Can FCP import the files from an HD DVD in to the FCP timeline?

This way, I could then convert to AVHCH formatt for BluRay?
Yes?
THanks,
Brian

convert to the AVCHD format...
Why would you want to do that? AVCHD is based on MPEG4, which is not an editing format.
For a list of formats that are compatible, see the Easy Setup menu in Final Cut Pro.

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap

or
Magic Bullet Grinder

But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have been in the latest update, 4.02.
In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
While I can't say for sure Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.

And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Can I import .MTS files from an external hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

Luis,
Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
What model of Kodak is it?
There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
Hope that helps.

Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit. LR says there are no other updates to install. Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen. I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in. It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly. What am I missing? All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

Can't import big files from my camera to the laptop

hey guys.
i take movies with my digital camera, and so far all the movies shorter than 3 minutes long import without a problem, but anything above 5 minutes just refuses to get imported into iphoto. the "importing screen" will show, but after a long time it will just end and the movie will stay in the camera.
because i can't "see" the camera in Finder, there's no way to access the long movie files on the macbook.
anyone have any ideas?
thanks.
Ronny.

well one way of taking out the large file is to read the camera like a hard drive, and mounting it to the desktop. this is done by changing the transfer settings in the camera itself, so that it reads like a SD card reader.

How can I import AVCHD files from my hard drive?

- How can I work with .mts files from my Sony camera that I dragged from the camera to a folder on my computer. If I understand it well, if I import the files with a Log and Transfer, they will be converted to another format.
- do they lose quality with the Log and Transfer conversion?
I want to erase my sony camera hard disk but do not want to lose the original files, that is why I ask.

Hi -
In order to use the files from your camera easily (without 3rd party software) you need to not only drag the mts files, but the ENTIRE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE of the camera storage to your hard disk drive. Many people find it most convenient to use Disk Utility to make a disk image of the camera storage media, and keep the disk image on their hard disk, available for re-use at any time.
The additional folders that are present on the camera storage give necessary and valuable information to Final Cut as to how to "unpack" the extremely compressed video files. Without these files as guides and instructions, it becomes a much more difficult process.

I can't import image files from my camera to Photoshop Elements

My iMac recognizes my camera (a Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph). I know this because it automatically starts iPhoto and loads the images. The problem is, I am sick and tired of iPhoto, and I want to use Photoshop Elements instead. When I connect the camera to the iMac (via a USB port), I do NOT get a camera icon signifying a new volume or drive on my desktop. So when I open Photoshop 4.0, I can't find the files to import. I could allow the computer to import automatically into the iPhoto library, then manually drag the image files into a different directory for use by PSE, but that seems way too complicated. Why should I have to do that? Please help if you can.
John

I'm using OS X 10.4.11.
Maybe I didn't explain it very well. Let me try again:
I would like to be able to connect my camera to the USB port of the iMac, turn on the camera, and then view the images from the camera memory on the screen using Bridge (the subroutine for file management in Photoshop Elements). I have not been able to do that.
Instead, my iMac immediately displays the camera images by opening iPhoto. There is no option in iPhoto for importing the images to anything other than the iPhoto library. So I have to go find them there, copy them into the directory were I want them, and then erase them from the library (which is a little tricky by itself). Then I can manage them in Elements/Bridge.
I thought when I bought Photoshop Elements that I would be able to open it and then tell it to import the images from my camera, into a directory of my choosing. That would be less error-prone and a lot less work.

Can't import XMP-Files from Bilora/Jobo Geotagger in Aperture 3.0.1

Hello,
now I use Aperture 3.0.1 and have buy the Bilora Geotagger with the Photo GPS Software from Jobo.
But when I import the RAW-pictures in Aperture, Aperture says, can't read some files, that means the XMP Files. When I look in a editor in the XMP-files, they are version 1.0, I think they must works.
What can I do, or is this a bug in PhotoGPS or Aperture?
Regards Ulrich

The solution to that problem was that the problem is Windows 7, and that iTunes and Quicktime are required to get audio to work.
As I listed in the first post, I have a mac (running off of the mac OS), and both iTunes and Quicktime already. So, that answer from that forum doesn't help.
I downloaded the sample thing successfully and ran it. So, there's still something wrong.
Thanks for the effort, though.

How can I import raw files from nikon d810 to elements 12

How ca raw files be imported into elements from a nikon d810

If the images are in iPhoto for iOS use the Share to iTunes feature. Then connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with, open iTunes, select your iPad in the left column of iTunes and in the right column select General. Ten scroll down to find the File Sharing area and select iPhoto. You will see a pane where your photos are listed and you can copy them to your computer. I'm not completely sure the copies will be RAW files but at least you have saved a version of the photos.
I use my iPad to review, display and post photos but I use my computer to actually process RAW files. While I often connect my camera to my iPad to transfer photos I never delete them from the card and ill eventually copy them to more than one hard drive.

Can't import .jpg files from iPhoto Library

What is the meaning of the error message I invariably get when attempting to import a photo file? It goes like this:
"The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh HD/Users/alex/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2006/20060415 To Aigina with grandad and grandma/DSC04837.JPG” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048"
Many thanks, people.

One more thing: I went into iPhoto's preferences, in Advanced, and checked the first option (Importing: Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library). I then added one photo to the library.
Then, from iMovie, I selected that newly added photo and bam! it was in! So, I guess, iMovie can't handle correctly iPhoto Library photos if they have not been copied into the iPhoto Library folder structure, correct? Is that what the expected behavior of iMovie HD should be? or a bug to be addressed in future upgrades?
Many thanks, as always.

Can't import .mov file from iphoto

Can anyone tell me why I can't import an .mov file into imovie from iphoto. The help manual says I should be able to but. when I try, the .mov files on the import window are greyed out and not selectable. I thought imovie played this type of file.

MOV files are compatible with iMovie '08 if, and only if, both the audio and video compression formats are "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 and the MOV file container does not contain incompatible extraneous tracks (e.g. a "Tween" track). Kodak, for instance, stores its video clips as MPEG-4 video (compatible with iMovie '08) and µ-Law 2:1 compressed audio (which is not). In this case, all you would need to do would be to convert the µ-Law compressed audio to a compatible compression format like AAC (MPEG-4 audio). Another example would be a slideshow made in iPhoto. In this case a "Tween" track is used to transition between slides but is never removed once the transition is applied and results are re-saved in the MOV container. If you delete or strip out this track, the file then becomes compatible with iMovie '08.
