FCPX Import movie file only importing audio?

FINAL CUT PRO X IMPORT ISSUE
When importing old dv converted movies (.mov format) from my FCP 6 Capture folders, I only get audio---there is no video file to edit.
The actual file in finder can play it just fine through QT.
I've tried transcoding, copying, leaving in place----nothing working.
Interestingly if I select the audio event in FCPX and select reveal in finder, it finds the copied file in FCPX folder structure and I can then play it Fine thru QT with video.
Ideas?

>old dv converted movies (.mov format)
the .mov file extension is not a format. It merely indicates a QuickTime container. The actual audio and video streams within that container could have been made from any number of codecs, some of which do not work natively in FCP.
Chances are the .mov file you're referring to was made using a non-native codec and would need to be converted prior to importing. But since you didn't mention the codec used, I can only guess about this.

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

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.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

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

Type .mov into Spotlight search to see if any files show, other than the one you know about.
Also you can try other types like .mp4

HELP! VIDEO IN CS6 EXTENDED WON'T IMPORT MOV FILES, ONLY JPEG

Hello. I have a problem with the video editor in my CS6 Extented. I have the newest updates (checked an hour ago), and restored default preferences before beginning the first video exercise in Chapter 10 of "Adobe Photoshop CS6/Classroom In A Book". The book came with practice files on a DVD. I installed those (for chapter 10) into my PC. Following the book's directions to create a new video file, everything is fine, and works just as shown in the book, until I import the 9 sample files (6 Jpegs and 3 MOV files). After placing these files onto the timeline, I am instructed to resize the duration of the JPEGs to 3 seconds, that works. But when I go to resize the MOV files, they will not expand. When I zoom in all the way, they are clearly empty place holders, of no lenght. The marker says they are "01F", which looks to me like 1 frame. Yet looking at the files before importing them in to Photoshop and placing them on the timeline, the first two files show as being 11 seconds long, and the third MOV file is 37 seconds long. And, I can play all three files on my Windows media player. But again, as soon as I place these on the time line, they are reduced to a sliver of just one frame, that can not be expanded.
I placed these files first using the method described in the book, which is to "Click the video menue in the Layer 0 track, and choose Add Media." I then went to the lesson 10 folder on my internal hard drive, shift selected the 9 files as directed, then clicked open.   I turned off my PC and then rebooted, three times, always getting the same results. I then went and looked at some on-line traing videos, where they showed selecting the video files, then clicking on the "+" at the right end of the time line, and that did the same thing, moving the JPEGs fine, and chopping the MOV files down to one frame.
As another clue, before creating the video file in the exercise, the book directed me to load the finished file that they supplied, into Photoshop, and to play that in Photoshop, to see what the final project would look like. I did that, and the video played fine. And the book instructed me to note how the files in the timeline matched up with the files in the layers panel, and all of that looked just like in the book. But I can NOT get the video/MOV files to move in to the time line when I do it as instructed.
And I am running Windows 8.1, on a brand new pc with a fairly highpowered dedicated video card with 3 gig of on-board ram, and 16G of ram in my PC.
What do I do?   Thank you, Chuck

Thank you Silkrooster!   I did the download of Quicktime and re-did the video training exercise, but this time it worked flawlessly! Thanks, Chuck
PS: As I entered the forum, I noticed someone else with the exact same problem that I had. But that person was able to ask their question in a couple of simple sentences instead of my long ramble!

QT Player Launcher Thinks ONE Movie File Is An Audio ONLY File?

I have just been capturing some DV-PAL clips through my DAC-100 A/D Converter.
They all work perfectly in FCE but one of them, when opened in the latest QT Player has audio only. The player opens as a tiny audio player.
Yet if I open the file in QT Player 7 it works perfectly.
It seems like one of those one-off glitches that occasionally happens but I wondered if anyone had any other ideas about what made the clip dislike the latest player?
STOP PRESS! I have deleted the clips that I "thought" were OK so now I can't be absolutely sure they were!
All the clips I have just captured via the DAC-100 are playing audio only in the latest QT Player but perfectly OK in QT Player 7 and FCE.
So it is not a "one-off".

The plot thickens!
Actually, I've just noticed that it was FCP 6 I was using, though I wouldn't have thought it would have made any difference.
After further testing it appears that converted clips captured by FCE 4 work perfectly in QT Player 10, but those captured with FCP 6 playback only the audio . . . . . but work perfectly in QT Player 7.
Obviously there must be something different between FCE 4 and FCP 6.
It's no problem . . . . just weird.

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.

.mov file in Quicktime: Audio OK, Video not OK

Reposting this as a new topic, since it was buried in the other thread.
I have a small HD video camera that records .mov files to an SD flash card.
I get audio, but no video. The Quicktime movie inspector says the format is "mbarella AVC encoder 3avcCM@" - then an apparently random selection of symbols that I don't see on my keyboard..
I have bought and activated the Quicktime pro key.
The movie properties window tells me the Video Track in in H.264 format - but I use H.264 a lot, and never have a problem with it.
It's not just one file that is problematic - every video file fails to show on my laptop, though the video files play back without a problem on the camera.
I can't open the file in Quicktime, Real Player, VLC, itunes, iphoto, MPEG Stream clip, or Final cut. I used to be able to open files from this camera on my laptop, but suspect I have upgraded and lost functionality. Saved files that used to play in Quicktime and in iphoto now do not play video - audio is fine, but not video.
I have downloaded the Perian add-on, but that has made no difference.
Any thoughts? I can send a short test file from the camera if necessary.
Hope you have a good weekend!
Best wishes
R

Hi Jon - test file sent by email to your address in profile, from my rob....{at}gmail address.
File received and examined. Appears to be a codec problem. Suspect the camera may be using a custom/hybrid encoder. QT is very touchy about such things. Was able to open and play it in both older version of VLC and new version which installed today. Tried transcoding the result to standard MP4 file but the results were not satisfactory.
Test.mp4
If you download/play this test, you will note that the pan portion is very poorly rendered. Stepping the clip frame-by-frame seems to display some frames out of their natural order. In addition, the clip looses two seconds of playback time as if some frames were either lost during the transcode or the original file had a varying frame rate which was reset to a fixed rate and time reference in the transcoded file. This seems to be confirmed by analysis of the HandBrake conversion below...
FILE0055.m4v
Used a custom TV preset I happen to be testing in latest Snow Leopard version of HandBrake to create the file which does play back the same as you original file in the VLC player. This preset, among other things, duplicates the original frame rate variations. In this case, analysis indicates the frame rate excursion to be 29.970 -6.008/+30.280 fps which plays the clip in 12.07 seconds and is only 0.03 seconds longer than your original file. The downside to this is the fact that the preset as used here doubles the video rate and quadruples the audio data rate.
You might perform a search to see if a QT component is required for proper viewing of camera content. (I.e., a component that was originally installed on the system that used to play the files--e.g., check software disc that may have come with the camera.) Otherwise, my only suggestion would be to download the latest version of HandBrake and see if you can transcode the files for playback using the standard or currently configured component set installed on your system.
Good Luck,

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.

MP4 files only streaming audio

Hi,
We've been running FMS 3 for about 3 months now and someone
just sent me an MP4 encoded video file. THe file plays through
quicktime locally just fine.
When I load the video to the FMS and test only the audio file
plays back.

To see H.264 content, you need to play the file with Flash
Player 9,0,115,0 or later. If you're using CS3, the player used for
the test movie environment (Control > Test Movie) doesn't
support H.264.
To see H.264 content, you also need Flash Media Server 3.5 --
FMS 3 doesn't know what "mp4:" means.
Here's an in-depth article about MPEG-4 support:

Hope that helps,

Is MOV file with mp2 audio tracks compatible with QT player?

Hi,
I export multiple .mov files with certain video stream and mpeg layer 2 audio stream inside, using MPEG Streamclip/VLC/FFMpegX. However it turns out that the sound part is not playbak correctly inside QT player. Is QT player not supposed to playback this kind of file? BTW, I'm on OSX 10.7.3, Quicktime player is version 10.1.
Thanks,
Shunan

Many possible answers here. Since you did not indicated the video compression format, my only recomendation would be to try playback in the QT 7 Player for your specific combination of video, audio, and file container. For instance, "muxed" MPEG-2/MP2 data in an MPEG, MPG, or MOV file container will play correctly in the QT 7 Player. On the other hand, the MPEG and and MPG files only play the video in the QT X Player and the MOV file container will not even open in the QT X Player.
Basically, if you check the QT X Player web page, you will note that MPEG-1, layer 2 audio is not supported by this player. However, whiile MPEG-1, layer 2 audio is still basically supported by the QT 7 Player, certain audio, video, and file container combinations may be problematic.

Can't move files, only duplicate

hello,
i have some files at the root level of my laptop drive and i want to move them, but they only copy into their new locations (duplicating) they don't simply move with the gong sound. i'm wondering why. does it have to do with permissions or something?
thanks
max

A 'move' is just shorthand for a 'copy to new location X, and delete from old location Y'.
You can't delete something outside of your user account without Admin privileges. I haven't tested this, but for that reason I'd imagine you can't move files in the root directory. Copy them then delete them manually, supplying your Admin password when prompted.

.MOV files from iphone - audio but no video in QuickTime

iphone 3gs, latest DirectX and Quicktime. Downloaded .mov files from iphone don't play correctly in QuickTime. The audio is there but there is no video, just a black screen.
I tried switching the video to "safe mode". This does show the video, but its terribly choppy and unwatchable.
I believe something changed recently with an update to itunes or QuickTime. Any ideas?
Thanks.

How do I get this file to play?
By installing the proper video codec component if available as advised by application. See the video "Format:" entry in finder "Info", QT "Inspector", or "Property" window. Basically you must have the same playback decoder installed on your second machine as was used to encode the video the first. Sounds as if the component configurations on the two machines are not the same.
