Can't import mp4

I am trying to add a couple of mp4 clips to a Keynote presentation. This is something I've done in previous versions of Keynote (I'm running 4.03) with no problems. Now when I drag & drop the mp4 into the slide, no box or video appears and on playing it I can hear the sound but only see a blank screen. Any suggestions?

Same problem here. Any fix thus far?

Can iMOVie import MP4 movies?

Can iMOVIE import MP4 formatted movies/

Interesting,
Are you sure your using iMovie10 ?
Just tested (to be absolutely sure) a couple of clips.
Input DV-tape exports as .mp4 (SD and 540P quality)
Input .mp4 exports as .mp4 in HD and .mp4 in SD
Input AVCHD exports as .mp4 as well HD as SD.
iMovie 9 (iLife 11) exports default in .mov (or .m4v when exported to iTunes)

How can I import MP4-files in FCPX?

How can I import MP4-files in FCPX? Should i convert the files? Do you know good (free) software?
Thanks!

MPEG-4 isn't nearly enough information. There are many other factors that determine whether it will work in FCP. Many MPEG-4 files can be imported and optimized directly into the application.

Can't import MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6

Can't import 50Mbps MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6 but I can import it into CC. Any workarounds to get it into CS6?
Another odd thing is that I can import the 50Mbps MOV from the GH4 into CS6 but can't play it using Windows Media Player (for quick review before importing) like I can the MP4. If someone knows how to get the MOV from the GH4 to play with Windows Media Player I'd start using that format instead of the MP4. Odd thing is that the 50Mbps MOV recorded with my GH3 can play in Windows Media Player.

I updated to the latest version CS6 and that solved the MP4 import problem. Still working on the other issue.

Can't import .mp4 or .avi files

I am unable to import .mp4 or .avi files into iMovie. I have iMovie3.0.3. I am able to import .mov files, but not the two listed above. Is this because i have an older version of iMovie or is it just not possible. I am new to using iMovie, but do understand something. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I am sure I didn't get iMovie 4, my powerbook is over 2 years old.

I figured it was just because I have an older version. I've known that I can convert the files in QT Pro, I just do not own it.
I'm probably going to end up getting iLive 05.
Thanks for your help.

Can't import mp4 files

Hello,
suddenly I can't import/open mp4 files with iTunes on my iMac anymore. I have no problem opening them with another application (quicktime) or open other files (mp3) with iTunes on my iMac. On my MacBook I still can open the exact same mp4 files with iTunes (same OS, same updates).
I opened a couple of files in a row. All the sudden iTunes refuses to open them (just the ones I've already imported before still work). Doubleclicking on a mp4 file makes iTunes start, but that's it. No import, no error, just nothing.
Does anyone have a clue what might have happened?

Are they Audio or Video .mp4 files?
Were they created on a Mac or PC?
Have you ever been able to open .mp4 files on these systems before?

FIXED: How Can I Import .MP4 Video? Used to work...

EDIT: Okay, figured it out! Had to run Adobe updater, now I can import .mp4s from YouTube! wooot.
Hi, I was working on some mashups using videos I downloaded from YouTube (.mp4 format) in premiere and everything was going good, but had to reinstall my operating system for other reasons. I re-installed Premiere Pro CS4 too but when I opened up the project I was previously working on, it said I could not re-link to the .mp4 files. It said they were not supported and were different than the ones in the project - they are not.
I noticed that I could no longer properly import .MP4s downloaded from YouTube, only the audio track is imported.
I have had success converting the .mp4s to .movs using QuickTime pro, those .movs work, but if possible I'd like to do away with this step.
Any help is appreciated.
I remember back in the day using Premiere 5.0 in 2003 I could import any format I wanted to do mashups, ahh those were the good old days
Thanks in advanced for any help

>had to reinstall my operating system
The program I use to make a full system backup image is mentioned here http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM#SmartOwn
Make an image while everything is "perfect" and simply restore that image if needed

How can I import mp4 to iMovie 09?

What I'm doing is going to File -> Import -> Movies and clicking on the .mp4 file on my desktop. In iMovie, the loading bar opens for a brief second saying "desktop" with a blank bar, and then it goes away leaving iMovie sitting there as if nothing happened. I've tried free converters but haven't had much luck unfortunately
Also, will I be able to import this to FCP X? I'm very close to buying it, and if I can import mp4 I probably will. I'm not very good at editing, but I feel that I could learn FCP X easier than FCP 7.

I sometimes work in FCE, so the layout is almost identical the old FCP, it is nothing like iMovie learning curve was steep the first week or so. Toughest ones to memorize were the ripple roll, slip, slide tools for me.
The new iMovie got so powerful with filters and CoreVideo, that it kinda beats the purpose of FCE usage for me. But the Live Type app is a joy to play with - the font made out of smoke, fire or popping daisies is exquisite.
The most discouraging thing in FCE or FCP is the amount of time you will spend editing - if you want to do it right and play with it, you will spend days because they have so many powerful options to try and tweak. That was the biggest shocker for me. I find myself resorting to simplicity and speed of iMovie editing. Shoot the vid, run it through iMovie, let it do its thing, share to Apple TV and be done with it. It's simple, yet much faster to work with, if you don't care about making perfect movies. Kids and work leave me no choice, but to edit at night. FCE has become more of a chore than fun for me. If there is anything people underestimate while purchasing this is how dedicated they are to this hobby. Or not.
If you do editing for gigs, then it's a no brainer. iMovie is a toy compared to FCP.
FCPX yes or no? It's your choice, really.

Can't import MP4s into iMove '08

I recorded some videos on my Nokia N95 and wanted to put them into iMovie and export them onto YouTube after some editing, but iMovie won't import my MP4s! Are there any free and painless ways to convert MP4s into more compatible formats for use with iMovie '08?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Oh sorry!! It turns out that when you import movies into iPhoto '08, when you export them they come out as images, instead of movies; how strange!! :S You can view movies in iPhoto but you can't get them out of there, thanks for your help anyways , you can drag and drop movies from iPhoto into iMovie so I'm all sorted now.

Can't import mp4 in FCP 5

hi. i'm ripping a DVD to a file, and i've tried the mp4 format (from handbrake) but FCP 5 won't allow me to import the file. I keep getting a file error.
I've also tried .avi format as well
any ideas?
thanks so much
niko

H.264 is a delivery format and it will not work on a SD DVD... It's a delivery format mainly for the web right now, or for HD DVD's...
You need to edit in a format you can... DV will work on most any machine, and better would be 8 or 10 bit uncompressed, but it takes very fast drives to play it. You'd still be best served to go back to the DVD itself, and use MPEG Streamclip to get to DV or better... choose a standard shooting format, and all will go better in FCP.

Can't Import MP4 Files Into DVD Studio Pro

I'm trying to start a DVD Studio Pro 4 project, and have .mp4 video files. When I import them with the Assets>Import tab, they come in as MP4 audio files only, not movie files. The users manual says the integrated encouder auto encodes Quick Time assets into DVD compliant formats with default Compressor settings ... but that is not happening. The MP4s play fine when I double click and open them in Quick Time Player, or post them on line they work fine in a browser. I'm confused, how do I import them to work in DVD Studio Pro? BTW, I did not create them in FCP, nor do I know how to use Compressor yet. I have MPEG Stream Clip but don't know how it would help. Thanks, Tom, Miami.

Use compressor to convert them to m2v and ac3 files before bringing them into DVDSP.

Can't import mp4 file into iTunes

I have had a lot of success converting my DVDs to mp4s and storing them on external hard drives to play through AppleTV (I love AppleTV!). However I have a couple of files that will not load into iTunes. I get no error message but when I try to open with Quicktime I get an error message saying the file is not a movie file. The files I am having problems with were recorded from cable tv and written to DVD. Please help...

HOCKEY PUCK! Looks like this isn't a solution anyway. Tried it on a 250 MB file with 7 chapter markers and got some very random results.
1) Clipped the previously embeded graphic from the iTunes file and applied the same workflow. This time it did not save the chapter track (just like it does in MPEG Streamclip).
2) A bit confused, I deleted the newly created file and tried again only without clipping the graphic first. This time when I attempted to open the newly created file there was not video track whatsoever.
3) Now I'm getting really confused. So I delete the new "audio" file and load the source file one more time. This time, instead of relying on the the "current default" options (i.e., the ones last used), I open the options window and find the "Pass through" has reset to "None." So I attempt to change it back to "Pass through" and guess what... Now that option is "grayed out" just as you say (and as I believe it used to be in QT v7.1.3).
4) Totally flabbergasted, I close the player and load a secondary file (paired TV episode to the first file) and open the "Movie to MPEG-4" Export option. To my surprise, the audio and video "Pass through" settings are back again. Okay, so this time I decide to "tic" the chapter track to see if that will prevent it's loss. No joy!
Basically, I spend a few more wasted hours trying to figure out why I could not duplicate my original success. I even drag out other applications like SimpleMovieX and MPEG Streamclip which have "Save As..." options to "compatible" containers. Both delete the chapter track just as QT Pro is currently doing. Suffice it to say I'm growing angrier by the moment and finally decide to quit so I can update the latest results here. Sorry everyone... Really thought the latest QT upgrade had someting going for itself here. Looks like I merely "jumped the gun" instead.
