Import only new clips from previously-imported Mini DV tape

Is there a way to import only the new clips that have been captured since the last import when a Mini DV (tape-based) camcorder is the source?
I’m using a iMovie 8.0.3 with my Canon Elura 100 and it imports clips fine in Automatic mode when I’m capturing the whole tape. However, if I’ve already imported part of the tape before, iMovie appears to re-import all of the previous clips plus the new ones. And, I’m also now in a situation where it doesn’t seem to have imported the new clips from a previously used tape that I started to tack new clips onto the end of.
I don’t get enough time to sit in front of iMovie to sort out what’s going on, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So there’s no way to use the Automatic mode, and for iMovie to skip over already-imported clips? Or recognize that a clip has been imported already, and prompt whether to continue to actually import it or not?
I ask merely because, given the length of a DV tape, this kind of thing probably happens regularly. And iPhoto, for example, understands when images have previously been imported.
If there is no such feature, I’m willing to submit it as a feature request. However, given the direction DV tape is going (despite its benefits), I don’t see this as something that will be implemented. All the new media have random access.

How to import AVCHD clips from HD camcorder?

How I can import AVCHD clips from Sony HDR-TG1 with best possible quality to iMovie '09?
Camera records clips as 1080i format but when I import them to iMovie '09 quality are cr*p. I have a same problem with iMovie '08. This has something to do with interlacing and single field processing but is there any workaround (other than using PC)?

Preview playback may not be too good since QuickTime in general doesn't seem to deinterlace very well (when it deinterlaces at all).
Quality of exported footage varies greatly according to whether or not you select +just the right+ export settings. See this thread for details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8859971
If exporting to SD (particularly, to iDVD), see here:
http://pond.org.uk/misc/imovieandhd/workflow.html
I'm planning to update this guide soonish with information on how to end up with 720p60 output from 1080i60 input (i.e. in effect treat the input as 1920x540 at 60 frames/sec progressive, turning it into 1280x720 at 60 frames/set progressive).

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

'''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

Trying to Import music i purchased from old account to new & can't remember old account info nor does it exsist. what to do??? thanks

This isn't really an iTunes Match questions but I'll give it a shot.
Unfortunately, you must remember the username and password for that account. If you can't you won't be able to play that protected music. There's really no way around this.

How to import .MOV files coming from everio camcorder ?

How can I import .MOV files coming from everio camcorder to imovie ? All I've tried failed, iMovie doesn't want my files, or even recognize.
All answer welcome.
Thanx

JVC released the Quicktime Components update:
<http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm>
which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:
The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
Here are a few basics:
1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

How do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie

how do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie.

First open up Imovie. Then plug the camcorder into the USB port. The computer will search for the camera. It will give a snapshot of what is on there. You can just click on CHECK ALL. It will begin to import. It will also tell you how long it will take. Once it is imported, click DONE. THEN, this is important, drag the snapshots into IMovie on the top to create a new project. You can also click on New Project and name it. When all the pics are in the movie, it will be saved. You can then edit it any way you want. I've done this many times on a Mac. My problem is the internal memory. I have to find out how to get the internal memory videos into my computer. Am currently researching it. BTW, importing from the memory stick is what I did above. Hope this helps.

Having issue trying to import large (23min) clip into iMovie 08 and FCEx 4.0.1

Through my iMac 2.0GHz 2GB ram, Intel Core Duo using OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Try to no success to import a 23 min AVCHD clip into either
iMovie 08 or FCEx 4.0.1. I know my mac, OS and software are antiquated by today's current editions, but that said never had this issue before.
Footage was shot with Sony NX5u camera using SDHC (class 10) media. The event I shot has 54 video clips on the card. All but this large clip
will import. So I don't think it's some kinda of file structure issue. Otherwise I think none of the clips would have imported into to either editing program.
Each (iMovie 08 and FCEx) will begin the import process for this large clip. iMovie begins to import, but in the end only 11:28 of the full 23 min. get imported.
FCEx after beginning to import eventually aborts the import. I know in the past I've been able to import long clips (15-20min) with no issues. Maybe
someone here has a solution. Dare I say I need to bump my ram up to 6GB, upgrade to Yosemite, upgrade to latest iMovie or FCPX. Considered trying
Adobe Premier. Right now I'm wide open for any suggestions on how to tackle this problem.

Hi M
First thing that comes to mind is - Have You just installed FinalCut on
Your Mac. There are a known problem with this so that You have to
go to Library folder and move out FCE or pro files to make share back
to camera to work in iMovie.
my notes:
This can happen with iMovie 3 or iMovie 4. This does not occur with iMovie HD 5.0.
The solution is to temporarily move the following files from /Library/QuickTime / to the Desktop:
Final Cut Pro HD
? DesktopVideoOut.component
? DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
Final Cut Express HD
? DesktopVideoOut.component
Restart the computer and try exporting from iMovie to your camera.
When you need to use Final Cut Pro HD or Final Cut Express HD again, drag these files back to /Library/QuickTime / and restart the computer.
Yours Bengt W

Problems importing the same clips from diferents cards IMAC and CS5

Hi, I'm having trouble importing my clips recorded in The ex1, I'm using CS5 with an imac, The problem is that when I import the same clips recorded in two cards, the second card comes exactly with what is inside the first card. It does not have what was originally in it, it just copies what was on the first card or vice versa. But the original folder in my drive is intact with the two cards intact. The problem is when I import it to CS5 on IMAC. When i import the video the imac makes a long file with all the clips an puts them together except the clips from the previous card, it shows but with the same video that is in the begining of the second card or the last clip recorded in the second card .I tried to import the clip again from the first card and it comes with the same video from the second card again.

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.
