Simply having a MOV extension does not mean its just a quicktime movie.
Think of the extension like you would a gum wrapper. Lots of different
flavors of gum could be inside that wrapper. Quite likely you have a MOV
file in a flavor that AE simply does not like.

Can't Import Quicktime Files Created in FCP

FCP: Version 4.5
Mac OSX 10.4.7
When finished editing a sequence, I exported it using FILE > EXPORT > QUICKTIME CONVERSION > and selected Quicktime Movie, Broadband Medium. I was very pleased. However, I want to go back and make a minor edit to the footage, but FCP wont let me import the file that was created back into FCP. (It says "Error: Unknown File".) I no longer have access to the original tapes, so these exported files are all I have to work with. Any suggestions on how I can get it back into FCP and do some editing? Thanks.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It will cost a bit of picture quality, but seems to me you should be able to open these in QT Pro and export them in an editable format like DV, uncompressed, etc... edit them then recompress.
But keep in mind that theory states there will be a digital generation loss doing this. Better to have kept the media or tapes, but then the loss may be OK...
You should join our users group in Denver! http://www.dfcpug.org Next meeting is this coming Tuesday.

Can't import quicktime

The problem is happening on a PC with Windows 8.1. I can't import quicktime files into my After Effects CC 2014. Some files work, some does not work. I am getting this error:
After Effects error: file 'test.mov' can't be imported -- this '.mov' file is damaged or unsuported or damaged.
I have quicktime installed. I can't even import quicktime movies from my phone. Please help. THANKS!

That should be working. Something is awry on your machine.

Can't import .AVI files in QuickTime Player

Hi there - Okay,,I'm a real Noob,,but I can't understand why I can't import .AVI files when apparently I should be able to. I have just purchased a Toshiba Camelio S20 and have taken some test movie shots and when I've tried to open them in iMovie or just open them in finder I get the following message
'The document “IMAG0002.AVI” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.'
The Quicktime player I'm using is Version 10 and I'm working with MacOS X V 10.6.4.
What am I doing wrong ?
Pls help ?
Thanx

Heya - thank you so much - have done what you suggested and now i can import the clips into iMovie - no problem!
But,,,,and,,golly,,don't know if I'm being really really stupid but by converting to DV or MOV I lose all audio from any of the clips that I'm importing...
Can you help some more - sore to be pain in buttocks !! Am completely new to iMovie so am struggling a bit!!!
Thanking you

Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC

Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC. But I can into After Effects CC.
I also can't export to DNxHD files to an MXF file either.
I do have latest Quicktime Pro installed and I also have Avid Media Composer and the other pieces of the Avid package.
Conflict?

I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges. What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator"). I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator". Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
Anyone else have some ideas?

Importing quicktime file into iMovie 11 resulting in distortion

After having trouble importing Quicktime files into iMovie hd6, I decided to buy iMovie 11. So the file imports without squishing the image into 4:3 as it did in iMovie hd6, but now the movie has a strange strobe like flashing that is not present in the original.
Any ideas?

See if you can open the file in QuickTIme PLayer. Click Command-I (or WINDOW/INSPECTOR) in QuickTime Player. Tell us what is listed by the word FORMAT:

Can't import XDCAM files(.mov) in Premiere for Windows

Hello.
I have some problem using XDCAM file in Premiere Pro.
Actually I captured the XDCAM file(.mov) from MovieRecorder, which is the ingest software for Mac..(http://www.softron.tv/products/movierecorder.html)
The XDCAM file is opened in Premiere Pro for Mac.
And I can play the file in QuickTime player for Win but I can't import the file in Premiere for Windows.
How can I import the XDCAM(.mov) recorded from Mac in Premiere Pro for Windows?
Do I have to install any codec or program?
Please let me know any advice.
Best regards,
Donnie Kim

Any suggestions would be appreaciated.
They have a website with support and a forum. https://www.videocopilot.net/products/action2/
Looks like cool stuff.
They list compatability with Premier Elements. Perhaps if you post a request there, you will find someone that has been down the road before you with the combination of the two products. They may also need to know if an adjustment is necessary for PrE11.
Good luck!

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

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

b) Use an utility like Clipwrap or MPEG Streamclip to convert the mts file to a quicktime (mov) file
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.)

How can i import mpg files in i movie

how can i import mpg files in i movie?

iMovie cannot edit mpg files, unles they come directly from a supported camera.
I would suggest that you use a free third party app to convert it.
Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is free.
Drag you mpg clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Apple Intermediate Codec, and save it where you can find it. You should be able to import this file into iMovie, using the FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE command.
Note: If your file is an MPEG2 clip, you may need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. Don't buy it unless you have to. It costs about $20. You just have to install the component. MPEG Streamclip will use it in the background.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

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 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
http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
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 shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Can't import ISO Files in VM Manager because of empty Server Pool Drop Down

Hello,
I have the problem I can't import ISO files to my ressources because in the import mask the Server Pool Name Drop Down is empty. In the Virtual Machine Templates mask the Server Pool Name is available and I have already one VM running with a oracle template.
The Server is 2.2.1 and the vm manager is 2.2.0. The server is a Pentium 4 3.2 GHz with 4 MB of RAM. The High Availabiliy Mode is enabled for this server pool.
Has anyone an idea what the problem could be?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thx in forward
Ben

I am not expert in this area myself, but I believe the issue may be with shared storage changes that are needed for high availability.

Can I import html files into Buzzword?

Can I import html files into Buzzword?

Thank you for your post.
Buzzword lets you import Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), plain text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF), Word 2003 XML, and Open Document Format (.odt) files. (Font substitution and other formatting changes sometimes occur on import, depending on the content of the document.) You'll need to convert your HTML file to one of the supported file types before importing to Buzzword.
