AVI files in Adobe Premiere? (can't import)

Hi,
I've just tried to import a bunch if .avi files into Adobe Premiere (OSX) but they all failed due to missing codec. Is there a way around this? I've looked at some other threads but don't understand it all and i'm on a bit of a deadline.
I've currently installing it on my windows box as i know OSX doesn't play nice with avi anyway, is it likely to work?
The avi files have multiple streams -2 camera angles are recorded, when they are loaded  both show and play in sync so i'm worrying about converting to another format.
Thanks

What is the source of those files?

  • Importing AVI files from Adobe Premiere into Final Cut Pro 5

    I am editing a video for someone who captured the footage on a PC with Adobe Premiere, and he gave me a hard drive with the AVI files. Is there any way I can import them or convert them to import in Final Cut Pro 5?
    If not, would settings should he use when he exports the captured footage so that I can use it?

    Hello there,
    you can use QuickTime Player to convert the files. You need QuickTime Pro for export functionality, though.
    Step by step as follows:
    1. Open the AVI file in QT Player, select "File > Export".
    2. In the "Export:" pulldown select "Movie to QuickTime Movie".
    3. Select "Default settings" in the "Use:" pulldown.
    4. Click "Options" right to the first pulldown menu.
    5. Click "Settings" in the "Video" pane.
    6. Set Compression type to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC".
    7. Set other options (interlaced/progressive) as needed.
    8. Click "OK".
    9. Set audio options in the "Sound" pane using the "Settings" button. (I don't have an AVI w/ sound here, so please see FCPs DV-NTSC Easy setup for approriate audio settings).
    10. Click "OK".
    11. Optionally: name the file.
    12. Click "Save".
    For the remaining files, use the "Most recent settings" option in the "Use:" pulldown of the export dialog.
    Unfortunately, while QT Player can export multiple files simultaneously, it has no batch capabilities, so you have to open and export each file by hand.
    Also, I'm not sure if QuickTime recompresses the files or just changes the container (even if the codec is the same).
    Other than that I always recommend Flip4Mac's Episode for this kinda work. This app even has a conversion preset for this. Also Episode allows for changing the container format (AVI -> QuickTime) without recompressing the frames.
    Hop this helps, Oliver

  • 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

  • Cannot import .AVI files into Adobe Premiere CS5

    Hello Adobe users, I have recently begun a project within Premiere Pro, and I began importing files into my Premiere project, which I shot using my NS-DV1080P Insignia camcorder. I did some research and discovered that I needed some missing codecs. I found and istalled both codec packs, K-Lite, and ffdshow, and still the problem remains. I have contacted Insignia's help forums about this issue and they advised me to contact Adobe. Did I install the codecs wrong, or is there another problem? Could someone help me on this? Thanks.

    After you format your drive to remove those codec packs, you need to find the SPECIFIC codec you need

  • Client Supplied AVI files from Flip Camera--Can't Edit in Premiere CS3

    A client handed me a DVD-ROM disc with video footage he shot on a Flip camera.
    The footage appears to import with no errors, but when I drag it to the timeline, I am presented with the "no" icon (O with a slash through it).
    Apparently CS3 only sees the file as audio and I can drag it there.
    VLC Media Player will play both the video AND audio portion, so I know the files are complete. It is just Premiere that can't deal with them.
    Before I tell the client I can't take the job, is there anything I overlooked that would make these Flip camera AVI files editable in Premiere CS3?

    Here is one of the ARTICLES that Harm mentions, from the PrE Tips & Tricks sub-forum.
    There is also a very recent post to this forum on using the Flip material. I think that I, Jeff and probably Harm commented in that one. You can filter your Seach by People and use any one of us. I'd start with Jeff Bellune and look for the more recent dates.
    Good luck,

  • How do I import .flv files to Adobe Premiere 12?

    How do I import .flv files to Adobe Premiere 12?
    thanks,

    XTimeTravelers
    If the details are as stated in your latest post, there are no inconsistencies here between us. Misunderstandings, probably.
    Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are standalone programs. Each comes with the same (but its own) Elements Organizer 11 and each with its own Editor section. When a given version (Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 for example) is on the same computer, that version shares the same Elements Organizer catalog. All that being said....
    All you are saying is that you can import a .flv file into the Elements Organizer 11 that came with Photoshop Elements 11.
    a. Photoshop Elements 11 is a photo editor and will not support video (flv or otherwise). We agree on that.
    b. Elements Organizer 11 that comes with Photoshop Elements 11 does support the import of .flv files there for organizational purposes. And, you should be able to playback the .flv file in the Elements Organizer 11 (you may need VLC player, not sure on that requirement...but it is possible). You can do the same for Elements Organizer 12.
    All we are saying is the you cannot import a .flv file into the Premiere Elements Editor, be it for Premiere Elements Editor 11 or 12. And, you have not said that you have. All you are talking about is your experiences in the Elements Organizer 11 which should be the same for the Elements Organizer 12.
    So, we are in agreement on everything.
    Summary:
    You cannot import a .flv file into the Photoshop Elements Editor (any version) because it is a photo editor. You never claimed you did.
    You cannot import a .flv file into the Premiere Elements Editor (any version) even though it is a video editor. This particular video editor (11 or 12) does not support .flv.
    The Elements Organizer of these programs is another story where it is possible to import the .flv for organizational purposes and even playback.
    Does that make it all come together for you?
    Please review the above and then let me know if I am out of sync on what you wrote and how I have interpreted it.
    Thanks.

  • HT5409 Can you turn this function off? I am having issues linking offline media(MTS files) in Adobe Premiere CS6

    New imac with 10.8.4.  With the new avchd coverter, I am not able to link offline MTS files in Adobe Premiere CS6.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Adobe hasn't updated it's products to look inside the avchd packages.
    You'll have to do it for them.
    Right-Click on the avchd package (or whatever it is called). Choose Show Package Contents.
    Keep digging into the internal packages in a similar way until you get to the folder with the mts files.
    When you tell Adobe to open a file, just drag the mts file into the Open File dialog. If it cannot maintain that link, you might have to move the files to some other location Adobe can process.

  • Importing Cyberlink Power Director project files to Adobe Premiere

    I am trying to switch from Powerdirector to Adobe Premiere because I felt like a needed a more powerful video editor. I already have a project that I started in PowerDirector and I don't really want to start it over from scratch or just export what I have into a rendered video file. Is there any way to import these sort of project files to Adobe Premiere, or some sort of converter?

    No, you have to start from scratch, or better, finish in Powerdirector and only start new projects in PR.

    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.

  • How to convert .mts file to Adobe Premiere?

    I shoot my family party with my Sony HDR-XR500V with the output video format of .MTS . I tried to do some editing on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. But it does not support mts file. I have made some searches ,and i found that the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can edit the file formats of mpeg2 and avi. So i am wondering how to convert mts file to mpeg2 and avi for me to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? what software and programme should i need.and where can i get it. Thanks.

    As long as you have a AVCHD converter, you can use almost any editing software to edit and perfect your MTS/M2TS video files. What you should do is converting AVCHD video files into the video formats editable by editing software you are using.
    As for this question, you can convert MTS from your HD camcorder to MPEG 2,MOV or AVI supportable by Adobe Premiere.
    I recommend Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac which is the fastest and best quality video converter i ever used.It can help you to convert MTS/M2TS recording to some playable and editable video formats, like MOV for editing on iMovie,FCP,FCE and Adobe Premiere you are using.
    I ever used some video converter which produces video files with the issue of video and audio out of sync, but Brorsoft works fine in this point.

  • Playing inserted avi files in Adobe Acrobat 9 or later

    A user has inserted avi files into Adobe and it always worked up to version 8.1.
    Any version later than that, the avi files will not play anymore.
    Is there any way to make them play or will all his files need converted to another source?
    Converting them all to a different format would be quite the task as there are many videos involved.

  • How do I edit rd3 files in Adobe Premiere Cs5 if I cannot afford to upgrade?

    I'm trying to edit Rd3 files in Adobe Premiere pro cs5 I cannot afford to upgrade at this moment. What are the alternatives? Should I export from Redcine X? If so what are the settings that I should follow to edit in cs5? I would be editing at 1080.

    It depends; you really need to list your hardware since CS5 speed for various formats is impacted by cpu, gpu, RAM, and drives.
    If you final result will only be 1080, then you can certainly downsample up front to ease the work your PC has to do. OTOH, if you ever want to export with the full glory that Rd3 files are capable, editing the Rds files natively is probably the best workflow.
    Have you tried changing the playback window resolution way down?

  • I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    Hi
    I was hoping that FCE would be able to handle the coversion from 18 to 30fps but that appears not to be the case.
    It does - If I'm not totally wrong. Can be to much using FinalCut Pro (6)
    Start FCE
    Select type of project You want to do
    I guess - NTSC 29.97fps - Select that from FCE menu / Easy Set-up
    Start a new Sequence
    DROP A PHOTO in TimeLine - at beginning.
    Now project is locked to 29.97 fps
    Now import and drop the 18fps clip in TimeLine.
    Select to convert it to match the setting of TimeLine.
    IF THIS IS A GOOD WAY - I hesitate to say - It works - but if quality is OK or not - I don't know
    I DO : use JES_Deinterlacer (free from Internet) to convert the frame rate in my clips (usually 25fps) to 29.97 fps - Then and first then I import the converted clip into FinalCut to be used in my NTSC projects.
    The quality done in this way - is very good and the program is free - so I can not want any better.
