Having problems importing graphics

I am new to FCP X - I am making a corporate. I am using the QT to take screenshots showing a website being used - but when I get it into FCP the screenshots are a bit soft - this is also occuring with graphics I am creating in Photoshop - any suggeations that will help me get nice sharp graphics?

What are your project settings?
I thought this was a pretty helpful best practices doc for graphics.

I am having problems importing from a DVD or a CD to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I initially set everything up on a computer with windows 7, and authorized the windows 8 computer as well. Howevre, the oly thing that comes up on windows 8 is my purchases

I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store. I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos. As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs. The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

Having problems importing my .mov file.

I am having problems importing several .mov files into iMovie. I also can't import .wmv files and I have been utterly confused. I know I have to convert the files but I don't want to pay for a program because I will only be converting 4 files. Please help!

What is Mpeg Streamclip
It is a free conversion application that accesses the QT structure and all installed QT components without having to pay the $30 for QT Pro or purchasing GarageBand. It's "engine" is MPEG-based, so it can do some things that QT Pro cannot do ( e.g., retaining audio content when converting multiplexed compression formats). On the other hand, it cannot perform layer operations like QT Pro can so these applications are somewhat complementary.
and is there anyway you can send me a link to download this program please?

Im having problems importing prores files at correct frame rate

im having problems importing prores files at correct frame rate. they have been converted to prores at 25fps but on importing they appear in fcp as 30fps. any help would be appreciated.

I don't know anything about Wondershare. But it seems something may have got messed up in the conversion. Or maybe there is an identifier on the converted clip that has FCP confused and it really is 25 fps.
To begin, your sequence settings don't match your clips. You want a Pro Res sequence. Let FCP set this automatically by dragging a Pro Res to an empty sequence and when gives you a message asking whether you want the sequence to match the clips, click yes. Then hit command 0 again and see whether the frame rate is set at 30 or 25.
If it really is 30, then it will need to be converted and re-imported. It can be done in Compressor or in Cinema Tools. If you have used Cinema Tools before, great. Of not, I'll defer to others because it's been a while and I don't want to mess you up.
Good luck.

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

Having problem importing midi files.

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble importing midi files in GB. Every time I do all I get is a single insrument, and not the whole midi file as it was when I downloaded it. I tried Dent du midi and cant even get that to work. It looks like it is working, but never seperates the tracks. I would really like to be able to pick apart midi files. Anyone have any ideas. This is my first Apple, but I have been a PC Tech for 8 years now. (I Hate PCs, I love the Mac)

Welcome to the forum. Yes, sometimes these issues occur. Since I am the biggest importer of MIDI files to GB3, I will see what I can do for you.
First, when you wish to import a MIDI, drag the file onto an empty area (ie no tracks) of the GarageBand window. Hold until you see a + sign. Drop, and you should see the tracks appear.
How did you obtain the MIDI file? From the Net? How did you save it? What were the steps?
Do you have Quicktime Pro? Sometimes the way you save a MIDI file will make a difference. You have a choice between "save as movie" or "save as source", and I believe the latter works best.
Has it worked for other MIDI files? Or is one or two giving you issues? Perhaps if you can post a link to the MIDI file, I can have a look at it.

Is anyone having problems with graphics since yesterday?

Icons and graphics, photos and videos, are not showing in Firefox for me. I had to use Internet Explorer for last two days! Help!

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/flash-113-crashes
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Problem Importing Graphics

When I import an image, whether it's an illustrator,
photoshop, jpg, or gif file, the quality of the image is poor. The
text can't be read. How do I get a clear graphic image imported
into Flash without losing the quality of the text in the image? If
I make the image larger, the text looks good. But if make the image
smaller (which is what I need to do for this project) the text
becomes unreadable.
Any thoughts?

Yes, I believe I am importing a file into the flash
aurthoring environment although I am not entirely sure as I am new
to flash. I am working with a previously created flash file and the
graphics that where used in it needed corrections. When I import
the corrected graphic/image (image/graphic was created in
Illustrator) I lose the quality of the text that was used in that
graphic/image especially when it is scaled to a smaller size. I
have tried bringing the image into photoshop and resizing, also, I
have tried to bring in the image in as a .gif and a .jpeg files and
still the quality of the text is poor. I am uncertian if I am doing
something wrong with I resize the image. I have tried resizing it
in Illustrator, and Photoshop. If I don't resize the image and
bring it in as it's actual image size, the quality of the text does
not get lost and is readable.

Having problems importing AVI files

I am getting an error message when trying to import an AVI file. I converted a whole batch of MOV files to AVI files because when I imported the MOV files into Premier Elements 9 it would only play back the first five seconds of audio on each clip. Now, only about 4 out of the 20 AVI files will import. With the other files I get this message "This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed." WHAT THE HECK!!!!!! They are all the same type of file converted from the same type of file at the same time! WHY THE HECK will adobe import a few (and play them back fine) and not the rest! I am seriously in tears. I HATE Premier at this point. All I want is to put our family videos on DVD. I have spent HOURS just trying to get Premier to recognize the clips. Seriously?!?

The main conversion program, that I use, is shareware, DigitalMedia Converter (Deskshare), and I have an older version, 2.7, that has been replaced. My older version cost US$ 49, IIRC.
For MOV files, I often use Apple's QuickTime Pro, with is an upgrade/unlock, that costs ~US $29.
With those MOV files, what CODEC is used in them?
There are certain CODEC's, often seen in the MOV wrapper, that are Mac-specific, and there is no PC version available. The FCP AIC (Apple Intermediate CODEC) is one of those.
If one has SD (Standard Definition) material, on a PC, the ideal format is AVI, but specifically with the MS DV/DVC CODEC. Those files will Import perfectly, and edit smoothly.
Now, when it comes to CODEC's, I always recommend finding out the exact CODEC needed, and then downloading and installing only that/those. I always try to go "to the source" for my CODEC's, and will pay for a commercial CODEC from the originator, rather than install some free version of it. I also shun any CODEC "packs," as many can cause all sorts of problems.
Please let us know what the CODEC/CODEC's is/are, and then perhaps we can offer a bit more direction.
Good luck,
Hunt

Having problem importing scanned jpgs from ScanCafe

I had some old pictures scanned by company called ScanCafe. When loading to LR 5.4 it will load but when you click the thumbnail to develop. It has an exclamation point and give message, Lightroom has encountered problem reading this photo. This same picture will not upload to Flickr getting the message This file failed to upload. But jpg will load in Facebook, SmugMug or Google Photos. I believe that it is the jpgs the problem, but company is saying its not their jpgs.
I've attached a link to the jpg picture maybe you can shed light why this jpg cannot be imported to LR 5

I am not a real computer tech, so this probably isn't going to be a lot of help to you. I encountered the same problem you did. So I next opened the file in Photoshop, made a slight adjustment in brightness. Then I saved and closed the image. Next, I imported it into Lightroom again and was able to work with it in Lightroom without any of the error messages. It looked the way it did when I finished using Photoshop. I don't know how to tell you to fix it any other way. If you have Irfanview you might try that. Or, if you have Photoshop/Bridge and know how to use the image processor you might batch process images and resave them. Then try working with them in Lightroom. Incidentally, when I first opened it in Photoshop I received a message that the file may be damaged or truncated. But I clicked on the button to continue, and got the results I described.

I'm having problems importing a movie from my Panasonic Lumix DCM-ZS1 to iMovie

Hi, I'm new to mac and I have a Panasonic Lumix DCM-ZS1.
When I import my movies to iPhoto, the clips play perfectly, but when I try to open them with iMovie, they look very dark. The only solution I've found so far is to open them with Quicktime and export the video as m4v it can be opened in iMovie without a problem. I think it might have to do with a codec or something like that.
Here's a video of the problem.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

You don't need the Clip Browser...just get the Log and Transfer plugin and use FCP to import. I have a workflow here, with links to the software you need:
Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial
If you use the CLip Browser, you need to use IT to convert the footage to Quicktime, then bring the QT files into FCP.

Having Problems importing XML file from FCP 6 onto a FCP 5 application

I have a project file that i worked on FCP 6 and wanted to move to FCP 5 app. on a different Pro Mac but when i try to import the xml, it prompts me to "Please choose a Translation Document File". I choose the FCP 6 project file because i wasn't sure what to choose and i get the ERROR: No translation templates matching the selected XML file were found. Unable to import this file.
any ideas?

make sure you exported your XML from FCP6 using a compatible XML version (1, 2 or 3) ... version 3 would make the most sense as its the most recent FCP5 compatible version .... don't export using version 4 (the default for FCP6), that one is for transfering projects between different installations of FCP6 only
