Cannot import iphone movies into lightroom 3

I am unable to import movies made by an iphone 4s into Lightroom 3.6 running on a macbook pro (OS X 10.8.3). The still images are imported fine via the import function of Lightroom. The import page shows the movies, tries to import them but than hangs (even on very small files of80mb)
With ImageCapture from Apple I am able to transfer the files form the iphone onto the macbook. So the problem lies not in transferring te files from the iphone. Importing the movies from the harddisk into lightroom doesn't work either.
Help would be greatly appreciated

Cannot import Finalize movie into iMovie

I have a Sony DCR-DVD103 and when I go to File>Import Movies I do see my Finalized DVD, but all the files including the Import button are grayed out. How can I import the Finalized movie into iMovie?
Upon connecting the Video Camera to my MacBook Pro, DVD Player launches. I quit DVD Player and go to iMovie>Import Movies, but never see how to import the movie into iMovie.

The "Import Movies..." option is for importing "edit" compatible files from a hard drive into iMovie '08. If the source files are not already "edit" compatible, iMovie '08 will not let you import them. Instead, try the ""Import from Camera..." option. If iMovie '08 properly recognizes you DVD camcorder, it will import your MPEG2/AAC content by converting all MPEG-2 "P" and "B" frames to "I" frames (which are editable), convert the AC3 audio to AIFF, and place both in an MOV file container with start and/or end time offsets to minimize drift between audio and video. The resulting file can then be edited in iMovie '08.
If the camcorder is not recognized by iMovie '08, then you will probably have to import the MPEG2/AC3 files to you hard drive and manually convert them to an edit compatible compression format manually using an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component), FFmpegX, (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), MPEG2 Works (pay-ware), or similar application.

I have a new camera and cannot import RAW files into lightroom.

I have a new Sony NEX 5 and have tried importing the ARW files into lightroom. The files are recognized when I import photos from device. When I choose the .arw files to import, I receive an message "unknown errors occurred" and files won't import. I have never had a problem importing files from a card or directly from my older camera. Any suggestions?

Check here to see if your camera is supported yet.
If its a camera launched in the last month it won't be. But you can try LR 3.2 RC and see if it has been added. Otherwise you will have to wait until LR supports the format. This is a problem caused by manufacturers constantly using their own formats which require Adobe to investigate every new format before adding it to LR. In 99.99% of the cases the so called new format from the manufacturers is just a line of code with the name of the camera in it. You can use a EXIF editor tool (just google, lots of free ones) to change the name in the RAW file to one presently supported and then convert to DNG. If you do go down this road then ensure you also keep a copy of the original files just in case something has actually changed.
If you are still using LR 2.7 and the format you need was introduced with LR 3 you don't need to upgrade, you can just use Adobes standalone converter to convert the files to DNG and then import them.

Cannot import a photo into Lightroom 5.2

See the Lamp and Chopper video at http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/21425173_dGgs24

OK, the first "problem": one of them IS the original, which you modified by applying the tint adjustment. So why would you expect to see it in its "original" non-tint form? That will only happen if you step back in the history panel. Lightroom NEVER changes the original image data, but it does update the previews that you see with any adjustments that you make.....so you will always see the modified version of your original. In the Develop module, you applied the +100 tint adjustment, so you'll then see that adjusted image in the Library module. So seeing the modified original file in Library is the expected view, yes? You then exported that file, during which process Lightroom reads the original file, adds whatever changes you have in the develop history, and writes the new file.....which as expected then matches the modified original file when you see them side by side in the Library.
I really don't understand why you see this as a problem, it is entirely normal behaviour.
The second problem: when you made that +100 tint adjustment to your original, the effect of having that XMP setting checked in your Catalog settings means that almost as soon as you made the change, Lightroom will write that change into the XMP portion of the file's header. It does NOT, however, recreate the small embedded Jpeg preview in your file. That embedded thumbnail preview is what you see when you look at the file in something like Explorer/Finder, and if you fully open that file in say Windows Photo Viewer you will still see the original image (because Lightroom hasn't changed it).
However, when you remove that file from Lightroom and then re-imported it, the sequence is as follows:
In the Import window, Lightroom will show you the embedded jpeg preview, i.e. the original unmodified image.
But then during import Lightroom will detect the XMP data that was written to the file, and because Lightroom wrote it it can decipher it and apply it. So after import you see the modified image. Again, entirely expected behaviour, once you understand the sequence. Also note that most non-Adobe products will NOT be able to understand XMP develop data written by Lightroom, so will ignore it. So open that file in a photo viewer, you see the original, but open it is Photshop or Lightroom and you see the modified version.
But that aside, there really was no need to remove the original in the first place.

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!

How to import images from iPhone 5 into Lightroom 4?

After a recent iTunes software update, I can't import images from my iPhone 5 into Lightroom 4. Now Lightroom doesn't even recognize that the iPhone is connected, nor does the Finder, which explains why I can't choose it as an import source. Instead the iPhone only shows up in iTunes when connected. Surely someone else has run into this issue. Any known solutions/suggestions/work-arounds?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

Cannot import any files on Lightroom 4.2

I have been having problems with importing all files to Lightroom since my Macbook was 'healthchecked'!! I get the message 'cannot read files'.
This started with Lightroom 3 - where I have tried to delete the preference file and then recreate - no luck, after alot of other things tried, I then
uninstalled Lightroom 3 and installed a fresh version of Lightroom 4.2 - and the problem still exists.
I suspect it is a configuration problem but am not technical, so I need some non-techie suggestions please, I am getting very very frustrated!!
Can anyone help, please.

Victoria,
Thank you for you reply, it must have been something to do with the
permissions of the folders as I just decided to create a new folder as
the destination folder and that worked!!
So thank you so much, I just now need to organise all the photographs.

Which folder are you setting as the Destination, for the files to be
imported into? Does it work if you set it to, say, Desktop?
That "cannot be read" error message more often means "cannot be
written" (yes, I know, that's stupid!!!), so it's probably a folder
permissions issue.

Import iTunes movie into iMovie or Motion

I am a teacher and I wanted to show the movie Hocus Pocus to the kids at my elemtary school. But the school doesn't allow movies with ANY language. I would like to be able to import this movie into iMovie '11 or Motion 5 and block out the cuss words. This is a protected MPEG 4 video, so, none of these programs will let me do this! Any suggestions? (Please don't recomend any video convertors unless they're free, don't have a time limit, and will work with protected MPEG's) THANKS!

You cannot edit the movies and you cannot legally remove the DRM.
You can't show movies in school unless it is part of the curriculum (the movie actually pertains to the studies). Simply for entertainment is not permissible (without copright owners permission).

How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
they don't appear in the iTunes movie list! They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
What's the story! . . . . thanks f

Allan, I tried all you suggested. I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play. When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box. All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video! Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop? Am I missing something here?
Thanks again

Can't import iphoto library into Lightroom

Lightroom does not appear to recognise my pics in the Mac iphoto library. I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
Do I have to change some preferences or something?

I recently changed my pc for a mac and all my old photo files were transferred across into iphoto and any new photos from my camera were imported straight into iphoto. I have since started a course where we use Lightroom but find I can't import any photos stored in iphoto into Lightroom. iphoto is always "shaded out" in the list when I try to import into Lightroom.
What do you suggest I do in order to import these photos into Lightroom?

Yes, in library ive zoomed into 1:1 and the image is nice and sharp, but when i zoomed out, the sharpness disapears and the image is blurry again. I see a lot of people are having this problem. I also called adobe and talked to someone and they had no idea whats going on,

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.
