Video missing when importing Nikon V1 movies

When importing movies in FCPX from a new 1-series Nikon V1 camera only the audio is captured, not the video.  The same files (video and audio) play fine in Quicktime and are also captured without problems (although very slowly) in iMovie.

Hi I have bought the Nikon V1 and use it with the 10-100 Vr PD lens. I have just come back from a Skiing Holiday which gave me the opportunity to Test the camera.
I also use a Panasonic AG AF 100 Pro Video camera also
Due to size and weight I only took the V1 only
When I watched the replay on a HD television I was blown away by the quality of this little camera Definition in snow conditions were incredible, fast focus ease of use and LIGHTNESS!
I would compare the cameras as equal, although there are more things you can do with a Panasonic but at 5 times the price
So anybody considering this camera the V1, don't be put off, I am sure the market will soon make the appropriate converter which will solve the current problems

  • Thumbnails do not match video content when imported

    My thumbnails do not match video content when imported. They assume the look of the first video imported into an event, while showing correct source content when skimmed through. Also, audio for every video clip I import is changed to that of the first clip imported in an event. Very awful to realize only when you've just imported every video you've made. Any thoughts?
    Also, my source for clips is an external OneTouch drive, don't know if that plays into the import problem.

    Is your Event source list visible on the bottom left of your screen? You should see all your events there.
    There is a button at the extreme lower left of the imovie window which allows you to show or hide the event list. Make sure that it is in show position, so you can navigate to your other events.

  • My high resolution pictures got blurry and pixelet when imported into i-mov

    Hi
    I am trying to import bunch of high resolution pictures into I-Movie, when run the test, pictures all look very blurry and pixelet (lost pixel). I even disable the Ken Burn Effect inside the picture settings. Is there a way to keep the same quality of those picture when put into the movie timeline?
    Thanks

    SD video is just 1/3 megapixel. Importing a multi-megapixel image into iMovie turns it into a 1/3 megapixel image (or if you use Ken Burn: a 1/3 megapixel video).
    Fear not. When you burn a DVD it will look just fine.
    IMPORTANT: When sending to iDVD from iMovie, iMovie may tell you that some stills are not rendered. Do NOT let iMovie render them. iDVD will do a much better job rendering them.

  • Poor Video quality when importing from SONY DCR-SR100

    I am brand new to Mac and iMovie and FCE. One of the reasons I switched to Mac was frustration over poor video output from Windows based video editing programs. When importing video from the SR100 into iMovie and then iDVD, the DVD quality is noticeably poorer than when the camera is connected directly to the Plasma TV. I have been reading these forums and loaded MPEG Streamclip and purchased the Quicktime MPEG2 Download, but I still can't get the video output to look as good as the camera. I obviously have some learning to do, but is there any hope of achieving equal quality output from a DVD as straight from the camera? Is there a good source of information/textbook on this topic? The biggest improvement comes from using the "de-interlace" option in MPEG Streamclip, but the overall quality of the video appears washed out and somewhat blotchy compared to the direct camera footage.

    Welcome to the macworld! What imovie does incredibly well is make it easy to create fun and interesting movies. I have used both for several years and only recently with some packages such as adobe premiere elements has the windows world kept up with the mac with respect to ease of use! And even know the packages are still not as easy as imovie. Anyway, with respect to your post and getting the video quality to the best possible output quality using DV material, you are on the right path. The best workflow is to use streamclip and de-interlace prior to editing in imovie. I am not sure if you are doing that yet with your workflow. Yes, its an extra step, but it is well worth it to avoid imovie dropping a field upon export. You can play around with the adjustments to increase contrast, color and et al on the adjustment button. Another option is shooting progressive.
    To set expectations, it is second generation footage the minute its imported. However, you should be still getting very good results. FCE gets footage closer to the original footage since it is a true DV editor and uses both fields, but imovie is still preferred by me because of how easy it is to skim, tag and find the material you want then easily do transitions and ken burns for photo's. Fantastic. The way i look at it....watching footage straight from the camera is the worst quality you can get -- It's like listening to your spouse talk and talk and talk and never get to the point until you forget what that point was....editing gets the footage straight to the point....thats quality!

  • IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

    How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
    I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
    When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
    When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
    Thank you!

    stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
    to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
    but..
    if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
    if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
    if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
    so, what source, what delivery...?

  • Flashing/noisy line at top of video clip when importing

    Hi,
    I am running into a strange problem when importing from my video camera. The top scan-line (or two) of the imported video clip is flashing! If anyone knows the reason for this, or has a solution to get rid of this problem altogether, please let me know! (its the first time I've ever tried importing!)
    The workaround is to manually crop the top of the video, which I cant really do in imove for free? and would mean having to edit each clip...there goes onestep iDVD
    I have a sony tvr310 digital 8 camera and am importing using firewire on my imac.
    g5 imac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   sony tvr310 digital 8 camera

    Analog-to-DV conversion adds narrow black borders to the left & right (and some analog "head switching" noise to the bottom).
    If you view the output on a TV, then the overscan will automatically crop the borders out. But if you view the output on a computer monitor, you might want to crop them out. You can do this with MPEG Streamclip ($0):

    My TRV320 D8 doesn't have such lines so your problem sounds strange. Have you tried to clean the camcorders heads?

  • Video quality when importing with letterboxing checked

    If I import mini dv shot in 16:9 using the letterboxing during import, does it degrade video quality? What settings are best when importing 16:9 mini dv?
    Thanks!

    Set the project as DV Widescreen before importing. Do not tick 'Automatic Letterboxing'.

  • Exchange 2013 - Folders missing when importing PST to archive mailbox

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue when importing PST files to an Exchange 2013 archive mailbox using the command "New-MailboxImportRequest
    test -FilePath '\\server\e$\ArchiveExport\test.pst' -IsArchive -BadItemLimit 5 -ErrorAction Stop"
    The import is running without an error and shows the status complete. The size of the archive mailbox is exactly the same like the size
    of the PST file!
    But when I check the users archive mailbox some folders are missing. It seems that this happens only to default folders like "Inbox"
    or "Sent Items". Other folders are visible.
    The mailbox import log shows the following:
    16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.
    16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Copying 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    If I start the import process again the log says the following:
    16.01.15 16:46:54 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.16.01.15
    16:46:54 [server] Copying 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes). Skipping 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes).
    So it seems that the mails are really there but just not visible.
    I did some tests:
    When  I import the PST file directly to the users mailbox (without parameter -IsArchive) I can see all content of the PST file.
    When I add the parameter -TargetRootFolder "Testfolder" the whole PST content shows up correctly under that folder.
    Can anyone explain this?
    Regards

    Hi PhilippMair,
    Thank you for your question.
    If all subfolders were merged, we could use OWA to check if the missing folders is appeared. If we could see missing folders by OWA, I suggest we recreate outlook profile and reset outlook view.
    In order to troubleshooting, I suggest we collect the import log to analysis if the subfolder of Inbox or Sent Item is exported.
    In my test lab, inbox has three subfolders, there are 123,456,789; when I import PST file, I will see the following log:
    1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox'.
    1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 18 items, 302.3 KB (309,594 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/123' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/123'.
    1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 5 items, 62.21 KB (63,699 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/456' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/456'.
    1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 6.908 KB (7,074 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/789' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/789'.
     1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 21.31 KB (21,820 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    We could check if there are any subfolder which would not be merged and copied. If your import log has any abnormal, I suggest you send log file to
    [email protected] for our troubleshooting.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,

  • Video distortion when importing MOV file into Premiere Pro

    On my mac my premiere is having issues when I import .Mov files. I was shooting on my Canon 70D DSLR at 30frames and when I import files the playback breaks up and is distorted at various points. It doesn't seem like all the files are doing this only some of them have this problem when they are imported. The footage was all shot under the same settings in the same 3 hour period. I tried exporting files and the distortion is still present in the exported media file. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.

    Interesting that it's on the same frames ... have you certain effects that would impact those more than others?
    Also ... only 8Gb RAM, sounds like one internal that's pretty much stuffed, and footage on an external ... PrPro runs a ton of crap through both the CPU & the GPU (depending on what you're doing and how much it "likes" your GPU/Vram)  and also writes massive files to the database, media cache, and through the CPU use the OS's system cache typically. You've got a LOT of readin'/writin' going on, and with only 40Gb free there's not a lot of free space for things to be just parked for random access in a moment or two.
    Also curious ... what's the connection to the external? USB2 or 3? Thunderbolt? eSATA?

  • Half of audio missing when importing .avi

    Hi, I am having some trouble with importing avi-files in Premiere Pro 5.5. I searched forum, read and did the troubleshooting guide at the wiki plus searched through the Adobe Premiere Pro Help without any result.
    Today I've been editing for 8 hours and everything worked fine. I imported some clips and used some of them. But then I messed up the bin-structure so I cleared the whole bin and started importing them again. I also deleted the sequence so no clips where in use.
    But now when I try to import the exact same file that worked before, The audio gets out of sync exactly half of the movies length. Like the audio starts in the middle of the clip while the movie starts from the beginning. So half way through the file it gets quiet because the audio ends there.
    I rebooted my laptop and restarted Premiere Pro. Now I've also reinstalled it. The files play fine in Media Player, VLC and Quicktime.
    Thankful for any kind of hints that could solve the problem
    Edit: now there is no sound at all - sometimes.. it kindof differs
    Edit2: now it started working again - although sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.. sooo annoying
    But if any one else gets this problem: restart restart restart restart, ;<

    Thank's a lot for the help and the reading! I got a lot more wiser about codecs and the details behind the file extension.
    I shot the video (and audio ) with a Nikon D300 DSLR.
    Here is the specs of the camera if needed.
    http://www.dpreview.com/news/2009/7/30/nikond300s#specs
    I ran the errored file through G-spot and this is the result. This is currently the only file that isn't working. Before, another file didn't work, but then it started working and now this file isn't working. At this point I imported all the other files into Premiere and they seem to work at the moment.
    Also, there is a red line above the video clips in the timeline even before adding any effects. The project is 25 fps and my videos are 24 fps. I didn't realize until now, hehe. Here is my sequence information.
    Properties
    6_Middagen
    1280 x 720
    00;11;20;05, 25,00 fps
    48000 Hz - Stereo
    Settings
    However I also tried importing and adding the same video clip on a Sequence with the settings
    Editing mode: DSLR
    Timebase: 24.00 fps
    Display format: 24 fps Timecode
    The rest of the settings are the same as in the picture above. This time I didn't get any colored render line. But the audio problem was still there.
    This is my project. You can see the waveform disappearing right after my timeline marker.
    I Googled "Nikon D300s h.264" and got a lot of results saying it does use it. I know my video files didn't work in CS4 before but the Nikon support said they would work fine in future updates of Adobe Premiere Pro. I am using Adobe Premiere CS5.5 though.
    The weird thing is that one file randomly stopped working. Then it started working again and now another file isn't working.

  • IMovie09 Hangs when importing 3 minute .MOV recorded from iPhone 3GS,

    Hi All,
    Ok, so I have had a quick search to solve this but had no luck, and I am a Mac newbie, so please be gentle
    Here is my problem - I recorded one of my kids singing a song with my iPhone, sync'd this up with iTunes, converted it to iPod compatible within iTunes (for the iPod video to be able to chew it).
    Now, we have an xmas idea for the grandparents, that we can get both kids singing songs, video them and give the grandparents a dvd for xmas
    Hurdle 1: When I try to import the .MOV or the converted for iPod Video friendly version into iMovies, I get the beachball/hourglass.. The video that I'm trying to import is 3.4 mins in length - I tried several times, and this morning left it running when I left for work, so it has had 13 hours of processing and no joy, so I have had to force app to exit again... (Hey, I though macs just 'worked', what's this ctrl-alt-del stuff :P )
    This is the first time I have loaded iMovie and I have tried logging in with a new account too in case something has got mashed with my main account.
    The mac is 3 months old and I am still finding out what apps it has
    Thanks for any help / pointers My backup plan (already working) is to continue on my windows PC, as that seems to quite happily play with the .MOV file etc, but I would rather use the mac as it should be better geared for this stuff But tbh I am struggling already to get the mac to do it's thing - I thought iphone -> mac would just 'work'
    Oh..I have installed nothing else on the mac apart from snow leopard & configured email accounts and the iMac came with iLife 09 installed.
    ty in advance

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I didn't have iPhoto launching when i connected my iPhone, but I've launched it manually now.
    This time, in iMovie, I have 48 images appearing in 'iPhoto videos' under the event section of iMovie.
    Is this the correct behaviour ? Or should I only see one image to represent the video (Asking because if I have 3-4 movies on the iphone, I will have a lot of thumbnail images in the event window I think.
    Just for the sake of it, I tried importing the video again ( to see if things worked after using iPhoto), and iMovie still beachballs, but if I can use the iPhoto method that is fine, although it seems odd behaviour to be presented with 48 'images' of the same movie.
    Would I need to run everything through iPhoto before it appears in iMovie ? I'm guessing that the import movie selection doesnt work..
    Thanks for replying, and feel free to point out any newbie basics that I am misunderstanding

  • 2 sec. of video missing on import from camcorder

    Hello, I'm hoping someone has an idea what I can do to fix this problem. I went to the apple store for help and they have never seen this happen. I have a JVC HD camcorder (GZ HD7U). I am importing dance recital footage into imovie. When I import it into imovie it is divided into two clips. There are a couple of seconds missing between the two clips but when I watch the dance on my camera the footage is continuous-the missing two seconds are there. Any idea how to get the continuous footage into imovie?? Or if anyone has a suggestion of a work around I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

    It might be worth your while to view the iMovie tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html because they can answer a lot of questions you may be having with your new computer.
    If your iSight camera was on while you were trying to import video from your camera into iMovie, something was set wrong.
