Just a reminder to those reading your thread...at the onset I wrote
There are certain .avi files with certain video compression that can be highly problematic, such as,
AVCHD.avi
And, we have been pursuing that line of troubleshooting by use of the conversion of the AVCHD.avi to an .mp4 file. Right now, the issue is not which method, but getting the export settings of the conversion method correct. It would appear that your conversion settings with Koyote got away from you, especially with the frame size and frame rate.
We need to get an import whose properties match the Premiere Elements project settings, set by you or the project. Right now I am suggesting that you set the project setting manually yourself before you import your converted file, as per the how to toward the bottom of the following.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
But, first the conversion...by whatever method you select, I am suggesting the following H.264.mp4 as a 4:3 file.
Go back to the AVCHD (H.264).avi and convert it to H.264.mp4.
Let us target for
Frame Width 640 pixels
Frame Height 480 pixels
Frame Rate 29.97 frames per second
Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.0.  (also known as Square Pixels)
Then open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
Change the project preset to
NTSC
FLIP
Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
Do not forget the check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space" as you exit the new project dialog.
Then import your converted H.264.mp4 file into Premiere Elements with Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the file to the Timeline. There should be no black borders anywhere.
Does Koyote conversion offer the settings that I mentioned. If not, we can discuss using HandBrake which I thought might be easier and quicker to use.
Please review and then let us decide if we are on course.
Thanks.

  • Lightroom 4.1 will not import files with a backslash in the name

    Lightroom 4.1 will not import files with a name containing a backslash "\" I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Under Preferences I have checked and "Treat the following characters as illegal" is set to "/:"

    Your preferences and configurations will not be deleted. Of course, I'd advice you to back it up anyway and then completely remove LR.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

    I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
    Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
    I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
    I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here  that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem.  But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
    Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
    Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

    Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
    Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
    I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
    I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
    Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
    I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
    I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

  • One album will not import to authorized computer

    I have a Macbook and an iMac.  Both are set up to share, both are authorized in iTunes under the Apple ID I've had for years. I make all purchases on the Macbook. Then I copy them over to my iMac by selecting the Macbook under "Shared," choosing "Show: items not in my library," and importing those songs to the iMac. I copy all purchases onto the iMac so I can delete rarely-listened-to songs/albums from the Macbook when space gets low, which is often.
    There is one album that the iMac will not let me import. For each song from that one album, I get an error saying there's a problem downloading it, because "You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    The crazy thing is, my network connection is just fine; albums I purchased minutes before and after this one copied over fine. It's just this specific album that will not import. The summary pane for each of the album's songs look the same as all my other files: purchased AAC audio files, same bit rate, same sample rate, shows my name and Apple ID as the purchaser, same directory location on my computer, all files have the .m4a extension, ... nothing at all seems strange or unusual about this album's files.
    Does anyone have a clue why this is happening and how to fix it? In the past month, I've imported close to 12,000 songs. This is the only album this has ever happened with.
    P.S. If anyone's curious which album won't transfer, it's Beck's Sea Change, purchased October 2nd, 2012. Oddly enough, I originally purchased this album (from iTunes) in 2008, but in 2009 iTunes began saying it couldn't locate the files. I didn't delete them — they just up and disappeared. That's never happened with anything else before or since, either. It's as if there's something wrong with the files of this particular digital album.

    Hello welcome to apple discussions,
    Itunes does tend to "Mess Up" sometimes when Importing/adding by folder. what you first need to do is try adding each file by going to File>Add FILE to library in iTunes.
    If you do this and get no error message or anything but the one file you just tried to add does not show in iTUnes, its one or the other, Either the tags are corrupt or the song itself is corrupt. iTunes tends to be more "Picky" on windows then other windows based programs.
    You can test the tag issue by searching google or yahoo for a program called "TidyMP3". Just pick one song that will not go into iTUnes, use Tidy MP3 to "Strip" the ID3 tag off this test song and then try to add it to iTUnes. If it goes in you now know the issue and can use this program to strip all tags off your "Problem" MP3s.
    If it doesn't theres something wrong with the song itself. I covered a similar issue before where the person had the songs in iTUnes but it wouldn't play because the song was corrupt and they seemed to come accross great programs for fixing this so heres the link to that post, you can overlook it and follow the links they provide http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2487497#2487497

  • Bookmarks Safari 5.0.5 will not import into Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS 10.6.8

    I am on Mac OS 10.6.8. When trying to import bookmarks from Safari 5.0.5, they will not import/display into Firefox 17.0.
    I have tried the following from the bookmark menu:

  • AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

    I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
    I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
    *+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
    Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
    I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

  • IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

    I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows  The following file could not be imported.  The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
    I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
    Any ideas anyone?
    Wilson

    I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
    Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

  • Just installed Iphoto 6 and many photos will not import to Iphoto...

    About half of my photos from one of my rolls from this Spring will not import into Iphoto6. I can open them up from my hard drive but they will not import into Iphoto. Any tips?

    Chris:
    Even though you've gotten back up and running if you have any thumbnails that show up as blanks again try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    The blank thumbnails after updating to v6 are often a result of permissions on the files getting messed up somehow preventing you from having access to them. Running BatChmod on the library folder as demonstrated will force the correct ownership and permissions on all of the files.

  • Advice on .jpg files that will not import

    I have .jpg files that are not importing into LR even though they open fine on my Mac. Is there anyway I can find out why LR will not import them? Any advice for dealing with images like this?
    Thanks.

    Usually it's due to Lr perceiving some file wonkiness that your Mac is less picky about (Lr prefers to keep details of such to itself...). ExifTool could probably fix it, without re-creating image data, if you knew how, but it might be simplest to just re-save the file using any software that will work, maybe save in tiff format, to prevent quality loss due to re-jpeg'ing a jpeg, and maybe metadata will be re-written in a format more palatable for Lightroom.

  • Lightroom 4.4 will not import NEF RAW files from Nikon D610

    I shoot a Nikon D800 and have never had any issues importing my NEF RAW files into Lightroom. I borrowed a friend's Nikon D610 and shot a bunch of NEF RAW files. I downloaded them to my computer the same way I always do. For some reason, Lightroom will not import them. The error message is: "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (455)"
    My Lightroom 4.4 is current and up-to-date.
    Bottom line: I have a bunch of RAW photo files I can't import into Lightroom for editing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    >Just curious -- is there some difference between the NEF files created on my Nikon D800 (which are easily imported into Lightroom) and the NEF files created on the Nikon D610 (which are not easily imported into Lightroom)
    Lightroom 5 supports the D610. There is a big difference between nef from the D610 and older cameras. They were shot with a camera that Adobe hadn't profiled yet when LR 4.4 was out. Otherwise, if you hack the nef files to read that they were shot on a D600, LR 4.4 will read them, but I would caution against doing that as the sensor is slightly different on the D610 than on the D600, resulting in differences in color rendering. Simplest is as dj says to convert the nets to dng (which embeds the newer profiles in the file) or to upgrade to LR 5.

  • Premiere Pro CC will not import .mov files

    Having issues with Premiere Pro CC, I cannot import .MOV files created with my Canon 6D.
    If I try to import the files, I get a very generic "File format not supported" error msg.
    This is a new install of Premiere CC on a new computer. I was able to import them using Premiere Pro CC on the old computer.
    Quicktime will play these files fine on my new computer.
    Premiere Pro CS6 will import these files on the new computer.
    Premiere Pro CC would open them fine on my old computer.
    I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
    Here are my system details:
    OSX 10.9.3
    new Mac Pro
    3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5
    64 GB RAM
    Files are on external G-Tech Thunderbolt drive.

    That was I was thinking at first, but if Premiere CS6 (installed on the same computer) imports and plays them, they must be on the system, no?
    I really do not want to transcode. I have an existing project that uses the videos and the project on the new system will not import them or re-link to the videos. Really trying to get away from having to re-create the project and re-edit.
    Thanks!

  • .mov will not import

    File, Import movies only allows some .mov file to be imported. I, of course, have some that will not import (they are grayed out).
    How can I get them to a format that will be read by iMovie? If I buy the pro Quicktime, will it let me open them, save as to a more modern .mov file that imovie will read?
    These .mov files are old, I am not sure how old.
    Isn't .mov an apple format? I am surprised iMovies doesn't handle them better.
    Thanks
    bob

    Sorry to but in on a problem solving situation, but my daughter is having the exact same problem. She was given six videos that were taken with a digital camera, I converted them to .mov files with my version of Quicktime and imovie still will not recognize them. I opened movie inspector and it states that its format is MPEG1 Muxed 480 x 240 pixels
    fps 25
    playing fps (Available while playing)
    data size 3,74 MB
    date rate 2901.60 kbits/s
    The movies are grayed out when trying to import them
    I'd appreciate your help as my daughter needs to get the movie project finish for school within a few days. Thanks.

  • Adobe LR3 will not import image files.  Running on Mac OS 10.6.4

    When I try to import images into LR3 I get the errors show on attached screenshots.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    I'm having the same problem and I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4 as well.
    I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)".  They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter.  I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either).  I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
    I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
    I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then.  The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
    Any suggestions?
    Update:  I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error.  I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
    Update #2:  I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images.  Lightroom 2 imports just fine.  This is becoming infuriating.
    Anyone have any suggestions yet?
