Cannot import photos or video into fcp x

I have the newest version of FCP X and cannot import photos from iphoto or video...anyone, anyone?

By clicking on the Photo Browser I assume that you mean the highlighted button in the screeen shot below:
As you can see, on my system a view of the iPhoto collection does appear. If/when you find the photo(s) you want, drag them into the the event.
So why doesn't this happen for you? Don't know. Where is your iPhoto library? Some location that Final Cut isn't expecting? Maybe searching for other posts re iPhoto in this community?

Import photos and video into different folders

Hi, is there any way to import photos and videos into seperate folders?
I use lightroom to manage my photos and videos, but the videos are much larger so I prefer they are stored in a different location.
I can import them together and drag the photos to a new folder, but this does not create the same folder heirarchy as importing them would.
Currently I import once for photos and onece for videos, but I'd prefer to just "import"
Thanks!

This plugin from Rob Cole might do what you're after http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/ImporterLrPlugin/index.cfm

Imported photo and video into aperture. Now missing

I imported some photos and video into aperture last night. I also imported 14,000 jpegs from an SD card shot on a gopro. I checked it was all in four seperate folders in aperture and even wached one folders content as a slideshow. I left my Mac on last night. When I returned to do more work all last nights imports were gone. I am no expert in aperture and have had no problems before.
I contacted apple support and was advised to delete aperture (not the library) and get the up to date version from App store. This I did but still no sign.
Where should I be looking. I haver done all the usual searches of the project names I saved etc. HELP

Thanks Leonie
I have looked at GraphicConverter and I'm considering a purchase. I have been trying various free tools for fiddling with metadata but none have ever been entirely satisfactory.
What I particularly like about Aperture's geotagging is that you can drag and drop on to a Google map - nice and easy. But I hate that I have to export the image in order to embed - I have a decent DSLR now so there's no way I will run those original images through an export process - Aperture definitely does interefere with the image as well as the metadata! I wish Aperture would allow proper writing of metadata to masters - other forums confirm it can only write IPTC metadata, and even that appears to be flaky! I don't want all my information to be tied in to Aperture - each master file should 'stand alone' with all its relevant information intact, for any tool I choose to use to interact with it, or if I should send it to anyone else.
I can't see from their website - is there a user-frendly interface in GraphicConverter for geotagging including a map drag-and-drop? Or do you manually have to enter coordinates in to metadata fields? I assume you can edit IPTC and EXIF metadata to add keywords and things? This would be a useful tool alongside Aperture, to make up for its shortcomings.
I could use GraphicConverter to add geotags (and keywords) prior to import in to Aperture as part of my import process. At least until I get a camera with GPS and then all this will be a thing of the past!
I will investigate with videos and post back here with any results.My research on the web is very inconclusive and it looks like different manufacturers use different conventions for video geotags, so I'll see what I can do!
Personally I find geotags one of the most valuable pieces of metadata I can attach to my personal images and videos, alongside date and time, so i am determined to find a way to do both!!

Cannot import photos from iPhone into IMAC

I receive an error message when I attempt to import the photos on my iPhone or my iPad into iPhotos.......the error messages states that I have "unreadable files".
Can anyone help me?

OK, So I found out that I can only import photos from my Camera Roll only. I did try to transfer the photos from my PC to my MAC using Migration Assistant. Both my PC and my MAC are on the same Network, but the two computers never connect. Anyone know how to remedy this?

Cannot import the whole video into imovie 08

Hi. I've successfully imported video from my Sony Handicam, using imovie 06 in the past, without any problems. However, I recently upgraded to 08 and it only allows me to import 50 minutes worth and then rewinds the tape! When I check the memory available on my hard drive it seems that I still have half the drive space left! Any help would be appreciated - this is driving me mad!

Hi
Not knowing. I would start a new user/account - log into this and re-try.
BUT 50 min - indicates a serious project not just some minutes to YouTube.
iMovie'08 is more for short doings. If You had iM HD 6 - it's now
in the folder Applications/iMovie previous versions.
(If not download from Apple. iLife08 owners are entitled to do this)
Update this to iM 6.0.4 and You will have Your movie done. I think iM08 reduces the quality on top
of all else missing.
So if You are doing a DVD - please work in iM6 and keep frustration to a low.
Yours Bengt W

How to import high quality video into FCP Studio

I used Mac The Ripper to extract video off of some DVDs, that were NTSC.
I then used compressor to match the frame rate of my timeline, 59.94.
The video never looked great, even after I de-interlaced it. But after using compressor, this is the video noise I ended up with.
Is there a good way to extract from DVDs. What are the best settings in Compressor to get the best results?
My compressor settings:
File Extension: mov
Estimated file size: 2.75 GB/hour of source
Audio: multi-track passthrough
Video Encoder
    Format: QT
    Width: 640
    Height: 426
    Pixel aspect ratio: Square
    Crop: None
    Padding: None
    Frame rate: 59.94
    Frame Controls: Automatically selected: Off
    Codec Type: MPEG-4 Video
    Multi-pass: Off, frame reorder: Off
    Pixel depth: 24
    Spatial quality: 100
    Min. Spatial quality: 25
    Key frame interval: 24
    Temporal quality: 50
    Min. temporal quality: 25
    Average data rate: 6.554 (Mbps)

Thanks so much for you help! Your the best!
I will try MPEG STREAMCLIP again. My earlier version does not seem to be working.
The previous poster stated I needed to be the owner to rip DVDs. Yet, I just wanted to point out that there are two instances where you actually do not need to own copyright. As I mentioned I have the releases from the copyright owners. And mentioning Fair Use was inportant to know about as well. But you're right, not something to be cavalier about.
Definitely, what constitues Fair Use should be left to attorneys. There are very specific criteria that designates what is and what is not Fair Use. Happily the law has been recently changed so film makers doing documetnary work can editorialize, and commnet under the Fair Use doctraine and ripping DVDs under this doctraine is not punishable.
The courts are broadly interperting the law, and as this link shows, even Yoko Ono couldn't stop a film maker from using IMAGINE, by John Lennon.

Cannot load Photoshop Elements 10. 1st (of 3) disks only gives me option to import photos and videos, not to install. How can I install?

Cannot load Photoshop Elements 10. 1st (of 3) disks only gives me option to import photos and videos, not to install. How can I install?

Are you sure that:
1. You have the correct disc for your operating system? You have both mac and windows versions on the discs. If you have a mac you want disc 3, not disc 1.
2. PSE is not already installed?

I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5v or photoshop

i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
Highlight your card.
Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
Then start the import.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

I think you mean "importing", not downloading.
Downloading is when you copy a file from an Internet server to your computer.
Channel one will not separate from channel two.
Any suggestions?
Select the two tracks and choose Modify > Stereo Pair
Or you can just use the keyboard shortcut option-L

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

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?

Import a rm video in FCP

How can I import a Real Player .rm video into FCP to edit? This original file was created on a pc. Thanks.

You don't. RealMedia is as closed as it gets. NO converters. Gotta get a better format from the original PC. NOT RealMEDIA.

HT201302 When I try to import photos and videos, I'm told that there are none

When I try to import photos and videos, I'm told that there are none. And when I go into the DCIM folder (the only folder I can see), there are no files inside. What else can I do to move my photos onto my PC?

Are the photos in question in the Camera Roll of the iPad? If not, where on the iPad are they (in what part of what app do they appear)?
