Won't import the entire clip

I am having a problem with importing my clips into FCE. I have a Canon Vixia HF S20 camera and i'm shooting in Cinema Mode at 24F. When I import my clips (via Log and Transfer) it cuts off a little bit of the end of the clip. For example, one clip i was working with is 30 seconds and 7 frames long. after importing it, the clip is 29 seconds and 1 frame long. I lost over a second from the end of the clip. And i have a full circle in Log and Transfer. Similarly, another clip was 10 seconds and 18 frames. After import it was 10 seconds and 7 frames.
I did some more testing and recorded a clip on my camera in Cinema Mode shooting PF24 and I have no problems importing the clip. SO, for whatever reason, there is some problem importing clips filmed at 24F? Doesn't anybody have any idea why?

I'm trying to capture footage shot on a Canon HV40 in cinema mode HDV (PF 24). When I playback the footage, it looks a little glitchy in FCP but not on the camcorder. Does FCP support this setting or do I have to change the Easy Setup settings? I have the Easy SetUp set to HDV and HDV 24p firewire, etc.
I'm using FCP 6 on a Mac laptop and a 1TB Graid.

IMovie '11 won't import the new clips from iPhoto

I uploaded some footage from my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A to my iMac. All of the new clips were copied into iPhoto. (I never deleted anything from my camcorder so they're all there as well, for now.)
The problem: I opened up iMovie '11 and the new uploaded clips that went to iPhoto did not get imported into iMovie '11. I see the clips and have played one of them. They're there in iPhoto.
How can I get those newly uploaded clips to iMovie '11?
I just now noticed that when I click the camera icon in iMovie '11, the folder that I made and that has those new clips in iPhoto is indeed there...... but when I click to see what's inside the folder, there is nothing. Yet I know that the clips are inside that folder when I look in iPhoto.
Can someone lead me out of this?
This seems like a good time for me to go downstairs for a snack.

The problem is solved. At someone's request, I looked yet again at the folder titled "iPhoto Videos" in the Event Library (See screen shot.) When I noticed that the dates on that folder included today's date, this time I looked more carefully and scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page, where happily, I found the videos that I had uploaded from my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A earlier today. I thought that all of the videos would go underneath the iPhoto folder and end up looking like the 2011 folders (See screen shot again.)
If all of those folders and videos under/in the 2011 folder are there, I am wondering why such folders from today's upload did not get added there somehow in some form. Why are they all still in the iPhoto videos folder?
Could iMovie '11 be in error? Because as it is now, although I am happy that iMOvie '11 did indeed get my videos from iPhoto, it bothers me that it did not also format those folders below the way the other folders are. The inconsistency of actions bothers me. Now I cannot be sure that looking in one spot will show all of my videos.

Half of my imported files do not import the entire file?

I recently shot some high speed video using 2 Phantom high speed cameras. After converting the clips form their raw format to AVIs at 5 fps, I imported them into Premiere Pro CS5 to put together a side by side comparison. All of the AVIs imported into Premiere, however approx. half of the clips didn't fully import. For example a clip that is supposed to be 01:09:24:13 is coming in at 00:00:28:27. It's not a random compression, because when I compare the clip playback in premiere it does indeed represent the first 28 seconds of the AVI. I tried converting the files again in the Phantom software. One of the clips I was able to import and get the entire clip, however subsequent attempts for the others has not achieved the same result. I even attempted to import the clips into Premiere Pro CS3 on another workstation with the same results.
If anyone has seen a problem similar to this, a work around or a fix would be greatly appreciated, I'm on the clock on this one.

Welcome to the forum.
Though with different file types, I have encountered similar - file Duration is mis-read in PrPro. Obviously, something in that/those file(s) header is being missed by PrPro. I have yet to find out what. As per your case, it seems to be with random files from what should otherwise be a simple group of the same file types, with the same exact conversion settings.
In my case, I get handed a lot of different file formats, and just use a conversion program to get those to DV-AVI (in my case) for SD Projects. Often, I will have a situation, rather like yours, where I will have 5 files, whose specs. all match up (same camera and settings in your case), and the conversion will be batched, and all resultant files identical. From time to time, one of those converted files will exhibit the same characteristics, as you observe. VLC, or other players, will see the full Duration, as will G-Spot, or MediaInfo. However, PrPro is missing something in that one file, and the Duration is heavily truncated, just as has happened to you. Quite by accident, I found that my PremiereElements program had no such issues with the "bad" file. It would Import and see the correct Duration, where PrPro could not. I just Imported, dragged to the Timeline, and then Exported to the same exact file settings, DV-AVI. The resulting file was identical to the problem DV-AVI that I had Imported. G-Spot and MediaInfo say it exactly the same. Various file "comparisson" programs could find no differnces between the two files, yet PrPro now saw the Duration correctly. I only wish that I could tell what went wrong, regarding the Duration in the originally converted file, and then the one that I just Imported and Exported from PrE, but I have never found the difference. I have opened the files in hex-editors, and gone line by line, and cannot find anything different between the two - but something IS different.
While I have no fix for you, I can add slight comfort by saying, "I've seen very similar, and in similar cases - conversion." My "workaround" involves some extra steps (plus an extra Export), in another Adobe program (in my case), so is not ideal. However, now that I know to be on the lookout for the possibility, I just watch those Durations closely, knowing that I might need to work on one, or more, of those files, to get PrPro to see the proper Duration.
Good luck, and maybe someone can offer us both a totally fail-safe method.

PS - I have encountered this with my old-fav, and generally flawless DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, plus several other highly recommended conversion progams, so it does not seem specific to any one conversion program.

HELP!!! Adding effect turns the entire clip white.

I've needed to change some of the words on a title clip, but can't edit the clip since it's been saved long ago, so I need to start over with a completely new clip. Well, I get the right font, right size, right title entrance. But then once I try to add the "Aged Film" effect after creating the title, it turns the entire clip white and you can't see anything.
I'm really frustrated by this since this is one of the last changes I need to make to the video and it won't cooperate for some reason.

Can I import one chapter of a dvd of old family movies to edit or do I have to import the entire dvd first?

I had an old family film converted toa dvd.
I would now like to use one chapter in a project I'm working on. Can I just import the chapter I want or do I have to import the entire dvd first and then edit. It takes so long to do?

Hi
Most probably not - not at all. I assume that Your DVD plays on any regular DVD-Player and if so the material on it is in a sort of .mpeg2 code and neither iMovie or iDVD can open this so to do what You want it needs to be converted into a codec they can open.
There are no standard way to do this on a native Mac (Yes one might ask why - indeed) so there are ways around this.
I prefer these of two methods
• connect a DVD-player to a miniDV Camera and copy to tape and use this
• or - Roxio Toast™ that can open the DVD and back engineer it into streamingDV that both iMovie and iDVD can use.
Best result is if You go directly to iDVD without any editing. But if material needs to be edited using iMovie HD6 or any version of FinalCut will keep quality as high as possibly. Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 will result in a quality loss depending on that they can not deliver interlaced video over to iDVD - so they lose every second line in the picture - less sharp result.
or read my list on
DVD back for future editing
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection)
C. I prefer one of these two ways
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
D. Read what Karsten collected.
DVD back to iMovie.

DVDs are in a so-called delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. [i] I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off.[/i] ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert-'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org

How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

Problems importing the same clips from diferents cards IMAC and CS5

Hi, I'm having trouble importing my clips recorded in The ex1, I'm using CS5 with an imac, The problem is that when I import the same clips recorded in two cards, the second card comes exactly with what is inside the first card. It does not have what was originally in it, it just copies what was on the first card or vice versa. But the original folder in my drive is intact with the two cards intact. The problem is when I import it to CS5 on IMAC. When i import the video the imac makes a long file with all the clips an puts them together except the clips from the previous card, it shows but with the same video that is in the begining of the second card or the last clip recorded in the second card .I tried to import the clip again from the first card and it comes with the same video from the second card again.

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

Is it possible to import one spark component without importing the entire spark library?

I want to create an actionscript mobile application project because the total size will be smaller than a flex mobile application - the SDK is smaller because it doesnt contain unnecessary libraries e.g. the spark, mobilecomponents, framework etc. are not included. There are however 1 or 2 spark and mobile comonents that i would like to use and it seems a little silly to import the entire swc libraries for a couple components. So herewith my question... Is it possible to import a spark or mobile component without actually importing the entire swc library?

Hi Gordon,
Im using option 2: Merged into code. I have just recreated this on a colleague's laptop as well with the same result.
Could you perhaps see if you can follow these steps and see what happens on your side.
Create a new Flex Mobile Project > SDK 4.6.0 > Google Android Platform > Blank Application Template > Finish
Add <s:TextInput/> under declarations tag
Export Release Build > Intermediate AIRI package that must be manually signed later > Finish
Decompile the SWF from the .airi package (I'm using Sothink SWF Decompiler)
Expand Action > Spark > Components
My components folder contains many spark components im not interested in packaging - see screenshot attached above for the full list. All we added was a spark textInput and the swf contains Buttons, Scrollbars, TabbedViewNavigator etc. Thus the reason for this post.

Udio to my clip. When I bring it over it highlights the entire clip as opposed to adding it above or below. Then I can't edit the audio clip. HELP!!

Just discovered this nifty little bug myself today. Boy, Leopard is really bug city, I'm definitely regretting the upgrade. I was glad to find the 'show in mailbox' trick, although then once I went to re-send the message, it duplicated it for some reason and sent it twice, so now my business contact thinks I'm a moron because I sent him this super large attachment TWICE thanks to moronic Mail.app.
Another interesting thing though, is that after finding the email via 'show in mailbox' and opening it, it actually displayed the MP3 attachment as the old Tiger quicktime player (w/progress bar) as opposed to when I first composed the message and it would only display it as an icon. I thought they had just removed that feature for some reason, but nope! Another bug!

Audio Won't Import After First Clip

So I'm having this weird glitch in Premiere the last few days.
The first video clip I drag into a timeline works fine. But after that, any clip I drag from the Project window onto the timeline will ONLY give me video - not audio... even though I know the audio is there. It even plays in the source preview window.
The only way to get both again after the first time is to drag multiple clips onto the timeline at once. That works for some reason.
Restarting the program doesn't alleviate the problem, and neither does restarting the computer. I've tried resetting my preferences, but that did not work. I also tried reinstalling the program, but that didn't work, either.
I can't seem to find anyone else on the web talking about this problem.
Anybody seen this before or have any ideas? It's super annoying.
Edit for more info: The "Drag Audio Only" function in the source window also will not work at all. "Drag Video Only" works fine.
Meanwhile, going back to Adobe Premiere CC (Rather than CC 2014) there is no such problems. But I can't do that on projects I'm already working on in CC 2014...

So I talked to customer support and they told me what to do. Apparently you need to make sure the "A1" on the very left is highlighted or it won't work. It will still import the first one since it's a new sequence, but after that you're sunk. I wonder why I never encountered this before. Oh well. Good to know.

Warp Stabilizing the entire clip error

Hey guys. As you can see I'm trying to stabilize a 3 seconds clip. But when the Warp Stabilizer is analyzing the entire .mov instead of just those 300 frames.
Does any of you know what's happening?
Thanks!

Any help with this?
I want to stabilize just a 3second cut, but the effect insists in stabilizing the entire .mov file

How to import the entire address book into icloud?

Does anyone know how to import the address book in its' entirety into iCloud?
Thanks.
debi

Or you can select all your contacts in Address Book, click File/Export/Export vCard. Save the file to your desktop. Open Contacts at iCloud.com then click the Gear icon in the lower left corner to reveal the Import vCard option.
It will get your contacts to iCloud and syncing with an iOS device however obviously any changes will not automatically sync between iCloud and the computer.
