"mistake" sign when importing AVCHD from camera

Dears!
Could anyone advice, what is the solution for the issue: with iMovie 09 I'm trying to import AVCHD films from Sony HDR C11. The program sees the films and even can play them (in import window). The import process starts and continues for the while, after that (when the import has been finished) it shows the mistake sign below the clip. During the process iMovie creates all theneded files in events folder and even the final .mov file appeares,but only till th end of the import process - afterwards the .mov disappeares...
I really feel it should be quite an easy soltion (some time ago with iMovie 08 I succeded sevsral times to do that), but I cant find it...
thanx in advance...

Jim thanx for attempts))
Well if you can imagine the window that shows the process of importing, - there are clips on the bottom (where you check choosing what to import) and a big screen on the top where you can watch a clip... After you chose (checked) the clip, you push the "import" button and the process starts... Below the importing clip you see the progress line... It runs to the end and then after the import of the clip is finished, a sign "Mistake" (it is in russian.. probably in english it would be written with some other word..) appears below the clip...

IMovie freezes when importing AVCHD from Canon HF20

I've recently bought a *Canon HF20 AVCHD* Full HD camcorder, and am having a hard time importing the footage through iMovie '09. Here's exactly what happens:
1. I connect the USB to the back port of the iMac. The camera indicates a flashing USB symbol and nothing else happens. It doesn't mount the camera drive and iMovie doesn't detect the camera.
2. OK, so I connect the USB to a powered USB hub and it displays the correct message on the camera, mounts the camera drive and iMovie detects the camera is connected correctly.
3. I tell iMovie to import the footage. After a while, the estimated time left begins to increase up to hours long, and the progress bar eventually stops, and iMovie freezes, whith the colored spinning wheel as the cursor.
Each time I try to import the footage, iMovie freezes at different points.
Does anyone else have this problem importing AVCHD footage into iMovie '09 ?
Thanks in advance,
João Faraco

Well, judging from the deafening response, posting this question here is pretty useless.

Incorrect file name when importing pictures from camera

I am using PE 10 on Mac Snow Leopard.
When I import pictures from my camera and select "Rename Files" with "Custom Date" + "Shot Date" (any format), the file name includes the custom name correctly, but the date part of the file name is some random date (with a weird year: 1913, 1969). Note the example shown on the Photo Downloader is usually the one used. The shot date in the meta data is usually correct. This appears to be similar to a problem when using the "Create Subfolder" option.
Any ideas why or a work-around?
I was using PE 8 and did not have this problem.

Hi dannrendon2,
Have you successfully run the PSE10_Hot.dmg file? You will not see any change in PSE10 or PhotoDownloader , it is just for fixing the issue of incorrect date format .
Please follow all the steps mentioned in KB article link mentioned above. Finally when you installed the updater there would be a message of successful installation .
If there is a failure in your updating process [In your case it is second attempt of updation, there may be a failure] , uninstall your application , check if there is any residual file in application folder under Elements Organizer or Photoshop Elements (delete them). Now again install PSE10 and try to update PSE10_HotFix.dmg updater. There should be a successfully completed message.
Thanks,
Nizam

Incorrect subfolder dates when importing photos from camera

I installed the trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 on my iMac a few days ago to try it out. When I import photos from a camera (I have tried with 2 different cameras) in Photoshop Elements Organizer, I am asked to select a naming format for the subfolders. I select "Shot Date (yyyy mm dd)", but no matter what, I always get folders with strange dates eg. 1913 11 05, 1970 06 10. The photos themselves within the subfolders have the right dates, so I am not sure where the problem is.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Make sure your prefs are set to date shot - there are a number of choices.
Open the Organizer and click Edit à Preferences à Camera or Card Reader
Choose your setting from the dropdown menu and click OK.

When importing photos from camera to Ipad 2, they used to import into date "folders" now folders named 112imprt etc, how do i change it back?

not sure what I did, would really like to change it back, also even though the location is on for pics it is not tagging them.
I am using the camera Kit
thanks
Lisa

On 4.3.5 with the CCK I get a Last Import and All Imported Albums, and Events with an 'album' per date (with the event having the date as its name). There is no setting that I know of.

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB. When opening Log&Transfer in FCP, no files show up (the Log&Transfer window do not seem to recognize the files on the camera). The camera shows up in Finder, though. - Do I need a driver?

sorry, of course USB is available for L&T, I use it every Friday so I should know better, I got two replies mixed up completly so thanks for correcting my mistake.
what I meant to suggest was if the camera does not show in finder or in L&T check the camea menu setting is set to connect to the hard drive and not from the camera or memory card.

How to import AVCHD from Sony A7S to Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows 7

Hi, I'm a comparative newbie who just needs to edit some training videos shot on Sony A7S.
The adobe help documents suggest that PP CC 2014 can import .MTS files in AVCHD 25p format, but however I approach this it seems to come back with 'unsupported file' error.
I've tried importing direct from camera over wifi, downloading files to hard drive and then importing from there, downloading entire folders to hard drive and then importing from there... But nothing seems to work.
When I search online I get lots of seeming 'spam' about a variety of converters, is this what I am compelled to do?
I guess I'm getting something really simple wrong, I'd appreciate it if someone kind can tell me the error of my ways!

Thanks Neil, that's a great help.
Just to clarify...
I'm currently accessing the camera through wifi, so it shows up in my windows explorer 'window' on the left hand side as an icon under 'Computer'.
When I double click that icon, I get a 'storage device' icon in the main window.
The recommended approach would be to drag and drop the entire contents of the storage device onto a folder on my hard drive - is that correctly understood?
Then I should access content through media browser window, NOT 'import' under file?

Importing photos from Camera to computer

Hi all,
With the old version of Iphoto, when importing photos from the camera, the original files were automaticaly organized in the picture folder according the captures dates and times: separate folders for years, months and days.
When importing using the newer version, the photos will only be organized according the roll name and the "created date" of the file is the time of importation and not the time of capture any more. So now I have to make all the organizing of original files manually !
Does any one know if this is normal, and if what I can do to change this ?
Any help is welcome.

Hi.
Yes, this is perfectly normal. With version 6 iPhoto is organized by Film Rolls. There is no way to change it, as this is the fundamental organization of the iPhoto Library.
If you are concerned that you won't be able to find your photos, rest assured that iPhoto makes it easy. You can:
*drag and drop to another application or your desktop
*Right-click (control-click) and select "Show File." A Finder window will open with the file selected
*File> Export> File Export for use outside of iPhoto. Best practice when uploading to a website or creating a list of jpegs to have printed at a photo developer.
And to find your photos by date, try the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. You can pull up photos from a given year, month, and/or day with just a few clicks.
If you don't like the organization of your Film Rolls, you can reorganize them. Just be sure to do this from iPhoto, and NEVER from inside the Finder. Once your Rolls are organized to your liking, you will only have to file new imports into your system. The rolls you create will be reflected in the iPhoto Library folder structure you see in Finder. This gives you more control over how your photos are stored compared with previous versions of iPhoto.

LR displays "no preview available" upon import direct from camera after last update. How do I fix this?

I have the latest LR update with Nikon D700 and import directly from camera. I purchased a new CF card in case the old one was the problem but I get the same thing with the new card. Is there a bug in the last update or is this a problem with my equipment?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

After downloading yosemite, can't import photos from camera to iPhoto

After downloading Yosemite 10.10.1 to my Macbook Air, I can't import photos from camera to iPhoto. Had no problem before. It recognizes camera and says loading, but it never does load photos.

That's the latest version.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window.

IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera

iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed

I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

How do I import AVCHD from my Panasonic Camara to iMovie '11?

How do I import AVCHD from my Panasonic Camara to iMovie '11?
I know i did it once and for the life of me I cannot remember how! I do not remember getting any additional software... i am pretty sure iMovie '11 can do it on it's own. I have a Panasonic Camera that takes movies in AVCHD.
Looks like it is in a .MTS format. HELP! Please...

• connect device via usb
• set to on/play
• select in iM 'import from camera'

After Import AVCHD from Sony CX730, IMPOSSIBLE to put the video on the Timeline!!!!!

I have bought Premiere three days ago. I am working on a AVCHD project, with clips from a Sony FS700 (1080 50p), and clips from a Sony CX730 (1080 25p). I can import the clips but for the CX730 clips it is impossible to put them on the timeline!!!!!
I can put the audio (5-1) on audio 4, but impossible to put the video... Everybody told me that Premiere support all the codec on the same project... It is not true!!!
Why????

Yes! you are right, every thing work well now!! Thanks a lot!
