Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks. Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom.
The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes. When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
After reading on various forums I have tried:
restarting computer (many times)
uninstalling previous version of LR
purging video cache
changing source location
changing destination and/or import type
reinstalling LR5.3
I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3. They play fine in Quicktime.
Has anyone else solved this problem?

So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

Problems importing video into Event....

Hi,
I've used iMovie loads but recently I've had issues importing video into an event.
I choose "import", choose the video (from GoPro) and then it takes 2-3 hours to import maybe half of the clips but not all. I am importing no more than 7 clips at a time and these clips are 17 minutes each.
Are the clips too big?
Please help.

How can I avoid importing video into Lightroom CC?

Hi all,
I am using Lightroom CC on my iMac to catalogue my photos, a task I really find Lightroom perfect for.
However, I am also using my DSLR for shooting video´s, which I edit with Final Cut Pro. Lightroom is _not_ a part of the video import/editing workflow, so I really do not want to have Lightroom import all videos in addition to all my photos.
My question is:
How can I set up Lightroom so that it no longer import videos?
My current workflow is tedious, and really not one I like: I import everything into Lightroom, and then manually delete all the video´s.
Your help is kindly appreciated!

Lr isn't particularly good at separating out individual files types within the import window. However, some of the third party plugins usually provide the sort of filtering you require. Unfortunately, I can't recall exactly which ones do, but you could try this one from Rob Cole as a starter http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/ImporterLrPlugin/ or http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/OttomanicImporterLrPlugin/

Problem importing pictures into lightroom 5.4 on a Mac.

I have lighroom 5.4 on a Mac and I am having some trouble importing pictures into my library on lightroom. The other day I was trying to import some from another folder in my computer and the files were showing up empty (although they were not). And today I was trying to import from an SD card and I was having the same problem. I shoot in raw on a Nikon. So what can I do to fix this problem?
This is what it looks like when I try to import

Ask in the LR forum and provide exact technical info - "I shot raw on Nikon" and "on a Mac" is not.

Problem importing images into Lightroom 5.6

I use an iMac 10.9.5. I've been importing CR2 files converting to DNG into Lightroom 5.6 with no problems.
Suddenly, files are taking an age to import and Lightroom hangs without loading all the files. I have to force quit Lightroom and then my computer hangs and won't shut down. I close by holding the button down on the back of the iMac. Then Lightroom fails to open. After many attempts I've managed to start Lighroom again but I still have the same problem loading the files. I have tried deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder, as suggested on this forum but that hasn't cured the problem. I don't know whether this has caused a problem but I used a Transcend multi card reader for the first time this week instead of my usual reader. Perhaps there was some kind of issue with compatibility although there shouldn't have been. Now though, I can't upload from my old card reader properly either.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply dj..paige. It could have been the new card reader that caused the initial problem but I used more than one card so I don't think the card is the problem. The original reader wouldn't work either.
Update: Lightroom now seems to be back to normal. I don't know why but it seems to have sorted itself out. Perhaps deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder had an effect after all, after a few attempts at opening and closing Lightroom.
I'm sending the Transcend multi card reader back for a refund as I'm sure this started the problem.
I've wasted two days sorting this - nightmare!

Problem importing videos into iPhoto 9.5 on Mavericks.

I have had Macs and iPhones for years but I have never used iPhoto until now. I am trying to import a large collection of pictures and videos into iPhoto 9.5. Pics import well, but for videos (avi, mp4, mov, etc) I get an error message "The file is an unrecognized format" and then I get a list of hundreds of videos that have failed to upload. These videos are mostly ones taken with iPhones. I have tried a few things and have even resorted to creating a new library, but the same result each time. Anyone have suggestions?

I launched iPhoto while holding down option, I deleted the old library in finder and created another but the same thing happened. In my case the exact same count of 554 avi's and mov's weren't imported. It lists the files that
weren't imported in a scrollable window. I opened a few of the listed files in quicktime without issue.

Problem importing videos into file-shared library

There appears to be a bug in iPhoto for importing videos in the case where a library is opened via file sharing.
I've posted a bug report with Apple but it might help others to know about this. If I'm mistaken feel free to explain, that would be helpful too.
I have an iPhoto library on a Mac Mini server at home. I often open the iPhoto library on the mini via file sharing from my laptop to edit it.
I can drag and drop photos from my Sony DSC-H55 memory card plugged into my laptop onto iPhoto and they import fine into the file-shared library.
If I do the same with videos I get an error message that they are an unsupported file type.
If I copy the videos to the mini, and open iPhoto locally on the mini, they import fine.
In every other way, working with this iPhoto library via file sharing has been flawless, so this looks like a bug.

Interesting, thanks for the warning, Terence. I guess I assumed error correction would deal with that scenario, but I suppose there are insidious errors that could slip through and result in a mangled library. I do regular backups but still, I might lose that one special priceless photo!
It's easy enough to use screen sharing to operate iPhoto on the mini over wireless. I can transfer files first and then import that way. That would avoid this bug too.
Would you say this applies to other aspects of file sharing too? In other words, should we simply never edit a crucial file on a remote machine connected by wireless?
Where I work we often use SVN over wireless. I wonder if we could damage something while updating the repository.

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time. I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100. I have a Mac using 10.6.8. I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files. This happens with both raw and jpeg files. Thanks for a repl

thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission. I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer. It says can not read files with a code "298". I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode. I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc
I have installed lightroom cc and having trouble imortera images from my Canon 1DX.
Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.
Now I have left lightroom 5 and where the input port works fine.
What happened to the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to lightroom cc?
The camera has the latest software.

I've now tested in various ways.
First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
Which can be translated:
"The following files were not imported because they could not read (351)
Property 1-100
etc. "

Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4

Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4. I don't understand why this is not straight forward.

Hello!
The DNG format's goal is to be an universal file formats for camera raw files: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html?promoid=DTEHA
You can save a DNG from camera raw without a problem.
Just go the the bottom left hand corner of the interface, and select "save image".
(as explained here in the help files: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html#WSB0DC278F-B3DF-4a60-88BC-B3D6A852C242 )
Or are you trying to save an file edited in Photoshop as a DNG?
For what purpose, exactly? A TIFF, PSD or PSB file can have a raw file, saved as a Smart Object (to allow later reprocessing in Camera Raw) and all the pixel/vector editing layers intact.
If saved with maximize compatibility, it can be opened in Lightroom for cataloging, and editing, if needed.

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
-Mike

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7. When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.
