FCP Video Distorted While Importing & Playback Issues

While importing a Mini DV off of my Sony DVCAM deck there are some moments lately where the video playback and importing is distorted. There are four vertical lines that are pixelated with multi color over the video that is playing back. It happens on and off. This just happened and I play the video source from my camcorder everything looks fine. On top of that there are moments when I can control my deck through FCP but there is no video playing back in FCP. Am I missing something? This just popped up considering I have imported footage before with no problems. Anyone have a clue? Thankx

Try capturing a short segment using iMovie.
If it works, you most likely have a Quicktime issue.
Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. The usual solution it to force a full reinstall of QT.
This is how:
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Reboot
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Good luck.

Help! Strange video distortion after importing film onto IPHONE.

So I used Compressor H.264 to create an .m4v file to play my film on an IPhone. For the most part it sounds and looks great. But in two separate spots this weird video distortion occurs in a part of the frame. It's like these large squares of video appear for a second or two, then disappear. The really strange part is that it's always in the same two spots. I tried re-compressing the file thinking it mignt be a problem in the pressing. Watching the files on my comp using Itunes or Quicktime player there is no distortion. But once the movie is synced onto the Iphone it's always the same result. Those wierd digital shifting cubes pop up at the exact same two spots. No matter how many times I re-compress. Any ideas? I'm at a loss and I gotta figure this out in the next few hours.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Importing/playback issues with FCP

Hopefully someone out there can help.
I have a bunch of .mov files I'm unable to get to work in FCP (5.1.4) or QT(7.4.5) I'm just getting audio and a blank screen (Black in FCP & White in QT)
Error message in FCP:
codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.
Thanks,
Gabrieal

Jon Chappell has a guide for this on his Digital Rebellion blog...it actually advises using QT 7.1.6 for your version of FCP

Video distortion when importing MOV file into Premiere Pro

On my mac my premiere is having issues when I import .Mov files. I was shooting on my Canon 70D DSLR at 30frames and when I import files the playback breaks up and is distorted at various points. It doesn't seem like all the files are doing this only some of them have this problem when they are imported. The footage was all shot under the same settings in the same 3 hour period. I tried exporting files and the distortion is still present in the exported media file. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.

Interesting that it's on the same frames ... have you certain effects that would impact those more than others?
Also ... only 8Gb RAM, sounds like one internal that's pretty much stuffed, and footage on an external ... PrPro runs a ton of crap through both the CPU & the GPU (depending on what you're doing and how much it "likes" your GPU/Vram) and also writes massive files to the database, media cache, and through the CPU use the OS's system cache typically. You've got a LOT of readin'/writin' going on, and with only 40Gb free there's not a lot of free space for things to be just parked for random access in a moment or two.
Also curious ... what's the connection to the external? USB2 or 3? Thunderbolt? eSATA?

Video Stutter while importing.

When I import video from a camera, I get this little stutter/pause every so often. It seems like whenever there is fast movement on the video it happens. I recently upgraded to Leopard. I installed over the top of 10.4.9. I'm not sure if this is why it's happening. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi
My first thoughts.
• Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk less than 25GB (much less than)
• More than 50 audio clips - Medicine. Mix audio down to one clip
• Use of external hard disk - USB/USB2 and may be wrongly formatted
Lot's of video-clips - is not the origin - I've had movie projects up to and more of 6 hours
(Copied back to VHS-tapes - No stutter) (Maraton Vacation movies - nobody can stand to view)
(Ponder why)

While importing, playback is crap

i like to listen to my cd as it's importing... it worked fine until i hit a song that locked up my pc... now when i try to listen and import the playback is slow and reverberatingish (echoy)... anyone else have this problem, and if so how to fix it...? thanks

IMove '08 Import - Playback Issue

I'm new to iMovie and MACs altogether. My problem is this:
I'm pulling old video tapes into ElGato EyeTV250. I then export the video, (I've tried mp4, dv, H.264 and .mov formats).
I then import the movie into iMovie '08 -- creating a New Event. I see the clips in the lower half of the program, but nothing in the upper half. There, I still see the three squares and "Drag media here to create a new project" and a black window in the upper right.
I've tried importing with all the above-mentioned formats and I've tried a couple of clips pulled off the VHS tapes. It's not working.
Also, when I tried pulling one of these clips into iMovie '06 (which I re-installed), I only get the video in ONE square. In this case, I can view it in the main screen, but you can't edit anything if you get one green square representing the video.
I'd really appreciate some advice on this. I moved over to MAC from Windows Media Center, thinking it would be easier. So far, it's been rather frustrating. I guess the two iMovie versions hasn't helped.
Thanks!

I've tried importing with all the above-mentioned formats and I've tried a couple of clips pulled off the VHS tapes. It's not working.
Don't "import." Once the files are in your lower "Events" area, simply grab the icon for the file you want to add to your project and drop it in the upper "Project" window "Drag 'n drop" work area. (Alternatively you can turn on the "Edit" icon, Option-click the file you want in the "Events" window, and the entire clip will be automatically added to the project if the "show advanced tools" preference is turned on).
Also, when I tried pulling one of these clips into iMovie '06 (which I re-installed), I only get the video in ONE square. In this case, I can view it in the main screen, but you can't edit anything if you get one green square representing the video.
If you haven't modified preference settings, imported/dropped files are initially added to the "Clips" resource area (to the upper right of the main player). Simply drag and drop files from this area to the "Timeline" at the bottom of the screen (i.e., under the main player) in order to edit them.

Video and some Audio Playback issues

My downloaded video's on iTunes and Quicktime are not playing properly. They play without any sound what so ever and they stop after only a few seconds. They used to work perfectly before!!!
Also, on web pages like MySpace and YouTube, sound again does not work. I've checked my System Preferences for Sound and I am sure it has nothing to do with streaming.
PLEASE HELP!

i adjusted the settings in the Utilies folder for Audio Output!

No audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing

I was assisted yesterday by your technical support team to install the photoshop elements 12 & premiere elements 12 which I purchased e few minutes prior.
while trying to work with the premiere elements 12, I realised that I have no audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing.
How can I solve this audio setting problem?

If you want us to help you here then please continue reading....
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
Is the lack of audio in the Editing area of the program confined to this one particular MPG2 video clip?
What are the properties of this video file? If you do not know
a. perhaps the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video might give us the information we need for troubleshooting
b. if not, consider getting that information from MediaInfo (Tree View)
MediaInfo - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com
Just watch out for carry alongs in the download. The link is for the Windows version. A Mac version is available.
Did you discover the loss of audio for the video file after you had created a narration clip with the program's Narration Tool?
If you have not already, please check the settings under Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and its ASIO settings (including Input and Output enablement).
Please review, consider, and reply to the above. If you have questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

Video playback issue for Adobe Presenter 9 when publishing to Adobe Connect Pro 7

Hello!
I am having an issue with video playback for Adobe Presenter 9. When I preview the presentation on my computer there are no issues with any of the MP4 videos that I have loaded into my presentations. However, when I publish the presentation to Adobe Connect and access the URL the videos are either delayed or do not appear at all. We are using our own Adobe server which we purchased in 2008, along with Adobe Connect Pro 7. We recently updated our Adobe Presenter software to version 9. Is there an incompatibility issue between Adobe Presenter 9 and our current Adobe Server/current version of Adobe Connect? Or do I need to do something different in Adobe Presenter when importing the videos? Note: I have tried FLV videos and had the same issue.
We are trying to launch of series of webinars (each webinar has between 15-42 slides), which was the whole purpose of updating our Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate software....hopefully we can resolve this video issue.
Thanks!
Dana

Connect 7 didn't support MP4 video content, as I recall. Another issue is that Connect rooms are using Action Script 2 (AS2) while Presenter 9 uses AS3, and the two code languages don't play well together. You don't mention if you are using the meeting application to display the presentation, but it is worth mentioning. If the presentations are stand alone, then the AS3 issue should be non-existent, but the MP4 support may be.
Is there a reason you haven't updated the Connect software to Connect 9 (or at least Connect 8.1 where the Connect application became AS3 as a whole and supported MP4 content)?

Videos App Playback Issues (Out of Sync)

Hi,
As of last night I've been experiencing issues with playback in the Videos app on my iPad. It's an iPad4 with the most recent software update, which has been done for a while.
The issue: when playing a video in the Videos app (purchased from iTunes) on the iPad (so not using AirPlay) the video very rapidly begins to lag behind the audio. It becomes jerky and speeds up and then returns to normal speed when it catches up with the audio and then falls immediately behind again. If I try to exit the app when it happens it freezes the iPad (although after waiting a while it will eventually exit, it's just a looooong lag).
It's not a buffering issue as the internet connection is fine and the video playback from other apps (YouTube, NowTV, etc) are all fine.
It's driving me mad - does anyone have any suggestions? I've obviously tried closing all apps, restarting the iPad, etc.
Ta muchly,

Update: This is still happening - however these same episode files play perfectly fine through AppleTV (not AirPlay - but accessing direct through the Apple TV box).
Any ideas folks? I presume the problem is with the Videos App or the iPad (although all other video-related apps still work perfectly fine).

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Max

Bug#3844059 - [iOS[ Switching between multiple NetStreams not work
Bug#3773944 - Video view top at android 4.3
and more
All of these problems very important for our business. Often we cannot create stable AIR applications when we need to use videos.
Could you force for faster fixing these issues?

Trouble while importing video frames

Earlier today I tried making a gif and while importing the layers I wasn't able to click play to preview the section I wanted to import because this popup appeared:
And I while I ignored it the first couple times I think it also affected the video frames since the the last ones seemed the same frame repeating over and over.
Does anybody know what does it mean and if there's a way to fix it? Thanks!

I looked a bit further into it and it seems the video is the one that has an issue, I tried importing frames from a different one and it worked just fine.
Thanks anyways!

Fcp x 10.0.9 I can't select in and out points while importing media, and scrubber won't work in event browser.

I have two problems, and I have already un installed and reinstalled FCP X, and still have the issues.
1) In the import media window I can no longer select my in and out points to import. Pressing the "I" and "O" keys, I just get the audible error beep.
2) in the event browser I can select the in and out points, but it will no longer scrub through the clip with the cursor.
I do have OSX Mavericks installed, but the issue was prior to the install.

Tom, perhaps I used the wrong terminology, skimming not scrubbing. In the event browser on the thumbnails of my clips, I recall being able to skim to a point and then select the in and out points. It apparently is solved. I guess the reinstall fixed it. Well like taking your car to a mechanic its not making the clicking sound now.
As far as the import. I think by your response you solved the problem. I can select the in and out point when I import from a camera or my iphone, but I did not realize you could not select the in and out points from a video file already on my hard drive.
I appreciate your responce, and have a great day.

Windows 10 Video playback issues

I have an HP Pavilion g6 and currently use Windows 8.1 OS. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and had major problems playing videos coded into my own website and on other main stream websites too - YouTube videos were not such an issue. Depending on which internet browser I used, I would either experience a dark green screen and perfect audio or black screen with perfect audio or most frequently, on Chrome, I was gettng hesitant/jumpy video playback and a loud buzzing noise on audio. Neither Microsoft Support nor Windows Support were able to help me and the final piece of advice was to go back to my old OS, which I have done, and wait for an any future updates!! Great help! Has anyone else experienced this issue and have a solution? I have tried a number of suggestions, including changing the settings option to gpu rendering from software rendering but no joy. I'm not a particularly technical sort of person so please go easy on me with your replies. Many thanks Steve

Just wanted to circule back and close the loop. My issue have been resolved. It was the driver for the audio. After updating all of the driver (via Intel and HP) nothing appeared to work and I virtually went through all of the devices and check the driver. It was then that I noticed that IDT High Definition audio codec was very old, dated back to 2012. So I did a little research and came upon this post (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/idt-high-definition-audio-codec-not-working-on/570a5038-e48e-43f3-af75-95da61447c87?auth=1) The instruction from 3Juan was very specific and solved by problem. It's as follow. I had a same problem on HP Envy 23 1080jp All in one desktop PC.I can solved as following.1. Select IDT High Definition Audio CODEC on Device Manager.2. Select Driver tab.3. Click Update Driver... button.4. Select -> Browse my computer for driver software.5. Select -> Let me pickup a list of device drivers on my computer.6. Select High Definition Audio Device (Not IDT High Def... this is important.) and click Next. Appears Warning message, but reply Yes.7. ! Windows has successfully update your driver software.Key is step 6. Cheers!
