How to ignore videos when importing

I want to import only photos, not videos. How do I set up Lightroom 4 to ignore (not show) videos in the import screen?

just installed v3.6 again for a different test a minute ago.. videos are there in the import dialog by default.
im not 100% sure if LR 4 supports more video formats....im not really using LR for video so i don´t care much.
but that´s maybe why you don´t see the videos in LR 3.6. just a guess....
i have issues importing some video and always get a error message during import.
i store my travel videos in the same folder as the images and that´s why i would like to exclude videos from importing.

Any way to stop autoplay of videos when importing?

I am importing a large number of videos into iTunes, and find it incredibly annoying that it tries playing each of them as I import them, and then I need to rest the ones that start playing to new. Is there some hidden preference that allows me to stop autoplaying videos on import?

This script can be used to turn that off: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/download.php?sc=changehiddenprefs

How do I make still Images the same size as the video when importing? CS5

Hi,
I'm having a problem importing and using still images as they are so large.
The video is 720 x 576 and the image I want to use is 4752 x 3168
How can I scale it down to fit with the video. Currently it just zooms in to a part of the picture making it pretty useless.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Lois

I made a tutorial on this exact thing.

Event library 1 hour limit on video when imported videos are longer

In my event library, none of my events are more than 1 hour in length, and the video after the 1 hour mark is unavailable. When I import the event it says "87 minutes imported" or however long the clip is, yet only the first hour can be viewed, added to project etc. They are not all exactly 1 hour, some are 58 or 59 minutes, and the longest is 1:00:54 long. It is frustrating because I'm trying to import football games to make highlights, so I'm missing a lot of matches. Why is this happening/how can I access the footage in each event after the 1 hour mark? Please help me!

Rodrigo,
We seem to be able to "stream" (progressively download) videos over 35 minutes on PCs, but not on Macs. Without more input from Apple, we don't really have any clue as to what is responsible for this problem. We had considered breaking the files into several parts to take advantage of the streaming capability, but we have decided to just have our students download the entire files if need be, since the only users affected are Mac users.
I'm just now testing to see if there is a duration limit on streaming files over the PC. After a little playing around, I think there might be a limit to the PC's streaming capabilities as well. I'll update this thread with any discoveries.
But from what I can see, you should be able to stream files over the PC. How much bandwidth does your school have?

No video when imported into itunes yet vid when file outside

This is really weird
i converted 2 videos i had by using quicktime video player to convert it to ipod format
if i leave these 2 videos on the desktop right click and choose play in itunes they play perfectly in the itunes window or fukk screen
Yet if i import them into itunes when they play in itunes they dont show vidoe only audio
delete from itunes and play from outside itunes again and the video is back!
they play perfectly in quicktime player
Any ideas what the heck is causing this? they are standard m4v conversions.
I tried deleting them completely and reconverting with quicktime and exact same results

ok i think i figured something out
it now does this with all my videos in itunes BUT
if i pause any video and restart it the video suddenly appears and plays
its a pain to have to play stop and then play every-time though

Green distorted video when imported

Several times I've run into a problem with importing .mp4 filetypes. It doesn't happen with every mp4.
They play fine in Movie Maker and VLC. When I import them, they are usually green with pink and very distorted. I've tried Rendering them and it results in the same distortion. I've tried saving them in Movie Maker first and that usually results in the audio disappearing but the video will be clear, plus it makes me feel very foolish for spending the money on Premiere if I have to filter it through another program first.
I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a relatively powerful PC. i7, 32gb ram, win8.
After doing a lot of research I'm really not sure what I should try next. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I need to think about this some more. But, what you could try is renaming just the file extension of the file...
mp4 to .mov
mp4 to .avi
mp4 to .mpg
mp4 to .m2t
mp4 to .m2ts
It looks like you have AVCHD video compression and AAC audio compression with the .mp4 wrapper. Those should be compatible, unless there is some sort of special codec involved.behind the AVCHD tag?
Conversion to another format may be the answer, but let us see. Movie Maker was going to be my first choice, but then I saw that you tried that and found it helped the video but not the audio.
When you are getting this pink green representation in Premiere Elements, did you say the sound was unaffected or not?
More tomorrow.

No video when importing mp4s to iMovie '11

I'm trying to make my friend's acting reel, which means I'm getting a lot of videos in different formats. Mainly, they are mp4s, and upon import I have the audio, but just a black screen. Any suggestions other than converting to .mov? I'm using iMovie '11. If not, any good freeware for converting? I've been trying to use VLC but that's been giving me good audio and really pixelated, weird video (I'll add a screenshot when I'm able).
Thank you in advance!!!

The best tool I've seen recommended by longtime contributors to the iMovie Discussion Group is called MPEG Streamclip. It can convert to .mov but more specifically it can save it into the Apple Intermediate Codec which iMovie uses internally to do all it's editing within the program. Once converted to AIC .mov it will import right into iMovie without any further transcoding and conversion (one step in effect).

How to ignore Errors while importing !!

Hi ,
i am trying to import a dump using imp command. Out of 10000 user objects, 5000 objects has got imported successfully. Meanwhile because of a LAN failure, import was not able to continue. And again i tried with import the same. System is trying to import each and every row in table, and the log file is populated with all unique constraint errors. Is there a way to suppress these errors or else the best way is to drop all objects and import again. This is my import command. Kindly advice me.
USERID=bditest/bditest@aspac
FILE=D:\dump112\first10022009.dmp
FROMUSER=BEIFLEX
TOUSER=bditest
LOG=D:\logbdi
IGNORE=Y
STATISTICS=NONE
compile=N
BUFFER=1000000

Hello,
Ignore=N should be good enough to handle, so it will give your an error that table already exists and no rows will be inserted.

How to ignore DOCTYPE when parsing xml java?

Hello
i am trying to parse some sml files that have:
<!DOCTYPE ModuleRoot SYSTEM "C:\xxx\xmlapp.dtd">
i don;t have the dtd file
how can i ignore it by changing my code and not changing the xml file.
DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
this.doc = documentBuilder.parse(xmlFileName);
i got exception in this.doc = documentBuilder.parse(xmlFileName);
(The system cannot find the path specified)
Thanks in advance.

You need to create an EntityResolver that returns a dummy DTD. Since you aren't actually validating, this can be as simple as:
        db.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver()
            public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
                throws SAXException, IOException
                return new InputSource(new StringReader(""));
        });For more information, here's an article that I wrote on [XML parsing and validation|http://www.kdgregory.com/index.php?page=xml.parsing].

How to handle error when importing taxonomy for product using XML?

We are on MDM 5.5 and built a repository for SAP R/3 Material Master. It has basic material information and taxonomy information as well. We built an import map based on an XML file, which includes basic info as well as taxonomy (classification) info. The import process runs smoothly. But if the import file includes some materials which characteristic values don't exist in MDM, the import will fail and exception file has a complete different format as our import file also it only display one material. Therefore, we cannot reprocess the exception file for errorred out items. What could we do wrong? By the way, we use "Create Pivot table" option in MDM to create the original import map.

Hi Micheal,
I Think your problem is similar to the below one,you can refer the below link for the same.
Import file using Pivot Tables
What you need to make sure is that you are using the same structure of the source file for importing as you used while creating the map else it wont work.
Your schema of the source file as well the schema used when creating the map must match.
You can refer the below links to know more about Taxonomy data importing:

Audio only, no video, when importing .avi - VP60

I'm trying to make a machinima (Sims 3) and am new to "serious" video editing and Premiere (I have done little projects on Windows Movie Maker and stuff like that before). I'm using the trial version of CS5.5.
My problem is that whenever I try to import .avi clips, they import as audio only and no video. The files open fine in Windows Media Player. The weird thing is that this has only started happening in the middle of my project, after I've already successfully imported and worked with several files recorded in the same way (and so I assume they were the same format).
After researching this issue as much as I've been able to, I downloaded the oft-recommended Gspot utility and took a look at some of the problem files. It says the codec is VP60, but that I already have it installed.
I haven't, to my knowledge, done any kind of converting or compressing of any of the videos before this happened. Another weird thing, though, is that files that imported correctly before are now only importing audio just like the newer ones.
I have tried converting these files to mp4's and other formats, which brings the video back into Premiere, but at a great loss of quality. I've also tried updating/reinstalling Quicktime and even a system restore, all without any luck.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I have a deadline FAST approaching!

This is a distribution format, not intended to be edited, because of the heavy compression. You have several options:
1. Try with consumer editor, like Magix, or WMM.
2. Convert to something editable and accept the quality loss.
3. Get the original, not compressed material from the copyright owner.

No video when importing an asset

I have tried compressing a file in Compressor using best quality 150 min. 4:3. When I drag it into DVD Studio Pro, and scrub through the timeline, I don't get any picture until I drag it to the end of the video. I can't get any other part of the movie to show except for that last part. The audio is fine. I can click on the file through Finder and preview the movie, which looks absolutely fine through the preview, so I'm pretty sure it's not Compressor's fault. I am new at this, what should I try and do?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Have you encoded the audio to Dolby Digital? Can you build the project and preview it with Apple DVD Player before trying to burn it.

Does anyone know how to join tracks when importing a symphony? The new iTunes does not do it for me

supposedly therer is a "NO" to check on mounting an audio CD. There is none
supposedly there is a "Combine tracks" choice in the right hand corner of iTunes. There is none.
Any suggestions? (I only do classical music and try always to combine movements of symphonies and concertos etc.)

One Event created when importing photos from many dates

This is my first time using iPhoto, and I imported a few hundred images from my camera dating back about 7 months. I viewed the tutorial, and my understanding was that different events would be created based on the date of the files. Instead, it created one huge event of the date I imported them. Is that the way it operates? One this I was able to do with the app I used on Windoze was to have the images go into directories named by the date, so images were separated by day. Is there a way to specify that in iPhoto, or do I manually have to create events by splitting them once they are all in my Event that is dated the day I actually imported them?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How photos are separated when imported is set in iPhoto's Events preference pane:
Click to view full size
When importing from the Finder, i.e. a folder on the hard drive, all of the photos will be in a single Event unless that checkbox that's pointed to in the screenshot is checked.
FWIW my workflow is to upload after every shoot to a folder, name the folder to identify the occasion of the photos and import the folder into iPhoto. This gives me an Event with the same name as the folder. I also rename the photos with the international date format for the date the photos were taken: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg, -002.jpg, etc. This avoids duplicate file name issues that can crop up at a later date.
I then have the camera reformat the memory card for the next shoot.
