How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

Hi
As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
Any help
Thanks.

I am still not getting this.
I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

Importing Footage from Camera (Log and Capture)

I am importing footage from my camera onto FC. Now my laptop doesn't have nearly enough space to import all the footage, but I have an external HD with 500 GB which is more than enough. But when I press log and capture, it immediately takes up space on the computer. Is there a way to import the footage directly to the hard drive?
thanks.

In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
When the System Settings Pane opens, on the Scratch Disks Tab, you can deselect your system disk and select your external drive as the location for the media you are using. You need to deselect the system drive, not just add your external. When done, click OK. Any media you have already transferred to the system disk will still be available for use in the edit, this will direct FC to use your external as the media storage device from this point forward.
Your external drive should be connected to your computer via firewire or esata, USB (other than USB3) is not recommend for video work, and may give you performance issues.

How do i import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

How do I import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Problem Importing Footage From a DVD

I had posted a question about a week ago asking how to import footage from a DVD into FCE. Per Tom Wolsky's suggestion -- thank you very much-- I connected my DVD player to an analog/digital converter in order to capture my video material. Although FCE is recognizing the DVD player (evident by the fact that when I click "capture" the video is displayed in the capture window ), however, FCE won't actually capture the video when I click "capture now".
When the "capture now" window pops up it displays the message: "Waiting for time code. Device must be in VTR mode when device control is enabled." I can't figure out how how to correct. It seems that I'm only one step away from my objective of capturing the DVD. Would appreciate any guidance to get me over this final hurdle. Thanks.

Yes. ANY time you want to capture from a non-timecoded or non-controllable source, use that setting.

Does Premiere Elements support DVCPRO-HD? How do I ingest and work with HD-footage from HVX-200?

Hi there,
I work with Premiere Elements 11 on a windows PC, and I try to ingest HD-footage from Panasonic HVX-200 Camcorder. Premiere Elements only recognizes thumbnails, but not the footage itself? What do I have to do? Or does Elements only support SD-footage? Do I have to install DVCPRO-HD Codec? Where do I get it then?
Thanks for your help!, yours Mike

Welcome to the forum.
PrE does support HD material, just not all of it.
With DVCPRO HD on P2 media, I am not sure that you will be able to work directly with the media files from your Panasonic in PrE. This is the list of supported formats: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-1665492e133c9c19956- 8000.html#WS300DE01D-F057-4639-96D1-F99EEE163C24
PrPro can Import and edit DVCPRO HD on P2 media. The Panasonic P2, along with its metadata is supported: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html
Good luck,

Can iMovie import footage from new Canon 5D Mark11

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Canon 5D mark11 and being just a still photographer I know very little about movie footage and how to handle it. Does anyone know if iMovie 08 can import movie footage from this new camera?
Regards,
Scott

I was also wondering whether iMovie might be usable for editing the footage off the Canon 5D mark11.
iMovie '08 may be able to edit the footage natively (i.e., again assuming the profiles are QT compatible). iMovie HD, on the other hand, will have to convert the files to your designated project type as part of the import process. In either case, I assume the files will automatically be stored in/be managed by iPhoto and be directly available to either application.
That depends on what you want to do in your edits. GarageBand (if you have or purchase iLife) will allow you to perform conversions, limited filters, and/or scale content as part of the re-compression process. MPEG Streamclip (free) offers most of the more advanced editing features (trimming; merging; converting; scaling; changing frame rates; adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, and/or volume; etc.) of QT Pro (without spending the $30) but does not give you the audio/video layering, track level video scaling, masking, setting of poster frames, extractions/deletions at the track level, the adding of logos and/or watermarks, and other advanced features of QT Pro or Final Cut. My personal choice is to use both MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro and iMovie/Final Cut for their complementary capabilities. Again, what you need depends on what you need/want to do with your files.

Importing footage from sony HDR-SR12 to External for later use in imovie?

Hi all, I have a question, I would like to save my movie footage which is on my sony HDR-SR12 to a external drive(G Raid1TB) so I can view and also import clips to imovie for making movie's later. I have partitioned the Ext HD 150gb for photos and 781gb for movie footage. Just out of curiosity I mounted my camera and pressed get info and the format on the sony camera is MS-Dos(fat32) does this matter at all? Also which is the best way or how do I import the footage from sony hdr-sr12 to the external Hd. I have never done this before so your help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to mess up.
Thank You
Jess

I should have mentioned, it is a good idea to make an archive copy of your AVCHD footage before importing. You should be able to do this from the FILE menu in iMovie. This will preserve the AVCHD files exactly as they were on the camera.
When you import, you convert the AVCHD files (which are highly compressed) into Apple Intermediate Codec, which is suitable for editing.
If you want to make sure that your archive copy is working properly, you can import from your archive copy, rather than importing directly from the camera. This is a good way to make sure you have a good archive copy before erasing the video on the camera.

Importing footage from JVC camera in FCP6

Hi all,
I am working with a JVC Everio HD camera (I think it is the GZ-EX250). I can't find a way to import footage directly into FCP6. It seems the only way to get the footage in there is to import it into iMovie (I have iMovie 8), then export it as a Quicktime, and then import the Quicktime into FCP. I've done this with footage that was shot using this camera in SD mode. My understanding is that if I want to shoot in HD that I'll havge to convert the footage before bringing it into iMovie. Seems like a pretty cumbersome process. Maybe I'm missing something. Does anyone know how to import my HD footage from this camera directly into FCP6?
I hope my explanation makes enough sense for someone to give me a good answer. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks very much in advance!
Andy
MacBook Pro (running OSX 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz INtel Core Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM).

Great tutorial - easy to follow. I notice I only had two preferences listed for importing - there was no setting for Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) so I used Apple ProRes 422. Is the lack of choices because I'm using FCP6 not 7, or do the preferences get added as you hook up different cameras? At any rate, thanks for the help!

How do import footage from Canon Vixia HV40 to Macbook Pro?

Hello everyone,
I am in dire need of help! I have to edit video footage from a conference and all of it was filmed on the Canon Vixia HV40. I received a slip in the camcorder bag that said make sure computer and camera are off before plugging in firewire wire. Once plugged in, turn the computer on first, then turn the camera on. I've tried this but my macbook is not recognizing any external plug in.
I downloaded the Canon Vixia software but it keeps giving me this error message: No camera found.
I've searched the interwebs for different solutions but I'm at a loss as to what I should do. Also, is there a way of importing the footage directly to Final Cut Pro X?
My macbook specs are:
2.6 GHz intel core i7 v10.8.
If anyone can give me specific, step-by-step instructions, I would be so grateful!

That camera shoots AVCHD.
Are you using Log & Transfer to access the footage?
Can you see the camera's storage in the Finder?

Problem importing footage from Canon XF305 into fcp

I have footage from a card having recorded on a Canon XF305. I literally dragged and dropped card onto my desktop making sure not to change any file names. I am now trying to import this footage from my desktop into fcp. I have downloaded the canon fcp plugin but everytime I try to import the footage using the canon plugin preferences I get an error message which reads... "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. Can anyone help me??

Hi there,
I've had no joy with this. Have tried everything. Just can't get footage into fcp any way I try. I have downloaded the plugin but I still get the same error message. "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
My work flow is as follows.
Open final cut pro. Go to log and transfer. Go to preferences within the log and transfer window and click on Canon XF plugin. Then go to import. Click on file on my desktop which is labeled as CLIPS001. Then error message comes up.
Memory card was dropped directly onto my laptop and onto a back up drive without changing any file names. Was thinking this would be straight forward.
Any help will be hugely appreciated. Am I missing something simple?

Importing footage from Panasonic GH2to FCP

Firstly, am I right in thinking that fooatge imported using iMovie will come into FCP and only be able to be used in a sequence with AIC?
I bought the GH2 a year ago and had trouble importing. I got a tech guy to help and he said just use iMovie. I have been using that all this time and only recently found out that the pro res 422 codec i imported footage with was never in use and that the AIC that I used has poor quality.
Do I need a plug in to import?
I'm using version 6.0.
Catherine.

You need to use something like Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP to convert the footage to ProRes. FCP won't import it/convert it directly. AIC is a BAD codec. And you need to stay away from iMovie...your tech was way wrong.

Importing footage from Camtasia into Premiere

I am trying to import video from camtasia studio into Premiere pro, and the footage is either extremely blurry, or does not fit the screen. I have tried to film at all kinds of different dimensions, set premiere sequence settings to all different dimensions, and nothing had worked. How do I import the footage to fit the screen and remain clear?

Decide what resolution you want to DELIVER as, and then try to configure Camtasia to record that same resolution, so that no scaling is involved. For instance, record as 1080p or 720p (1920x1080 or 1280x720 pixels). Then use a matching Sequence in Premiere. Last time I used an older version of Camtasia, it could record as an .avi or a special "CamRec" format. Use the .avi option.
What dimensions have you tried in Camtasia and Premiere? It would be very helpful if you can share your current workflow.
Thank you

Importing footage from JVC memory cards

needing to import footage shot form a JVC HD 750 into my FCP 6 system. The computer "sees" the data...but I get an eroor messgae when I try to Log and Transfer...Do I need to import a driver?

What format did you record in?
According the the JVC website for that camera
http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/features.jsp?model_id=MDL102066
the camera records in several different formats, including one that is directly importable into FCP without conversion ( if that is the case, go to the menu File > Import > Files . . ., navigate to the card and import the files).
It also records in XDcam, which will require downloading and installing Sony XDCam transfer, and also a couple of different SD file formats.
