How to make avi videos in elements 10?

Thank you for the critical information that you gave in your last post number 3.
You did not say that you were working on with Premiere Elements 10 on a Mac computer.
Neither Premiere Elements 10 Mac nor iMovie support an .avi export.
If you want an .avi file, you are going to have to export your Timeline to as .mov or .mp4 and then
convert that to an .avi export in a 3rd party software.
For Premiere Elements 10 Mac...for .mov, see Share/Computer/QuickTime and appropriate Preset and Advanced Settings.
Or, for mp4, see Share/Computer/AVCHD and appropriate MP4 preset. Setting help is available if you ask but give details.
The following link is being provided for informational (non promotional) reasons only to start you on the issues of

Photoshop elements 9 not reproducing avi video in organizer

Hello,
I have read different posts of people having problems to reproduce video media in PE organizer with different degrees of succes to solve it. In my case, I have just updated a computer to windows 7 - 64bit and after installing Photoshop Elements + Premiere Elements 9, I have discovered that avi videos cannot be reproduced in the Photoshop Elements Organizer anymore. These videos were reproduced with PE Organizer 8 under windows XP without problems (before the update) and they can now be reproduced perfectly well in the updated machine with Windos Media Player, Quicktime, VLC and even within Premiere Elements 9, but not in the Photoshop Elements Organizer. I have tried to install different codec packs, but nothing seems to work. What is more surprising is that those avi files can be reproduced within Premiere E. but not within the Phtoshop E. organizer.
If somebody can give a hint about a possible solution, it will be most appreciated.

My avi video files are no longer supported in PRE9? Help!

I created a movie in premiere elements 9 several months ago. My video was imported from avi files on my computer. The avi files were originally downloaded from my camera. Everything was fine and I even burned a near finished copy of my project on a DVD. Now, several months later, I open up the project to put my final touches on it and notice that all the avi video files are red in the timeline. On the organizer tab for my project under media type, it says, "offline". So, I clicked on the avi file and it asks me to find it. I find it (the files have not moved) and click on it and I get this error, "Error Message. This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." This is very strange. Do you have any ideas? My operating system is Windows 7.

I kind of suspected MJPEG (just a hunch, as two other CODEC's, commonly wrapped in an AVI, DivX and Xvid, seldom every play correctly to start with).
Now, there are many "flavors" of MJPEG. It is an older CODEC (or really type of CODEC, as there are so many versions), that was ressurected for use in mostly (then) stills cameras, with video capabilities added. It is not a bad CODEC, but each camera mfgr. has tweaked it for their purposes. This can create issues. MJPEG is not the "universal," that say DV-AVI Type II is. Canon will have a version, Nikon another and Panasonic yet another. They all show as MJPEG, but will be a bit different. A similar analogy can be drawn with Camer RAW files - Canon's differ from Nikon's, which differ from Panasonic's, though they are all Camera RAW. Also, Nikon, for instance, is constantly changing what is in their NEF (Camera RAW) files, so that the newest will require the latest release of Adobe Camer RAW (ACR), to be processed in Photoshop. MJPEG is similar to that, with fewer variations - but still individual variations.
Now, there could well be reasons that things have changed. The first one to strike me would be that you installed the software that came with that camera, and included its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, then later removed say the camera's utility, taking that specific version of MJPEG away. You might well have others, but PrE is having a hard time matching them up.
In that article I linked to on MJPEG, I mention two popular MJPEG CODEC's, Morgan and MainConcept. Both are rather generic MJPEG CODEC's, and when MJPEG resurfaced, they worked fine for most such files. However, as time has elapsed, and camera mfgrs. tweaked and tweaked, they are less likely to work 100%. Once, they were the "silver bullet" for MJPEG - but not so much any more.We began seeing more users, with either, or even both, still having issues with newer MJPEG CODEC's. As most camera mfgrs. ship a copy of their specific version, somewhere along with the camera, it became common practice to recommend installing that specific version from the specific camera's utility disc. Unfortunately, that was not always easy to do. Some included their version of MJPEG as a separate installation (best way, IMHO), but many incorporated it into the camera's driver installation (still good), and then there are those instances, where the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC is installed along with other utilities on the disc, such as maybe a little editing program, or a file cataloging utility. Scant mention is ever made of the specific MJPEG CODEC, and how it is installed on one's system. The latter method seems to be the most common now. I have the full utilities, including the camera's own editing programs, installed for my Canon, my Nikon and my wife's Panasonic. That means that I have at least five (think that the total count is eight on my workstation) MJPEG CODEC's: one for Canon, one for Nikon, one for Panny, one Morgan and one MainConcept.
What camera produced those MJPEG AVI files?
Do you have that camera's editing and cataloging utility installed?
Do you have the utility disc for that camera?
Have you removed any such editing, or cataloging utility, between the time that the files worked, and when they did not?
I do not believe that any version of PrE actually installs any version of MJPEG (could be wrong here), though they work with, and include various other MainConcept (mostly MPEG) CODEC's. That means that one will need to install an MJPEG CODEC, and the one specific to that camera, might be required.
You obviously do have an MJPEG CODEC (or more), installed in your OS. As there is a vast difference between playback of an AV file, and editing that same file, it could be that PrE is just not able to use the installed version, with those files. As it once was able to edit them, I am guessing that something has changed, and it could be as simple as cleaning out one of the supplied utilities for the camera, that also removed its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC.
As PrE does not install the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, many recommend not trying to edit such material. I am not of that mindset, but do allow that one might have to do some extra work (and work that is NEVER outlined in the camera mfgr's literature - unfortunately), to get things to work. I had to install a bunch of programs, that I will never directly use, just to be able to edit the MJPEG AVI's from my family's cameras, in both PrE and PrPro. I hate having to do that, as it fills up my HDD with stuff, that will otherwise never be used - but I need the specific CODEC, and it's only available to be installed WITH other software - all too common nowadays, and a mistake on the part of the camera mfgrs. IMO.
Good luck, and I hope that with the specific MJPEG CODEC, you will be back up and editing your footage, as you were once able to do.
Hunt
PS - sorry for writing an entire encyclopedia there, but MJPEG is not as simple as it could be.

Nikon D90 video + Premiere Elements 3 randomly works

I have Premiere Elements 3, and just started trying to work with the video from my D90. I have a problem that some of the D90 AVI video files import and are fine, and others give an error that they are corrupt or the codec may not be installed. All the files play in VLC and other players. So, they are not corrupt. Other threads talk about codec issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case here as some of the AVI files will important an play fine in premiere elements. It also doesn't seem to be a file size issue as some files of the same size will import and others won't, and some larger files (65 MB) will but some 5MB files won't. This includes video shot on the same day. So, nothing about the encoding was changing on the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
The only caveats with WMM as a conversion tool is that it Exports as DV-Type I, and not DV-Type II. There is a file size limitation on Type I's, that might, or might not come into play. Just be aware of it. Next, there are occassions where Type I's in Premire (both PE and PrPro), where there can be be OOS (Out Of Sync) issues. These are almost always constant OOS, and are easily corrected. Again, you may, or may not come into contact with these, but they can happen. These comments are really just H/U's, of things that one might need to look out for.
I would anticipate that the next iterations of both PE and PrPro will have native support for both the Nikon D-90 MJPEG's and the Canon 5D MK II's .MOV files, considering the popularity of both DSLR's as motion capture devices. This is speculation, but AVCHD was recently added, as was support for RED (in PrPro). One of the big differences with the support for RED was that they worked very, very closely with Adobe. Other mfgrs. just do their thing, and unless it's Sony, working closely with the Sony Vegas folk, and let the NLE programers catch up, after the cameras and their CODEC's are released.
Good luck, and please report on everything that you encounter. Everyone will be busy trying to see what will work, and what will not with both the Nikon and the Canon. All the info from the field will help.

Growing problem watching videos in Elements 7

I initially installed PSE5 and Premiere 3 as part of a package a couple years ago. At the time I was easily able to watch videos in Elements 5, including relatively unusual formats such as .m2t, as well of course as .avis.
I upgraded to PSE7 a few months back (no upgrade for Premiere however). Around about that time I found I could no longer watch or import .m2ts or .mp4s. I cant say for sure if it was at the time of the upgrade the problem occurred, as I hadn’t tried using either PSE5 or PSE7 for that purpose for a while.
Within the last week or so, I have found that I can no longer even view .avis. I definitely have been able to do so in PSE7 in the past. Now whenever I try, the whole of Elements will crash (one of the few times I have seen PSE7 do that). .
Other possibly relevant changes to my computer that have occurred over that time are the installation of Sony Vegas Movie Studio and some Pixela viewing software for that came with a Canon AVCHD Camcorder.
I appreciate that this could be a highly technical, highly tedious question dealing with codecs and the like. Any direct help would of course be fantastic, but barring that even some help on the basics as I try to sort it out would be great.
1. Is the viewer in PSE7 dependant in any way on having Premiere installed?
2. What other programs could possibly be interfering with PSE7s ability to show video? Is there a way to troubleshoot something like that without ‘Uninstall other software first….’
3. Is there a codec pack I can download or buy that would solve these issues? I don’t mind spending a bit more money, just want to get it to work.
4. Can anyone suggest a Photoshop Elements website or book that deals with video issues such as this, or have people who deal a lot in watching videos within PSE7 itself. Every time I try to search for PSE7 and ‘video’ or ‘movie’ I am inundated with links to generic training videos etc. And the 446 page Adobe PSE help PDF was no help, neither was Kelby’s PSE7 book. 99.999% of the info out there that I have been able to find deals with pictures not video. I understand most people use PSE7 for photos, but I like to use it to organize my videos as well.
Any help, any at all, that can be given, even if its just pointing me in the right direction, would be great.

Maybe there are compatibilty issue between the PSE7 and PRE3.Try upgrading PRE also.

No sound in my rendered MPEG video - Premiere Elements 8

I edited an .avi video... deleted some scenes, added some effects and titles. There is sound when I playback the edited video project in Premiere Elements 8. Then I rendered the file by selecting "shared to be viewed on personal computer" and selected MPEG file type. When I playback the rendered MPEG file in Windows Media Player, there is no sound! What is going on?    I am not a computer geek, just trying to convert some old videos.......    THANKS in advance for any suggestions you may have! gf

Thank you for the suggestion, Steve. I didn't know what other program to use...    I downloaded VLC and then played the vido in it.   It has audio. I still don't understand what this means.   Why won't it play on Windows Media Player? Is there   something "WRONG" with the rendered MPEG file?   If I burn this to a DVD will I be able to playback on a DVD player??
Also.... yes it was captured over a firewire from a Sony Video8 cam that had legacy playback. The original video was analog, recorded back in the 1980's.   I bought a more recent (90's?) Sony videocam on ebay, that had legacy playback in order to convert to .avi
Thanks for your help.    I am going to try to burn to DVD later today, and see if I can replay...

HT3775 How can I open an AVI Video with my MacBook Pro?? Do I need to do something special?

I need to know how to convert these AVI videos to MP4!! Some please help!?

You need a third-party tool like MPEG Streamclip or Aneesoft video converter for mac to convert avi to mp4.

How do I import AVI video with stereo audio (and keep it that way)?

Today I just discovered that all the AVI video with stereo audio I've ever imported into a Premiere Pro CS6 project has been mysteriously converted to mono. And I can't find any import setting anywhere that enable me to change this.
Here's the deal...
I've have an AVI file with stereo audio (the file is actually a stereo sound test that I downloaded to prove that I wasn't imagining things). On my hard drive, I right-click and view the properties:
Video
Length: 00:00:36
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 25 frames/second
Audio
Bit rate: 128kbps
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate: 44 kHz
I click on it to play and listen with headphones--everything is playing in the correct part of the stereo spectrum. Then, I import it to Premiere, click the file name in the left content menu, and check the properties, suddenly they read:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 1.1 MB
Image Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
Project Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 00:00:36:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Sure enough, I drag it into the sequence, listen to it, and it's indeed playing mono. Outside of Premiere, the original source file still reads and plays correctly with stereo sound.
When I import stereo WAVs and MP3s, it keeps the original stereo channels without me having to do anything special. I even just imported the same exact file as a MOV with stereo audio, and it showed up in Premiere as:
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
What is going on here with AVIs? Am I doing something wrong? Are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
(And before anyone suggests I only use MOV in the future... that's not exactly the answer I'm looking for.)

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,
Hunt

.avi video clip audio not working in premiere pro but play is windows media player

Hi all,
Using .avi video files. They play fine in windows media player. In premiere pro, the video plays fine, but there is no audio. When moved to a sequence, it builds an audio track, but it is silent. Any help is appreciated.

.AVI video not importing correctly. Imports as audio only.

System: window vista 64 bit
Project type: whatever the standard new project is at the startup screen
Problem: I am importing .avi video files and they are importing as audio only. it will not allow me to drag them into the video slot on the timeframe, and it displays only the speaker symbol in the media management area. Here's the funny bit. I used these files previously in another session June-July 2009, and they worked fine then. I am lost and need assistance!(PLEASE!!)
Stumped Like a Chump

If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

Status:
- Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
- I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
Problem:
- I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
Question:
- Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
- I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
Thanks for any help.

Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.
