Importing Kodak .mov files in Premier Pro CS3?

I am using Premier Pro CS3 and I have a new Kodak Playsport Zx3. Kodak says the .mov clips are 1080p, and 30 frames a second. I tried importing clips into CS3 and I get 'file type not supported' error. The manual says .mov are supported. What am I missing? Do I need Quicktime installed for importing the files?

Welcome to the forum.
Can you tell us more about your computer?
If you are getting the "Not Supported" error, then it is likely that you do not have the proper CODEC's installed. For the MOV format, those are usually installed with Apple's QuickTime Player. Do you have that installed? If not, it is free, though IMHO, is not that great a player. In your case, you only need the CODEC's that it installs.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - something else to consider is that many camera mfgrs. will ship their own version of the CODEC's, and these might be on the CD/DVD, that came with the camera. Sometimes, the CODEC is an extra install, sometimes it's built into the driver for the camera, and sometimes, it's part of some video editing program, that ships with the camera. It just depends.

Cannot import mpg files into Premier Pro CS3

I've read the wiki and looked through the FAQs and did not find this issue, so here goes.
The file began life as an mp4 from a GoPro HD camera. It plays correctly in Apple's software, but will not import into Premier. Found the KB on
Error message "Unsupported format or damaged file" when you import MP4 clips into Premiere Pro CS3 and changed the extension to MPG. This got me audio, but no video. The MPG plays correctly (audio and video) in Windows Media Player as well as in Bridge CS4.

Any ideas?

PrPro is pretty well centered on pro formats. Many find that other NLE's, designed for consumer cameras and formats, work better and some natively. It's a tough call. I love the interface and workflow of PrPro, and use it 99% of the time. However, with heavily-compressed, delivery-only formats/CODEC's, some other NLE's work better - to start. I use those as converters, or do batch conversions with DigitalMedia converter, but it's shareware, and not freeware.
Some users want PrPro to embrace every possible CODEC and variation on each, with hourly updates, as mfgrs make changes, and others want it to only perform 100% with pro-formats and leave the consumer stuff totally alone - there is PrElements for that. Me? I just roll with the punches, and convert from X to Y, and edit in my chosen NLE. Kinda' the "Jimmy Buffett" of video editing.

Importing .avi file into premier pro CS3 without losing quality

I have used CAMStudio to capture datalogging on my screen. The file size is 1280 x 800 pixels with a frame rate of 200 frames/second. I have tried using virtual dub and many other programs to create an avi file that I can import into premier without losing quality. None of this has worked. I have tried using the forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/2060872#2060872 but this didn't work for me either. If anyone has a simple solution for this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Even if anyone could suggest a different screen capture program the will smoothly import into premiere without losing quality.

Very recently, Jeff Bellune posted his workflow for Camtasia/CamStudio material. I'd do a Search for "Techsmith" then filter on this forum and on People = Jeff Bellune. IIRC, he basically updated Dan Isaacs' suggestions. I do not think that his techniques were limited to CS4, but could be wrong.
If I can find that post, I'll add the link here. Actually, I need to make sure that I have that link in an article that I did on Camtasia/CamStudio workflow elsewhere.
Good luck,

Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
Still same problem, nothing has changed.
It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
My system: (Laptop)
Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas what might be wrong?

dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...
cfrepair utility:
http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/SiliconImaging_support.html
cineform codec (neo player)
http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec

Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera. It saves files with an .m2ts extension. This extension is not supported by CS3. Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2. When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio. How do I import the audio? Thanks.
David

I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked. I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3". There are several other files there with similar names. If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
Any help would be much appreciated!

Premier Pro CS3 crashes with Canon 7D HD files

I am just putting together a promo for a client, shot in HD on my Canon 7D. Everything went fine until 3 minutes into the project when Premier Pro CS3 refuses to render more than 1:30 minutes. (I already changed preferences to "Optimize rendering for Memory") Also the preview window is blanced out White and Black further down the project time line (even after changing back to:"Optimize rendering for Performance". Also now Premier starts crashing everytime I add a sound track. It looks as if the Canon 7D .mov files are too unwieldy for my new 12GB iMac 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 (OSX 10.6.3).
I need some urgent help please, as my job in in jeopardy.
Should I convert my canon .mov files into H.264 first or what is the best way to work with these files?(using MPEG Streamclip)
Thanks very much for your help.

I am probably too late, but if you have Apple Pro Res 422 Codec available in MPEG Streamclip you should transcode your HD files to that and then bring it into Premiere. They will be easier to work with that way.
Good Luck!

Problems importing Sony Handycam mpg files into Premier Pro CS4

I'm investigating Premier Pro CS4 for video editing and if I can make it work okay then I will purchase the Master Collection. Otherwise I may go to the MAC and use Final Cut. I need immediately to edit files downloaded from a Sony HandyCam that come off in an mpg format I believe it is (MPEG-2). My understanding is that the Premier Pro supports the importing of mpg files.
When I attempt to import one of theses mpg files I get the error, "Unsupported file format or damaged file." I know the files are okay because I can play them with Windows Media Player and have been able to edit them with Window Movie Maker. Now I need a more robust editing environment and am looking at Premier Pro to be the solutions.
Has anyone had experience with importing mpg files? Is there a Codec needed? If so where can I get it and how do I install it?

Adobe wouldn't help me on the phone, as I haven't got a support contract. Perfectly rational by them, just stupid.
I've asked my software supplier to forward on some questions and a link to this thread to Adobe support and they should be looking at it soon.
Also, there is another possible solution that might help those of you with full versions.
There is some advice here on one way to give Premiere Pro the ability to import MPEGs.
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html
This is very attractive to me - as I know the AC3 audio codec is used by my MPEG files and it sounds like it could be a solution. Of course, I've tried it, and I still get the same error.
I ran the files through TSRemux and got the same 'file format not supported' error message.
I've also been trying to import a .mov file into the trial version and I get the same error. Jim, would you be able to help me by saying in which other ways the trial version is limited?

How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

Hi
As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
Any help
Thanks.

I am still not getting this.
I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

Importing mov files in premiere pro cs5

I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on my machine and now, i have two issues.
1. I do have the latest quicktime installed but when i try to import *.mov files with audio, only the audio is imported and works fine. the video isn't, but I dont get a dialogue error box.
A). if the *.mov file has only video, i get a file import failure message saying " the file has no audio or video streams".
2. the next prob is my dymanic linking does not work.
Help please

Im trying something and I hope you can help me. I have two computers, one dedicated to capturing a event and the other I have is dedicated to playback. They share the hard drive via a network. What I want to know is- is there a way for the dedicated playback machine to access a video file that is still being captured by the capturing machine and play back parts of it in a sequence??

Zone Alarm, eh? I used to use that program, but it got in the way of almost everything that I did, that I canned it completely.
Glad that removing ZA solved your issue.
Personally, I find MOV Animation CODEC to be quite good, and use that for a lot of work. Jeff Bellune, here, like the Photo JPEG format, but I have not explored that.
Good luck,

I cannot import .mov files to Premiere Pro or Adobe Media Encoder.
How do I around this problem?

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you.
What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, exactly what does it say?
What version of Premiere Pro? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system?
Does this happen for all .mov files or just some? Has this ever worked before? What version of QuickTime do you have installed?
Here's a page written for After Effects, but the information is relevant to Premiere Pro and AME, too:

Import mov files into premiere pro cc windows

Hi
to import mov files into premiere pro cc 64bit ,windows 8.1 64bit pro do i need Quicktime pro or quicktime alternative ?
because when i try to import a mov file i got this error
thanks
i remember cs6 was able to import it
i have never installed quicktime pro

Your question simply cannot be answered definitively for a given clip because it's the codec that matters, not the wrapper/file extension.
As of one of the 7.x releases, Premiere implemented native support for decoding some codecs within a QuickTime file. But that native support does not extend to the entire universe of codecs that can be stuffed into the wrapper.
So you can either report the codec or simply install QT and see if that enables PPro to import the clip.

Edit .mts / H.264 file in premier pro and preserve time of recording (typical timedateoriginal meta)

There is a similar discusion in this thread, but I though i start a new focused thread, and sum up
Similar thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4212491#4212491
This is what i want to acheive:
My AVCHD camcorder generated a bunch of ,mts files.
I want to merge these into a single file, edit it in premier pro and generate a video in which the subtitle track contains the time of recording.
This is what i can do:
I can merge all .mts into a single .mts with the help of tsmux
I can then extract the timedateorginal meta codes of this file with all the recording dates and times with the help of subtitlemaker (url in my entry in the thread above) and make a subtile .txt file.
I can then add the subtitle track to the .mts file in Adobe Encore and i'm done!
But here is my problem:
I want to edit the clips. I can not do that in encore, i need premier pro for that.
However, if i start to edit .mts in premier pro, it seems i lose the meta data which contains time of recording.
Even if i go the really cumbersome way of editing each original .mts files individually (auch)..I still have the same problem.
HELP !
In my DV days life were easy:
Import the 9Gbps single DV file into premier pro.
edit the whole thing.
export as DV
run through http://paul.glagla.free.fr/fichiers/dvdate_71en.zip and generate a subtitle file which contains the time of recording dates and times for the video.
add subtitle to the video in encore, done.
I appriciate any solution. I don't think i am the only one with this problem. I have googled really hard to find a solution, but have had no luck.
Thanks...
Per

So..for anyone who has the same problem and find this thread, here are my 2pence.
I want to make a home move of our last 5 skiing vacations. I want a subtitle track containing the time of recording information.
I do not want a title overlay on the video, but when the discussion about 'when was that--!?' comes up, i want to be able to turn on subtitle. Simple !
I moved from DV to AVCHD (not because of HD Jim, but the DV camcorder was old, and newer seemed better at the time)
Hence my new problem: I have a bunch of .mts files, i need to edit those in a timeline editor, and get a subtitle track with the recording time.
recording time is in the -mts video meta data called timedateoriginal. To some extend also file attribute date of change (=time of writing to the SD card).
As it seems difficult to keep the meta data once you passed a timeline editor, and the file attribute does not make sense when you put a bunch of .mts files together, I think the best way forward is to find a timeline editor which also has subtitle tracks.
i.e. after steps 1) and 2) in my i have a single file and a .srt subtitle file to match.
I can now use those in a timeline editor.
Hunt is out for which editor, but it seems there are a couple of options. To be tested.
Once the sequence is edited, the new version of the subtitle needed to be exported so that it can be imported into adobe encore together with the final sequence for DVD/blu-ray authoring.
If anyone find a better way,, please let me know.
thanks...

Having problems importing my .mov file.

I am having problems importing several .mov files into iMovie. I also can't import .wmv files and I have been utterly confused. I know I have to convert the files but I don't want to pay for a program because I will only be converting 4 files. Please help!

What is Mpeg Streamclip
It is a free conversion application that accesses the QT structure and all installed QT components without having to pay the $30 for QT Pro or purchasing GarageBand. It's "engine" is MPEG-based, so it can do some things that QT Pro cannot do ( e.g., retaining audio content when converting multiplexed compression formats). On the other hand, it cannot perform layer operations like QT Pro can so these applications are somewhat complementary.
and is there anyway you can send me a link to download this program please?
