HELP: I have an impossibly long rendering time after converting .MP4 files from Go Pro Camera to .MOV on Final Cut Pro 7. PLEASE ADVISE.

I am working on a project and shot guerilla style footage with a Go Pro camera, which produced .MP4 files incompatible with FCP7. When I converted the files to .MOV, I realized the rendering time in the sequence editor is impossibly long. I am working with a deadline and the rendering time exceeds the deadline, let alone editing time. Suggestions???

Telling us you converted to .mov doesn't tell us much. MOV is a container that supports a very wide range of codecs. It is the specific CODEC that matters.
You most likely did not convert the material to a FCP7 native format. ProRes is recommended and, given the compression of the GoPro, ProRes LT would be the best choice.
Use Compressor to convert everything to ProResLT and life will be much simpler.

How can I import an mp4 file from my video camera into my iPad ?

I'm totally new to this iPad world. I would like to import a file from my video camera to edit it in iMovies. I tried adding the file through iTunes, and it appeared to transfer the file to my iPad, but I can't find any way to open the file, not even to play it. Any help would be appreciated.

The time should already be shown on the status bar, but you can't add the day and/or date to it - if you would like to have them then you coul leave feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you want to copy an attachment from an email then you can't do that directly from the Mail app. If the email is still on your provider's server then you should be able to read the email on your provider's site via a browser on your computer and save it from there directly on your computer. Otherwise you will need to copy the file from the Mail app to another app on your iPad via the 'open in' function. Do you have an app on your iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy ? How you then copy the file to your computer will depend upon what the app that you copy it to supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, dropbox etc

Corrupt Files on 4GEE Action Cam

Hi Friends I have this 4GEE Action which to fair is usually a fantastic bit of kit, except I keep running out of data from streams but thats another story. Recently Ive been usng it with a 64GB Samsung SD Card and have done since having it. For some reason all my recordings past a certain point are corrupted and wont playback on quicktime or VLC (I should point out im using a Macintosh) I have re-formatted the card and that seems OK, Reset the action cam and that seems OK as well. The camera does pick up the full 7hrs of recording time and the 16K+ of photographs so clearly the memory is readable on the card. Is anyone able to shed some light on this? I go on a diving holiday in 10 days so would love to work this out. Many thanks for any help you kind people push my way.

ive got the excact same problem

I am unable to import Raw files taken with my new camera Canon SX60HS.

I am running Elements 12, I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Camera Raw v 8.7.1 as it indicates that it supports raw files taken with this camera model. I continue to get the error that nothing imported as it did not contain supported file types. Do I have to do something further to connect this ACR program to Elements in order to have it work or am I missing something else.

The SX-60 HS requires ACR 8.7, and PSE12 is only compatible up to ACR 8.5, so you’ll either need to upgrade Elements or use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to convert a folder of raw files to DNG files, and then those DNG files will open in your older ACR.
You can get the DNG Converter from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Black Thumbnails for MP4 files in iPhoto

The MP4 files from my digital camera show up as black icons in iPhoto 09. I don't recall this happening before Snow Leopard was installed. Some MP4 files work show thumbnails. Regardless, all the MP4 files DO open via iPhoto, and the thumbnails can be seen in the Finder.
These files are MPEG4 h.264/AAC codec. If I run these files through MPEG Streamclip to remake them as the same file type, then the thumbnails DO appear in iphoto when reimported. Comparing the "get info" data on both types of the files (ones with black thumbs and ones with real thumbs) shows no difference in file types.
Short of having to convert all my small videos and reimporting them, or getting another camera who's MPEG4 is consistent with iPhoto, I'm at a loss. I have done a rather complete internet search and several others report a similar problem. The camera I am using is Samsung TL34HD.
Appreciate any help short of what I am currently doing (converting to the same file format and reimporting the videos in batches).

thanks larry. when i open in quicktime and go to the first frame, it is not black. also, for some reason, when i import the movies into itunes, the thumbnails show up fine (i.e. no black frame). i'm guessing that it has something to do with how iPhoto generates the thumbnail (vs. iTunes), but i don't know enough to change these settings.
if the first frame is in fact black, do you know if there is a way to force iphoto to use something other than the first frame when generating thumbnails?
thanks very much.

QuickTime no longer plays certain MP4 files

After upgrading from 10.6 Snow Leopard to 10.9 Mavericks, I've noticed that all the MP4 files taken with my Samsung smartphone no longer play in QuickTime (or with Quick Look), whereas they played just fine in Snow Leopard. The MP4 files use the H.264 codec. Some other MP4s I have, which use the same codec, will play in QuickTime and Quick Look. I've also found some older MOV files (using the SVQ-3 codec) that don't play now.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any fix, or does it perhaps require an OS update? Since I skipped OS 10.7 and 10.8, I don't know what the situation was there.

Try downloading and using the QuickTime 7 from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 - it might have some of the older file support still working whereas the QTX does not.

Action Cam, Recording blank files

I have an action cam with a 64gb Sandisk Card, when i set it to record it will record files of 10-12 mins at a time instead of continuous, which is fine, but after 4 files the 5th an on are totally blank, they had a data size, 1.77gb, a file name as normal, and a type .mp4 as normal. But there is no no video same with any photographs, the are all blank........ When I later added a new file without the watch it was a blank file again, if using the watch instead of just the button on camera, it works fine again. Does this mean I need to always use the watch, I paddleboard and the watch is just a pain to use all the time....

I was having exactly the same problem and fingers crossed I have sussed it. Well it worked for me, hopefully you too! The problem I had was I got a 64GB card and noticed as soon as the clip got to anythinging bigger than a few hundred MB it would not download to PC or play back for love nor money, either through the PC or the Camera app on iphone/ipad etc. I have seen EE's advice, download VLC. Well I tried that and I tried every player I had, Itunes, VLC, etc etc, all coming back with various messages, mainly saying the codec must be corrupted. EE were unable to help so..... Try formatting the card from the camera itself and not in the PC. It's in the settings, just go through the menu and you will find it. Format it in situ and voila! Now I did not do this previously beacuse as soon as i got the card and put it in the camera it seemed to work fine as I did a quick short clip to test it. It seemed that as they get bigger they did not work. Unfortunately you will lose everything you have recorded and you will not be able to recover them. I can say it has worked perfectly since, any size and EVERY time. Good luck and if this works, pass it on! It seems a common problem so hopefully, if this works for everyone, EE will add it onto the quick links.

Camera Connector Kit and SONY Digital camera MP4 files

Using the Camera Connector Kit I am able to copy SONY Digital camera MP4 files. I am unable to play it on the iPad. I have tested this on 4.2 and 4.3GM of iOS.
With more and more people using iPads this type of functionality should be working.

I agree. Why not formally suggest it to Apple since Apple really does not read/use posts from this forum.

4GEE Action Cam file splitting

Hi all, I've just purchased one of the new 4GEE action cams and am using it out running or cycling. If i'm out for any length of time then the camera is splitting the video up into roughly 12 minute segments. Is there any way i can turn this off so that the entire video is recorded to one larger file as I have plenty of room on the memory card. EE said it was to do with protecting people's data allowances but I have my data turned off and I'm not streaming anyway. Thanks in advance

Hi (and , ), I checked in with someone on our Action Cam team and found the information below. I hope it helps! Let me know.
The camera supports FAT32 which is basically how the camera more efficiently stores memory. We’ve designed the camera so it splits files every 2GB of data making it easier for customers to download each segment. The camera doesn’t stop recording but for example an 8GB card would have 4 split files making it easier to download and edit those files.
So - I'm afraid you can't switch it off, as it's not a setting that can be changed. Unfortunately not. It’s a software thing so not a setting that can be changed.
Will that work out ok for you in the end ? Your feedback using the Action Cam is really useful so if there's anything from your experience which I can pass back to the team - I'm all ears!

Does anyone know if MOV or MP4 files from the JVC GY-HM150U will work with the Camera Connection Kit and then be readable by iMovie or similar apps?

The JVC GY-HM150U camera and others in it's line say they offer recording in two different formats:
Native .MOV format
Fastest HD shoot to edit workflow. Edit immediately on Final Cut Pro™ or Premiere™ without conversion or transcoding
Native .MP4(XDCAM-EX™) format
Native File Recording
Because it uses QuickTime™ as its native file format, the GY-HM150U is the perfect choice for users of Apple's Final Cut Pro™ editing system. Both HD and SD MOV files recorded by the camcorder can be dropped directly into Final Cut Pro™, keeping them first-generation and eliminating the time-consuming process of file conversion.For users of all major NLE systems, including solutions from Adobe, Avid, Grass Valley, Vegas and Apple, the GY-HM150U supports the MP4 file format, which can be brought into your editing system without re-encoding.

and the files recorded to folders labeled "CQAV" (.MOV) or "BPAV" (.MP4), respectively, located in /PRIVATE/JVC/ off the root.
So will the Camera Connection Kit see them properly and transfer them over to Photos, and then will iMovie be able to handle them? Or is the CCK restricted to only formats derived from DSLR cameras with "DCIM" folders, as I have heard?
Any knowledge, especially first hand testing, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David

Changes made to correct the recorded file paths.

Excuse the late post but just wondering if you came up with a solution for this problem? I experienced the exact same issue but copying the movies from Aperture into iTunes (which worked) still didn't allow them to be played on the iPad. As they had played faultlessly when imported directly from the camera connection kit!

Unable to open d800 files with cs6 and camera raw 8.3

unable to open d800 files with cs6 and camera raw 8.3

Have you used Nikon Transfer on those files? Early versions are known to corrupt files so that ACR can't read them. Nikon has since fixed the bug so new versions are safe.

Unable to open mp4 files from legato video converter

I converted my hi8 tapes to mp4 files using legato video converter. I am unable to open the mp4 files in adobe premiere 11. Please help

double nn
Thanks for the additional information.
This is what I would like you to try.
Make copies of your present AVCHD.mp4 file. And, then go through the process of renaming the file extension ONLY from:
mp4
to
.mts, m2t, m2ts, .mov, .avi.
Then set up a Premiere Elements 11 new project by
a. Setting your own project preset NTSC DV Standard
To do that, in the Premiere Elements 11 workspace, File Menu/New/Project. Then in the New Project Dialog, set for NTSC DV Standard, making sure that you put a check mark next to "Force this Project setting on this project" before you click OK.
b. Then import your AVCHD.mp4, AVCHD.mts, AVCHD.m2t, AVCHD.m2ts, AVCHD.mov, AVCHD.avi into Premiere Elements 11 with its Add Media feature.
Do any of the files with the different file extensions import?
We will be watching for the outcome.
Thanks.
