Importing Scenes

[Joel Me]

My camera is now recognized and I've imported the tape into Videowave. (XP Pro, Canon camcorder, 16:9 format) I see the captured scene thumbnails in Roxio Media Import. All is well, up to this point, but I cannot drag them into Videowave. Both Timeline and Storyline give me a No Can Do (crossed circle). Anyone have ideas about bringing them into Videowave? -- Joel

Click on View, then click on Media Selector. Once it opens, leave it open, and click on View, again. Then click on Dock Media Selector. It will then always be on your screen, when you open VideoWave.

 

Now, in Media Selector, browse to your movie, and drag it down to Production Editor.

I do not see "Dock Media Selector" under view. But my problem was not that I couldn't see the Media Selector. The problem was that it would not let me drag the scenes I want into the Production Editor.

Ok, hopefully you don't have a stripped down OEM version of the software, that came with a DVD burner or computer.

 

In VideoWave, click on View, then on Media Selector. Now, browse to your video file, then right click on it, and select Scene Detection. If you see scenes in there, click ok. Now, select all of the scenes by clicking on the first scene, then hold down the Shift key, and select the last scene. All scenes should now be selected, and you just drag them down to Production Editor.

 

Alternate: If no scenes are showing, when you right click on your movie, and select Scene Detection, then click on the Auto-Detect Now button, and wait for the software to detect all of the scenes, then click OK. Then drag the scenes down to Production Editor.

Communications problem…

 

But your problem is, user error and frankly I wish MS would have never allowed Drag Anything in the first place!!!

 

You cannot Drag a file in VW as you have found it won't work

 

Instead you select the file or files (in this case scenes) and click the Open button.

 

Scene_0001 is selected but as you can see (circle w/slash) it will not drag! But if I click Open[/i] it goes right into the Timeline.

 

Does that work?

I don't understand why you say you can't drag a file or scene to the production editor. I do it all the time

Walt, I think that he is try to drag them in from Media Import, after he captures the video.

Yes but Jim quoted the OP where he states he couldn't do it from Media Selector.

Media Selector won't let you drag the scenes in, without right clicking on the video and selecting Scene Detection, or having the scenes already showing in the Media Selector screen.

 

It sounds to me like the OP has not detected the scenes yet.

 

James did it from All Media, and did not drag them in.

To clarify…

 

I was not using the Media Selector – Walt is right it will allow drag.

 

I was using Media Import which is brought up by clicking Add Photo/Video. It does not allow the dragging of anything.

 

If the OP can't drag, it is because he is not using Media Selector (Under View – Media Selector)

I know. That is why I outlined how to do it, from Media Selector, in my other posts.
