My mpg files won't open in imovie, they are grayed out

Mpg files imported can be found on my Mac, but do not place in imovie... they are greyed out

You need to convert them to .mp4.  There are many third-party paid apps announced to do this, but you can use the free Handbrake app at: https://handbrake.fr/

that is a very powerful tool that can do a lot of video conversions.

  • I've renamed the images in a file and now they are all out of control, how to make their return to the original order

    I opened a drive with my camera phone, then renamed the photos with brief descriptions, and now they are all out of order. How to make back in the original order they appeared.

    Dennis

    Renamed files are apparently to be sorted by alphabetical order.
    It is the normal behavior of Windows.

    If you open the folder in question and go to... View / details... and
    Select the column that says: "Date picture taken", she should use
    photos.

    Also you can drag and drop photos to change position.

    Once you have pictures in the order you need... you can re-
    Number them in a batch to maintain order.

    Just go to... Edition / select all... right click on the first file name and choose...
    Rename... Enter the next number...

    .jpg (10001)

    Press Enter and the remaining files will be named in the order.

    You can also add a word if you want to identify the group.

    Summer vacation (10001) .jpg

  • Open and Open with are grayed out

    I don't have much experience with the bridge, but I recently started to use it to drag the photos in an InDesign file.

I have no idea what I clicked to get there, no more than I can understand how close this part of the screen. On the left side, I have a file list, which contains pictures for my identification project. However, when I click on file, open and open with are grayed out.

    I just want to go the bridge he had before. Can you please help? Thank you!

  • Page Forward and Reverse buttons do not work and are "grayed out" after upgrading to, as it is the elements of main Menu like file-Edit-view etc...

    After the upgrade to Firefox 3.6.12 features appear to be intact. Then, after a few days he lost the ability "page forward" or "back" and are "grayed out". In addition, the elements of main menu like File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools, and assistance are also grayed out and non-functional.

    In addition, the "search engine" does not search, search the Web should be made since then in the URL window instead, for some reason any crazy. If the URL window is empty when I enter a search in the search window, the following text appears in the URL window, "bookmarks and search history", which makes no sense.

    In the past, I've noticed similar complaints in this Forum, but I have not seen any resolution posted these questions. Is there a solution?

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

    Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
    in different cases.

    Two points:

    1. to open a file (if you got by e-mail or in any other way) you
    need to have an appropriate program installed for it. Thus, for example,.
    to open a .pdf file, you must have Adobe Reader (or compatible)
    program such as Foxit Reader) installed.

    2. to have the appropriate program automatically opens when you click
    the file, you must have an association for it. There is more of
    a way to create an association, but here in the most simple way: find a
    program with the particular extension (for example .doc), right-click on
    it, select open with. Choose the default program. Make sure the box
    "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is
    checked, and then click the appropriate program (Microsoft Word, for example,)
    If it's a .doc file), navigation to him if necessary. Once you have done
    the association is created and in the future, you will be able to
    Open this type of file.

    So what types of files are these? What are their extensions - part
    of the filename after the dot at the end? If, for example, they are
    .pdf files, you have Adobe Reader or a compatible program like
    Foxit Reader (a better than Adobe Reader, in my opinion) installed?

  • File navigation on OS x using openDlg() - why all the folders are grayed out?

    I am configuring a file and folder browsing dialog that works for the two Win/OSX and with filters to narrow the search to specific file types dialog box. I received a lot of help from another user on the forum (Matias Kiviniemi) in order to obtain the function of filter working - but now I have another problem: a little strange.

    When you browse the files under OSX, all the folders are greyed out!error.jpeg

    You can always navigate (somewhat) via the Favorites list and directory tree button at the top in the Center, but actually clicking in the records does not at all.

    I also tried saveDlg() to browse the files, but I have exactly the same problem with greyed out records. SaveDlg() is not the second parameter (the filter function) to restrict the dialogue to a specific file type - which is something that I need.

    // Utility functions for checking if the OS is Win/OSX
    function isWindows(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Windows") >= 0
    }
    function isMac(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Mac") >= 0
    }
    
    
    // All params below are strings
    function promptFile(dialogMessage, dialogType, extFilter, oldPath){
    // Description: Opens up a file or older dialog window for browsing (Win/OSX)
    // Returns: Absolute path (string) to the file or folder that was picked by the user
    
    
        // File
        if (dialogType == "file"){
    
    
            // Create filter function for the File.saveDlg -function
            var filter = null
            if (isMac()){ // OSX
                if (extFilter){
                    var filter_regex = new RegExp("[^\.]*\."+extFilter+"$")
                    filter = function (file_entry){
                        return filter_regex.test(file_entry.name)
                    }
                }else{
                    filter = function(){ return true } // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else if (isWindows()){ // Win
                if (extFilter){
                    filter = extFilter.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + extFilter.slice(1)+"-files:*."+extFilter
                }else{
                    filter = "All files:*.*" // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else{
                filter = null
            }
    
    
            // Create file dialog
            var path = new File(oldPath);
            // var dialog = path.saveDlg(dialogMessage, filter); // Same kind of error with saveDlg
            var dialog = path.openDlg(dialogMessage, filter, false);
    
    
        // Folder
        }else if(dialogType == "folder"){
            alert("folder diag:\n" + oldPath);
    
    
            // Create folder dialog
            var path = new Folder(oldPath);
            var dialog = path.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            while (dialog.alias){
                dialog = dialog.resolve.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            }
        }
    
    
        if (dialog){
            return dialog.fsName.replace(/\\/g, "/") // Back to Front slashes
        }
    }
    

    I'll cross post since my last response to the other crossed the moderation and released after you posted this (and it is relevant for this topic)

    There seems to be backup dialog boxes _SEVERAL_ versions

    • file_entry.saveDlg (): file_entry content is the default value, but do not know if he has locked her
    • File.saveDialog (): same as file_entry.saveDlg, but none value of screening. Maybe it is not locked to original dir
    • folder_entry.saveDlg (): looks identical to file_entry.saveDlg, do not know if there is a difference.
    • Folder.selectDialog: seems more versatile, "simply to choose a file.

    You probably just do some trial and error to choose one that fits, what are the rules everyone has. So far I think Mac has no option for "create a new file, but only this extension." Extension filter only seems to apply to existing opening and win (although even there, he hides just, you can actually set different extension in her typing).

    Confusion between the part which is the "grayed out of all cases" it would imply in fact wants the filter even though the docs say it is not. I.e. you'd need to do a filtering function that accepts two folders or files with right like below (not tested)

    filter = function (fileSystemEntry) {}

    If {(fileSystemEntry instanceof file)

    Returns true

    } else {}

    return filter_regex.test (fileSystemEntry.name)

    }

    }
