Import video from usb video device

Looking for the cleanest way to upload and organize video clips from Flip Ultra HD to use in iMovie. Former PC user, new to Mac.

My Pinnacle Dv500 came bundled with Premiere 6.0 which I updated to 6.02... and I also updated the Dv500 driver software from the V3 to V4.5a so it would save in "standard" DV AVI Type 2 48khz files, instead of the ones that required the Dv500 codec to edit
When I bought a new computer and started using WinXp instead of the Win2000 that came with my Alienware Pentium3, I could never get Premiere 6 to work... would start, flash a screen or two, and then just go away
I then bought Scenalyzer, since it was compatible with the Dv500 (still had to have P6 and Dv500 drivers installed) but it turned out to be very FRAGILE as any slightest glitch on the tape would stop the program... and since some of what I'm doing is capturing my OLD library of VHS tapes, that simply wouldn't do
My current solution is a dual boot drive with Win2k/WinXp
Premiere 6 captures EVERYTHING in the Win2k partition... files saved to 2nd drive... and then I use PProCS3/Encore3 for editing and DVD creation
Just a "bit" of a hassle to have to restart between capture & edit/dvd... but much better than Scenalyzer stopping every time an old movie hit a rough spot in the tape... rough spots that capture just fine with P6

  • 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.

  • Flex 2 Windows 8.1 re-install from USB boot device ignored

    Sorry to jum into your thread, but i've been trying to re-install Windows 8.1 on my Flex 2 but cannot succeed in booting from USB drive with the Windows 8.1 installation.
    Same Thumb drive work on other laptop, but on this one, the Flex just ignore it and continue to load Windows 8.1 from it's internal HDD.
    I tried to shutdown the Flex and turn it on using the NUVO button, i selected the USB as boot device and still got boot from internal HDD.
    would appreciate any help from your side.
    Moderator edit: Matched subject to content

    Right, just checked the GNU documentation and you should use this format to boot Windows on sda1:
    menuentry "Windows" {
    insmod chain
    insmod ntfs
    set root=(hd0,1)
    chainloader +1
    https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manua … ading.html
    However:
    If you have installed DOS (or Windows) on a non-first hard disk, you have to use the disk swapping technique, because that OS cannot boot from any disks but the first one. The workaround used in GRUB is the command drivemap
    Another problem arises if you installed more than one set of DOS/Windows onto one disk, because they could be confused if there are more than one primary partitions for DOS/Windows. Certainly you should avoid doing this, but there is a solution if you do want to do so. Use the partition hiding/unhiding technique.

  • Importing Photos from USB drive, autostarting Iphoto

    In order to get my iMac to automatically start iPhoto and initiate the import process from a USB drive, does the USB drive have to have the same exact file structure of that used on my camera's SD card? When I connect a USB drive with jpegs on it, iPhoto will not automatically start.

    Why do you need it to start iPhoto automatically?
    If you really do, then format it the same as a Camera Card - FAT 16.

  • Can't get sound from USB input device

    I've got an Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB mixer plugged into my shiny new MacBook Pro (running Leopard). The Mac properly recognizes the USB Audio Codec as a sound input device, and in fact shows a signal being received from the mixer. However, I don't actually hear any sound from the mixer, even with it selected as my input device, and my recording program still records only from the built-in microphone. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

    Heh... it turns out that there was nothing wrong, at least technically. I got on the phone with Apple and asked if the native OS environment relays inputted audio through the speakers, and was told quite simply, "No." It looks like my PC schools Mac on that account.
    As it happens, yes, the programs I was trying to use (Cubase, and I tried Garageband for gits and shiggles) DO have a monitor function to allow the ability, as well as ways to select your input. Cubase, the one I'd been experimenting with, simply has it coached in different (and extremely technical) terms and methods.
    So, it looks like my difficulties arose from my lack of experience in a high-level audio program with a steep learning curve, coupled with what I perceive as a basic design shortcoming of Mac. (I think there should at least be an option in the OS environment somewhere.)
    Ah well, live and learn. Thank you so much for your assistance.

  • Importing Muisc from USB Flash to iTunes...

    I just got a new computer and set up a new iTunes account on it. So I'm starting from scratch (I no longer have access to the old computer). So I thought, "Why not save all the music I currenly have on my Windows Media Player and transfer it onto a USB Flash?" I mean it worked on the old computer, Transferring my music in Windows onto iTunes. So I now have well over 500 tracks on my USB Flash just waiting to be uploaded into my new iTunes account but for some reason I can't import my tracks onto this new iTunes? What am I doing wrong or how can I transer my music so I can Sync it to my phone.
    I currently upgraded to the latest version of iPhone and it wiped all my music except for my purchased tracks through iTunes. Is there any way I can transfer my songs from the USB Flash onto iTUnes? IF so how do I go about doing this?
    Somebody out there... Please help! Thanks...

    If they are DRM-free or are iTunes tracks:
    Go to iTunes Preferences, Advanced tab, and check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" and click "OK".
    Then choose "File/Add folder to library" and browse to the USB drive.

  • How force load BIOS from USB thumb device

    My BIOS firmware memory is damaged, I have all kinds of malfunctions described on this Forum. I have created a BIOS recovery USB device and I wonder if there is a possibility to configure the computer so that to load the BIOS, not Windows!, from the USB device that would be permanently plugged-in.Thanks!

    I use the 
    Windows USB/DVD Download Tool too to create the usb thumb drive. And I use the tool to copy the iso file there.
    And when I use that drive on an older laptop runs windows 7. it works.

  • How do I import photos from usb to iphoto?

    Sorry new to Mac I have old photos I have scanned would like to import them to Iphoto.

    Just drag the into the open iPhoto window.
    Were any of these photos scanned as black and white?  If so they may not import or appear normal once imported into iPhoto.  That's because iPhoto does not support photos scanned as grayscale.  So import just one and see if it imports and appears normal in all modes, thumbnail and full size.
    If that photos doesn'twork download Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip from Toad's Cellar and drop a copy of it onto the application.  Then try importing the converted photo into iPhoto.  If it works you can convert the rest of the B/W scanned files before importing into iPhoto.

  • Copying from USB NTFS device with Dolphin (KDE) causes 100% CPU usage

    I am copying +/- 30 GB of Music files (flac) from my external USB HDD which is formatted as NTFS.
    I have installed ntfs-3g and am experiencing near 100% CPU usage. What's wrong?
    Additional info: I am using KDE and initiated the copying through dolphin. KDE's system monitor only shows CPU usage near 100%, but no processes in the process view could be responsable.
    Thanks!

    What mount options are used for that ntfs drive?
    Edit: There are many similar threads but I couldn't find a solution other than trying out some kernel and cpufrequtils fun.

  • Does your motherboard boot from USB flash device?

    Please advise by posting any mobo that has USB Flash boot option.\
    Thanks in advance!!

    Mine says it can boot flash drives in the BIOS and it is a boot option, etc. However every flash drive I've tried has failed to boot on mine (and they boot on other people's computers). I've actually come across a few motherboards like this.

    Hello, how can I boot from USB flash device on the hp tablet elitepad 900?

    You have to create a bootable USB drive and then copy the bootmgr.efi from an Win7 machine to the USB drive.  I ran into this issue when I reinstalled the OS on mine and it was a pain to figure out.

  • I can't import photos from my iPhone

    Okay:  I have Lion, I have iOS 5.  I have the latest version of iPhoto.  However, When I open iPhoto and have my phone unlocked, I am no longer automatically presented with images from my camera roll ready for import.  Nothing happens.

    Hi Daniel!
    I have an article here that can help explain how to do this through a couple of methods on your new MacBook Pro:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Specifically, these are the instructions relevant to your situation:
    If you have a Mac
    You can import pictures from your iOS device using iPhoto (if installed):
    Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
    Note: If iPhoto does not automatically open, you may wish to enable the behavior.
    Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
    When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    If you do not have iPhoto installed on your computer, you can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
    Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
    Click Options.
    Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
    Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    Click OK.
    Click Download All.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
