Import media questions

Device is the Nokia E5-00 and Ovi suite version is 3.1.1.78
Whil;e importign media files, is it possible that:
a. only the files get imported, no folders
b. after a successful import, the data is automatically deleted from the phone

Yes, but I don't believe it is real-time, but near real-time. As images are shot, they populate a 'hot folder." An Automator action runs in the background and pulls any new images appearing in the folder and imports them into Aperture.
There are a number of posts in the forum that may be worth you reading.
From the Help (User Manual).
Does Aperture Support Tethered Shooting?
You can use an Automator workflow to set up tethered shooting between your camera and your computer to automatically import images into Aperture. Aperture works with Automator to automate common tasks. For information about using an Automator workflow for tethered shooting, go to http://automator.us/aperture.

Can't import media

OK, I'll start by telling you what I THINK caused this problem. I've been working on this project on one computer, then moved my HD to another to work at the office. I had to let PE know where the files were. When I pointed it to their location, it seemed at first to get it's new bearings. But I see that this really screwed things up...I think.
Now that I'm back at my home computer, whenever I got to place a file in the timeline, I see this batch of confusion...I get the same symbol regardless of the file type I import. I see the same symbols for all of the files I'd previously imported, but they are correctly rendered in the timeline.
I've tried deleting the files and re-importing, and just redoing the get media thing. When I do, windows presents the standard looking window of files. I click any file in the list and all the files are cleared from the screeen and only the one I clicked remains. The process is pretty wierd and looks like this.
Basic question....how do I get PE to let me import media again?
Philosophical question....why does this happen just as I get near the end of a project. Have I taken Murphy on as a partner?

Well, yes and no. I can get media into the project but....
I just added my last day of time lapse using the numbered stills method. Zip, into the timeline. Yee Hawww. Then I rendered it so I could see it quickly enough to reposition it with your spot on Bezier curve advice. Once it was rendered about 1/4 of a 30 second clip plays then it freezes. I can't even see additional frames when I focus my view later in the clip.
I tried creating a new project and dropping into it. Same thing. I'm in the process of burning it to a disk to see if it's really in there or not.
In that I get something different whenever I reconfigure memory, that's almost got to be it. I'm going to try to leave you guys alone for a while and work through memory options. If you see a big mushroom cloud comming up over Dallas....that's me;-)

Problems importing Media into iMovies '11

I am unable to import Media using the Media Buttons on the right of the screen which are permanently greyed out. I have researched various forums and seen advice to delete a file from the Library>Preference folder in your Home Profile in Finder but none of these folders exist in my Home Profile and when I search the whole machine for the file required to be deleted, it does not appear to exist anywhere at all. My Library>Preference Files appear to be directly under the "MacIntosh HD" Drive in Finder but as I say, hte one that needs deleting is not there.
Anyone any idea how I resolve this or re-install iMovies. Content is not a huge issue as I don't have much on there for now.
Exasperated!!

Hi - I found this on a Google Search for the question as no-one seems to be answering this.
According to Apple official website, we know that iMovie can import DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV, and M4V. And MP4 files commonly defines the storage of MPEG-4 audio and scenes using the ISO Base Media File Format, this kind of MP4 can be imported into iMovie without question. But the MP4 files may also contain any number audio and video codec, and sometimes even subtitle streams included. And that kind of MP4 cannot import into iMovie on Mac.
As we know the reason why we sometimes can't import MP4 to iMovie on Mac, we should got an idea to solve that question. Actually it is very simple, we just need to convert MP4 to iMovie compatible formats. And here I advise you to use our professional Mac MP4 to iMovie Converter. It is specially designed for Mac users to deal video questions. The converting speed and high output quality will fulfill your need. Using our Mac MP4 to iMovie Converter you can set the resolution, frame rate, bit rate to possible high, and you can also trim, crop, rotate, apply your video effect to the video.

Cant import media

I am trying to import media from an external hard drive but it wont come up in fcpx libraries window and I want to save my projects there as well.

You need to ask your question here: Final Cut Pro X
This part of Apple Discussions is for the legacy suite, Final Cut Studio.

Import media dialog is not showing me folders, instead showing me every singe file that's inside all of the folders on my desktop? What gives?

So i'm trying to import media that's on my desktop, one clip that's inside a folder. when I choose import media and the dialog box opens, I choose desktop to navigate to the folder but there are no folders found. FCP starts loading all of the files individually that are inside all of the folders on my desktop. I can't for the life of me figure out why it's doing this. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

DSounds like you have a folder on the desktop with the name of a camera folder something like DCIM or PRIVATE that makes the application read the containing folder the Desktop as if it were a camera drive.

Importing media on iMac using iPhoto help

I trying to import media using iPhon on my iMac and it says the file is unsupported. So
when end I try to play the movie , QuickTime converts this before playing clip and creates new file which then I can oort the converted file into premiere pro. Why is this have to be converted to a new file(never had to do this when using iMovie)? And is there any quick way to do all files at once instead of every one individual?

Holding alt key does bring up the choices, but I never see the bootable USB or external DVD drive as options... I only see the 2 partitions - the main iMac and the partition created by Bootcamp to install windows.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Since 10.0.9 FCPX crashes at "Import Media"

Hi,
it never happend before, the problem has shown up after i updated fcpx.
I tried to import my footage, it´s from a panasonic hmc 151. 1080/50i, AVCHD.
I never had a problem before. It was always the some work around.
Open FCPX, insert SD-Card into the build in sd card reader, "import media", choose the filmes, set in and out point, import. finish.
After the update it starts that the footage will not be shown in the "import media" window. Ok, no problem I copied everything to my hard drive. Opened the "import media" window again. Nice, footage shows up. Now the problem, i can only see: clip1, clip 2 etc.
With the click on a file to preview or something final cut crashes within seconds.
Every time I try, what happend? Also with the Canon 550d/T2i Rebel footage.
No preview, straight crash.
I also saved the fail protocol, if someone needs it to help.
thank you for your help, philipp

Try trashing preferences; I regularly use Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion as my first remedy when FCP starts acting up.
What happens if you connect via USB cable? Are both Archive and Import available and do either work?

Can't import Media into FCP X

In the last week or two when I try to import media into FCP X I end up with a very dark and locked import screen. The only way I can recover is to force quit FCP X. It doesn't always happen but it is getting more and more frequent.
I have not updated to Marverik and I'm running the latest version of FCP X on the same iMac I have used since installation.
Any suggestions beacuse it really is starting to beome very, very frustrating.
Thanks

They system is hanging up, waiting on some command to finish, which is not able to. So let's look at ways to fix this. Becasue you never want to do an upgrade to fix problems. Only upgrade a proerly working system. Otherwise, you may just be hauling old problems into a new envoronment, and making things worse. I've seen it a lot over the years.
First, verify that all of your drives have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space. Not enough free space on any dirve can cause similar odd behaviors.
Second, you need to do some housee cleaning. Start by downloading and running the free application "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com). Use it to trash the FCPX preference files. It is easy and safe to you. None of your media or projects will be touched. After that, run Disk Utility to "Repair" all of your drives (ignore "Verify", total waste of time).
If none of that helps, I'd recommand you download the free application "FCS Remover" from Digital Rebellion. Use it to uninstall FCPX. Some folks say to just move the app from the Applications folder to the Trash. That leaves a bunch of other files hanging around that could be bad. Use this app. Once you've uninstalled FCPX, launch the App Store, go to the Purchases section, and FCPX will have an "Install" button. Reinstall a fresh copy, see if that helps.

WHEN I IMPORT MEDIA FROM MY CAMCORDER TO iMovie it doesn't load up in the order of the way it was recorded and i have to piece the movie in the correct order when i make tmy project!

You might try restarting your device, your router and your Apple TV.

FCPX has suddenly started crashing when trying to import media

I updated FCPX to 10.0.8 a couple of weeks ago and everything has been fine until today (I'm fully updated with Mountain Lion as well) . Now every time I try to import media, FCPX crashes. This occurs right after I hit the "Import Selected" button -- and occurs regardless of type of media, where I'm importing it from, or how many clips. I get a very long error message -- I've attached just the first part of it (through Thread 0) below. The entire error message runs through Thread 37.
The only thing I did right before this happoened was to delete some old unused applications that were not even on the system HD (they were on a different internal HD - drive A). The applications included very old versions of Final Cut and iMovie that had not been opened in a couple of years. After I did this, FCPX suddenly started to recognize another internal HD (drive C) as a camera for the first time, and tried to import a bunch of old home movies, which it has never done before. And ever since then it started crashing when trying to import new media -- even after I "ejected" drive C.
Any ideas? I'm at a total loss and in the middle of a big project for a client, and could really use some help. Thanks!

I'th Mountain Lion as well. *and FCPX 10.0.7

Update: the problem is definitely with the internal HD "drive C". Before restarting FCPX after the last crash I unmounted the C drive -- then restarted FCPX and was able to import media just fine. I thought I had tried this already, but I guess not.
So, what did I change with my C drive when I deleted the old apps off my A drive? There is both an iMovie events and projects folder on the C drive -- but FCPX has never tried to import them until after I deleted the old iMovie app (I still have the most recent version of iMovie on my system drive -- but have never used it to open these old folders). I read on another thread on this forum that if I "hid" these folders, FCPX would not try to recognize them, so I moved them to within another folder on the same drive -- but FCPX is still trying to recognize and show them when the Import Media window is launched -- and still shows the C drive as a camera.
So, what can I do to stop this from happening?
Thanks!

Why I can`t import media file to my second disk?

I install ssd on my mbp as startup disk,when I try to import media,I can`t select my HDD as save path? What should I do?

To get the easy stuff out of the way, your drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). I would assume it already is since this used to be your boot drive.
Now on to more complicated stuff.
The Final Cut Events and Projects must go in the Movies/Final Cut Projects and Movies/Final Cut Events folders in your Home folder. Or they can go in the Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events folders at the top level of a non-boot drive. Moves should be made inside Final Cut Pro X to preseve the links.
What I did was to put my OSX and Apps on the SSD, and then I put the rest of my Home Folder onto the Hard Drive. This includes FCP, iMovie, iPhoto, Aperture, Garageband, and all my documents. When you split your home folder like this, it takes some special considerations. I found a website by frequent Apple Discussions Contributor James Ponds (Pondini) to be very helpful in setting up my Home Folder.
Here is a link to his website.

Here is a link to the specific post for setting up a home folder on a secondary drive.

Import media from card vs. Finder

Is it a bad idea to Import MOVs straight from the Finder to FCPx as opposed to Importing from the original card structure? The only difference I see it the "Camera Name" and "Reel" columns are blank, but maybe there is something else I am missing.
Let me back up:
I'm seeing signifigantly slower read/write speeds when I import media that are within the original CF card data structure as opposed to when I import files that are "loose" in the Finder.
I have cloned my source cards from the CF media to my RAID, which is where I am importing from (there is no card attached to my computer).
I am importing to an Event that is on the same RAID as my cloned card.
When I use FCPx to Import media from the cloned card on my RAID, I am seeing read/write speeds of about 20MB/s.
If I copy the MOV files from the cloned card to the "Original Media" folder in my Event (again, on the same RAID as my cloned card), I get speeds around 300MB/s. If I import the MOVs that I copied to the "Original Media" folder, the Import into FCPx is instant.
Thanks

Problems importing media

Is anyone experiencing problems importing media? I'm trying to import to a project but FCP is making it difficult to locate my files, my stuff isn't organized, and EVERYTHING is being loaded from my Hard drive, my external hard drive, EVERYTHING, so it's difficult to locate which file i'm exactly looking for.

I believe today's OS update (for the computer, not the phone) has some Apeture fixes in it - have you downloaded that update and tried again?
