Importing HDV QT movie problem

I am using Adobe Image Ready to convert a stream of still images into HDV 1080i 50 quicktime movies lasting only a few seconds each. I then want to combine a whole sequence of these into iMovie HD to ceate a longer movie. The problem is that when I import the Quicktime movie the width is compressed giving a black band down the left side of the screen and a distorted image.
The original still images are 1920 x 1080 pixels. It looks correct in Image Ready, and the exported movie looks ok when viewed in Quicktime Pro which gives the movie size as 1920 x 1080. The project size in iMovie is set to HDV1080i. I can even import the original stills into iMovie and they are dislayed correctly. I know I could create the whole thing in iMovie but Image Ready gives me other tools I would prefer to have access to.
Any thoughts anyone?
thanks

Tony... I know they are trying to help you here... give you a fish or give you a fishing pole...
But based on the other post you had here and the amount of 'splainin' we (I) had to do...
It would be helpful to us if you read the manual and did the tutorials.
That said. I just drag the clip from my FINDER to the NODE window in shake. But that just answers your question and doesn't address the issues you will still have by not knowing what question to even ask.
Good luck,

  • Import audio from movie problem

    Every time I import audio from a movie in Logic X, there is a glitch at the beginning of the audio. I just switched from 9 and never had this problem before. Anyone else experiencing this? I think it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

    Its quite possible this problem is being caused by one of several audio file related issues in the current OS X 10.9.2  that apparently are fixed in 10.9.3
    You can find out for yourself by installing the Public beta seed of 10.9.3 found here....

  • Problems importing HDV tapes

    Hello everyone,
    First time I need to importe HDV tapes, frames recorded on HDV1080i 50i. I use a Sony HDV camera recoder, plug in with an firewire 800.
    I set everything as it must be, then when I open the listed and capture the preview is black and when I start to capture it's says something like "missing of datas from the device, check the connections".
    Do I need a special firewire cable for HDV images? Cause It works if I want to import some DVcam frames...
    Please Help!! Just rent the camera for few days for import tapes...

    Also, I have found that the WAY HDV is logged has a big effect as to how easily it can be captured - I used to constantly get the same warning you do. I started to mark my in and out points "on the fly" meaning the tape was rolling (NOT paused) while setting in and out points. Since doing it this way, I have yet to get that warning again. I imagine that it must have something to do with the GOP nature of HDV, but I'm not sure... I can use the same camera and cables to log and capture DV (paused) without an issue. As soon as I switch to HDV, the warning reared it's ugly head unless logged on the fly.

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

    HEy, I have been looking into this problem... i also wanted to play quicktime files using my pc... The last thing i tried was downloadiing these codecs
    1)apple pro res *for pc
    2)mpeg 2 codec for pc
    I have HDV files captured on a Mac G5 they are 30p 720,
    I think i am close to solving the problem because: before installing the codecs i couldn't see the video and only audio.. but now i open it and i can see the video partially... here are my screen captures....
    anyone interested in getting this solved???,... i would also like some help in importing m2t files from VLC player to HDV split where they can be read and edited. Thank you.
    Ultimately my goal is to be able to edit these HDV files directly and export them back out with good quality.. because my only editing choice right now is Windows movie maker.
    this is an error i got from the HDV split program. Its supposed to read m2t files..

  • Importing MPEG and MOV

    i have been trying to import MPEG and MOV files to iMovie 08 without any success.
    the movies i have already previously copied to my HD, or have been copied for me, so I am not copying them from any camera.
    The funny thing is ... when i look into my iPhoto library from iMovie he does recognise the videos i have copied directly from my digital photo camera, but i can't just copy any MPEG or MOV files from any other location, previously copied, to my iMovie library.
    Does anybody here have the same problem as me?

    Does anybody here have the same problem as me?
    Everyone will have this problem. It is the way iMovie '08 is currently programmed. The basic problem is that most users fail to realize that there are three distinct levels of support in QT based applications:
    1) Playback Support - This simply means a particular compresion format can be played in a QT application. E.g., MPEG2 video is not normally supported without the QT MPEG-2 component while MPEG1 and H.264/AAC files are both playback compatible as they are.
    2) Conversion Support - This means a file can be "properly" converted to another compression format. In this case, "muxed" formats like MPEG1 and MPEG2 (even with the QT MPEG2 component) cannot be converted to another compression format by QT applications and retain their audio content while H.264/AAC files can.
    3) Edit Support - This means that certain operations can be performed on the audio and/or video content at the frame level. QT applications can, for instance, segment the audio and video content of an H.264/AAC file at any frame but since "muxed" files like MPEG1 and MPEG2 files consist of "blocks" of audio data interspersed with "blocks" of video data in a single stream, segmenting a file at any point other than one where a "group" of such "blocks" ends/begins would mean the loss of many "frames worth" of either audio or video data. AVI has a similar problem. Since the "instances" of audio and video data mesh like the cogs of two wheels, segmenting an AVI always leaves a 1 frame deficit between the number audio frames and the number of video frames. (Ever wonder why you end up with that one "white" frame at the end of youe file?)
    Now we come to the various types of QT based applications. Many, like iPhoto and iTunes don't really look at the files when they import them, so they are more than happy to import anything they can read and recognize. If a file can be played in the QT player, it can be played in both iPhoto and iTunes. On the other hand, some applications are a bit "picky" about what they will export. iTunes, for instance, will not export/sync a file it has imported if the target device cannot play it. iMovie '06 is also different, in that it will import anything it can convert even if it can't convert it properly -- i.e., an MPEG1 file will be converted to DV video but lose any audio that may have been contained in the file. iMovie '08 takes things to a new level. Since imported files are simply moved/copied to "Events" folders in their original compression format, iMovie '08 first checks to see if the files contain both audio and video data that can be edited at the frame level. If both cannot be edited at the frame level, then iMovie '08 will not allow you to import it. Camcorder devices, however, are handled differently. Since most content on tapeless models are not stored in a QT edit supported format, these files, as well as HDV, are converted to an intermediate codec (which can be edited) as part of the import process.
    As to digital cameras, many manufacturers store their video clips in generic file containers. Just because a Kodak digital camera stores its data in an MOV file container, it does not mean bothe audio and video compressions formats can be edited in iMovie '08. Many Kodak models, for instance, store their video clips as MPEG4/µ-Law 2:1 files. Unfortunately, while the iMovie will accept the MPEG4 video, it doesn't like the µ-Law compressed audio. Same holds true for many Casio digital cameras which use Motion JPEG/DVI ADPCM comressed formats. Once again, iMovie has no problem with the Motion JPEG video content but refuses to accept the DVI ADPCM audio. Luckily, users have two options here. They can either convert both the audio and video to an iMovie '08 edit compatible compression format or simply convert the audio content and "re-merge" it with the original video for maximum quality. And, of course, MPEG1/2 "muxed" files or M2V files with unsupported audio compression formats must be converted for the reasons already mentioned above.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when importing HDV Video

    For some reason I keep getting crashes when importing HDV (720p60) video into the timeline of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  This has happened on two different machines, with similar specs.
    Per the suggested guidelines, here are the specifics:
    Version of Premiere Pro: CS6, Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC:264587))
    All updates have been installed.
    Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.5.
    Source footage: HDV 720p60 video in .MOV container.

  • Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

    Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
    I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
    One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
    No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
    That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
    Here’s where I’m at now
    The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV.  With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
    I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
    Example - In  FCP  Audio /Video Settings
    Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
    Capture Preset    - HDV
    Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
    Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
    With the setting above and Sony’s  ilink off- window alert reads…
    “Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
    With the iLink on - I get the same window alert.  Unless I capture in NTSC
    For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
    Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.
    Gary Boland
    FCP 6.0.6
    Mac G5
    Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

    Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum.  You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall.  I think we have the same menu system.  I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format.  Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall.  I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def.  Best wishes.

  • Importing HDV files (.m2t) no audio in timeline (or sound gaps in audio file) ONLY IN CS6 !

    After importing HDV files, wait for conforming, and drop the files to sequence, on some files there is no audio at all or partial audio.
    All files played OK in any mediaplayer.
    I have no such problems in CS5 or 5.5 using the same files in the same project and sequence type. HDV 1080i/25 
    I reinstall PR CS6 and I delete all ".cfa" and ".pek" files, but no success.

    All right so what I just discover so far in order to resolve this non sense bug thing, I've exported the faulted sequence in EDL, track by track.
    On the original sequence, I had a Prores 422 video clip name "Clip 497" that was manually sync with an audio file call "Audio 10".
    At another timecode in the original timeline, I had a h264 clip name "MVI_0050" that was synced with an audio file call "Tascam_0455".
    I said that when I select only an audio file in the timeline and I make reveal in the project, it links me to the correct audio file in the bin but when I make match frame or reveal in the finder, it links the audio to a video file. The
    Well the EDL just confirmed that, in the timeline created by the EDL, I have to relink manually all the files (wich is a pain in...) and my mysterious audio file "Audio 10" appears with the name "MVI_0050", I can still link it to the original "Audio 10" but I don't understand HOW an audio get to be linked to a video file......
    The audio file coming from the Tascam still have their original names in the timeline.
    Very weird and not very cool.
    Oh  and guess what, after closing Premiere and re open it, my sequence coming from the EDL where I spent 1 hours to manually relink the media....does not have sound anymore.......................

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Import fails for movies on Intel Macbook

    Importing with iPhoto on my MacBook fails on the first movie it encounters every time.
    The movies are 30 second AVI files from a Canon Ixus v3 connected via USB. The import will show no progress for about 5 minutes and then apparently time out. It returns to the iPhoto library and neither the movie nor subsequent content are there.
    The same combination of camera, cable, photos & movies works perfectly on other computers, a 17" 1GHz Powerbook and and a 17" 1GHz iMac.
    The same CF Flash card, photos & movies work fine on the MacBook using a CF-USB card reader.
    Using Image Capture on the MacBook instead iPhoto worked once but every other time it has behaved just like iPhoto. It times out and fails to import that first movie or any subsequent content.
    I created a new user on the MacBook and tried importing with iPhoto in there and the same failure occured.
    I reset the PRAM and tried again to no avail.
    I worked through all this with the AppleCare phone support with no success. The support person consulted senior technicians for a couple of minutes and came back to me with their opinion - that it is probably an incompatibility betwen iPhoto, the Intel Mac and the Canon Ixus v3 ie. the specific combination of those three things.
    They suggest that it's not a USB issue because iPhoto imports perfectly using the CF-USB card reader. They believe it's not an iPhoto software installation issue for the same reason. It's not a preferences issue because it also failed with a new user and the PRAM reset didn't help.
    They apologized for not finding a solution for me and could only offer the workaround of using the CF card reader. That's not such a bad work around but I'd still like to persist if anyone can suggest any further troubleshooting or possible solutions. I'd also like to see "me too" posts from anyone who has had the same issue.

    I have had a similar problem, where maye 8 out of 10 AVI format moves will download into iPhoto, but the rest simply never get there. I did get 107 out of 109 files OK but have seen worse. I can tell you about which camera it is, how I connect and so on, but first, this:
    A small sidebar in the Bugs & Fixes column of the April, 2007 Macworld magazine (see page 89) mentions that: "the likely cause is a problematic third-party QuickTime Plug-in." and advises the reader to check for and remove plug-ins not installed by OSX.
    I took the same camera and imported all 109 pics from my camera on a separate account of the same machine (20" i-mac but I don't think this is relevant) and got all 109 f 109 files just fine.
    So, I think "problematic third party QT plug-ins may be a good call. Need to investigate this some more, but its a flaky problem and Macs are supposed to "just plain work".

  • How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

    Has anyone figure this out?
    I started getting this after installing GoPro Studio 2.
    Uninstalling it and even deleting the plugins manually didn't work, and neither did reinstalling AE.

  • 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?

  • Can't import XDCAM files(.mov) in Premiere for Windows

    Hello.
    I have some problem using XDCAM file in Premiere Pro.
    Actually I captured the XDCAM file(.mov) from MovieRecorder, which is the ingest software for Mac..(http://www.softron.tv/products/movierecorder.html)
    The XDCAM file is opened in Premiere Pro for Mac.
    And  I can play the file in QuickTime player for Win but I can't import the file in Premiere for Windows.
    How can I import the XDCAM(.mov) recorded from Mac in Premiere Pro for Windows?
    Do I have to install any codec or program?
    Please let me know any advice.
    Best regards,

    They have a website with support and a forum.  https://www.videocopilot.net/products/action2/
    Looks like cool stuff.
    They list compatability with Premier Elements.  Perhaps if you post a request there, you will find someone that has been down the road before you with the combination of the two products.   They may also need to know if an adjustment is necessary for PrE11.
    Good luck!
