Rolls in the Source panel?

Hello,
A fairly simple question, but I'm kind of stumped: how can I get individual rolls to show up in the source panel on the left of iPhoto? I've imported some folders from my PC, and they are automatically reorganized as new rolls in iPhoto, but the Source panel only presents me with the following options: 2006, Last Roll, Last 12 Months, and so on. How can I set it up so that each of my rolls is displayed as a separate item in the Source panel?

Jakey1980:
What argento is describing is creating an "album" and then dragging the photos from the roll into that album. You can have virtual folders in the Source window that can contain albums, slideshows, etc. and other subfolders. But actual Rolls are limited to the main library. Here's what some folders and albums would look like.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

Is there a way to make the Markers panel work better with the Source panel?

My workflow is to first cut a multi-cam project (but it could be any long clip), then watch it all over again to make notes about what to keep and what to kick. So after I'm done cutting the initial rough cut of the entire hour or two of footage, I'll set focus to the Markers panel and begin watching the entire clip from the beginning to make notes as markers within the clip.
I'll play the clip back in the Source monitor and when something interesting happens, I'll type "M" on the keyboard. This places a marker in the clip (or multi-cam clip in my case). Without stopping the clip, I'll pick up my mouse and tap the Markers tab in the notes section for the last marker laid down. I'll type a note (something like "S" for interesting "Shot" or "HUGS" or "DANCING" to indicate the main action occuring at this point in the clip, or "Mike: Are we there, yet?" for a key dialog point). Next, I'll move my mouse back to the Source panel (the video has not stopped this entire time) and give any gray area of the Source panel a tap just to activate it. I'll watch for the next point of interest and repeat the process. M to mark. Move to the Markers panel. Tap the last marker. Type some notes. Move back to the Source panel and tap to give the panel focus. This works fairly well, but could be tuned, with just a few options, to make it more streamlined for this type of use.
What I'd like to be able to do is never leave the keyboard AND use minimal keyboard shortcuts. A perfect workflow might be:
1. Start playing the clip in the Source panel.
2. Type "M" to drop a marker. Focus would AUTOMATICALLY move to the notes section of that marker within the Markers panel, while the video continues to play on in the Source panel.
3. I type my notes into the Markers panel and hit Enter, or CTRL+Enter, which returns focus to the Source panel.
This would allow me to quickly build a list of markers and notes about a clip or sequence without ever stopping and without once touching my mouse (unless I get behind and need to backup). Currently, the only time I really get behind is when clicking on a window and not realizing that focus was not given to that window, so that when I hit "M" again, for example, I don't actually create a new marker, but rather add the letter "M" to my most recent Marker note.
All of this seems a very common task for anyone who works in reality TV, or even event videography. Who's with me? Can this be done already? If not, I'll submit a feature request. How would you make this feature better?

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Where is the source panel?

In order to restore my iPod (cause its nothing but a pain in the rear!) I have to do the following:
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel and you will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
yea... where's the source panel????

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

How can I expand the source panel on the Import dialog window (mac LR3.3)?

Hello,
How can I expand the source panel to the right under the Import dialog window?
I'm unable to drag the seperation line to the right and therefor unable to view folder names when in lower hirarchy...
thanks you

To a lesser extent, the same problems exists on all panels, whether they be in import window or elsewhere. Just look at the Folder panel in Library to see how much space is wasted in offsetting the subfolders. When this was pointed out to the relevant folk the reply came back that it was by design. Bad design, but we're pi...g into a head wind trying to get it changed.

Why won't iTunes detect my iPod Nano in the Source Panel?

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and the problem is that my iPod Nano (4th generation) is showing up on the desktop, but not in the iTunes Source Panel. As a result, I can't sync any new songs to my Nano or make any changes to its settings. It had been working perfectly for 14 months on both iTunes 8 and 9. I'm positive that the source of the problem is either the computer itself or iTunes because my iPod works on any other computer that I've tried. We have two other iPods in the house (both iPod Shuffle) and they're both showing up in iTunes without any trouble. I have tried every suggestion on the iPod troubleshooting pages (reseting, reinstalling iTunes, putting into disk mode, updating software, different USB ports, new USB cable...) and none of this works. I even took the iPod to the Apple Retail Store and the best advice they could give me was to replace the iPod. Needless to say, I'd rather not do this since the iPod is working perfectly on its own and on any other Mac that I've tried.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
However, what iOS is on the iPod? If you have iOS 4.1 ( I think) or 4.2 then you need iTunes 10.x that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

When I drag a playlist from the list in the sources panel up to my iPod icon, the music is added immediately to my iPod. Are the rules different for this than for 'syncing' selected playlists to the same iPod?

I am trying to put music from two different libraries onto my iPod. In the first case, I can, but in the second, the program says it will erase all content and sync only the playlists Ihave checked. What in general is the method for loading an iPod with music from two different libraries?

Yes, if, you manually manage music and videos, iTunes syncs the content immediately. If you deselect “Manually manage music and videos,” the content you added manually is removed from iPod touch the next time iTunes syncs content. To transfer music from multiple computers, your device must be set to "Manually manage music," sometimes referred to as manual mode.
In general, follow these instructions for Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202

Roll Name in the Source Window

Is there a way to automatically show all of my roll names in the source window? I would like to be able to just click on a roll name in the source window and be able to see those particular photos in the main iPhoto window.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No, Rolls don't get listed in the Source Pane.
However, there is a way to view just the roll you want. Choose Library from the Source Pane and View > Film Rolls. (The entire library must be selected, with no filter in operation. Be sure all Year Smart Albums are selected - look below Library in the Source Pane. Click the little triangle to reveal or hide them.) Each roll has a disclosure triangle next to its title. Click it to open or close the roll. Option-click one triangle to open or close all rolls in your library. With all rolls closed, it is easy to scroll through the roll list, open one roll, and see just the photos in that roll.
To make it easier, I title all of my film rolls. Click the little i in the lower left corner to open the Info Pane. When you select a roll's header in the main window you can edit its title, roll date, and comments by typing directly in the Info Pane. Comments are especially handy; they display only when the roll is closed. I use comments to list the contents of a roll, so that I know which roll to open when I want to find a particular photo.
If you still want your rolls in the Source Pane, you can drag the roll's header there and an Album will be created with the same name and photos. To create Albums that automatically update when you change the photos in the rolls, you would have to create a Smart Album for each roll with the category "Roll contains (type the roll name)". That seems too cumbersome, in my opinion.
Regards.

Why does the program panel fail to match magnification of source panel?

The magnification and resolution settings for both program & source panels are identical. However, the magnification on the program panel is much higher than the source. The rendered video, of course, is produced with the higher magnification thereby blocking out a substantial % of the desired frame. What can I do to match the magnification of the source panel to the program panel? Thanks for your input in this regard!

It sounds like your Sequence setting
does not match your footage.
Try this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
How do I choose the right sequence settings?

Thanks.

Any suggestions ???

Marvericks effecting Premiere Pro source panel viewing

Hello,
After updating to Mavericks 10.9.2 I am having issues previewing video clips in Premiere Pro CS6 in the Source Panel Pane. The "rolling beach ball of death" appeares and the Souce Monitor says it's opening the file. The small clips use to take seconds to open, now it's taking minutes before I decide to force quite the application. I can't keep doing this with super short dead lines. Can I increase the memory alloted to the software, or is this a Mavericks thing?
I wish I never updated to Mavericks. I understand they want to protect us from ourselves, but this is rediculous.
Help anyone?

Q: I can't get the highly compressed, not designed for editing video from my POS consumer camera to work in the professional NLE I downloaded illegally from Pirate Bay. Help!
A: Go to school for video production. Learn what the hell you're doing. Buy a professional camera to combine with your properly purchased copy of Premiere Pro.
You can edit the specific language, of course.

Ipod not working, doesn't show up in source panel

i'm trying to restore my non-working ipod in itunes, but its not even showing up in the source panel when i connect it via usb. can i assume this means it's hopeless and i should just get a new one?

flyjam,
We may still be able to restore the iPod. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003 will show you howto to resolve this issue.
To restore the iPod we would want to put it into Disk Mode first as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If the iPod cannot be restored after following the tips in the article it will need hardware repair. The article has a link to the iPod service request website.

My ipod does not appear in the source pane

I must have done a big mistake as I have got a windows computer at home but plugged my ipod on my mac computer at work. From that day my ipod got empty. I thought going home and plugging it bac in my laptop the problem would it be fixed, but hasn't worked. I have tried any step available from thesupport site. Install and unistall everything about 100 times. The message that keeps appearing when I plug my ipod nano on my computer is: "ITUNES NO PUEDE LEER EL CONTENIDO DEL "IPOD DE XXX". HAGA CLICK EN RESTAURAR PARA RESTAURAR LOS AJUSTES DE FÁBRICA DEL IPOD", which it means I should restore to the factory setting, but once I tried to do it, on one of the steps takes from granteed that my Ipod appears on the soure pane of ITUNES, which it does not ever happen. I have found my Ipod file on the windows system and followed all the steps on that issue, but there has not been any kind of result. I have tried the menu in my ipod to restore it from itself but does not work..well, I have tried anything available from the advices from apple(have spent more than 4 hours on it) but can't get my ITUNES to recognice anything. By the way, I have aslo uninstalled my IPOD and with the CDroom, tryied to installed the whole thing again,..but nothinggg. GOt I tunes version 7. Any advice will be very helpful as I cannot stand going to work on the bus for an hour without my music...and Cannot afford another IPOD at the mo..
Thanks in advanced.

I have a very similar problem but I have done the 5 Rs and more---multiple times--and my iPOD and iTunes are just stuck in an endless cycle of Restore and Restart but rather than showing up in the source panel so I can put my music back on, the icon appears and tells me to restore again. I did everything including checking my USB ports etc. in My Computer and my iPOD refuses to get out of this cycle when iTUNES does bother to recognize it. Any suggestions other than the 5 Rs---because they are doing absolutely nothing.
