  • Cannot import videos from a sony camcorder.

    cannot import videos from a sony camcorder.

    Hi cape_surfers, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    UPDATE1: About the MPEG-2 component included with iMovie ‘08
    UPDATE2: After raising a stink, I figured that I’d spend a little more time trying to figure out how to make my Handycam work with native iMovie ‘08. Turns out that you have to turn on the camera, wait for OS X pick it up as a USB storage device, and then hang tight for three or four minutes until iMovie detects that your USB storage device is actually a camcorder, and presents the import dialog. I’m glad that I can import native MPEG-2, but am somewhat puzzled by the delay.

  • Cannot import video form Cannon ZR 850

    I have a MBP running tiger 10.4.10
    I am trying to import video from a cannon zr850. I set to "play" like the instructions say and plug in the USB. nothing really happens. The imovie camera import only offers isight. Do I need to use firewire or do I need to set a camera profile?

    You can only import from miniDV tapes using firewire.

  • Trouble importing photos from Canon Power Shot SD1300

    Until today, my family has had no difficulty importing photos into iPhoto from our Canon Power Shot SD1300 camera. But when I plugged in today to import the most recent few months of shots, the program would not accept the .jpg file format (or so the notice said). Similarly, Image Capture would not import the images.
    I'm running iPhoto 8.1.2, Image Capture 6.0.1 on a MacBookPro6,2 with an Intel Core i5/2.4 GHz machine with OS X 10.6.8.
    Why is this suddently not working? Did something happen with recent updates of software that screwed everything up? We've tried most of the sensible things from the camera end: deleting old photos so the memory card shouldn't be overloaded, recharging battery....
    What's next?
    TCC

    Unfortunately, the iPhoto error message, which had something to do with "not recognizing the file type" or something (though they were listed as .jpg files) no longer shows up. Now iPhoto thinks there are no photos on the camera, though there are quite a few actually.
    Image Capture recognizes that there are image files, but says, "Import Error. An error occurred while importing. 347 items were not imported." And then it begins with a list of the first files on the camera.

  • Cannot import video from Canon Powershot G9

    We just bought a Canon Powershot G9 and have had no trouble importing photos taken on it into our iPhoto (7.1.3). But we cannot import the video taken on the camera at all: every time we try iPhoto crashes and shuts as it starts the import process. We've saved the .avi files to a folder but even when playing them in VLC we get sound but no video. We're using iMac with OS 10.4.11.
    Can anyone help in how to get the video from the G9 into iPhoto? We've also tried the Canon software and iMovie but neither worked.

    Hi Terence,
    Thanks for your promt response
    I didn't move the file to the desktop because mp4s from my camera are imported by default to iphoto. Recently though, they have been corrupted or just not appearing at all in iphoto or anywhere else.
    But I thought about it for a while and wondered if I could import them to (yes, you've guessed it) imovie HD!
    I've gone for months looking everywhere for a solution to my problem, but not only was there no help in my mac, neither was the web any use. Consequently, I lost loads of precious little movies, (grandchildren, etc.) thinking the files were corrupt and not worth keeping.
    You've obviously realised that I am not a computer geek, but thanks to 'lack of simple knowledge' being available on the net; thanks to you (indirectly) I managed to solve my problem.
    I can't help wondering why on earth Apple doesn't admit that iphoto will 'baulk at importing anything that's too big', and simply suggest that newbies to Macs should import movies to imovie.
    Thanks again for your clue to sorting out my problem.....now solved.

  • IPad Air won't import video from Sony Cyber-shot W830 camera

    We are able to import pictures from a Sony Cyber-shot W830 camera to an iPad Air using the lightning to USB adapter and a powered USB hub. However, if there is video on the camera along with the pictures, or only video on the camera, no option to import to the iPad will show up. I can get video onto the iPad by syncing with iTunes but I'd like to be able to accomplish it using the adapter when we are away from home and without internet access. Any suggestions?

    I have got some photos on card, so can't format before importing.
    Anyway, after I imported the photos on my old Macbook pro, I format the card in camera, no selection for FAT32, FAT or ... After formatting, I took some new photos for a test. On the new Macbook, the same problem occurred again.

  • Device is unreachable: Cannot import video from iPhone 5 to Win 8.1 PC

    This error message has become the bane of my existence as it stands in the way of importing all my photos and videos from my iPhone to my computer and thus not having a 99% full iphone on a daily basis. Most photos are imported just fine, just the larger videos and a few of the old photos show the error message "The device is unreachable." The photos I also had on my photostream so I don't care if those don't move in but I'd very much like to import the 5/10min videos I made. Any help is much appreciated.

    I had the same issue. Here is what I did and it works fine.
    My iPhone is 5S with iOS 8.1.
    On my iPhone, I went to "Settings" --> "Photos & Camera" and I then turned on both "My Photo Stream" & "iCloud Photo Sharing" (you may need to turn on only one feature and it may work...I did not try to turn one on at a time because I was so frustrated and I did not have patience...so I turned them all on). I then unplugged my iPhone and then plugged it back in...the Windows 8 window popped up and I transferred all videos at once. I then also could be able to use Windows Explorer to copy & paste the video files if I wanted to (I could not do this before I fixed it).
    Good luck guys

  • Cannot import video from Canon ZR10 to iMovie '08

    I have a Canon ZR10 mini-DV camcorder. My son is trying to import video to iMovie '08 and it does not seem to recognize the camera. I am using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. When I turn on the camcorder, "DV In" appears on its screen so it seems to be in the proper mode to transfer video. However, iMovie doesn't do anything. I don't even get a blue screen. I tried File-->Import from Camera but that didn't so anything. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? He's very anxious to edit his movie! Thanks...

    Hello All,
    I have been attacking this problem for a few hours and I have found that if you turn off and or make all network items inactive the camera will immediately be recognized by iMovie.
    Took a long time to figure this out. Not sure why this is happening but it has fixed my problem.
    Before this fix I would intermently get the camera and its memory sticks in the usb slot to recognize in iMovie.
    Now all is well and works every time as long as I turn off or make things inactive
    Hope this works for you!

  • Cannot import video from iPhone because of "unrecognized format"

    I took a few videos with my iPhone and all were imported except one, which I actually had to use image capture to import it. But now on my macbook pro it says that I cannot play the file because it is not recognized by quicktime, but it is a quicktime file (.mov). The video does play on my iPhone though.

  • New Dad cannot import video from Panasonic HDC-SD1. Seeks help.

    Hi all,
    A few week ago I bought a Panasonic HDC-SD1 in preparation for the birth of my first-born. I tested it and it worked fine, importing in to iMovie 7.1 either direct from the camera, or via a USB card reader.
    Since then I have updated to iMovie 7.1.1 (running on OSX 10.5.1 Intel iMac).
    My beautiful baby boy was born two days ago, and I'm still unable to get the video into the Mac. Using direct camera connection or USB card reader the card mounts, but iMovie refuses to recognise any video to input. I've tried starting iMovie before and after connecting the card etc, but it just won't play ball.
    Anyone any other tips to get this working? All was well with iMovie 7.1 - I tried re-installing the old version but it just crashes on being run.
    Help! Everyone wants to see my baby boy!

    Congratulations on your new baby (your son, I mean) and your new tool (toy). I have a 4-month old, which was my justification for buying the Sony CX7, he also helped me get a new DSLR. Now I'm trying to convince my wife that the baby needs a new Macbook Air.
    The CX7 is also a flash based, AVCHD camcorder. For a quick solution to your problem, check out a program called Voltaic. It will batch transcode the AVCHD (.mts) files. This way, you don't need iMovie to recognize the camera, and you can move the .mts files off your flash card for archiving on a DVD, NAS, or external drive for future use. You can then delete the transcoded files after you complete your projects, since you can easily transcode again, if you want use the clips again in a future project. You will want to do this, because the transcoded files are much, much larger than the original .mts AVCHD files.
    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot import video from new iphone 6

    I have a new iPhone 6 which contains videos taken today (as well as older videos on the phone after restore). Connecting it to my Windows 8 PC the import wizard comes up automatically and successfully imports photos but not videos.
    With the phone connected to the PC, I look in iTunes "On My Device" and click on movies, this view is empty. How can this be since I know there are videos on the phone.

    I'm not sure why I'm getting this error message since it is in fact a video. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?

  • Importing video from a p2hd ag-hpx500p

    Hello all, I have recently taken a job with a production company, and I am the most computer savvy person on staff. In the past we have used FCP to import video from a DV player, or through a camera and the Log and Capture option. We have been contacted by an online firm wanting us to do some green screen footage for them. We shot a small 30 sec clip on the p2 and I was able to import it using Log and Capture, but my problem is I cannot get the bitrate to their desired level. They want at least 40 or 50 mbits/sec. Is there another way to import these files at a larger bitrate, or is it the settings of the camera? I was able to connect the camera and open the p2 cards as portable storage devices, but the file formats are not supported by FCP. ANY suggestions would be helpful as I believe I'm in over my head here.
    Thanks in advance

  • IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

    I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Other info:
    OSX 10.8.3 on a 2012 iMac
    iMovie 11 9.0.8

    I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
    iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.
