Import non-iPhoto photo into iMovie

How do you import a non-iPhoto photo into iMovie? I cannot figure out a way to do this.
I use Adobe's Lightroom for all of my photo needs and would like to avoid iPhoto if possible.

You can drag and drop a photo into your project from the Finder. JPEG or PNG will work best.

What kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

Hello,
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
Hope that helps

How do I import my iPhoto library into iMovie?

For some unknown reason I am not able to import all my pictures and video clips into iMovie. I do not know what is happening to my Mac. What did I do to it ? I still have plenty of storage space on my laptop. I have a Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4. I almost forgot to mention that iMovie quits unexpectingly when I am in the middle of a video project. Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no way you would import an iPhoto Library into iMovie. What you can do is access the Library from iMovie.
So, what exactly are you trying to do, and what goes wrong? What error messages do you get? What version of iMovie and iPhoto?

Import non iPhoto picture into iMovie

Hi
First time poster, long time lurker.
is there anyway to use non iPhoto pictures in iMovie.
As a professional tog, I have never really used or liked iPhoto, so have mine catalogued and filed elsewhere.
Hope you guys can help.

It's you, and people do mind you butting in. Stop hijacking other people's threads, it is not the done thing.
If you have a question start you own post, jumping in on another thread just causes confusion.
When you are in iMovie you select the small button that shows a camera on it (on the right hand side between the Music note and the 'T'. You should then see your iPhoto library, and be able to drag photos from here into your project. This is a standard operation in iMovie, if this does not work then you have some other issue on your machine that you have created during the transfer of the content from your PC.

How do you import a non iphoto pic into imovie?

There seems to be no way of getting a photo into iMovie except by placing it in iPhoto first. This is cumbersome if all your doing is pulling something from a drive.
There is no File, Import like there is for movies.
If you drag and drop the photo from finder into the project pane, things do not work as expected (for example, the context menu will not come up when dropped on a clip for green screen).
Any ideas?

Hi,
I am having the same problem. The video I took appears as a .MOV file and nothing seems strange about it (plays in iTunes and iPhoto). I tried copying it to the desktop and importing, and that says nothing to import. It also does not appear in the iPhoto Movie browser in iMovie. Is there some sort of security setting that wouldn't allow an iChat video clip to appear in iMovie?
I am using iChat 5.0.3 (745) and iMovie 8.0.6 (821).
Regards,
Keith

Can't get AVIs in iPhoto imported into iMovie

I have iLife '08. I imported a bunch of pics and AVIs into iPhoto. I'm trying to import the AVI videos into iMovie but I can't drag and drop the AVIs from iPhoto into iMovie like I thought I could. When I try the "Import Movies..." option I use the file dialog window to browse to the the ~/Pictures/ directory but my iPhoto collection is not in there, there is just an icon "iPhoto Library" which just launches iPhoto. I thought they used to be stored under the ~/Library folder somewhere but I can't find them there either. This is so frustrating! This doesn't "just work"!

I'm trying to import the AVI videos into iMovie but I can't drag and drop the AVIs from iPhoto into iMovie like I thought I could.
Only "edit" compatible videos can be "dragged and dropped" to iMovie '08. Even then they can only be dropped to event names in the Event Library list.
When I try the "Import Movies..." option I use the file dialog window to browse to the the ~/Pictures/ directory but my iPhoto collection is not in there, there is just an icon "iPhoto Library" which just launches iPhoto.
The "Import Movies..." option cannot look into "package" files like the "iPhoto Library" which is where your clips are located. Use the iMovie '08 "iPhoto" browser in the Event Library list instead to locate clips that are both available and compatible.
This is so frustrating! This doesn't "just work"!
Try reviewing the on-line tutorials and reading the software documentation and using the "Help" resource. As they say, "when in doubt, read the instructions."

How do I get my iphoto videos into imovie

how do I get my iphoto video into imovie

1- on iphoto menu bar click FILE >> EXPORT and export it in ORIGINAL version to NEW EVENTS folder in MOVIES >> IMOVIE EVENTS >> NEW EVENTS
2- try to open the video you want with quicktime player.
IF IT OPENS WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
- on imovie menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT and then import your movie. iMovie should convert it to a usable format which takes a few seconds and the your video will appear on the new event folder on the imovie screen (below "iphoto videos")
IF IT DOES NOT OPEN WITH QUICKTIME PLAYER:
- download "MPEG streamclip" or "Handbrake" or any program to convert videos into mov. (i think that's the format quicktime player plays). Anyway, if you use MPEG STREAMCLIP, on the menu bar go FILE >> OPEN FILES >> open the file you want (remember it should be in the "new events" folder because you just put it there in step 1). The video will open on the screen.
- still on MPEG streamclip, go on the menu bar and click FILE >> EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. This will convert the video automatically.
- go back to imovie. On the menu bar click FILE >> IMPORT >> MOVIES and select your video from the new event folder.
This is what worked for me... I am no expert, it was all trial and error, but it worked in the end!

Can't import IPhoto video into IMovie

I imported a video clip into IPhoto '08 from a Casio camera -- came out in .MOV format. CAN'T import it into IMovie '08 and can't "save-as" into any other format (figuring that might help??). Help?

I exported my lessons video clips as MPEG4, Default Settings and I am able to see the mp4 files in iMovie, even though they look like crap compared to the originals are now 4:3 instead of 16:9.
Then don't use the default settings. Set dimension and frame rate to "current" setting used in original file. Set video data rate to same data rate as original source file. Set audio for 64 Kbps/channel at 44.1 KHz sampling rate or 80 Kbps/channel at 48.0 KHz sampling rate. If you're really having problems, simply export to iPod or TV presets.
Shouldn't DV files work in iMovie? The source files are .mov with DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec. Isn't that one of iMovie's supported codecs?
As I previously stated, I would normally expect a DV file to be compatible. A DV stream file contains DV video with DV audio and should be iMovie '08 compatible. Since you keep saying the DV (video) is in an MOV file container, I keep telling you that an MOV file container may contain any "valid" audio compression format and not just ones that are iMovie '08 import/edit compatible. So once again, I am reminding you to check your MOV file audio compression format to be sure it is iMovie '08 compatible. If it is, then check to see if it contains an incompatible data track. For instance, iPhoto slideshows are not iMovie '08 import compatible because they contain a "Tween" track. If your "tutorial" files also contain a "Tween" track, they will not import either.
I just tried the Save Movie as Quicktime Movie again. It saved out using H.264, but iMovie won't recognize it.
One more time... H.264 is a video compression format. What audio compression format did you use?
It seems like MP4 is the ONLY codec I can get iMovie to recognize when importing movie files. That can't be right, can it?
It probably isn't. We are rapidly reaching a point where it would be much easier to tell what is going on if you you would simply trim a snippet from one of your problem files and either e-mail it to me or post it to a server for downloading and examination.

How to use iphoto movies in imovie?

I called apple customer care but they were unfortunately not helpful.
I have imported pictures and videos into iphoto and I would like to use the videos there under imovie.
Some videos (both taken on iPhone and a digital camera) appear in the imovie "iPhoto" section. but some just simply dont appear there.
When I called Apple Care, I was told that only Iphone movies were compatible through iphoto and imovie, but I can see videos i took on a camera in imovie under iphoto.... but only some...
On the apple website, it says that you should be able to access videos on iphoto from imovie.
I have looked up other support forums etc.. but I dont seem to find the right solution for me.
I did try to uninstall both iphoto and imovie, and re-install, but that made no change.
I imported videos into imovie separately, but I assume that takes up twice the space on the SSD. Since its only 256... i would rather avoid any extras...
If anyoneone knows a fix around this issue, please help! Thanx.
Also, is there a way to migrate the whole imovie library onto an external drive as it wil take up a lot of space?

Hello All,
I found out what happened. For some unknown reason, when I imported the movie clips into imovie they were copied within the iphoto folders. Before the import they were just in the Originals folder. After the import they were located in both the Data and Originals folder in the iphoto path. I was speaking to an Apple Care rep when we found them. At first he was sure that imovie would not copy thm and asked me why I thought that my disk space had been reduced by 8GB. I knew because I watched my free space dwindle during the two hour import and noted the space available before and after the import. He said that this was very odd and imovie should not have not have copied the files and he will report it to Apple. Thanks,

Keep transitions intact when importing mult. iPhoto images into iMovie HD?

Is it possible to import a completed iPhoto album show with hundreds of images with random transitions between each into iMovie while still keeping the random transitions between the iPhoto images intact?
If not, is there a way to select random transitions between the still images in iMovie once they get there rather than select and create each and every one of the transitions myself?
Thanks!

Because iMovie and iPhoto serve different purposes, each has features not found in the other. There is no way in iMovie to automatically add random transitions to slideshows, for example, while iPhoto offers that feature. (In iMovie, the assumption is the user wants absolute control over such features, wants to control each frame of the slideshow.)
That doesn't prevent you from having your cake and eating it too, however. Remember, many of the iLife apps allow you move stuff around between them.
For example, you can create a slideshow containing random transitions in iPhoto, export it to a QuickTime movie, import that movie to iMovie, add titles and songs, add some video from a video camera, add a voiceover narration, add some Chapter Markers, add an iMovie theme to introduce each chapter, then send the iMovie project off to iDVD to burn a DVD that plays on a TV.
So, check out the File > Export command in iPhoto. Set the exported movie to 640x480. The command will export your iPhoto slideshow to an MPEG-4 type QuickTime movie. Create a new MPEG-4 type iMovie project and import that movie to it. (Use the disclosure arrow towards the bottom of the window where you name the new iMovie project to select the MPEG-4 project type.)

Can I use iPhoto transitions in iMovie

I noticed that there are some transitions for a slideshow in iPhoto that are not used in iMovie. For example; cube, droplet, mosiac. Is there any way to get them into iMovie?
Macbook Pro

Hello Jim,
sorry, but that's not possible. you have however two options that should get you where you want:
1. make slideshow in iPhoto and then export to QT to be then used in iMovie
2. get a third party plugin to make transitions that even iPhoto doesn't have. just goooogle "iMovie Plugins" and you'll find a ton - there's even free stuff.
hope this helps

Importing iphoto slideshows into imovie without degradation?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can not find an answer... I have created slideshows in iphoto and when I export/import into imovie they are horrible degraded and pixelated. Is there any way to import them and keep their quality from iphoto? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I know I can do Ken Burns on pictures directly in Imovie, but I would have to re-edit all of my portrait oriented photos so that they aren't cropped when the KB effect is applied and I'd rather not - I am happy with how the slideshows turn out in iphoto - if only they didn't look horrible once exported!

I exported my slideshows as quicktime movies and imported them into iMovie as movie clips. They look good in playback. Of course I'm having other problems laying music over it, but it may be a problem unrelated to the Quicktime .mov files.

How do you move movies from iPhoto library into iMovie

Previously, short movie clips that were downloaded from my digital camera into iPhoto automatically appeared in iMovie. Now, however, these movie clips still remain in my iPhoto library but do not show up in the Event Library under the iPhoto Videos folder. How do I get them back into iMovie? These are movies going back to 2004. Before they "disappeared" I had edited 250 clips and shared them in iTunes. They remain in my Project Library in iMovie but I'd like to finish editing them and sharing them in iTunes. I am working with iMovie '09, 8.0.6 (821) and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).

Greetings Joy,
If you are having an issue with some video showing up in iPhoto but not being available in iMovie, use the steps in this article to bring it over -

How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?

Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I’d be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there’s a new version of iMovie and I can’t figure out how to get the movies in iPhoto into iMovie. So confused. Help!

within iMovie on the left side go to iPhoto Library, then movie the mouse slightly to the right where you see choices for events...faces...places....try selecting events and it should bring up what you may be looking for. From this point you can select photos or videos to move into your project. hope this helps
