Flip video avi files . . . now what?

Just rec'd 10 or so avi files made with one of those cute flip vid cams. Now what?
I'd like to edit them in imovie hd 6x but of course I'll need to convert them first. Right now I only have white screen and audio. Do not have QT Pro, but installed Perian. Still same look --white screen and audio. What other components do I need to get going?
Thx for help.

My bad . . . I forgot about mpegStreamclip. Opened avi file and converted to dv. All is well, maybe.
Interesting how original avi file at 12 mg exploded to 82 mg as dv. I used default conversion settings in streamclip. Is that correct? Is there a better conversion format/container I should use for editing in imovie 6 (or FCE)?
Thx.

  • Small Flip video AVI files - can preview in Organizer but not Elements

    Hi all,
    I just spent $110 to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  I installed it to my Dell Vostro 1520 Intel Dual Core 2.2 GHz, running Windows 7 Pro.
    I have a few small (5-10 seconds each) Flip video .AVI files (standard definition) to use for learning.
    To learn, I brought the little .AVI files into Adobe Organizer, and can now double-click on each thumbnail and see the video play clearly, no problem, in the Organizer preview window.  All well and good!
    Next I created a new Project in Premier Elements, and used the Add Media button to reference the same little .AVI files.  But when I attempt to preview them in Premier Elements by double-clicking on a thumbnail, I instead see a green/teal-colored rectangle where the video should show in the preview window, although I can hear the audio fine.
    Can anybody help me?  Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Steve --
    I have Windows Live Movie Maker.  It offers many of the same features as Adobe Premiere Elements 9, but not all of them.  For example Premiere Elements 9 offers Picture-in-Picture, nicer titling features, etc., etc.  That's why I've just shelled out $110 to buy Premiere Elements 9 (whereas Windows Live Movie Maker is totally free if you have Windows 7 Pro).
    Windows Live Movie Maker is a PC-based video editing program, and it does not require and does not use use Apple Quicktime.
    So I don't understand why you say Quicktime is a necessity.
    But I do appreciate your reply and your thoughts.
    I'm still looking for someone who has successfully used Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to edit Flip Ultra (standard definition) .AVI files.
    Thanks.

  • Flip Video-AVI files HELP

    We bought our daughter a Flip Video camera for Christmas. I was able to download the videos but now they play with sound and a white screen instead of video. The files are AVI. Someone please help me figure out what the heck to do!

    Search these forums.
    In a nushell: According to the directions you install the codec contained on the Flip onto your Mac. Then grab the videos from the DCIM folder and save them to your Mac. You should be able to watch them.

  • I downloaded both Morgan and Gspot to convert AVI file - now what?

    What do I do to convert my AVI files using either of these two programs?  Actually four programs - I installed three different versions of Morgan.  I was hoping for magic - that I could just drop in my files.  But no.  Apparently I have to do something.  What would that be?
    Thanks!
    Beth

    You're right.  I haven't found exporting the file to be inuitive.  I think I"ve done what I'm supposed to and nothing happens
    I click OK then....nothing...the box just dissapears

  • HT3775 I recently upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and cannot open up .avi files now in Quicktime. I get this error message: The document "ANDREW_McD_MEDIA_VERSION.avi" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available.

    I recently upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and cannot open up .avi files now in Quicktime. These same files opened up with no problem prior to my upgrade.  Additionally, I had upgraded to the Pro version of Quicktime recently, but it appears I've retrograded back to the basic version, unexplainably.
    I get this error message: The document “ANDREW_McD_MEDIA_VERSION.avi” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available.

    Hi,
    I had exactly the same problem & found the answer here  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3219982?start=0&tstart=0 . Download a program called Perian, very easy to download worked a treat. I wish all fixes were this easy - Debbie

  • Importing Flip Videos .avi

    I can play the flip videos fine from quick time. Now when I go to import movie, imovie 2009 doesn't recognize or show a file in the event library. How can I fix this problem?

    Did you install the required Flip 3ivx codec?
    The installer is located inside your Flip Camera:
    _*FLIPVIDEO/System/INSTALL/Macintosh 3ivx installer.dmg*_
    BTW, perhaps the reason QuickTime is able to play the ".AVI" files is because you have a "3rd Party codec" installed in one of these folders:
    /Library/QuickTime
    or
    *_/Users/ "your-username" /Library/QuickTime_*
    (Here is the list of possible culprits: Perian, Divx or Xvid)

  • DVD Creator 2 Platinum randomly "flips" some avi files

    When importing .avi files to edit, programme randomly "flips" some of the files. Some are flipped in the imported screen, but play correctly in preview, and similarly some images are flipped in the timeline screen but play correctly and vice versa.
    Have uninstalled and reinstalled and spent a long long time looking at the InterVideo support and FAQs but nothing. Help......please.....

    What help do you expect??
    Do you think this is a bug???
    Im not a DVD Creator 2 Platinum expert but maybe its a feature?!
    Try to contact someone from the InterVideo support. Maybe the InterVideo gusr known more about this issue and could explain why it happens

  • Flip Video Camera files

    Has anyone had any success getting videos created by Flip video cameras onto your Apple TV. I can get them to play in Quicktime but not Apple TV. Format is AVI. Thanks.

    AppleTV does not play AVI files.
    you need to convert them to the correct format, and then add them to your itunes library.
    format will be H.264 (mp4).

  • Blank Video to .Mac using Flip Video AVI

    Imported video clips from my flip video camera just fine. Manipulated the clips in iMovie. But when I published it to .mac all you can see are the transitions and opening text. You can can the song I put in the background and I think you can hear the sound from the video, but no video images can be seen. Any ideas?

    Imported video clips from my flip video camera just fine. Manipulated the clips in iMovie. But when I published it to .mac all you can see are the transitions and opening text.
    Video content that imports to iMovie '08/edits in a normal fashion but exports as a "screen" is normally in the Apple Animation (or Apple Video) compression format. Check the QT Player "Inspector" window with the clip loaded to determine the actual format in your case. The is a well known "bug" that has been present since iMovie '08 was initially released. The solution to the problem is to convert the video to one of the fully compatible compression formats -- e.g., DV, AIC, M_JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264.
    How can I export to show at a conference from a PC?
    By ensuring your source file is in an iMovie '08 fully compatible compression format.
    Can support post a reply?

  • Recovered files; now what?

    Hi, there, Mac experts. Me n00b, so I need to ask some basic questions. So my internal hard drive became faulty, and the external hard drive became corrupted. No data was saved, and so now I replaced the internal HD and basically have a new computer. I got Data Rescue 3, did a deep scan and now recovered a whole bunch of files.
    What's next?
    I imagine I need to erase and re-format de external HD. But then? Do I just load the recovered files on it, and then ask the Migration Assistant to load all my old data from it? Will that work okay?
    Thank you for your input!
    D

    To possibly make life simpler, try to repair your Time Machine drive with Data Rescue 3, and see if Migration Assistant will work again. It is more robust than Disk Utility.
    All else fails, like Eric mentioned, you will have to import the salvaged files into the appropriate programs manually. Be warned that some files that are recovered are going to be incomplete or damaged. It is possible that these can cause issues with the programs that use them, and although recovered will still have to be scrapped. You will also find that many of the recovered items cannot be used at all.
    Best bet of recovery of your contact data is if you use the MobileMe service or have an iOS device that has this data as well. You just have to make sure you get that data safely off any iOS device before re-syncing with your rebuilt system.
    It is not a fun task, I know from experience.

  • Re: Noob: Captured video on CS5-now what?

    I am using a friend's computer and I was able to capture video from my Sony cam.  I  I used scene detection and when the capture was completed I saved the project. CS5 saved the captured video into many smaller (avi) files.
    My "workspace" selection is "editing". I wish to edit (create template titles, splice, add transitions, and chapters) to the captured video. However, I am unable find out how. Adobe help doesnt provide much info which suprises me.
    I am just looking for some basic commands/instructions. Nothing fancy. Can anyone steer my in the right direction or provide some basic simple instructions that even an eight year old could follow?

    Adobe help doesnt provide much info which suprises me.
    You've skipped a step here.  First one should get an education in video production.  Once you have the fundamental education under your belt, then you put that education into practice.
    The Help file is for those who already know the basics of video production and editing, and just need some guidance in using this specific program.  It's not intended to be a general education in video editing.

  • Flash gives me html file, Now what do I do with it?

    Hi everyone,
    This may seem like a stupid question, but here it is:
    I've converted and published my video in Flash, and now I
    have a swf file and an html file. I've noticed that if I just put
    the swf file on my website, the video plays just fine but the skin
    doesn't show up.
    I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the html file
    not being included, but I'm afraid I have no idea what to do with
    it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Add the HTML code into the page where the .swf object
    is
