Posting movies from iPhoto to MobileMe Gallery

I have a few 5-8 minute videos taken from a pocket Canon camera that I would like to export to my MobileMe Gallery. How do I downsize the video in iPhoto before I publish the album to the gallery? Right now a subscriber to the gallery has to painfully wait for these video's to load up/stream. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Cliff:
In QT Pro try the File->Export for Web option and then select Desktop. That will produce a folder with several files in it. The one you want to use is the one with the .m4v extension. Check the resulting size of that file and see if it's been reduced enough to make it useable.
I just tried it on a small test movie of 704 KB and it was reduced to 132KB.
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 or later), 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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Posting pictures from iPhone to MobileMe Gallery

Hi all,
For those who have taken the plunge with MobileMe.Can you please let me know if you can upload photos in an album or Cameral Roll to MobileMe?
My intention is to upload multiple pictures at a time, rather than one at a time.

I think you can upload one photo at a time. You have to first create an album in your photo gallery on MobileMe and enable it to accept pics via email.

Aperture 2.1.3 fails to post an Album to my MobileMe Gallery

Not sure if this is specific to my MacPro but in 10.5.7 Aperture has consistently failed to post an Album to my MobileMe Gallery. Is anyone else having a problem? I've exported the 53 versions as JPG full size and imported them to iPhoto 9 and created an Album. This has successfully posted the Album on my MobileMe Gallery.
Failure is evidenced by the sudden disappearance of the Album from the MobileMe Album list of titles in Aperture, with nothing registered in MobileMe.
Any clues gratefully received!

Thanks - Ernie and Pistol! I suspect the the matter of a file version name could be the cause, but I'll have to conduct a careful check of them all in the recalcitrant album. The same Album - once in iPhoto 9 - has posted OK though, and it has the same version names. But there may be differences between iPhoto and Aperture. I think there's a Knowledge Base article about this - will check out later.
Thanks very much for both posts!

Removing movies from iPhoto 11

I wish to remove all my movies from iPhoto 11.
I will then store on a separate HDD as my iPhoto is now up to 100GB :-/
Previous posts (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10649344#10649344) suggest flagging movies and send to Trash BUT I have 93 photos flagged for specific purposes.
If I create a Smart folder of movies the original movies cannot be deleted. They can be dragged to a Finder window and folder but originals remain in iPhoto.
I could try iPhotoManager I suppose but surely iPhoto has a solution... or not?
Thanks.
Michael

They can.
Option-command-delete will move them to the trash.
BUT I have 93 photos flagged for specific purposes.
Flagging is designed for quick and dirty selections. If you're holding those for longer periods of time than a keyword would probably be better.

How do i post photos from iphoto to a facebook group instead of my own page?

I know how to post photos from Iphoto to my Facebook page, but cannot find a "simple" way to post photos in Iphoto to a Facebook "group" of which I am a member.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There isn't a way.
You'll need to use another method.

IPhoto 11 & MobileMe Gallery

iPhoto 11 + MobileMe Gallery.
All the iPhoto Albums are shared (synced) with Me Gallery.
I'd like to know what is the best way to have all the changes synced.
For example, when I make changes in an album (add or delete photos) I' d like to have the changes also appear on Me gallery.

I am not happy. I hope the guy who wrote the new codes will just talk with the people who wrote the iPhoto 9 codes and also talk with the guys who wrote the MobileMe Gallery codes. It gives people the impression that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. This may affect the Apple stock price. Wonder if Steve is aware of the problem; does he use iPhoto 11 and MobileMe; does he permit it; and what is he doing about it. This has been taking way too long to resolve.

Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11. However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option. Is there any way to do this?

I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.
This link has further information on folder locations for iPhoto:

HT4236 photos are syncing without a problem however movies in the same folder do not. How do you sync movies from iPhoto to the iPhone?.

How do i sync movies from iphoto to my iphone? photos in the same folder sync just fine but no movies.

As noted in th article you came from, tick Include videos on the Photos tab.

Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.

IMovie doesn't import all movies from iPhoto - at least one solution

I noticed that iMovie 08 imported my movies from iPhoto, but strangely not all of them. A quick search of the support forums indicated many others were having the same issue.
After comparing file attributes of movies that were importing successfully into iMovie versus movies that didn't show up, I found that a rogue character ("&") was preventing iMovie from importing the file properly.
Renaming the title in iPhoto does not resolve the issue, since the file name (in Finder) remains the same. However, if I make a copy of that file outside of the iPhoto Library, rename it in Finder, then re-import it back into iPhoto, then iMovie will see it. I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.
I found this to work at least with my .avi files. I still have the same issue as everyone else with iMovie not importing .mpg files that play properly in iPhoto.

+I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.+
Good thinking! The only way to change the filename in iPhoto is to export the movie file, import it back in, copy over comments, keywords from the old to the new movie, and then delete the old movie.

Best way to Remove movies from iphoto to freeup space ?

I would like to remove all the movies from iphoto and place them in a folder for later processing in imovie ...i would like to free up all the space
any suggestions

Really easy:
Find all the movies in your iPhoto Library. Then Export them to a Folder. Then delete them from iPhoto.
What makes this easy is that every movie is automatically keyworded when you import it.
So to find all the Movies:
File -> New Smart Album
Keyword -> is -> Movie
Now that you've found them. Select All and
File -> Export *_Kind: Original_* (Note: setting the Kind: to Original is vital)
And export them.
Then trash them from iPhoto.

I exported 10G of movies from Iphoto but did not get new room on my hard drive. Why?

My hard drive is almost full so I exported about 10GB of movies from IPhoto to an external drive. Then I placed them in Trash. However, there was no increase on the hard drive available space after I placed those files in trash. Also, there was no trash in the trash bin. So it appears as if the files are not really being deleted. (They have disappeared from the iphoto events folder.) I also have the same movie clips in IMovie which I did not manipulate. Prior to this event I was trying to delete files from a thumb drive and also had the files disappear but there was no change in available space on that thumb drive. In that case I did the deletion on a PC and when placed back on the Mac computer the deleted space became available.
Why are file deletions not being processed to add space to the hard drive?

I can't help with iPhoto specifically since I don't use it, but just out of curiosity: did/do you empty the trash? Space is not regained until after the trash is actually emptied.
Also, when you export or drag/copy files, normally the files are copied to the new location and the originals still exist. As for space on your hard drive: you need to maintain an absolute minimum of 10 - 15 GB; more is better. If you edit/render/burn video, you need to have at least as much free space on your hard drive as the size of the files in your project if you want the machine to perform satisfactorily.

How do i move movies from iphoto to imovie

How do I move movies from iphoto to imovie. Can I downlod movies from ipod or camera to imovie or does it need to go through iphoto first?

1. Launch iMovie and import the movies from iPhoto
2. No. You can launch iMovie, insert your media and import directly to iMovie. If you do this often you might want to change the default action when a camera is connected in the iPhoto preferences

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.
