Storing Video files to be used later with FCP

Hi,
I am new to this so please bear with me.
I am using FCP 10.0.2 I believe and MaxOS LION
Only had the MAcC one week
I take a video, open FCP, then import the video and all works fine. I can also plug the card into a Card Reader and I can import the files.
Now this is the problem I have:
I would like to store the files from the card onto my MAC, the to be used later with FCP. When I have copied all the files / dir structure to the MAC, I then open FCP, go to import files, go the the dir where the files are, but I cant import them. I can see the files, but they are grey'd out.
When I view the files through Finder, they are all their. If I now do an import from the Card reader it seems to work or if i stick the card back into the camera.
I want to build up a library of videos taken in its RAW state and archive it to either on my HD or onto DVD's for later use.
Any suggestions much appreciated
Eddie

when you did copy the whole file structure, you have to chose 'import from camera/open archive' …
I'm following the same workflow as you do:
• in Finder, without FCPX, on my extHDD I create a folder 'backup Zoo Day May' (or any other descriptive title)
• drag the whole file structure into it from SDcard to folder
• when finally finding the time for editing, in FCPX, import from camera, then open archive, then digging thru my drives to that folder
• FCPX notices this folder as a 'cam' and offers the usual import options, no need for that old (sorry, mish ) trick with dmgs

How to add a locally stored video file to a presentation

Hi all ,
I want to add a locally stored video file to a presentation .What is the url that i need to use..
Ur help is much appreciated
Thanks

The recommended procedure is to create the presentation on the DMM (upload the video to the DMM) then create a deployment package using the presentation created on the DMM. Once you deploy it to the DMP, the DMM will FTP the video along with presentation files to the DMP which will contain the links to play the video that will be stored locally on the DMP.
You may want to review the following thread to see how to trigger the local presentation to play and how to update it later:

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
I never tried this before and was surprised.
It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks,
Richard

Now this is strange.
I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
29.97
640 x 480 pixels
Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
Why?
Thanks
Richard

Questions on how to utilize still/ Video files from 3Gs using iLife 09?

Hi,
Just got back from a trip where I took a bunch of stills and videos using the my 3Gs. I just downloaded them onto my Mac using iPhoto.
1. How do get the video files from iPhoto into iMovie as it seems that iPhoto imported it all.
2. How do I get the images that were taken with Location services turned "ON" to display the location they were taken?
3. Will location mapping also work with iPhone video files?

Maybe someone in the iMovie discussion forum would know some of the specifics from iPhoto to iMovie. I thought I remember seeing a way to import straight from my iMove.
Here is the discussions link

Working with video files on compatible external drive with imovie09

I have run out of room on my MacBook Pro hard drive, so I have moved all of my video files onto a compatible external hard drive. How do I work with these file in imovie09, do I need to import the files back onto the computer or can I work with them from the external hard drive, if so how. Also, is it possible to after completing editing to save just the project on the computer rather than the hard drive or will that cause a "source video" issue.
Ultimately, I would like to have all of the source video saved on the external hard drive and the projects saved on the computer
I had no problems working and saving the files when just using the computer, the external hard drive has complicated things for me. Thanks.

How did you move all of your video files? The best way in iMovie '09 is to do it in the Event Library. Make sure you're viewing hard drives (click the disk icon at the upper-right corner of the list of events). Then drag the events you want from your internal hard disk to the external one. That way iMovie keeps track of where the source files are located.
You can do the same with project files in the Project Library, too.
If you've already moved the files in the Finder, to do it cleanly, I'd recommend moving them back to the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders in your Movies folder. Then launch iMovie and move them as explained above.
Or, make sure the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders are at the top level of your external hard drive. When you launch iMovie, it looks in those places for footage and projects, and will make them available.

Compressing Video files to be used in Studio Pro projects

I have a 2hr and 7min video I'm trying to burn to a DVD. It is too large for a single layer and I've been having trouble with burning dual layer discs. Has anyone had any success using Apple Compressor to compress video files that were just a little too large for a single layer disc? What format did you use. I've tried several already and have managed to shave off a few 100 MB but not quite enough. The project uncompressed takes up about 5.7GB in Studio Pro and obviously it needs to be down below 4.7GB. Thanks for any help.

Compressor has a few presets, to compress so that 90, 120, or 150 minutes of video will fit into a single layer disc. I think those are making the assumption that you use the Dolby 2.0 AC3 option as well as the MPEG-2 one. So, if you take your video through compressor and choose the 150 minute preset to make MPEG-2 and AC3, and take those two files into DVDSP, you should easily fit 2 hours and 7 minutes onto a single layer disc.
If you want to squeeze as much quality out of the space as you can, and you're troubled by ending up with a little bit of disc space because you chose the 150 minute preset, you can tweak the settings. To do that open the Presets window, expand the Apple folder and the best quality 120 minutes sub folder, and drag the MPEG-2 5.0Mbps 2-pass 4:3 entry down into the Custom folder. Go into the Custom folder in the Presets window and double-click on the copy of that preset you just made.
An inspector palette opens up. Click on the second of the icons and you'll see settings for the video compression. Click the Quality tab and in there you can tweak the figures. Changing the 5.0 average to 4.7 should be enough to make it just fit 127 minutes. Save those changes, and then when you add your video to the batch list, select your modified setting as the one to use when it compresses the video.

How to send multiple files in parallel using ftp with single connection

Hi.
i have written code for file upload manager using ftp..
it perfectly working with sequence file uploading in single connection..
And i tried to upload multiple files with parallel processing in a single connection.... but it is not working properly.. i also used thread concept
but single file only transfered and connection refused...
my code here...
//////////////////// main class //////////////////////////////////////////
ftp.connect();
ftp.login();
String [] archivos = new String[100];
                                  File dir = new File("C:\\Files Uploading\\");
                                   archivos = dir.list();
                                   for (int s=0; s<archivos.length;s++)
     //Start Data Transfer Here
     new DataTransfer(archivos[s]).start();
                                   Thread.sleep(1000);
/////////////////////// thread class ////////////////////////////////
class DataTransfer extends Thread
      String FileName="";
      String LocalPath="",RemotePath="";
       public DataTransfer(String fname)
     FileName = fname;
     LocalPath = "C:\\Files Uploading\\" + FileName;
     RemotePath = FileName;
     System.out.println(LocalPath);
        public void run()
                    System.out.println("DataTransfer Started");
     /File Transfer Here
     try
           FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(LocalPath);
                           Ftp_Client.storeFile(RemotePath,input);
     System.out.println("Successfully sent : " + RemotePath);
     catch (Exception exc)
          System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
          System.out.println("DataTransfer Ended");
     }otherwise tell me any other alternate way

And i tried to upload multiple files with
parallel processing in a single connection....
but it is not working properly.FTP isn't a multiplexing protocol. How could it work at all?

Video files are slow to respond with "get info"

When trying to change the file information with the Get Info, it takes 40/41 seconds for each file to open.
If I change one file from movie to tv show and select next, it will also take 41 seconds to load the next file.
I dont know if its the new itunes or my brand new computer.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks
Craig

Alas, with much perserverence, I found a solution. My new machine is a Dell E520 and had updates to download .Firstly a BIOS update and more importantly an Intel SATA Matrix Storage Manage Update. With both of these updates, my iTunes is now reading video files in a few seconds.
The difference is mind blowing and certainly as it should be. In fact, it is better than it ever was (but then it should be with a new computer).
Thanks to you that reported the SATA problem. It gave me another avenue to research and a final solution. Which just goes to show, (what someone said to me many years ago): "don't accept something that is just ok, make sure you love it and you will enjoy it so much more."
Good Luck

Video File Conversions for use in IMOVIE

I have a Sony DCR-DVD100 Camcorder and a Powerbook G4. Video files on the camera cannot be imported into IMOVIE for use and editing. The computer can play the files via a USB connection. The video files include VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.VOB
Can anybody offer advice or recommendations? Apparently there are downloads which will convert the files for use in IMOVIE but I need some guidance. Thanks.

Permission Error when copy files into cmsdk using NFS with non admin user

Hi All,
We are using CMSDK with NFS protocol and we have created different users with ACL to control different access for users.
When we copy files into cmsdk folders using one of the admin user this works fine, even a multiple copy works fine. But when we use any non admin user , some time copy commands works but some time it throw a permission deny error. and this is happening very intermittently.
when we use ftp protocol and ftp file it's all works fine for the both admin & non admin user. Is there any limitation in using CMSDK NFS protocol
Did any one encouter any similar issue. Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks in advance

Storing Video files in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
We are going to store video files in SharePoint 2010. In total, we may have about 6 GB of files in total in Asset Library. Is it too much? What is the best approach to keep video files in SharePoint? I planned to change upload size, because 50mb is not enough.
The largest file size will be 150 mb.
Thanks

+ to Cameron
Maximum file size limit is 2GB per, however that doesnot mean sharepoint will handle it without issues.
I have seen request time out, for files even lesser than 50MB, it is again a big process of changing these settings in IIS and web.config.
You can plan to have smaller files,but better to keep less than 50MB. Even worse if you have enabled versioning to asset library, which will keep increasing everytime the same file is uploaded.
Auditing asset library periodically would also help to plan the growth, to an extent keep the library within few GBs and then plan store space requirement.
Deciding library size will be big process, we have MS suggest 200 GB limit for Content databases, this limit also we need to consider while planning library size
This link should help to get the limits -
