Panasonic RAW files won't import into Aperture 3

I've just upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3, mainly to start using the RAW format with my camera, a Panasonic GH2. The Apple support page clearly states that Aperture 3 supports the RAW format for this camera while the version 2 does not.
Today I've loaded Aperture and fired a few test shots, some in jpeg and some in RAW. When I connected the camera to my Mac the shots seem to have loaded but only the ones in jpeg format are visible. The RAW files are represented in the browser by blank squares; when I click on them each one states 'Unsupported Image Format'
Do I need to change something in the import settings in order to load RAW files to Aperture 3, something which doesn't apply to jpegs? Or does Aperture 3 simply not support the format for my camera, despite what is stated on the Apple support pages.
Thanks,
Mike

Problem sorted. I updated all my software and the RAW files now load correctly.

  • PSD duotone files won't import into Aperture

    I have files that are saved as PSD and are duotone files. When I try to import in Aperture, I get an error and the files don't import. What's up?

    I usually convert them back to a color model that aperture understands - like rgb - technically it's non destructive if you are not using spot inks in your output.

  • Raw files won't import when shot in raw+jpg

    I just shot in raw+jpg for the first time. Lightroom 4 won't import the raw file but will import the jpg. It says something like "lightroom doesn't support this raw file format". I don't get it though because if I shoot in just raw it will import fine.

    If your camera is supported by current version of Lightroom, then the raw file(s) should import.
    So, is Canon EOS Rebel XS 1000D supported by Lr4.3? If so, it should go (assuming you've got 4.3 installed), if no go, a bug report should be submitted, promptly, at:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
    If not, consider a feature request ('Idea', for camera support) using same link.

  • CS3 .ste files won't import into CS5

    I recently upgraded from CS3 <on XP> to CS5 <on Mac Snow Leopard.> I expected a learning curve, but I also expect that software works as specified.
    My CS3 site definition files won't import. I followed the instructions in DW help to the letter:
    Manage Sites---> Import--->browsed to .ste files, selected Choose, and nothing happens. The sites don't show up in the list in the Manage Sites dialog box. ARE THERE MISSING INSTRUCTIONS? IS THERE A PLUG-IN MISSING?
    After I've tried to import them, the .ste files are then 'greyed out' from the list of files. It doesn't matter what source the .ste files come from: jumpdrive, email, etc.
    Note:  This is a new, fresh & clean Snow Leopard install, and my files were transfered at the Apple Store. The CS5 install was just last week as well.
    I have client sites to update. Please help!

    Yes, I did export the .ste files from XP/CS3. I saved them to a jumpdrive, and also emailed them to my Macbook. I know some people don't read or follow instructions before they ask for help, but that's not the case.
    This seems to be a CS5 issue in Mac Snow Leopard. Important note; I was able to import the .ste files to an XP machine running a demo version of CS5. I've moved site files before with CS, CS2, and CS3, on XP. Never had an issue with those flavors or that OS.
    On my Mac, after I attempt to import the .ste files, they become 'greyed out'. All other file types (.html, etc.) also appear 'greyed out'. It seems like there's a missing step in the instructions?
    Update:  I right-clicked the .ste files in my Downloads file, and chose 'Open with Dreamweaver'. THEN they imported successfully, and prompted me to choose the root folders. (If nobody answers the front door, knock on the back door!)
    Thanks to all for your suggestions, but I think the problem is behind me. Long live the right click!

  • Sony A77 Raw Files Won't Import Without Crashing

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2010, iPhoto crashes when I try to import. So far I have reinstalled Mac OS X 4 times and iLife (after deleting everything) once. This is from the crash log "*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayI removeAllObjects]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1eef4b70'." I have no idea how to fix this.
    My iPhoto crash log:

    Also everything on my computer is up-to-date.
    Is anyone else having this problem with the Sony Alpha 77 (A77) and its Raw files?

    OT:  Sony DSLR talk.
    Your response indicates you took my comment as a challenge to your decision.  It wasn't.  I own both.  The a900 has the biggest, brightest viewfinder ever put on a camera.  It's worth experiencing sometime.  Michael Reichman reports (discussing the Nikon D800/e):
    Optical Viewfinder
    There has been so much attention paid to the latest generation of mirrorless cameras and their electronic viewfinders that it's worth mentioning that as good as they are, a full-frame optical viewfinder through a large glass prism is still the gold standard. I discussed this with an illustrative example in my recent Sony NEX-7 Six Months On Report.
    But, having said that (as Seinfield was wont to say), this isn't the biggest and the brightest OVF on the market. A Sony A900, for example, is much brighter. Not that the D800/E is poor in this regard, it just isn't brilliant (literally and figuratively).

  • Red files won't import into CS5

    Hi all,
    I shot some footage yesterday on a Red Epic. The files are .rd3. Premiere Pro CS5 is suppossed to have native support for Red files, but they won't import - I get a "file import failure" message. The error says "unsupported format or damaged file"
    The files aren't damaged.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    CS5 supports pre-Mysterium-X RED One media.  To import later builds and media from Epic/Scarlet, you need the RED Epic importer.
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/redepic_importer.html
    The new CS6 will have support for this built-in.

  • Movie file won't import into iMovie

    I have a digital camera that records video (Nikon Coolpix L4). It saves videos as .mov files. When I try to import them into iMovie, it gives me an unknown error. I have tried converting the .mov files into another format using MPEG Streamclip, but that also reports an error.
    Any suggestions? Is this fixable or does it have something to do with my camera, not my software?

    Hi
    iMovie 1 to 6 is for miniDV Cameras and connects only via FireWire.
    All other material has to be concerted.
    .mov - is no specific file type - just a container.
    Has to be converted to streamingDV to be imported into iMovie 1 - 6.
    If You try iMovie'08 it might be able to import.
    Or use MPEG Streamclip. Why this doesn't work I can't figure.
    May be You need to buy and install: Apple mpeg2 component - BUT NOT SURE at all.

  • CR2 files won't import into iPhoto

    Have recently done a photographic course and was advised to shoot in RAW from now on.  Just taken a load of pictures in RAW using a Canon 70D).  But when I try to import them, I get this message:
    "The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format."
    I'm using iPhoto 9.2.3 on an iMac using OS X 10.6.8.
    Canon's own software will imprt them but I can't get them into iPhoto.
    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Hi Rudegar
    Followed your advice and looked at Genieo.  But this seems to be a front for an alternative web browser. Indeed I'm wondering whether it could be malware because now I can't get rid of it!  Every time I drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash bin I get this message:
    I've shut down the computer and restarted it.  I've dragged all the elements to the Trash bin - and now it won't allow me to empty it - instead I get this message:
    So, now 2 questions:
    Is there a particular CR2 you would recommend?
    And, how do I get rid of this new stuff?
    Many thanks.

  • Camera Raw Files won't open into Photoshop CC

    I'm having intermittent problems with Camera Raw and/or Photoshop CC.  Here's my flow...
    1.  Open Adobe Bridge and double click on the NEF file I want.
    2.  File opens into Camera Raw
    3.  I make adjustments
    4.  I click on Open Object (whether or not smart object is checked in preferences)
    5.  Nothing happens...it just goes back to the thumbnail in Adobe Bridge
    My Camera Raw preferences are set:  "Automatically open JPEGs with settings"
    Camera Raw Version 8.2.0.94
    Adobe Bridge Version 5.0.2.4
    Photoshop CC Version 14.1.2 x64
    Nikon D7100
    Does anybody know how to rectify this?  I'd appreciate the help!  I'm sure it's probably something simple I'm overlooking, but sometimes it seems to work...that's what makes me wonder.

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

  • 2.98GB .m4v File won't import into iMove 11?

    I ripped a family movie off a DVD converted from a VHS tape, using Handbrake into an .m4v file and have tried twice now to import it into iMovie 11 without success.  Is there some kind of limit that would make this fail?  It starts building a .mov file in the iMove projects directory and I can see the file size increase until the very end (2 hours later) and then it gets deleted.  Ugly.  What am I doing wrong or are my expectations of iMovie too high?

    So after waiting all this time, iMovie simply deleted the file the end without adding it to my event.  No error.  No joy and almost 13GB.

  • SD card won't import into Aperture, auto-ejects when trying to load preview

    Tonight, after installing Leopard, I tried to import photos from an SD card through my SanDisk reader, just as I always have, and as soon as Aperture tries to display previews of what's on the card it causes the card/reader to auto-eject, and I get the message stating that the disk was not removed properly...
    So, how do I get my images in Aperture now?

    Yes.  The card mounts on the desktop.
    There may be mixed formats on the card, not sure.
    Definitely 1080/24fps
    Maybe a few 1080/30fps.
    If I use ClipWrap or Media Converter will the files remain at the same level of compression?
    No loss of quality from original file?

  • Existing video files won't import into Lightroom 4.1

    I have several hundred videos I have taken, either with a Canon SD800, Canon S95, Canon T2i or a GoPro.
    New videos I take on this equipment works just fine when adding to Lightroom. But when I try to import older files, I get error: video file not imported with the quantity in parenthesis.
    I have tried purging the video cache, I have tried task manager - disabling dynamiclinkmanager and dynamiclinkmediaserver. Occasionally I will be able to import one or two videos after doing this but then it hangs up again.
    Running Win7, LR4.1.
    I don't have anything else up and running when I do this.
    Any ideas? This is really frustrating me as I want my catalog to be complete.

    I am having almost exactly the same problem with Lightroom 4 and now, with Lightroom 5.
    I was able to import  RAW formats from the folders already on my external RAID harddrive. However, I was unable to import video from the same folders.  I can sometimes get a few video files to import, but then the import process runs for a very long time,and I get an popup error message "There was a problem importing the video".
    It is impossible to "syncronize folder" because the same thing happens and the import process ends with the popup error message "There was a problem importing the video".  Sometimes I am also unable to upload photos because the import process crashes because of video files.
    An online search reveals that a number of peopel have similar problems but that no clear solution exists.This simply should not be happening in program like Lightroom that has a huge crew of developers to support it.
    My system:
    Lenovo W520
    2.20 gigahertz Intel Core i7-2720QM
    16 gigs RAM
    64 kilobyte primary memory cache
    256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
    6144 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
    64-bit ready
    Multi-core (4 total)
    Hyper-threaded (8 total)

  • Longer movie files won't import into iPhoto

    I have a Canon PowerShot SD950IS 12.1MP Digital Camera which takes surprisingly video, and I was surprised to see that iPhoto even imports movies to begin with, but there's a glitch. Shorter movies import fine, but anything longer than a minute or two never finish importing. The camera says busy, and eventually, iPhoto stops, but the movie never shows up in the iPhoto window. Is there a limit to video size in iPhoto?
    Also, I would like to import videos and photos into separate applications. Is there a way to tell iPhoto not to import or delete movies from a camera, and only work with picture files? That would simplify just using the Canon software for the movie portion (which does work).
    One other thing, does iMovie work with USB now, or is it still Firewire only?
    Thanks!

    If you use a card reader to mount the memory card from your camera on the Mac's desktop, you can copy your videos to the hard drive by dragging and dropping, then import them into iMovie or whatever.
    This suggestion presumes that when you connect the camera directly to the Mac, like most other recent Canon models, the card inside it doesn't mount on the desktop. Using a card reader will mount it. If the card does mount on the desktop when you connect the camera, just drag and drop the movies from it to the hard drive.

  • .avi files won't import into imovie 09!

    Hi,
    I make sims movies/machinima and I recently updated from imovie HD to imovie09.
    The recording features on sims 3 save the files as .avi, and I have recently realized...
    I cannot import them into imovie 09!
    There are around 300 of these in game recorded videos, and i don't really want to convert them ALL seperately.
    Is there an app/ add on that would let imovie09 import .AVI files? or is there another (reasonably priced0 editing program that i could use to edit movies? ( preferably with chroma key/ green screen )

    Well, here is a hail Mary thought...
    Try using the Mac's finder to convert to a codec that your Mac can handle. Just right click on the file and encode away.
    Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
    Here is a link showing how to do it.

  • MXF files won't import into Adobe Premiere CS6

    I can't get mxf files to open in Adobe Premiere CS6. I'm working on the newest Mac Book Pro- OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I tried importing the files through the media browser but I can't open them that way either. I see the mxf video icon but when I try to open it I get this error message -"the importer reported a generic error."  I ran all the updates for adobe and apple, but still these files don't open. Help please.

    If I double click on the word holiday, it just shows the file folders. In the file folders the mxf files still don't open.
