GH2 Video File Strange New Behavior

I've been working the last 6 months with 4 GH2s and ran into some strange troubles when initially importing them to the timeline. 2 hour shots are divided into 6 or 7 different files, and when brought into PP the first clips audio was assigned to all the other remaining clips. This was pretty strange, but I fixed it by using TSmuxer. It was added time in the workflow/set up, but in the end I could produce; so I did not search for any more solutions.
The latest update of PPCC now combines the entire 2 hours of footage into each of the 7 files being imported. So it is importing 2 hours of footage 7 times for each camera. The conforming is taking forever! For 4 cameras it's conforming 14 hours of footage each, when it should literally be a 7th of that.
It is taking up large amounts of time and disk space.
Any pointers here?

CS6 is exactly where I picked up Premeire Pro, so you can see that I'm very new. But even after following the advice I found on this forum to
a. copy the entire folder over to the working drive and
b. use adobe media browser to import clips,
I always had multiple clips with the first clips audio. Latest updates of window, video card driver, premeire pro, and all...still the error. Hence the TSmuxing.
So maybe there is something else that I missed?

Cannot play video files in new photos app for mac

Hi There,
I recently moved from an older imac to a new one (both had Yosemite installed). I moved my photos over by copying my old photo library file and pasting it to replace the same file on the new mac. All my photos came over fine, however i am unable to play some of the video files. I get a warning saying 'Cannot Play file - Photos cannot play this video. Do you want to try opening it in Quicktime Player?'. If i try in quicktime it won't open either.
What's strange is that when i go to the info tab for these videos they show as .MOV files that were taken on an iphone 5S - but they are very small in size - 5KB or so. Perhaps the size of the thumbnail image only. Any ideas on how i can fix this? When i open them on the old mac i get an other warning issue stating 'The necessary data reference could not be resolved'
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

At that size, what copied over is just the reference to the video file, not the video itself. Some suggestions:
1. In iPhoto, select the video, then in the File menu select Reveal in Finder. If this finds the original file, add it manually to Photos.
2. Perform a Spotlight search for the video file title/name. If found, move to Photos.
3. If you imported or modified the files in iMovie, launch it and find/export the originals from there.

Panasonic GH2 video files not compatible

iMovie (and Final Cut) cannot import the mts video files from the latest video cam by Panasonic the GH2
BTW: RAW photos also dont import in iPhoto..
Apple is not ready for the GH2 yet.... Hoping for an update soon

hello
If it's not too late, I found a solution to import 24 P movies from a Panasonic GH2 Full HD to my macintosh.
you only need a software which is called "ClipWrap" It is very easy to use and it transform your MTS files in apple Prores files that your mac can read. (precisely, my Final cut pro, beacause for I Movie, I really don't care)
have a good day.

Strange New Behaviors on G5

Recent new developments of bad behavior on my G5 using OS 10.4.11.
It seems there are a few new bad behaviors taking place. I've not documented all of them, so I'll have to post each one as it happens, but one thing in particular keeps happening over and over, and is serious.
If I begin to drag something using the mouse, it will activate other things, or change from the item I'm dragging to something else that I might happen to drag over, and then consequently move items that were not intended, etc. It is messing up my setup because when this happens I often don't know that another item was affected when I do this. It happens whether in the Finder or if I'm within a program.
I've tried deleting my finder.plist and repairing permissions, and my software is all up to date, but it continues to happen. This strikes me as sounding more like a virus or some sort of malware.
Can someone validate this problem and help me to resolve it?

Hi Linda,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

MacBook Air has strange new behavior when I log in.

When I go to log onto my MacBook Air, the screen stays dark except for a strange "path" that reveals the screen behind my curser. Very strange. Having owned Macs for years, I've never seen this before. Has anybody else had this happen? What would cause this?

Does it happen when you startup in Safe Mode ?

After upgrading recently I got this message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." The music/video files are still on my MacBook Pro. Is it because I'm still on 10.5.8? How do I fix this?

For your reference I’m using a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Several weeks ago on a Monday I received an upgrade for iTunes. When Tuesday arrived I attempted to log in so that I could download the latest freebie song(s). I was met w/this message: “The file ‘iTunes Library.itl’ cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.”
The music/video files are still on my Mac (I’ve verified that via Searchlight), but I’m unable to open the program. Since I know that 10.5.8 is rapidly becoming prehistoric, could it be that the newest iTunes isn’t compatible w/this particular OS? I’d like to switch up, but understand that the newest OS won’t work on a Mac of this vintage (6 years old). In addition, my Adobe products (all CS2) won’t work w/anything newer than 10.5.8, so I’m reluctant to go to a newer OS (I just can’t afford the Adobe upgrade $$$ @ this point).
Is there any way to get a download of an “old” iTunes version? If there were, I’d simply refuse any future upgrades until my personal economy allows me to stop working as if it were 2006. Please advise, somebody!

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

How do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto? Photoes came across, video said incompatible.

i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
Your help is appreciated gang.: )

Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto

How do i move a video file from the theater to the library for more editing? New version of iMovie.

How do I move a video file from theater to the library for additional editing in iMovie. It is a new iMac so i guess i have the newest version of iMovie.

Hi hilldw61,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have added a clip or project to iMovie Theater but would like to continue working on it. When you upload the project to iMovie Theater, the original project remains in iMovie where you can edit it further.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

Create a new video file by editing & clipping old video?......Premiere CS4

How do I take an existing video file (.wav, .mpeg, etc...) & delete unwanted footage to create a new video file? I currently have some video footage of my family but the sound & video dont play synced togather in Premiere? Any suggestions......?

The first two concerns are the source footage and then the Project/Sequence Preset.
What are these? This answer will direct others on how they suggest that you proceed.
For OOS issues, having your source footage in the proper format will go a long way to solving such issues. For "fixing" OOS, this ARTICLE might be useful.
Good luck,

Video files won't move to new computer

I imported a bunch of TV shows into iTunes, they all play fine. Now I have moved to different computers twice and the imported video files won't follow me. Only a couple are identified as m4v files and play, the rest are saying they are mov, they only play the sound, on my original computer everything plays. How do I get them corrected on my new Mac?
Thank you

Run Repair Disk.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility>in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HDmechanism>look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. statusand see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk:Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c keyand keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screenselect the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in themenu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the leftside>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice,and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’thappen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior orif the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, oryou may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directorystructure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quitthe installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go toApplications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Are you in your user account?
In the Import window you'll see a Desktop folder at the root level of our drive. You don't want that one.
You want the one in your the folder for your user account.
