Choppy video news clips

My video news clips play very choppy like and old foriegn film. Do I need to update or add a program perhaps?

I can't play yahoo news clips

I can play video clips from youtube, facebook, etc., but when I click on a video news clip on my yahoo home page, it tries, but does not play. Thank you for any help, I have tried all that I could find!

The player uses Flash video in the case of the ABC News, and QuickTime for the CNN Sports. There's a slight glitch when playing QuickTime in that you have to pause and play the video for it to start updating correctly. I can't easily tell what codec they're using, the video is save disabled, but I suspect you have a QuickTime that is recent enough to play the video.
For the ABC News clips, QuickTime shouldn't be involved at all. Make sure you haven't set QuickTime to play SWF content in your browser, because whether it's Sorenson Spark or On2 VP6 video, QuickTime won't cope with playing Flash movies that contain those.
Having said that, if the video is really FLV you might be able to play it using QuickTime by installing the Perian component (http://perian.org/). But I think that it would be much safer to just let Flash play Flash content.

Create a new clip for a new scene doesn't work on video import

For the last few months I cannot get i movie4 to import video with a new clip for each sequence. It will import the video as one only large clip although the button "create a new clip for a new scene" has been selected in the imovie preferences.
What can I do to solve this problem ?

Set the camcorder's clock. See also:

Importing video and automatic new clips

When I import video from my camera, iMovie automatically creates a new clip when it senses a point where the taping had been stopped and restarted. Is there a way to over-ride that feature so I get one continuous clip?

Hi
Yes and No
If You mean - that the import is divided in separate clips according to scene
shootings - then in iMovie pref You only unselect - import as individual clips.
If You mean that the movie divides because of broken timecode on Your tape
eg. by unloding tape from time to time - or - not using "End Searce" when
viewed Your tape so that the last scene will cont. with next shooting.
- No not as standard
To do this the Time-code has to be mended. To do this one has to:
• import the material into iMovie
• put a new tape into Camera (this tape should be pre-recorded with just anything
eg. a wall to get a continuous time-code
• export back to Camera
• Use this new tape with "import as individual clips" - still turned off
Camera to Camera is an alt. (still to a pre-recorded tape)

What settings for new clips in my project?

I have some new clips that I need to add to an existing project. The info for the existing project is
DV PAL anamorphic preset and the footage that has been imported and editited to the project was taken from my standard def DVD's and exported to quicktime using MPEG streamclip with these settings
*Compression: Apple DV-PAL*
*Frame-Size: 720x576*
*Frame-Rate: 25*
*Sound: Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz*
I have some new clips to add, which are HD and this is the info
Video Tracks:
h264, 1280 × 720, 30 fps, 9.69 Mbps
Is it best to use the same MPEG streamslips settings and export to Quicktime as per the original footage or is there a better way to preserve the higher quality of the HD file that will still work with the original footage in the project?
Many thanks

I have followed the steps above but the quality is noticably worse than the rest of my footage in the project. I wonder if I am doing it correctly or if I should start a new project?
I export from mpeg streamclip to Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC :Quality 100% 30 Frames Frame size 720 x 480
I then use JesDinterlacer to perform the standards conversion. I select output then export to quicktime movie and use these settings

Slow FPS, graphics and choppy video when connected to a Mini-DVI cable to external monitor on Macbook Mid2007 4GB RAM

Hi,
I have a Mid-2007 Macbook white. I have upgraded its memory to 4GB. Snow Leopard was working great, and I said to myself maybe it's time to upgrade to Lion.
After the upgrade all was well. However, a big problem occurs when I plug in to the Mini-DVI display port with the HDMI adapter, to connect to my Sony LCD HDTV. The whole graphics and video slow down, everything is choppy. Quicktime and VLC video playback is strobe and choppy looks like very low Frame Rate. Cannot watch anything, not HD nor low resolutions. The entire computer is slow when the cable is connected.
Things I tried:
*VGA adapter seems to work fine - it's the digital display output that probably causes that.
*Running it through a new user.
This never happened on Snow Leopard. i'm considering to go back. However, I am wondering if there is a way to fix this minor problem.

Update:
We solved the problem. Weird solution but now it seems to work. I plugged a VGA adpater and played with the screen rsolutions to try and watch a movie well on my LCD screen. I changed the screen resolutions but I couldn't revert back to the default settings. Pressing "Detect Displays" didn't do anything.
Here is the interesting part: When I placed back the DVI-HDMI adapter, suddenly everything worked fine!!! There was no choppy videos, no low fps, works prefect.
Something weird is going on here, but I'm happy I managed to get the DVI to HDMI to work because I was about to removie Lion and bring back Snow Leopard.

Video Lagging/Choppy videos on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I am having a problem while watching videos online: video lagging/choppy videos. Sometimes the video is stuck in a certain frame although I still have the sound on the background; sometimes the video slows down completely (frame+sound). It started around one month ago, and exists in several different websites, I couldn`t solve it by myself. I am not very good with computers. I tried to uninstall/reinstall flash player, as well as disable hardware acceleration, and the problem is still there. Also somedays the videos are working fine, and somedays they are all bad independent of websites. I tried to use different browsers (chrome/firefox/safari), but the problem persists.
I am using a Macbook Pro and bought it in the beginning of January this year (right now it is running OS X 10.7.4) with flash player version 11.2.202.235.
I would very much appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks.

mellskucukoglu, uninstall all adobe products then install Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Air, Adobe Shockwave Player. Make sure to select the operating system correctly behind the link. Turn off your antivirus till you finish installation as suggested below the webpage. If it still doesn't work check for OS X 10.7.4 updates.
If it still doesn't work then go for Adobe Live chat in this link http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html . Sometimes they are busy. If they can't help. Think about any changes that you made before this issue like installaling any new apps. Uninstall them. If it still doesn't work then install Adobe Flash Professional CS 6. After installing check for adobe updates and update them all. It should work at this point. If not ,watch this

Missing Video from clip when bringing into timeline

I'm currently editing a video and half-way through, I'm not sure what happened but now whenever I try to insert a clip from left-hand side clip selection into the timeline, there is a circle with a line through it when I try to place the video where my other video is. I can, however put it in the sound section - the sound works but no video. I've tried saving everything and restarting premiere, I've rendered the video, deleted the clips and put them into the selection, and even brought new clips from my computer in. Nothing has worked.
I'm using Premiere Pro CC and I am on a Mac. Is there any other information I need to provide? I feel that I've somehow changed a setting but I'm not sure what I've done.

Your track is probably not patched.

During Import, scene breaks are not starting new clip.

Imovie HD: When importing from my camcorder (Mini DV) scene breaks are not starting new clips. The video is going into one clip which I then have to manually split each scene into individual clips before editing.
My preferences are set to: Import/Start a new clip at each scene break=ON..
The last time I used Imovie4, this same thing occurred. Prior to that, in Imovie4, it worked as advertised.
Could it be my camera settings?? Panasonic PV-DV910

Problem solved.
I normally do not have the date and time displayed in the camera's viewfinder. So, I didn't realize that the date/time had been reset to 1998 and not active. After setting to date/time to the present, NEW recording - when imported - was being split into individual clips at the scene breaks.
However the previously recorded video would not.
My punishment for my lapse is to manually do the "split". But I am a much wiser videographer.

When capturing FCP makes new clips

When I am capturing from a tape, FCP creates a new clip every time I pressed stop and then start again on the camera to change my shot. There are no time code breaks in the tape but I don't know how FCP is creating a new clip every time I change my angles.
Please help.

My crystal ball says you shot HDV ... and this is how FCP works with HDV capture, because thats how your camera works. The problem is that every time you start/stop recording in camera you are creating a new and separate clip that is stored on tape, even though the timecode is contiguous the clips are separate MPEG2 data structure entities. During HDV capture FCP is just copying the MPEG2 data structures stored on tape onto your hard disc (and wrapping that data up as a Quicktime Movie in the process) and every time the it encounters a new clip in the data stream then thats what is created on your hard disc.
If you do not want this to happen then you can use an I/O device to facilitate capturing your footage from your camera via a video output instead of via firewire. Matrox make very affordable I/O hardware with some great features ... check out the MXO2 Mini. Blackmagic's Intensity card may not be as feature rich but offers superb value for money if you are working on a desktop system only.
Hope it helps explain things

Insert new clip cuts and splits the music track

Hi all FCE4 users!
My question is regarding when inserting a new clip on the timeline that has audio to it and when doing the insertion, the existing audiotrack on channel A3 & A4 are split and in between them on channel A1 and A2 the video audio is put.
How do I make this not happen?
I want the audio tracks just to mix, or in this case, I actually do not want ANY sound from the videoclips that I insert, because I am making sort of a music video.
Thankful for any kind of helpful answer!
Sincerely,
--Andreas B

Deselect audio to A1/A2 so the audio isn't edited into the timeline, and click on the lock buttons for tracks A3/A4.

Relinking new clips distorts image

Hello Final Cut Wizards!
I have a project that I'm working on for a client, and the previous editor did several things incorrectly which I am trying to fix. The timeline sequence settings didn't match the clip settings, and the footage was never converted from H.264 mov to Pro Res. I have converted all the footage to prores and made a new timeline sequence that matches the converted clips. My hope is to not have to rebuild the entire timeline from scratch. When I erase some of the old clips I can relink their corresponding new converted clips. HOWEVER, when I do this, either the aspect ratio of the new clip is messed up, (ie shows up smaller in the canvas and viewer, or with black bars on the top and bottom, and sometimes the video itself is flattened in its aspect ratio.) and it needs to be rendered constantly (just like when the original h.264 clips were in use).
Does anyone have any ideas on why this could be, or how I can still use the sequence project plan without rebuilding it?
Thanks!!

Hi MtD,
Thanks for your attention and help!
The first editor had put the 1920x1080 h264 clips into a sequence set to 720x480.
The client has given me footage that is both 23.98 fps and 29.97 fps,all 1920X1080 h264. now that it's converted it's all apple pro res 1920x1080 (some in 23.98, some in 29.97). When I put one of the new converted clips into a new sequence, I clicked yes, make the sequence settings the same as the clip settings.
I am confused as to why it says HDTV 1080i becuase I'm fairly certain in mpeg stream clip I selected 1920 x 1080 16:9. Would the 1080i be causing problems?
Would the differing frame rates? It doesnt seem like these should affect the aspect ratio?
Here is a screen shot of a clip that I put into the project file on the new timeline with the new converted clip. It is smaller than the full canvas and also distorted in it's aspect ratio.
I'm confused (And sleepy!)
Thanks in advance for any further guidance!

Automatic new clip at each scene break iMovie08

I wish to import a completed movie into iMovie08 and share it. Unfortunately iMovie starts a new clip whenever there is a change in the time code. Then to make things worse it appears to sort the clips into time code order. I wish to import the whole movie as one clip as the movie has already been edited etc and is complete. As in iMovie HD is there an option which allows you to stop iMovie08 splitting the movie into separate clips.
David

Thanks for your response. I did resolve the problem by capturing the video with Final Cut Express then exporting to QT and then to iMovie08 which to my mind was a long winded way of doing it. I have since discovered that I could also have capture the video on QT thus leaving out Final Cut Express.
Perhaps it is not possible to do what I wanted todo and that was using iMovie08 for a seamless result.
Thanks again
