iPhoto doesn't export video files correctly
Hi,
When I export an iPhoto Event or even a whole Library using File -> Export, video files don't get exported correctly.
- Add some video files into iPhoto if you don't already have some in there
- Select the Event that contains the video files and choose Export from the File menu
- Select Current from the top most drop-down menu as the Kind
- Click on Export and select a location
Once the export has finished, use Finder to go into the folder where you exported the files to and examine the video files. The file sizes are ridiculously small. Between 5 to 50 KB. Now repeat this, but instead of choosing Current, choose Original as the Kind. You will see that the video files have exported correctly. The file sizes are normal.
A lot of the times I edit photos and this is what I want exported. Not the Original, unedited photo. But if there is video also in the Event I want to export, I need to do the video separate from the photos. Would be nice if someone can confirm that this is a bug so Apple can fix it. I've also sent this to the Apple feedback team.
