Why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N

why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N?

Hi there. For anyone searching, here are the results of my research and corresponding advice back to Sony...
Thanks, your comments looked correct but did not solve my problem. You may be interested to know after much testing and research, I was able to ascertain that some of the camera's AVCHD settings iMovie cannot see at all (only some, which made it even harder to figure out!). Plus, if you have recorded movie clips in more than one format to the memory card (MP4 or any one of the AVCHD's), iMovie cannot see any of the AVCHD's.
Bottom line - forgo the benefits of AVCHD on the Sony NEX-5N and just use MP4 until Apple makes it easier.

  • Why I can't import the sidecar.xml anymore?

    For more than 1 year I used sidecar.xml generator for write the titles of the articles and the export/import in every different size of each issue of my magazine. To import I chose "import multiple articles" and chose the sidecar.xml folder.
    Now with the latest update this seem don't work anymore and it's a HUGE problem for me and I think for many others. I read about this new path-based sidecar.xml files but I don't need it, I want to use the old way to import my xml that worked fine.
    On your release notes: "There are now two different methods for using sidecar.xml files to import articles. The classic sidecar.xml workflow is still supported—the sidecar.xml format and workflow remains unchanged." and then why I can't import anymore the sidecard generated from sidecar.xml generator?

    Hi Bob,
    I’m Tyler. I have the same problem of ‘can’t import the sidecar.xml’.
    I did some work as the metrosur provided on the top:
    • Write the titles in the xml files (manually or using sidecar generator)
    • Copy the xml file (without folder) in the main folder with all other indesign folders
    • Upload all directly to Adobe servers
    But there was a new issue happened that can’t order article automatically
    Could you give me some help about a few questions?
    1) I saw your workaround in comments, but I can’t try this way for the moment.
        I want to ask that can solve this order problem?
    2) Do you know what time is this problem will be resolve because it’s very important to me.
        When this issue resolved, can you announce it in the comments or others?
    I would very appreciate for your help.

  • Can't import hourlong clip - how to edit down?

    I was going to import an hour long clip but apparently I can't import anything over 10 minutes. So, how do I edit the video into manageable segments without having to forkout for Final Cut Pro as recommended on the pop up?
    I only want a bit of shareware...
    thanks

    You should still be capable of importing a lengthy video - iMovie just has a tendency (I don't know why) to break up long shots into 10 minutes clips that are still useable. Just drag all of the segments of the clip into the timeline - it should still play continuously without hiccups - just as it would had you split a video clip at the playhead.
    If there are a great many segments, you can select them all (or a select number of them simultaneously) and bring them down into the timeline together in one shot.

  • Premiere CS5 import avi clips without sound. How can I import avi clips with sound without convert?

    Dear Adobe Forum,
    I have the following problem, please help:
    I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
    avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
    What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
    Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
    Thank you in advance

    Consequently, as you can see, they have both nearly the same information
    Both video clips have the following audio codec:
    AAC
    In the folder where all raw video clips exist there are a few new files with the codec ending: .AVD ("the name of the file".AVD)
    But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work.

    but when i import it to Skeleton.java i still get the same problem.
    of course this is how it goes:
    package code;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    public class Board extends JPanel
        public Board()
    package SkeletonGame;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;

  • How can I import video clips from my Kodak Z740?

    I have done this three times, and now I am unable to. I am losing my mind! I believe that when I did it before, I imported pictures first off the camera into iPhoto, then I pushed the import button again and the movie clips came in, which I then transferred to iMovie. This isn't working now. Help!

    Hi Brealyn - welcome to iMovie Discussions!
    Can you tell us more about what you are wanting to do?
    Are you wanting to use movie clips from your digital still camera to make an iMovie video?
    What part of the process is not working now? Are you able to import the still pictures into iPhoto successfully?
    Can you also import the movie clips successfully, or is that the problem area?
    If you have been able to import them, can you then not get them into iMovie?
    Are you saying that you have succeeded three times in getting movie clips like that into iMovie?
    Lots of questions!! Just want to clearly establish what you have managed before and what you cannot do now.
    The following info comes from the iMovie Help Menu:
    MPEG-4 video cameras (which yours is) may not have a FireWire connection, but have a USB connection. To transfer the video from and MPEG-4 device to your computer, connect the device to your computer using a USB cable. Your MPEG-4 camera or device appears as a hard disk on your desktop. You can open the hard disk icon and drag the video footage into your iMovie HD project or to your desktop for importing later.
    When importing footage from an MPEG-4 device, your video is imported as a single clip into your project; iMovie HD does not break it up into cllps automatically. You cannot use the capture controls to import your video or control your camera. You cannot use the Make a Magic iMovie feature to import video automatically from an MPEG-4 camera connected by a USB cable.
    The Help Menu is really worth looking at.

  • Why I can't import o sync my videos made with my IPhone 4S?

    I can't import o sync my videos made with my IPhone 4S. Have try ICloud Photo Stream, IPhoto, Image Capture, Drang and Drop, Dropbox, also turning it on and off, nothing seams to work. Can someone please give a efective solution? Thanks

    The iPhoto app (version 9.4.3) on my iMac (with OS X, version 10.8.4) no longer imports videos from my iPhone 5 (with the latest version of iOS).  This problem arose suddenly roughly one month ago.  Whenever I connect my iPhone to the iMac, all my photos are imported without a problem, but I get the following error message for all of the videos on the iPhone:
    I get the same error message when my children try to import videos from their 5th gen iPod touches.  The videos simply do not get imported and they remain on my iPhone anmd the iPod touches.  Strangely, I can send the videos via iMessage or email to other iPhones/iPod touches and they play with no problem on the recipient iDevices.  
    Again, this problem began suddenly roughly one month ago - I was able to import videos from my iPhone 5 without incident before it suddenly stopped working - and I am stumped at how to correct this problem.
    I do not have any issues with storage capacity on my iMac, so that possible explanation can be ruled out.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
