Sony DSCRX-100 video files cannot be imported into Lightroom 5.3

I have lightroom 5.3 running on Windows 7 64-bit. I am unble to import AVCHD video files from my Sony DSCRX-100. I am not sure why, as lightroom 5 supports this video format.

I got LR to import AVCHD.
I have the RX100M2. I shoot stills most of the time, but when I shoot video, I use MP4 output. So I tried an AVCHD to see if I had problems importing. At first I got the same results. Import did not see it on the SD card. Then I went into the SD card in Windows Explorer to see how the folder structure was laid out. I found a folder PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV with a file 00000.MTS. I did a drag and drop of the .MTS file onto the LR Grid mode screen. Import came up and the file imported properly. Apparently LR did not see the folder, but when pointed directly to the folder it worked.
My work environment: Win 7 64bit, LR 5.3. I hope this helps.

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)
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family [Display adapter]
NVIDIA Quadro 1000M [Display adapter]
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem are greatly appreciated!

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

Nikon D70s files cannot be imported into LR4

L/R 4 doesn't recognize nef files from Nikon D70s,any help would be appreciated,thanks Mal
Message title was edited by: Brett N

How are you copying your images to your computer?
There are some reports that Nikon has a piece of software that will copy files but it corrupts them.
Try copying by dragging and dropping from the card to a folder on your disc and then import those files to LR.
Also, before anyone can really help they'll need more details. Like what OS you're using.
Good luck.

PSD files created using export data set fail to import into lightroom

If I create a set of files using variables in a data set, the PSD files won't import into LightRoom. LR says to resave with maximum compatibility, but I already have that set in Photoshop. If I open one of the files and resave it, it will import. Perhaps PS isn't honoring the maximize compatibility setting when exporting.

Hi,
I downloaded 10g database ver 10.2.0.1.0 from oracle site and installed it on my laptop. I took an export of schema which was on my 9i database ver 9.2.0.1.0 using 9i exp, created tablespace and user in the 10gdb and tried to import the same to 10gdb using 10g imp using the following.
imp system/pswd@10gdb fromuser=test touser=test file=expdat.dmp log=expdat.log
it displays
.importing SYSTEM'S objects into SYSTEM
.importing TEST'S objects into TEST
and it doesnt import any objects just hangs. The Log file does'nt have any entries.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance

Will Elements and Lightroom open RAW files fro the Sony DSCRX-100 camera?

I have the RX100 and confess to be an Adobe fan. You did not say which Lightroom or which elements you want to use. You need the latest versions.
Photoshop Elements 11 comes with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) version 7.0 in place when you install it. Under the help menu, there is a choice to check for updates. If you do, ACR 7.2 installs. The RX100 is included in 7.2. Previous versions of Photoshop Elements will not udate to 7.2. When you open a RAW photo, a screen pops up that lets you adjust, convert and save to something Photoshop Elements can handle.
You have to have Lightroom 4.2 to get RX100 usefulness. Lightroom uses, but hides, the ACR engine. Instead the slider controls are built in the user interface. When you buy it, it installs as 4.0. The help menu also has an update choice so that you can get to 4.2 from 4.0.
You didn't ask, but Premier Elements 11 is a good choice for video because it is he first version that "officially" supports the high quality 1080p60 or "PS" setting in the RX100.
On T day, I shot RAW photos of my granddaughters dancing to a Wii game in terrible light. Yesterday I "adjusted" the batch of RAW shots taken with the RX100 in Lightroom and saved them as .jpg files. Today, I wll make a video in Premier Elements from those .jpg images, put in some pan and zoom effects, add a sound track and put it on Vimeo.
My view is that an RX100 owner needs PSE 11, PrE 11 and Lightroom 4 to take advantage of the camera's capabilties. Setting it on "fine" .jpg and uploading snapshots to Flicker leaves an awful lot on the table!

LR 4.2RC and ACR 7.2 RC won't read SONY RX 100 ARW files

I was at a wedding yesterday and had two cameras with me - a Nikon D800 and my little SONY RX 100. I was using an Eye-Fi Pro card for the Sony. I'm uninterested in the Wi-Fi capabilities when I'm away from home, but like the camera to upload pictures when I'm close to my big processing machine. Long story short. This was the first time I've used the LR 4.2RC and ACR 7.2RC with the Sony RX 100. I plugged the card into both the regular Eye-Fi USB reader, and into my Hoodman USB 3.0 reader. Of course, LR doesn't like the Eye-Fi reader, but it loves the Hoodman. Finally, it recognized the Hoodman and the Eye-Fi card. I have previews set to minimal and I was attempting to import all the raw (ARW) files into Lightroom. When the initial previews come up as I start the import process, it shows about 1/3 of the previews and then tells me it can't read the rest, including MP4 files. When I actually begin the import, it simply times out and reports that it was unable to import ANY of the ARW files, nor the MP4 files. I have no trouble reading 63 files into Raw Photo Processor so I know there is nothing wrong with any of the files. I can only conclude that there is something wrong with LR 4.2 and/or ACR 7.2.
Anyone else reporting this problem? I'm puzzled because this is the ONLY time I have ever had trouble importing files from supported cameras.
Thanks for feedback.

Well. After some experimentation, I discovered what the problem seems to be. For reasons completely opaque to me, Lightroom expects not only that the Eye-Fi card will be read from its own reader, but it also expects that the Eye-Fi helper application be installed and running. Of course, this means that I end up with duplicate copies of every file - once to the Eye Fi directory, and again to the appropriate Lightroom Folder on a completely different set of drives. I guess the conclusion I can draw from this is that without the helper application, the Eye Fi card is dumb and the images only partly visibible. The Eye-Fi helper can import the .ARW files, but it doesn't display them because Apple hasn't updated its camera list to include the RX100. Until they do, I think I'll just use regular cards and consign the Eye-Fi card to the hall of unhelpful cards. Yikes, the darned thing is as expensive as the Lightroom upgrade.
Sigh.

Imported Error - The file cannot be imported. Unknown error occured (-50)

I have the 30G Ipod. It has been freezing several times. I have reset and master reset several times. I used the updater program and restored the software (several times).
I also reinstalled itunes & ipod software from the cd and updated to the latest version of itunes.
Now I go to itunes, I see my ipod listed and as before I choose to import the file from my music directory which containes all my mp3 files. After choosing file, import, the error msg comes up saying the file cannot be imported. An unknown error occured (-50).

OK I'll do a basic explaination on what were about to do. When you use the "Restore" option in the updater, it does a quick format, basicly tagging everything on the drive inside the ipod saying "You can write over me". This is the same as a "Quick FOrmat" in windows.
Now theres a complete format called a low level or "Deep" format you can do in windows. THis goes thru and writes the whole harddrive in zeros AND maps off bad sectors on the drive or fixes them. this is what you have when the ipod clicks and freezes.
The steps you do are not that long, BUT the actual format can take hours. Some report gettin done in a hour others it takes 5 hours, so make sure you got the time before going ahead. You can do the steps before bedtime and let it format while you sleep. Make sure the PC is not set to goto sleep or shut off, if on a laptop leave it opened and plugged to its AC adaptor.
WITHOUT the ipod connected to the PC, hit ctrlaltdel keys to open the task manager. Select the "Process" tab, look for "iPodservice.exe". Highlight it and hit "End Process".
Now connect the iPod, it should flash the "Do not disconnect" sign and you will see it in windows under "My Computer". Rightclick the ipod in "My Computer" and hit format. UNCHECK quick format and hit start. Now this is the long part, you can stop the process half way thru, but I usually recommend to people to let it completely format to make sure it gets any bad sectors. Again its a long process so just be calm.
Once its done, reboot the PC so the "iPod service" is started again. When windows is back up YOU MUST run the ipod updater and restore it so the ipod is formatted into the format it needs. Only after this should you let iTunes get ahold of it and start loading it up

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,
Hunt

NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects.

Hi, i have exported .mov from FCP and when i try to import it into DVD Studio Pro i get the message,
NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects, WHY, it is not an NTSC asset ?
HELP
Paul

Do not use H.264. Use Pro Res or send the timeline straight from Final Cut to Compressor an a PAL preset (or one that you make yourself.) I prefer sending out self-contained versions in case I need to re-rencode or want to make items for various formats.
Movie setting up Compressor *in case you need it) is [here|http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/compressor.mov] Make sure to use PAL and/or make sure you make your preset PAL

Import Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom 3

If I understand correctly I must upgrade to Lightroom 4.3 or get a converter in order to import my Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom?
Not sure if I understand it correct? Which is the best way?

I use LR 3.6 with the latest updates for camera raw for this version, I believe it's 6.7, and my D7000 and its NEF's were correct handled.
Did nothing else as install the program, update every time there was an update and in September when I bought the D7000 LR worked fine with his NEF's. Before I had a D40x which was als correctly handled.

File name not importing into iPhoto

I keep my photos on an external disk and import them from that disk into iPhoto. When I import, sometimes the file name is imported into the caption field and sometimes it does not.
Any ideas why? I have search for others posts but can't find any. I did check the permissions of the files representing both results and the permissions are the same.

What is displayed in the title field under the thumbnails?
Have you tried selecting the offending photos, going to the Photos->Batch Change menu and selecting Title to File Name option?

Re Importing into Lightroom 4.1

My photographic equipment consists of a Nikon D 7000 ( set to RAW) and a P 5000 (JPEG). My computer is an iMac with Lightroom 4.1 installed. Up until recently it has been possible to import from the SD cards directly into Lightroom via the reader in the side of the Mac. As of late the program will let me see the previews but when I attempt to import the images a message pops up that the files cannot be read! I can import them into 'iPhoto' but this is not where I want them! Can any one please suggest what has caused this new problem? I eagerly await any suggestions. With Thanks.

Dear tlsteinb.Thanks for your reply. I tried the ejection of the external drive as you suggested. To no avail! It is still a mystery to me. I do not know if i have to change a setting on the camera, the computer, or the program! I tried to send a 'chat' message to Adobe directly.How successful that will be we will wait and see! I shall keep you posted. Regards, Rae Dall

Just this morning I've begun experiencing the same thing. I can get the photos off the card and onto the iMac desktop for instance, but they won't import into Lightroom 4 from either the card reader or the desktop. So my assumption is that my card reader is working fine, but Lightroom is not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with Importing into Lightroom

I have Lightroom 5.3 64 bit installed on a Windows 7 SP1 machine. I have two pairs of mirrored HDDs for image file storage.
I: and J: are both mirrored pairs of HDDs (four discs). When I first imported the "Panorama images" image files on the (I:) drive into Lightroom, the file called "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" was corrupted on the drive; the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" files were not accessible from Lightroom or Photoshop or Windows. (The screen shot above is comparable to a before-and-after screen shot; the (J:) is like the before and the (I:) is like the after screen shot. The "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" file is there before importing into LR, but it is missing after "Panorama images" is imported into LR.)
Below is what Windows and Lightroom showed after the Import of "Panorama images" into LR.
I replaced the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" file, from backup media. I tried Importing the files a second time, and the same thing happened again. At that point I gave up on importing any part of the "Pano" image files into LR.
Next: I also have image capture files, camera card downloads, archived on the same mirrored arrays, in the "My Pictures" file. When I tried to Import the latest file of camera images into Lightroom from "My Pictures", LR again erased or corrupted the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" files, on both arrays, and again "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" disappeared, and again I had to replace it from backup media.
This is very irritating. Very very irritating. At this point it makes Lightroom more harmful that useless.

The reason for the different drive designation is the assignment when the drives have been remounted.. The first time this occurred, the machine had one two-drive-array, "Photo Storage RAID (F:)". When I imported into LR the "Panorama images" file, the "8 bit Panos Adobe RGB" file path was lost. The files could not be found in PS or LR. Windows Explorer could not find the files, and showed the odd "8BITAD-1". All of the other files in the "Panorama images" file were imported into the LR catalog.
I then replaced both discs in the RAID array with new HDDs, and rewrote the files on to them, and remounted the array (new letter assignment for the drive). I then, a few months later, tried to again Import the Panorama images file into LR. And the exact same thing happened.
I removed and rewrote both arrays, the new disc pair and the old disc pair, and remounted them, now they are drives (I:) and (J:). (One pair is mounted to the board disc controller, and the other pair is mounted on a PCI SATA controler card,
I then imported "My pictures" (not the "Panorama Images" file) from the (I:) drive into LR, and the "8 bit Adobe RGB panos" again disappeared from the (I:) drive, That is the top screen capture. I then tried to Import the "My Pictures" file from the (J:) drive, and the "8 bits Adobe RGB panos" file disappeared from the (J:) drive; the (J:) file path looked the same as the (I:) file paths in the top screen capture.
LR imported about one half of the "My Pictures" files from the drives; all files between 2016 and 2012 were not imported into the LR catalog (The "My pictures" content files are named by dates, year_month_day).
LR is installed on a 250 gig SSD, and the catalog is also located there. (I have used PS with mirrored arrays since Windows 2000 and BX-133 MBs and PS5,)
(when the 8 bit panos go missing, they are missing from windows too)
