IMovie import from camera

After using only imovie for a short time after the upgrade from imovie 11, it seems that new version is designed to upload directly into iPhoto automatically without the choice to go in imovie.  I don't understand the reasoning for this by Apple, but my problem comes from the fact that I seems also impossible to import the video from iPhoto, unless I have first export it to the desktop and THEN import it from there to an event file into iMovie.  I can't believe that there is not a better way to do this directly from the camera into iMovie, but as I haven't found yet, I would be grateful if someone could tell me a more convenient way to have all my initial imported videos under the same roof so to speak, where they will be used, instead of being directed directly into iPhoto I use El Capitan 10.11.6.

I find this new version of iMovie a tad less intuitive that the previous and certainly more complicated versions, but understand that to the next step until the Final Cut, it can be a good training ground. I would appreciate a comment from someone who has had this experience.

Hey there HMPC!

Please use the Apple Support communities to validate this concern. It seems that you are wanting to import media directly into iMovie from a source or possibly import iMovie media in iPhoto. There are several ways to add and share your raw support as well as your finished projects. Here are the latest resources to help with the two programs:

iMovie Help

iPhoto 11: create an iPhoto library or switch between libraries

Photos support

This will help get these libraries back in sync with one another. The latest version of Mac OS is El Capitan 10.11.6 and uses the new Application Photos. If you are interested in moving from iPhoto pictures, take a look here:

  • Import from camera to Lightroom Mobile

    I imported just a few pictures from my Sony a6000 Lightroom mobile over wifi. I was happy that I could do it, but then I found that I couldn't do things with files, even after I opened the in Lightroom desktop. For example, I wanted to merge to HDR, and he has not made the (no error message). This copy operation because they are virtual, is more raw?  Or if I don't neglect a step?

    RAW images from the camera are supported on the desktop but not on the Mobile with Lightroom.

  • Import from camera, bring the old with the new?

    I use LR 5.7.1 on an iMac with Yosemite.

    My camera is a Nikon D5000 and I shoot in RAW, JPEG.

    When I connect the camera to the computer to import directly into LR, I make sure, that it is set to import only new photos. However, whenever I'll import LR brings also some (but not all) pictures that were previously imported.

    II have tried this about four or five times in the month, I got LR and each time is the same.

    Please can you advise where I should be looking or what I am doing wrong?

    I used the Nikon software works perfectly and never imports of new photos, so I suspect something about LR rather than on the camera.

    Is it possible that you deleted some of the pictures after they imported? If so, then Lightroom would be importing them again because they would register as new images.

    In the develop module, have the image that contains the settings you want for your default highlighted.  In the menu at the top of the screen in Lightroom, go to settings to develop / default and follow the prompts.

  • How can I remove the file name of movies that I import from my camera?

    How can I remove the filename of movies that I import from my camera - the film shows the name of the file on the screen and then disappears slowly?  Using Win 7 Pro and Home premium 64-bit.   Thank you.

    Edition - shows only upward on one of the 2 computers I have / use.  Any movie file I import was that if camera, animation or imported from youtube.  All formats - slight differences in size, fonts and the location.

    Hi and thanks... Videos out of my camera I'm just drag and drop to the desktop.  They are avi - cam is a Canon about a year.  Others are .mov of 3D software I use - Cinema 4 d. I save animation software in the appropriate folder.   Youtube videos are made with YOutube Video Downloader and files are for most .flv but others come too.

    All of these files open when doubleclicked and the name of the file is very large print at the bottom of the screen may be 4 seconds then fades.  I've not edited somehow - they are the first "raw" video camera or animation software.

    It is not consistent, but especially it happens only on one machine - Win 7 Pro with all the updates.

    Thank you.

    ========================================
    I suspect the media player you use poster
    the file name. Check the properties/preferences of your
    Media player to see if you can change a setting.

    For example, VLC displays the name of the file... and you
    can go to... Tools / preferences / All / video...

    Scroll down to and uncheck 'Show Media title on Video'... / Save.

    The next time that VLC is started the video title should not be displayed.

  • import from the camera-> destination changes often

    When I import my camera - I copy into the folder to a disk partitioned - but often Lr who forget and copy instead of my photos folder C drive (or whatever the default Windows folder)

    How can I convince Lr that I ever want to copy my photos here - but instead in my custom folder?

    Thank you

    You can define and Import Preset that includes the destination location. Unfortunately, some folk report that the import presets are not sticky, so you will need to check that it is set in fact whenever you plan to import.
