Movie importing problem

1. I have chosen the "Reflection" theme template.
2. I have used the edit drop zone feature and imported jpgs for the motion slides that move from right to left.
3. I have dragged a .mov from my desktop and placed it in the area of the translucent pane in the template, a yellow dot and a box with the file name appearred.
4. When I tried to adjust the location of the movie on the pane and edit its name by selecting it the template name box to the right "Reflection Main" is highlighted and moves as if it was selected, while my mouse is still on the movie name.
I have tried going to the edit menu and selected "select none" and it does de-select the Reflection Main box but the process repeats itself when I have tried again.
Also when I review the project and try to start the movie by clicking on the file name - it is not selectable - nothing happens.
I am tring to make a DVD that will auto start to the slide show of the reflection template and when one clicks on the movie name it will then play the movie.
Please help,
jim

is the rest of my system adequite enough?

Fuji Finepix iPhoto movie import problems

iPhoto won't let me import any movies from my Fuji Finepix camera that's over two/three minutes long. I've plugged my camera into a friend PC and it imported the movie with out any problems. There's no problems with importing photos at all, or movies under two minutes. It just doesn't recognize movies over 2 minutes.
I have plenty of space on my HD to accommodate these movies.
I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6
any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
thx

Hi.
I have had the same problem with iPhoto 6 not importing my longer video clips. I do use a card reader. When iPhoto won't import a movie, the workaround is to use Image Capture. Select "Download Some" and switch the window to List view to preview the files on the card. Select the movies and upload to a Desktop folder. Ignore the blue progress meter - it seems to go from 0 to 100% with no indication of actual progress. It can take several minutes, but I've learned to be patient and the clips will eventually appear on the Desktop. Once there, iPhoto has had no trouble importing them into the Library.
Regards.

Movie importing problems (won't accept quicktime .mov files)

I have tried to import several movies, three of which are edited off of final cut pro and two which are dowloaded quicktime movies. I get the pop-up which says "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "Movie", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." Every one of the movies has been converted into a quicktime movie and is a .mov file, which accoring to the web-site should be easily played on the iPod? Anyone know what I can do?

Even tho the files are.mov they also have to be a certain fps size (Frame Per Second). here is the exact details on what iPod supports best in the format you have
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

Photo to movie import problem

Just purchased Photo to Movie. Made first movie which I want to import to iMovie project. For some reason, labeled unknown error, the import won't occur. What to do?

I’m not real familiar with this app (since i personally use Apple's iPhoto or Adobe's PS and not LQ Graphics). Have you tried using iPhoto instead? iPhoto likely interfaces with iMovie much better than LQ Graphics apps. Nevertheless, i did do a search for you and found the following which you may already know....
What version of QT are you using? (Photo to Movie mandates QT 6.5.2 or later).
Also what version of Photo to Movie did you install?
Is it version 3.2.3 or later?

IPod Video movie importing problems

I'm having issues importing h.264 mp4's into my new iPod Video. I get a message that says it can't be copied because it can't be played on this iPod. I originally imported all my Seinfeld that I own into my computer using Handbrake. I chose h.264/mp4 settings and it has been fine all along until now. I've had success using VisualHub to convert them into iPod ready format, but when I look at the video settings, nothing looks different as far as format.

Try converting with Instant Handbrake, that always works for me.
http://mirrors.m0k.org/handbrake/testing/Instant-HandBrake-20060421.dmg
Too bad none of my videos are visible anymore. I had all of Season 4 of Seinfeld. Now I get to bring up the hidden files to back it up and restore. That's gonna suck.

Problem with .mov importing as audio

Hello!
I'm an old school filmmaker who last did intensive stuff when miniDV was king
Now I find myself at a new job shooting and editing testimonials. Everything was fine for a whole year until I tried to import video from another videographer.
I'm on a Windows 7 machine with Premiere Pro CC v.7.1.0
The note on the footage says shot on Panasonic AF150 (AF100?) 1080 p 60i
The .mov import as audio only. I have tried all kinds of sequence settings to change this. No dice.
Also, the footage has, I believe it's called, "Judder". (I can watch the footage with my QT or VLC player.)
Using a video conversion software I was able to import as MP4. But holy heck do I really have to convert all the clips before I can bring them in?
I am pretty clueless about codecs, which is likely the problem. So a quick explanation on codecs and good places to read up on them would also be extremely helpful.
Here's another issue - the videographer used a fisheye lens (or setting?) for some really nice B roll shots. Unfortunately, they are 4:3 and the interviews are 16:9! Is this common and ends up being "my problem" or did he goof?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I do have Quicktime installed (which is why I was able to watch it on players outside of Premiere.)
And the update didn't help

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

QT "invalid public movie atom" problem - iPod Classic

I encountered a strange "invalid public movie atom" problem relating to my brand new iPod classic (80GB):
I used QTpro 7.4.1(14) to convert several movie/avi files for iPod (the standard procedure via the offered converting methods).
After copying them to the iPod via iTunes, they showed flawlessly on the iPod and i was also able to watch them on my TV.
Then i converted another file, copied it to iPod and tried to start the video, the result was a fuzzy green screen (like some encountered it with the album art) and the the iPod crashed (restarting automatically with the grey apple-logo screen).
I did this a second time, it crashed, and after restarting again, i tried it with one of the videos that worked fine before. One of them then caused the same problem, green fuzzy screen, restarting automatically!
When i tried to open these two files mentioned with QT from the movies folder in my iTunes library, i got the "invalid public movie atom" message and, well, the videos don´t play anymore. (keep in mind, they played before!)
Important: i did a clean install about two weeks ago, installing all updates (OSX, QT, iPod, etc.) before doing anything else. The first videos im talking about are older, but worked well after the cleaninstall/update procedure was done. Since then nothing was changed and now suddenly the problem appears?!
Some thoughts: i read here in other posts that A the iPod sometimes crashes because of that "album art problem", but that doesn´t have anything to do with video?! B since it worked before (the last days since i did the clean install) the bug , or whatever it is, "appeared" based on another issue?
Thx :-/
Hardware/Software involved: PowerMag G5 dual 2GHz., iPod Classic 80GB, OSX 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1(14), iTunes 7.6.1(9), iPod 1.1.1
I also posted this in the QT for Mac OS section:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1442446&tstart=0

There is a little piece of code that tells iTunes which movies can be played on iPod. It is called the iPod Atom. If you have a movie that is fully compatible with iPod BUT doesn't have this atom, it just won't sync regardless the movie can actually be played by the iPod. I have been having trouble with these little bastards myself...
My guess on your problem is that the converted movies weren't 100% compatible with your iPod but they had the atom so they synced. Some AVI movies plays partially on QT.
May I suggest that you instal Perian which adds a lot of codec handlers to Quicktime and try to re-encode some of them.
On my side, I have been trying to find how to insert the aforementioned iPod Atom on movies that have already been encoded so I don't have to re-encode them again... But that's my personal quest. Good Luck!

How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

I instralled the After Effects trial program and it was running okay for a few days, then I was hit with a warning to reinstall plugins. How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

Has anyone figure this out?
I started getting this after installing GoPro Studio 2.
Uninstalling it and even deleting the plugins manually didn't work, and neither did reinstalling AE.
All I could get was stop getting the error message at start-up but the problem is that any .AVI file that I import only plays audio, no video.
Please, any help appreciated.

Aperture 3.2.1 Import problems.

Aperture 3.2.1 Import problems. I can not import. Complete system hang when I try. Have to force reboot. I made a new user and everything seems to work fine under that user. I must have something conflicting in my admin user but I have had no luck finding it. I have tried rebuilding the library (all three options) but to no avail. Aperture will run fine as long as I do not try to import. This is very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Tim,
If a problem only occurs when working from one account, then very often faulty user preferences or presets are the cause. Try to remove your user preference file, and if that should not suffice, move your presets to the desktop, as described in the Aperture 3: Trouble Shooting Basics:
(Caution: I see, you are running Lion: Because of Lion's non-preemptive Process Management you can never be sure if an application really has quit, even if it looks in the Dock as if the Application has finished. So it is very important to log off, before you launch Aperture again, after you changed something in the libraries like described below.)
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Aperture back to its original settings. This will not impact your image files or your library. To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder. (and log off and log in again!)
Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on...
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type~/Library/Application Support/Aperture in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Move the contents of this folder to your Desktop (and log off and log in again!)
Start Aperture and see if the issue is resolved. Note: Permanently removing these files will delete presets, metadata sets, keyword sets, and so on. If moving these files to the Desktop does not resolve the issue, move them back to their original location to restore the presets, adjustment chain presets, and metadata sets. In no case will removing these files affect metadata, keywords, or adjustments already applied to images.
If none of this should help, try to boot into safe mode (hold down shift after the start up chime), to see if you have conflicting plugins or video drivers etc. installed in your admin library.

Import problem. LR4 Can't see folders on my external hard drive.

When I go to import to select the device from which to import in, it doesn't show me the folders in that device. So I click show subfolders and then it shows me my thousands of photos
I want to be able to select the folders to look at from my External Hard drive but there is no drop down menu.
I know it's there because I've used it before.
I'm not sure if I've posted my screen shot or not.
I've fixed the problem but I don't know why it keeps happening so I want to find out what I'm doing.
file://localhost/Users/granttara/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202013-01-19%20at%2012.29.10%20PM.p ng
In the screen shot you can see that my External Hard IS showing the folders it contains but I have no idea how I got that function back when it goes.
I've clicked on arrows and right clicked on things and then 'boom' it's working again.
Any help so I know what to do in the future would be great.
Thanks.

Now that I see the screenshot I understand what you mean: The NO NAME is being interpreted as a camera memory card (a device) rather than a removable hard-drive, so when you import images from a CF card it doesn’t show all the subfolders, it just shows the pictures, and won’t let you do an Add or Movie import, just the two Copy variations.
Try this:
1)   Click on the up-down arrow to the right of NONAME
2)   Select Other Source…
3)   Navigate to a subfolder on NO NAME and click Select or Ok or whatever it says and it’ll list that subfolder. The icon at the top left should change from a straight-on black device icon to a rotated, lighter removable drive icon.
4)   Press F5 to refresh the Files icons and your NO NAME device should show up as a drive-letter or removable drive down in the lower area, in addition to being a Device above.   Once it is in the lower Files area you should have the clickable arrows to go into subfolders.

HD Import Problems

I recently purchased a Canon HV 20 HD Camcorder. Picture quality and playback from the camera is excellent. However I have had a few problems following import of HD footage to my computer with IMovie 06 HD. Most of the footage is fine, however a few scenes get very choppy and do not run smoothly (compared to direct playback from the camera). Also some scenes have distorted sound, it sounds like the speech is lowed down. I have all the latest updates installed for IMovie.
Anyone else had similar problems?

Hi Tim and others on this thread.
Having raised a few hares, I felt duty bound to take another look at this problem.
I dug out a master tape of my last 1080i HD project and which contained two clips with distorted sound. They were the last two clips of a 60 minute recording on a 63 minute tape and were, respectively, 13.5" and 47" long. They played fine in the camcorder and I have now discounted the camcorder and tape as a possible cause of the problem, following further testing in iMovie 6.
I connected the camcorder to main power, then connected it via Firewire to the iMac, switched the camcorder to Play/Edit, and then opened a new imovie project(1080i PAL). I imported the last 4 minutes of the tape including the problem clips. The clips imported at half speed which is normal for my 1.8GHz CPU and shortly after I was able to preview in real time.
The two problem clips still had distorted sound and the preceding two clips had no problem when reviewed in the Clips pane preview.
I then highlighted the problem clips and dragged them simultaneously into the Timeline. The sound problem disappeared-they both played fine. I dragged them back to the clips pane and the problem reappeared.
I then tried dragging them back to the Timeline and that seemed too much for iMovie 6. Sometimes a clip would work, then only one clip, then I lost sound altogether on the second clip,etc. Once you go beyond a certain point iMovie 6 will just become impossible.
Quitting iMovie and then reopening the project got one clip to work temporarily but clearly is not a solution.
Apple`s suggestions to conserve power when in HD by turning off Show Audio Waveform in View did nothing and neither did their other suggestion of deselecting Keep Playhead Centred in Playback Preferences. Neither did their suggestion to Repair Permissions. I had already tried their other suggestions of defragmenting my drive and there is now little more I can do to improve the performance of my computer.
What did get me back on track was to close iMovie>ditch the iMovie preferences plist(Home>Library>Preferences)>re-open iMovie. The other thing that worked was your idea Tim of extracting the audio of both clips, and in fact this seemed to be the most lasting solution. However, starting with dragging both clips from Clips Pane to Timeline might prove better than either-I still do not know whether dragging them together was what what did the trick. Of course, it might be necessary to do all three if problems persist.
Because I had confused iMovie with all this messing around, I ran DiskWarrior to tidy things up. No major problems were reported but this application does not report all the corrections it makes. Thus it sorted out a previous problem I experienced with iMovie 6 when trying to use purchased music but I have no idea what changes it made.
My revised conclusion is that we may all need a lot more power in the CPU when editing high definition in iMovie 6. For example, the new 24" iMac G5 has the equivalent of double the power of my current iMac.
David Babsy, a frequent contributor to these forums often mentions that most of his problems disappeared with a more powerful computer. You only have to see how things dramatically slow down in iMovie 6 when reaching the end of a big high definition movie edit to appreciate the need for more power.
Obviously we still need extra RAM and also a big hard drive to cope with the vastly bigger files that HD needs.
But power, memory and storage are, I now think, not the full answer. There is a bug or a series of bugs still to be resolved in iMovie 6 if it is to be truly stable. I include importing problems with HD in that list.
I still think iMovie 6 is fantastic, even on my underpowered iMac.
Apologies for previously confusing the issue with camcorder/tape issues.
The problem clips are still working in iMovie as I post this.

BWAV import problem

I'm a Logic beginner with a file import problem.
I have 60+ BWAV files recorded in another app (Tracktion 3). Four mics in parallell into two stereo tracks with 30+ recordings, one after another, distributed over a couple of hours. I recorded 50 short pipe organ pieces that I intend to edit in Logic 9. I have added them to the bin. I have tested to add a few to one track and "Move to Original Recording Position", but...
Logic says: "The stored time stamp of 1 region(s) exeeds the limits of this project (The time stamp of the first region is 00:00:32:18:40)"
BWAV-Reader says:
Origination Date: 2010-01-08
Origination Time: 15:15:24
Timecode Start: 00:00:32:22
Originator: Tracktion

Go to Settings → Synchronization and set Bar Position 1 1 1 1 → plays at SMPTE to 00:00:00:00
Logic defaults to 01:00:00:00:00
See if your tracks now move to position correctly.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
