Attempt Import and after Choose Clicked - No Import Dialog

When attempting to import pictures, after I select the pictures to import, then click choose, the box closes, but the next import diaglog box does not open.
Then,the program is locked and nothing works until ESC is pressed.
All worked fine before with CS2 Premium and Lightroom 1.4.
However, I now have CS3, and both Lightoom 1.4 and 2.1 don't import photos as explained above.
Is there a conflict or some routine I have to run to sort this out? Thank you!

It sounds like the Import dialog is off-screen. Did you used to have two monitors and now only have one, or used to have a higher resolution and now have a lower resolution?
If it is off-screen, the way you can get it back is to use the Move command that most all Window's-windows have. You can access it by using Alt-Space when the window has focus, which would be just after you do the Choose... command.
Hit Alt-Space and then M and then use the cursor-arrow keys to move the window in one direction then the other until you see it peek onto the screen.
You can try this with an on-screen window to see what happens.
If you're on a Mac there is likely an equivalent command sequence.

Are you in your user account?
In the Import window you'll see a Desktop folder at the root level of our drive. You don't want that one.
You want the one in your the folder for your user account.

(1) Is there any way that I can get the transition menu to remain on the screen. I select a transition, drag it to the timeline and after I click done I have to start the process all over to perform this action on the next transition. I have premiere elements 12. In older version the menu would stay on the screen.
(2) In pan and zoom how can start zoom on a photo in the original picture and zoom in and the next picture zoom out and the next photo pan from right to left and the next photo pan left to right.
Thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? If you have not already, be sure to update 12 to 12.1, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
But to the immediate questions, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
1. No, it is what it is. But, are you applying the same transition each time? If so, then highlight/select all the clips involved (all at one time), then Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition will do just that for the highlighted/selected clips.
To highlight/select more than one clip at a time, hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard and then click on each clip that you want in the group selection
or
with your mouse cursor draw a rectangle around the clips that you want to select
2. Are you using the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace Pan and Zoom Tool? Or the pan or zoom presets under fx Effects/Presets/? With those you can do pan or zoom, not pan and zoom.
Or, are you in the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor using the pan and zoom effect there? Or, are you using keyframing the Motion Scale property for zoom and the Motion Position property for pan?
Are you asking about photos with landscape or portrait orientation?
The pan and zoom tool does one photo at a time.
Have you read the Adobe documentation on the Pan and Zoom Tool?

First try restarting your Mac into "safe mode", which will run the equivalent of a Disk Utility "repair disk" operation. If your Mac shuts down during that process, you'll have to try something a little more powerful (and more expensive), such as DiskWarrior.

Just bought my mac mini and set up my apple account. I was trying to pay a game on the game center and after I click on the accept agreement and hit send, it show saving and then it locks up.

just bought my mac mini. loggin into my game center, and after accepting the user agreement, it then saves my options. After trying serveral times, my screen just shows my options are saving and does nothing past this point. even after waiting a very long time.

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Or...
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.

I do not see my external drive in the Events Library and cannot choose it to import media to. Can you help please?

I do not see my external hard drive in the Events Library pane. How do I get my media to import to my external hard drive instead of Macintosh HD please?

Hi Tom, Thank you for your reply. Please forgive my ignorance. I did try to find the answer here but I am new at this. Could you direct me to that thread please? Yes the external hard drive is used for time machine and I did see something at one time regarding an issue but evidently it didnt sink in or stick. The drive is a g-raid I have had for several years used on a macbook pro but now I have a new imac and fcpx. works fine with all other apps, when the drive came out of the box it said preformatted and just ran with it.

I've downloaded download assistant and after I click run and it installs, nothing happens and photoshop elements isn't on my computer. What is the next step?

When will the File menuitem on OS X be released after having opened and cancelled out of the Import window with Fx 4 beta 12?

This [http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4186/screenshot20110226at124.png (Image)File menuitem not released after closing Import window.]
It has been there since early Firefox 4 betas. With 3.6 and 3.5 of Firefox it happened with the Tools and Bookmarks menuitem, also on Leopard and Snow Leopard the same way like the screenshot above. It happens more often that I would like. I'm not in the File menu at all and yet it's highlighted. I've closed the Firefox window and reopened a new window but the File menu remains active until I actively press it again or any other menu in the Firefox 4 menubar.
You can try it by choosing the File menu -> Import and then simply close the Import window and return to Firefox 4 for a browsing session. Does the File menuitem remain active? Happens each time now that I figured out the correct trigger that I mentioned with the Import window.

Hi Rick & Todd
thanks for testing & responding
@ Rick - ProRes cannot be fixed with color management. At all. It is a problem that adobe has setting a correct quicktime gamma flag.
I am color-tight if re-importing encoded file back in to AE or any other adobe app. When exporting to PR or Quicktime in General, something is going terribly wrong.
@ Todd - This whole thing did not leave me alone and I have figured out what the problem is (aside from the Quicktime issue)
If AE's Audio Hardware Preferences is set to anything else than built-in audio this problem occurs. Setting it to Built-in Audio all the issues are remedied.
@ Todd - I have Crash Reporter Enabled.. but AE never crashes ;-)
@ Todd - I spent the better half of this year beta testing PT 11 for AVID along with another dedicated set of folks... The reason we test so long prior to release is to get rid of all the small issues that should never surface in a commercial software. Of Course you cannot get all of them but such as testing the audio hardware capabilites of AE prior to a major release should have been cought by the beta crew.. If any.
The quicktime issues are long standing - how about opening contact with Apple ( you are a developer and entitled to Apple Support) and tell them about the problem. And have them help you.
I mean, you offer Speedgrade which is a fantastic app, PPRO, AE & PS (All great) but what good is greatness if neihter is able to deliver. The quicktime file is being displayed with a .8955 gamma offset (What one would have to offset the quicktime file by) when viewed in any other app than adobe's That is a lot.

HT201302 I have a 4S Iphone and wish to transfer my photoes to my Windows 7 PC, but It wont work. I go to "computer" click on "import pictures and videos" but a window opens stating " No pictures or videos were found on this device". Need your help please

Just to add that my iphone is connected to my PC, the "Autoplay" box is seen, but again when I click on "import pictures and videos, using Windows" a window opens saying "No pictures or videos were found on this device".

Thank you Peter, I had already tried this link before asking for help. I followed the steps, and when I clicked on " import pictures and videos " , a window poped up saying " No pictures or videos were found on this device". Any helps !

Lightroom 4.4 is crashing when click the import button (not reponsive)

I have read through all sorts of answers to this problem that others have had, and so far I have not found an answer that has worked for me. Hoping someone can help.
I try to import, but after I click the button, it just starts spinning to not responsive. I had considered uninstalling and reinstalling but from what i hear that doesn't fix the problem either.
I'm running Windows 7.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: Usually I have my SD card already in my slot before I click on import. I opened LR without my SD card in my computer and it worked. But WHY can't I have the card in before I click on import like I always have????

What is the best video format for importing into After Effects CS5

Please look at this video, work in progress.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49_wbdKALQk
The opening, featuring a ribbon of videos, was created in After Effects, using Digieffects Freeform.
The issue is the poor quality of the videos that are featured in the opening -- compared to the higher quality of videos from the original Premiere project., which you can see at the end of the clip.
To create the After Effects project, I exported a series of video clips from Premiere to mp4.
Then I imported them into AfterEffects.
The bottom line, and the purpose of this question, is I am thinking that MP4 was not the best choice for the Adobe Premiere export.
What is the best format to export video from in Premiere Pro CS5 to import into after effects, or to import into any other editing program, incuding importing right back into Adobe Premiere, if that is eever needed.
AVI?
MOV
MP4
And any other settings that will result with the highest qualiity videos for importing.
Thanks

To follow on with Wade's suggestion...
There are lots of ways to get movies and projects and other things back and forth between After Effects and Premiere Pro. This page outlines them:
"Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects"
If you must render and export a movie out of one application to bring it into another, there is a very basic piece of video workflow advice that you need to keep in mind (which applies to _all_ video software, not just After Effects and Premiere Pro):
If you're creating a movie to be used in the next step of a post-production pipeline, you _never_ want to use a format that does lossy compression. You either use no compression or (preferable) lossless compression. Examples of codecs that provide lossless compression are the Animation codec and PNG codec at the highest quality settings; these can be used in a QuickTime container, for example. Never compress a movie with lossy compression except at the very end of your pipeline, when you're creating the final movie for distribution.
MP4 (MPEG-4) is a lossy codec. The quality loss is acceptable for the last stage in the pipeline, but it's not acceptable for an intermediate file.
It seems that you would benefit from reading this and and working your way through this.

Best export format for importing into After Effects or even back into Premiere

Okay, here's where I stand at this point regarding exporting and/or dynamic linking between AfterEffects and Premiere.
I'm in After Effects. I create a composition I like. So I first tried the old fashioned way. I exported it into a MOV file with the animation preset. Millions of colors. Same frame rate as my Premiere project, which also uses MOV files with no problem.
Howver when I import the MOV file created by After effects, the NEW MOV file section of the premier project plays sluggish. And it also causes the videos that follow to play sluggish. And they are all MOV files at the same frame rate.
The same thing happens when I do a dynamic link between the two projects. A sluggish response starting with the After Effects dynamic link and affecting the MOV video files that follow.
It's a very short After Effects composition. About 3 second slong.
I have a very powerful computer built especially for CS5 and premiere --so that should not be an issue -- recently was in the top ten of the benchmark list.
Up to this point my video files have played perfectly layer upon layer with no problems.
Is there something I am not considering?
Thanks.

What project setting should be used in the current Premiere Pro CC to import and edit xdcam XAVC UHD content?

I cannot find a setting that is available when importing XDCAM XAVC UHD (3840x2160) 422 progressive content, shot using sLOG3, nor any other form of XDCAM 4K/UHD. There is no option for XAVC that I can find, nor is there anything under XDCAM HD for 4K/UHD like there is for REDCAM. Is there a Plugin that I need? Or does Premiere Pro CC not yet truly support Sony XDCAM XAVC yet?
The Adobe posted compatibility list for PPro CC says that it will support almost all forms of XDCAM, including RAW 4k, but the reality of what is actually now available in PPro CC appears to be another thing. I hope I just missed something? But as always, Adobe leaves you guessing at these things.
BTW, I tried the REDCAM UHD 29.97 3840x2160 setting, and after the file is imported, PPro takes a dive. That was a shot in the dark of my own, and I expected it to fail. But now I have 600+GB of files that are in limbo. Thanks Adobe chat support for not being available during the hours listed on the support pages.

Fix Imports broken after latest updates

Hi, Everything was working fine with creator until I installed the latest updates from update center a few hours ago. Now, whenever I use the Fix Imports feature it seems to remove all of the creator related imports. This happens on both existing projects and new projects. For example, I create a new project and added a button to it. The java file had these imports:
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.AbstractPageBean;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Body;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Form;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Head;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Html;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Link;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Page;
import javax.faces.FacesException;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Button;I then ran Fix Imports and it changed to this:
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.AbstractPageBean;
import java.awt.Button;
import javax.faces.FacesException;Is there any way to fix this or uninstall the latest updates?
Thanks,
Jeff

OK, after some trial and error I think I found a little more about the problem and a better solution. It looks like JSC caches all of the library information for quick access and somehow the file(s) that store the info for com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.* are getting messed up. Instead of deleting the whole 2.0 directory, which will reset all of your data sources and settings, you can just delete the .Creator\2.0\var\cache directory and creator will re-scan all of the libraries and rebuild the cache.
