Video uploading from DV camera no longer breaks into scenes

When I first started using iMovie 4 my video uploaded as it was supposed to, breaking into distinct scenes on the clipboard. For about a year now iMove stopped uploading correctly and began uploading video only in large 9 minute blocks. This is obviously not very convenient when you want to quickly find a scene. I would like to understand why this might have happened and how I might restore the correct function.
My preferences have "Automatically create new clip at scene break" checked. What could be wrong?
Frustrated!

Have you actually checked the footage you are importing to see if there is data and time date stamped in the footage? This is to check to see if the date stamp is ok and a problem with iMovie or if there is no date stamp (or one long continuious one across all the footage) in which case iMovie is acting normal and you have an issue with your footage, video camera, etc.

  • Mac OS X, iPhoto 9.4.1.All the photos and videos uploaded from my camera have disappeared since returning to Canada, where'd they go??

    Hi, during my stay in Las Vegas I had uploaded hundreds of photos and hours of video to my Mac at night each day. I have plenty of storage left, and had no problem viewing them before I had left. Once I returned to Canada and attempted to look at them, they are nowhere to be found. I have a Mac Pro OS X, with iPhoto 9.4.1. I haven't had a problem with the camera before either. Please help!? It's not like my friend can turn 21 again. Thanks.

    USer errors mess up PC users too. In fact much more

  • I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

    I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

    More info please:
    Type of camera?
    Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
    Type of files the camera is set to record?

  • Deleting pictures uploaded from my camera

    I used my iPod camera connector and uploaded pictures to my iPod while on vacation and now I have them in iPhoto, my problem is deleting them from my iPod now. When my iPod is connected to iTunes the only option available is to add/delete photos that are from iPhoto not to delete photos that I uploaded from my camera. Does anyone know how to do this???

    Connect the iPod, in the summary screen click on the "photos" tab.
    Remove the check mark from "sync photos". You will then see a message asking you to confirm.
    Click "yes", then click "apply" (bottom right corner).
    However this will remove all the photos on the iPod.
    If you just want to delete selected ones, you can remove the photos from the folder with which they are synced.
    This is an option.
    Create a new folder and give it a recognizable name (e.g. iPod photos).
    Drag (or copy) your photos into this new folder.
    Connect your iPod and open iTunes and when the summary page appears, click on the "photos" tab.
    Under "Synchronize photos from" choose "Selected albums" and select the new folder you created and click on "OK".
    Then you can just add and remove photos to and from that new folder as you wish.

  • Iphoto 6 not importing all video's from digital camera

    when I import my images and video's from my digital camera, it only imports the very short video's but not the long ones and I have to copy them manually, is there a setting in preferences I can change?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately not. This is a recognised problem with v6, and as v6 hasn't been updated since 2006 I wouldn't hold out much hope for a fix.

  • Older music/TV shows & videos purchased from iTunes store no longer work on PC (iTunes only)

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with iTunes on my Win PC and would like some help.  It clearly appears to be a software or configuration issue.  Essentially all my older music videos and TV shows all purchase from the iTunes store (anything older than 2012) simply will not play with iTunes (but will play with all other Win apps).  Here are the details:
    1) Running new PC with Win 7 ultimate
    2) All media files in one location (iTunes folder) all new tunes and videos are stored there
    3) I am running iTunes v10
    4) Newly purchased music videos work - older ones (from 2011-2006) no longer play.  Same with newly purchased TV shows but not older ones.
    5) When file is selected in iTunes it simply does not play them (no crash, no sound, nothing) - itunes is still active and you can select other music, etc.
    6) Videos play in Win player and any other windows app applied to them (sourced directly from iTunes to Explorer)
    7) Problem did not exist in much earlier version of iTunes (or I would not have purchased them, duh)
    8) Problem existed in last few versions of iTunes
    9) Problem existing on last PC as well as this new one
    9) ALL videos STILL work fine on my ipad and ipods - nothing wrong with those files themselves
    10) I have searched online and tried:  control panel selections with Quicktime (3D video setting), uninstalling itunes several times, uninstalling quicktime, etc.
    11) All tests pass with iTunes diagnostic
    Please help if you can!  Thanks.
    best, AHC99

    By the way... ALL music files back to 2004 still play fine on iTunes on the PC...

  • Video upload from Droid X to computer....file extension .3gp not recognized be any of my players.

    I uploaded a couple of video files from my Droid X to my computer.  They have and extension of .3gp.  None of my players will recognize them.  Can anyone help with this?

    Sorry, bud....didn't mean to confuse you.  I plugged in my phone to my computer and uploaded 3 video files from the phone to the computer.  The apps that I have on my computer (Windows Media Player, QuickTime, Irfanview, etc) will not play the files. The file extension is .3gp.  I have associated .3gp with each one of the players and they just will not open a .3gp file.  I downloaded several video converters to see if I could change the extension, but the converters will  not recognize the .3gp extension either.  I'm thinking that there is a codec (not really sure what a 'codec' is????) that is missing from the original phone files and my computer software(s) cannot 'unzip' the files.  Guess I'm just screwed.  I've tried everything I can think of.
    Since my phone is dependant on Google, I thought maybe the Mobile Video Player Pro app would go thru my gmail and I would be able to copy it to my computer.  Wrong!!!  The app downloaded directly to my phone, so, 'screwed', again...lol.

  • Can I store video files (from digital camera) on my 30GB ipod?

    I'm leaving next week for holidays and I am looking for a storage device. I don't want to take my laptop with me as it is my employers. I want to be able to store video files from my Sony DSC-W30 camera. Does anyone know if the camera connection will work for this?

    Well in case anyone was wondering. It works. You can't view them but they are all there. It is an excellent way to have digital storage device on the road. It does eat into the battery charge quite a bit though. Make sure it is well charged before you import photo's and video's.

  • Can't find Pictures I just uploaded from my camera

    I uploaded new pictures from my camera to iPhoto11. They were there!! My wife even edited the photos. We tried to see them later, and the event was not there, and they didn't even show up as the last import. I tried to import them into my iphoto library because I could see they existed when I searched for things done today. The message said that I could not do it because they were already in my iphoto library. This is where it said they are " Users/trenk21/Public/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/11/21/20101121-192612/P1040523.jpg"
    After speaking to a friend, I just downloaded the software update for iPhoto 11, but that doesn't help me with these photos.
    How do I get these photos back into my library where I can see them, and use them?

    i have exactly the same problem. uploaded pictures showed up in iphoto and after closing iphoto they disappeared. they were uploaded directly from the sd-card.
    when i try to import downloaded pics in iphoto i have the same problem, they show up but aber closing iphoto and starting it up again they are gone!
    this means i cant import any pictures to iphoto at all!

  • IPhoto shuts down while uploading from my camera

    I have loaded pics from that camera before. Now, shuts down while uploading. So, I closed Iphoto and tried again. Same. Checked for updates. I opened Iphoto without the camera attached and it wants to upload the same pics. I try, and it quits.
    On a side note, Last night I could not print. It did not see the printer. Checked the printer with a PC. Works like a champ.
    Thanks,
    Bud

    Bud,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Look just inside your Home/ Pictures/ iPhoto Library folder for a folder named "Importing." If you see it, drag it out to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if that clears up the attempt to import. Use the Finder to look inside the Importing folder - if it has files you need in your library you can go ahead and import them.
    Warning: Do not make any other changes to the items inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as damage to your library can result. If you don't see an "Importing" folder, then leave everything alone and report back.
    Regards.

    Hang on...
    You can only authorise the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store to play on five computers.
    You can download and install iTunes (the iTunes programme) onto as many computers as you wish.
    Two different things.
    Assuming therefore, that your problem is that you have authorised five computers, but now no longer have some of them, you need to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise the computers you still have.
    To de-authorise your computers, go to your account in the iTunes Store and look for the Deauthorise All button.
