Can't import .avi files and I have Pro

Ok... I bought Quicktime Pro about 3 years ago and after they updated to the next version, it wouldn't import my FlaskOut.avi from the program FlaskMPEG. It states something like "Quicktime doesn't have the software to view this file. Unfortunatly, it's not on the Quicktime website." I never had a problem with this until I upgraded to the next version. I re-installed the old version and put in the Key but that version doesn't work anymore either. I need to import these to place trailers on my website. Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro again? And if I do will I be able to import these files then? If it won't work, do you know I program I could use? Thanks guys.

You need to install Perian.

    Hi there - Okay,,I'm a real Noob,,but I can't understand why I can't import .AVI files when apparently I should be able to. I have just purchased a Toshiba Camelio S20 and have taken some test movie shots and when I've tried to open them in iMovie or just open them in finder I get the following message

    The Quicktime player I'm using is Version 10 and I'm working with MacOS X V 10.6.4.
    What am I doing wrong ?
    Pls help ?

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?

  • I cant import any files and dont have any on my cloud, what can I do?

    I just got ADOBE PRO and have no files saved online. I am trying to import a document into a form but it wont let me.

    Hi,
    I would like to inform with Adobe FormsCentral, you can only import PDF files or a design file.
    Please let us know the type of file you are trying to import and share a screenshot of error received; if any.

  • Can not import avi files into pse12 catalog

    I am wondering if any one else is having an issue with importing avi (video files from my Nikon D5000) into the PSE 12 catalog.
    Running windows 7 SP1 with all updates.
    Camera is a Nikon D5000
    file type is AVI
    Every time I go to import an avi file (either from my SD card or from my HDD) organizer comes up with the message that it has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution.
    I do not shoot much video so it is not a large concern but it used to work in previous versions of PSE.
    Any and all help with this issue is appreciated.

    In many instances, a utility software will be bundled in with the camera purchase. Installing that utility software might bring along with it codecs that are needed to work with the video on the computer and in the program. If you do not see or have such a utility software, so much for that idea. If you go after this from the MotionJPEG codec angle, the Morgan MotionJPEG codec has been available online as tryout (later purchase).
    http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/morgan/php/products.php?sProductId=5&sProductSub=download s
    See
    M-JPEG-2000 Codec v3 (32 bit and 64 bit) and the associated tab for "Download - trial/demo".
    But, could you clarify on
    As soon as I move the avi file off of the sd card the import works.
    Given you have the .avi file on the SD card, what is the path to the point where the import works?
    That is, where are you moving the .avi file to as it leaves the SD card? Surely not to the hard drive since you wrote.
    Also if I go to my hard drive where I saved the avi file and try to import it all by itself, it fails.
    I wonder if you are saying that you take it through a route which includes the Video Importer.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

  • Getting error message on import that says can't import jpeg files and won't import

    why can't I import from the camera that I always use with my iPhoto? On connecting the camera, error message says "can't import jpeg files."  None of my camera settings have changed.  Is it a problem of connectivity with old camera and new iPhoto '11?

    Not an old camera problem - most likely a memory card format problem - when was the last time you reformated yoru card?
    What camera do you have? Does image capture work?

  • Can't import .avi files?

    I'm trying to record my screen using a program called Debut by NCH Software, but this program only saves the video as .avi.  Then when I try to import it into Premiere, I get a dialogue box saying "Add media failure" and "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed."  This is confusing to me, because .avi is listed as one of the supported video formats.  So what can I do to use this type of file?
    Also, I'm a little disappointed in this customer support system... just saying.

    AVI is just a file extension for a file. It is the format that wraps the video and audio components of the file. And, that file could contain a variety of different
    compressions. So, not all AVI are created equal. And, it not uncommon for screen capture programs to offer formats that are not compatible with Premiere Elements.
    One example...AVCHD is a supported video compression and AVI is a supported container/wrapper format. But, when the are in the same file, AVCHD.avi is not compatible
    with Premiere Elements.
    If the output from your screen capture program is not compatible with Premiere Elements and it is the only output offered then
    a. you use another screen capture program if you want to use Premiere Elements as your video editor of the file
    or
    b. you convert the capture program's output into another format that is compatible with Premiere Elements
    or
    c. you consider a video editor other than Premiere Elements..
    I am recalling a prior thread a while back about Debut and its .avi file and Premiere Elements. I will see if I can find it and
    see what the outcome of that issue was.

  • Can not import MXF files into Final Cut Pro

    I am full of anger and frustration!!! I purchased final cut pro only to find out that it WILL NOT import MXF files. How insane is that? ADOBE - NO PROBLEM. Then I had to go back to YOUR STORE and buy two different file converter applications before I found one that worked. Now FINAL CUT PRO will only import the audio segment of converted files after converting to PRORES in PAVTUBE. Are you BUCKING kidding me? This work flow BLOWS. Why the FELL does this have to be sooooo hard!  I am gone to creative cow and other forums to try to find out why I am sooo stupid that I can't get this simple process sorted out. YOU BUCKING MONEY MACHINE! How many more aps will I have to buy before I can edit CANON XF100 files in Final Cut Pro. BUCK politics! You should make your software with plugins that would allow you to edit without this kind of added step. JUST LIKE ADOBE. I want refunds for my final cut pro purchase. This is BUCKING rediculous. What a waste of time!

    There is definite upside to dragging one's feet on upgrades until necessary and this is a prime example. On a desktop running 10.6, and the XF Utility, FCP 7 L&T works reliably. And like you, that's my workflow for FCPX projects. Running 10,7 on a laptop, the EOS plug-in works well for FCPX imports – no workarounds needed. When I finally get around to updating, I will partition the HD, with one SL partition and the other partition with a later OS. Of course this strategy will work only as long as my hardware holds up.

  • Importing .avi files and PE7 turns them into audio files...

    Why does it do this and what do I need to do in order to have PE7 treat them as regular video files for editting?
    (I'm using Downloader to pull videos from youtube and import them into PE7 to produce a disk.)

    First, do not worry, PrE7 has not harmed your files. It is just that it can only get to the Audio portion of those files, so that is all that it can display. They are still intact.
    Now, with many file formats, and AVI in particular, much can be inside that file. This ARTICLE will give you some background.
    With just the Audio coming through, my guess would be that the files are encoded using either DivX, or Xvid, as this is a very common problem. You can check this out with G-Spot, also mentioned in the linked article.
    If the files play on your computer, then you likely have the necessary CODEC, unless you're using MediaPlayer Classic or VLC Player, as they have their own CODEC systems.
    Steve's advice to convert these files is the best course of action. You may need to get the CODEC and install it (again, G-Spot will tell you exactly what you will need and if its installed on your computer). I do not know if Prizm has its own CODEC's but would assume that it uses those installed on the computer.
    Good luck,

  • Can't import avi file

    I have some video shot in 1080p but I can't import them into Premiere. They are H.264 .avi files. How do I troubleshoot this? I installed a codec pack for Windows 7 that was supposed to solve the problem.
    Thanks for you help.

    My system [no overclocking]: 
    CPU: I7-940@ 2.93
    GPU: GTX 680 FTW 2 GB 
    Mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 
    RAM: 24GB [6 x 4 GB] Kingston Hyper X DDR3 1600
    PSU: Corsair 750TX 750 W 
    Window 7 Pro 64

    As we are seeing more cameras (mostly lower-end consumer models) adopting this non-standard arrangement, I would guess that when this movement reaches some critical mass, Adobe will retool the code to look for H.264 in an AVI wrapper. Until that time, Jeff Bellune's workaround is probably as good as it gets.
    Not sure why someone thought this scheme was a good idea, but it does seem to be gaining some momentum. I speculate that those camera mfgrs. really do not anticipate their customers would want to edit the footage, and soome probably even include some form of NLE with the cameras.

  • Can't import .avi files into Captivate 4

    I need some help, I'm getting really frustrated.  My project consists of about 10 short movies (2-3 minutes each) with quiz questions between the movies.  The movies were produced in Adobe Premiere Elements 2 and exported as .avi files.  When I go to import the files, I get this error:  "This AVI file cannot be converted into a Adobe Flash file.  Conversion aborted."
    I have tried converting the .avi files into .flv files (using Flash Video Encoder CS3), but that doesn't work for us for two reasons.  Captivate won't display the .flv files while in edit mode; it will only play them after the entire project has been produced.  After the project has been produced, however, the video of the .flv displays, but the audio from ALL of the .flv files in the project plays at the same time, rendering all of the dialogue unintelligible.
    I have been trying to solve this problem for a couple of weeks now, but I'm not getting anywhere.  Is there a specific codec I should be trying to use here?  Is there another process I should be using?  Is there a way that I can resolve the .flv issues?

    I'm OCD about this sort of stuff, too!
    I just insert my .avi files as animations, and that seems to work fine, so I'm no help there.
    I don't know enough about codecs to even comment. *sigh*
    And, my problem with .flv's has always been the other way around. When I insert an .flv, it always asks for the absolute path (like C:\Videos\VideoName.flv). Then, right before I create the .zip to upload to the LMS, I have to edit the path to VideoName.flv, and then check to make sure the file is on the .zip root, otherwise it won't play on the LMS 'cause it "can't find the file."
    Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, but if you're like me, at least you can get your work done while this eats into your mind and eventually drives you crazy. *grin*

  • HT204382 I can't open .flv files and I have OS X Lion 10.7.5

The message when I try to open from Safari "The document "GetClean_400.flv" could not be opened.  The movies' file format isn't recognized." I have Adobe Player and I have Quick Time but for some reason it will not recognize and open.   Do I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion?  If so, will my Mac support?

  • Cataloging Archive Drives And Can Not Import RAW files from Kodak DCS Pro

    Tried with bridge and photoshop and they will not open  DCR file
    How can I convert this file to a DNG...do I need to go old school and download a older version of camera RAW or go to an old MAC te a os that supports Kodak's DCS host software

    There is a separate DNG converter tool from Adobe, whichnyouncan download as freeware.
    No idea though if this does support your special raw format.
    This is often used to help people with LR3 but newer cameras, which are supported in LR4.x only.
    Going for an older camera raw version will not solve anything, since older formats are always readable by newer versions (provided the file is uncorrupted).

  • .avi files and Final Cut Pro/Express

    A friend of mine, a PC users, has a Cinemate film to video converter <http://www.moviestuff.tv/c_15.html>, and has digitized some footage for me. He saved it using three different systems: Scenalyzer, Vegas and Pinnacle. Each outputs a .avi file, which he put an a portable USB drive.
    The files import into Final Cut (Express), but with this 'warning':
    'The following media files are not optimized for Final Cut Express HD.
    It is highly recommend that you recapture the media to create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multi-stream playback.'
    They seem to playback, and the images 'appear' bring and sharp, so I don't really know what the warning means.
    He does have the choice, when he captures, to save the files not as .avi -- his systems default -- but as NTSC DV files.
    Would that be the preferred option? Or, put another way, what would be the best format for import into Final Cut Pro or Express?
    Thanks,
    Hal

    <<You may want to invest in a software converter (flip4mac, for example) that will ingest your avi files into FCP.>>
    This may turn out to be an option, but it isn't that FCPro won't accept the avi files; it's just that it gave me this warning that I didn't understand. If, as a previous posting said, it's just telling me that this wasn't imported via Final Cut, then 'no big deal'. If it's telling me something else, that's yet to be discovered.
    <<If your friend saves the files as DV NTSC, they will still give you that warning when you bring them into FCP. DV NTSC may mean DV stream, which will have to be demuxed (the audio & video are mixed together) and is not easily editable. However, QT pro can demux these files for you.>>
    It'll be an interesting 'experiment', and I'll be sure and post the results.
    Curiously enough, iMovie imports these same files without blinking, and seems to convert them on the fly as it were to .dv files, with no apparently loss of quality. These can then be imported into FCPro/Express.
    <<About the only thing that doesn't give a warning are files captured using FCP ....>>
    If that's all it's tell me, that I didn't capture these using FCP, then I guess I could say it's telling me something I already knew. <grin>
    Thanks for the input.

  • Can't import mov files into Final Cut Pro

    I can't seem to import some .mov files into FCP.  The codecs showing in "info" for the files are DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode.  I have other files which I can import into FCP and they show the exact same codecs in their info page.  I have no trouble opening either in Quicktime.

    What is the origin of these files?  You may want to use QT or Compressor to re-encode them to the same codec.  Possbily they are very old QT versions.  But yes, where did they originate from?
