Video's from iphoto to ipod

Maybe this isn't the right place to start, but I will try here. I have rebel T1i camera and shoot some video usually at 720. The rebel shoots at 3.7 MB/sec (720P). Now, from what i understand this isn't compatiable with itunes for the ipod. Kind ***** so I was wondering what is the best way to convert these files for itunes. Or what do most people do. I have an ipod touch 3G. Thanks for any advice. I was following a post on http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1073739 but no one really answered the guys question so I figured I would try on the one place where things usually get answered. Thanks

Ya I saw that but I just figured there was some what people maybe do it with iphoto and itunes but I guess maybe that is it. Kinda *****. These files are probaby just borderline to play on the ipod. Hey to use extra space and store files in extra spots just for that but I guess that is all a guy can do. Thank for the reply

  • How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie. The two   hour wait to view all in iMovie puts the kibosh on my edit time.

    How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie? The two + hour wait for thumb nails and hour long wait looking for the right videos kills the time I have to edit.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

    I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

  • How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

    How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?  Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

    Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original.  That should get the original video file exported.  Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player.  If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

  • Can one recover a video deleted from iPhoto?

    How does one recover a photo or video deleted from iPhoto?

    Where did the photo or video come from?
    If it originated from the camera roll, it will have been backed up to iCloud with your most recent iCloud backup, see: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    the Camera roll photos will be visible in the Photo Stream on any other device you are syncing with the IOS device. iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    If your photos have been synced to iPhoto IOS via iTunes from a computer, simply sync again.

  • I don't want to import video clips from iPhoto!

    iMovie automatically imports video clips from iPhoto, and I don't need or want this to be done. I don't want to delete or move those clips from iPhoto, so is there a way to prevent the automatic transfer?

    Go to your Hotmail account on the web (NOT in mail), make a new folder (or folders) for the mail you want to keep and move the messages into it.
    Mail (and all other email clients) will download all messages in the inbox unless previously downloaded. That means downloaded with the client you are attaching now.
    Until that is done do not setup the account in mail.

  • I am having trouble dragging a video clip from iPhoto to iMovie.

    I am having trouble dragging a dropping a video clip from IPhoto to IMovie.  Has anyone done this?  Is this even possible?

    I had this problem too, and I don't think it is possible; I'm pretty sure the only videos you can put on iMovie are ones you record with the built in camera on the computer, or a video camera.

  • Can't get photos from iPhoto to iPod

    My iPod software won't recognize my iPhoto library so I can't synch pictures. When I select the iPod Option to synchronize photos from iPhoto and do an iPod update, it doesn't transfer and photos from iPhoto and in fact it unchecks the synchronize photos option in the iPod software. I'm using a 60GB video iPod w/the current iPod software, iTunes 6.0.1, iPhoto 5.0.4 on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.4.3.

    Archyeon:
    Here's how to do it:
    Getting Photos from iPhoto 5 to an iPod
    create a special Album in iPhoto for the Nano and place those photos in it you want on the iPod.
    connect the Nano to the Mac and when mounted in iTunes open iTunes' preferences and go to the iPod Photos section - Figure 1.
    scroll down till you see the album and select it. If you don't want the full sized image files to be copied to the Nano do not select the Include full-resolution photos box.
    close the preferences and when the syncing is completed dismount the Nano and then disconnect from the Mac.

  • Can not sync video (movies) from iPhoto to iPad

    iPad 64GB 3G
    MacPro
    iPhoto 8.1
    iTunes 9.1.1
    I have a small number of videos (movies) managed in iPhoto. They cam off my digital camera and they go into iPhoto. everything has always been happy.
    I select a small number of them and add them and some photos into a new album for my iPad. The photos work fine (shot and stored as jpeg and RAW) the videos do not transfer over. There is an error message about the .mov format not supported.
    So why does the Apple iTunes not know how to get the Apple iPhoto movies and put them on the Apple iPad so I can see them?
    I had to save a video from iPhoto out to file and open with Quicktime and then resave it and let iTunes sync it to GoodReader in order to see it on my iPAD. So why do I need a third party tool and a work around to get all of the Apple tools to work for my iPad when they seamlessly work for my iPod?

    Greetings,
    iPad, like iPods and iPhones and Apple TVs, reads certain types of movie files.
    The movies you are trying to sync are most likely, not a format that is compatible with iPad.
    iTunes includes a built in feature that will convert movie files to the proper format. Take a look at the iTunes help menu: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/9.1/en/31445.html
    Drag your desired movies out of iPhoto and drop them into iTunes. You can then follow the above help article to convert them to an iPad version.
    You can also read about the specific formats that iPad supports: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP580
    __Look under "TV and video"
    On an unrelated note, there are new versions of iPhoto and iTunes available. You can download them by going to the Apple Menu and Software Update.

  • Photos missing when syncing from iPhoto to iPod touch 3G

    OK, I'm trying to upload photos from iPhoto to my G3 iPod Touch. They're in a specific album within a folder. There are 84 pictures in the album, but only 32 are uploading. Anyone know why?

    Nope, not by a long shot.
    Actually, I figured it out... I separated the photos by which uploaded & which didn't... and discovered the photos need to have their extension showing! Whew! It took a lot of work to fix the mistake, but I've got it all sorted out now.

  • Adding photos from iphoto to ipod nano 6th generation

    I want to take photos from iphoto (mac os x 10.6.8) and put them on my ipod nano 6th generation.  I can't find anything on itunes that mentions photos and my ipod doesn't show up in iphoto or applications.

    Thanks. I followed through with those instructions. Now when I go to sync, I don't want everybody else's music to show up on my ipod.  How do I sync? And if I check sync only checked songs, will it sync ALL checked songs? We have alot of songs, but I don't want all of them.  How can I manually sync?
    Thanks!

  • Need advice with video editing from iphoto to imovie, or something else.

    ok, here's the deal. I have about 1tb of videos(in raw iphone straight to iphoto format), about 3k of them.  I took a few vids a day for a year or so. They are all in iphoto right now but i need to take each days vids and put them together and export that in a smaller format.  I need to do that for each day of the year.  But it's a nightmare trying to get the vids from iphoto to imovie.  Is there an easy way?  I don't want to do major work to them, i just want to put them all together and have 1 vid file.  So say I have 3 vids on jan 1st in iphoto, I need to move all 3 to another app, put them together, export the single file, keeping as much of the quality as I can, then I can delete the original raw vids and move that single file back to iphoto.
    So instead of having events with lots of videos inside them, 1 event per day, 1 video.
    any ideas on a quick and easy way to do this?

    iMovie is the tool for that job and it's video so there are no "quick and easy ways", I'm afraid. The files are huge and it takes time.
    What nightmare are you having getting the material from iPhoto to iMovie?
    As there is a lot of repetition in the process you describe, have you considered using Automator to try and do some of the heavy lifting for you?

  • Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

    i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
    Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
    These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
    ..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..
