Import movie files made with (pro)consumer camera

As expected there is no way to import and manage those little movies (.mov or .avi) made with a (pro)consumer camera.
For example when you are on holiday and shoot a little movie between making your photos.
Now I use Foto Album Pro to manage 15.000 pics AND movies AND panorama's (bigger then 10.000 pixels) and they support movies and I can see a (selected) thumbnail of the movie so I see that thumbnail (with data and keywords) between all my photos. Perfect!!!
But.....
Now I am going to switch to LR (because of the editing capabilities and other modules) and beside that I CAN'T import my +/- 300 panoramas and also CAN'T import (just for managing not anything else) my avi's and mov's. Uffffffff.
But I keep smiling:-)

LR is perfect for me:-).. I mean in 2007 and later:-)..but in the early days I made photos with Powershot G5 and took movies as well..since 2005 I have a Canon EOS350D and good (L) glass.
I just want all my "image based media files" to be managed in one library, in one program. Not more...shouldn't be so difficult?
FotoAlbum Pro is better in managing then LR at this moment and I use it in combination with PSE 3.0. I switch to LR because of the "batch/actions" possibilities in LR wich I dont have in PSE. So i wished LR is the only thing I will need to manage and edit my image based files.

Trying to import a .mov file made with gotomeeting - no problems in past yet says No importable files -None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again. re-recorded 3 times and still not accepting HELP

Trying to import a .mov file made with gotomeeting - no problems in past doing this. After 3 attempts recording the hour long video and trying to upload it to iMovie, it says No importable files -None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again. What could the reason be?

After much research and troubleshooting, GoToMeeting replied with the final answer: We do not support the uploading of recordings to editing software. If you are having issues uploading a recording, unfortunately, we do not have tools or steps to resolve this. It is not a supported feature. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The no longer plan to support editing of recordings made with their software. So, we are planning to find a new meeting provider.

Importing mov files in premiere pro cs5

I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on my machine and now, i have two issues.
1. I do have the latest quicktime installed but when i try to import *.mov files with audio, only the audio is imported and works fine. the video isn't, but I dont get a dialogue error box.
A). if the *.mov file has only video, i get a file import failure message saying " the file has no audio or video streams".
2. the next prob is my dymanic linking does not work.
Help please

Im trying something and I hope you can help me. I have two computers, one dedicated to capturing a event and the other I have is dedicated to playback. They share the hard drive via a network. What I want to know is- is there a way for the dedicated playback machine to access a video file that is still being captured by the capturing machine and play back parts of it in a sequence??

Zone Alarm, eh? I used to use that program, but it got in the way of almost everything that I did, that I canned it completely.
Glad that removing ZA solved your issue.
Personally, I find MOV Animation CODEC to be quite good, and use that for a lot of work. Jeff Bellune, here, like the Photo JPEG format, but I have not explored that.
Good luck,

Importing movie files created with SONY HDR-TG5

Having trouble importing movie files created with this camera. Have had success importing direct from the camera using streamclip, but struggling with old files imported from our PC. These files have these two extensions; .modd and .m2ts

Eric:
Thank you. MPEG Slipstream worked great.
Do you know if there is software available that would let me see what is in/copy the files in the Sony folder so that I might be able to copy the disk directly instead of having to copy the files off of it with Handbrake? Would having the QT add-on for the MPEG-2 playback component be helpful?
Thanks again

I cannot import .mov files to Premiere Pro or Adobe Media Encoder.
How do I around this problem?

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you.
What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, exactly what does it say?
What version of Premiere Pro? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system?
Does this happen for all .mov files or just some? Has this ever worked before? What version of QuickTime do you have installed?
Here's a page written for After Effects, but the information is relevant to Premiere Pro and AME, too:

Import mov files into premiere pro cc windows

Hi
to import mov files into premiere pro cc 64bit ,windows 8.1 64bit pro do i need Quicktime pro or quicktime alternative ?
because when i try to import a mov file i got this error
thanks
i remember cs6 was able to import it
i have never installed quicktime pro

Your question simply cannot be answered definitively for a given clip because it's the codec that matters, not the wrapper/file extension.
As of one of the 7.x releases, Premiere implemented native support for decoding some codecs within a QuickTime file. But that native support does not extend to the entire universe of codecs that can be stuffed into the wrapper.
So you can either report the codec or simply install QT and see if that enables PPro to import the clip.

Video distortion when importing MOV file into Premiere Pro

On my mac my premiere is having issues when I import .Mov files. I was shooting on my Canon 70D DSLR at 30frames and when I import files the playback breaks up and is distorted at various points. It doesn't seem like all the files are doing this only some of them have this problem when they are imported. The footage was all shot under the same settings in the same 3 hour period. I tried exporting files and the distortion is still present in the exported media file. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.

Interesting that it's on the same frames ... have you certain effects that would impact those more than others?
Also ... only 8Gb RAM, sounds like one internal that's pretty much stuffed, and footage on an external ... PrPro runs a ton of crap through both the CPU & the GPU (depending on what you're doing and how much it "likes" your GPU/Vram) and also writes massive files to the database, media cache, and through the CPU use the OS's system cache typically. You've got a LOT of readin'/writin' going on, and with only 40Gb free there's not a lot of free space for things to be just parked for random access in a moment or two.
Also curious ... what's the connection to the external? USB2 or 3? Thunderbolt? eSATA?

I am unable to import Raw files taken with my new camera Canon SX60HS.

I am running Elements 12, I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Camera Raw v 8.7.1 as it indicates that it supports raw files taken with this camera model. I continue to get the error that nothing imported as it did not contain supported file types. Do I have to do something further to connect this ACR program to Elements in order to have it work or am I missing something else.

The SX-60 HS requires ACR 8.7, and PSE12 is only compatible up to ACR 8.5, so you’ll either need to upgrade Elements or use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to convert a folder of raw files to DNG files, and then those DNG files will open in your older ACR.
You can get the DNG Converter from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Import .mov files to premiere pro cs4 ?

hello,
i wanted to work with .mov files that were exported from final cut pro, but it seems like adobe doesn't support these files. does anyone know how i can still use them? convert them or do i need a codec or anything similar?
thank you very much for your help!
kind regards,
sibusiso mkhize

Welcome to the forum.
The first thing that you will need to do is determine exact CODEC that the .MOV files contain. On a PC, G-Spot will tell you. Also, QT Pro will give you some details, if you hit Ctrl+J.
Some of the Mac CODEC's will install on a PC, but some will not. So, it all depends on which CODEC was used.
Good luck,

Any way to compress or simplify imported PDF file made with autocad ?

Hello guys
I'm working on some layouts for property developer, and the architect who prepare all the floor plans, elevations etc... gave me bunch of PDF files, which I find really hard to use.
These are vector files, fairly small, from 500kb to 1mb, but despite their simple look, they are extremly complex and made of huge number of vectors.
Every single line is made of tens separate lines. To help you visualize, try to imagine 5cm stright line made of 2mm segments. It's very hard to select anything as it takes millions
of clicks just to clear small parts I don't need. Even a DOT in text content (project description and layout info) is made of 6 to 10 tiny vectors.
Secondly, there are millions of cliping masks. Whenever I select something to delete, I keep clearing unrelated parts of the drawing in totally different locations. I select tiny line
at the bottom of the elevation, and somewhere on top a tiny part of window will disapear... Releasing the cleaping masks is very time consuming...
My question is, can I import that PDF and export in some way to simplyfi, combine and minimize the number of vectors, the reimport the file to AI so it's more friendly to work with?
This has been wasting so much of my time, it's driving me crazy, top that, I have really well powered machine that handles files mach larger with ease, but it become barely usable
when I open these vector based PDFs. I single scroll or zoom in/out takes 30 to 50 seconds to refresh...
These files are killing me, please help
thank you for taking the time to read and sincerely hope you can share your expertise.
best regards
Mona

When I have no other option, I convert CAD drawings to high-res images and use PS or another image editor to remove unwanted items. This is usually fast and unobtrusive to the client.
This all is far faster and easier to do in another CAD application. When I can, I have requested either subsets of the original DWGs or DXFs because because my work--hence what I will bill out--is far faster with the originals. Then the cleaned up versions are PDF'd for placement.
If I have to leave the drawings as vector and cannot obtain WG or DXF versions, I load them separately in Illy and en masse deleted as much as possible to get past the worse of the sluggishness. I join as many of the lines as possible and group sections. I do a few Save As along the way to dump undo.
Take care, Mike

Can't import MOV files from JVC GY-HM650U Camera

Hi,
For some reason when I try to import an MOV into premiere that was generated by this JVC camera, I get an error:
" The file has to audio or video streams".
It plays fine in VLC player. I tried converting it to MP4 using ffmpeg.exe. Still get the same error. I don't want to have to re-encode it using another tool just to bring it into premiere for editing, this makes no sense. Usually premiere is pretty good about bringing in just about any kind of file.
We did recently upgrade to Premiere CC 2014, I never had this problem with the older version.
Strange. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
What model of Kodak is it?
There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
Hope that helps.

How can I watch an old .mov file made with adobe in 2002? (on PC)

I can get it to play some video, then it goes blank, and I can hear the audio only. I think the file might have flash, but my quicktime does not have that option in the advanced settings. Please help, The file was part of a college project in 2002 and I need to be able to access it ...???
I already tried VCL

I’m pretty sure Adobe NEVER intended for someone to copy an XMP file from one photo to another outside of LR as a way to replicate settings. You can make a preset from a photo, as discussed, or if you don’t want to do that, copy-paste the settings from a representative photo that you initially select to one or more new photos. You could have a special LR folder that holds standard photos to copy/paste from. Of course creating a Develop preset from the representative photo is the “normal” way to handle such situations, but maybe you have hundreds of different situations to copy settings from and don’t want to create presets for each one, but I’d argue that you could create a complex folder hierarchy for your presets and still have them findable without that much problem.
As far as the mystery about why some photos show Reset and some show From Metadata, is the Process Version (down in Camera Calibration) of the photo before reading the settings the same between the two situations? And in general, are these virgin photos newly imported into LR or have some been modified in LR, already? Does an XMP file already exist for any of these, where that XMP is being overwritten by your external-to-LR copying? Or do you have auto-write-XMP enabled and your hand-copied XMP is getting overwritten by LR, automatically, before you have a chance to read in anything?

Premiere Pro CC will not import .mov files

Having issues with Premiere Pro CC, I cannot import .MOV files created with my Canon 6D.
If I try to import the files, I get a very generic "File format not supported" error msg.
This is a new install of Premiere CC on a new computer. I was able to import them using Premiere Pro CC on the old computer.
Quicktime will play these files fine on my new computer.
Premiere Pro CS6 will import these files on the new computer.
Premiere Pro CC would open them fine on my old computer.
I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are my system details:
OSX 10.9.3
new Mac Pro
3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5
64 GB RAM
Files are on external G-Tech Thunderbolt drive.

That was I was thinking at first, but if Premiere CS6 (installed on the same computer) imports and plays them, they must be on the system, no?
I really do not want to transcode. I have an existing project that uses the videos and the project on the new system will not import them or re-link to the videos. Really trying to get away from having to re-create the project and re-edit.
Thanks!

Cannot import .MOV files into PE11

I am using PE11 on a Windows 7 OS laptop. When I attempt to import .MOV files taken with a Kodak Easyshare z980 digital camera, I get the following error screen "The importer reported a generic error." According to iTunes, the .MOV files are stereo, 320x420, 753kbps, using H.264 video codec. Please help. I tried updating my codec, but it appears H.264 is an older standard and it is not easy to figure out exactly how to update that codec correctly, and safely. Thanks
