AVCHD Imported video Jitters and Jumps

Ok I know this has been discussed however I cant seem to get the log and transfer process to create files that are not horribly jittery. Every second there is a major jump during playback.
I have a Sony SR1.
Easy setup at AIC 1080i60
File properties are 1440x1080 29.9fps
Import Prefernces are AVCHD AIC and AC3 Audio is set to plain stereo.
I use the log and transfer capability to capture the files and when I drag the files to the time line to play its painfully bad jitter. HELP? I have been searching for a solution for hours.
Thanks for taking the time

I'm having exactly the same problem with imported AVCHD. The video that I import from my Sony HDR-SR10, jumps backwards every 15th frame, leaving me with a seizure inducing "Wang-Chung" effect. However, the suggestion that I delete Perian and TubeTV doesn't work for me, becuase, when, I search the computer, no such files exit. (Never even heard of them.)
Any other suggestion?
Thanks,
Brad

Audio and video sticking and jumping after installing windows 8.1

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion G6 - 2292sa
The product no is C1Y93EA#ABU
I have recently upgraded my system from windows 8 to the windows 8.1 update. Since I updated my audio won't work properly at all. During random intervals when playing songs on itunes the song will jump and stick for a few seconds then continue playing with random jumps like this throught all the songs. When I watch a music video on youtube the audio does the same thing as it does in itunes as well as the video sticking and jumping. I have tried an audio fix I saw on the HP forums that suggested I delete the hd audio driver, hard reset then reinstall them but this didn't have any affect what so ever. This is a huge problem since I can't watch netflix, listen to songs or pretty much do anything media related.
Any help you could give would be really apreciated.

FCP AVCHD import video too fast, audio off - help please

Recently imported video from my Panasonic AVCHD HDC-SD100 into FCP, first time. I used Log and Transfer and I got all my clips imported. In the Log and Transfer window playback looks great, sounds great, everything fine - but once transferred to my browser my video is super fast making the audio and video out of sync, the audio is normal. I had to slow down my video speed to about 66% in order for it to match up (not perfect, but it works). Anyone have an idea of why my video is importing from Log and Transfer sped up? I would appreciate anyone's feedback. Thanks.

hi.
Sorry I can't help solving your problem, but you may do mine!
tecs:
FCP 5.0.4
Panasonic HDC-SD100
mac as seen below
I do not get it done, to import vids at any way.
Log and Transfer window tells me that there's no communication.
but even befor that, I get a error message, saying the FCP can't load the "video-deck" (german! sorry!).
so anyway....
can you tell me what your settings are? like the exact configuration or the sequenze-, recording- and the device control-settings!!!
I also couldn't figuare-out the difference of the camera-mod (when connecting to the mac) "PC connect" or "AVCHD connect". doesn't seem to make any difference in my case.
So sorry for my spelling (no native!) and for the nubi-questions. but thats what I am...
Your help would be great!
Thanks!

Audio and Video skipping and jumping

WUTFDT3 getTV channel is skipping and jumping in the audio and video. It will skip and jump for about 10 to 20 seconds and then be fine for 30 seconds to a minute. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me

Your internet connection might be the problem. I am a fellow student also and my school's wireless network is always slower than the ethernet. And also, did you try to watch the TV show while it is downloading? I know it can but I suspect that might be the problem too. (so basically I don't know what is going to too) But if there is a ethernet port on your wall use the ethernet connection and watch it after it downloads completely. You also said that you purchased it twice? You don't have to do that. Email Apple and they should let you download it again for free and maybe they can give you credit for the second download. Here is the link:

Good luck.

Why is imported video black and white

When I imported a video into Motion 5 it appeared in color in the layers list, but black and white on the canvas.

Did you change the channels settings to red, green or blue?

Strange glitch when importing video (uncompressed and ProRes)

I'm encountering an issue when importing files into Final Cut. The problem seems to be occurring only with uncompressed SD and ProRes as far as I can tell.
Here's what's happening:
I import a file into Final Cut. It has a running time of about 10 minutes. If you drag the clip into the timeline or viewer, there seems like there is some kind of sync problem. The video plays back, but ends around the 8 minute mark instead of 10. The actual clip spans the full 10 minutes in the timeline, but the part of the clip between 8min and 10min is just black. Nothing seems to be getting cut out. It plays back at a little faster rate, which would explain why it's ending at 8 minutes. I just can't figure out why this is happening.
I thought it might be a problem with the file itself, but it works fine on another Final Cut system I've tried.
I tried other types of files on the problem computer and they work normally. For a temporary fix (since the project needed to be completed) I converted the problem file to DVCPro in compressor. No problems once I did that. It played back and edited fine. The problem only seems to be happening with either uncompressed or ProRes footage.
I haven't installed any new codecs or software since working with these formats in the past when this issue wasn't present. I've tried trashing preferences, double checking sequence settings, etc. Of course I'd rather avoid reinstalling Final Cut altogether.
It's obvious that it's an issue with my computer since the files work normally on the other system. I'm just at a loss as to what is actually happening.
Hopefully I explained it well enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help Alchroma, but I'm quit sure it's not a problem about interlacing of the rolling shutter.
I really don't get it. The file plays perfectly in Quicktime, and once I import it in FCPX it gets smashed. The video is like bugging every 2 or 3 seconds. I added an other photo of the bug.
Hope someone can help me!

Importing video distortion and noise

When I import my Lumix GH3 footage into FCPX I have found that the program adds significant noise (it looks like there are a bunch of knats swarming in the footage) and moderate distortion to my video clips. When I look at the footage straight from the camera memory card it looks clean and incredibly sharp - exposure was perfect, so no noise at all. I thought that maybe it was just because FCP was giving me footage to edit easier with, but upon exporting I found that to video looked exactly the same as it did in my timeline. I'm hoping that there is some setting I have selected that is causing this. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I transcoded using both proxy and optimized and it made no difference.

You are confusing a few things. It is up to you to decide whether or not to optimize, or to use proxy media.
The default on import is just that. You can overrule on import it if you want, or change it in the preferences. It is a general preference, not a project preference.
You switch between original/optimized and proxy by clicking a little triangle at the top right of the viewer.
The fact that the system complains about not having proxies is a clear indicator that the option above is now set to use proxy media. Just set it to original/optimized and the red "missing proxy" will all go away.
There is hardly any reason to create *both* optimized and proxy media for the same footage - you are most likely just wasting space. In fact, you could just experiment with using only original media. If performance with original is unsatisfactory, *then* create optimized media. It does NOT have to be done at import time. Just control-click and choose "Transcode Media..." and tick the appropriate box.

AVCHD Import looks jumpy and skips

Hello,
I used my New Sony AX2000 (little brother to the NX5) and after importing my wedding I noticed on playback screen everything looks jumpy and sort of looks like its skipping during playback. Any time of movement or pan looks horrible yet when played on my camera it looks very very smooth.
Does my Preview window on FCPX just show it this way but the final product will be smooth?
Is it running this way because back ground rendering is still going on?
I never had this issue on previous (HDV) camcorders when importing.
Just wondering why nothing is smooth just sort of like playing back a YouTube video were your internet connection isnt fast enough so your video seems to studder - thats what I'm getting.
Very disaapointed.

Never mind. Once FCP X finishes rendering to 100% the video plays perfect in the preview window.

LR4 doesn't import video files .avi and cannot playback

Hello,
I have a big issue with my brand new Lightroom 4.
I've been working on my updated catalog (from LR3) very well, since I tried to import fotos and videos from my second camera (olympus E-PL1).
This "old" catalog contains RAW files (NEF and ORF), Jpeg and Video files (.avi).
In LR3 I had no problems in importing video file and in playing the back with the external player.
Now in LR4 is a real disaster!
I cannot even import .avi files properly.
LR is importing fotos but is giving a failure message on most of the video (avi) file.
Sometimes it imports just few videos and sometimes none of them.
I've tried to import them in differnt way: from camera directly, from a card reader, from an external drive and even from the c: hard drive. i've tried to move, and to add them in catalog. NO WAY!
I've also tried to clean the video cache: no changes. To disable GL accelerator: no results. I have no further idea.
I can play these video files in all applications, from WMP to Quicktime. I have also Vlan installed.
Furthermore, while trying to import or playback videos. LR4 is slowing up in a very strange way. And sometime is crashing the last imported session (files not foud)
I've tried to reinstall it, but I didn't see any different result.
I've searched everywhere in the web for a possible solution, but I didn't find anything.
Avi file I'm talking about are coming from a olympus camera E-PL1, they are in 720p.
Please help me, beacuse I am very disappointed wih thios new video feature.
Thank you in advance!
Marco

Yes, I did and I got a strange outcome.
I checked Quicktime, and I reinstalled it.
I restarted the PC.
When LR4 opens, the processes
dynamiclinkmanager.exe
dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe
Adobe QT32 Server.exe.
are not working.
After I opened the import dialog these services started.
For the first time after restarting the PC; I could import a small video and I could playback it without problems.
The second try of importing more videos (4 small ones), went well, but at the playback moment, everything freezed again.
I tried to restart lightroom and to kill the processes listed above, but I had no luck.
Only restarting the PC I could (and not always) importing the videos. The playback did work just few times.
If the first task, after restarting the PC and Lightroom is importing (without waiting the previews of the importing box) generally there is no problem.
If I work with my catalog, which contains videos as well, then the importing dialog (for videos) is not working.
The playback feature seems to be a matter of luck, 90% ot times is not working well.
I run a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
A similar problem was reported as a bug in this post, and if so I wonder why there are not many other users reporting the same problems.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/973059?tstart=30
I really hope I can solve it, without waiting for a bug fix.
Thank you

Importing video error: Adobe doesn't import video

I would like to import video into Premiere from my Flash Memory camcorder's hard drive to my computer's hard drive. My camcorder records .mpg files, and when I try to import mpg files into Premiere, the program says the file is not supported. I also tried importing wmv files and still image files from my computer's hard disk into Premiere, and the program does not recognize these (the source window in Premiere is empty). Is there a mistake I am making? Does the program recognize mpg files? If so, how do I import video files and use them in the program?

Adjusting Volume of Imported Videos

I'm wondering how to adjust the volume of a video I've
imported into Flash. I used the File > Import Video option and
need to import flv, dv, and mov videos. Once I have imported the
video is there some actionscript I can use to control the volume of
the video clip? or do I need to do something while importing the
file itself?

It should be noted that velocity doesn't do the same thing to all instruments. Mostly instruments where you can play harder to make it louder, like a drum or a bass guitar or piano, but I have noticed with a trumpet, full velocity gets you a sharp stab with a slide down of the note, and on organ it really does nothing at all. So, it depends on the instrument being edited whether that will do what you need.

What's the best way of importing, editing, exporting and watching AVCHD videos without losing quality?

Whenever I import AVCHD (.mts extension files) to Final Cut Pro X (via Import from camera), iMovie, Adobe Premiere Elements 10 or Adobe Premiere Pro CS4; when I later export those videos to any format I can imagine, I can't get the same quality than when I play them through the camera connected by HDMI to TV (the camera's movements are not any smooth).
How have you solved this problem? Is it just me?
By the way, maybe the problem is in watching: what apps do you use to play the exported media? Do you watch the final videos just on TV? Do you create blu-ray discs?
I was also wondering what would happen if I created a blu-ray image, have you tried this?
Thanks in advance,
Pol

My video was shot by a Canon HF100 at 1440x1080 25fps 1080i 25i (interlaced) and imported to Final Cut Pro X without transcoding to ProRes (1st time) and transcoding (2nd time).
The project settings are set to: set automatically based on 1st video clip (so they're 1440x1080 1080i 25i) and I used to leave Audio and Render to default settings (Surround, 48kHz, ProRes 422), but I have also done a few tests with ProRes 422 HQ and Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2. Should I try with ProRes 4444?
I usually export the project using Current settings (in video codec), and I've also burned an AVCHD DVD (I plybacked it on PlayStation 3 - also looked choppy). I've also exported to H.264 codec.
The video looks choppy on Mac played by Quicktime and VLC. The video I could export to MP4 also looked choppy on PlayStation 3 and Samsung LED TV.
Thanks for taking your time,
Pol

Importing video clips in AVCHD (Lite) into Aperture vs iMovie

I'm trying to figure out which application I should use for importing and storing video clips shot on my Panasonic DMC-ZS7 camera. This camera can shoot in AVCHD (Lite) or in Motion JPEG. I use the AVCHD (Lite) format to shoot the videos with this camera.
The two application options I currently have for importing video clips from this camera are:
a. Aperture 3.5.1 (I'm not using iPhoto since I have Aperture).
b. iMovie 10.0.1 (I'm not using Final Cut Pro)
When I first got this camera, Aperture 3 did not support the AVCHD Lite codec. Back then, iMovie could import video clips shot in AVCHD Lite, but it had to transcode the AVCHD video clips into AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). Some time later, one of the Aperture 3 updates made it possible to import AVCHD Lite into Aperture (without having to transode into an intermediate codec), so we started importing our video clips shot in AVCHD Lite (together with our photos shot by the same camera) directly into Aperture.
iMovie 10 released in 2013 supports importing video clips shot in AVCHD Lite without having to transode them to AIC for storing these video clips in iMovie. So, now we have a dilemma that we need help with. Which application should we use going forward for importing video clips from this camera?
When I look at the metadata for the imported videos in Aperture, I see that the format of the imported video clips is listed as H.264. However, I can't seem to be able to find any information about the format in which iMovie stores imported videos. I can "Reveal in Finder" a video that I import into iMovie, and I see the size of the file and the .mov extension assigned to the file. With video files, the extension does not always determine the codec of the file, but in my non-expert opinion, the .mov extension is not H.264; I may be totally wrong here, though. What I have noticed, though, is that a video clip imported into iMovie has the file size that is about 10% larger than the same video clip imported into Aperture.
Therefore, I have three questions:
1. What format is a video clip (shot in AVCHD Lite) stored in Aperture 3.5.1 and in iMovie 10.0.1
2. Which format (the one used by Aperture or the one used in iMovie) is better suited for transoding AVCHD videos into? The balance of the quality and file size is the main consideration for us.
3. Which applications would you personally prefer using for importing video clips to and why?
I do want to use some of these video clips to make home videos in the future, utillizing iMovie. However, it seems I can still store the raw footage in Aperture and access this raw footage from iMovie to be able to create an iMovie project and a final home video. One of the concerns is that if we keep importing our video clips into Aperture, the Aperture library could grow beyond the size that Aperture can support and we may end up losing our photos due to the database corruption. Is this a real risk?
Thank you!

I had the same question recently. Go to the right of this box and a little above, into the Search Discussions window. Type in this: Is MPEG2 the answer
You will find my question, and the great answers I got. Follow those directions and you will be all set!

A workflow to burn AVCHD camcorder video and 5.1 sound to BluRay disc.

A workflow to burn AVCHD camcorder video and 5.1 sound to BluRay disc.
After weeks searching through many posts by the Forum’s experts with Final Cut Pro and Compressor, I have a crude workflow that seems to work for me, and might be of interest to others. This information I couldn’t find in the Help files of either FCP or Compressor, and would appreciate feedback on other options. Thanks to the Forum contributors who have helped me with suggestions.
I have successfully burned a BluRay DVD of the video and audio outputs of my new Panasonic AVCHD camcorder, that is, 1920x1080 video and 5.1 surround sound, using Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 7.0.2, Compressor 3.5.4.) on an Intel iMac with OS 10.6.3
Using AUNSOFT-PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP, I converted the camcorder’s MTS files to ProRes 422 .mov files containing 5.1 six channels of audio.
In FCPro, set the Sequence / Settings / Audio Outputs to 5.1 Monitoring:
     L+R Stereo,     Stereo
     Center             Dual Mono
     LFE                Dual Mono
     Ls +Rs            Stereo
Uncheck the “Downmix…to Stereo” in Warning box that pops up when this step is completed.
Drag the ProRes .mov file into the time line of FCP 7:
The next steps are important for assigning each of the six audio channels to the Dolby 5.1 configuration (L, R, C, Lfe, Ls, Rs). This step was new to me and something I couldn’t find in the FCPro or Compressor Help file manual. If anyone can reference a page number, I would appreciate that info.
In the FCP time line, unlink the video from the audio channels (Linked Selection) in the upper right corner of the FCP time line.
Select each audio channel, then right click in the area of the blank column near the padlock. Assign A1, A2, A3 etc to each of the audio channels as they fit the Dolby configuration ( L+R, C, Lfe, Ls+Rs) This process is kind of clunky and it may take patience to accomplish.
The best Forum ideas that I could find for setting up the six channel audio came from the following posts which I credit for their help:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9095726#9095726
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12525373#12525373
In FCPro, Mark In and Out points, Select In to Out
Under File / Share option ………Select BluRay job……then Select either “Export” or “Send to Compressor”
(Note: At this point, the Option Export which enables FCPro to burn a BluRay DVD, seems to work well, and the resulting DVD video and six channels of audio seems as good as that produced by the more complicated option of “Send to Compressor”……..which is described below.)
If the Send to Compressor option is selected, Compressor is automatically started by this selection. At this point, do not Quit FCPro, because Compressor needs to transfer file data (or something like that) to Compressor.
In the job pane of Compressor, will exist two targets, H264 for BluRay and Dolby Digital.
I deleted the Dolby Digital and replaced it with Dolby Digital Professional Auto.
Clicking any where in the Sequence 1 job pane (not in H264 nor Dolby target rows) will reveal the A/V attributes:
Under the Job Action tab, select the BluRay unit that will eventually do the burning.
Clicking on the target H264 for BluRay located in the larger Job Pane reveals the settings I chose:
Clicking on the target Dolby Digital Professional (Auto) reveals these settings I chose:
I left settings on the Bitstream tab untouched. However the Preprocessing tab, I set the Compression Preset to “None”.
I found that turning on the BluRay burner with a preloaded BD/RE is best to do at this time, or even better, to energize the burner at the time that the “Send to Compressor” function is activated.
When settings are complete, select “Submit” in the lower corner of the Compressor larger pane and processing will begin, and a status pane indicating time elapsed and time remaining will appear. These estimates are not very accurate.
I have found that my 1 minute test video was initially estimated to require about two hours of processing time, but actually required only 1 hour which is still unusually long. Based on my experience, be prepared for an “overnight” processing to occur for longer movie durations.
This is the part of the overall process I need to understand better: How to estimate the duration to encode and burn 1 minute of video / audio? This 1 hour duration for 1 minute of video/audio was the same whether I SHARE-Exported to FCPro to burn DVD, or SHARE-Send to Compressor option.
Wondering if the encoding of the six 5.1 audio channels caused the lengthy processing(?). Perhaps settings that I made in Compressor affected time to process and burn.
Finally, I hope this poorly written process will help someone who has been looking for the same information as I had been. I would appreciate feedback from those who have already done this; what OS are you using, what hardware are you using? What software package have you tried. And lastly, Thanks to all who contribute to these Community Forums, who take the time to detail their processes. You all have helped me to get this far.
