Importing VGA 640x480 into Imovie09

I recently bought a Panasonic GH-1 and shot some video in MOTION JPEG VGA 640x480. Next I discovered that my Powerbook G-4 was too old and slow to do much editing so I bought a new MacBook Pro. Now I find that I can't import the video into iMovie09. I read one post that said you could load VGA into iPhoto and then into iMovie but that doesn't seem to work for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could I load an older version of iMovie, import the video into that and then somehow export to 09? Any help would be much appreciated.

I recently imported Motion Jpeg/A at 1920x1080 into iMovie 09 successfully.
Did you try FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES...?
If that did not work, try dragging your movie into MPEG Streamclip and exporting to QuickTIme as Motion Jpeg/A in the original dimensions.
It could also be the case that iMovie 09 can handle the Motion JPEG but cannot handle the Audio Codec. In this case, MPEG Streamclip can also help. FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME as Motion Jpeg with audio codec set to uncompressed.
Open your movie in QuickTIme Player and click WINDOW/INSPECTOR. You should see the codecs next to the word "Format".
Good luck.

Importing m2v files into 09

I created a movie in FCP7---I exported it to compressor. It then created an m2v file.
I now want to import that m2v into iMovie09 but it will not appear.
When I click on the folder iMovie hangs up and crashes. Nothing appears in the folder and i know it is there.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

How to import a wmv file into imovie09

i got a friend to film me scuba diving and he put it on a SDHC but imovie09 wont let me import it into imovie09 as he already did some editing on it and added music. Is there any possible way as i only want the video footage ideally but i dont mind even with the music. Please help in very simple steps please Thank you.

try this
Use MPEG Streamclip (free i think)
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
use MPEG Streamclip to convert your WMV files to Apple Intermediate Codec
Then import the AIC files (which will have a .mov extension) into iMovie 09.

Imovie09 copies videos but doesn't import. how can I import my videos into imovie?

imovie09 copies videos but doesn't import. how can I import my videos into imovie?

Can you tell us what you actually mean by "iMovie09 copies videos but doesn't import"?
If you have got your video into iMovie then it has imported it.Are you able to see your video in the Event Browser?

Clip dates lost on import from iMovieHD to iMovie09

So I have tons of old video I'm finally going to edit with iMovie09. Some of this is on tape, and some is on the hard drive as iMovieHD projects. Both types imported into iMovie09. The only difference was that the clips from video kept the time/date info for the clips, while the imports from iMovieHD didn't have the correct data. Every date for example has an August 30th, date regardless of when it was shot. This date is when I imported the video in the to iMovieHD. Now if I go into iMovie HD and select a clip and view it's info, it does show the correct date of the individual clip.
Any thoughts on this. I wouldn't care about this except that I'm mixing in other video in the same date range, and I want the events sorted by dates.

I can right click a clip in iMovie HD to see that date, then I go to iMovie 09, and chose "File > Adjust Clip Date and Time" and change the date. Now in my case I didn't care about exact time, but just date. So I took a number of clips that had the same shoot date, and adjusted them all at once. As it happens I had two computers, which made things easier so I could have the same clips open in iMovie HD on one, and iMovie 09 on another. This made it easy, but same thing could have been done with one computer, but would just need to toggle back and forth between apps.

Importing VHS tape into iMovie.

I am importing VHS tapes into either imovie 09 or 06. When I play back in the program, it has good quality. But when I save it, no matter what format: mp4, .avi, .mov, etc. The quality is very poor when played back on DVD player.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

I am importing VHS tapes into either imovie 09 or 06.
Use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09.
iMovie 09 and 11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, so iMovie 06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 09, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a "lossless" combination.

Unable to import .mp4/.ts into Premiere Elements 3.0

I've captured footage from my PlayStation 3 using this device: http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/live_gamer_portable
The device saves the footage in a .ts file.
I've tried to get information on the file using a program. If there's a better way to do it, please let me know:
When I try to import the file into Premiere Elements 3.0, I get an error message: "File format not supported/One of the necessary components may not have been installed."
I've converted the file into an mp4 format with this program: http://ftp2.avermedia.com/C875/C875_utility_v1.0.0.9_20131029.zip
Information on the file:
But this did not solve the problem.
Ideally, I would like to avoid converting the video file, if that would take up a lot of time. If I can just upgrade Premiere Elements, that would be the most ideal solution.
Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

I am able to import a .ts file into Premiere Elements 10, 11, and 12 Windows 7 64 bit.
But, not so, for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9.
And, the reason why your .mp4 conversion did not work would be in accord with the fact that you used AVCHD as the video compression, and AVCHD video compression was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7.
If you do decide to move to version 12, please note that there is a dramatic difference in workspace between 3 and 12. So, go the free tryout of 12 before any purchase.
You could try to convert the .ts to H.264.mp4 and not AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264).mp4 and see if that works for you.

How to Import XML file into SAP B1

Dear All,
I have a scenario like,
I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Thanga Raj K

Hy folks,
I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
Could you please help me with this subject!
Thanks a lot,
Denis

Importing .ISO files into SCVMM2012 R2 - Folder Naming Quirk

We've run into a folder naming issue in regards to importing .ISO's into the VMM Library. When specifying a folder to import the .ISO into, VMM adds %20 to the folder names where spaces are. Not a huge deal but wonder if anyone has a way around this without
using dashes or underscores.

I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2. Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

Import Russian text into FM 7.1, please advice

Dear professionals
From our Russian agent I received some MS-Word documents in the Russian language.
I wanted to import the Cyrillic text / characters into Framemaker documents to make a structured book.
But copying and pasting makes Frame only show question marks.
Selecting an other font did not show anything else.
What is the simpelest way of making Frame "eat" the Cyrillic MS-Word text and make a proper structured document.
I read already things about "font mappings", but haven't the faintest "clou" about how to do such a thing.
Al this on a Win-XP system and Frame version 7.1p116.
Font Arial CYR and others available in the Paragraph Designer.
Your advice will be appreciated.
Regards,
Wolter

Wolter,
You have to transform the text into the Cyrillic codepage. Codepage is a term describing a set of max. 256 characters (encodable with a single byte). With Western Windows we use the codepage 1252, for Cyrillic text codepage 1251 is necessary.
Without rebooting etc. you may want to proceed like this:
* Open the document with Word
* File > Save as Text (there might be two options, we need the option which allows to set the encoding)
* Select "Windows (Russian)" or something with "1251" from the encoding popup menu. If the document contains any characters that do not fit into this encoding, it will tell you.
* Save as txt file.
Now you can import this file into FrameMaker, if asked for an encoding, use Windows — FrameMaker 7.x does not know anything about Cyrillic etc., only when you apply a font like Arial CYR (which is a codepage subset of Arial) the correct glyphs will appear.
HTH,

How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
" The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

Importing web project into Workshop 9.2

Hi,
I'm trying to import an existing web project into Workshop 9.2.1 from my Subversion source. Unfortunately Workshop doesn't recognize this project as a valid web project.
I imported the code project using 'File>Import>Existing Projects' into Workspace.
Unfortunately, I get the following errors:
- "The library module reference : beehive-netui-1.0 is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
- "The library module reference : jstl is not allowed from the classpath of a non-web project, only JAR,EJB, and EAR module types are allowed."
How do I tell Workshop that this project is indeed a web project?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Derrek

Wow.... I figured out a workaround (aka Ugly Hack). It seems that Workshop doesn't properly import Portlet projects. Here's how I got around it:
1. Checkout the code from Subversion
d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\
2. Move MyComponent to a temp directory
d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\ --> d:\tmp\MyComponent
3. Open Workshop and create a new Portal project and PortalEAR project of the same name as the MyComponent projects
File>New myComponentPortal
4. Copy over the src and WebContent directories in the SVN directory with the files from tmp.
d:\tmp\MyComponent\src -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\src
d:\tmp\MyComponent\src\WebContent -> d:\MyProjects\Project\trunk\MyComponent\WebContent
5. Refresh Workshop and let the spooky voodoo happen. Viola! Now I've got a running portal project with a SVN connection.

Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
-Michael

First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.
