Cant Importing video with superdrive

I have alwase used the firewire to import with without problems,I reciently tried to import with the superdrive and also to drag and drop video folders without success. I know the answer must be obovious but not to me. thanks for helping. Hardhead

The files on a DVD are in the final (standard) DVD format of mpeg2, which is heavily condensed and not intended for editing. It therefore involves some quality loss to import those files, convert them, and import them into iMovie. But it can be done:
Insert the DVD in your superdrive, and double click the icon. You now have a folder containing lots of odd sounding files.
You need to convert those VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
(Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
Once they are converted to DV you can import them into iMovie.

Cant import video from files

I am trying to put a video into I tunes from the computer files. I tried what it sayds in the help section and nothing works. I cant find it no where into the Itunes library or files. Is there something that should be set so it will go into the Itunes or is this just a way for apple to make money.

'i have downloaded iMovie 9.0.2
Did you install iMovie?
Exactly what happens when you try to upload from your camera? Did you read your cam user manual?
Have you tried using iPhoto?
If you did not repair permissions and restarted your computer after installing iMovie, do so now.

Hey Bakak,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you keep getting a message to authorize your computer when trying to transfer applications to your iPhone. Here is an article on things that may cause this. I suspect that the section "Authorize using the correct account name" may be most relevant. It is possible that you have multiple Apple IDs and iTunes accounts.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

Importing video into adobe premiere elements11

why cant i import video from my sony handycam dcr-dvd 403, into adobe premiere elements 11, for editing purposes? The software is not even reckonizing that the camers is connected to the computer.

jerome cole
I will await your review of initial post where I suggested ripping VOBs from the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc in Premiere Elements 11 Windows. I still think that is the preferred approach for what your described.
You might be interested in this online article that I came across just now in which someone with your brand and model camera presented the same type of issue.

Final Cut Express 3.5 on 10.5.8 not capturing or importing video

I bought FCE with my Mac Pro in 2006, but never used it because iMovie HD 6 did everything I needed. Now, it looks like my HD 6 is having some serious problems and I can't find support or a replacement. So, I whipped out my FCE ver 3.5 and install it on my 2006 Mac Pro, now running 10.5.8... everything went fine, except I cant capture video from my Canon Vixia HV30, nor can I import .m4v or .mov files??? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

HDV cameras can be a bit tricky as FCE can see them as two different cameras ie. DV or HDV.
FCE must be setup to receive one or the other.
If you shot HDV and are outputting HDV then use the 1440x 1080i Easy Setup.
There is a 50 and 60 choice corresponding to PAL or NTSC respectively.
Note: If you change an Easy Setup you need to create a New Project/Sequence.
Changing the Easy Setup only affects new not existing.

FCP HD cant see video NO WHERE!!!

Ok here it is last night I imported video in, and now today I went to start working on it and now I cant see nothing, no video at all. I reinstalled my FCP but nothing. When I put clips into my time line all I see is black, but I can hear the sound. I played it throught the camera but nothing. I opened up another project that was working that I looked at the night before to check on somthing, and today I can't see it. If I double click on the clip in the time line it comes up where I can edit it (like speed and what not) and it will play but its slow. Can anybody help me, this is a hot job that has to be done in like 2 days. HELP PLEASE!!! I NEED MY FCP ASAP!!!!!! :'(

First thing to do is select your canvas and press the w key and see if your picture pops up. Or click up the little pulldown and select Image or Image + Wireframe (not just Wireframe).
If that doesn't help, borrowing from the ever popular Shane's Stock answers:
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the FILE menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
5) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
6) Cycle power to the deck or camcorder
7) Shut down the Mac and then restart (couple this with cycling power to the deck or camcorder)
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Having trouble importing videos into iPhoto

Yesterday I restored my iMac, after backing up all my photos and videos in iPhoto to a hard drive, using File > Export in iPhoto.
I've just tried to import all the photos and videos back into iPhoto after restoring, but I cant import the videos.
I keep geting a message saying the following files could not be imported with a list of all my videos.
the file types are a mixture of AVI, MP4, and MOV.
Im not sure where im going wrong,
thanks

to backup up your iPhoto library you must drag it intact as a single entity to an external drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - exporting photos does not back up your library - only your photos - and exporting video only gives you a preview of the first frame unless you expor the original
Unless you have a backup of your iPhoto library you probably have lost yru videos

Importing Video Files from DVD and the net onto final cut express 4

2 questions:
1st: Ive imported a video file downloaded from the net to practice editing, but once I have done that, the video file has no audio? how do I get the audio for those files?
2nd: I had ripped some video files from my university film project onto my laptop, but I cant Import the files into final cut express to further edit it (because it was a group project), because its the wrong format and stuff. How do I fix this and allow it to be imported?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers

ohk cool, wat about my first problem with the sound not being imported?
Most likely the file is multiplexed. That means the audio and video are rolled into one. Same thing applies as the other post, the file needs to be in a format that FCE recognizes. Streamclip may do it, depending on the type of file of course.

Any issues you are having in iMovie should be posted in its forum area.

How to import video frames as layers in Photoshop?

How to import video as layers in PhotoshopCS3. When I press "Import Video Frames To Layers", an error message pops up: Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required." I've already installed and updated QuickTime Player, but this message persists. I'm currently running QuickTime version 7.7.5. Thank you for your help.

Thank you R_Kelky for your reply.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I do see the QuickTimeGlue.dll file as you stated.
I have actually found a solution to my question. Since QuickTime 7.7.5 might be too new, I tried installing QuickTime 7.1 and the message went away. But now I run into a new problem: only .avi and a few .mov files can be uploaded correctly. When I try to upload other common video formats like .mp4, .m4v, etc, then the layers just come out as black, white, and sometimes green layers. The preview window where I drag the range length of video I want to import as layers is also blank as black, white, or sometimes green. You have any ideas what's causing this? At times, I cant even see the preview, I just get a new error message: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the file name was not valid."
Thank you for your help.

Premiere CS6 Hangs when Importing Video from P2 Camera

I just bought Premiere CS6. I am a Final Cut Pro refugee, running Mac OS Snow Leopard.
So far (day 1) I am having three serious problems, one major, one less so, and one intermediary.
First, when I try to import video off my P2 camera using the Media Browser, Premiere hangs. When I force quit, a dialog box briefly pops up saying that a "serious error" has occured. If I can't load my video into Premiere, this is a serious problem.
Is this a known issue?
Second, when I view the contents of my P2 card in the media browser, the order of the clips is totally jumbled.
If I can get the media browser import function to work, is there a way to view the clips in the order in which they were shot?
Third, I tried to "ingest" my clips through Prelude, which just copied the whole arcane folder structure of the P2 card onto my local hard disk. I could do this in the Mac OS Desktop and I really don't see the point of Prelude. I would rather not navigate the arcane P2 folder structure, and I need something that will take my video out of Panasonic's .mxf wrapper file.
I've noticed that I can drag the .mxf files directly into Premiere, but is there a way to import my video that will also extract the files from the .mxf wrapper, so that I can also open the files in other software?
I downloaded the Premiere CS6 updater but it didn't help.
Together, these issues represent serious defects that cripple my ability to use this software.

Im have the exact same issue with the importing or P2 files and premere crashing/ hagingup, i on the other hand have been using adobe for over 4 years and never had this issue, i still have CS5 on comp and there are no problems there, kinda silly i cant use CS6 for work....
so what did you exactly do to fix issue??
also i know exactly what porblem u are running into with the aspect ratio problems, been an issue for as long as i have been working with adobe premere and HVX, and i can help u there, simply dont use DVCproHD sequence if you are going to DVD just do a DV widscreen sequence and all the ratio problems will fix when u go to encore. or use DVCproHD sequence but drop the entire sequence you worked on into a DV widscreen sequence or an HDV sequence and resize acordingly (make lager or smaler so fits properly in 16/9) the problem is some of the P2 cameras are not a true 16/9 there like 15/9 or somthing, its odd, anyway thats what i do, it doesnt really ad much time and it workes
Dear adobe plp if you read this, then you know about problem importing, whatever he did dosnt seem like you should have to do that... any questions feel free to contact me.

Playing imported video with button

So I'm working on a project that requires me to click a transparent button in the Flash presentation and have an imported video appear, play, and then disappear. I've scoured the internet but can't for the life of me find what I'm looking for. Would someone be willing to give me a hand. I'm new to Flash and this honestly sounds easy enough but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
Thanks

Hi,
I have the same issue with my video clips mixed with photos in the iPhoto Library!
Is there really no possibility to show them in a mixed mode with FrontRow?
@Apple: Cant' you update FrontRow with this feature?
The only application I found for that issue is Photeo Presenter!
