AVI file format

Hello
At this moment I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but in the future I want to use Final Cut Studio. Now I make avi file in Microsoft DV format. Is this also possible in FCS ? Al the file that I create in FCS are later used in Premiere Pro, so there must be some kind of compatibility. Those anyone know how compatible FCS is with Premiere Pro
Thanks in advance

You'll have no problems making the switch. All the normal codecs - DV, Uncompressed 10-bit, etc, all work perfectly in both applications.
You can easily make AVI's, but not directly from within FCS. All you have to do is export your finished movie and transcode it in a third-party app. A good one is VisualHub, it's $23 shareware. But as I said, you won't need these to move media between Premiere and FCS.

  • HT3775 will my mac play .avi file formats?

    Hi
    I have a new mac and not sure on opening this format. The help section lists AVI and the file format is .avi bit it wont open.
    Any ideas?

    In addition to the VLC player that mende1 mentions, you can use a tool like Handbrake to transcode such formats to an MP4 that will play in quicktime. These can be found here:

  • .AVI file format question

    Upgrading from CS2 to Photoshop CS5
    I found out after the fact that in order to edit video you need CS5 Extended.
    So, I then went and returned regular and upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended.
    (See my other thread for details, but installing the 12.01 patch is not an option at this time.)
    Try to use file open to open a .AVI file from one of my cameras and get a message of "unrecognized file format".
    Was able to import the 7 second video into layers.
    Checked support issues, and installed Quicktime 7.6.8
    Also, due to 12.01 issues, reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended AFTER upgraded Quicktime to 7.6.8
    Machine specs:  Toshiba Satellite P30  Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.60 GHZ (Hyperthreading Dual Core) 2GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Win XP Professional SP3 About 12 GB disk space available at install time.
    Note that Quicktime will open the .AVI file in question with no problems, as well as Roxio software (trying to get rid of that with CS5)

    I talked to support via phone and it appears the the problem is in installation.  The install of CS5 extended did not take over the regular install.  So, I need to start by completely uninstalling AGAIN and installed extended from scratch AGAIN.
    I did try the program mention GSPOT as well.  It says AVI codecs are installed on the machine inquestion.  I will get more informaiton tonight afte rI do the re-install and see what happens.

  • Quicktime 10 .avi file format

    I just got my new MacBook pro with the snow leopard system, and Quicktime 10.0 (90.3.1).
    I can view the .avi movie, but have no sound... any suggestions on what to do to listen?

    any suggestions on what to do to listen?
    The normal solution when a file loads but does not play either the audio or video portion of the content is to determine what codec is not being supported, locate a Mac component version of that component, and install it on you system. In the case of AVI files, the Perian (free) component package will play most "common" audio/video format combinations currently in use on Windows platforms. However, be advised that this file format is old (i.e., the developer dropped official support for it a decade ago) and there are several codecs that have never been transcoded for use on the Mac or may only be available for OS 9 and/or non-Intel systems. In addition, if you already have Perian installed and then upgraded to Snow Leopard, it may be necessary to re-install the package to properly re-link the components for QT X.

  • Transferring video I have taken (AVI file format) to iPodTouch

    I would like to transfer a video I have shot and that is in iPhoto to my iPod touch so I can show it to others when I don't have my computer with me. So far I haven't discovered a way to copy it. I can get still photos with no problem.
    Is this possible? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
    Charles

    Hi,
    You will need to put your video through some sort of conversion.
    Have a look at this software - http://www.squared5.com/

  • How to open AVI files?

    I have six AVI files that I very much need to see.   They come on a CD-ROM.  I have transferred them to my hard drive.   They do not work from either the CD-ROM or the hard drive.
    GetInfo identifies these videos as “AVI movie.”
    The closest I can get is with Real Player, Version 12.0.1 (1750).  This application opens a window for each file.  The thermometer across the bottom of the window moves as if the application is playing the video, but the window remains totally black.   (The videos should not have any sound, so I do not expect to hear anything from them.)
    I have no luck at all with VLC and QuickTime Player.  VLC, Version 2.0.7 Twoflower (Intel 64bit), reports:
    QuickTime Player, Version 10.0 (131), reports:
    I get this problem with videos from people who do not use Macinstoshes.  
    Does anyone know how to open such AVI files? 

    I have Perian 1.2.3.  Its update function reports that is the latest version.  
    Perian's GetInfo has the following report, which says nothing about the T263 codec:

  • Why does "only" my Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?

    Why does Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?
    but when I watch Youtube video, there are avi file format option in CS6!!!!!!!
    Can anybody help me?
    WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Flash uses the Adobe Media Converter to create the video output. If you select the "Use Media Converter" option after selecting to output to Quicktime, and, if your computer has the AVI codec installed, you should be able to export to an AVI file.

  • Can you write an avi file without using imaq

    Just curious if anybody has tried to write an avi file without using imaq vi's? So far I have only found sketchy info on the file format and am looking for some help on the file structure etc. Any references or example avi files with explanations of format would be most helpfull. Thanks in advance -

    Absolutely.......
    An AVI video file is actually structured in the same way as most Windows media files or RIFF files as they are generically known, thus the description below is applicable to for example WAV files etc.
    Thus the file always begins with the four byte code RIFF and continues to use this generic four byte coding known as FOURCC, four-character code or FCC throughout.
    There are then specific requirements for each different media content and the sections that must be included to define a valid file structure of the desired meadia type.
    Each section or 'CHUNK' is defined by an FCC (RIFF being the first) with facility to include additional FCC's as required. The FCC is followed by a length descriptor and then the data (just for fun the odd CHUNK does not quite fit this very general overview). These chunks then align to even word boundries so padding zeros are often inserted at the end of a CHUNK to make it all nice and neat.
    It is a requirement that software that does not recognise an additional custom CHUNK should ignore it, this is very easy as all you have to do is use the length descriptor to 'jump' over the CHUNK concerned.
    The following is an example from the 'CLOCK.AVI' found on windows computers for a number of years...
    RIFFjB AVI LISTΠhdrlavih8
    Here you can see the RIFF followed by a four byte length descriptor (4 Gigabytes), followed by various sub CHUNKS in this example the sub CHUNK is an AVI (note that it is actually 'AVI ' to conform to the FCC).
    So the CHUNK structure looks a bit like this:-
    RIFF ('AVI '
    LIST ('hdrl'
    'avih'()
    LIST ('strl'
    'strh'()
    'strf'()
    'strd'()
    'strn'()
    LIST ('movi'
    {SubChunk | LIST ('rec '
    SubChunk1
    SubChunk2
    ['idx1']
    For more information on all this you need to read the RIFF specification documentation on the MSDN website or on the MSDN Technet materials. Most of the stuff you will immediately locate will refer to the AVI file format as that is where most of the recent effort has been focused.

  • Problem import large avi-files into iMovie '11

    I have a large AVI-file, DV, from an old video camera that I want to import to iMove '11. The file is 10,37 GB but when I import it to iMovie only a few scenes is visible. Also, iMovie says the file is 4,71 GB.
    How do I import the whole file?
    Thanks
    /Torbjörn

    If you can convert the AVI movie back on the PC to Quicktime, this would be your best option.  AVI files are limited to 4GB in size.  To get around this limit, the AVI file might be referencing other smaller files on the PC.  The AVI file format has been pretty much abandoned by Microsoft which now uses the WMV format.

  • HT3775 Hi, my mac which is on 10.7.5 osx. but when ever i insert any mpeg/avi video cd it shows the file format not recognized. i am fed up of this. plz somebody help me. what should i do now.

    hi,
              i am using 10.7.5 lion there are a lot of problems in this OS.
    like most of the programs quit's unexpectedly. some programs does not work on it. like adobe cs5 is not working. everytime time when i do click on adobe cs 5 icon it shows a message "To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” again" while i always remain connected on the net.
    2. when ever i insert an avi or mpeg video disk it shows the file format not recognized. to **** with this macbook pro n its 10.7.5 lion. the same disk works/runs on windows on windows systems.
    plz somebody help me what should i do now.
    [email protected]

    it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
    The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
    first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
    choose that and let it reinstall.
    Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
    To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

    you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.
