Need help exporting .mov files for editing in PE3

hi,
i'm trying to export HD .mov files from an Aiptek GO-HD camcorder that seems to record in QT format with some funky codecs. I need to export it into a format that i can edit on a PC using Premier Elements 3.0. The few tests i've run have shown a huge increase in size when exporting from .mov to .avi (100m to 30 GB).
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience doing this?

You just need to open the .mov file with Elements.
You don't need to convert it using QuickTime Pro
first.
Premiere may "convert" it to some other format to
allow editing (I don't know) and that would only take
some time at import.
HD files are anywhere from 10 to 60 MB's per second
(some even higher) so a DV version will drastically
increase in file size.
What, besides editing, is the goal of your work?
that doesn't work with this camcorder. apparently the encoding is called QT, but it really isn't. i have to export into something else in order to edit.
the goal of my work is to convert choppy family video into something clean that i can share with friends and family via CD / DVD (not streaming on net).

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • Need help exporting large file to bitmap format

    I have a large file that I need to export to a bitmap format and I am experiencing unknown "IMer" errors, memory and file size limitations.
    The file contains only one artboard of size around 8000 pixels by 6000 pixels. I can successfully export as a png at 72dpi giving me a 100% image of my AI file. However I need to export an image at 200% of the AI file. If I export as a png at 144dpi to achieve this I get the following error(s)
    "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (IMer)" or "Could not complete this operation. The rasterised image exceeded the maximum bounds for savung to the png format"
    I have tried exporting as tiff, bmp and jpeg but all give "not enough memory"  or "dimensions out of range" errors.
    Does anyone know the limitations with AI for saving large files to bitmap format?
    Does anyone have a workaround I could try?

    You could try printing to Adobe Postscript files.
    This will actually save a .ps file and you can scale it to 200% when doing so. You'll need to "print" for every image change.
    Then open a Photoshop document at your final size (16000x12000 pixels) and place or drag the .ps files into the Photoshop document.
    I just tested this and it seems to work fine here. But, of course, I don't have your art, so complexity of objects might factor in and I'm not seeing that here.
    And you are aware that Photoshop won't allow you to save a png at those dimension either, right? The image is too large for PNG. Perhaps you could explain why you specifically need a png that large???

  • Need Help! Bios file for Compaq SR2010NX

    Hello all,  I'm looking for the original bios file for the SR2010NX.  HP doesn't have it on their website and my computer won't boot correctly with it.  ahhhhhh.  I appreciate any help!!!
    Thanks John

    According to what I found, that has this motherboard:

    Which is a A8M2N-LA  Naos-GL6, is this that what you have?  And what BIOS are you looking for, or should I say what did you try to put on it?
    I happen to have the same motherboard on an old Compaq, so I could possibly exctact the BIOS file if it is the one you are looking for.  It showes 3.00 I beleive but I will check if you need the info.

  • Need help viewing mov. files in Quicktime 10, with Mac OS X, 10.6.7

    I have Quicktime 10.0, and laptop with Mac Os X, version 10.6.7. I can't view certain mov files. So I looked up info online, that said to download Quicktime verson 7 to run with Version 10.0. When I downloaded Quicktime 7, I was told I could not install it because I already had Quicktime 10.0. Could definitely use some help!

    Thank you so much! I successfully download the other version of Quicktime.
    But, I'm still unable to view my mov file. I looked at the 'more info' tab and the Codecs is: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode.
    Any ideas of how I can get this file to play in Quicktime, or open in Final Cut?

    Putting aside copyright issues in (naive?) belief you have a legitimate use of the material, your problem lies in the file or disk. One of them is either corrupt or not compatible with the drive you are trying to read it on. Try it on another computer (even a PC) and if you can read it on that computer make a new copy of the file on a new disk or a firewire drive (or USB stick if it fits).

  • Need help importing MOV files into iMovie

    I am trying to import MOV files from a USB disk -- into iMovie's event library. When I click on the files on the USB -- they are grey and won't import. They will play in QuickTime. What could the problem be? I have the latest OS and am up to date.

    Can you maybe try converting them? Download the free program called Miro Video Converter from the Mac App Store. Drag the video into the window and set the output format as mp4. iMovie should import that properly.
    Sorry I couldnt be more of a help.

  • Need help setting up file for program Ai CS5 Mac

    Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help me with something. I am having a 20 page conference program printed through a 3rd party company.The printer sent me back the proof today and on almost every page my artwork is being chopped off.
    This is the email sent with the proof today:
    "               I want you to look at these spreads and tell me if this is how you       visualized your finished pages? A lot of your art is being cut off. The finished size is 11x17.       You sent pages that were 9x12, so I used them at 100% on the 12x18       press sheet. You only need to provide a 1/8" bleed, not a 1/2". You also have       bleeds on the centers of the spreads. Those should not have a bleed. Only the outside 3 edges should       bleed.
    I had trouble getting all of the art to line up."
    Printer Info:
    They print on 12/18 trimmed down to 11 x 17 (for full bleed)
    Requested bleed: 1/8
    They print out of Quark
    I was told I can send them individual PDFs and they will paginate them (in order and add page numbers)
    I created a file in Ai CS5 with 20 artboards (one for each page of the program) Now, the trim marks should be placed at 1 inch because they are trimming 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom. The bleed should be 1/8 so 0.125 on the 3 "outside" edges. Is this correct?
    I primarily do lay-outs, the person responsible for this project bailed last minute so I am a bit stuck. If I am designing it as individual pages what are the exactly dimensions, bleed, and trim marks needed for each page to be set up correctly for the printer to paginate. Should I also add a .5 margin along the edges as a safe zone or is that not necessary because of the bleed?
    Let me know if I didn't provide enough information. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

    It is often just simpler to build your pages (or spreads) to the actual size of the press sheet.
    I'll assume this is a saddle-stitched booklet.
    The press sheets will be 12 x 18 inches.
    It will be printed, then, as 11 x 17 printer spreads.
    That means it will have a half inch (not a whole inch) between the trims and the press sheet edges on all four sides.
    There will be three-eights inch between the bleed and the edges.
    (This is crowding things a tad; typically one tries to allow at least a half-inch gripper margin.)
    Anyway....
    1. Setup the document with twenty 9x12 vertical Artboards, with zero spacing, in two columns. Zero Bleed.
    (Often, depending on the nature of the content, I would choose to build such a thing as ten 12 x 18 Artboards, with content already arranged as printing spreads, thus eliminating the need for stripping. But in the following, you'll go ahead and make 20 separate Artboards, abutted in pairs, and treat these as two-page reader spreads, to make layout easy, and to accommodate artwork that may jump the gutter.)
    2. Turn on Show Grid. Turn on Snap To Grid.
    Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17 x 11 rectangle. This corresponds to your trim.
    Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17.25 x 11.25 rectangle. This corresponds to your bleed.
    Center align the two rectangles to each other, both horizontally and vertically.
    3. Zoom in. White Pointer: Snap the upper left corner of the rectangles to the grid at .375 H and .375 V of the top left Artboard.
    4. Convert the two rectangles to Guides. (View>Guides>Make)
    5. Line Tool: Snapping to the grid, draw your own trim marks at each corner, outboard of the trim. Use .25 pt. stroke weight. Registration color.
    6. Unlock Guides. (turn off View>Guides>Lock)
    7. Black Pointer: Marquee select around all the trim marks and the two rectangluar Guides.
    DoubleClick the Black Pointer. In the resulting Move dialog, enter a vertical movement of 12" and click copy.
    Transform Again (Ctrl D) 8 times.
    Now you have a set of trim guides, bleed guides, and trim marks on all 10 two-page reader spreads.
    8. Create the content as if the pairs of Artboards are facing pages of reader spreads. The top pair are the front and back. The other pairs are sequentially-numbered reading speads. Set up this way, your artwork can jump the gutter when desired.  You can put other printer's marks (sep names, etc.) in the bleed area if needed.
    9. Save A Copy to PDF with Use Artboards checked. The resulting PDF will contain 9x12 vertical pages. Viewed as spreads in Acrobat, you can see that the pages align.
    10. But when they are printed, they will be stripped into two-page printing spreads, ordered like so:

  • Need help exporting ID file with TOC to EPUB.

    I've been troubleshooting a file created in ID CS5.5 and then moved to CC. When I export to EPUB the TOC ends up at the end of the file rather than at the point where I originally inserted the TOC. The vendor I'm sending the EPUB to won't accept a file with the TOC out of place. I tried exporting to an HTML editor and moving the TOC there. (I'm no whiz at HTML though.) Now I see no way to import the file back into ID to export it as EPUB ( and doubt that's the best way to deal with this anyway). I'd deeply appreciate any suggestions!

    First of all, a TOC is not only "The Toc". You need to distinguish between the dynamic Reader TOC and a optional TOC e.g. on page 3. While the first is generally required, the second is optional in most cases.
    You must also distinguish whether the export is EPUB 2 or EPUB 3.
    1. Assume you mean the dynamic TOC > InDesign will create the TOC on the right place, if you choose the TOC-Style during the export.
    2. Assume you mean the TOC on page 3 > Here the content- or article-order is important! If you have a threaded story from page 2-100 and your TOC as a single frame on page 3 > InDesign will first export the content on page 2 AND the content of all threaded frames and at least your TOC on page 3.
    3. Assume further your exported file is correct in most cases, you can change the order of your TOC in the EPUB directly in the content.opf file in the spine-area
    To give you more help, I must have a look at your file.

  • Need help with saving file for printer

    I am using Acrobat 9. I have a document with four pages. I need to save it in two files-- one file with p. 4 and 1 side by side to print on 11 x 17 paper, and the other file with p. 2 and 3 the same. The person printing does not have Acrobat so the pdf itself has to be formatted this way so they can print it. I can rearrange the pages, delete pages, and so forth, but I cannot get them to display side by side except in a "view" option.
    Thanks for any help.
