When I import photos from iPhoto into iMovie, it becomes blurry, why????

I have 10.0.4 version of iMovie. I have made movies before & have never had this problem. The pictures are clear in iPhoto. I have tried making it a "still" photo instead of using the Ken Burns effect...still blurry. Please help!!! This is a video for my nephew's wedding so I need it fixed!

My solution was rather easy-too easy. A "duh" moment...... All I had to do to be able to put photos on my iMovie was to create a new iMovie project-I thought that one that was there when I opened iMovie for the first time was a 'project' but apparently not. Once I went to File--->New Project and then found the iPhoto library where the pictures were that I wanted in the project, I could now drag those pictures into the top left corner. Like I said, it was a "duh" moment for me and I hope this helps you out! It was so simple but not obvious at first. Let me know if it works for you or not. Judy

When i import my photos from iPhoto to iMovie they become blurry

Whenever I import photos from iphoto to imovie they get really blurry. Is there something I am doing wrong. Most of the photos have been emailed to me.

How did you import them?

Importing photos from iphoto into idvd

I am trying to import photos from iphoto into idvd for a slideshow. When the photos move into idvd they are not in the same order as they were in the iphoto library. What could be the possible cause of this?? I did go into iphoto and place comments in after the fact. Would that have anything to do with it?

Try this possible solution from acgray on Mac OS X Hints:
I have worked with many users who like to take iPhoto albums and make DVDs of them with iDVD. However, one very annoying bug (feature?) has to do with the fact that when you are in iDVD, it randomizes the sort order of the Photos in your album. Not only that, but it is painstaking and time consuming changing the order in iDVD.
My solution..
Select All in the album in iPhoto you want to use in iDVD as a slideshow. Then use File -> Export -> File Export. The secret is to select "Use Album Name" as this will rename the images in sequential order, based on the order that you put them in. Save them in their own new folder somehwere easy to find (ie on the Desktop).
Then, in iDVD, either drag, or I believe you can import the entire folder into the Slideshow project window, and voila! your slides are in order. I believe you can throw away the folder with the exported images as they should now be saved into the Project, but don't quote me on that.

When I import photos from Photostream into my iPhoto, it no longer organizes them into Events. I haven't been able to creat an Event since November 2013.

When I import photos from Photostream, iPhoto no longer organizes them into Events. Although I can organize my photos into old or newly created Albums, I haven't been able to create an Event since November 2013. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Flag the pic(s) and select the the Target Event and go Events -> Add Flagged Pics to Selected Event
i see how to do this
Drag the selected pic(s) to the target Event.
i'm struggling with this. i don't see a way to drag a pic from photostream direct to an event. if i'm in photostream, i can drag a pic, but i can't see any individual event to drag it to. i can dump it in Events in the sidebar and drag to an event from there, but that's a bit clunky.
beats me why i can copy a pic in photostream, but iphoto won't allow me to paste in an event???

Import Photos from IPhoto into 3rd party Photo Book Maker?

Using BookSmart from Blurb, to make a photo book, this a GREAT piece of software BTW, I need to import photos from IPhoto and can't seem to see how do it? Not sure I even can. Any help??

Assuming the program has an Import option that brings up an Open/Save/Attach file browser window, look in the left hand sidebar for Photos, under the Media heading at the bottom. It will show you your iPhoto library. Probably easiest if you first create an album in iPhoto for the photos you think you are likely to use.
Alternatively, browse the Blurb site for an FAQ and find:

How do I use iPhoto pictures with BookSmart?
To view JPGs and PNGs that are stored in iPhoto, click the My iPhoto Images bar in the left content column of BookSmart. Choose which album you’d like to view via the dropdown menu, and then drag and drop the images into your book. BookSmart will only make copies of images you actually drag (or autoflow) to pages of your book.

How do you import photos from iPhoto into lightroom?

I have lightroom 5.7 and OX10.9.5 if it matters. I can't find the iPhoto photos and dragging them in doesn't do anything.

Either Lightroom Help | Import photos from iPhoto (Mac OS)
or this plug-in (yes it says Aperture but it works for iPhoto too): Aperture import plugin now available

How do I import photos from iPhoto into the iMovie Events window? I want to use photos in my iMovie trailer program

i want to use some of my photos from iPhoto library in the iMovie Trailer program - it won't let me import them. I tired to sneak them into the Events library but can't seem to be able to do that either when using the imovie trailer feature, I have to open up a different project to be able to import photos, but only able to drop them directly into a project, not the events folder -- I can't get photos into the event folder.

You cannot add photos to a trailer.
The solution is to get as far as you can in the Trailer withou adding the photos. Then, select the trailer in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT. Now it is an iMovie Project, and you can do anything that iMovie can do, including add photos wherever you want.

Problems "pulling" photos from iPhoto into iMovie....

I am trying to create a movie with a combination of movie clips from my DV camera and photos from iPhoto (on my G5, 2ghz iMac). Movie clips are no problem. The problem occurs when I try and "pull" in more than 20 pics or so from iPhoto. I am trying to "pull" them in via "Media" and then "Photos". If I try and pull in a bunch, say more than 20, iMovie quits and I have to start all over again. Is this a bug and is there any workaround?

I actually think this is one area where iMovie6 does a lot better than iM5. My machine used to choke all the time when I would try to drag a whole bunch of photos into timeline. The reason is that whenever you bring in photos like that, they have to be rendered, so trying to render a whole lot of stuff is going to be time dependent based on your processor, memory etc. (and the settings you have for timelength, ken burns effect etc.) iM5 tried to render everything simultaneously and would always lock up on me. iM6 appears to render one at a time so it eventually finishes, but then I stopped trying to import large bunches of photos after my iM5 experience so I can't say where the limit is.
I've gotten so fond of playing with the ken burns effect and setting the start and stop points that I pretty much do all my images one at a time now because it can render the last one while I'm picking settings for my next one.

How can I import photos from iPhoto into a power point presentation

I would like to take a group of photos from iphoto and import them into a power point(for mac) presentation- the PP for windows allows you to take a large number of pics and make a "photo album presentation" but can figure how to do it in Mac.

If you don't know how to use iPhoto, launch iPhoto on your Mac, and select iPhoto Help from the help drop down menu.
Read the article that KP has posted above and take a look at this below.
In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

Importing photos from iphoto into aperture

Hi
I am currently importing my photos one album at a time from iphoto into aperture as this is what I was told is the best way to do it. My organization up to now ***** so I am trying to organize everything now. But I have pictures in my iphoto library that were never put into an album, so how will I be sure that I have all the photos imported into aperture before I delete them???? Also how can you tell if all the pictures in a project are in an album? I had a picture in 2 different albums and deleted it from one album but it deleted it from both - what did i do wrong??

You may want to invest a tiny bit of time reading something like this before you put a whole bunch of time into organizing things in Aperture:

A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

Importing photos from iPhoto into iPhone

I know you can import from iphone to iphoto...

Elements importing photos from iPhoto into nonsensical folders - how do I convert events or import into dated folders from iPhoto into elements?

Please help! Can't seem to find the answer on the website or anywhere else online. I don't see an option to convert events from iPhoto into folders in elements. Any advice would be appreciated.

The whole point of a program like organizer is to ignore the folders and use tags and categories instead. However, if you want to preserve the iphoto events then the way to do it is not to use "from iphoto" but rather to export each event from iphoto separately, organize your folders how you want them, where you want them and then use "from files and folders" instead.

Importing photos from Iphoto into MS Word?

When I try to import a photo into MS Word from Iphoto the files in my applications folder are not accessible, i.e. the folder is dimmed and will not open to reveal the photos within. If I drag a photo to the desktop and then drag it into my Word document, it works fine. What am I doing wrong??

Nothing - that is one of the many ways to do it
For a bunch of other ways click here.
You don't say what OS you have - if it is leopard when you import look down in the media section at the lower left
The iPhoto library is a database and should not be accessed directly - it is now a Unix style package
