Import from Camera Screen - cut off
Folks,
I am trying tom import from my Sony DCR-DVD201 camcorder. I can import fine, but the "Import from Camera screen" is cutoff and black for the first 3/4 of the screen -- I can see only the very bottom edges of the video clips.
I can still import, but is there a fix/setting for this issue?
i have this bug too. resizing the window, and then hitting play will show the whole window. i have a Panasonic HDC-SD7. it works, but a very annoying.

I know iMovie dv to Final Cut Pro has no audio. At least with my old events. But is there any way I can make it so future dv files Imported From Camera in iMove 2011 will later work in FCP?
Hi
Yes and No
And it depend's on what quality You want and how much problem You stand in FC - and what version of FinalCut You mean.
• FinalCut Pro-X - I have no clue at all
• FinalCut Express and Pro (till 6.0.6) - I'm very familiar to.
• If You take out the Imported/Captured material from Event's - it seems to be 100% OK - but in wrong codec so it will work in FinalCut BUT with a lot of RENDERINGS - every slight change = Need of RENDERING. To much for me.
• If You aim to do some Editing in iMovie them move over to FinalCut = Moving from Event's to Project's result in that every second line in the picture is discarded ( and can not be repaired ) so the project will lose a lot of quality - whatever way You use to Export/Move it over to FinalCut.
So at least I'm better of by Capture in FinalCut from Start as I can keep 100% quality till Movie is done.

Originals auto modified on import from camera
I discovered that iPhoto has modified a lot of my pictures when importing from camera. Not only vertical photos (bacause of auto rotate I believe) but also landscape. Mostly photos with high contrast or too dark/too light photos are modified and enhanced. This makes me angry! I usually export photos to modify in PS and this way I do not work with the original! I suppose the modified version is not lossless.
I can't find out how to turn off this auto modifying.
Any suggestions?hansik:
Are you aware that you can have iPhoto use PS as the default editor? The edited version is saved in the Modified folder and the originals never get touched. The only caveat is that you do not change the extension or file name. If you need to do either then you do a Save As to the desktop and then import as a new file.
Are you concerned about the thumbnail size increase due to HD space issues? There is a way to have your source files on an external HD and only have aliases, thumbnails and the modified files on your PB. My 27G (15,600+ files) of image files on my second HD are represented by a 1.75 G iPhoto library on my boot drive. When the external drive is not connected the library is still operational on a limited basis: you can view thumbnails, create, delete and move album folders, add comments and, with some hassle but doable, add keywords. You can't edit, work with books, slideshow, etc. or anything that requires moving thumbnails. Once the HD is remounted the library is fully functional again. Great for laptops with limited space. -
"Import from camera" doen't work
I want to import movies from mi iPhone 4S and the "import from camera" option doesn't work. When I click de button (or pressing cmd+I, or going to archive > import from camera) the arrow turns to the colored beach ball of death and the aplication doesn't response.
Any solution? If I import videos from archives there's any problem, but I want to import videos from my iPhone 4SYes, I tried with iMovie 11 and it works perfectly, I can import videos from my iPhone 4S without any problem. But with Final Cut Pro X I got this problem
I don't know what to do, I tried to repair permissions, erase the events folder... And nothing, the problem stills there
I can use iMovie and then import from Final Cut, but it's a double work. I want to use this option in Final Cut -
I used to use log and transfer and now in final cut x I know you are supposed to use import file, however you have to import the entire clip instead of being able to select an in and an out point of the footage being imported. This is not good for me because I have a limited amount of space and if I'm going to be converting everything to prores and only using 65% of the footage that is a huge waste. Any help or work arounds would be appreciated. Thanks!
I import from P2 and 7D cards daily, it's super easy, very fast, very simple, not so complicated.
Here's how you do it.
1- CF card in a card reader, mount on Desktop, or copy whole card contents to a folder. (P2 can read directly from inside cam)
2- Open "Import From Camera" in FCP X.
3- Click "Open Archive" button.
4- Point to CF card.
* FCP X will act like L&T now.
* Select a Range of a clip you want to import, click import button.
* Select a different Range of same clip, click import button.
* If you want whole clips, highlight one or more whole clips, import.
* Imports are ProRes 422 files.
* If you want a backup of the CF or P2 card "as is", click the Create Archive button.
Very simple, no need for thrid party BS. It's really simple and easy.
Canon DSLR's have never been able to mount the cards while inside the camera. You have always needed a card reader. -
Import from Camera ... (As filming) Lap top View Smaller Now
I am using a firewire from my Canon Vixia HV30 to my MacBook Pro using Import from Camera . . .
I've done this in the past but now the camera frame view is nestled in the bottom left corner of my screen. It used to be full screen. I didn't do anything to set it up that way. It's just the way it always worked. But I had a system failure and had to reload my OS and software and have this. I don't know whether they're connected or I've touched an untouchable without realizing it. I don't know in the end whether it matters but it helps to have the full view when I'm filming this way.
I'm fairly new at this so my searches may be using the wrong key words and probably in the content of this post. I'm tagging the post using words I think are correct but correct me if I'm wrong and I'll tune them up so the next person finds the answer too.
Any help appreciated.

Import from camera (Canon XHA1) in FCPX
When I try to import footage from tape on a Canon XHA1 connected with firewire, it doesn't work, only the webcam appears as an option.
(I already changed the PLAYBACK STD to HDV andHD DOWN-CONV to OFF)
What to do?ad 0)
why don't you select just the portions you need in FCPX import dialog? Imports from cam (or cam archives) allow the usual skimming, in/out and the new multiple in/out selections …-
ad 1)
I wouldn't use iM's imports at all in FCPX, see following …
ad 2)
yes, there is a loss; iMovie converts to AppleIntermediate, which is versatile but not as good as FCPX' prores. -
When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?
Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera. -
Any idea how to import from a camera these days? In Aperture it found the camera automatically and you could select photos and import.
With Photos it seems that if I go to File > Import I can find my camera shown as an external drive but I can't then choose a sub folder so I can't seem to import any photos that way.
The way I'm doing it at the moment is through Finder - dragging and dropping onto the desktop and then importing that way.Importing from cameras should work just as it did in iPhoto. As LarryHN points out, if it doesn't, let us know exactly what is occurring.
IF you have not yet done so, enable Sidebar (from the View menu). This will list the connected camera under the Devices group. When you select your camera, confirm that the Open Photos... option is checked. -
Hang during import from camera or media - HELP!
iPhoto hangs during import from camera or media reader. Works for 20 or more photos, then hangs. No response at all. Must force quit. After restarting the import, it will go further the next time, then hang again. And again. And again. Eventually the import completes. After that, all is OK until next import. VERY FRUSTRATING. Especially with 8GB media cards. ARRGH!
I've tried rebuilding iPhoto library (all options). Using iPhoto 7.1.5 on OS X 10.5.6. 4GB ram, intel dual core.
Help me Obe-Wan. You're my only hope.LarryHN wrote:
Once you get your photos use your camera to reformat your media card - problems like this can be caused by a flaw in the card format
And it is better to use a card reader to import yoru photos and after they are safely in iPhoto use your camera to reformat your card - this assues no data loss and keeps your card format fresh
LN
I usually use the media reader. After the imports started hanging is when I tried importing direct from the camera to see if it made a difference. No difference.
I've reformatted the media. No difference. Still hangs on first import after reformat. Multiple media cards, all same result. Tried different USB ports, same result. Tried different media readers. Same result. -
Why does the "Import from Camera" selection open up iSight instead of my camera?
My Sony Cyber-Shot is connected my iMac through the included USB. About an hour - two hours ago I clicked on the Import from Camera option and it showed my videos recorded using my camera, but now when I click the option it opens up the built in iSight instead. Can someone please help me? How can I get it to open up my camera video files instead of iSight?
I don't have the Sony, but on my Canon you have to have the camera in "play" mode and when you plug in the usb the camera asks to what do you want the camera to connect. You choose "computer." In other words, it makes a difference in what order you connect things.

Hi, i've imported some mts files from my camera on fcpx 10,04 then i erase them (also from the trash). now if i try to reimport them, the import from camera doesn't see them anymore even if i see the files in the finder. someone could help me??
ps
i got a backup for the files but even if they are on the mmc, when camera is connected fcpx doesn't see them. if i try to import a new shoot it works!!Thx a lot Salty. As you suggest I found other staff on support pages. I deleted AVCHD structure and kept only .mts... Now what I need to do is to convert those files with handbrake or similar tool in .mp4 or .mov to make them digest to FCPX.

Share Screen Cuts Off Along With Videos
Recently, during my video calls the share screen cuts off both webcams go out along with it.
When trying to turn the webcams back on they just keep circling and we would have to end the call and call back for our webcam videos to show up.
Also the webcam video randomly gets blurry even when the connection is good and shows its still white on the connetion.
When trying to turn the video off and back on to see if it would help it will come back clear for a few seconds then revert back to a blurry image.
The video is normally a rectangle shape when its clear, but crops into a small square when blurred.
Once again have to end the call and call back.Yes. The MBair uses magnets to detect when the screen is closed. When you move a magnet along the edge, the MBair thinks you've closed the screen and puts it to sleep.
Edit: This won't hurt your MBair. -
Hi. LR 4.4. Mac OS X 10.9.5. Sudden problem: LR does not find files to import from cameras. I read some similar problems here so: Changed cable. Changed cameras. LR FINDs the cameras and identifies them correctly. But when I hit import, in bottom left corner it says "finding files", circle rotating indefinitely and nothing shows up. I deleted LR preference file. Started new catalog. Strangely, if interestingly, it did then ONCE find 5 of 100 pix on my Nikon D7000, but not the other 95 photos, and still nothing on the Canon Powershot G7X. It can import from the hard drive. Frustrating! Thanks for any suggestions. ---DG
yes, SS, that's what I'm doing and of course I can't FIND the card reader! Good idea though...
