iMovie creates too many Clips when you import

Hello

I'm importing old home movies and that you have run into an interesting question. When you connect an older Sony MiniDV camera via Firewire to my MacBook Pro, is to create an insane amount of individual clips - of different lengths (between one second and five seconds) - of the video that has no breaks in it. So a solid 10 minute clip (non-stop), I'll have nearly 100 small clips in iMovie.

I actually changed computers - and cable - thinking that it could be a computer problem, but it always does. I am trying to determine where the problem is. I'm hoping to avoid importing video analog if possible.

Does anyone have this problem before?

Thank you!

Rick...

This problem came several times in discussions. No solution if I ever posted. Usually this is related to the time for questions on the code clip. Some people have reported success by importing to the Quicktime format and then transfer them to iMovie. You could try to import into Quicktime.

  • Not able to get sound in video (.wmv) file when you import video clips (.m2ts) to video recorder Cannon using Windows Live Movie Maker

    Unable to get sound when you import video clips (.m2ts) Cannon for Windows Live Movie Maker video recorder or on the video file (.wmv).  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this can be done?

    Hi RichGraff,

    • You have sounds in the VCR of Canon?
    • Are you facing problem with this video or other videos as well?

    For now, I suggest to import the video clip in Windows Movie Maker, which is an application integrated into Windows Vista and check if you get its in.

    What are you - right click the icon on the desktop for Premiere Elements, and then select run as administrator? If so, please return to post 3 where I wrote

    You definitely need a user with the privileges of the administrator account. QuickTime as well as Premiere Elements require that. Sometimes a run as administrator (right-click the icon of the program Office) and selecting run as administrator can help. Please check it out. The permissions are important.

  • Can I import words from the file name as keywords in the metadata when you import pictures?

    Hello

    My apologies if this question has already been asked. I can't find the answer: will / Lightroom can import words filename for my photos as keywords in the metadata when you import the photos from my hard drive? And if so, how can I do this?

    I'm new to Lightroom from iPhoto. After reading several articles on the transfer of photos from iPhoto, I exported some 7000 photos in an electronic file on my hard drive. I'm following the advice, sort and rename the photo files on my hard drive to be able to import them into Lightroom in an orderly fashion. It is not too difficult because iPhoto already for most changed the filenames for event names as ordered in iPhoto. I also prefer to do it manually rather than using any iPhoto / Aperture plugin because my iPhoto organization was far from perfect and I have already started to significantly improve by changing the file names.

    I'm renaming the files of images with additional information to improve the organisation even more with what would anyway keywords "DATE/NAME/NAME OF PERSON (S) IN THE EVENT PHOTO" so it would be good to not have enter these keywords in the metadata after import for each photo. It's automatic and if not is there a way to do this? All the other tips are welcome!

    Thank you

    Hi adiscerningeye,

    You can create metadata Preset and then apply this preset on import for images.

    Link partners: -.

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Shares of advanced metadata

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 * create and apply metadata presets

    Once you create a metadata preset, you must select it during import so it will be applied on all images when importing.

    You can also type a few words under key words, so it will work like keywords for this specific to import Images.

    Let us know if it helps.

  • App problem creates too many handles, PC crashes, how do I know why and stop it?

    We have a problem application that creates too many handles (about 3000 every 2 seconds), but it does so only with certain PC which have a conexant onboard sound, how can I find more information about why the handles are consumed at such a pace? (winxpsp3, dell optiplex 390)
    Application uses a wrapper.exe and seems to use a lot of Flash/Shockwave/Java. (Range of software active Teach of Pearson).
    The handles of process SYSTEM seem to be created as the registry constantly queried for (relative to the sound card) non-existent registry keys.
    His conexant card drivers were installed as a local administrator, and update the BIOS & PC drivers not yet had effect.

    Once the number of handles starts to get in the Millions, the PC grinds to a stop/crashes(usually takes less than 30 mins!) coup!

    Any help, suggestions accepted with gratitude.
    Thank you very much

    Hello jillmarsden,

    It is not recommended to have multiple Antivirus or firewall installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts as PaulAuckNZ said. However, instead of remove antivirus in programs and features, you must go to the Antivirus website and use the removal tool which is produced by the manufacturer of the antivirus program.

    Microsoft has a free Antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides protection for your PC in real time at home that protects against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It is simple to install, easy to use and always up-to-date with protection.
    You can download from the link below:

    When you import videos to iPad, video is upside down.  Impossible to rotate once imported video.

    For a unique display, you can use VLC Media Player but if

  • Can add you automatically some than Tags based on folder name when you import into PSE12?

    I thought that I used to be able to add tags automatically, based on the name of the folder, when you import? I can't ind now. Was this wishful thinking?

    What is possible when you download from the camera or a card reader, is to use the options in the Advanced section. You can add images to a selected album and you can use a template to import IPTC metadata; right of author and writer.

    This is not based on the name of the folder.

    What you can do when you have displayed your subfolders in the left panel is to highlight the subfolder and create an 'instant album' with the name of the subfolder.

  • Avoid duplicates when you import XMLs?

    There are a few versions, we have fixed the problem to get the duplicate items when you import new projects in another.  This was very helpful.

    However, I have noticed that when you import XMLs, first does not apply the same level of... discretion

    Is it possible to get XMLs for import without creating duplicate items?  I found a workaround by first import the XML file into a new project and then import this project first to my main project... but when I'm in a great documentary film which takes 3-4 minutes to open each time, it's not ideal.

    This is particularly important for people using the Pluraleyes because organize us images in first and then export to the EP, and then must bring with XMLs, and it would be great if we didn't have to do a bunch of media management manual to avoid duplicates in the project file.


    Thank you!

  • No Audio when you import videos in the timeline?

    I tried to import a set of videos I recorded Via an ingame recording software called Overwolf. The clips will work perfectly with audio on VLC + Windows Media Player drive.

  • Premiere Pro freezes when you import MTS media

    Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Premiere Pro when you import MTS media.

    Last week, I had no problem with this situation. The files are very large, 4 hours of images and about 20 GB, no problem with the import and export, not even an offset when editing.

    But for the past 4 days, I had this problem with the same videos, I try to import their dragging and everything but my guard freezing program and then crashing, I can't with other video formats, just the Multilateral trading system, I work with. I read a bunch of solutions, but they do not work for me. I tried to uninstall and install the first, but nothing. I think it had to do with the last Adobe cloud update, but I'm not sure.

    IM using Windows 10, but as I said before, this has not happened before. I don't know what to do, I hope someone can help me, please.

    Thank you all for the help, you are kind enough to help me.

    I contacted Adobe support and they told me it was a problem with the update, and it would be fixed by the following.

    What I did to just reinstall the previous version. The MTS files worked smoothly, do not freeze import.

    I appreciate your help and the time you took to answer my question.

    Thank you for everything.
