Premiere Elements 10 - can't play back imported HD video (from Canon HV30) in Quicktime or FCP

After playing around with the trial version, I eagerly purchased Photoshop Elements 10 Premiere for its ability to edit video from my Sony Cybershot camera (Final Cut Pro would not do this) and for its ability to import video from my Canon HV30 HD camcorder (Final Cut Pro is really fussy on this).
Also liked the option of importing without breaking in to individual scenes. FCP and iMovie won't do this.
So, after the first import of a tape, I discover that the imported file will NOT play via Quicktime, and when I imported that file into Final Cut Pro, I got the eternal circle icon which lead to a crash.
What's going on here?

How can I play an mpeg-2 file from my handycam on quicktime?

When I try to play an mpeg-2 file from my handycam I receive an error message stating that a required codec is not available. How can I get this codec and is it a free download? Neither audio or video will play.

Thanks for your input. To clarify a couple of things, I'm ultimately looking at editing my video from the handycam, hopefully with imovie. In exploring how to do this I came across mpeg streamclip video converter for osx but then discovered that in order to install it with Lion, I'd need to download a mpeg-2 playback component. From what I understand, this component is inherent in QT 10.1 with Lion and therefor you can't brink up a 'disk image' in order to install the video converter. Sounds like I'd need to buy that.
As previously mentioned, there are three forms of QT support for MPEG-2 content:
1) The QT MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) is required for use by QT 7 based applications (QT 7 Player, GarageBand, as well as, QT 7 based third-party applications like MPEG Streamclips. This component is not used required for nor used by the QT 10.1 Player or iMovie '07/'08/'11 apps.
2) The Importer Component installed as part of your video editing software package. As previously indicated, this package handles the importation of content from various camcorders employing many different compression formats. It's primary purpose is to make the imported content "edit" compatible with the video editing software. In the case of "muxed" GOP MPEG-2/AC3 content, it decompresses/turns the P- and B-frames into I-frames which essentially makes the video QT editit compatible at the frame level without actually converting the video to a different compression format. This is a moderately fast operation which does not degrade the video quality. In addition, the importer component also converts the AC3 audio to QT "edit" compatible AIFF (Linear PCM) content and places both the video and audio content in an MOV file container. Since "muxed" GOP MPEG-2 content essentially synchronizes the audio and video content spatially, the last step in the import process is to add a time offset to minimize audio/video drift in the MOV file which synchronizes the multiple data tracks temporally with respect to an external timing reference. The result of this operation is QT edit compatible content in an MOV file container that is playback on any system having iMovie '07/'08/'11 installed. That is why I always recommend using this work flow for content still located on the camcorder.
3) The QT 10.1 MPEG-2/AC3 GOP support appears to be built into the app or only accessible using the app and not available for use by either QT 7 or iMovie applications. This content is not QT edit compatible at the frame level (i.e., the manner in which all Apple video editors work).
4) In the case where the "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content has already been removed from the camcoder and you can no longer "import" the content as per option 2 above, purchase of the QT MPEG-2 Playback component and use of the MPEG Streamclip app provides, in my opinion, the greatest degree of secondary functionality. In this case you have the option of demultiplexing the original content to M2V and AC3 content or paired M2V and AIFF elementary stream files or conversion of the content to any QT editit compatible audio and video compression combination including "Pro" editing codecs if FCP is installed on your system.
5) With regard to the installation of the QT MPEG-2 Playback component, you have three options:
a) You can install the component on a pre-Lion system and then copy it to your Lion system.
b) You can download the MPEG Streamclip "beta" package and us the "helper" software to install the component directly on the Lion operating system.
c) You can us an app like Pacifist to extract/install the component directly to the Lion OS platform.
In any event, remember that this component is not supported by the QT 10.1 app nor is AC3 natively supported by the QT 7 app and so you will have to use the MPEG Streamclip app to both make use of this component and provide app support of the AC3 audio which can then be "bridged" for use by QT 7 based apps.
All this being said, when I decided for the first time to just open my video in QT 10.1 (which is a .mpg file) it wouldn't open and the error said that a required codec wasn't available. The file is .mpg and info states it is a mpeg-2 video, AC3. I have VLC installed and can view the video with that, but am just frustrated as to why QT 10.1 won't play it (as I believe it should, since the file is a .mpg).
As I have repeatedly stated, I consider QT 10.1 "a work in progress" and have given up trying to guess why it works in some cases and not in others. In some cases, files sent to me having the problem you describe suddenly became playable in QT 10.1 after using VLC to copy the data from the original file container to a new program stream file container (i.e., not conversion was applied—just the copy of the original data). You can try this for playback purposes but it will do nothing for your editing work flow unless you plan to us QT 10.1 to convert the content to H.264/AAC for editing in which case HandBrake or MPEG Streamclip (with QT MPEG-2 Playback component) would probabaly work on the original file. (I.e., I prefer using a low-compression, high data rate compression format at highest video quality setting as an "intermediate" editing format to preserve as much of the original quality as possible.)
One thing I also noticed, there is no QT file in my library (I didn't move, delete or change anything, just looked to see if I could find the file as mentioned on another forum, but it wasn't there). Not sure if this has a connection as to whether the .mpg file can be played with QT 10.1 or not.
If you are referring to an MOV file created by importing the content directly from the camcorder, then it will be located in your iMovie "Event" folder, the location of which will depend on which drive you assigned it to. Such a file sould already be both playback and editable in QT applications.
Any other input would be much appreciated. Am I missing something from my QT 10.1 that should have been installed?
I believe that covers just about everything. Since QT 10.1 is the original version installed by the Lion OS installer, there have not been any updates to it and, unless you have been messing around deleting things in your QT component folders, there is little probability that anything has been deleted, removed, or misplaced during normal system use. What I normally recommed is that you keep QT 10.1 installed and install the Lion compatible version of QT 7 (v7.6.6 if not already installed) to maximize your QT playback capabilities between the two. In fact, I tend to use the QT 7 "Pro" player for most daily "quickie" edits and still consider it the more useful of the two utility-Players.

Import MTS video from Canon Vixia HF200 to iMovie

I am a recent convert from Windows to Mac. I was surprised to find out that my old MPG video taken over the years, and recent high definition video taken with a reasonably new Canon movie camera in MTS format, could not be easily imported into iMovie on my MacBook Pro, something that was quite easy on my Windows 7 computer. iMovie could not read the files. I purchased the new MacBook due to its capability to produce, among other things, superior movies for family use, You Tube, and similar. I bought the Canon HF200 as it recorded to a SDHC disk that made it easy, at least on my Windows computer, to transfer unedited files to my external hard drive storage system, then edit as necessary on any of the commonly available movie rendering software programs. After some internet research on the problem, and not wanting to give up on my Mac so soon, I solved the dilemma by purchasing a software package called iSkysoft Video Converter which made the conversion from MTS as well as my older MPG and all other video formats that I had, virtually seamless. In doing further research, it appears that I can convert my MTS video to either MP4 (M4V) or MOV without any degration that I could notice. I understand that there are other software packages that also convert video in a similar manner. My criticism is that with Apple's very good reputation as an excellent computer to be used for video and other media production, why is it necessary to perform this added step. While I was able to make a good conversion, the process just adds extra files and extra time to taking a movie, then producing a video.

AVI File Captured in Premiere Elements 8 Only Plays First Few Minutes

Hello folks,
I'm totally new to this. My problem: I've recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and used it to capture some mini DV video tapes (via firewire), without any significant problems (other than a few freezes). Now I've tried to capture some VHSC tapes via my TV card (Avermedia H727). The capture process went well (except that the preview screen was just a fuzzy mess!) but I had to plug the audio inputs into my sound card (onboard) rather than the TV card.
The caputred files are about 6 + Gb for a 30 minute tape but when playing the captured video back in PrE8 only the first few minutes is available (the length of playback seems to vary unpredictably (1 tape allowed 3 minutes of playback, another a bit less).   The full avi files can be played back in Roxio or Windows Media Player etc but not PrE8.
Interestingly, videos captured from VHSC via the same TV card in Roxio 2010 Pro will play back correctly and fully in PrE8.   I had to switch audio inputs to the TV card (rather than the soundcard) for the audio to be captured with Roxio.
My son has tried to help me with this (having some experience on PrE2) but he's also drawn a blank with this.
I'd be very grateful for any help that you might be able to give as I've not found anything in FAQ although it's not easy to succintly define my search for this problem.
Many thanks

Graphics     ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series

Thanks John:
My PC has 2 HDDs and both are of the “green” variety. Both are partitioned (2 partitions on each HDD) with operating systems on the first partition (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on one and Windows XP Pro -32 bit on the other, the operating systems are on different physical drives).
The tips relating to PrPro are hard to follow as they are quite technical and I’m not even sure which ones also relate to PrE8.   It would take me an age to try to wade through this lot.
My point is that my current setup (for all its imperfections) will capture video (via the TV card) using PrE8 as the capture software. The setup must be adequate for this task as the complete avi file is played back correctly on Roxio and Windows Media Player but PrE8 fails to recognise any video after the first 3 minutes (approx).
If I capture to PrE8 using a firewire connection from my mini DV video camera then the capture proceeds normally (apart from odd freezes) and the captured video is all playable in PrE8.
When capturing using the mini DV camera, I select "DV camcorder" in the “Get Media” menu. However, this only supports Firewire or USB sources.   When capturing from the VHSC tapes via the TV card I have to select “Webcam or WDM Device” as the media source (I’m not convinced that this is the most suitable capture mode but it’s the only one I can find that doesn’t look for either a firewire or USB device.
It seems as though PrE8 must be putting some code onto the captured video that prevents more of it from playing back because avi files recorded on Roxio will playback fully.   I've tried to copy the PrE8 avi files into a different folder (devoid of any PrE8 project files) and then renaming the file before importing into PrE8 but still only the first few minutes will play.   My thinking here was that perhaps one of the other associated project files that PrE8 creates might be the source of the corrupt info.
Many thanks for your interest and taking the trouble to respond.

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?
I am new to Premiere having just downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday, I jumped straight in and imported all of my files from my video camera however in Premiere only the audio plays back with the displays just showing a black space.
Out of curiosity I dragged three or four shots into the sequence editor and then exported them and played this through VLC and the video was there?
As I said I am completely new to Premiere having only spent around 3 or 4 hours with it in the past, I read a few forum threads around similar issues but couldn't find any solutions and as I am trying to edit together a short film for a college project due in soon I need to try and find a way to fix this A.S.A.P
Any help would be appreciated and if theres any more info I can provide please let me know.

The boxed packaging is not sold by Adobe direct. If you want to explore that type of purchase which offers the perk of a Windows and a Mac installation disc, you need to purchase from an authorized reseller who is not going to offer you "upgraded pricing". The seller would be its own entity with its own pricing and own return/refund policy. Sometimes the authorized reseller price may be less than the Adobe"upgraded pricing".
Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 13 Mac from Adobe direct and are within 30 days of purchase? If so, you can contact Adobe Chat Orders to ask for return/refund. And, then you can explore the authorized resellers for pricing and availability of the box packaging. Maybe check out the pricing all around before making any final decisions.
Please review and consider.

LR 5.4 Can't Play or Import Video in OSX Mavericks

I copied several MP4 video files from the Lumix LX7 card to a folder on an external hard drive. However I can't import them into LR 5.4. Furthermore, I now see that LR can't play any video files (all MP4) that are in the catalog. The playbar doesn't even show up.
This problem came up when I upgraded to OS X Mavericks and upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5. So I'm not sure what's causing the issue. Was able to import and play videos before, but they played kind of choppy earlier.
I've since removed all Quicktime plugins (Perian). Made sure I'm using the most recent version of Quicktime (10.3). Repaired permissions and restarted. Still can't play or import video.
I've also reinstalled LR 5.4 and wiped preferences files. Earlier I couldn't import photos & videos, but I paritially fixed that when I removed the video files from the import folder. I was able to get all the images in fine then. The video seems to be the hangup.
In catalog: no video preview image, just grey, no playbar.
In import: generic "camera" preview image, says "Could Not Read Preview"
Any idea what I can do to get LR to play and import videos, or fix the issue?

Incidentally, the videos playback without a hitch in Quicktime. When I right-click on any of the catalog videos and select "Show In Finder," the MP4 plays perfectly in Quicktime.
It just won't play within LR 5.4.

Adobe Premieres Elements 10, problème d'importation

I suspect that your JVC is recording .mod widescreen. And, this is the classical story of the file's 16:9 flag missing or not recognized by Premiere Elements (any version).
Set your Premiere Elements 10 project preset in the new project dialog to PAL DV Widescreen and import your .mod widescreen into the project using Premiere Elements 10 Get Media/Files and Folders. In Project Media, right click the thumbnail of the file, select Interpret Footage. In the Interpret Footage dialog, go to the Pixel Aspect Ratio section and dot the Conform to: Then change the Conform to field to
DV/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.4587).
If there are any black borders in the Edit area monitor image after that, click on the monitor to bring up the image's bounding box. Then drag on a bounding box handle to scale the video image to just fit the space in the monitor to no black edges.
The 16:9 flag issue is one part of the JVC .mod matters. If you have problems importing the file, rename the .mod file extension to .mpg before import into Premiere Elements.
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Can I send Edited Photos and Video from Lightroom 5 to Premiere 11?

I am new to Lightroom 5 and love the product. Can I export edited Photos and Video from Lightroom to Premiere Elements 11? I need more flexibility than Lightroom offfers. I want to mix Photos then Videos with different music files and create a DVD. Thank You...Rory...

Also, can I load the Lightroom itself onto an external hard drive and keep all my images off my laptop? If I edit them, do the edits remain on my laptop regardless of where the originals reside. I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture: edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
Your photos can be on any hard disk, internal or external or network. If they are stored on an external hard disk, then when you import them into Lightroom, you select the ADD option and the photo will remain on your external hard disk. The edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog (as opposed to "remain on my laptop"). Once you import photos into Lightroom, you no longer want to manage them (move, copy, delete) using your operating system. You do all photo management in Lightroom.
If you transfer the photos properly, your edits, cropping, metadata, etc. will transfer to Lightroom, but I will leave the details to some expert on Aperture.
If I could offer some advice, I don't think you want to just transfer SOME of your photos to Lightroom. In my opinion, you want ALL of your photos managed by Lightroom, and not some in application 1 and some in application 2. This makes your life much easier when trying to find your photos, you don't have to think "Is this photo in Lightroom or is this in Aperture?" (Note: this doesn't mean you have to import all the photos from Aperture into Lightroom in one HUGE operation; you can certainly do the importing in manageable sized groups)

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).

You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
