Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

Hi,
I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

Elements 12 Organizer unable to preview .mts video files

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1. I have the newest version of Apple QuickTime (7.7.6) installed.
I import .mts video files from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 for organizing along my still photos. I am absolutely certain that previewing the video files in Elements Organizer used to work fine at least before I upgraded from Elements 11 to 12. Maybe it also has been working in Elements 12, but I cannot tell for sure. Now, instead of a preview, I get the error 'The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed'. If I add one of these files to an Premiere Elements video project, however, the file plays nicely from the Premiere timeline.
I have tried downgrading my Quick Time versions all the way down to 7.3, with no result.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

Cant drag or import any video files

I have a video new iPod and cannot drag or import any video files or pictures. I am able to use all the MP-3/audio files like a regular player. Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike
And Welcome to Apple Discussions
The video files that you are referring to are they bought from iTMS?
The new Video iPod supports:
"H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps"
So make sure that the video that your dragging over are in those formats.
Any video you might have you will need to add to iTunes and select "Convert Selection to iPod" or;
If you want DVD to iPod: use Videora iPod Converter, DVD Decrypter (Google for them they are free) and see my earlier thread for more info.
Check also this Videora Guide and iLounge Guide
Hope this helps.

[solved] Nautilus on Gnome doesn't show preview img of any video file

Nautilus on Gnome 2.24 doesn't show preview image of any video file. Images are normal. Somebody have this issue too?

Nautilus uses Totem and Gstreamer codecs to show video thumbs. Maybe a reinstall would solve the problem. Actually, I have no idea other then this.

Please help CS 4.2 will not import ANY video file

I've been working for days to get this fixed. Everything installs fine software wise and I am using a
Matrox RTX2 for capture/playback but Prem CS4.2 will not import any video file type.
My system is up to spec.
I've seen this problem discussed but none of the (many) suggested solutions have helped.
I've uninstalled and re-installed the OS and clean install multiple times and still I get "file format not supported" with EVERY file type.
Please help!
Brian

Brian,
Welcome to the forum.
When issues occur with Matrox cards, updating its drivers often fix things.
If you create a non-Matrox Project, can you then Import AV files?
Good luck,

Cannot import any video files.

I installed CS3 Master Collection, I tried importing a video file into Encore and Premiere Pro and it worked fine. That was 2 days ago, now when I try to import the same video file into either program the 'Import as asset' window pops up as normal but just sits there and does nothing. Then the program comes up with (not responding) and I have to shut it down. I have not changed or installed anything new on my machine.
Machine Spec:
Vista Ultimate 64 (fully updated).
Intel core2 duo E6750 2.66GHz.
4 gig OCZ DDR2 PC8400.
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R.
Nvidia BFG 8800GTS.
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.
I have since uninstalled CS3 and reinstalled it and I am still experiencing the same problem. I can import any other type of file (images, audio etc) I am only having this problem with video files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
-Dio

Keep in mind that Vista is good enough to boot your computer, loads a bealtyful GUI, wallpaper loads and mounts the desktop icons. After that the computer works fine. The clock is ticking on the side bar, pictures changes on the middle of this bar, some another gadgets loads and so on . After short period of time, the screen saver starts. Wow vista works great! This is all that vista is capable of. Our problems with vista begins when we click in something. Believe me, i have 26 years of experience with computers. Downgrade to XP64. Your CS3 will work without problems. I have a computer with quad core, 16Gbytes of 667RAM, quadro board, and even in this monster Vista do not works with a long sort of problems. After the downgrade, my problems dissapear. CS3 works very well.

I use .mp4 files
Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
the error says "was not able to import video files"
thanks

Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

Unable to import package. This file is not a Business Components XML file

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 9.0.3(Build 1325) and trying to extend a VO. Project > Import Business Components and select the VO, AM or EO xml because Sourcing Negotiation creation does not have a server.xml and I am getting the following message "Unable to import package. This file is not a Business Components XML file.". Should I make something else to enable extension?? Does a patch required to make extensions. Any help would be appreciated.

What I know is that server.xml is not a must. This is the easiest way to import appropriate xml files. My question is, when I am trying to Project>Import Business Components > xxxVO.xml I am getting the above error although the xxxVO.xml is a Business Component. I wanna know that should some patch be applied to Jdeveloper (Build 1325)?? (by the way at first I tried with Build 1312 and the same error raised)

Quicktime doesn't open any video files (app loads, no video)

I've done my best to search for a solution, but I have come up with nothing.
Whenever I try to load any video files (.mov, .mp4, .avi, etc) Quicktime Player 10.1 opens, but no video file is displayed. Same results if I use the "open" command from within Quicktime. All of the videos play fine in VLC.
The only exception to this rule is when viewing a trailer on trailers.apple.com. If I "download" an HD trailer, Quicktime opens and begins to stream the trailer, however the ram runs away (8+gb instantly) and the computer starts chugging very badly.
In the old days I would have just reinstalled quicktime, however with how deeply it is integrated into Lion I am unsure of how to proceed (short of a clean install). Thanks in advance!

A previous poster with a Toshiba posted how he installed a generic driver. If I recall it was
Uninstall the graphics driver.
Remove the display driver from Device Manager.
Reboot declining prompts to install a driver.
Run the generic installer program.
I'll see if I can find the original post, I had it in my clipboard manager but that has the unfortunate habit of killing off its database every few months

RE: Importing a class CEX file using TOOL

What exactly are you trying to do when you say "import"? I can think of
two possibilities:
1. You simply want to import the text of the file, in which case
you can use Forte's File class.
2. You actually want to load the class definition and instantiate
an object based on that class. If so, you will need to deploy the class
in a library and use Forte's dynamic class loading and instanceAlloc().
This is well documented in the Forte manuals.

Hello,
I don't know about any forte classes to do the job.
But, if it just automating the imports that you are concerned with
then you can accomplish it using fscript.
For eg. in UNIX machines you can write a shell script to go through
a directory, get all files with .cex extension and call fscript which
would open a workspace/repository and do an import plan.
Hope this helps

Hi Chris,
The goal that I want to achieve is this: at runtime, read a CEX file from
my filesystem and "import class" it into my workspace. It is equivalent to
invoking the menu item "Component,Import Class/Interface".
Basically I am generating hundreds of TOOL classes and I don't want to
manually import them myself. I am aware of the Forte Code generator, but
the classes I wish to generate are much too complex for the generator (I
want virtual attributes based upon NonKeyAttributes, with their own Set and
Get methods, as well as methods with changing/variable parameters -
something I believe that the generator cannot handle).
Cheers,
Geoff Whittington

How can I Import *.Mov video files into LightRoom 5.3 ?

I am having trouble trying to Import *.Mov video files into LightRoom 5.3. It imports preview thumbnails but when I select 'Import ' it now stops and displays an error message.

Why do you ask about Lightroom issues on a Photoshop Forum?

ITunes closes when I try to play any video file.

I purchased a movie in the iTunes store. Now when I am in iTunes all the audio files work fine (music, podcasts, etc) but any video file takes me to a black screen and a popup that says "iTunes has stopped working". I tried opening the files in Quicktime media player but received an "unknown error". I was able to to download the movie from the cloud and play it with no problems.
Originally this happened whenever I opened iTunes but after reinstalling it the issue was limited to videos.
I have reset proxy settings in case it was an issue with the iTunes store
I have tried various playback resolutions
I am using windows 8 on an Acer Aspire V3
16 GB RAM and 1 TB HDD
I have update iTunes and Quicktime.

Hello, jonahrnhrt.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that iTunes quits unexpectedly. Here is the troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this specific issue.
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues

The following is what Apples iPod Classic Specs page lists. You can convert videos to compatible formats by using a free app called HandBrake.
