Premiere 9 photo import error

When importing photos to my project in premiere 9 I keep getting an error message the files are too large or wrong codecs. The files are jpeg (shoud be supported). Mov files are no problem.

This ARTICLE will give you some background on Scaling outside of PrE and give you a workflow for automating that task.
Good luck,

Davinci Resolve 8.1.1 to Premiere CS5.5.2 import error

Importing an XML from Resolve to Premiere gives me a "File import error" "The importer reported a generic error."
The XML from Resolve opens correctly in FCP7, and exporting that Resolve XML from FCP as an XML version 5 from FCP7 is correctly opened in Premiere. Can anyone else verify they are getting the same result?
thanks,

When I removed the offline clips in Premiere and re exported the XML file to Resolve, the resulting XML file from Resolve imported directly into Premiere, No import error, which is why I think having no offline media it might be a work around.
Both the XML file from Resolve and FCP to Premiere has not caused any crashes on my end.
I'm using FCP XML-Round-Trip from Resolve when rendering and using "render clip with unique filename" As long as I render, then export the XML the conform works in Premiere, however the clip names in resolve reflect the original edit of the XML file from Premiere, and only in the file path is the corresponding Resolve renders. I can not find a way to auto reconnect the resolve renders to the exported XML if moved to another suite with out manually doing every shot. Any thoughts?
On a positive note, doing the above steps for removing offline media first in Premiere (I have not tested your suggestion yet of deleting offline files in Resolve) has solved my handle slip problems.
I'd suggest closing both Premiere and Resolve, reopen, and send a sequence from Premiere to Resolve with no offline clips when conformed in Resolve, render and export XML and open directly in Premiere. It's working for me now as long as Resolve exports a XML file without any offline clips, no more import errors or crashes.

Imported photos have error

in Lightroom 1.4 running on Mac OS X v10.5 importing from Olympus E-510,
Out of 113 photos imported, 2 photos have an error in that the whole photo is imported but these 2 photos also have the quarter-size version of the photo in upper left corner. I have deleted these photos and re-imported them and they have the same error. The camera shows the pictures correctly. They are 3648x2736 JPGs.

These 2 erroneous imports were taken a few minutes apart - but they were not adjacent photos - they were taken about 9 shots apart. They have the same resolution. There are numerous other photos taken at the same time that import correctly. All the images are in the 5-7 Mb range - these photos are not the biggest or smallest.
Experiment: I deleted (from library and disk) the 2 erroneous photos. I re-imported them by putting the compact flash card in an external reader (so Olympus E-510 is uninvolved with the import). They came in with the same error. I would note that the preview of the imported images briefly showed correctly and then when the import completely finished - the error showed up.
When I view the JPGs with Preview, the images look fine.
I cannot figure out *anything* about these 2 files that is different from all the others. I will retain the photos if you want copies.

Importing errors - photos moved but not cataloged

Hello all,
I'm having an issue with LR3 (Mac OSX 10.6.4) when importing photos from HDD into the catalog. Some of the photos imported (seemingly random) will error out with a code (8) "some files could not be moved".. or something to that effect. I used finder to validate that there are no other instances of that filename that could have been imported into the LR3 catalog.
When I open the dated folder (default LR3 save location) outside of lightroom, I see that the images were copied, however they do not appear in the catalog. If I attempt to re-import these photos from their new location (the location LR moved them to), this seems to work.
This happens about 40% of the time on import. It seems that tagging on import may be related, however I am tagging all photos in an import batch and only some are not making it into the database.
Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Thanks
Tony

Tony, I too am having this problem. Importing and moving will move the files but then fails, a sync on the new folder will finish the load process.
Until LR3 I've only "played" with Lightroom but now I'm organizing years of image in various formats. As a result I've noticed the problem is specifically related to my RAW files. If I'm not importing raw files I can import/move 10 to 20 directories no problem. But if a RAW file is involved the only way to reduce the problem is to import one directory at a time. Note I said reduce, because the error still happens on occasion. If more than one directory is being moved the problem happens 100% of the time.
Hope this helps

BUG 2.1 - ARW (Sony Raw) no photos found error during Auto Import

BUG 2.1 - ARW (Sony Raw) no photos found error during Auto Import
I've seen this issue since beta1. The issue seems to be related to a camera setting that stores the files in folders by date. The Folder structure becomes drive>DCMI>10202008>image.ARW
This "no photos found error" I have seen in beta1 LR1 LR1.1 LR1.2 LR1.3 LR1.4 and LR2.0 this is still an issue in LR2.1
Auto import works fine with canon or nikon RAW files (I've used several different cameras with no problems)
The Folder structure for canon files is drive>DCMI>100>image.CR2
Auto import Does not work with Sony A100 .ARW files with folders by date turned on I have heard from people with other Sony cameras like the A700 also have this issue.
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1
AMD 64X2 duel core 6000+ 3Ghz

I believe this is fixed in version 2.5 and 3.0

AEGP Plugin Premiere Pro Import: Unknown error

Upon importing my Premiere Pro project into AE, I get the following error:
After Effects: AEGP Plugin Premiere Pro Import: Unknown error. (5027 :: 12)
I'm using PPro 3.1.1 and AE 8.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.2. It's a 23.976 project. I've tried copy-pasting the timeline and get the same error. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,
Ryan

And if you are working on two macs, when working from the other mac save that file to your local hard drive, then creative cloud will automatically save that file to creative cloud... when you switch mac you will have the updated file in creative cloud! Open the file and when you have finished, save as to your local hard drive, and creative cloud will then again automatically save it to creative cloud! I think the easiest way to look at the cloud is seeing it as a back up so every file you save to your hard drive will be automatically backed up to creative cloud.

Import error when I try to import photos

I am trying to import photos from a card into Adobe Bridge CS6. I have never gotten an import error before today, but now I can't seem to import anything.
Any ideas why?

Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
Happy Holidays.

Import Error in Elements 10.0

Just upgraded to 10.0 and am very dissapointed with errors when importing photos from my 4TB NAS. Some folders import fine, others error out. No specific reason is given for the error and I have tried resolving the problem by selecting single folders, but even folders with just jpeg photos have errors. I have created two new catalogs with similar results. And I have shut down all but one processor with no improvement, as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nothing is stupid. Some folders and groups of folders import correctly and others do not. When I loaded PSE I had to change cd for the 64 bit version. Not sure if that makes any difference or not. Thank you!
I am sure more competent computer users will help you.
The 64 bit version is only for Premiere Elements, that I am certain of.

Lightroom 5: All photos now "Error working with this photo"

I went back to my lightroom catelog, where a lot of my photos are all on my NAS, and now all the photos are unable to be edited. "There was an error working with this photo."
Everything was working for awhile, but now every single photo is erroring out.
In the finder, i still see the photos perfectly fine. I even opened up the good 'ol Photo Mechanic 5 and opened a contact sheet, and these photos still worked. So it's not like they're corrupted or completely gone.
I created another new lightroom catelog, and tried to import the photos again. But when I select the directory the photos are in, it's empty for about 10 minutes, then shows all the photos but with "Preview unavailable for this file."
The big caveat are all these photos are on a networked NAS (Synology). I'm accessing it over WiFi which is probably the biggest problem.
The folder was mounted as a NFS folder. It was disconnected once when I had a power outage (damn wind). I since re-mounted the folder and all that. I'm not entirely sure if that's what did it or if these errors started happening after that or not. But I've moved photos to my NAS folder in my catalog just today, and they are now erroring as well. So it's not like the older ones are erroring. Just all of them are.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, but there are lots of messages in the forums about Lightroom problems specifically related to Synology NAS.
Have you spoken to Synology about this?

File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
File Import Error
The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
I've tried everything I can think of:
1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
5. Manually updated AME
6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

Tried that as well.
To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
1. On company internal server
2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.

Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
@ rotorcraft:
It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot

Why do I get "Import Errors"?

I just shot 16 clips with my Canon HD camcorder (AVCHD). I put the memory card in my desktop computer (Windows7) after I had PrE11 running. Then I clicked Video Editor/New Project/Videos from Flip cameras, AVCHD cameras.
I saw all my clips and I clicked on some in the Preview window. They played OK. But when I clicked on Get Media I got this message: Import Errors/ Error Message/File already exits at C:\Users\Tommy\Videos\
What's happening? I didn't change the Presets: File Name, and Name:Untitled.
Can someone tell me what to do to get my new clips into the Timeline.
By the way, the clips I just took were the only ones on the memory card.

Tommyvincent
This is my take on your situation based on what I understood from your description:
However you did it (maybe hitting some buttons more than once or other) your videos got imported and saved to C:\Users\Tommy\Videos\. Did you look to see if they were there? If not, please take a look in that area to confirm or refute.
If they are in my video already as I suspect, then you have at least two choices
a. Import them into Premiere Elements 11 with the program's Add Media to get them into Project Assets (correct project preset)
or
b. delete them from C:\Users\Tommy\Videos\ and then repeat the import using Add Media/ and the Video Importer route that you wanted to use.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Thanks.
