AVI files imported to Premiere Elements 10 are blank. Files can be played using Windows Media.

I am trying to import AVI files to Premiere Elements 10 but they are blank. They show the proper time length for the file but I get no video or audio. When I attempt to import the files directly from my Flip (one of the import options) the files are not even discoverable. I am using Windows XP. Any suggestions?

My wife has a Flip camera, and I do not believe that AVI is what her camera uses (just checked... her Flip saves as .MP4)
Exactly what is inside your AVI files?

  • AVI file imports into Premiere Elements but not Premiere Pro CS5.5

    I tried to import an avi file into Premiere Pro 5.5, only to get the message: "Unsupported format or damaged file." The weird thing is, I have no problem importing the same file into Premiere Elements 1.0 and Premiere Elements 3.0. From the message boards, I somewhat understand that avi is a container and that there are actually 1000s of different formats within that "avi" label. Anyone know why PE is more capable than Pro on this task? Any solutions?

    Well... what is inside that AVI file?

  • How can I play a windows media files on my 3g iPhone?

    I receive my corporate voicemail in email but the file comes in a windows media format. Is there a plug-in or other method to play these files on my 3g iPhone?

    You can't do this with the iPhone as it will not play WMA files.
    There does not appear to be an Application available to allow this either at the moment.

  • Mixing Garageband file in Logic, real insturmens are off and can't play?

    When I open a Gargageband file in Logic Express, for some reason "real insturments" recorded in Garageband won't open. They state "off" and no way to turn "on". Does Logic Express have issue with "real insturments" recorded in Garageband or what, any help appreciated? Haven't figured out how to record a real insturment in Logic Express yet either, help....

    Also of note, I can find these songs in iTunes doing so 1 at a time but I'm hoping there is a way to get iTunes to rebuild the library as a whole.

  • How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

    Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

    Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
    Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/Flip4MacWMVQuickStart.pdf
    If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.

  • How to import .AVI files into Adobe Premiere Elements 12?

    I can play videos in Adobe Organizer but cannot import into Premiere Elements due to a missing codec or unsupported file type.

    Do not download a codec pack until you Google to find out if it contains malware... and I am NOT saying the link in reply #1 contains malware, only that SOME codec packs can cause huge problems

    What is this HDR-HS7E - a miniDV camcorder that lets you do DV and HDV capture firewire?
    True, the DV and HDV capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 13 Capture window is gone. But, have you
    looked at the workaround suggested by PRE_help in this forum. The workaround is found in the following

  • Files seems to skip frames when importing into Premiere Elements 10

    I am importing .mts files from a sdhc card. When trying to import the .MTS Files into Adobe Premiere Elements 10 it skip frames at clip transitions. When i place the files onto the timeline it looks like a 'jump' between clips, as if frames were missing. The same happens when I import .vob files from a dvd. A long seqence gets interrupted by a quick drop in audo and a quick jumpcut. How do i fix this ?

    As John says, matching your project settings to your video is vital to a successful editing experience. If you've got a match, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
    Also, AVCHD video often requires at least a quad core or i7 processor with a good load of RAM to edit. If you don't have a powerful, well-tuned system, it could well be that the skipping you're seeing is just your computer unable to process the video data fast enought.
    How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? What OS are you running?

  • Editing MP4 files in CS6 then importing into Premiere Elements 13

    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    If your Photoshop CS6 comes with Bridge, I am wondering if there is a way to go from
    CS6 Bridge to Elements Organizer 13. From Elements Organizer 13, you could import from there
    into the Premiere Elements 13 Editor.
    Quick results...
    Photoshop CS5.1 Extended, File Menu/Export/Render Video
    File Menu/Browse in Bridge
    Right click .mp4 export in Bridge, select Open With, select Adobe Premiere Elements 13 which needs to be set as default.
    Seems 13 is opening but without the .mp4.

    My guess is that these are 'Named User' licenses and not Concurrent licenses. That just means that every license has a single user and that users is expected to register. Did they just give you one DVD with the program and then 30 license keys? If so there is probably no way you will get around the registration process.

  • Using JVC Everio GZ-HM445 files in Adobe Premiere Elements 13

    I have an Everio GZ-HM445 and have video recorded in HD. Now I am having trouble making the file work properly in Elements 13. Is there something extra I need in Elements 13 to make this work, or is there something I need to do to the file before loading it into Elements 13? Once place it on my hard drive, there is an AVCHD folder with an MD (see Pic 1). When I choose the file a box appears (see Pic 2). When I click okay the file loads a folder (see Pic 3). When I click the folder 5 files appear all named the same, plus one extra little file (see Pic 4). When I choose one of the files it just doesn't work properly.  Thanks for your help.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
    How are you importing your video into Premiere Elements - via the Video Importer or Files and Folder?
    Let go over this...
    First screenshot....those are informational files and not to be imported into Premiere Elements as you can tell from the non support message that you get.
    Second screenshot....shows the BDMV Folder with all your AVCHD.mts files.
    Third screenshot...shows the files inside the BDMV Folder, presumed AVCHD.mts.
    Are you saying that you cannot work with 00000.mts, 00001.mts, 00002.mts, 00003.mts, 00004.mts, and 00005.mts?
    If so, please elaborate on "doesn't work properly". Are you bringing all 5 files to the Timeline and find that it doesn't work properly?
    If you did, by the looks of it, you should have about 19 GB of source media on the Timeline. What do your computer
    resources look like?
    Are you recording 1080i or 1080p with this camera?

  • Sony AVCHD conversion software for import to Premiere Elements

    I am testing out a Sony HXR-NX3 camcorder.  Planning to use it for wedding videos so I'm looking at the color and low light capabilities.  When I copied the footage from the SD card to my PC then dragged the files into Adobe Premiere Elements v10 I noticed the sound did not come along.  After some research, I found an article that stated:  "In order to edit Sony HXR-NX3 60p MTS files smoothly, the easy workaround is to use 3rd-party to rewrap and convert 1080 60p footage a more "editable" format."
    Here is the link to the article:  http://www.brorsoft.com/how-to/import-sony-hxr-nx3-footage-to-adobe-premiere.html
    I filmed in 1080/30p (not 60) but apparently it has the same issue.  I also read that the Sony needs special software to combine files (>2g) that it split during recording and also if you are trying to combine files that crossed SD cards.
    I found three possible pieces of software and wonder if anyone has a recommendation.
    I am running W8.  Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Footage shot at 1080/30p 17mps.
    Sony Content Management Utility (which requires the physical camcorder to activate).  I could only find v1 online.  (Camcorder is a rental.)

    From a Premiere Elements perspective...
    Please take a look at the blog post PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import"
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
    It uses Command Prompt to get the job done.
    It may be on the primitive side when it comes to the converter mentioned, but it might just take care of the audio issues and the files merging if those are the target concerns?
    Please let us know if you decide to try the approach on a mini test run basis.
    Thanks.

  • How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

    How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
    It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

    Jayhawk
    I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
    Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

  • Converting 1080/50p video for import into Premiere Elements

    Hi there,
    I'm currently looking into buying an HD camcorder, and editing software to go with it.  I'm considering getting a camcorder which can record in 1080/50p for future-proofing, however I see that Premiere Elements doesn't currently support 1080/50p editing.  I was wondering whether I could sensibly shoot video in 1080/50p for archiving, but convert it down to either 1080/50i or 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere?  Is there a suitable intermediate input format which Premiere supports and which wouldn't result in a significant loss of quality due to the extra transcoding step?
    Also, what is the recommended system requirement for 1080/50i and 720/50p editing?  I have a 2007 Macbook (2.2 GHz Core2 Duo, 4GB RAM), would that be sufficient?
    Thank you.

    Thanks a lot for the very quick response Steve.
    I suspect shooting 1080/50i is likely to be the way to go, I'll obviously have a play once I get the camera.  I just wanted to check whether it's feasible to shoot in 1080/50p, but convert to 720/50p prior to importing into Premiere Elements.  That way I can keep a copy of the 1080/50p clip to use in a few years time when the consumer editing software has caught up.
    If I were to do that, what's the recommended file format to convert to prior to import?  Is there something similar to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) which is fast to convert to and edit from - ideally I'd rather not convert to 720/50p H.264.  Is there a list of Premiere Elements' supproted input formats somewhere?
