Heyo,
So my basic task I'm working on is taking the videos from my iPhone 4s and getting them from iPhoto into Final Cut Pro X - and I have several questions stemming from that!
Firstly, to use a certain video called "Jazz" as an example, when I see "Jazz" in iPhoto it says that it's a 3.4 GB file. Yet when I drag it to my desktop, it's 7.72 GB. Why the huge difference? Does iPhoto somehow convert the file when I drag it to the desktop? It doesn't have this difference with photos, just videos. Also, side note question, is H.264 a type of .mov file or totally different or what? Because on the desktop it's a .mov file, and in iPhoto it says H.264. I know they're somehow related but I'm very up to date on my video knowledge. When I find "Jazz" in the finder it says under the details that it is 7.72 GB, and a .mov file, FYI.
Secondly, is there any way to rename the file name of a photo/video inside of iPhoto? Without going into the finder, I mean. I know this is the video section of the forum, but I thought you still might know. I've searched a lot and the typical answer I've found is no, you cannot, but those answers seem to be really old so I thought something might have changed by now. I know you can change the title of the photo, but I'm talking about the actual file name on the hard drive.
Thanks for the help!
