Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?

Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?
I can import the Raw file successfully but cannot see any edits that were applied in Capture One. Im assuming no but just checking.

Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own proprietary processes and profiles for rendering the raw data.
They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and store the changes to an .xmp file or to a catalog file like Lightroom.

Is there a way to import a DVD into iMovie where it can be re-worked and then saved as a new DVD?

I have converted several VHS video tapes to DVD's and want to work with them in iPhoto to create better versions.
How do I import the DVD files into iMovie?

This tip will show you how to import your home movie on DVD into iMovie 11 for editing. It will not work on commercial, copy-protected DVDs. (Ripping commercial DVDs is against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions).
DVDs are encoded by iDVD into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD into a codec that iMovie can edit. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically, quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to the DVD.
6) Drag the Video_TS folder from your DVD and drop it into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9) Optional steps.
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like. If you don't know which is best, try a short clip both ways. I usually do not deinterlace.
9b) Optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/Movies... and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

What is the best way to import m2ts files into iMovie?

I have spent the afternoon reading various forums about converting m2ts files into iMovie. Transferring the files back onto the HD Sony Handicam is not an option. I therefore need to somehow convert the files as they stand. There seems to be 2 main options to convert files from .m2ts to .mov:
1. Download MPEG Streamclip; drag clips into window; export to QuickTime and choose Apple Intermediate Codec.
2. Download Clip Wrap ($50) to rewrap m2ts files into mov files.
It seems that option 2 is likely to be quicker and easier. Is this other people's experience? Any feedback would be extremely helpful.....I am a fairly new Mac user.
Cheers.

MPEG Streamclip cannot do m2ts files.
Your options are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. Both cost money but should work fine.
I believe Karsten Schlüter has posted some free alternatives on his website. Let me see if I can find his link.
Here it is. http://sites.google.com/site/karstenschluter/mts-to-mov
You should only need to do this for your existing files. For any files you shoot in the future, you can import them into iMovie directly from your camera, or easier still, from your SDHC card.
A good tip is to create an archive of your clips so that you have the original clips along with the original folder structure. That way you will not have to use ClipWrap or Voltaic on future shoots. You will find the Archive function on the iMovie Import screen when your camera is attached. I am in the habit of 1) creating an archive. 2) Importing to iMovie from the Archive. 3) Making a backup copy of the archive off-site 4) Only then, reformat the camera to clear it out for the next shoot.

Is there a way to import .obj files into Motion so that motion can see the object as a 3D object?

I would like to import 3D objects with .obj file extensions into Motion. Is there a plug in or add on that allows you to do this? Is there any way of getting Motion to recognise 3D images? Other programs such as Adobe's After Effects (AE) achieves this easily and allows you to manipulate the image in 3D space.

Importing AVI file into iMovie

I converted an .m4v file (13m31s long) to an .avi file so I can import it into iMovie for editing. All of this completed, I opened iMovie, went File > Import > Movies > ___.avi file. It showed the importing progress, and once it was completed nothing showed up anywhere! I tried 3 times, restarted my computer, updated iMovie, NOTHING! Please help :[

Yes I did try to import the .m4v file first. I used Prism to convert the video file to AVI. I am not entirely sure how to answer your question about the codec, but I believe it is an MPEG-4 ?

Is there a way to import PDF files?

Hello
I am using RoboHelp HTML Version 5.0.2 and I have encountered problems importing PDF files. I have tried all the various options but they all loose the original format. My PDF files can range from one to five pages. Is there a way to import PDF files?

Check the RoboHelp HTML's help. In the Index, type "import" and select the "PDF files" subentry from the "Importing" entry.
Read the "Importing PDF files" topic; see also the link to "Tips for importing PDF files" in which one of the tips is:
Why is my imported PDF file displaying incorrectly?
PDF files can display certain font families that HTML cannot display. Consequently, in rare instances fonts contained in a PDF document may not convert correctly when imported into HTML.
Good luck,
Leon

Is there a way to Import EPA file using SDM?

Hi,
is there another way to import EPA files in the portal NW04S?
I do not have access to import in the system administration.
Thanks
Jean Seguin

Never tried but, i think SDM does take SDA's also. nevertheless,
import EPA into NWDS as a DC, deploy it to the server through NWDS.
snap....i am sorry, its an EPA file. EPA file can be directly imported in the server and does not require to be through SDM.
Go to Security Admin > Transport > Transport Packages > Import .... and follow the instructions there.
use client / server based on where your EPA file is located. and upload and import.
Regards,
Nitin

I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen... Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen... Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account,
What exactly did you do?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

I have a million photos I never intend to use in a Premiere Elements 8 production. Using the PE8 "Organizer," is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

I do not use Organizer, so may be missing something, but I would guess that one could Sort By, and choose File Type. Remember, Organizer is for the system, and does not reflect what is Imported for use in a Project - two different things. In lieu of Organizer, I use Adobe Bridge, installed with some of my other Adobe programs.
I would also assume that Organizer does things via folders. If one does not have any aspect set to auto, I would think that it would ONLY do thumbnails for certain folders, as directed. If one has their stills in other folders, then only AV Assets would be seen by Organizer.
Maybe some Organizer guru will have better directions for you. I am just thinking here and speculating.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

If you want to import lots of calendar events into Numbers, the general way to proceed would be to:
export in CSV (character-separated values) from iCal (Calendar)
import the CSV into Numbers.
1. can be accomplished via AppleScript (perhaps in an Automator workflow) or, perhaps more convenient, a dedicated exporter app such as Export Calendars Pro or competitors.
2. Importing into Numbers is usually as easy as File > Open and choose the CSV file.
