When I import video files, iphoto empties itself...

After a lot of recent iphoto problems (every time I imported photos, iphoto emptied itself...), a lot of iphoto library management, new libraries, etc, I also bought a new card for my camera just in case it was a source of corrupted files...
Anyway. Since I've started out with yet another new iphoto library (and all previous photos & libraries erased from the computer) and a new card in the camera, I've had no new "disappearance acts"... that it until today :
I imported photos from another camera than mine (photos that had previously been imported without any problems to iphoto 09 and also to iphoto 6 on two others Macs). An all to known message came up saying it couldn't import one file, an avi video.
I said OK... Closed iphoto and re-opened it. It told me I had to "update my thumbnails" and then iphoto showed up... empty. (Every time I get that message that's what happens - no matter if I say OK to updating the thumbnails or not).
All the missing photos can still be found in the library (via "Package Contents"). But before I start reconstructing, reimporting or making a new library, I'd like to know why my iphoto won't import video files at all anymore (it never had any problems with that before), no matter what format, why it leads to iphoto emptying itself and what could be the source of the problem??? (other than the usual "damaged datafile"... ;-)).
Also - because I'm getting really tired of all these iphoto problems - what's the best alternative photo application for Mac?
Thank you

Hello again...
Forget that last remark I made. I'm totally losing it. Of course the first will show the date of when the last photo imported was taken and the library6 will show when it was imported.
I do however have another question: is it possible that iphoto can corrupt photos?
This is why I'm thinking this might be the case:
Just so you know, I still haven't trashed my last iphoto library (meaning I can see my "lost" photos in "show package contents" - but when I open iphoto it shows up empty).
I have a photo on my desktop.
It was one of those I imported into my last iphoto.
I dragged it from my desktop to iphoto - and it imported without any problem.
I then dragged the same photo - but this time from the originals folder in "show package contents" - to iphoto and was told that the file could not be read or imported.
I've tried with two other photos and got the same answer : the photos can be imported from the desktop to iphoto but not from the originals folder to iphoto.
Is this normal?? (maybe because I'm importing a photo to a place where it already is???)
Just for "the fun of it" I also tried importing a video I made (which can be viewed of different players on my computer) and was told it couldn't be imported or read...

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when browsing/importing video files.

    I've got a trial version of Premiere Pro CC installed today, running on a late 2012 iMac.
    No problems during splash screen or project startup, but when I try browsing for a video file in the import box or attempt to drag and drop files from my local disk, a Premiere prompt says a fatal error has occured and shuts down. I haven't experienced this problem on other PCs/Macs.
    The files I've tried all run smoothly when opened by VLC or QuickTime. Extensions tried so far: .avi, .mkv, .3ggp.
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    3,2 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    If there are codec issues, trial version limitations or these types of files are not supported I would hope PP would say so instead of crashing abruptly?
    Any help appreciated, I'm not an editing guru.

    Premiere does not have trial limitations.
    If vlc plays the files is no garantee Premiere will.
    Premiere does not support mkv.
    Premiere only supports dv-avi and 3gp.

    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

    Hi
    The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
    If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0

  • When I import video and place it into timeline as a raw file with no fx or any added processing I get the message that the video is unrendered and therefore it doesn´t playback?

    When I import video and place it into timeline as a raw file with no fx or any added processing I get the message that the video is unrendered and therefore it doesn´t playback?

    FCE can use DV or AIC video formats natively.  Any other format will need to be converted to one of those two if you want to avoid constant rendering.  The clips you use must match the Sequence settings.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

    I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
    I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
    Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
    Does anyone know what I can do?

    I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2.  It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death.  To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine.  Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down.  Here are the detailed info you asked for...
    What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
    Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
    What other software are you running?none
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).

    No external devices, except a external hard drive.  I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.

  • "Red Error" when importing video files

    Hello, I tried importing video files (.MOV) into Final Cut Pro X but this "red file error" just comes out and I don't know what to do.  I even tried importing my video clip from my iSight camera but it just shows that red error. I feel like every video file imported gets "redded". I don't know how to solve this problem. Thank you all!
    - MT
    P.S. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3

    You have "Proxy media" selected under Preferences->Playback, but you are not creating proxy media for your clips on import. That's why you get the red clips.
    This is easy to solve. Either:
    1) Create the proxy media for your clips, by control-clicking, and choosing "Transcode Media..." and checking the box for proxy media;
    or
    2) Choose "Original/Optimized media" in Preferences->Playback.
    Proxy media uses less disk space and is easier to handle than either the original or optimized media, but is of lower quality; but you can do all the editing in proxy, and then just before you are done, switch again to original/optimized. This way you get lower overhead when editing, and still get the better quality result.
    This may be even more relevant for older, less powerful macs, or when you need to use an internal drive, or a slow usb drive with FCP X. If you have a fast mac and a fast drive, you can work away without transcoding, for the most part (multicam clips and other heavier edits may still warrant a transcode).

  • Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    It doesn't.
    When you import  Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

    I am new to Premiere having just downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday, I jumped straight in and imported all of my files from my video camera however in Premiere only the audio plays back with the displays just showing a black space.
    Out of curiosity I dragged three or four shots into the sequence editor and then exported them and played this through VLC and the video was there?
    As I said I am completely new to Premiere having only spent around 3 or 4 hours with it in the past, I read a few forum threads around similar issues but couldn't find any solutions and as I am trying to edit together a short film for a college project due in soon I need to try and find a way to fix this A.S.A.P

  • IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

    I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
    iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

    Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

  • How to import video files from external hard drive?

    I receive an error "You're trying to import a file from a DVD or Removable Media. Please use Video Importer for importing Videos..." however when I try this I still cannot import video files.  This is extremely frustrating as we have 32 copies of this software and this is sarting to become a common issue.  Please help and many thanks.
    Attached is a screenshot...

    Premiere Elements 12 Mac
    A few more questions for now.
    Taking your particular .avi files out of the equation, can you import any other format from Add Media/Files and Folders pointed to this external hard drive? What is the format of the external hard drive? NTFS or FAT32?
    It is my recollection that AVCHD.avi has always been reported as highly problematic. Yet you seem to be saying that you have no problem importing them in to the project from the desktop with the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to Expert workspace Timeline.
    Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 12 from the Mac App Store or from Adobe? If Mac Store, what do you have Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor or some variation thereof?
    You wrote
    A number of users are experiencing this issue - they connect their hard drive, load Elements, start a new project and go to add media (from the ext hard drive) using the files and folders option.
    Could you supply more information on this via link(s) which have reported this issue.
    Thanks.
