I can't import some DNG files

I converted the RAW images from my Olympus E-P1 to DNG files using the Adobe DNG converter 5.5 RC).
I used 2 lenses on my camera : the kit lens (a 14-42mm zoom) and a Voigtlander manual lens.
All photos taken with the kit lens were rejected by iPhoto in the import process.
I also tried to open them with Aperture, QuickLook and Preview.app : doesn't work.
I was only able to open the DNG files taken with the Voigtlander lens.
All photos (whatever the lens) could be opened with Photoshop or Lightroom.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

  • How can I import cinema dng files in Premiere Pro CC?

    Hi,
    I wanna use Blackmagic Cinema DNG 4k RAW files for my productions in Premiere. As specified by Adobe that schould be no problem.
    When I import the dng-folder or a list of *.dng files they are displayed in assets view as single photos. How can I create a video track from these "photo batches" in the sequence window?
    Much thanks in advance for any help !!!
    Cheers Peer

    Good Peer, glad that solves the import problem for you. I suspect the next version of Premiere CC might not have its import path split with two different results as such.
    Back in CS6 I was importing all media through the Project bin. Then with the first Premiere CC, compressed dng from the bmpcc became supported (I think your 4K just became supported recently). So, with the new CC, I kept importing all files through the project bin, and that resulted in hours of import time, and the same hours of re-conforming the same files every time I re-opened the project. And, the same hours of time direct linking into Speedgrade (by the way I love Resolve also).
    Then, months later, I heard of importing through the Media Browser and all that time melted away into instantaneous import and quick direct link to Speedgrade.
    If you have any projects with dng sequence files imported through the Project bin, I do not remember the exact procedure, it is simple though, just 'make offline' and almost certain it is 'replace footage' to properly Media Browser imported video.

  • Can't import some Quicktime files into FCP X 10.0.5

    I'm new to FCP X.  Trying to import Qiicktime files from hard drive and keep getting "no supported files" dialog box.  Or sometimes it imports audio only.
    Only once was I successfully able to import video files.  All of the files were originally created on a Power PC G5 from old 8mm movie footage transferred to VHS
    tape.  All worked fine on older versions of FCP.  And all files play ok with QT Player on my new iMac running OS 10.9.  Baffled. 

    Sorry I get it now. Here is a screen shot of one of the clips that won't import.

  • Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4

    Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4. I don't understand why this is not straight forward.

    Hello!
    The DNG format's goal is to be an universal file formats for camera raw files: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html?promoid=DTEHA
    You can save a DNG from camera raw without a problem.
    Just go the the bottom left hand corner of the interface, and select "save image".
    (as explained here in the help files: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html#WSB0DC278F-B3DF-4a60-88BC-B3D6A852C242 )
    Or are you trying to save an file edited in Photoshop as a DNG?
    For what purpose, exactly? A TIFF, PSD or PSB file can have a raw file, saved as a Smart Object (to allow later reprocessing in Camera Raw) and all the pixel/vector editing layers intact.
    If saved with maximize compatibility, it can be opened in Lightroom for cataloging, and editing, if needed.

  • Faillure writing metadata to some DNG files

    I'm having a problem writing metadata to some dng files using Lightroom 2.6.1. When I try to apply a metadata template to a batch of files most of them get changes but a few don't. This only effects DNG files so far JPEG and TIFF seem to be OK. I have tried running the problem files through DNG converter and the new files have the same problem. Lightroom won't write to them.
    I can change the metadata of these files from Bridge. The changes then appear properly in Lightroom. Afterwards I can change the metadata again from Lightroom.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro (Late 2008) and running OS 10.6.2.

    I created a preset to export to same folder as original, same format as original, and stack with (above) original. I used this on the seven files, and it has solved the problem without losing any metadata.
    The jpegs had at some point been processed by Photoshop Elements as they were imported/edited using that application in 2010 but the metadata problem didn't show up until recently when I was making some adjustments in Lightroom. I somehow think this may be related to the GPS tag though I don't have sufficient evidence.
    The DNG file was strange in that it was straight the camera with no Lightroom adjustments, although I did add GPS info in the Map module. Anway it is now fixed as well as the jpegs.
    With this preset it would be possible quickly to fix a large number of image files. Just create a Smart Collection to display the problem files and run the preset on them all in one go. The only things that I am aware of that you would need to look out for are (1) if they are in a collection other than a smart collection, or have been published to a service like Flickr or to the Hard Disk the link will be broken, and (2) If you like to sort photos by date/time added, they will be out of the sequence (capture time is fine).
    When you are satisfied that this has worked OK then you can delete the images from the "Metadata Not Up To Date" smart collection. Select all, go to all photos, they should remain selected and press Delete. You could do a thousand in one go if you have the nerve for it
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

    I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
    I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
    My active file is vannished.
    I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
    Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
    When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
    Thanks for your help!

    Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
    You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.

  • Can't import .mxf video files in Premiere CS5

    Hi all!
    I've just installed Premiere CS5 and imported some .mxf files to a project. But premiere just recognizes the audio tracks, it don't recognizes the video one.. it's like it was a simple audio file.. and i can see the video outside premiere.. anyone knows why is this happening?
    With cs4 i never had this problem.
    Thanks in advance!
    André Inácio

    Assuming you're not using the trial version :
    if you can't import XDCAM EX files using the Media Browser, which will only import what Premiere needs, then there is something wrong with your installation.
    PPro CS5.02 woks with all flavors of XDCAM EX files including those from the 350/320 cameras.

  • Can't import my mp3 file on my computer at work

    can't import my mp3 file on my computer at work but the same format will successfully import on my computer at home.  Only difference is that work runs win 7 32 bit and home win7 64 bit.
    can anyone help on this
    regards,
    Aron

    iTunes seems to be quite fussy and may refuse to play/add MP3 files other palyers accept.
    If you have the CDs you could try resaving them. Also some tag editors claim to have repair abilites. For example this one:
    http://www.magnusbrading.com/mp3ts/
    Or there is a repair tool here:

    I haven't tried these myself and it is always a good idea to work on copies of files if you are experimenting.

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • Iphoto will not import some jpeg files after many attempts to 'fix"

    I have scande images into my iphoto until i updated to iphoto 9. now it does not import jpeg for some reason. some jpegs are more equal than other how ever some go in some do not. So what is wrong with iphoto 9 and do i need to reset some profile something somewhere.
    mac book pro 17 standard edition no mods 2.6 intel core 2 duo 4 gigs memory 1067 mhz ddr3
    files are saved to desk top folder as a jpeg in either color or black and white using the system Image Capture software.
    1) the error is -20
    2) i tried importing some old files in and out they seem to work
    3) shut down restarted and tried again no joy with the scanned images
    4) all images are openable by preview and can be changed to tiff
    5) iphoto allows tiff in but not the jpeg or any kind
    6) upgraded to iphoto 9 and this started is there a profile file i should through away and what is the implications of doing this ? i have many thousands of photos i do not want to lose.
    i need to use jpeg format for my family and work.
    any suggestoins.
    7) rand disk permission repair from install disk no problems
    8) should i start in safte mode and do a PR reset.

    1 - iPhoto does not accept grayscale images - they must be RGB even if the photo is B&W
    2 - sometimes opening a photo in preview and doing a save as and then importing the new JPEG will resolve this type of problem

  • I can't import certain sound files.

    For some reason with flash cs6 I can't import specific sound files. There is nothing different from them and other files that do work. It says "couldn't import (file)" and "one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" Please help, my deadline is in a few days!

    What is the file format of these problematic sounds? It may be that these sound files are set to an unusual sampling or data rate. If the files are in mp3 format, try changing the bit rate mode to constant, if it is not that already. Also look at the data rate of the file. Make sure that it is a "normal" rate like 44100, 32000, or 22050 Hz.

  • Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?

    Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?
    ...also, do you need Flash Player 10 to play these files?

    Just did some testing here, and Flash Professional definitely does not like Catalyst projects. Importing to the stage failed silently (gotta love that), while Import to Library appeared to work - I got a MovieClip in my library. However, the clip is empty. I'd guess it is as Chris said, having to do with the fundamental differences in the Flex framework from the way Flash Pro works.
    As this did spark my curiosity, I decided to give loading the Catalyst-created project into a Flash Pro project at runtime using ActionScript. I was able to at least get the Catalyst content to appear through this method, but the effects (in this case, a simply button with a Rotate3D effect applied) was a mess.
    So the simple answer is "no".

  • Can't access some shared files

    I have a computer here where the user can't access some shared files.  From the machine she normally uses, the folders are greyed out.  I've checked all the permissions, and everything is in order.  She was even able to access the folder from a different Mac.  The mac is fully patched, running OS 10.6.8.

    More Info:
    After trying multiple things, I have more info to solve the problem. 2 other computers (one is another iBook and the other is a PC) in the house, access the hard drive as advertised with no problems. The only thing that has changed on my computer recently is the replacement of a 1G iPhone with an iPhone 3Gs. This phone did some weird things when syncing, specifically with our photo programs. It locked up Nikon transfer and iPhoto was working strangely. I felt the best way to alleviate those 2 problems was to shut down my computer, and restart. This is when I encountered the problem with accessing the TC. Things are also a little bit more complicated because I use the TC as the storage medium for both iTunes Library and iPhoto Library, both of which I can't access given the current problem.
