Distorted videos after import

When i imported videos from my iphone it made them flat and wide making the video look distorted. I've changed the aspect ratio to each of the suggestions and nothing makes a difference

Just guessing here...
When making movies with your iPhone, be sure to hold it in Landscape mode (not vertical).
If your movies are vertical, they will be tall and skinny with a black border, or they will have the top an bottom cropped off and fill the screen. You can toggle between these two options by using the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool on the middle toolbar. Drag a clip into your project. Then select CROP to cut off the top and bottom, or choose FIT to make it tall and skinny.
Avoid all this by shooting in landscape mode.

Distorted video after importing to iMovie 09

Please HELP!
After converting a video into .mp4 format (that i can edit it in iMovie 09) and importing it to iMovie 09 I get completely distorted video; the picture is squeezed & the sound is not synchronized.
Before i made a lot of similar videos & everything was ok.
When I try to use precision editor, it doesn't help that much, i still see bad syncr. of sound and bad picture.
Please help me, cause the video is great & i need to edit it.
Am i using the wrong importing or converting format?
If so, which do you recommend instead?
The one I always use is: APPLE TV MPEG-4 720x432 (*.mp4)
These are the properties of the converted video:
Video ID: 0x2
Format: xvid
Resolution: 720x432
Frame rate: 30.00 fps
Bit Rate: 1501 kbps
Total length: 00:25:15
Audio ID: 0x1
Format: AAC
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: 2
Bit rate: 127 kbps
Is there perhaps just a simple trick that I can use so that it automatically fixes this problem?
Any answer is welcome!!!
Please be fast with the answer!!!
Thank You
p.s. you can answer to my email as well: [email protected]

Elements Organizer (v12) not displaying AVCHD video after import

I installed Premiere Elements 12 on my Windows 8 (x64) computer. After I import a MTS (AVCHD) video from either my camera and/or my hard disk,the audio plays but no video is displayed. The MTS file (video + audio) work fine in every other program on my computer, including the Premiere Elements video editor. The only place it doesn't work is in Elements Organizer. I can even preview the video in the "Get Videos and Pictures from Files and Folders" import window from Organizer.
After importing the MTS file into the video editor, I exported it to AVCHD and tried importing the Premiere created AVCHD file in to Organizer but no luck.
Seems like there's some kind of plug-in issue, but I can't find any info on that. The codec must be fine, because the MTS file play everywhere else.
Appreciate any help/insight.

Thank you so much! Although it's not exporting quite as clear as before, it's much, MUCH better now that I've corrected the timeline dominance - I'd say 95% better; and it will be re-compressed by my clients for web streaming so it doesn't need to be perfect - but the initial quality was garbage.
I suspect when I exported my T2i footage as a ProRes file, than imported into After Effects, then back into FCP something happened along the way that messed up the quality slightly. Although the only difference in my method between FCP5 and 7 was converting to ProRes; which I only did for editing purposes as the native T2i footage needs to be rendered... which ended up being redundant as all my After Effects work needed to be rendered anyway. Ho hum.
Do you think the ProRes conversion could account for the quality loss? It wasn't just the footage that was grainy/fuzzy, it was also the After Effects graphic work, which is why I didn't think the converstion could be the culprit. Hm. I'll have to look into this more!
Thanks again - and so sorry for my delayed reply, I went on vacation shortly after I posted that message and only just got back to this project now

Distorted video after export

Hello.
I have exported a video using AVCHD mp4 format. 25 fps. 1280x720 px. Aspect "Square Pixels(1.0) 1:1. Both tried CBR and VBR. With target bitrate 1.6 Mbps. See the attached pic for settings. And also see the distorted video problem I have. Can you please help me with correcting the export settings? Thanks.

The image of the lady shows interlace artifacting and that doesn't make sense since the export was progressive and that should deinterlace the footage. One thing to check, I see that Aspect Ratio is set to "Custom", this ought to be 16:9 so please try that. Also just noticed "TV Standard" is set to "NTSC", should be "PAL" for 25fps video.
Perhaps you should take a step back. What is the intended delivery format? There are a ton of H.264 presets and most of them willl yield good results. You have everything customized and that is likely the issue. I would start with a decent preset and see what that does before you change things around.
Thanks

Green distorted video when imported

Several times I've run into a problem with importing .mp4 filetypes. It doesn't happen with every mp4.
They play fine in Movie Maker and VLC. When I import them, they are usually green with pink and very distorted. I've tried Rendering them and it results in the same distortion. I've tried saving them in Movie Maker first and that usually results in the audio disappearing but the video will be clear, plus it makes me feel very foolish for spending the money on Premiere if I have to filter it through another program first.
I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a relatively powerful PC. i7, 32gb ram, win8.
After doing a lot of research I'm really not sure what I should try next. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I need to think about this some more. But, what you could try is renaming just the file extension of the file...
mp4 to .mov
mp4 to .avi
mp4 to .mpg
mp4 to .m2t
mp4 to .m2ts
It looks like you have AVCHD video compression and AAC audio compression with the .mp4 wrapper. Those should be compatible, unless there is some sort of special codec involved.behind the AVCHD tag?
Conversion to another format may be the answer, but let us see. Movie Maker was going to be my first choice, but then I saw that you tried that and found it helped the video but not the audio.
When you are getting this pink green representation in Premiere Elements, did you say the sound was unaffected or not?
More tomorrow.

Low quality video after import from After Effects in FCP 7, but not FCP5

Hi everyone,
I trying to export a video from final cut pro. This video has motion graphics I built in After Effects, as well as footage from my T2i camera. I then took it into FCP to drop in audio and edit all my elements together.
When I exported a 30 second preview a few days ago in FCP5, the .mov file retained the quality of the export from AE and looked great - no quality lost, smooth animations, high quality video.
However, I then upgraded to FCP7, and now the quality is lower and the video components are a bit grainy when I export using the same settings. I've tried tweaking the settings, different ways of compression, but nothing is giving me the same clean export. I've even tried changing the sequence settings and putting my footage back down.
The only other thing that's different is I compressed my T2i footage to ProRes422 before taking it into After Effects, however even the 15 seconds of original footage I didn't compress is grainy now (and so is the original and new graphic work) so I don't think that's it. When I change the timeline sequence settings, I can get it looking good in the preview - but as soon as I render it or send it to compressor it loses quality again.
The ONLY differently between the two exports was upgrade Final Cut, but that doesn't make any sense to me. I've even tried reopening the preview FCP file (which then asks me to update the file to FCP7) and when I do it exports grainy as well - and NOTHING else has changed in that file or the export settings since my initial export of a 30 seconds preview.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue may be? Or, what settings I can use to retain the quality when exporting?
Thanks,
Lauren

Weird issue (can't see all video after importing to FCP)

Dear board members!
I have a number of files, which were digitized with FCP. Due to a high number of timecode breaks, they were digitized with "abort ETT/PTV on dropped frames" and "abort capture on dropped frames" checked off. Also "on timecode break" was set to "warn after capture".
Now the issue. If I open these files in finder (with QT player), I can see all of digitized video (i.e. 36 minutes) for each of these files. In FCP (even if I import them once again to a new project) I can see only a portion of these files (first few minutes), i.e. it doesn't show me anything after the first time-code break.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim

If you don't want to deal with recapturing them (the best way to deal with the breaks at capture might be to enable "create new on TC breaks" - "warn after" will create the situation you have now)
anyway, you can probably save reference or self-contained movies from QT player that FCP will be able to import.
Hope this helps -

Poor Video after importing from Camcorder

I am inputing from a Canon Elura 100 which uses MiniDV. Used many times with PC with excellent quality. When I input to IMovie the picture appears very sharp as it is downloading. It appears to have loaded a high resolution since 20 minutes occupies about 6GB of storage. However, all of the clips, any movies I render all are very fuzzy. When I got to Share and Media Browser it only lets me render in Mobile. I tried exporting at high definition with no better results. Using my PC on this material, the DVDs are of high quality. What is wrong?

Try sending it to iDVD and burning it before you judge. First, your display is a progressive device, and may not display interlaced video properly even though it will look fine on a TV. Second, iMovie adjusts playback quality so that it doesn't drop frames. The quality of your actual video is unchanged.

Flicker and pixelized video after importing from motion

Hello, I captured a clip from HDV tape via Firewire using log and capture in FCP, then exported the clip to Motion where I applied filiters. I made a movie from Motion and imported it back in FCP. The movie required rendering to play and it now has a flicker and is grossly pixelized. Anyone know what could be causing this?

what settings did you use in motion? what settings are you using in fcp? my guess is they don't match.

My video gets pixilated after importing in Premiere pro cc 2014. I've try to change settings but nothing happens.

My video gets pixilated (specifically the text on the video) after I import it in premiere. I don't think it's because of my editing because when i'm previewing a video after importing it the video is already downgraded and the text are so pixilated. I hope someone could help me.
Thank you in advance.
God bless

Unsupported video format importing from android to aperture 3.5.1

I have several Unsupported videos after importing from my android phone (Galaxy S4) to Aperture 3.5.1. It's not a codec issue (I don't think) because I also imported from my partner's android (same kind of phone). Plus, when I right click and tell it to play the video in QuickTime, that works. Please help! I'd like to delete the vids off of my SD card but don't want to do so until these show up as supported with a thumbnail. Thanks for you help.
Have repaired and rebuilt the database - this is a brand new Aperture library.

First open the library you want to import in Aperture 3.5.1.
Launch Aperture while holding down the alt/options key to open the library chooser panel.
Select the old library. Aperture will now upgrade the library.
After that, you should be able to merge this library into your current library.
I recommend to back up both libraries in question before doing this, just in case.

When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

Barrel distortion after import (Aperture 3.5.1)

I've noticed before now that when I import any photos to Aperture, it applies some sort of automatic adjustment the first time the photo is viewed. It's usually just a slight thing, almost as though the contrast has been put up a little bit. It's something like a 'deepening' effect on the images. It isn't anything I've set (no preset or adjustments have been applied at this point), but it nevertheless affects every photo that I import.
I just got a 35mm f/1.8 lens for my Nikon, and started testing it out by shooting in raw (.NEF), just for the fun of it. When I imported the shots to Aperture, the same effect happened as before, only much more exaggerated; higher contrast, more saturation, and a certain amount of barrel distortion seems to have been applied. I don't know if this is Aperture attempting to reduce distortion that it detects, or what it might be doing, but it definitely is doing something to alter the photo. This lens has much less distortion than I was expecting, and in-camera it performs beautifully -- but after importing to Aperture the photos take on a weird look. This is particularly a problem when shooting in raw, while JPEG shots don't seem to be effected by distortion.
Any help with this issue?
Thanks!

What you are seeing is the difference between the in-camera raw processing and lens distortion correction, that is applied to the camera generated jpeg previews, and the naked raw files, that is Aperture presenting you.
When you first import a raw image, you will see the preview generated by the camera. This preview will show all incamera processing, including Nikon's lens correction. After loading the image, Aperture will replace the camera preview by a preview rendered from the raw.
Aperture does not do lens correction to correct any barrel distortion. If you are shooting raw, you will see the naked raw without any in-camera processing applied in Aperture.
If you want to profit from Nikon's in-camera processing, import the jpegs with the highest quality setting and not thr raw files. Or use lens-correction software like the Aperture plug-in PTLens.

HT2729 After import video,s from iphone to HP com puter all the video,s are sideways, how to fix this ?

After import video,s from iphone 5 to a HP computer (Windows 7 ) all the video,s are sideways ! No problem with ipad4 Newest)
How to fix this!

Check to see if the phone has enough free space on it. Go to Settings->About on you iPhone and see how much free space there is. It's likely that your phone is out of free space. You could also try using a free peice of software called Pic Share It, to drag and drop the video directly to your iPhone wirelessly. Here's a video showing how it works.
