Trying to import from jvc gz-mg30u

This is a hard disk camcorder. I tried to connect it but the computer will just say that it can not read the .MOD files. How can I import these to my computer to edit them and make my movies?
Thank you in advance

What you want to do is try converting these files outside of iMovie altogether then save them into the native editing format iMovie uses called Apple Intermediate Codec. The program to use for this is MPEG Streamclip.
When you download and install it, launch the program and drag your .MOD file into the Application window. Then go to File Menu > Export to QuickTime...
Click on the pop-up menu beside the word Compression: And choose Apple Intermediat Codec. Then click the highlight button in the lower left corner labeled "Make Movie". Save the file to the desktop, then import THAT converted clip into iMovie. It will work wonderfully and iMovie will not need to convert it as it's already in the format is uses internally to edit the video.

What is the format of the pics? Do all of the file names have 8 characters like DSCN0001.jpg?

Error while trying to import from partners catalog

I keep getting the error: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error" when trying to import from a catalog?

I have around 400,000 photos of 15 years so given the high number, I organized all my photos into 6 catalogs to avoid potential problems. All the photos and the catalogs are in a 4TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.
I wanted to have a NEW Catalog of all my rated 1 Star+ photos of all the years in a single Catalog. So I created what I called Star+ Catalog and I was told the best option is to import a Catalog at a time and given that there is no means to filter importing only Stared photos, I would import all the photos and then delete all the UnStared photos. I did that for Catalog Year 2014 but at the end gave me the message: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error". It actually had imported around 40k photos from about 50k total. I tried again and again and every time I end up with the same thing. I created another new Catalog and stared from scratch and the same ting happened: the ONLY EXACT 40k or so photos were imported and the rest were not!! When I imported Catalog Year 2013 of around 45k photos, it worked perfectly. But when I imported Catalog Year 2012 of 35k photos, the same thing happened!!
I then tried exporting the needed photos to a new Catalog and that worked. But then when I try to import them again from my Master *+ Catalog I get the same error again!!
I also tried creating a new Master *+ Catalog and tried to import the Catalogs of each year into it and the same error happened again!!!
Any advice: 1) on how to solve this? and 2) if there is a better and easier way to create this Master Catalog of All Stared Photos of All my Catalogs?

OK, my starting point is that LR can happily contain 400000+ photos, and it's a mistake to create a 1 star plus catalogue as you suggest. Instead, I'd recommend you create a master catalogue of all your photos, which you can then query however you want - 2 star, or a certain keyword, or with "xyz" in the title etc.
If you are intent on going that way, you could try a slight change from what you've done so far. Instead of trying to import an entire catalogue and then delete no-star pictures, take the 2014 and 2012 catalogues and select only the 1 star photos. Then do an Export as Catalog for these items, and import the 2014-1star and 2012-1star into your new catalogue. That may get you past the problem images which I suspect are the problem.
If that doesn't work, or if you follow my initial advice, you're going to need to identify the image where the failure occurs. You may have a corrupt image file, and replacing it from your backup may be sufficient to resolve the problem. Alternatively, it may be a corrupt record in the catalogue, and in this case it may be sufficient to remove the image from the catalogue and import it again. You might try selecting everything in the 2014 catalogue and seeing if you can do an Export as Catalog, creating a clean 2014, and deleting 2014's previews folder might also get rid of a potential problem. Something else is to try the Export as Catalog for images 1-40000, then a second Export as Catalog for images 40002-50k.
So a few things you'll need to try, rather than a magic bullet, and a recommendation to change the underlying direction.

Error when trying to import from Aperture Library

I'm trying to import my Aperture Library into Lightroom using the "Import from Aperture Library" plug-in. Every time I get a "?:0: attempt to index a nil value" error as soon as I click the Import button. I've tried removing Lightroom (and its ancillary files) and re-installing, I've tried different destination disks for the import, I've repaired the Aperture Library, nothing helps - the same error appears every time. I'm using a Retina iMac with OS X Yosemite and LR 5.7.1. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack
I think it may still be work in progress and you may need to wait a little. Problems have also been reported importing from iPhoto. See this thread:

Import Wizard Error trying to Import from CE 9 to BOJ XI 3.0

I just installed BOJ XI 3.0 on a new server. I am trying to import the reports, users and data sources from our CE9 server to the new server. When I put in the APS name, log on name and password I get a error message saying..
Unable to connect to cluster @@ to retrieve CMS member list. Locally chached member list not present. Logon cannot continue
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I have over 900 reports and I dont wnat to have to manually upload every one..
Thanks in advance.

Thomas,
I am afraid that you will have to upgrade to XI or XIR2 first. Below is something from 3.0 guide:
If you are upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 9 or 10, you must first upgrade to either BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, or XI Release 2 SP2 or higher.
Hope this helps.

Trying to import from iPhoto '09 - nothing happens at all

Hey everyone,
sorry for opening a new thread, but since I could not find an answer depite an hour's search, I think I have to.
I am trying to import my iPhoto Library (8.1.2, 55 GB) into Aperture, disk space not being a problem. I can choose the menu command (>Import>iPhoto Library), pick my library (I have tried both original and backup) and then hit "Import". But then: Noting happens. No error message, no import. Just as if I had not clicked the command.
I have repaired permissions on both the hard drive and the iPhoto library, re-downloaded and re-installed Aperture (after cleaning the system), but now I am out of ideas.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Peter

I have checked all available options except for the restore from backup option
Well try again, this time use that option...
If that fails:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Trying to import from scanner, but only get the wizard and I need the advanced screen....

Hi,
I just installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (I was using Elements 6 before).
I am trying to import a photo from my scanner, but am having some trouble. I need to import from the "advanced" screen I was using before, but now I am only getting the option to import through the wizard.
In Elements 10, when I click import I only have the option to "Frame From Video", or "WIA Support". When I pick the WIA Support, it takes me to the wizard.
In Elements 6, when I click import my scanner was actually listed and that is where I went to the advanced preview/scan screen somehow related to my scanner (it said Epson Scan at the top of the window).
How do I get my scanner to be listed in the import menu so that I can get to the Epson preview/scan window?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

Oh, I spoke too soon. I just found out that I had to move the twain file from the optional plug in folder to the regular plug in folder. Everything is working great now.

'Audio to Video' problem when trying to import from non-controllable device

Hello,
I am trying to import media from a VHS into FCP, using a 'Dazzle', (DAC from Data Video). In my Capture Settings, under Device Control, I selected 'Non-controllable device', and under the Capture/Input setting, I chose the default, 'DV STSC 48 khz', then did 'Capture Now'. It seemed to work fine, until about half-way through the project, I noticed that the sound did not match up to the people speaking/singing on the video. Should I change the Capture/Input setting to something else? Or, is there another setting I need to make, so that audio/video will match up? Also, should I maybe try a Batch Capture, instead of Capture Now? I just thought of that when writing this - any help would be most appreciated, thank you!
Kristina

Ooooo.... Hate to say... Dazzle just has bad memories for me. Hollywood Bridge... made by Dazzle...
Nothing but problems. Not sure if yours is the same.
Anyway to use your camera as a passthru for the VCR instead?
Still -- no guarantees sync will line up. For that you need to capture in 15 minute or less segments. Hard to do with VHS that will run for 2 hours... but it's your best bet. Join them up in post if you have to.

IMovie 09 - get blue screen when trying to import from camera

I have used previous versions of iMovie without incident. Today when I tried to import some footage from my Sony TRV950 via firewire, all I get is a blue screen with the counter rolling but no import.
I can see the footage playing on my camera.
My camera is listed as DV-VCR (DV) in the import window.
Any tips?

I had the same issue with the blue screen. To resolve it I quit imovie and unplugged firewire cable. Started imovie the plugged in firewire. Created a new event, went to import, clicked play, selected add to event( the one I just created)
and it started playing and imported fine.
Hope that helps

Import from JVC

The docs say I can use a JVC Everio with 09
I have a GZ-HD7
iMovie 09 recognises the camera but fails to import
How do I do it?
Henry

Unfortunately, as great a mid-level camcorder as the JVC GZ-HD7 is, iMovie doesn't support importing from the camera's native .TOD files. In order to import footage that I shot I use Final Cut Pro to log and capture the footage using the RCA 3 to 1 that came included with your camcorder plugged into an external bridge. I believe that the same process should work within iMovie but this requires purchasing an external bridge and it obviously takes away one of the best features of the camera, it's crystal clear HD. There is probably a way to get a HD bridge but I don't believe that iMovie would support this import.
If anyone else has a better way to do it, please let us know, thanks in advance.

Why did IMovie 9 start crashing when trying to import from camcorder

I have Imovie 8.0.6 and a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder. I have been importing from this camera for a long time, with no problems but now, IMovie crashes whenever I push the import button. I checked and when nothing is connected, the internal camera comes up when I push the import button. I connect the Panasonic first & see it on the desktop & then open Imovie. ANy idea why it keeps crashing?

Yes, 20 GB is very little - when you import you produce AIC files which are much larger than the original clips. Unless you can clear a lot more space (tens of GB) you need an external hard drive to put your iMovie media on.
This is the AVCHD file structure you should see from the Finder when you connect your camera like an external drive:
First copy the clips you want to use from the STREAM folder to another folder on your hard disk.
Next, you need to convert them from .mts to .mov format using the free program Media Converter. You can also do batch conversions by dropping multiple .mts files onto its window. You need to instal the Re-wrap AVCHD for Quicktime - uncompressed Audioplugin. It is fast since it is not transcoding but simply changing the video wrapper. The website is:
http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/
The resulting .mov clips will import into iMovie (this works for iMovie 9 - I'm assuming it will also work with iMovie 8.)
