Whenever I'm trying to import videos into Image Capture and iPhoto, it doesn't allow me to?

I've been trying to do this for about an hour now. And it keeps on bailing on me!! I'm super stressed right now and I'm about to rip out my hair.
It keeps on importing my images sure fine, but whenever I try to import a video (all of my images are about a minute, three to four minutes and one close to ten minutes) it says there something wrong with it and it can't import! Grrrr!
Please write ASAP, I realy need someones help!! xxx

Unfortunately, I don't have an iPod, so I'm not familiar with how it works. However, have you tried syncing it - does it wind up in iTunes?
As for iPhoto, you should be able to copy or export the files to whatever location you want: your Documents folder or your desktop for instance. If you have them in iMovie, you will need to work on your project there (iMovie is a video editor, not a filing system or player) and then export/share it. If you export it, you can save it to any location you want as well.

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

Has anyone tried to import video into iMovie from a DSLR camera? I can't get it to work

My problem is simple.... as should be the answer!
I recently tried to import video from a dslr into iMovie but all I get is rubbish. What am I doing wrong?
HELP!

The only simple answer without more information is RTM for camera and iPad. You are in the iOS forum so you must be trying to input to an ipad. Tell us what camera, what video format and exact destination.

My videos only download into image capture and they don't show up in imovie because image capture wont let me download in photo,event,face ect... so is there anyway i can get it to go to imoive please help!!!!!!!!!

My camra is a canon powershotA40000IS

In iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE and navigate to the folder where Image Capture stored your movies.
If that does not work...
Open iPhoto, and click FIle/Import To Library and navigate to your camera.
You can also click on your camera in Image Capture and set it to automatically open iPhoto, if you want.

Can't import photos using image capture or iphoto

When I plug in the iphone to my mac, I cannot get the photos off the phone. I did it once before, while leaving the original photos on the phone, but now I photo says there was an error importing 38 items, which happen to be the 38 photos I've taken since my initial import. Image capture "imports" them onto my desktop, but the files are unreadable?
Is this something with the phone or the computer, or simply a software issue.
Please help....
Gavin

i deleted HD cache and user cache as well as image capture prefs and IC performed better right away but then had same issue where iphone stops importing photos. pretty crappy...it seems image capture has never worked right (not in 10.3, not in 10.4, and still not in 10.5, don't remember if 10.2 or 10.1 had image capture) atleast before it would import the photos; progress indicator would get stuck but upon opening user picture folder, photos imported fine. We might be SOL, thanks Steve's Dev Team!

Importing video into ipad2 iMovie

How do I import videos into ipad2?

And yet just another example of how apple-centric limitations frustrate even the simplest functions. If I can import a video directly into my iPad from my "non-apple" camcorder, and play it... Then I shouldn't have to use iTunes on another computer to not only covert the file, but to import it as well so that iMovie can "see" it!!!
This even happens when using garage band ON MY IPAD then trying to use the music I created in I Movie ON MY iPAD!!! You have to save the music to iTunes then connect to a laptop then import the music back to your iPad.
This is CRAZY!!!!!!!
Apple... Get your act together and make all this stupid crap stop... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Samsung Galaxy anyone? While the video editing app isn't as good as iPad yet, the comparability and functionality blows iPad out of the water... You can actually save to folders! Watch out apple google is hot on your a$$

Trying to import video files. Clock on files and hit import. Imovie says generating thumbnails and importing. Then after loading, no movies there. help?

My 14 year old son is trying to import videos into iMovie. He's done this a dozen times before with no problem. Here is what he's doing "I went to import movies, clicked on the idv files and hit import. On iMovie it said "generating thumbnails, and importing". Then it gave the loading sign. When it was done, none of the movies/videos were in Imovie. He needs to have this done as a xmas gift for a friend by Thursday .

After much research and troubleshooting, GoToMeeting replied with the final answer: We do not support the uploading of recordings to editing software. If you are having issues uploading a recording, unfortunately, we do not have tools or steps to resolve this. It is not a supported feature. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The no longer plan to support editing of recordings made with their software. So, we are planning to find a new meeting provider.

Importing Video into iMovie '08 is not working

I'm trying to import video from my Coolpix S7C camera and iPhoto can see it and Quicktime can play it, but iMovie can't. Is there only a certain format that is importable in iMovie? For example, is only 1080i importable to iMovie?
And in case someone replies by saying that I should click Window > Event Library to display the project videos, that's already checked and no dice.
Thanks for any help on this one.
Oh, and I've just purchased Quicktime Pro to see if converting the file somehow will help.

I found the answer on the net at a great site. In summary, if you don't have a DV camcorder, you need to buy Quicktime Pro, convert your .mov file into DV and then edit in iMovie and then convert it back into .mov to display. Kind of odd, but it does work.
Just thought I'd let anyone else out there having the same problem know. The site where you can find the instructions to do so is here:

Trying to import dvd into iDVD,it says Unsupported File Type:Unknown format

Hi there,
I just had a home movie transferred from vhs to dvd. Now I am trying to import it into iDVD and when i try to the message appears : Unsupported File Type :Unknown format
Logical Volume Identifier/VIDEO_TS.
I wanted to put the home movie to music (it allowed me to import the song, not the video).
It says the kind of file is UNIX Executable File.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

to do this you would first need to convert the DVD (mpeg 2) to QT so you can import to iDvd which btw involves a quality hit. There are apps out there that can do this at a marginal level ... for example:

Importing videos into iPhoto

My iPhone 4 is set up to automatically forward/export all my photos into iPhoto, but it doesn't export/forward any of my videos from the same phone. How can I get my iPhone videos into iPhoto, please?
Thanks--Carl H.

it doesn’t seem to want to let me put any of the videos into the Trash
To delete selected items from a smart album try the keyboard shortcut option-command-delete ⌥⌘⌫ .
You then should see this prompt:
It didn’t import/show any of the videos I’ve shot in the last 7-8 months or so
Then you did probably not import any movies to your currently open iPhoto library during the last 7-8 months.
Have you tried to import your videos using Image Capture?

Why does my iMovie shut down when trying to import videos

When I am trying to import video to my library my iMovie closes and I get a "iMovie quit unexpectedly". How can I fix this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Which is the better way to import videos into FCPX?

Hello to all. I have recently purchased an iPhone 5 and while importing videos, I could import them directly via the camera import of FCPX which was open at that time.
Later, when I tried to import a few stillshots, I found that I could not do it directly with FCPX importing into an event: reason being FCPX would not read the still photos. I learnt from the internet that one could import photos/videos from iPhone either through iPhoto or image capture. I tested out both of them and learnt that I could get my phoyos into FCPX via either of them.
My question is this: is it better for me to import videos into FCPX directly or to first save them on an external HD via image capture? Will there be any effect in the quality of the video in these two different methods of import?
Thanks in advance.

You have already pocketed my thanks in advance Tom! The early bird catches the worm! Awake so early? Have a great day.

Importing video into After effects, premiere pro and media encoder result in freezing

I have been trying to import a 17 minute long mp4 video shot with a go-pro into after effects and premiere pro with the result of the program locking up each time. My next thought was try to import it into media encoder and change the file format but it is causing media encoder to lock up as well. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated

Sounds like something might be fishy with the video file. You might try converting with different software, which can often be more forgiving than Adobe tools.

Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks. Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom.
The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes. When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
After reading on various forums I have tried:
restarting computer (many times)
uninstalling previous version of LR
purging video cache
changing source location
changing destination and/or import type
reinstalling LR5.3
I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3. They play fine in Quicktime.
Has anyone else solved this problem?

Hi InVisionMedia
I found a Simular Poste regarding this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5397854
So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

Importing Video into Flash Project ?

Hi, I want to ask you about how can I import video into my Flash Project and make it possible to view ?
I tried to choose embed FLV but the sound quality is quite shity and the video quality too. Furthermore, It expands the timeline which is too long because my video is quite long too. It said that it can be at least 16000 Frames to run.
Now I choose Import -> Import Video -> Load External ..... and then I put it on one scene. The thing is that when I test it, it looks like I have to expands the timeline too so that I can play the videos fully. And It will slow down the computer so much when I want to export. Is there any way I can play the video only by just creating one keyframe ?
Please help me.

i choose Load -> External and it gives me some FLVPlayback in the library too ... But how I can make it relate to the previous scene and it can play the whole video and then back to the first scene...
First scene is where people can choose some option that I made of ...
A is where I link to the scene 3 of my project
B comes to Scene 4
C comes to Scene 5
What I'm stucking right now is how can I made the C choice for people to choose and they can see the videos. I tried to drag the FLVPlayback to the scene 6 and it shows some result. But I think if I want to watch the whole video I need to expand the timeline as much as possible and I really don't want that. Is there any actionscript code or some tips that I can make it possible? Sorry because I'm a newbie so I don't understand your words. Can you explain it more ?
