CS4 - No video showing, just audio

Apologies for any code errors, posting on a iPhone!  Anyway, after a small rage on Twitter, I was redirected here from the adobe account and was invited to post for help, so here I am!  Basically, I've imported various files into Premiere and each time it's only showing the audio and not the video. I've tried .avi, .mov and .mp4 and they all don't work! I've also tried the small box above the preview box (3rd one across) and changed the RGB thing after reading something on google!  Any help would be appreciated, I need to edit a 1 minute piece for Uni tommorow so am in a big rush!  Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
The most likely cause of such issues is either the lack of the Video CODEC, needed to play those files, or the inability of PrPro to use that CODEC to edit those files. The first things that pop into my mind are that they contain the DivX, or Xvid CODEC, or perhaps MJPEG. For the first two, conversion is the only answer, or to use another editing program, that can work with DivX, or Xvid. For the latter, the installation of the MJPEG CODEC will get you up and editing.
See this ARTICLE on CODEC's.
See this ARTICLE on "wrappers," for AV files.
See this ARTICLE on MJPEG, if G-Spot, or MediaInfo (linked in the above article) tells you that it IS the MJPEG CODEC.
Let us know what G-Spot, or MediaInfo have to say about those files, and someone can point you in the right direction.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Can u convert a video into just audio?

    can u convert a video into just audio so i can play it on my nano

    Hi,
    thanks Stefan Maric and wew64.
    in the RTPSocketAdapter.java of the 'Implementing Custom Data Sources and Media Handlers' example I can take the groups of bytes previous to they where send for UDP.
    My Idea its take this bytes, make groups of 259 bytes and send them over the ISDN. In the Clients side recover this information and make groups with the original size (that I must send with the video information over my ISDN connection) and send them with UDP to the same host and receive with a regular JMF application.
    I am not sure if I will have problems with the synchronize of the video and audio doing this process, any idea??
    Thanks a lot

  • Problem: Videos with just audio.

    The videos I have on my iPod now just play the audio and are now organized in my "music" menu. I had a season of two different tv shows that were in my iPod as two seperate Video Playlists to organize them. They worked fine for months until recently I noticed them in with my music artists. I go to play a video and it just gives me audio and no video. The video playlist are now also just audio playlists. When I click on the videos in iTunes they play fine, but I noticed there is no longer the little TV icon next to each video. I believe I recently update to a new version of iTunes...is that the problem?

    What I discovered the problem was that, I lost my video capabilites on my movie tracks when I plugged my iPod up to a computer that was using an earlier non-video version of iTunes, converting the .mp4s to just audio tracks. I have not however, short of pulling the videos off and re-importing them my iPod via a newer version of iTunes, figured out a way to convery them back in iTunes.

  • Video Podcasts - just audio no video

    I subscribe to a couple video Podcasts, but don't view them often. But one popped up that looked interesting so I tried and only got the audio.The video window did not open.
    I checked an older video that came with a purchased album and again, the sound played but the video did not open.
    No Video just Audio. Any thoughts?
    I'm running iTunes 10.6.1
    Lion 10.7.3
    PowerBook 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

    PS - I should mention that both the podcast and the music video played in the distant past, but I can't remember when I last tried to view them. Could be several versions of iTunes ago, certainly not since upgrading to Lion.

  • HT204291 Can't get video signal just audio when streaming from my iPhone

    Has anyone at this community has heard of this? If yes please reply if you have a solution.

    Since New Years Eve, I have spent  nearly 15 hours with senior support advisors on this issue. Trust me, I've tried everything. Once it downloads on Apple TV all I get is AUDIO. The trailer will play fine, all the other apps on Apple TV play fine. The only thing I'm having trouble with is movies RENTED FROM ITUNES ON APPLE TV and MOVIES RENTED ON ANY IOS device. Not just mine, I've tried using my Apple ID on other people IOS devices but the movies download but won't start. I have one purchased movie that will play fine on any platform, but not rented movies.
    There are no error messages, all setting have need restored, reset, and reset again by THREE senior advosors. I don't know how to explain it any cleatee than
    this.. sorry to be short, but I don't see any Apple tech people making any type of effort to remedy the problem.

  • Have audio but video is just a green screen

    whenever i try and watch a video it will give me the audio but wont show the video it just comes up a green screen and thats it. please help!

    Hi,
    Try the following first.
    Start a video playing.
    Right click on the video ( green screen ) and select Settings.
    Remove the tick from the box next to 'Enable Hardware Acceleration' and then click close.
    Refresh the current page and see if the video now plays Ok.
    If the above fails to correct the issue, try a clean installation of the flash plugin/ActiveX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
    Regards,

  • How do I use just the audio from a clip in imovie? No picture, no video, just audio!

    I want to put the audio from a clip at the end of the video. No video, just black screen

    It will require a bit of a workaround. But it can be done. If you enable Advanced Tools under the iMovie Preferences (Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences). Enable Advanced Tools by clicking the checkbox.
    Now create  a title with a black background by dragging at title to the end of the video on the Project timeline. Once the title is there, delete all the text on the title. Now drag that black background directly dead center onto the video clip just before the end where you want to 'blot out' the video and just have audio. When you release the mouse, you will be shown a pop-up menu with a bunch of different options including one titled cut-away. Choose this option. What will happen is the video will cut to the black video background you dragged on top of the video clip. You can set the duration by dragging the left and right edges out further to make it run longer. This black back ground effectively cover the video and will continue to play the audio of the underlying video clip.

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • I make videos using my go pro hd camera, but when i export it only half of my 3 min video shows up with the audio playing in the background, plus when i try to select the quality in the export options it won't let me select 720p or 1080p?????? help!!!

    What you could do now is break up your video into smaller parts and render them out, then assemble them again as a whole.
    I know this is not the best fix, but it might work.
    You can duplicate an edit in the main screen, then delete the last bits and export,
    do the same for the other half.
    Then import the two bits (or more if you need) in a new edit.
    Out of curiosity, can you post what format the video is in?
    Copy a video straight from the camera to your computer.
    Open it in Quicktime player, and with out playing type Apple + i
    or Control + i for PCs
    It should tell you lots of info about the video, and might help us to see what is wrong.
    This is what it looks like:

  • Exporting Pro CS4 videos to different mpeg formats-no video or separate audio file???

    I have Premiere Pro CS4. When I export my video to mpeg-4 format, there is no video. When I export to mpeg-2DVD format, there is a separate wav audio file. Adobe Media Encoder, which I use automatically as the export encoding software, does not seem capable of combining the audio and video files into a single video. Export to mpeg-2 format works fune. When I try to export a 1 hr 20 min video in H.264 1440 x 1080 config, it is a 10GB file. I want the best quality that will fit on  4.7 GB or 8.5 GB media. What am I missing ?

    Best thing is to use Dynamic Link/(Send to Encore. Set Encore to automatic and your movie will fit nicely on a dvd.
    If you do not want to use DL then export from Premiere with the mpeg2-dvd settings (choose one of the presets or set it manually) with Multiplexing OFF.
    Don't forget to set Use Max Render Quality ON.
    This output will give you three files. m2v, wave and xmpses (and maybe a xmp file)
    Import the first two as a timeline in Encore, make menu and burn.
    Using a seperate video file and audio file is the way to go for making a dvd. If you set multiplexing to on then you will get one file containing video and audio.
    Encore has to dumux (or demultiplex, separating video from audio) before being able to make the disk. Waist of energy.

  • Can I turn video off & just play audio

    I just upgraded from an Ipod classic 80gb to a Ipod Touch 4g 32 GB. I listen to my ipod everyday at work. Sometimes I get tired of listening to music & will put a movie on & listen to it. On my old Ipod I had the option to turn off the video & only listen to the audio by changing the TV out to (ask). Then before a movie came on I had the option to choose whether to have video & audio or just audio. Is there a way to do this on the Ipod Touch 4g? I enjoy listening to movies but if the video will be playing it will drain my battery quickly.
    Thanks in advance.

    my iphone 5s was stolen and i gps d it and found where it was but they turned it off and denied it and i googled how to open iphone 5s without passcode and a youtube video showed how, so now i am out of a phone that i just paid 300 dollars for because i dropped my last 5s and the glass shattered and i didnt have any insurance. so now it seems like i am out again. i was sold on the fact that the fingerprint sensor would stop that from happening but they can just reset the phone and have it as theirs new. is there anything i can do to get my phone back.

    If you set up your phone correctly, it is still protected by the Activation Lock and can be used without knowing your AppleID and password.
    Here are some more things about that:
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    How do you turn off or cancel Lost Mode?
    You can turn off Lost Mode by entering the passcode on your device. You can also turn off Lost Mode on iCloud.com or from the Find My iPhone app.

    Thanks but I found my problem. It was easy oncew I found out the flask player was also called shockwave. My shockwave add-on was disabled. I'm not certain what caused the condition. I was good one day and not getting the error messages the next day. But, I know what to look for in the future if it reoccurs. Thanks again.
