Half of my imported files do not import the entire file?

I recently shot some high speed video using 2 Phantom high speed cameras. After converting the clips form their raw format to AVIs at 5 fps, I imported them into Premiere Pro CS5 to put together a side by side comparison. All of the AVIs imported into Premiere, however approx. half of the clips didn't fully import. For example a clip that is supposed to be 01:09:24:13 is coming in at 00:00:28:27. It's not a random compression, because when I compare the clip playback in premiere it does indeed represent the first 28 seconds of the AVI. I tried converting the files again in the Phantom software. One of the clips I was able to import and get the entire clip, however subsequent attempts for the others has not achieved the same result. I even attempted to import the clips into Premiere Pro CS3 on another workstation with the same results.
If anyone has seen a problem similar to this, a work around or a fix would be greatly appreciated, I'm on the clock on this one.

Welcome to the forum.
Though with different file types, I have encountered similar - file Duration is mis-read in PrPro. Obviously, something in that/those file(s) header is being missed by PrPro. I have yet to find out what. As per your case, it seems to be with random files from what should otherwise be a simple group of the same file types, with the same exact conversion settings.
In my case, I get handed a lot of different file formats, and just use a conversion program to get those to DV-AVI (in my case) for SD Projects. Often, I will have a situation, rather like yours, where I will have 5 files, whose specs. all match up (same camera and settings in your case), and the conversion will be batched, and all resultant files identical. From time to time, one of those converted files will exhibit the same characteristics, as you observe. VLC, or other players, will see the full Duration, as will G-Spot, or MediaInfo. However, PrPro is missing something in that one file, and the Duration is heavily truncated, just as has happened to you. Quite by accident, I found that my PremiereElements program had no such issues with the "bad" file. It would Import and see the correct Duration, where PrPro could not. I just Imported, dragged to the Timeline, and then Exported to the same exact file settings, DV-AVI. The resulting file was identical to the problem DV-AVI that I had Imported. G-Spot and MediaInfo say it exactly the same. Various file "comparisson" programs could find no differnces between the two files, yet PrPro now saw the Duration correctly. I only wish that I could tell what went wrong, regarding the Duration in the originally converted file, and then the one that I just Imported and Exported from PrE, but I have never found the difference. I have opened the files in hex-editors, and gone line by line, and cannot find anything different between the two - but something IS different.
While I have no fix for you, I can add slight comfort by saying, "I've seen very similar, and in similar cases - conversion." My "workaround" involves some extra steps (plus an extra Export), in another Adobe program (in my case), so is not ideal. However, now that I know to be on the lookout for the possibility, I just watch those Durations closely, knowing that I might need to work on one, or more, of those files, to get PrPro to see the proper Duration.
Good luck, and maybe someone can offer us both a totally fail-safe method.
Hunt
PS - I have encountered this with my old-fav, and generally flawless DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, plus several other highly recommended conversion progams, so it does not seem specific to any one conversion program.

  • JNI generated header file does not match the class file

    We have had a JNI project for many years and all has been fine. Within our libraries we have several classes that have inner enum classes.
    Recently we have moved to JDK1.7. Up to now when JNI generated the methods where the signature used the inner enum class, and it was an oveloaded method, we would get something like the following as the signature:
    Java_PackageName_ClassName_methodName_OuterClass_00024InnerEnum_2
    And the class file result of the build would look like the following:
    methodName(OuterClass$InnerEnum)
    Since we have moved to JDK 1.7 the header file looks like the following:
    Java_PackageName_ClassName_methodName_OuterClasss_InnerEnum_2
    The class file is still the same, and because of that when we run the program we get an UnsatisfiedLinkError. I understand that this error is because the VM cannot find the implementation. So why JDK 1.7 generates a header file that does not match the class file?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't have 1.6 to verify but your statements about what is generated for 1.7 for the header appear correct.
    The 000024 represents the '$' and for 1.7 the inner class is still named using '$'. So for example after compiling in 1.7 the inner class file is named the following...
    MyClass$InnerEnum.class
    So a one to one conversion should have kept the 000024 (presuming it does in fact do it that way in 1.6.)
    You might want to look at the release notes for 1.7.
    If you need a solution you could add a post javah step that renames the file.

  • Sender File adapter not deleting the source file after reading

    Hi everyone,
    In the sender Communication channel i have choosen the "Delete" option after reading the source file. But it is reading the file, but it is not deleting the file. I have checked the file status. it is with full persmission.
    can anyone give solution to this.
    Thanx

    Hi,
    1. set the mode to delete
    2. make sure the file is "deletable"
    3. check xiserver:port/MessagingSystem/monitor log to see what happens with the file

    Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"  -DSC8416.NEF  I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

    The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
    Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
    While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

  • Lightroom 4.2.  unable to import. message files were not imported because they cannot be read

    Lightroom crisis:
    suddenly, unable to import images into lightroom - A window comes up that says ""Following files were not imported because they cannot be read". I was in the process of importing images - 10 images were imported from the shoot then the import stopped.
    I tested the card and the card readers by using cards from different cameras and using different card readers. I was able to import the images into a folder on my desktop so know nothing is corrupted.. The memory cards are good, my card readers are good. no setting have changed in my camera. Nothing has changed in my routine. Have been using lightroom for several years.
    I import through a card reader, convert to DNG and save on an external hard drive. All very ordinary.
    No one I have contacted has had nor knows of anyone who has had this problem.
    Unable to get in touch with anyone at Adobe.
    Thank you for any help or direction to tec support

    On a quick read, it sounds like the same issue that had me dead in the water for 7 days. (LR 4.2)  I tested everything - my card readers are good, the memory cards are not corrupted, tried different cards from different cameras,etc. Working my way through all my tech savvy friends and professionals, I was lucky to connect with a great sr. tech person at Adobe.  After trouble shooting  all lightroom possibilities (3 hours on the phone) we checked my external hard drive where all the images are stored.  Even tho the external hard drive had plenty of space and "told me" that it was healthy and functioning well, Adobe had me go into the external hard drive's properties/tools and do a "check for errors.  12 hours later after the program went though the drive one file at a time, it found errors, moved them to a separate folder, and now all is functioning OK.  The hard drive had not crashed nor were any images lost.  As can happen after some time there must have been a scratch or similar that prevented more images from being written  (or read) to the drive.  Even though all is working OK at this time, I will replace my external hard drive (and it's back up external drive).just in case there are more "bumps" on the external hard drive.
    My tech knowledge is limited, and I am not intuitive  about anything digital, so can't add any more information then the experience I had.

  • TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

    Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
    Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • Import tabular data not working with Word file

    The File-->Import-->Tabular Data feature works fine
    with a text file, but only puts in table tags
    (<table></table>) when I use a Word file (same data
    with same delimiter in both files).
    Any idea what's going on?

    You will not be able to use Import Tabular Data with a *.doc
    file - how
    would DW know what to import when you give it the entire
    document? You
    would need to use either a plain text file, as you have found
    out, or save a
    new document containing only the table, and import that.

  • Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

    LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
    Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
    I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
    I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
    Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
    The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
    Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
    It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

    The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
    You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
    Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

  • When I try to import video, Lightroom-4 will not recognize the video files. How do I fix that?

    Lightroom 4 will not recognize the video files.  It will only import the photo files.  How do I import the video files?

  • MOV. files will not import from external hard drive to iMac.

    Do I have to convert MOV files somehow to be able to import them into an iMac from an external hard drive?
    The files were moved from MacBookPro to hard drive. They play fine on external hard drive but won't import into iMac which says file format not recognised.

    The file plays on my desktop and from the external hard drive, but I converted one file to an MP4 which then imported to iPhoto. Any recommendations on how to convert to MP4 files in bulk?

  • LR5 won't import photos Ijust took.  Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read."  And it's ALL the photos.  never had this problem be4.  what gives?

    Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." And it's ALL the photos. never had this problem be4. what gives?  Using an SD card, its a 64GB 600x Speed .  I'm on a Mac 10.8.5; iPhoto has no problem importing them.

    In order to see the windows that show sharing and permissions I gave you above, you have to right click on the the item, e.g. folder, HD, etc., and this window comes up.  Then you right click on "Get Info" and the windows with S/P pop up.  In LR%, if I right click on Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
    There is no option to "Get Info", and if I right click within Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
    Still no "Get Info".  If I click on the specific file (in this case "2015), this is all I get:  Last thought, yesterday out of desperation, I called the Apple store.  I am operating on Mountain Lion operating system, and Yosemite is the latest (as of 10/14).  The manager suggested that if there had been an update in LR5 that was now only compatible with this later system, maybe that was the issue and I should consider updating to Yosemite.  I had no problem downloading photos as of 9/14, but don't think I've done anymore since their update….when was the last LR5 (I'm using LR5.7 currently)?   Do you think this might be the problem with permissions?

    Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

    What folder structure?
    If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
    If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.

  • Import option is not showing the Data Source created using ODBC

    Hi all,
    I'm new to OBIEE, just installed OBIEE 10g in my system with the help of some reply from this Forum (thanks to Kalyan for this).
    Now when I tried to create new rpd, the Import option is not showing the Data source I have created. I have created new Datasource in the SystemDSN tab of the ODBC Administrator window,I have tried this by creating the Datasource in the UserDNS tab as well.
    Mine is Windows 7 Ultimate. The new data source which I have created through the ODBC Administrator window is to connect to SQL 2008 (I'm trying to get some table from SQL 2008 database), I don't have Oracle data base.
    While creating the Data source ODBC Administrator is showing only two drives (SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client 10.0 ) , so I have created the Data source using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0 drive.
    Can some one help me to understand the issue and to solve it.
    Thanks,
