Cannot drag MOV videos into timeline

Hi there,
So i have weird problem now with MOV files. After dragging into timeline the second one, different from the first one, I can't drag any more files. Including the first one, or other non-mov files. If I drag just the first one i can repeat it many times. In this case I can continue with other types. But then I cant add any movs. There is only audio to be moved.
What I can do is open it new sequence, and then use this single file sequence on primary timeline.
This is very annoying.
Please help.

Hmm, am not sure about codec; footage was shoot with iPhone 5. I can check it when I'm at computer.
QuickTime have been not updated recently I suppose.
One more fact I found last night - I can drag those files from new sequence into main timeline. Another words - I need to create new sequence for each single file, then I can use many in main timeline.

  • Cannot import .mov video files into Premiere Pro CS4

    Hi Everyone,
    I have Premiere Pro CS4 and cannot import .mov files into my project.  When I try Premiere freezes up and has to be closed.  I'm running Windows 7 and have a Gateway DX4300-11 with a Quad-Core AMD processor with 8 Gigs of ram although the Adobe CS4 programs only seem to recognize 4 Gigs at startup.  How do I get Premiere to import .mov files?

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

    I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4
    (last version updated) for MAC
    in the beginnig it was  working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
    I use .mp4 files
    Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
    the error says "was not able to import video files"
    thanks

    Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
    I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
    So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

  • Can't drag video into timeline premiere cc

    Been working with PP CC since it came out and have had almost no problems. Now I have a head scratcher. I can't drag a video clip from the project panel to the sequence. The audio comes but the video won't. All I get is the close hand with a line through it when I hover over any of the video tracks. The clips play fine in the source monitor but still cant drag it from source to sequence either. Tried this with clips from several projects and cameras but no go. Started a new project, different name, folder and footage, still have the problem.

  • I can't drag .mov files into an iMessage as I could earlier

    Used to, I could drag a movie file into iMessage and send it to my friends quite easily. It was the most convenient way to send content and raw footage to schoolmates for projects and what not, but now when I do this it doesn't add any footage, but instead a blank line?  I really need to be able to send videos this way as my class almost requires us to share content.

    I've seen where you've helped a lot of people and hopefully you can help me as I'm stumped. I have a Canon Vixia HFS200 and having trouble getting some movie clips to import from SD card. In the past, if a 'still' pic is taken on the same card, iMovie won't recognize anything as being importable. If I deleted the photos, I was able to import without a problem but this time, there are no stills on the card but still doesn't recognize anything importable, even though there are 140 or so .MTS files.
    I've tried a conversion software that I was able to view them but had the company logo over the top. I wasn't sure if there was a way to manually or 'force' them to import? Appreciate any suggestions.

  • Quality Loss When Importing Video into Timeline...Any Ideas??

    Hey all -
    I'm fairly new to CS4, so excuse me if this question is a little dumb.
    I've offered to edit a friend's actor showreel to familiarize myself with CS4. He gave me a bunch of HD clips: they're .MOV files, and are 1920x1080 and 23.976fps.
    I can import a clip and drag it into the preview screen in the middle: it looks fine. However, when I drag it onto the timeline, it suddenly looks faded and blurred. It's not horrible, but it loses the vibrancy of color, the sharpness and the contrast of the original clip. A lot of the quality is gone.
    I've tried opening the project with a number of different settings, no difference. I thought it might look OK when I exported it, but it looks just like it does on the timeline monitor: a little washed-out, blurred, just not as nice as the original.....
    I'd hate to present it to my pal looking like this, can anyone suggest a solution? I tried everything I could think of already....
    Thanks!!
    B

    Hi Hunt -
    many thanks for your reply. I've spent the last couple of days trying to follow your advice and do more research.....still no luck.
    Firstly, I upgraded my OS to Windows 7, thought it might help for some reason. Didn't. I downloaded a bunch of codec packs.
    Gspot reports:
    Codec: AVC1
    Name: H.264
    Codec Status: undetermined
    So I'm basically running through all the possible output formats, but really it doesn't seem to be an encoding problem: the quality loss happens as soon as I move the file from the preview screen to the timeline.
    If you have any othe suggestions I'be very pleased!!
    Thanks

  • Cannot import .mov file into iMovie '08

    I have about 50 .mov files that I need to import into iMovie '08. I am unable to drag-and-drop or import the .mov files into iMovie.
    The files originated from a Flip video camera. Is it possible that maybe Flip and iMovie '08 do not interface? Please let me know if you have encountered this before. Thanks!

    is this also the case for imovie '09?
    i've taken some video with my digital camera that's been imported into iphoto along with pics. i've been trying to get them into imovie for editing purposes, but have had 0 luck...the files aren't selectable when attempting to import.
    you're saying that the solution is to buy yet ANOTHER piece of software to convert the file to something else that imovie will read? what the..?!?
    it's rhetorical, but why wouldn't they enable imovie do this for you?!?
    not sure why it's this difficult and/or why anyone would want to go thru that effort. i "need" to be that much more educated about file types and compression and tween tracks and all that nonsense? seems both counterintuitive and counterproductive.
    look, i just want to take some video and edit it...why do i need all the other headache?

  • Cannot put dissolve/iris into timeline

    When I edit my movie i cannot put dissolve/iris into the "timeline". I did however succed with doing it in one frame, but cannot do between any of the other frames (between edit points)?
    I Try to do it like the tutorial suggested: http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/ (transitions) but with out any luck.
    I posted a couple of screenshots here: http://public.me.com/nyhus
    What am i doing wrong?

    It is not working because you are trying to put it between 2 complete clips.
    If you cut a second off the end of each clip where the transition will go, you will find that it works.
    If you read this article you will have the whole process explained more carefully:-

  • Cannot import .mov video

    When I try to import a *.mov video to my flash document, I
    get an error message that "movie file
    UntitledSequence.04608ED6D.omf cannot be found. Without this file,
    the movie cannot play." Can anyone tell me what this means? It's
    urgent.

    It sounds like the kind of error one my get if the QuickTime
    movie was a "by
    Reference" movie rather than an all inclusive or standalone
    movie. The
    reference it is looking for is an OMF file. OMF or Open Media
    Format files
    are created by a number of programs including Pro-Tools and
    Avid Media
    Composer. If you are exporting from one of these programs,
    that may be the
    problem.

  • Cannot drag Indesign files into my Cloud space

    Cannot drag Indesign files, or IDML versions of, into my Cloud space. Tried on home and office PCs, tried different ID files. This is a major problem for my workflow. HELP!

    Hi Ken
    Sorry I haven’t replied before – just taken a short break away from office (and disconnected home PC!)
    Our office OS is Windows XP. I would not be surprised if there were problems on office PC as I’m working in an NHS network environment and there are loads of security protocols and some functions disabled within it.
    But my home PC is running Windows 7. In both environments I see the ‘Drag and drop to upload’ message, but after releasing the Indesign file in that window nothing more happens.
    Just before I went off I discovered the ‘Upload’ button; hadn’t recognized it as such – I thought maybe it moved a file up out of a folder! Durr.....
    That worked fine, so I can use that instead.
    Is there any way to amend the date display for individual files? I keep getting confused with the month appearing first – European thing I guess.....

  • IDVD 7.2.1 is turning my 16:9 DV .mov videos into the 4:3 format.  I believe all the settings are correct. I am stuck at the very last step.  Anyone heard of this?  Thanks

    I have all the settings correct, the few that there are.  I have searched for help in documentation and tutorials but have found nothing about this?  When I slide the DV 16:9 videos into the menu and then play them, they are 4:3. I am stuck at the last step. Has anyone heard of this?  Thanks

    I don't have the need to make many DVDs.  I was doing this for someone who's grandfather, a D-Day veteran was featured in one of the videos for the website of the newspaper where I work.  It turns out that the DVD looks right on the widescreen TV, but not on my monitors. I could not find an answer to something that apparently was not a problem in the first place. I learned a lot from the various discussions and will be reading more of them, more often in the future.

  • Cannot import .mov files into FCE

    I bought a new Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera to use to finish a video project because my right hand is in a cast and I cannot use my HD video camera. Unfortunately for me, I have a deadline to meet.
    I shot video at 720p and tried to import it into FCE 4.0.1 to edit using Log and Transfer and got the warning message, '"863_0156.MOV" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.' I also shot video at 1080p and, of course, cannot import it into FCE either using Log and Transfer.
    I am still a relatively new FCE user and would appreciate any suggestions you can give me. I looked in Tom's book (FCE 4 Editing Workshop)on page 73. Will Quicktime Pro 10 convert the files? If so what is the procedure?
    I have seen similar questions in this discussion forum on importing .mov files, but I haven't seen a solution that works for me. How can I convert the .mov files to get Log and transfer in FCE to accept them?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    This pocket camera record H.264. So the material as to be converted to a format supoported natively by FCE as Apple Intermediate Codec 1080. Search this forum with +MPEG streamclip+ keyword.

  • Drag-drop video into iphone not working

    All my music and video all of a sudden disappeared off my iphone (the video podcast still were there though). I was updating and poking around, but I really don't think I delete them accidentally. I've always just dragged and dropped videos from the finder directly onto the iPhone via iTunes and never had problems before. Now after the mysterious missing music and video, I can't drag and drop any more. These are h.264 video files that have worked in the past. If I re-compress the videos in QT pro using Export>Movie to iPhone I can drag and drop. If I choose Export>movie to Quicktime Movie I can't (even though it's worked before and the settings fall within spec... h.264, etc ). ARRRG!
    The only thing I haven't done yet is restore the iPhone. I was worried that my camera roll would disappear. Any thoughts? Help!

    Copied from my previous post.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process - if any of the data on your iPhone that is included with the backup has changed since the last sync. But you shouldn't depend on your iPhone's backup alone for these photos. These photos should be imported by an app on your computer as with any other digital camera.
    If you use iPhoto on your Mac for photo storage, you can use iPhoto for the import. If not, you can use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder.
    Assuming you are syncing your iPhone with iTunes for other content, your iPhone's backup should be updated as the first step during the sync process if any of the data included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync - which is usually 100% of the time.
    If you restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, any photos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be restored with your iPhone's backup, but as already provided, you shouldn't depend on your iPhone's backup alone for these photos. Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by an application on your computer as with any other digital camera. If you use iPhoto for photo storage on your Mac, you can use iPhoto for this. If you don't use iPhoto, you can use the Image Capture application for this.
    I do download the photos to iTunes, so there is that backup as well.
    You don't download any photos to iTunes - not from your iPhone or from anywhere else for that matter. iTunes does not handle the import of photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll or from any digital camera. This must be done with a separate application such as with iPhoto or the Image Capture application on a Mac.
    You can transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, but iTunes does not have anything to do with photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll except for including these photos along with other data for your iPhone's backup.
