AVCHD-Import FCE under OS X 10.8.2

AVCHD-Import of Final Cut Express 4 doesn't work under OS X 10.8.2 anymore.
And the update for FCE (4.0.1) isn't available anymore. Can anybody help?

Lion and Mountian Lion are not supported by Apple using FCE.
Users have varying results form not working to a few quirks but in the end you are on your own to deal with issues.
Last time I checked the 4.0.1 update was available??
Double check FCE is at the top level of your system Applications folder.
Have you tried trashing the FCE Preference files?

Panasonic HMC70P AVCHD import problem

I searched through the forum and found loads of problems importing AVCHD into FCE which is rather disconcerting.
I have a brand new Panasonic HMC70P AVCHD. I tried to import using Log and Transfer. All the scenes on the SDHC card appeared nicely on the top portion of this window. When I dragged a scene down to the lower portion to start the transfer, it lasted a few second then stop, the status shows "error: no data" and the imported scene was not usable.
The same scenes can be imported to iMovie without any problem.
Can any one help?

Sorry, I searched the forum but I don't think I found the one you are referring to. Can you give me a link?
I tried to either import directly from the SDHC card or download first to hard drive but both failed. I used Log and Transfer and drag the clip to the bottom part of the window. The transfer seemed to be starting but no progress in the progress bar and it stopped in a few second. Then the status became "error: no data". This is a Dual Quad Cord Intel Xeon. The hard drive is the one that came with the computer, formated as Mac OS Extended.
The SDHC card was connected thru a reader.

Hi Bharat,
As per New MDM Release we have to Install MDM 7.1 servers on 64 bit machine and GUI's can be installed on 32 machine, whreas if you are using MDM 5.5 Version then 32 bit machine can be used.
Now as you said that you have sucessfully imported the excel file and then you have mapped the filed after that without any error you got the ready to import screen to import the data into MDM database then processwise there is no problem as far as screens are concern i will suggest you please un-install MDM Import Manager GUI and then again install it, your problem would be solved.
If it doesnt please do let us know.
Thanks and Regards

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

How to import POI under JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0

How to import POI under JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0

First, you have to get an import license for your country to be able to import plant material; this is usually to prevent disease to any native species. I'm not sure if you can import prepared [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_(food)]poi directly, as I think it would probably ferment.
Or, perhaps you meant [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postorgasmic_illness_syndrome]Postorgasmic Illness Syndrome (I didn't make this up - Wikipedia gave it as a disambiguation for POI :) ), in which case, I cannot fathom how you could get that from JDeveloper - if you in fact do, then you are enjoying JDeveloper way too much.
If you weren't talking about those types of POI, but perhaps Apache POI (it would have helped if you gave some reasonable information), what you need to do is to get the JAR file(s) for Apache POI and create a library definition in JDeveloper (either Tools->Manage Libraries or double-click the project and create a project-based library definition) and add the JAR's to that library's classpath. Edit: if you create the library via tools->manage libraries, you also need to double-click the project and add a reference to that library to your project.

How do i delete "All Imported" pictures under "Album" under Photo App in iPad 2?

hi, i now have many photos in the All Imported folder under Album in Photo App in my iPad 2. I don't seem to have a way either in Ipad 2 or in iTunes to DELETE / REMOVE these pictures?
can someone let me know how?

Yes, delete all the apps currently in iTunes, then transfer all the apps currently on the iPad back into iTunes. Of course it will take some time to sync the apps back into iTunes, but it satisfies your desire to remove all apps from iTunes that are not on your iPad without the need to laboriously note what is and is not there. In fact as a bonus after removing all the apps from iTunes you could open the ..\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder and delete any remaining orphaned files that might still be there, before you transfer purchases.

Macbook - AVCHD import - External disc drive - Import error

Whilst attempting to import any AVCHD clip, I always receive a message informing me there has been an error during import and to check video carefully. Afterwards no imported video images are visible in the events list. i.e. the 'title' is there but no image(s). i.e. it looks like that the final part of the process which creates the small quicktime files has failed.
Now here's the interesting thing, this ONLY occurs when I am attempting to capture the video on my external 1Tb Iomega UltraMax disc drive.
It does not matter if I attempt the import as 'full' 1080i or the 1/4 sized 'reduced' import - both fail. Its just as if the processed output cannot be written fast enough. The import times are circa 4* the length of the clip.
When I however do the import to the built-in drive on the Mac, it works perfectly. Import time to the built-in drive is twice the clip length.
It does not matter if I attach the external drive by USB or firewire (though the latter appears to be slightly faster), both fail with the import. N.B. The drive is MAC formatted.
I have a 1 year old Intel Macbook (2Ghz & 2Gb, 120 Mb disc drive) with the latest version of Leopard and everything fully patched.
Has any one got any thoughts or solutions to this please?

Hi folks and special thanks to those whom put forward suggestions.
As mentioned in my original post, the external Iomega Ultramax 1Tb drive is MAC formatted, (and journaled).
One consideration was wether journaling was significantly slowing performance, but according to everything I read, there is little impact.
I took an old 60gb laptop drive and installed it into an external USB2 drive box and formatted as a MAC journaled drive. I then did an AVCHD import using iMovie 08 and all worked fine. I also carefully timed the import and the particular clip took exactly 59 seconds.
I deleted the import, rebooted, formatted the drive as a MAC NON journaled drive and did the same import. A worked fine and it took a fraction over 57 seconds. i.e. the overhead was just a few percent for journaling.
At this point it seemed to prove that something was very odd indeed going on with the Iomega Ultramax drive. This drive is used for time machine backups and time machine had never informed me of any inability to write to the disc.
Using the built-in Mac OSX disk utilities I ran a 'verify' on the drive. Guess what... it came-up with a number of errors including bad structures. I then ran a 'repair'. Unfortunately it was unable to resolve the the faults and I ended-up having to reformat the Iomega drive, as a MAC journaled device.
Tried a new AVCHD import to the Iomega Ultramax and it worked fine. In fact I later tried running Time machine (which was now doing a complete first time backup of my Macbook) _at the same time_ as an AVCHD import of many clips to the SAME drive. All worked absolutely fine.
For those interested in such things, memory usage during an AVCHD import was about 650Mb out of 2Gb RAM and processor usage (Intel dual core) was about 74% in each core.

Problem with using the import tool under User Admin role

Hello,
I have created a role through the import facility under the User Admin role:
[role]
ridpcd:portal_content/content....
rdesc=my role
Although I have recieved a successful message I couldn't locate this role, not when I was searching it in User Admin or under the pcd location where I asked to create it.
I then imported a transport package from another portal that contains a role in the exact same pcd location, this time an actual role has been created.
The problem is that when I try to use the import facility again to assign a group to this role I get: Error: Role found, but unique name "pcd:portal_content/..." is not unique!
When I search User admin for this role I get only one and when I go to this pcd location I only see one role so I don't understand this message and how can a unique pcd location cannot be not unique.
Any ideas...?

Try performing the import again, but this time do not use the fully qualified pcd path. Just specify the rid without the pcd definition. In otherword if you did a search in the user admin for the role ID you would not use the full pcd:rid just the rid value.
The alternative is to first delete the role and then import again. The reason you are gettign the problem is that the pcd generates a unique sid entry for the role and thus the manner in which you are performing the update using the full pcd path is not allowed. For this reason drop the fully qualified pcd path.

FCE 4.0 And AVCHD Importing

I have been using FCE 4.0 for a long time and recently have tried to give Final Cut Pro a shot. As increduous as this sounds I have been told that one cannot insert text at random or titles other than (with respect to the former) what are in the provided templates. I can't see that as bening anything I should pursue unless it is errorneous informaton.
Note that the Canon R42 is USB with no provision for FW.
OS is OS-X 10.8.4 on a Mac Mini.
Having said that, I have a Canon R42 Camcorder and I was wondering how one imports footage into FCE 4? Prior to that I used a Sony that did not support AVCHD.
Also, are there any compatability issues between FCE 4 and the Canon R42?
Many thanks!
Ron

Below are the formats the camera shoots and most won't work directly with FCE.
This one should: 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps (24Mbps) Make sure the corresponding FCE Easy Setup is selected before starting a new Project.
FCE works only with interlaced with AVCHD 1920 x 1080.
BTW: I've used FCP X since it's release and titles are no problem. Most users are trying to work the same as legacy FCE/Pro and that's where they come to greif.
You can always ask for details on that forum.

Which Imports Faster HDV or AVCHD in FCE and iMovie?

I'm planning on getting my first HD camcorder and I'm leaning towards the HV-20 or HG-10. I'm leaning towards the HV-20 HDV. Tapes are cheap and a good archive medium and I'm leery of small hard drives being robust. Do AVCHD camcorders use similar drives as the iPod?
I've read AVCHD takes some time to import. Does HDV import faster to AIC?
Does FCE 4 import faster than iMovie 8 for both formats?
Thanks for any advice.
Kelvin

Import speed depends on your computer, but I think the the AVCHD and the HDV transcoding is about the same. It's all being done by QuickTime. AVCHD transfer gives you more options in terms of selecting clips and portions of clip, which is more difficult to do manually off tape. But, as you said, tape is cheap and a good archive medium.

FCE and AVCHD import now stutters in playback/editing

I just converted to Canon M40 HD cameras, and started editing my first wedding using these cameras. If I have two or more tracks of video, and play them back, the video stutters like the computer can't keep up with the data traffic.
I am using FCE 4.x, an external USB drive for the clips, on a new iMac 27". The USB drive is 7200 rpm.
I never had this problem with standard def DV clips from my previous cameras, so I'm thinking it has to do with the HD.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Let me try to be more specific. I imported the files from my Canon m40 camera using the Log and Transfer function in FCE. I am NOT trying to edit native AVCHD files, they are AIC encoded files.
When I play back one track of video, there is no problem. I am attempting to edit a wedding we shot this past weekend, using 3 camera angles of the ceremony. When I synch the three camera files for the ceremony, if the top (3rd) track of video is 100% visible, it plays back fine. If the top track is less than 100% visible, I get the stutter effect. if the top track is 0% visible, and the 2nd track is 100 % visible, I get the stutter. If the 3rd and 2nd track are 0% visible, and only the 1st track is 100% visible, I get the stutter.
If I only have 2 video tracks, and the 2nd track is anything less than 100% visible, I get the stutter.
So, it appears to me that the computer can't keep up with attempting to play 2 tracks of video concurrently. THIS is where I am having my problem.
Any suggestions?

AVCHD import of moving clips very jumpy, not when done via FCE or Voltaic

Hi all,
I have a problem when importing clips from my AVCHD cam (a Sony HDR-SR7E) into iMovie 08. When the clips I am importing are of moving objects, or sweeping over a scenery, the imported clip are sometimes extremely jumpy. Like if ist was taken with a frame rate of 1 or 2 fps. It doesn't matter if I choose Large or Full quality, the result is always the same using the specific clips, and impossible to use in an edited movie. And it is not a playback problem, my CPU meters are only up to about 1/4.
If, however, I import the clips into .mov format using another program, like Final Cut Express 4 or Voltaic, then importing it into iMovie 08 using File -> Import Movies the quality is excellent! Nice result/fps with both Large and Full quality/conversion settings. Strange isn't it.. ? So it seems like the import process (and not the converting into 540 resolution if that is done) is doing something wrong in iMovie 08?
I do have some third party codecs installed, like xvid and possibly divx, but not Perian (that I have read has been causing some problems before).
Has anyone else noticed this problem? What is Voltaic and FCE doing in the import process that iMovie 08 is unable to?
Thanks,
Henrik
