Direct Ingest from cards in-camera feature needed

As has been noted in another thread, Prelude can NOT "see" the files on cards in a camera connected to a computer. So you have to take the card out of the camera and put it into a card-reader attached to the computer before you can ingest the files. Strange behavior, as of course ... as noted in the other thread ... Bridge can see and copy files from a camera tethered to the computer. The two programs share many analoguous feature-sets between them for similar use with different file types, but it is very odd this one was left out of Prelude.
Especially think of the way many of us use camera rigs that enclose dslr/mft/compact video cameras these days: you have to break down the rig OR take the camera out of it to get to the card-slots on the camera. DEUCED un-handy when you may very well be able to have the camera tethered to a computer while shooting.
So I sent the following wish-form request over to Adobe ...

Allow the Ingestion screen to see camera files in cameras tethered to the computer.
I'd like to be able to connect my cameras to the computer, and have Prelude's "Ingest" operation be able to "see" those files and ingest them just as if they were in a card-reader or on the computer's hard-drives.
It would save time in especially field-work situations and allow for quicker loading/viewing of the files when working in a tethered situation whether remote or in-studio. We wouldn't have to break-down a camera in a rig JUST to get the card out and load a file or two into a laptop for checking them.
Currently, many field-rigs for DSLR's, Micro-Four Thirds and such cameras cover the card-access slots of the cameras. We have to either take apart the rig or take the camera off the rig to get the card out to load the files into Prelude.
Bridge can already do this, why can't Prelude?

Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

How to upload photos from computer to camera memory card?

I want to copy a few select photos and AVI files from the Organizer back to a new camera memory card.

A new message was posted by Colin Walls:
how to upload photos from computer to camera memory card:
Open Organizer. Then open Windows Explorer [My Computer] and navigate to the memory card "drive." Drag the images from Organizer to the memory card.
Dear Colin Walls:
Thanks for your excellent tip. It works just as you said. The WHY I want to do this is:
when I want to print a lot of pictures, I take my memory card to Longs Drug store and use their "machine." Naturally, I want to have all the photos I need on the card.
A few days ago at Longs, I edited about 75 photos of a recent family reunion from my 512MB SD card taken with my Canon PowerShot A510. I ended up ordering 198 4x6 prints. My daughter had several good reunion photos on her digital camera. She e-mailed me seven photos as attachments, thus they were on my computer, but not on my memory card, until I started dragging as per the hint from Colin Walls.
Windows Explorer shows the file structure on the card as one DCIM folder, with subfolders 155 CANON, 156 CANON, 157 CANON, 158 CANON, and CANONMSC. I proceeded to drag each my daughter's seven photos from PS Elem. 4 Organizer to the folder 158 CANON, except that I dragged one to the folder CANONMS, by mistake.
The good news is that Longs machine and PS Elem. 4 both see ALL the photos on the card. The bad news is that my camera does not see the added photos, nor does the Canon ZoomBrowser 3.2 and 5.5 programs,nor the Picasa2 program.
Thanks Colin. Gary Docherty

Ingest from camera

Can I Ingest from this camera, Nikon D600 .mov files via tethered USB to iMac? Lr & Br (Downloader) can see the camera and all the files inside, but, I don't see the camera in Prelude.
Thank You

Michael,
Currently Win7 can "see" the D600, both the sd cards in it, and can "read" from them through the USB port of the camera. It shows the thumbnails for both still and video, and in stills, both the Nikon 'nef' files and jpegs. Double-click a still, it pops up in whatever the computer is set to 'read' that format in, whether the windows picture-viewer (jpegs) or actually, as I've the codecs loaded, even my nef files.
I must amend my comments about Bridge ... it can see the cards on the D600, and shows them in it's "finder" sort of window including name ... but can't display the thumbs nor open/move the files. Interesting ... it see's there's something there but that's all.
Yes, the Panny GH3 is the other camera. And here today ... dang but I have to admit I've misplaced both the funky small USB-ended cord and the hdmi cord that are SUPPOSED to be in the camera bag. So I can't even connect the durn thing ... and ... what in the world did I do with those cords? Haven't used them in a long time ... blast it all. Probably have to grab new ones. Silly, you know. One always has a gazillion discontinued cords laying around.
And that one, by recollection, shows up in Win7's windows just fine, tested that as soon as I got the camera. Near a year ago now. If I could get my hands on those cords I've have a more worthwhile answer. Tomorrow, I hope.

How can I move pictures from my media card from my SLR camera to my IPAD

How can I move pictures from my media card from my SLR camera to my IPAD2 without my iMac?

The Camera Connection Kit only accepts SD cards. Does your SLR use an SD card?

Can't directly deactivate from old computer, but need Acrobat on new computer...

My old computer died due to a faulty power cord/port issue... I can't power it up to deactivate my Adobe Acrobat directly from that computer. I need it on my new computer and I have the serial number. How do I do this without accessing the old computer? Thanks for any help.

Hi Susan U,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.
Regards,
Rajshree

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

Is it possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sle

Hello
My girlfriend and I are going to South America. Therefore, I am not only looking for a MP3-player, but also a place to store photos. The Zen Sleek court my attention.
Though, I would like to know whether it is possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sleek? Does it require any extra cables or software? Or is it only possible to store photos through a ordinary computer and then transfer photos to the harddisc on the Zen Sleek?
Regards
Mads Lyngby Petersen

Short answer, I've never seen anyone try it.
Long answer, it might be possible using one of these USB bridge devices. Some of these devices are supposed to be able to bridge between a camera and a USB mass storage device, and then deal with hosting the connection and moving/copying the files.
I would be intruiged to know if someone's managed it, but as mentioned so far I've not seen anyone mention it.

My iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do???

in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
with the carrier this is called a sim lock
the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years

I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
Thank you @dj_paige

Need help with the new Multi-cam feature in CC

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Multi-cam feature in CC and have a few questions, so would be happy with help/advice for any of the issues below. The platform is Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
The first question is what am I doing wrong? This question relates to the fact I'm trying to use Multi-cam and encountering a lot of frustrating glitches, as sometimes it seems to work and at others it doesn't.
The video I'm trying to edit comes from a dance show so I created a sequence called Act 1. I then highlighted the six clips of Act 1 with Cam 01 at the top, as I wanted the audio from this clip and made a Multi-cam feature using the audio synch. I dragged it to the sequence, set the prog window to Multi-cam and was amazed at how well it had synchronised all clips, as I could see all six clips with great audio synch from Cam 01. So far so good and after thinking how brilliant it was, things went downhill from there
I started by using ripple delete to drag to the start of Act one and then tried editing with Multi-cam. That's where I encountered the first problem, as sometimes it seemed to toggle between cams but didn't put edit points in and the selected cam had a yellow border and not a red one. At other times it inserted edit points when I changed cams and the selected cam has a red border. I can't work out what I'm doing, or not doing for this to happen. Can anyone help please?
The second question is how do I cut audio and video at exactly the same point, as I want to edit out pauses in between the different elements of the actual dance show. When I use the razor tool in Multi-cam it only cuts the video. I tried highliting audio and video using shift, but to no effect. If it matters audio and video are shown as linked when I right click. I thought I might get it to work if I revealed all original clips within the MC nest using the technique shown in "Adobe Learn." This was Ctrl double click, but it resulted in the third problem.
When I tried Ctrl double click I ended up with only Cam 02 showing in the V2 track and after some frustrating attempts at resolving this issue I decided to start all over again. I deleted the PP project and created a new one, importing everything again. I followed exactly the same procedure as I originally did to create a Multi-cam nest, but when I dragged it to the new sequence I saw Cam 02 in V2 of the sequence, which is the same as it was before I deleted the original project. Premiere Pro seems to have annoyingly remembered the actions that went wrong, so please can anyone tell me how to tell Premiere Pro not to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me on any of the issues.

In Premiere Pro, multi-camera is accomplished by nesting a sequence. There's a new, more automated way of doing this in CC. View the steps here: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/04/a-quick-walkthrough-of-editing-a-multi-camera-s equence-with-clips-synchronized-by-audio.html
HOWEVER, you must be warned that multi-cam in CC is currently broken. A patch is in the works, but until it is released you should not use multi-cam in CC.

What is a SiM card and do I need one in order to send email from my iPad?

What is a SIM card and do I need one in order to be able to send email from my iPad?

For further detail, a SIM card is a very small, thin, printed circuit card which you insert into a tiny drawer in your mobile device. It is your mobile/cellular account, with your personal details on it. So you can move it from one device to another. Before smartphones (like the iPhone), SIM cards also contained your Contact list. Since smartphones contain so much information now, the SIM card just identifies you to the cellular/mobile network. It means you can carry your phone number with you from one phone to another.
You can get a SIM card for iPad from any Apple Store or phone shop. Note that the newer iPhones and the iPads use what's called a "micro-SIM", which is smaller than a regular SIM card, so it takes up less room inside the phone, and they can stick more hardware in there for better performance. Make sure you ask for a "micro-SIM for iPad".
As Rudegar says, you don't need a SIM in your iPad if you always have WiFi access. But if you need to send email or messages outside a WiFi network, then you need a SIM, so you can access the cellular/mobile phone tower network.
You can get prepaid SIM cards which give you so much data for a certain period of time. You need to decide how much data you need, and how often you want to "recharge" it. The salespeople should be able to help you work that out.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

Unable to transfer photos (jpeg) from desktop to SD card. Appears as if successful then does not show up when put SD card in camera.

Unable to transfer photos (jpeg) from desktop to SD card for Cannon Power shot camera.
Appears as if successful, jpegs show up in SD card window, but they do not show up when I put SD card in camera.
Go through entire process to no avail. SD card is not locked.
Thank You

Ahh, extra info ahead...
Pictures on SD card, SanDisc-SDHC, 4GB Card, are jpeg. The ones I would like to put on the card are jpeg as well.
SD format MS-DOS (FAT32) .
3.876 GB available on card.
I have
Exported the pics from iPhoto to the desktop. Inserted sd card into side of iMac. The icon of card popped up.
Attempts to no avail:
1)   Dragged the photos to the disk icon for the sd card.
2)   Dragged pictures into the DCIM folder (where all photos taken on camera resided).
3)   Created new folder. Put photos from desktop into folder and dragged ne folder inside DCIM -since pictures taken at different times had their own folders inside the DCIM folder.
Every time the photos/files end up showing up on the sd card as long as it is in my computer but when ejected and inserted into my camera, all imported photos/jpeg file are gone.
Hmmmmm
