Move files: they jump to bottom of grid

Hi Everyone,
Had a search but no joy. Using LR 5, and if i select a few images in grid mode, and then change their position in the grid by moving the selected files, they just jump to the bottom of the grid. So whereas i might move them to be, say, 3rd, the move will result in them all going to last ... strange! Testing this out, it seems to only happen if the selected files are not contiguous - there needs to be a gap between some of them.
Anyone able to point me to the solution to this (so they stay in the position that i've dragged them to).
Many thanks

At this point I am inclined to say something is stuck.
This may be one of those wierd problems that a preference reset may fix. If you want to make the attempt, here are instructions: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file

When searching for mov files, they don't show up in Finder

Okay, so I think I found a good bug. (bad bug). I copied a bunch of .mov files from two CF cards to an external ExFat formatted hard drive. Once I copy, I can see the data on the hard drive. I have two folders: "Card1" and Card2". Again, I can clearly see all of the .mov files if I just manually open the folders. But when I search for the .mov files on the entire hard drive, (for the purposes of counting the number of .mov files I have), only files from one of the folders are found. Even though they are clearly there, and they play, etc. This is quite strange. Any ideas? I'm on Mavericks.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Cant get a clean movie file

hi all
I am expoerting a movie from final cut pro 5 with compressor. I have used the settings for DVD fast encode and high quality.
The problim is that everytime i use compressor and then play back the movie files they look corupted. They have alot of digital break up and sometimes skip or jump frames.
Has anybody got any advice on how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance
mike

It's not really possible to diagnose your problem given that you've provided so little information on your encoding method, source video, and/or your playback and evaluation method(s). NTSC or PAL, standard definition DV or HD, interlaced or progressive, frame rates, field dominance settings? What exactly do you mean by "digital break up?"
I assume that you are using the latest updates to FCP v5, Compressor 2, QuickTime 7, and Apple's Pro Application Support. I further assume that you are not trying to use presets that were either imported or derived from Compressor v1.x (that will not work, a documented problem).
Furthermore, have you tried using a range of different source video (not all based upon the same capture session or materials). Has your source video gone through any form of post processing other than simple cuts and scene transitions? What about frame rate conversion, deinterlacing, color correction, scaling, etc?
Finally, what you are reporting is not common -- at least not common based upon my understanding of your problem -- but as I noted you haven't provided many details so it's hard to know what you are actually seeing.
Here is the link to Apple's warning about using v1.x presets with Compressor 2.

HELP! VIDEO IN CS6 EXTENDED WON'T IMPORT MOV FILES, ONLY JPEG

Hello. I have a problem with the video editor in my CS6 Extented. I have the newest updates (checked an hour ago), and restored default preferences before beginning the first video exercise in Chapter 10 of "Adobe Photoshop CS6/Classroom In A Book". The book came with practice files on a DVD. I installed those (for chapter 10) into my PC. Following the book's directions to create a new video file, everything is fine, and works just as shown in the book, until I import the 9 sample files (6 Jpegs and 3 MOV files). After placing these files onto the timeline, I am instructed to resize the duration of the JPEGs to 3 seconds, that works. But when I go to resize the MOV files, they will not expand. When I zoom in all the way, they are clearly empty place holders, of no lenght. The marker says they are "01F", which looks to me like 1 frame. Yet looking at the files before importing them in to Photoshop and placing them on the timeline, the first two files show as being 11 seconds long, and the third MOV file is 37 seconds long. And, I can play all three files on my Windows media player. But again, as soon as I place these on the time line, they are reduced to a sliver of just one frame, that can not be expanded.
I placed these files first using the method described in the book, which is to "Click the video menue in the Layer 0 track, and choose Add Media." I then went to the lesson 10 folder on my internal hard drive, shift selected the 9 files as directed, then clicked open.   I turned off my PC and then rebooted, three times, always getting the same results. I then went and looked at some on-line traing videos, where they showed selecting the video files, then clicking on the "+" at the right end of the time line, and that did the same thing, moving the JPEGs fine, and chopping the MOV files down to one frame.
As another clue, before creating the video file in the exercise, the book directed me to load the finished file that they supplied, into Photoshop, and to play that in Photoshop, to see what the final project would look like. I did that, and the video played fine. And the book instructed me to note how the files in the timeline matched up with the files in the layers panel, and all of that looked just like in the book. But I can NOT get the video/MOV files to move in to the time line when I do it as instructed.
And I am running Windows 8.1, on a brand new pc with a fairly highpowered dedicated video card with 3 gig of on-board ram, and 16G of ram in my PC.
What do I do?   Thank you, Chuck

Thank you Silkrooster!   I did the download of Quicktime and re-did the video training exercise, but this time it worked flawlessly! Thanks, Chuck
PS: As I entered the forum, I noticed someone else with the exact same problem that I had. But that person was able to ask their question in a couple of simple sentences instead of my long ramble!

.mov files displaying choppy/glitchy

Hi, I am having some trouble reviewing some clips in Premiere. The footage I was given has some 29 fps .mts files and some 60 fps .mov files (they were shot on different cameras). The .mts files look fine when I review them but when I play the .mov files they are extremely choppy and slow and often I get a "media pending" screen. Could someone help me out? Do I need to convert the .mov files to work with the .mts files? Is is just my laptop that is having trouble processing the files (and if so how do I fix this?)

I upgraded to the latest Premiere and the clips are loading a bit quicker but I'm still getting these
sort of glitches and a lot of 'media pending' messages. I've tried exporting pieces with the glitches as quicktime files just to see if that would remedy the problem but it doesn't fix anything.

Missing CF Movie Files

when I opened FCP 5.04 this morning a window appeared asking for missing movie file "CF-dvc appl-720x48010233017. After a search I discovered that it can be found in the "Constant Frame Folder" within the FCP Render folder/ In fact that every project generates those particular 'movie files'.- They seem to be responsible for the 'black/slug in each project', the background goes all green if they are missing. Unfortunateky I couldn't select them, they were all grey and after a series of clicks on 'cancel' FCP crashed and every time after that even a new project would ask for those files...
How do I resolve this problem?

Open up iTunes and go to where the video files are
situated. Right click and click on Get Info, then
look around the tabs (cant remember which one) and
make sure that the movie file is not under 'Music
Video' if it is change it to Movie File.
Maybe I need to clarify,
The video files are no longer in the "Video" folder of iTunes.
They went missing altogether, until I found them in the "Music" folder.
"Get Info" correctly identifies the files as mpeg-4 and will play correctly in Windows under QuickTime. However, playing the same file on the iPod starts up as music, with the some artwork.
So far, I have downloaded http://www.yamipod.com/, copied the files to my hard drive. Now I will deleted them from my iPod and attempt re-add them as video.

Importing mov files into iMovie events

Hi
This is my first post ever on this site. Here goes!
I am new to iMovie, but have had someone more experienced trying to help but to no avail!
I am trying to import mov files into iMovie Events. However in the file menu there is no "events' option, so I chose 'Import Movies'. But ultimately when I click on the mov files they are greyed out.
The version of iMovie I have is iMovie '08 - 7.1.4
When I first opened iMovie it offered to update to the latest version, but in the end it said 'No updates available'. When I looked into this in the Apple Store, it said you need Mac OSX 10.7 or above to get the latest version. My Mac is 10.6.8, so won't support the latest version. However, can I not still use the version I have? What is wrong here?
Any help much appreciated - thanks.
Ermina.

If you don't get an answer here, you might want to post your question in the iMovie discussion here.

Transferring .mov files with H.264 codec to FCP

I am looking to purchase one of the Canon SLR cameras that offer video
( 5D mark 2 / 7D , etc ) and I understand that the .mov files they generate
( using the H 264 codec ) are not happily worked with in FCP.
Can anyone describe or go into what is then entailed in saving them in
a different format - one that is easily worked with in FCP ?
Is that a simple / quick step, or is it time intensive, etc. ?
Would really like to form a better understanding before purchase. I want the
camera primarily for its still image capability - so choosing another video
format ( better for file coding, etc. ) isn't so much an option.
Nonetheless, I would want to make use of the video features and am just
wondering whether it is a bit of an inconvenience, or a big fat pain in
the @$$.
Thanks for any help,
Sterne

I've made a droplet that converts files from 30 fps to 29.97 and into ProRes 422.
http://www.wallyandnay.net/Droplets/30-%3E29.97ProRes422.zip
I take my files, drop them on the droplet, go watch TV while they convert, then edit in FCP. Is it quick? No, but you can have only two of the following things
No transcoding, amazing quality, cheap price.
Put up with the transcoding.

After Upgrade .MOV Files Got Changed

Hi, Everyone...
I have 4 "very important" .MOV files that were taken with an iPhone 2 years ago. I have them stored on my Mac and backed up on a backup drive. They were "fine" before I upgraded to ML recently. But now, they no longer are being recognized as movie files - they think they are just "documents" and need to open with TextEdit. I tried just adding a .MOV as an extension, but that didn't help.
I tried opening in QuickTime and it says it can't open them. So I opened with TextEdit to see what data was inside, and it is showing a bunch of what I'm assuming is binary code?
What can I do to restore these files back to working movie files?!!
Thanks so much for any help!!

I am pretty sure this is normal, but try calling Apple back on the same case to verify. To fix it, open a terminal window and type
whoami
this will tell you who you are logged in as. Say you are logged in as "bob" then type
chown -R bob ~bob

Audition jumps time code forward on audio extracted from a .mov file

I have a video file with a starting time code of 10:41:17:23.   I open this file in Audition, apply a noise reduction effect, and export the file out as a new .wav file.
However, instead of the audio file having a starting time code of 10:41:17:23, the time code on the file starts at 10:41:34:20.
So, the time stamp has jumped forward 16 seconds, 21 frames.   And, the jump amount is not consistent. Another file had a 37 second plus jump.
Since we are talking about the STARTING time stamp, in all instances, I believe frame rate, codec, etc. are immaterial unless someone can convince me otherwise.
If I was dealing with different frame rates/codecs/etc., I could understand the time code being out of sync later in the file, but I cannot understand why it would be out of whack at the very start of the file.
Anyone got any ideas on possible cause/cure?   It's a pain having to manually search for the audio file for the correct location instead of being able to just punch in the same time code the video uses.

OK. I double checked and the timecode showed 23.976 for my test .mov file in Premier Pro, with a sample rate of 48,000 32-bit.
I made sure my timecode default was set to SMPTE 23.976 in Preferences/Time Display in Audition. I then opened the .MOV file in Audition, let it split the audio out, and moved the audio to the editor panel.
The timecode in the audition editor panel shows 23.976. The preview panel also shows 23.976.
For what is worth, the "time code" block of blue numbers in the lower bottom left of the Audition preview panel shows 00:00:00:00.    I believe this is because the primary "Time Code Start" field in the Canon 70D .mov format files is empty and the camera is putting the time code in the Alternate Time code fields.
I then opened the Effects drop down menu and applied Noise Reduction/Restoration, option Adaptive Noise Reduction, using the preset "Light Noise Reduction."
After the apply completed I saved the modified audio file with a format of Wave PCM, leaving the Sample type at the default of 48000 HZ Stereo, 32-bit and Format settings of Wave Uncompressed 32-bit floating point (IEEE).
I left the box checked next to "Include Markers and Other Metadata." And, clicked OK.
I then went to Premier Pro and opened the just saved audio file. The starting time code on the file is 10:38:52:22.   This does not match the starting time code on the original MOV file which is 10:38:14:10.
So, based on my limited understanding of both Premier Pro and Audition, I am gettting the exact same sample rate settings and time code settings all the way through the process in both Premier Pro and Audition up to the point of saving the modified file out of Audition. It is at the point of saving that things get changed.
Charles asked me to post screenshots and a sample file somewhere. I am working on doing those tonight. I just have to figure out where to post them. My original test files were quite large, but I got the same results with a 2 second file in my second test, so I'll post those files someplace.

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help! Please!

This is not the problem. We are using quicktime on the pc's and the mac. I also tried to open the file on the pc with other programs and it doesn't recognize the file. The file opens fine on my mac but I cannot save it as a new file. It says that "the end of the file was reached." The recording was made in iShowU then edited in Quicktime Pro.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

I have uploaded files in the cloud but they do not seem to open. (Movie files and other content)

I uploaded content to the cloud without any problems or issues. (GREAT NEWS!) However the content appears as a gray box and does not open or do anything when you click on it. Can you help me? It looks like it uploaded completely but I am not sure how to access it or get it to open.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Thanks for responding! Yes they are files I created in Articulate and
MSWMM- Microsoft Movie files. I still have both but was basically thinking
when I sent the link they could log in and see the file. It looks like they
would actually have to download it to open and view the materials. Is that
correct? Is there some other way to share the content?
Thanks again!
