Add media Failure

I keep receiving an add media failure error message ... the importer reported a generic error. I am trying to import from itunes. Please help!!!

There won't be since you are in PRE Editor. The option I mentioned is in Organizer. If your import is failing in PRE, you will get the best advise on http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12: Add Media Failure: The Importer Reported a Generic Error

I am trying to add a MOV file to PE 12 I and keep recieving and Add Media Failure Error stating "The Importer Reported a Generic Error". I have added other MOV files without any issue so I don't know why some MOV will work and others won't. The only common characteristic I've found is that the MOV files that won't work are files that were recorded with my SLR camera. The location of the files I've added/tried adding are on my external hard drive.

Try importing a few of the problematic files from a Local Disc C location like Videos and determine if problem presists. How is the external hard drive formatted, NTFS or FAT32?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is Premiere Elements 12 running? Are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 12 as Run As Administrator and/or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
What specifically is the video compression for the problematic files? And, what is the brand/model/settings for the camera that is recording these videos?
More later.

How handle Add Media Failure Error: File Video Dimensions (Width/Height) Too Large?

I am a brand new user of Premiere Elements. I am using it for stop gap animation, bringing in digital still photos from my Nikon D3200. I just attempted to bring in the first set of photos from the SD card. I'm running Windows 7. After loading the photos, an "Add Media Failure" box came up with the message "Error: File Video Dimensions (width/height) too large". Is something wrong with the width and height of the photos and if so what do I need to do to make it work? There were 763 photos, but the message seems to refer to the height/width of each photo and not the total file size so to speak - right? During the import process, the program prompted us to bring the photos in as images and not as videos -- so that is what we selected. Thank you for any assistance.

How do I add music from itunes to my project without getting an "add media failure" message?

Hi,

Any help is greatly appreciated!

How can I add media from an external hard drive into Premiere Elements? Please answer.

Alright, so I have looked all over the website and the way adobe's frequently asked questions about adding media did nothing for me. I am editing a large full length video in premiere elements 13 and so I would like to add media from my external hard drive and edit from that location. Is that possible? Because I do not have enough space on my laptop to keep hundreds and hundreds of GB of videos on my internal hard drive. I have looked on how to add media from the hard drive location and adobe says to add it using the files and folders tab, but when I select it to add it, it says I need to use the Video Importer. So I go to use the video importer and have no way of figuring out how to select my hard drive. Any ideas?

Thank you for the follow up with the information
it is a MacBook pro retina . OS X Operating system. External hard drive is connected by the USB cable. fat32.
It is my understanding, whether you have Premiere Elements on Windows or Mac, if you have files on an external hard drive, you do not select
Add Media and head for a choice that includes Video Importer. Instead, you select Add Media/Files and Folders and navigate to the external hard drive to select your file(s) for import into the project.
But, you seem to be saying that when you do you are met with a message to use the Video Importer. Does the message give you any other related information on why you are being detoured to Video Importer since Video Importer does not import from an external hard drive for me or you. It does for me using Add Media to get the files from my external hard drive into a project. I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so my Mac information is from what I have read. Based on that...
1. Please evaluate the format of your external hard drive. Please review the following if you have not considered this point before.
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-an-external-hard-drive-for-use-with-os-x/
There are many online articles on this matter which would point you away from Fat32 as the format for a external hard drive Mac.
2. From what you wrote, you are not dealing with a DVD drive so I see no way to implicate one of them in this issue. You are dealing with an
USB external hard drive and not a USB external DVD/CD drive. Correct?
Please review and consider.
We will be watch for further news from you.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 12 - Add media webcam "no device control"

Hi, I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and I am trying to record live using Logitech C920 Webcam. Whenever I try to "add media", even though it recognizes both image and audio devices in the webcam, it shows "no device control" and the screen is black. How can I solve this situation? Thank you.

Just some thoughts....
Premiere Elements 12 assumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Add Media
Webcam or WDM
In the Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, there are 2 tiny arrows pointing right at the top right of the Capture Window. You can access
Capture Settings and Device Control there.
Click on Capture Settings to bring up the Project Settings dialog. Click on Capture in the left column in the Project Settings dialog..
In the Project Settings dialog, you should see "Capture Format: WDM Capture" and to the right of that a Settings tab.
Click on that Settings tab to bring up the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog.
In the WDM Capture Preview Settings dialog, assure that you have check mark for
During Preview
Preview Video on Desktop
Preview Audio on Desktop
During Capture
Preview Video on Desktop
Preview Audio on Desktop
Also, if you go to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Device Control, what choices do you have
and which one is selected?
We will be looking for your results. I have seen a video tutorial on Premiere Elements 12 working with the webcam that you appear
to be using and all seems to be working.

ORA-01242: data file suffered media failure: database in NOARCHIVELOG mode

Hi All,
Need help from the gurus.
Currently we are in state unable to do anything.
Was using a database and all of a sudden it crashed. Tried to mount the database, open it, it failed. Also tried the recover and alter database open, even that failed. Errors are as follows.

In my spfile, the administrator has set only two control files and there is no mirroring and hence do not have another control file that will help me boot the db.
Please let me know how I should go about it. I am only a timebeing person trying to carryout a db activity. Any help would be of great help.

Hemant,
thanks for the reply.
I tried the way you suggested and it threw an error.
ORA-01145: offline immediate disallowed unless media recovery enabled
I searched and found that an additional tag of drop needs to be added to the command which you suggested.
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '<filename>' OFFLINE DROP.
i don't know what will the drop command have an effect ?
i have copied the data file to another location. Since i don't know much, i just want to be sure of what im doing.
if the above command is successfull, will it drop the datafile or the tablespace and i can no more use it. How can i use the copied datafile.
Thanks,

Media failure in Noarchivelog mode

Dear all,
I am running Oracle database 10g in noarchivelog mode.
It has a media failure, a datafile has corrupted. How can i recovery it suppose i dont have the latest backup?
Thanks and regards,
Steve

Hi,
since you don't have a backup, and you have a media failure, you cannot recover.
You can set the tablespace/datafile in question offline, and work with whatever is left in the remaining datafiles. (i.e. export/import elsewhere)
if the file is just corrupted, and not lost,
you may be able to get some of the data back using oracles data unloader, but that is going to be expensive (i.e. you would need to engage oracle consulting to do it for you)
i strongly recommend you get familiar with the rman tool next time around, this is quite capable of performing backup and recovery.

Add Media Error

i am extremely new to the adobe premiere elements 7 program and i have been having some trouble using it. i am a high school football player and i am trying to take game films from our season and edit them to create a highlight film to send to colleges. I have been trying to import the games off DVDs copied by my coach. The DVD files are .VOB and from what i understand this is a supported format for this program. However, whenever i go to add the media, the files load and then the adding media window comes up but an error message comes up. This error window reads something to the extent of " add media error...The file type is either not supported or the prgram is missing a codec..." I know that the file type is supported so i figure that there is a missing codec. The weird thing is that occasionally after a few minutes, one of the files from the dvd will show up in the organize window. Only one file, not all of them (there are two files on each DVD, the first and second half of the game)will show up for SOME games. Can anyone give me insight into why i keep receiving this error or how i can fix the missing codec problem, if thats even the problem at all?

If one of those VOBs is VIDEO_TS.VOB, then that isn't anything you can use, and you'll get that error message. Menus have 0 at the end of the filename, VTS_01_0.VOB, and will import but they aren't anything you can really use.
Many people have problems working with files from DVDs, especially with audio being out of sync, and the recommendation is to convert the usable vobs to DV-AVI first:

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

How to Add Media to a Custom Frame That Preserves to Interactive PDF

What I'm doing/trying to do:
I have a custom object that I want to use as a frame in which the video would be placed. The object is a somewhat rectangular frame that I've custom made to fit over a portion of my background image.
Adobe InDesign interactive pdf exports don't play any html embed codings I add (even after making sure the http:// is present) nor does the InDesign accept any of the video from URL links I put in from YouTube or Vimeo using the Add Media function. Therefore I tried using the actual media file and uploading it to my Adobe Indesign file. However, the video won't play or appear in my custom frame when I export it, but the video file will play when I plop it in without a frame. Before exporting I get the message: :
So:
A) What urls will Adobe Indesign ACTUALLY accept since all the ones I've used so far don't work?
B) How do I add a video file to a custom frame that fits appropriately into the frame?
C) How do I get URL based media to work in interactive pdfs?
D) If I can't do what I'm trying to do as an interactive pdf what file should I be saving it as so that I can make it work?
I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

I have never yet heard of anyone who has successfully played a YouTube or Vimeo streaming video from an interactive PDF. You could search for some kind of a third party utility that claims to convert that to a video format. You should aim to create an MP4 file, preferably with H.264 encoding. I've also never read the description of someone who has done such a conversion, though it is theoretically possible.
You will be unsuccessful in masking a video to play in a non-rectangular frame because in a PDF, the interactivity also is display above anything else on the page.

"Add media queries" button disabled

Hi,
I've downloaded the pack and everything else seems to work fine, but when I enter in the multiscreen preview window, the add media queries button is disabled (the viewport sizes is active) and I can't find any other way to bring up the menu for the css selection based on screen width.
Am I missing something? Or is there some incompatibility when using the pack in English while having the main software in Spanish?
Thanks.

The HTML5 Pack should work fine with the Spanish version of DW. What OS are you using? What language is your OS (English, Spanish)?
There is a known issue where the Add Media Queries button is sometimes disabled if you are in Live View and the URL in the Browser Navigation toolbar Address field starts with "http://". If you close the file and then re-open it a few times, the Add Media Queries button should eventually become enabled. It's kind of a random problem.
Please let us know if this helps or not to enable the Add Media Queries button.
Thanks,

"Add Media Error" - Premier Elements 7

Question for everyone.
My laptop (with P.E. 8) is in the shop so I am using my P.E. 7 edition on my home computer to create a simple project. After attempting to add a four media clip (by the way, all 4 clips are very small, short), I am getting this error pop-up:
"Add Media Error - There is not enough memory to add the requested media."
Now, I can tell you that on my computer, 90% of my work is sitting in an external, 2 terabyte hard drive. I have over 200 Gigs of free space on my home computer. This new, short project is the one of the only projects currently sitting on my desktop. There is no way that I am out of memory.
Currently, while typing this question on this forum, I'm defragmenting my hard drive and doing a disk clean up. Perhaps my settings are off?

Yes Aman.. This happened after cloning in apps.
However, issue got resolved.
Data files were zipped using tar- cvzf ...
I could successfully complete the cloning when backup is taken with "tar cvf" (with out including z)
So, learnt that datafiles should not be zipped when tar.
But datafiles can be zipped using gzip after " tar cvf " is completed.
Am i right ?
