How to import movies only from DSLR

Friends,
I sometimes shoot video on my DSLR. Right now, I tell FCPX to import files and the program displays all of the images on the camera's card, still and video. Is there an easy way to import just the video into FCPX without manually searching through the files?
Thanks!
Steve

In the FCP X file import dialog, there's a popup menu for how to view the files. Set it to "Kind" and it will show Movies and Images in separate groups.

How to import movie clips from DVD?

Hi,
A really stupid question, and possibly this has been asked before, but I am at my wits end--is there a way I can import video clips to iMovie from a DVD disc that contains video files? When I try to select 'import movies' from the file menu, it won't import the clips because the video files contained within the dvd are VOB. IFO. and BUP. formats, and the iMovie will only read MPEG or mov. Is there a way I can somehow import these clips by changing the setting somewhere in the iMovie or am I to require some other type of application to convert these files before I can successfully import them?
I'm really only trying to make a simple short clip, nothing big. The longest it will probably be is at most 5 mins. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Not by changing a setting. Multiplexed MPEG-2 content is not iMovie '08 "edit" compatible. Either the content is recognized as being on a compatible camcorder and converts the content to an "edit" compatible compression format or you must manually convert the multiplexed MPEG-2 content yourself for import at the "Finder" file level.
Any suggestions?
If your VOB files are not encrypted (i.e., on a homemade DVD), then they can be copied to your hard drive. Once on your hard drive, you can use any of several applications to perform your conversion. Cost and work flow depend on the application you use. I normally recommend a new user try something like iSquint for their initial attempt. It is free and simple to use. Simply drop the copied VOB file containing the video you want to the application work area, set the "Optimize for TV" option, and press the "Start" button. This will produce an MPEG4/AAC file that can be edited. Other applications can produce alternative compression formats for editing but are either more difficult to use or are not totally free. My preference would by MPEG Streamclip here, but it requires a $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component and s much more difficult to use since it has many more options and capabilities. Visual Hub (iSquint's "big brother") is as simple to use, but is a "pay-ware" application. In any case, the free application should allow you to do what you want and then you can decide if you need/want to invest more in the way of cost, time, and/or effort in a better application.
I use Quicktime pro as well to export any file to a version that iMovie will work with
Unfortunately, QT Pro will not work in this case since QT Pro is not conversion compatible with multiplexed MPEG-2 formats. Even if you add the $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component, it will only convert the video portion of the file. Use an MPEG-based, third-party application like those mentioned above or FFmpegX (donation-ware/difficult to use) or MPEG2 Works (Pay-ware that also requires the $20 MPEG-2 component, etc.

How to import Originals only from iPhoto?

Hello! I'm thinking about to switch from iPhoto to Aperture.
I'd like to import only the "originals" from iPhoto 08, let all the modified files alone, just to kind of start from scratch with post processing afterwards if needed (this is a) to avoid the doubled files, b) to get better pictures because of better software and knowledge).
I read alot in this forum - wow, thanks for all the shared wisdom! I did not find the answer to my question.
One more question: Can I import the "events" from iPhoto so, that they stay sorted the same way??
Thanks for any help!
Don

As a workaround I set all pictures in iPhoto back to original, then imported the whole library. So far for me the question is answered

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.

Importing .mov files from dslr?

Hey guys, working on a project in FCP. I've wrapped my files from my video cam to pro res 422, I have a few small clips from my dslr that are .mov files. Should I just bring these into FCP and straight to my timeline or do I need to take further steps before importing? Thanks for the help, John

From what I understood, you are working with Footage from two cameras? You already converted the footage from your video camera to ProRes, but you also have footage from a dslr?
I think that you don't need ClipWrap for the dslr, since it is a .mov... Just use compressor for your conversion.

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.

How to import movies from iMovies to memory card

How to import movies from imovies to a memory card.

Well, if you mean transfer movies from the iMovie events folder, go to that folder as in Finder-movies-imovie events, and drag a copy to your card.
Or, you could finish making the movie, and drag the .mov file from your desktop or wherever you have it.

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 do I move clips from one Event to another?

How do I move clips from one Event to another?
As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!

How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109). If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again. They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)

How do I move photos from one aperture library to another?

How do I move photos from one library to another?
Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
Thanks

That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.

How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

Hi All,
I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account? Try this. This is how I am setup. Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device. You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.
