Embedded video files only play audio

The newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 will only play the audio portion of video files I add to it. The first frame of the video shows in the navigator panel, and the files show up and are viewable in the media browser. The selection handles for the video files are visible but that's all. This version also doesn't show the video content created in previous versions of keynote. In version 3 files I'd had .avi and .mov files that worked fine. I've checked the quicktime settings in system preferences to make sure that they were set properly. Suggestions?

After posting the original question about the newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 only playing the audio portion of video files I add to it, I tried every possible fix.
Since I'd been using a newer PCI video card recently, I tried just hooking up the monitor to the AGP video card that was still installed and it solved the problem.
If anyone is considering using Keynote v.4, make sure that you have either an AGP or PCI express slot for the graphics card you use since a regular PCI graphics card won't support video or animation files you add to Keynote.

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

IMORTED AUDIO/VIDEO FILE ONLY PLAYS THE AUDIO WITH A BLACK SCREEN

I'm trying to put a DVD together of my friends' concert, but every time I export from AVID to a QT file, import it, transcode it, and put it in a timeline, it only plays audio and a black screen.
I went back into AVID and made sure that I exported both audio and video...I did. Then I checked the QT file, and it plays the audio and video.
I exported the files as uncompressed. Should I use a compressor?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks.

I recently made another DVD with the same settings that turned out fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is with this one.
Thanks.

Why do my old QT files only play audio on QT X on Lion system

I have some old NTSC (DV/DVCPRO) videos that play well on my old Leopard system but on my new Lion Macbook Pro, only the audio will play. The video will play from within Finder but when I double click and it launches QT, QT behaves as if its only an audio file. This is true when I try to import into Final Cut X. Final Cut shows it as an audio file BUT 2 of the files DO show video. These are all 720x480 video dumps. So 7 files show as audio files and 2 work correctly. And all work fine under Quicktime 7.7 under Leopard 10.5.8.

Please disregard this posting. I took the old file and ran it thru compressor in a 422 format and now everything works fine and only took about 10 minutes per hour of video. I don't know how to cancel a request and I'm really pressed for time. Thank you.

Video podcast only playing audio on iPod

Hi,
In the past (iTunes 11.4) I was able to download a video podcast from a website and link it to iTunes by adding it to the library. It would automatically show up in home videos so I would right-click the file, get info, and then change the media kind to podcast. It would then join the rest of the episodes in podcasts. Then when I synced my iPod it would copy the file to the podcasts app and I could watch the video.
Now using iTunes 12.0.1.26 when I repeat those steps the podcast joins the rest of the episodes in the podcasts section in iTunes and plays as a video in iTunes, but when viewing the podcasts in episode list view the video icon is missing (although strangely it appears in the standard podcast view). And when I sync the podcast to my iPod and I play it through the podcasts app it plays as an audio only podcast. When I check the file system at /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/Fxx the video file is there and can be played as a video using the default video app, so there must be something iTunes is doing to tell the iPod to play it as audio only.
I have noticed in iTunes that when I get info of the previously added podcast episodes that it shows video properties whereas the newly added episodes do not and if I select new and old episodes at the same time and try to Get Info a message pops up saying "Your selection contains more than one kind of media." Whereas if I only select the new episodes or only select the old episodes, it doesn't pop up.
Also in Get Info, under options, the new episode show an option for equalizer (although it is greyed out and cannot be change), whereas the older episodes do not. And under Sorting, the new episodes have an option to sort podcast whereas the old episodes do not.
*(Old episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 11.4, new episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 12.0.1.26)
Thank you.

Hello, I just had success getting things to work once with podcasts then tried it with iTunesU after I could not repeat it with podcasts. I had the same problem, What I ended doing with iTunesU I'm sure you can apply to podcasts it appears to be an iTunes 12 issue not an iOS issues but affects iOS devices 6,7,8. I just got lucky with solution. I am quite vague on what I did, so in coming days ( had enough today) I'm going to attempt it again and write an exact procedure. but while its fresh in my mind this is what I think I did with iTunesU to get same functionality as podcasts. Firstly talk about what we use to do, as you would do in the past I i used get info then changed it to podcast, as we know that won't work and files play as audio only. So I got my (the ones that wouldn't work on iPad but did on the mac) podcasts in iTunes and selected all (contents of podcast) then get info, i then changed them on mass to home video again( it protests but you continue). I then went to normal library ( can't recall what its called these days) created an empty playlist folder, then from my standard library i dragged all videos into it. I then selected all get info changed to iTunes U (i tried podcast i did succeed once but could not repeat) also changed institution and and instructor ( i think they must be in to work????)( I would say as it relates to podcasts you follow a similar procedure, my gut tells me its not working due to missing fields, we must work out which need filling in)
From there plugged in iPad clicked devices tab, strangely then left the actual collection in question unchecked, however below that box is another that says include items from playlist, i checked mine that i created earlier , playlist will only appear there if you went through the painful approach at start ( i.e. in get info you made the whole playlist is of type ' iTunes U' , I assume will be a similar case with podcasts). I then synced. didn't think it worked, then closed app on device and opened it and perfect there it was and it played video and then played next after etc
I am sure i have unnecessary steps but it was guess work. once I've refined it ill post technique. I'm certain it all hinges on making other fields right other than podcasts and them all being changed to the same at the same time. was weird that include from playlist worked rather than collections. that is probably key too.
Hope this is helpful, just a disclaimer i included to much info because the answer is in there.

Some of my video files only play for a five second duration in QuicktimeX.

A few video files I have only play the clip for five seconds, but when I play the same exact clips in VLC they work, it is only 3 or 4 video files, but it is a problem, also when you see the little video icon, you see the video, for the ones that only play for five seconds, you see blotches, and a grey picture. Is there any way to fix this problem? The file format is in .avi

When trying to play open the inspector (CMD + I) and mention what the codecs are.
Install (free) Perian 1.2

Files only play audio

I formatted an external drive for FAT32. I dumped Quicktime files from my MAC onto the drive. I plugged the drive into a Windows computer. The only thing that seems to play is audio from the Quicktime clips. Am I doing something wrong? How can I play the Quicktime clips on my PC?

That's the problem. AIC isn't a part of the normal QuickTime distribution. It comes with Final Cut and iMovie and, unless there's a version I've never found, isn't available for Windows. You'll probably need to transcode the movies into another format such as h.264 to play them on a Windows system.
Regards.

.avi files only play sound after update

I have a few .avi videos that used to play both audio and video before the 7.13 update yesterday, and now these .avi files only play audio, and the video is non-existant.
I re-installed my DivX codecs, and I'm not sure what to do next.

I am having the same problem.
Does anybody have a resolution to this issue?

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?
I am new to Premiere having just downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday, I jumped straight in and imported all of my files from my video camera however in Premiere only the audio plays back with the displays just showing a black space.
Out of curiosity I dragged three or four shots into the sequence editor and then exported them and played this through VLC and the video was there?
As I said I am completely new to Premiere having only spent around 3 or 4 hours with it in the past, I read a few forum threads around similar issues but couldn't find any solutions and as I am trying to edit together a short film for a college project due in soon I need to try and find a way to fix this A.S.A.P
Any help would be appreciated and if theres any more info I can provide please let me know.
Thanks

I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
USAGE RULES
1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.
Regards.
