Importing Video - needs rendering

This may have been asked, so I'm sorry if I'm bringing up a constantly asked question. If I am (which I probably am) then could anyone direct me to a link instead of having to answer this questions?
I am importing a video into the program and when I put it in the time line the red bar appears above it indicating it is not rendered. Is there any way I can set it to automatically render when I drag n' drop it in?
thanks.

You should convert your iSight video to DV-NTSC format before bringing it into FCE. There's a free utility called MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) which can do the conversion. Open your iSight video in Streamclip, then export to QuickTime using the DV-NTSC settings:
Compression Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Sound @48kHz (or 32kHz, depending on your Easy Setup)
Frame Rate 29.97
You may also need the QuickTime MPEG Playback Component if you don't have it, a $20 download from Apple. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/) I don't think you need this, as I believe it's only necessary to deal with MPEG2 content.

.MOV IMPORT STILL NEEDS RENDERING?

Working with project shot in hdv and tried importing a .mov file (from google earth).
Two problems:
1. Needs render and takes very long time to do it.
2. Once rendered and viewable, if clip is moved in timeline it needs to re-render.
I'm trying to match 'item properties' before importing, but my copy of AVCware doesn't have the right parameters.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I need some other type of conversion software?
thanks!

1. Needs render and takes very long time to do it.
That's because your clip settings is not matching the sequence settings.
2. Once rendered and viewable, if clip is moved in timeline it needs to re-render.
Again, That's because your clip settings is not matching the sequence settings.
Convert the material into an editing codec like ProRes or DV. Then create a sequence with same settings and the problem will be solved.

Flash Import Video needs DirectShow9 and Quick Time 7

I have Windows XP.
My Flash CS3 Pro says that I need to have DirectShow9 and
QuickTime 7 installed before it will import the .MOV file that I'm
suppose to use in Chapter 1 from the book Foundation Flash CS3
Video.
I have been trying all morning to find DirectShow9 in order
to install it. My book calls it Direct X 9, and I thought I had
installed what I needed from Microsoft but, obviously, I didn't.
Also, I installed Quick Time 7 but 90% of the buttons are
grayed out with PRO over them. QuickTime asks for another $30 to
upgrade to PRO. I was going to do that, BUT, all the reviews say
that the PRO doesn't work - screaming that they wasted their money
for nothing.
Am I stuck in the mud here? Can you help me find where to
download what I need? I would really appreciate some good, honest
answers. This is so frustrating.

I don't know anything about buttons being grayed out with pro
over em. But you need DirectX 9 runtime for flash to decode windows
media files.

system and no trouble here.

HD Clips ALWAYS need rendering when imported??

I am shooting 1280x720 30fps HD on a SANYO Xacti camera. They are shot in mP4 format. I believe I need to convert them PRIOR to importing them into FC Studio. Any suggestions on settings using Compressor?? Or what settings in FCP?? I can preview the clips from the card by selecting the icon and pressing the space bar. Plays beautifully. However, when I import them into FCP I drag them to the timeline and the audio is RED and needs rendering. No biggy. However, when I add camera two footage BOTH audio and video are RED. 5 HOURS!! to render before editing. HELP! I am shooting using H.264 - my FCP settings are Apple ProRes 422 1280x720 30fps 48kHz. and H.264

Your footage is H.264...A non-native editing codec with FCP. This won't work without rendering as your sequence settings differ from your footage. Either convert to ProRes before editing (highly preferred), or make custom settings with H.264 (possible, but not the best way to go).

What Cable do I need to Import Video from a Mini DV Camera?

I have a canon xh a1, it calls for a IEEE1394 cable, I have the new mac desktops, I have no Idea what cable i need in order to import video?
Any ideas?

Or better still - this cable from monoprice.com. Only $5.52 compared to the Belkin cable at $29.95. I use these cables all the time, they are very well made and work perfectly. There's nothing magical about Belkin that makes their cable worth nearly 6x the price of the monoprice cables.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Importing video help! Need Time and date to show up on screen...

SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE AN ANSWER!
Okay, little background... I just got a new Mac book pro lab top. First time apple user. Difficult to learn, but learned fast. I am working with IMovie HD program, got the hang of it. I have a Cannon ZR50 camcorder, mini DVR tape. Camera has DV,S, USB, AV etc.. port outs. Hooked it up to lab top to import video to lab top to edit footage add sound etc... to later burn to DVD via IDVD program
BTW: I used a DV to Firewire cable to load up footage.
PROBLEM I AM HAVING. is when I'm importing my video to the computer, time and date stamp from my camcorder's screen does not show up on Mac screen. It gets lost when importing. How I view it on my camcorder (SHOWING TIME/DATE INFO ON FOOTAGE TAKEN) is how I would like to view it after importing it to lab top to later edit ad sound tracks etc... If I hook up my camcorder to a VHS or TV, to record on tape of footage taken, Time/Date stamp of footage shows up and records on tape with no problem.
I spoke with a lot of people on this issue. Everyone refers me to someone else. I can't get an answer for something in my eyes is so simple. They all said " Why would you want the time and date stamp to show up on your footage anyway" Well I would like it to be that way. Topic got down to three things that might solve problem. 1. Need better video/editing software. 2. Need Digital Analog capture device. 3. Need new camcorder. I've been working on this problem for a day or so. It's getting rough for help. Any information on this problem would be great. If you need any more info on my issue please do not hesitate to Pm me. Thanks

Hi SIZ4SK:
Welcome to discussions!
You can't do that with iMovie but you can with a bit of help from a third party...
What you really need is this free plugin from TriX Software:
DVFileDateCM

Let me know if this helps or not.

Sound import to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and need rendering!!!

Anyone know why an aif sound file from Pro Tools imported to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and needs rendering? It is like FCP is converting it to another freq. when it is 48k already! I do this all the time with NTSC and 23.98 projects, what is up with the 25 frame seq.??
Thanks, Mark

Your audio files must be 48,000 kHz AIFF files if you want to use them in Final Cut Pro.
If the originals are coming from CD's they are 44,100 kHz.
Resample in Soundtrack Pro or convert in QuickTime Player.
Your location says you are in LA. Why are you working in in PAL?
I know that things need to be at 48K this would not matter anyway if it was 44.1 FCP would do the conversion and not make it out of sync in an NTSC Timeline, but a PAL timeline FCP screws with the sound file. The files came from pro Tools, the industry standard should mixing.
I put them through Sound Track Pro and it did not help.
LA is the entertainment center of the world, we send project all over the world.

Need some advise for import video in Flash

Hi guys, i got a problem with importing video in Flash.
Actually I know how to import video in swf
There are 3 ways;
1. loading external video with playback component
2. embed FLV in SWF
3. URL
Ye i know second way is easy and fast but it needs to control everytime when the contents are changed or fixed.
So best way for me and my work is first way
Problem is when i use first way then move full swf file to another pc, just video (in the swf) doesn't play at all.(i'm sure it's from wrong file path)
How to change the content path? I tried so many times but failed.. (just doesnt work and some error message appears on output)
Should I install flash program in another pc then replace all the file?
Please I need your advise
Thanks

I was able to tether my original Verizon Droid using EasyTether without needing to root the phone. The free version wont work with https sites, but its not expensive to buy the full version after you figure out if it will work. Its not fast but seems to work ok.

Help needed: How to import video from Canon Legria Camcorder FS306?

Dear all,
After happily purchasing Canon Legria Camcorder FS306, I realise that my IMOVIE HD could not detect the camcorder when connected to my Macbook pro.
Have 2 questions here:
1. Is it impossible for IMovie HD to detect newer camcorders? Should I then upgrade to IMOVIE09?
2. Currently, Canon Legria Camcorder FS306 is not listed as 1 of the supported camcorders for IMOVIE09. It is one of the newer models. Is IMOVIE09 able to import video from this camcorder now? Or in the near future? Or it may never be supported?
Tks!
Gam

You would need imovie 09 to use this camcorder.
This camcorder is not on the iMovie 09 supported list. However, every Canon camcorder since 2008 has supported iMovie 08 and 09, so odds are good that this one will, too. Odds are good that it works right now. IF you want to know for sure, call Canon. ....or take your camera to an Apple Store and hook it up.
It might be possible to do some manual conversions and continue to use iMovie 6. For example, you could try converting the MPEG2 files to DV using a tool like MPEG Streamclip. You would also need the $20 Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. I find iMovie 09 to be a much better editor, but if you are comfortable with iMovie 06, this might be worth a try for you.

Running on a mac osx 10.7.5 and need to import video from a dvd to edit on final cut X

running on a mac osx 10.7.5 and need to import video from a dvd to edit in on final cut X

I'd try Handbrake. Copy the Video_TS file from the DVD to the Desktop. Then use Handbrake to convert the file compatible with Final Cut X

NEED HELP WITH IMPORT VIDEO FRAMES TO LAYERS!!!!

I'm trying to make GIFs from videos but every time I try importing 'Video Frames to Layers', it keeps telling me I need to download QuickTime 7.1 or higher! So I downloaded it and it DOESN'T DETECT that I downloaded it! So I decided to enable the codec in QuickTime to Photoshop, THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER! So I uninstalled it and reinstalled QuickTime and IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!
WHAT THE HELL? WHY WON'T THIS WORK??? AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Something is blocking the qtserver32.exe and dynamiclinkmanager.exe on your system. These auxiliary components are required to provide access to QT features. turn off your virus scanner, check your firewall etc.
