Log note not importing with video file

After capturing a few clips in FCP, I imported them into a new project. The log notes did not carry over with the files.
If I have both projects open, I can copy and paste the clips into the new project with all of the logging info, but that isn't practical for our workflow. Is there a hidden setting to keep the log note with the file or is this standard for FCP?
Thanks.

The notes are part of the reference clip, and not the clip itself, so the fix is to drag between projects, or export a batch list from the original project, import that list into the new, and reconnect media.

Clip name does not import with video file

I have a raw AVCHD file shot on a Sony FS-700. I imported all ~180 clips and moved them from the FCP X folder into a folder on my raid drive for use in multiple projects. The clip names at import are Clip #1, Clip #1, etc. etc. I then rename them in my finder window in their new location. The clips look great and playback great through Quick View and Quicktime. However, I run into a problem when I import them from their new location into a new event. The clip which is named 'FCP X Import' will import and be labeled 'Clip #89'.
I would like to remain naming them in Finder if at all possible. This might be a Yosemite error or just my workflow. Workflow is: I edit directly after the event with imported media from the raw file and use the 'Clip #89' first then move, then rename to 'FCP X Import', then reuse for other features (which is where the problem occurs).
Note: Clips do bring in Finder tags. For example, if I label it red the clip will retain that tag in FCP X
Thanks.

It would be quite helpful to know what format the footage is, what camera it came from.
First thing to try is this, assuming AVCHD or similar footage type from SD card -
Copy ENTIRE card contents to hard drive, not just video clips. In Premiere, Import using the "Media Browser". See if that helps

Please help CS 4.2 will not import ANY video file

I've been working for days to get this fixed. Everything installs fine software wise and I am using a
Matrox RTX2 for capture/playback but Prem CS4.2 will not import any video file type.
My system is up to spec.
I've seen this problem discussed but none of the (many) suggested solutions have helped.
I've uninstalled and re-installed the OS and clean install multiple times and still I get "file format not supported" with EVERY file type.
Please help!
Brian

Brian,
Welcome to the forum.
When issues occur with Matrox cards, updating its drivers often fix things.
If you create a non-Matrox Project, can you then Import AV files?
Good luck,
Hunt

Photoshop CC will not import any video files when I try Video Frame to Layers and New Video Layer from File

Specifically I'm trying to import a .MOV I made in Quicktime. The file opens up everywhere else so it's not an issue with the file being corrupted. The error message I get from CC is
"Could not complete command _____________ because the video file could not be opened."
As far as I know I didn't save the .MOV with any permissions, but then again I have very limitted understanding of Quicktime. Originally the file was a .GIF that I converted to an .MOV because I wanted to edit the GIF using the video timeline instead of the animation timeline.
Thanks for the help.
Also, as an aside since I know a lot of Adobe employees are on here, the animation timeline is pretty crummy, there should be a way that you can open a .GIF into the video timeline as a video layer.

Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

ITunes not importing any video files

I just had to re-install OS X from disc. After the install, I was thrilled everything was right where I left it. My iTunes library is on an external Hard Drive, and iTunes remebered to look there, and everything was perfect.
That is of course until I attempted to add a video file to my library. Nothing happens at all. No error message, no nothing. It just acts like I didnt ask it to do anything.
To test it out, I removed a video file that played just fine in iTunes from the library. Then, I attempted to add that SAME video file back - and nothing happened. When you try to open it, nothing.
I then tested audio and everything imported fine.
PLEASE HELP!

I've got EXACTLY the same problem. This didn't happen until iTunes 7.
WHAT HAS APPLE DONE??
I have spent three years transferring my own off-air TV shows to .mp4 files. I have hundreds and hundreds of hours of video in this format.
The format has always worked perfectly, and they all used to transfer to iTunes with no problem at all.
Now, however, all of a sudden dragging and dropping results in -- NOTHING.
No explanation, no warning -- iTunes just acts as though I haven't done anything.
The problem extends to my iPod with Video, too. I actually have about a dozen .mp4s on the iPod that still play absolutely fine.
But when I try adding another file JUST LIKE IT, I get a message saying that the video file "cannot play on this iPod."
I've tried converting these files to H.264 and to three other formats which my EyeTV app. says are optimized for the iPod. NOTHING.
WHAT HAS APPLE DONE TO iTUNES??? And why aren't more people up in arms about it??
More practically, can I solve the problem by deinstalling iTunes 7 and re-installing iTunes 6?
Thanks.

Filters not importing with xmp files

I have an editor do my culling and color correction with Lightroom. She sends me the xmp files and she uses the stars and color filters to show which images she has picked but sometimes the stars and filters don't show up.
Her color correction is there, as I can see which images have been worked on, but I can't filter out the ones she hasn't chosen as the stars don't show up.
This is so frustrating, what is the issue?
She uses a Mac and I use a PC, but sometimes we have no trouble at all.

What version of Lightroom are both of you using? Because there is a better way to handle this if you are both using LR5. You send her the catalog and Smart Previews file, she could just send you the catalog back, and then you do an Import from catalog. That will pull in all her edits and metadata changes. If she perhaps did not Save metadata after she had made her ratings that could possibly explain it. Its the older way of doing remote editing and its definitely prone to error or mistakes.

AM/PM does not import with csv files

Hello All,
I am loading various csv files into DIAdem using the DataPlugin Wizard. My files contain time channels in the format 03/21/2011 01:32:24 PM or AM. When the data is imported the AM/PM is lost so my time skips backwards. After 12:59 when the data jumps to 1:00 and there is no AM or PM or 13:00 so I end up with a large gap in my data and the end of the data becomes the beginning. I have tried the various date format options in the wizard and even tried typing in "pp" after the time. I have also tried importing the data as txt and ascii. Am I missing something simple? Thanks for any insight!

Hi SolarTech,
I went ahead and wrote a quick DataPlugin to read your posted CSV file which has no file extension. You say that you're using DIAdem 2011, but actually at the moment only DIAdem 2010 is released, so I'm assuming this is what you actually have. DIAdem 2010 is the first version that supports automatic association of "no-file-extension" with a DataPlugin, and this is how I've set up the DataPlugin I'm attaching. That means that once you detach the ZIP file and unzip it and then double-click on the "SolarTech_CSV.uri" file to register the DataPlugin, that you'll be able to just drag your extensionless (CSV) data files from the NAVIGATOR to the Data Portal to load them. This also means that the DataPlugin won't work on any DIAdem versions prior to 2010.
Your AM/PM info looks like it's importing correctly to me with the DataPlugin I wrote. Note that by default DIAdem displays date/time values with 24 hour syntax, but you can configure date/times to display with AM/PM everywhere except on the axes of VIEW graphs.

Audio Not Importing With Video Clip

My issue seems to be the same as another on this board, but it involves an MPEG file. In QuickTime Player the clip plays video and audio fine. But when I import the clip into iMovieHD 6.0.3, the audio doesn't play. Any suggestions?

iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV/D8 camcorders
you try to teach the old dog new tricks..
Streamclip (free)
converts mpeg1 into something editable..
if you're tying to edit mpeg2, you need addtional Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$)
choose in Streamclip dv/dv-stream as export option...
due to the nature of mpegs, you will realize a (dramatic) loss of pic quality...

Flash SWF with Video file will not play in web page

Hello Flash group,
I have created a flash video file from a *.wmv file.
myvideo.flv.
I have used flash to build an swf file that plays the video
(with a default skin).
I have then imported the media file into an html page using
Dreamweaver. I did not import the flv file, but the swf file with
the "video" in it.
The page plays find on my development server (where
Flash,Dreamweaver, etc is installed).
When I moved the html page, the flv file, the swf file and
the skin to my production webserver (linux and apache)
the flash files do not show up on the web page. The dev
server is a windows XP running apache 2.2)
Any ideas on what I need to do???
thanks,
eholz1

It may cause by any of the reason below:
- You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
- Your flv file path/name is incorrect. check all case
sensitive etc.
- Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.

When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

Ask Panasonic whether or not they provide OSX versions of the software.

When I try to import video, Lightroom-4 will not recognize the video files. How do I fix that?

Lightroom 4 will not recognize the video files. It will only import the photo files. How do I import the video files?

You might provide some additional information, such as what types of videos, from what cameras, and what version of LR4 you are using.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.
