Cannot import video file into LR5

I'm trying to import a video file (.vob) into LR5 do do some basic editing. When I point LR at the folder it cannot "see" the file and so will not import it.
Does LR look for specific file types? If so which ones?
Working in win7 64bit  and LR 5.2
Always had great help from user forums so I look forward to hearing from you guys
thanks

Generally, Lightroom supports video files from DSLR cameras and camcorders. Here is a full list of supported files:

  • Cannot import video files into FCP

    Every time I try to import a file (.mov , .mpg , .m4v) FCP gives me an error message reading "File Error: File Unknown" If I try and import through the drop down menu, the error reads "File Error: 1 file(s) Recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
    The only file that seems to work is a .avi
    This started happening when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Please Help

    Here's a couple solutions ...
    I had this problem this week as well. Suddenly I couldn't import any type of media into FCP. After trying a few things like reinstalling FCS 2 and talking to other people, I called up Apple Support. They walked me through a few more efforts to solve the issue or at least get an idea of what causes the problem.
    What we discovered is that when I created a new user profile for my iMac and logged into that profile, everything in Final Cut worked fine. I could import media with no problem. THUS, the issue seems to be connected to my computer profile. So I was presented with two options:
    Option 1: Create a new user profile and either migrate all my content over to it or simply edit from that profile.
    Option 2: The Nuclear Option. Back up all your content you don't want to loose, pop in your OS X disk, restart the computer holding C, and select the option to erase your hard drive and install OS X from scratch.
    I figured that after two years of a **** of a lot of editing and other work on this computer, it was time to just go for the Nuclear option and obliterate everything off of it and start fresh. Takes a while to do, but I've just confirmed that I'm able to import media again in FCP.
    So, sadly it's not a real simple option like deleting your preference files, like other FCP issues, but there is way to clear up this issue. The important thing to note here is that reinstalling FCP didn't work for me, and doing an Archive Install of OS X which still keeps my user profile essentially intact also keep the problem intact and solves nothing.
    Now, if you have to get a project your editing out the door right away, just create a new profile and get busy editing. But once that project is done, or if you have the time right now, I think the best option is the Nuclear Option. Back your stuff up and then clear your hard drive out and start anew.
    I hope that helps guys. I know how crazy I was going not finding anything on a forum to help me out.

  • Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

    Hi this is my first post on this site.
    I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
    No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
    When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
    Please help!

  • Importing video files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

    I own a Sony Handycam DCR-SX63.  When I import the movies I have taken onto my PC (Vista) they are .MPG files.  When I import these files into Premiere Pro CS3 the video portion imports but the audio of that file does not.  I have read all I can find and nothing seems to answer my question directly.  I tried an encoder to see if maybe Premiere doesn't accept .MPG files.  I converted it to .AVI file and tried to import and that gave me audio with no video.  I tried opening the new project with a dozen different settings offered up by Premiere but every one I tried gave me the same outcome when I tried to import my video file.
    Please. please. please help.  I am pulling my hair out.
    I appreciate any help given.
    Thanks

  • Problem importing video files into slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9

    I am able to import the files into my slideshow, but it won't let me save it.  It reports an error in saving.  Help!

    When converting the videos try decreasing the bitrate or changing the file type (perhaps to the iPod native .m4v)
    Other than that, you could try a different encoder, like iSquint (isquint.org). It's the one that I use and I even have a QT Pro license.

  • Cannot import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3

    Is it possible to import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3? I can't drag and drop them into iphoto folders without the "Unreadable Files" error. I have tried importing them through the iPhoto menu and still get the same results. I have tried importing the PDF files from several places such as my desktop because I wondered if the location of the original made a difference, but that doesn't seem to help. I didn't find anything when I searched for this problem here in the forum so I wondered if anyone else is having the same problems.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Morgan

    No because I had iPhoto 4 open and tried to run the Save PDF to iPhoto on a book in that library. I think it's just the different data structure, etc.. It's just not compatible with Automator or at least that particular workflow. I tried printing to PDF from V4 and then do the Save to iPhoto from Preview with V4 open and I still get the error message. So iPhoto 4 is just not compatible with that workflow.
    A workaround is to create a PDF file of the whole book and then manually save each page as a jpg file and import those. That's what I did for my first book. You could do a screen shot of each page in the preview mode and use those but the resolution will be limited to screen resolution, 72dip. You will get resolutions on the order of 150-200 dpi thru the Save As route in Preview or the Save to iPhoto automator method.
    I'm sure you could create an Automator workflow that would take the PDF file and save each page as a jpg file and name it sequentially. I'll have to take a closer look at Automator soon.

  • Cannot import .mov files into FCE

    I bought a new Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera to use to finish a video project because my right hand is in a cast and I cannot use my HD video camera. Unfortunately for me, I have a deadline to meet.
    I shot video at 720p and tried to import it into FCE 4.0.1 to edit using Log and Transfer and got the warning message, '"863_0156.MOV" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.' I also shot video at 1080p and, of course, cannot import it into FCE either using Log and Transfer.
    I am still a relatively new FCE user and would appreciate any suggestions you can give me. I looked in Tom's book (FCE 4 Editing Workshop)on page 73. Will Quicktime Pro 10 convert the files? If so what is the procedure?
    I have seen similar questions in this discussion forum on importing .mov files, but I haven't seen a solution that works for me. How can I convert the .mov files to get Log and transfer in FCE to accept them?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    This pocket camera record H.264. So the material as to be converted to a format supoported natively by FCE as Apple Intermediate Codec 1080. Search this forum with +MPEG streamclip+ keyword.

  • Possible To Import Video Files into iMovie and Retain Their Chapter Marking

    I've a couple of videos I'd like to use in an iMover for which I've already created chapter markers for in GarageBand. Is there any way to bring them into iMovie when I import the video?

    No. iMovie cannot import files with chapter markers.

  • Cannot import video files

    I recently moved videos from my old Dell to my MacBook through my external hard drive. I want to import my videos into iMovie for a movie I'm making, but it is telling me that it cannot read the files. The videos will play through Quicktime and even through iPhoto.
    What can I do to put them into iMovie? They are mostly MPG files.
    Thank you!

    I've downloaded mpeg streamclip to convert my mpg1 video from my digital camera to an mpg4 format so I can add this video to IMovie. How do I convert the video?

  • Importing video files into final cut express

    I am a pro tools engineer and have just dove into final cut express 4.0 to do some simple video editing.I have a cannon camera with a sd card.I archived the video to a hard drive so I could free up the card.I can not find a single piece of evidence that explains how I can import those files from my hard drive.Everything that is mentioned is comming from a camera.I also tried by the book importing a Imovie to start simple.No luck.It shows up in the directory but there is no video.Needless to say I am lost!!!!

    If you still have the original video on the memory card, put it back in the camcorder. (Don't try to copy it back from your Mac to the card, however.) Connect the camcorder to your Mac via USB and try capturing the video via FCE's Log & Transfer function.
    In most cases when people merely copy video files from a camcorder's memory stick or hard drive (usually AVCHD video) to the Mac desktop or a folder, they don't copy the full directory structure on the card, which is essential. Is that what you did when you 'archived' the video? Can you provide more specific info?
