Having trouble importing video files

hi, look Im kind of new on this program so I have been importing video files to the project but when I watch them they appear without sound. If I open them in quicktime or any other player they do have sound but its like final cut does not recognize the sound on them. Do anyone know about this? it happens in different types of video files, even when I open the "item property" thing and I look at the format there is a list there but sound issues do not appaer. please let me know if you know something.

Importing from...where? What format are these files? FCP doesn't work with just any QT file...they have to be editable codecs. Not all QT codecs are editable.

  • Im having trouble importing mov files into premiere pro on creative cloud, have installed quicktime

    Im having trouble importing mov files into premiere pro on creative cloud, original problem was no video and only audio when I imported mov file, so I have installed quicktime after reading that may solve the problem,but now an error message reads codec missing or unavailable, any help would be appreciated

    MOV is a wrapper... what is inside the wrapper?
    Codec & Format information, with 2 links inside to read
    -read both links in reply #1 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1270588

  • Having trouble importing .MOV files

    I have a Canon EOS 60D which shoots video clips with a file extension of .MOV.  I have Premier Elements Vers.8.0 and when I try to import the clips, it errors out and says it doesn't support .MOV files or Codec is missing...I'm not even sure what that means.  Is there a fix for this?  Please let me know, thanks!

    Welcome to the forum.
    If that MOV "wrapper" contains the MJPEG CODEC, and Steve will know, then you might be able to install the Canon MJPEG CODEC, which should be included with the camera's utility disc. It might be a separate installation, but more likely installed with the camera's driver, or, most likely, along with a Canon editing, or cataloging utility, such as ZoomBrowser. Even if one does not use that utility, having the proper CODEC installed might allow PrE to edit the material. Using the version of MJPEG that the camera maker uses, is the ideal, as most mfgrs. tweak the MJPEG CODEC a bit, so a commercial version of MJPEG may not work effectively. See this ARTICLE for more details. See this ARTICLE for more general info on CODEC's. This ARTICLE goes into more detail on Video formats, as "wrappers."
    Good luck, and I hope that with the installation of the Canon MJPEG CODEC, PrE will be able to edit the material.

  • Having trouble importing videos into iPhoto

    Yesterday I restored my iMac, after backing up all my photos and videos in iPhoto to a hard drive, using File > Export in iPhoto.
    I've just tried to import all the photos and videos back into iPhoto after restoring, but I cant import the videos.
    I keep geting a message saying the following files could not be imported with a list of all my videos.
    the file types are a mixture of AVI, MP4, and MOV.
    Im not sure where im going wrong,
    thanks

    to backup up your iPhoto library you must drag it intact as a single entity to an external drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - exporting photos does not back up your library - only your photos - and exporting video only gives you a preview of the first frame unless you expor the original
    Unless you have a backup of your iPhoto library you probably have lost yru videos

  • Having trouble importing .avi file to iMovie

    When I import a .avi file tp iMovice, I get an error window that states: "Error during import. The file could not be imported: Unknown Error"
    Anybody can help? Thank you.

    Hi Lennart,
    Thanks for your reply. First of all, please forgive me that I am a dummy in computer. My .avi file contains a video converted from a DVD (.vob file) by a software "XRay4". The "codec" when converted (I could see from the export window) is "XVID". The file name extension after converted contains ".avi". Thank you so much.

  • Having trouble importing videos from phone to mac. Please help?

    I was trying to transfer video from my iphone to my Mac and nothing is happening. When i try to quit iphoto i get the message
    "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait to import to complete."
    Not sure what to do. Tried restarting the computer to no avail.
    Note that I am very computer challenged.
    Help please!

    As a test depress the option key while launching iPhoto and create a new test library, will they impor tinto thei test library ?  Post back with the results of the test

  • Still having trouble importing AVCHD files

    Sorry, but I am still confused. I have a private folder/ then a AVCHD folder / then a BDMV folder / then in the BDMV folder I have.....CLIPINF folder - INDEX.BDM file - MOVIEOBJ.BDM file - PLAYLIST folder - and STREAM folder. I really have no idea how to import or what to import into FCP X. Please excuse my ignorance on this. All iIhave been using sre .mov files. I am lost.
    Best.
    Tom

    Thanks Tom and Paul,
    All seems OK. I was going to have the client drop of the original cards today but I tried a few things last night. The folders that came from the cards are located on my media drive. I used "import from camera" then found the "AVCHD" folder that resides in the "Private" folder and the hit the "open archive" button then import all. It worked. Not quite sure I understand what is happening but it worked. What do you think?
    As always, thanks for the help.
    Best.

  • I'm having trouble importing video from my panasonic hdc-tm900 into iPhoto.

    it used to work fine (at 1080p/60) and when i plug it in to the computer it shows the older videos i have already downloaded, but not the new videos. they are all 1080/60. I'm running a new macbook pro with mavericks. i believe this is the first batch i tried to download with mavericks... i can only load the videos in one bunch ono the desktop and open them with quicktime, but can't export or import to iPhoto. curious!

    What version of iPhoto do you have?
    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Try to import some videos from the camera and the Desktop to test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • 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 …

  • [Solved] Kdenlive & Openshot crash after importing video files

    I'm not sure if the culprit is today's update, but I am having problems importing video files in Kdenlive and OpenShot. When I try to import .MTS / .MKV / .MP4 video files, both programs immediately cease to work.

  • 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.

  • ITunes library not importing video files.

    Hi All,
    I'm having trouble getting video files into my iTunes library on my Windows Home Server.
    I have the latest version of iTunes running (10.5) on Windows Home Server - all working fine with music. However when I either drag, add through "Add File to Library" or putting the file in the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.
    The file either just doesn't add at all, or in the case of the "Automatically add to itunes" folder moves into the "Not added" folder.
    I know that the video files I'm adding are okay because:
    - They play in QuickTime fine
      - A fresh install of itunes on another computer adds them fine and they appear in the Movies Library no problem.
    I've tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes with the same result. If I create a totally new library - also results in the same problem.
    Any ideas? Seems something about iTunes on my server (windows home server) is resulting in it having issues with video files - once again music is no problem at all.
    Many Thanks in advance.
    Stew

    I wish i knew. It seems to be very random in which videos it doesn't add. Is it too much to ask to watch SNL clips on my iPod?

  • I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

    I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

    More info please:
    Type of camera?
    Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
    Type of files the camera is set to record?

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.
