Flip UltraHD MP4 files and P-Elements 9

I can edit Flip UltraHD MP4 files using the XDCAM EX 720p 30p setting in Premiere Pro
But... the reason I bought this camera was for my non-technical wife to be able to "play" with video with an easy camerea (she stays FAR away from my $1k Canon Vixia)
Now, I want to offer her the option of creating her own DVDs on her computer, with Premiere Elements 9
Before I buy the program, could someone verify that PreEl-9 actually DOES have a preset for Flip files (or, as I do in PPro, another setting that works for native editing, without having to do any file conversions)

I may upgrade her to v9 later, if she finds that she enjoys video editing... or maybe not, due to her computer's relatively low power dual-core CPU and the fact that MP4 (like AVCHD) requires a powerful CPU for "happy" editing
For now, I have to add a 2nd drive anyway (just ordered @Newegg 1T Samsung Spinpoint http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185 for net $59) so I'll use the v7 I have and just convert to DV AVI Widescreen
Conversion is faster than real time on my computer (I haven't timed it, but a 1 minute test clip converted in much less than a minute) and she's not going to have all that many clips at any one time that need to be converted
Plus, as I said, she gets very impatient very quickly when her computer is "slow" in anything, so I think that giving her AVI's to edit will cause ME fewer headaches down the road
New drive should be here by the end of next week, then I'll install v7 and get a project set up for her to play when it's winter and she's not working in the garden
I've already downloaded the 703 update, so I'll be all set just as soon as the new drive arrives
Added
Another bonus to using the v7 I already have is that it came with a printed manual AND I have a book by a guy named Steve for my wife to read

I have downloaded itunes songs into my library and now I want to import them into my Adobe Premiere Elements DVD program. When I did it before, they were already .wma files, now they are MP4 files and they won't go. How do I change these MP4 files into .wma files?

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

FCP and flip video mp4 files

Okay, i shot some footage on my flip which turns out mp4 files, but when i import it into my fcp 5.1.4 every once in a while the sound and footage is off sync. any ideas?
God Speed.

Gotta convert that footage. FCP doesn't edit MP4. Use MPEG STREAMCLIP (www.squared5.com) to convert it to DV, or ProRes if HD Flip.

MP4 files in Premiere Element 7 not playing

I have recently bought a Sanyo Xacti Cmaera for my wife and have tried to edit the files in Premiere elements 7. When I try to open the files I am told they are not supported and that a codec may be missing. I can open them and play them in Nero and Quicktime player but not in Premiere or in Windows player. I am running Windows XP home edition SP3 with 4GB Ram. I have read some of the ideas to try to rectify but no luck.. Any suggestions?

Depending on which exact model you have, it appears that the camera produces AVCHD H.264 files.
First thing that I would do would be to check that you have the latest Apple QuickTime Player.
Next, make sure that your Project Preset is AVCHD. I do not find that this camera shoots in DD 5.1 SS Audio, but if it does, then make sure that you choose THAT part of the Preset too.
Now, it could be that Nero has some of its own CODEC's, like VLC Player. If you do not have the H.264 CODEC, and you should with the latest version of QuickTime, there are two other suppliers of this CODEC, that offer a really good one: Lead and MainConcept. When the Apple H.264 has not done a good job, many folk go with the MainConcept H.264. Some others have had better luck with the Lead version.
Now, how are you getting these files into PrE. For these, you will probably be copying the files over to your computer's HDD, and then using Get Media from that location.
Good luck, and maybe someone knows this camera (please state the exact model), and can offer more than I can, based on the info that I got from the Sanyo site.

Jerky playback of rendered mp4 files in Premiere Elements 10

I am editing GoPro Hero 3+ MP4 files in PE10 and exporting to AVCHD MP4 (H264 1920x1080p 30) but the resulting file does not play smoothly, almost like it is missing or skipping a frame at regular intervals. When rendered to M2T (H264 1920x1080i 30) or other AVCHD formats the playback is smooth. Why can't I export to the same format as the MP4 source files? FYI, I'm using PE10 on a Win 7, 64 PC with i7 and 16gb ram, and program files on a SSD separate from the HDD containing video files.

Thanks for your reply.
Attached is a screen shot of the general preferences.
When I imported the first GoPro MP4 file into the time line, PE10 gave me a message that the project settings did not match the source file, and asked me if I wanted it to change the settings, which I let it do.

Problems with importing .MP4 file and the audio in FCP 6

Hi all,
I am pretty new to Final Cut Pro and have just approached my first project.
I have a Samsung VP-MX20
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=cameracamcorder&type=cam corder&subtype=flashcamcorder&model_cd=VP-MX20/XEU&fullspec=F
*Codecs H.264, AAC.*
I needed some space on the camera so halfway through a holiday i transfered all the video files from the camera to my Laptop.
I have imported these files from the hardrive
Vid rate - 25 fps
compressor - H.264
Pixel Aspect - PAL - CCIR 601
What seems to be the problem is ok when i drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas and apply insert, i get the box that says 'Change Sequence settings to match the clip settings?
i click yes and when the clip is layed out on the timeline there is a red line above the timeline, when i play the clip i only get bleeps as audio and not the original sound.
If i drag the playhead i can hear the audio but if i try to play all i hear us bleeps plus if i import an mp3 the red line appears above the timeline and the same applies
can anyone help me here.
Thanks
Elles

Hi Zak,
many thanks for your reply, i have contacted Apple and taking your advice and using compressor i have converted the codec H.264 to Apple Pro Res 422 for interlaced material.
I have imported this file and when i drag once again from the viewer to canvas i get the standard box asking to change the sequence to match the clip.
I am still getting the red line above the timeline and bleeping as audio.
any idea?

RAW Files and Photoshop Elements 8

Hello
I have Elements 8 and want to use RAW so I downloaded and updated the plug in for RAW6.2 but still no joy. The only difference is that my file is located in C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Plug- Ins/Elements 8/File Formats. Does the Program files (x86) make a difference or should this still be ok as this is where all of my Elements files are?

If you have a camera model later than August 2010, it wont work and you would need to upgrade from PSE8. Otherwise you can download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

.PSD File and Photoshop Elements

Can a Photoshop CS6 or earlier version .PSD file (drawing that was created as template) be opened and edited in Photoshop Elements?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I have a few templates that were created in Photoshop that I need to change the color too. These .PSD templates are in layers and are in a plain greyscal element. Since these templates are in layers would I be able to color these layers in PSE?
Thanks!

60D CR2 files and Photoshop Elements

Upgraded from 20D to 60D. My Photoshop Elements v. 8 will not open the CR2 files. Elements says it doesn't recognize format. Do I need a newer version?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

More than likely you do. You can check the Adobe site for the necessary update to Camera RAW but in general Adobe only lets you update the last one or 2 versions of Elements or even the full Photoshop package.

Creating MP4 file from my Premiere Elements 11 Project

I am publishing my elements11 project as a mp4 file, and gets "Error compiling movie. Unkown error. Can someone assist with reason and fix for error? If I render the project in timeline view, I do not get an error, but when I am trying to Publish/Share it, the software does not want to compile the movie.

Flip Opperman
Thanks for the follow up. Great news with regards to the mini test troubleshooting. In view of what seemed to help turn things around in that case, cropping and resizing of photos used in the original should be top of your troubleshooting list.
As for project preset and such....The project preset should match the properties of your source media.
Are you saying that your source media is:
PAL AVCHD 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second.
The project preset is set up to be set by the program based on the properties of the first video clip to the Timeline. So, if you do not intervene, the program should be setting your project preset at:
PAL/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p24
when you drag that AVCHD 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second clip to the Timeline as the first clip to the Timeline.
If it does not, then you set it manually File Menu/New/Project, making sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" before existing the New Project dialog.Then you import this file with the program's Add Media.
The major contribution of the project preset is to direct the program to set the correct space in the Edit Mode monitor (in this case 1920 x 1080) from which to edit. So the frame rate does not becomes a deal breaker if it is not 24 progressive frames per second unless you are doing frame to frame editing. But, these project presets have other subtle as well as obvious affects on project settings. So best go with the best match between project preset and source media properties.
That does not necessarily tie you into a particular export.
Please review the original project's settings and Timeline content arrangements. You might have to start cutting up a copy of the original project in a search for an offending clip or effect or transition or other.
Please review.
Congratulations with your success with troubleshooting on the mini test run.
.Looking forward to further developments.
Thanks.

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints
I have been scratching my head as to how to fix my problem and I found some answers and some questions along the way. First of all, I have a video that should be correctly formatted for my iPod. Its specs are:

Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Size: 35.4 MB
Bit Rate: 125 kbps
Date Modified: 8/18/2009 2:15 PM
Play Count: 1
Last played: 8/21/2009 1:28 PM

Video Dimensions: 352x264
Video Codec: H.264
C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
#1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
#2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
#3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
#4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
#5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
#6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
#7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bond, James

Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks

Media Encoder rendering MP4 files with AAC and M4V files leftover

Hey all,
Just a quick question. My computers' media encoder has started rendering mp4 files and leaving the m4v and aac files there once the render is complete. The mp4 is fine but it's a bit anoying and messy that it's not deleting the files afterwards. Anyone familiar with this issue?
Thanks

Sorry my computer AND media encover version. I run Creative Cloud on a new Mac Pro

Want to cut frames just out of mp4 source files (gopro) and save back to mp4 files without changing format ot stuff like this - how to? Thx

Hi,
get freaky - I only want to reduce unpopular film sequences out of some gopro mp4 files and save them back in the same format. Just mp4 to mp4? Has anyone a warm idea. Thank you.

thomase
If you want a H.264.mp4 1280 x 720 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second export as the match for your source video with those properties, then you use
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = Vimeo HD which will give you 1280 x 720 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second.
or
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 HD720p24 and the hit the Advanced Button/then Video Tab to customize the preset to MP4 HD720p29.97.
After you hit the Advanced Tab/and the Video Tab and put in your settings, the Advanced Export setting should look like
Note: Click on the Chain link in the box to the right of Frame Width and Frame Height so that you can type in your 1280 and 720.
Do not hit Match Source. Put the values in yourself.
One of the major factors that we need in all this is the bitrate value of the original. We want to make sure that the bitrate of original
and export as the same or with the bitrate of the export being higher than the original. More on that later.
Please let me know if you are following me in the details so far. If not, please do not hesitate to tell me where you need clarfication.
Thanks.

Player pauses and skips with .mp4 files from video camera

As you will tell, I'm a total novice at this video stuff. I just purchased this new Sanyo HD1 video camera. It creates .MP4 files and says they can be played with QuickTime (included with on the CD!). When I play the clips with QT, I get terrible playback - video/audio pauses and large chucks of video just drops. I've tried the clips on a variesty of high end machines (latest version of QT) with the same results. Interestingly enough, if you use the product that also comes on the CD for viewing (ULead) - everything looks smooth. I'd rather use QuickTime and go Pro for those features if I can get it to work. Suggestions?
Sony Vaio 3.8Ghz, 1G Ram Windows XP

I also have this same problem and have found I can get the file to play if I select the "add to selection and scale" option under the edit tab. However when I exit and save the option I still have to select the option on the same file the next time I open it in order to get the file to play.
What is the fix?
