I can't import mp3 or caf files into my project

I have FCPX 10.1.4 on a MacBook MacBook Pro 2,3 GHz i7 running Yosemite 10.10.1. FCPX version 10.1.4 I recently updated to this version of FCPX and now when I drag and drop a jingle from my iLife Sound Effects folder to my project or when I import a mp3 I can see the file but I can't see any waveform and I can't hear it. When I preview the music in the inspector I can hear it perfectly. I don't remember FCPX being like this.
When

Correct. That's not how it's supposed to work on the latest version as well. MP3 files should import and be converted to WAV. The jingles should work too.
First suggestion: hold down option and command keys when you launch FCP and delete preferences.

  • Can I import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
    I started with OWB10g and created a repository. After creating several modules I realized I had an Oracle 9.2 database in which to deploy the runtime stuff.
    I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer.
    I exported the 10g repository information to an MDL file.
    I dropped the 10g repository and created a 9.2 repository and also installed the 9.2 runtime components. All is cool so far.
    I then wanted to import the MDL file from the 10g repository into the 9.2 repository and its then I hit the snag.
    Is it possible to import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?
    I was hoping the format was a standaard CWM type that would be recognized by either version but it looks like I'm incorrect.
    Any other suggestions on how to get the 10g repository information into the 9.2 repository?
    I still have the 10g repository on another server so I am able to do other types (?) of exports or whatever.
    Many thanks for the help.
    Gary

    Gary,
    I am puzzled by the reason "I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer." OWB 10g comes with its own copy of 10g Universal Installer. I am not claiming to ever install on AIX myself, but can you list the errors you get, perhaps we can troubleshoot the underlying problem, rather than working around it.
    Not to dodge your question on exporting 10g MDL to 9.2. Even though this is an unsupported and untested scenario, because OWB 10g did not introduce any new objects, you can try editing the MDL as below. I don't see any risk in trying. Find the MDLRELEASE and RELEASE statements at the top (not the comments with #, they don't matter and change values back to 9.2, as in:
    MDLRELEASE=9.2
    RELEASE=9.2.0.2.0
    And becuase OWB 9.2 does not know what Database 10g is, if you have any Database locations in your MDL that are set to 10g, change them to 9.2 as in:
    [...]Oracle Database|9.2|[...]

  • Can't Import MP3 or AAC Files

    Hello All,
    I can't seem to import MP3 files (or aac) into Garageband. I've tried dragging a variety of formats and sample rates (including 44.100). If I drag an MP3 from Itunes to a space in the time line, it says "importing file" but then no waveform or file shows up anwhere! Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but I've looked at every tutorial video and how to video I can find and I can't figure out if I'm just missing something.
    Macbook Pro 2008, Garage Band 4.1.2 all updated.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    UPDATE
    After much experimentation, I realized that files which I imported to my new MacBook Pro from an original source (downloading or ripping from DC) can be imported to Garageband on that computer. I discovered this by organizing my library in Itunes by the "Date Added" field. All other songs that won't import to GarageBand were transferred recently from my old Dell.
    I also played around trying to isolate the issue.
    1. I took a file that had been imported from my dell to the Itunes on my new MacBook pro. It wouldn't import to GarageBand.
    2. I re encoded it as a WAV file using Itunes. Then it would import ok.
    3. I re encoded the WAV file back to MP3 using Itunes. It would then import again ok.
    So it seems it's how the file is encoded that is the issue. The original MP3 file that wouldn't import to GarageBand was a high quality 320KBS, 44.100 kHZ copy. Only after using the Itunes encoder would it work. But the odd thing is new files I download to the MacBook computer work fine too.
    Go figure. If anyone has a suggestion for how I can make GarageBand recognize the thousands of songs I imported from my old computer I'd appreciate it. Ideally it's an easy fix!!
    I also tried to reimport an older file from my Dell in case it was file path issue (which doesn't really ever happen with macs, right?). I deleted the old file off my hard drive. Then I had Itunes reimport the file from my desktop. That would work. It took totally converting the file using Itunes to make it work with GarageBand.
    Hope this helps some confused soul out in cyberspace.
    Cheers,
    Ian

  • Can't import Final Cut XML file into Premiere Pro CS4 MAC

    Hello,  I'm traying to import FCP Studio 2 XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4for the purpose of then color correcting the project in Adobe After Effects.
    I followed all the rules of exporting XML files from my Final Cut Studio 2 timeline, then closed FCP, opened Adobe Premiere CS4 and when I go to Import option XML file is greyed out.  I can't select the XML file...
    Could  someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Thank you so much

    I'll just say that the high end AE users list I frequent suggests that the more common workflow is to bring AE to FCP for color correction.  Isn't that one of FCP's strengths?
    Also, to the extent that you want to process an FCP project in AE, look for the best way to bring it directly, not through Premiere.  Ask in the AE forum what opinions people have.  Mac and PC types use AE, but my impression is that only a small proportion of those users use Premiere.

  • Can't import mov and mpg files into cs5.5

    Hi
    When I import a mpg file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    There was an erro decompressing audio or video
    When I import a mov file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    Importer reported a generic error.
    Good news is, that I have simply imported both files in the past without any troubles. So I hope it is something very simple.
    Maybe I have somewhere codec installed in the past (k-light) and something now doesn't work that well anymore.
    But I don't know if I have done this anymore and a desktop search didn't deliver me any results.

    I've installed Premiere Pro now on a different windows7 platform.
    Still the same. Can't import the mpg file. Somehow the mov file works here so that is something.
    Anyway I thought maybe it is helpful to share some data about the video:
    Container:
    DVD "VOB" format
    MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
    Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
    Audio:
    AC3
    0xbd[0x80]:48000Hz  256 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot)
    Video:
    Codec MPEG2  Name MPEG-2
    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot).

  • I can't import mp3 downloads I have into iTunes.

    I have tried to drag the mp3 file and drop it directly into my iTunes but it wont show the song in my library. Doing this worked up until about a week ago and now I can't seem to be able to import any of my mp3 files. I've tried going into 'File' and clicking on 'add file to library' and selecting the mp3 file i want to import and it doesn't say that there is a problem with transferring it but none of the songs will show up in my library still and it's extremely frustrating.

    Hey Haley.1182,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.

  • How can I import an existing csv. file into Outlook on a Mac with OS10.7

    Tried to import a csv. file on my Mac (OS 10.7.2) into Microsoft Outlook 2011 (for Mac) on the same computer, ended up with a useless Excel page - it opened the csv file in Excel with only a few contacts and uselessly formatted, at that!. Also, tried to save the csv file as a text file, then importing it into Word 2011 and Excel, with the same results. Anyone able to help? Would like to have the contained address/contact info look concise and neat, without duplicates or garbled/missing information.

    DPS can use H.264 files, but I have no idea about the details since I've never done any of it myself. Ask in the ID/ DPS forums.

  • Can't import office 2010/13 files into SQL Server. I'm out of ideas!

    Hi
    I have SQL Server 2012 installed on my Windows 8.1 Instance.  I want to be able to import and export data to Access 2013 files *accdb.  I have Office 64 bit installed on my machine.  I have searched a lot and can't find exactly what to do
    to fix this.  I have even done a clean install of SQL, but still no bananas.
    I have downloaded and installed Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 but that didn't help.
    Any ideas?

    OK, now I know why I have never solved this problem.  When I try to install Microsoft Access
    Database Engine 2010 32 bit version, I get an error saying I cannot install the 32 bit version while running Office 2013 64 bit.  
    I found this blog http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-civil-3d/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-install-64-bit-Microsoft-Database-Drivers-alongside-32-bit-Microsoft-Office.html
    which talks about the opposite problem, but not my problem.  Does anyone know of a work around to install the 32bit version of ADE with 64 bit Office?

  • Can I import a Captivate 7 file into Premiere Elements 7?

    Hi,
    I am trying to record my screen so I produce a short explainatory video with it. I have both Premiere Elements 11 and Captivate 7, yet can't seem to open the Captivate file in PE11.
    Is this impossible, or am I just being thick?
    Thanks
    Pat

    Hi Pat
    Normally what you record in Captivate you edit there. But we have many questions before a coherent answer can be provided.
    How did you record? Captivate offers a sort of "stop motion" animation where each screen capture becomes a different slide and you add elements to the slides, then produce the output. It also offers a "full motion" type of capture where you end up with a single video you then edit.
    Sounds like you may be using the latter.
    What are you hoping to achieve by using something like Premiere Elements to make edits?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can I import Muse-created html files into a new Muse site file?

    Due to a crash, I lost my most recent Muse site with many new changes. I do have my latest html files, which were created in Muse... is there a way to import the html into the old Muse site so that I don't lose my recent updates? Please advise. (I do have a time machine backup, but unfortunately, it only has the old Muse file.)

    Unfortunately there is no way to create a muse file from the HTML files.

  • How can I import an iMovie HD file into FCP?

    I did a rough cut of a short film in iMovie HD, and now I need for my editor to be able to access it and hopefully generate an EDL. Even opening it in a newer version of iMovie throws out everything but the :30 title sequence I built at the beginning.

    You can't access iMovie project data in FCP.
    Apple gave iMovie '08 users the possibility to re-download a copy of iMovie HD. That offer was discontinued in 2009
    The only possibility now is to go back to the source tapes and eye match to your rough cut.

  • How can I import Nikon D7000 NEF files into Elements 9 on MAC Book Air ?

    I have downloaded the DNG 6.5 converter as suggested, but the NEF files appear in Elements 9 as blank grey boxes.  These NEF files open in the same Elements 9 on my PC with Windows 7. 

    Thank you for your reply.  I have tried the update as suggested.   A complete failure. 
    Rebooted the computer many times and each attempt says that the update failed.
    Checked my registration for multiple computers  -  all okay.
    This is completely frustrating...

  • Can't drag and drop iMovie files into iDVD project

    I created a bunch of iMovie projects, went through the share/media browser process. They show up as icons in iDVD but when I try to drag and drop them, I don't get the green plus sign and they don't drop. I've tried both widescreen and standard settings, in both iMovie and iDVD, matching them up - still won't drop.

    What's the path to the file? Is it on an external drive? A network drive? A mapped drive? Can you try copying the file to your desktop and dragging it from there?
    It's on an external e-sata drive. No problem accessing the file from within Premiere.  Just can't drop it into Encoder. Doesn't work if I drag to desktop and try from there either.
    Are you dragging it in from Windows Explorer? If not, then what app are you dragging from?
    Yes, from Explorer.
    Are you dragging the actual clip or a shortcut to it?
    Actual clip.
    Have you tried importing via File > Add Source...? [Double-clicking a blank spot in the Queue gets you to the same Open dialog.]
    Yep, tried that.  No luck.  Double clicking and adding didn't work either.
    Definitely only seems to be QT files.  Have tried H264 files from 7D camera and ProRes files.  No luck.  Files that are MP4 work fine.

  • Can I import a recording from SHDB into a project in LSMW?

    Hi,
    I'm working with LSMW, and i would like to know if it's possible to import o reuse a recording that already exists in transaction SHDB?
    I tried but it seems that i should create a new recording again in the lsmw althought there exits one that was created by the shdb.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Albio.-

    Hi,
      No, it is not possible to import the recording you have done using SHDB transaction to LSMW as LSMW has its own recording facility, and we need to make use of the one available in LSMW.
