Import files from usb impossible?

I tried to import a .mov file from usb. by using the import file-command in FCPX. Impossible; the clip is empty with red warningsign. I must first via finder import into the map "film" ("movie") and from there import it (by using the importfile-command in FCPX) in the event and than it works.
For audio almost the same; first import in iTunes and from there into FCPX using the FCP-importcomand. I think this is wrong.
Any idea about the reason?

Is it possible you unchecked Copy files to Final Cut Events folder-in your Import Preferences?
Because if that's unchecked, then FCP X will go looking for your USB stick to play that file back. And if it's no longer attached to your computer, it will appear as offline- which is what that warning is.
I have no trouble importing footage from USB into FCP X that I then eject- as long as it's copied over on Import. Remember- "Import" is just FCP X getting pointed to your media. If you don't check, Copy files, the media doesn't move from its original import location and when that location is no longer visible to FCP X- i.e. on a drive that gets ejected- it will appear offline which is probably what happened here.
Though personally I wouldn't suggest ingesting directly from a USB stick but rather copying the contents from the stick to your hard drive first and then pointing it to FCP X- for improved performance.

  • How can I move my media files from USB-HD to NAS without having to copy the media files to iTunes Media folder?

    I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
    Now I want to move my files from USB-HD to a NAS without losing any information or settings. I want to do the similar to my iPhoto library. I do not want to consolidate my files to iTunes Media folder. The articles I’ve read only discuss how to do if the files are copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library. Any tips or trix?

    I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
    How are you achieving the above? What are your copy setting in preferences? If you are manually overriding the copy-to by holding down the option key while adding media then that won't apply when you import a playlist (as in importing the .xml).  When you import a playlist like that you are essentially adding the files to the library again and it will obey the  preferences setting since you can't option add them that way.
    Correct on the .itl.  Only iTunes itself can edit that file.
    I think you need to review your basic wants/needs in doing all this.  If your reason for not wanting to use the Media Folder settiing is because you do not want it to go on the internal drive, but you don't actually mind if it organizes it as long as it is on the NAS, change the Media Folder preferences setting to the NAS and let it consolidate to there.  If you want to move the stuff but keep it organized in your own folder structure you may need to do it as I suggested initially.  Once it is on the NAS and iTunes recognize the file locations you can do what you can only do if you manually manage music which is move it around in Finder afterward once it is on the drive and recognized to tweak location to your final wishes.

  • HT5251 I CAN'T TO IMPORT FILES FROM MY COMPUTER....

    THANS for guidelines but how to import files from computer and not from camera? i always receive the error message...

    Sorry but we are not mind readers so ONLY know what you tell us
    Your profile says you have OS X version 10.6.8 - iPhoto 9.3 will not work with that OS - you do not tell us what version of iPhoto you have
    so once again the actual exact error message and a list of what you have tried and the actual versions of iPhoto and of the OS that you are running would be a big help
    Then if I post a question to apple support i need a solution otherways...
    It is not your English - it is simply not providing simple, basic information - we can not see your system and only know what you tell us - providing incorrect and incomplete information makes it impossible to give valid assistance

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!  Help!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • Toshiba 40SL733g - How to play video files from USB flash memory

    When I plug my USB flash memory in USB port, Media Player menu shows up with two options : Photos and Settings.
    How do I make my TV recognize and play video files from USB flash memory?
    Flash is on FAT32.
    I have tried to play avi, mp4 and mkv files but nothing happens. It looks like flash is empty.
    Could you please help me solve this problem.
    Thanks!

    bzunic, have you updated the firmware for your model?.
    With my own set, (32RL900A), the instruction manual said that certain buttons on the remote control were "unused", however, after the first firmware update, the previously "unused" buttons were used, (In our case, Time Shift, Record, and so on).
    The reason I talk about this is, these features became available after a firmware upgrade, and were not mentioned in the user manual, in our case, and a later download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave the instructions for the use of these features, which were shown as "not available", in the original instruction manual supplied with the TV, but became available after the firmware upgrade.
    Let us know how it all works out ............

  • How do I import files from My Canon XF300 into FCPX

    This is driving me mad, I am trying to import files from my Canon XF300 into FCPX  I have tried everything but no sucess any help would be welcomed.

    Is there a plugin for FCPX Ver 10.0.7, I found one for FCP 7  but that doesn't work. I also downloaded The Canon XF Utility but although this opens the clips from the camera I am unable to get the clips into FCPX.
    Fred,
    Sorry, I mis-spoke. I do have Canon Utility installed on my SL machine, but have used it mainly as a file review interface and as a backup utility. My MXF files are then brought in via Log & Transfer in FCP 7, which requires one of the plug-ins (and as you noted, does not work with FCPX).
    In the majority of situations I'm ingesting on location to a MBP running Lion. In that case, I have the option of importing them either into FCP7 or FCPX.
    A came across this hack for  getting the Canon plug-in to install on SL. It looks straightforward but I haven't tried it, so if you do, proceed at your risk. As for me, my plans are to partition my drive later this month and boot from both 10.6 and 10.7 as necessary.
    Good luck.

  • How do import files from pse 12 to pse 13

    Hi. how do I import files from pse 12 to pse 13 .. I was given 'full' version as opposed to update from 12 to 13

    Hi trog1654,
    You can take back up of the catalog in PSE12 and restore it in PSE13 or you can use convert feature(Catalog Manger(shortcut:Ctrl+Shift+C)-->convert) in PSE13. It will be a good option if you want to move all files from PSE12's catalog.

  • Import file from another CMS (SharePoint) repository

    Given:
    Documents reside in various SharePoint Site Collections.
    Book is saved to Site Collection #1
    Using FrameMaker's CMS functionality, I am able to easily browse multiple repositories (each repository representing a connection to a different SharePoint Site Collection).
    How can I import, via reference or copy, a file from Site Collection #2?  The options to browse to another repository, by URL, or by local file system are grayed out.  It would appear that I am only able to import files from within the same site collection that my book exists in.

    Is this a bug or limitation of the software?  Any chance this will be fixed in an upcoming update?

  • Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Lightroom is a complete stand alone program and does not require you to have any other Adobe product on your computer.
    Adobe Camera Raw is a plugin for Photoshop CS and is not require by Lightroom nor is it used by Lightroom.
    However if you are using both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 /Photoshop CC and wish them to 100% compatible then you will need to update the ACR Plugin in Photoshop.
    Lightroom 5.7 will work fine with your Canon 7dMk2. (Its internal processing engine is the equivalent of ACR 8.7)
    To wit LR 5.7 is an alternative to ACR 8.7 Plugin in Photoshop, you do not necessarily need both.

    venkiTo move data between 8i and 11g, you need to use original export/import utility.
    You need to run export of 8i using 8i version exp and import the dump file into 11g database using 11g version imp.
