How to import .MOV files coming from everio camcorder ?

How can I import .MOV files coming from everio camcorder to imovie ? All I've tried failed, iMovie doesn't want my files, or even recognize.
All answer welcome.
Thanx

JVC released the Quicktime Components update:
<http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm>
which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:
The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
Here are a few basics:
1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

Trouble importing .mov files coming from FCP/Mac

Hello,
My friend works on Final Cut Pro on Mac. He gave me rushs from vidéos he imported (and the exported) on FCP.
An example of these files is here :
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9S9yK830UrNM2QyZTBhYWEtYjM2NC00NWNiLThiZTktOWQwZGNjNzY1O GMz&hl=fr
There are several file sizes 1280 / 720 and others.
Codecs are : Codec : MPEG-1/2 Video (xdva)
Codec : PCM S16 LE (sowt)
I can read the files with VLC on my computer.
When I import the files on Premier Pro CS5... it crashes the program.
I went through the forums... tried to download more codecs via Klite Codec Pack. I also installed Calibrated(Q) XP Options... but i'm not sure i used it right.
In the end, I am unable to do anything... and I am extremely frustrated, and MAD at Apple and it's never-compatible formats.
Anyone can help ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I downloaded your file and I can also confirm that it freezes both PremierePro CS5 and CS5.5. It just freezes when trying to create peak file.
I also have Calibrated(Q) XP Options.
Quicktime Pro tells that it is XDCAM-EX 720p50 1280x720
With Quicktime Pro you can export it to other format, I tried Avid DNxHD 720p/50 and Premiere opened it nicely.
But 300 files...

HT1473 how to import movies to iTunes from personal DVD's

Don't understand how to import movies on DVD/s to the iTunes library

If these are personal movies and you have the original files (that you created the DVDs from), use those instead. Converting to DVD then back reduces quality.
And as Skydiver119 noted, it is illegal to break the encryption on commercial DVDs, even if you own the DVD.

How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

Hello,
I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
I am using Windows 8 OS.
Thanks!

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

I Movie 9, How to import MOV files?

I imported video files from my JVC camera. File type is MOV. Files are now located in my documents folder. I have not managed to import those files to I Movie. When I take a look files in Finder, Finder claims that MOV files are I Photo -files? How do I manage to import these video files to I Movie? At the moment I can not open files at all.

Hi,
I work for JVC and would like to try and help.
The best & easiest way to bring JVC Everio camcorder video into your Mac is through iMovie '08 or iMovie '09. Launch iMovie, then connect the camcorder via USB. When you do this, you will get a USB Menu on the camcorder. The 1st option is "Playback on PC". Select that, and iMovie should recognize the camcorder and then show a preview screen with thumbnails of every scene that is recorded on your camcorder. If it does not automatically recognize the camcorder, you can select "Import from Camera" from the iMovie menu, which should work. Then you just select the scenes you want to import. It's that easy.
Files are saved on your Mac as .mov format. No special settings should be required. A Quick Time MPEG2 plug-in is needed to play them in Quick Time, or you can use iMovie to export them in a variety of other formats.
Please note that older versions of iMovie cannot be used without first converting your JVC video files. I don't recommend that, as it adds extra time, and can degrade the quality of your video. Also, you cannot first copy the JVC video files from the camcorder to your Mac, and then import through iMovie. You need to connect the cam, and go directly into iMovie as described above. I'm not sure why, but that is the case.
I hope this helps.

How to import .mov files that wont play in QT (but play with vlc player)

I have a batch of .mov files of which QT only plays the audio (video is blank) - same thing when I try to open in Final Cut Express HD. I am able to open these with VLC player. How do I convert these files so that I can edit them in FCE? I am suspecting maybe these are HD files and the problem is related to that.

.. interesting to learn a drawback of FCE to FCP, one not mentioned to me by the Apple sales associate ..
perhaps, it was 'too self-evident' for the sales-person, that FCE is meant for camcorder-imports with a few consumer formats only, DV (as from miniDV), HDV, AVCHD (=last two get converted automatically to AIC) - done.
.. in my main area, iMovie, we permanently read, how people are surprised, that those editors are made _by concept_ as camcorder-editors, not 'file-editors' .. Apple/mov='editable by Apple/FCE' is a fallacy ..

Importing .mov files converted from DVD

Hi
I have video which was originally shot in SD format using a Sony HDR - XR200 camera. (I need to shoot in SD format in order to be able to play back resulting DVDs in standard players) The SD footage from the camera is burned directly to DVD using a Sony DV Direct DVD recorder. I then use DVDxDV to convert clips from the DVD into .mov files. Having imported these .mov files into FCE 3.5 I get a message saying they are not optimized for FCE and should be recaptured. When I drag them onto the timeline they do show in the viewer at 29% size but I cannot see any picture on my external monitor.
Do I need FCE 4 even though I am not recording the original footage in AVCHD ? Do I need to use an Apple HD codec in the DVD to .mov conversion process?
Any advice appreciated - many thanks

Hi Tom
Converted clips are;
Vid rate 25fps
Frame size 720 x 576
Compressor DV PAL
Data rate 3.6 MB/sec
Pixel aspect PAL-CCIR 601
Forgive my ignorance but where do I get the item properties for the sequence I am editing into?

How to import .MOV files in PRE7 ?

Hi, can anyone tell me an easy way to import (and edit) a h.264 .mov clip into Premiere Elements 7?
I am using the trial verison right now and am an absolute newbie to PRE7 ...Thanks a lot in advance!

Paul, thank you very much for your quick response.
I'll try to answer your questions...
I have recorded some HDTV movies with my new (photo- and movie)camera Canon Powershot SX1 IS.
They come along with 30 fps.
Do you need any more informations? PRE7 just comes around with the message, that .mov files are not supported :-(

You need a Firewire connection to import directly into iMovie. If your camera does not have a Firewire connection (most have both Firewire and USB) then you will not be able to import directly. There are work-arounds for that situation, but you asked about direct import.

When I import movies to imovies from a camcorder, the sound does not import. IPhone movies import completely.

I'm trying to import movies from a Canon camcorder into iMovie. The picture imports ok but there is no sound.
I've tried using camera connected as well as card reader. The card is a 16gb SD card.
iPhone movies import ok with sound as well as video.

in your iPhoto preferences is look up location set to "automaticaly"?

How to import/move files from CF card

I have installed the test version of LR5. First step was to import all my files into the new catalogue. Worked fine. Second step was taking a CF card from my camera and moving all the new pictures to my pictures folder on the HD and import them to the catalogue. When using Canon's ZoomBrowser EX Card Utility I had the option to move the files which was exactly what I wanted. Surprisingly LR5 allows me to "Copy as DNG" and to "Copy", but "Move" is grayed out. So right now when importing pictures from my CF card, the pictures are still on the CF card and occupy storage place. I might understand if Adobe prefers to Copy files, so you always keep a copy/backup. But if I always only copy files, then after some time the CF card will be full and I cannot make photos anymore. What is the Lightroom way to cleanup the CF card after the pictures are imported?
Regards,
Werner

The idea is you keep the photos on the card until you are sure the transfer has been made without error (believe it or not sometimes hardware malfunctions and the transfer has not been made properly), and until you have made proper backups of the photos on your computer. After that, you are free to re-format your camera card, as you now have an "original" and a "backup". There was never an implication in anything done by Adobe that you need to fill up your camera card and keep the photos there forever so you can't use the camera card again.

How to import mpeg files downloaded from a Google Drive?

I recently downloaded 18 large clips of a recital which were in .mpeg format. iMovie refused to import any of them. Is there a way to do it and make a movie out of them? The combined files total almost 2 GB.
Thanks.

… A final question -- besides the fact that a DVD-R will only hold 4.7 GB of data, could I make an iMovie at either 420p or 720p? …
a) the standards of videoDVD allow only 480i (PAL: 576i) - so, somewhere in the workflow, camera>>edit>>disk-authoring, the resolution has to be conformed to that standards.
b) size (MBs/GBs) doesn't matter in disk-making, but length (hh:min:sec). Due to the various conversion processes which take place in the making of the disk, the file-size of you project has no relevant info. Just its length. A normal, single-layered DVD fits up to 1h in perfect quality, 2h in acceptable quality, and if the authoring apps supports it, you can squeeze literally 'hours' of video onto a single disk... with tame pic quality...-
so, silly example, a 1080/60p project, 90min, exported as proRes -Master could be 60, 70, 80GBs in size - but fits onto a 4.7GBs DVD-r ..

PE 10 importing .mov files to a Mac, error message regarding codecs missing.. Help, please

Premiere Elements 10 ... When trying to import .mov files directly from the source, error message says, "codecs missing or unavailable". So I'm stuck.

I have no experience working with a Zoom cam. But sometimes it helps if you install the camcorder's software on your computer. This can install the necessary codecs. (And, of course, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.)
Most likely the cam shoots in a proprietary MP4 codec. So starting a new project and setting it up for Flip cam video might also activate the necessary codecs.
If it still won't go, then version may not have the ability to interface with this camcorder's footage.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.
