Importing from camera, auto-stack doesn't work

Hi all,
I've been using aperture for a while now. According to the manual Aperture should be able to do an auto-stack to the imported pictures and I can see the interval seconds slider on the import page. My camera is Canon 5d and I'm importing raw pictures.
My problem is that if I touch the slider, it creates one huge stack of all the images on the camera memory card. So if it does an autostack, it treats all images as if they'd been shot at the exact same second. This is illustrated also if I tell aperture to sort the not yet imported pictures according to shooting time. They just appear in a random order after that.
When the pictures have been imported, there is a correct shooting time/date in the EXIF information of the pictures. I'm not even sure if this is an aperture problem or a camera setting problem. When I look at the pictures on the camera screen, I can see the correct shooting time even in there.
Any ideas?

Not sure if this would make a difference, but are you importing the photos directly from the camera or are you using a card reader with your memory card?

  • Auto-stack doesn't work

    I am new to Aperture and am exploring all of it's features. Unfortunately I cannot get auto-stack to work. I have a project with 900 pictures. When I slide the auto-stack slider to the right, I get a spinning ball. After a minute it looks like the images have been stacked. When I close the auto-stack HUD, all the stacking disappears again. Am I doing something wrong here? I do not think it has to to wit my MBP. It has to be fast enough.

    Not sure if this would make a difference, but are you importing the photos directly from the camera or are you using a card reader with your memory card?

  • In aperture 3 and Iphoto '09, import from show iphoto browser doesn't work

    when I choose  Import/Show Iphoto Browser, I get the browser blank, with the sentence "no items to show". What to do?

    so I deleted the iPhoto library (under projects & albums) from within Aperture and this removed all the photos that I just imported. I'm bit confused because if I imported them into Aperture then why would they still be linked to an iPhoto library.
    When you imported them they are put in a Folder called iPhoto Library. You can drag them out of that. But because you deleted the Folder, they were deleted too.

    Erickestrada I am sorry but the only availability within Honduras is Creative Cloud for Teams through your local Adobe Reseller.  You can find a list of countries which the Adobe Creative Cloud is available in at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/creativecloud/cc/pdfs/cc-availability-m atrix.pdf.  I would also recommend reviewing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions which discusses this and other questions.

  • Hang during import from camera or media - HELP!

    iPhoto hangs during import from camera or media reader. Works for 20 or more photos, then hangs. No response at all. Must force quit. After restarting the import, it will go further the next time, then hang again. And again. And again. Eventually the import completes. After that, all is OK until next import. VERY FRUSTRATING. Especially with 8GB media cards. ARRGH!
    I've tried rebuilding iPhoto library (all options). Using iPhoto 7.1.5 on OS X 10.5.6. 4GB ram, intel dual core.
    Help me Obe-Wan. You're my only hope.

    Once you get your photos use your camera to reformat your media card - problems like this can be caused by a flaw in the card format
    And it is better to use a card reader to import yoru photos and after they are safely in iPhoto use your camera to reformat your card - this assues no data loss and keeps your card format fresh

    I usually use the media reader. After the imports started hanging is when I tried importing direct from the camera to see if it made a difference. No difference.
    I've reformatted the media. No difference. Still hangs on first import after reformat. Multiple media cards, all same result. Tried different USB ports, same result. Tried different media readers. Same result.

  • Imovie 11 crashes when i choose 'import from camera'.

    suddenly, imovie 11 9.0.4 crashes when i choose 'import from camera'. never happened before, always worked fine. driving me crazy! can anyone help? i tried to delete the plists, did disk permissions, etc etc. am running 10.6.8, haven't changed anything except to delete a bunch of old projects.
    can i just reinstall imovie from the install disk?
    thank you!

    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    Also look for crash Logs>iMovie.

  • Originals auto modified on import from camera

    I discovered that iPhoto has modified a lot of my pictures when importing from camera. Not only vertical photos (bacause of auto rotate I believe) but also landscape. Mostly photos with high contrast or too dark/too light photos are modified and enhanced. This makes me angry! I usually export photos to modify in PS and this way I do not work with the original! I suppose the modified version is not lossless.
    I can't find out how to turn off this auto modifying.
    Any suggestions?

    hansik:
    Are you aware that you can have iPhoto use PS as the default editor? The edited version is saved in the Modified folder and the originals never get touched. The only caveat is that you do not change the extension or file name. If you need to do either then you do a Save As to the desktop and then import as a new file.
    Are you concerned about the thumbnail size increase due to HD space issues? There is a way to have your source files on an external HD and only have aliases, thumbnails and the modified files on your PB. My 27G (15,600+ files) of image files on my second HD are represented by a 1.75 G iPhoto library on my boot drive. When the external drive is not connected the library is still operational on a limited basis: you can view thumbnails, create, delete and move album folders, add comments and, with some hassle but doable, add keywords. You can't edit, work with books, slideshow, etc. or anything that requires moving thumbnails. Once the HD is remounted the library is fully functional again. Great for laptops with limited space.

  • "Import from camera" doen't work

    I want to import movies from mi iPhone 4S and the "import from camera" option doesn't work. When I click de button (or pressing cmd+I, or going to archive > import from camera) the arrow turns to the colored beach ball of death and the aplication doesn't response.
    Any solution? If I import videos from archives there's any problem, but I want to import videos from my iPhone 4S

    Yes, I tried with iMovie 11 and it works perfectly, I can import videos from my iPhone 4S without any problem. But with Final Cut Pro X I got this problem
    I don't know what to do, I tried to repair permissions, erase the events folder... And nothing, the problem stills there
    I can use iMovie and then import from Final Cut, but it's a double work. I want to use this option in Final Cut

    ps
    i got a backup for the files but even if they are on the mmc, when camera is connected fcpx doesn't see them. if i try to import a new shoot it works!!

    Thx a lot Salty. As you suggest I found other staff on support pages. I deleted AVCHD structure and kept only .mts... Now what I need to do is to convert those files with handbrake or similar tool in .mp4 or .mov to make them digest to FCPX.

  • Import from camera

    Any idea how to import from a camera these days? In Aperture it found the camera automatically and you could select photos and import.
    With Photos it seems that if I go to File > Import I can find my camera shown as an external drive but I can't then choose a sub folder so I can't seem to import any photos that way.
    The way I'm doing it at the moment is through Finder - dragging and dropping onto the desktop and then importing that way.

    Importing from cameras should work just as it did in iPhoto. As LarryHN points out, if it doesn't, let us know exactly what is occurring.
    IF you have not yet done so, enable Sidebar (from the View menu). This will list the connected camera under the Devices group. When you select your camera, confirm that the Open Photos... option is checked.

  • Import from camera (Canon XHA1) in FCPX

    When I try to import footage from tape on a Canon XHA1 connected with firewire, it doesn't work, only the webcam appears as an option.
    (I already changed the PLAYBACK STD to HDV andHD DOWN-CONV to OFF)
    What to do?

    why don't you select just the portions you need in FCPX import dialog? Imports from cam (or cam archives) allow the usual skimming, in/out and the new multiple in/out selections …-
    ad 1)
    I wouldn't use iM's imports at all in FCPX, see following …
    ad 2)
    yes, there is a loss; iMovie converts to AppleIntermediate, which is versatile but not as good as FCPX' prores.

  • Importing from camera - Automatic vs. Manual

    I'm importing DV tapes using my Sony DV camera and my imac into iMovie - things are working fine except when my 1 hour tapes finish the import there are sections of the imported video that are fine and other sections that are imported as separate frames. Then it will pick back up again.
    I thought this was an issue with time code breaks on the tape but I've read that iMovie doesn't recognize time codes so I'm planning to try the Manual option that the Import from Camera feature offers but until then I thought I would post on here to see if anyone is familiar with this issue -
    I can explain further if needed. I'll check back to see responses in about an hour.

    Ok, I'm currently importing an hour DV tape from my Sony came to iMovie on my mac. I'll see how it turns out -
    I went back and erased the other video files from the my movies folder that I had previously imported because it was taking up alot of space and iMovie was running slow and I noticed in there that it had saved all of these thumb nails in addition to little short clips, and it saved all of the import as hundreds of .mov clips -
    so something crazy was definitely going on with the automatic import that i did first.
    as I'm watching it import, there are definitely imperfections on the tape as it's from a few years ago and was in some heat from being on vacation when I was taking the video, but the way it imported before couldn't have had anything to do with the imperfections on the tape - or at least there should be some setting where it basically just takes in the video exactly how it plays out on the VCR function on the camera or as it would if you hooked the camera up to your TV and played the DV tape out -
    I'm not sure I understand totally what dropped frames are all about, but if iMovie doesn't detect or record or take in time codes then I wouldn't think it would pick up on dropped frames.
    maybe I'm wrong

  • Import from Camera Screen - cut off

    Folks,
    I am trying tom import from my Sony DCR-DVD201 camcorder. I can import fine, but the "Import from Camera screen" is cutoff and black for the first 3/4 of the screen -- I can see only the very bottom edges of the video clips.
    I can still import, but is there a fix/setting for this issue?

    i have this bug too. resizing the window, and then hitting play will show the whole window. i have a Panasonic HDC-SD7. it works, but a very annoying.

  • Photostream from PC to Ipad doesn't work

    Hello, I have installed ICloud on my Ipad en on my Windows 8 laptop. Photostream from Ipad to laptop is ok but from laptop to Ipad doesn't work.
    I have contacted Apple support but the couldn't figure it out, I tried everything: disable firewall in router and laptop, also disabeld Defender, installed a new
    ICloud, installed new OS on the Ipad, all the photo's are in the upload folder, the battery of the Ipad is 100% filled, the Wifi works ok. etc.etc. I suppose that
    there must be a wrong configuration somewhere, perhaps the Wifi must be in BootP on the Ipad or I have to enable a kind of service in the laptop or perhaps
    it is just a stupidity from me? Who has an idea?
    Thnx RJZ

    Looks like they changed how this works in iCloud Control Panel 2.0
    "On a PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later, open a Windows Explorer window. Select Photo Stream under Favorites. Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select photos to import to My Photo Stream, and then click Open."
