Is there Anyway to Import XDCAM EX1 videos into CS6 without Conversion ?

Hello Guys,
I have to edit some footage which was shot on XDCAM EX1. Im using CS6 on an IMac. Whenever i try to import the footage i get the error " the file has no audio or video stream". So i went to google for the solution. I came across a few posts (all of them were exactly the same) which said that I have to convert the footage. The problem with this is that no matter how expensive or professional the converter is, there will be some loss in quality. Please advice me what should I do ? Quality is the highest priority for me. I do have FCP X as well which picks up the EX 1 footage but it does not recognize the footage from my Sony FS100 ( i need to edit footage from both these cameras in one timeline and sequence ). Other than this i do have windows available as well with Adobe Premiere cs4,5,5.5. and 6.

Copy the BPAV directory and all subdirectories from the SxS card to a harddisk. Open the BPAV directory in the Media Browser and import the clips from there. The EX1 creates MPEG2 clips in a MP4 wrapper.

Is there anyway to import my file title like img_001 into my file info so it will show up in my meta data. I have 300 images and I was wonder if I could batch process them...

Is there anyway to import my file title like img_001 into my file info so it will show up in my metadata?

you can re-number files as you import
you may need to a test of a few un-important files
click the re-name file panel >>tick>>template>>click on arrows>>edit and that will take you the customize panel
add image name like "img"
then add numbering I have only used the first one (import)
make sure you add two "00" so they stay in order
should look like img-001
bugga of a number tool imo; bridge is easier/better
you could also rename in windows or bridge or other programs before importing BUT ONLY IF THE FILES HAVE NOT BEEN IN LR ALREADY. Sorry to yell thats important as you most likely know
Yell if that doesn't make sense

Import photos and video into different folders

Hi, is there any way to import photos and videos into seperate folders?
I use lightroom to manage my photos and videos, but the videos are much larger so I prefer they are stored in a different location.
I can import them together and drag the photos to a new folder, but this does not create the same folder heirarchy as importing them would.
Currently I import once for photos and onece for videos, but I'd prefer to just "import"
Thanks!

Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

Hi there,
I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
Thanks for your help

Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
Cheers

How to import a .mp4 video into Flash?

I have not been able to import an .mp4 video into flash 8.
The video simply doesn't show up in the import box
when I go through file - import. Is there a way to get flash
to recognize the .mp4 format? Do I have to convert the video to
another format? If so, how would I do that?

You can only import what's on your import file format type
list.
Which is no mp4 for flash 8.
For video editing, google... there are countless solutions,
from super
expensive shareware to not so expensive basic tools... Seldom
any freeware
when comes to video editing tools.

DI imported an mpeg4 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and the Precision Editor is grayed out and I can't edit. Why??

I imported an mpeg34 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and I am unable to edit it. Precision Editor and Clip Trimmer are grayed out. Any idea why this is happening?

Did you get any joy with answering this?
My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

Is there anyway to import dvd video to the computer?about area code?

Hi
I was trying to watch a japanese DVD that i bought long time ago with the computer, and the dvd player that was installed on the computer said that the since the area code of the dvd is different, i had to change the player's code to number 2, and i would have only 4 opportunities to change the area code. Is there anyway i could import the video file to the mac so i won't have to put the dvd in and use up my opportunity to change the area code? or is there anyway to increase the number of opportunities to change the area code?
i know that this question is not related to idvd program-.-but couldn't find anyhere to post tis question. thanks!!!!!

Hello lovekorea,
Unforunately, your answers are no and no. The only course you have is to change the settings and rip the DVD then change settings back, but you will lesson the opportunities to change. There is no way that I know of to increase the number of times you can change the settings, unless there is a hack somewhere, but this is not the forum to find one. You can burn the ripped DVD through Toast's copy function (if you have a DVD burner, of course) and this will make it region free.
I'm afraid there's no good news here.

I would like to know if theres anyway to make your photolibrary videos invisiable ?

I tried using the movie library in which i added local videos with itunes. It worked the video open just not in my app , they opend in the video library. So i had to use the Photo library to store my videos locally so they would play in the app.
The problem i am running into is the sharing of my videos. When i tried using the video library the videos wherent shared which was awesome but the videos didnt want to open in my app, that was the problem.
So this brings me to my 2 questions
Q1 Can i make the videos in my photo library invisable or lock the app somehow to prevent my videos from being taken?
note: someone told me that if i added the videos with itunes , without regertering a itunes account. I could add them all and when someone tried to plug itunes in they would require the itunes account that was used.. but that doesnt help the sharing. All the videos have to be local & there will be a few ipads with this app, but not in my hands so i cant just password it.
Q2 If i use the video library , how do i get the videos to play in my app?
anyone have any suggestions

Likely yes for iTunes purchases. It depends upon where you are. See:

When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos". It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:
".mov" file
dimensions:   1280 x 720
codecs: H.264, AAC
Color Profile:   HD (1-1-1)
Audio Channels: 1

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).
