How do I use MPL file from Panasonic camcorder in iMove?

My file type from my Panasonic HDC-SD9 doesn't show up when I open iMOVE. Doesn't iMOVE support MPL files from Panasonic?

I'm guessing your files were MTS or something else, as I've never heard of an MPL file. You should ask your question over in the iMovie forum as this one deals specifically with Final Cut Express.
Edit: As I recall we were discussing using your camcorder in FCE over here:

How do you download SDHC files from Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder to a MAC

i bought a panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder. when i try to download files from the SDHC memory card, i only see
a still photo and it appears i cannot download files onto my MAC. the manual for this camcorder tells me that
i cannot download files from a SDHC memory card except onto a PC. however i am in a remote area and i do
not have access to a PC--only a MAC laptop.

I am also new to Firefox. From Firefox start screen click the add-ons icon. In the search box at top right type in " music downloads " and click the magnifying glass - many options will appear by clicking on the blue " more " of each option you will receive additional info. Hope this helps, I have used the Flash Video Downloader add-on with great results.

HT4889 How can I use all files from every user on my mac?

Is there a way I can share all of the files on my computer to where every user on one computer can access files from one user to another? All help is appreicated!

That is so contrary to the way of OS X that I seriously doubt it.
I would suggest that you just create a single user account and let everyone log into that single account.

Transfer files from panasonic camcorder (HDC-HS300)

Hi there -
I am using the new Panasonic HDC-HS300 Camcorder that records in the AVCHD format. All working fine. I loaded up my Final cut express software, all fine - but I can't seem to get the vide that I recorded into the software. I haveconnected the USB from camcorder to Mac etc but nothing is being transferred. It seems that all I am getting from the Camcorder is 'Thumb.TDT' & 'Thumb.TID' files, which when I drag into FCE 4 it says unsupported or not a known file....Maybe the actual video files or somewhere else?. It seems to be a bit of a task to get this up and running or probably just my own lack of experience. I remember using a simple digital camera with video facilities and as soon as I plugged it in to the mac, the files were opened right away in imovie. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, tips or help.

I'm wondering if you were able to resolve this problem? I'm very interested in that same camcorder, and you are the first person i've heard of trying to use it with FCE4. How do you like the HS300?
thanks
Steve

Premiere Elements 2.0 how can I edit MOV. files from my camcorder

I have Elements 2.0 and I can't get it to work with the mov. files from my canon digital camcorder. The picture does not even come in and then I tried to convert the mov. file to mpeg2 and that worked ok but when I moved it to the elements editing software the video played perfect but the sound would not come in at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, MOV is but a "wrapper," and can contain all sorts of "stuff," mostly different CODEC's. This ARTICLE will give you background on what can be inside those "wrappers," plus tell you how to "peek" inside of them.
For most MOV files, I use Apple's QuickTime Pro (US$29 upgrade/unlock), and choose DV-AVI w/ the DV/DVCPRO CODEC (compression) and 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV for the Audio.
About the only MOV format/CODEC, that I do not have issues with is the Animation CODEC. I use those in PrPro to edit natively, when an artist, or client provides me material from a Mac. I just specify the Animation CODEC, and things work fine. Other MOV CODEC's - well, not so well.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I open RAW files from a Panasonic DMC-GF5 camera using Elements 10 on my PC? When I try to open a Raw file I get a message 'wrong type of file'

I believe you need ACR 7.1 which PSE10 cannot be updated to.
Use the DNG Converter to make DNGs from the RAW files and those should open in your older PSE version.
You can also buy a newer version of PSE. Perhaps do a Trial (Try) of PSE12 and see if PSE13 comes out in the next week or so.
The DNG Converter can be found on this page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

How to use .mod files from a JVC camcorder?

Hi All,
I'm trying to find the proper workflow for using .mod files from a JVC Everio model camcorder. I was able to transfer the files onto my system by simply using the included usb cable from the unit. It simply mounted the camera's flash card on my desktop and I was able to drag all of the files from it.
As others have posted, the .mod files are not accessible using the Import function in FCP. I am able to open them with MPEGStreamClip as other have suggested. My question is, how should the files be converted to use with FCP and/or DVDSP? In MPEGStreamclip the file shows the video stream as: 224 MPEG-2, 720 × 480, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 8.40 Mbps, upper field first. I tried a few of the demux functions. The straight demux to .m2v & .ac3 yields a file that opens in QT, but it shows up as a 640x480 file and is noticably squeezed. Using the demux unscaled yields a file that opens in QT as a 720x480 file and looks somewhat better. And using the demux to headed yields as file that opens in QT as 720x404 and presumably is the correct 16:9 ratio.
Trying to use those same files in DVDSP didn't get me very far. If I create a new HD project in DVDSP I can import the straight demuxed file and the headed file. The unscaled file won't import. If I add the imported files to tracks the straight demuxed one will play in the simulator but the headed one simply shows a green screen.
I'm hoping that since MPEGStreamclip can play the files, its just a question of figuring out the proper export/conversion settings. My end goal is to produce a dvd of the footage (not exactly sure if I should be using an HD project or a SD project set to letterbox). I also need to produce a web-ready version of the footage. I haven't tried this yet but I'm assuming that one of the QT exports from MPEGStreamclip will get this done correctly.
Hopefully someone has a workable solution for these files.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
I looked further on this forum and found others that had the same problem. One suggested connecting the cam corder first, then start iMovie, then wait for a few minutes. I did this and it worked!!!!!
Problem solved.
Thanks.

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from Facebook. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

How do I retrieve a file from Trash using Time Machine in Mavericks?

Is it even possible to retrieve a file from Trash from a Time Machine backup? Does Time Machine even back up the Trash? I've been told a total restore from a Time Machine backup will put the past Trash back on the Mac, but what if I just want to restore an individual file?
Shortly after emptying my Trash on my Mac (10.9.4) for the first time in weeks, I realized I needed one of the files I'd just erased. Trying to retrieve with Time Machine was not fruitful, however, because I couldn't find the file on any of the past backups using the normal Enter Time Machine interface. However, I know it would have been in the Trash during all of the most recent backups.
So I researched how to find the backups of Trash with Time Machine, but I think all of the solutions I found on various online forums were pre-Mavericks and do not seem to work now. I've basically tried 2 things:
Show Trash in Finder using the Terminal command: open ~/.Trash
It shows the hidden Trash folder in Finder, located in Macintosh HD/Users/User. For easy access, I added the .Trash folder to the Finder Sidebar. But I can't get to it in the backups. The Trash shortcut in the Finder Sidebar is always grayed out in the old backups using the Time Machine app. And it does not show up in ~ when looking through the backups.backupdb folder on my external HD.
I also tried the Terminal command to show all hidden files in Finder: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
But while many hidden files do suddenly appear in Finder, curiously, the User's .Trash folder is not one. This is true for the Finder of the Mac, the backups.backupdb folder on the External HD, and Time Machine app.
Thanks.

How do I retrieve a file from my backup in Time Capsule?
It depends on the type of file that you are trying to retreive.
In general.....
Open Time Machine by clicking on the clock icon on the dock
Wait a few minutes for Time Machine to fully load
Use the timeline at the far right of the window to go back in time to a date when the file was still on your Mac
Click that date
Navigate using the Finder interface to locate the file that you want
Click on the file to highlight it
Click Restore at the lower right of the window to be brought back to the present
You have to retrieve other types of files differently. For details, see:

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?
