'Get media' only brings in 2mins26secs10frames of 45 min .mov file

I'm importing a .mov file into Adobe Premiere Elements 7 but it only brings in a short section of it.
I can play the file in Windows Media Player and watch all 47 minutes of the file (its 2.6gb large) - but though I've tried several different times Elements only gets me 2mins 26 seconds and 10 frames of it. This is despite the fact that I've successfully imported 1hr's worth of another .mov file filmed and imported on exactly the same settings just before trying to do this one.
I wonder if it is something to do with the indexing having gone wrong somehow - but that is only a vague hunch as I'm baffled why the two near identical files are being treated in different ways.

You've gotten the format issue worked out - just so many, that it's easy to get confused!
On file Duration issue, I have noticed that with some files, even DV-AVI Type II's, my PrPro will do the same thing. However, I found that just running that file through PrE (seems to do a much better job of getting the full Duration, than does its big-brother), and Exporting the same exact file format fixes the Duration. I've spent years trying to find out exactly what is the problem with these files. I've finally tracked it to the Indexing info in the header of some files. G-Spot shows them as identical, and DupeFile Finder does too. However, I recently ran a problem file through VLC Player and it coughed up an Indexing error. It fixed the index, but does not allow one to do a simple Save, so that the fixed index will be part of the file.
Still, PrE is my "conversion tool," of choice, as it seems to get around the index problem and will write a well-formed index to the file header.
Just an observation on a similar problem, though with a different file type.
Did the removal of the file get things corrected for you?
Along your line of thinking, I'd love to see Adobe able to work more closely with the camera mfgrs. regarding their variations of CODEC's and recording schemes. I would find this particularly useful for PrE, as these are all "consumer CODEC's" and that is the market for PrE. I can see PrPro sticking to more main-stream CODEC's, and such, as it is aimed at a different market, though the two programs do about the same thing.
Some other NLE's, in the PrE arena, seem to do a better job at universal acceptance of CODEC's, but most feel that they are not as powerful, or as easy to use, as PrE is. A trade-off.
Good luck,
Hunt

AE CS5 only see black when playing a rendered mov file in QT

AE CS5 Mac 10.6: After rendering a movie as Render:Best Settings / Output:Lossless I get an mov file (quite large, 193MB) - awesome thats what needs to happen. Now upon viewing that mov file within QT, I get the timer (8 seconds) and the playhead scrolls those 8 seconds, yet I see nothing - only darkness and utter black. Now on the flip: when I render this same file as Best Settings / H.264 and play the mp4 wha lah you get a smooth playing video. Downside, this file needs to be uncompressed and at the highest quality and playable in QT (a mov). Is the file too large for my machine to handle playing? Is this another QT vs AE bug? Anyone please, input is as alway greatly appreciated. Oh, 1 more piece of the puzzle: Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widesceen (1.21). This is a file to be played on an LED arena ribbon...
Thanks

> Is there a codec missing from my AE?
That wouldn't cause the file to play fine in some places and not elsewhere.
This is a gigantic file in terms of horizontal pixel dimensions, and the data rate is quite large, too (nearly 200MB for only 8 seconds). I suspect some combination of QuickTime Player and the computer on which you're trying to play it (e.g., slow hard disks).
Does it really matter whether this can play in QuickTime Player? We've seen that it plays in post-production software. Has the client tried playing it in the way that it will actually be played/used---i.e., on the LED screen at the arena?
And, again, are you and they really sure that this huge losslessly compressed format is what is required? As I said before, this is very much not the kind of format that is intended for playback and distribution. Uncompressed files and files compressed with Animation are intended for purposes like use as intermediate files in post-production, not playback.

How can I get iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) to import .mov files?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 2 TB SDD running Mavericks that I bought 2 weeks ago.
So far I have imported about 5,000 photo files into iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) plus about 25 videos as .mov files.
But on today's import session, it stopped taking any more MOV's, giving the following error message:
"The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." and it then it lists the .mov files.
I tried rebuilding the LIbrary index, and have even tried creating a new Library and importing my smalles (12 Mb) .mov file to this new test library.
But I keep getting the same error.
I have the most recent version of all the software (i.e. no new updates are available.)
What else can I do?

I figured out a solution: The drive with the .mov files was a USB drive formatted as NTFS. iPhoto would import .JPG files from this OK, but would refuse to import .MOV files, giving the error noted above.
I found that if I copied the files from the NTFS USB drive to an SD card or to the Macbook Pro's internal SDD, I could get iPhoto to import the .MOV files without any problem.
Why does iPhoto 11 have a problem importing .MOV files from external USB drive formatted as NTFS, but no problem importing the exact same files from an SD-card formatted as FAT-16, or from a folder on the Macbook Pro's internal HD?

Why do i keep getting "image is missing preview data" when trying to move files from bridge to PS ??

I am not able to move multiple files to PS...regardless whether I am doing HDR or panorama.....get this "image is missing preview data" with the first file number of the series of files.
#missingpreviewdata

You don't "move" anything from Bridge "into" Photoshop. You use Bridge to call on Photoshop to come and open the file(s), and Bridge simply hands the files over to Photoshop.
The problem lies in how the files are being processed and saved.
No one can help you until you provide complete and sensible details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Getting a general error message in FCE when putting .mov file onto timeline

Putting a .mov film onto the timeline above a moving image so we see the mov file playing in a reduced size in the background of whats going on ( a window). Don't know why this is happening but any advice would be appreciated!
We are really stuck so any help would be so appreciated!
thanks.

Its converted to an mpeg4 file but i think it may be the fact it is running at 30fps as oppose to the rest of the project which is 25fps. When I try to put it on the timeline it gives me the general error and then the footage which was on below it on timeline no longer exists. Very strange.

Getting audio only when exporting to camera

Hello. I have exported many times before but when I recently tried to export to camera, I get audio only. I tried deleting the iMovie Preference file (which I had to do at times in the past) and then I got some video with audio at the beginning but then the video stalled while the audio continued.
The iMovie material (which I have already exported to DVD) that I am trying to export to tape is from a DVD which I had converted to DV through Toast and edited in iMovie if that makes any difference.
I'm using iMovie 6.04. Any comments will be appreciated.

Hi, Rich,
I just select QuickTime from the Share option in the menu bar, not Export from the File.
It gives the options of Full Quality, CD-ROM, Web streaming and Email and Expert Settings. I always leave it as Full Quality. I just tried it now and when I select 'Expert Settings,' nothing happens until I click on 'Share,' and then I see the options of how to export and what format to use. Selecting Movie to DV Stream, I then have to change from the 'Most Recent Settings' to get the options of either PAL or NTSC settings for 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz...those are sound settings for audio.
Frankly, I find it much harder to do all these setting changes when Share to QT as Full Quality has always produced a great movie that is equal in quality to the original iMovie.
I have been doing it this way since the first iMove came out. It has always been known as a loss-less method. Frequently, my iMovies are complicated with many video and audio clips. With earlier versions, whenever iMovies became complicated, the playback would skip, stutter or the audio would freeze or become distorted. I learned from experience that the burned disks and disk image files would be fine, but it was hard to finish the edits. I learned to edit the video clips, add the still photos, transitions and titles, add just some audios if I needed a few seconds of sound under the still photos, and then export the movie as the Full quality quick time movie. Then, take that qt movie into a new iMovie and then add the audio. Worked every time. The new qt movie always played fine......unless I got too many more clips, and then I just made a new qt movie at that point. I also always use the qt version for exporting back to miniDV tape because the stuttering version usually would not export, or if it did, the stuttering would persist and ruin it.
Good luck with your projects!

Getting Media--- has ceased to function

I have not knowingly change any setting, but, I can no longer scan photos into my catalog. I have never experienced this before, and when I checked, all the basic setup seems normal
I get a warning notice which says (verbatim):
GETTING MEDIA
(skip a line)
Nothing was imported. The files(s) or folders(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this catalog.
(skip a line)
Reason...................................................................File
The file already exists in the catalog.........................C:/Users/J.......~1/AppData/Lo.....009-10-27.1457- 50/Image1.jpg
(end of warning)
After trying various searches and deleting files, decided to uninstall and reinstall PSE8; I was extremely surprised to find that the catalog was still active when I reinstalled, and even more surprised to find, I still have the problem.
I was really pleased with how easy it was to upgrade from PSE 6 to PSE 8.
I sure hope someone can help

As a workaround, you could use the utility bundled with your scanner to scan to a file, and then import that file into PSE using File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

The usually indicates that you have some media on yur iPod that was purchased using here iTunes account. It usually happens only with apps like when they have to be updated. Check for that and delete apps purchased with her account.

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

Get media content now

Received my Lumia 920 a week ago, I have been fighting with Vodacom in South Africa for 5 days now around getting MMS working. Vodacom say its Nokia who have to provide me with the MMS settings but I cannot find any solution to getting MMS working on the Vodacom network. If I try send a MMS, I get an error saying my message cannot be sent and when I receive a message it says "Get media content now", if I click on the message, the phone reports "getting media content" it plays a sound but nothing further happens, I then receive repeated notifications saying "Get media content now" about 10 or 15 times over a period of an hour, any help would be appreciated

Did you check the Settings>access point? In many cases the correct settings are in the app database an will setup automatically. You might want to do a search on these forums as this has been covered many times before. If this app is missing scan the QR code below on your phone to get it.
On the vodacom site they only offer sending a settings SMS or using USSD, both are not supported by WIndows phone (you could try the SMS option though). These setting are carrier dependent and so should be provided by the carrier.
A quick look at settings for the Nokia C7 I found this and that should translate pretty well to settings for Lumia:
Connection name: Vodacom
Internet APN
Accesspoint name: internet
Proxy address: 169.006.128.012
Proxy port: 8080
Username: [blank]
Password: [blank]
MMS APN
MMS Access point name: mms.vodacom.net
Proxy address: 169.006.128.013
Proxy port: 8080
Username: [blank]
Password: [blank]
MMSC address: mmsc.vodacom4me.co.za
They should have the settings available for manual entry just like any other carrier has. If the above does not work contact them again and demand to speak to a manger as they should have these settings and it seems you ran into a clueless agent here. As this is basically Vodafone you might try and shoot their HQ a message to complain on this.
And lastly remember; Google is your best friend in these matters..

"Get media content now" without data connection?

Hi all.
I have a prepaid sim in my Lumia because I use it very little. When I got my Lumia charged and running 2 weeks ago, I had the equivalent of over $240 credit on my SIM card, "Data connection" was switched on and once the Lumia was running, I sent one single text message with the word "testing" to my daughter. Next day I was horrified when my provider sent me a message "you have less than 10 Francs credit". I called Swisscom and they told me that the day before, my Lumia had gobbled up more than the equivalent of $150 and that THAT day so far it had used up over $80. I felt absolutely sick. Normally 100 Swiss Francs lasts me for a year.
They told me to switch off the Data connection and just use wifi. But now, when my daughter sends me a picture, I just get that blasted "Get media content now" message.
I simply cannot afford the data connection. I could get images and multimedia content messages fine with my late departed and much-missed E7 and even my old Communicator could pick up multi-media via wifi. so why the step back with the Lumia ??? And is there any way I can get e.g. multimedia images without a data connection (I already tried the aircraft mode on/off trick with no luck).
Our entire family have been Nokia customers since they first made mobile phones but by now I am the only one of us who has persevered (thanks to the Communicator then the E7) but I hate this bloody Lumia 900 thing which I received as a replacement for my non-charging E7. I swear I am going to put it on ebay and get myself an Iphone and will never buy a Nokia again.

The 150+ SFr was presumably from a phone software update. I didn't send an MMS message but an SMS = one word only.
I checked that the wifi icon was on at all times but the Nokia seems to look first for G3. Because Nokia didn't even have the courtesy of sending me a manual or user instructions of any kind (or charger or SIM removal pin or headphones) when they sent me this phone, I didn't think of checking the data connection setting to be honest.
Last night I wasted a further 7 hours trying to install Zune on my XP PC.. It said it couldn't install because Media Centre needed updating to Rollup 2 or later. I already HAVE all the Media Centre updates, went to Microsoft, wanted to download it again, they wanted verification but when I ran their verification tool I was told that the verification tool was outdated and to use the later version - yes, and that on the Microsoft website..
After 7 hrs of going round in circles, I went to bed at 5 a.m. and today went to Swisscom and got myself an Iphone 4. I have better things to do than to spend 7 hours trying to install software..
OK, it's another rant but I am mightily dissatisfied with Nokia - even the keypad keeps rolling itself up when I try to enter something. so to enter a 10 digit phone number takes a total of about 30+ taps because the damn keypad disappears before I can tap on a number. Incredible.
