The Sony Cybershot stores clips as MPEG VX (MPEG-1) files which cannot be edited in iMovie '08. Use an MPEG-based, third-party converter like MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your files to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 video with Uncompressed, DV, AIFF, AAC, or other iMovie '08 compatible audio.

  • I am having trouble importing files from file sharing in the same household.  I have followed the tutorials but do not have the tab at the bottom of Itunes "Import to library"

    When I go to file sharing on Itunes, I am unable to import files to my itunes.  I can play them, but am unable to move them to my library.  I have been through the tutorial and when I get to "show menu at the bottom of library" there is no menu.  I do not have the tab "items not in my library" or "import"   I have been through the upper tab and see no option in the view menu and have also consolidated the files.  Any suggestions?

    Error code -36 is an i/o error. That usually means that the computer is having a problem reading or writing the file you're working with, which in turn usually means that the drive has a problem. A sudden slowdown of the magnitude you meantion usually means a severely damaged directory or physical damage to the disk. I'd run a disk fixer such as Disk Utility or Disk Warrior on the slow drive. If it reports problems which can't be fixed, which I suspect it will, I'd back everything up. I just had a LaCie 250GB drive die on me with similar problems (i/o errors, very slow access) and returned it under the warranty.

  • Having touble importing Quicktime movies into FCP....

    I keep getting an error message saying ;"File error; 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    Can anyone please help me with this? This should be the easiest thing and I'm having trouble. Very discouraging after spending so much on FCP
    Thank you,
    ~Pat

    You probably won't be able to do it in FCP - though maybe...
    I generally use QTPro to convert stuff that I haven't already captured myself. However, if it is an odd codec that QTPro won't even do I'll use Handbrake or some other 3rd party app like that.
    If you can use FCP I'd set up a BATCH EXPORT from the browser window and if you have multiple files you need converted just batch them all together. OH - maybe even compressor will do it.
    Actually -- you have lots of options.
    Let us know if you need more help. I'm not going step by step until you need it.

  • I'm having trouble importing files into GarageBand?

    Hi! I'm really new at this and I'm in a podcast course. I'm trying to edit the audio and import one clip into another file, but it won't let me no matter what format I use (the original or MP3)
    I keep getting this message:
    The patch is from an older version of MainStage. Open the patch in MainStage 3 or later, export it again, then open it in Logic Pro.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks.

  • I am having difficulties importing files into Thunderbird. Where can I find live chat supprt?

    Before one of my email accounts closed, I saved all of the material from that email account to a sub-folder I created under Local Folders, and saved all of the information as .msf files to my computer. Now when I open Thunderbird, all of the material from the former email account that I saved to the folder is no longer there.
    More importantly, this is a complicated problem that requires more than one answer. Does Mozilla offer Live Chat support, and where can I find it?

    christ1 -The reason I didn't provide more info is because I saved these files to Thunderbird over a year ago, and this problem just came up recently, so quite frankly, I don't remember all the steps I took to save the files at the time. Also, this one-question-at-a-time type of post-and-respond takes hours, and doesn't allow me to check things as I go along in real time.
    Secondly, the main other reason I posted here was to see if Live Chat or any other form of actual '''in person''' support was available. This problem is complicated since we're talking about two different computers, and I've done about all I can on my own. It seems that Live Chat has been cancelled, as James mentioned, so I'm totally stuck without any way to get the files that are missing. Again, I am totally flabbergasted that a company as big as Mozilla seems to be completely unreachable and unaccountable to its users, truly unbelievable.

  • I am having trouble importing files to LR 5.6.

    As usual, I plug the camera in [Nikon D810] and the photos automatically import. The following day, LR says there are no photos to load. Also Preview Unavailable comes up! What's up LR???

    Thanks. I tried all of my cameras to see if any issues with importing was the same. All cameras and USB cords are different, but still LR cannot import photos. There are a few blank previews that show up, but they will not import.

  • Import files not successfully uploading/rendering

    I'm having trouble importing files successfully. Just tried uploading a batch of about 20 clips. Maybe 3 actually successfully rendered and appeard with a corresponding thumbnail in my Event window. The rest appear as an image of a white document icon and yellow caution sign on a red background. I never used to have this issue. Recently I installed OS X Mavericks and have really struggled to succesully import clips. Sometimes I have to upload 5, 6 or even 7 times to get all of the clips I need into the events page.
    Anyone have advice? Thanks!

    Nope. Not a pirate. Admittedly, I have been using this version for some time, and I don't get prompts for software updates. I'll make sure I do this now. Didn't realize the solution was that simple. Thanks for your help.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT5294 I am having trouble importing converted .MTS files

    I am having trouble importing .MTS files converted from file not camera.
    Data rates are low and not match 3 camera editing seq. (2 camera HD files imported off camera into iMovie)
    I am using Wondershare Ultimate 3.0 and have tried several options in HD & Editing sections
    with custom selections.
    Codec- Apple Interm. for iMovie files

    you do have access to the original mts?
    then use the free re-wrapper reMux
    takes just a few seconds.
    on import to FCPX don't forget to optimize for a better editing experience …
    most of those free/cheap 'converters' from AppStore abuse the open-source ffmpg-engine (without respecting the GPL)  with wrong settings …
