to sync the folder it comes up with 0 which makes me think they could be corrupted somehow.  Please help

    For me this problem was caused because I moved my iPhoto library to a different hard drive before converting it to Photos.  I solved this by doing the following:
    1)  Opened the original iPhoto library with iPhoto in the original location, and made sure the Photos/Movies that did not work were working.
    2)  In iPhoto, I chose File->Switch Library and chose the original iPhoto Library
    3) I moved the library to the new hard drive
    4) I held down the Option key while launching iPhoto
    5) I chose "Other Library" and selected the original iPhoto library in the NEW location
    6) Quit iPhoto
    7) Open the Original library in the NEW location with Photos
    After it converted the iPhoto library to a Photos library, everything seemed to work.
    Steps 1 through 6 came from this article:
    http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/01/25/how-to-safely-move-your-macs-iphoto-li brary-onto-an-external-drive
    Hope this helps.  If you don't have your original Library, I am not sure what to do.

  • New Photos App - Can't Import Video from Digital Camera

    Hi, everyone.  I just "upgraded" to the new Photos app, but I'm finding that I can no longer import video from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5.  With iPhoto, this was never a problem.  All of the old videos I imported from this camera are there after migration, and are playable within the program.  Photos import just fine.  However, I get an error message for the videos (below).  I don't understand why I'm not able to import anything new from that device.
    I opened iPhoto to attempt an import and it worked just fine.  Any help is appreciated.  I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac 2010.  Thanks.

    Hi there Jermaster
    iMovie 3 does not support the camera you have. iM is a Digital Video (DV) editor. Cameras that record to mini DV tape is what is required. IM 3 does not support USB either. You need Firewire. The camera you have is a flash based Hard Drive camera. To get the video off this camera you'll need iM08 or 09.
    But it doesn't appear that the computer you have will support either of these versions.

  • Will iPhoto collection be automatically migrated to new Photos app?

    Will iPhoto collection be automatically migrated to new Photos app when it replaces iPhoto?

    If history is any guide, and I'm not saying it is or it isn't, the new application will likely import your old photo libraries or access them directly.
    However, as with all upgrades, we have to wait and see. None of us have a crystal ball into the future.
    Frankly, I wouldn't worry about it.

  • New Photos app on a mac

    Hi everyone
    I have downloaded the new "Photos" app ( replacing i photo) on my Mac
    How do you make Photoshop ( in my case PSE 13 ) the default editor?
    I had it set up with i photo , when I clicked edit it took the photo to PSE 13 automatically
    Thanks for your help
    Larry

    You can't set anything for an external editor in Photos, at least not in the current version.
    (you would have to export the image out of Photos before you can edit it in pse 13)
    Your sure you don't still have iPhoto in your Applications folder?
    If you do, you can still use it..

  • My photo stream folder in new Photos app for Mac

    i tried to use and understand the new photos app for mac, and found that my photo stream folder is continuously hide (I didn't set my photos in the app to store to iCloud library), i don't know if this is a bug or something, the only way to fix the problem is to go to preferences and uncheck and recheck the photostream
    anyone has the same problem? or how to fix this problem permanently?

    At that size, what copied over is just the reference to the video file, not the video itself. Some suggestions:
    1. In iPhoto, select the video, then in the File menu select Reveal in Finder. If this finds the original file, add it manually to Photos.
    2. Perform a Spotlight search for the video file title/name. If found, move to Photos.
    3. If you imported or modified the files in iMovie, launch it and find/export the originals from there.

  • Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

    Hi,
    Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad?  Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
    Thanks.

    Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
    Click once on that & type your title.
    This works for any item, video or photo.

  • Using the new Photos app on multiple devices - confusion!

    I find the recent way ios/Photos handles photos quite confusing. I am not too concerned about not having a Camera Roll, but seeing how not having this creates strange behavior when editing/deleting photos, I can see how the Camera Roll is definitely necessary or the whole thing needs revamped to handle things better.
    Here's my set up:
    iMac with iPhoto
    iPhone 5s with the new Photos app
    iPad Mini with the new Photos app
    The one things I DO like is that whenever I take a photo (or upload in the case of my iMac), the photo is duplicated across all devices. That means I could take a photo on my iPhone and then edit it on my iPad Mini which has a bigger screen. (Well, so I thought..but read below.) Yes, you could do this with Photo Stream, but having all photos in one place is a bit easier to remember and find. I also like that when I delete the photo on the device that I took it on, all photos on the other two devices are also deleted. Easy. Thanks.
    But that is where the ease of use ends.
    If I delete the photo on any other two devices (i.e. the devices that I did NOT take the photo on), it only deletes on the devices which I didn't take the photo on. In other words, it leaves the photo on the device which I originally took the photo on.
    To add to the confusion... if I edit the original photo, the edits do not get duplicated to the other devices! I see the original photo on the devices with which I did NOT take the photo but the edited one is on the original device I took it on.
    Let's add even MORE confusion....if I want to edit the photo on a device it was not taken on, I then get a notice that it has to be Duplicated before I can edit it. Well, okay, I do that and then edit it. However, I now have the original showing up twice on the device it was originally taken on...the original photo and the now duplicated photo--it's the EXACT same photo since no edits get carried over from the other device.
    I believe all of this is because of what happened when ios 9 combined the functions of the Camera Roll and Photo Stream together. It exhibits both behaviors but since you cannot be sure which photo was taken on which device, you have less understanding what will happen when you try to delete a photo or edit it.
    Here's the key headache....What happens if I want to make sure a photo is deleted from ALL my devices and I don't remember which device I took the photo on? I will have to check every device just to be sure! I can't even open up iPhoto on my Mac and delete it from the Photo Stream album because it will remain on the original device. So, I have to check all devices and also iPhoto on my Mac for good measure in case I actually uploaded a photo there--which I do since I am scanning in old photos.
    Key headache #2...you end up with duplicates of the photo if you edit the photo on any device on which it was not taken on. You also get different versions of the photo. You end up not knowing which photo was the original. To be sure to have all edited photos eventually on you iMac, you'll need to sync all devices physically to iPhoto.
    Who has time to track all this?
    What should happen is this...all of the photos, including their edits, should sync exactly on all devices. My Recently Added should look exactly the same across all devices and carry over any edits...now that is what I would call Continuity and Handoff! But as it stands, we don't have anything close to this...is more like Pandemonium and MixUp!
    This is really a mess and way too confusing to keep track of. I can only hope this get resolved when Photos on the Mac is released.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • After downloading the update I can't get the new photos app to appear in my photo browser when trying to add a photo in excel.

    After I downloaded the new update the new photo app will not appear in my photo browser list when I try to insert a picture in my excel document.  How can I add the new photo app to my browser list?

    If Preview and Mail’s media browser don’t work, Gary, can you export all the pictures from the new iPhoto package back to folders and use an earlier copy of iPhoto such as 8.1.2?
    I have both versions on my system so it may be the Mail and Preview media browsers are not accessing the new iPhoto package.  I thought they were the new version but maybe not; I see a single iPhoto Library icon and when I control-click on it it offers to show the package contents...

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • The New Photo App Not Syncing Properly

    I've been pulling my hair out over the last week or so with the new Photo's in the iCloud and how the online database won't sync properly.
    This is how I went about the upgrade.
    I have a Mac Mini which has been for the past several years drawing down my family's photo's and video etc from all out devices using iPhoto. This has worked very nicely. I've been adding pictures from my stream into albums etc with about 200 or so. All files are stored locally of course in organized folder which is then back up on to a external drive.
    After the latest update I opened the new Photo app and it started to convert my library over and started to upload all the photos, some 15000 pictures and a few hundred videos. I started to check my iPad and iPhone which is where I started to see problems, missing albums, missing photos, duplicates etc. Before anyone asks I emptied my trash in iPhoto before I updated as I had read about the new app pulling all the photos from trash in too.
    After several days of stopping and starting my iPhone and iPad looked like it should with my albums and the correct amount of files. I checked the online iCloud Photos through my browser which also match, but I had all the old iPhoto months and daily libraries still showing despite me organizing my libraries not to group the photos in these old style albums.
    At this point I also looked back on my Mac Mini to find that all the libraries had totally disappeared and there seemed to be a couple of thousand files missing, ie my ipad, iphone and online coun which is at something like 15,634 files and the Mac Mini Photo app was showing about 13,450. Plus, it was now saying uploading some 24,000 files but was in fact doing nothing.
    At this point I decided to turn my main iMac on and see if I could get the databases to pull down from the iCloud to see if it matched. Three days later it's stuck at some 3200 files and saying it's still adding 15,000 files. I then went back on to my Mac Mini and started a fresh version of Photo and it's now stuck in the same state as the iMac saying it's adding file but nothing is changing.
    Please help.

    How did you import the photos?
    Are the missing photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
    You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.

  • How do you run a slideshow with no music in new Photos app

    In the new Photos app I can find no way of running a slideshow without music - either the standard themes or selecting my own music.  How can I run a slideshow with no music at all?  No setting, tab or option seems to be available to achieve this.

    Hit top right arrow for slide show; click on Music, click button next to search; choose Theme songs, click on blue check mark to remove it, then hit PLAY SLIDESHOW.

  • How do i get photos sent via email into the new photos app in yosemite 10.10.3

Although it also gives me the option to save other places i cant work out how to save into the photo app
