Problem changing imported video from "music" to "tv show" category

i imported some tv shows that i already had on my computer (i didn't get the from the itunes music store) and, by default, the video shows up under the "movies" category in my ipod. i have some other tv shows that i did buy from the itunes music store, and it shows up under the "tv shows" category. when i change the non-music store videos to "tv shows" under the options tab, they then disappear and don't get transferred to my ipod at all. can i work around this?

  • Problem with importing videos from Aperture

    I was able to import videos from Aperture within FCPX.  However, when I tried to import some older videos, the following error message appeared:
    "No importable files
    None of the selected files or folders can be imported.  Change the selection and try again."
    I noticed that all the video files older than about three months didn't work, and all the newer files worked, regardless what camera it was from (D800, iPhone, m4/3 camera)
    I opened up the aperture library package and compared the permission for one video file that I could import, and one that I couldn't.  They have the same permissions, so it isn't a permission issue.  I tried exporting the problem video from Aperture and importing it into FCPX, and it accepted it.
    The other thing I've noticed that is for the files that I imported from Aperture library, the video files in the Original Media folder are only around 250 KB.  It seems that they are only aliases.  All the more reason I need to find a way to drag videos from Aperture into FCPX, as the files aren't duplicated.
    Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    Aperture drag'n'drop export only creates reference movies (which can break!)
    Background of your issue:
    If you simply drag your video file(s) from the Aperture window to the Desktop (in my case a MP4 from my Galaxy Nexus, the original having 70 MB), Aperture does not copy the master or the version file, but instead it creates a reference movie file, which is a very small video container file (in my case: MP4, 26 KB) with no AV-content but only a reference to your master video file in your Aperture library, ~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary/Masters/YYYY/MM/DD/YYYYMMDD-hhmmss/filename.
    So by principle it acts like an "alias", but technically it is not a filesystem alias (filepath, ID within filesystem (inode), metadata), but a so called reference movie. If you meanwhile deleted/manipulated the master file from the Aperture Library, or changed something from the filepath (volume name, home directory name, etc) import in Final Cut Pro will fail of course, as it loads a mere reference movie, and fails to load the AV-content, as the master movie file cannot be found at the given filepath anymore.
    Solution 1 (for the "tidy" users):
    Make sure the filepath to your Aperture Library does not change (volume name, user name, custom library name), and hopefully Apple does not change their Aperture Library filepath scheme in future updates. Then the reference movie will remain pointing to a valid master file.
    Solution 2:
    In Aperture, select the file(s)
    File > Export Master (CMD-SHIFT-S)
    Save file(s) to your desired destination
    Import them into within Final Cut Pro
    Of course this creates unnecessary duplicate content, which is specially painful with video files, which tend to be large.
    Solution 3 (advanced users):
    Locate the master file (within the Aperture Library.aplibrary bundle) and import that in Final Cut Pro.
    The import dialogue of many Mac OS X apps does not allow browsing into bundles.
    A possible work around is to open the bundle in Finder (right click > Show package contents), locate the file, and then drag'n'drop it onto the import dialogue of Final Cut Pro.

  • Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Why?

    Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Any way to solve this problem?

    I don't have your model but here are some things to try.
    1) Make sure you are powering the camcorder with AC power not batteries.
    2) Open iMovie before connecting the Camcorder
    3) Connect the USB Cable and turn on the camcorder
    4) Open the LCD screen of the camcorder. Does it give you a choice of Pictbridge vs. PC Mode. If so, choose PC Mode.
    5) iMovie import screen should come up.
    Also, make sure you have installed all software updates. (/Software Update). If the software update requires you to restart your Mac, then restart your Mac before proceeding. Install iMovie, iLife, Quicktime, and Leopard updates.
    If that still does not work, try taking out your SD card and putting in a USB card reader.
    If that still does not work, put the card back in the camcorder and make a disk image of the card using disk utility. After making the disk image, try formatting the card using your camcorder menu. Then retry shooting some footage and importing.
    By the way, using MPEG streamclip should not create files any larger than iMovie will create using an import function.

  • Problems changing the video type in iTunes 8

    Just downloaded the new iTunes 8 this morning.
    Having trouble changing a video from a "Movie" to a "TV Show".
    In the previous iTunes version you would just right click, Get Info, click the Video tab, and a drop-down menu would be available to change from Movie, to TV Show, to Music Video. This feature seems to have vanished now. Why?
    So now every time I import a .mp4 file into iTunes it automatically sets it as a Movie. Any tips on changing this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks so much - greatly appreciated.

  • IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

    I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Other info:
    OSX 10.8.3 on a 2012 iMac
    iMovie 11 9.0.8

    I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
    iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.

  • Can't import video from Canon ZR50

    Hi,
    I'm having (a LOT) of trouble importing video from my DV camcorder (a Canon ZR50) into iMovie. I used to do this all the time (using this camcorder) with no problems whatsoever, but I haven't imported any video for a couple of years.
    First, I got the error message that the camcorder was sending "half-frames" that iMovie couldn't accept and to change the recording speed to SP.
    I changed the recording speed to SP, but still got the same error message. So, I then uplugged everything, restarted the computer, took the battery and the emergency battery out of the camcorder, waited five minutes, replaced the batteries, reset the date/time/recording speed (to SP), plugged the firewire back in, and got the same error message.
    I then decided to go boot up my ancient blue dalmation iMac that I used to edit video on, and although iMovie said the camcorder was connected, when I hit either "play" or "import," even though the video would play on the camcorder, it wouldn't show up in iMovie.
    PLEASE help me get my video onto the computer!!!
    Thanks so much,
    Sierra

    Does the MBP see the camera at all?

  • Separate video from music

    Updated to IOS 8 podcast app.
    Problem 1: Still cannot separate synced podcast on the device vs podcasts in the cloud when using stations.
                Say that I make a great station.  The app includes podcasts not on device and needs to be download.
               The app stops playing and all I hear is silence while the podcasts gets downloaded slowly.  Bad user experience!
               There should be away to play exclude podcasts that have not been downloaded.
    Problem 2. Podcast app no longer understands the following smart playlist categories when syncing from itunes:
                   Kind
                   Composer
                    Group
                   Category
                   Comments
                   etc...
    i use those categories to separate out video and music podcasts.
    I want a playlist of only music and a playlist of only video.  I don't want interruptions and wait for podcasts to be downloaded when it is already on the device.
    In IOS 7 and previous, I have "Kind contains video" in the smart playlist to separate out video from music.
    Now the Podcasts app sends that playlist to the music app.  Because the smart playlist says also includes "Media kind is podcasts", the music app does not have anything in the playlist.
    I created a video only station.  But due to problem 1, it was a bad user experience.
    I have the following in the smart playlist:
    Match all
    Media kind is podcasts
    Kind contains video
    Plays = 0

    In iTunes, right click on a movie (or video), select "get info" then select "video" and choose the correct category from the "video kind" box. Then click "ok".
    When you've done this for all the videos/movies that are labelled wrongly, re-sync the iPod to reflect the changes.

  • IMovie 10.0.6 won't save my imported videos (from DV camcorder)

    I am using this version of iMovie for the first time (I finally gave in and let 9 go), so maybe I'm missing something.  I am trying to import some VHS tapes and I'm using a miniDV camcorder to convert to digital, something I've done a bunch in previous versions with no problems.  The camcorder is connected with firewire to my MacBook.  So in iMovie I click "Import".  Here I can see and hear the tape when it plays.  There is a message that says "Camera Not Controllable", which is expected.  I click the blue import button down in the corner and the message changes to "Recording" with a counter for the time.  All seems great.  When I'm done I click "Stop Import", then "Close" and I'm taken back to the main iMovie window with the events list.  But in the only event, where it should have been saving the video, there is nothing.  I've tried this a bunch of times and created a new iMovie library on an external drive but nothing works.  It never actually seems to save any video.
    Am I doing something wrong?  This is really frustrating!
    Thanks,
    Sean

    I have exact same problem.
    iMovie 10.0.6 won't save my imported videos (from DV Digital Video Camera JVC GR-D290E).
    I have iMac 27" (end 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2).
    I tried to reinstall the previous version of iMovie 9. But the OS can not do it.
    Note: At the other my MacBook4.1 (OS 10.5.8, iMovie 8.0.6) same operations are functioning normally.
    What to do?

  • Is there a way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that they can be later accessible to processing with imovie?

    Is there any way to import videos from old VHS tapes so that thry can later be processed by imovie?

    I recently got a new  iPhone, and after restoring all my stuff from my old iPhone via the iTunes restore thing, I had to put all my music on manually, instead of it being restored.
    iTunes content is not included with your iPhone's backup - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, audio and print books, tones, and apps. All iTunes content must be transferred back to your iPhone when restoring. If you sync music with Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, music is transferred back to your iPhone from your iTunes library when syncing - syncing is followed after the iPhone is restored. If you manually manage music and videos with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you must manually drag all music from your iTunes library back to your iPhone. Manually manage music means manually all the way.

  • Importing video from Canon DSLR into time line in Premiere elements 10

    When I import video from the media files in premiere elements 10 on to the Time line,I get a message saying that the video is not a suitable format and do I want to change it to a suitable format or leave it as it is.If I go to change it then the video does not display on the editing monitor. How do I get round this?

    You're right it should work .... but in practice not always.
    You have the latest and greatest mac laptop but your camcorder is frankly a bit dated. So my suggestion is to give it the signal that it wants.
    You might want to try this little puppy:

    along with a standard 6 pin to 4 pin FW 400 cable. It might be choking on the faster FW 800. This is just a guess though.

  • Importing video from samsung hmx10c camcorder

    Trying to import video from samsung's new hmx10c camcorder (oprah's 2007 list), and everything works great at first, (imovie sees camera, shows thumbnail clips). But then it gives me an error message when I try to import. Also, after connecting the camera to the macbook, if I look in the disk image on the desktop, the camera appears to have mp4 files on its internal memory, but they won't play in quicktime either.
    Anyone know a method to get the avchd samsung video files into imovie 08? I've got a bad feeling about this.
    Thanks in advance to all advice!

    Your problems may well be down to the way you connect your camera and in which order you establish a connection. If all else fails voltaic will get the files from your camera in AIC which will readily be imported into im08 for editing.

  • Importing Video From a Sony HVR-Z5E into Adobe Premiere CS5

    Hi,
    I am importing video from the Sony HVR-Z5E straight into Premiere using the capture option off the file menu but the colour looks completely different to what it looks like on the camera. Why should this be? When I preview the video in the capture window the video looks fine. its just after I have captured it.
    OS: Windows 7 x64
    RAM: 3 GB
    Please HELP??!!??
    Many Thanks

    Either your camera or your monitor is not properly calibrated. Lucky for you, capturing is just a transfer of digital data without any modification at all, just like copying files from A to B. They do not change in the copy process. So either it is in the eye of the beholder or you monitor is not properly calibrated or you are just imagining things.
    Wish you luck with editing HDV on such a system.

  • How do I import video from my new Canon FX300?

    How do I import video from my Canon FX300 into FCP?

    It's probably got no connection with your problem but just to rule it out, trash your preferences  .  .  .  it'll only take a minute so you've nothing to lose.
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
    There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
    The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones  .  .  .  instantly.

  • Importing video from a p2hd ag-hpx500p

    Hello all, I have recently taken a job with a production company, and I am the most computer savvy person on staff. In the past we have used FCP to import video from a DV player, or through a camera and the Log and Capture option. We have been contacted by an online firm wanting us to do some green screen footage for them. We shot a small 30 sec clip on the p2 and I was able to import it using Log and Capture, but my problem is I cannot get the bitrate to their desired level. They want at least 40 or 50 mbits/sec. Is there another way to import these files at a larger bitrate, or is it the settings of the camera? I was able to connect the camera and open the p2 cards as portable storage devices, but the file formats are not supported by FCP. ANY suggestions would be helpful as I believe I'm in over my head here.
    Thanks in advance
