I cannot upload clips from my sony camera as the programme shuts down every time the clips have been uploaded.

Hi
I have troubles with imovie. It always needs a long time to open but now I have a new problem. I cannot upload video clips from my sony camera which worked before. I do not know how to solve this problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Get a powered USB hub.

Premiere Pro shutting down every time I add clip into sequence.

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I've tried over 15 times, different clips, new projects. Every time I drag a clip into a sequence or even create a sequence from a clip Premiere is shutting down.
How can I resolve this?
Thank you for your time.

What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

Re I-Movie. "Communication Error" is what I get when I try and send a clip from my Sony camera to the IMovie program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chips. The IMovie program has worked well for several years - up to now. What has gone wrong?

Hi
Have no idea - But if it is a new problem with exactly the same kind of material that was previously used. Then my trouble shooting guide might help.
If You
• used a new Camera - file codec might be a sort that don't work
• Your main hard disk might get too filled up
Else try
Trouble
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

HT1338 How do I prevent iDVD 7.1.2 from shutting down every time I try to create a new project?

Every time I try to create a new project on iDVD, the program shuts down with one of those "unexpected error" messages. This just started a few days ago, and was working fine prior to this.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder, User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.

I don't know how transfer my photos from my Sony Camera using USB?

The EXACT answer will depend on which OS and iPhoto you are using, but they all work as follows.
Provided that your Mac recognizes your camera's memory card, you should be able to use iPhoto's
FILE > IMPORT TO LIBRARY menu command, even if connecting your camera does not automatically find ("pop up") iPhoto. If you want your Mac to ALWAYS launch one specific app (such as iPhoto) when you connect your camera, you select which app via with your Mac's "Image Capture" application as follows:
Launch your Mac's "Image Capture" application and search Image Capture > Help for "Transferring items from your camera" (without the quotation marks.)
If you have trouble with the search, you can find the topic on Apple's website here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ImageCapture/6.0/en/5304.html
When your camera is connected and operating, you can use Image Capture to select whether and which application to launch automatically when you connect your camera in the future. The Image Capture 8 way of setting is shown in the following image:
For help with the iPhoto part, launch your Mac's "iPhoto" application and search iPhoto > Help for "Importing photos from a digital camera" (without the quotation marks.)
If you have trouble with the search, you can find the topic on Apple's website here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/6297.html
The exact steps may be slightly different if you are using some other version of iPhoto. If you cannot find what you need, post back which iPhoto and Mac OS X versions you are using and what specific issue is giving trouble, and we will try to offer tailored links.

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.

Is it possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sle

Hello
My girlfriend and I are going to South America. Therefore, I am not only looking for a MP3-player, but also a place to store photos. The Zen Sleek court my attention.
Though, I would like to know whether it is possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sleek? Does it require any extra cables or software? Or is it only possible to store photos through a ordinary computer and then transfer photos to the harddisc on the Zen Sleek?
Regards
Mads Lyngby Petersen

Short answer, I've never seen anyone try it.
Long answer, it might be possible using one of these USB bridge devices. Some of these devices are supposed to be able to bridge between a camera and a USB mass storage device, and then deal with hosting the connection and moving/copying the files.
I would be intruiged to know if someone's managed it, but as mentioned so far I've not seen anyone mention it.

I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when the images have been manipulated through CS6 and i have saved images as jpeg the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
Take your pick.

I can't find the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro

I can't locate the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro. Do I need additional software?

How & where did you search? I gather the videos are no longer in the cam? Where do you have the videos go when transferring from your cam?
Download WhatSize and/or OmniDiskSweeper to see if you can "see" the videos.
