Can I import video directly form my UVC camera?

That depends on what you mean by import.
You can't capture it live in Premiere Pro.
You can, if you save it to a supported format, import it into Premiere Pro and edit it. So it depends on the softqare you use to capture it.

Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

Can't import video (.mov) from Coolpix P100 camera to iPhoto

I can't import any .mov files from my Coolpix p100 camera to iPhoto (iPhoto '08, version 7.1.5) Mac OS X 10.4.11. I can import pictures no problem when I use a firewire connection from the camera to my iBook G4. This is the message I get:
Unreadable files.
The following file could not be imported. (The import failed)
DSCN0573.MOV
For example, I can see the .mov file under "Information" before I try to import. It says it is a QuickTime movie, 274 MB. I can watch it on my camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a chance the .mov file could be imported via some
third party (free ware) video software into the Mac, such as
VLC or a shareware video utility; perhaps Snapz ProX?
Another idea may be to see if the iMovie software would do it.
This topic has come up several years ago, and depending on
the model or brand of camera in some cases, different paths
were taken to get the product and files to work.
In a few cases, some proprietary software provided limited
support for a camera's feature set; some didn't work for Mac.
When the camera creates a hybrid image file, and their own
software was not available in a Mac format, another may be
available to provide the missing link.
There may be some third-party plug-ins that may allow the
QuickTime you have, to open and view the .mov files; not
sure what exact ones would qualify, however, to do it.
With my cameras, which can create .mov files, I have not
experimented with them; as both are essentially still image
cameras and know the results wouldn't suit my projects.
Hopefully one of the video player software products can help.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can somebody help me? Can't import videos that are already on my hard drive

i'm not the most technologically adept person. When it comes to iTunes, i plain stupid.
for some reason i can't import videos on my hard drive.
they are set to open in iTunes and if i double click on them, iTunes comes up and switches to the video screen, but it does not show the name in the list or play the video or anything. It's driving me nuts. Especially since i was considering buying an iPod video in the near future. But theres no point in even bothering if i can't get the videos into iTunes!!! If you know how to help my situtation or have any good tips let me know!!

You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

Can you import video from a DVD? If so how

Can you import video from a DVD? I have some home DVD's made on my PC. My PC program (Roxio) allowed me to pull clips off of a DVD, but I can not seem to figure out how to do it with iMovie on my Mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi, I'll see if I can help. The only way I know of importing directly from iMovie off of a DVD is with a converter box hooked up to an external DVD player. However there are a few freeware programs you could try. One is Handbrake, with it you can convert your DVD into a MPEG-4 file, this is incredibly easy however the quality will be a little lower than that of a DVD. Another program is MactheRipper which will rip the entire DVD onto your hard drive but you will have to hunt through all the files to find the ones you want. I hope this helps.

Importing video directly from camera

When I import video, I just connect my camera, import directly, and set the store it on an external drive. Is that the best way, or should I first put the videos on the external drive, and then import them? I will use my pictures in other applications, like Aperture.
B

Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself. Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files. Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.

Can't import video (.mp4) to itunes 10.5, pls help

I can't import video (.mp4 & .mov) to itunes 10.5.2.11 (can't both drag & down and add file to library).
I searched many ways to solve in google with myself , but still not work
Pls help -.-"

MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

Can't import video from iPhoto or memory card

I just upgraded to iLife'11 but now I can't seem to import my videos from iPhoto. Before, I could download stills and videos to iPhoto (via card reader) and iMovie would automatically import them. Now I can still import video into iPhoto but then can't figure out how to move them into iMovie. Any suggestions?

I get a message saying "the file is and unrecognized format."
It's just a jpeg!!!!
What is the color profile?
Will they open in preview?

Can't import videos from Sony A55

I can't import videos from Sony A55. Anybody can?

Fellows,
I have an A55 as well and iMovie 8.0.6 and can not import the AVHD movies. When I look into my Kingston SD card I get a directory with 5 folders, AVF_INFO, DCIM, MISC, MP_ROOT, and private. In private there is a folder called AVCHD, in which there are 3 folders, AVCHDTN, BDMV, AND IISVPL. In BDMV there is 3 folders and two files. The folders are CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, and STREAM. In STREAM there are the .MTS files. I have tried importing them, importing STREAM, and importing BDMV, all without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong, do I need the new iMovie, any other ideas ?
Thank you
Bruce Bodner
