IPhone 6 plus videos choppy when imported to iMac

all of my videos from my iPhone 6 plus are choppy when I import them to iPhoto. They play fine on phone and the choppy parts occur at same spots of playback as if file is corrupt. I tried playing videos in quicktime and opening in iMovie. anyone have same issue? OS X 10.9.5, iPhone 6 plus

So I figured out that Mavericks was not the problem. It still occurred using Yosemite. It played a short video at 60 when I posted last just fine, but wasn't fixed. The problem may lie in your video card not being able to support 60 fps. Its not a common format. I have no problem playing video recorded at standard 30 fps from iPhone. I've read iMovie does not support 60 fps, I don't know why it lets you import it. I only film 30 fps now and it works okay. I noticed that any hiccups in project smooth out on created file.

  • Thumbnails do not match video content when imported

    My thumbnails do not match video content when imported. They assume the look of the first video imported into an event, while showing correct source content when skimmed through. Also, audio for every video clip I import is changed to that of the first clip imported in an event. Very awful to realize only when you've just imported every video you've made. Any thoughts?
    Also, my source for clips is an external OneTouch drive, don't know if that plays into the import problem.

    Is your Event source list visible on the bottom left of your screen? You should see all your events there.
    There is a button at the extreme lower left of the imovie window which allows you to show or hide the event list. Make sure that it is in show position, so you can navigate to your other events.

  • IPhone 6 plus videos won't clear

    Hello All,
    My son's iPhone 6 plus shows 408 videos and his storage shows full however we've deleted all photo's and videos from his device.  He's on iOS 8.2
    He uses the GoPro app for most of his videos.  We've deleted the app and the folder under his photos that used to contain them.
    Any thoughts on how to clear this up?
    Thanks....

    Hi McJohn1024,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your son's iPhone. If you are having an issue with a mismatch in the reported storage/number of photos & videos between iOS on your iPhone and iTunes on your computer, you may want to make sure you have a backup of the iPhone, then try the following troubleshooting steps (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps are also helpful for storage reporting issues):
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

  • IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

    How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
    I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
    When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
    When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
    Thank you!

    stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
    to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
    but..
    if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
    if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
    if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
    so, what source, what delivery...?

  • Iphone 6 plus screen frozen when downloading movies from itunes

    My iphone 6 plus screen froze up when I tried to rent/download 2 movies on iTunes. I did  not have enought free space to accommodate I guess, so instead I tried downloading it on my iPad since I had more storage space...but when I tried to rent it on my iPad instead, iTunes says I already rented it... Will I be paying for the two movies I rented since I dont have enough space to watch it? And how do I unfreeze my screen?

    Hello there, Zara2aj.
    When renting movies on your iOS device, the following Knowledge Base article explains where to locate it and the availability of that rental on other devices:
    FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Where can I find movies that I rented?
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it. Follow these steps:
    Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Apple TV:
    2nd or 3rd generation: Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    1st generation: Go to Movies > Rented Movies.
    Where can I watch movies that I rented?
    Mac or PC
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later)
    iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
    TV using Apple TV
    Watch your movie on the device you used to rent it. If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • IPhone 6 plus video files

    To those of you who have iPhone 6 plus phones, how big are the video and still photo files?  Video in MB /Min. ?

    mm..would love to have someone respond to this. I guess this is not unique to me, lots of others must have issues with finding files on their iPhones.

  • Video missing when importing Nikon V1 movies

    When importing movies in FCPX from a new 1-series Nikon V1 camera only the audio is captured, not the video.  The same files (video and audio) play fine in Quicktime and are also captured without problems (although very slowly) in iMovie.

    Hi I have bought the Nikon V1 and use it with the 10-100 Vr PD lens. I have just come back from a Skiing Holiday which gave me the opportunity to Test the camera.
    I also use a Panasonic AG AF 100 Pro Video camera also
    Due to size and weight I only took the V1 only
    When I watched the replay on a HD television I was blown away by the quality of this little camera Definition in snow conditions were incredible, fast focus ease of use and LIGHTNESS!
    I would compare the cameras as equal, although there are more things you can do with a Panasonic but at 5 times the price
    So anybody considering this camera the V1, don't be put off, I am sure the market will soon make the appropriate converter which will solve the current problems

  • IPhone 4 original video resized when sending MMS :-(

    Hello,
    I was just unhappily surprised upon finding out that the original HD video I shot of my baby was resized to a lower quality when I sent it via MMS. The lower quality video was later imported into iPhoto. Is there a way to prevent the automatic resizing of the original video? I couldn't find a switch for it in Settings.
    Thanks,
    Ira

    For an HD video that is larger than the overall email message size limit to be sent and received via email, you can get a YouTube account if you don't already have one and upload the video to YouTube with your YouTube account in full size and resolution - which must be done when connected to an available wi-fi network for HD video. When the upload is finished, you can notify others via email that the video is available on YouTube to be viewed with a direct link to the video.
    If you don't want the video available to the public, you can select Unlisted for the video so only those with the link can view it, or you can make the video Private so only specific YouTube users can view the video.
    The overall message size limit for MMS is quite small, which was/is a poor man's way for cellular carriers and cell phone manufacturers to provide very limited email exchange with a cell phone - before there were any smart phones or way before phones in the smart phone category became mainstream, but SMS/MMS is a cash cow for cellular carriers which they make a fortune with.

  • Flashing/noisy line at top of video clip when importing

    Hi,
    I am running into a strange problem when importing from my video camera. The top scan-line (or two) of the imported video clip is flashing! If anyone knows the reason for this, or has a solution to get rid of this problem altogether, please let me know! (its the first time I've ever tried importing!)
    The workaround is to manually crop the top of the video, which I cant really do in imove for free? and would mean having to edit each clip...there goes onestep iDVD
    I have a sony tvr310 digital 8 camera and am importing using firewire on my imac.
    g5 imac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   sony tvr310 digital 8 camera

    Analog-to-DV conversion adds narrow black borders to the left & right (and some analog "head switching" noise to the bottom).
    If you view the output on a TV, then the overscan will automatically crop the borders out. But if you view the output on a computer monitor, you might want to crop them out. You can do this with MPEG Streamclip ($0):

    My TRV320 D8 doesn't have such lines so your problem sounds strange. Have you tried to clean the camcorders heads?

  • Poor Video quality when importing from SONY DCR-SR100

    I am brand new to Mac and iMovie and FCE. One of the reasons I switched to Mac was frustration over poor video output from Windows based video editing programs. When importing video from the SR100 into iMovie and then iDVD, the DVD quality is noticeably poorer than when the camera is connected directly to the Plasma TV. I have been reading these forums and loaded MPEG Streamclip and purchased the Quicktime MPEG2 Download, but I still can't get the video output to look as good as the camera. I obviously have some learning to do, but is there any hope of achieving equal quality output from a DVD as straight from the camera? Is there a good source of information/textbook on this topic? The biggest improvement comes from using the "de-interlace" option in MPEG Streamclip, but the overall quality of the video appears washed out and somewhat blotchy compared to the direct camera footage.

    Welcome to the macworld! What imovie does incredibly well is make it easy to create fun and interesting movies. I have used both for several years and only recently with some packages such as adobe premiere elements has the windows world kept up with the mac with respect to ease of use! And even know the packages are still not as easy as imovie. Anyway, with respect to your post and getting the video quality to the best possible output quality using DV material, you are on the right path. The best workflow is to use streamclip and de-interlace prior to editing in imovie. I am not sure if you are doing that yet with your workflow. Yes, its an extra step, but it is well worth it to avoid imovie dropping a field upon export. You can play around with the adjustments to increase contrast, color and et al on the adjustment button. Another option is shooting progressive.
    To set expectations, it is second generation footage the minute its imported. However, you should be still getting very good results. FCE gets footage closer to the original footage since it is a true DV editor and uses both fields, but imovie is still preferred by me because of how easy it is to skim, tag and find the material you want then easily do transitions and ken burns for photo's. Fantastic. The way i look at it....watching footage straight from the camera is the worst quality you can get -- It's like listening to your spouse talk and talk and talk and never get to the point until you forget what that point was....editing gets the footage straight to the point....thats quality!

  • Video quality when importing with letterboxing checked

    If I import mini dv shot in 16:9 using the letterboxing during import, does it degrade video quality? What settings are best when importing 16:9 mini dv?
    Thanks!

    Set the project as DV Widescreen before importing. Do not tick 'Automatic Letterboxing'.

  • IPhone 6 plus stopped uploading Photo's to iMac Photo's or iCloud

    Hi, about 3 weeks ago my iPhone 6 plus on iOS 8.3 stopped syncing photo's to iCloud or the Photo's App on [latest Yosemite] iMac. I also have an older MBP with Yosemite and that is showing same as iMac which suggests iPhone may be culprit?
    Any ideas?
    I do love my Apple gear but ever since Photostream the whole iCloud Photo thing just hasn't worked consistently for me.
    Regards

  • Iphone 4s will not charge when plugged into imac

    For a while now, my iphone 4s will not stay connected to the iMac.  It will register when I plug it in to the USB port, but after a minute it will just drop connection.  I tried to backup it into iTunes but it kicks me out when the connection is lost.  Any suggestions?

    if your issue is not being solved even after trying with different usb ports or a different cable just follow this process..
    when your device is plugged to your imac it asks you whether to Trust your computer or Dont trust ->you just click on trust then it starts supporting
    or else you can look at this iOS: 'Trust This Computer' alert

  • Why is my 60i video pixelated/choppy when imported into Final Cut Pro X?

    I just bought a brand new Nikon D5200 to get into some indie film making. I put together a quick short the night I got it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN8OAprluOI) and filmed in 1080p at 24fps. It turned out great, footage looked great, was ready to test out the 1080 60i they put on it. Again, the footage looked great but only on the camera this time...Every time I go to import it into FCP X it comes up pixelated and choppy but if I'm just watching it in Quicktime its smooth and looks fantastic. Is there anything I can do to get my 60i footage imported into FCP X and stay true to the quality? The codec it's importing on is
    h.264 and when it gets into FCP X it switches over to it's true nature of 29.97i so i just don't know what the problem can be!!
    HELP PLEASE!!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Zach.
    How did your progressive footage wind up in an interlaced video? (Who is "they"?)
    Typically, one wants to edit as close as possible to what was shot. The cases where progressive needs to be converted to interlaced would typically be where one needed to match delivery requirements in broadcast. The conversion to interlaced is almost certainly going to introduce "issues".
