Importing Gopro footage issues.

In the GoPro Studio software, I import all of my clips, convert them to AVI, and then stitch all of the clips together with their built in editing software. Then, I export the whole thing as a Cineform file for use in Premiere. However, when I go in to Premiere, it only imports the first clip in the edit, and none of the others. I can open the file in Windows Media Player, and the whole "movie" is there, but in Premiere, it is only the first clip. Any ideas?

1. FAQ: How do I choose the right sequence settings?
2. FAQ: What are the best export settings?

GoPro footage importing?

I am trying to import footage from a GoPro camera using Log & Transfer, but it's not working; I'm getting a message that says "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media." Earlier I had this issue with XDCAM EX footage but I was able to fix that by downloading a plug-in. Is there such a fix for the footage from a GoPro camera? What should I do to get this resolved?

I use Streamclip to convert my GoPro footage. I haven't tried Compressor, so I don't now how they compare as far as what's faster or gives better results. (But since Shane mentioned it I will try it next time.)

Importing GoPro 4 footage

I'm a bit confused about how to best use the GoPro 4 footage in FCP.
Looking online, I've found a lot of posts about converting, mostly selling video conversion software.
GoPro has GoPro Studio which seems to be the way to go, but it creates a Cineform codec clip, not ProRes,
from what I can figure. I want to edit in ProRes. It seems like there would be lots of information about this,
considering all the GoPro footage out there, but I'm having trouble finding definitive information.
Do I use Studio and then import the clips into FCP and let it convert those clips to optimized ProRes?

DId you try just importing directly into FCP X?
ACcording to gopro site the camera records in H264 with an mp4 container. This is a pretty standard thing. Note that I don't have one of thesd cameras, but like you said most of those sites are peddling "converters"...

Importing camera footage to ext HDD issue-

I have my internal drive partioned into three Drives which are all showing up (see images). My external FW drive is mounted in the Finder, and I can see it mounted if I do any Finder dialogue modal operation like import from file from within FCP X.
Problem is I can't see it in FCP X.app panels where it needs to be as an option for importing my footage from camera. I can't seem to create an Event on a drive that is not visible in the FCP X user interface.
I've seen screen cast of users with Ext drives showing in the Import from Camera window so how do I get FCP X to adopt my ext drive?

It's regular HFS+ drive since I have Time Machine backing up onto it (was going to format as EXFAT for cross platform use but didn't in the end cause I also want to use it for TM backups). Single partition (only).
Disk Ultiity says of it: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Can't import P2 Footage after 5.1.2 update

This one has me stumped. After updating to 5.1.2 I can not import P2 footage.
When I click on the import Panasonic P2 tab under the import menu, nothing happens. Then, I click on it one more time and the import window loads but there is nothing there (I see the dividing lines but there is no text or buttons to click...just a solid grey background).
Tried the usual...trashed prefs, rebuilt permissions, downloaded the full FCP update off of the apple website and re-installed.
Also pulled all my plug-ins out just in case it was somehow related to that issue.
Still nothing.
Also, searched this form, creative cow and HVXUSER...no one else seems to have this issue.
Any thing I am missing?

Dual 2 Gig G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Same problem here on two different G5 machines after installing 5.1.2. Love the new import tool - but 10-20% of our clips just won't import anymore. Done all the recommended clean-ups and like many others on this forum and CreativeCow...it just won't work on some 24PN clips.
Getting desperate as we have daily shows that go out and need to get the rest of those clips in so I'm looking for any workarounds at this point and hoping Apple has a fix soon. This is clearly related to 5.1.2 as the same clips were previously imported in 5.1.1 and are readable in the P2 viewer and even playable in the 5.1.2 P2 import window.

Need help importing HD footage from external hard drive

I have an external hard drive with some footage from a friend. I cannot view the footage either in QT or through importing to FCP. I have version 4.5 of FCP HD. The audio works on the clips, but the video does not. Im guessing it might be a format issue, as the footage is HD footage shot at 24P. I've tried opening a separate timeline and changing the settings there, but that didnt seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing that the footage is HDV, and FCP 4.5 cannot work with HDV. That format came out over a year after FCP 4.5 was released. FCP 4.5 was dubbed FCP HD because it worked with DVCPRO HD footage natively. HDV support didn't hit FCP until 5.0.
You have options. Because HDV came out when FCP 4.5 was in use and didn't work with it, a couple companies made solutions to import this footage. www.lumierehd.com and www.hdvxdv.com.
BUT...that will get you the HDV footage at 29.97...60i. HDV 24p support didn't arrive until FCP 5.1.2. So you can try those solutions and see what happens, but most likely you'll have to upgrade to the latest version of FCP...6.0.2

After Effects CC import "Sequence Footage" frame rate settings in "Import" preferences

Just started using the new AE CC (v12 as Adobe will not refer to it as) I noticed one thing that seems to work differently from CS6 and that is in the preferences for import Sequence footage settings. It doesn't seem to work normally, at least for me. I don't know if this is an issue related to how AE CC works with the cloud but the dfault frame rate for sequence footage importing is 30fps. I am trying to import footage that is natively 23.97 at 24 fps. So like in CS6 I go to Preferences - Import - Sequence Footage - frame per second and change it from 30 to 24 frames per second. Closed the software, opened it back up, checked the settings and saw that they took, it still says 24 frames per second like I told it. But when I import a piece of 23.976 footage, it comes in at 23.976 as opposed to the 24 fps I set it as. Same goes for 30 fps footage, it comes in at 30 fps and not 24. User error is always my first assumption, I'm not proud i just want it to work, am I doing something wrong or just confused? Thanks for any help. p.s. help is not someone responding with, "I don't know" or "I don't have AECC yet". I know somebody is going to!

Hi Tim,
WOW! Thanks for the super-fast reply! As soon as I posted this I realised I should have mentioned that I am importing DPX files. I do import quicktimes as well but know that the footage import does not apply to a single file, only a sequence of files. But I still wonder if I may be either doing something wrong or am just a little confused. I have been using After Effects since CS3 doing compositing for film and I always use DPX sequences. I did a bunch of comparing and back and forth with AE CS6 and AECC while trying to figure this out. I always set my preferences up when I upgrade before I start working and I always set them up the same. I have been using CS6 since last July and it still works the same. What I did is imported five or six different DPX sequences, some were rendered out as 24 fps, some at 30 and some at 23.976. Assuming AE looks at the metadata to decide how to auto interpret, AE CC opened them all at their native frame rates of the just mentioned 24, 30 and 23.976 respectively, even though I told it to import at 24fps in the preferences. I also imported the same files in AE CS6 and they all opened at 24 fps like always. I know I can change the frame rate in the "Interpret footage" option, that is what I have been doing today so that I can work with footage in 24fps but since I have it set in the preferences to import image sequences at 24fps, I am perplexed as to why it does not do so, so I do not have to interpret the footage to my preferred frame rate, as is the case in AE CS6 as well as it was in CS 5.5 and CS 3. Since I was lucky enough to have an Adobe employee chime in Tim, I would be curious to see what you may find if you recreated this scenario. Would it be possible for you or someone at Adobe to set the sequence footage import frame rate to 24 fps in the preferences then try to open a piece of footage that is natively 23.976 fps in both AE CS6 and AE CC? Like I said, I certainly beleive I may be doing something wrong but I would be very curious to see what you find on your side. I would not be suprised if it imported at 24 fps in AE CS6 and 23.976 fps in AE CC.

How do I import GoPro video into Final Cut Pro X?

I'm about to purchase Final Cut Pro X (10.1.4). Will I be able to import my GoPro files? Do I have to convert them to another file type? Has anybody imported GoPro video into their projects? I believe that GoPro Studio can convert the video files into GoPro Cineform files that you're supposed to be able to import into 3rd Party Applications such as Final Cut Pro X.
If you have any advice, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kiki

I just copy the Gopro MP4 files on to a hard drive then import the media into a FCPX library. I have had no issues with dealing with GOPRO videos, but I am running a Hero 2 and a hero 3+. I am no expert on it, I just do it.

How to import 1080i60 footage in FCE?

This is the continuation of a former question where I was wondering about the crappy results of exporting a sequence from FCE. Turns out that the problem occurs much earlier, during import.
So here it goes: I have a Sony CV550V camcorder recording in 1080i60 AVCHD. I use FCE Log and Transfer to import the footage. At this early stage ALREADY, I can see the fields offset with respect to one another in the Log and Transfer preview window. If I look at the footage by connecting my camcorder to my HD TV, I see no such artifact.
I looked at the FCE manual, tried all options of the Log and Transfer window (ZERO as far as I can see), but it does not seem that I have any choice on how FCE imports 1080i60 AVCHD footage. Am I doomed? I have heard from users of Sony Vegas software for instance, and they do not have such artifacts...
Thanks for your advice.

"Completely wrong" is a bit harsh, but indeed the whole issue is addressed in threadID=2497894 "How to export/convert FCE movies into AVCHD format?"

Debug Event when importing HDV footage

In short:
When I try to import HDV footage into a project (.mpeg format),
I receive the following message:
Premiere Pro Debug Event
premiere pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\src\time.cpp-105]
Subsequently premiere fails to import the files...
I first noticed this problem last week, so I thought it might
be related to a product update. But even when uninstalling Premiere
Pro and re-installing it (thus being version 3.0) the problem
still exists. Updating to 3.2 doesn't solve the issue either.
Does anyone recognize this issue?
regards,
Reinout van Schie

Perhaps
this?

Forum FAQ

AE is clipping a fraction of a second off my imported WMV footage, how can I stop this happening?

Hi all,
I've created a new composition using some WMV footage and I want to add a bit of adobe illustrator art on at the end like a closing title. I don't need to extend the length of the movie, the art can just lay over the top of the imported footage.
The problem I have is when I import the footage (File > Import > File...) I import the WMV file and once inside the composition After Effects trims a tiny bit off the end of the imported footage where there's a fade to white then it ends on a black screen. It wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't losing part of someone's sentence as it fades out.
Can anyone help me please?
For further info, I've set fps to 25 which is the same as the imported footage and I've tried importing it into longer compositions. Oh and also if it helps I'm working on a PC using After Effects 7 Professional.
I wonder if it might be something to do with the fade out in the imported footage???
Many thanks in advance for any responses.
KarlOSX

The issue is most likely with the source file. The last keyframe interval is not complete and thus AE makes wrong assumptions about the clip duration because it stops at the last full keyframe. This usuall happens, if you use VBR encoding in the WMV files and leave everything at the Automatic settings. If you plan on using WMV files for your work in Ae, you should export them differentlyx from whatever otehr app you use, that is with a fixed keyframe interval and a constant data rate. As Rick said, though, re-editing already compressed files is not the best way to work, so if you have full control over the source material, consider otehr file formats, CoDecs and so on...

Tagging is grayed out on GoPro footage

That's about the long and short of it. I transfered to gopro footage to my hard drive and imported it into prelude, but all the tagging features are diabled. Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm afraid you're not doing anything wrong, instead there seems to be a limitation where XMP is unable to be written with some MP4 codecs.
In the meantime try transcoding your GoPro material, perhaps to QuickTime, you can do this on the right side of the Ingest Dialog in the transfer options. If the built-in AME presets are insufficient you can create your own in AME and that new custom preset will appear in Prelude.

Error importing XDCAM Footage

Hi guys,
Were having a massive problem with CS6 here, we can no longer import XDCAM footage using the media browser directly from the deck, or from a copy of the disc on a harddrive.
The problem is occuring on mac and PC, We have 10 seats of premiere, it occurs on all of them.
All the suites are up to date, and we dont have any weird codec packs installed.
Im totally stuck on this, and its become a major issue as a lot of our clients bring in media on XDCAM and we dont have the time to transcode hours of footage when premiere is supposed to import it natively.

In CS5, I get an error for one file:
The rest of the files import like this in CS5...
all audio files are either flatline or noise, duration: 21:10
with one video file of bars duration: 21:09

I am interested in editing GoPro footage using Adobe Photoshop Premiere any have experience with that.

Wondering if this software is good for editing GoPro footage. Thanks

My GoPro workflow currently is:
- record with GoPro in Protune
- import GoPro MP4 into Premiere and edit
- convert GoPro MP4 to AVI using GoPro Studio (leaving same file name stored in sub-folder)
- 'offline' GoPro Premiere MP4 footage and 'relink' to AVI
- export media out of Premiere
Be careful with AVI files in Premiere as they crash my 2014.2 release 8.2.0(65) build. Solution I see to have AVI not crash Premiere is to turn off GPU Acceleration and use Software only.
After I re-link AVI files in Premiere, I leave my GPU Acceleration on and render out. I do not play the AVI with Premiere to avoid crashing. When I am re-linking the MP4 to the AVI, I am saving the project frequently due to Premiere crashing. I am exporting GoPro AVIs fine with GPU Acceleration on.
Premiere handles GoPro MP4 files fine. I could not tell you anything about Photoshop video editing if that is what you are asking.

How to import 60p footage

How can I import 60p footage that I have already shot not knowing that FCP X would import directly. I also have Imovie 11. If FCPX OR iMovie wont do it directly, any suggestions on Mac friendly program that would convert, I like free programs. Thanks for your help guys.

Well, use this Mac Video Converter (http://www.myhdsoft.com/top-rated-mac-hd-video-converter-os-x-lion-reviews/), supports any type HD videos like AVCHD, H.264 MTS, DSLR etc
