Sharing home videos to apple tv

How do I use home sharing to view flip videos stored on desktop on apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Add them to iTunes, if they aren't compatible with the Apple TV select 'Create Apple TV version' from the Advanced menu.
Enable homesharing in iTunes which is also in the Advanced menu, enable home sharing on the Apple TV (Settings/computers) using the same ID and password.
Locate the movie from the Computer section on the Apple TV.

  • Importing home videos into Apple TV

    I am trying to import my home videos into Apple TV. I have created a video consisting of many clips which are edited together into a coherent whole. This has been saved as an iMovie event. When I try to export this event through Quicktime, all I see are individual clips for import. Where do I find the whole editing video?

    Try using the Share > iTunes... menu item in iMovie, then sync the movie to Apple TV from iTunes. This is the easiest way of getting an iMovie project onto Apple TV. Is this what you've been doing?

  • How can I watch home videos on Apple TV without using home streaming?

    I have an ATV3 and want to watch a few home videos using it. I have successfully converted the files to .mp4 format using videora apple tv converter. The problem I have is that these videos do not show up on my apple tv unless I use home sharing with my laptop. Is there a way to add these videos to my apple tv library without having to use home sharing? I have my files on a laptop and the computer is not always on or awake, and I find it really inconvenient to have to get my lazy butt off the couch when wanting to watch my home videos just to go and turn on my computer. I know that I can set the computer to wake when the network is trying to use it, but that would mean I would always have to have my power adapter connected to my laptop and I really do not want to do this because it will kill the battery. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Sharing home videos

    I shot some home video on a samsung camera. I have found software to convert it to an iPhone format. I can watch the videos on my iPhone 5 using iTunes. Is there a way to easily share these videos with other family members who have iPhones? Is there a way to just drag and drop a video? Where is the video stored on the iPhone - not in the DCIM folder I assume.

  • Where are Home Videos on Apple TV?

    iTunes has in Movies a separate category of Home Videos.
    But when I try to view Movies through Apple TV that category does not appear so I have had to put all the home movies in the same section as commercial movies dowmloaded from the iTunes store.  It is not a major problem but it would be good to separate out the home movies in Apple TV.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    In iTunes.  Select "Movies" from menu on the left.  Options along the middle are:
                                       Unwatched     Movies    Genres  Home Videos   List
    In Apple TV one can select between seeing only Unwatched or all Movies. 
    I cannot idenify a category of Home Videos.
    Thank you

  • Playing Home Videos on Apple TV

    Hi,
    I have a few movies on my laptop in .mp4 format which I can easily watch on iTunes on my laptop. I recently purchased Apple TV 3 and tried to play those videos via airplay with no success. I tried plying the video file on my laptop iTunes and then selecting airplay to have the output as Apple TV but the spinning busy logo just appears before my request times out, and then I tried directly playing the video using the apple TV remote and going into Home Videos but once again, all I receive is the spinning icon.
    So using HandBrake I converted the file, firstly by selecting the Preset function and then Apple TV 3. The m4v file has finally downloaded and I have added this to iTunes. It plays fine on my laptop but when I try to play it on Apple TV I get the same issues.
    Occasionally when I watch the video via iTunes and the select airplay, the last video still appears on the TV but nothing further plays and a spinning busy icon remains in the bottom left.
    Should I change the HandBrake preset function or am I doing something else wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi griff,
    Thanks for taking the time to look at my query. Unfortunately the troubleshoot didn't help.
    As mentioned, the video plays fine in iTunes on the mac and the AirPlay option is always there, but when I select the Apple TV option it just goes straight to a loading screen and then after two minutes the Apple TV screen goes back to the menu as the request times out. My mac's iTunes is completely up to date, as is the software on the Apple TV.
    I have tried a variety of video files, all of them work on iTunes and half of them I have used Handbrake to attain Apple TV and Apple TV 3 friendly versions - but Apple TV just cannot play them.
    Do you have any other suggestions I could perhaps try?
    Cheers

  • Home videos on apple tv

    I want to watch my digitial home videos on my apple tv.  They are AVCHD videos taken on a digital camcorder and saved on my computer.  In iTunes, I selected File, add folder to library and selected the folders containing my videos.  But nothing appears in the Movies Library in iTunes and nothing shows up on my apple tv.  What am I doing wrong?

    I use Sony Camcorders and Sony Vegas software for editing. I don't use Apple TV for displaying these videos on my home TV.  Instead, I use a WD Net TV player, which has a USB port so that I can attach a one TB hard drive with all of my AVCHD videos.  Works perfectly if these videos are less than 10 minutes long.  I make 9 minute clips and give them a title with a letter.  For example, after a vacation, I make these 9 minute clips and save them as follows: 2012 Vacation A, 2012 Vacation B, and 2012 Vacation C. I store these videos on the 1 TB hardrive but keep the original clips on another drive.
    The WD Net TV player costs around 100 dollars. This probably saved me hundreds of hours to convert the video to an Apple format, which right now doesn't support 1080i or 1080p video. When I want to watch family videos,  I unplug the Apple TV and plug in the small WD Net TV player. It might seem like a hassle but these videos look great.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't play my pre HD videos with this player. All of my pre-HD videos had to be converted to MPEG 2 NTSC widescreen format to look good on a TV set using this WD Net TV player. If you capture the video from the original tapes, these mpeg 2 clips look much better than viewing the same videos on DVD's.  Also, you can instantly click and play any video using this type of player. The convenience of playing these videos through a player is wonderful. It's similar to the difference between using CD's for music vs. an Ipod, although in this case, the mpeg 2 files look much better than converting them to DVD's.
    Besides Sony Vegas software, I have found that AVS4YOU software does these conversions nicely.
    You might wonder why not use the Apple TV player instead of the WDNET TV player.  The answer is that Hi Def AVCHD videos don't convert nicely for Apple TV. Also, for the older videos that need to be converted,  these conversions are fast because the file sizes are much smaller.

  • Importing home videos for Apple TV

    I have home made videos that I had in my Itunes until my drive crashed and I had to replace it.  I can not seem to drag and drop the videos from the drive they are located on into Itunes 11.  The video does not show up in any of the lists, movie or tv, nor does it show up in the 'search' window when I search for them.  They DO however show up in the list of videos to watch online on my apple tv.  But here's the problem, cause I dragged and dropped it three times into Itunes 'trying' to import it, the video shows up three times online on the apple tv but no where in the Itunes!!!  Now I have the video three times in the apple tv, no way to find the file and no way to delete the extra copies.  
    Itunes 11 sort of *****.
    Any help?
    thanks

  • When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

    I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos".  It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

    If you have home sharing turned on in the settings of your apple tv and your iPad you can AirPlay from your iPad to the apple tv. When you play a video there is a tv icon on the right side of the play/pause/fwd/rwd icons. Click that and choose your apple tv. Your apple tv and iPad must be on the same network.

    You would need to have home sharing enabled on Apple TV and iTunes.

    They would be accessed by going to the Computers icon on Apple TV. . Your computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.
