Lightroom 5 won't transfer video metadata.

Moving from Lightroom 4 to 5, and none of the metadata from my video files will transfer. Is there any hope? I'm hoping there's something simple I'm missing. Otherwise it's a bit of a show stopper for me.

Updated to LR5.2RC. After importing the folder containing 3 video files and 20 CR2 photos into LR5.2RC I had to wait until the folder had finished building the mov preview (which took a while since I was importing from a network NAS drive). I could then move my mouse pointer over the thumbnail and see the movie action.
So then I clicked on one of the mov thumbnails and the video opened in Loupe view and played fine. Went back and check my older video's and they also played fine.
I like to see my video and photos in LR because it helps me place the photos relative to the overall scene shot in the mov. I do my editing in Power Director 11 and then I save as an mp4. I looked at a few of my mp4's and they also seemed to play fine in LR5.2RC
Let me know it you try this and it works for you.

ITune won't transfer Video Podcast (TED talk video) to my ipod

Hi,
I had a problem lately: iTune will not transfer "TED talk" podcast video, it was working before. All my other podcast sync (and I verified that "TED talk" was checked in the sync tab) even when I transfer them manualy it won't copy to my iPod. The videos play on my computer. I tried to unsuscribe and resubcribed, nothing work. I really don't know where the problem come from but it seem that other had the same problem on windows...
iTune 9.0.2 (25)
Mac OsX 10.4.11
iPod classic 60 Gig (1.3)

Me too. I've read the work around, but it is kind of a PITA.
Right click on the video, click on covert to ipod, it gets converted and shows up under Movies in iTunes...drag and drop into the ipod.
It works for me, but is a problem.

Canon camcorder won't transfer video

Hi everyone,
I have to admit that I'm not the most tech savvy person out there. I bought my first camcorder. It's a Canon Vixia HF 20. I filmed some video and wanted to transfer it to the iMac. I turned on the camcorder and attached the supplied USB cable from the camcorder to the iMac and activated iMovie, but nothing happened. I played with the import option under file but nothing happened as well.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Your camcorder is fine with iMovie 09. My suggestions are two;
1)Canons sometimes take a little bit of effort to connect. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting your camcorder. Try shutting down iMovie and then turning it back on. I have a Canon hf100 usb camera also and love it. I just put up with the odd frustration of it sometimes not recognizing the connection.
2) Click on the camera icon in the main iMovie interface (middle, extreme left). See if your camera is "seen" my iMovie. If not, try disconnecting and reconnecting the camcorder.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

"Can't Read Or Write to disk" Video Won't Transfer To Ipod

I have transfered videos to my ipod in the past but I have two tv shows from the Itunes story that won't transfer.
They are in the correct mpeg 4 whatever format. My itunes is the most resent version, but for some reason I keep getting the same error.
"Cannot Read Or Write To Disk".
HELP??!!
Windows XP

I've got this problem too. My 5g iPod 30gig syncs after about 3 minutes with iTunes then after loading songs and videos after 10 minutes i get the same message your getting - "Can't Read Or Write to disk". I think theres some kind of USB2 conflict or something. All my other USB devices work fine. All my drivers and software is up-to-date.

I am able to transfer my photos from my iPone 4s to my PC with Windows Vista but it won't transfer my videos? Does anyone know how to do this?

I am able to transfer my photos from my iPone 4s to my PC with Windows Vista but it won't transfer my videos? Does anyone know how to do this?

I have Vista (don't laugh) and my videos are transferred over when I plug in my phone. They don't open up in Winodws Picture Viewer though.
They are under my Photos, under the date created by the sync. Do a search I'm sure you'll find them.

Lightroom: Capture time for videos imported from iphoto is not showing in metadata

Hi, I imported all my photos and videos from iphoto to Lightroom recently using the iphoto import plugin. I think all my photos were imported but I noticed that all my videos have no capture time, so they became grouped together in my collections. But I think I can still see their capture time in the "grey text" in each photo. Why did this happen and how do I resolve this issue? I really want my capture times to be in the video metadata and also want to see my videos in the right chronological order with my videos. Strangely, videos imported into Lightroom directly from my camera SD card do not have this issue, only the ones imported from iphoto do. Thanks!

LR does not properly handle video metadata in general, and in particular it often botches capture time. Sometimes this works: Select one video, do Metadata > Edit Capture Time, and then click Change All (without actually changing Corrected Time). If that sets the capture time to the correct time, then you can select all the problem videos, do Metadata > Edit Capture Time, and click Change All. If you have a small number of videos, you can manually correct the capture time using Edit Capture Time.
Please see this thread in the official Adobe feedback forum for more details, vote on it, and add your opinion: Lightroom: Metadata applied to videos in Lightroom isn't available in other applications

When I sync up my HD videos won't transfer onto my IPOD- Why? How can I fix this?

I have an IPod Classic... I'm trying to sync up my HD videos- tv shows but they won't transfer onto my IPOD. Anyone know why?

Ok so HD video is not supported, which explains the problem so what is the solution? Do I have to put it through a converter to make the data and bit rate smaller? Would that even be possible?

Lightroom 5 won't play video files

My Canon 60D video (*.mov) files are sucessfully imported to the Lightroom catalog, but Lightroom won't play them in Library\Loupe view.
http://i.imgur.com/EIFSupW.jpg
Strange, but it shows video frames, when I hover mouse from left to right edge of item in Library\Grid view. Seems like output of "Loupe" for video is broken and play control (scroll and buttons) is disabled. Have tried LR 5.0 and LR 5.2 RC.
Quick time 7.7.4 plays this files perfectly.
OS: Windows 8.1 Preview
What can I do?

HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

My video won''t transfer from my SD card to iPad Air through Apple lightening USB cable, photos were OK

Can not transfer video files to iPad Air through apple lightening SD reader

Do you see them to transfer? I know the camera kit requires a very specific naming convention, file names of exactly 8 characters. If your videos don't follow that then the iPad won't 'see' it to import video
Or do you see the files but they just won't transfer across?

Some video files won't transfer from old Macbook to Macbook Air

Hi all,
My old Macbook (circa 2008) recently stopped working, so I upgraded to a new Macbook Air. I had the harddrive of my old Macbook extracted and made into an external harddrive, and then used Migration Assistant to transfer my data to the Macbook Air. I then upgraded to OS X 10.9. However, I have found that several video files I had saved on my old Mabook do not appear on my Macbook Air. These are a mix of .mpeg and .avi files. I reconnected the external harddrive and located these files on it, and tried copying them to my Macbook Air one by one, but they won't transfer and I recieve the error message that the operation cannot be completed because the file is in use. I can play them in quicktime or VLC direct from the external harddrive, but can't save them to my Macbook Air. I tried restarting my computer, reconnecting the hard drive and so on, but to no avail. I tried transferring other videos that had come accross with Migration Assistant, and these copy to my Macbook Air without any trouble. But the files that didn't get transferred just won't. Is there anything I can do to get these files onto my new computer?
Any help is appreciated!

Open the library on the EHD with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
and look in the Masters folder to see if any of the original files have zero bytes? Do not make any other changes/alterations, i.e. look but don't touch. If you do find zero byte image files then it's not the copy process that is the culprit but the files are bad to start with.

IChat File Transfer/Video Chat won't work... :(

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get ichat to allow file transfers/video chatting on my Mac, I have a feeling that the setup through the routers that we have are not allowing it to function as it is constantly giving me errors. My set up is a Cable Modem hooked into a Netgear WGR614 v6 and then an ethernet wire running from that router to a Linksys WRT54G v8. I have the WRT54G set up with the following settings:
IP: 192.168.1.136
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Static DNS 1 and 2: Are my IP's DNS servers
Static DNS 3 is blank
Local IP address is .199 with a subnet of 255.255.255.128
I have DHCP enabled starting at .200 with 30 users
My computer is also set up statically at port .233.
The Netgear WGR614 v6 is set up with the following settings:
Get IP/DNS dynamically from ISP
DHCP Range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.51. Router is on a subnet of 255.255.255.0 the linksys is set up statically to the Netgear
SO, this brings me to my issue, I am trying to get ichat file transfer/video to work, I have followed the instructions for setting up portforwarding from portforward.com for ichat on both the netgear and the linksys. On the linksys, i set the IP address to forward to as my computers (.233)
On the netgear, i set the ip address to forward to as 192.168.1.136 (the static IP of the linksys).
Anyway, I am hoping someone can point out what I am doing wrong as I am still getting this error: An AIM error has occurred. Unable to talk directly to your buddy. I am also getting this error: An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout.
My OS X firewall is off.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE!!

Hi,
I am not sure I have understood your Networking here.
You say the Netgear is getting an IP (Via DHCP) from the ISP.
You go onto say it is at 192.168.1.1
It issues IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.51 and the Linksys has an IP outside this range at 192.168.1.136
Your computer is at 192.168.1.233
As both devices are using the 192.168.1.xxx group and doing DHCP (even with restricted groups) how does the computer know which one to connect to ?
You should be able to change the group that each device is using for it's own network (I would suggest the Netgear)
You should also turn Off DHCP (to the LAN) in the Netgear so it's own network (subnet) only goes as far as the Linksys.
Similarly in the Linksys make sure DHCP is Off or change the Mac to use Manually (Static) with DHCP.
Both devices can do UPnP found in the Administration tab in the Linksys and the WAN page of the Netgear.
Turn Off/disable all Port Forwarding in both devices.
It may also pay to copy across the Linksys and Computer the DNS server IPs from the Netgear.

Can't transfer video from iPhone to iTunes

Hi, I hope this hasn't been covered in another thread already. I did a cursory search and turned up nothing.
I bought a music video from the iTunes store on my iPhone. when I plug the iPhone into my iMac and it shows up in iTune's menu I try to drag-and-drop the video to iTunes it won't transfer over. This proceedure has always worked in reverse (from iTunes to iPhone) in the past, but why not this way? Also I downloaded some podcasts to the iPhone and the same story; won't transfer to iTunes.
FYI: I don't have auto-sync set up between iTunes and my iPhone because I don't want everything that is on iTunes on my iPhone, just the stuff I select.

After connecting your phone to iTunes, right-click your device name and select "Transfer Purchases" This will transfer to iTunes everything you purchased on your iPhone without syncing.
BTW, you can set up iTunes to sync only selected music, videos, podcasts and apps without "drag/drop". On the summary page of your device, check "Sync only checked songs and videos". In your library, check which items you want to sync to your phone in Music, Movies, TV, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Apps, Ringtones, Radio.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.
