Where are my videos stored

Hi - I've just started using iMovie with videos (I'd done a short one with stills before, but this is mp4 shot with my little point-&-shoot camera). I download them into iPhoto and up till now I've only had a few and just left them in iPhoto and played them there.
But one evening recently I took a lot of videos of a band playing a gig in a pub, and wanted to edit a bit and see what I could do with them.
It's all great fun but something happened just now - I haven't deleted those pub videos from my camera yet, and this morning I went to download some still photos I'd taken yesterday, and iPhoto is showing all my pub videos as not imported yet. So iPhoto isn't recognizing them as being there, but they're definitely there and they play normally.
My process for getting them into iMovie from iPhoto was, I dragged each one to my desktop, them imported them individually into iMovie. Then did some Projects.
They all show up in Finder under iMovie Events and Projects, and double-clicking on those opens up iMovie.
So - could anyone tell me where these videos reside now? In Finder? Am I doubled up on the space they're taking up? I can leave things as they are, everything's working fine, but I really should know what I'm doing
Thanks,
Lynne

Right, it looks like copies in both - however that doesn't explain the fact that iPhoto doesn't treat it as "already imported" and instead shows it under "new video" when I plug my camera in.
I used to use my own folder system years ago when I had a pc, but have been happy with iPhoto for the last 5 years I've had a mac. Its tools and editing are enough for me, and are simple to use. I've been scanning and organizing some very old photos I inherited, trying to preserve them - it's a big job and the photos vary greatly in quality, some badly deteriorated, damaged, faded black and whites, and shades of sepia. All very precious but there are a lot of them - I'm really happy with the results I'm getting with minimal time (and knowledge!) of editing.
It's iMovie that I find difficult - I tried to delete the video clips in the iPhoto section of Events and couldn't get that to work either, so enough is enough, lol. I'm going to "cheat" - and get my 15-yr-old granddaughter to do it.
Thanks for replying,
Lynne

Syncing pictures and videos from pc to iPad. Where are the videos stored?

Can't find my videos on iPad. Where are they?

They should be either in the Videos or Photos app; if not you could try spotlight searching for them.

Where are itunes videos stored?

I had some videos in my library and removed them. I meant to click move files to recycle bin and clicked keep files. Now I have no way to delete them because I don't know where itunes stores its videos.
Anyone know where to look?

If the iTunes is set to manage library then they will be in Movies folder or TV Shows folder wherever your library is. If they are music videos then the files will be in the artist's folder.

Where are YouTube videos stored? imovie 08

It's doing an export to create these extra files but I'm at a loss for where they are hiding during transfer. Anyone found them?

Yea, that was my guess too, but they are not there.
If you look at the filename uploaded to Youtube that filename doesn't exist after publishing. Not sure about during. You think it would cache it for a short duration. Those vids aren't going to be very sizeable.

Where are the videos taken by iphone stored in iphoto?

I've taken a number of videos and still photos with my iphoto but only the still photos appear in Iphoto. Where are the visdeos stored and how can I retrieve them?

How are you moving the photos from your Phone to iPhoto?
What version of iPhoto?
By default everything you import into iPhoto is stored in the iphoto library - What do you mean by "how do I retreive" them?
To use videos in iMovie launch imovie and import the videos to iMovie
To use them with other programs select them in iPhoto and export with kind = original (see the user tip on exporting for more information on the current options in exporting)
What exactly are you haveing problesm with and what exactly do you want to accomplish?

Where are my video clips???

I accidentally deleted my iMovie project file, thinking I no longer needed it. Where are the clips stored that I was using with that project? Does deleting the project also delete all those clips, making me have to record them from my camera again, or are they (like most video editing programs) stored elsewhere on my hard drive? Thanks!

Hi Braden
Sorry to say: The videoclips is stored inside the project
icon not elsewhere.
Start a new project (My phantastic movie)and store it on
Your desktop. Close iMovie.
Now ctrl-click on the project icon and select show package
- in this there is a folder "Media" and in this clis belonging
to this project is stored.
alas. You have to re-import Your material into a new project.

Where are printer drivers stored in OS 10.8?

I am trying to set up a Epson Stylus Photo R3000 as a new printer on OS 10.8. The printer setup locates the printer and automatically selects Epson Stylus R3000 with the notation "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download and add this printer." However, clicking on Add leads eventually to an error message: "Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R3000 because it is not currently available fromthe Software Update server." This result blocks me from setting up the printer.
I know the driver is part of the Epson driver software package that is installed with OS 10.8. I would like to select it manually. My question is where are printer drivers stored? How do I select a driver?
Thanks in advance!

While a bit of a stretch, you can download the entire Epson printer package from Apple and install it. This will include all drivers for all Epson devices as opposed to the one just for your system. The package is 1GB in size, but will include everything supported.
The package can be downloaded here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
This following knowledgebase article says your printer is definitely supported, so the driver should be in that package: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson

Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?

Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?
I put them in the usual directory:      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   . . . but they are not seen by InDesign CC.
. . . Photoshop, Illustrator, Distiller and Acrobat are seeing my custom profiles and any default profiles I removed are not there for those apps.
Even older versions of all these apps and InDesign 6 and 5 see my custom profiles.
But InDesign CC only shows the ones shown in the screen shot below: (High Quality, the PDF/X versions[3], Press and Smallest size)
I know I can probably do a "Load" profile, but that's not the point and I need to remove the default profiles.
I'm in a multiple user environment and need to lock down the use of profiles to our companies select few.
Did a thorough search of the entire Mac and PDF/X- does not even show up.   Any suggestions?     Anyone?    I'm scratchin' my head at this point.

This was the correct answer:
   Laubender   Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)
@Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
The path for these would be:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

Where is captured video stored on hard drive?

I made a one-step iDVD last night. For those unfamiliar, that means you click once, the program rewinds your camera's footage, imports it, then burns a DVD. Cool. But where is the video stored on my Mac? Now that it's burned, I'd like to delete it.
Thanks!

'Use a program such as WhatSize or Disk Inventory X to determine where the video is stored.

Where are my videos?

Hi
I have a Ipod nano, I just uploaded some videos but i cant seem to find them in my ipod. There no videos or anything like that on my list on my ipod. Where are my videos? And can i play videos on my Ipod? (i heard you can)

no i wasnt implying anything jsut curious as to why offer advice on a hack theat will void the warranty on the ipod. I mean you should realize as a role for answering questions here is to...yeha sure give possible software but also not mention things that are known to be faulty adn that clearly void the waranty. Then if something does occur well then the poster can always come back to you adn say but he mentioned it. Yes people are supposed to think for themselves and be smart on their own but society has repeatedly shown that many cant.
Which is why many are mad when they find out here that apple cant track their stolen ipods.......which is mind boggling to understand whty a company would ever do that. but thats a seperrate topic. :P
