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 :-(

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.

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.

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 ..

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.

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.

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.

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.

MOV is a wrapper that can contain many different codecs. The message you get is indicative of a distribution codec inside the MOV wrapper. You may need to convert the material to an editable codec before importing.

How can I get iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) to import .mov files?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 2 TB SDD running Mavericks that I bought 2 weeks ago.
So far I have imported about 5,000 photo files into iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) plus about 25 videos as .mov files.
But on today's import session, it stopped taking any more MOV's, giving the following error message:
"The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." and it then it lists the .mov files.
I tried rebuilding the LIbrary index, and have even tried creating a new Library and importing my smalles (12 Mb) .mov file to this new test library.
But I keep getting the same error.
I have the most recent version of all the software (i.e. no new updates are available.)
What else can I do?

I figured out a solution: The drive with the .mov files was a USB drive formatted as NTFS. iPhoto would import .JPG files from this OK, but would refuse to import .MOV files, giving the error noted above.
I found that if I copied the files from the NTFS USB drive to an SD card or to the Macbook Pro's internal SDD, I could get iPhoto to import the .MOV files without any problem.
Why does iPhoto 11 have a problem importing .MOV files from external USB drive formatted as NTFS, but no problem importing the exact same files from an SD-card formatted as FAT-16, or from a folder on the Macbook Pro's internal HD?

How do you import MOV files to iMovie?

I can't import MOV files into iMovie -- from my USB disk. The icons appear grey. Any idea what might be wrong? I tried converting files to MP4 using Miro Video Converter -- but, it was unable to convert my files.

I have already tried dragging the files to my desktop -- and, then importing them from there. Doesn't work.
