    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    With that information we can give you the specifics of the how to. There are marked changes in the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 workspaces as compared to version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
    Also, what do mean by
    vob-file (old Video format)
    Do you mean that you have a VTS_01_1.VOB file that you ripped from a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and saved to your computer hard drive?

  • How do I import a .vob file into iMovie?

    I friend sent me on a CD a video she took with a Sony camcorder, but I cannot import it into iMovie.  I've found several forms of software to convert the Sony file into a format iMovie will recognize, but which is the best one?  Is there a free option?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

    In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
    Thanks
    Greg

    Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

  • How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

    I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

    Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Importing DVD video into iMovie

    I am a novice at video. I have DVDs of 20 year old 8mm Camcorder video that I want to edit in iMovie. I am using HandBrake to make mp4 movies which I can then import into iMovie. But it takes hours for HandBrake to encode the mp4 files and then even longer for iMovie to make thumbnails even of just a few minutes of video. What am I missing? There must be an easier way to do this???.

    I got everything to work using the Disk Utility except I didn't get any audio imported to iMovie. Funny thing is when I use DVD player to play the mounted image, it plays both video and audio perfectly. I just can't get the audio imported properly into iMovie 08.
    Any idea?

  • Copying a dvd video into iMovie

    I have a DVD of my sons football game that was created b on of the dad. It is set up with a menu like you get with iDVD. I am trying to load on to my system so I can put into iMovie where I can cut out portions of the video and add music, etc.
    How do I get this loaded on to my system??

    Are there instructions
    Of course. Do a Google search for the home pages of the applications and see what they have to offer. I believe DVDxDV even has a free trial mode.

  • How can I import old email files from Simeon into Apple Mail?

    I used to use Esys Simeon for PC for mail at work.  I recently found my Simeon email files, which I thought I'd lost.  If possible, I'd love to import them to Mail, to have as part of my general email archive.
    The files come as a set of nested folders.  The lowest level of folders each contain a set of separate numbered files each of which contains one email in plain text (complete with all headers).  The folders also contain a number of other '.dat' files with info about the folder contents.
    I'm on Mail 4.5
    Any ideas?

    No. But…
    one email in plain text (complete with all headers).
    How do you know it's plain text? File name extension ".txt"?
    Message Handler?) type file system to mbox
    Not likely. MH would be text, .dat suggests binary. "Mh" in "mh_cache.dat" may stand for "message handler", but it's not MH.
    Try Emailchemy (test it, don't buy it until you know it works). You might have to change file name extensions from .txt to .eml. Or try to find some documentation of Simeon's file formats and directory structure. I doubt it will be easy to find a converter. Given your description, I'd probably use AppleScript.

  • How can I import my xdcam files (Sony PMW200) into final cut pro

    Hi.
    I just got a Sony PMW200 but cannot figure how to import files into Final Cut Pro 6. I copied the SXS cards to my hard drive and am trying to figure out how to import it into Final Cut.
    I would really appreciate a little help.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Brian

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • HT4489 How do I import a csv file of contacts into my icloud contact list?

    Would like to bring outlook contacts from Enterprise Email that have been saved as a CSV file into my icloud contact list.  I keep getting pop up that says it won't allow my process.
    Thoughts

    You would need to do something like create a Gmail account, then export your Outlook contacts to Gmail (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-outlook-contacts-to-google -gmail-HA001148902.aspx), then export the contacts as a vCard from Gmail (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

  • Imported PAL VOB files are misinterpreted as 540 pixels high

    I'm trying to import PAL VOB files into an FCP 5.0.4 sequence and though the import and playback goes well, the files are wrongly reported as being 720x540 instead of 720x576, leaving me with unusable footage because the interlaced PAL video is rendered with horizontal stripes of alternating interlaced/fused fields.
    The only way to restore some degree of quality to the footage is to apply an anti-flicker filter at maximum strength, but it's a crummy solution considering the video height should have been properly interpreted in the first place.
    Could someone please tell me how I can import these vob files with their proper dimensions?
    Thanks for any help.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   FCP 5.0.4

    download MPEG Streamclip
    open the vob file in MPEG streamclip and use File > Export to Quicktime to convert it to DV PAL (or whatever codec you are using)
    Compressor: Apple DV PAL
    Quality: 85% (or higher)
    Sound: Uncompressed
    Frame Size: 720 X 576 (DV-PAL)
    Field Dominance: Lower Field First
    then click the "Make Movie: button
    ... import the coverted file into FCP

  • Question About Importing DVD Video to iMovie 9

    I have some home DVDs with 3 types of files on them (.BUP, .IFO, and .VOB), and they are all grayed out when I try to import them in iMovie. iMovie help says the format has to be in MPEG-4, DV, or .mov files
    What's the recommended converter/process to get the DVD video into iMovie?
    All I really want to do with the video is capture clips from the DVDs

    Hi Appleman1958,
    Here's situation: I have several DVDs that were burned from home videos (high school football games, etc.). I don't know whether they were burned using iMovie/iDVD or some other program. I need to pull clips from the individual DVDs and combine them into a new DVD. I've edited movies that were recorded on my digital camera with iMovie and burned the project to a DVD using iDVD, so that part isn't a problem.
    My questions are as follows:
    1. I downloaded the QuickTime component and Streamclip, per the instructions in your post dated 12/5/09. After I installed each application (or thought I did), I dragged the files from the "download" folder to the trash. Now I don't see the applications in the Finder. Did I uninstall the applications when I dragged the downloaded files to the trash? Also, the file types in the trash are "Disk Images" (.dmg). Is that correct?
    1. Will the QuickTime MPEG2 Component/Streamclip process work for DVDs that weren't created using Apple software?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Importing DivX 4.1.2 encoded video into iMovie HD 6

    I had a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz machine. With that, I could import DivX encoded video into iMovie HD 6. I had installed DivX for Mac 6.5 to allow this import.
    I just switched to a new machine, MacBook Pro, Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz.
    I migrated over to this new machine using the Migration Assistant.
    I just updated the system to 10.4.8 this morning.
    When I import the same DivX encoded video into iMovie HD 6 now, the application crashes immediately.
    Something did not get migrated properly...it seems.
    Interestingly, there are a few video files that I had saved on my old machine using QT 7 Pro (still DivX encoded), and they import just fine on the new machine. I tried resaving the DivX video on the new machine in QT 7 Pro, but this does not rectify the problem. Very odd. I also now can not get QT Pro 7 to export these files as another encoded file. I could do that on the old machine.
    I hope someone can provide me with the insight into the plug-in or reloading of something that will fix this problem. Is it compatibility of the DivX codec with the new Intel processor?
    Thanks everyone.

    I'm working on a video at the moment and the way I'm dealing with it is with MPEG Streamclip. Hard drive cameras use a different format and you cannot import directly to iMovie. (Looking to go back to Mini DV Tape the way things are going)... Had to pay for MPEG Streamclip but it transcodes back to DV on the fly and then you spend hours importing to iMovie. I use a JVC Emperio hard drive Video camera. There is quite a deal of quality loss during all the various transitions unfortunately. You can also try... *Download and install DVDrop. This converts the .MOD MPEG-2 formatted video into standard Digital Video (DV) for iMovie. (see www.dropdv.com).* (cannot vouch for that one though. I'm going to try this evening. Thanks to Zac.

  • Import of VOB files from DVD are cropped to 540x480, instead of maintaining native full raster of 720x480.

    When I import the VOB files from a DVD, they are automatically cropped to 540x480, which strangely is 9:8 aspect ratio, instead of maintaining native full raster of 720x480. Inside of Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Streamclip, and DVD-Lab Pro, the DVD's VOB files open with the correct aspect ratio, and the resolution is indicated to be 720x480.

    The answer is to move to Pro Tools Adobe is not concerned with you anymore. They are only concerned with their profits.
