Can't import P2 Footage after 5.1.2 update

This one has me stumped. After updating to 5.1.2 I can not import P2 footage.
When I click on the import Panasonic P2 tab under the import menu, nothing happens. Then, I click on it one more time and the import window loads but there is nothing there (I see the dividing lines but there is no text or buttons to click...just a solid grey background).
Tried the usual...trashed prefs, rebuilt permissions, downloaded the full FCP update off of the apple website and re-installed.
Also pulled all my plug-ins out just in case it was somehow related to that issue.
Still nothing.
Also, searched this form, creative cow and HVXUSER...no one else seems to have this issue.
Any thing I am missing?

Same problem here on two different G5 machines after installing 5.1.2. Love the new import tool - but 10-20% of our clips just won't import anymore. Done all the recommended clean-ups and like many others on this forum and CreativeCow...it just won't work on some 24PN clips.
Getting desperate as we have daily shows that go out and need to get the rest of those clips in so I'm looking for any workarounds at this point and hoping Apple has a fix soon. This is clearly related to 5.1.2 as the same clips were previously imported in 5.1.1 and are readable in the P2 viewer and even playable in the 5.1.2 P2 import window.

  • How can I import XDCAM footage from files that have been taken off the card?

    Hi,
    I am trying to log and transfer footage that has been taken off SxS cards and put onto an external hard drive. I've downloaded the Sony plug-ins for my computer, but still can't import anything in Log and Transfer. Can anyone help?

    Was THE ENTIRE CARD backed up?  Everything?  The full card structure?  If not, then FCP won't see it...it'll say the directory structure is invalid.  IN that case you might need to use the XDCAM TRANSFER UTILITY...separate app that can transcode the footage to QT FCP can use.

  • CS3 - Can I Import AVCHD footage into Premiere and if so, how ?

    Hello All;
    Can you tell me if I can Import AVCHD footage (Like from a Panasonic Professional Camcorder) into Premiere CS3 ? My version doesn't recognize the .MTS files that the camcorder generates. If there is any way to import AVCHD footage, could you tell me how ? Thanks.

  • How can I import .mov footage with original pixel aspect ratio?

    So the footage is 720x480 Square Pixels (1.0), 29.97 fps, progressive .mov but when I import it into Premiere Pro, they come up compressed as D1/DV NTSC (0.9091) automatically. When I try to Interpret Footage, it simply adds black bars. Why can't it just import correctly? When I preview the original footage, it plays back correctly but the preview inside Premiere Pro shows the distorted version... Please and thank you!!!

    The suggestion about "new item" above was short. Here's the "full" version. In the Project Panel, go to the lower right corner ... click on the "New Item" Icon ... as shown here:
    The first item on the pop-up menu that will appear should be "Sequence" ... click on it and just say ok at the next screen without even reading it. It's irrelevant, really.
    Then going back to your project panel (we assume you've already imported your footage into it) click & drag a clip from the proj. panel to the timeline, or move one from the "Source monitor" to the timeline ... you should get a pop-up asking if you want the timeline changed to your footage, or your footage changed to the timeline. Take the timeline/sequence settings changed to match footage, and go.
    That SHOULD take care of the problem in the vast majority of cases. It is such a simple fix, and so often the easiest and "correctist", that it's worth a try. Navigating the choices of setting up sequences is best left for those people who say, study GPU algorithms for a couple hours before going to bed for the sheer exhilaration of it ... unless, of course, PrPro actuall does a face-plant with your footage. But it mostly works good at it ... once you just let it ... so you might give that a try, takes what ... 20 seconds to see if it works?

  • Can't load pdf files after 10.4.11 update

    Since installing the 4.10.11 update I can't read any more the pdf files downloaded in Safari 3 as the page turns completely gray (I can read pdf files only after downloading them to the desktop). I have browsed the 4.10.11 troubles and answers hoping to find a cue, but nothing of the like seems to have happened yet...
    Is there something that I can do ?
    Thank you for any help !

    Have got exactly the same problem with Safari, but fine using Internet Explorer. Had a quick look on Adobe's update page - seems they only go up to 10.4.10... that may be problem???

  • I can't import P2 footage

    I have an old project that needs some changes. The footage I need to add was never imported the first time around. When I go to the log and transfer window, I can't add the P2 folder for this project, or any project for that matter.
    I'm using FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.3.1
    Any suggestions?

  • Can't import AVCHD footage from my canon HG10 camcorder

    I have a Canon HG10 that shoots AVCHD high def footage. I've always gotten it to import footage into final cut pro 7 and iMovie (before switching to osx lion) Now that I have final cut pro X, I try to add the camcorders files into the import bin and it gives me an error saying the following:
    "AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure.
    Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    I tried the "log and transfer" in the old previous version of final cut pro (which always worked for me before installing lion) and it also gives me an error. Same thing with iMovie now.
    Is there some way I can get this to import into final cut pro X? If not, is there any other 3rd party transfer program or any other solution to get my footage onto my hard drive to edit in final cut pro X?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Okay, so I made a disk image of my camcorders hard drive. I mounted the image and tried importing the archive. It still does the same thing. Let me also clarify one thing. Only when I click on any folder contained in the image does it give me the error message:
    "AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure.
    Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    When I click on the actually disk "CANON_HDD" it appears in the import window for a half second before dissapearing. Sorry, I didn't mention this earlier. Can anyone please give me a solution for this?

  • How can I import DVD footage in Final Cut Pro X

    I want to edit a showreel of my own work in Final Cut Pro X (version 10.1.4). A lot of my old footage is only available on DVD. I need to get this footage into Final Cut Pro X but don't know how to do this. There are programs to convert DVD to DV but I don't know which one to use, and how to use them.

    The script provided by MPEG Streamclip worked for me.
    But there is an alternate way, which is basically doing by hand what the script does.
    The actual component that is needed is stored inside an archive file in the inside the package. This file needs to be copied to a place where the system can see it.
    Here are detailed instructions. Be sure you fully understand before putting any files in the Library folders, as described below. No guarantees, but if followed correctly I believe this works.
    1) Double-click the .dmg file.
    2) Inside there are two folders. Open the one that says "For Quicktime 6.4 or later..."
    3) Control-click the QuickTimeMPEG32.pkg and choose "Show Package Contents".
    4) Copy the file "Archive.pax.gz" somewhere else on your mac - I will use the Desktop as an example.
    5) Double click the copy of "Archive.pax.gz" on your desktop. It will expand and create a folder on the desktop called "System".
    6) Inside the folder called "System" is a folder "Library" and then "Quicktime", with a single file called "QuickTimeMPEG2.component".
    This is the file that MPEG Streamclip needs!
    7) I suggest you place this file in your own user's Library. To do this, hold down the option key and select Library from the Go menu in the Finder. There, if it does not exist already, create a folder "QuickTime" and copy the component there. This should work.
    Note: the script actually places the component in a different location - one which I think should not be messed with (inside /System/Library).
    I think it should work in the user's Library, but if not I would put in /Library (the Library at the root of the drive) before trying the location above.

  • Can't Import from DVD Since 10.5.3 Update

    Hi,
    I burned a bunch of home movies shot in Super 8 onto DVD and now I'm trying to import into iMovie for editing. I know this isn't directly supported by iMovie for some mysterious reason having to do with Copy Protection but they are my movies.
    By perusing various Mac user sites I learned of a workaround that allows you to mount the DVD through Disk Utility, then launch iMovie and the mounted drive is recognized as a camera. This worked fine a week ago when I imported my first couple of DVDs and started editing a birthday video for my daughter using footage from when she was a baby. But then I ran Software Update to upgrade to 10.5.3 and amidst the other iMovie problems that have been reported here (which I have since solved), I can no longer to get iMovie to recognize mounted drives - iMovie just crashes upon launch (after a brief scan of the mounted drive).
    I have updated to iMovie 7.1.2 and Quicktime 7.5. Any advice?

    I would use MPEG Slipstream (free) to convert the .VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder on the DVD) to DV format. This format is natively supported be iMovie. Be warned, though, that this format requires a lot of space (~11.25 GB for an hour of video).
    Hope this helps, and good luck!! -- Ian.

  • Can't open iPhoto Library after 7.1.5 update

    Hello.
    I accidently updated my system while my iPhoto library was in a different folder. Now iphoto doesnt recognize it as my library, even though it still has the standard iPhoto library icon. I have iPhoto choose my library file, which is 900 mb, but it says it has zero photos!
    I tried d/l'ing 7.1.4, but when I run the .pkg, it says a newer version of the software is installed, then quits. No duh!
    HELP Please :/
    Ron

    Ron:
    First, to make sure you're opening the correct library launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Choose Library, navigate to your library, select and open it and then close.
    Make a temporary backup copy of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Can't import photos from my camera since the update, says file is unrecognizeable

    Since the recent photos update, I can no longer import photos from my Kodak Easyshare camera. Previously all I had to do was plug it into the Mac, turn it on and it would import with no problems. Now it is telling me that the files are unreadable or something. I don't know how to find the camera as a device on the Mac when its plugged in, to go at the problem that way. Not sure what to do at this point. Getting frustrated.

    Then use either of my recommendations above. If you decide to get a card reader (I'd recommend this!) then simply insert the card into it, connect the reader to the Mac and use Photos import feature and import from the card. If you need additional help using Photos please use the Photos forum, you can get there by clicking Photos for Mac
