Importing Iphone videos to PC - how?

When I plug IPhone to PC, it imports photos but not video. I read on one technical support page that you can only sync video to Mac computers. Any idea how to transfer video from Iphone to PC?
Many thanks if you can help!

Tks so much for your help. I don't how to change the import program (my PC only shows Windows as the program), but I have worked out how to import manually cy copying and pasting to photo gallery. It imports the file as a Quicktime (.mov) file. Do you know if its possible to convert these video files to avi. so I can use them in movie making programs?
Cheers

The Premiere Elements learning curve is a serious matter. Nothing to be taken lightly or taken for granted. Every question is important, small or large. Never hesitate to ask a question. Every answer is always obvious once you have been there and done that. I often reflect on "the measure of a smart person is not what he/she knows but rather what he/she knows that they do not know". All that said, let us move forward zealously to get you moving forward with your project with some fine tuned communication.
I have gone back and reread your whole thread. I think the light bulb may have lit here and that I bypassed the following.
When I open the Organize and view videos section that is supposed to show ALL my imports.
All that are fully showing are the pictures... ALL The Videos are located in a "BLANK" box on that same screen.
Again,   If I select the "make movies" option   the videos are able to be dragged down to the timeline, where they fully appear. However, I cannot view them in the selection area
On my re-read of your thread, it appears that your blank box is not in Project Assets in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12 Editor. It is in the Elements Organizer 12 which is part of Premiere Elements 12. Is that correct? If it is,
a. if you double click the blank thumbnail in that Elements Organizer 12, can you play back the video file there?
And, what you are saying is that when you open this Elements Organizer 12 blank box in Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, you see the video and hear the audio just fine. Is that what is going on?
Video thumbnail problem in the Elements Organizer is a frequent report. That is why details, such as the file extension of the file involved, are so important along with the other properties of the file.
One way around this is to use Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Add Files and Folders (from computer hard drive) to get your file into Project Assets from where you drag it to the Timeline. Does that work for you?
Before I go on and on, let us see if we are in sync on this.
Your help on this is appreciated.
Thanks.

How do you import iPhone video from Aperture into FCPX?

I need to import some iPhone 4 video files from Aperture into FCPX. For some reason there seems to be no way to do this. Please do not suggest I import the videos directly from my iPhone. #1 the videos are already off my phone and #2 I have no desire to import all my iPhone videos separately into FCPX when I am already importing them into Aperture along with my photos.

You have to drag them from their location, (finder or iPhoto etc) into one of the events in the event list of FCP X.

Imported iphone videos crash windows explorer

Hi, I have imported 10 short video clips from my iphone to my windows 8 laptop using the usb data cable. The transfer or import works fine however when I open the folder containing the clips and hover the mouse pointer over one of the video clip icons, windows explorer immediately closes. No error message, no warning, just immediate closure.
It appears to be a problem relating to the imported iphone clips as non of my other video clips have this error, just the ones I've just imported.
This occurs using various media players, WMP, VCL etc.
Having read a few thread on help forums it would seem this is something linked to thumbnail viewing but I've not got a clue how to sort this.
Thanks in advance

TThis is a user to user support forum. You will only get a response here if someone else has experienced your problem, or knows a solution. Since your error involves Windows Explorer, have you tried a Microsoft support forum. You can also get an error report in Windows for the crash. Check with Microsoft.

Error importing iphone video to imovie

I am trying to import iphone 4 video to iPhoto on MBP but getting an error. Is there a video minimum time? I'm importing videos 1 at a time, videos are about 3 to 12 minutes long. All have .mov extension. Getting an error. What am I not doing correctly?

I'm having a similar issue. I imported a video from my iPhone to my iMac. The preview of the video imported is perfect. Views same as on iPhone. However, when I select the clip for a "New Project" then the video is all messed up. I'd call it a cross from squished, to cropped to enlarged. Definitely not the same as what I imported and see in the original strip in the Event Window. Weird.

TS2635 need iPhone video to leaning how to use .

please backup iphone video to leaning. I'm first use this iphone.

Read the manual.

Iphoto won't import iphone video

This should "just work" and it "just doesn't." I am trying to import a movie I made on my iPhone 4 to the latest iPhoto. I can see the video which I shot, but when I click on "import all" it just hangs with a beach ball. I have to force quit iPhoto.

Thanks for the tip. Using image capture does import and allow me to delete photos. However, also I'd like to know why iPhoto keeps having this problem. It's not just a one-time occurence. I also had this problem with a movie FOR the iPad that I made with QuickTime 7 Pro. iPhoto seems to have a bug in this respect, or my configuration is hosed somehow.

Re-importing iPhone video back into the iPhone

Last night I shot a video using my iPhone4. I imported it into iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and deleted it from my iPhone. Now I want it back on my iPhone, but I've tried everything and it won't go back onto my iPhone. Pictures in iPhoto in a sync folder are showing up on my phone, but even though the video is in that folder, it doesn't show up on my phone in Photos. Do videos show up someplace else? I'm confused. Help! Thanks!

I found another thread that suggests checking the "include videos" in the Photo sync part of iTunes. I'll try that tonight.

Importing iPhone video: I can import iPhone 4 but not iPhone3 video

Hey, all. Two Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 questions:
QUESTION 1: I am running Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 with OS 10.8.3, so I am up to date. I can easily import video from my iPhone 4 vie USB cable into Final Cut Pro X. But Final Cut will not find an iPhone 3. Yes? No?
QUESTION 2: After updating to 10.0.8, on import the FCPX import screen at left is not finding my Mac's Desktop as I seem to recall it used to. It just lists: CAMERA; DEVICES; FAVORITES.
Is there a way to add it to Favorites?
Thanks,
Douglas

I can't tell you why the 3G isn't recognized by FCP and I have no way to test whether it's normal since I don't have access to that model. But just to suggest that you use Image Capture to bring the clips into your computer and then import those into FCP. An extra step, but FWIW, that's the workflow I use for the 4S – even though it appears in the import window.
As for your missing Desktop listing, I have experienced that and as I recall I trashed preferences and it reappeared. BTW, I assume shows properly in your Finder sidebar?

Importing from iPhone video camera?

I'm about to start a an audio/video project and wanted to just put this out there for some advice. 3 Camera iPhone 4 shoot, 1 prerecorded audio track. Not planning on using the audio from the iphones. I've never imported iPhone video into FCE. Any suggestions? Any know problems with this? I'm planning on doing it all in HD. Then syncing the video to the audio track. (The audio track is just an Mp3.) Will this just be super easy and straight forward? I've done this same thing with Canon Vixia HD cameras before and it was no problem. Does the iPhone present any particular issues?
Thanks

Thanks Tom. (BTW, love your book!)
So, how do I convert these files? I've always just dragged things into the timeline before, then rendered them, but I don't want any funny business. Is there a specific way I should prepare these files before I bring them into the project? I'm always a bit confused by this and have had some bad experiences with projects that looked squashed or stretched.
Thanks for your input!

Deleting photos from last imported also deletes from all imported and videos..how do I keep one of the albums and not the other?

I downloaded photos from digital camera and created imported photos and videos(want to keep this one) and last imported and all imported "albums". Too much space. As I deleted the all imported group the same pictures deleted from last imported and the import and video groups. How do I keep on one of the albums an my iPad so I have easy access to them?

That is how the Photos app works, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created in the app then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo, you're not creating a separate copy of the photo - so if you delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to the photo, and it will therefore be removed from any albums that you've 'copied' it into.

Iphone video doesn't skim in viewer

I have imported iphone video and checked "create optimized media". When I go to skim in the viewer, after import, no video shows up then then fcpx locks up. Is there a trick to importing iphone video into fcpx?

Yes, what does that do?
This is the folder where the transcoded iPhone files end up and FCP X uses. The Originals have trouble playing back but the ones in the Transcoded Media folder should work.

HELP!!!! Importing MPEG Video to CS3

Well I Can't import mpeg video to cs3 how can i format my video in order to import my video?
Every time i want to import video it says
"File format not Supported"
A lil help will b great
Thanks.....

Based on reading a LOT of problem reports, importing files from a DVD camcorder or other MPEG device, or Ripping DVD files rarely results in success in Premiere... do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is designed to be for PLAYBACK only... and that includes trying to edit a Standard Def MPEG or VOB file!
You should also use WAV sound files, not the compressed MP3 format, To work with AC3 files in Premiere, it MAY work to copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore DVD directory into the Premiere directory
Go to my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
Click the internal link for editing compressed files... read
There are other products better suited to your task... but if you only have DVD type files, you should convert to DV AVI... go to the VideoHelp link in my notes and look for a program to convert... but do be aware that converting from a HIGHLY compressed viewing format back to an editing format is going to cause a drop in quality
The only SD (Standard Def) files that Premiere really likes are DV AVI type 2

IPhone video not working after updating

after updating my iphoto and my whole library, Whenever i open an imported iphone video i get this message
"A necessary data reference could not be resolved."
Note: only the old iPhone video before updating is not working
please help

The first time I used Migration Assistant. The second time I copied all the videos from the old computer to the new one by way of an external hard drive. Still not playing.
Interestingly...when I, on a hunch, re-copied some of the videos back unto the old computer, it couldn't play them (it can still play the original ones, though).
So it seems that iPhoto 11 is doing something to them, though I only get the error message ("A necessary data reference could not be resolved.") on 11. On iPhoto 09, it just simply refuses to play them.

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:
".mov" file
dimensions:   1280 x 720
codecs: H.264, AAC
Color Profile:   HD (1-1-1)

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).
