FCP 7 won't import File

Need Help: I'm recording with a Canon XHA1s camcorder in HDTV/24FPS to a Focus FS-CF Pro with CF Card..When trying to import into FCP 7. I keep getting an error message. "File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
Open file in Quicktime and here the specs are:
Format: HDV 1080p24, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
FPS: 23.98
Data Size: 73.4 MB
Data Rate: 26.53 Mbit/s
Tried trashing FCP preferences
Any help would be greatly appreciated: Hopefully I won't have to convert file each and every time

This time I Tried importing contents of CF Card while in device and also tried copying contents to hard drive and same error message.."General Error"
Before I just tried importing the .mov file and received the other error message "File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
Open in Quick time and click Open Inspector and this is what the results are:
Format: HDV 1080p24, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz

LR 5.5 Doesn't work. Won't import files from Sony or Canon

Since initially downloading LR 5, I have been unable to import files from my Canon 7D, Canon 5D Mk3, or my Sony Nex 7. All three cameras are running the latest firmware versions.
I'm using an Apple 27" IMac, with 3.4GHz Intel I7, with 16Gb 1333Mhz DDR3 ram.
The ONLY way I've gotten LR 5.X to import any images has been to move them from the memory card, to a folder on the desktop, and then import them from that folder.
Anything else I try results in a dialogue box that tells me the images can't be imported.
LR4 works just fine, and I have no issues importing files from any of my three cameras with it.

When I try to import anything, a dialogue box pops up, titled "Import Results"
Below that, it says "Some import operations were not performed",
Then, below that, it says "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." And it then lists individually all the images I tried to import.
I then have the option to "Save As", or "Ok".
When I click "Ok", it ejects the card, and "No photos in Current Import" appears in the middle of the screen.

5.6 won't import files

Recently "improved" to 5.6, now I can't import files. I'm a computer novice so this is frustrating. The previous version worked wonderfully. When I try to import the thumbnails don't appear and the following is displayed instead - "Preview unavailable for this file." I try to execute the import command anyways and a pop-up box appears indicating that "some import operations were not performed" and in fact NONE of the files imported. I've segregated the .jpg and .nef files and tried to import them separately and still NO GO! Hoping for some help, thanks in advance!!

This camera's RAW photos are not supported by Adobe software at this time. Please read this thread: Support for Nikon D750

FCP HD won't import Livetype files

Hello, I am running FCP 4.5 and I am trying to import Livetype files but it says it can't import the files. How do I fix this?

Sheesh, now you tell us.

Sorry bogiesan! <
Thanks, I get impatient with incomplete posts. We could have gone down lots of weird and totally useless pathways looking for answers that don't apply to your situation.
<div class="jive-quote">Hoffman: How did you "restore" your computer?< </div>
Here's the question you need to answer in some depth. We need to what you did and, if possible, why. On the reinstallation of FCS, the enabler files probably went to the shared users library or to another user. Start rooting around for fcp-related .plist files using Spotlight and eventually you will locate something that looks interesting.

Itunes won't import files from my computer c drive

I click on
'File'
then
'Add file to library'
then files on my C drive show up and I select one or several, then click on
'Open'
and nothing happens, no error, no file imported, no message, just nothing.

Well, there are two reasons I can think of why it's not adding them and you get the red slash-circle.
1) Operating system permissions are not letting you do this. However your profile says XP, and this is more common with Vista and WIndows 7 - permissions suddenly changing with no notice to you. Even ifyou'rethe only user, and using an admin account.
2) The files are mp3 and somehow the headers have gotten damaged/corrupted. Other players (like windows media player) will play them but itunes is too fussy. You can use MP3 Validator to fix the headers. Try it only on ONE file to start.
More info is on this webpage
http://trevinchow.com/blog/2008/09/17/fix-for-mp3-songs-not-playing-in-itunes/
Yes, I know the article says "fix for songs not playing", but it is the same fix if they will not add to itunes.

ITunes won't import files in Win7/64-bit

I have just installed Windows7 64-bit Professional on my computer. Totally clean install (no upgrade...deleted partitions, reformatted etc...totally clean install). Previously, this computer had Win XP 32-bit, running iTunes successfully for years.
All of the media files I am attempting to import were ripped in iTunes, so I *KNOW* they're iTunes friendly.
I can't get any of my media files (MP3's, MP4's...) to import. Dragging & dropping does nothing. File>Add File To Library does nothing. File>Add Folder to Library appears to *start* an import process, but it fails shortly after with no explanation.
I also tried creating a new iTunes library, but the behavior is the same.
When I add content from iTunes Store, it is added to the database no problem.
I have tried running iTunes in Compatibility mode (tried XP/Vista both...) with no luck. I have told it to run with Admin privileges...with no luck. I have 'repaired' iTunes...with no luck. I have uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes...with no luck.
I am running out of ideas. Any suggestions out there? I can't believe that the media files have all gotten corrupt in the 24 hours since I had XP on this machine. HELP!!

Howdy cayenneman,
It looks like you have set a custom location to store your iTunes library but when you import your media, the files don't go to that location and seem to stay where they were imported from, such as from your desktop. In the first screenshot you provided I notice that you do not have 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' checked. That tells me that the symptoms you are seeing are 100% correct. Checking that box will make iTunes do what you want, in that it will actually copy the media from wherever you are importing it from, to the directory you have set to store your iTunes library.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
Copy items to your iTunes folder when you add them to your iTunes library
When you import an item by dragging it to the iTunes window or choosing File > Add to Library, a reference (or “pointer”) to the item—not the item itself—is placed in the iTunes folder. You might not be able to play songs if you move them.
You can change this setting so that iTunes copies of all the items are placed in the iTunes folder.
Choose Edit > Preferences and click Advanced.
Select the “Copy files” checkbox.
The next time you add an item to your library, iTunes places a copy of the file in your iTunes folder; the original file remains in its current location.
The title of the article mentions Windows but the information is the same for Mac.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Isplash and Colorize files save as JPEG but Iphoto won't import them in.

I bought both Isplash and Colorize apps to use the edited photos in an imovie video. The programs both import my iphoto files seamlessly for coloring but when I try and save them in Iphoto or import them into iphoto I get this error.
the file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library)
Help?!

the file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library)
iPhoto won't import files that are already in the working Library package. How did they get there?
I'm guessing that you did not use either of these apps as an external editor?
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Importing files

Hi all,
I have some 40 year old film that I want to have digitized so I can edit it in FCP X. My choices are as follows...
1. Uncompressed standard definition video (720x486), interlaced, 4:2:2 color, and recorded on NTFS USB 2.0 hard drives in .avi format. This can either be 8 bit or 10 bit. My concern is the .avi which, apparently, FCP X won't import even though the FCP X help document says it will import/support Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 and Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2. Has anyone had any experience with this?
2. My second option is a 1080p scan which outputs in the following formats (.mov files)...
High Definition Quicktime Motion JPEG-A      100 Mb/s
High Definition Quicktime Component video    651 Mb/s
High Definition Quicktime Animation               835 Mb/s
High Definition Quicktime Raw                        976 Mb/s
Again, does anyone have any experience with these formats and/or recommendations?
Thanks in advance,
Copperbankbz

Where are these choices coming from, the dub house? Is there any other dub house you can go to that is used to dubbing to more than a few formats?
In all these cases, you going to be better off converting to a secondary format although FCP X can read Motion JPEG-A and Animation. Animation is a lossless codec not meant for video playback usually only used to imbed alpha information or to pass graphics. Motion JPEG is often used with stock footage so that's what I'd go with if left only those choices.
Compressor can convert .avi files into DVNTSC .mov, but that's still only standard def, and if you're digitizing a film, I would want the highest quality I can manage.

Try totally shutting all of your apps, double click the home button then hold your finger on an app until you see the red minus sign then tap that on all your app, then restart your iPhone, then give it a try. If you are still having problems you will need to check with your service provider to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

FCP 4 HD won´t import mov files

Hi,
I exported a clip with the QT conversion option and added a few of the menu´s special effects (lens flare, sepia, etc.). The file opens all right with QT, but when I try to import it to FCP, I get an error message. This also happens if I try to open the file from my desktop using the "Open with..." option and select FCP.
I had no problem importing the file to iMovie, so I am really puzzled about this...

File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
I get that message. I wanted to know if you found a solution. I am using Final Cut 4.5
I just started getting error messages whenever I try to import a file. Whatever file I choose gets a window that says:
"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
Never had a problem with Final Cut before. I'm baffled. Please help. I already tried trashing the preferences.
I am not able to import any type of file at all. Quick time movies, audio, livetype, etc. I have been able to import all these files for several months. Now for no apparent reason I am unable to import files.
I have looked at different discussions of this same problem. There seems to be an access problem. The files are valid. They will open with Quicktime. They will import into iMovie.
So the problem seems to be that FCP cannot access the files.
Anyone know the solution?

FCP 7.0.3, Canon XF100, saved some clips to a portable hard drive and now they won't import? Tried moving them back to the CompactFlash but still won't import?

FCP 7.0.3, Canon XF100, saved some clips to a portable hard drive and now they won't import? Tried moving them back to the CompactFlash but still won't import? iMac, 10.6.8

Well, for FCP to see this file structure and recognize it, you need to download the Canon XF Log and Transfer plugin...
http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0040354.asp?model=
>I don't have the original clips on the card.
Meaning that they didn't back up the full card structure? Lordy...very few shooters do this and it is maddening. If you don't have the full card structure, even with the plugin, FCP cannot log and transfer.
As for ClipWrap2...that should work. Do you have the right files?

IMovie HD won't import audio files

We have several dozen sound effects CDs that we imported to AIFF files through iTunes. Now, iMovie won't import the AIFF files. If you select them using Import or just drag and drop them onto the audio timeline, it just beeps and doesn't import them.
Importing them into FCP ans playing them back through the QT player and iTunes works fine.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd really like to avoid having to reimport the sounds off the CDs.

I did find that if the offending files were upsampled to 48 khz/16 bit instead of the usual 44.1 khz/16 bit, iMovie would accept them without any problem.
iMovie's help file says:
"Tip: For the best compatibility with iMovie HD transitions, effects, titles, and the Ken Burns Effect, you should record your video with 48 kilohertz (kHz), 16-bit audio. Check your camera's manual for instructions on setting the audio bit rate and depth."
Even though these aren't video files with audio, it seems like it likes 48 khz/16 bit files.

FCP won't import jpg or gifs

I wrote an AppleScript to download images from a website (weather.com, accuweather.com) and I tried to import them into FCP, but I get the "File Error: Unknown File." If I download a jpg or gif manually from a website it works fine. I'm thinking maybe its a problem with the way I'm downloading the images, but I'm not sure.

All the images specs look the same. The "Save As..." trick fixes the problem, but it takes too long and defeats part of the purpose of the AppleScript. I'm doing this for a weather report twice a week so the maps have to be downloaded and ready in 10 minutes for them to be current. And I have 18 images to do that to. The PS trick also won't work for the gif images because they're animated. Would the file creator type have anything to do with this?
Thanks again for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.
Z.
