Import error Sony A7 2 Lightroom V5.7 MacOS = Update to 5.7.1 is not offered

Hello all,
The raw file import of LR for MacOs V5.7 is not working => error "can't import ...."
In the the internet forums is advised that this is fixed with LR V5.7.1 which should be available since December. But my updater always says I have the newest version
Also the download link on your server is not down.
Is a bugfix version available and where can this be downloaded ??
Best regards
Karl-Heinz

"Check for updates" can sometimes be flaky - 5.7.1 has been indeed available for months.
Just download and install 5.7.1 straight from the internet - Google is your friend:
Lightroom 5.7.1 is now available
(Note that as of this writing, the download links are broken).

Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
Happy Holidays.

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
any one can help?

This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
Don't forget to tick the backup box.
Hope this helps. Peter

Lightroom 3.5 Import Errors using Synology NAS on Macbook

Hi all,
I've been trying out Lighroom 3.5 and I love it, with one exception....
When importing my archive (which is stored on a Synology Diskstation DS211j, accessed via an Airport Extreme), I get multiple import errors (around 5% of the total files), saying files are unreadable, unrecognisable etc. Some of the previews are also corrupt. I also get the "Server connection interupted" dialog in OS X Lion too, during the import. After Synchronizing the folder, it successfully imports more of the files yet still with a few errors. After the third or forth successive Sync, the operation is successful, with all files imported.
Now, this would point to a problem with my network connection or my NAS or its drives, however, this only happens with Lightroom. The files are not corrupt as they are imported sucessfully eventually. I work with the files outside of Lightroom all the time, and also stream my iTunes library sucessfully from the same drive, with no problems.
I have imported the same archive into Aperture, and encountered not a single read error or "Server connection interupted" dialog box.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks,
John

I am having the same problem with my iPad and ios5 since I switched I have had the same issue. I am a wedding photographer so I transfer about 2000 raw images at a time. Also, is there a way to see a log of the old import problems. Once I close out the error window I can't seem to find a way to see what exact files it had problems with unless they haven't been imported to the catalog at all ever and I just do a reimport and skip duplicates. Sometimes it takes upwards of 5 times for those problematic files to be imported into LR just fine.

I am trying to import for Sony RAW .mxf files in AE. I get an error message, cannot be imported - this.mxf file is damages or unsupported.

I am on a PC. AE version 12.1.0.168. It is updated.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem. We are working on a feature film shot on Sony F55 in 4K RAW.

Thanks. Now it works in PP and AE.

First, your AE needs to be updated. The current version is 12.2.1.5
If that does not fix the problem let us know.
Second question, are you using the Sony import utility? If not, give that a try. Last question, can you open the files in Premiere Pro? I hope you are not trying to cut a feature film in After Effects.

Strange import error (lightroom 5, Mavericks)

I synched my folder to Lightroom a few days ago and got the following message:
Failed to find a place for the imported file. (2)
/Volumes/photos-by-year/data/photos/_By Year/Family/bmp/Dad - 2:11:2012.JPG
/Volumes/photos-by-year/data/photos/_By Year/Rock and Roll/Blue Oyster Cult/12:31:74 newspaper article.jpg
I don't understand this.
It found the photos and doesn't know what to do with them?
The first picture was taken by an iPhone5 and copied to disk with the name: Dad - 2/11/2012.jpg.
I've since learned that my system isn't always happy with that particular date format (and I now use yyyymmdd - no problems), but the error message is unhelpful.

Adding to Tony's response. I got the same Lightroom 5.6 import error message ("Failed to find a place...") but with file names which were clearly legal, just numbers and letters. These were .png files.
The same files will load into Photoshop 2014.1.0 with a warning message:
"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. Ignoring the profile."
After resaving, still as .png, from Photoshop the files imported successfully into Lightroom.
Certainly the Lightroom error message is unhelpful, but it seems to cover more than just file name problems.

I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

You can either upgrade to Lightroom 5.4 or later, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 to convert your RAW photos to DNG, which then will import into Lightroom 4.

Import error with MPEG-2 files: Brorsoft Video Converter to Apple Prores.

Hi,
The Brorsoft Video Converter software gives me an 'import error' message when I attempt to import files from a folder on my desktop. That folder contains many mpg files (MPEG-2 Video, AC3). Those files in the folder on my desktop came from a Sony video camera.
I need to convert those mpg files to Apple Prores 422 HQ so I can then edit them in Apple Final Cut Pro X.
But when I go to import those mpg files into the Brorsoft Video Converter software, it comes up with a message saying: 'import error', indicating that the Brorsoft Video Converter software does not understand the type of file.
I am on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
I've emailed Brorsoft support but I don't think English is their first language – they've emailed back to me asking for clarification of the problem. And I need the problem fixed as I have to edit this video for someone that has many waiting customers.
Could something have changed in the files when I copied them from the video camera to the desktop?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I was using a friend's video camera – I've just texted him for the exact model of Sony video camera. I didn't yet have the Brorsoft Video Converter software when I had to give the video camera back to my friend. So, I copied the files off the video camera to my desktop.
It records onto an internal hard drive. And yes you're right, I don't need to go HQ. I also tried plain Apple Pro Res. That didn't work either. It comes up with 'Import error' message, so it seems like it just doesn't understand the file type.
When I go 'Get Info' on one of the files off the camera, it tells me it is an 'MPEG-2 video, AC3' file.
I'll try and get MPEG Streamclip like you suggested and see if that works.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Paul

How can I Import *.Mov video files into LightRoom 5.3 ?

I am having trouble trying to Import *.Mov video files into LightRoom 5.3. It imports preview thumbnails but when I select 'Import ' it now stops and displays an error message.

Why do you ask about Lightroom issues on a Photoshop Forum?

I cannot import any video into my Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

I cannot import any video into my Lightroom 5.4
(last version updated) for MAC
in the beginnig it was working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
I use .mp4 files
Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
the error says "was not able to import video files"
thanks

Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

The error, "Restart Required. Lightroom has encountered a problem with its menus. Some menu commands will not work until Lightroom has been restarted" appears in Lightroom.

I updated to 5.7 a few days ago and I just now encountered this problem while importing some photos. Is this a common problem?

Hey Guy's, Thank you for the recommendations to fix his problem and I did restart my browser, etc.. and all was corrected. But, I have been with Lightroom for a while, starting with LR3. I can not remember having one problem, except for my errors, until I started with LR5 and I have some kind of problem hourly! I do not have many presets or plug-ins so I don't think that was really a problem. It crashes constantly, I can edit 4-6 photos and then it starts slowing down and I have to do a restart. It does, on occasion, jump around from the develop controls and even changes modes, crashes and sometimes I just wait it out and it will open in the print mode or slideshow! I find photos all over my computer that it sent on its own. I did download and check for malware and other viruses and none were found so I am still troubleshooting everything from my fairly new computer and everything else but I always think when they come out with a newer version to download, it will correct my problems but they only get worse.

Trouble importing and playing video in Lightroom 5

I mainly use Lightroom for photos, but I do use it to organize my videos. Lightroom 5.3 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.9.2.
Videos from all of our iPhones import and play perfeclty.
Video from the Nikon D90 will import sometimes, but will rarely play. You can scroll across the preview icon and see the video, but when you click on to play it, it will only play a few seconds of the video but will continue to play the audio.
I have converted the .avi files to .m4v in order to play in iTunes and Apple TV. I've tried importing the .m4v files to Lightroom as well but always get an error: "Connecting to dynamic link server failed."
Not sure what is going on or what I may be doing wrong. I've successfully imported the videos from the camera to Aperture. Not sure why I can't get Lightroom to work.
Thanks for any help.

Exact same problem as well. When I try to import CDs either in iTunes or Windows Media Player I have problems. iTunes will play a track or two, but usually the imports ring in around 755 minutes and change and are corrupt. Windows Media Player has similar issues.
What's strange is that my drive works just fine for burning DVDs, installing software from disc, or watching DVD movies, so I'm a little in the dark. Any ideas?

Long clip import errors on 15 inch MacBook Pro confirmed to be HARDWARE??

Our family has two MacBook Pros, one a 15", one a 13". The 15" is a 2.53 GHz, 4Gb ram, 500G 7200RPM HDD model, the 13 a 2.26, 4 Gb, 250Gb 5400HDD model. All software is completely up to date and we use no third party software other than fusion and MS office on both laptops.
We use the 15" for our iPhoto and iMovie. Our Camera is a Sony HDR CX12.
We have been plagued by the dreaded red import errors trying to import clips from our AVCHD camera. The errors occur when trying to import clips of 2 min or more. We have tried everything imaginable. We dropped the import size to "large" from "full", we tried every setting imaginable, at Genius behest we have wiped the system, reinstalled the OS, zapped and reset every imaginable cache, setting, etc. We've tried aroma therapy and crystals. Tried it plugged in, on battery, tried the USB cable, a card reader, and even camera archives and disk images, quit all programs, all with the same result... error!
In desperation I took the HDD out of the 15" MacBook and dropped it into the 13" (lesser) MacBook.
It just plain works. I can import 12 min clips while surfing the web, downloading podcasts, answering emails, you name it. I put the drive back in the 15" machine and... error. Strangely even short clips the 15" is able to manage import faster on the lesser machine!?
I am guessing iMovie has a hardware ID bug. Usually the MacBook pro has a higher end graphics chip but our 2.53 has the same chip as the smaller MacBooks, might iMovie be expecting a more robust graphics chip in a 15"??
Can others confirm a similar situation.
other than iMovie the 15" works swimmingly.

These ideas won't explain the problem, but might help establish facts and narrow the problem.
On your menu, go to Apple, About This Mac then click the More Info button. This will give you all of the configuration info about your MBP. You can then verify the graphics processor the system has (or thinks it has!).
You could add a new user in Preferences, Accounts. Creating a new user, log in as that user and before and launch iMovie.
I don't know, does Memory Stick have different class levels such as SDHC cards? If so, perhaps trying a bumped up card would overcome some undetectable anomaly particular to the 15" MBP.
