HT1014 i movie 08, 7.1.4 not recognising clips to import from camcorder

Hi ,
I have a panasonic HDC - SD40.I have imovies '08 version 7.1.4
The first 2 clips I recorded on it last year are the only 2 clips that i movies will recognise each time I connect it to my PC .So I have a year of recordings that i cannot get onto my computer .
What do i need to do ?
Thanks

Thanks for the advise, and I did try that. It is unfortunate that when the show was recorded, the camera operator used one mic on stage, and one off the camera. This gave me a very strong left side, and a very weak right side, with the audio. Using QT, I can balance it out, but it becomes very low in volume. Will a program such as FC Studio II, give me more access to the audio fixes ? Or, can the volume be brought back up later in the editing process ? Can the existing audio be exported? If so, to what ? Then can it be imported, fixed ?
Thanks, J. W.

Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 not recognising opacity/alpha values from After Effects

Hello, I'm importing AE compositions directly into Media Encoder to output as 'Match Source - Medium Bitrate H.264' files. However Media Encoder is not recognising the opacity values of the layers in AE and the background images are coming out as opaque rather than partially transparent.
How can I resolve this? If I render the movie from AE as a .mov then use Media Encoder it works fine, but that takes a lot more time.

Can you post screenshots of your comp in After Effects and the result you are getting from AME?
One issue you may be hitting is that AME is not aware of the composition background color. This is a limitation of Dynamic Link; because a primary use case of Dynamic Link is placing an After Effects composition, such as lower-thirds titles, into a Premiere Pro sequence, Dynamic Link ignores the background color of the composition and treats any the background pixels as alpha. In AME, since there is no compositing happening, black is used to fill in the alpha area.
To work around this limitation, place a solid at the bottom of your composition layer stack that is the color of your background.

Star Rating bar does not appear with images imported from file

Using Elements 11, cannot get the Star Rating bar to appear under images imported from file, although the intro to the program shows this as happening automatically.
Hope this goes through, as I have also created an account, but the question does not seem to be get a post.

Import from Camcorder that's not on 'supported' list

I've been trying to import from my camcorder, Canon Legria HF S20. Tried several times, won't save in iMovie, says 'Missing Camera' in iMovie file after it's finished supposedly importing. I've been trying to import using a usb cable, hitting all the right buttons on the camera. Importing from 2 SD cards on the camera, as well as the Hard Drive.
This camcorder is on the list of 'supported' cameras for the last version, i.e. iMovie 11, but not the latest.
Anyone?

To use a camera with FCE, it needs to be DV and have a FireWire connection. Your TRV250 does both. Digital8 is a Sony thing, but under the covers it is a DV codec recording on a Digital8 cassette. There are some technical differences in the tape transport speed and how the magnetic recording is made on the tape compared to miniDV tapes, but the codec itself is DV, and the output via the FireWire connection is also DV. So, it should work with FCE, and iMovie too.
The only way to know for sure is to give it a try. Find your local Apple store and take your camera there & try it. That's the same advice we'd give anyone, regarding any camera.
Oh, and by the way, I noticed that your profile says you are running 10.0.x - for FCE-HD you need at least 10.4.6 and QT 7.0.4 - check the full specs here.

Dates not coming with photos imported from shared libraries

My partner and i both have macs, we both use iphoto. Usually we use the shared photo library features to exchange photos so that we both have all the photos we want.
The problem is that the dates don't follow. I'd actually like to see all the metadata imported (faces etc) but i'll live without that but the dates is a real problem.
I'm pretty sure they used to come with the photos imported from shared libraries, not sure why they stopped... Ideas?

How are you sharing the Libraries? How are you reading the dates?

CS6 not recognising NEF (RAW) files from Nikon D800 [was:NEF files]

CS6 not recognising NEF (RAW) files - Nikon D800 is compatible - not sure why - can anyone help with this query

John Waller wrote:

Well… I just don't see the wisdom or prudence in updating to 7.1 when 8.3 is available for CS6.

Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

I've several clips in a cs4 project. All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder. When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline." When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences." Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage. If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem? Thanks for your help.

I figured out what has happened. The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3. The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec. For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough. I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
Thanks for your time.
Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there. What's with Premiere Pro? Irritating.

How can i recover corrupt .mov files that quicktime does not recognise?

we recently 'lost' a whole day's footage by accidentally deleting it. in trying to recover these files we have used many different programs and have had odd results.... sometimes the data is recovered and shows only thumbnails but not the proper film and othertimes says tht quick time cannot open the link because it doesn't reconise the codec. these clips were filmed with a Canon SLR camera and we have searched the reformqatted sandisks as well with the same result.... quicktime does not recognize the file.
any thoughts? it would be a tragedy to lose this footage... well not really, but you know - a whole day's work!
thanks in advance for your help.

I managed to rescue damaged AVCHD footage using photorescue. Some files were not complete, but I got them to play by trying different players like VLC, or mpeg streamclip, then exporting the clip as a new same format file. One or two were too badly damaged to rescue, but I got most back eventually.

Audio not in synch when importing from passthrough

I am trying to transfer some old home movies from VHS to DVD. I am using the passthrough on my Sony TRV-120 to connect the VCR to my Mac.
For some reason the audio is not synchronized with the video after import, however, when watching from the VHS tape it is fine.
Any help is appreciated.
My specs are as follows:
MacPro Quad Core 2.8 Ghz
FinalCut Pro Studio 2
OSX 10.5.4

I see this question on forums all the time and I see bonehead crap telling people to buy new hardware or software or other trivia. There are real-time, easily implemented things you can do that will fix the problem, immediately and without fail
1. Convert small as small a chunk as you can at a time. If its a concert, do it one song at a time. If a tv show, go commercial to commercial. The shorter the chunk, the less frames dropped and the less lag time and potential for getting really out of synch.
2. This is the most important factor: frame rate. The most likely reason you are getting out of synch is that your computer is not fast enough to keep up with the frame rate. Most set the rate at 30fps. Try tweaking it down to 20, then watch how many frames you drop as it's converting: most decent conversion software has a read-out telling you. I use Blaze Media Pro myself. If you are getting almost no dropped frames, you can probably bump it up some, if still too many, knock it down a little. There is very little noticeable difference in 15 to 30 fps, in fact, if you plan on uploading it to YouTube or otherwise converting it, the framerate is going to be sharply reduced anyway.
This is an almost foolproof way to avoid video/audio synching problems when converting from VHS. I took the time to post this because I was tired of seeing all the useless advice posted on this subject.
Video editing and conversion takes a lot of CPU power. If you really intend on getting into it in a big way, you'll need a strong CPU capable of handling the load. Other than that, framerate is probably your best bet in making do with what you have.

I'm getting an 'error image is not supported' message when importing from my iPhone to iPhoto

Hello helpers-
I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro 5,5 hard drive (1TB) to a 1.5TB hard drive. I used migration assistant to transfer everything over. So far everything works great with one exception. My iPhoto library will not upload images from my iPhoto 5 anymore. Same goes with my iPad 2. I get a message saying 'error image file is not supported'.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
Also my iCloud sign in just keeps getting the thinking icon when trying to sign in. It will do it for hours. I've tried rebooting, shuting everything down, I updated everything I could and yet I'm still getting issues. Thanks for your assistance!... and happy New Year!

That was a test to determine if the problem was limited to your original library or was system wide. Since the new library worked OK the culprit is your orginal library.
Therefor Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Aperture Not Recognizing Duplicates When Importing From iPhone. PhotoStream is Involved.

Apple makes great software. Aperture is not some of it.
Here's my setup:
'11 MacBook Air OS X Lion
Aperture 3.2.2
iPhone 4 ios 5.0
1.5 TB External Drive. Aperture Masters and Library reside there, separate from each other.
I keep my photos in a structure such as: Aperture Masters > Year > Month > Date > original_photo_name
I'm running into trouble with Aperture not recognizing what photos are duplicates when it comes time to import photos. My workflow is that I'll import photos every so often, leaving them on the iPhone, and delete them twice a year.
ISSUE 1 (The Annoying One):
Aperture is showing a lot of photos that have already been imported even if I select "Don't Import Duplicates". Aperture has done this for a long time. I know that when it comes time to importing them, it doesn't import the duplicates, but this is just a sign that something doesn't work very well. (Maybe it's because I switched to an iPhone 4S and then back. I synced all my photos, and then back again to my iPhone 4, so the sequential number of the photos remained intact. I don't think that's the problem though.). This is just a minor annoyance that shows that Apple can suck at software (remember MobileMe?).
ISSUE 2 (The serious one):
short version: Some photos on my iPhone won't sync to my Aperture library because it thinks they've been synced through PhotoStream. They are not in my Aperture Library or in my Aperture Masters in the filesystem. How can I fix this. What bloody file do I have to delete for Aperture to stop being confused?
longer explanation: When iOS 5 came out, I was excited by PhotoStream. I had enabled it on my MBA, through iPhoto (I hadn't installed Aperture on it yet, as I was using an iMac to manage my Aperture Library). I believe it synced a bunch of photos from my iPhone, but then I stopped using it on my mac. Left it on on my iPhone. Installed Aperture. I initially enabled PhotoStream but swiftly disabled it once I was not sure how it would deal with photos being uploaded from my mac etc - just seemed like too much magic was going on. I then proceeded to sync my iPhone, not importing duplicates, and it synced a bunch of photos, but didn't sync some of them, displaying the following message:
Any tips on how to fix this and be able to import those images would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. - I thought that iPhoto might be causing the problem. I checked there and there were some images imported through PhotoStream, but not some of the ones which were not imported on Aperture. Putting that another way: the iPhoto library accounted for some of the images that were not imported, but not all of them. I deleted the iPhoto Library and tried reimporting with Aperture. Still no luck.

I have precisely the same problem. Very annoying. Worked fine with iPhoto, borked with Aperture 3.

Custom Field values are not saved. when MPP imported from another instance.

Hello Mate-
Currently I am merging one small instance (I2) of PWA in our corporate instance(I1). as the corporate instance is huge, we are doing manual merge of groups, securities, users, custom fields etc. also downloading the MPP as xml from I2 and then planned
to publish from I1.
There are few project level custom fields which are being used in MPP. and those fields may have formulas too.
I created same custom field in crporate environment(I1) but while trying to open the projects in our corporate environment(I1), the project custom fields are gone.
Could you please guide me here, I am lost. I can not do a data base migration ans it would override all data from I1 instance so need to do it manually.
Many thanks

Hi
You may not be able to do this as the custom field GUID's are different in both the instance.
You may write a macro to copy the custom field data from one to another one
