Cannot import Canon 500D .MOV files into Lightroom 4.1

I've seen a few problems on here about similar issues.
I've imported .mov files before, but a perfectly valid (short, circa 10 seconds) .MOV clip just will not preview or import into Lightroom 4.1 on my Win7 x64 system.
The movie will play fine directly from the card, but just won't import!
Any ideas, chaps?

how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

Import Canon HF20 video-files into Mac

Hello!
I just bought a new camcorder, Canon Vixia HF20. I installed the following cd called; Digital video, solution disk, which I was supposed to use to import the video-files into my mac.
When I installed it, I plugged in the camcorder with the USB, but the program says "no camera was found".
It tried to set the USB connection type to computer/printer, but it didn't work...
Is there somebody who could help me with this please? I think it is ridiculous if a well-known producer as Canon cannot make their programs for macs! It has to be a solution to this?
Thanks.

Found out myself.

Why can't I import my ppt.mov file into iMovie?

I created a ppt movie, added music and now have a file that I want to import into iMovie. When I hit the browse button, my ppt.mov file shows up but it's light and I can't select it.

You can export from powerpoint as a MOV file. You must take care that Powerpoint does not add any extra tracks like a manual advance track. This would cause iMovie to not be able to edit it. There are several parameters you can change in the "Options" when exporting as a movie from PPT, but it is not obvious to me which of these might introduce the offending track.
The most straightforward way (or most likely to succeed) is to export from Powerpoint as photos. You can select it to Save as Photos as a series of JPEG images. These jpegs can then be imported into iPhoto for easy import into iMovie. You can add the music in iMovie as well.
I guess the question is, what are you adding in iMOvie? That might help us give better advice.
Also, if you use the iWork App "KeyNote", it gives you the option of exporting to QuickTime without a manual advance track.) Keynote can import PPT. If you do a lot of this, Keynote might be worth the money. Else, just import the photos.

I cannot import 5.1 WAV files into iTunes

Hello
I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 (5) 64 bit on OSX 10.9.2. I'm trying to import some wav files into iTunes, they are about 6-11 minutes long each, they have 5.1 (6 total) channels, 16 bit depth and are sampled at 48,000 kHz. I can run them in QuickTime Player 10.3 (727.3) without any problems, but iTunes will not run them. This stil happens if I try to import the same files when they are in Apple Lossless format as well. I have several other surround sound files sourced from other stuff and they wil not import either, but they still run in Quicktime Player just fine. I don't have any pluging installed for iTunes or QuickTime Player. Does iTunes just not support surround sound audio, or is there something wrong with the files that I'm trying to import?

Hi Michael,
I bounced a PCM 5.1 WAV Audio File from Logic Pro X, This File alredy plays 5.1 surround from desktop just with the space bar preview and also with QuickTime ok? But Itunes 11 doesn´t import PCM 5.1 (multi) Wav audio files as you know, so I Knew that in the Itunes 11 for the movies tracks the 5.1 surround audio is automatic.See this link below
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4072 -
What I did?
I just imported my audio file to Apple COMPRRESSOR, and choose the H.264 output format and I changed from .MOV to .MP4 (This one Itunes import with multi audio 5.1)
and also select 48 Khz and 720 Kbps. After encoding my audio file from ( 226 Mb) PCM 5.1 Wav about 4.20' went to a AAC 6 channes 48 Khz / 720 Kbps .MP4 file with 24 Mb size. Itunes import withou problem and played 5.1 surround as I wish.
I hope you understood my explanation,
Regards
Paulo

Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

I can't import my Canon 6D RAW files into Lightroom 4.2

Anyone else have this problem? I have a 5D Mk II, and just bought a 6D yesterday. I have Lightroom 4.2 on a Mac. Anyone else have this problem? It won't let me import the RAW files, won't show previews of them.

For a camera like the 6D that is relatively important and relatively similar to other camera before, it is not a case of Canon and Adobe not cooperating or Canon not supplying some information. It is a case of timing in a competitive market.
Before supporting a particular camera, Adobe needs a profile for it. Adobe has to create said profile from a PRODUCTION model camera not a beta version where something might change and the profile would be no good. How far in advance is Canon going to have a PRODUCTION camera that they could supply to Adobe to profile but not supply it to distributors to sell?
Canon and Adobe are independent companies headquartered in different countries with different market forces and global economic conditions driving their revenue. Canon is NOT going to hold off selling a camera waiting for Adobe to profile it and incorporate it into their next version of software it, and Adobe is not going to have a camera to profile until just before or just after Canon sells one. Canon needs the freedom to tweak things at the last minute without coordinating schedules with Adobe, and Adobe needs to freedom to release things according to a schedule that allows things to be reasonably bug free and coordinated between various software platforms. The plug-in concept for Photoshop means that a new release of Photoshop not have to be ready just to support new cameras, but with Lightroom, a new piece of software does need to be ready for release before new cameras can be supported. For this reason Adobe releases their camera support on a relatively fixed schedule, rather than a small update closer to the time of a particular camera being ready internally.
If Canon and Adobe were the same company or somehow coordinated the release of their camera and software support, the only thing different would be that the camera or Adobe software would be delayed until the other was ready. A particular photographer can accomplish the same thing by waiting to buy their new camera until after it is supported by their raw-processing software of choice. With the current situation of Adobe and Canon being separate companies and having independent release schedules, for those without need to use Adobe software, they can buy the camera sooner.

Error importing Nikon D800 RAW files into Lightroom 4.4.1

Hi folks,
I got an Nikon D800 and tried to import the RAW files taken with it to my Lightroom 4.4.1 installation on Windows 8.1 64bit.

I do get an error like this while trying to import the files:
And then when I try to import them I get an error screen.
The files can be viewed with irfanview so they should not be corupted.

Have you used any Nikon software with them, perhaps an older Nikon Transfer or View NX? These are known to make newer Nikon camera’s files unreadable by Adobe products.
On way to test would be to take a new picture and move it to your hard-drive using either your OS-level functions (Finder/Explorer) or LR, itself, directly from the card, perhaps in a card reader.
The utility, here, can reverse this obsolete-Nikon-software corruption:

I cannot import windows media player files into itunes.

Can anyone recommend a way to convert wm files so I can import into itunes?
Thanks
Alexi

You need to use a tool such as Switch on the Mac; iTunes on Windows will handle the conversion itself. The Windows version of iTunes won't convert protected WMA files, and no Mac software will.

Problem importing MOV files into iPhoto

I am getting an error when importing my iPhone mov files into iPhoto -- "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format". However the file plays ok with Quicktime.
Can someone help me with this? Its a brand new mac and I have the latest iPhoto too.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Lightroom 4.1 - I Cannot import Nikon D300s video / movie files into catalogue - Can you?

Hi,
I can import all of my movie files produced by other cameras into my Lightroom 4.1 catalogue, I have the most recent version of Quicktime installed and obviously as I can import other camera model movies it proves that the basic Lightroom services and processes are working fine.
When I try to import the movie, first on the import module it says 'unable to create preview' and then it states, 'this movie file contains no video frames'.
I had gone back to Lightroom 3.5, but have since realised this version doesn't publish my movie files to flickr if they are >30Mb due to the way the Lightroom 3 Publishing module craps out on memory usage.
I know the D300s records movies using the J-MPEG codec, but I'm not sure if this is a problem with the codecs installed on my machine or whether Lightroom does not support this codec?
Before I waste another few days on trying to resolve the D300s import issue, can anybody else preview and import their Nikon D300s video files into Lightroom 4 or 4.1?
Thanks,
Simon
