Using Photos from Aperture in FCP X

I am brand new to FCP X, and am trying to use photos that I have in Aperture.  When I bring the photos to the timeline, they are much smaller files that the files I have in Aperture.  How can I get the full version into my project in FCP?

Thank you for your reply.  I tried that, and it did fill the frame, which will be very useful on this project. 
The problem I am having is that in Aperture the photos are failry big, for example, in Aperture one image is 1.66 MB
but when I see it in FCP it is a small file size, 49.6 KB:
Any ideas?

  • Use photos from Aperture 3 as Wallpapers problem

    I chose photos from Aperture projects as desktop wallpaper by right-clicking on desktop>change desktop background. But the photos all shrank to maybe half size on desktop. I used to store my wallpapers in iphoto, so I can process them a lit bit when I want to. I am planning on migrating from iphoto to aperture 3, and I know aperture 3 can do a much better job in processing. But unable to display wallpapers in right size really bothers me. Anybody can help with this? Thanks in advance.

    You might find reading [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3781|Aperture 3: How to optimize Aperture for the best looking slideshow] useful in expanding on what PilotGuy74 has said. Although it's written about slideshows, what they explain there applies to your wallpapers situation too.
    I have already missed the simplicity of iphoto. Maybe aperture is just too pro to me.
    Don't be put off. Aperture is a very complex powerful application - you can't expect to learn how to use it all, all at once. Take it a bit at a time. Learn a little as you go and you'll find that, over time, you will develop your skills with it.

  • Cannot sync photos from Aperture using iTunes

    Yesterday I took 16 photos using a Canon 5D Mark III and uploaded them into Aperture and created a new project to hold them. The I wanted to transfer them into my iPhone so I went to iTunes, connected the iPhone via USB cable and in the left hand side bar under Photos I clicked "Sync Photos", selected "Chose photos from Aperture" and "Events from the last 3 months" and in the events list that appears below, the new project appears checked.The I clicked on Sync and left the iPhone and the MBP connected overnight and it stayed in Step 7 of 7 Importing Photos....
    Any ideas on why I have not been able to import that project from Aperture into the iPhone using iTunes?

    Make sure everything is installed and up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    Also, try syncing from a different folder with photos. See if that one works.
    Finally, see if this works/applies/gets you anywhere...

  • How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

    How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge.  I am using Photoshop CS6.  Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

    Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.  
    2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired. 
    And here is a Forum thread related to Aperture-to-Bridge

  • Dark photos from Aperture, iPhoto or Drag and drop

    All imported photos (from aperture, iphoto or drag&droped) whitin a project are very dark in the viewer, and in the final video (itunes, export with several options...). The histogram levels of the image are low. The preview image in the project looks fine.
    I tried repair permissions with disk Utility, system clean with Onyx... the problem remains.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, but only after I installed the iMovie 9.0.1 update. Before then my still images looked fine when imported.
    But now, my pictures are coming up so dark as to be unusable. I was forced to export them as slideshow movies from iPhoto and import them as clips to iMovie last time I tried to use still images.

  • Full photos from Aperture to iphoto

    I'm new to aperture but I'm trying to import full quality photos from aprture to iphoto, however all I can manage to get in iphoto is thumbnails a few hundred kb worth...Does anyone know how to transfer full quality jpegs over after editing with aperture..ps I can't get raw files off my canon 450d either...
    cheers David

    Davo
    The only way to get "full photos" from Aperture to iPhoto is to export them from Aperture ant then import them to iPhoto.
    If you use the Media Browser in iPhoto (File -> Show Aperture Library) then you can drag Previews over. You can increase the quality if the pics available to iPhoto this way by increasing the quality of the Previews.

  • When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

    I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
    In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
    I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

    I think I just figured this out.
    Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab.  Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up.  Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
    It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality.  You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews.  iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
    Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults.   Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
    Hope that helped.

  • When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data.  I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail.  This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

    When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels.  The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size.  Anyone know why or how to correct this?

    Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview.  Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
    Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
    Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

  • Sync photos from Aperture

    I would like to sync some photos/albums with my iPhone using Aperture. I went through the following steps:
    1. Imported images from iPhone to a project in Aperture
    2. Created an empty album in Aperture
    3. Dragged and dropped images from the project (from import) to the album
    4. In iTunes I went to the "Photos" tab of my connected iPhone
    5. Selected Sync Photos from Aperture
    6. Clicked on the "Selected Albums" radio button
    7. A bunch of albums/smart albums/projects are listed in the window, including the album I created in step 2 above
    8. I select the album (from step 2 above) but it says there are 0 images in it. When I look in Aperture the images are definitely showing in the album
    How do I get iTunes to recognize that the album I create has images, and thus move the album over to the iPhone?

    I believe I have it figured out. In the Aperture preferences, under the "Previews" tab, is a checkbox labeled "New projects automatically generate preview." This needs to be checked in order to sync images from Aperture albums to your iPhone.
    Otherwise, if that box wasn't checked when you created a new project, when you create an album in Aperture and put images in it, iTunes won't recognize that there are images in there.
    Note that if you are importing a lot of photos into Aperture, make sure you give Aperture time to generate previews for all of the images before you go back to iTunes to view that album for syncing. All of the previews have to be generated before iTunes will recognize that the album/project has any images.

  • Photos from aperture into FCPX

    I'm trying to use the media window built into FCPX to take photos from my aperture library into FCPX.
    Not working.
    All I can muster up through the media window in FCPX is 29 rather random images, most from my iPhone. I've got thousands of pictures that aren't being recognized.
    For example: Ruidoso April 2014 is a project I have 429 pictures in. Only one will show in the FCPX browser. I can see projects, photos, faces, ...facebook...projects, etc. I can see the basic structure of aperture and options that make sense, but only 29 total photos are showing.
    Odd thing, while composing this message, FCPX crashed for some odd reason. When I reopened it, the project I'm working on "Ruidoso April 2014" now has 13 still images in the libraries frame on the top left from my icloud photostream.
    so I guess I have two questions:
    #1 - how can I get photos from Aperture into FCPX using the media browser (or is this not a good option?)?
    #2 - any idea why images from photostream popped randomly into the event I'm working on?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • ITunes - Problem recognising photos from Aperture 3

    I'm having issues with iTunes recognising my photos from Aperture 3.
    For example, in my default Aperture library, in one of my projects it has about 2000 photos but when i went to the iTunes photo tab for my devices (iPhones, AppleTV or iPad) and select that particular project, it indicates that there are only 229 photos.
    I've tried to fix this issue by creating a new library and copying photos from my default to the new library and same issue is still there. I've tried to fix it by deleting all the ipod photo cache within Aperture 3 package content.
    Nothing worked. This problem only started about 3 months ago. Before, iTunes would recognise all 2000 photos within the project and sync to my devices all the photos. Now iTunes only sync across 229 photos.
    For each device, whether it is my AppleTV, my iPhone or iPad it all says 229 photos.
    My AppleTV has about 40 GB spare and my iPad has more then 15 GB spare and iTunes still reports 229 Photos for that project.
    Could someone please help me!?
    Thanks in advance

    Aperture creates preview images that contain all the adjustments you've made to the master image. These previews are what is shared with other apps such as iLife or if you drag and drop an image out of Aperture to another app or the Finder.
    The size of the previews is controlled in Aperture Preferences. Open Aperture Preferences and click on the Previews icon at the top. In the bottom of this dialog there is a popup menu titled "Photo Preview". This is the setting that controls the size of the image Aperture shares with iPhoto. Change this setting to the size you want.
    But wait, you're not done yet. Changing this setting does nothing until a new preview is created in Aperture. If you right click an image in Aperture there is a menu item near the bottom named "Update Preview". But what you really need is "Generate Preview". Right click the image and then hold down the option key and you'll see "Update Preview" change to "Generate Preview". Choose "Generate Preview" and a new preview will be created using the new size setting you made in Preferences. You need to do this for each and every image you wish to share at the larger size. You can select multiple images before selecting the "Generate Preview" command to speed things up.
    Now when you share an image from Aperture to iPhoto the new larger file will be used. The advantage of smaller previews is your Aperture library will also be smaller but the trade off is what you get in other apps that are using your images.

  • What's the best way to export Photos from Aperture to iPhoto

    Hi,
    so heres the deal:
    My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
    So to get his photos i thaught i could just copy his aperture library onto my external hd.
    but will i be able to import the photos into iphoto? and i'd like to not have the originals but the edited photos.
    or will i have to export the photos from aperture (e.g. with my brothers, faster mac...)

    Paul, do your father and you have compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture?  Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 or later?
    Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    With the new, unified library architecture you can simply open an Aperture library in iPhoto - no need to import anything.
    If the Aperture library is not compatible, from an older Aperture version, you can try to export the versions on your brother's mac (file > Export > Versions).
    My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
    That is not normal, however old the mac is.
    Either his hard drive is too full and needs freeing disk space, or he has imported corrupted images, or his Aperture library needs repairing or rebuilding.  He should try to repair his library, if he has used "force quit" on Aperture.  See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

  • Cannot import photos from aperture

    Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    George

    I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it.  I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
    Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
    What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
    If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
    The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
    Check also the settings in Image Capture:
    In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
    If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".

  • How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

  • Importing 12,500 photos from Aperture.

    As the title says, I have 12,500 photo's in Aperture - broken down into folders and projects. For reasons that I dont need to expand on, I want to start using iphoto for managing my photos, but when I imported the pictures from aperture, I now have in iphot 1 event with 12,500 pictures!
    How do I get my folders from aperture to show as events in iphoto, and have the correct photos in these folders?
    TIA
    Wayno

    iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library. So:
    1. Export all your Masters
    2. Export all your Versions
    You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets in Aperture. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
    Import them into iPhoto. Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates.
    There is no other way to get your Photos from Aperture to iPhoto. The best any other method can di is access either the thumbnails or the Previews.
