Importing PP project but no clip descriptions

I searched the forum, but found no reference to this problem, so if it is there, I apologise.
I'm relatively new to AE, since the beginning of the year...I've been importing my PP CS6 project into AE to build opens for my programs, however I have never been able to get the clip descriptions to import with the files. I presume I'm missing something really obvious, but haven't yet figured it out.
All suggestions would be most appreciated.
This is on a 12 core Mac ML 10.8.2 and C 6.0.2. Files are a mix of Canon 080/30p and XDCAM EX HQ files 1080/29.97i.
Thx...jw

It's simply invisible metadata. If you want to reveal it, use scripting to access it and e.g. convert it to marker comments or text layers - if it's even possible.

  • Can't Import HTMLHelp Project using Robohelp HTML RH8

    We have an HTMLHelp project that contains over 1000 HTML pages that are grouped into subfolders under the main project folder. Currently, we use the HTML Workshop to create/maintain the project files and generate the master chm.  The master chm also includes baby chms that are generated using DocX or a home-grown program. Going forward, we want to start using a Help authoring tool . We downloaded a trial version of RH8.  We clicked the Import option to import the project and received the following error: "The parameter is incorrect".  I checked the forum and saw that other people also received this error message but for different reasons. Can you help us move forward so that we can evaluate RH8?  Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Sorry, your post fell into the "mm, take a look at the weekend" category.
    I've not seen the problem you report in connection with importing a project but it's not a RoboHelp project you are importing but you are using that option.
    You have CHMs so try Reverse Engineering them. See that topic on my site. Try Method 2 first.
    There is also a topic on Merging Help and the RH8 version includes merging CHMs.

  • Just bought FCP, there is no option import imovie project...help!

    This is my first contribution to these discussions.
    I just bought FCP.
    In my trial version there was an option under file>import>import imovie project
    But in the bought version there is no such thing.
    How is this possible? Can anybody help me, because I would like to import an imovie project.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Luis, thanks
    I guess I have to explain a little more.
    I got a new computer.
    Old computer was backed up via Time Machine.
    I was working on an imovie project in April and I would like to continue now, but this time finish it in Final Cut Pro.
    The Imovie project was created in version 9.0.8 and it seems impossible to open it in the newest version (10.0.2) that I also have installed. It doesn't even want to open in 9.0.9. The only way I can see it is by opening the oldest version of imovie.But the project has been changed somewhat and I cannot work on it anymore in this version.
    The changes are no problem, I can fix them, but how do I export it into the newer versions is a mystery to me.
    So...maybe you are able to give me some tips as how to open this project in the newest version?
    Because then maybe I can export it to FCP.
    Thanks

  • Import doesn't make a clip (iMovie HD, Canon ZR10, macbookpro) Video Newbie

    Hi All
    I've never done video before and have a Canon ZR10 and I think iMovie HD (about says 6.0.3 (267.2)).
    The problem is that when I import from the camera it doesn't create the clip.
    iMovie is able to control the camera fine. The import button works, but no clip shows up.
    I also get the same results on a imac with iMove 3.x
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello, jsadler,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    Are you following these directions for importing from your camcorder?
    +Importing video from your camcorder+
    +One of the first steps in creating a movie is copying the video from your camcorder to your computer. This process is called "capturing" or "importing."+
    +Note: You can also have iMovie HD import and compose a movie automatically using the Magic iMovie feature.+
    +To import video from your camcorder:+
    +Turn on your camcorder, and set the camcorder to VTR mode (some camcorders call this Play or VCR).+
    +Connect your camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable. If you need help with this, see Related Topics below or refer to the documentation that came with your camera.+
    +In iMovie HD, click the mode switch to set iMovie HD to camera mode (shown above).+
    +If you have more than one camcorder, or a camcorder and iSight are connected, choose your camcorder from the pop-up menu that appears when you press the camera icon.+
    +Use the capture controls (shown below) to review your tape in the iMovie monitor.+
    +Rewind the tape to a few seconds before the point where you want to start importing.+
    +Click Play.+
    +When you see the frame where you want to begin importing, click the Import button in the iMovie monitor or press the Space bar.+
    +Your imported video appears in the Clips pane or timeline viewer, depending upon how you set your Import preferences. iMovie HD automatically creates a new clip at each scene break (wherever the recording was interrupted as the camera was set to standby). For information on how to turn off this feature, see Related Topics below.+
    +Click Import again or press the Space bar when you want to stop importing.+

  • Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

    I've several clips in a cs4 project.  All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder.  When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline."  When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences."  Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
    This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage.  If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem?  Thanks for your help.

    I figured out what has happened.  The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3.  The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec.  For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
    The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough.  I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
    Thanks for your time.
    Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there.  What's with Premiere Pro?  Irritating.

  • I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

    I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
    I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
    thanks!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • Trying to make a disc.img from an iMovie project get the mssage that some of the audio clips are not available. The clips still show as green bars in the project but do not play.

    I successfully made a disc.img and then burned a DVD of the project but found an error in a title. Went back to the project, corrected the error, and tried to create a new disc.img but got the message that some of the audio tracks were unavailable. They still show as green bars in the project but do not play. Tried deleting and reinstalling them with no success. They do play in iTunes and in the iMovie editing pane
    Thank you

    ... The goal is a ScrollPane that automatically wraps the text inside it. I've just about got it, but I have one thing that's not working. If I just put the JTextArea{s} in as the Editor, then you lose the any text that doesn't fit inside whatever the initial size was. Instead, I put the JTextAreas inside a JScrollPane which works fine, except that I still have to determine the size of the JScrollPane in advance. I would like to make each Editor/JScrollPane start out with just a single line of text and expand until it reaches a certain small number of lines.

    }OP, your code was too long and complicated for me to compile and run. However, aren't you forgetting the two simple methods <tt>JTextArea.setLineWrap()</tt> and <tt>JTextArea.setWrapStyleWord()</tt>? Furthermore, I absolutely see no need for you to extend SWING components for demonstration this simple -- that is, if I understand your problem correctly.

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.

  • I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac.  I want to divide some of those clips in Organizer.  I can do that in Premiere Elements 12 and save them as "Projects" - but how do I get the divided clips back into Organizer?

    I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac.  I want to divide some of those single clips into 2 or 3 separate clips, each shown separately in Organizer.  I can divide the clips in Premiere Elements Editor 12 and save them as "Projects" - but I can't find any way to get those divided clips back into Organizer.  Does anyone know whether that can be done?  Many thanks for your thoughts.

    What about Google Drive? And just share the folder with the family members.

  • I have been working on a project on final cut pro trial, just purchased the real deal, but cannot find a way of importing the project

    I have been working on a project on final cut pro trial, just purchased the real deal, but cannot find a way of importing the project

    You don't import the project.
    I'm going to assume that both the trial version and purchased version were 10.1.
    Open FCPX and then Open Library>Other, Navigate to wherever you stored the library (ies) you worked on when you used the trial. Choose that library and your work should be in one or more events in it.

  • FCP 10.1 DV capturing from camera breaking the scenes into unwanted clips by flashing a black screen on import window. But its fine and accurate with adobe premiere pro cc ? Any solution * Advance Thanks

    Any solution * Advance Thanks

    FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
    You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.

    You have to upgrade your iMovie 9 projects from iMovie 10 before you can use them.  See:

  • Sound during import, but no clip capture or sound on playback,

    There is sound in iMovie 5 from computer when importing video from camera, BUT no clips on shelf and no sound in playback. No wave in extracted audio. Video playback OK, but pale. Any ideas?

    Sorry if I came off a bit testy. I use the Apple TV daily in my work environment for background noise and the issues totally derailed my workflow this morning.
    So, I tried adjusting audio settings for both Dolby Digital and Audio Out. No luck.
    Last resort time. Hardwired (USB cable) to my laptop and restored via iTunes. Success, audio fuctional across all apps. Not the best of solutions because of the time required to restore accounts for the various 3rd party apps on the Apple TV but it worked.
    Guess I will never know what caused the 'no audio" issue though I suspect a bad/failed auto update. As convenient as that new feature is, it doesn't help when things go wrong.
    A final note, beta software is supposed to be buggy, I undertstand. Production stuff isn't. I've been a loyal Apple user for 20+ years now because of their quality control. I've used competing products too and felt very annoyed at the lack of QC (looking at you Google TV). I would love to see quicker addressing of bugs on the Apple TV OS because a bad experience is what drives less-technical users away. It is a real game changer device if Apple were to even attempt to give it the level of support that other products get. Anyways, that's my soapbox moment.
