No sound in camera import dialog?

Using a Canon HV20 in iMovie 09. I can play the video in the camera import dialog but there is no sound. Is it how it's supposed to work? If I import actual footage, the sound plays fine in iMovie, just not in the camera import dialog.
Idea? Thought?

Yes, this is how it works. You will only notice it on DV, because other formats are imported faster or slower than real time.

Attempt Import and after Choose Clicked - No Import Dialog

When attempting to import pictures, after I select the pictures to import, then click choose, the box closes, but the next import diaglog box does not open.
Then,the program is locked and nothing works until ESC is pressed.
All worked fine before with CS2 Premium and Lightroom 1.4.
However, I now have CS3, and both Lightoom 1.4 and 2.1 don't import photos as explained above.
Is there a conflict or some routine I have to run to sort this out? Thank you!

It sounds like the Import dialog is off-screen. Did you used to have two monitors and now only have one, or used to have a higher resolution and now have a lower resolution?
If it is off-screen, the way you can get it back is to use the Move command that most all Window's-windows have. You can access it by using Alt-Space when the window has focus, which would be just after you do the Choose... command.
Hit Alt-Space and then M and then use the cursor-arrow keys to move the window in one direction then the other until you see it peek onto the screen.
You can try this with an on-screen window to see what happens.
If you're on a Mac there is likely an equivalent command sequence.

Import Dialog not opening when Camera Card inserted

Have set this option in LR2 preferences. However as I also have PS Elements 6 this loader opens instead. Have set auto play for the card reader to open LR to no avail. Have tried re-installing LR no change. Using Windows XP.
Alan

Lee, I to have just discovered that the import dialog does not pop up. The help says it is supposed to work that way so I thought I had some kind of problem. Are you saying the help is wrong and it has been changed. Not documented?
I am also on Windows XP, SP2 and I cannot figure out how to make auto import work. Is there some set up that may not be documented on how to do this?
I mean I can always go file>import from disk or file>import from device but I was surprised to find the import dialog not pop up when a card is inserted. The check box is there in preferences>import to suggest along with help menu, that it should work.
Appreciate any feedback.

Very low resolution previews using loupe in import dialog

Hi,
I had connected Canon 6D via usb to import photos to Lr. However in import dialog using loupe view I get very low resolution previews even if I zoom all way up. It doesn't make any changes in preview resolution, it's like 200x300 pixels at most. I shoot both raw and jpeg and it is the same. Tried full card format. Doesn't help. I can zoom normaly in camera screen. Is it related to the fact that I connected camera directly via usb instead of using card reader? I use latest Lr (5.6) and latest camera firmware (1.1.4).

A raw file usually has two previews embedded in it, a tiny thumbnail preview and a larger zoomable preview. It sounds like LR is only able to retrieve the tiny thumbnail preview even though you are able to zoom in on previews in the camera. Unless the camera, itself, is actually decoding the raw file to produce the zoomable preview and none is in the raw file for LR to see.
You can use the following website to investigate what previews are available in a raw file: http://regex.info/exif.cgi You want to click the Browse button next to Local Image File and navigate to a raw file and click Ok, then click the View Image From File button, then wait for the raw file to be uploaded, after which information about the raw file will be shown including the sizes of the previews and raw image.
As to your question about whether using a card reader might help, try it and see. There could be a system driver getting in the way when the camera, itself, is plugged in.

Camera Import Plugin XDCAM - not working for me!

I recently discovered Sony's "Camera Import Plug-In for Apple Final Cut Pro X (FCPX)."
Sounds really useful, so I went for it.
Downloaded it in seconds, installed it (and got the "Installation Successful" confirmation).
Launched FCP X - nothing!
Using Spotlight and Finder,I can't find where it installed, I can't find any instructions - what's going on?
Can someone please tell me how to get it to work?
Andy

Oh?
Working on mine (I'd rather the plugin worked).
This all it gives you - if you click the link, it's the release notes (no instructions).

I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder

I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder on my sequence bar of my Premiere Pro CS6. Even if I use my Media Browser to import the file, the video plays fine, but the audio is disabled it seems. I don't know what to do since I have used .MTS files before without hassle on CS5.5. It is quite frustrating. What can I do?

Hi debesh05,
Please mention the Operating System that you are using and also make and model of the Camera that was used to capture those clips. Also, try to make another folder with the same name in the same location where the .MTS files are and move all the clips into the new folder and then try to import the files again using Media Browser in Premiere Pro CS6. If this doesn't work then make a copy of one file and rename it as .M2TS and then import that single file into Premiere Pro CS6. Please update if either of the solution works for you.

Vinay

LR5 Import dialog does not list any images

Lightroom 5 is not seeing that a folder of images I'm trying to import has any images in it. The folder is question has well over 5,000 jpegs (it's my iPhone image depository). While I was able to import images from this folder with no problem in LR4, LR5 is telling me that there are no images in the folder. I've double checked that all my import settings are normal and the same as LR4 and it doens't matter. No matter what I do, I cannot get LR5 to see that there are any images in this folder to import.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Antonio
Here's an image of what's happening:

"If the folder already exists in the Folder panel, select it and Choose Library > Synchronize Folder."
It doesn't exist in the Folder panel. It never has. It would mess up my workflow to have it as such. I only import from this folder.
Try (via finder) moving a few of the images in the folder to another folder that has been cataloged. Then synchronize that folder to see if the images show.
I did this and the images showed up fine, so there is nothing wrong with the image files.
Instead of invoking the Import Dialog first, drag an image from th Camera Roll folder onto the Library module or the Lr icon. That will bring up the import dialog. see if you get the same results.
Did this and it did not work.
Why this is strange is that I have no problem importing from the same folder in Lightroom 4. Something has changed here in LR5.

Lightroom 5.6 Import dialog empty on Win 8

Hello
For the last couple of weeks I have problems with LR5.6 import window unable to see any files for import on removable card, camera, local drive or network drive. If I drag files from explorer to lightroom the import dialog opens but the import screen remain empty
Windows 8 64 bit CC licence.
Problems appeared to begin after update through CC but since then I've tried
1 - new catalog
2- reinstall 5.6
3 - uninstall and revert to 5.4
All without success same problem - now reinstalled 5.6 and don't think it was an update problem.
I'm not aware of any LR options that would restrict filetypes showing in the import dialog
I'm not aware of other changes I've made that would affect file associations etc. - there have been some automatic windows updates.
There are no problems viewing / opening the files with windows explorer or photoshop etc. and all the images currently in my catalog are fine and editable in LR - it's just the import dialog that is blank
It doesn't help with workflow!!
Any ideas would be great

As per the below article, you need to update your Lightroom to the latest version and in your case, you have already done that.
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/import-dialog-blank-lightroom-5.html
I would suggest you to reset Lightroom preferences and then check the same.
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/recover-catalog-images-resetting-lightrooms.html#id_90 046
Did you update to Win 8.1? If not, install the Win 8.1 update and try the same.
Hope that Helps!

Lightroom 5.0 fails to automatically open import dialog when memory card inserted

Lightroom 5.0 fails to detect memory card and open import dialog. This has always worked fine in Lightroom 4, 3,and 2. Same cards, same camera, same iMac using OS X 10.8.4. Manual importing works OK, card is detected just fine.

I have tested Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 5 on Mac OSx 10.9.4 and find no difference in behavior.
If you have correctly set Image Capture to auto-launch Lightroom on insertion of card and you have set Lightroom to launch the Import dialog upon insertion of card, this is expected behavior:
1. If Lightroom is not open open, inserting a Memory Card will launch Lightroom without opening the Import Dialog
2. If Lightroom is open already, inserting a Memory Card will open the Import Dialog.
I can find no combination of settings in Lightroom 4 or 5 that allow you to, with Lightroom closed, insert a card and have Lightroom launch and open the Import dialog. I would sure love to see someone produce a screen vid capture of Lightroom 4 opening by itself and launching an import dialog upon card insertion with no user intervention.

Aperture 3.1: Import dialog hangs

I discovered the folloing problem: When opening the import dialog and browsing through different directories with raw files, at some point the whole dialog hangs with the "spinning wheel" and "Loading media".
When this occurs, i can continue browsing through directories, but aperture doesn't display the contents.
This is reproducable on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. On both systems also with fresh clean install of 10.6.4 and Aperture 3.1 only.
There are also some messages in the system log when this occurs:
Oct 24 12:24:31 MacPro Aperture[313]: Thread Main Thread Exception NSMutableRLEArray objectAtIndex:effectiveRange:: Out of bounds Caught while posting: MSG --- CAT: Internal Local Object(0xEFF); TASK: (null)(0x1); PRI: 3; REPLY: 0; SYNCH: 0; THREAD: <XTThread:0x1236c0d60 'Album Assets' state: Waiting, handlers:\n <XTObject: 0x1236b4730 (0)>>; DEST: (null)
Oct 24 12:24:40: --- last message repeated 2 times --- Oct 24 12:24:40 MacPro Aperture[313]: NSMutableRLEArray objectAtIndex:effectiveRange:: Out of bounds
Someone else discovering such problems?
BR,
Mark.

Found the problem: The "hang" of the import dialog occurs if there is only ONE file in the directory!!!
I.e.: If i have a subdirectory for example 20101002 an there is exactly one raw file in it (no matter from which camera), the trouble begins. I can't cancle dialog, i can't navigate to other subdirectories, i only can quit Aperture.
If I put a second RAW file in this diretory, than there are no prblems at all. Aperture woks as desinged.
Can anyone try to reproduce this bug on his system?
I think thats a simple error in coding the import dialog ant it's connected to the bug when the last image stays selected when you press "Deselect all".
As in the latter case, if there are more than one image in the directory and i only select one and then try to cancle the import dialog, it also hangs.
So there seems to be a problem if there is only one file or only one selected file in the directory!

"Get photos from camera" advanced dialog sort order

Hello All,
I'm having a problem with the order of the photos in the advanced dialog when there are photos from more than one date. The import dialog orders the photos by decreasing date and increasing time. For example, a series of photos with the date/times (in order of being taken):
10/20/11 11:30 PM
10/20/11 11:31 PM
10/20/11 11:34 PM
10/21/11 01:03 AM
10/21/11 01:04 AM
will display as:
10/21/11 01:03 AM
10/21/11 01:04 AM
10/20/11 11:30 PM
10/20/11 11:31 PM
10/20/11 11:34 PM
Now imagine say one or two thousand photos taken over three or four days and wanting to rename them. Right now I have to load the group associated with each day, and then keep adjusting the index number so that the naming scheme will make any sense. This was asked in the previous post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2981895#2981895 and has not been answered. The photo order really makes no sense to me. Surely there is some way of fixing this?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris Jones

OK, here is the situation as I see it.
Took another round of pictures on day two. Used the same method as outlined in post # 7. The day 2 photos show up first and then day 1 photos. This is in the same order as the pictures are shown on the card, with the newest pictures at the front. So if using advanced rename it starts the rename at the first picture on the card and works down, in this case newest to oldest.
Now I took the same card and pictures and used the method I always use. Short date + custom name. In this case since you are not renaming the pictures, it uses the camera name and therefore the pictures are labeled from oldest to newest. This is because the camera labels in an advancing sequence starting at the first picture.
So the easy way to avoid the problems you are addressing is to download the pictures to Bridge using the camera name, use the correct sort order, or manual sort to order pictures, and then do a batch rename. As the batch rename starts at the first pictures and works its way to the last picture in sequence.
If you feel this is awkward for your workflow I would suggest you submit a feature request to have a sort order on the photo downloader for some future update. If enought people submit the same request it may get done.
Let me know if this answers the question satisfactorily.

Missing previews in import dialog

During import directly from my D700 I can't see previews of images in import dialog box. I shoot to 14bit lossless compressed NEFs. Any other D700 user have this problem? Thanks.

Directly from D700. This camera doesn't have mass storage, but probably it is not related to the problem.
I will try what happen when import from card reader...

Why can't LR import dialog see images on my flash drive or drive drive.

Everything was working great and now LR (version 5.6/camera raw 8.6) import dialog cannot see images on my flash drive or on my hard drive. I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina running on OS X 10.10 There are no issues using the same flash card on my wife's MBP with LR for imports (uses the same LR S/W version and runs on OS X 10.10 as my MBP). Also, iPhoto and Preview can read and import the Flashcard images just fine. I'm puzzled. Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you i found disk utilities... however i was reading in another area of the community that if I reformat it on my mac that it wont work on a pc.... The whole reason for doing this is so i can give my rough editted footage to my buddy so he can combine all the footage from our unit and make one big video, and he has a pc. Also if reformatting is the cure to this problem how do i know what to reformat it to. It doesnt tell me partition sizes for each option.

Lightroom 5.3. Import dialog

THe Import Dialog doesn't Show THe RAW files of my Panasonic Lumix GH2. I didnt have any Problems with Lightroom 3.
Did anybody has an idea?

This issue may have nothing to do with the camera per se.
Try expanding the destination sub panel on the R-hand side of the import dialog and see what happens.
Let us know if there is still an issue.

How can I expand the source panel on the Import dialog window (mac LR3.3)?

Hello,
How can I expand the source panel to the right under the Import dialog window?
I'm unable to drag the seperation line to the right and therefor unable to view folder names when in lower hirarchy...
thanks you

shouldn't there be at least a scroling bar from left to right? How am I suppose to view my sub folders names?
To a lesser extent, the same problems exists on all panels, whether they be in import window or elsewhere. Just look at the Folder panel in Library to see how much space is wasted in offsetting the subfolders. When this was pointed out to the relevant folk the reply came back that it was by design. Bad design, but we're pi...g into a head wind trying to get it changed.
