Doesn't import an entire movie

I have .avi movies that are ~2:00 in length. When I try to upload them to iMovies by selecting File->Import->Movies..., the movies get cut to 1:22:06 in length; all of them. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here

iMovie doesn't support .avi video format, try to convert your avi to iMovie and then import.

  • Can't export entire movie

    Whenever I try to export a movie it doesn't export the entire movie, only the first 15 seconds or so. This happens not matter what file format I am trying to export to.. WMV, MOV, AVI etc. When I export the movie on my home computer (PC) it works fine. Could this be a problem with my settings? I've tried many different settings and it still doesn't work.

    I paid $29.00 for it. I am starting with a Quicktime file and would like to export it to an AVI file. I am exporting from Quicktime pro not flip4mac (although I do have the full version of flip4mac software). The same thing happens not matter what file format I export too.
    I think there is a problem with my Quicktime pro software or I don't have the correct settings when exporting.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 doesn't import MOV Files

    Hi, All!
    I'm working on Windows 8.1 64 bit and use Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I've downloaded and installed on my PC latest version of Apple QuickTime 7.7.4.1680.86 from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    I've trying to use some free stuff from http://www.detonationfilms.com/Stock_Directory.html and mix it with my video. You may download example of Pre-Keyed Explosions using direct link: http://www.detfilmsshockwave.com/DVExplosion01.zip or any other stuff from this site...
    ...but my Adobe Premiere Elements 12 with installed the latest updates doesn't import these MOV Files with codec PNG Image
    In fact, Apple does not offer ProRes components for QuickTime on Windows, but I don't know do this problem interact with my trouble?
    IMHO, it's best  to look at the crash logs for QT32Server! I've found executable QT32Server on my PC in next folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\CAHeadless\32\Adobe QT32 Server.exe, but can't found any import logs on my Windows 8.1 including hidden folders. I have trying to check the windows events log for errors %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s but it contains no necessary items.
    I have trying to re-install version 6.5.2 of Apple QuickTime, but without success. May be I must try to install any other older version, i.e. 7.5.5 ?
    I think perhaps such behavior of Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is in design?
    May be I'd try third party free video converter, like SUPER e.t.c. to convert MOV container to AVI?
    Please help me to find a way to fix this problem.

    What is this "codec PNG image" that is contained/wrapped by the .mov format? What are the video and audio properties of this video...frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, et al.
    It sounds like you have Premiere Elements 12 is running on some version of Windows with QuickTime (latest version) installed on the same computer as Premiere Elements. Great. Requirement for QuickTime met.
    Where is this PNG.mov coming from? And what type of .avi were you thinking to convert to?
    Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime does offer an export with a PNG video codec with the .mov file extension. I am in the process of exporting my Timeline to that type of file and then determining if I can import that back into Premiere Elements 12 project.
    When your png.mov will not install into Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, what is the specific message that you are getting from the program at that time.
    More shortly after my export of the png.mov is finished. Any minute now.
    ATR
    Add On....The png.mov produced by Premiere Elements 12 Window 7 64 bit could be imported into a Premiere Elements 12 project. I am now going to my laptop which has Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit to do the same thing and see what happens there. Back soon.

  • AE CC doesn't import Mov Files.  Apple Prores / Animation Codec

    hallo,
    After Effects doesn't import my Prores / Animation Codec Files.
    at very first it did not work and the message appeared: "after effects error: file "xxx.mov" cannot be imported - this "moov" file is damaged or unsupported. "
    Then i restarted AE and my computer a few times and suddenly it worked. but after closing AE again, AE does the same error.  It does not work even with its own rendered Files from CC!!
    I have considered to use only files i know they have worked in the past.
    i also asked some freelancers to open it. and yes they confirm it works on CS 5, CS 6.
    also

    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    I can not reliably import/export ProRes or Animation QTs with After Effects CC. I believe accepting the latest update to CC initiated this problem. I did not have this problem last week. I have converted all of my source QTs to .PNG sequences and .AIFs as a work-around.
    System Details:

    Troubleshooting Info:
    • I don't have Blackmagic or Aja, but I do have Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac with the latest Nvidia and Cuda drivers. I'll try uninstalling... but I may want to raytrace in the coming days.
    • I've trashed the 12.0 folder and rebooted many times
    • repaired permissions
    • Multi-threding on/off doesn't matter
    update
    • "QT32Server process" appears then disappears Activity Monitor when I try to render ProRes (output module fails...)
    • No firewall
    • Uninstaled Nvidia driver. Restarted. Same problems.
    and then
    • Created a fresh admin user. This seems to work for now: I can read and write QTs through AE again. I'll update if there are any changes.
    update again
    • Once again, I  can not import ProRes QTs into AE CC. Making a new user only worked for 2 launches. The only software I used with this system/new user was Adobe AE CC, PS CC, and Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Best,

  • .mov audio doesn't import

    I've been importing a .mov file that has audio but the audio doesn't import. What should I do?

    According to Flash's Help…
    "If you attempt to import a file format that is not supported on your system, a warning message appears that the operation cannot be completed. In some cases, Flash might import the video but not the audio in a file. For example, audio is not supported in MPG and MPEG files imported with QuickTime 7 on Mac OS. In such cases, a warning indicates that the audio portion of the file cannot be imported. You can import the video without sound."
    So this may be an issue with the format of your particular video clip. If you have Quicktime Pro, you can try exporting the movie again using a different format for your sound options such as "AAC" or something.

  • Can I import one chapter of a dvd of old family movies to edit or do I have to import the entire dvd first?

    I had an old family film converted toa dvd.
    I would now like to use one chapter in a project I'm working on. Can I just import the chapter I want or do I have to import the entire dvd first and then edit. It takes so long to do?

    Hi
    Most probably not - not at all. I assume that Your DVD plays on any regular DVD-Player and if so the material on it is in a sort of .mpeg2 code and neither iMovie or iDVD can open this so to do what You want it needs to be converted into a codec they can open.
    There are no standard way to do this on a native Mac (Yes one might ask why - indeed) so there are ways around this.
    I prefer these of two methods
    • connect a DVD-player to a miniDV Camera and copy to tape and use this
    • or - Roxio Toast™ that can open the DVD and back engineer it into streamingDV that both iMovie and iDVD can use.
    Best result is if You go directly to iDVD without any editing. But if material needs to be edited using iMovie HD6 or any version of FinalCut will keep quality as high as possibly. Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 will result in a quality loss depending on that they can not deliver interlaced video over to iDVD - so they lose every second line in the picture - less sharp result.
    or read my list on
    DVD back for future editing
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
    B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection)
    C. I prefer one of these two ways
    • Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
    • Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
    D. Read what Karsten collected.
    DVD back to iMovie.

  • Idvd import a qt.movie

    how do you import a qt movie and burn to a dvd to play
    on any dvd players

    Q: It will not take a "Quicktime.mov" extension
    A: Mine does. iDVD6 will accept a QT file /folder or movie. The entire app is built from the ground up based on QT ....if yours doesn't then drag and drop the plist for iDVD to the trash and iDVD will create a new working default set. Looks like this:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    Directly from the iDVD6 Help Menu:
    Video and image formats that work with iDVD
    You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
    Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below).
    High definition video (HDV).
    16:9 widescreen formats.
    AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files.
    MPEG-4 and iSight video imported as an iMovie HD movie.
    High definition video that you add to your project is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video, so that when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
    The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
    Copyrighted or protected videos.
    Movies saved in thousands of colors using the "none" compression setting in iMovie.
    48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
    Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
    QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can't add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don't contain standard video tracks.
    QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the "Prepare for Internet Streaming" checkbox is not selected.
    Note: You can add any file to the DVD-ROM portion of your DVD so viewers can copy the file onto another computer. For more information, see Related Topics below.
    Good luck and hope this helps. If so, please take the time to mark your question as "Answered."

  • Is there a way to watch another family members movies through family share without downloading the entire movie?

    Before family share my kids were signed in under my apple ID. They had the ability to just stream whatever Disney movies they wanted that we owned. Now they have to download the entire movie to watch it? Seems a bit over kill to me. Plus those movies fill up their entire ipads.

    Think of all this as two entities, 1. your Apple ID's and 2. Apple services (and by services I mean iCloud, iTunes, Home Sharing, Messages, FaceTime, Support Communities etc etc).
    You can choose to use a different ID for each service, thereby creating the flexibility you are looking for.
    For iCloud (which syncs contacts, mail, calendars etc) I suggest you each use your own ID, this means you will have your own contacts etc.
    For iTunes, you might use separate ID's or you might both use the same one, I make no suggestion here because there are benefits to both ways. You may want to keep your music, movie, books and app purchases separate or you may want to unite them to avoid potentially paying for things twice.
    For Home Sharing I suggest you use just one ID, it doesn't matter who's it is, so long as you both use the same one, this will ensure that any device using home Sharing can see and play the content from anyone's library on the same network (regardless of which ID it uses for iTunes) that is logged into the same home sharing account.

    If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

  • Iphoto'09 doesn't import the video made by Kodak DX6490 since update 10.6

    Iphoto'09 doesn't import the video i made on my Kodak DX6490 since i've installed mac os 10.6 with an update from 10.5.8
    The videos i made are .mov and with iphoto'09 and Leopard 10.5.8, it was possible to import them.
    Have you seen this problem ? Any idea to correct it ?

    TD,
    My comment regarding this problem was only meant to support your solution (test), not disparage it.
    I was briefly trying to explain that I believe (anecdotally) Snow Leopard is not functioning correctly in regard to movie imports using normal import procedures.
    At first I assumed it was a problem with iPhoto 06, and ordered a copy of iLife 09 for my daughter. Then I found this thread and IMHO it confirmed my workaround (kludge) solution. I would wager that she will have the same problem with iPhoto 09.
    It should "just work."
    I will report the outcome.
    Cheers

  • Importing MPEG and MOV

    i have been trying to import MPEG and MOV files to iMovie 08 without any success.
    the movies i have already previously copied to my HD, or have been copied for me, so I am not copying them from any camera.
    The funny thing is ... when i look into my iPhoto library from iMovie he does recognise the videos i have copied directly from my digital photo camera, but i can't just copy any MPEG or MOV files from any other location, previously copied, to my iMovie library.
    Does anybody here have the same problem as me?

    Does anybody here have the same problem as me?
    Everyone will have this problem. It is the way iMovie '08 is currently programmed. The basic problem is that most users fail to realize that there are three distinct levels of support in QT based applications:
    1) Playback Support - This simply means a particular compresion format can be played in a QT application. E.g., MPEG2 video is not normally supported without the QT MPEG-2 component while MPEG1 and H.264/AAC files are both playback compatible as they are.
    2) Conversion Support - This means a file can be "properly" converted to another compression format. In this case, "muxed" formats like MPEG1 and MPEG2 (even with the QT MPEG2 component) cannot be converted to another compression format by QT applications and retain their audio content while H.264/AAC files can.
    3) Edit Support - This means that certain operations can be performed on the audio and/or video content at the frame level. QT applications can, for instance, segment the audio and video content of an H.264/AAC file at any frame but since "muxed" files like MPEG1 and MPEG2 files consist of "blocks" of audio data interspersed with "blocks" of video data in a single stream, segmenting a file at any point other than one where a "group" of such "blocks" ends/begins would mean the loss of many "frames worth" of either audio or video data. AVI has a similar problem. Since the "instances" of audio and video data mesh like the cogs of two wheels, segmenting an AVI always leaves a 1 frame deficit between the number audio frames and the number of video frames. (Ever wonder why you end up with that one "white" frame at the end of youe file?)
    Now we come to the various types of QT based applications. Many, like iPhoto and iTunes don't really look at the files when they import them, so they are more than happy to import anything they can read and recognize. If a file can be played in the QT player, it can be played in both iPhoto and iTunes. On the other hand, some applications are a bit "picky" about what they will export. iTunes, for instance, will not export/sync a file it has imported if the target device cannot play it. iMovie '06 is also different, in that it will import anything it can convert even if it can't convert it properly -- i.e., an MPEG1 file will be converted to DV video but lose any audio that may have been contained in the file. iMovie '08 takes things to a new level. Since imported files are simply moved/copied to "Events" folders in their original compression format, iMovie '08 first checks to see if the files contain both audio and video data that can be edited at the frame level. If both cannot be edited at the frame level, then iMovie '08 will not allow you to import it. Camcorder devices, however, are handled differently. Since most content on tapeless models are not stored in a QT edit supported format, these files, as well as HDV, are converted to an intermediate codec (which can be edited) as part of the import process.
    As to digital cameras, many manufacturers store their video clips in generic file containers. Just because a Kodak digital camera stores its data in an MOV file container, it does not mean bothe audio and video compressions formats can be edited in iMovie '08. Many Kodak models, for instance, store their video clips as MPEG4/µ-Law 2:1 files. Unfortunately, while the iMovie will accept the MPEG4 video, it doesn't like the µ-Law compressed audio. Same holds true for many Casio digital cameras which use Motion JPEG/DVI ADPCM comressed formats. Once again, iMovie has no problem with the Motion JPEG video content but refuses to accept the DVI ADPCM audio. Luckily, users have two options here. They can either convert both the audio and video to an iMovie '08 edit compatible compression format or simply convert the audio content and "re-merge" it with the original video for maximum quality. And, of course, MPEG1/2 "muxed" files or M2V files with unsupported audio compression formats must be converted for the reasons already mentioned above.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't import 'Date Created' data

    I have researched this thoroughly in Adobe and public forums without seeing a similar discussion. I have a folder of .mts clips shot in AVCHD on a Sony HXR-MC2000. I can import or drag-and-drop clips and they come into my seq just fine -- evidently a recent update I installed addressed the problem of no audio importing with the clip, so many thanx, Adobe!  But for the life of me, I cannot get the 'Date Created' info to come over with the clip. I do have that box checked in the PP6 panel, but no such data imports.
    Any ideas?  I'm running CS6 6.0.1 on an iMac running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1

    I don't do it because the metadata really contains nothing useful with the GH2 (for example it doesn't have timecode), so it just massively clutters up my Explorer thumbnail views which I frequently use to manage the files.  That's the issue for me, not storage space.  ie. I like to see all the video thumbnails for a particular shooting date grouped together in the same folder - I don't want to keep having to traverse the annoying AVCHD folder structures to find my files.
    On top of that Panny's utility doesn't preserve the entire structure, but rather seems to convert the metadata to its own filetypes.  The only reason I use it is that it automatically creates folders based on the shooting date of each clip (and stills), which is how I like to organise my files.
    In the end, MTS is also just a video file, and the filesystem already has Date Created and Date Modified times.  So PPro should use those in cases like this (as it presumably does with any other filetype that doesn't have this metadata).
    I'll report it as a bug.

  • How to import non-HD movies from old iMovie

    Hi there,
    guess I am a little bit late for this, but until recently I had still the old iMovie (6 ?) version installed - whereas after migration to Snow Leopard and iMovie 09 (?) the older iMovie version isn't there anymore.
    So, how do I import the old movies - not in HD format - into my HD Event Library without unnecessary conversion? It seems that the import via File->Import->iMovie HD Projects is not the right way, as it upscales my smaller format to the Large ("false" HD) format.
    Tried to find answers in the forum but without result.
    Thanks for any tips!

    1. The iPhone can only work with SIMs made (coded) for the iPhone. SIMs from other phones will not work (though an iPhone SIM can work in an older phone).
    2. The iPhone doesn't read nor write to the SIM and has no option to import from a SIM.
    Best bet (what I did) was obtain the the software Motorola has that will allow you to interact with the Razr (which I use to have). The software they have has their own address book reader to bring contacts into their own proprietary address book on the computer. Once in, it has an export feature (export to .CSV/.TXT file). From there I imported them into Outlook. Then synced with the iPhone and Outlook.
    I did all that back when I first bought two iPhones for my wife and I when the first generation iPhone came out.
