Iphone 5 videos from iPhoto will not import into FCP

Just bought FCP X and tried to import movies from iPhoto taken with my iPhone 5 and get a message that the file format is not supported.  Any suggestions?

To late.  The videos were downloaded into iPhoto and removed from the iPhone.  I actually exported the videos to my desktop then imported them into FCPX without any problem.  It would seem to me that I should be able to import directly.  The video format (in iPhoto) is supported according to the apple web sight.  Any thoughts?

  • PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO WILL NOT IMPORT INTO CLIP VIEWER WHERE MOVIE IS CREATED

    ok...please answer this question...i NEED it to be answered!!!!! When I try to put the Ken burns effect on a photo and then import it into the clip viewer, it will NOT let me!!!! Please H~E~L~P ME!!!!!!!!!
        HELP ME!!!!!

    Welcome to discussions!
    You have not told us enough information to H~E~L~P you.
    We need to know everything about your Mac, hard drive space (look at mine below). Go to "My Settings" at the right of this screen and fill out that information please.
    In the meantime, i'll throw a couple of ideas your way:
    If you are you trying to edit a previously imported image rendered by the Ken Burns Effect, there's an iMovie bug that prevents us from updating the clip when we empty the iMovie trash.

  • .CR2 will not import into  iphoto 08 7.1.5

    I have a few hundred photos taken by a friend that i am trying to import into my iphoto library.
    Getting an unrecognizable file message.
    I shoot on a Canon XSi in RAW and have no issues importing to iphoto, Apature or photoshop....
    her images were shot on a Canon TSi in RAW and will not import into any of my programs.

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

    iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Problems with iTunes 8: NBC .m4v shows will not import into iPhone v2.02

    I am a little confused. I have downloaded some NBC shows that are.m4v format, yet they will not import into my iPhone with iTunes 8. I receive the following error msg in iTunes when trying to sync:
    Example "Mr. Monk Buys a House" was not copied to the iPhone
    because it cannot be played on this iPhone.
    Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to convert shows from iTunes to a different format before I can watch them?
    PS Same error msg occurs with iTunes Podcast .mov format.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, after a little research in the iTunes Support Browser, Apple finally made the answer available.
    Though Apple designs all products in iTunes to play on iPod type devices, the new HD programming will not.
    The programs that are being "given away for free" are being promoted in HD format, and that's where the links on the iTunes page takes you. The iPhone 3G cannot handle HD programming, and thus the error message. (why couldn't they just have said that in the error msg, rather than have me go and look for half an hour. As my mother used to say, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
    A couple of pointers for the free, give-away HD shows from NBC (iTunes way of telling NBC welcome back). These will not work on the iPhone 3G v2.02:
    Mr. Monk Buys a House (HD)
    Merit Badge: Pilot (HD)
    30 Rock: Secrets and Lies (HD)
    Battlestar Galactica, Season 4: He That Believeth in Me (HD)
    etc.
    Yes, if you look close enough in the show description, they are also making these available free in SD. Hope this research saves somebody a headache from buying the wrong programs.
    You're welcome from a friend in Texas!

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

    I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows  The following file could not be imported.  The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
    I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
    Any ideas anyone?
    Wilson

    I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
    Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

  • I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1. My  photos from iPhoto will not open in camera raw

    I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1 in my iMac. My raw photo files from iPhoto will not open in camera raw. The elements screen opens without a photo, but camera raw willnot open. Help.

    You need to tell iphoto to send raw files out of iphoto or it will make its own conversion and send a pre-converted file. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on this checkbox:

  • Movies from my sony 7.2mp camera will not import into imovie?

    hey guys,
    im trying to import my videos from my sony cybershot digital camera into imovie and its mpeg, but further researching this problem imovie is supposed to reformat it automatically. i tried to do an import from "file" and selecting the video but it will not let me select the video, then i tried dragging it from finder into imovie but it just slides right off, THEN i tried to drag it from desktop to imovie and still did not work. if any1 can help me solve this id greatly appreciate it...thanks!

    I just had the same problem yesterday trying to import video clips into iMovie from my Sony Cybershot camera and this is what I learned. iMovie evidently does not support every digital camera format. My clips were also mpeg and start with MOV. Evidently, they need to be converted to another format such as .dv; mpg4 or h.264 - the best quality being the .dv, as I understand it. You can do a web search for Video Converter programs that will do this conversion (some are free downloads). I found that I already had a program on my computer called Roxio Toast Titanium that easily converted my clips to .dv by just dragging them into the video pane and then hitting the Export button. Once the clips were converted to .dv, they imported easily and worked perfectly in iMovie. Good Luck!

  • Bookmarks Safari 5.0.5 will not import into Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS 10.6.8

    I am on Mac OS 10.6.8. When trying to import bookmarks from Safari 5.0.5, they will not import/display into Firefox 17.0.
    I have tried the following from the bookmark menu:
    Import Bookmarks from HTML...
    Import Data from Another Browser...
    No bookmarks display when I click ok for each, even after quitting and restarting firefox.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello nureste, try the next : open Safari> File > Export Bookmarks and save the html file in your choice location, then open firefox, and as you known, Import Bookmarks from HTML... choose the html file with the safari bookmarks.

  • H.264 will not import into DVDSP?

    So I have been searching several discussion forums and the question I have seems to pop up in each of them, but is never answered???
    Simply put, I have a FCP 6 project sequence that is 720p24frame which is an editing timebase of 59.94 with an aspect ratio of 960by720.
    This is an 8.5 minute piece so I know that it will fit onto a regular DVD-R.
    So I go through compressor and compress it into both an MPEG2 and H.264 - each at an HD bit rate.
    Then I set up an HD project in DVDSP and try to import the two. The MPEG goes in fine and burns with no problems. My BlueRay/HDDVD combo player is on its way in the mail so I can't test it, but it will not play in my SD DVD player. Then I try to import the H.264 - It states something to the effect of not a compatible format....
    That is my question - Why will the H.264 not import into an HDDVD project in DVDSP - all of the settings are correct from the initial edit - through compressor - through DVDSP.
    Thank you for anyone who can help - we have a large festival coming up that has the option of 35mm or HDDVDs (we cannot afford a print).

    So...this issue is somewhat solved.
    I have done several exports using the provided H.264 presets then tweaking them each to my own set specifics. There are four places in the formats sections of compressor that have H.264 as a codec - one of these is for iPod and web so I disregarded that one completely.
    I always applied the same settings as to have a control base when doing this experiement - I haven't done a science project in probably 15 years. I also pushed the bit-rates to the highest level.
    After many hours in and out of compressor and DVDSP, I found only one of of the presets loaded properly into DVDSP - the 60min under HDDVD H.264 preset (altered to my higher bit-rate)
    I am still waiting on my player to try it out, but it did burn fine. This is all so strange since all of my own settings (bit-rate) and other data was constant.
    Oh well...at least I've got one test completely burnt.

  • Iphoto will not import photos

    iphoto 11 will see the pictures from digital media but will not import to mac.  Any suggestions on a fix?

    That was a test. It means you're old library needs to be repaired.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Photos albums from iphoto will not show in iweb media section

    Hello
    I have 2 issues. Photo albums that I created in Iphoto will not show in the Iweb media section. Also, all of the photos from half the Photo pages go missing after I update and republish to my site. They still show on the site but the photos are not longer showing in Iweb and have to be added back to the photo pages.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - launch iWeb and try again.
