Cannot import raw footage...

I have a JVC Everio GZ-HD3U. I have tried to import and it and it does not recognize this camera. What is going on here?
I have had to use iSquint that makes it an MPEG4 and it does not look good in iMovie08 and when I export it.
How can I import this camera at HD (RAW), uncompressed footage and export it the same. How do I do this so it is uncompressed and not blocky.
Should I use iMovie06 instead?? I have read this is a better program.
Please help!!!!
Dave

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df.

Hello,
I have a late '11 Macbook Pro that currently has OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto version 9.2.1 and for some reason I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df memory card.
I don't know if I have something wrong in my settings or if my current iPhoto and/or OSX needs to be upgraded. Is there anyone here that would be so kind to help this technically challenged old man and tell me what I need to do?
Many thanks!

You'll need OS 10.9 Mavericks and Camera Raw update 5.0.2 and Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later, is required to install this update.
The good news is that all those updates are free as you have 10.7.
As always, back up all data before upgrading anything.

Cannot import RAW files since I upgraded to Yosemite

I used to import RAW files using iPhoto from my T3 Canon camera but since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and iPhoto 9.6 I cannot do this anymore. I have reinstalled the OS, applied all the RAW upgrades and even deleted and installed iPhoto again but raw photos cannot be successfully imported. Additionally, OS X becomes unstable after trying to import Raw files. I have the same problem in two different PCs (a Mac mini, a MacBook Pro) as a result, I have concluded that there is a problem with the RAW compatibility drivers. How can I convince Apple that there is something wring with their drivers?

Start by letting them know:
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Then try reinstall the Raw Support. This thread
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
explains how to do that.

Cannot import RAW from Canon Powershot S50

Hello,
I am trying to import RAW files from a Canon S50 and I get a message stating that the files are unreadable. I can open them in Photoshop if I move them from the microdrive to the system.
Any ideas.
Erik

Hello Erik
is iphoto telling you that the file is unreadable? what version of iphoto are you using? i use to have a Canon S50 and had a "unreadable" file message. i used image capture to download the file though it was a jpeg error message.
i used the packaged software to download and uncompress the RAW files instead of using iphoto(had ver. 4 at the time).

IPhoto cannot import RAW files

I am using the latest version of iPhoto (9.1.5), and have installed all RAW updates. I shoot a Nikon D300s and Panasonic Lumix LX-3. RAW images from both are supposedly supported by iPhoto, but neither will import. I have looked in iPhoto's Preferences, but cannot find anything. I assumed import and recognition would be automatic.
Any ideas?

Can you open them in Preview?

Cannot import RAW into Lightroom 4 (Sony@500)

I am unable to import my RAW files into Lightroom 4. My camera is a Sony Alpha 500 DSLR.
All reasearch I've done online hasn't resulted in any help. Has anyone else had this issue?

Welcome to the forum.
Give a little more info. Are you trying to import direct from the camera, from a card reader, or are the files on your hard drive.
If you are getting a message that the files "could not be read" it is possible that you may be trying to copy the files to a location where you may not have full permission to read and write.
Your camera is listed as supported.
Are you updated to the latest version of LR 4.4?

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 RAW files from CANON 40D to Lightroom 1.2

My color setup in 40D is sRGB
my system is windows XP
but when I want to import files from my CF card
it will show the message: some import operation were not performed.
the files use an unsupported color mode.
pls tell me how to solve this problem~

Sorry for the above post. My daughter hit the keyboard. I am having the same trouble and I have tried shooting in Standard Raw and with the attached Jpg. I get a message that states it is a unsupported color format. Any ideas? It sounds like everyone else has got this to work but it simply will not work for me. I am running Vista if that makes a difference.

Cannot import RAW files from Nikon D70

I have an iMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.2. When I try to import to iPhoto '08 from my Nikon D70, I get a message that says "The volume for DSC-xxxx.NEF cannot be found." The program then stalls and I have to force quit to get out of it. This happens whether trying to import photos from a card reader or from a desktop folder. I've tried re-installing both iPhoto and NIkon software to no avail. Any suggestions?

tervguy
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

Canon 5D Mark II cannot import RAW .CR2 Files

For some reason I can no longer import my .CR2 files from my Canon 5D MarkII. This is a new problem as I have had Aperture for some time now. Is there a way to go back to an earlier RAW processor? This latest one from May may be causing the issue... Any guidance?

Sorry, in Aperture it just comes up with a list of files that it could not import.
No error message or any information at all?
When I try to get them into iPhoto it says that they are an unsupported file.
I thought they were in iPhoto already.
I am trying to get the files from my laptop on iphoto to my imac on Aperture. I am doing this via the network. On once side I tried a direct iphoto import (did not work) and then tried to do it pointing at the actual CR2 files and that did not work.
You should just copy the iPhoto library over to the iMac and then run Aperture and import the iPhoto library. Doing this over the network is just making your life harder. Or else install Aperture on the laptop do the import there and copy the Aperture library over.
