Video file import problem

I just bought flip4mac for importing asf video files into Soundtrack Pro. I can import them into Quicktime and play them fine but when I try to import them into Soundtrack Pro, a WMV importing progress bar comes up but when it is finished, there is no video file loaded, just blank as if I had imported nothing. Does anyone know if Soundtrack Pro is supported by flip4mac? Could anyone tell me how I can get this to work, or alternatively what is the best way to import or convert asf files? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Thanks for that jimlongo. I don't have QuickTime Pro, only the player. However, the idea of Flip4mac is to be able to import these kind of formats directly into editing software. In fact, I did just succeed in importing a shorter asf video clip (45 secs). Perhaps it was the length of the other files? They were well over an hour in length, full movies really. It says in the STP manual that movies can be up to 4 hours in length but is there something I need to set up in order for it to accept longer videos? Apologies for the newbie questions but I am only getting started with the programme having been a Logic user for many years.

MPG video file importing as audio HELP!!!

MPG video file importing as audio HELP!!!
I am using Premiere pro CS5 trial version. The videos I have are in .mpg format and play fine in other programs. When I import them into Premiere they are importing as audio files.
I have a week to get this project done for uni and Im freaking out! It worked on the uni computer before christmas but isnt working here, its the same program and same operating system (windows 7).
What am I doing wrong!!!?

You are doing nothing wrong. The trial version does not support MPEG. The full-paid version has no such limitations, and also comes with a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a refund.
The limitations of the trial version are HERE.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Only half of my video files import

I have been trying to import some video files which are around 4 GB and a .avi file, yet only half of the video imports. The first half runs fine, yet as you can see in the image below, the last two boxes just show black and also has no audio. The files play fine in quicktime, so I'm curious what the problem is. Any ideas?

Did you check in the finder how the drive is formatted? Use get info as was asked earlier in the thread.
Once again, AVI is not supported in FCP. The material needs to be converted. It's displaying an odd icon that you don't normally see attached to a clip, which may be due to the type of media this is. Full information about the media specs would be useful to know. Bottom line though you need to convert this before TOU bring it into FCP.

File Importer Problem

I am working with footage from a DVD converted by a program called "Handbrake" into MP4.The message: "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of [file name]" appears in the events monitor (yellow triangle bottom right of workspace.) I have a yellow line that turns to red above the timeline. Jerky playback and poor video quality. What should I do from here? I tried re-interpreting and conforming the square pixel footage to DV/NTSC with no results. The aspect ratio is 698x466 but there is no way to adjust (that I could see).
May or may not be related but Premiere has been stalling regularly upon program start-up and closing. This with all my projects.
My system is 64-bit Vista 8 GB RAM, and includes a Matrox MX02 Mini

The file improter error message came when I imported the files.
I don't have the original DVD or its folder, just the MP4 files that were converted by Handbrake sometime last year. No BPAV folder, although I did not know I could import a DVD folder. Anyway, that's all I have - the dimensions are 698x466 and it plays the same in the Adobe Media Player as in the Matrox Player. I suppose i can get with Matrox as well since it's their box (MX02 Mini).

Video Files Import into an IMAC

Can someone lend me their advice ...
I am using a PC and creating a POWERPOINT show ... I have different tools to take this show to convert it into a video file (like MP4 etc).
What Ia m trying to do - is to merge a video file and pictures - the pictures to follow the movie - and throughout this "show" - one MP3 file will be played.
So the questions is - importing a video file into IPHOTO - is this possible - and if so - what is the best file type to convert the PowerPoint into???
Once I am able to create this show - then the plan is to put it into IMOVIE - and cut a DVD ...
Any suggestions - input - ideas - would be greatly appreciated!

Great Guys! Thanks for the advice!
I like using PowerPoint for it's ability to have total control on objects like text and graphics on 1 slide - in a show. Timed to music - it can produce some dramatic affects. I ALSO like the easy ability to take a MP# file -and if I have let's say - 33 pictures - it automatically splits the song equally - to each picture of the show, enabling an easy finish.
What I would LIKE to do - is to use PowerPoint transitioning affects on about the first 7 slides (pictures) - then - take that out as a video file - PULL IT into IPHOTO - then - add the remaining pictures to complete the show - ALL timed to one MP3 file.
Basically - I have other programs that can convert (export) the Powerpoint show (file) to any video output - I just need to know which one would work with IPHOTO. Adding these into IMOVIE - enables me then to cut a DVD, which then can be duped ...
Make sense???
I SO appreciate your expertise and suggestions as to the file types to use - or anything else you would recommend! THANK YOU!
Again - its the file types that I am seeking advice - that will work with IPHOTO!

Too much rendering of video files imported from iMovie

I am new to mac so maybe someone can help me out. I imported all my video to my hard drive from iMovie. When I use these files on FCE it always has to render, there is no sound. Just by putting a video clip on the timeline with no effects or anything, it always has to render and there is no sound. When i import video files from another hard drive imported from a different program and i drop it to the timeline, it doesnt have to render and i do hear the sound. How can i fix this?

Hello and welcome to the forum
Listen to Tom; he's one of the chief gurus and most frequent contributors to this forum! Here's how to export your iMovie footage so you can easily use it in FCE:
In iMovie, select Share>QuickTime and choose Expert Settings. On the next screen select Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie and click the Options button. In the resulting Movie Settings window, select DV/DVCPRO-NTSC for video compression and Linear PCM Stereo @48kHz for Sound Settings. Uncheck the Prepare for Internet Streaming box.
Realize that you'll be making an entirely new movie file, around 13GB per hour of standard def footage. Hope you have a big honker of a hard drive!
Good luck!

Lightroom 4 and 4.1beta video file import error/failure

Findin that Lightroom 4 and 4.1 are not importing video/movie files. Without exception every attempt made has resulted in an error.
In many cases just the first frame gets imported and converted to a low grade jpg image.
The same files import cleanly in to Aperture 3.x without difficulty.
Software glitch? Or my brain cramp?

i too have a mpg file hat will not import in 4.1 RC.
i think it should import fine?!

.mp4 Video File Import Question

I have imported my .mp4 home moves into itunes many times with no incident. I've used both the Roxio Popcorn app and also just add a .mp4 file to Library with no problem.
Now I have a home video that I've just completed and want to add to my movie library but when I use either the popcorn app or just save it and then add to library the video seems to vanish.
The little status bar at the top of itunes shows that its being imported, but when I go looking for it in Movies, TV shows etc then it is nowhere to be found.
I have a feeling its there but I just cant find it. Its somehow hidden.
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Download and use MPEG Streamclip. Note that AVI is a container, not a format; you will need to know what codecs they support to be certain of creating a compatible AVI.

File Import Problems

I just created a new project that was going to feature edited HD video clips taken from two different sources. The bulk of the footage consists of 1920 x 1080 clips (recorded at 29.97 fps) Logged and Transferred from my Canon Vixia HFS10. I wanted to add some additional clips that were shot on a Kodak Zi8 mini DV recorder at 1280 x 720 (frame rate unknown). The Zi8 belongs to a friend who used it along with the Canon on this particular shoot.
I've never attempted to mix clips from two different sources before, so I'm sure there are any number of nuances to this process I'm unfamiliar with. In short, though, when I attempt to import the Zi8 clips to the project individually I get the following message: *File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.* If I attempt to import the folder they reside in I get this message: *Unsupported Frame Rate. Final Cut Pro does not support this frame rate or the way it is represented.*
These Zi8 clips are Quick Time Movie (.mov) files, which, as I understand it, should be compatible with FCP. What am I missing here? Any thoughts or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Doug

Apparently I spoke to soon in that last post, Patrick. I just got done performing a ProRes 422 file conversion in Compressor, and _this time_ it worked! Don't know why the same conversion when performed as a QuickTime export was unsuccessful, but apparently there's a difference between the two methods that results in one being acceptable while the other isn't. Strange indeed.
Even though that problem is solved, I'm going to piggyback on the original question and ask what (if any) kind of challenge am I going to have to deal with relating to working with two different dimensions and frame rates? My thought is that the finished edited clip will end up as a 720 rather than 1080 HD movie if that makes any difference. Thank again for any suggestions and input.

Nikon D600 NEF file import problems

Hi,
Lr won't import NEF files from my nikon d600 even though i've upgraded my software to Lr 4.41 and camera raw 7.4, which according to what i have read on the web, should be enough.
Has anybody got any ideas / encountered this problem themselves before?
Thanks in advance!

It was my understanding as well, that the latest Lr4 would support those D600 files. I would consider trying with Lr5.2 trial as a test, or converting to DNG prior to import, as a test...
But maybe first: Copy (using OS, not Nikon Transfer) from card to hard disk, then try adding in place. - works?

KMZ and 3d Google file import problems (Photoshop CS3 Extended)

I'm new to the forum, so, I hope I didn't miss any answers about this in the FAQs, etc.--I did look.
I have PSCS3 Extended and have downloaded and installed the Google 3D Warehouse plugin. I can access the plugin which takes me to the Google 3D website and I can navigate to and download 3D models. However, when the model is actually brought into Photoshop, it looks very strange. The model is only visible in fixed shape area that appears to be the shape of the initial 3d model. But when I rotate and move the model, it simply slides the view of the image inside the fixed shape area. Very strange. I've tried this with about 8 different downloaded KMZ (Google Earth 4) models and they all do this same strange behavior. Additionally, I downloaded Google's free SketchUp program. The models load and appear fine in that program. I've exported from that program, but the files still have the same problem when loaded up into Photoshop.
I'm really baffled by this. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Problem solved!
Prior to my posting here, I had checked Dell's Customer Care driver download site for the latest video card driver and had downloaded the most recent one they had posted for my video card. I also had let Windows Vista "check for updated driver" for the video card and it reported that I had the most recent video driver.
WRONG!
Instead of relying on Dell's Customer Care driver download web site or Windows Vista's updated driver button, I decided in one last desperate attempt to go directly to nVidia's web site to check for the most recent driver (I know, I should have done this to begin with, but if Dell and Windows offer driver updating ease, I had the silly idea that it would actually work correctly!). The nVidia site had a driver that was one month newer. I downloaded it and installed it and now the KMZ file is appearing correctly in PSCS3, and, so are all the other 3d file formats (3DS, DAE, etc.)!
Hope this information helps anyone else out there who might be having this problem. And, the problem was NOT PhotoShop or Google or the plug-in, the problem was Dell and Microsoft's driver support not updating driver support in a timely manner.
