Importing Video already on my Comp

I am trying to put videos that are all ready on my computer into iTunes. I have tried dragging, going to import, and help topics. When I drag it, it just won't let me put it in, but when I go to import under file it says it is not a valid exported file. It says it should just make a copy of it in AAC form but it doesn't. Can anyone help?

  • IPhoto asking to import videos already there from iPhone

    Basically after updating the iPhone to iOS6, all the videos in my Camera Roll now want to re-import into my iPhoto Library, but they are already there.
    Annoying because every time I want to import they all come up, but I have checked, the issue seems to be the time stamp, the videos seem to have a time stamp which is 30 seconds out to the ones originally imported.  Can someone help?

    I have the same exact problem.  Happened on both my iPhone 4S and my wife's iPhone 4 when trying to sync against iPhoto after installing the new iPhoto update and upgrading the phones to iOS6.  I also noticed the timestamps on the videos differed slightly.  Definitely interested in a solution as I don't really want to manually resync all videos and manually delete duplicates to clear out this issue in iPhoto.  I have not yet tried iMovie but I wonder if it will have the same problem?

  • IPhoto 9.2: already imported video not recognized

    Hello,
    I've recently updated to iPhoto 9.2, with the previous versions I usually import photos and videos from my iPhone.
    I usually connected it with the cable and importing photos and videos when prompted by iPhoto.
    Previous versions of iPhoto correctly recognized already imported photos and videos and had them hidden.
    After the upgrade to 9.2 it only recognizes imported photos but shows all the video in the iPhone as to be imported.
    I thought about reimporting all the videos in a new event but I have a LOT of videos and I woudl prefer not to waste time and space doing so.
    Did anyone experienced this? any hints on how to let iphoto recognize these videos?

    Unfortunately not:(
    But I have some news:
    I tried to re-import ALL the videos into a new event. Then the video disappeared from the import screen.
    But then I had duplicate videos: i tried deleting the newly imported videos and they showed up again in the import screen.
    It seems like iPhoto cannot flag the videos as "already imported" if it doesn't find the videos in the library. But the very same videos ARE in the library: I can even search for them in the integrated search engine and they do show up.
    jhgruber2 any success in sorting out this mess?

  • Can somebody help me? Can't import videos that are already on my hard drive

    i'm not the most technologically adept person. When it comes to iTunes, i plain stupid.
    for some reason i can't import videos on my hard drive.
    they are set to open in iTunes and if i double click on them, iTunes comes up and switches to the video screen, but it does not show the name in the list or play the video or anything. It's driving me nuts. Especially since i was considering buying an iPod video in the near future. But theres no point in even bothering if i can't get the videos into iTunes!!! If you know how to help my situtation or have any good tips let me know!!

    You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
    In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
    Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

  • Importing Video into iMovie '08 is not working

    I'm trying to import video from my Coolpix S7C camera and iPhoto can see it and Quicktime can play it, but iMovie can't. Is there only a certain format that is importable in iMovie? For example, is only 1080i importable to iMovie?
    And in case someone replies by saying that I should click Window > Event Library to display the project videos, that's already checked and no dice.
    Thanks for any help on this one.
    Oh, and I've just purchased Quicktime Pro to see if converting the file somehow will help.

    I found the answer on the net at a great site. In summary, if you don't have a DV camcorder, you need to buy Quicktime Pro, convert your .mov file into DV and then edit in iMovie and then convert it back into .mov to display. Kind of odd, but it does work.
    Just thought I'd let anyone else out there having the same problem know. The site where you can find the instructions to do so is here:

  • Can't import videos to iTunes!??

    I've been trying to import videos to itunes and for some reason they just won't go in! I have tried dvdrips and already converted to mp4 files on my harddrive, i've even downloaded the sample movie from the apple website to try and import that.
    When i go to import in the fille menu, find the file and click choose absolutely nothing happens. the finder window closes and thats it. the same happens for add to library function. i have the most up to date version of itunes and my brother has the same mac ipod and itunes version and can do it just fine exactly the same way as i am trying. pretty frustrating can anyone help?? pleases?

    Have you tried using the Finder? Just drag the video files onto Library in the sidebar. iTunes can be unresponsive - don't drop the files until Library (or Movies) turns blue and you see a green dot with a plus sign on your cursor.
    Once your movies are in iTunes, you can convert them to iPod format. Select the movie under Movies, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to iPod.

  • I can't Import Video, Transitions & Audio From One Project To Another

    I've been working on this video all day and I’m finally in the home stretch but I've encountered my biggest problem yet. This is what I want to do. I have a series of clips, transitions, and separate music track in 1 open project and I want to transfer the whole kit and caboodle to another open project. For some reason when I do it only imports the video and some audio that's in track 1. I have tried locking audio clips to the video but it doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone help me!? I'm bleary eyed already I've been at this so long. Thanks!

    catspaw: Thanks for replying!!! I think I was unclear as to what my problem was. The way I work is to have one Master project open and I then import various clips from other secondary projects as I build my movie. I know . . . this might seem nutty it’s just how I work. The clips, sound and transition were from a separate project but they were only part of the main movie I was building in my Master Project. Am I making any since? Anyway, I couldn’t take it any more so I rolled up my sleeves and went 1 by 1 through the audio clips and lined them up by hand with the imported video. I know this must be almost INPOSSIBLE to understand the way I’m explaining it, sorry! Basically, though, for now, I’ve solved the problem. Thanks so much! I’ll post again when I have my next iMovie anxiety attack.

  • Importing Video to iMovie 11 Causes Entire Computer to Crash

    Hi. I must say up front that I am not very Mac saavy, so I apologize in advance.
    I am trying to import video from a Canon Vixia HFS200 camera in to my iMovie 11 on my iMac. I'm running OS X version 10.6.8. The other details are in the error report that I've pasted below. When I turn on the video camera, I select sync then select "Computer/Printer" for USB connection type. It will then open my iPhoto and upload photos, and then it will open my iMovie (if not already open). It can transfer to iPhoto just fine. However, when it opens the transfer window in iMovie, it stalls with an empty transfer screen and then I get the gray box of death telling me that my computer has crashed and I must re-start it.
    I would appreciate any advice on this issue. Thanks!
    Here is the error report I received after the last crash:

    According to the link below I got from the Canon Canada website, apparently there is mentioned software to retreive images and videos from your camera.
    http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/7/0300004027/01/IB66_EN.pdf
    Anyhow, since you had it working before with iMovie 11, I am suspecting that it somehow got corrupted when the mounted volume (your camera) somehow got disconnected due to inadequate battery power.  Which was why Canon recommended people use an AC adapter for this or a fresh battery before a major transfer of movie clips.  When mounted volumes disconnect abruptly for whatever reasons, iMovie 11 goes into beserk mode trying to restore that connection resulting in crashes or slowdowns.
    To restore iMovie 11 back to where it was.
    You need to delete iMovie's plist and cache files, 2 files located in your Home/Libary folder
    com.apple.iMovieapp.plist (document)
    com.apple.iMovieapp        (folder)
    After this, you can either do 2 things.  One is run disk repair utility and execute repair permissions on the drive that iMovie resides (probably your main boot drive) or download a free utility called OnyX which is a free OSX maintenance software to do that plus some extras including clearing caches, which sometimes are the causes of system crashes. 
    It is available from http://www.titanium.free.fr/index.php and it will help repair permissions and clear caches.  Please download the appropriate version for your OSX (Snow Leopard).
    Once that is done, reboot your computer and run iMovie 11.  Connect the cable to the camera and computer and do your import.  Make sure you have a fresh charged battery on your Canon.  This should work.
    Regarding Apple Care.  The easiest way to deal with this is deal your issues with a Genius at the Apple Store.  They will help you with the registeration of Apple Care.  Just because you bought Apple Care does not necessarily mean you are registered and you should register it as soon as you got the system and Apple Care together.
    Apple is a good system, but in the quest of making the system super friendly, it can sometimes be daunting to get it working again because unlike the PC, the interface itself makes it challenging to do low level stuff.

  • Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
    "You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media.  Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
    We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
    Thanks
    By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters

    By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters
    SG has already commented on this in his initial reply to you. I thought that the above might blend in to supplement what he has said.
    I will watch for further developments in your troubleshooting with SG.

  • Importing video from hdd camera...doesn't work...help!

    Hello-i am not a computer guy, first of all. i just bought an HDD video camera, panasonic SDR-H40P/PC. I have no problem importing photos to iPhoto. However, when I try to import video, the iMovie quits unexpectedly every time. my wife has the same Mac and hers does the same thing. Do I need additional software? Am I just an idiot doing something wrong? There is a page in the camera owners manual regarding Macs, but no software came with it. Our operating system is OSx 10.5.6, whatever that means.
    Any help is appreciated,
    TOm

    I'm not seeing your camcorder listed among the compatible ones on this Apple list:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014#2
    There would be no Mac software with the cam. If it is going to work, it is already built into the iMovie software.
    What does the manual say about use with Macs?

  • CC Trial version won't import video as layers - "Could not complete your request because..."

    I am trying to import a video into Ps CC trial version to make a gif.
    Every time I click file > import > video frames to layers, I get the error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This is before the window to choose what video I want to import even opens. I have not tweaked the preferences and have only had the program on this computer for a day.
    The same thing happens when I open the Timeline view and try to add the video through "Add Media" on there.
    I've rebooted several times, updated my operating system, etc etc. Nothing seems to work.
    Running OS X 10.9.1, i7 processor (which is 64 bit) on a 2013 MacBook Air.
    Any ideas?

    It was already disabled when I checked. I enabled it and tried again, still didn't work. Anything else that might be wrong? i'm getting desperate lol

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

    I have just bought the mac.  I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder.  From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder.  The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer.  I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

    OK, according to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
    your camera is supported by iMovie 9.  Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum.  Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

  • How do I import video off a DVD?

    Is there a way to import video from a DVD directly into Final Cut Pro Express or do I need to download another program in order to do so. The DVDs are no copyrighted they are actually DVD I burned myself. If I do need to download another program which is the best/safest?

    MPEG Streamclip (free) coupled with the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($19, downloadable from Apple, if you don't already have it).
    If the DVD is standard def, use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to *QuickTime > Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC.* If hidef/widescreen, convert it to QuickTime > Apple Intermediate Codec.
