Can't import Nikon video into Lightroom 5

I just noticed that I can no longer import .MOV files from my Nikon D800 into Lightroom 5. I am running on Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro, LIghtroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1. I plug the camera into the USB port of my macbook pro (don't have a SD slot on my macbook pro)
When I click import in Lightroom the .MOV files don't even show up at all in the import dialog.
When I tried to import video from my iPhone 5, they showed up on the import screen and I was able to succesfully import them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The camera does show up on the import dialog box when the camera is connected.
Photographs taken just before and after the video show up in the import window, just not the videos.
The camera has both an SD card and a compact flash card. The images and video were saved to the compact flash card. To be safe I took the SD card out of the camera, the camera LCD display can still show the images and video on the camera display, but in lightroom 5 I only see the still images not the video in the import window.
Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Do you have Lightroom 5.3 or higher?
Did you use Nikon software at any point on these photos?

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

imovie09 copies videos but doesn't import. how can I import my videos into imovie?

Can you tell us what you actually mean by "iMovie09 copies videos but doesn't import"?
If you have got your video into iMovie then it has imported it.Are you able to see your video in the Event Browser?

Can't import iphoto library into Lightroom

Lightroom does not appear to recognise my pics in the Mac iphoto library. I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
Do I have to change some preferences or something?

I recently changed my pc for a mac and all my old photo files were transferred across into iphoto and any new photos from my camera were imported straight into iphoto. I have since started a course where we use Lightroom but find I can't import any photos stored in iphoto into Lightroom. iphoto is always "shaded out" in the list when I try to import into Lightroom.
What do you suggest I do in order to import these photos into Lightroom?

I can't import a video into a specific album in iPhoto

I recently imported a set of 14 photos and 1 video into iphoto. I got them all into the album i wanted except for 1 video. This single video can be imported to any other folder other than the one i want it to be.

Just drag the video into the event you want. But better yet post iPhoto problems in the iPhoto forum.

Can't Import mp4 video into itunes for my ipod

I have tried to get video onto my ipod but itunes wont let me import video. I have quicktime 7 pro and have exported my video to ipod and to mpeg-4 and i can't import it into itunes to get it on my ipod.
Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

Did you try just to drag&drop the video onto "Library" in iTunes' left "Source"-column?

Can't import IPhoto video into IMovie

I imported a video clip into IPhoto '08 from a Casio camera -- came out in .MOV format. CAN'T import it into IMovie '08 and can't "save-as" into any other format (figuring that might help??). Help?

I exported my lessons video clips as MPEG4, Default Settings and I am able to see the mp4 files in iMovie, even though they look like crap compared to the originals are now 4:3 instead of 16:9.
Then don't use the default settings. Set dimension and frame rate to "current" setting used in original file. Set video data rate to same data rate as original source file. Set audio for 64 Kbps/channel at 44.1 KHz sampling rate or 80 Kbps/channel at 48.0 KHz sampling rate. If you're really having problems, simply export to iPod or TV presets.
Shouldn't DV files work in iMovie? The source files are .mov with DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec. Isn't that one of iMovie's supported codecs?
As I previously stated, I would normally expect a DV file to be compatible. A DV stream file contains DV video with DV audio and should be iMovie '08 compatible. Since you keep saying the DV (video) is in an MOV file container, I keep telling you that an MOV file container may contain any "valid" audio compression format and not just ones that are iMovie '08 import/edit compatible. So once again, I am reminding you to check your MOV file audio compression format to be sure it is iMovie '08 compatible. If it is, then check to see if it contains an incompatible data track. For instance, iPhoto slideshows are not iMovie '08 import compatible because they contain a "Tween" track. If your "tutorial" files also contain a "Tween" track, they will not import either.
I just tried the Save Movie as Quicktime Movie again. It saved out using H.264, but iMovie won't recognize it.
One more time... H.264 is a video compression format. What audio compression format did you use?
It seems like MP4 is the ONLY codec I can get iMovie to recognize when importing movie files. That can't be right, can it?
It probably isn't. We are rapidly reaching a point where it would be much easier to tell what is going on if you you would simply trim a snippet from one of your problem files and either e-mail it to me or post it to a server for downloading and examination.

How can I import RW2 files into Lightroom 4?Also why can`t I see jpgs related to the same RW2 files?

I tried ti import my RW2 camera (Lumix) raw files into Lightroom 4.4 and simply couldn`t do it. Also I had jpgs in the same folder and Lightroom didn`t bring them in at all.
What can I do? Is there any ways or settings? Does Lightroom 5 see RW2?
Thanks

What Jim said.
Either:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5 then open the RW2 files in LR5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all RW2 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

Can't import iPhoto videos into iMovie'11

Hi
I just discovered that i can no longer see any iPhoto videos in iMovie. I upprgaded to iLife'11 and to Lion. Not sure when the problem occured for the first time, i.e. at what upgrade.
iMovie does ask if i want to import iPhoto thumbnails, i select NOW but then when i got ot the event folder and select iPhoto Videos iMovie locks up with the beacjh ball, i go to Force Quit and it tells me iMovie not responding so I have to force quit. All highly annoying as I have video in iPhoto i want to edit and put together etc.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Alright, sounds like a re-install of iMovie is in order, try ths:
Go to Mac HD > Library > Receipts > (look for iMovie.pkg) and move that to the desktop.
Got to Mac HD > Applications > iMovie.app (move that also to the Desktop
We're going to trick the Mac into thinking you haven't installed iMovie yet.
Reboot the Mac.
Now go to the AppStore icon and launch that while holding down the Option key, when it comes up go to Purchases. With any luck it will let you re-download the iMovie installer and run the installer one more time.
After you run the install, reboot the Mac and hold down the Option key again. Choose the Recovery drive. And run disk utility>Repair Disk Permissions from within the Recover drive (instead of running it from the Utilities folder). When it finishes Repairing Permissions, reboot one more time.
Try launching iMovie and see if it can find the iPhoto Videos.
Plists are where all the preferences get written so for iMovie to locate where iPhoto Library is kept it needs to read that from somewheres. Therefore it gets written in the preferences, along with the locations of the videos inside iPhoto, the names of those videos, etc. That way iMovie can just look it up without you having to launch iPhoto to find the videos.

Can't Import PlayClaw5 videos into CS5.5 on Mac

Hello everyone. My friend and I have begun using Premiere Pro: He is using CC, and I'm using CS5.5. He uses PlayClaw5 to record his videos, which records in an .AVI format. HE can open in in his Premiere Pro, but when I do it for me, it says that the File format ISN'T supported. Not "There are codecs missing" or "This is the wrong type of AVI file", just Not supported. I've read all over the internet, installing codec left and right, trying to get it to work. I'm running Mac by the way, so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, I thought about re-encoding the videos into mp4 through the Media Encoder, but that doesn't support it either. I've tried NUMEROUS video converters, but it makes the resolution all wonky. (It's pretty wonky to begin with at 1920x1018 with a 1.886 pixel aspect ratio). So, I'm hoping someone has an answer here. Help?

Exactly what is inside the video?

Need help: Can't import old video into Final Cut Pro X or iMovie

I am trying to import some footage from my old camcorder into my iMac.
I have a Sony DVMC-DA1 connected via firewire. The setup works great in iChat. We were able to video chat to my wife's computer and she could see and hear the camcorder footage. iMovie does not recognize the device at all. Final Cut Pro recognizes it. It appears in the Camera Import window, but when I try to import some footage, nothing gets recorded. Oddly, there are two time counters in the import window. The one on the left increments as the footage 'imports' but the one on the right stays at zero.
My iMac is the newest 2011 model and I am using the latest versions of iMovie and FCPX.
How do I get either iMovie or FCPX to import my footage from the DVMC-DA1?

This guy did a tutorial for 2 free ways of importing video over FW:

They both should accept any video over FW. The link for Vidi is old, here's where to find it: http://www.mitzpettel.com/

Help! can't import any video into Imovie 08!

I hope some nice Mac user will help me, please. I am trying to import anything into IMovie and no version is working. I started with vob files-- (precious home movies that were put on DVD), converted them to .mov and then even bought a Mac converter for $40 and now have avi and Mp4 versions. When I try to import, IMovie sees the files, but they are gray and can't be clicked on! Its so frustrating, I have been trying many different things on two different Mac's for three days now! I may have to, in desperation, do this project on a PC at work after hours. hope its something simple, thanks nice Mac users (I am a newbie)

Can't import MPEG4 video into iDVD 5

I am trying to create a DVD using MPEG4 video that I downloaded
from iTunes. (I need to create a DVD of the Wonderpets TV show
for my son for Christmas.) iDVD 5 doesn't recognize it, nor does
iMovie HD 5, nor does Toast Titanium. I am assuming that either
there is some copy protection issue, or that I must upgrade iLife 05
to iLife 06. I would gladly upgrade to 06 if I was guaranteed that
it solve this, but there is no such info on the Apple site that offers
06 as a solution. The other problem is that iLife is not available as
a download, and if I need to purchase it I'll have to run out on
Christmas Eve to get it. I can image what fun traffic I'll run into.
Any solid info on this subject would be of greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated.
I would have preferred a little warning on the site when I purchased the 10 episodes. Now I'll have to go to the Apple Store and buy an Apple Video Adaptor on Christmas Eve to play iTunes on my TV. The Apple Store is conveniently located in the Galleria, the busiest mall around... Happy Holidays
