IMovie'11 and SONY HDRCX350VE import video

iMovie'11 doesn't see my videos stored on internal memory. Files are in MTS format and although this camcorder is compatible with iMovie it doesn't work.
Conversion of MTS files is the only issue ?
(I work with an iMac, i7 processor).
Thanks in advance for your help!

Use MPEG Streamclip to rip the disc, and switch to a new camera.

    I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.

    running on a mac osx 10.7.5 and need to import video from a dvd to edit in on final cut X

    I'd try Handbrake. Copy the Video_TS file from the DVD to the Desktop. Then use Handbrake to convert the file compatible with Final Cut X

  • Imovie is stuck - I was importing video, then imovie "shut down unexpectedly", now each time I re-start it automatically tried to process the Event, and "unexpectedly" shuts down again, etc, etc. Any thoughts?

    The imovie window that keeps comig up after I restart the program is "Generating Thumbnails". I would like to just stop the action, but am not sure where to go, or do I go thru the imac, or the imovie program. It just keeps shutting itself down, and when i reboot the program it keeps going through the same cycle. I've tried restarting the computer, and force quitting the program. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    You might be able to trick iMovie by temporarily moving that project folder out of the following location:
    Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > (look for the name of the project that blew-up)
    Drag that project folder to the Desktop for the time being. Launch iMovie and see if it still tries to create the Project Thumbnails. If it gets past any error messages or other house keeping, you can create a new project. Otherwise, quit iMovie. Drag that project folder from the desktop BACK into your iMovie Projects folder. Try launching iMovie again and see if it gets stuck generating the Thumbnails.

  • Old MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard, iMovie 09 and Sony DCR-SX41 Finally Solved!

    So this has been a real trial...
    Finally got video to import in iMovie09 using the DCR-SX41.
    The issue was that the Snow Leopard upgrade trashed a critical file. I found that out here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    So I purchased the file from Apple, at $21.00.
    I downloaded and installed the file, and iMovie "found" the DCR-SX41 just fine!
    If you are just coming to this camera, the trick to getting it to work with a Mac is to find the "USB Mode" or "DVD create" button. To find the button:
    *Open the viewfinder
    *Look at the body of the camera, there are two rows of three "buttons".
    *On the top row of buttons, the extreme right button looks like an arrow piercing a DVD (or CD).
    *Making sure the camera is connected to the Mac with the USB cable (on external power is helpful), *Press the "pierced DVD" button.
    * On my mac, iPhoto 09 starts up, which is annoying. So I quit iPhoto9. It sometimes takes awhile to quit!
    *Start iMovie 09
    *Open "Import from Camera" under the "File" menu
    *The Import window will open, and it will say "Import from iSight".
    *In 30 to 120 seconds, yes, a long time, a window will pop up saying "locating DCR-SX41"
    *In another 2-4 minutes, the camera will be detected, and the memory cards will be read.
    *You can now select and import videos!
    The key is waiting for iMovie 09 to detect the camera. It takes forever!
    Good Luck!

  • My laptop got unplugged and died when importing video..

    my battery is kind of dead and won't hold a charge, and when importing video from a canon hdv hv20, my macbook pro got unplugged and died. now i have some phantom space missing on my hard drive..where can i find it?how do i delete it?please any help.

    In the Movies/iMovie Events folder, you may find a folder with the Event Name that you were importing into. You can move this folder to the trash and start over. You may need to empty the trash.
    If you had other video in this same Event Name, be really careful or you may lose it, too.
    You should be able to reimport the video from your Canon.

  • Help!- iTunes reinstalls and refuses to import video

    Starting several weeks ago, iTunes has refused to import any videos I've converted myself. I've tried drag-and-drop as well as Add file to library, but they never appear in the library. This has never happened in the past and all other converted videos have imported successfully.
    Also, whenever I click on any iTunes icon (desktop, start menu, programs menu), iTunes always appears to re-install itself (configuring iTunes or something). I've tried reinstalling several times, but to no avail.
    Anybody have any clue on how to fix this?
    I run Windows Vista on a Compaq Presario SR2173WM PC.

    Also, whenever I click on any iTunes icon (desktop, start menu, programs menu), iTunes always appears to re-install itself (configuring iTunes or something). I've tried reinstalling several times, but to no avail.
    that sounds like the itunes setup assistant is running whenever you try to launch itunes.
    that can sometimes be caused by damaged itunes preferences files. so perhaps try the "Remove iTunes preference files" section from the user-account-specific troubleshooting section of the following document:

  • Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

    I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
    When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
    - Changed the HDMI cable
    - Plugged it in directly to the TV
    - I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
    - Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
    - Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
    - streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
    - tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
    - Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
    - Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
    - Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
    - Power cycled EVERYTHING!
    I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
    The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
    Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    Make sure its compatible
    H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • LR4 and Sony NEX-7 video files?

    I just installed LR4 and imported files from my Sony NEX-7, including raw files and video (.mts) files.   The thumbnail of the file has a little video camera icon in the bottom left, but no time lenth of video as I exprected.  And when I try to open a video file, the starting frame appears but there is no control bar under the video to allow me to "play" it and using the Spacebar doesn't start it either.  What am I missing in this process?

    I had a similar issue with a Sony RX100.  It was not supported by ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) until version 7.2.  Version 7.2 includes the NEX 7 too.  It may have been included in earlier versions, but I'm not sure.
    ACR is the free Adobe plug in that has all the camera and lens correstions and adjustments.  The camera makers create there RAW formats and Adobe then, one at a time, turns that into conversion data in ACR.  At least I think that's how it works!
    PSE 10 will only go to ACR 6.7.  It won't upgrade ACR past 6.7.  You have to buy PSE 11 to get functionality with ACR 7.2
    The way it works it that you have PSE search for updates under the Help menu.  When PSE 10 was new, it allowed me to update the ACR to 6.7.  In fact it insisted I do it.  The same was true with PSE 11.  It alerted me that an upgrade was available.
    A similar situation exists with Lightroom.  My Sony camera would not work with LR 4.  It had to upgrade itself to 4.2
    If you don't want to deal with the Adobe details, Sony provides "Image Data Converter" that can make files from the Sony RAW images that PSE10 can work with.
    Good luck!

  • Aperture and Sony DSC-T100 videos

    Hi, I just installed Aperture 3 and imported my iPhoto library but I can't open any video I took with my Sony DSC-T100 camera. The error is "unsupported video format". Do someone know how to fix this problem?

    Have you tried different levels of compression with Adobe DNG converter?
    The footnote on the Raw Support page  http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html says:
    Aperture works with most DNG files generated from cameras that support this format and with DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.
    If DNG converter does not work, use the software that a came with your camera. The manufacturer's software will give you the best possible raw development any, since they do know the camera best.
    It is hard to predict, when the RAW support for this camera will released, you could try to shoot RAW&JPEG while you are waiting and import the files with the JPEG as original. This can be changed to RAW as original, when the RAW support is available.

  • IMovie won't let me import videos from my library!

    Hello,
    I own an iPad 2 running iOS5 Beta 3 and I have installed iMovie. I have noticed that when I try to open videos and fotos from my camera roll, they will show black. It only lets me shoot fotos from the built-in-app camera. What should I do?
    P.S. I have already re-installed the app and even rebooted my ipad.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
    If you have a 2-in-1 adapter, it's not an Apple product.
    Try this. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • IMovie won't let me import video files

    I have been trying to import MPEG video files from a disc into iMovie and every time I try to do this the Optimizing Video box pops up and nothing happens (I then have to force iMovie to shut down). What can I do to get my video files imported into iMovie?  Thanks for the help!

    iMovie cannot handle mpeg files.
    You need to convert thoe files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • IMovie '09 and Canon HV30 HD Video Camera

    Hi,
    Hoping someone who has this camera can assist, but I am looking at purchasing this Video Camera at some stage but have the following queries please:
    a) Are there any connection issues b/w this camera and iMovie '09 when transferring footage to iMovie '09?
    b) Is it via Firewire or USB?
    c) Are there any major issues/show stoppers about this camera and iMovie '09?
    d) Is this a decent camera or is it worth getting a non MiniDV video camera?
    Thanks.
    Tony.

    I have a HV20, which is almost identical to the 30:
    a. no connection issues
    b. it is firewire (tape miniDV are firewire)
    c. there is a discussion about export quality in this forum, but nothing to do with the camcorder
    d. the HV series is one of the best HD camcorders - check out some reviews...

What does a video file appear like.  what type of file extension does an mp4 have? Do I need a google App ? I have enough cloud space to do so. Finally does this allow me to eject SDHC card without manually pushing it in and popping it out ?
