Photos does not handle AVI movies

iPhoto permitted the import of AVI movies from a "deer cam" SDcard. Plug the chip in and iPhoto asked to import all items on the SDcard, just like photos. Double click on an AVI movie and I could watch the 30 sec clips with no problem. I do have the latest version of Flip for Mac on my iMac as well.
Photos imported the entire iPhoto file (250GB) but will do nothing with the AVI movies. In fact, Photos provides an error of "not being able to find the file" but all the photos and AVI's are in the same places as in the iPhoto library.
Has anyone had this problem yet and/or know how to fix it?
Second question - Does anyone know an easy way to extract all the AVI's from the Photos library and convert them to Mov if I have to do that?

Thanks to your advice I solved the problem.
I installed the codec Morgan M-JPG from an existing link (http://morgan-multimedia-mjpeg-codec.en.lo4d.com/download) different from what I have proposed, this link was continually blocked by my anti-virus.
After restarting Prenmiere Elements 12 (without reboot) AVI movies of my Casio have been read.
The operating system of my PC is Windows 7.
Thank you.

Premiere Element 12 does not recognize AVI movies.

Premiere Element 12 does not recognize AVI movies created with Casio Exilim EX-FH100 camera.
The operating system (Win 7 and Windows Media Player) recognizes these files without problems.
While trying to load an AVI movie in Premiere appears this inscription: This file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
How can I fix the problem?
Thank you.

HT3775 Quick Time player does not support AVI movies?

I can't play an AVI movie on quick time player. Why?

If you cant play it in QuickTime, then another media player may be more successful. A couple of good options that generally pick up where QuickTime falls short are VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) and MPlayer OS X Extended (http://www.mplayerosx.ch).

QT does not open AVI file

hello,
I have installed Perian but with Mountain Lion QT does not open AVI file (no audio and no video)
do you have any suggestion?

I am using QT pre-installed in Mountain (should be X)
QT X can only play files using codecs it is programmed to expect to be used in the loaded file container/with the loaded file's stated extension. For example, QT X will not play a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file with an MOV or VOB file extension but will usually play the file if the extension is changed to TS, MPG, or MPEG. On the other hand, the QT 7 Player tends to look at the internal header information and select a codec based on what the file says it needs for the actual playback. Thus, the QT 7 Player may frequently play files that the QT X Player does not play.
Besides supporting the the AVI file container, your QT system must also be configured to support the actual audio and video codecs contained in the AVI file and not have a "conflict" problem. For instance, Motion JPEG support for QT was dropped with the release of Lion. AVI files containing MJPEG video thay plays correctly under Snow Leopard will no longer play under Lion or Mountain Lion with additional support. In this case, Perian still provides such support. It also still provides support for DIVX, XVID, 3IVX, and similar third-party codecs commonly found in AVI containers. However, Perian support for such files can become conflicted if you have also installed the actual third-party codecs along with Perian and the different codecs fight over which is to be used for playback. This is why it is important to know the actual codecs used to create files using generic file containers like AVI and MOV and the codec components actually installed on your system, as well as, their potential for creating conflicts.
As to the actual playback of files, there are basically only three options (as indicated by the URL provided above:
1) You can conform the file and/or your system codec component configuration to play your files using a QT player app if possible,
2) You can use an alternative media player app the contains "native" support for the file containera and/or codecs used to create the files, or
3) You can convert the file to a compression format and file container that that is already natively supported by QT-based applications.
Since do not seem to know or are unwilling to identify the specific codecs causing a problem here, the only workflows left to you would be to try playing the file in an alternative media player which contains its own built-in codec support (e.g., VLC) or convert the files to something your current QT system configuration can handle (e.g., use a converter with built-in codec support like HandBrake).

Photo does not open in Photoshop as before from Iphoto

I have a large library with approx 9700 pics. In the past, I was able to double click on a photo in Iphoto and it would open Photoshop CS (PS). PS opens but the chosen photo does not open. I have also noticed that all of the albums in Iphoto are not seen in the PS file browser and that the photos are in numbered folders that I did not create.
thanks for any help.

Hi jwilman,
To answer your first question:
You must have done an Archive and Install and the Scripting folder for PS did not get put back where it belonged. You must find that folder and put it back in the root library. or reinstall PS to get the folder.
Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
"Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
"This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
"Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here.
To answer your second question:
iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

IPhoto 9.4.2 does not show mp4 movies to import from SD Card

Hello mates, since last december when I reformatted my Macbook, iPhoto is not showing the movies in my SD Card when I import photos. Before formatting, it always showed the photos and movies, but I don't know what happened or what I have to do to make it show and import the movies again.
If I copy the movie from SD Card to Desk and try to import it to iPhoto, it does, but when I close and reopen iPhoto, it does not show the movie there anymore and If I open the contents of iPhoto Library and check for the file, it is there fisically.
What could be happening to my iPhoto?
Thanks in advance.

but it still does not accept mp4 movies neither show them in my sd card when I plug it in my MBP.
Is this when you plug in the memory card into the MBP card reader? What do you see in the card when you use the card reader? Is the Finder view preferences set to show memory cards on the Desktop when inserted into the reader?

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

Photo does not show up in Adobe Elements

I have a MacBook and have iphoto set up to open the edit with Adobe Photoshop Elements and not with iphot oediting tool. I had version 8 of APE and upgraded to APE 9 - now the photo does not show up in the Adobe window when I try to edit. How do I fix this ?

Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:

It relates to Elements 10, but it's the same for 11.

Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

Design Studio - Display a dummy image when searched photo does not exist

hello,
I would like to display an employee photo, which should be searched on the server folder with URL.
Each photo name in my folder is : "employeeId.png".
But some employees do not have a photo, and in this case I try to display a dummy photo, which I have in the same folder with employee id 00000000.
My variables are :
- URLlink variable is global variable type URL, which gives a path to my folder with employees photos
- empnb variable is filled with employee id through getSelectedMember on cross table
- filename variable to search a photo on the server
- filename0 variable for those employees for which photo does not existe
I tried to test the existence of an employee photo with getHeigh() method or getImage() method, to check if a photo filename set in Image1 is a real
one. Cause if a photo does not exist, the Design studio put by default a small black cube inside Image.
Unfortunatelly these tests are not working .
My script:
var filename = URLlink + empnb + ".png";    // existing employee photo
var filename0 = URLlink + "00000000" + ".png"; // dummy profile photo
IMAGE_1.setImage(filename); //Try to put a photo found on the server
var height = IMAGE_1.getHeight();
if (height == -1)
{ IMAGE_1.setImage(filename0);   }
else   {IMAGE_1.setImage(filename);}
Does anyone have other idea how to test if a photo exist or not in my folder.
Many thanks!
Bea

I do not think it is possible today (at least not via checking of the image size). Such function would require
* code extension in image component -> boolean IMAGE.exists()
or
* could be made by custom image implementation via design studio SDK. This custom image would send a request via Ajax and check response status. in case not existing some dummy images would be placed.
for both options there are no plans as of today.
the only option I see today is to generate in the folder "dummy" images for all employes who do not have any real image.

When I place photos on the cloud to share with friends, the photo IDinformation I have entered with the photo does not transfer. Is there a way to have the text follow the photo in the cloud?

When I place an Aperture photo on the cloud to share with friends, the idenfifcation information I have entered for the photo does not transfer to the cloud and thus my friends get only the photo. Is there a setting I am missing that would allow the text to go along with the photograph?

The photo stream will transfer the EXIF information set by the camera and the filname/version name. Try to get any information you want to transfer into the filename by batch changing the filename with "write to master" enabled. Aloso, you can set a comment, when sharing the image to the Photo Stream.
