Videos turned into photos?

Hi. My iPhoto crashed recently- I rebuilt it using 'iPhoto Library Manager' after a helpful suggestion on this site.
However, some of my small .avi video clips are now listed as .jpg photos, and have somehow become still photos, rather than the original videos.
Sadly, I hadn't backed up these particular files- lesson learned.
Is there any possibility of restoring them to .avi status? They don't appear to exist on the hard drive in any other format, nor in Trash.
All help appreciated.
Paul

An imported video cannot change or get turned into a photo file by the import. An imported video will have an icon of a still frame from the video. Have you selected any of the imported videos in iPhoto to watch/play the video?
With a Mac, you can import photos and videos with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application. One is not better than the other.
To include your iPhoto library with your computer's backup, select and drag the iPhoto Library file located in the Pictures folder in your Home directory to the external hard drive.

Put videos back into Photos app??!!!!

Here's the thing... I take random videos now and again when I'm out with friends etc just silly stuff really, but I love looking back at these videos months later. I'm finding with my iPhone that I delete most of my videos say from a weekend away leaving 1 or 2 on there, but even this takes up quite a bit of space over time and I have to delete some more later on to have room to shoot new ones.
I want to be able to put videos back into the photos section of my iPhone 4 in native format (no conversion) and I'm pretty sure they can only be put in the videos section of itunes and synced to videos section of iPod on iPhone (I tried adding to an iphoto album but it didn't transfer to photos section)
Does anyone know if dropping videos into itunes in HD as they are will allow them to sync back to iPhone without conversion?
Does anyone know of a way of adding HD videos shot on iPhone back to iPhone without having to double them up by putting them through iTunes?
I have all my videos stored in a folder on my imac so I can move them around easily, play on my different computers etc but having to add a few to itunes just to watch them on my phone again seems like such a pain.
Ideas welcome
Cheers

In the photos section of the iPhone sync page, there is an option to sync videos as well I believe?
Have you tried that?
(I don't have iTunes with me at work so can't remember for sure)

My Iphone 5S camera photo mode turns into black

Why is my iPhone 5s camera photo mode turns into black & white. How do I fix it?

Hello Viviong,
You may have the Black & White filter applied.
Apply a filter: (iPhone 4s or later) Tap to apply different color effects, such as black & white. To turn off a filter, tap , then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.

Assembling still photos and video clips into one video presentation.

This is partly a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (both version 7) question, so hopefully not posting to the wrong group (there doesn't seem to be a Premiere Elements forum anyway)!
I am currently putting together a video/slideshow presentation, initially for display directly from a computer (to data projector) and then ultimately to end up on a DVD. The presentation consists of digital and scanned photographs (prints and transparencies) and video clips. I successfully put together a slideshow of all the stills with Photoshop Elements, inlcuding music etc. I then output the slideshow to Premiere Elements, so that I could merge it with my already edited video clips.
The output process works smoothly enough, but as soon as I run the completed presentation, the quality of the imported slideshow is nothing short of woeful! Each image is badly pixellated and all the transition effects are mangled - in short, it is unwatchable. As it turns out, simply adding a single, still image to Premiere Elements results in a very poor final image. Drop the exact same video clips and still images into Windows Movie Maker and the quality is spot on (as is playing the slideshow after outputting it as a WMV file and playing via any player capable of playing WMVs).
Trying to go the other way, ie importing video clips into Photoshop Elements, pretty much always results in it crashing!
The two products are marketed to "work together", but they are an abject failure in this regard!
OS is 64 bit Vista Ultimate.
I've tried searching the manuals and online help, but could find nothing of any help. I've sent an e-mail to Adobe support, but have received no response from them (after three weeks).
I'm hoping that someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed, or offer some tips and tricks.
Thanks.

There is a separate forum for Premiere Elements at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements
Also, my favorite place for Premiere Elements questions (including slideshows) is a site started by some Adobe Premiere Elements forum regulars at http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/index.php Forum signup is free. There are multiple subforums at that site and because most of your questions are Premiere elements, I suggest that you post under the "PE version 7" subforum.
Wherever you decide to post, I suggest that you include in your post my comments and the answers to the questions that I asked here.
1 -- It has FAQs over to the right of the thread listing on the Adobe Premiere Elements forum. One of those FAQs that is relevant to your current workflow is
What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
2 -- Also, I suspect that you used Pan and/or Zoom on some of your photos when creating the Slide Show withinn Photoshop Elements.
For those photos, you want the Premiere Elements setting of Scale to Framesize set OFF.
3- There are also other considerations such as
-- which Project Setting you are using in Premiere Elements?
-- what dimensions are you using when you export from Premiere Elements to the WMV file?
-- what is the resolution for the projector on which this video will initially be displayed?
4 -- I do agree with your approach of adding the video in Premiere Elements.
5 -- The mangled transitions needs more detailed info in order to discuss.
Tthe timing of transitions is definitely different between the Photoshop Elements slideshow editor playback and the Premiere Elements output: this gives some people serious problems and for others it is not significant. I don't know yet if that is your problem.

NEF(raw) photos turn into jpg when i drag from iphoto to my desktop?

why do my NEF(raw) photos from my nikon D90 turn into jpg when i drag them from iphoto to my desktop? i can not work on them in PS unless i dig into the original files in the masters list. i download them from the card, both go in, and if i look at the info it says that they are both there one in jpg and one in raw format side by side. what am i missing and how can i drag the raw photo onto the desktop keep it in that format so that i can then put into PS.

thank you just tried and worked just fine, did not set any advanced options but opened up in PS any way.
well i have one other q that maybe you can answer, when i send photos to folks from iphoto, through macmail, no one can download the photos and keep on their 'puter. several years ago this changed and i have never found the answer. i will put on my desktop zip the photos and send that way. is their another??

HT201317 When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

B&W photos turn into negatives

I transferred some photos, some black and white, to iPhoto8 and when I double click them to enlarge them in iPhoto a few of the B&W photos turn into negatives. When I first transferred them the icons were black; I updated the icons and got the pictures back but now they show in the icons as positives, in the enlarged view as negatives. How can I correct this? I want to make a slideshow in the MacBook as it has the later version. They show correctly in iPhoto 5 on the Mac Quicksilver.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The usual cause of the problem is that the photos have a greyscale color profile attached to them. iPhoto only works with RGB profiles. You can change the profile using the Tools menu in Preview.

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie?

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie? I tsays it is not a readable format. can that be changed?

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.

What causes my photos to disappear off of iPhoto. They turn into ghost squares and disappear

My iphoto file has started turning my photos into llittle squares and the photos disappear. I only need to scroll over photos and they just turn into squares and the photos are gone. I have lost some very import family photos that may not be replaced.

Best bet. Restore from your backup from just before this started happening
Or back up you iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

I am using elements & premiere 12 on my PC using windows 7. My problem is that photos in portrait view in slideshow are OK but when I move the slideshow to premiere to edit included video the portrait photos turn side-on and stretch when still in portrait view. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Any comments would be appreciated.

What is the Output option that you are selecting for the transfer of the Elements Organizer 12/12.1 slideshow to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Editor?
If you are using Edit with Premiere Elements output option, are you using the Premiere Elements command to break apart the Elements Organizer slideshow and then applying rotation to the portrait files? Or, it is this more than just a photo rotation matter?
More on this in the morning.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Uploading MP4 video to iCloud photos fails

I am trying to upload a 25MB MP4 video to iCloud photos yet I keep on receiving an error indicating 'JPEG format only'
I checked that you should be able to upload MP4 videos via iCloud on my PC so I can then view on my iphone 6.
Can anyone help?

I see this question in a lot of places and in several Apple discussion groups. I've tried a number of the proposed solutions. I have 99GBs to upload. I got about 30GB uploaded twice, but then it kept stalling there (I have plenty of space). The solution that came closest was for me to turn off icloud, shut down Photos, rebuild Photos library (I think it's cntrl + option + double click on Photos icon), then start it all again. This let me get 60GB up fairly quickly, but it's been stuck there for a few days now. I also took my iMac into work and hooked it up to the bigger system there, since many people proposed doing that, assuming that those environments have bigger "pipes." Anyway, I did all of this, and it's still stuck, uploading maybe one photo every six hours or so.
