I cannot import a Quicktime file (.mov) which I generated from a slide show out of iPhoto8 in iMovie8 (filename is grey); what did I wrong?

iMovie 08 will only import files that contain codecs that it can edit. It will generally import audio and video codecs that iPhoto generates. However, if your iPhoto slideshow contains a manual advance track, iMovie cannot edit this and therefore will not import. In iPhoto, check to see if you can do a timed advance rather than a manual advance. Then it should import.

    Hello,
    I've been doing a lot of experimenting with this problem. You can read about what I have found to work, and what has not worked in the following discussion threads.
    I did find one fix (sort of) that I mentioned here:

    Do your problems sound like the ones I described in the first link above?
    If not, which problems are you having?
    What OS version are you trying to work with? Panther? Tiger? which specific revision of the OS?
    Just trying to see how consistent the problems are.
    Anyway, I hope the thoughts expressed in my other postings (in the links above) are helpful.

  • So I updated to lightroom 3.6-now i cannot import any .nef files?

    so I updated to lightroom 3.6-now i cannot import any .nef files? is that what you call progress?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure why you think Lightroom 3 will support the D610 as it was only announced on October 8, 2013. Support for the D610 was released in the Lightroom 5.3 RC, see Lightroom 5.3 RC now available on Adobe Labs
    If you wish to use you D610 files in Lightroom 3.6 you will need to download the Adobe DNG Converter, convert your NEF to DNG and then import into Lightroom 3.6. The DNG Converter can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Or, better option is to upgrade to the current version of Lightroom

  • Cannot import the selected file. What can I do?

    I am trying to import a 2010 pptx or a ppt ile into Captivate.5.
    The error message reads "cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation to ensure that you have installed the correct version of Microsoft Office." I am running 2010. What should I do to fix this?

    Could you once try to save the PPTX as a PPT-file and see if it will be imported then?

    I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

    Please give us more specific information -
    What make/model camcorder are you using?
    Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video?  Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
    Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder?  Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
    Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
    Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

  • I have downloaded a movie which I brought from itunes. It appears in my ipod class movie menu but it won't playic

    I have downloaded a movie which I brought from itunes. It appears in my ipod classic movie menu but it won't play. I try to update and or restore my ipod but I just keep getting a message saying that I need to connect to the internet which I am and am contected to the itunes store. I try to use the itunes self help support thing but keep getting the message that my ipod serial number is incorrect when it is the serial number which is on my ipod. Any ideas?

    Hey mlf141,
    I see that you have rented a movie on your iOS device and now would like to watch it on your computer. I have an article with information for you dealing with this scenario, and it can be found below:
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201611
    If you rented the movie on your computer, but want to watch it on an iOS device, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as often as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • HT4847 How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of iCloud but not delete it?

    How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of icloud and onto my own storage device? I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to keep it in iCloud

    Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
    I am not sure what you mean by:
    It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
    Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
    If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
    Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you.

  • Lightroom 4.1 - I Cannot import Nikon D300s video / movie files into catalogue - Can you?

    Hi,
    I can import all of my movie files produced by other cameras into my Lightroom 4.1 catalogue, I have the most recent version of Quicktime installed and obviously as I can import other camera model movies it proves that the basic Lightroom services and processes are working fine.
    When I try to import the movie, first on the import module it says 'unable to create preview' and then it states, 'this movie file contains no video frames'.
    I had gone back to Lightroom 3.5, but have since realised this version doesn't publish my movie files to flickr if they are >30Mb due to the way the Lightroom 3 Publishing module craps out on memory usage.
    I know the D300s records movies using the J-MPEG codec, but I'm not sure if this is a problem with the codecs installed on my machine or whether Lightroom does not support this codec?
    Before I waste another few days on trying to resolve the D300s import issue, can anybody else preview and import their Nikon D300s video files into Lightroom 4 or 4.1?
    Thanks,
    Simon

  • CANNOT IMPORT FCP  .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

    Hi,

    Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
    Error            :- failed  to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
    I tried  to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files  to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the  error messege "The  selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and  the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
    then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i  used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got  the error "Codec missing  or unavailable"
    what should i do???..i almost done all the  editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can  finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
    Good luck,

    I recently purchased a Mac OS X 10.6.6 which was an upgrade from my Mac OS version 10.4.1.1  I downloaded the Adobe Photoshop CS2 which I had on my old computer and now it cannot read my NEF files which is a RAW file from my Nikon D200.  I did not have this problem on my old Mac.  I always shoot RAW and can't open any photos.  Can anyone help me PLEASE?!? 

    Do you have access to another Mac to see if the disk can be read by it?  If it can't then you're pretty sure it's the disk. If it can then there may be issues with your optical drive which might be cleared up by using a cleaning disk on it, one that uses dry brushes (no liquid).
    If you have access to another Mac and it can read the iWork disk make a disk image of it so you can move the disk image to your iMac and install from the disk image.

  • How do I import a quicktime file without it coming up unrendered

    i copied videos from my new Flip to the desktop and they transferred as Quicktime files (AVI). When I import from Final Cut, it shows and plays fine in the preview but is unrendered in the timeline. I have a lot of videos....rendering them all seems extremely and painstakingly slow.

    Hi Tom,
    Flip video is a type of cheap video camera which stores video on a hard drive. It doesn't play well with Macs, so the files always need to be converted to go into Final Cut Express. I've been using MPEGStreamclip for that.
    The problem is that even when they are converted to say a DV file or Quicktime file (as someone above suggested), they will play in the viewer window of FCE but when they go in the timeline, they always need rendered. I'm not sure whether it is because the file is not the right type when I'm converting it, or because there's some setting which isn't correct for my sequence in FCE.
    Any help much appreciated!
