Flip Video Camera files

Has anyone had any success getting videos created by Flip video cameras onto your Apple TV. I can get them to play in Quicktime but not Apple TV. Format is AVI. Thanks.

AppleTV does not play AVI files.
you need to convert them to the correct format, and then add them to your itunes library.
format will be H.264 (mp4).

Problem importing videos into file-shared library

There appears to be a bug in iPhoto for importing videos in the case where a library is opened via file sharing.
I've posted a bug report with Apple but it might help others to know about this. If I'm mistaken feel free to explain, that would be helpful too.
I have an iPhoto library on a Mac Mini server at home. I often open the iPhoto library on the mini via file sharing from my laptop to edit it.
I can drag and drop photos from my Sony DSC-H55 memory card plugged into my laptop onto iPhoto and they import fine into the file-shared library.
If I do the same with videos I get an error message that they are an unsupported file type.
If I copy the videos to the mini, and open iPhoto locally on the mini, they import fine.
In every other way, working with this iPhoto library via file sharing has been flawless, so this looks like a bug.

Interesting, thanks for the warning, Terence. I guess I assumed error correction would deal with that scenario, but I suppose there are insidious errors that could slip through and result in a mangled library. I do regular backups but still, I might lose that one special priceless photo!
It's easy enough to use screen sharing to operate iPhoto on the mini over wireless. I can transfer files first and then import that way. That would avoid this bug too.
Would you say this applies to other aspects of file sharing too? In other words, should we simply never edit a crucial file on a remote machine connected by wireless?
Where I work we often use SVN over wireless. I wonder if we could damage something while updating the repository.

I am having horrendous problems importing XD-CAM files into Premiere CS6

Please tell me if there is a fix for importing XD-CAM .MXF files into Premiere CS6 6.0.0. Have tried the import and the media browser functions. The paths look like this:
PROAV
     CLPR
     CMPTR
     EDTR
     USERDATA
Let me know how to do this.....

Also, update your Premiere to 6.0.3 on PC, or 6.0.2 on Mac.
And transfer the entire folder structure from media to hard drive without modifications. That includes any Sony transfer utility, just use Windows to copy stuff straight over.
Then use Media Browser as directed previously
Thanks

How to remove first 7 seconds of imported video & audio files

I've imported 2-hour audio & video files (edited in FCP, then taken to Compressor) into my DVDSP project.
Can I now edit out the first 7 seconds of what I imported, before I burn the DVD? If so, how? (I want to remove a title that I should have removed originally in FCP, but didn't. Don't want to wait hours to re-compress the files.)

There is no editing in DVD SP. If you want to edit out the first 7 seconds you will have to do that in FCP.
An alternative is to put a chapter marker at the 7 second spot and then target that. The problems with this is that you might not be able to put the chapter marker on the exact frame you might want, and people can rewind and discover those 7 seconds.

Cant import video from files

I am trying to put a video into I tunes from the computer files. I tried what it sayds in the help section and nothing works. I cant find it no where into the Itunes library or files. Is there something that should be set so it will go into the Itunes or is this just a way for apple to make money.

'i have downloaded iMovie 9.0.2
Did you install iMovie?
Exactly what happens when you try to upload from your camera? Did you read your cam user manual?
Have you tried using iPhoto?
If you did not repair permissions and restarted your computer after installing iMovie, do so now.

Iphone video camera file format

When I used my iphone video camara to record someting, the file used to be saved as mp4 format, but now the video file is saved as mov format. I don't know what happened, but can I go back to mp4?

had issues if I start recording in one mode and then changing it
but if I start in the orientation I want it's good
about HDR then it's a preprossing effect added to the photo
you likely notice it take a bit longer to make the image
imagien that time added between each frames when you record a video
a video is around 30 pictures a secund if each would be delayed that 2-4 sec it take for my photo to be
ready when I use HDR then the whole world would implode

Importing Sony Camera Files?

I have a new Sony DSC HX100V camera and although Elements 9 recognises the camera it wont recognise files, digital photos at this stage. I'm wondering whether there is a plugin I need for these files. Any help would be appreciated.

The latest version of the Camera Raw plugin is available from this page:

which also has a link to the ReadMe file for a listing of the supported cameras.

How can I import an mp4 file from my video camera into my iPad ?

I'm totally new to this iPad world. I would like to import a file from my video camera to edit it in iMovies. I tried adding the file through iTunes, and it appeared to transfer the file to my iPad, but I can't find any way to open the file, not even to play it. Any help would be appreciated.

The time should already be shown on the status bar, but you can't add the day and/or date to it - if you would like to have them then you coul leave feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you want to copy an attachment from an email then you can't do that directly from the Mail app. If the email is still on your provider's server then you should be able to read the email on your provider's site via a browser on your computer and save it from there directly on your computer. Otherwise you will need to copy the file from the Mail app to another app on your iPad via the 'open in' function. Do you have an app on your iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy ? How you then copy the file to your computer will depend upon what the app that you copy it to supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, dropbox etc

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

How do I import a camera video from iphoto to imovie? I went to file, import, camera archives and the video I want I am not able to select. I even tried dragging it from my desktop, but it will not allow me to do so. Please help?

Use File/Import/Movie and navigate to the file.

.THM Sidecar Files Not Included When Importing Video Directly From Camera (Canon 7d)

Lightroom (3.4) has always copied the .THM sidecard files when I have imported video files from my Canon 7d using a card reader. However I am on a trip and have forgotten my card reader so I have been copying directly from the camera and for some reason Lightroom is not copying the .THM sidecar files and thus I am missing all my valuable metadata such as camera, exposure, focal length, ISO, etc. associated with the video files. Very frustrating!
Any ideas?

Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself. Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files. Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

I've imported from a video camera and the files on the laptop are not playing the sound, is there any way to retrieve it?

I have just uploaded a large number of files from a panasonic video camera on to imovie. I have never had this problem in the past, but when I try to play back the files on my laptop there is no sound. I have tried increasing the sound and normalising via the audio settings, and the sound is playing fine on the video camera. Is there anything I can do?

I have also checked that the files are MOV not MPEG etc

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.
