Uploading HD clips from an HD Deck

I am having difficulty loading long clips onto my Macbook from my HD deck. Any help would be appreciated. How long a clip can be captured via the firewire connection, and is there a way to capture them directly onto an external hard drive?

Since I have an 8TB Pegasus EHD that is rapidly filling up to the point that its almost full, there shouldn't be any problem to go ahead and delete the Original Media Folder after I have an Optimized Folder for that same footage is that correct?
I can now use this "Optimized folder" to produce films in the Project LIbrary with music, transitions, titles, etc.?
If I wanted to be redundant ( Engineering (of a component) not strictly necessary to functioning but included in case of failure in another component) I could put all my "Original Media Folders" on a different EHD in case I had EHD failure. Do you agree?
I couldn't resist putting the definition in parentheses because I couldn't believe how perfectly it fit!!

Can not upload video clips from mini dvd

When I try to upload video clips from mini DVD recorded on Sony Handycam it stats the files are read only. I have tried finalized and un-finalized clips.

Thank you for the reply.
Although what I posted in my post numbered 2 is interesting and useful information in the Premiere Elements ripping of VOBs from DVD-VIDEO, it is not answering your issue regarding a "read only" issue and did not target your specific "read only" message. Sorry about that.
The VOBs are typically read only files on the disc.
I have never run into a "read only" issue with regard to the Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Add Media/"DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive"/Video Importer. For that matter, not with any version of Premiere Elements with this particular feature.
When are you getting this message.
a. When you click on DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive after Get Media
b. When you click on Get Media in the Video Importer or other
Do you ever get a thumbnail for the VTS_01_1.VOB in the Video Importer? Is your burner drive recognized in the Source field of the Video Importer?
If you open and explore the DVD disc, go to the VTS_01_1.VOB in the VIDEO-TS Folder, go to the VOB's properties, can you remove
the mark next to "read only" and then have the Video Importer route work for you?
Also, if you copy the VTS_01_1.VOB from the opened DVD disc and paste it to the computer desktop and remove the "read only" marking, can you then import
the VTS_01_1.VOB into Premiere Elements with its Get Media/Files and Folders?

How do I upload video clips from camera onto icloud

How do I upload videos taken from my camera which are on my laptop to iCloud?

Hi Lynda
miniDVD Cameras are not to use when one wants to edit the material
they are built for - direct playback
iMovie and FinalCut needs miniDV (tape) Cameras with a FW-out
Your Camera probably doesn't have FW out but USB and analog out.
You can: load Your movie file into the Mac via a DVD-reader that is not slot loaded
and from here use converting programs to get a file-type that iM or FCE/P
can read (With quality losses)
or
Connect an A/D-box from analog-out on Camera and FW to Mac.
Also with quality losses.
Recommendation Primary: Exchang Camera to a miniDV (tape) one
really the best way.

All clips from Canon 60D come out lagging

I just recently bought both a Canon 60D and Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook Pro. I have since tried repeatedly, in several ways, to upload my shot footage from that camera, and all of it lags and is choppy, at many points, having the frames dropped left and right.
I have tried:
1). Converting my .mov files to Apple ProRes
2). Changing the frame rate
3). Uploading the clips from their converted states off of a 1 TB hard drive into Final Cut
Among many others. The above methods didn't work.
I also tried editing the clips in Adobe Premiere... it lagged on there, too!
Two things though....
1). It DID play on iMovie just fine... along with Quicktime Player and a few other mediums that don't do what I want to do
2). Playback on the camera itself is smooth and clear just like I shot it.
HELP!! I've been trying to figure out my lagging issues for a week now. Help, PLEASE.

If they didn't play back smoothly with Pr or FCPX, I would wonder about hardware issues. Check to se that you have adequate free space on your system drive ~ 20% would be good. What are your system specs?
Also, here you're singling out the DSLR clips. How about HD footage from other sources?

My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

What kind of Mac to you have? This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire. If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
ETA: Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go. You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

How do I import imovie clips from my iphone 6 to my mac running yosemite?

My iphone 6 screen is completely smashed leaving me unable to use the touchscreen. I know that you can just send the imovie project to itunes but I can't use my screen to do it. Also, when I go into imovie from my computer and click import and then go to my phone it says there are no clips. Is there a way I can get those imovie clips to my computer through another means? Thanks

God Bless You,
Its very simple, you can download pixelpipe to upload it straight from the phone, or just connect your iphone to your computer (if you have a mac, then go to iphoto, and the video should be there). I'm not sure how you would do it on a pc.

A video clip import for a new project keeps showing up as a clip from an older project.

So here's the issue, I succesfully imported and trimmed 95% of the video clips from my GoPro today. However, when I upload the piece de resistance, it shows up as a clip from an older project that I've already deleted. Despite showing me the older clip in the imported section, I can still play approximately 1/3 of the actual, new clip. Problem is it stops and doesn't allow me to work with the remaining footage. I've tried importing it straight from the SD card, copying it to the desktop first, etc. No luck. Any advice?

So, it's Photoshop CS3.
Anyway, from what I understood, you open the photo directly form the disk in Photoshop. That is, you don't use Lightroom to open the photo in Photoshop. It just doesn't work this way. As I said above, Lightroom has no way of knowing when to import a photo that has been saved in Photoshop.
If you insist on using Jpegs for derivative files, your best way to go is indeed using Synchronize.
However, I'd advice to use a lossless format, like TIFF or PSD. Why leave image quality on the table (as Jeff Schewe likes to say)? Storage is cheap and you're editing only your best photos in Photoshop anyway.
And as an additional benefit, you can automate the process of importing derivatives:
Configure what file type to use in Prefs: TIFF or PSD, bit depth, color space etc.
Select an image in Lightroom and hit Ctrl+E.
The derivative file is created in the chosen format and opened in Photoshop.
Edit and save in Photoshop.
Voila! Your edited derivative is already in Lightroom.

Cut video clips from Apple Imac

Hoping somebody might be able to help me out..I'm not very techie when if comes to video editing etc on my Apple Imac. I have a number of large video files that are far too long in playing length to post to you tube so I am looking for the easiest way to cut 10 minute clips from each video file so I can upload them onto You Tube. I don't want to have to shell out money for software so what would be the simple way of doing this.

I have iMovie 09 and tried everything but I cannot see anyway to achieve this- Is it possible to do it with iMovie 09 or do I have to get iMovie 11?

How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
What do I need to do?
Thanks!
Ayca

Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately? If so then here's how:
1 - open iDVD and select your theme.
2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left.
Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos. Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

IMovie '11 won't import the new clips from iPhoto

I uploaded some footage from my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A to my iMac. All of the new clips were copied into iPhoto. (I never deleted anything from my camcorder so they're all there as well, for now.)
The problem: I opened up iMovie '11 and the new uploaded clips that went to iPhoto did not get imported into iMovie '11. I see the clips and have played one of them. They're there in iPhoto.
How can I get those newly uploaded clips to iMovie '11?
I just now noticed that when I click the camera icon in iMovie '11, the folder that I made and that has those new clips in iPhoto is indeed there...... but when I click to see what's inside the folder, there is nothing. Yet I know that the clips are inside that folder when I look in iPhoto.
Can someone lead me out of this?
This seems like a good time for me to go downstairs for a snack.

The problem is solved. At someone's request, I looked yet again at the folder titled "iPhoto Videos" in the Event Library (See screen shot.) When I noticed that the dates on that folder included today's date, this time I looked more carefully and scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page, where happily, I found the videos that I had uploaded from my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A earlier today. I thought that all of the videos would go underneath the iPhoto folder and end up looking like the 2011 folders (See screen shot again.)
If all of those folders and videos under/in the 2011 folder are there, I am wondering why such folders from today's upload did not get added there somehow in some form. Why are they all still in the iPhoto videos folder?
Could iMovie '11 be in error? Because as it is now, although I am happy that iMOvie '11 did indeed get my videos from iPhoto, it bothers me that it did not also format those folders below the way the other folders are. The inconsistency of actions bothers me. Now I cannot be sure that looking in one spot will show all of my videos.

Can Motion 5 make clips from scratch?

Hi! I currently use iMovie and am saving up to purchase FCP. However, I do have enough to purchase Motion 5. I was wondering if Motion 5 can create clips from scratch that I could use in iMovie?
Like can it create cool graphics such as opening titles or graphics with words, or is it strictly a software used to edit video once it's uploaded from FCP?
Does this make sense? Sorry for any ignorance on my part, btw...I'm pretty new to technology and I just switched to Apple from my PC so I'm still trying to get used to all the technology and terminology lol...
Thanks!

Absolutely!
For a program that costs as little as it does, it has an amazing set of tools in it. Trivially easy to learn to do some things like titles, but with the power to create absolutely amazing motion graphics with full 3D positioning and lighting.
You'll be able to boot it up and make titles within minutes.
It will take you considerably longer to master every tool within Motion 5 though. Not that they're exceedingly difficult, it's just that Motion 5 has a LOT of them.

Moving mpg clips from iPhoto to iMovie

I have iMovie '08 on my MacBookPro. Months ago I took 6 short video clips with my Sony DSLR H1 camera and uploaded them by mistake to iPhoto where they reside as mpg files that open easily as Quicktime movies when I click on the image. I have tried to move these clips to iMovie by dragging them from iphoto, or exporting them, then saving them as files in Finder and exporting or dragging them. They never stay in the iMovie event library. I sometimes get a box that says the clips are not compatible with iMovie. Is there some trick I can use to get these clips into iMovie? Can I convert the clip format to make them compatible? I have since learned my lesson and uploaded clips from the camera directly to iMovie and though they are marginal in quality they did make it into the event library. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Normally, there would be an "iPhoto" event in your event library and you can access the movie there.
If it is not there, or if you just want to move it to iMovie, I would recommend that you download MPEG Streamclip, which is free. Drag the mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the file as an Apple Intermediate Codec file in the original dimensions. After saving this file in a place you can find it, open iMovie and click FILE/IMPORT/FROM FILE.

Uploading iMovie clips to server?

Hi,
To make a very long story short, I am in the process of uploading files from one computer with a very corrupted hard drive to my powerbook. I am able to move documents and photos fine. However, when I try to bring my movies over, it doesn't upload them to the server.
I don't have an ftp application on my PowerMac G4 and do to hardware issues, I am unable to download an ftp program such as Fetch and decompress it (broken pipe error).
So, I am using a browser based ftp in Internet Explorer. I can get into my server fine, but when I try to move Quicktime movies, they just open in the browser and start playing. When I upload via my webshell at my server, the quicktime movie does go, but not all the clips and files that it needs to run. I have tried exporting the iMovie and this PowerMacG4 can't seem to do that anymore.
Any thoughts on how to upload iMovie clips, files, movies via ftp in a browser?
Thanks,
Maina'

//I know! Sorry, it get's crazy trying to explain this problem!//
Hi Karsten,
Thanks for your suggestion, however, I have already done this. This PowerMac G4 seems to be almost beyond hope, I am just trying to grab my photos and some files that I haven't backed up in a few months.
Things I have already done...
Internal CD/DVD drive not working, so can't burn any data that way
Hooked up external firewire drive to it and didn't recognize the drive.
Have taken my Powerbook and put the G4 into Target Mode and at first the Hard drive showed up on the Powerbook, but not long enough for me to scan through it and grab data. Tried that a few times and now it doesn't recognize it at all.
Have put the Laptop in Target Mode and tried to use the G4 as the primary drive, tht didn't work that way either, it didn't recognize the drive.
Used Disk Utility to verify and repair the drive. It couldn't repair the drive,
Tried mounting the drive in Disk Utility and that didn't work.
I also tried all the firewire ports on my G4, including a 9 pin to 6 pin setup. None of them allowed me to see the G4 on my laptop, while in target mode.
I have a USB to USB cable, and tried that also, no luck
I have used an ethernet cable and tried to network then, no luck. My G4 mounts my PB, but not the other way around.
Nothing seems to be recognizing my drive on the G4. I always get an error message.
So, I opted to upload and download, my last resort. Can't use iDisk since my PowerMac G4 is OS 10.2.8, you need 10.3 and later. I would buy the OS and upload, but the drive won't read it.
I have some web space and was using ftp and that was moving my documents and photos, now I just need to somehow move the movies.
Have I confused you move in this longer post?
I appreciate your help.

Transferring clips from avid to fcp via firewire

a bit off the wall question ... but is it possible to transfer clips from my avid media composer adrenaline (pc) to my fcp via firewire using the capture tool. the clips are dvcpro hd on the avid. it is easy to output the clips or sequences to tape (panasonic aj-hd1200 or 1400) via firewire so my plan is to "simply" substitute fcp for a deck and capture the clips free running into fcp. theoretically it seems to me that it should work. i set the device to non-controllable and capture settings to dvcpro hd 720p 60 to match the output from the avid. one problem is that when i connect the firewire cable from the pc to the mac, on the pc new hardware found message pops up and i have no way of telling windows what the device is. anyway have any experience or any ideas. thanks.

I doubt very much that your plan will work.
Why not just set up file sharing on the PC and pull the files onto the Mac using Finder?
That way you will retain the embedded data in the files.
Then you will probably need the QuickTime codecs from Avid too. (I don't have a link, maybe someone else will post it)
All in all, it might be better just to recapture directly into FCP from the original tapes.
