Video

I cannot get my Aperture Library video clips to sync with my ATV2, iPad, or iPhone. I have tried dragging video clips from Aperture into my iTunes library,with hopes of syncing this way. However, when I drag the video clip over to the iTunes library, the video does not get added to the iTunes Library. This same action works with iPhoto.

I have tried exporting a video clip from Aperture to the desktop, as a file. I then "Add to Library" in iTunes, and the video clip still does not add to my iTunes library.

I do understand that once I have the video files into iTunes I may need do Advanced>Convert to iPad or Apple TV.

This is very frustrating that it does not "just work". Does anyone have any thoughts how I can transfer video clips from my Aperture library into iTunes, so I can view these clips on an iOS device?

I am running Lion with the latest updates, Aperture 3.1.3, iOS 4.33 on my iPhone and iPad, and the latest firmware on my ATV2.

Thanks...

iPad, iOS 4.3.3

Hello

same problem here since I upgraded to Lion. I used to sync my personal video shot with the camera from Aperture to iTunes without any problem. Video work fine in Aperture but I cannot longer drag them in iTunes...which is irritating because I cannot watch them in my Ipad.

Thanks

Here is my work around:

In Aperture, I created a smart album that picks up video clips only from my camera (iPhone video seems to transfer fine). I then export masters of my video to my desktop. Using QuickTime, I share my clips with iTunes. Then all my clips are accessable on my iTunes, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It's time consuming, but works.
