IMovie 11 import camera/archive not displaying movies, import not possible

Guys,
hope anyone can help me with this one:
I had some issues with my iMac lately crashing with kernel panics. It crashed (kernel panic) while i was importing some HD material into iMovie 11. ever since, I cannot see any movie thumbnails in the import view (the actual movies are still on the camera/SD card. Also importing from iSight is not possible. The green light next or the camera is on, while no window or an empty import window is visible.
I did delete the whole iLife 11 suit, incl. all references to iMovies (preferences,...) and then a complete reinstall and updated all again.
Unfortunately no luck so far.
Any tips or thoughts what I could do next as I really don't want wipe and reinstall all on my mac again?
Cheers from DownUnder
Le Jones

Hi,
My problem is very similar. I am able to choose the Archive folder and import the footage that way.  However, I am only able to do that once.  If I try again, it states the file is not a camera archive format file. 
The only way I can get it to work again is to completely close out iMovie and restart.  Then I can import an archived file.  But then again, only once before I have to restart iMovie to get it to work again.
Anyone have any workarounds?
Thanks

  • Import camera archive not working in iMovie '11 on 1.8.2?

    I typically copy the contents of my camcorder to a folder on disk and then would select "import camera archive". However, now with Moutain Lion it is not recognizing any of my folders as a AVCHD folder?
    As a test, I took a DMG file (which is how I used to do it, because prior versions of iMovie didn't support anything other then this) and performed a "archive all" on that DMG.. This should be no different then copying the files and tried on this newly created Camera Archive and I get the same results?
    It seems that with moutain lion, tha AVCHD contents of are now recognized by Finder and show up as a type "AVCHD Content"..
    Help!?
    thanks,

  • IMovie opens wrong camera archive

    Hi -
    I have a bunch of camera archives stored on an external hard drive. I can't seem to get iMovie to open one, becuase, once I select the hard drive, iMovie says "Camera archive detected - Click Import to Proceed". It will NOT, at this point, allow me to select a directory that contains the camera archive that I want to import.
    Of course, I don't want to import 20 camera archives. I want to choose one.
    It appears that someone thought it would be helpful to assume that an external drive would have only one camera archive on it. Probably true for a SD card, but not for a 2 terabyte hard drive.
    Is there a way to import a camera archive, if there are other camera archives on that external drive?
    Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks!

    Are you using File>Import>Camera Archive? You should be able to select the one you want.

  • Camera archive not accessible

    I created a camera archive from a DV tape. Everything appeared to import correctly and I now have a 13GB .fcarch file. The problem is the FCPX does not see this file. When I try to open it in the camera import box, the file is greyed out. I confirmed that the archive package contains the clips.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem. The way I solved it was to select Import Camera (as if I was importing from a new tape), and when I got the import window I selected the .fcarch file (that was already there), and selected import all.
    A sweep then appeared next to the file name, indicating the fraction imported. It took only a few minutes.
    A bizarre way to do things.

  • NWDS - Build EJB Archive not possible

    Hi there!
    Recently I updated my NWDS from version 2.0.15 to version 2.0.16.
    My workspace mainly consists of 2 EJB Module projects, 1 Web Module Project and 1 Enterprise Application project.
    The EAR project bundles the modules to an enterprise application.
    Before updating the NWDS, everything regarding build & deployment worked fine. But now I'm facing the problem that I cannot build the EJB Archives anymore. The menu entry for building the JAR is inactive. Also, when I try to build the whole EAR application, the EJB module archives are missing in the EAR.
    I've already tried to create new module projects and copy all sources to the new project. Once the archive build worked, but after restarting NWDS, the problem came up again.
    Does anybody has an idea about this issue? Maybe this is a known bug of version 2.0.16?
    Any help is highly appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Matthias

    Hi all!
    I'm still having this problem. It seems to handle with a problem of org.eclipse.jface-plugin.
    Because, in these corrupted projects, I cannot access ejb-j2ee-engine.xml file correctly.
    Each time I'm clicking on a bean listed in this file, I get an error message "An error has occured. See error log for more details."
    Ok, the details in the logs are pretty poor:
    !MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.jface".
    !STACK 0
    java.lang.NullPointerException
         at com.sap.ide.eclipse.j2ee.model.ui.sapejbjar.internal.description.UISapEjbJarDescriptionEnterpriseBean.refreshSpecificUIFromData(UISapEjbJarDescriptionEnterpriseBean.java:486)
    So finally, the menu entry "Build EJB Archive" is still inactive and I'm getting slightly mad with this tool.
    If anybody of you has expierience with similar behavior of NWDS, PLEASE HELP!
    Kind regards,
    Matthias

  • File sender adapter: archiving not possible with transp.prot "filesystem,

    Hi XI gurus,
    in my FILE sender adapter I want to archive the processed files to a separate sub-directory of the "in" directory.
    It works if I use transport protocoll "FTP" with a specific user
    but it don't works when I use transport protocoll "file system (NFS)".
    the xi user has all permission on the directories.
    file system is on a UNIX machine.
    Has anybody an idea why archiving only works with transf.protocoll FTP ?
    Thanx very much in advance

  • Importing Camera Archive into new iMovie

    I have years of old AVCHD camera archives on my hard drive from my old camcorders.  To work with those files, with prior versions of iMovie it was as simple as importing it (File->Import->Camera Archive as simply stated here: iMovie '11: Import video from a camera archive into iMovie)
    Just upgraded to Yosemite and running iMovie 10.0.6.  When I use the import feature and navigate to where the archives are on my hard drive, they don't show up as importable.  Despite the folders and AVCHD files showing up in Finder, they do not show up in iMovie's menus.  What am I missing?  Appreciate any thoughts.

    Well, interesting thing upon further research.
    All my AVCHD archives were in a standard folder under Movies->iMovie Camera Archives.  Within that folder there is folder after folder of archives.  I can see them just fine in Finder.
    When I go to the "iMovie Camera Archives" folder in iMovie it says: "iMovie Camera Archives.localized" and NONE of those sub-folders show up.  I copied one of the archives to my desktop and it imported perfectly fine.  So it's something odd about the iMovie Camera Archives folder itself that is preventing me from importing all those archives.  Odd.  Thanks!

    I loaded video from an external hard drive to my desktop. How do I import the video into iMovie 09? I tried "Import Camera Archive". Didn't work.

    It depends on the type of video. iMovie will only import video that it can edit.
    In general, you would use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

  • How do import my avi movie into iMovie? And camera help.

    I know that these topics have been posted before and I've searched for a solution to no success. I want to import the m ovies I record on my Canon (Ixus 55/Powershot SD450) into my iMovie. BUt whenever I drag the movie file from my desktop to iMovie I get a bouncing icon and it tells me it is not a valid format. I'm sure I have the DivX codec on my Mac, can anyone suggest why it is not working?
    While I'm at it, does anyone know of digital cameras of similar standing that will record mpg and iPhoto will erase the content of once it has imported?

    If your DVD's are encrypted, Hollywood doesn't want you to be able to figure out how to copy them.  Encryption is used in all store bought DVD's.

  • I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share Media Browser, but it is not highlighted. What should I do?

    I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share >Media Browser, but it is not highlighted in IMovie. What should I do?

    Is the clip only in your Event Library in iMovie?
    You need to create a Project (File > New Project).
    Then move the clip into the project, do any edits and you should be able to Share your Project to Media Browser.

  • Tagging camera archive files imovie

    Since a few weeks I own a Sony HD camera, recording to SD card. Once in a while I will have to unload the videos from this card to my iMac. Fortunately iMovie has the "Archive all" feature to do this, storing the clips from the SD card into a camera archive as individual files per clip. Over time, however, this will become an unmanageable bunch of clips and finding the right clips to compose a video would require a lot of work going through all of them. Is there a way to tag these clips, just as you would do with photo's ? Importing would then be a lot easier by first finding all clips matching certain criteria. So far I have not been able to find such a feature in iMovie itself.

    The way iMovie is designed, you need to import the archived clips into an iMovie Event. Once you have done so, it is easy to tag them. iMovie will sort video into Events based on day. You can further divide the events or combine events if you need to. You can go further by using keywords.
    Archiving is for bulk storage. It is useful because it stores an exact duplicate of what is on the camera SD card.
    When you import into an Event, it is converted to an editing format called AVCHD. (For why, see this link - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3941 )
    See this link for how to tag video..
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac69b39
    Also here is a good Tutorial which includes tagging video with keywords.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/imovie_09_stone.html#Event%20Library
    See also this video on keywords. It is for an older version of iMovie, but it is still applicable, with a few improvements in the new version.
