AI files not importing into Premiere in appropriate aspect ratio

I'm having trouble importing Illustrator CS5 files that are "made" with a video preset into Premiere. I'm building "lower thirds" out of a client graphic. I then save them as AI CS5 files. When I import them into Premiere, they aren't imported as an entire frame of material, but rather just the text itself. I then have to resize the material and change the X and Y locations, respectively.
Is there a way to create, save, and import Illustrator files properly so all I have to do is drop them into the timeline?

If you're making a lower third and you've set your artboard width in Illustrator, you'd think that it should import at that dimension, but it doesn't always work that way. the bounding box of an imported AI file, because the background is null, will fit the actual graphic instead of the artboard size. So if you set the width of the artboard to 1280 pixels and the graphic is only 1200 pixles wide, then it will import at 1200 pixels wide and it won't fill the full width of the video screen. It's not a big deal to adjust the width in Premiere, but if you want it to fit just right, or a tick over, be sure your graphic is at least as wide as the formatted screen, it not a few pixels over so it bleeds off the screen.

AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
*+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.

WMV audio not importing into Premiere Pro CS5.5/CS6

I have two Win7 machines running CS5.5 and CS6 respectively. Prem Pro imports and edits the video sequence of a batch of wmv files recently referred to me for processing but does not show the audio at all. The files play perfectly in Windows media player. I presume there is a codec somewhere on my machines that wmplayer is using but how can I get Prem Pro to use it??? I don't usually use WMV but I have found some other wmv files which import nomally i.e. sound track included. Loading the files into Handbrake lists the audio for the successfully imported files as Source: English (wmav2) (2.0 ch) Codec: AAC (faac) Bitrate: 160. The files that Prem Pro does not import the sound for, list identically except that the source is shown as Unknown rather than English. All other details (wmav2 etc exactly the same.
Thanks

OMF Files not Importing into Logic 7.2.3

Can anyone help me with this ongoing problem ? I'm writing music for a film where my editor is using the latest version of Final Cut Pro 5.1.2, I'm running Logic 7.2.3 on OSX 10.4.8 she exports the OMF Files....but I can't import them on my system. The files are imported without any problems at the mixers studio, but he uses Pro Tools.
Any Ideas ???

logic's import and export is very unreliable. actually it is something that i think is quite disgraceful. that said:
- are you sure that you have a self-contained OMF file in version 2 format? not a referenced OMF? you can tell because the OMF file will be large if it has the audio content embedded or small if it does not.
- most OMF problems are problems that come from the originator. for example, you can get problems if the audio is at different sample rates.
- try to get everyone to work with AAF files which are more reliable and do the same job.
- logic doesn't support different sample rates at the same time, unlike many video editing programmes. the audio should be consolidated before exporting and video references removed.
i hope this helps. this really is an area of weakness within logic. please post back with how you get on.

XDCam Video not importing into Premiere (Only the accompanying Audio). Assistance Requested

Working on Premiere CS6. Mac OSX 10.9.5

Thanks Kevin,
I'm not sure if you can see my question, but I'm working in CS6 (not CC). I can import audio off .mxf files but the video won't accompany it. I've attempted conversions in various software & the result is the same. I get audio only, and no video--but I can see still images of the video periodically.)
So, if you have an solution for that specific problem, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,

Files not importing into Shake

We switched over to Open Directory and I've been having issues bringing shots into Shake. When some users make files I can't import them at all into Shake. I try changing the permissions but it still doesn't work. Files appear as green nodes then turn yellow or red.
Anybody experiencing this?

Unfortunately that did not work. Some of the video files did not have the ".mov" extension so I added them, yet that did not improve my situation.
I can't figure it out. I can open the files everywhere else. I can open the video files in Final Cut Pro, the stills in Photoshop. I tried re-exporting the files as new files with different names but nothing is working.
These files are cursed somehow. So strange.

Sony WX7 .mts video files not imported into iPhoto 11

Apple indicates iLife ’11 supports AVCHD (.mts) files, however, I've been unable to get iPhoto 11 to import video files from the Sony WX7 camera. Photo's are imported properly via both usb and directly from the SD card reader in my Macbook Pro (i7) 2011, however, video files are not. I've read that iMovie '08 supports Sony AVCHD 2011-model video cameras, but iPhoto 11 appears not to.
Mac OS X v10.6.7, is fully up to date. Has anybody found a solution?

Not sure where you are seeing that AVCHD is supported in iPhoto '11 but it is not - use iMovie to import your AVCHD movies - that works for my my Sony DSC-HX5

Nikon D3300 NEF files not importing into iPhoto with Yosemite. Videos import, photos come in black

I'm having issues importing NEF (Raw) photos since I upgraded to Yosemite. I also updated iPhoto to the most current version. The videos will import, but the photos are coming in black. I can see them in the Nikon photo viewer on the Mac with no issues.

There are a series of posts on the forum right now detailing issues with Raw support. By no means all folks have them - I don't for instance - but many seem to.
Try the fix in this thread
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
which basically trashes the Raw support and reinstalls it on your Mac.
As always, back up first,

Blender 10 bit DPX Files not importing into AE CC

Hi all! Back in After Effects CS6 I was able to import DPX files generated from Blender. They were 10bit RGB files like this one:
Dropbox - 0001.dpx
I recently upgraded to AE CC (no plugins installed) and I am getting After Effects error: The file header version is invalid. ( 0 :: 8 )
Please note the only change has been upgrading to CC. These files were generated in Blender 2.68 and worked fine in CS6, but not in CC.
On Mac OSX 10.9.5 with a GTX 680 and 20 GB of RAM. Any help would be appreciated

I looked at this file with DPX Plus in Photoshop and found that the header version is listed as "v2.0" instead of the standard "V2.0", note the uppercase. It's true, earlier versions of AE weren't bothered by this. I'll file a bug.
In the meantime, you could use DPX Plus for AE to read it, because it'll ignore the version in the header.

ALAC files not importing into iTunes

I'm using the latest 12.0.1.26 iTunes on a Dell Studio XPS (with an intel i7 processor and 2 TB SSD drive), which I use to run three Apple Airports dotted around the house and am having a problem playing ALAC files which I've converted from FLAC files bought from HighResAudio.com.
They play ok with VLC but when I try to add the folder or file into iTunes nothing seems to happen, or if I select 'play with' and pick iTunes, then iTunes starts up ok but the file doesn't appear or play at all.
I've just started re-recording my cd collection in ALAC format which all play fine when recorded directly into iTunes.
The problem is with these high resolution files (Mike Oldfield's new Man On The Rocks album) which I bought to try the supposedly 'better than cd/studio' quality sound which were only available as FLAC files. I then converted these with 'free studio audio converter' and as I said, the converted files play fine on VLC.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Video Files not importing into iTunes Library.

I have been converting my movie file into mp4 format so i can use them on my iPod video. I converted all of the files and then added their folder to the iTunes Library, but only some fo the videos show up. I have tried to add these files individually, changing their names, even moving them to antoher folder and adding them. What can I do to get these files into the library and on to my iPod?

I wish i knew. It seems to be very random in which videos it doesn't add. Is it too much to ask to watch SNL clips on my iPod?

DNG files are importing into premiere pro cc with heavy pink tint what to do?

I have tryed many things to remove the pink to no avail, out side of importing through After Effects cc. What else Ican i try? Is there a fiix in the works?

This happens with certain video DNG files from particular cameras. Search here for dng import problems and you'll find threads about it ... including a recent one where someone found a look or LUT that could be applied to make the footage usable apparently.

.mxf files not importing and crashing premiere

Hello folks
I am editing an event project for a college class. We used three HVX and recorded onto P2 cards. We used about 8 p2 cards total.
Several of the files and entire folder of the video .mxf files will not import into premiere. I get a box stating it is importing them, but the program will state that it is not responding several moments later and I have to force close the entire project.
I have played these .mxf files on VLC player and they play, so I am unsure of how to get adobe premiere cs6 to accept these files without crashing if I can at all.
Thank you,
James

I am editing on a school PC (a dell) and it is using windows 7.
It is Adobe Premiere Cs6 I am not aware of any updates that have been updating (ex. patches) or what the internal parts are on the computer.
The video files are in MXF format.
I do not believe the proram is running any thrid party effects or codecs.
A handful of the MXF files will not import into premiere, but instead crash the system.
