IMovie only imports first 10 seconds of video clip which is 14 seconds long

I have a Samsung HMX20 camcorder, and when I import a few of the clips, which are around 14 seconds long, into iMovie, I only get about 10 seconds imported into my project (so basically I don't get the end of the clip). What's going on?

It looks like your _High Definition Samsung SC-HMX20_ is NOT listed as supported by iMovie '09.

The only camera listed is the _Standard Definition Samsung SC-MX20_
There is also an article about it:

  • Importing movie only imports first 15 seconds

    I am trying to import, well a large movie, to try my new MBP. For some reason only the first 15 seconds are imported and nothing else.
    Prior to my upgrade to iLife11 the import took several minutes.
    I am new to my MAC, love it but I am learning.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    What kind of large movie? Is it from a camcorder or somewhere else?
    Will it open in QuickTime Player? If so, click WINDOW/INSPECTOR and tell us everything listed by the word FORMAT:

  • Trying to export QuickTime but only the first 30 seconds exports

    I'm trying to export my 3 minute long project using QuickTime conversion but only the first 30 seconds of the sequence exports. How do I get the full video to export?

    If you're trying to export it to WMA or WMV, you need to purchase a version of Flip4Mac which includes that capability. QuickTime cannot create files in those formats without third-party software which provides the necessary engine; even though it appears that QuickTime is doing the conversion, it's not.

  • Exporting in Final Cut only saves first 20 seconds...Project due in 2 days.

    Hello all.
    Working in Final Cut Pro here, And this problem has arisen: I finished editing my 10 minute final project for school. I set my in and out points for the sequence. Nothing is selected, I go to Export > Quicktime Movie. So far so good. I change the "keep current settings" to "DV-NTSC 48khz". I'm making this move self contained because I'm going to be authoring in DVDSP on a different machine. I name it and save it and it saves almost instantly. When I go to play it, it is only the first 20 seconds. HELP PLEASE! This is Dude in 2 days!!

    Also, it's possible you have a file export size limit set in your preferences. Confirm that there's no limit on file export size. You might also try deleting your preferences. Also, have you tried exporting to a different drive.

  • HT2045 I bought a song, which played on my computer. When I tranfered it to my IPod,only the first 30 seconds of the song plays. Help please!

    Please help me.  I bought a song which played on my computer, but when I tranfered it to my IPod, only the first 30 seconds of it will play. Help please. Is there a way I can contact Apple to complain, because I'm not paying $1.29 for the first 30 seconds of a song. Or is there anyway to fix it? (note: i have already synced my Ipod and it has the latest version of ITunes)

    Im having a similar promblem! Only its doesnt work on my Itunes library and the song ends at 49 seconds. Have you fixed your problem yet?
    p.s. my discussion is on the following page but no one has responded yet as I only just posted it.

  • Only getting first 30 seconds of Kings of leon album, anyone know why?

    Only getting first 30 seconds of Kings of leon album, anyone know why?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song

    Hi ... i'm really struggling with this problem!
    whenever i import a song from a CD, itunes only imports a few seconds of each song and moves onto the next .. so on & so forth. It only take a few second to completely import the entire CD.
    However the 'imported' songs don't play ... itunes just whizzes thru all the songs in 2 sec. the time duration for each song is '789:57:13'.
    this has occurred a few times in the past but seems to be fixed by a restarting my mac or reloading itunes from the .dmg file. which can be very annoying to say the least!
    I need a more long term solution! any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    I'm importing from 'factory' CDs .... i've deleted Itunes and reloaded it again and it seems to be ok, but from experience its not gonna last ...... the last time i had to shut down and restart 4 times to get it to work!
    Frustrating ....... not to say the least!
    Help!

  • A tip how to make iMovie '08 rescan the iPhoto library for video clips

    I could not figure out how to easily force iMovie '08 to rescan all iPhoto library video clips. My problem was that my Casio S880 videos had the audio format DVI ADPCM which is not supported by iMovie '08. I made a script which transcoded all my iPhoto library videos' audio track to AAC. But after this was done, the iMovie didn't still show them in iPhoto videos. iMovie checks only for NEW entries in iPhoto Library after last scan.
    One simple workaround is to duplicate the transcoded video in iPhoto and then delete the original. But if you have a lot of clips here is a better way to do this:
    NOTE: This trick does not reimport already imported clips. This trick is useful only if you want to force iMovie '08 to recheck old iPhoto movie clips if they are now valid for iMovie '08 or not.
    1. Close iMovie '08
    2. Open file HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist with the Property List Editor application (I think the application is part of Apple Developer Tools, I'm not sure if included in default installation). You may want to take a backup of the property file before opening it!
    3. Find "lastiPhotoXMLDate" property and change the date value to be some older date, for example if you want to scan all files just change the year part to 1980 or similar.
    4. Save the property file
    5. Open iMovie '08, it should now check all iPhoto movie clips again if they are valid for iMovie '08.
    The same thing can be achieved by just deleting the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist file, but then you lose all your other settings.

    I apologize for my confusion on your question.  I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo.  It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
    If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer.  If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds.  For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
    That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

  • Imported tunes will only play first 20 seconds

    I have imported some tracks from some new CD's i own, but some of the tracks will not play passed the first 20 seconds, even though the files size is 3mb+
    any ideas ?

  • Data Loader - Only imports first record; remaining records fail

    I'm trying to use Data Loader to import a group of opportunities. Everytime I run the Data Loader it only imports the first record. All the other records fail with the message "An unexpected error occurred during the import of the following row: 'External Unique Id: xxxxxxx'". After running the Data Loader, I can modify the Data file and remove the first record that was imported. By running the Data Loader again, the first row (previously the second row) will import successfully.
    Any idea what could be causing this behavior?

    W need a LOT more information, starting with the OS, and the version of ID, including any applied patches.
    Next we need to know if you are doing a single record per page or multiple records, whether the placeholders are on the master page, how many pages are in the document and if they all have fields on them (some screen captures might be useful -- embed them using the camera icon on the editing toolbar on the webpage rather than attaching, if it works [there seem to be some issues at the moment, though only for some people]).
    What else is on the page? Are you really telling it to merge all the records, or just one?
    You get the idea... Full description of what youhave, what you are doing, and what you get instead of what you expect.

  • Audio only on first few seconds

    I have a problem with the audio on PE9. I use the Organizer to import the files from my hd. The files play perfectly with Quick Time and VLC. When I play the file in PE9 I notice that only the first 5 to 10 seconds of sound show in the timeline. The rest of the file has no sound and there is a flat line in the audio channel. The camera is a Pentax compact that uses .mov file format. In VLC the audio codec is shown as PCM U 8. My question is why do I only get a few seconds of sound? Is there a way to get the sound for the whole file? I am using win 7 64 bit. I'd appreciate any help or ideas.

    Hm-m,
    That is rather an odd Audio Sample Rate & Bit-Rate. Normally, one sees 24KHz, 32KHz, 44.1KHz or 48KHz, at 8-bit, 12-bit or 16-bit. The 32-bit floating point is the Conformed Audio, for precise editing, and is to be expected, however the 8KHz Sample Rate is not what I would expect for the Project. Normally, that is Conformed to 48KHz, which is the standard for DVD Audio.
    When you look at the Audio Track where the problem Clip is located, and expand that Audio Track vertically (if you hover the Cursor at the juncture of the Audio Track in the Track Header, you will see the Cursor to change shape to a little = sign with arrowheads - click+drag), does the Waveform Display stop where the Audio ceases to play? If so, this sounds like the CFA & PEK files were truncated. This usually happens when the Conforming process has been interrupted.
    One test that you can run is to close out of PrE, and navigate to your Media Cache folder in the Scratch Disks' location, and find the CFA and PEK files for one of the problem Audio files. They will have the same name as your Clip, but will be CFA and PEK. Those are the Conformed Audio file and the Waveform Display for the Audio in that Clip. Choose one pair for a problem Clip and Delete those two files - the CFA and the PEK. When you relaunch PrE and Open that Project, PrE will reconstruct the CFA and PEK for that Clip. Make sure to let the Conforming complete 100%, before touching the computer. There is a little progress bar at the lower-right of the GUI. Do not do anything, until it disappears. Test.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
