Importing Videos into LR3

I seem to recall some notes that LR3 will now import video clips into a catalog. It also seems the comments stated you can't watch or edit the clips, but you can at least catalog them in LR.
Tonight I tried importing one, but when I directed Lightroom to the correct folder, it did not recognize the video clip stored there. The test clip was captured on a Canon Vixia HD camcorder and saved as AVCHD in an MTS extension on a PC. Some of the new Nikon cameras are now capable of recording video clips. Not sure what format they are saved in on the cards. Is there something I need to know about importing my videos from a folder on my hard drive?
Is this feature a little ahead of its time and not quite ready? I was hoping to test it tonight and was curious if I double clicked on a clip whether either LR or my Windows system would play the clip.
Thanks in advance,
M. Jackson

In addition to its limited support for video formats, LR 3 also is limited in its ability to handle video metadata -- you can't change the capture time and you can't write metadata (capture time, caption, keywords, rating, etc.) back to the files or sidecars.

  • How to import video into adobe muse?

    how to import video into adobe muse?

    If you want to embed videos in your muse site, without using a service like youtube or vimeo, then you will need to manually upload the video files on the server and use them via the video tag available in html5, HTML5 Video
    To insert the video tags in your muse pages, you will need to use the 'Object -> Insert HTML' option.
    Since this option is not available in Muse, out of the box, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

  • Which is the better way to import videos into FCPX?

    Hello to all. I have recently purchased an iPhone 5 and while importing videos, I could import them directly via the camera import of FCPX which was open at that time.
    Later, when I tried to import a few stillshots, I found that I could not do it directly with FCPX importing into an event: reason being FCPX would not read the still photos. I learnt from the internet that one could import photos/videos from iPhone either through iPhoto or image capture. I tested out both of them and learnt that I could get my phoyos into FCPX via either of them.
    My question is this: is it better for me to import videos into FCPX directly or to first save them on an external HD via image capture? Will there be any effect in the quality of the video in these two different methods of import?
    Thanks in advance.

    You have already pocketed my thanks in advance Tom! The early bird catches the worm! Awake so early? Have a great day.

  • Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

    I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks.  Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom. 
    The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes.  When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
    After reading on various forums I have tried:
    restarting computer (many times)
    uninstalling previous version of LR
    purging video cache
    changing source location
    changing destination and/or import type
    reinstalling LR5.3
    I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3.  They play fine in Quicktime.
    Has anyone else solved this problem?

    Hi InVisionMedia

    So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
    If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
    See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
    Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

  • Problems importing video into Event....

    Hi,
    I've used iMovie loads but recently I've had issues importing video into an event.
    I choose "import", choose the video (from GoPro) and then it takes 2-3 hours to import maybe half of the clips but not all.  I am importing no more than 7 clips at a time and these clips are 17 minutes each.
    Are the clips too big?
    Please help.

  • Importing video into ipad2 iMovie

    How do I import videos into ipad2?

    And yet just another example of how apple-centric limitations frustrate even the simplest functions.  If I can import a video directly into my iPad from my "non-apple" camcorder, and play it... Then I shouldn't have to use iTunes on another computer to not only covert the file, but to import it as well so that iMovie can "see" it!!!
    This even happens when using garage band ON MY IPAD then trying to use the music I created in I Movie ON MY iPAD!!!  You have to save the music to iTunes then connect to a laptop then import the music back to your iPad.
    This is CRAZY!!!!!!!
    Apple... Get your act together and make all this stupid crap stop... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    Samsung Galaxy anyone?  While the video editing app isn't as good as iPad yet, the comparability and functionality blows iPad out of the water... You can actually save to folders!  Watch out apple google is hot on your a$$

  • Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

    How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

    I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

  • Importing Video into Flash Project ?

    Hi, I want to ask you about how can I import video into my Flash Project and make it possible to view ?
    I tried to choose embed FLV but the sound quality is quite shity and the video quality too. Furthermore, It expands the timeline which is too long because my video is quite long too. It said that it can be at least 16000 Frames to run.
    Now I choose Import -> Import Video -> Load External ..... and then I put it on one scene. The thing is that when I test it, it looks like I have to expands the timeline too so that I can play the videos fully. And It will slow down the computer so much when I want to export. Is there any way I can play the video only by just creating one keyframe ?
    Please help me.

    i choose Load -> External and it gives me some FLVPlayback in the library too ... But how I can make it relate to the previous scene and it can play the whole video and then back to the first scene...
    First scene is where people can choose some option that I made of ...
    A is where I link to the scene 3 of my project
    B comes to Scene 4
    C comes to Scene 5
    What I'm stucking right now is how can I made the C choice for people to choose and they can see the videos. I tried to drag the FLVPlayback to the scene 6 and it shows some result. But I think if I want to watch the whole video I need to expand the timeline as much as possible and I really don't want that. Is there any actionscript code or some tips that I can make it possible? Sorry because I'm a newbie so I don't understand your words. Can you explain it more ?

  • 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:

  • Has anyone tried to import video into iMovie from a DSLR camera?  I can't get it to work

    My problem is simple.... as should be the answer!
    I recently tried to import video from a dslr into iMovie but all I get is rubbish.  What am I doing wrong?
    HELP!

    The only simple answer  without more information is RTM for camera and iPad. You are in the iOS forum so you must be trying to input to an ipad. Tell us what camera, what video format and exact destination.

    I will await your review of initial post where I suggested ripping VOBs from the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc in Premiere Elements 11 Windows. I still think that is the preferred approach for what your described.

  • Please help me.  I cannot import videos into itunes library

    I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
