Strange problem - cant drop an mov file onto timeline

Hello, I'm having a strange problem with a couple of mov files. these were all shot with the same camera, Canon 5d mkII, I have 2 mov files, one shot right after the other within 10 minutes of eachother, one of the files I can drop onto the timeline and the other it wont let me, also I've found a couple other mov files from another shoot that I can not drop onto the timeline, wehereas the majority of files from various shoots I can.
Any ideas or possible solutions to this problem?
Again, same camera, same computer, same everything, however a few that wont import while the majority will.

I found mediainfo here without all the drama: http://mediainfo.en.softonic.com/mac/download

  • Getting a general error message in FCE when putting .mov file onto timeline

    Putting a .mov film onto the timeline above a moving image so we see the mov file playing in a reduced size in the background of whats going on ( a window). Don't know why this is happening but any advice would be appreciated!
    We are really stuck so any help would be so appreciated!
    thanks.

    Its converted to an mpeg4 file but i think it may be the fact it is running at 30fps as oppose to the rest of the project which is 25fps. When I try to put it on the timeline it gives me the general error and then the footage which was on below it on timeline no longer exists. Very strange.

  • Problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files

    I am having problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files. When I open the file, it shows all white. I have exported some HD footage shot on my HVX 200. I am using FCP 5.0.4. I also have created some animated clips from Vue 6 Infinite and it does the same thing.
    I have Quicktime Pro 7.1.5
    does anyone have any suggestions on what to do, or what I need to download in order to have this work?
    Thanks

    Export from Final Cut using the Apple Intermediate codec to view in QuickTime.
    You've probably exported using an HDV codec only used by Final Cut.

  • High degradation of image quality dropping SnapzPro mov file into iMovie HD 6.03

    I'm using the older version of iMovie HD 6.03 because it is much easier to work with in syncing audio to images.
    I'm making a music video shot on my Nikon. The AVI files look alright, but when I drop a movie file captured with
    SnapzPro, the quality degrades terribly, really unusable. The Ambrosia folks tell me there is an automatic conversion
    from the mov file to DV taking place which doesn't happen in later versions of iMovie. I really prefer the interface on
    the older version and am seasoned with it. Is there a way to bring in the mov file without degrading it?

    Is your goal to create a DVD? PAL or NTSC? Then capture with Snapz Pro at the resolution Karsten told you (that's the first two he mentioned.)
    If your goal is larger definition than a DVD, then capture in one of the two last resolutions Karsten mentioned.
    If you only want computer screen viewing, then I recommend a 720p project in iMovie and a 1280x720 pixel capture.
    If you only want to burn a Bluray disc and watch on a HD-TV, then I recommend an 1080i project and a 1920x1080 capture.

  • Problems using CFFile to move files

    Hi there - I am having some problems using CFFile to move
    files from one directory to another. It only seems to only move
    some of the files in the group that I choose to move over, and
    there is nothing specific about which files are moved - different
    files are moved each time. There are no error messages that are
    showing up, so I am totally baffled. Has anyone else experienced
    this or does anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    Any help would be much appreciated!! My code is below.

    First, an incidental matter. I don't think there's any need
    for so many try-catch tags. I would expect all the tags <cffile
    action="move"> to throw the same class of exception, and so
    would use one try-catch for them all. Even if you expect different
    exceptions to be thrown, one cftry tag might still be sufficient,
    if implemented as follows
    <cftry>
    <!--- code block 1 --->
    <!--- code block 2 --->
    <!--- ... etc... --->
    <cfcatch type="exceptionType1"></cfcatch>
    <cfcatch type="exceptionType2"></cfcatch>
    <!--- ... etc... --->
    </cftry>
    I suspect the cause of the problems lies in the dynamic
    values that you give the attributes. Perhaps incorrect values are
    passed for the source and/or destination values in certain
    circumstances. As A3gis has said, if that were to happen you
    probably wouldn't notice, because of the try-catches. Find a way to
    ensure that all the generated values for source and destination are
    correct.

  • There are some strange problems when i used swc files in my as3 project

    Hello everyone,
            My development environment:  fdk4.0,  flash cs5.5,  I publish fla file by using flash cs5.5,   publish setting is  fp version :10.0&10.1 ->swc. I imported swc files to my as3 project and  complied them by using flex sdk4.0. When i run my project,fp was crash.   when i republished on fp 10.2, the project works. Is there any reason?
            another strange problem, for example   a MovieClip's aslink named "A" in swc, it has a textfield named "subText".  I write code like below:
                            var mc:A = new A();
                            mc.subText.text = "test";  
             when mc called "subText" , fp throws null property error, it can't find  subText..  very small number of movieclips have this problem,  I sloved this by duplicating a new one and rename it.
             but i don't  know why ? 
              thank you for your reply.

    I should have figured that out from your original post. I think there is a possibility that your bookmarks/history database (places.sqlite) has a corrupted record. Rather than take drastic action on that immediately, could you do a test? The test is to exit Firefox, rename your existing database, and restart Firefox. Firefox should import your last bookmarks backup. You then could check whether the problem remains or whether you got a clean restore of bookmarks. After the test, assuming you prefer to retain your history, you could undo the procedure and try restoring your bookmark backup into the database to see whether that overwrites the problem record. If not, then we would go back to possible drastic action.
    '''Test procedure''':
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places_20130614.sqlite. Keep this window open.
    Restart Firefox. By design, Firefox should import your last automatic bookmark backup.
    If you return to the Library dialog, how does it look?
    '''To reverse the test''' (but preserve a backup of your history/bookmark database):
    Exit Firefox
    Delete the newly created places.sqlite file
    Right-click copy and paste the places_20130614.sqlite and rename the copy to places.sqlite
    Restart Firefox and open the Library dialog. Should look like it did a few minutes ago before any changes.
    ''If the test showed no corruption,'' try to restore your last bookmarks backup. The procedure is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Does any of that get us closer to a solution?

  • Drag and drop simple ".mov" files, into 2 dif. browsers, no longer working

  • I can't get my movie files onto iMovie

    I have my movie on my hard drive, but i have a problem. When i put the disk in my camera, then connnect it to my iMac G5 via USB cable, it asks me if i want to play the video. When i pick yes, it plays perfectly. But then when i try to play it later, or move the files onto iMovie, it says "The file could not be imported: The file “File Name Here” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048" i don't know what is going on. could i have some help.

    Hi Max - just to support what the others have told you:
    the Apple chat people are wrong, and should know better! Unfortunately you have the wrong sort of camera if you want to be able to edit your footage and make movies in iMovie. If possible you should sell it and get a miniDV camcorder. Your camera records in MPEG2 format, which is designed more for viewing than for down-stream editing. The sales-pitch surrounding DVD camcorders is over-hyped and misleading.
    You may need both of these:

  • Problems with metadata in .mov files

    Hi
    I'm trying to set up an archiving system for video much like the one I use for photography. In doing this, I use metadata (File Info) reated and applied in Bridge to create searchable keywords for our archivist to use.
    The problem is, I can't get bridge to create the metadata files. I can access the metadata templates function through the tools, File Info, or by control-clicking the image. But the window that opens is not editable, though it is savable. Blank but savable. I also cannot access other, previously created, templates. They are viewable, but greyed.
    I don't think i had this issue a couple of weeks ago. Am i doing something wrong?
    filmgrrrl

    I'm not familiar with movies but tried a .mov file myself. It is not
    possible to add metadata or keywords because it gives the message that it is
    a read only file.
    And it does make sense you can't add data to a read only file
    I tried also a little project that I used for try with film function on my
    powershot G9 and that was saved in i-Movie as Mv4. This file is capable of
    adding metadata so you should search for a way to make the .mov readable
    (don't know if it is possible at all), or if you make theme yourself try a
    format earlier in the process. But as said, I know very little to none about
    movies...
    Could this be with the version of Bridge I'm using? It really doesn't seem to
    want to give me access to change the metadata on .mov files. it's fine on
    photo files of various formats.

  • MOV files onto final cut pro?

    Hey, I shot some footage on my Canon Rebel T2i and have put them all on my computer as MOV files. Now when I drag and drop them into final cut, they are choppy and every 5 seconds or so a pop up comes up telling me frames have been dropped.
    Is there a special way i should be importing the clips? Ive only ever used final cut for mini DV cameras before.
    let me know asap! thanks so much

    YOu can't edit the .MOV files directly from the camera. You have to convert them to ProRes first. There are several ways to do this.
    With FCP's LOG AND TRANSFER - Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial
    With Magic Bullet Grinder - www.redgiantsoftware.com
    With MPEG Streamclip - www.squared5.com
    With 5DtoRGB - http://rarevision.com/5dtorgb/
    But...you have to convert. The .MOV files directly from the camera are H.264, and aren't well suited for editing. NOTE The files will get MUCH larger. This is normal. Watch my tutorial first for the tapeless workflow in FCP. The backup process is essential.

  • How do I move files onto a G4 with OSX 10.3.9?

    Brethren,
    I just gave my G4 Quicksilver to my fiancee and she is having trouble moving her laptop files onto it. She has a bunch of MP3's (songs you'd puke if you had to listen to) and jpegs (billions of them) but no streamlined way of moving the data...since the G4 Quicksilver doesn't have Migration Assistant. So, to summarize:
    *origin computer: iBook G4 OSX 10.4.11*
    *destination computer: G4 Quicksilver OSX 10.3.9*
    I'm hesitant to shell out $116 for the Leopard upgrade but *is there any other way to move the data from laptop to desktop?*
    Shank

    Connect the computers with a FireWire cable, start up the iBook with the T key held down, and move the files over manually.

  • Firestore FSC problems with m2t and .mov files

    I am having a problem opening files from Firestore FSC. Both m2t and Qt .mov
    files will not open for me in FCE,iMovie or Qt with Quicktime MPEG2 reader
    installed. Anyone having this problem and is there a solution other than
    buying Final Cut Pro?
    Charles Dodd

    I am able to capture m2t and Quicktime.mov files from my FSC to FCE, but in
    real time which defeats one of the reasons I purchased my FSC. Also
    StreamClip will open the the m2t files, but not .mov files. I can't open the
    the m2t/.mov files in FCE from my desktop or from a folder. Sony Vegas Pro
    will open m2t files from a folder or desktop etc. I am very new at this, but
    this if what I have accomplished so far. Thanks

  • Cant open my mov files..

    Hi
    I got a little problem. i got some movies who dont want to open. I got error: Error-2048:the file is not a movie file.
    I use Quick Time 7.1.3 on Windows
    Somebody know i can fix this problem please
    Thanks in advance

    Here is the rub with this problem that I can figure.....
    After reading regarding the 7.7 unknown public movie atom in 7.7 while using Leopard with a G5....... they aren't going to address or fix this problem.  Power PC is no longer supported and they didn't test QT 7.7 with Leopard and the older G5.  It appears the QT files play the HD files in Snow Leopard that won't play with Leopard on the Power PC G5.  So problem fixed as far as Mac is concerned.  Snow Leopard plays these files with an intel machine.  The fix with the older Power PC Mac's is to install your old OX system and upgrade everything except QT.  I did this and fixed the problem on my G5, however compressor and DVD Pro problems arose, but I can bypass with toast.  I purchased two Power PC G5 Mac's 8 months before they switched to intel.  I have had a very hard time being a Mac fan since.  They now concentrate on their revenue producing tablets, iphones, ipods etc.  Mac used to be where the professional went to get a professional product and professional support.  Not the case anymore.  I can't ever find a tech or so called genius that can answer a real problem.  I find I know far more than they do and their answer is always to look on the discussion forums.  Mac used to have techs view these and answer to help ius poor saps out trying to get a video deadline etc.
    I never thought I would say this but Mac has turned into Microsoft.....
    It saddens me to no end, the professionals have no where to go now....
    I have read reviews about FCPX and it is a glorified imovie product.  Making it easier for the imovie, ipad user but cutting down many of the pro look and needs FCP was famous for.
    Sorry for the rant and getting off subject, but spending 5 solid days trying to get HDV files to play that played for three years was beyond frustrating.
    With Mac buy new stuff or risk not having it work together..........
    I just want to punch a Mac QT developer in the face over and over and over....

  • CS5.5 Extended - problem with importing audio .mov files

    I would like to import an audio file to my PS5.5 Extended. It supports .mov files, so I tried to File->Place a mov file exported from Audition CS5.5. But Photoshop says: "Could not place the document xxx.mov because the movie file could not be opened."
    The mov file doesn't open in Windows Media Player either and the message is that the codec is unknown. But it opens without problems in QuickTime, as audio.
    I am not sure if this is Audition or Photoshop problem, but the format, or codec which is used should be common to both programs, as they are from the same CS5.5 suite. By the way, I have all settings set to default in Audition. No idea what codec it is using.
    My purpose is to import sound, and because PS Ext does not support sound files as such, I found a workaround in the internet to import a mov file. But it does not work for me..
