Importing clips and rotating video

Please help:
I am unable to import clips into my iMovie 6. I've used Photoshop and Graphic Converter to convert pics to JPEG(jpg). When they are imported they show up as nothing but a white blank with the titles below. Any suggestions? Should I use a different format or simply re-name the clip?
Additionally, I do not know how to rotate a video clip that was imported into iMovie to a correct orientation. What process do I follow to rotate the video clip clockwise or counterclock wise?
This is most frustrating and any help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Well, it's easy. DVCAM, DVCPRO, mini dv video is on tape at NTSC 29.97 fps, no variances. So, your 35 mm film was telecined, a pulldown was added. Did you contact your lab about the telecine procedure?
There is no regular 24fps mode on the DVX. There is 24p and 24pa and these refer to progressive video shot at 23.976 fps with different pulldown cadences added to bring the video to NTSC 29.97 fps.
You need to select which timebase you want to edit in and then either leave the pulldown intact or process the video in Cinema tools to strip it.
There's a ton of info on this board about this issue as well as in the manual and on the web. Here's a good start http://www.adamwilt.com/24p/index.html

I want to use the audio from one of my clips and the video of another can I do this?

I have two different video clips that I took from my still camera. I want to use the audio from one of the clips and the video from the other at the same time in imovie can I do this and if yes how

Yes.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now, drag the clip with the Video into the project.
Drag the clip with the Audio and drop it on the first clip at the frame where you want it to begin. A popup menu should appear. Choose Audio Only. You may then want to open Inspector for the video clip (by clicking the little gear icon at the top left of the clip) and going to the audio tab. Here you can turn down the volume of the video clip, so that all you hear is the audio clip.
Another way. Put the video clip that has the Audio you want in first. Then drag the clip with the video you want and drop it on the clip that has the audio you want. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

Solutions to importing VHS and Hi8 video to iMovie6?

I would like to import into my G4 tower with OS10.5 my old VHS and Hi8 videos for editing in iMovie 06. I've tried creating a DVD first but iMovie doesn't recognize it from the internal DVD player or as a file. I tried shareware Rippers but not able to import the results into iMovie.
I've looked at the PYRO Analog/DV Mac Video Capture - In & Out device at $210. This looks like it may be the only thing that works. It converts any signal to DV and then connects via Firewire to the computer. Thus I assume is readable by iMovie and may even create clips at the appropriate places.
What solutions have you found that work? Ease of use is nice but not essential. Modest price would also be nice but what do I have to do to make this work. I anticipate having additional Hi8 tapes in the future to edit then make into DVDs as well as what I have now. All help appreciated. Thanks, Ken

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version). When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working. And then the program crashes. Please help.
My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

Hi Catherine,
Welcome to the Adobe forums.
Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.
Regards,
Vinay

Best use of import settings and DSLR video workflow

I now use a Canon 7D for most of my video, which does 1080p.
I used to move my video clips into iMovie, thinking I could use it as a master repository like Aperture. Alas, it iMovie 09 crashed repeatedly and I have lost many of those clips when I marked portions as rejected, and applied the rejections (thus deleting the clips).
I now archive all my RAW video, but I'm wondering what many of you do when importing DSLR-based video.
Do most of you who capture at 1080p import as Large, or as Full? What are your plans for exporting? Large, 720p, 1080p?
I know this is highly dependent upon final output, and that the difference between Large and 1080p is at least 5x the size.
How are you managing your space, while trying to archive your video?
I've grown accustomed to Aperture, where I have one RAW file, and possibly one TIFF file for effects. In iMovie, I have the RAW, the event, the "shared" version for each "size" I share, then a copy in iTunes, and of course, copies on destination devices.

This is a tapeless workflow for Final Cut but I think the same applies.
http://library.creativecow.net/rossshane/tapeless-workflowfcp-7/1
You want to first, outside of iMovie, pull your footage natively at the highest resolution possible then import it into your editor of choice.
Space should not be an issue now that 2TB drives are like $100 dollars I have a media drive, a render drive, a backup drive and the OSX boot drive.

Imported audiobook and iPhone videos not showing in main library.

Today I imported an Audible book I had downloaded by dragging the files onto the "Library" section of iTunes. The progress bar showed that the files were being imported and the book shows up in a smart playlist in the "Playlist" section but not in the "Books" category of the library. I have checked and the files are exactly where they are supposed to be on my hard drive with this author's other books. A similar thing happened when I imported videos from my iPhone. I had downloaded them from my phone onto my desktop and then dragged them onto the library where the progress bar showed they were imported. They are not in the "Movies" library but when I went to sync them onto my iPad2 they show under the "Movies" tab of the iPad and were successfully synchronized onto my iPad2. I tried quiting iTunes and restarting it but this did not cause them to show up. I then restart the whole computer but still no go.
Any suggestions? I am running iTunes 10.6 (40) on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running OSX 10.7.3.
Thanks,
Clayton

Properly tag them in itunes before transferring them over.

After some updates, Aperture stops recognizing previously imported files, and rewrites video metadata dates. How do I keep the from occurring?

I have been using Aperture since version 1 (to now, 3.x.x), and after some updates Aperture fails to recognize the files previously imported. I have checked the selection box that says "Do not import duplicates" every time I import. I have pics and videos dating back to 2001 in the Aperture dB. Videos were imported once Ap started to support it. (Well, the initial support was really bad...) Anyway, those earlier video files all have the same date - now - thanks to Aperture changing the dates to 3/24/00. The funny thing is, Aperture will not let me manually correct the dates. To me, it seems that after every major update, the dB gets "reset" and forgets files already imported. I'm not saying pics/vids imported in the last month, but say six months to five years or more. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I do not think this matters, hoever, my Ap is set up with referenced original on an external drive.
Thank you!

WOW!
I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

Importing avis and other videos to Itunes library

I have just changed from a pc to a mac. I had no problems with itunes in the pc but now, if I want itunes to add a video file to my library from the hard drive it insists on automatically importing any new video file and does not give me the chance to choose an individual file.
when I setup itunes on this mac I told it not to automatically look for any new music file etc. and import it but it ignores this. What can I do?

Welcome to mac and the user forum.
With iTunes open under file on the menu bar select *add to library* and navigate to the desired file.
Or, drop the icon of the desired fine on the icon of iTunes located on the dock.

Computer shuts down when importing CDs and playing video

When in iTunes, my computer completely shuts off a couple mintues in when trying to import a CD or play video. I have asked around and reinstalled and nothing seems to help. Any ideas! Very frustrating.

I just started having the same problem. I was able to import songs from 5 cds with no problem, but when I tried a few more my mac started shutting down about halfway through the import of the song. It doesn't matter how many songs I choose to import, it happens on the first one everytime. Did you find a fix for this?

Importing 35mm and 24fps video

I have two projects starting now, I want to make sure I'm using the best import/timeline options.
One was shot on 35mm, transferred to DVCAM and then to MiniDV. I'm importing off of the MiniDV from a Panasonic DVX100B.
The other was shot on the 100B in regular 24fps mode.
I searched the forum pages but didn't find answers to these specific questions, especially regarding the 35 footage. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, it's easy. DVCAM, DVCPRO, mini dv video is on tape at NTSC 29.97 fps, no variances. So, your 35 mm film was telecined, a pulldown was added. Did you contact your lab about the telecine procedure?

Just imported clips and edited as new project. closed imovie. came back later and the entire project was gone. i was not done so i did not finalize it. how do i get the program to keep my project in progress

running imovie on a powermac w 10.6.8. went through the tutorials. imported my clips, got the hang of basic editing, and created a project.
was pretty happy with it, but needed to shut down and come back to work on it later. when i did come back, the entire project was gone.
how do i get the program to save my work in progress, without finalizing it?
thanks

So, everything worked out just fine!
I have all my material in the ProRes Codec on a seperate drive now. The project itself was kept or rather duplicated, the bin structure etc stayed the same but is linking to the newly created files. The playback and workflow is fluent. I am happy!
Time info: For about 120 GB of material the codec change process took 25 hours.
Thanks for your help!

I can't import .mov and .mp4 videos into Lightroom 5? Why?

I'm not able to import videos (iPhone) into Lightroom 5. I've tried .mov and .mp4. Is there a cause/fix for this?

BradRW wrote:

I've no idea the cause, nor a proper fix.
But here is a possible interim solution:
'Import Any Videos' script (free, by me):
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
It just re-encodes (or re-wraps) the video into a format that Lr likes, which you can do without the script if you have the tools and the know-how..

What is the most plain xml format to import clips and sequence into Premiere ?

I want to create xml includes sequence and clips to import Premeire.
In this case, I have a reference xml that is exported from premiere for finalcut pro. But this finalcut pro export format looks so complicated because has alot of property that is belong to premiere pro. I tested by deleting some of them from xml and imported again, didn't effected anything.
Here is the question, How can I create an xml which requires minimum property details for premiere sequence and clips ? Is there any reference better than FinalCut Pro export xml format ?

Bruce from adobe replied that FCP Format is the best to import Premiere.
So I read FCP Format Documentation from http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=97%26section=3 %26tasks=true

How to import photos and videos from Android device?

Hello
I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 recently and I'm trying to import photos and videos from my phone, Samsung Galaxy SIII, but having a little trouble.
When I go to "Import from Camera or Card Reader" option and choose my phone from the "Get photos from" drop down menu in "Source" section the "Photo downloader" finds
every single photo and/or video stored on the device and it's memory card but I'm trying to import only photos and/or videos I've shot my self with the phone, witch is kept
in an folder named DCIM, but I simply can't figure out how to so my question is:
How do I import photos and/or videos from my Android device?

Try clicking Advanced button (bottom left) in the downloader dialog. You should then be able to select and deselect thumbnails and import only the ones you give the checkmark.

Premiere elements 13 sound of import clip gone after importing?

The sound of the clips I load into premiere elements (13) is all of a sudden gone. For all the clips I uploaded earlier I had no problem. Is there maybe a setting I changed without knowing?

Camilio
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What are the properties of these clips that you are importing - what is the difference between the earlier imported clips and these latest one?
Same camera, same settings, same everything?
Do you have the problem if you start a new project?
Let us start here. More questions later depending on your reply.
Thank you.
