Import problems - Analog footage

This is my set-up>
VHS tape > linked to DV camera.
Dv Camera in (A/V - DV mode)
There is a blank tape in Camera.
DV Camera >via Firewire to G5.
Press play on VHS Recorder, footage plays on TV and in Camera viewfinder.
iMovie says Camera connected, but there is no picture in the window.
When i press import, a picture clip appears in the timeline, but duration of only 0:00:00. The picture also disappears from the DV camera viewfinder.
I would assume that the footage would import until I press the stop button on either the VHS or in i Movie. What am I doing wrong?

Ok, now plugged into AC power.
Switch camera off and on. iMovie reads Camera Connected.
Press play on VHS - picture on TV and DV Camera viewfinder.
Press import in iMovie>
screen reads "camera playing"
press import again
footage appears in iMovie for approx 1 sec then returns to blue screen "camera connected. if i press import again as soon as footage appears, it DOES capture for upto 4 secs, but the quality is very poor.
Possible reasons >
The VHS TV combo is too old.
The footage is so poor when transferred, it aborts the capture.
DV Camera is not compatible with iMovie HD
I should give up and pay to have it done professionally. This is a pain in the a*.
ANY LAST THOUGHTS?

  • Importing Analog Footage into my G5

    My apologies, I realize this is not a question specific to FCP but I thought I would post regardless. The insight here is extremely helpful.
    I am looking to import analog footage from a HI-8 Camera. How can I import? The camera has RCA outputs.
    Thank you
    Scott

    You need a firewire to analog converter.
    Canopus Grass Valley makes a number of them. From pretty inexpensive to more expensive:

  • Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

    Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
    With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
    Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
    I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
    What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
    It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
    As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
    Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
    It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
    Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
    Thanks guys.

    I mean I get the same errors.
    Let me explain again.
    There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
    I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
    The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

  • Importing "Hi 8" footage

    I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder that I've been using with FCE 2.0.3 for a long time now. Not the highest-end product in the world but it works great for my projects.
    Today for the first time I tried to use the Digital 8 camcorder to import into FCE footage that was recorded on Hi-8 tapes with a non-digital camcorder. Obviously it didn't work or I wouldn't be here crying about it.
    The footage plays fine on the camcorder, and I can even import into iMovie this way, but I can't figure out how to do it with FCE. I can control the camera from FCE's import window, but I can't mark in and out points (presumably because there is no timecode on the tape). I have tried to start the tape playing and then click the Now button, but all I get is a black window that says "waiting for time code".
    I have tried using the camcorder's DV pass-through feature, but that didn't make any difference either.
    Can anyone provide suggestions?

    This may be a silly question...but if you convert analog "Hi 8" footage using a Digital 8 camera, will this easy setup method (non-controllable DV converter), allow you to use the DV start/stop detect feature?
    The help menu describes this DV Start/Stop detect feature. I've never used it, but I have tons of Hi8 footage to transfer and would like to be able to automatically have chapter markers inserted.
    Is this possible when converting old tapes using a Digital 8 camera for transferring? Or does it only work with true DV footage.
    Thanks,
    Jenny

  • Audio from imported mini dv footage seems to work in iMovie, but not in Quicktime or Toast

    I'm importing some old footage from mini dv tapes using iMovie 10. When I play back the footage using iMovie it plays back with audio. When I go into the library and look at the .mov files, they don't play back with audio in Quicktime.
    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 and iMovie 10.0.4.
    I tried it in Final Cut X 10.1.2 too.
    They'll play back fine in VLC.
    But when I go to burn them to a DVD, the audio magically goes away again.
    Any ideas??

    Hi
    How do You go from iMovie'13 (v.10) to
    - QuickTime
    - iDVD
    I would:
    - Share as file and as 480p (NO OTHER)
    - This file should both play and import OK in QT and in iDVD
    How was it recorded in Your Camera ?
    - SP-mode 16-bit audio - or -
    - SP-mode 12-bit audio - or -
    - LP-mode 12-bit audio (90 minutes onto a 60 minutes tape)
    To work OK with iMovie - audio must be in 16-bit mode
    If tape is recorded in LP-mode - Then You need to use exactly the same Camera when making the Import to iMovie - not even same brand and type no: will work securely. Tolerances are too narrow.
    (There are works around - but to do that I use analog-out and an A/D-box with TimeBase correction - to get the best SP 16-bit version to work with)

  • Annoyed with JVC/Final Cut Pro import problem; will they ever fix this?

    Annoyed with Final Cut Pro JVC import problem; will they ever fix this?
    I've shot footage on JVC GY-HD111E in the UK in 720p/25p PAL mode.
    I'm trying to import lots of short clips (average 10 seconds) into Final Cut Pro (latest version with 720p/25p support) with a new Mac Pro maxed out with ram and 3 extra internal HDs.
    Problem is, on a scene-break i.e. pause/stop, Final Cut detects this and creates a new clip, but it takes about 5 seconds to 'searching for media" before it starts the new clip. Because some clips are only very short, this 5 second delay sometimes means I only get the final few frames of a clip, rather than the entire 5 seconds or so of it.
    JVC UK are blaming Apple and are saying it is up to them to fix it as Premiere and Edius does not have this problem.
    However, Symbiosis in the UK (who do HD-Connect box) say that the JVC ProHD cameras do not wrap the shots up properly at the end, they are kind of left open and this creates problems on scene-breaks.
    I've tried turning off the "create new clip on timecode break" etc, but it does not make any difference, when I do this it simply quits capturing on a scene break. Besides I have about 300 cutaways like this and I don't want to spend the rest of the year breaking them up on the timeline as this would be a futile and long workflow.
    I'm importing and working on a native HDV 720p/25p timeline and this is the way I want to work. I've already imported and edited 4 hours of footage, but these 4 hours were easy as all 4 tapes had no start/stop points, they were recorded continuously from beginning to end of tape for 64 minutes each time so importing was no problem; 1 clip per tape.
    But now I've come to my 5 tapes containing hundreds of cutaways I'm kind of screwed and need some advise on how I can import them natively in HDV without losing this 5 seconds off the beginning of each clip whilst FCP searches for the media each time.
    I've been told this issue is definately with FCP, any ideas how I can get around this?

    I haven't heard of this JVC/FCP problem, so I can't comment on it. However, whoever shot the cutaways didn't do you, the editor, any favors.
    I've been doing video since 1984, and I've got to say, anyone who shoots a scene that is only 5 or 6 seconds long on tape is making a huge mistake, and it's been that way since the beginning of computerized editing in the late 70s.
    Shoot at least 5 seconds of pre-roll before the shot begins, then roll tape for at least 5 seconds after you've got the shot. That's the protocol I've followed for 22 years now. Tape is cheap, edit suite time isn't.
    But laying down only 5 to 6 seconds for a scene is wrong, IMO.

  • Fixing import problem in iMovie HD

    I found a fix for the importing problem some people have been experiencing in iMovie HD. A google search turned up this webpage
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/vt3/10228
    I tried this and it worked. Basically the problem on import is linked to a Core Audio problem that can be resolved by opening Garageband and playing a few notes with the desktop keyboard. I had to do this a few times and try and play my video footage in iMovie a few times, but it eventually worked and I was able to import with no problem.

    Thanks for mentioning it.
    There have been several mentions of this here in iMovie Discussions, but older messages 'drop off' the page, and so sometimes they're not visible any more.
    Thanks for the timely reminder.

  • Importing 16:9 Footage!

    I have just purchased FCE and am finding the learning curve pretty steep to say the least. One problem I am having is importing 16:9 footage from my Sony DV Camera. Whenever I used iMovie HD it would recognise that my footage is in 16:9 and adjust appropriately, however, Final Cut Express is not recognising the Widescreen formatting and imports it at 4:3. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, for some reason I thought I was in the FCE forum. I think my brain is sizzling trying to learn FCE!
    I did try the anamorphic setting but all it seemed to do was add bars at top and bottom of screen (in grey?!).
    Let me try the FCE Forum!
    Thanks for your help.

  • Porblems importing Canon C300 footage into Premiere Pro CC 2014: only import 30 seconds

    Hi! I'm having problems importing Canon C300 footage into Adobe Premiere Pro 2014. I'm taking the files directly from the media browser to I can only import the first 30 seconds of each clip.
    Why can be that? Do I need a specific plugin?
    Thaks for your help

    Since you did not perform the copy process yourself, my thinking is that maybe something went wrong when it was done.  Far too many people don't understand or follow the process that works.
    My recommendation would be to get your hands on the cards and do it again, making sure to use only Explorer or Finder for the task.

  • Need desperate help on importing Sony SR11 footage

    I am having a real problem importing ALL SR11 footage into my new iMac. I have a lot of footage on my Sony. First I connect it to my iMac via USB, turn on the Sony, select USB Connect, it connects and iPhoto opens, not iMovie9 so I manually close iPhoto and open iMovie. Previously iMovie did open and showed some of the movie clips but not the recent video I just shot. I checked the Sony and the 48 clips I need are there and they play perfectly in the camera. The "NO NAME" icon is on the desktop and if I open it, there are 44GB of 60GB on the drive. There are several folders and a list of 287 MTS files in the STREAM folder which I guess are the video files.
    I tried the archive and the files are on my Desktop now. And of course the same thing happens here too.
    What am I doing wrong? And I also tried a new USB cable.
    Andy

    I called Apple Support and they sent me some important information. You can not mix the formats to import into iMovie. I continually saw the SD footage but not the HD or AVCHD files. It was suggested that I remove the footage and format the HD in the camera. Sooooooo what about the footage on the camera which could not be replaced.
    Thank goodness for PCs.
    I had an old version of the Sony PMB program on my HP laptop which is very slow. This program allows you to import both HD and SD files so I connected the SR11 to the PC and imported both formats into the PC in separate folders on the Desktop for easy locating. All appeared OK in the PC so I then formatted the SR11 erasing everything including stills (very important) on the card and HD and checked the camera to be sure it was clean. I then exported the HD files back into the camera and then checked to be sure all was there and then disconnected the USB cable from the PC. This took forever because I had 40+ Gigs of data on the camera which had to go both ways, import and export.
    I forgot to turn iMovie off on the iMac but as soon as I plugged the camera USB cable into the iMac the import window popped open and walla, all the HD footage was there so I spent the rest of the evening importing it into the iMac as MOV files. The SD footage was already in the iMac because iMovie saw it initially when I tried to import everything. The still files were copied to the iMac via the network.
    I will say that this was the first time the iMovie Import window had ever opened on its own. Just like the instructions say.
    I reformatted the SR11's HD and I am now ready to start afresh.
    KEEP THAT PC in the closet you just never know when it might come in handy!

  • HD Import Problems

    I recently purchased a Canon HV 20 HD Camcorder. Picture quality and playback from the camera is excellent. However I have had a few problems following import of HD footage to my computer with IMovie 06 HD. Most of the footage is fine, however a few scenes get very choppy and do not run smoothly (compared to direct playback from the camera). Also some scenes have distorted sound, it sounds like the speech is lowed down. I have all the latest updates installed for IMovie.
    Anyone else had similar problems?

    Hi Tim and others on this thread.
    Having raised a few hares, I felt duty bound to take another look at this problem.
    I dug out a master tape of my last 1080i HD project and which contained two clips with distorted sound. They were the last two clips of a 60 minute recording on a 63 minute tape and were, respectively, 13.5" and 47" long. They played fine in the camcorder and I have now discounted the camcorder and tape as a possible cause of the problem, following further testing in iMovie 6.
    I connected the camcorder to main power, then connected it via Firewire to the iMac, switched the camcorder to Play/Edit, and then opened a new imovie project(1080i PAL). I imported the last 4 minutes of the tape including the problem clips. The clips imported at half speed which is normal for my 1.8GHz CPU and shortly after I was able to preview in real time.
    The two problem clips still had distorted sound and the preceding two clips had no problem when reviewed in the Clips pane preview.
    I then highlighted the problem clips and dragged them simultaneously into the Timeline. The sound problem disappeared-they both played fine. I dragged them back to the clips pane and the problem reappeared.
    I then tried dragging them back to the Timeline and that seemed too much for iMovie 6. Sometimes a clip would work, then only one clip, then I lost sound altogether on the second clip,etc. Once you go beyond a certain point iMovie 6 will just become impossible.
    Quitting iMovie and then reopening the project got one clip to work temporarily but clearly is not a solution.
    Apple`s suggestions to conserve power when in HD by turning off Show Audio Waveform in View did nothing and neither did their other suggestion of deselecting Keep Playhead Centred in Playback Preferences. Neither did their suggestion to Repair Permissions. I had already tried their other suggestions of defragmenting my drive and there is now little more I can do to improve the performance of my computer.
    What did get me back on track was to close iMovie>ditch the iMovie preferences plist(Home>Library>Preferences)>re-open iMovie. The other thing that worked was your idea Tim of extracting the audio of both clips, and in fact this seemed to be the most lasting solution. However, starting with dragging both clips from Clips Pane to Timeline might prove better than either-I still do not know whether dragging them together was what what did the trick. Of course, it might be necessary to do all three if problems persist.
    Because I had confused iMovie with all this messing around, I ran DiskWarrior to tidy things up. No major problems were reported but this application does not report all the corrections it makes. Thus it sorted out a previous problem I experienced with iMovie 6 when trying to use purchased music but I have no idea what changes it made.
    My revised conclusion is that we may all need a lot more power in the CPU when editing high definition in iMovie 6. For example, the new 24" iMac G5 has the equivalent of double the power of my current iMac.
    David Babsy, a frequent contributor to these forums often mentions that most of his problems disappeared with a more powerful computer. You only have to see how things dramatically slow down in iMovie 6 when reaching the end of a big high definition movie edit to appreciate the need for more power.
    Obviously we still need extra RAM and also a big hard drive to cope with the vastly bigger files that HD needs.
    But power, memory and storage are, I now think, not the full answer. There is a bug or a series of bugs still to be resolved in iMovie 6 if it is to be truly stable. I include importing problems with HD in that list.
    I still think iMovie 6 is fantastic, even on my underpowered iMac.
    Apologies for previously confusing the issue with camcorder/tape issues.
    The problem clips are still working in iMovie as I post this.

  • LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

    LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
    This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2".  I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location.  I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already:  ssprengel, JayS In CT.
    I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard.  I run Lightroom on both of them.  The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002].  Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop.  I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3.  On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2.  No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
    My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop.  I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module.  I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy:  c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010  but always get the same error message.
    LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs.  I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
    I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version.  Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
    History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:  
    [[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog". 
    All of the following were using my laptop:  Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions.  I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3.  I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3.  I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder.  Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said  'some import operations were not performed').  I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error.  I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
    In order to try to isolate the problem.  I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card.  I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3.  I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting. 
    I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop.  Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images).  I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application.  Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader.  I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images.  I have a couple of  Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
    Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
    Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer.  Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact).  I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop.  Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."  While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
    With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images.  Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

    I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog.  My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
    Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog.  You will thus know which catalog you are working on. 
    Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
    Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D).  While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom. 
    I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder.  You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
    If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files.  You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
    Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'.  I have tried this routine  successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x.  If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!
