Importing and Editing .MOV Files

Hello,
I would like to know if After Effects can edit .MOV files or should these type files be converted to another format? I imported a .mov file to After Effects and although I can view the movie in the composition window. I don't see any other information that would allow me to edit the video. No layer info.
Can someone fill me in on why this is happining?
Thank You
Tontyp

Hi,
Thank you all for your advice and help. I only wanted to change some text in a video template that was created with the Adobe After Effects program. As you said it is proving to be more trouble than it is worth. I will go back to the drawing board so to speak and start from the begining Mean while I will just create a new video with another software. I do thank you very much for your input as it may have saved me hours of wasted time.
Thanks Again,
Tontyp

Yes, as long as you save them in .doc format.

Importing and Editing AAC files

I am using Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 and have imported a 5.1 channel .aac file. I am, however, unable to edit that file in STP. I can see all 5 channels but they are all greyed out, meaning I cannot individually do anything with those tracks. When I copy and paste them in a new file, I get all five channels in one channel (five separate sound files but all on one track).
Can anyone please help me how to edit each track separately?

OKay I attempted to open the .aac file by choosing 'All Files' option and first I encountered this Error Message:
Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks. Please use 'Fix Timecode Breaks' to fix this stream.
I chose 'Fix Now'
Afterwards it appeared the file was open in MPEGStreamclip though I still got the empty screen with five blue dots in the middle.
I then tried to 'Export Audio'
and chose AIFF as Format
However I got a second Error Message saying
Error: can't prepare the movie
One more thing, I want to be able to import all Five Channel and edit them individually and while trying to export audio in MPEGStreamclip I noticed that it was exporting file as two channel stereo file only.
Any suggestions on how I can do this?

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
Thanks!
Horsepower0171.

Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
Thus my question is the same:
-What software can do that?
-Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
-For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
There are numerous converters online to convert the .VRO files into .VOB or MP4 or other which should be supported by Premiere Elements.
Maybe explore the free MPEG Streamclip for the conversion
Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Mac and Windows
Let us start here and then we will decide what next based on your reply.

Importing and editing dvc pro 50 in i movie HD 6

I am sure that I'm trying to do something impossible, but I have .avi files encoded in MPEG-4 format from a quantel non-linear machine that I would like to import and edit in iMovie HD 6. The camera is a pana AJ-SPX800 ingested to quantel. The files indicate they are being imported but when I run the player or clip there neither audio or video. Thanks

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
You'd probably need to convert the files (..yes, iMovie HD 6 handles MPEG-4 [H.264 and Apple Intermediate HD codecs] ..but not necessarily all MPEG-4 codecs!..) into .dv format first.
iMovie often doesn't play audio encased in an .avi file, even though QuickTime does!
So iMovie probably can't get a grip on the video (unsupported codec), and can't disentangle the audio either. So once it's imported the files, it can't work out what to do with them.
Try MPEG Streamclip for converting the files to .DV before importing into iMovie.

Importing and editing footage with two different cameras

I am editing a film that has footage caught and imported from two different cameras. Some of the footage is from a handheld HD camera that I have worked with before and use an "Easy Setup of Apple Intermediate Codec, 29.97 fps, HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60." I want to add some video footage that I shot with my Canon Rebel t2i. I searched a number of threads and concluded that when working with a project shot with the t2i, I should have the the Easy Setup be "HD, 29.97fps, DVCPRO HD 1080p30" (side question: is this correct?). My question is when starting a project where I will be using footage from both cameras, what Easy Setup should I use and is there anything else I should keep in mind?

Shane-- Thanks for the willingness to help. I am in Helena, but travel all over the state for work--I am a fly fishing and bird hunting guide who likes to do some amateur filming and editing on the side. Love Missoula, Bozeman, Flathead area, etc! And since you are willing to be so helpful, I guess I should start with a go Cats!
I am brand new to FCP, having previously worked a fair amount with FCE4. I actually do have FCP 7 and work with it on my Macbook Pro. My handheld camera is a JVC Everio that captures in AVCHD (1920x1080). I had my Easy Setup in FCE4 as Apple Intermediate Codec. If I use footage from this camera in FCP7, should I continue to do this?
So not only am I new to FCP7, but I just bought the T2i and really am not totally sure what I am doing yet. I just got the Canon EOS Movie Plug-in and modified it according to some threads I read so that it works for the T2i. I also found directions on the Canon website on the proper way to Log and Transfer for T2i footage (side question: can I dump the files off my T2i onto an external HD and then Log and Transfer them into FCP7 from the external, and is there anything I need to know about when doing this?)
So now that you know that I am very knew to FCP7 and the T2i, maybe I should start from scratch. When I log and transfer, what format should I use when I transcode? ProRes 442? And then, however you suggest I should transcode, what should my Easy Setup look like for footage from the T2i?
Wow, if you are still reading at this point, and I haven't exhausted you with all of my questions and naivety, my final question is...once I have become comfortable with importing and editing footage from the T2i, what should I do if I want to log and transfer and then edit footage from both cameras? Do I need to change the Easy Setup? Do I need to make other changes?
Thanks again in advance for all of your help and patience!!!

How do i edit move file in pre elements

I shot in a canon 60d the footage is not supported in pre elements ,how do i edit move file in pre elements

issac
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
When you write "move" file, do you mean "movie" file?
Do you have QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements? If not, please do so.
Generalizing because you did not give all the details, I would say that the Canon 60D AVCHD.mov file should be supported by
Premiere Elements as long as you have QuickTime installed on the same computer with Premiere Elements.
Please review and consider and supply more details.
We will be watching for the details.
Thank you.

Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

Hi,
Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad? Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
Thanks.

Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
Click once on that & type your title.
This works for any item, video or photo.

IPhoto is quitting unexpectedly and losing the photos I just imported and edited.

iPhoto is quitting unexpectedly and losing the photos I just imported and edited. Any suggestions to fix it?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Imovie wont import an mp4 movie file

Can't figure out why my imovie won't import an mp4 movie file. It's done it before. The font for the file I want to import appears in faded letters and won't highlight to be selected. ????? Any suggestions?

.mp4 is just a media-container, or wrapper.
it doesn't tell us nor iMovie what's inside.
open the .mp4 with the Quicktime Player, hit ctrl-i .. tell us about 'Codec'

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

Importing and editing DVDs

I've been taping athletic games off my television with a DVD recorder. I end up with DVDs of the games- but I would like to be able to edit them and burn them into a "Highlight" DVD for my son, Anyone got any idea what I need to do this--or IF I can do this??
