CC 2014 Imported MP4 clips no longer work

I had been working on a project in CC and it contained several MP4 clips. These work fine and have video and audio.
Yesterday, I updated CC Pro to CC Pro 2014.
I opened the project in 2014 and it told me I needed to convert the project file to the new format which I did.
Now, within 2014 all the MP4 clips show as "Media Offline".
If I try and import a new MP4 into the project within 2014, I get a message "File Import Failure - the file has no audio or video streams".
Fortunately, I still have the Pro CC version still installed and the MP4s are still fine in that version.
Within the Creative Cloud application, it lists my three installed apps (Premiere Pro CC, Premiere Pro CC (2014), Media Encoder CC (2014)) and says they are all up to date.
I am running Windows 8.1
I would be grateful for any suggestions?
Thanks
Glenn

I just exported a MP4 video from within CC 2014 and then imported it back into CC 2014 and it worked fine.
Looking at the codec information for what did and didn't work:
Clips that fail
Codec: mp4v
Name: MPEG-4 Video
Clips that work
Codec: avc1
Name: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

Import form cam no longer works after Update to iLife 09

Hi, I've updated to iLife 09 and installed the most recent patches. With iLife 08 my Fujifilm Finepix F30 was recognized by my mac book pro, iPhoto starded up an the contet of the cam was presented for import as soon as I connected it by USB. With iLife 09 all this no longer works. iPhote is fired up but nothing else happens but that iPhote freezes so the only thin I an do is to kill it ... now it's more or less useless for me
Please help !
TIA

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Imported MP4 clip from my HD will not thumbnail

I created a new project then imported an MP4 clip from my HD as a new event but it does not thumbnail. When the event is selected the event window says "video not found" The same clip playsjust fine on Quicktime. I tried closing iMovie and reopening to no avail. I also tried deleting and reimporting. It still says video not found and I cannot drag the event into the project window.

I have the same camera, and I have imported mp4 videos at 30p successfully into iMovie 9.09.
However, I'm running Mavericks (10.9.1), and I pull the SDHC card from the camera and plug it into the slot in the back of the Mac. I did consider importing directly from the camera, but to do that you have to put the camera into Playback mode, select the AVCHD playback, and only then connect to the Mac via USB; if the camera doesn't give you dire warnings after the USB connection, iMovie won't be able to import anything: See http://www.amazon.com/review/R2KMTEI2HV1E8M/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1 The camera import dialog in iMovie 9.09 has a dropdown menu at the bottom of the dialog on the left allowing you to choose the AVCHD or MP4 selections from the camera.
I'm now moving to iMovie 10 which while it has its problems and editing is not very intutitive, is much faster at importing from the camera and exporting the edited movie. I use mChapters from the App Store to add chapters to the exported movie (after changing the exported file suffix from mp4 to m4v in the Finder). So for my purposes, I can pretty much use iMovie 10 for the same applications as I did with 9.09.
As suggested earlier on this Thread, upgrading to Mavericks and at least iMovie 9.09 will likely allow you to use your camera as you wish. iMoive 10 will give you expanded options with the camera.

Import mp4 clip into imovie project

Thought I could drag and drop - but it's not working. Original clip was filmed with the movie setting on my regular digital camera as a .mov file extension. I think I was told I needed to convert to mp4, which I did with isquint. Still can't put the clips into imovie. What am I doing wrong?

Thought I could drag and drop - but it's not working.
Where are you trying to drop the files? "Drag 'n drop" only works if you drop the file on an "Event Name" in the Event Library list and not directly to an Event window. Of course, the audio and video compressed data must be compatible.

Importing problems - clips are longer than source - grayed out.

I am trying to import a movie clip (.MOV) that is only 30 seconds long. When it imports into iMovie, the whole clip is there, but it is over 9 minutes long and the extra 8:30 is filled with gray and no sound. I have no idea why this is - I have tried with many such clips multiple times, with the same results. It is very frustrating!
If anyone knows the solution, or the reason, please let me know!
Thanks,
AlwaysApple

I see, you are using a Kodak still camera. Perhaps it's best to use iPhoto.
Also take a look a the links below, I don't think your camera is supported in iMovie '09
Here is a list of supported devices:

Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

Split clip no longer working

Hello Apple Community,
I would really appreciate the help. I am half way through editing a wedding video and my split clip function just stopped working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you for the help!

This is happening to me as well, Keith.
Airport Utility can not discover the Airport Express. I've reinstalled AU, as well as pulling the Airport Express from power and plugging it back in. I have not "reset" it yet, as I'm hoping there is a solution without having to lose all my Wifi settings.
Anyone got an answer?

Import via firewire no longer working

Hi,
I'm using iMovie 10.0.2, and trying to import from a Sony DCR-TRV320E camcorder over firewire into my late 2010 13" Macbook Pro under Mavericks. Everything is up to date software wise as of today.
This setup worked fine under Lion (I skipped mountain lion), and with the previous version of iMovie. I'd plug it in, go into import, and set it pulling in the contents of the tape - with no issues. It was really slick.
Trying it with my current setup, everything looks like it's working fine, i.e. I connect everything together, start the import, the camcorder starts up, video and audio show on my Macbook fine. When the import finishes though, theres no video file to be found anywhere. I've searched on the hard drive, and withing iMovie. I tried creating another user account on my Macbook and doing it from iMovie in there, and again, import starts, video and audio play, but when import finishes there's no movie file anywhere.
Help! Any ideas, pointers or troubleshooting steps would be gratefully revceived! It's frustrating the pants off me.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Very frustrating!

I started with iMovie 10, so I don't have an old iMovie 9 folder to go back to. I guess I'm just stuck waiting for 10.0.3...

Importing Photos function no longer working

I'm currently on the trial run of Adobe Story.
Is there a limit as to how photos can be imported into a multi-column AV format. I've added 59 photos to my script and I don't know why I can't upload anymore photos into the system.
I tried deleting a larger file photo and replaced it with a smaller file size of the same photo but there is no change. I undid the delete and am not able to add images at this point.
Is there a workaround? Has this happened to anyone else?
I need help pretty quick. We are working on this script within the next day for a documentary.
Thanks,
Julia

The Send Again function does work if I first open the message I've already sent. Is that the way it's supposed to work? I used to be able to use the function after just highlighting the message in the list.

Effects with clips no longer work

After a few days with FCP X, all transitions and templates that use video clips as part of the effect, stopped working. Skimming the effects in the browser results in a blue screen.

I believe your suggestion is exactly right. I ended up tossing the whole Motion folder - which was probably empty except for those presets. I realized that some miscommunication between FCP X and Motion was involved, when the generators began reappearing in FCP X, once I opened a copy of one in Motion, but disappeared again, when I closed Motion.
I believe Apple was quite right to recommend putting the new versions on a separate startup volume, but getting rid of those presets was enough to get everything working again for me.
Thanks!

Aperture 3 file-level import from iPhoto no longer working

With Aperture-2 I was able to import photos from a (remote) iPhoto library (like on my wife's iMac). It showed the iPhoto events as folders, allowed me to unstack the edited ones -- it simply behaved like accessing photos in folders.
Using Import/Files… in Aperture-3 hides iPhoto libraries, so there is now way to access the pictures inside.
The option Import/Show iPhoto Browser… accesses my own (empty) iPhoto library. Ony if I double-click the remote iPhoto library, launching my local copy of iPhoto, I am able to see the remote pictures in the Aperture iPhoto browser. To import, I have to drag photos over to Aperture projects or albums.
This was much easier in Aperture-2 !!
Has anyone figured if this import method is still available in Aperture-3 ? Maybe I haven't found it yet.

I have the same problem the screen is show something like this:
And never stops and show any photo.
In other way i want to use it to create an slideshow that scroll the map showing the photos, it is possible?
An update soon to fix this problem...
Thanks...

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

MP4 import no longer working OS X (10.5.8)

Since the last round of updates, I can no longer import MP4 files ripped using HandBrake. We record our church services to DVD, then I use HandBrake to rip them, and iMovie to build our podcasts. HandBrake defaults to the extension M4V, which I have simply changed to MP4 in the past, and everything worked fine. Any ideas?

FIXED: How Can I Import .MP4 Video? Used to work...

EDIT: Okay, figured it out! Had to run Adobe updater, now I can import .mp4s from YouTube! wooot.
Hi, I was working on some mashups using videos I downloaded from YouTube (.mp4 format) in premiere and everything was going good, but had to reinstall my operating system for other reasons. I re-installed Premiere Pro CS4 too but when I opened up the project I was previously working on, it said I could not re-link to the .mp4 files. It said they were not supported and were different than the ones in the project - they are not.
I noticed that I could no longer properly import .MP4s downloaded from YouTube, only the audio track is imported.
I have had success converting the .mp4s to .movs using QuickTime pro, those .movs work, but if possible I'd like to do away with this step.
Any help is appreciated.
I remember back in the day using Premiere 5.0 in 2003 I could import any format I wanted to do mashups, ahh those were the good old days
Thanks in advanced for any help

>had to reinstall my operating system
The program I use to make a full system backup image is mentioned here http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM#SmartOwn
Make an image while everything is "perfect" and simply restore that image if needed
