Cannot import a .mov file into the library
I am trying to import a .mov file into my library so I can
create a .fla file. Every time I try to import it into the library
using the import wizard, it starts the importing process and always
quits not quite two minutes into the process. It then returns me to
the front page of the import wizard. I have done this before with
absolutely no problems.
The one thing that I am wondering about is the size of this
particular .mov file. It is 377MB. Do you think this may be part of
my problem? Thank you in advance for anyone's input or
suggestions!

I would consider 10mb to be too big for a flash file. Even if
it was CD
I would load it dynamically to avoid performance problem.
377mb is out of the question way beyond flash ability to
maintain stable
performance, not just the final output but the IDE itself.

Cannot import specific MOV file into iMovie. HELP please!
I have been using iMovie for many years and am not a novice.
For some reason, I have a specific MOV file that I cannot import into iMovie 10.0.5. When I try to import the file, I get an error message:
"No Importable Files: None of the selected files or folders can be imported"
The file is NOT corrupt and plays perfectly in QuickTime. Interestingly, when I try to import the movie in iMovie, it shows 0.0 sec duration, even though it load/plays perfectly in iMovie with a duration of 54:45. See file A1 below:
I even tried converting the file to M4V in Quicktime, but iMovie would still not import the new M4V file.
Any suggestions? This is an important Movie, I cannot re-record it, and I need to edit it in iMovie.
Thanks in advance!I copied it below. I would appreciate any suggestions!

I cannot import sandisk movie files into iMovie any more after years with no problems.
For years I have filmed with my Panasonic HC-X900 and taken the SD card via a usb convertor, plugged it into my macbook pro and iMovie has automatically found the new files - easy to import into iMovie. Now the files are nowhere to be seen even though I can play them back through the camera. Any suggestions?

iPhoto won't import movies (.mov, .mp4) into the library since last upgrade to 9.5.1 (902.17). Error message is "File format not recognized". Before that, no problem. Had them first on SD-card over USB, tried then to copy to the HD (Desktop) and import from there, but didn't work. Imported successfully into iMovie and exported as .mp4, but even this is not recognized.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result. -
I'm trying to import a movie file into imovie that I know is 3hr16mins long but when it's finished importing,all I have in the programme is the heavily edited 51mins that i used in a previous project (using the same file),5 years ago. How can I stop iMovie from reverting back or could the much longer file be there and I have incorrect settings so I can't see it all?
Are these files MPEG compressed files? iMovie can not deal with the multiplexed audio of those files. For suggestions on how to get them right start here...
http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6030.shtml
And if your files are not MPEGs, some of the suggestions on that page may still do what you need done.

Dynamically importing a .mov file into flash
Hi,
I need to import a .mov file into a flash file and create a
.swf movie. I can do it through File > Import Movies option. But
I want to make it dynamic and import the movie. I would like to use
ActionScripts rather than the File> Import options. Pls let me
know if this is possible. Let me know if you have any questions.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,
MageshYou can only dynamically load at runtime FLV movies.
You can automate the authoring time environment but this is
only with the Authoring tool. See

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 -
How do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?
If I want to use iTunes to catalog FLAC files (but NOT play them...as I use my logitech Squeezebox fior that) how do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?
As polydorus notes, iTunes has the huge shortcoming of not handling FLAC.
There are plugins that allow iTunes to play FLAC, but everything I've seen says they are problematic.
A much better approach is to get a 3rd party conversion program such as Switch and convert the FLAC files to an iTunes-compatible format such as AAC or AIFF.
Put the converted files in your iTunes library, and keep the original FLACs on hand for when you are using a more capable player. -

What makes a file unreadable or readable when trying to move it into the library
What makes a file unreadable or readable when trying to move it into the library
Any more info? It could be many things including what you are doing - you do not "move" anything to the iPhoto library - you use iPhoto (or image capture) to "import" into iPhoto
We know nothing except what you tell us so full information and correct terminology is critical to getting valid answers - the more that is left to one guessing and assuming the better the chance of a bad answer

I can't add files into the library!
For some reason i cannot add files or maps in the music library of itunes, when i click "add a file to the library" and i choose a music file(for example .mp3 or .m4a) it just doesn't show in the library so i cannot play anything in this program,
i tried on another laptop with vista and there where no problems at all!!
anyone knows a suggestion?I'm also having similar problems on my parents Vista machine.
When an audio CD is inserted iTunes recognizes it, but once I try to play a track or import the CD iTunes goes through each track in about 1-2 seconds time, says that its done importing when it hasnt actually done anything. I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded a new fresh copy and the problem keeps happening. I ran the iTunes diagnostics tool on my Optical Drive and everything checks out. I opened up Windows Media Player and was able to rip audio tracks from the cd that way and was able to import the WMP ripped WMAs into iTunes, but this is too many steps for my parents to do (using iTunes alone is almost too many steps). -
Importing Quicktime .move file into iMovieHD
I have been successfully pulling the files off a DVD using DVDxDV, and using that to export to Quicktime in .mov NTSC format. Then I can import into iMovie HD. It's been fine, but I have one file now that will not import. When i try to import it, it gives me an error message and says there isn't enough disk space to import it. But I was able to import other files, same size, and the window at the bottom of iMovie says there is more than 20 GB available. I thought maybe there was something wrong with that one file, so I went through the extraction process again, but that one file will still not import, even if I start a new empty project. The file is 1.4 GB, but the project has only about 25 minutes of video and this new file is about another 8 minutes.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have a 1GHZ Power PC G4, with 768 meg ram.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Patif it is already in DV format you really do not have to import it
There is a difference in .dv stream and a DV-encoded .mov:
You can just put a plain .dv stream in the Media folder and iMovie will digest it OK (if it is the same PAL/NTSC and 4:3/16:9 spec as the receiving project).
But this doesn't work with DV-encoded .mov files which the OP may have. iMovie HD will sort of imports it, but if you add a title, it will have bad artifacts.
I prefer to use MPEG Streamclip which, unlike some of its rivals, allows to convert DVD/VOB/MPEG to .dv stream which is iMovie's native format. For some strange reason other apps can convert to only .mov.
My only gripes with MPEG Streamclip are that the current version can't set the 4:3 or 16:9 flag to the exported .dv file (BTW, iMovie HD can't either!) and that it doesn't recognize QuickTime 7-style AIF format. The next version might fix these. -
Help- Importing DV movie file into FCP how do I change my FCP settings
I am importing 5 different dv movie files that are approx 114.1mb each into Final Cut Pro. I opened a new project.. imported the files. Now I want to start putting together my sequence, but I need to change some settings, and I don't know where to start.
When I go to insert the portion of one of the files into the sequence I get a popup saying
"Attention- This clip does not match the sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
(No) (Yes)
I obviously need to select yes.. but then i'm not sure what to choose after that.
Could someone guide me please?
Thank youThey are .dv (person who sent them to me used imovie to upload their video they shot)
So I need to open them in compressor and find the preset to convert them to dv quicktimes.
Once they are dv quicktimes and I import them into my new project. Should I be good to go?
Sorry for the novice questions... I do appreciate your help. -
