LR 5.3 not importing iPhone 5 videos

Hi,
I am unable to import videos from my iPhone 5. Importing photos works just fine, but for video files I always get the following error ("There is a problem with the video file"):
I've updated to the latest LR version (5.3). My iPhone is running iOS 7.0.4. I'm using MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1
I also purged the video cache (as this seemed to help other users with similar problems). It doesn't make a difference.
Appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Pat

To answer my own question: I had a firewall blocking outgoing connections from unknown applications. It seems like Lightroom requires network calls from the following applications in order to work with videos: dynamiclinkmanag, dynamiclinkmedia
Not sure what these applications are used for, but allowing them to make internet calls solved the issue.

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 can I import iphone 4 videos to iMovie 09?

I tried different ways to import my videos from iphone 4 (.mov) to iMovie 09 but I had no success. I transfer the video to my iMac using image capture, then try to import the video to iMovie, but seems iMovie does not recognize the video format .mov from the iphone 4. Can anyone tell me how can I do this?
Thanks a lot for the help

I have no problems with iphone 4 video, have you edited it on the phone or anything.

Importing iphone 4 video to imovie looks stretched/distorted

I imported my iphone 4 video movie to iphoto. I then saved it to my desktop. I then imported from the desktop to imovie. However, when i play it from imovie it looks all stretched out (horizontally). When i play the video from iphoto or from my desktop, it appears fine using the default quicktime. Can someone help me?

I also struggled with the same problem for a week (even though my files were .mov already). I found this steps helpful: opening the video clip in quicktime first, then Export it to a certain folder (desktop would be the easiest) using a 720p format (found on the dropdown menu under the "Save As" or "File Name" bar) and then import the video to imovie. This time, the video should not be stretched anymore.
Hope this helps!

Cannot play or import iPhone 4 videos in Aperture 3.3.2

When trying to import a video I shot on my iPhone 4 with the built-in camera app into Aperture, I just received the message "Unsupported video format". If I try to import the video as a file from the desktop, it does not even show up in the import dialogue.
Similarly, all iPhone 4 videos I have inside Aperture already don't play anymore. I can still see the thumbnail, but trying to open them will just bring up a grey screen - nothing else.
All videos play fine in QuickTime, I have verified they are the usual standard Apple Codec and none of the other threads here helped me.
Would anyone have any ideas?

What is your operating system? Have you upgraded to Mt. Lion after installing Aperture 3.3.2? Then I'd start with reinstalling Aperture, if the trouble started after upgrading the OS.
Otherwise, walk through the measures outlined in the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, unless you alreday have done so. Start with repairing and rebuilding the aperture, Library, followed by removing the preferences, if necessary.
Post back, if it does not help.

Léonie

Camcorder connected but will not import or show video

I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder that used to work well with imovie. Although I have it connected and the blue screen states that the camcorder is connected, imovie will not import the video nor will it show it playing. When I rewind or fast-forward, it will show the counter but I will not get a picture. The play, fast forward and rewind buttons in imovie will operate the camcorder but no image or sound. The import button shows that it is being pressed but still no results. Aill I get is the blue screen with its message of camera connnected.
I have used different tapes, verified that the tapes have content, rechecked the connections and reset the permissions. Could use any and all advice.
Thanks

Mini Mac Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Hi Richard
In rare cases this can have happened.
A. Try Your Camera on another Mac. OK - Then skip the rest !
B. Control the 6-pin end of Your FW-cable and the connector on Your Mac so
that it is not broken.
As You see it is Non-symetrical BUT it can be forced in upside down and if
You use back side connecter it is even easier while it's hard to see what's
going on.
If this has happened = You have a broken Camera.
It will be controlable by iMovie
will record and play normally via lens/analog connector
but - NO import or export via FW-connector
Analog/digital chip blown. Expencive repair.

Photoshop elements not importing iphone edits, reverting to originals

Apple support told me Photoshop Elements is one of 5 applications that import iPhone pictures that have been edited in the iPhone photo software as they are edited. So I downloaded Photoshop elements and attempted my first import. Sadly, the pictures reverted to their pre-edited originals, the same problem I've been experiencing with my non-mac laptop. Any assistance appreciated...

ok. Night three...
and some photos!
completed another uninstall/install downloaded fresh from the site.
downloaded the 6.4.1 update manually from the adobe site and opened it from the desktop.
get the usual;
i click on the red adobepatchinstaller icon and i get this..
meanwhile, all my .cr2 files are greyed out when in photoshop/file/open
Tried to open my RAW .cr2 images in the adobe dng converter, but i just get this..
get the same message when trying to open the raw file through elements.
and finally!
when i go to the actual file, right click and open with photoshop, i get
All this happens when i also go through the automated process of 'elements/update' to get the latest camera raw plugin.
It also confirms that i have the latest version (6.4.1) when i go to Photoshop Elements / About Plugin / Camera RAW
Elements is working fine in all other areas. I have even managed to get hold of a .dng file and opened that up fine...
Any ideas, anyone?

How do i import iPhone 4s video to iphoto

I cant get the videos on my iPhone 4S to sync wirelessly into iphoto. Is this not possible or am i just overlooking some little checkbox somewhere?

I'm having the same problem. With photostream enabled in iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) and preferences set to copy/import into an event yet it doesn't move over movies shot on my new 4S. I figured its because the file might be a little on the large size because of the new camera. But with the phone plugged in via usb to the mac and iPhoto open it doesn't show up like it used to do. Same in iMovie: it doesn't see the iPhone as a 'camera attached' from which to import videos. The only options given to export from the phone are 'Message' and 'email' which probably means compression. So how do we save our 1080 videos shot on the 4S to our macs ?
turning photostream off does not do anything to make the iPhone appear either.
Setting preferences for the iPhone in iTunes to 'include movies' in the photos tab doesn't do anything.
Can't find the iPhone in Finder either.

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:

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.).

Import iphone 4 video to ipad (the "new" one)

Hey there,
I shot a video with my iphone 4 and want to import it to the ipad to work on it with iMovie.
Is it still the same as I need to convert the video or is there an easy way?
Currently I can see the video on the ipad under videos, but I can not add it to iMovie, I only see the videos I shot with the ipad
Appreciate any help...
Michael

Have a read of this:
File Transfer between iPad2 and iPad(3) via iTunes
It explains how to transfer videos or projects.
We talk about iPad to iPad but imagine the one iPad is your iPhone.
What you did wrong was copy the video to the movies tab, you should be importing video via the photos tab.
Then the photos app can see it, and so also iMovie.
iMovie cannot edit from the movies app (this is for copyright movies).

Importing iPhone 5 video to Encore - troubleshooting

I'm trying to upload video from an iPhone 5 into Encore CS6. I'm using Windows 8. Encore does not recognize the .mov files. When I select import, it recognizes .jpg files but not the .mov files. How can I get Encore to recognize these files?

After upgrade to CS5 Audio does not import / load with video in avi

I updated from Ppro CS3 to CS5 purchased from the Adobe store.
I opened a project created in CS3 in CS5 and followed the prompt to save it as a new project.
All tracks, edits, etc were intact and any given sequence played re-rendered etc., as expected.
I created a new project, imported one of the same avi files used in step 2. Again, everything worked properly
I ran update from the PPro help menu to 5.0.3.   I ran this process two different times. The first time I selected all updates. The second time I only update PPro itself. I did a system restore in between, the following results were identical in both situations.
Now, when I open either the converted or new projected file, Ppro reports the media as "offline"…it is not. If I "Link Media" the file, I get this message:   The selected file does not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences. These audio clip references will be deleted, and cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?"
Gspot.exe reports the audio codec as MPEG-1 Layer 2 and the video codec as MJPG
The avi files were rendered on a MAC from .MOV's to AVI's. Here are the file properties that PPRo reports:

Imovie will not import the whole video, only a portion. How can I import the entire video?

I am new Imovie user and I am having some difficulty importing video from my desktop. The whole video is on my desktop, but when I try to import it in imovie, only a few minutes of the video imports. How can I fix this issue?

Hi
A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

HT201302 Trying to download my videos from camera roll onto pc but auto play only says import pictures not import pictures and videos

Hi trying to download videos from my camera roll to my pc.pictures have all downloaded but not the videos

Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

Importing iphone 4 video to imovie

I just filmed some videos off my iphone 4, however I'm having trouble bringing them into imovie. They're in iphoto, but don't show up under iphoto videos or my media. When I drag them onto my desktop and then import them, they show up very very wide and disproportioned. Any recommendations?

Are you still having this problem? I was too and no one online had answers so after a couple of beers and brainfood, here is how I resolved it:
~ Import the video to a folder on desktop
~ Open video with QuickTime (video will orient and display properly)
~ Go to File/Export
~ Change the name in the Save As box (leave the extension as is though)
~ Below at Export, Select "Movie to QuickTime Movie" then click Options
~ In the Movie Settings box that appears click the "Size..." button
~ This brings up the "Export Size Settings" box, select "Current" in Dimensions
~ Leave everything as it is and click OK
~ Click OK in the Movie Settings box
~ Click Save
After the export is complete, drag the new file into iMovie and you will see it is correct. You will have vertical black letterbox bars on the sides but the dimensions will be correct.
