How not to import a duplicate video?

A while back I connected my still digital camera which contained a few videos along with my photos. After importing I deleted almost all my photos and none of my videos, I wanted to leave some of the photos and the videos on the camera.
Now when I import photos from my camera it asks if I want to import duplicates, I select "No", and "Apply to all". This works for the photos but not the videos, it keeps importing duplicate videos into iPhoto.
Is there a setting I can change to fix that?
Thanks!,
Wesley

Is there a setting I can change to fix that?
No. You will have to change your workflow to get around that issue. Upload from the camera to a Folder first then where you can cull out the duplicate movies before importing the folder.
I've found that all of my movies get caught by the duplicate filter when imported from a folder on the hard drive so you may not have to manually cull them out.

Use File/Import/Movie and navigate to the file.

How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

iTunes and the iPhone do not support WMV files. You will first have to convert the video to an MPEG4 or H.264 format video.
Handbrake is free and should be able to do this, see https://handbrake.fr

How do I import my (many) videos so iMovie separates them by the date they orig. were made?

How do I import my (many) videos so iMovie separates them by the date they orig. were made?
(Like iPhoto does with photos) But not one at a time! If that is not possible with IMovie, can iTunes do that?
I want to import my videos from an external drive to my Mac Book Pro 10.8.3. Thank you so much for your time and patience.

Hi Walter,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will give you some insight as to how iMovie organizes video:
iMovie '11: Organize your video
Organize the Event Library
When you import video from your camera into iMovie, you name the video (called an Event), and then by default iMovie lists it in the Event Library by the date it was recorded.
To separate clips in the Event browser by the days they were recorded, choose View > “Show Separate Days in Events.”
You might want to do this if you have any Events that contain video that was recorded on more than one day. For example, an Event could have video recorded on New Year’s Eve and on New Year’s Day. To find specific clips more easily, you could separate the footage by date.
I hope this information helps ...

How do I import pictures and videos from my iphone4 to my computer and/or itunes?

how do i import pictures and videos to itunes and/or computer?

If for photos/videos in the Camera Roll, iTunes has nothing whatsoever to do with importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll.
I don't believe it is an unreasonable in the least to assume that someone with an iPhone has used a digital camera before and has imported photos from a digital camera at least once with their computer.
And a little advice - people that answer questions here do so voluntarily. It is not a good idea to tell someone who volunteers their time that they didn't answer the question. You may not understand the answer and if not, say so along with I've never imported photos from a digital camera before and/or describe the problem you are having so maybe someone can help you. It is a good idea when asking for help not to assume that someone can read your mind and knows what "I too have problems with this" means exactly.
You're welcome.

You can't, natively with the iPhone. The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To do what you want requires third-party software, like this:

How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?

How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?
iTune doesn't seem to be able to get this done...

You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. They will all transfer songs but if I recall, only iPodCopy also does videos.

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

How do i import iPhone 4s video to iphoto

I cant get the videos on my iPhone 4S to sync wirelessly into iphoto. Is this not possible or am i just overlooking some little checkbox somewhere?

I'm having the same problem. With photostream enabled in iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) and preferences set to copy/import into an event yet it doesn't move over movies shot on my new 4S. I figured its because the file might be a little on the large size because of the new camera. But with the phone plugged in via usb to the mac and iPhoto open it doesn't show up like it used to do. Same in iMovie: it doesn't see the iPhone as a 'camera attached' from which to import videos. The only options given to export from the phone are 'Message' and 'email' which probably means compression. So how do we save our 1080 videos shot on the 4S to our macs ?
turning photostream off does not do anything to make the iPhone appear either.
Setting preferences for the iPhone in iTunes to 'include movies' in the photos tab doesn't do anything.
Can't find the iPhone in Finder either.

Imovie will not import the whole video, only a portion. How can I import the entire video?

I am new Imovie user and I am having some difficulty importing video from my desktop. The whole video is on my desktop, but when I try to import it in imovie, only a few minutes of the video imports. How can I fix this issue?

Hi
A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).

How best to import .mod/.moi video files easily into FCP?

We are struggling to import video off a SD card into either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. How do we this easily?

.mod is a MPEG Program Stream container for standard def MPEG2 video files.
.moi is a management system for playing back those files and does not contain any video.
More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOD_and_TOD_(video_format)
You can probably convert the .mod files to an editable format like ProRes LT with MPEG Streamclip Even if that software cannot process these particular files, it is a very useful tool to have around for lots of other reasons. It is also free so you have nothing to lose.
