IPhoto not importing T4i movie clips

Just got a canon t4i. Took it out for a test run. Shooting Video only. Came back to import to iPhoto then import to iMovie. I have it set at 24 frames ps. Of the 353 small clips only one up loaded, and I can't find it in iPhoto. The rest were never imported to iPhoto. Window came up that said Error importing image. That's all the info I got. I tried it 8-10 times, every time it said the same thing. I did find one clip, it played back total black in QuickTime.
What's my problem?
Thanks and sincerely
Mike

Are you able to use Image Capture to upload the videos to a folder on the Desktop?

Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
Error during import
The file could not be imported: (-2002)
This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
Thanks!

I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.

Why does iphoto not import my photos from my camera?, why does iphoto not import my photos from my camera?

why does iphoto not import my pictures? is it because i used to have a pc and the camera is set up for that? i photo can view the pictures but will not save them.

Why will IPhoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

Why will iphoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

This feature was removed with iPhoto 11. You'll need to ask Apple why:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
In the meantime you can convert a pdf to jpeg or tiff using Preview.

Remove Child and Event.SOUND_COMPLETE not working inside movie clip. What's the problem?

I have a movie clip that is called to the stage. The user then clicks a button and music plays. As the music starts, another movie clip is called, a simulation of an equilizer. There are several things that should happen:
1) When the user closes the movie clip the music is supposed to stop playing and the equilizer movie clip is removed. What actually happens is the music stops playing but the equilzer movie clip is not removed.
2) When the music is finished playing the equilzer is supposed to be removed from the stage and the play button is reactivated. But none of that happens. When I click on the movie clip a second time equilizer is still there and the play button is not reactivated.
Here's the code that calls the movie clip to the stage.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtons);
function goButtons(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (event.target == Song_bnt)
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        addChild(myPlaySong);
        myPlaySong.x = 304;
        myPlaySong.y = 105;
        //event.stopImmediatePropagation();
Here's the code in the movie clip:
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
var equilizer:Equilizer;
equilizer = new Equilizer();
playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
//Plays music, inactivates buttons, and adds the equilizer to the stage.
PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
function songPageButton(event:Event):void
    playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
    PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
    ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
    addChild(equilizer);
    equilizer.x = 269;
    equilizer.y = 246;
//Removes the equilizer from the stage when the music is complete.
PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
    function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
    PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
    ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
    removeChild(equilizer);
//Removes the equilizer and event listeners from stage and calls dispatch event to close the movie clip.
closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, CloseSong);
function CloseSong(event:MouseEvent):void
    removeChild(equilizer);
    dispatchEvent(new Event("RemoveMSong"));
    PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
    PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
//Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
myPlaySong.addEventListener("RemoveMSong", RemoveSongClip);
function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
    SoundMixer.stopAll();
    removeChild(myPlaySong);
Any thoughts?

I figured out the problem. Here's how I reorganized the code (all in one frame).
//Code for Ray Jay song.
var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
//Plays the song.
myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
function songPageButton(event:Event):void
    playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
    playRayJaySongChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = true;
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
    myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
//Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
myPlaySong.closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RemoveSongClip);
function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
    SoundMixer.stopAll();
    removeChild(myPlaySong);
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
    myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
    playRayJaySongChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
//Resets all of the movieclips to their orginal state.
function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
    myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
Thanks all for your suggests and input.

Video fading in, but not out in movie clip.

Hi.
I need to run a video which I can turn off and on on top of other flash content.
Since I also need to add sub titles I decided to import the video clip into a movie clip. The movie clip now has as many frames as the video.
I added the subtitles by keyframing a text line in the movie clip and synched it up with the movie. (this was not real easy..)
I placed an instance of the movie clip on my main stage in frame 10. I added an on and and off button that simply would take you to a later frame without the movie clip instance, and back to frame 10 again if you want to see the video again. This worked well.
To make the transistions elegant I wanted to fade the video in and out. So on the main stage in frame 10 I placed this action script:
(+ gave my movieclip the instance name mc)
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween (mc,"_alpha",Strong.easeIn,0,100,2,true);
which nicely fades the video in when the playhead gets to frame 10.
There is another part of the script that should be able to tell the upcoming end of the movie clip and fade it out:
myTween.onMotionFinished = function () {
new Tween (mc,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,0,2,true);
This however I can not get to work:
1) If I place this code in frame 10, the video first fades in but immideately fades out again.
2) I tried to put the code 15 frames from the end of the movie clip, and that did not work.
3) I tried to put the code 15 frames from the end of the movie clip and add _parent. and that did not work either.
Can this be made to work, and if so how?
If not, please let me know if you have any other proven approach to suggest.
ggaarde

Hi Ned
This does not work for me.
Again the instance of the movieclip is on the main timeline in frame 10 with stop action
I have put the code you suggested in frame 13 of the main time line. also with a stop action.
Then in the movieclip I have put this code approx 100 frames from the end of the clip:
_parent.gotoAndPlay(13);
How else would he main movieclip know when to start the fadeout?
The myTween.onMotionFinished = function should maybe detect it, but i have not had luck using it. The only time it works is like described in my first post, but it triggers right away and fades out as soon as it is done with the fade in.
Is there a way to tell it on which frame in the mc it should start the fade out?

IPhoto not importing or is it?

Everytime I open iPhoto, i get an error message that says: 38 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would I like to import them.
When I click "Yes", it doesn't import anything. This message repeats itself twice everytime.
When I click "No", it says. The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/brad/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_14. It repeats a second time and says: The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/brad/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_16.
I have a list of folders where it keeps creating them over and over. How do I get this to stop?
Thanks for you help!

I just got some help on this. The answer to this problem is inside my iPhoto Library is a folder called "imports>masters> and several sub folders. Most were empty; however, I found 38 "Locked" short .MOV files there. I did a simple drag and drop to the desktop and deleted the folders in Masters. Problem solved.

Cannot import Quicktime movie clips into i-movie 08

How do you get QT movie clips from a Sony Digital Still camera which has a movie mode on it - into i-movie )08 ?
I copied the movies in MPeg format onto an external HD (imported from PC Win Vista) and then they became QT movie clips. They just will not import into i-movie >

I am a novice but I downloaded Perian software which allowed me to usemy Flip videos in avi format in iMovie.

Having trouble importing a movie clip in iM9

I am having trouble getting a video clip I made into iMovie 9.
I recorded this video clip on my Android cellphone.   When I uploaded it into my computer, it came up on my desktop with the tag .mp4. I found that I could not select it for importing into iMovie, and suspected that iMovie doesn't like the .mp4 tag. So I opened up QuickTime and converted the clip into a movie with the .mov tag. The new converted movie's thumnail correctly showed up on my desktop.
I then opened up iMovie and opened up my project, complete with the Event Library open. I did File>Import>Movies and choose my clip.   I got the normal visual and aural indications of a successful import, but the clip did not show up in my project. In fact it did not show up anywhere in iMovie.
I'm wondering what I need to to do find this clip or at least do something else so that I can put it into my project.   Thanks!

More info: I pulled up Finder>Movies>iMovie Events>My Project>iMovie Cache> and my clip was there in fine fettle.
But I still can't find a way to get it to appear in my project's Event Library, which is what it should do, once I've imported it. (I believe.)

SUDDENLY I PHOTO 6.0.6 DOES NOT IMPORT MY MOVIES FROM CANON SD 450.

Suddenly I have a problem importing the movies taken by my canon sd 450 into iPhoto 6.0.06. I don't remember if I had imported any others after updating iPhoto, but I have never had this problem before. I tried using Image Capture to bring in the AVI's, but they imported, but iPhoto would not import them, and Quicktime could not open them, saying that Quicktime could not "parse" the movie.
Any help?

Some things to try
1. Check that you have the latest version of Quicktime - it's 7.1.5
2. Check the Canon site for updated drivers for your Camera
3. Try installing Perian

Not Able to Move Clip

Hello All,
I'm working on an iMovie '11 project consisting of an assortment of short-length clips (most between 2-10s) and each time I try and move the portion I selected from the event menu, the select box disappears and I am not able to transfer it to the project. I have tried the prescribed click-and-hold method to only limited success (90% of the time the clip de-selects) and it has become extremeley frustrating. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way to move clips?
Thanks so much.

try known good content. You can download quicktime sample files here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
Try to move one of these into a project. If they were then unfortunately it is your content that is the problem.
open up another user on your mac. Import a clip into iMovie in this user and try to add it into a project.
If it works in a new user iMovie is fine. Your issue can be one of several things. Fully quit iMovie. What I would do is clear all caches found in your ~/library. Move all com.apple.iMovieapp files from ~/library/preferences to your desktop. Launch iMovie and try again.
If it doesn't work in a new user, reinstall iMovie.

Buttons not working in movie clips

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.
This is frustrating!! Can anyone help???

It shouldn't matter which layer things are on. If they are separate movielcips, one should not impact another. What version of actionscript are you using? Do any of the movieclips have mouse interactive code assigned to them?

Button not working in Movie Clip

I'm building a small 'table builder' app for a client. This
is my first major project in flash and I've encountered something I
cannot figure out for the life of me.
In the .fla below there's a movie clip 'scroller' it has
buttons in it which load .png's to the main stage. Some of the
buttons work, some don't.... I can't figure out why. Even when I
duplicate a button sometimes it doesn't work.??? If I take a button
that's not working in the movie clip and cut/paste onto the main
timeline it ALWAYS works. I've been pulling my hair out over this
for the last two days . I have even started the whole project from
scratch just to try and find out where I went wrong... but to no
avail..... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm stuck on a
hump and I need some help to get off of it.
Here's a link to my file. I've stripped away all the styling
elements so it should be pretty clean cut when you see it. Thanks
for any help or guidance!

A few errors: Scene 1 frame 1 Actions layer. You are
referring to buttons inside of the scroller, and you don't have
too. They aren't doing anything. All you need on that frame is:
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
infoLoaded = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
infoTotal = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
infoField.text = percentage+"%";
if (percentage>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
infoField._visible = false;
Then on the Scroller you have that function again. Remove it
from the scroller, as it does nothing there. Inside of the scroller
all you need is code to attach png files from pressing the buttons.
Make sure each button has a unique instance name, which isn't the
case right now. You have like three buttons called imgbtn1. Fix
that.

Font not consistent in movie clips

Hi,
Can't sort this out, I've got a movie clip where I've used the embedded text option (static text) it looks fine but in another MC (same .fla) I use the same Font (embedded) but it looks different !! I've checked the setting in the text properties but cannot get it to look the same.
My set up is, Flash Pro CS5 running on Win 7 64 bit.
Can someone help me out here please?
Thanks, Pete

Animated drop down buttons not working in movie clip

Hi,
I am working on this site: (AS2)
http://www.steamandclean.com/Index_w_1.html
I have two types of drop down menu. One under Commercial and one under Technical
The buttons are movie clips. The drop downs are also movie clips that start in frame 2 and are triggered on rollover.
The child buttons are buttons living on the drop down movie clips. They are set to getURL
As you see they are not willing to neither link to any url or will they run their move clip animation. One is a button and one is a movie clip.
The left movie clip has a mask, but it makes no difference if I remove the mask . It also has a emboss filter and no difference is I take that away either.
All of it is in one flash movie right now, but I will be splitting it up in a master navigation movie and individual swf's soon.
Right now I have the main movie, then the button MC then the dropdown MC and in the drop down MC I have placed either a animated (button) MC or a button. So it nested in nested in.......
In both cases I scripting the child buttons like this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
on (release) {
getURL("http://steamandclean.com");
I have also tried to use
_parent.getURL and _root.getURL in stead of just get URL, but it does not work.
The drop down buttons seem to be buried. In the left side the whole drop down panel seems to act like a link?
What am I doing wrong?
Can you help?
ggaarde

Hi Ned
Thank you for your reply again.
I figured it out.
Your reply prompted me to have my main button on rollover to go to a frame number on the main time line and then move the content of the drop down movie clip to that frame.
The drop down panel now work and the child buttons animation now work as well. I just had to find a way to make the drop down panel disappear on rollout. Since I could not script the actual drop down panel I created three skinny invisible buttons and placed them on the right, left and button of the drop down panel. I scripted them to go back to frame 1 on both rollover and rollout. Done.
See the result there:
