Flip Cam MOV or MP4

Need a camera with MOV or MP4 capablitly.
No idea what those mean and would like some suggestions.

Hi lypaszek,
Sorry for the delay in responding to this. MOV and MP4 are common video formats, and almost any modern camera or camcorder will record in one of these formats. In addition it should be fairly easy to convert a recorded video to whatever format you need.
Thanks,

HT1351 Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Some Flip Cam MP4 Clips Have No Audio

I shot 150 XDCAM EX 720p mp4 video clips all from the same Cisco Flip Cam. I opened them in Premiere Pro CS4 using the XDCAM EX 720p setting. About half have audio. When I play them in Quicktime Player, they all have audio. What gives?

Show everyone the details of one good and one bad file
Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

Error Message when trying to view/edit clips from Flip Cam

I am trying to edit some video from a flip cam on Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and it won't play. I've imported it both from an external HD and also the laptop itself and both times I get 2 error messages. First "General Error" then "Error: Out Of Memory"
I've already tried deleting my preferences but that didn't work.
Please help

Having owned several flip cams, I can tell you that the raw video clip coming out of the camera itself is a .avi file. If by chance someone had changed the extension of the raw video clip to mp4, or whatever that FCE (final cut express) likes, that will not change the fact that the clip is unusable without washing it through a conversion process. Im all in agreement on free.

Flip Camera files in FCP. Which format should I use?

hi Everyone!
I own a flip camera which gives me mp4 files 1280x720.
I does not seem to work fine with FCP.
I would like to convert them. What is the best format to use in FCP if I want to keep the 1280x720 format without to much quality loss?
Thank you very much.

Yes. I have the file on my hardrive.
Again the format is as follows.
Mpeg 4, 1280*720, 30 mbps.
I have the free software Mpeg streamclip to convert them in any format I want.
As I am a newbie I do not know which one to choose.
I just want to stick to 1280*720 and work as smoothly as possible in FCP without to much quality loss.

Best format to convert Ultra HD Flip Camera file for FCP editing?

We are using two types of cameras for a video project and one of them is a Flip Camera. Unfortunately, FCP doesn't play too nice with raw flip camera files so I need to convert said file using MPEG Streamclip. What is the best/recommended format to convert the movie file to for FCP editing?
Thanks!

From my experience, Pro Res 422 has been the most recommended for any conversion. Thanks!
Should I look for a specific audio compression option or should I just leave it as "uncompressed"?

Importing from a FLIP camera

How do you import video from a Flip camera?

Just recently did this for a client edit.
1. Plug the FLip into USB2 port - it will show up as a USB drive.
2. In iMovie, select menu "File>Import>Movies" - File browser will pop-up
3a. Navigate to the videos on the Flip and select the entire folder or individual clips
3b. Select the Save To drive
3c. "Create New Event <event name>"
3d. Check "Optimize Video: Full - Original Size"
3e. Select "Copy Files"
3f. Click on Import
That's It.

Flip camera inputs fine, exports freeze

Flip Camera files input fine to iMovie HD 6, and they play fine. Trouble is, the exports freeze a few minutes into the movie.

I hope this info will help you ,
a weak ago i needed to cut with multicam 2 camera footage format AVCHD , each footage was 1 HOUR Long (1080@50i).
when both footage was on my raid 0, multicam didnt run smooth.
i plug to my computer addtional external hard disk (eSATA) and paste one of the camera to it.
the multicam was running much more smoother , meanning (i just think so ) when each camera is on seperated phiysical HD ,multicam can run faster.
notice that avchd format is quiet complex for any NLE compare to XDCAM or HDV .

e xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry! Of course, I completely understand. If it helps we can always talk in French ( I used to live there).
Thank you for the help. The problem is this: I have some video clips on my computer that I have uploaded from my digital camera. When I was filming them I held the camera vertically, so when you view the clips on the computer they are sideways! I've flipped them in Quicktime and saved them that way. When I open them up in Quicktime and play them they play the way I want them to, but if I open them in iMovie they play the orginal way up. The thumbnails for all of them also stay the original way up. Is there any way I can solve this? I have iMovie 6 HD
Thank you!

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

Using .mov and mp4 in Dreamweaver.

I know that I can use .Fla for movies or animations in Dreamweaver but it has been noted to me that Mac Ipads and others do not recognize Flash. Is it possible to use .mov or mp4 in dreamweaver and if so how? My primary interest in using those formats is to set up photo slide shows. I am currently using the Adobe creative Suite 5.5 master collection. Any info would be appreciated.

thanks. i did that and found the files/foders that i mentioned above
i have 6 configuration folders, i guess the one titled Configuration is the latest
in it i see
FileCache.dat but do not see WinFileCache-********.dat
i did open filecache.dat in notepad and i saw chinese characters
should i delete that file?

Help! camera movements changing b/w keyframes

Please help! I'm making a kinetic type video and the camera movements change in between the keyframes I set up. For example; if I want the camera to just shift to the right, I copy the frame position, and then change the X axis. When I switch between the two frames everything is right, except the frames that AE makes up in between is also changing the Y axis... but the Y is the same on each keyframe. I've tried looking everywhere for help, everywhere in the program, tried re-doing it mutiple times, restarting AE, ect and I cant figure it out... Please help!

You have a "boomrang" effect, and this can be corrected easily. Select your keyframes, right click and go to "Keyframe Interpolation" and select "linear".
In the preferences menu (edit > preferences > general) you can check the preference "default interpretation to linear" wich is unchecked by default.
Also, one of the neat new feature of AE CS4 is the ability to separate dimensions. It's really time saving when animating cameras or complicated x,y,z mouvement. For that, select your position property, right clic and select "separate dimension". Now you will be able to animate the x,y,z property independantly.

Bad quality when play mov or mp4

I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
Following is the features of that computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:

Thank you very much!

My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?
