Importer reported a generic error (updated)

Screen Shot 2013-04-02 at 8.55.15 AM.png

CS6 on Mac OS 10.8.3

I've seen a few questions posted with the same error message, but none that I found really had the same problem as I do.  I can't be the first to import any media.  Two of my files is offline.  I went to link the media and he gave me the error message I described in the title.  I then tried to import the file separately instead of bind media and always had the same problem.  My next tesst simply had to import a video file at random to see if I could import anything and I'm still here with the same question.

Edit: I have just an audio clip were imported.  Not sure if this reduces whatever it is or not.

Edit 2: Now I can import the video but not those who developed offline.  Offline items worked very well the last time I worked on this project and they play back fine in quicktime format.

All luck files are on an external drive?

Also try to manually delete all the files in the media Cache files so many media Cache files (have no idea where they are on a Mac, check Preferences-> Media) and let PrPro rebuild.

  • importer reported a generic error with .psd files

    Hello

    Recently updates to Cs5. I get the "importer reported a generic error" when I try to import a .psd file. I have photoshop CS 2 installed.

    When I try to import jpeg, tiff or any other fotmat still I get errors such as "the bitdepth is not supported" and other such errors. I can't import still images. It's really frustrating.

    Work is about to export a still of the time line. Open in photoshop and save it as a psd with layers. import the layer I first wanted to import.

    any ideas of what could be the cause?

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are several considerations with still images:

    They MUST be RGB.

    They cannot be indexed or CMYK.

    They cannot be progressive JPEG.

    They can be a higher resolution to 8 bits.

    PSD have had problems, if a layer (or more) are smaller than the full pixel x pixels of resolution.

    They cannot be larger than 4096 x 4096. Prosaic, quality will be better, if we adapt to close the project frame size in PS.

    Let's see - to be a little more "they can't be', but I can't think of them now.

    All the foregoing apply to one of your images?

    If the above does not apply, so please give us details of the problem files.

    Good luck

  • The importer reported a generic error.

    After you install the update of the first CC (20141) yesterday on my MacPro and my MacBook Pro (the two OSX 10.9.5), suddenly first on Mac no longer recognizes the .mov files. He does well on the MacBook Pro, but it's no funny at all to edit with a laptop. It was working fine until the update. I can't go back since I already edited the project with the MacBook Pro...

    The message ""the importer reported an error generic. "doesn't help much because I see no idea how to solve this problem. "


    Please, anyone having the same problem and know how to solve this problem?


    Thanks for your reply.

    Solution:

    Do not use the underscore sign. Somehow PremierePro CC 2014 8.1 does not recognize the card where the files are located in. For example: B-roll 20140828_mov, rename as B - roll 20140828-mov, recreate a link to your files and they pop up again.

    I can't explain why this solution is needed on the MacPro (okay, 2009, but run OSX 10.9.5) and not on the new MacBookPro with the same operating system installed.

    In any case, I hope I helped some colleagues who work hard in the field.

    Have a great day!

  • First reporting a generic error to replace clip AE

    Hi guys

    I'm currently working on a project with a lot of greenscreen work.

    I do all my AE FORCED with keylight and mattes.

    The editing is done in first with my "raw" images from cameras Sony NEX VG20 as a proxy footage (MTS files).

    When the editing before it is done, I right click on the images in the project area and select replace footage. Now, I select the file AE containing input parameters.

    This is where the problem occurs. normally a get a dialog box asking what computer I want to use, but now I just get the "the importer reported a generic error" error message.

    What I can do, it was working before and now all of a sudden it won't work at all, even in a new file of the first importation of an AE with just a mock-up.

    Any ideas?

    In this case, you may need to export the files on EI, rather than use the DL.

  • The importer reported a geniric error

    Hello

    I can't download any file in my first items 10. get the error message "the importer reported a geniric error." He used to work fine before (I downloaded file even earlier). My laptop was crushed. So I restored and reinstalled PE10. I lost my serial number original PE10. Got the new issue of the Tech Support series. Now, I can not download any file. I see a lot of discussion on the same topic. but it seems that nothing is resolved. Please help me.

    Thank you

    We begin with General information.

    What operating system is your first items 10 working on? And, your computer uses an NVIDIA GeForce video/graphics card card.

    If a NVIDIA GeForce card, then stops and let us know. There is a serious problem first Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce which is corrected by roll back the driver version of the card about may 2013. We need exclude this factor or back before considering other ways of solving problems.

    See the ad at the top of this forum.

    What are the properties of this file which was compatible with first Elements before 10, but is not now?

    Video compression

    Audio compression

    Size of the image

    Frame rate

    Interlaced or progressive

    File extension

    Format of the pixels

    Brand/model/parameters of the camera that records video might give us the information we need. How long ago

    What was all this work?

    What project preset are you affecting match the properties of your source media?

    Then the usual... latest version of QuickTime installed... and you are running a user account with administrative privileges and also have applied run them as administrator?

    Let us start here and then look at the troubleshooting plan.

    Thank you.

  • ProRes import causes a generic error

    Hello, I'm trying to import files ProRes422LT 2160 p 25, but I always end up with messages 'generic import error' that is not help much, I had to move to my main drive for even some of them to import, but it always fail to import a part, no matter what I do it wont import all of them, the files , it can not import are randomized always whenever I start the program, an import after that one won't either TI on some of them as still fails which is completely random.

    Adobe Premiere Pro also refuses to import from ext harddrives, but on my main solidstatedrive, it imports some of them, but not all.

    I tried to clean the cache of media several times, I tried to reinstall the programs, I tried to reinstall Quicktime 7.79, at this point, I'm just pandering to reinstall everything the portable unit.

    I have several codec packs installed for other purposes such as FFdshow, Combined Community Codec Pack, GoPro CineForm, Avid video Codecs of THE, UT, Lagarith, Xvid and DivX

    I also tried to uninstall most of these codec packs to see if they are in conflict with the program, but none seem to have no effect.

    Info

    Adobe first Pro CC 2015.2 v9.2

    OS - Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro x 64

    GPU - AMD Radeon R9 M290X (AMD Crimson pilot 16.5.3)

    RAM - 32 GB SO - DIMM DDR3L 1600 Mhz

    Well, I solved the problem, it turns out that AMD drivers were at fault once more to break many features of Premiere Pro even with OpenGL rendering off the coast.

    I started 16.3.2 Crimson and I suggest anyone who has similar problems to do the same thing and avoid the newer (fixes) they pump and expect senior officials instead.

    The patches seems to screw with my rendering too causing damaged frames or just outright crash Media Encoder or Premiere Pro.

  • Generic error import for MOV files with lower rate

    I copied several video files from my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7) and tried to import them in first 14 elements. Some of them import successfully, some of them will result in a failure of the support add with the message "the importer reported a generic error." Looking for the files causing outages, I noticed they have a rate lower than all other files. The majority are 29 and those who fail are 27 or 28 fps. Is there a way to fix this error or around?

    Thank you!

  • Import of XML in first Pro CC: "generic error".

    First off, I've read all the threads related to this problem, but I have a few questions. I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere (used 7 FCP forever) so I'm still know it, please bear with me.

    I got a hard drive from a client who told me that he has digitized all his records in first. (A screenshot is below). When I went to import into CC APP, it says "Importer reporter an generic error."

    Screen Shot 2013-12-18 at 11.13.33 AM.png

    In the video folder (an another screenshot below), there are dozens of MXF files.  These import fine. Video and audio are good.

    Screen Shot 2013-12-18 at 11.23.29 AM.png

    There are 37 files XML and MXF 37 files, it seems that they match perfectly. Should I just ignore these XMLs? Can I use these MXFs instead?

    Again, I'm a newbie, so if someone could shed some light on this for me, I'd be happy. Thank you!

    In fact, there is nothing wrong here.  These XMLs should not be imported.  They are just files sidecar metadata generated by the provider of the camera, they import as assets by themselves.

    What you really want to do is to shoot to the top of the media browser panel to watch these clips & import your selects from the project, rather than use the finder / import files.  Summaries of Media Browser on all the garbage you don't care & you will display just thumbnails of the clips. He's going to represent same split clips as just a big piece of media.

  • "Generic error" when importing XML FCP files

    When you try to import any XML from Final Cut Pro file, I get the following "Importer reporter an generic error." What this mean and does it perform a work around? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for sending a copy of the FCP XML, Bill. What seems to be stumbling first is that audio mixed types of channels. For example, stereo and mono. I see two workaround solutions:

    • limit audio content in the source project to clips of a channel type.
    • import the FCP XML in a Premiere Pro CS6 project, and then open the project in CS7. Note that, while CS6 managed to import the FCP XML, a dialog box warns against "possible problems during the translation," which are recorded in the minutes (which I stop not to see again, so no idea what these questions are...)

    I entered a bug report and your FCP XML in the annex. As always, no promise as to the be/when it will be addressed.
