Photos hiding behind video stills.

So here's something weird.
I take all my photos and home videos on my iphone, transfer them to my home PC and then sync the albums back to my various i devices.
I've just upgraded to a 5s, itunes 11 and ios 7.
Now it seems that each home video appears twice in each photo album: once as a playable video and again as a still.
Even more bizarrely, this stills are hiding normal photos which otherwise don't appear in the albums, despite being there on my PC.
Click on the unwanted video still and magically the missing photo appears underneath it. 
What on earth is causing this ? 
I don't want video stills as well as the videos themselves.  And I do want to see the photos that are lurking behind the stills.
Help !!!!

To add to this, I've also noticed that my photos all show up twice when viewed in photostream.
The same is true of the home videos, though the duplicate is a 'still' rather than the whole video again.
But as above, that 'still' sits on top of a photo and thus obscures it from the album.
Seems that the album is picking up one set of photos from photostream, but sadly the wrong one.

  • Why are photos hiding behind background color on pages?

    I am building a large book with over 350 photos as a gift for my 93 year-old father. I've done a number of books in iPhoto and am fairly experienced with the software. After the last system upgrade, this book seemed to be missing over half the photos. Upon closer inspection, I could tell the photos were there but with a colored background in front of them. I have moved and changed photos. Some stick and show; some don't.
    When I view the book on All Pages, I can see all the photos are there, albeit very small. However, when I click on a page to work on it, or enlarge the All Pages any, photos start to move behind the background colors and I cannot tell what photo is there. After much work on this last night, I can see all the pages had all the photos showing (in thumbnail view). At last, I thought. Made a PDF version to preview it, but the PDF has colored background in front of half the photos.
    I have spent hundreds of hours on this book and wanted to get it to my dad for Christmas (which will be late now) or before he dies . . . I have never encountered this issue on my other equally large books. Did the operating system upgrade cause this to happen?
    Please can someone help me? LaVell

    I found the black pages to show fingerprints.

  • How do you drop a still photo into a video?

    how do you drop a still photo into a video -- while continuing the audio track unchanded?

    by popular demand, Kelli Applies Lip Liner to Audrey's Lips has been completely re-mastered. (ok, it was just one person who asked, but she's a very intelligent and articulate observer of such matters.  she noted that the clip suggests "interesting possibilities", but that men probably would be unaware of that.  i explained that "men are pretty simple, so we don't see too many moves ahead."  she laughed.)
    i believe that in an earlier post i indicated that in the re-mastered version i would delete the in-camera audio and dub in the audio from the Zoom H4n audio recorder.  this i did.
    (syncing the video and audio continues to be a nightmare, though ).
    besides signifcantly improving the sound quality, using a separately recorded audio source allowed me to drop (2) still photos into the video track, and still preserve the continuity of the recorded conversation.
    dropping in the stills the correct way (unlike in the first re-mastered video) was easier than i thought it would be.  it's just a matter of dragging the Premiere Elements 7's red vertical timeline-cursor to the point on the timeline where you want the insert to begin, and then dragging and dropping the still photo alongside the red cursor.  the amount of time the still will appear can be shortened or lengthened by dragging with the mouse -- the same way any other file can be extended or contracted.
    the video coming out from the still was now running behind the soundtrack.  but, the timeline shows the exact duration of the still, so the video coming out was shortened with the mouse by that same duration, and then the audio and video were back in sync.
    to add the "sound effect" of the camera's shutter clicking (actually its mirror slapping) before each still appears, i found a point on the audio recording that had the click of my camera actually taking a still, and that had only a little audio from the models underneath it.  removing all the audio before and after the sound of the camera click was, again, just a matter of finding the start/stop points i wanted, moving the timeline's red cursor to those points, and using the mouse to drag the ends of the audio file alongside the cursor.
    because i wanted the sound of the camera click to merge with the converation anyway, i just put the audio file of the click on its own audio track (which allowed me to separately control its volume).
    however, when i tried to copy and paste the audio file of the camera click to the beginning of the second still photo, i was not able to copy and paste by the normal method of using the mouse to right-click-file/left-click-"copy"/left-click-"paste".  eventually, i tried doing so by clicking on "edit" on the menu bar at the upper left and then clicking on "copy" and "paste", and there was no problem.  (go figure.)
    as with the other re-mastered video, i brightened, increased contrast, made the hue a bit warmer, and added a little sharpening.  (this has to be done individually for each separate video file that makes up the whole piece -- at least that's what i did.)
    interestingly, the audio level can be tweaked directly on the timeline by using the mouse to drag up or down a horizontal yellow line running the length of the audio file.
    i again rendered in Adobe Flash Video (.flv).  (annoyingly, in XP at least, there's a default download destination that has to be reset everytime you want to save in a different location).  from a drop-down menu i selected "NTSC Flash Video 700k" (just in case) and left the file name as "Untitled" (since no matter what i change it to, it saves as "untitled.flv", so i have to rename it anyway once it's saved).
    i went into "Advanced..." and, to preserve the dimensions and the HD, i unchecked "Resize Video", chose "Same as source" for the frame rate, and checked 2 "Encoding Passes" (just in case).    
    for some reason, everytime i click the "save" button, it asks what i want to call these settings.  if i use the name i used for the same settings on the previous go-round, it says that that name is already used and (impliedly) can't be used again.  so, i add the new date, and yet another name for the same settings gets added to the drop-down menu (odd).
    once the compressed .flv file was saved, it was an easy upload to youtube.
    btw, it seems that the Elements 7's Audio Mix defaults to 0 dB, OR whatever the setting was in the prior saved version, unless i use the mouse to continuously "ride the slider pot".  that's ok for a 48-second video, but does anyone know of a way the dB can be set so that it just sits there, instead of moving back to where it previously was

  • How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • How do I create still photos from a video in iMovie?

    I am looking to create a still photo from my video.  Is this possible?  Thanks for any help you can give.. 

    If you want to create a still frame from within iMovie, move your playhead to the frame you want a still image from and ctrl-click. You'll get a slightly different option to create a still frame depending on whether you do this in the project or event window.
    From the event window iMovie will add a still at the end of your project, from the project window it will add a still at the playhead.
    If you wanted the still on your desktop rather than in iMovie, select the still, ctrl click and choose reveal in finder, copy the image to your desktop and undo your actions in iMovie to remove the still from the project.

  • How do I place a still photo over a video?

    How do I place a still photo over a video, where the sound keeps steady, but the still photo replaces the videos image for a duration?
    I've got one placed and it's working great, but can't remember how I did it.  I've tried everything.  I'm working with iMovie 08'.
    It appears like a music item in my project window, a thin blue filled line with the duration in it, just above the video and I can adjust the length of time the still is displayed.  (Just like an audio/sound clip)  The audio is uninterrupted.
    Can anyone help me?  Thank you!
    Oh... my email is no longer [email protected]
    I using [email protected]
    I can't figure out how to change my email address in here or if it is possible...

    switch-ON the Advanced Tools in iMovie's prefs.
    drag your still onto the clip until the cursor gets a Green Plus Sign and choose Cutaway

  • When I drag a photo into my iMovie project and press play, a video still plays and not my photos.

    When I drag a photo into my iMovie project and press play, a video still plays and not my photos.

    I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.

  • How do I capture a still photo from my video footage??

    Probably easy I know, but just wondering how to capture a still photo from my video footage. I pulled a particular clip into my viewer window and have found the still shot I want, what next??
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Put the playhead over the frame in the timeline and choose Modify>Make Freeze Frame. It will appear in the Viewer window. Drag it into the timeline.
    If you want a photo for iPhoto etc. put the playhead over the frame and select File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.
    In the window that opens change the "Format" setting to Still Image from the dropdown menu.

  • HT4859 photo's and video is taken up most of the room on my ipad they have been backed up.  Can I delete and they still will be in icloud?

    photo's and video is taken up most of the room on my ipad they have been backed up.  Can I delete and they still will be in icloud

    Don't use iCloud to back up your photos or you will lose them.  Instead, import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can then delete them from your iPad if you wish to free up space.

  • HT201317 I have over 300 photos and 87 videos on my iphone 5.  each time I plug in for battery I get a message saying not enough space, need to buy more, so I did yesterday.  While attempting to do icloud storage again it said would take 83 hours.

    I have over 300 photos and 87 videos. When I recharge the battery I am geting the message to buy more storage to because not enough icloud space.  So I did yesterday.  That went ok, but the new message tells me it will take 83 hours.  Perplexed I went thru the settings and turned off apps and their data that I didn't realize where on.  Now I'm not sure if I needed to purchase more storage but it is still taking forever to complete the task.  Am I on the right track with this, meaning will take forever to store all my photos or what ?  The only other item I have on to store is contacts.  Can you assist me ?  Thanks - emoslim

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • Occasional sharp 'beep' sound when transition from a photo to a video

    Hi guys-
    I've been looking everywhere trying to solve this without any luck (doesnt seems like many out there with such problem).
    I'm compiling a video for a family event (comprising of still photos and video clips) but i noticed that occasionally when the compilation play from a still to a video clip- it'll emit a sharp 'beep' noise.
    This is what i checked and confirm so far-
    1. it happens only when moving from a photo to a video (but not always occur).
    2. the video clip has original sound volume set to 0.
    3. original video clip does not contain the beep.
    4. background song does not contain the beep.
    5. not all transition from photo following video produce such beep.
    6. the beep still happens even with the background song removed (technically no voice element in the project).
    Can anyone share any ideas/experience around this?
    Thanks in advance!
    - Ryan

    Does this happen just when playing in iMovie, or after you've rendered the video into a finalized stand-alone file? If you haven't exported the movie yet, I'd try that and see if the beep is still there.
