Options for getting movie to .Mac Web Gallery?

I have a Flip Video Cam that I have been using lately to take short clips of various family events that I want to put on my .Mac Web Gallery. The ease and quality in using iMovie 08 is terrible, so I'm wondering what my other options are. I've noticed iMovie 06 doesn't have an option to Export or Share to .Mac. Is this possible in FCE?
What do other people use?

You could complete the movie in im6 or FCE and export it to your required format, add it to an iphoto album you have made especially and added a photo or two, publish, then remove the photos.
Personally im08 quality isn't an issue for me and I use it all the time.

Removed Movie from .Mac Web Gallery But Broken Link Remains?

I published a movie to my Web Gallery successfully. I then tried to republish but got two movies in the Gallery. One movie worked and the other was a broken link. I removed the movie from .Mac using Share>Remove From .Mac, and the working movie was removed. But I am still left with a broken link in the Movies section of my Web Gallery. How can I remove this broken link?
I checked my iDisk and found \Web\Sites\_gallery, but I can't find the index file for the gallery (only folders for the albums).
Thanks, Will

I'm having the same problem (broken links after a republish) -- and a few others:
1) After about the first time, I have been unable to remove a movie from the gallery. I just get a connection error. I'm able to add movies (somehow the connection magically works) but removing fails most of the time.
2) When adding a movie, for some reason, the title of the movie ends up replacing the "My Gallery" title for my entire web gallery. On the web gallery home page (over my photo albums and videos) it shows the title of the first video.

.mac web gallery and iPhoto '08 movies, which format?

Hi Folks, I ran into a problem over the weekend working on a movie project. As you might have read in the forums, there is no way to load up a movie to .mac web gallery with password protection. The suggested workaround by Apple is to import your movie into iPhoto '08 and then load it up into the .mac web gallery and apply the password protection offered by iPhoto.
But here comes the kicker, when I export movies out of iMovie '08 they have the .m4v extension, and iPhoto refuses them into it's library. So what kind of extensions of format should a export the movies to, for them to be imported into iPhoto. All help and support is welcome and appriciated!
Cheers, CC

Seeing as iTunes store video is m4v format I bet someone writing iTunes thought we'd better not allow anyone to add iTunes store material to an iPhoto library, so all .m4v files are locked out.
Just tested this and exported a short .m4v and as you say when you try to import the .m4v file is greyed out.
I think this'll work:
Under Share choose Export using Quicktime
I chose
Movie to Quicktime Movie then selected Options tab
Choose Quicktime to mov
Use an h264 codec with AAC.
I can certainly import that .mov to iPhoto - and create a web gallery - my uploading is very slow and everything is 'pending' at present but i thinks it's slowly going there!

.mac web gallery compression/encoding

I have iLife '08 on a pre-intel mac so I don't have access to iMovie '08. I'm using the web gallery feature of .mac for my movies with less than stellar results.
Here is my workflow:
1. Create my movie in iMovie '06
2. Export as a QT web streaming-medium file.
3. Import above file into iPhoto '06
4. Share movie to .mac web gallery via iPhoto
You can only get content into your web gallery thru iPhoto or iMovie which is why I have to go this route. The problem is, the compression/encoding via iMovie allows the viewer a choice of small/medium/large movie, with the large selection (supposedly) DVD quality. I obviously offer only one fixed steam at the present.
My question is this, does anyone know the settings in QT pro I can use to achieve the same result as iMovie '08?

no, there is no dialog box. When you select "import to library" iPhoto simply imports the movie file. From there, you can share it to your .mac gallery.
Also, I don't want to strip out the other sizes. I want to include them.

Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
published Web Gallery for that client.
Thx

Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

A workaround for Aperture users to use .Mac Web Gallery

As a user who recently switched to Aperture - I was hugely disappointed seeing some amazing new photo-related features in iLife '08 not available for Aperture users. Let alone the cash for purchasing software suites, I can't convince myself switching back to iPhoto for a single feature. So I googled and searched around...
Some pre-requisite for the workaround: You must have iLife '08, Aperture and .Mac installed.
_*Solution 1*_
Create an album in Aperture that contains the images you want to upload to your .Mac Web Gallery. In iPhoto '08, create an empty library, then File > Show Aperture Library, choose the album and import images from there.
The downside of this is the images are your Versions in preview quality.
_*Solution 2*_
Export Versions from Aperture and import the images to iPhoto and perform the upload.
_*Solution 3*_
For users building websites in iWeb, I have seen threads that one could use the media browser in iLife suite to perform similar result but it also limits to the preview quality of Aperture.
I would have to say even the workaround is hugely disappointed but I can't see any other solutions at the moment. I couldn't recall my last ocassion on having such disappointment for Apple's software development.

Apple really needs to rev. Aperture so it sends photos directly to the new .Mac Web Galleries.
Everyone needs to go here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
And voice there opinion there to get this added to Aperture.
Thanks, Scott K.

How to get .mac web gallery albums on iphone?

hi just wondered if and how to view web gallery albums on an iphone without using safari to log into.mac. thought there may be a way of an automatic sync between the iphone and .mac web gallery?
i know you can send photos to the web gallery but dont know how to do it the other way around if that makes any sense?
thanks rob

One thing to check out.
If the person who created the .mac web gallery allowed for downloads, then you could download the photos to iphoto then sync to the iphone.
Otherwise you would need to open the .mac gallery in safari.
Hope this helps.

How do I disable Download Option on .Mac Web Gallery

I created my pages on .Mac Web Gallery with iweb from my iphoto albums yesterday. At that time I chose to enable viewers to download these photos. I have changed my mind and now want to disable the downloading option. How do I do this with out having to delete and then upload the pages all over again.
Message was edited by: MA818

If you created the gallery in Iphoto open iphoto, select the gallery, click on "settings" at the bottom, make the changes and re-publish.

Embedding the .mac Web Gallery in another page?

Hi all,
I love the way the .mac web gallery operates. It is a study in elegance and technology. However, it is NOT a good professional tool to show clients.
The fact that I cannot place my own navigation in the page, and that there is no graceful way to exit out of the gallery (other than to close the browser window) reduces its usefulness as a pro tool. My clients are confused the implementation.
So, I thought maybe I could embed the .mac web gallery in one of my own web pages. (this way I have all of the navigation to my site in place). Any thoughts about how I would accomplish such a thing?

.. I'm publishing the movie direct to the Web Gallery though iMovie '08.
ahh, I see.. no, I don't think so, that's possible from within iM08 .. I can not find a setting in its options.
in QTpro, there's an easy single-click solution for that, 'View/Set Poster frame', which adds a manual selected poster frame...
so, live with the preset, use iWeb or purchase QTpro seem to be your only options..

Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
"This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
We support the following browsers:
Mac OS X
Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
Firefox 1.5 or later"
Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

Hi,
From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.

IWeb'08 lacks tight integration with .Mac Web Gallery

I just created an album page using iWeb'08 (http://web.mac.com/rodkar/Rods.Mac_Site/My_Mac_Album/My_MacAlbum.html) . I have also used iMove'08 and iPhoto'08 to publish a few pictures and movies just to try out the new Web Gallery (http://gallery.mac.com/rodkar#gallery). I think it is clever that I can drag an album that had already been published to Web Gallery using the Media folder of iWeb on the album page. However, the same cannot be performed on movies that I had published to Web Gallery. I could only use "insert .mac web gallery" from the menu bar to insert what turned out to be an embedding of a fixed size movie on the album page. While the photo album takes advantage the new skimming feature, the movies cannot make use of the new features. Or is there another way to publish that I haven't found out yet?
Namaste,
Roderick

Cannot delete .mac web gallery albums

Strange thing has recently happened to me. I deleted two albums both from the album pane and under the web gallery pane in Iphoto but the albums have not been deleted from my .mac web gallery. Is there any way to sync iphoto and the web gallery so that the albums are deleted? In the past this has always happened automatically for me.

Mount your iDisk, go to the Web/Sites folder and delete the contents of the _gallery folder. That should do it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.

How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?
Message was edited by: skiss

There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .

.Mac web gallery: Blank page on iPhone

Hi,
I've used iPhoto '08 to publish several albums to my .Mac Web Gallery, and viewing them works fine using Safari on a Mac. However, when using iPhone with a URL like
http://gallery.mac.com/membername
I'm forwarded to gallery.mac.com/iphone/membername, and all I get there is a blank page.
I tried reloading several times and restarted my iPhone - makes no difference. It just seems like the iPhone version of my Web Gallery has not been created properly.
Does anyone have the same problem or know of a fix?
Thanks.
Tim

I was on the phone with Apple for almost an hour today discussing the problem. They said they would alert product development of the issue. Now, just a few hours later, my Web Gallery is suddenly working fine on the iPhone... if this has anything to do with my call, then that's what I call a speedy fix.
