Trouble importing from P2 card from Panasonic HPX300 camera

I shot footage on a Panasonic HPX300 camera and when I choose Log and Transfer to get the footage from my P2 card, the warning message: "AVC-Intra codec not found" comes up. The tech support people told me over the phone that FCP isn't recognizing the camera that I shot on. However, there is already footage that has been shot, imported, and edited using the same camera and method as I am trying to do. Can anyone tell me if I am missing an important setting or step when trying to log and transfer the info?

You have to download and install Panasonic's AVC-Intra Software Decoder for Mac from here:
https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/desk/e/download.htm
Be sure to check out some of the other downloads available there too. You might have to confirm that Final Cut, when importing using Log and Transfer, is converting the AVC-Intra into Apple Pro-Res, as Final Cut is not AVC-Intra native-- at least, not in Final Cut Pro 6. Supposedly in Final Cut 7, it supposed to edit AVC-Intra natively.

Import from SD Card from Canon Vixia HFM301

Hi there,
So I got this new Canon Vixia HF M301 HD video camera that use SD cards. I've taken some video and want to see how it looks.
I thought that I would be able to import the video right from the SD card, but I can't see to figure it out. I have a brand new iMac and I can see the card and the files, but I could not see how to import them in FCE. Maybe that can't be done.
A little gentle help in the right direction, please.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks Tom, I saw another post on the subject about the same time you answered.

Trouble importing photos previously deleted from Elements Organizer

I am having trouble importing photos from iPhoto into Photoshop Elements Organizer. When I try to import, it says "Nothing was imported. The files or folders selected to import did not contain any supported file types or the files are already in this catalog." The photos I want to import, I had previously deleted from the Organizer, so I think they are "already in this catalog" but I don't know how to find them.

How are you attempting to do this? Step by step, what are you doing?

Trouble importing video into iMovie from External HD

I have video from my Panasonic Full HD camera. I have already transferred the video off the camera and onto an external hard drive. When I try to import the video into iMovie those files are grayed out. Does anyone have any idea how to make this work?
It is all my video of my son's first year since birth!

It is very important that when you transferred the video off the camera, you kept all files and folders from the camera. If you did, you can open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE and navigate to the folder that contains the contents that you removed from the camera.
In the future, open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA. This will bring up an import screen. There you can click a button that says Create Camera Archive. This will automatically get you all the files you need off the camera, and it gives you a good backup.
You can also import directly into iMovie from this screen.
If you did not preserve the contents of the camera - for example, you just copied the .mts files, but did not copy the rest of the files and folders, you will need a third party app to convert the .mts files so that iMovie can read them. Two apps that people use for this are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. They are pricey, but if you did not copy the full camera contents, this may be your best bet.

Trouble importing .mov files coming from FCP/Mac

Hello,
My friend works on Final Cut Pro on Mac. He gave me rushs from vidéos he imported (and the exported) on FCP.
An example of these files is here :
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9S9yK830UrNM2QyZTBhYWEtYjM2NC00NWNiLThiZTktOWQwZGNjNzY1O GMz&hl=fr
There are several file sizes 1280 / 720 and others.
Codecs are : Codec : MPEG-1/2 Video (xdva)
Codec : PCM S16 LE (sowt)
I can read the files with VLC on my computer.
When I import the files on Premier Pro CS5... it crashes the program.
I went through the forums... tried to download more codecs via Klite Codec Pack. I also installed Calibrated(Q) XP Options... but i'm not sure i used it right.
In the end, I am unable to do anything... and I am extremely frustrated, and MAD at Apple and it's never-compatible formats.
Anyone can help ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I downloaded your file and I can also confirm that it freezes both PremierePro CS5 and CS5.5. It just freezes when trying to create peak file.
I also have Calibrated(Q) XP Options.
Quicktime Pro tells that it is XDCAM-EX 720p50 1280x720
With Quicktime Pro you can export it to other format, I tried Avid DNxHD 720p/50 and Premiere opened it nicely.
But 300 files...

Trouble importing photos into LR5 from SONY alpha 7R

After importing .arw photos into LR5, I notice color bars across most of the photos. After deleting the photo, bars appear on the next photo. I examined the photos in my camera and no such bars were present. I tried using 8.3 DNG converter and that didn't work either.

The copies on your disk at this time that Lightroom is accessing are corrupted and are essentially useless. No way to uncorrupt them.
If the images are uncorrupted on the camera card, you could try transferring them to the computer using different hardware (i.e., if you used a card reader, don't use that card reader)
If the images that are on your camera card are corrupted, then you are basically out of luck.

IMovie 09 has trouble importing large video files from my JVC HD-40. I am trying to edit files such as these in 09. What should I do? Would buying iMovie 2011 help? I am shooting AVCHD files instead of the other mpeg2 file format.

Hi,
I am new into the Apple Community. I have a camcorder known as the JVC GZ-HD40 US and I currently am trying to use iMovie 2009 to edit my movies. With my camcorder, I have the choice to use two different video formats: AVCHD or Mpeg2. All my videos are shot in the AVCHD (HD) file format. This camcorder also has a 120 G Hard Drive built into it. When I plug in the camcorder through USB to my MacPro, the Hard Drive of the camcorder shows up as a icon on the desktop. Many of my video clips are at least thirty minutes in length, inside the camcorder. When I try to import in iMovie my video files, it only imports around ten minutes of the video and skips to the end of the clip. I would greatly prefer to use my MacPro desktop to edit movies instead of my Windows 7 computer which seems to work fine. Is there a solution to this problem? Would the new iMovie 2011 application solve this problem? I also have the Final Cut Express to work with, and also, can't get it to work. What should I try doing?

Hi all,
I have the exact same problem. I've just been to Thailand with my girlfriend, and we recorded a lot of stuff with my brand new Sony HD camcorder. And whenever the we ran out of camcorder memory we just emptied everything onto my HP laptop using the supplied Sony software, which produced m2ts files. When we got home, I realized that my Mac Pro/iMovie09 was not able to import this format. What a huge disappointment! Especially considering the fact that I just bought my mac back in March (my first mac ever) only for video editing and music composing (no problems with music composing, however!).
Well, I needed a solution, so last week I just bought the Voltaic HD converting software (35$), and it works great. No problems. Only thing is that my Mac Pro (quad intel core) had to work 24 hours a day for four straight days/nights in order to finish the converting job - resulting in 434 GB worth of mov-files. This is no problem as such, and the quality is great. BUT it seems rather stupid that this converting has to take place. If I use Sony Vegas on my PC, it works out of the box with my original m2ts-files. And I would really appreciate if Apple would implement a simple import function of m2ts-files in their software - one that would (if necessary) automatically convert the files to mov. Or even better: would work natively with the m2ts-files.
Best,

Trouble Redeeming iTunes Gift Card from Multi Pack

I purchased a 3 pack of $10 gift cards. 2 of 3 redeemed. 3rd said invalid. Contacted Support under the redemption section. They responded. Wanted copies of card front and back, reciept, etc. I provided all in a PDF over a week ago. I've been playing tag with an email representative. Last email was on Wednesday, 1/19/2011 saying it had all been forwarded to the redemption people and they would send me an email. 5 days later, no response. I've asked for an update. No response. Who do you contact when CS won't respond?

The website you provided is the website I used to contact CS. They haven't responded since I provided copies of the card, package and reciept. It has been 5 days since their last response and the card still doesn't work.

Just purchased Elements12, can't download Raw images from SD card from new Panasonic Lumix DMC-Gx7. CF card from Canon 5D works fine. I understand I have to upgrade camera raw, does anyone know how to do this and where to fine it. Please and thank you..

Can you please tell us which operating system you are running on and details of the camera producing the raw images (Make & Model).
Each different camera model has it's own unique format of the raw file and so the camera raw has to be updated occasionally. Gives us the details above and we can help you further.
I'm new with windows 8 and brand new computer

FWIW, my Help/Updates does not work. My ACR is 8.0 and each time that ACR has been updated during the last year I have tried to update it through Help/Updates and each time I have received in the Application Manager window that opens the text, "Your applications are all up to date." I suppose it is possible that the fact that I have an updated copy of LIghtroom (5.6) is confusing the Application Manager.
Because I do all my Raw processing in LR it does not really bother me that the PSE 12 ACR plugin does not update.

Syncing video from canon (mov) vs panasonic (avchd) cameras

I'm about to purchase either the Canon Powershot SX210IS or the Panasonic Lumix DMZ-TZ10 camera. I previously had a Canon Powershot SD750, which recorded video in .avi. I noticed that when my iphone would sync with iphoto, it would sync videos taken by my iphone back into my iphone photos application, but it would not sync the .avi video from my canon. It's been my assumption that the newer canons, which record video in MOV (H.264 + Linear PCM) would sync into the iphone photos app just as the iphone videos do. Is that assumption correct? The panasonic records video in AVCHD Lite / QuickTime Motion JPEG. Would either or both of those formats import into iphoto and subsequently back into my iphone?

I'm about to purchase either the Canon Powershot SX210IS or the Panasonic Lumix DMZ-TZ10 camera.
I looked at those but then settled on the Sony DSC-HX5V instead of the Panasonic. Have a look.
The panasonic records video in AVCHD Lite / QuickTime Motion JPEG. Would either or both of those formats import into iphoto and subsequently back into my iphone?
They'll import into iMovie for editing and can then be exported into an iPhone compatible format for syncing and viewing on the iPhone.

P2 Card in Panasonic HVX200 camera

Is there an intermediate codec that lets me log and transfer HD from a P2 card into
FC Express?
Or is the only software that can load that info FC Pro.
Can FC Pro log and transfer from the HVX200 via firewire from a P2 without any intermediate codecs?

OK. Good. The specs say "Records in a full range of HD formats including 1080/60i, 1080/30p, 1080/24p; 720/60p, 720/30p, 720/24p"
And... " Free downloadable AVCHD Transcoder for conversion to DVCPRO HD available at www.panasonic.com/avccam."
I'll get it from B&H. They have a good return policy if things don't work out.
Thanks for the help!

Trouble importing from cd

I've been having trouble importing music into iTunes from a CD. Many times it will START the importing process and then freeze up (it continues to look like it's working but will be stuck in one spot for 5 or 10 minutes or longer. I end up having to force quit and starting over sometimes 2 or 3 times before it copies all of the songs. I've had the problem with old CDs but now it's doing it with brand new, out of the package CDs. I've never had this problem before and don't know if it's iTunes or the Mac Mini I'm working on. Anyone have any ideas about trouble-shooting? It's very frustrating and my PC friends are making fun of me .
Thanks!

Hi--
My Mini came with 10.4.3, but my other Macs have
10.3.8. (I wasn't able to upgrade the other
computers with the OSX discs that came in my Mini.)
Right, that's because the discs that come with the Mini won't have the necessary components to work with the other Macs. So it's either not going to work, period, or if it does, you risk an incomplete installation.
I
have never had trouble with my iBook importing and
never had trouble with my iMac which used a Lacie
external CD burner.
If you still have the external CD burner, try connecting that to your Mini and see what happens. If it works, then it's more likely the drive on the Mini. If it's the same, then probably a problem with iTunes' preferences somewhere.
Also, you could create a new user on the Mini. Try importing CDs with this new user. Again, if the imports work, then the drive is fine. But if they stall, too, then it might be time to have the drive looked at.
This is what I found for yesterday (the
day I was last importing CD's) in my Console.log.
But I don't know what it means or if it's related to
iTunes application.
None of that stuff in the log has anything to do with iTunes. The mdimportserver is just an informational message from Spotlight telling you that it wasn't able to decode some data in a file, so it would treat it as if it were binary data instead of text.
The DirectoryService NetInfo listings can be gotten rid of, I believe, by turning off "NetInfo" in the Directory Access program in your Utilities folder. That's according to a post a short way down this page.
The other errors from Dashboard are just garden variety notifications. I was thinking that perhaps you were getting Disk I/O errors in your console log, or SAM multimedia sense errors. Those can be caused by either bad drives or bad CDs.

Importing into iPhoto 6 from Sony DSC-T1 crashes the application

Until I updated to iLife 06 I never had trouble importing photos into iPhoto from my Sony DSC-T1. Now, within seconds of clicking on the "import now" button the program crashes, and I've sent the obligitory bug report to Apple, but now the card is full and I don't know where to turn...
12 PB Mac OS X (10.4.6) iLife 06

Strange. Sorry to hear about your problems. Rather than importing via iPhoto directly from the camera, why don't you try getting the images off the card in the Finder? When you plug in the camera an icon for the memory card will appear on your desktop. Quit iPhoto if it automatically comes up. Create a folder on your desktop. Double click the memory card icon, and browse its contents until you find the image files. Drag them to the folder you created, and wait for the copy to complete. Then launch iPhoto and drag the folder of images into iPhoto.
Hopefully Apple support will be able to help you with that camera import into iPhoto. Is it on the iPhoto supported list?

How to import picture to iPad from USB connection
