  • Can't import mp4/mov files into iMovie

    I tried to create a new project by importing a .mp4 file from my account on Youtube. It copied the file to the event but didn't create a thumbnail. I did some research and I tried:
    -Quitting imovie, changing the name of the event folder, then restarting imovie.
    -Importing the .mp4 to a different event folder. Quitting/restarting.
    At this point, the thumbnail for the newly imported movie appeared but the other videos that were previously (and successfully) thumbnailed in that event disappeared. I quit/restarted iMovie and all the thumbnails in that event were missing.
    Here's what I've tried since then:
    -Converting the .mp4 in Handbrake to .mp4 and then importing again. No luck.
    -TRYING to convert the .mp4 to .mov in mpeg streamclip. I get an "Audio Decoding Error" when I attempt.
    -Converting the .mp4 to .mov while disabling the sound in mpeg streamclip. IT WORKS and iMovie is able to import AND thumbnail.
    So it'd appear that there's something wrong with the audio in the .mp4 file. Tried other .mp4 files and none of them were able to be converted or imported. Tried extracting the audio from the .mp4 file via MPEG streamclip and there's the same "Audio Decoding Error." The audio on the .mp4 file is AAC.
    OK... It'd appear that I'd need to just import the .mov (no sound) along with the audio from the clip (I've used AudioHijack for that) to edit both in iMovie. The problem is that when I try to export it in iMovie I receive error codes.
    This just all seems way, way more complicated that it needs to be. Does anyone have any suggestions on something I haven't tried yet or perhaps some video editing software (non FCE) worth looking into?
    Thanks

    I was currently having the same issue trying to import into imovie. I have EyeTV Hybrid and when exporting a movie it asks you to select format in which to export it in. I selected m-peg4 and when I tried to import into imovie it was grayed in the finder, so what I did was return to the export feature in EyeTV and exported again under a different format - for imovie. It's exporting as we speak and I feel this will allow me to import properly now. Hope this helps.

  • Problem importing MOV files into iPhoto

    I am getting an error when importing my iPhone mov files into iPhoto -- "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format". However the file plays ok with Quicktime.
    Can someone help me with this? Its a brand new mac and I have the latest iPhoto too.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    This is just a hunch - are they AVCHD? What type of camera/camcorder are they from?

  • Cannot import a .mov file into the library

    I am trying to import a .mov file into my library so I can
    create a .fla file. Every time I try to import it into the library
    using the import wizard, it starts the importing process and always
    quits not quite two minutes into the process. It then returns me to
    the front page of the import wizard. I have done this before with
    absolutely no problems.
    The one thing that I am wondering about is the size of this
    particular .mov file. It is 377MB. Do you think this may be part of
    my problem? Thank you in advance for anyone's input or
    suggestions!

    I would consider 10mb to be too big for a flash file. Even if
    it was CD
    I would load it dynamically to avoid performance problem.
    377mb is out of the question way beyond flash ability to
    maintain stable
    performance, not just the final output but the IDE itself.

  • When i import a movie file into iMovie,it somehow reverts to the shortened file of the same name that i previously had used

    I'm trying to import a movie file into imovie that I know is 3hr16mins long but when it's finished importing,all I have in the programme is the heavily edited 51mins that i used in a previous project (using the same file),5 years ago. How can I stop iMovie from reverting back or could the much longer file be there and I have incorrect settings so I can't see it all?

    Are these files MPEG compressed files? iMovie can not deal with the multiplexed audio of those files. For suggestions on how to get them right start here...
    http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6030.shtml
    And if your files are not MPEGs, some of the suggestions on that page may still do what you need done.

  • Dynamically importing a .mov file into flash

    Hi,
    I need to import a .mov file into a flash file and create a
    .swf movie. I can do it through File > Import Movies option. But
    I want to make it dynamic and import the movie. I would like to use
    ActionScripts rather than the File> Import options. Pls let me
    know if this is possible. Let me know if you have any questions.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Magesh

    You can only dynamically load at runtime FLV movies.
    You can automate the authoring time environment but this is
    only with the Authoring tool. See

  • Can't import any .psd files into after effects.

    Hello all.
    I was using CS5 master collection without issue, for a year. 
    Decided to upgrade to the CS6 master collection and that’s when the problems began.
    For example, I can’t import any .psd files into AE.
    All files are saved in RGB mode.
    The previous files were made on CS5.
    I made a new .psd file in CS6 with just a couple of layers on it, couldn’t import that either.
    I’ve tried Ctrl-alt-shift to delete preferences, that had limited success. I can import a file and do a little bit of work on it but as soon as I close the file down and opened it up again, it does not recognise the .psd file.
    The errors I’m getting in AE are many
    For example:
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    After Effects error: Could not open intro.psd because it is not a valid Photoshop document
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message:<8104><dynamiclink><5>C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro exe
    After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialise PSL
    I have un-installed and re-installed many times.
    I’m using Windows 8, with 32ram. Hard drives C: 100mg, D: 2 Tb
    I’ve tried installing on both drives, still the same thing happens. 
    Does anyone out there in Adobe Land have any ideas?
    Totally confused
    Cheers,
    Gary.

    Hi Arie,
    Thanks for your response.
    It actually happens with every .psd file regardless of size or specs.
    All the other programs in the CS6 master collection work fine, except for AE and PS.
    I tried the small file. Created a small file, 100 px by 100px 72dpi, just with a gradient background. Same thing, not enough memory to initialise PSL.
    I got the adobe cleaner, and re-installed on my system (again) .... same thing.
    As long as I open AE with doing ctrl-alt-shift every single time or export layers from PS individually I seem to be OK.
    The problem is far from solved, so I guess i just have to put up with workarounds.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond

  • How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

    How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

    You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
    The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
    You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
    Then link to this using the url  "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
    My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
    My user name is "wayne"
    so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
    and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

  • Canon IXUS 950 won't import large AVI files into iPhoto

    The new canon Ixus 950 IS wont import large (over 50mb) AVI files in iPhoto, why not?
    They sit on the SD card and then sometimes subsequent pics and video's don't upload.
    If there are say, 3 x 40mb files they dont upload either... After waiting ages the box pops up, unable to import.
    I can individually import the AVI files under 50mb
    I also note that the hard drive icon for the camera does not appear on the desktop or the finder so I could not 'drag' them in either...
    Any ideas?
    David

    I have a similar problem with importing large AVIs from my Canon A610. iPhoto would import everything else (usually) except the large AVIs, which it claims is unreadable. In this particular case (~470MB file), it plays in QuickTime, I've resaved it using QT (still won't import) and converted it from MJPEG to Cinepak (still won't import). I'm now considering cutting the AVI up into smaller chunks and importing those... but any other options before that?
    Misc computer details: Main HD is 120GB with 30 for Boot Camp, 80 remains for Mac OS X, but the iPhoto Library is on an external HD (also 120GB, same model as internal HD except not SATA) formatted to FAT32. Would 10.4.11 make a difference here?

  • I can't import my iTunes files into pages, how can i fix the privileges problem?

    when i try to import any mp3 file into a pages document, i get an access privileges error saying it is either corrupt, damaged or "can't be used" because I don't have access privileges. This has happened since I moved my iTunes library to an external drive.  Anyone have any solutions?  The privileges on both the library folder, and all its files are set to read and write for sharing and permissions.

    If you do not have done so, set the "Ignore Ownership" flag on the external drive. YOu can set this flag from the "File > Get Info" panel for the drive.
    How is your external drive formatted?
    Can other applications open these mp3 files? QuickTime? Do they play in the Finder preview?
    Do the filenames contain special charcters?
