Video clips missing after import Please advise

I am new to this whole video editing and just learning. Before taking it to an editor I tried to import a DVD I had transferred from a VHS tape. All the video os on the DVD that was made but when i convert took the DVD and imported it I am missing about 5 minutes of footage that I needed.
I read by using the disk utility and selecting the disk and then select new image it was able to transfer into readable files for Imovie. But in the import window there is a time stamp that says 9:58 seconds but I am still missing several minutes of video. What am I doing wrong.

Hello again,
I just converted one of the H.264 QT movies to 'Apple Intermediate' and now the both video and audio assets import just fine.
So, I must assume that the problem has something to do with H.264, but any light that can be shed on this would be appreciated.
Cheers,

All clips missing after import from camcorder!

All clips are missing after import from camcorder - Canon ZR20. For some tapes all clips are there, for others there are none. All the files are there in the finder, but I don't know how to have them show up in Final Cut Pro X.
Any suggestions?

Ok - this is frustrating. I have been importing my old miniDV tapes again into FCPX as I wasn't able to transfer all of these projects from iMovie - don't get me started... After importing about 7 of the tapes the first 3 came in fine, but the last 4 didn't have any clips as I said in my original posting. Now after restarting FCPX a couple of times all of a sudden the clips are all coming in! Strange! Guess I'm OK now.

"No Video Clips Match" after Import Movie

Hi,
I'm trying to import a group of videos into iMovie. They are in the range of 400--900 meg. Some of them import fine. Some of them go through all the process of importing, but then afterwards, I click on the event they should be in and it just shows: "No video clips match the current selection". On of the movies that does not import has the following properties:
          6gig
.m4v format
          JVT/AVC Coding, 640 x 512 (677 x 512)
          AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
          25 FPS
These are more or less the same as the ones that work.
I'm importing by going to File->Import->Movies with the settings:
Create new event
Optimize: either Full Size or Large
Move file and Copy file both tried
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Provide screenshots of your timeline with keyframes revealed, your render settings and your footage interpretation of the source file (s) in question. And please look up the big words in the AE help. Nothing personal and most of us "just want to get things done", but knowing a few basics and the right terminology in a complicated program like AE is inevitable. YouTube tutorials mostly leave out that part....

Top half of video is missing on imported WMV files. Running CS3 & Win XP Professional

Top half of video is missing on imported .WMV files. I'm running CS3 Adobe Premier Pro with Win XP Professional OS
Hi all,
I just installed my Adobe Premier Pro CS3 for the very first time. I then IMPORTED a WMV file into the Project Frame and then Dragged & Dropped it into the Time Line. All the windows (or Frames) Project Frame, Source Frame and the mini-Project Frame show this video with the top half missing. I’m running Win XP Professional with the latest Service Packs installed.
Please Help.
Thanks
Derek

After Searching the net for a while here, I found a solution to the "Half Screen" problem!
The half screen video problems seen while trying to play WMV files in my CS3 Adobe Premiere Pro program seems to have been due to a recent Windows software Security update made to it’s Windows Media Player programming. As soon as I removed that update, my WMV files now show normally within Adobe Premier Pro.
If you wish to uninstall this Windows Patch / Security Update on Win XP Machines:
No#1 Prior to removing/un-installing the file, shut off "Windows Automatic Updates" and set update preferences to manual. Thus in the future you can select which Updates you want to instal (and which one not to instal) *remember to ignore the KB2834904 update in the future! That is at least until Widows fixes this Security Update / Patch.
A) Go to "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel
B) In the Add/Remove Programs, check the "Show Updates" box located at the top of that window
C) Scroll down to "Windows XP Software Updates" and within that section, scroll down to "Security Update for Windows Media Player" KB2834904 (mine was dated 7-10-2013)
D) Click on the REMOVE button and re-start your system.
If using Win 7 Operating System: to remove this Patch / Security Update the file to remove is: KB2803821 - In Windows 7, go to "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel, click on the "View installed updates" link in the left sidebar, search for KB 2803821 and click REMOVE.
Good luck everyone!

Trying to relink video clips and getting "import reporting a generic error" using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a Mac

Did you find a solution? I'm having this same problem.

Video clip sound after burning

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 10, and I recently made a music video. I put a soundtrack to it. I turned the video clip sound all the way off and just let the soundtrack play over it, like a music video. I then burned it to a disk and played it on my DVD player. When it was playing, I noticed that the video clip sound and the soundtrack were both playingand over lapping each other. I burned several disks after turning every other sound off but the soundtrack, and still the video clip was playing over it. Please give me advice on how to fix it, as it would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
First, I would play the Timeline with the Audio Mixer Panel open, and watch for the Levels of the other Video Tracks. You can also use that to Mute other Audio Tracks.
One can also Alt-click on the Audio portion of the Clip, and just Delete that.
Now, did you place your music onto the Fixed Soundtrack Audio Track? Some users have experienced problems with the two Fixed Tracks, Soundtrack and Narration, and the normal "fix" is to just drag the music (or narration) to an empty, "regular" Audio Track.
Good luck,

Rotated video clip won't import into iPhoto

I rotated a vertical video clip shot with my digital camera using both Transform Movie and Bit PLayer. And, actually both worked great. The problem, however, is that iPhoto won't let me me import them back into my Library. Can anyone tell me why or help with this issue ?

Do you have Quicktime Pro. You can rotate the video file with that and it will work in iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Video + music missing after moving iphoto + itunes to external drive

There is probably a really obvious answer to this but I have tried searching without success. I have just moved my iphoto and itunes libraries to an external drive to free up space on my HD. Do I have to do the same with imovie in order for the music and iphoto video clips in my existing projects to work properly? Or can you redirect iMovie 09 to look for these files on the external drive (as you do with iphoto and itunes)?
At the moment in imovie the iphoto video icon still appears under my HD even though I have moved the library and the iphoto video clips and itunes tracks I've used in my projects are now labelled missing with yellow exclamation marks. How do I fix these broken links? I understand I can drag events over to the ext drive but my iphoto videos are not listed as an event.
Many thanks!

UPDATE! According to Apple support, there is no way to re-link those assets. They suggested two options, 1) recreate the folder structure with the missing music on HD1. I tried that but was unsuccessful. 2) Place the music again into the project. I have a lot of music with edits and did not want to use this time consuming approach, but surprisingly after replacing the first song, all the songs updated. Unusual workaround. HTH, Scott

I am having trouble getting sound on video clips I have imported into Premiere Elements 10.

I am having trouble getting sound when importing video clips into Premiere Elements 10. Is someone able to offer me a solution as I have no idea what I have done to cause this to happen.
The clip has sound when opened with windows media player.
Thank you

Hi Steve,
After reading everybody’s responses I am feeling a little out of my depth. Being new to this I am having difficulty in understanding a lot of the information given to me and also in the information you require from me. It appears that one thing I should never do is mix film from two different cameras. I would really like to fix this one particular clip though as it holds an interview that was taken when leaving Coober Pedy and something that I don’t want to lose.
I have today done some research on the camera that took the offending video clip. It was a Samsung S85 and according to the Samsung website it uses MJPEG video format.
Here are the specifications as per the Samsung website.

I downloaded and installed Media Info and Morgan Multimedia MJPEG Codec V3.99.108 today. Do I have to register it to get it to operate? I read the documentation file that came with it hoping to find a clue as what I should do but I could not comprehend the information it contained.
Thank you and other members who have responded to my plea for all the help you have given me.

Pics missing after import

I was importing pictures from my camera to iPhoto, the import finished....the pics were erased from my camera. Then iPhoto quit unexpectedly. When I go back into iPhoto my pictures that were just imported were no where to be found. Sad sad story.....can anyone think of a way to find them.....are they placed in any other location???
Thanks for the help

Katie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto Library package and see if there's a folder in there titled "Import" or "Importing". If there is look in side and see if there are any files in it. If so move to the desktop, launch iPhoto and import the contents of that photo. If those are your missing file you're done.
If not you may have to get a 3rd party file recovery application like MediaRECOVER to recover the deleted files from the camera's memory card. If your camera does not mount on the desktop you'll need to get a card reader. IMO using a card reader and not having iPhoto delete after import is the best way to go. I always let the camera reformat the memory card after uploading.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back.

Half my video track missing after automatic transcode in Encore CS3

I'm using the automatic transcode option on a MS DV-AVI file about 2.5 hours long. After transcoding, half the video is missing from the timeline and the project size is less than 2 GB. I can revert the asset back to AVI, and then the video reappears. I've tried re-transcoding several times now, and keep getting the same result.

This is aimed a Premiere Pro, but may help - First, work through the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

Can't preview the video clips I've imported - I only get sound

I've imported some .avi video clips from an external network drive into iMovie which I am using locally. When I try to play the clips in the preview window, all I see is a white screen. The sound is fine.
I set up the project as MPEG-4, in PAL format.
Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong in the preferences.
Thanks!
Edit: Copied files from external drive to local machine before import; problem still occurs.

Unfortunately, another DV-PAL clip I created still won't play; it has an odd black triangle thingy down the side that looks a bit like a flag. Are there any other codecs available to make this clip work? They work on the Power PC laptop but not the Mac Pro...

My video gets pixilated after importing in Premiere pro cc 2014. I've try to change settings but nothing happens.

My video gets pixilated (specifically the text on the video) after I import it in premiere. I don't think it's because of my editing because when i'm previewing a video after importing it the video is already downgraded and the text are so pixilated. I hope someone could help me.
Thank you in advance.
God bless

DI custom SQLs were missing after importing a good ATL file

The customer had a strange issue recently - lots of custom SQL statements were missing when they imported a good ATL file into a brand new repository. This hasn't happened before. And they are sure that the DI repository versions are the same between the one it was exported and imported. I did some troubleshooting for them and found out:
1) The custom SQLs are intact when I opened the ATL file in a text editor. And the ATL file can be imported without any issue into other repositories.
2) Most custom SQLs are missing but not all. Some are imported OK.
3) When I opened the SQL tranform for those with missing SQLs, the textbox area for the SQL statement was blank. This caused errors in validating the job.
4) Sometimes the issue was resolved when the developer re-initialized the repository and imported the ATL again. But sometimes this strategy doesn't work - the SQL statements are still missing after the repository has been re-initialized a couple of times.
The DI version is 11.5.3 on HPUX with repository version 11.5.1.5. The repository database is either Oracle 9i or 10g.
Thanks,
Larry

The issue was resolved. The error occurred because of the database version mismatching. When the job was exported from the dev repository, datastores were excluded. The datastores in dev point to Oracle 9i sources. However, when datastores were recreated in test, some of them point to Oracle 10g sources (same database structure, just version upgrade). Therefore, when the job was exported from the test, although the datastores were still excluded, the version number "10g" were embeded in the SQL transform. This caused the SQL text to be excluded when importing ATL into the dev repository.
The action taken is to 1) delete datastores with version 10g; 2) create one with version 9i; 3) then exported the job into a new ATL. The new ATL can be imported into the dev repository without any issue.
Thanks,
Larry
