DNG files wont import

I've been shooting with Hasselblad for a few years, the workflow is as follows.
Import 3fr direct into Lightroom or when shooting tethered direct into Phocus I export a dng from Phocus and import the dng into Lightroom.
Sometime ago (over a year ago) I was having the same problem, today it reared its sweet face again......  .
When I try and import dng files into lightroom I can seethe thumbnails in the import screen. When I try and import nothing hapens and I have to resatrt lightroom.
I've tried the following.
Import at the same location
Import and copy to a new location
Import and rename the files.
I’ve created a new set of DNG files from bridge and tried to import them.
I just downloaded 3.5rc , the problem remains.
Really need to get the files imported and on with work.
Thanks in advance  for a speedy answer.
Regards,
Patrick

Found a solution.
I have just run "Clean my Mac", things seem to be working again. It appears to have been someething perhaps in the Cache.
It is now importiing though.

  • Subtitle file wont import -why?

    Hello, going out of my mind here.
    I have a subtitle film "Subtitles_English.txt", which is laid out as such...

    for example,
    When I come to import the subtitle I get this error message:
    "No corresponding subtitles found.
    The video asset timecode may not correspond with the timecode specified for the subtitles in the import file or the file is invalid."
    Anyone have any idea why, what's worse is the file above is from the Apple Pro training series DVD for DVDSP2, so why wont it work in DVDSP4?
    Thanks in advance.

    That's a bugger, because I opened these files in BBEdit as well and saved them as Mac with suffix.stl as well.
    I am importing them the same way as you are, and am using DVDSP4, the files are directly from the Apple Pro training DVD for DVDSP2, for a lesson on importing subtitles, and they obviously work for you. So for some reason they are not working for me.
    My timecode is 0;00 etc so I haven't a clue what the issue could be, as even creating my own file from scratch wont work either.
    When I import them into a new file, they import correctly, so I'm at a loss as to why it wont work with my existing file

  • Lightroom 5 keeps changing my NEF-RAW Files to .dng files upon import

    I am currently using a Nikon D7100 and recording my photos in the Raw/NEF-RAW format.  Recently, whenever I am uploading my photos to Lightroom 5, my photos are changing to .dng files rather than staying in the NEF file.  When I go and look back at my previous imports from the past few times, they are in NEF and NOT in .dng.  Why is this doing this and how do I turn this feature off so that my files remain the same going from my camera to my computer through importation.  Thanks!

    When you are importing your files, do you have the "Copy As DNG" option selected in the top-centre of your import screen?

  • DNG files are importing into premiere pro cc with heavy pink tint what to do?

    I have tryed  many things to remove the pink to no avail, out side of importing through After Effects cc. What else Ican i try? Is there  a fiix in the works?

    This happens with certain video DNG files from particular cameras. Search here for dng import problems and you'll find threads about it ... including a recent one where someone found a look or LUT that could be applied to make the footage usable apparently.

  • Streamclip files wont import into FCP

    I used a program called Streamclip to turn my movie into an MOV file. But it wont import into FCP 6. Are there any specific codecs I should be using?

    Use the codecs that you find in the FCP easy set ups.
    Those are editing formats.
    My guess is that you want export to QuickTime NTSC DV 720x480, 29.97, aiff audio.
    MOV means nothing; it is a container for the codec you selected.

  • SWF file wont import into Final Cut

    I built TV commercial in Flash and I am trying to import it into Final Cut Pro. I tried editing it in After Effects but when I render it as an avi file it ends up being 1 gig....  I called adobe support but they wont give support, even if you pay them, to use anyone using a trial version of After Effects. Not sure I want to buy it if I cant use Flash and FCP wih it. Either way, if someone can tell me where I can go to figure out how to import this flash animation into Final Cut Pro that would great! In fact, if it is that complicated, I will pay someone to do it for me. This commercial needs to be ready for the stations yesterday.
    I really hate Apple for making Final Cut Pro so difficult to work cohesively with Windows software.

    You can't. Apple ceased support on their Quicktime Flash componet several years ago. Converting it an Adobe program or exporting it as a image sequence or clip from the flash authoring environment are the only serious options. Still, even that is bound to rules liek not producing correct results with scripts and things that require user interaction. if that is the case and you are running out of time, play the file in a web browser and do a screen capture. Not glorious, but assuming the machine is fast enough and the SWF has been authored properly with video use in mind (size and framerate), might produce a usable movie...

  • Canon 5D Mark 2  Raw Files wont import.

    My Friend has a Canon 5d Mark 2 and the files will not import. it says it's an unrecognized format.
    now when I shoot with my Canon rebel Xti in raw it will import them. does anybody know if apple will support the canon 5d mark 2 raw files in iPhoto? Or is there something i did not check in prefs to help import?

    Hi. I've got a slightly different problem. I've just upgraded from Canon 20D to 5D and although the RAW files and JPEGs DO both import, the RAW files are no longer labelled 'CR' with the image number. There's just an image number, which duplicates the JPEG file number alongside. I've tried to find a setting in iPhoto9 prefs and also on the camera to add the CR suffix, but have not resolved this. I would like the RAWs to import with the CR tag, as with the 20D. Am I missing something...?!

  • KODAK V1253 HD .Mov Files Wont Import

    I am new to iMovie however like most Apple apps it is seems pretty straight forward and easy to use.
    However I am unable to import video created by my camera. It is in .MOV format. I am able to view it in iTunes, Quicktime, and iPhone.
    When I try and import in using iMovie I can see it by browsing to my iPhoto or directly to a copy I created on the desktop. I click import and nothing happens.
    Any idea what could be causing the problem? Am I missing something?

    I also was able to import the video into iMovie 06'
    As previously explained, the file is playback and conversion compatible with most QT applications. It is only that since iMovie '08 can edit several compression formats natively that it is not allowed to perform conversions. After all, if you want to edit in a H.264 to save source file space, you probably don't want iMovie '08 turning the file into a 13 GB/hour DV compressed file behind your back. In addition, if you can avoid converting the video track and thus maintain its original quality, wouldn't you want to do so. (I.e., using the "pass through" option described above does this.) The basic rule here is, if iMovie '08 can't edit the file as is, it won't import it. At least this approach keeps you from wasting your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are imported. You just have to learn the difference between what can be only watched, what can be watched and converted, and what can be watched, converted, and edited. Different compression formats have different characteristics yet for some reason people seem to think all forms of video are created equal.

  • Mp3 files wont import into itunes from external hard drive

    I just switched from PC to Mac and have the new aluminium mac book.For my PC I had all my music stored on my external hard drive.I have begun transferring most of it to itunes,but some of the files since hooking my external hard drive to my Mac book have turned into 'Apple Files' which appear to be document files as opposed to music files.Is there a way that i can convert them into the itunes format?
    Message was edited by: KatesM

    WMA is not supported directly by iTunes. In iTunes for Windows, you can convert (but not play) these files, as long as they're not copy protected, to an iTunes-supported format.
    Short of running Windows on your new Mac and handling this with iTunes for Windows, or using another (your old?) PC to convert the WMA files to another format (I would suggest using Apple Lossless, as otherwise you will lose some sound quality unnecessarily--unless the WMAs are WMA Lossless...), your only other option would be to play the files with software for OS X other than iTunes. In that case, you might consider VLC, which is handy for almost countless other audio and video files anyway.

  • How to import multiple DNG files into Premiere

    I want to import multiple raw DNG files from a 2.5K blackmagic camera. Each clip is recorded in a separate folder:
    I can import each clip separately by selecting its folder and clicking on a DNG file, but -for obvious practical reasons- I would like to import ALL clips at once. However, when I try to do so, Premiere does not import the clips. Instead, it imports each folder, and within them there is not one single clip, but as many clips as DNG files compounded that particular clip. In other words, if the clip had ONE HUNDRED DNG files, Premiere imports that clip ONE HUNDRED times, not just once:
    In this image, each file contains the ENTIRE clip, not just a DNG file. Is there a workaround for this? Otherwise, DNG files must be imported one by one, which of course makes the workflow much more difficult.

    Jim, when selecting the blackmagic2 level, the only available option is File Directory:
    This doesn't happen with RED files, where you can choose between File Directory and RED from the first level. Unlike blackmagic's DNG clips, RED files can be imported all at once, so maybe that's the whole problem:
    And yes, Source Settings are available for RED files, whereas they are not for DNG (only basic information, not raw manipulation):

  • How can I import DNG files into iPhoto 8?

    Shooting with a Canon Rebel XT, I've downloaded RAW files onto my hard drive, edited them in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and saved them as digital negatives (DNG) with the .dng extension. Bridge and iPhoto work with these just fine, but iPhoto doesn't seem to want to import them.
    Aside from saving them as jpegs or TIFFs, is there any way to get these files to play nice with iPhoto 8?

    I'm having the same problem with iPhoto after editing my images in Bridge and converting the files to DNG before importing to iPhoto. The metadata on the DNG file will not show up in iPhoto when I import DNG files. Yet, if I convert the DNG files to JPEG and import the JPEG files into iPhoto all the metadata and keywords in the original DNG files is imported. I use Bridge and CS3 for editing but want to use iPhoto for asset management.

  • Batch Import .XMP info into DNG Files

    I have a few thousand Canon 5D RAW files that have accompanying XMP files created by PS CS2 containing of a lot of metadata that I manually typed in for each photo.
    Because of some better ICC profile features in DXO Optics Pro 4.x, I want to batch process my Canon 5D raw files (with XMP EXIF data) by DXO Pro into DNG. My problem is how to batch incorporate the XMP data into the resulting DNG file. It doesn't appear
    I found a way I can manually import the data in CS3 for a single photo. However, that's no good for 3000 photos.
    Does anyone have a simple batch method that will do what I want? The XMP files are all named the same as the RAW files, so matching up the files is a piece of cake.
    Could I create an action that would somehow open the new DXO generated DNG file, and import the XMP file using some type of filename matching process?

    Why not simply run the DNG Converter on that folder? It will merge the XMP sidecars into the resultant DNG files.

  • Import is not working for DNG files

    I have imported couple hundreds DNG files from Lightroom into Aperture and instead of full file I've got message that they are unsupported files with very small pixel size like 350x171. The file size in metadata is real size but in preview I've got a message about ansupported file format!?

    There are quite a few different settings that you can choose from when converting a RAW file to a DNG. Without knowing what settings you set up in LightRoom there's no way to tell why your images aren't importing properly.
    Roughly speaking, a linear DNG is one where the first part of the RAW conversion process (called debayerising or demosaicing) has already been done by Adobe.

  • My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

    my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • How can I import cinema dng files in Premiere Pro CC?

    Hi,
    I wanna use Blackmagic Cinema DNG 4k RAW files for my productions in Premiere. As specified by Adobe that schould be no problem.
    When I import the dng-folder or a list of *.dng files they are displayed in assets view as single photos. How can I create a video track from these "photo batches" in the sequence window?
    Much thanks in advance for any help !!!
    Cheers Peer

    Good Peer, glad that solves the import problem for you. I suspect the next version of Premiere CC might not have its import path split with two different results as such.
    Back in CS6 I was importing all media through the Project bin. Then with the first Premiere CC, compressed dng from the bmpcc became supported (I think your 4K just became supported recently). So, with the new CC, I kept importing all files through the project bin, and that resulted in hours of import time, and the same hours of re-conforming the same files every time I re-opened the project. And, the same hours of time direct linking into Speedgrade (by the way I love Resolve also).
    Then, months later, I heard of importing through the Media Browser and all that time melted away into instantaneous import and quick direct link to Speedgrade.
    If you have any projects with dng sequence files imported through the Project bin, I do not remember the exact procedure, it is simple though, just 'make offline' and almost certain it is 'replace footage' to properly Media Browser imported video.
