Embedded audio and video clips won't play in a pdf doc.

I have an EPK with embedded clips that won't play. I've udated all my software, and followed the isntructions for allowing 3rd party content ot be stored. Macbook Pro with all updates installed.

The "wm" part of the file extension is a Windows Media Player format.
They are not compatible in QuickTime without third party software help.
http://flip4mac.com is the Microsoft recommended method for Mac users to view WMP formats and they offer a "beta" version for Snow Leopard users.
Your AVI file has the same troubles but the fix may be a bit easier to fix:
http://perian.org (for the codecs) and the older QuickTime Player.
To install QuickTime Player you use your Snow Leopard DVD and the "Optional Installs" package.
It will install in your Utilities folder.

  • Video clips won't play back after capture

    I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

    It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
    Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
    I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

  • Audio and video clip lengths differ in encore timeline

    Hi
    I have been working to build a BD-R H.263 ac3 disk.  I used AME from within Premiere Pro to export the M4V and (at the same time) AC3, using the present defualt parameters-no tweaking of any setting.  The clips appear to play great on encore's monitor--everything in sync.And on the burned BD-R
    However, I am getting the black screen between clips in the timeline when played in the standalone BD player, or (when I had one clip to a timeline) in a playlist.  a previous poster made note of different length audio and video clips.  I zoomed on the timeline and lo and behold--the  the audio and video clips are different lengths.
    This is with the timeline fully expand--each division is a frame. Note that break between the two audio clips is offset from the break between the two video clips by two frames.  This offset is after several clips.  I could find no information on what the one frame crosshatching at the end of the leading clips means.  Can anyone explain this cross hatching?  What do I do about it?  the image below is after the first clip in the timeline:
    In this image, the offset is less than a full frame??????
    I tried using the trim tools to bring these together-but, the trim tool only lets it jump a full frame and then only to a GOP boundary, which doesn't help because the boundaries are obviously different fro the video and audio track.
    I want to emphasize that these assets were created from the Premiere CS4 timeline (which had no offset between audio and video) using the default H.263 and AC3 presets in AME and the same presets selected in Encore.
    The offsets do not appear to cause the actual audio and video to go out of sync when I play the burned disk. But, I get the 1-2 second wait between menus and chapters, or with items in a playlist.
    The audio offset suggests that the player may not know what to do when faced with a chapter point that is different on the audio and video tracks, although, I will note that encore snapped to the joints in the video track not the audio track.
    You can see from this listing that several of the clips audio and video lengths that differ by one frame.  By the end of the timeline, the cummulative offset is 3 seconds (48 minute timeline)
    Can anyone shed any light on this?  Thanks

    I don't think that I had the same problem that you do, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents just in case it might help. Encore would not build the output; it said something like the inpoint and the length did not match the endpoint. Actually, I think this happened in several different situations. In one case I simply adjusted the audio and video tracks to match endpoints. In the other case I went back to Premier and found that in some cases where I had added transitions it had shifted the endpoints of the audio and video tracks so they did not match. I removed the transitions. It didn't matter that much to me since I'm doing this for personal use. Is it possible those crosshatched lines you're seeing are transitions?
    I am using CS 3 and editing HD. I have had many problems with encore. I read in the form someplace that it had a hard time handling H.264 so I changed to MPEG-2 and that fixed one problem. In another case it couldn't find some files and I found some advice not to use HD or wide menus, so I switched to standard 4:3 menus and it worked.

  • Issue - syncing Audio and Video Clips

    Hi Friends -
    Definitely, I am newbie for - editing in this application (Adobe Premier CS6) .
    My idea is to sync audio and video clip - 'based on clip markers' or 'based on Audio wave' .
    But, in my machine, I dont see option to 'add clip markers' (in Marker Menu) for these clips, which are supposed to merge. And, coming 'based on Audio wave' -  I dont even see those options, when I select (both clips to be merged) and choose merge.
    Am I missing any setting - Do I need to have any additional plugins for that? Can anyone pls. help regarding that.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Kireeti.

    The audio option wasn't added until Premiere Pro CC.
    You can set clip markers in the Source Monitor with the M key.

  • MERGING AND SYNCING more then one audio and video clip?

    Is there are way to select a bin of video clips and a bin of audio clips (DSLR with separate audio) and have Premiere analyze and sync them in batches like Avid. I have a mountain of audio and video clips, but with no rhyme or reason to the file name, no timecode, no slates, just waveforms. But without knowing which audio files go with which video files, it’s impossible (or least time-consuming).
    Or do I have to use plural eyes or other synchronising program for doing that?
    THanks.

    Do the video clips have audio. That is, are you seeking to match A/V clips with audio-only clips? If so, then Premiere can do that. Select all the clips in both bins, right-click & select Create Multicam Source Sequence, and select Sync by Audio.
    Whenever Premiere finds that two or more clips match each other but no others in the batch, it creates a multicam source sequence of just those clips.

  • Help!! video clips won't play in slide show

    I have a 40 minute Aperture slide show presentation that contains a few video clips (time-lapse videos, etc). It played well last summer. However, now that I am about to present the show tomorrow I can't get the video clips in the show to play. They have all been located and connected to the original files. If I double click on individual video clips they will play in the browser window but they won't play in my slide show. Any ideas? I'm in panic mode!
    Aperture 3.4.5.

    What happened since last yoear? Have you reinstalled the system at some point? Maybe you had last year additional video codecs installed? Flip4Mac, Perian?
    Do your videos play in QuickTime Player, when your export them to the DeskTop?
    Are your videos iPhone videos? In that case you may have a problem with
    Also, if you recently run a cleaner utility that cleared the caches, you now may have a missing  com.apple.xpchelper.cache in /System/Library/Caches .

  • How to synchronize multiple, unorganized audio- and video clips

    I'm editing a video with audio recorded by an external recorder.
    I've been given a lot of unorganized files and I wonder if there's a quick way to synchronize them all without knowing which audio- and video file that fit together.

    I've been pretty amazed by how well the synchronize clips command works. You might take a chance and select all of your audio/video files at once, right click and choose Synchronize Clips.

  • Audio and video still won't link

    Hi,
    I have an ongoing problem with linking audio and video of all my clips. When I drop them into a sequence, both audio streams and the video are not linked. I select them all and go to modify 'link' and make a stereo pair, but they are still not linked!
    How can I change the default setting for this please? I can only guess I have hit the wrong option at some point.
    Olly

    Stereo pairs have a pair of triangles pointing downwards on A1 and upwards on A2 displayed on the audio tracks.
    Linked tracks have an underlined clip name in the timeline.
    The linked and stereo pair adjustments are in the Capture Settings. Set them they way you want before you capture.

  • QT audio and video clips on web site not playing

    Hello,
    I recently did a clean new install of Leopard 10.5.8 and since then there is a site I used to go on that played QT video and audio clips just fine, but now, although the QT symbols are present, neither the audio or the video clips operate.
    The clips used to just load on the site automatically and they would operate when I clicked on PLAY before I did the new install.
    I've downloaded the latest QT Player, Version 7.6.2 (518).
    Here is a sample page, it's a Japanese language learning site - when I open this site I can only see the QT symbols where the video and audio clips usually load - but you will probably see the actual clips load just fine if your system is working OK.
    http://www.dartmouth.edu/~kanji/kanji0301.html
    It's a great site when the clips are working but it's not so useful when they don't.
    I've written to the site's webmaster - they don't reply - tho' I don't think it's anything wrong with the site since it only went wrong after I did a new OSX install, I think there's a switch somewhere on my system that needs activating.
    Can anyone help me get these clips working?
    Thnx a lot.
    Ann

    You going to some how get in contact with the site's webmaster. I know you said you tried but the webmaster can only answer your question about the Qt videos. I tried to load the URL for the video into the Quicktime Player and all I get is ... The URL is not valid alert box. I even tried it in Firefox, didn't work.
    It the site that's having problems and not something on your part. Installing your OS didn't cause this...

  • Video Clips won't play

    Although Premiere 9 with all updates installed, worked fine a few weeks ago now none of the video clips will play.
    I imported a bunch of new clips without a problem but they won't play.  My computer is new with lots of memory.  The files are mpeg and the cam corder is a Panasonic HDC-TM60.  I thought perhaps it was these new clips, but my old projects load without a problem but they won't play either.  I just see the thumbnail.  There is no sound.  If I scroll, the clip moves so it is the clip and not just a still as I thought might be the problem.  Any ideas?
    Michael

    I seem to have solved this problem.  Premiere does not seem to like the MOTU audio interface I use for my song recording/composing.
    When I switched the sound playback to the internal onboard sound card I once again had sound and video.  Not sure why but I've got it working.

  • Embedded audio and video files with Acrobat x Pro

    Can an audio or video file be embedded in a document with Acrobat x Pro & opened with Adobe Reader xi?

    You can place video or sound files onto the pages of a PDF file using the Multimedia button on the Tools Pane > Content Panel. The result is called a Rich Media Annotation, and will play back on the desktop versions of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
    The files have to be compatible with Flash Player, so videos need to be in H.264, FLV or F4V, and audio files in MP3.

  • Videos and video podcasts won't play in iTunes

    When ever I try to play a movie from either a podcast or a TV show, it will play about 1 second, stall, the "beach-ball" appears, the audio plays for that one second of video, then repeats. I am running a G3 iMac but before I updated to 10.4 (had 10.2) and videos played normally. Just wondering if there was any way to fix it.
    (On a side note, after I updated OS X, online quicktime movies play the same way)

    Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

  • Can't burn imovie with idvd & can't keep the audio and video clips to ancho

    Two questions:
    I've been working on a series of short digital stories in iMovie and have been trying to put them on a dvd. Using iDVD wasn't successful. Couldn't get them loaded into the map on the DVD theme page. So I dragged finally gave up and dragged the iMovie filesinto the DVD icon on my desktop and burned them. But now I have to drag the iMovie file from the DVD onto the harddrive before I play them.
    I would like to have all of the short movies in one DVD.
    I would also like to have one longer iMovie file but I'm having a devil of a time making all of the files, audio, video, photo, etc. stay in place while I'm working on each section. Perhaps this isn't feasible?
    With thanks for any help you can give me. I'm a novice at this program but enjoying the challenge.

    Were you dragging the project file into the right place? Try a simple theme like the Portfolio Colour theme under the iDVD3 collection. By the way, the simple thing first, I hope you were using iDVD5 not iDVD4.
    There can also be problems if the iMovie projects were created in iMovie4 and converted to iMovieHD. If this is the case load each one again. Make some simple change, undo if you wish, then save again.
    In any case try using file > Import and note what happens. I think this (old fashioned) way is easier than gragging in the projects. You can tidy them up later.

  • FCP7; "unmerge" merged audio and video clips in the timeline?

    Our TC was way off in some areas due to a bad timecode lemo on set. My editor synched by slate then merged the video with an audio mixdown track using the in points. Now when I export an EDL the original TC from the audio clip is gone, so he has no reference for matching up the audio. Does anybody know of a way to un-merge these clips and restore the original filename (audio takes the name of merged video but reveals correctly in finder) and timecode? Thanks.

    what happens if you match frame the audio?  I would think it would match back to the source audio clip which you could then use to replace the audio in the timeline.
