Importing Multiple Files, or Folders into FCE?

Hello Hello
I was wondering if there was a way to import several files or folders at ONE time so that you wouldn't have to contnually go back to re-navigate the path to import?

HI TOM
And Michel too!
Thanx again my friends
Ok Tom - you're always providing such great tutorials, I thought I'd give a little back. As, I'm a little brain-dead, perhaps these screens may provide help for others also looking to bring several items into your FCE project to add to your Bin List:

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP. Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7. So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random. Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

How to import multiple files to the frame area?

How do I import multiple files to create animated GIF's. I
know how to import multiple files into the Fireworks, but if I'm
trying to create an animated gif that has alot of files, How do I
get them into the frames area. It is really a pain importing each
and every file one at a time frame by frame

merry1
after you bring in all your images to the canvas, select all
and in the
Frames Options drop down, select Distribute to Frames.
You can bring multiple images onto the canvas by copy and
pasting from
the folder(s) where they exist.

Can no longer save edited photos. get messages - "Nothing was imported" "The file or folders selected to import did not contain supported file type.

Can someone help. I use Photoshop Elements 13. I can no longer save edited photos. get messages - "Nothing was imported" "The file or folders selected to import did not contain supported file type. It started this a couple of weeks ago and I had a friend come fix it just 2 days ago. It took him several hours and I lost all tags I had on over 10,000 pictures. Now it has done it again. I'm so upset. I lost a lot of stuff. I don't want to keep bothering him with this. Please Help.

InDesign CS3 crashes when importing multiple files.

I've got a new box that's been running pretty solid for several weeks now. It's Win 7 with 8 gigs. Just last night it starts crashing when I'm importing multiple files. Doesn't matter if it's JPGs, TIFFs, or PDFs.
I can import all the same files one by one using the place command.
Importing multiples using the place command or dragging & dropping crashes.
It's not a case of placing a PDF using the bleed box and no bleed box is set. And that usually doesn't crash InDesign, just fails to import.
I deleted the preferences file to no avail.
CS 5.5 has no problems. No, I can't just use 5.5. I'm the only person with it and really only use it for converting files for customers that don't have the common sense to send a PDF. Other people in the shop have to be able to open these same files.
Any ideas? This is already a pain since one of my main jobs is ganging business cards 72 up on a sheet.
Thanks,
Mike

Import multiple files

I have made plugin based on custom importer, now I can import media files using my custom GUI.
But now I'm little bit confused, is it possible to import multiple files using SDK ?
I mean:
1. Chose several clips in my GUI.
2. Click ok and files will be added to project.
Thanks.

Thanks for answer Steve.
But, how can it help me ?
I have found in docs:
imGetInfo8
param1 - imFileAccessRec8 *
param2 - imFileInfoRec8 *
Describe a clip, or a single stream of a clip if the clip has multiple streams. Called when a specific
file is instantiated. Importer checks file validity, optionally allocates file instance data, and de-
scribes the properties of the file being imported by populating the imFileInfoRec8.
and
imIterateStreams
Return from imGetInfo8 to indicate that there are more streams
to describe. Premiere will send imGetInfo8 for the next stream.
So, as I understand, imIterateStreams describes just media streams of single file,
but it has no relation how to specify multiple files during import.
Now I'm using imGetPrefs8 selector to specify file path.
Please explain me where I'm wrong.
Thanks,

Problems importing multiple files into iTunes

I'm running the most recent version of iTunes. When I try to add multiple files to my itunes library a box pops up and it seems to be importing, but when the box closes, the files are not in my library. I can only add 2 or three files at a time, but no more than that. This didn't happen with the older version of iTunes. Is anyone else having the same problem, and is there a way to solve this? I have tons of files that I want to import, but at this rate, it will take months to import them. Please help!

flash is limited to 16,000 frames.

How to import multiple files linked to swf into captivate?

Hi all
I am trying to import a flash swf animation into captivate 5.5. I figured it should be straight forward by going Insert > Animation, but the animation doesn't do what it is meant to. I think this is because the swf file is associated with a number of images, audios and an xml file. I thought if I got all the files into the Captivate library it might work, but I've only been able to import the images and audio not the xml file (Import > XML tells me Captivate can't import xml). I'm not sure what to do to get the animation playing.
Any responses appreciated.
Thanks Peter

Hi Peter,
Importing an animation that has certain required files like graphics and aurido and XMl scattered would not work if each broght sepeartely to library, what is assumed while you do Insert--Animation is that the animation has all the required components embedded in itself.
seo, you can check of the source file can be modified to produce a single flash file that has all required assets embedded in itself.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Problem with "Import"; Trying to move song into FCE

The answer may be deceptively simple, but it eludes me.
In the past I merely dragged/dropped a song from my iTunes folder into FCE to begin my project. The only files I have chosen to date were mp3 files. There was no problem encountered whatsoever.
Today, the song I chose is not allowed into FCE and the only correlation is that I purchased the song in the iTunes music store and it has an extension of m4a. There error message: "File error: unknown file"
What am I missing?

Thank you, Tom. Very helpful and I do believe my problem will be solved. However, what makes this a bit of head scratcher for me is that I tested an "import" with another song that I purchased from iTunes music store with no problems.
I don't expect you to know, so thank you so much for the link. I will attempt the workaround right now

Importing sound files in folders

I want to import a number of sound files organized into folders to an iPod. No, they are not commercially recorded songs and no, they do not have any information in the "album" or "artist" field. They have names that do not have a lot of meaning in plain English.
I would like to get them onto this iPod organized into the folders they are in. It would be a nightmare to try to reorganize them into "playlists" if they were all scrambled in the iTunes library and difficult for me to use from the iPod if they were not organized into the folders they are in on the hard drive. Is there some way I can do this?
I seem to have recollections of using iTunes years ago where I could drag a folder into the playlist areas and it would import the files and keep them in that playlist. Is this my imagination? Would Apple have removed functionality from iTunes?
What happens if folders are directly in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes library?
--Kenoli

This is great. Just what I wanted, though it is not working for me. Also, when I drag a sound file into the library, it does not import it, though it will import it if I drag it to the title bar at the top of the library or into a playlist.
Applecare thinks my application may be screwed up and wants me to re-install it. I'll try that. Incidentally, they didn't know you could do what you just told me. My sense when I call them is that they don't really know what they are talking about. In the past, I had much better experiences with Applecare.
I have been using another application than iPhoto for photos that let's me organize my photos in natural folders and adds tags to the graphic files instead of in a proprietary file so they remain completely independent of the application. Do you know if there is an application for iTunes that lets me put stuff directly on an iPod in a way it can be played without going through iTunes?
ITunes seems to be primarily a front end for the Apple Store and DRM control. I'm not even dealing with commercial music files and it all seems very baroque.

Cannot import an iMovie HD project into FCE

Hi,
I've been trying to import an iMovie HD (iMovie 6.0.4) project into FCE and all I get is an error:-
I've also tried to import the same project file into iMovie '09 but nothing is imported.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks,
TonyT

Hi
NO - Not really !
iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one program and it's evolution.
iMovie'08 to '13 - is something completly different - NO code is used from previous iMovie !
So really No other program - iMovie'08 - '13 or FinalCut Express, Pro or Pro-X or Adobe Premiere etc can import a project so that all work (transitions. texts etc) still remain in an editable form.
What You can do is
• Finalize project in iM HD6 - or -
• Export out as a movie - QT.mov and use this as a template in FinalCut etc and re-build - (doesn't work in iMovie'08 - '13 as it only holds one Video track).

Importing 720 x 400 .avi into FCE?

Hi all,
Essentially, I'm trying to import segments of a long .avi file (720x400) into FCE, to be used in a 720 x 576 DV-PAL project.
Thus far, I have used Mpeg Streamclip to export the clips to Quicktime files, unscaled at 720 x 400, and FCE then displays it centred with a letterbox effect. That's the outcome I'd be happy with.
But there's a slight hiccup. I'm placing subtitles over the top of certain sections, using Title 3D and cropped Mattes, you see. When I playback the timeline BEFORE rendering (ie.: a green 'preview' bar above the subtitled bits) everything runs smoothly and appears seamless. But then when I render, the segments of video with subtitles (and only these segments) are pulled out of the correct aspect ratio, so the video appears stretched vertically. It doesn't stretch to fit the whole 576 display - there is a small letterbox - but obviously it doesn't look correct because the picture chops back and forward to stretched and unstretched video. It looks great between subtitles, but then hideous in subtitled bits!
Do you have any advice on how to work around the problem? I'd considered importing the .avi segments to QT in DV-PAL 700x576, but I don't want to change the aspect ratio. Can Mpeg Streamclip add in the top and bottom letterboxes for me?
Hope this makes sense. Cheers, appreciate the help as always.
Sahir

A DV-NTSC video file of 12GB should be a video about 55 minutes in length. If that's the approximate length of your avi video file, then you're probably good to go.
Have you brought the QT file into FCE? Did it behave properly?
FCE's learning curve IS pretty steep. You'd be wise to invest in some training material. Two excellent choices:

Importing projects from iMovie HD into FCE HD?

Ok Guys, I know this is a pretty hot/touchy topic around here but I thought I would start a new topic as I am not even getting past step 1 as discussed in several posts and in the way that apple advertise!?
I am using the latest versions of both apps... 5.0.2 and 3.0.1. I follow the instructions as described in the manual (page 139) and FCE shuts down (quit unexpectedly)?
Also... how do i open the 'project/movie' in quicktime? do I have to do a massive export first!?
Cheers,
Al

Hey Tom, Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have a very basic project with a title sequence (8secs) and about 7 mins of edited video sequences in the time line from which I have extracted the audio. (so, a title sequence, 1 video track, 1 audio track). It contains no unauthorized material and no music, iTunes etc.
The reason I want to continue my project in FCE is that i want to utilize more video and audio tracks than iMovie can handle... and I'd rather not start again because I have already made about 50 edits which would take a while to redo.
Surely I can take my existing iMovie timeline sequence and import that into FCE. I am going to redo the titles/text, so it's only the video (and audio from the video) that i want exported.
Is this in anyway possible?
Regards
Al

Import Multiple Files In One Pdf Size

Acrobat 8, Windows XP
I have multiple files with several paper sizes and want to import them all A4 size, in pdf. When I import them, each page is a different size, how can make all pdf pages A4?

The problem is that I cannot change the pages size before I transform them to PDF files. The crop tool will not do, because I have to change the pages proportionally. With this tool I can crop only the page, the image will maintain its original size...
Thanks anyway :-)

Kind regards
Thomas (Denmark)

Hi Russ -
I downloaded the utility and driver from here:
http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/resources/blogs/2012/20120223_xf_utilities_and_pl ugin_updates.shtml
But after looking around realized it isn't updated for Mavericks yet. I was only given two files and both weren't in any sort of directory structure- here is a screenshot.
Thanks in advance for your help!
