Syncing videos to iPhone from iPhoto

I have a iPhoto 09 and an iPhone 3GS. I currently use Events as the primary organizational tool for my photos. I have a few Events that also have videos (taken from point and shoot cameras) in the .mov format. I would like these videos to sync with my events onto my iPhone so when I show people my pictures, I can show the videos at the appropriate times (and not have to go over to the iPod function, etc).
I was wondering what the best method is to convert my video (which I would think is playable in the iPhone b/c its .mov) to a playable format for the iPhone, while keeping the meta data (creation date, etc, so that it says in the appropriate place in the Event).
Any suggestions? In particular I'm working on an event with Videos from a Canon Powershot, and I believe the videos are "HD"
Thanks for the help.

The easiest way is to use iMovie. The videos you have in iPhoto should show up in the source list in iMovie. Create a new project in iMovie for each video you want. You can create a single project and add all the movies or create a different project for each movie. You don't have to edit the clips if you don't want to.
When you're ready, for each project in iMovie choose Share->iTunes... and make sure iPhone is one of the destinations. iMovie will compress the movies to make them compatible with the iPhone and they will be stored in iTunes. You can then sync your iPhone with iTunes.

  • Transfer Video to iphone from iphoto

    what is the easiest way to get video clips onto the iphone from iphoto? keeps on saying cannot play video on iphone. tried putting in itunes and that didnt work either. video is from a flipvideo, goes automatically into iphoto, can easily put into imovie or itunes if that helps, any other suggestions would be great. iphone is a 3GS

    It needs to be converted to a format that's playable on the iphone. These are the only supported formats:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
    Once converted, add it to your itunes library & from there you can sync to your phone. Handbrake can do the conversion for you automatically & has presets for the iphone:

  • Why does GPS data not sync to my iPhone from iPhoto?

    Hi guys,
    I synced all my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and deleted them off my iPhone. I then created albums on iPhoto and synced them back to my iPhone. For some reason the GPS data wasn't carried over - even though I can confirm it is there as I can see it in iPhoto.. Any ideas?

    Hey there 2Chainz,
    It sounds like youre being prompted that there is not enough space. I would use the following article to help resolve the issue named:
    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Has something changed recently re syncing albums to iphone from iphoto ?

    Hope I explain this right...
    Am on an iPhone 5 running iOS7.
    Till now I have selected the albums I want shared in iTunes, and they have appeared on my phone in the albums list.
    The other night I was out to dinner with a friend and clicked on albums to show her something - and realised all my albums were gone.
    Today I syncd the phone and itunes and noticed during back up it was definitely resyncing the selected albums.
    BUT - when I go into the phone and click on Albums - they are not there. If I click on Photos then Collections - they do appear - but where on earth have the albums gone ?
    Bit confused and not sure how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Also, if I edit the photo in iPhoto, iTunes "sees" it then.

    purchased songs wont sync to my iphone from my imac--shows grayed checkmarks for each one

    If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
    Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

    After syncing once with your current iTunes library, you can set it back to autimatic sync.

  • How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

    How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

    You need burn software which will author/encode the movie so it can be viewed using any DVD player - there is iDVD (still available as part of the retail 09 or 11 iLife disks at online resellers including ebay and Amazon) or Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free, but very basic).

  • Will my previously sync'd Flickr photos (from iPhoto) get removed from Flickr

    Hi,
    I am very nervous of using the new Photos App and losing all my previously sync'd Flickr Photos that I configured from iPhoto - some of them have thousands of views / comments and fav's that I would hate to lose.
    My photo library has been migrated to Photos App now, so I presume that as long as I don't fire up iPhoto again, I should be fine - as once the photos are sync'd to Flickr from iPhoto then as long as iPhoto doesn't try and remove them it should be fine and it can't do that if you don't start it up.
    My concern is what happens when I try and share a photo to Flickr from the new Photos App - is this going to reset all my photos that have been previously shared to Flickr (and hence lose the previously uploaded ones from iPhoto) or will it just share additional photos as a new individual photos? It seems whereas iPhoto ran a complex Sync type relationship with Flickr, the Photos App Sharing to Flickr is much more basic.
    Can anyone put my mind at rest because I would be mortified to end up losing my Flickr Photos?

  • Can I retrieve a deleted video i took from iPhoto's on the new iPad?

    Can I retrieve a deleted video i took from iPhoto's on the new iPad?

    Delete is delete, so No you can't, but yes, there are tools available, but the software & hardware required to do so is extremely expensive and thus out of the reach for the average user. Requires training to use properly. There may be services available that provide this functionality, but they are not cheap either and you pay whether they are successful or not.

  • Hello i accidentally synced all my photos from Iphoto and they doubled, i removed them all eventually to re-import them again, but i have no camera folder anymore and i have a folder called "From Mac" how can i turn it back to normal?

    hello i accidentally synced all my photos from Iphoto and they doubled, i removed them all eventually to re-import them again, but i have no camera folder anymore and i have a folder called "From Mac" how can i turn it back to normal?

    That is normal for photos synced from a computer to a phone using iTunes. Synced photos were never placed in the Camera Roll. Additionally since iOS 8 there is no Camera Roll: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/19/goodbye-camera-roll-where-to-find-your -photos-in-ios-8
