WAV files will not import

Sometimes I create an audio file to accompany an image. This audio file is written on the my camera CompactFlash memory card in a wav format. In my workflow, I insert the CF card into my computer and open LR to initiate an import of the image, as well as to rename the image using my own model (which is yyyy_mm_dd_HHmmss). Since LR1 and until a while ago 4 months this workflow worked perfectly rename both images and its associated wav file (giving both the same name) and put in the folder I designated during the import. That allowed me to use LR to see what images had attached audio files by looking at metadata field of the library module titled "Audio file" as I saw the pictures as well as read this wav file by clicking on the arrow in the Panel metadata.

In the last months, I continued to use the stream of work preceding but noticed that, if I thought that I had created for a few images wav files, I saw more registered in the "audio". As I saw these audio files appear in the metadata Panel, I assumed that I had simply forgotten to create the files. However, recently returning a great shoot, I followed once more my usual workflow but this time, noted that I did of wav files on my CF card, but none were imported if images did import and were renamed according to my model.

I spent the morning trying different methods to get my workflow to work as originally it did but had no luck. Ironically, I noticed that a new version of LR was available today (2016-03-31) so I installed it, but the problem has not been corrected.

I tried procedures and their results:

  1. Import without using my custom template. Results: image is important to designated folder and is viewable in LR, but the wav file does not matter and is therefore not visible (or playable) in LR.
  2. Import without using my custom template, and THEN manually copy the wav file in the designated folder. Results: image matter refers to the folder and is viewable in LR but wav file is not listed in the metadata Panel, BUT after restart LR the image file is visible AND the wav file is listed in the metadata field (and the wav file is playable by clicking on the "arrow" in the metadata field).

I use Windows 10 and have tried the steps above with the image and audio files created with a Nikon D3 and Nikon D3x.

I have searched through this and other forums and cannot find a solution to allow my workflow work as it has done for years.

I thank everyone's help.

It also happens to me with LR CC 2015.5.  On Windows 10, import from a SD card does not matter. Sidecars WAV.  But the import from disk files import them (and they appear in the metadata panel immediately without the need to restart).

However, on Mac OS X 10.11.4, import. Sidecars WAV works of SD cards works as expected.

I suggest that you file a bug report in the Adobe official feedback forum: Photoshop Lightroom | Community customer Photoshop family. Include all the details that you have posted here (not just a link to this thread, because Adobe product designers are unlikely to click through).

  • The contents of the folder WAV files will not work unless the folder is on the desktop.

    Re: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit W/sp2 installed.

    I created a new folder for Wav files and set it on my desk until I was finished downloading the files for convenience purposes. I then used them to slightly change the default sounds for different commands, events and others. Everything worked fine until I moved the folder on the desktop to another location. Files located in the folder assigned and uncorrupted but will no longer work when the event or the command is enabled. If I move the folder to the desktop everything works well again. No error or anything are reported. The files in the folder will simply not work unless the folder is on the desktop. Is that all I could do to fix this?

    Hello

    1. what happens when you play the file from another location, you receive error message?

    2 - is that happen with some .wav files or all files?

    3. did you try copied the contents of the file and save it to another location and check the number?

  • Will not import MOV. WAV. file format, says unsupported file format

    My Premiere Pro will not import any of my files, AFAIK. one day it was working fine, the other just to stop. These are the same file formats, I've used it before and worked fine. When I try to import MOV. the files that I turned on my Canon Rebel it tells me the file format is not supported. I have the codec for the format and imported this format before. As far as I know he does this with all file formats. Im a bit stuck.

    OK last resort:

    Restart the computer, while opening the first press alt + shift.

    If who disobeys, I think re - install is the next step (including using cleaning tool).

  • I have a 80 d but iPhoto, Lightroom 5 & Photoshop will not import RAW (CR2) files

    I just bought n 80 d and was happy with the possibility of processing the RAW (CR2) files, but all my photo programs will not import the files, because they are not recognized. iPhoto, Photoshop and Lightroom 5.  I'm under Maverick on my Mac.  Strange thing however, Image Capture will import them. Any suggestions?

    The 80 d is a bit too new.  It is normal that updates camera RAW trolling a few months.

    I see that Adobe does support your camera if you upgrade to Lightroom CC.  See: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/03/camera-raw-9-5-now-available.html

    As for Apple, you can see a big difference between updates of the Mavericks:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201071

    vs updates for El Capitan (Mavericks is two complete versions behind):

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT205272

    Even though Apple has not yet released the Digital Camera RAW for the 80 D update, I'm pretty confident that you will find that you have to upgrade to get to El Capitan.  BTW, OS updates are free from Apple.  Just launch your app 'App Store' and check the updates and you should see which indicates that an upgrade of the OS is available for you.  (Apple has stopped selling updates of the BONE several years ago.)

  • Windows Mail will not import files from old account OE DBX, all patches?

    Hi, I looked at other issues here but they don't seem to work as I have more access to OE.

    Basically, the computer crashed and OE does not open. No problems with the e-mail address that I opened Outlook and organized the emails to come by here.

    However, having identified the OE store folder (now saved on the desktop), I can't raise the old emails.

    Tried to import via Outlook in a different folder, however no joy because it only allows me to select the folder.

    Tried to import in Thunderbird - no joy.

    Found that Windows Live Mail allows you to import the DBX and had little joy with it, but not much. WLM import only new emails that had not been read could be read. Tried to make individual DBX files and each of them at the same time, but do not show them.

    When WLM downloads the file it indicates how many e-mail are in there, (258 sent items) but never present themselves.

    Any suggestions please?

    David

    Most of the problems with OE not starting not not are due to corruption of (hidden) folders.dbx.  Try to delete this (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7) and then see if OE will start.  If this isn't the case, then move all the message store dbx files and then must start OK.  Then you can try to use file | Import | Messages, point to the directory to which you moved your dbx files, but if folders.dbx is corrupt they won't import.  Yes, you can try the method described here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 to manually import dbx files into OE.  Then you can get them in Outlook or WLM after having done this.  If dbx files will not even import, you can extract what content they maintain with my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

  • Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  • Lightroom will not import the cr2 files

    I'm trying to import CR2 files in Lightroom and it is said that "certain import operations were conducted not.» The following files were not imported because they could not be read", then it will display the file name. I saw on the forum where it is perhaps a mistake to write, but I don't know where to go to change these settings. I use an iMac on the latest OSX and the most up-to-date CC. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert with the product.

    You go to your operating system (Mac Finder) and change the permissions on the folder to READ & WRITE permission. Which folder? The folder specified in the import in Lightroom under Destination dialog box.

  • Since 2015.1 updated some .mov and other will not import video files

    Since the update to 2015.1 some of my mov files from various sources (some exported out of first, a lot are a set of overlays of light leak that I downloaded) will not import into first.  He said: "no Audio or Video Stream Found."  Well, I can open and play them in Quicktime or VLC, and I used them in my projects from before the update.  If I open an old project that contained these. MOV files (and it worked very well) that they are now offline.  If I try to make a link to the error, even.  I tried the old trick to change the directory where they are and cleaning, then my cache of media (have had problems with.) MTS files in the work stop spent) but no luck.  "No audio or video track not found) even if it is obvious that they still exist."  I have almost no extra codecs or anything of this nature installed, so no conflict.  Ugh.  Anyone else run into this?  Someone at - it a difficulty in addition to transcoding know everything?

    Well, I'm happy to report that I was wrong, and it was NO fault of Adobe Premiere.  I still have some other problems with the first update, but this problem was actually the result of my uninstall iTunes, which caused an error in Quicktime.

    When I started reading other peoples problems and reduced my problem until ProRes video and AAC audio, I found a few others who have said that they were having problems with Quicktime.  So I open Quicktime and tried to play the MOV files (usually use VLC Player) and of course, he could not play because "software of Apple service something or other assistance" has not been installed, the result of my uninstall iTunes, I assume (I had done this at the time I improved the first).  So, I installed a new Quicktime layer, and everything is back to working normally again!

    Sorry I have been quick to point the finger at Adobe, although the latest few have caused their share of questions for me, giving me reason to doubt.  In this case, however, it's for lack of my own/Apple.
