Still having problems: "File Import Failure"

Hi All,
I am still having problems transferring clips to Time Line or Project window of CS4 or PPro1.5. I could copy all clips from the Sony Clip Browser(SXS Memory Card Reader) to HardDrive(not C:\drive). But when I drag clips from Hard Drive to Project Window, it says "File Import Failure" and file format (.MP4)not supported. The file shows like this:
J:\test1\20100306210847\BPAV\CLPR\Test01\Test01.MP4
I really would appreciate if anyone could help me from the basics..I was trying this for the last 2weeks..I have uninstalled AdobeCS4 and installed PPro1.5. Still no difference.
My machine is a Dell 2.8GHz, 2GB DDR2RAM, plenty of internal and external HDD spaces.
Hope some one out there might help me with step by step procedure to get it going...
I don't know what to do now..
Thx...Pushpa

Hi Harm

Ur help much appreciated.

  • "File Import Failure Unsupported format or damaged file" in CS6 but fine in CS5.5

    Hello All.
    Recording in Pal DV AVI from Sony Z5U with MRC1K compact flash recorder.
    Imported files to computer using the Sony utility, and also tried dragging and dropping.
    Some files import to Premiere Pro CS6.03, but others give "File Import Failure: Unsupported format or damaged file,".
    The files that do import show up as 4:3 and I have to modify /  interpret footage to get them to show as 16:9,
    However, these same files play back just fine in Windows Media Player.
    Intriguingly these files import just fine to Premiere Pro CS5.5, and also show up correctly as 16:9.
    I can't figure out why some files import into CS6 and others don't....
    Anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
    (Normally I record in HDV and I've never had problems importing from MRC1K into Premiere, but the client specifically requested DV files for their ease of editing...)
    Cheers
    Mark
    PS When I use the DV recoverer utility on these files they import just fine into CS6....

    Hi Jim,
    OK, here's the video that imports OK into CS6.03 but that Premiere CS6.03 sees as 4:3:
    And here's the one that won't import into CS6.03 but is happily opened by CS5.5 and correctly seen as 16:9:
    Can you spot the difference? Thanks for having a look at this.
    Cheers

  • Why do I get an error msg : file import failure?

    Why do I get this error message? File import failure? I am using video clip from Iphone 4S.

    Have you tried trashing your Final Cut Pro preferences? It is usually the first step when FCP begins to act in unexpected ways.
    Download Preference Manager (free) from Digital Rebellion
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    and use it to trash your preferences - they will be set to default the next time you open FCP.
    If that does not remedy the problem, do you have any still images in your timeline that are not RGB, or are greater than 4000 pixels in the widest dimension?
    Is your source material in an FCP7 edit friendly codec?

    tornado2003,
    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,
    Richard
    i guess you missed that:

  • HT4906 Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

    Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) if you don't already have a currnet backup of the library and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • File import failure in premiere pro on specific files

    I have installed the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2014. I am trying to import several video files that i have recorded on a Canon 5D Mark III. The problem is that while some of the files gets successfully imported, many files cant import because of a error message, file import failure. Unsupported file format etc. I have tried to open this in many media players, and all work fine there. I have even imported these files on the same Premiere Pro-version on a different machine, and there they work perfectly. But on this machine some files just wont open. Does anybody have a clue or tips on how I can fix this? I guess its a problem within the software.

    It just seems to pick certain files and reject them.
    Which ones does it eject? eg do they have a different file extension from the video files.
    Are they rgb?

  • HT6058 I have updated my I pad dut I'm still having problems my iPad seems to freeze and when I go to put in my pin it take a few seconds before the numbers go in and my games stop and start and stop and start for a bit before they run properly

    I have updated my I pad dut I'm still having problems my iPad seems to freeze and when I go to put in my pin it take a few seconds before the numbers go in and my games stop and start and stop and start for a bit before they run properly

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Quicktime file import failure in CS5 After Effects and PPro

    Running a Dell PC with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro, Intel Quad Core 2 with 4GB.  Ram.When I try to import quicktime files into AE or PPro, I get a file import failure or corrupted file message.  I am using quicktime version 7.6.6.  I have tried uninstalling and removing all preferences, then reloading older versions of quicktime (7.2) rebboting the machine, and still no luck.  Any tips would be appreciated.  I have not been able to get any help from Adobe.  I have a laptop setup the same way and it works great.  I even tried loading the exact same versions of qt. and tried to use the Importerquiktime.prm file from that machine.

    I appreciate the feedback.  I checked the processes upon AE start and found that the Adobe QT server32 starts then closes in the processes before AE actually loads up.  If it is supposed to remain open, it does not.  I can not find where to change its permissions.  I looked the site you sent a link to, but do not see that section.

  • Media offline / file import failure

    Hi,
    I have my project created in Premiere CS6. Now i updated to CC.
    In my project, i imported a really short AE file into my Pr timeline. The whole vidieo worked fine.
    Now I just noticed that media (AE file) was reported media offline in Premiere CC.
    OK, I tried to locate the media from the folder where i keep the file.
    Can locate the file but hitting "ok" button won't let me select the file.
    Ok, I treid to rename the AE file. Imported the file in Pr, but Pr says file import failure.
    Anyone come across this problem.
    Not sure if this's because of version CC. My AE file is there. Nothing has changed.
    Just don't know why I can't relocate and import the file.

    HI abhishah,
    Thanks for posting on adobe forums;

  • Mxf File import failure

    Dear All,
    I have a problem to import files in CS4 from a Sony PDW-U1(MPEG2 HD 50CBR_1920_1080_422P@HL" formatFps="50i") on my new HP Quad Core 4600.
    The error message: file import failure "Unsupported format or damaged file" but is not damaged.
    The PC don't have a capture card and I don't need it, I just want to import the mxf and edit it on the timeline then encode in flv.
    Someone have an idea?
    Many thanks
    Claudio

    MainConcept sells a fairly expensive PP plugin that supposedly will read the Sony XDCAM HD 422 50 mbps MXF files. I downloaded the demo, but I could never get it to work right, because according the MainConcept, it won't install correctly if you have both CS3 and CS4 components installed. Maybe your luck will be better:

  • File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type!

    I completed editing my movie about two weeks ago did all the colour correction audio etc last week, and aim to complete the sutitling tomorrow!
    But now the problem is that my some of my files are now offline and can't be relinked because I get an error message which says "File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type"
    These files are .MTS which I believe are AVCHD.
    So I don't know what has happenned here. Is it the recent update that has caused this or something else?

    This have happend to me twice now.
    If I remember correctly it have to do with Cloud membership in my case. Both times I have been away on work and when I get home I have a email stating that payment have failed. After I set it right I start up Premiere and I get this failure.
    First time the solution was uninstall Everything Adobe and run clean script. Reinstalling did the trick.
    That solution is not working in the long run.
    Here Adobe needs to do something soon!
