Question

Endles "Updating Aperture Videos Event"... can't use iMovie now..

Hi All,

I upgraded to iLife 11 today, and at first launch, iMovie updated some stuff and went on to Updating Aperture Videos Event (Scanning for new videos in your Aperture library...)

It's been doing so now for 4+ hours, and is getting nowhere!

Force quitting does not make a difference.

MBP 15", Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Did you install the Aperture update? And the prokit update? check that then try again.

Yes, both updates are installed - and Aperture has been up and running without problems.

Same problem here.
Received the following messages

2010-10-21 22.26.41 iMovie[1421] -[NSNull timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xa08e16e0
2010-10-21 22.26.41 iMovie[1421] ILLogger ILAperture31Plugin: ** Error in _loadDataThreaded: -[NSNull timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xa08e16e0 **

Thought it had to do with the plugins in Aperture. Removed those but unfortunately didn't help.

Hi Jakob,

Aperture videos is working for me but I would like to help.

What version of Aperture are you using?
What type of movies are in your Aperture library?
Do you have any 3rd party plugins installed?
Do you see any errors in console.app?

Hey,

I'm using Aperture 3.1
All references in the current library seems to be ok.

Videos are a mix of imports from iPhones to Canon 500D 1080p movies.
Frankly, it seems as if it's not doing anything, as there is no disk activity and no CPU load.. it's just a polebar animating... 😟

Howdy all.
I'm having the same issue. I have Aperture 3.1, and have installed all updates. Once iMovie launches, it says that it's scanning for new videos in the Aperture library... (For at least six hours before I finally had to force quit.) And I do not have any movies in my Aperture library.

Also, can you try a new or different Aperture library? If you switch libraries does iMovie still get stuck on the 'Updating Aperture Videos Event?'

As with RocK-YasH, a new library worked fine. Switched back to my original, not good. My library is new, built with 3.0 (as the one I converted from Aperture 2 had become corrupt.)
