Will FCP 7 import AVI video from my Nikon D90?

Will FCP 7 import AVI video directly from my Nikon D90?
If not, is there a simple workaround?

The material has to be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec. You can probably do this using MPEG Streamclip.

I have a new Mac. I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac. When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension. I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

I have a new mac. I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac. When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF. Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear. I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one. Any ideas?

You do not need to convert to DNG.
The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4. Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually. There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page. You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.

IMovie will only import short videos from my camera.

Hello,
I recently bought a Sony CyberShot DSC-HX50 camera. I filled one 8 GB memory card and have half-filled a 16 GB card (I was overseas and couldn't download photos to my MacBook Pro, which was at home). I have the most recent version of iMovie but this is the first time I've used it. My MacBook has a new solid-state hard drive and plenty of memory.
iMovie does not "see" ANY of the videos on the 8 GB card; the videos are all either about one, three, or seven minutes long. On the 16 GB card, it only "sees" the videos that are under one minute. I have imported those videos to iMovie, but I can't get it to "see" the other, longer ones. I've tried unplugging and replugging the camera cable, removing and replacing the memory card, turning the camera on and off, and shutting off and restarting iMovie. I've gone through all of the options in the toolbar and haven't found the answer, and the "help" option isn't helpful at all. The videos play fine on the camera screen.
All iMovie does when I try to "import from camera" from the 8 GB card is show the little icons that look like a piece of old-fashioned camera film; no indication at all that there are any videos on the camera card. When I try to import from the 16 GB card, iMovie just shows the three short videos and no indication that the longer ones exist.
Interestingly, iPhoto can "see" the same movies iMovie can. I understand iPhoto is not set up to download longer movies (although it has downloaded movies from my iPod that are several minutes long). But I have no idea why iMovie isn't cooperating.
Help, please! Thank you!

OK thanks. I downloaded the Simple Transfer app but not too sure how to use it to transfer pics back to PC. It asked me to go to a website but I couldn't get it to transfer anything - it seemed to only want to transfer from my PC to the Ipad and not the other way around.
I'm very new to apple products so big learning curve for me.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.

I've used Lightroom 3 for 3 years now. Suddenly I am not able to import my photos from my Nikon d90

The import appears to be ready to go. After I click import it says some operations were not performed, and a list of the NEF files are listed. I cannot import anything.

What is the specific wording of the error message.

Import .avi files from Nikon D90 to FCE

Hi,
Does any of you have experience with importing the HD video files from a Nikon D90 into FCE? Does it require FCE 4 or is FCE 3.5 good enough? I like to mix it with footage from my Canon HV30, which imports fine to FCE 3.5.
Thx for you help!

Importing my video from my event library into my project library, it shows the full width of the clip, but on the viewing section, it's zoomed in and cut the sides of the video off. How do I stop this from happening?

When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
narrowing the width of my footage. How do I stop this from happening?

In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

Is there a patch to enable Photoshop Elements 10 to import NEF images from a Nikon 7100?

I bought a Nikon 7100. The NEF files taken with the Nikon 7100 cannot be imported into the organizer. The error message is "the files selected to import did not contain any supported file types. The file is damaged or is in a format that cannot be included in Elements Organizer." The file is not damaged as the Nikon NX 2 program had no problem importing the images. Elements 10 was able to import raw NEF files from my D90 with no problem. Is there a patch to enable Elements 10 to recognize the format of Nikon 7100 raw NEF images? If not, is there another photoshop product that will import NEF images from a Nikon 7100?

For the 7100 PSE11 or PSE12 will work as support was added in ACR 7.4.
Cheers,
Neale

Unable to import .avi files from digicam

I'm unable to import .avi files from my finepix digicam. I get a message that says the files are unreadable. With the previous iPhoto version (v 06) I didn't have any problems. Any thoughts?

I agree with TD regarding Image Capture. I have the same problem with larger video clips and iPhoto 6. You can use Image Capture, choose "Download Some", select just the movie, and upload it to your Desktop. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to jump from zero to 100% with no real indication of the download progress. Be patient, leave it alone, and eventually the movie should appear on your Desktop. Once there, iPhoto should have no trouble importing it.
Regards.

no need to use HB.. if the DVDs are not commercially encrypted/DRM (=no allowed discussions issue on this board), you simply abuse a MacOs Utility, shown in my screencast:

Can't import live video from Sony PD 170.

Just got Final Cut Pro X. In a New Event I am able to import live video from the new MacBook Pro computer's built-in camera and pre-recorded video from my Sony PD-170 camera. However, when trying to import live video from the PD-170, the program only APPEARS to do so--the clips never show up once I close the import window. Any suggestions?

I think iMovie is corrupted. I would like to try to uninstall iLife 11 but when I put in the disc there is no uninstall option. I tried trashing iMovie from applications and reinstalled all of iLife (I believe wasted space on my HD) but the issue remains. (Maybe because I didn't delete the receipts?) iMovie can not see any devices or use iSight for capture...

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

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).

Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD

Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD card on my IMac . My Camera is a Canon 650D it will open them on my pc copy. My Lightroom 4 on my IMac will also import from an sd card. Help please.

Why not? What happens? If there is an error message, please quote it in its entirety, word-for-word, verbatim.

When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
