Why can't I import video

My video file is .avi I can play it with quick time but when dragging it into itunes, it came flied back to where it was.

I don't have an answer but I'm having the same problem from video ripped from
a DVD now in mpeg4.
For what its worth I'm going to try to import it into garageband as that program seems to be more accomodating.
I'll check back.

Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
"You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media. Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
Thanks
By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters

SG has already commented on this in his initial reply to you. I thought that the above might blend in to supplement what he has said.
I will watch for further developments in your troubleshooting with SG.

Why can't i import videos shot on iPhone 5s to PP 5.5?

I can't seem to import videos shot with my friend's iphone 5 to Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5. However, out of all the videos shot (94 in total), i managed to import 4 of them.
What premiere pro says.
This is the details of one of the many videos that CAN'T be imported into Adobe Premiere Pro.
The one that CAN be imported
The only difference is the resolution.
My Sequence Settings
Please advice.

>iphone 5
Some people find that Iphone won't edit easily because it uses a variable frame rate

Why can't I import videos from my Sony HDR-PJ710?

I've read lots of literature that suggests importing the video files directly from the camera, but when I open the "Import from Camera" menue, the handycam isn't displayed. So basically I can't create an archive through FC, I can't simply drag and drop the .mts files into FC, I can't even acces the "PRIVATE" folder by double clicking on it in finder. I have to "Open Package Contents" to get down to the "STREAM" folder, but at that point, the path has been messed up anyways, so it's pointless as I undertand it. I just really don't want to convert every one of my video clips. FC should be capable of importing them, so I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to create a camera archive without going through FC, or somthing like that?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanky!

Copy the entire file structure intact to your computer and import from that.

Why can't I import videos?

I have tried to import some videos that are in .wmv format and i did this succesfully with a few videos but when i try to add some others they just don't show up. Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

This is happening to me. I can't import South Park the Movie: Bigger, Better, and Uncut.

Why can't I import video and photo media, that in my Music and My photos

I'm pretty new to Mac machines but I've been trying to create a dvd of the current video content I have which was recently imported from my now broken PC, however when I attempt to import any media the items are all greyed out and won't be accepted to import.
Can anyone help please

One possibility with music is that it is from a share source and identified as not paid for, I do not know the terminology, but i had to buy a song once to make it available in imovie, my original copy (no idea where i got it) would not show up. but this does not explain the photos not showing up.

Why can't I import videos from my own DVD's???? Am I doing something wrong

I've been trying to put a video on my ipod but am not having any success. I can't even get the DVD saved to my PC. Do I have to buy the video from itunes even though I already own the DVD???
Any input appreciated!

To convert a DVD for iPod use, you'll need to use third-party software.
You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software.
PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.
Many other titles have been mentioned in this forum. Your question gets asked, and answered, a lot.
Here are some search results for you to review. There's great information contained in these previous posts.

I have a 270MB .mov file that was shot with a digital camera on my desktop. An unknown error occurs when I try to import it into the iMovie HD app.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,
George

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

Why can I not import aif files to garage band?

Once I have created an aiff file in iTunes, why can I not import those files into Garage Band? I'd like to be able to edit some of those files.

I go to garage band and click on create a new project, then browse through the finder and files I want to import are all grayed out -- aiff AND wav files.
You first need to create a new project - in the "new Project panel" select a template (Guitar, piano, ...), not "Open an existing file".
When the project window opens, drag your aiff or wav file onto an empty space in the Timeline, or open the Media Browser from the footer bar in GarageBand and import an aiff song from your iTunes Library.
Regards
Léonie

Why can I not import pictures any more? Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

Why can I not import pictures any more?
Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"
Technical informations:
PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
What I have done:
I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
Trouble 1:
Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
Trouble 2:
I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.
Help:
I would very appreciate if anybody can help me, either to trouble 1 or to trouble 2. Thanks.

Well, then I almost ran out of ideas. The only other option that would entail this error message I know of is 'Per Channel' Pixel Order. If it were the matter of a bit depth, you'd get another error message...
Appreciate the thought!
It has to be a killer bug. It worked 2 weeks ago, last time I did it.
Per Channel Pixel Order? It is regular, bog standard. Should work either progressive or interlaced (and has done in the past).
Here's the info from "Image Data" in PhotoShop CC:
Could it be the PhotoShop CC update has broken this? If so - how do I revert back?
