Adding a .MOV / Quicktime file to Premiere CS4

Hi and apologies if this has been addressed before (I have had a look through...)
I am trying to import a .MOV file but only get audio not video. Have tested this on a Quicktime player and it's OK...
Can you help PLEASE...
Thank you
Phil

What codec is used in the .mov file? QT Player's Movie Inspector window should tell you.

Contour HD1080 Files Jerky Premiere CS4

My system is a Dell m1330, core 2 duo 2.4GH, 4 gigs ram, Vista 32bit
Ok I am a bit new to these new file formats. I am trying to edit some footage from my Contour HD 1080 on Premiere CS4 and it plays really jerky and freezes at points. I do not have any of those POS codec packs installed. the only thing I have installed is Coreavc Pro. Coreavc was the only way I could get the files to play correctly in Media Player Classic (which plays them just fine now so I know its not a hardware speed thing). I tried to install Quicktime and that was not even able to play the Contour MOV files correctly, because of this I removed Quicktime from my computer. I have tried to rename them to MP4 and use them in Premiere and it has the same effect.
Has anyone out there been able to play and edit these Cont HD MOV files with Premiere CS4. I would love to hear of a workflow so I can stop wasting time and get down to business.I would like to avoid installing Quicktime on my system if I can, I would love to be able to use CoreAVC with premiere (becuase it seems like the only thing that works with these ridiculous files), and I don't wont to have to convert hours of footage before it will work in Premiere if I have to.
This is what Premiere says the file is:

How can i open .mts files in premiere cs4?

Hi all,
I am using premiere cs4.
when i import .mts file in cs4 it says file format is not supported.
could any one please tell me how can i open .mts file in premiere cs4.
Thanks
Murali.

What kind of audio did the camera record? For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4. If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected. This thread may help:

Final Cut Express HD won't recognize .mov / quicktime files.

I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch with FCE3 installed. I'm using OSX 10.6.6. My camera doesn't put video out through a firewire, only usb, meaning FCE can't recognize it (to the best of my knowledge). So, to get around that, I uploaded the video through iLife '11 and converted all my video into one long .mov/quicktime file. When I try to import the video, I get a "file error" message.
Any tips on how I can get the video form iMovie to FCE? If it means not using quicktime, I'm fine with that, too.
Thanks!

Well, to repsond to Ian, I don't have FCE4. I have FCE3. I'll upgrade eventually, though.
And I have a Cannon FS20. I did what you said in the quicktime player. Here's the format:
"H.264, 960 x 540, Millions Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 44100 Hz."
The video plays fine in iMovie '11. I even tried the "share with Final Cut" tab in iMovie, but the video still wouldn't work in FCE3.
But I might add that it's not just the video from my camera that doesn't work in FCE3. It's all quicktime video. Even video that worked in FCE3 on my old Powerbook G4 now don't work in the same in FCE3 for my MacBook Pro.

Premiere CS4 playback .mov (quicktime file) in Mac

Hi,
I recently acquired CS4 and the latest loaded Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz. I have problem with playing back .mov file - which obvisouly main NLE format for Mac. I've been testing with 15 seconds 1920 x 1080 clip - size about 150 MB which I transcoded from AVCHD via Cineform/TMPGEnc (PC)/VoltaicHD. Regardless of any transcoders I use, when I playback the file in the Source window, video is stuttered and very choppy. Rendering certainly helps that I can play nicely in the timeline but the major problem is that I cannot work with multi-cam monitor on. With only two .mov clips on multi-cam, it is way too stuttered and choppy that there's no way I can work with. HDV footages captures directly from my Z5U works flawless even with editing mult-cam monitor - which obviously not .mov file. I even tested the same clip transcoded into .avi and it plays back nicely with multi-camera monitor on my old PC (Core2 2.0 GHz) running Premiere Pro 2.0. Thought it is Premiere Memory Management issue dealing with quicktime file (.mov).
Does anyone has the same issue working with .mov file for editing multi-cam? I'm so stressed out for the last few days - I want to go back to FCP instead. Thanks!
Jun

Dan,
Forget about using CS4 for multicam HDV streaming. I decided to go
back FCP 6. I tried all the intermediate codec with various file sizes
for playing back multicam stream in CS4 but none of them working.
Either playing back is very choppy stuttered or doesn't play back at
all. CS4 is not the right program for Mac. Funny thing is it works
flawlessly on PC which is less powered than my Macbook Pro. They
shoudnt release it for Mac. Sorry I couldnt help you much. Please let
me know if you find a solution for this. Good luck.

Problems With Camptasia AVI File in Premiere CS4

Hi everyone,
I need help with the creating a video in Premiere CS4 using some Camptasia AVI files. I have used Camptasia to include a voice-over into a presentation and then saved it as an AVI file. I was able to include that AVI file into my Project in CS4 and edit it there adding to video files transferred from the camera. The problem came up when I tried to export the CS Project as an AVI or FLV file. It does not save the entire video but rather saves only the first couple of minutes of it. Can someone recommend me what to do?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Bahar

The problem is in the file itself. You set up your project in premiere at 30fps and imported file from camtasia studio does not have that frame rate. Camtasia does not have a good and fast enough codeck that would record 30fps. So premiere will try to recompress your file to proper structure with 30fps thus will give you the output of a very short file.
Camtasia have another software that is designed to capture needed frame rate but it is available only to the big companies.
I have tried this soft and ran into this problem and camtasia replied to me whit statement that this soft is not designed to capture full frame rate video.

Grainy Output When Outputting h.264 into QuickTime File in Premiere Elements 12

I have a video project that I need to output into a QuickTime file. I would like to use the h.254 codec in the file, because that would make it the most versatile for all of the places I will be using the video. However, when I use Share > Computer > QuickTime > Advanced... and use these settings:
Codec: H.264
Quality: 100%
Frame Size: 1080x1920
Frame Rate: 29.9 fps
Field Order: None (Progressive)
No bitrate limit
Audio Codec: AAC
Sample Rate: 48000 khz
Bit depth: 16-bit
I wind up with a terribly grainy and muted-color video. I have used these same settings in Share > Computer > AVCHD and end up with a great video. Is there anything I can do to output the nice quality into .mov?

Cannot import .mov video files into Premiere Pro CS4

Hi Everyone,
I have Premiere Pro CS4 and cannot import .mov files into my project. When I try Premiere freezes up and has to be closed. I'm running Windows 7 and have a Gateway DX4300-11 with a Quad-Core AMD processor with 8 Gigs of ram although the Adobe CS4 programs only seem to recognize 4 Gigs at startup. How do I get Premiere to import .mov files?
TR

What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
Good luck,
Hunt

ITunes won't play .mov QuickTime files anymore

My hard drive crashed two weeks ago and it has been replaced and almost all of the information was salvaged--thank god!
However, now in iTunes when I go to play a movie that previously played in iTunes, it says that the file requires QuickTime and that it is not supported by this version of iTunes.
I have over 9,000 movies in my iTunes MOVIES section that are of various formats (none are flv or avi, as I don't think iTunes has ever played those). I've never had trouble playing mov, mp4, m4v, mpg files before. Is this likely a problem with my reinstall of iTunes or is it that the latest version of iTunes has limited parameters than prior versions?
Thanks for any imput. I'd really like to be able to play all of my movies in iTunes like I could before.
Chad

I'm sorry that I have no solution to offer, but I also have noticed that several video files with the .mov extension that used to play just fine will no longer play in either the current QuickTime Player or in the older QT Pro Player 7. I have no idea what changed.

Dreamweaver CC and .mov Quicktime files - Help Please

I have a Mac and use Final Cut Pro with Compressor 4.1 to generate movies. The final format is a .mov file. Is this file type compatible with DW CC? If so, how do I insert it into the DW CC file or should I be using a different video file format?

.mov won't work unless your target audience has QuickTime player & required QT plugins.
For best cross browser results, use HTML5 <video> with these 3 file types:
.mp4 or m4V for web
.ogg
.webm

Cannot Open .MOV Quicktime Files From Drive

Greetings All!
Can anyone tell me why I cannot open files from my secondary hard drive?
I have two hard drives in my computer both are internal, one is 160Gb used for XP and other programs and the other is 250Gb used as a mass storage device for misic, pictures, video etc. However when I try to open any of the QT files that my digital camera creates I receive the following message:
Couldn't open the file "138810" because an unknown error occurred. The
number of the error is: -8971
My operating system is Widows XP MCE
Computer: Compaq Presario Desktop SR1950NX
RAM Memory: `1Gb
Hard Drive 1: 160Gb
Hard Drive 2: 250Gb
QT Version 6.5.2
If you need any other information please dont hesitate to ask!
Elaine Beauxrauxgard-Weiderhoff

I've had a problem in the past with opening .mov files from a second hard drive which was caused by the drive being named in a way QT could not recognize it. The drive was named (F:\F:\) when changing the drive letter to a single(F:\). QT was then able to recognize and play. But that was generating a, error 43 file could not be found. So you might still want to check how the drives are named.
I read that error 8971 can be a need to update QT,but don't know how accurate the info is. If you do update from QT6 to QT7 and are using QT Pro you'll have to purchase a new key

Import MPG files in Premiere CS4. Mac Os X 10.6.

I installed the latest update Adobe Premiere (4.1). When I try to import MPG files Premiere shows error: "File video dimensions (width / height) too large". After that, such a message is issued when importing any video at all, until the closing of the program. Sometimes after the error the program hangs on exit and has to kill the process manually. Can I somehow fix the problem?
Thank you!

By using material suitable for editing. PR likes MS DV AVI type2 with PCM/WAV audio at 48 KHz, stereo. If you don't have that material, convert first. Use Google to find converters.

Can't edit .mov files in Premiere!

Ok I am running adobe premiere pro cs4 version 4.2.1.
The media files were originally filmed via a canon legria fs2000 which used the .MOD file format. These don't play on adobe premiere and I had issues using them on final cut. I used imovie pro to export the media which saved the files as .mov quicktime files which SHOULD be readable on my pc with adobe premiere... yet they are not.
Quicktime won't play the .mov files, nor will sony vegas on pc.
Here is the g-spot info:
So help would be much appreciated... I also went System > List codecs and other filters > and in the list many adobe codecs were highlighted red, I right clicked for information and they said the file was missing, although i went to the file location and they were there.
Do I need to download codecs... Where? How? Please help this is urgent for uni projects

If you exported the files from iMovie, you more than likely used the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC), for which there is no decoder component on Windows. Short story: these files will never playback on a PC. Either work with the original MOD files (search around here, there are suggestions of how to do so) or re-export from iMovie and be sure to use a different codec, like DV or MJPEG. Those should playback just fine on the PC.
