Importing I-Phone Video

Has anyone tried hooking up their new Video 3 Gs I-Phone and seeing if I-Movie 09 sees it and downloads video from the phone?
My 08 Version doesn't, along with Final Cut Express...which also doesn't see it.
I'd like to bring video directly into I Movie from the phone and not have to convert it thru I Photo and Quicktime first...which looks like it creates a very noticable quality loss from what I 've seen.

You need to transcode it for FCP 7.
BTW, this is the FCP X forum. You wil get more complete answers at the FC Studio forum.
Good luck.

Importing Cell Phone Video Footage

I am doing a test of importing a short video clip from my Android cell phone into iMovie. I took the video clip using the Camcorder app and emailed it to myself. Then I downloaded it and it downloaded as a .3gp format file. I cannot get this file into iMovie. Apparently the format is not accepted. What do I do now?
iMovie 09

Thank you. I will try this.
Now if I were to receive short video clips from a few different countries, would MPEG Streamclip be able to convert all the clips? I don't know what the video formats are for other countries but I need to be able to convert them so I can get them into iMovie.

IPhone5 no longer importing pictures and videos correctly

I have been able to import pictures and videos from my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7 Pro computer for the last 2 years. However, a few months ago, I couldn't get the iPhone to appear on the computer, so I went into Device Manager and Uninstalled the driver, then plugged the phone in again to let it reinstall the driver. That worked, but now when I try to download again, everything on my computer (browsing on windows, windows import manager, Sony Play Memories) says that there are no files to import. I can take pictures and videos and when I try again, I get the same message, so it's certainly not true. If I browse to the files using explorer, I go to Computer >> Apple iPhone and Internal Storage shows 383 MB free of 14.7 GB. When I browse further down to Internal Storage >> DCIM, the folder is blank. I tried the same trick of deleting and reinstalling the drivers with the same results. I don't know what else to try.

I solved my own problem. Apparently, you now have to log into (unlock) the phone for it to work. That was not the case on some earlier version of IOS.

Iphone 4s - How can I import photos or videos from a PC

Iphone 4s - How can I import photos or videos from a PC

You can't, natively with the iPhone. The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To do what you want requires third-party software, like this:

Importing & Editing iPhone Video, but end result horrible Quality?? Why?

I imported a few videos from my Iphone to edit in PE7. After editing and rendering, the resulting video looks like crap compared to original. I did a test run of a short clip with no editing whatsoever and rendered as a MPEG2 to upload to a webpage and it still looked horrible compared to the original. The iPhone files are Quicktime .MOV video files. Ive had no other problems before with other sources and just wondering what Im missing. Ive tried googling and cant find any help. Thanks.

There is no project preset for 1080p24 in Premiere Elements 7. It is not until Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 that we do find the opportunity.
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
So, what to do with a 1080p24 (Stereo audio) and Premiere Elements 7 and end up with a 1080p24 export to file saved to the computer hard drive.
(1) Import with the project preset of
NTSC
AVCHD Full HD 1080i30
The prime objective of the project preset is to direct the program to set up the 1920 x 1080 space in the Edit area monitor. This project preset will serve that purpose until you want to do frame by frame by frame editing which you are unlikely to be involved in.
(2) When it comes to export the 1080p24 Timeline content
Share
Personal Computer
MPEG
with Presets = HD 720p
then under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, customize the Export Settings to look exactly like what you see in the screenshot below: If the screenshot does not present clear enough, please click on it to bring up a clearer view.
Please check out my blog post on Premiere Elements 24p features.

Now with regard to what you seem actually to have....
1. Both cell phones (iPhone 5 and 5S) are probably giving you 1080p with a variable frame rate up to 30 frames per second. Depends often on the lighting during video recording with the device.
a. If you are having problems with this video, then take it into HandBrake before importing it into Premiere Elements 7 in order to change the variable frame rate to a constant one. The MediaInfo video audio properties readout program will give you the minimum, mid range, and maximum frame rate used in recording the video. Go with the mid range reading.
http://handbrake.fr/
MediaInfo | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net
Even the latest Premiere Elements versions can have problems with variable frame rates of cell phones and those other devices that work with a variable frame rate.
b. Let us assume that you have a 1080p with the mid range 24 progressive frames per second used for these cell phone recordings.
Import the 1080p24 with the constant frame rate into Premiere Elements 7 with the project preset cited in example above.
c. Then use the export route that I described in the example above.
If your iPhone videos have frame rates other than 24 progressive frames per second, we can discuss them individually.
Do any of your source videos for these project need rotation. Other topic for discussion. For now, the above principles should apply to your video. Handling of portrait oriented video in a landscape oriented video is other topic for discussion. But, let us see how you work through the above.
Thanks.

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.

HT204053 sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - if you would like help then you will need to provide more information than 'can't import' e.g. how are trying to sync content and what happens when you do it ?
You have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and your phone appears in it when it's connected to your computer ? If not then see if this troubleshooting page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
You should be able to sync music and films/TV programmes by selecting your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC) and then using the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your content
Is that how you are trying to do it and it's not working ?
If you haven't synced your phone to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My Lightroom 5.3 stopped Importing photos and videos.

Lightroom 5.3 stopped Importing photos and videos. Error message appears "Could not copy a file to the requested location."
I uninstalled and reinstalled LR 5.3. Problem still occurs. There must be residual problems not cleared out by the uninstall.
Any Ideas? I cannot even find a way to contact Adobe by phone or chat. Not even pay for support. Larry

Please state your operating system.
This message might mean either:
The hard disk is full
The folder on the hard disk that you are trying to copy the files to does not have WRITE permission

HT201302 Using a windows 8 at question 5 at "right click logo" there is no option of "import pictures and videos" HELP!!!!!!

I'm using a windows 8 and an Iphone 5 and am trying to download photos from my phone to my computer. I found the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 from another question but when I get to question 5 where it says "right click logo" it's an unidentified logo that says iphone and even when I right click it there is no option of "import photos and videos". HELP!!!!! been working on this for weeks and cannot acomplish a thing. help please!!!

Alright, if you go to computer and right click on the iPhone, import is not an option? If you go to Control Panel and go to AutoPlay, can you change the settings for the phone? It should recognize it as a digital camera. Also, if the iPhone has a passcode and is locked when you connect it, you will not be able to import the photos either. If it has a passcode, unlock it, then connect to the computer and see if you can see the choice to import then.

Hi, i have a gopro and imovie11 wont let me import my hd videos. does anyone know the reason for this? i shoot them in hd but when i try to import them in hd it wont let me, please someone help me?

i have a gorp and i need help importing my hd videos that i know i shoot in hd, to imovie 11. it wont let me click on them, there transparent and it wont allow it. can someone help me figure this problem out?

Hi Ken,
I had the same problem importing from my Gopro. The solution I found was to open the movie using Quicktime. Select "share" from the menu at the top of the page, then select iMovie. It will convert it to a readable format as it loads it into iMovie. Don't know why Apple makes a simple task so unintuitive.

Is your QuickTime up to date?
Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

iTunes and the iPhone do not support WMV files. You will first have to convert the video to an MPEG4 or H.264 format video.
Handbrake is free and should be able to do this, see https://handbrake.fr

My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

I'd like to import my camera video using iMovie to a hard drive attached to my MacPro. Is there a way to do this? I'd like some help.

I'd like to import my camera video to a hard drive attached to a Mac Pro. Has anyone been successful doing this? Please help?

If you use iMovie, you need to import it into iMovie.
What storage does your camera have? SD card? That's easy: plug it into Mac and then drag the footage from the SD card to the external drive.
