Can't import flip video - Premiere freezes

I'm using CS3 Premiere Pro, and am trying to import a flip .mp4 clip that is 1.07GB and roughly 30 min in length.  When I try to import the clip - Premiere just freezes and I have to end the process. I've never had a problem like this before, and while I recently upgraded cameras to one that's 60fps - I have no problem importing shorter clips.  I've searched, but have not seen any info on file size limits. Would appreciate any help - thanks!!!

Candygirl,
Can you please give us a bit more information.
Knowing about your computer, the CPU, installed RAM, OS and especially the full details of your I/O, i.e. all of your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type amount of free space on each, plus how you have them allocated.
Then, knowing the settings for your Sequence would be useful, along with the full specs. of the Flip's MP4 files, would be useful.
Good luck, and thanks for that info,
Hunt

  • Can't import Flip video, getting error -2000

    I'd like to view a number of videos made with a Flip Mino HD with an iPod Touch. I'm trying to convert them into iPod format using iTunes 10.0.0.68 on a Windows 7 computer. The videos are 1280x720 mp4.
    I can play the videos in iTunes. Altough iTunes is a VERY SLOW player for these files. Other players on this machine (windows media player, vlc, etc) play the videos perfectly. This is a quad-core 3gHz box with 4gb of RAM, so it's not like it's resource-deprived. MP4 videos do require a lot of processing power, but like I said, other players have no trouble at all. iTunes, however, halts and stutters. Other players use about 17% of CPU for these, itunes needs 30% or more. That's not directly relevant to the issue here, just an observation. Anyway...
    I can select a video track and then use Advanced->Create iPod or iPhone version. A 'Converting...' icon appears in the left sidebar and the track begins converting. I've tested this with a variety of clips. Even the simplest 22 second clip fails. It's about 29mb in size. I've tried it both from a local drive and from a network share. Same problems. The conversion progress bar appears to get around 75% complete and then it shows this error:
    Error occurred while converting the file "2009-12-05 13 16 26". An unknown error occurred (-2000).
    What does error -2000 mean in this context?
    Where does iTunes create the converted files? What naming does it use for the newly converted movie?

  • Importing Flip Videos .avi

    I can play the flip videos fine from quick time. Now when I go to import movie, imovie 2009 doesn't recognize or show a file in the event library. How can I fix this problem?

    Did you install the required Flip 3ivx codec?
    The installer is located inside your Flip Camera:
    _*FLIPVIDEO/System/INSTALL/Macintosh 3ivx installer.dmg*_
    BTW, perhaps the reason QuickTime is able to play the ".AVI" files is because you have a "3rd Party codec" installed in one of these folders:
    /Library/QuickTime
    or
    *_/Users/ "your-username" /Library/QuickTime_*
    (Here is the list of possible culprits: Perian, Divx or Xvid)

  • Can you import movie videos from SD camera card

    Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.

    To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
    All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
    for example
    DCIM
    MOV_5789.mp4
    You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there.

  • Can I import a video from Final Cut Pro

    I'm doing a :45 sec. video clip in Final Cut and Kinemac for a local church. They want pre-recorded backround music that fades out at the end. Can I import this video into GB for the music..
    Thanks.
    NN

    What do you mean by "this video"? The FCP file? No, but any rendered version: Show the video track in GB and pull the video over.
    The question is: Why would you want to do this? If it's just about fading out the music, as you write, FCP will happily do that for you.

  • How can I import youtube videos to iMac mediathek ?

    How can I import youtube videos to iMac mediathek ?

    The problem with this question is that Youtube forbids downloads according to their terms unless there is a download option offered, so, in order not to violate the terms of these forums, we are not allowed to discuss such matters.

  • Can't import some video's

    Ik can't import all video's in my itunes library. I can import some of them. Can somsone tell me what kind of format, numer of bits, and so on what the video should have to import it?
    Greetz

    Well iTUnes does not support .AVI files. When you try to add a corrupt file or a file format not supported by itunes to its library, Instead of giving you a message why its not being added, it simply does nothing, does not add the file nor give you any message
    A good place for you to start would be here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758#3

  • Importing flip video

    what is the best format to import flip videos to imovie '11.  choices are AVI, MPG-4, Quicktime

    Probably QuickTime will give you the most flexibility. I've got an older first gen. Flip mino and that saved into an AVI file encoded internally as an .mp4 format called 3ivx. So I would have to install the 3ivx QuickTime add-on to get the video to playback and import. I think though that the files stayed as a .AVI file.

  • Can't import .mxf video files in Premiere CS5

    Hi all!
    I've just installed Premiere CS5 and imported some .mxf files to a project. But premiere just recognizes the audio tracks, it don't recognizes the video one.. it's like it was a simple audio file.. and i can see the video outside premiere.. anyone knows why is this happening?
    With cs4 i never had this problem.
    Thanks in advance!
    André Inácio

    Assuming you're not using the trial version :
    if you can't import XDCAM EX files using the Media Browser, which will only import what Premiere needs, then there is something wrong with your installation.
    PPro CS5.02 woks with all flavors of XDCAM EX files including those from the 350/320 cameras.
