iMovie and photo library

How can I open my of Foto-photoslibrary in iMovie (10.2.2 It is gray and I cannot import into iMovie.

You do not import the photo library in iMovie. iMovie automatically displays the photo library. When you say that it is grey, I assume you mean in the preferences of Photos. This means that it is the library system, which is what you want. If you don't see the photo library in the library list in iMovie try opening the pictures before you launch iMovie.

  • Should be opened on mac or iPhone for photos to download to sync and photo library photos iCloud?

    I installed iCloud photo library, and I downloaded all of my photos and albums. My question or problem is that when I do rather small changes, i.e. Add one to five photos to an album, he seems to take an extremely long time before changes are visible on the photos on my iPhone.

    That is the Macbook Air, or the iPhone, must not sleep for downloading to take place? Should photos be opened on each device so that he can get?

    Thanks for your help,

    Rex

    Hello

    On the iPhone, it must either:

    • be in use (not necessarily in the Photos app)
    • or be in mode 'sleep', plugged in and connected to wifi

    On mac, you must have the application open and the mac for not being in mode 'sleep'. OS X Powernap Feature does not support the iCloud photo library (I've done a request for comments)

  • iPhoto and photo library on hard drive storage

    I'm trying to free up space on my HD, and I've got this huge 'other' file.  Further investigation, it seems that he might actually reflect my pictures on my computer, despite photos apparently only 12.42 GB of space.

    But then my pictures folder contains 80,21 GB of data.  So, the 'library of Photo migrated' iPhoto said he composed 24.96 GB.  And the photo library makes 53,11 Go.  Can I delete the iPhoto library (is it a duplicate because it was migrated?)

    Yes. But you claim back so much space that you think that both applications share the masters BLAH common to both pictures.

  • duplicates of iCloud and photo library

    Aloha! I activated iCloud only found out I have duplicates (X 4) of most of the images. Is there a way to remove duplicates and more go frame by frame? Mahalo!

    Where are you seeing duplicates?  In your library of Photos on your Mac?  What part of iCloud have you activated: iCloud drive or the library to iCloud?

    If you don't see duplicated in the library of Photos these applications will identify and help remove the pictures in double a library of Photos:

    PowerPhotos is the version of iPhoto Library Manager for Photos and very powerful. Although more expensive that I recommend it because it has more capabilities than others like the ability to merge libraries of Photos or copy photos and their metadata between libraries.

  • Moving iPhoto/photo library

    Hello

    I'm moving my iPhoto and photo library to an external hard drive to save space on my MacBook Pro SSD. Once I located in my home folder, then the folder images, both iPhoto and photo libraries are there, and they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, so about 400 GB in total. When I moved the iPhoto on the external drive library (holding slipped and fell on the command key, so do NOT copy), he moved the so-called 200 GB in just about 15 minutes and when I checked my storage "about this mac" I won only about 6 GB. I have to move all the other files or through any other process to actually moved the library? I tried restart and have begun in iPhoto with the menu to choose the library and it still works fine and it is said that the entire library is on the external hard drive, but the ability is not sensible for me. Thanks for your time.

    they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, both on 400 GB total

    This is not correct.  The two libraries share the same data on the HDD through hard links initially so that they only take twice the amount of space on the hard disk. They can be copied/saved independently.

    New photos added to each library are independent of the other library.

    Here is more information about hard links:

    Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    The (hard) link between Photos and iPhoto

    In the future, do not use the move feature.  If there is a problem then its moving target file may be damaged and the source file will be removed leaving you without useable file.

  • Transfer of the photo library to new Mac via iCloud

    I bought a new iMac to replace an old MacBook Pro.  Rather than a Migration Assistant, I opted to do a fresh install of things since the MBP had years and years of junk on it.  In any case, of the MBP, I downloaded the very large library of Photos to iCloud (which eventually took more than two weeks).

    On the new iMac, in pictures, I checked 'use iCloud' and ' download origiovals full resolution for this Mac. "   Now I see in the preferences in pictures (on the iMac), it now says "DOWNLOAD files 13 500 to iCloud.

    I'm confused by the present, since there is no native picture on the iMac, then what, exactly, he's trying to do? All photos should not be a descendant of the cloud, does not extend to it?

    Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

    Life was so much simpler before decide me to (try to) link to the photos between my Mac, iPhone and iPad via iCloud.  Come on, Apple. "What happened to"it works"

    Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

    Whenever you open a library to use with iCloud photo library, the Mac will download and compare all the pictures with iCloud.  He will try to avoid duplicates and probably succeed.

    If you have already invested a lot of work in your library on the MBP, if you have created projects - book, calendars, appointed the faces, it would be better to copy the library. The names of faces will not iCloud, also download your books and calendars will be missing.

    See: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

    But if you don't need to save the labels of faces and projects, it should be faster to download the photos to iCloud.

  • ICloud deleting deletes photo library photos from iCloud, photo sharing

    I have iCloud photo library on my Mac and on my iPhone.  I created an album of photos and videos to spend several weeks going apartment hunting in my neighborhood.  I have friends who are also looking for apartments in my neighborhood and these photos and videos would be useful for them.  So I want to share all these content with them using iCloud, photo sharing.  However, I have this great set of photos/videos over on my Mac or my iPhone, because I have an apartment and my use for these photos.

    So I want to:

    1. create a shared album (let's call it 'Videos apartment').

    2. Add all my photos and videos of my apartment hunting that is currently in my library to iCloud.

    3 share only iCloud library with my friends (they can add, comment, do what they want)

    4 delete the original files from my library to iCloud I don't don't need or want these photos over on my personal devices.

    My question is: if I delete the photo in step 4, which will also remove the same pictures of the iCloud Shared Library?

    It would be useful to know if the iCloud share photos are copies separated from my photos of the library, or are the same.

    Sharing albums and Photo library iCloud iCloud different services and are stored independently from each other.

    When you create a shared album and share with your friends, you will see the shared album and photos in your photo library, but you can remove the originals from your photo library, as long as you do not remove the shared album photos. In the shared album photos can be slightly smaller than your original photos, because there is a limit of size of pixels for shared photos.

  • I DELETED VIDEOS FROM PHOTO LIBRARY AND THEY REMOVED OFF THE COAST OF IMOVIE!

    So I was about to export a video to my iphone out of storage ram. So I decided to remove the videos from the library until I discovered, it removes off imovie! I didn't know that! Like imovie takes lots of storage. I deleted the videos of recently deleted, so now they are gone!

    Is it possible to restore them?

    And if you're advising me to download something, no malware or viruses please.

    If you have enabled iCloud photo library, that's how he wanted to work. iCPL synchronizes all changes and actions, including deletions, across all your devices and computers.

    The only way for you to restore these files is from a backup, preferably on your computer.

  • Photo library is missing in iMovie

    Hello

    In iMovie-> my media-> library, I have NO 'Libraries of Photos' for some reason any.

    It's very annoying.  Does anyone know how to get that back?  Also note, I have two libraries iMovie for a reason any.  No idea why this is and how to get back to a?

    Here's what iMovie should resemble:

    Thank you!

    Brad

    The library of photos that shows in iMovie is the designated as library system in photos app preferences. I guess that is ok for you as I assume that your question that photo library showed upward in iMovie for you in the past since you said how to get that back. This is a known problem that the photo library is intermittently showing in iMovie. A solution that seems to work is to open the pictures before you open iMovie. For your multiple iMovie libraries, it is possible that when you updated to iMovie, you had an iMovieProjects folder and the iMovieEvents folder on more than one player?

  • Photos library forgotten intermittently in iMovie

    Hey everybody!

    I'm helping a friend with his computer which is having a weird problem where iMovie forget intermittently the computer's default photo library.

    I searched the forums and feel a little Google-Fu to no results. Hoping that someone here has heard of him and can help.

    Hardware specifications:

    iMac 21.5 "(retina 4K, end of 2015)"

    3.3 Intel Core i7, 16GB, Iris Pro graphic 6200

    10.11.5 OSX

    Photos Version: 1.5 (370.42.0)

    Version of iMovie: 10.1.2

    Symptom of failure:

    When you open iMovie library of Photos may not appear in the sidebar called "libraries."

    Friend is then unable to take pictures from Photos to slide directly into the timeline without doing it manually by moving pictures on the desktop, then in iMovie.

    Temporary difficulties (though not ideal):

    Opening and closing iMovie has 50-75% likely to appear at the library.

    Notes:

    1. a friend has a large library of Photos (600 GB and more) of his travels and compiles pictures and videos to family and friends.

    2. due to the huge amount of space needed for ALL of its data/backups (not only the pictures), she was sold and configure a Lacie 5big network RAID (20 to total)

    3. the iMac internal 2 TB HDD software account and installed OSX. Its Home folder is located in the 5Big and OSX heading towards it.

    4. the question is extremely intermittent, opening and closing of the application while the photo library is present can remove next time, iMovie is open.

    Things I've tried:

    -Creation of a new library of Photos (empty) adding like 20 pictures and then defines it as the default library in preferences. (Question persists)

    -Updated all updates of software available.

    -Re-install OSX 10.11 and then upgrade to 10.11.5 again.

    -Checked to make sure that 5Big is not put the discs "to sleep" after a while, removing the connection to OSX. (It is not)

    -Check all the cables and connections to make sure that the drive is connected properly and safely.

    -Machine closed down, started 5Big first, he gave 10-15 seconds to establish and then lit iMac to see if OSX has had enough time to 'find' the iMovie library.

    -Make sure that the Photos (the application) is closed before opening iMovie, tried also with Photos open before you open iMovie. (Issue still present in both scenarios)

    I guess something is in conflict with OSX and RAID 5Big... but I have no idea where to start looking.

    Help, please! Please and thank you!

    Aaron.

  • My iMovie includes an iPhoto library but not my photo library. How do I update to include Photos?

    I didn't use iMovie for awhile, but have been the installation of the updates. Now, I want to start a new project with pictures of my request for Photos. The photo library is not displayed in the list of iMovie libraries. How do you get pictures of Photos for use in iMovie?

    Try opening the pictures before you open iMovie. Some reported that they can open pictures and close it, and then open iMovie. IMovie is inconsistent about the display of the photo library, sometimes it works ok and other times it is necessary to open the first photos to iMovie of wake-up call that it is all over.

  • I can tell iMovie 10.1.2 that my photo library is located on an external drive?

    Hello, since the 10.1.2 update my library of Photos became invisible to iMovie.

    Other threads indicate clear that it shouldn't be.

    I think that the reason is that it is on an external drive, but iMovie does not detect.

    Is that what I can do about it? My internal drive does not have a sufficient space.

    Your photo library is designated as the library systems? In preferences/general pictures you can see the location of your photo library opened and select it in the library system. If it's already the library system, using as the library system will be grayed out. The library on an external drive should not be a problem for iMovie.
