Import only jpg files from a camera that shoots RAW+jpg?

Is there a way to import only jpg files from a camera that shoots both RAW+jpg? I only want the small jpgs copied, not the RAW file. I have the USB adapter and am about to go on vacation and wanted to use my iPad to upload pictures to Facebook on the go so I am going to shoot on my Canon 5D in RAW+jpg. All I want to copy to the iPad are the jpg files. Is there a way to only copy one?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

Hi, i've imported some mts files from my camera on fcpx 10,04 then i erase them (also from the trash). now if i try to reimport them, the import from camera doesn't see them anymore even if i see the files in the finder. someone could help me??

ps
i got a backup for the files but even if they are on the mmc, when camera is connected fcpx doesn't see them. if i try to import a new shoot it works!!

Thx a lot Salty. As you suggest I found other staff on support pages. I deleted AVCHD structure and kept only .mts... Now what I need to do is to convert those files with handbrake or similar tool in .mp4 or .mov to make them digest to FCPX.

Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

How to import only master files from iPhoto

Hi,
When I import an event or an album in Aperture from iPhoto, both the master and the corrected file are imported as a stack. But I would like in fact to have only the master file and rework (if necessary) the changes into aperture versioning system.
So, is it possible (I do not see how) when importing to tell Aperture to import only the master?
Otherwise, is it possible to ask Aperture to delete the corrected version only without having to do them one by one?
Thanks

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Make an Alias to the Originals folder and drag the alias to the Desktop or whereever you want it.
Now when you import, in the Import dialogue choose the Alias and it will bring you directly to the Originals Folder.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Import from a camera that contains mts files

what is the required file structure for FCE to import from a camera that contains mts files

The file structure is provided/created automatically by the camera....
So if you still have the original structure, then you should be fine, but you may need to install software for log and transfer from the camera manufacturer...
If you just have the individual mts file, you are SOL as far as log and transfer goes. In that case you need to purchase ClipWrap2 to convert to Pro Res....
Not sure how this all works with FC Express though...

When importing an MXF file from a CF card, I can only get :30 of the original clip. What am I doing wrong?

When importing MXF video file from a CF card to Final Cut 6, I can only import :30 of it. Why am I limited to :30 and how do I get the entire clip?

That's the WRONG WAY! You have to use Log and Transfer, like Michael says. Here's A tutorial on how to deal with Tapeless in FCP
<a href=http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1 target=_blank>Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial</a>
BUT NOTE! If this is MXF from a CANON camera...their new 305 camera...you not only need a plugin to get it to work (they either include it with the camera, or you have to go to the website... the Canon Log and Transfer plugin), it also might only work with FCP 7. Because the camera is brand spankin new. Try the plugin first...well, if this is from that Canon camera.

I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG". Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

I have a Sony DCR-SR32 HDD video camera which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way of importing video from this camera to imovie ?
Thanks
Pheona

Greetings Pheona,
That appears to be a hard drive based camecorder. Usually these mount on the desktop of your computer as a little white hard drive icon. If you go inside you should be able to find the movie files the camera is saving. See what format they are (the last 3 letters at the end of the file name is a good place to start).
You can drag the movie files from the camera hard drive to the computer to copy them. Then convert them with a video file conversion program to a format iMovie can understand.
Try converting one of the files using a video file conversion program like Video Monkey: http://videomonkey.org/downloads/
In the "Convert to" drop down menu choose "DV" (Preferred), "Quicktime", or "MP4". Then import the resulting file into iMovie and see if that works any better.
If that program can't convert the files you can try another file conversion program:

Does Final Cut 7 support direct importing of MTS files from an HD Camera

I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and have been importing MTS files from my Camera's Hard Drive to my Mac through the Log and Transfer feature. However, during the upload it converts the files to .MOV. The resulting .MOV files are much larger than the original MTS files. I am interested in learning if the latest Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 7 allows for a direct import of MTS files as well as editing this native format without the need to convert to a .MOV?
Also, I have many MTS files that are now MT2S originally imported onto my old PC that are now stored on Data Discs. Is there any way possible to bring those MT2S files onto my Mac and edit in their native format or will I need to convert them through some third party software to have them editable on by Final Cut Pro?
Any insight is appreciated!

You can, if you want to jump through some hoops, edit your native AVCHD footage in Final Cut (there is no direct import option but you can capture it into Toast, export that as an .mp4 and bring that into Final Cut Pro.) That being said, it is a very bad idea plus its clunky and slow.
Long story short: Use Log and Transfer and get a big hard drive.

Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
Thanks in advance.
Desmond

Which sony camera? there are a lot.
Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.
Here...I have a workflow tutorial for this: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial

How do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto? Photoes came across, video said incompatible.

how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto? Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
Your help is appreciated gang.: )

Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Assuming it's in the correct format, select your phone from the device list in iTunes on your computer, select the music tab and check the music you wish to sync.
