Clip import only 1 second long. WHY?

WHen I first tried to import my half hour clip, it cut out the beginning for some reason. Then I changed something in the preferences, and the clip is only importing as 1 second long now!
Does anyone know why this could be happening? How do i fix it? PLEASE help

This is not Adobe. We are Premiere Elements users trying to help other Premiere Elements users.
I will get back to the actual preview files produced during the Timeline content render, but first I would like to start with the basics of your workflow with this choppy play back.
1. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? What do your computer resources look like? Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card? Do you have more than one video card in your computer?
2. How and what are you importing into this project that yields the choppy previews of rendered Timeline content? What are the properties of these source media...video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file size, pixel aspect ratio. What camera is this video coming from? Or do you have videos and stills on this Timeline?
More later.
Thanks.
ATR
3. Based on your source media properties, what are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog?

IMovie only imports first 10 seconds of video clip which is 14 seconds long

I have a Samsung HMX20 camcorder, and when I import a few of the clips, which are around 14 seconds long, into iMovie, I only get about 10 seconds imported into my project (so basically I don't get the end of the clip). What's going on?

It looks like your _High Definition Samsung SC-HMX20_ is NOT listed as supported by iMovie '09.

The only camera listed is the _Standard Definition Samsung SC-MX20_

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
How can I change this? Why does this happen? I really need to know as soon as possible. I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr. But I can learn VERY FAST!)
Thanks for your help.

Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
Good luck,

Why is my exported file 2 seconds longer than the project in my timeline

I am using a Mac, latest OSX. I need my project to run at exactly 30minutes. In the timeline my project is marked at exactly 30 minutes from the in/out points. When I export the media with Premier Pro I end up with a final product which is 30 minutes and 2 seconds long. Where are these two extra seconds coming from? I had my source range set for Sequence in/out points and this read as 30 miutes exactly, and the predicted output time for the final export read as 30 minutes exactly as well. This still added two extra seconds so I then set the source range to custom and typed in 30minutes exactly and it is STILL giving me 2 extra seconds. What is going on here?
Export settings summary reads as follows
1920x1080 (1.0)
23.976 fps
Progressive
00:30:00:00
VBR
1 pass
Target 0.19 Mbps
Max 0.19 Mbps
AAC
320 kbps
48 kHz
Stereo

Because within Premiere Pro, your are reading the total running time based on Non-drop frame timecode.
Depending on which version of Quicktime you are using you can click on the counter and change the value of the numbers displayed:
where Standard is real time. If you switch it Non Drop, you'll see it will display the length (incorrectly) as 30 minutes.
If you are using Quicktime 10 I believe you can only display real time.
This is all because your video is running at 23.976 frames per second. That means it is running slightly slower than real time, which would be true 24fps. Over the period of 30 minutes, this slow frame playback is making the show run longer by two seconds.
This why in NTSC 29.97 and 59.94 video there is drop and non-drop timecode. Drop frame timecode drops timecode numbers over time to compensate for the difference that the video rate is slightly slower than real time.
In drop frame, when you have a duration of 30 minutes, it coresponds to real time 30 minutes.
In non-drop timecode, when you have a duration indicating 30 minutes it will actually take slightly longer to playout.
There is not a standard for 24fps drop frame timecode, it is always non-drop. You can't switch to drop frame timecode if your sequence frame rate is 23.976 or 24fps.
The math:
If you had 30 minutes of footage running at 24 fps - 24fps X 60 = 1440 frames in a minute, 1440 x 30 = 43200 frames in the show. (So non-drop TC, which counts the frames without regard to the true playback rate, displays a duration of 30 minutes)
But since the video, is, in fact, running slightly slower, at 23.976, those 43200 frames take longer to play out by .024 frame per second of real time. So 43200 (your total show amount of frames) divided by 23.976 (the playout per second frame rate) = 1801.801802 seconds, which is 30 minutes, 1.8 seconds.
Avid used to ( and maybe still does) come with a calculator to make this conversion and to help make the frame count = the desired running time.
It should be noted that within commercial production, with durations of 30 or 60 seconds, this whole mess is less apparent. It only shows up when you work with program length material. This is why they invented drop frame timecode.
A solution is to tighten up the edit by 1.8 seconds over 30 minutes

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

Only Portion of Clip Importing

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Premiere doesn't like this clip.
I'm trying to deinterlace several DV clips. The deinterlacer I'm using is through AviSynth (and VirtualDub), and I'm converting the DV footage to Lagarith. This deinterlacer converts the 29.97 fps to 59.94. So anyway, I'm working with six clips of varying lengths. They all convert fine, and work properly when I import them into Premiere except for one. That one, no matter what I try, always imports only the first 2 and half minutes and that's it. I tried the conversion with audio and without, converting the frame rate within VirtualDub back to 29.97... nothing works. No matter what, the video only imports 2.5 min. Now, if I import the original DV footage it works fine. But for the life of me I can't figure out why the other five clips work fine, but this one refuses. They were all captured at the exact same time with the exact same settings.
Ideas?

I think I got it fixed. For some reason, even though in VirtualDub, the frame rate was set to Current (59.94) Premiere wasn't liking the outcome. I had to set the change the rate to 59.94 and it took. Still weird Premiere liked the other files, but found this one to be a problem. Oh well.

Clips are uploading one second long

Hi, I am just setting up a vhs to dv conversion, I have a Canon Elura 100 which has av to dv capability. I can open iMovie HD, and when I click on the import button, or hit the space bar, the picture will appear, but often it is just a still, or a clip 1 second long. then it stops. I got a clip as long as 3 seconds once, that was it. I have been able to shoot dv and upload easily, but so far the vhs to digital conversion is not going well and I have a huge pile of tapes that need converting. The help menu told me to take the batteries out of the camera, and reset the time and date, which I did, but no dice. I can see the video in the camera screen, and I can see it and hear it briefly on the computer screen in iMovie HD but they clips keep cutting short. Any ideas out there? Thanks.

Hi Jeffrey - John refers to maybe not putting a tape in your camera. Actually, the reason is that iMovie HD has a bug. As I recall, unlike iMovie 4 where you could achieve a pass-through without a tape, period, now with iMovie HD you have to make the connection with a tape in the camera, and once made, the tape can be removed. There may be a problem with the camera wanting to revert to Standby mode.
[It's a while since I have done any of this, so my recollection may be shaky. Others may wish to modify what I have said!].
Actually it may be simpler just to copy first to DV tape, and then import that to iMovie. Doubling the time but simpler!

DV tape imported as one long clip

I am importing all my DV tapes via my Sony DV camera to archive them. Most tapes are being split into clips correctly (with correct dates) but some tapes are imported as one long clip with the current date. Why are they one long clip and why is the date the current date (I assume these issues are related)?

Not sure this is related but I had the same problem when I was importing from my Sony HDRSR5 hard drive camera.
Went back and re-imported and it worked fine.
Then on my Sony HVR-A1 I had one event split into 2 different dates.
Never had a problem with iM6
I wonder if it has to do with how slow the input feed is.
I noticed on this tape the feed lagged by several minutes.

TS4062 I can't see videos I have taken on my ipad either in iCloud or when I sync my ipad to my macbookpro (both are up to date) I can only see photos? The videos are only few seconds long?

I can't see videos i have taken on my ipad in the iCloud all synced as i can see the still photos i have taken but not the videos. The videos are only a few seconds long. I have also tried syncing via USB cable from iPad to my Macbookpro and it wont sync either the photos or the videos in iTunes I have re checked the sync set up in itunes bt still nothing?
Any ideas would be appreciated

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Downloaded a cd and the songs are only 1 minute 30 seconds long. what do I do?

I downloaded an entire cd of 15 songs and when I went to listen to them, each song was only a minute and 30 seconds long. They were just like the samples. I paid $9.99 for the cd and the amount was immediately deducted from my account. What do I have to do to get the full versions of the songs without being charged again for them??

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773

This and similar incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix movies are adaptive and vary their quality according to your connection and can be as low as 0.5 Mbps.
But remember lower datarates = lower quality.

'''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
In IE:

Import only new clips from previously-imported Mini DV tape

Is there a way to import only the new clips that have been captured since the last import when a Mini DV (tape-based) camcorder is the source?
I’m using a iMovie 8.0.3 with my Canon Elura 100 and it imports clips fine in Automatic mode when I’m capturing the whole tape. However, if I’ve already imported part of the tape before, iMovie appears to re-import all of the previous clips plus the new ones. And, I’m also now in a situation where it doesn’t seem to have imported the new clips from a previously used tape that I started to tack new clips onto the end of.
I don’t get enough time to sit in front of iMovie to sort out what’s going on, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So there’s no way to use the Automatic mode, and for iMovie to skip over already-imported clips? Or recognize that a clip has been imported already, and prompt whether to continue to actually import it or not?
I ask merely because, given the length of a DV tape, this kind of thing probably happens regularly. And iPhoto, for example, understands when images have previously been imported.
If there is no such feature, I’m willing to submit it as a feature request. However, given the direction DV tape is going (despite its benefits), I don’t see this as something that will be implemented. All the new media have random access.

Clip import only 1 second long. WHY?
