Have been using Aperture V3.1.2 with no issues.
I have always imported my images and videos with no problems.
Today, imported my raw images but do not see the .mov files.
Same camera, Canon 60D, same media cards and Aperture is set to import both JPEG and RAW with RAW as the master.
So I know something has changed but after looking for sometime and not sure how to see and import the MOV files.
Appreciate any help!

Check in your import settings that the exclude files types area is clear.

Tony,
Did that and they are all clear, that is what was throwing me.
I have also restarted the Macbook a couple of times thinking maybe something was scrambled in the program.
It isn't a big deal as I edit them in IMovie, it just made it easier to keep all the media in one place.
Appreciate the suggestion.
Using a card reader, do the .mov files show up in Finder?
Kirby,
Yes, they are fine and I was able to import them into IMovie with no problem. But, they don't show when I try and import to Aperture.
I'm having the exact same problem trying to import .mov files taken on a Lumix LX5. No problem with RAW files. They're on the SD card and double clicking them views them fine in Preview.
I've fixed my problem. After I checked "exclude photos" still nada, but after I selected "both jpeg and raw as masters" voila! they magically appeared and imported just fine.
Tried that also and still no movies. I do get an error that asks me if I want to import uprecognized files or not. So, I guess Aperture is not liking my .MOV files.
This has happened with a second memory card also. I just imported the videos into IMovie with no problem.
Odd. Sorry it's not working well.
What happens if you drag the .mov files from Finder and drop them on Aperture?
Now, that is interesting! I dragged the video files into Aperture with no issues.
When I went back to look at the card in Aperture Import, the .MOV files showed up!
So, I guess it was some sort of association that was corrupted and relinked when I dragged them into Aperture?
Appreciate everyones help on this.🙂
Oddly enough, I have the same problem. I can drag the files in from the card with finder, but Aperture cannot see them.
What worked for me was to completely shut down the computer, restart and then drag the video files in from Finder.
Once I did that, now I can see them anytime I insert a card with .mov files on it.
I guess it was some sort of association that had an issue.
Hope this helps.🙂
I have the same issue as eveybody else but what i do is open iMovie and import directly to that app which works fine.
I have the same problem after recently reinstalling Aperture to my new MBP Retina. Aperture works in all other ways except import .MOV files. I have copied the fiels to the hard drive, I can play the movie in quicktime, etc. But, Aperture reports them as unsupported formats (and doesn't import them when I do drag-drop). I don't have Divx install or any other codec (/Library/QuickTime has just AppleIntermediateCodec.component and AppleMPEG2Codec.component, and no non-apple stuff in ache).
I've reinstalled Aperuer to no avail. I can't really get myself to reinstalling OSX for this.
This infact is the second time I've had similar issue with Aperture and upgrading Aperture. A while back in my old MBP, Aperture had similar issue importing video files and upgrading my library resuled in dupclaite originals. I am not liking Aperture much!
I'm also having an issue importing .Mov files. Mine show up in the import window, can be checked, and then it says they've been imported but if you re-insert the card... they show up again (the "do not import duplicates" box is checked). You can maually drag them over from the import window and they'll look like they're copying, but they don't. The only way to actually import them is to drag from the card reader to the desktop, and then drag into Aperature. Total PITA. I wonder ho many videos of my kids are gone because my wife thought they imported properly.
Same issue and setup here. I use a Canon 60D and was blissfully importing jpgs, raws and movs when at some point, Aperature decided to not import the .mov files. I just recently noticed this and just like Hella-Buggin, I too wonder how many videos are gone. Not happy and it seems to be affecting more and more people.
When I go through the normal importing proceedures, the .mov files will not even appear in the import window, only the still pictures.
I'm not "excluding videos" and have retried to import but have been unsuccessful. I have installed all the latest updates to the OS and Aperature. I was able to drag the file from Finder into Aperature but that trully should not have to happen.
Apple, are you looking into this?
Thanks.
Don't see .mov files in Aperture
