RE Importing movie files in Vista

Hi
I am new to this ipod lark, and have a problem I hope you all can help me with. I have just bought a new Ipod Video 30Gb, and I am trying to import a movie (that I own the copyright to) onto it. I have already converted it to MP4 format, and I am able to import it to my ipod in Windows XP (on my laptop) with out any problems, but when I tried to import it earlier on my desktop, which is running Vista, I got a message saying that it could not be synced as my ipod was incapable of playing the file!. That is clearly rubbish, as I was able to later import it under windows XP.
Anyone any ideas why this may be the case?
Many Thanks

Sending video from filmic pro to the camera roll does not add more compression.
I have no experienced filmic pro reencoding on export.
YOur best option is to shoot with filmic pro e.t.c, add to camera roll, connect to iPad via camera connection kit.
Import video to iPad photos app.
Open iMovie on iPad and videos are there, in all their higher Bitrate glory.
Exporting from iMovie will reencode the edited video to the standard iOS movie data rate though.
IMovie also has a "record iframe" option.
WHich allows you to record video within iMovie as iframe video.
This creates larger videos that are better quality.
Again, once edited and exported it outputs as standard non-iframe iOS video.
You can also export the iMovie iOS project to a mac, and do the final render /export from iMovie mac.
WIth would give better quality, or at least more export options.

  • How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

    Hello,
    I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
    I am using Windows 8 OS.
    Thanks!

    CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
    It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
    Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
    I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
    That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

  • Premiere pro will not import .mov files

    Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
    Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
    One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • How can I get iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) to import .mov files?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 2 TB SDD running Mavericks that I bought 2 weeks ago.
    So far I have imported about 5,000 photo files into iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) plus about 25 videos as .mov files.
    But on today's import session, it stopped taking any more MOV's, giving the following error message:
    "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." and it then it lists the .mov files.
    I tried rebuilding the LIbrary index, and have even tried creating a new Library and importing my smalles (12 Mb) .mov file to this new test library.
    But I keep getting the same error.
    I have the most recent version of all the software (i.e. no new updates are available.)
    What else can I do?

    I figured out a solution: The drive with the .mov files was a USB drive formatted as NTFS. iPhoto would import .JPG files from this OK, but would refuse to import .MOV files, giving the error noted above.
    I found that if I copied the files from the NTFS USB drive to an SD card or to the Macbook Pro's internal SDD, I could get iPhoto to import the .MOV files without any problem.
    Why does iPhoto 11 have a problem importing .MOV files from external USB drive formatted as NTFS, but no problem importing the exact same files from an SD-card formatted as FAT-16, or from a folder on the Macbook Pro's internal HD?

  • Unable to view .mov files on Vista 64 bit system:

    I use a MacBook Pro to download videos from a Canon HD camcorder.  These files are saved as *.mov files.  While I can view these files on my MacBook Pro, I cannot import/view them on my Windows based PC, using PRE 8.  I purchased this software because it was supposed to support editing .mov files.  When I try to import a .mov file I get and error "Codec missing or unavailable."  Shouldn't the codec for .mov files be included in PRE 8?  Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

    Thank you for your response.
    I have download the latest version of QT twice, even purchased QT pro, no luck.  I have even re-installed PRE 8.
    I have updated my video drivers and downloaded GSpot and MediaInfo to see what codec's I need.  According to everything I've read and done, PRE 8 should work.  Just as a side note; in QT pro for Windows, I can import .mov files but only the audio plays no video.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Trouble Importing MOV files in adobe premiere pro cs3

    Hi,
    I just bought a Canon 60D camera and I am using adobe premiere pro cs3 for the first time.
    I tried to import MOV file footages made by my Canon 60D, but it says that my files are not supported.
    I don't know what to do!
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hi All,
    Let me tell you how I solved the XDV9 codec trouble on my Windows 7 system. The solution is rather stunning because I am using completely free software. First download the Shark007 codec pack for your system here: http://shark007.net/forum/Thread-Setup-and-usage . Please be aware that the codec pack installer comes with a toolbar install option so make sure you de-select this option during the installation process. After installation check the MOV tab on the "Settings Application" program. Make sure "use LAV's splitter" is selected for MOV Playback.
    Now comes the crazy part... To convert the XDV9 MOV video clips just download Windows Essentials Movie Maker for Windows 7. At this moment more info about this program can be found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started . Again, make sure to set the right settings during installation otherwise you will be installing a lot of possible unwanted crap like Windows Live Mail, Windows Skydrive etc.
    Movie Maker has quite good settings for converting (High Definition or custom settings are supported). Select your clip, or select multiple clips to create an unedited full length clip of all your clips, and then select "create movie". I used the "use recomended settings for this project" settings as it matches the source file resolution and frame rates etc. It is quite some work to convert clips like this but its the only free solution I could find so far.
    Good luck!

  • Problem to import MOV files

    Hi,
    I have a problem to import mov files from my hard disk (coming from a Casio Exelim ZR100 @ 1920x1080, 30 pic/sec. 44kHz, codec: H.264/AVC ). I tried different project setups - doesn`t work . I get a common failure message. MTS file import works...
    System Win 8
    Premiere Elements last version, all updates done
    Error Message:
    nase30

    Media import
    A Google Translate of your error message says that you are experiencing a generic importer error; consequently, not an editing nor exporting issue.
    If you are using the Casio ZR 100, the video involved would be characterized as
    1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second (progressive)
    Video compression = AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264)
    Audio compression = IMA-ADPCM (stereo)
    File Extension = .mov
    On the Premiere Elements side you have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 (assumed 64 bit).
    I have downloaded one of these files from your camera brand/model from an online source.
    Windows 7 64 bit Premiere Elements 11. No importing or other problem with video or audio components of the file.
    Windows 8 64 bit Premiere Elements 11. No importing or other problem with video or audio components of the file.
    Based on my findings, I have no evidence to make a generalization that there is a problem with this Casio video and Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit.
    So that leads us to look for other factors. Top of the list is the version of QuickTime that you have installed on your computer. (As John T. Smith has already asked and is awaiting a reply on that. If you have the latest version of QuickTime installed, then I would uninstall it and then reinstall it.
    What type of problem are you report
    "it worked before but not now"
    or
    "it never worked before"
    What might be interesting to look at. If you rename just the file extension of your Casio AVCHD.mov from .mov to .mts, .m2t, or .m2ts can you then import the problem file?
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
    I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
    I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
    I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!

  • Problems importing .mov file

    I am all of a sudden having problems importing .mov files from my camera in iPhoto '08. Can't get them to import in Image Capture either...On the import preview screen, all that comes up are empty "boxes". If I highlight one of the boxes, it shows that it is .mov file, the size of the file, etc. but if i try to do the import, iPhoto just locks up.

    iPhoto does not like very large movie files for importing directly from the camera. If you get it on the desktop you should be able to import it. I've imported 200MB movies with no problem.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Importing mov files in premiere pro cs5

    I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on my machine and now, i have two issues.
    1. I do have the latest quicktime installed but when i try to import *.mov files with audio, only the audio is imported and works fine. the video isn't, but I dont get a dialogue error box.
         A). if the *.mov file has only video, i get a file import failure message saying " the file has no audio or video streams".
    2. the next prob is my dymanic linking does not work.
    Help please

    Im trying something and I hope you can help me. I have two computers, one dedicated to capturing a event and the other I have is dedicated to playback. They share the hard drive via a network. What I want to know is- is there a way for the dedicated playback machine to access a video file that is still being captured by the capturing machine and play back parts of it in a sequence??

    Zone Alarm, eh? I used to use that program, but it got in the way of almost everything that I did, that I canned it completely.
    Glad that removing ZA solved your issue.
    Personally, I find MOV Animation CODEC to be quite good, and use that for a lot of work. Jeff Bellune, here, like the Photo JPEG format, but I have not explored that.
    Good luck,

  • IMovie 09 won't import .mov files

    Running iMovie 09 (v8.0.6) under 10.6.5 on MBP 13.
    I'm trying to import a couple .mov files from an external hard drive. In the dialog box that results after choosing File:Import:Movies, I can navigate to where the files are, but their names are grayed out so I can't access them.
    Any ideas?
    BTW, problem does not occur with .mp4 file.

    Here is the same! The iMovie 08 wont import .mov files. Even if I made it in the iWork/Keynote with H.264 or MPEG4 codec. You can work with the .avi files , they are opening in iMovie well, and you can edit them also. But not the .mov files. Strange...

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.
