Flip video-FCE Editing and .mov to WMV conversion

We have bought some new Flip video camcorders- i need to edit the footage and then convert them to WMV so that they can be embedded into a powerpoint presentation.
Here's the problem:
-The flip videos are MP4 files
- I have been importing these files into FCE, making the appropriate edits & then exporting the final sequence as a .mov file.
- At this stage i have a .mov that i wish to convert into WMV so that it can be embedded into the presentation. This is where the problem occurs- The video converter goes very strange, fuzzy and as though its a tv is zero reception (signal).
I have been reading up and now realise that FCE does not recognise MP4 files, so i tried:
- Converting the raw flip video footage from MP4 to .mov
-Bringing this .mov file into FCE
-Exporting the final sequence as an .mov file & then trying to convert to WMV
This is where another problem occurs:
The convertor is only recognising the audio and not the video. I have the audio from the sequence but not the video....
I have tried varies convertors so i know it is not my regestered convertor at fault (wondershare video)
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE BLEEEEEP IS GOING ON & WHAT A SOLUTION MIGHT BE?
MANY THANKS!!!!!

Hi David,
Thanks for your response. I have been trying this technique but it doesn't seem to work either. I immediately converted the footage from MP4 to .mov. I then imported the .mov file into final cut express for editing. Once the sequence was ready i exported as a .mov file and then used 'wondershare video convertor' to convert from .mov to WMV. This doesn't seem to solve the problem. In this case i can get the audio but not the visual....
I have taken your advice and downloaded 'flip4mac'. I have just currently got the free trial as i want to know if it works before paying. It seems to open up in quicktime player but wont allow me to export file and convert to wmv....
What exactly is flip4mac good for and how do you use it? I know it runs hand in hand with quicktime, so in this respect isn't your standard convertor?
Do you have any suggestions? Surely it shouldn't be hard?
Many thanks,
Ed

  • How do I get music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes onto my iPod touch?

    I just bought the 32 G iPod touch bc I read online that the 8G holds 2000 songs plus other stuff and the 32G holds 8000 songs plus more. I have 3000 songs on my iTunes and for some reason it said it won't hold more than 2600. Also I can't figure out to put the music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes synced onto my iPod touch. Help?

    The advertised number of songs an iPod can hold is based on set factors such as the encoding for each song and the length for each song.
    Transferring movies is selected under the Movies tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
    Transferring TV Shows is selected under the TV Shows tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
    Include Music Videos is selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Final cut pro- .mov to wmv conversion?

    Hello, I'm trying to convert a 10 minute .mov file (h264) into a .wmv and everytime I try, it only exports 20 seconds worth even though it finishes through until the end. Why is it doing this? Can I make it go all the way through? I'd like to find an easy way to just convert .mov to wmv using Quicktime pro or Final Cut Pro and not have to go through additional software (especially software that costs money). Any help will be appreciated-- thank you

    Yes. Windows Media Encoder is your friend.
    I wrote up a blog post with how I did it (http://tinyurl.com/28xfbdy[) but in short, I created an archive quality MPEG-2 program stream (35 Mbps). That file can then be opened by Windows Media Encoder and you can encode it however you want.
    The other really easy option if you bought before they went out of business - VisualHub will convert directly from a QuickTime file to Windows Media.

  • Lagging pixels on video while editing and after render-export. -How do I fix this? the original media is Crystal clear.

    Hello guys,
    I am trying to edit some gameplay footage I captured using "AverMedia Game Capture HD", but whenever I import the media (at 1080i),
    There are pixels that hang on the video player, mostly when the camera is turning left to right,
    and on occasion, some random color blurs that bloom out of nowhere.
    I attached a image so you can see what it looks like:
    Here is what the video looks like after it is rendered and exported.
    Along with the visual pixels, it also displays horizontal lines. (possibly due to my export settings, I was in a hurry just to test it)
    Both the capture device and final cut pro x are upgraded to the latest firmware/updates.
    I am using HD AC Component cables (blue green red) both for in and out connections between ps3 - cap device - tv.
    The capture device automatically records files to mpeg-4.
    The resolution of the tv, and recorded footage is in 1080i (1920 × 1080) and the quality looks great when I play it through quick time or any other media players:
    Any tips or info? I have been using Final Cut pro  x since it was released. I am not a professional but I have used it for some very important jobs thorugout the year, but I am really stumped with this.
    Overview:
    -Media info
    File Type: mpeg-4
    Codec: H.264, AAC
    Dimensions: 1080i (1920 × 1080)
    Thankyou for the help!

    Alright, lets get the good news out first:
    Converting the file definitely fixed the pixel issues.
    However, there where frequent "blips" of some frames that disturbed the video.
    Also, the converter created a 5GB file that was originally around 300MB!!
    It put a serious load on importing, rendering and transcode analysis, however the video played back smoothly, it would be perfect despite the large file size and frequent frame glitches.
    This is all due to my lack of knowledge in video property conversion.
    At this point, I feel that I am asking for too much, but I am really stumped...
    I can try so many possibilities, but this would save me allot of time if I could get the help:
    What converter settings should choose to have the optimal video file that,
    plays back smoothly,
    plays In HD,
    is compatible with fcp,
    and can still stay moderately low on file size?
    Here is the current info on the RAW video file:
    Here are the previous settings I used to convert:
    (slight improvemnt, but extremely high file size, and still has some frame glitches)
    What should I have (not?) done with these options?
    (I admit I chose these settings and had no Idea what the heck I was doing)
    Again, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
    EDIT:
    For reference, This is the new glitch issue I see:
    Here is the normal frame,
    Here is the next frame when a glitch apears.
    It seems to be replying a previous frame in the video.
    Also, the horozontal lines do not show during live playback, only when the play head is paused, or when scrubbing.

  • Live video mixing, editing, and recording with multiple feeds in

    I'm REALLY new to this - does premiere (or any other Adobe product) enable you to record live video and mix it onscreen from more than 3 live video sources - LIVE (at the time of the event)?

    .also as much as i hate sony they make something called

  • Aperture: edit and move referenced/originals

    My Aperture library was too big to handle my Macbook Air storage capacity so I moved the originals to an external disk. I have spent a few hours reading how to do it but can´t find a clear solution on how to work from now on.
    I would like to know what happens with the photos if I move them to different projects or even delete them in Aperture. How do I synchronies those new changes? Also, in the next days I will be adding new photos to some of my already existent Aperture projects, how can I move the originals of the new photos to the external disk? Should I move all the originals again?
    Thanks if someone can clarify those dilemmas I´m having right now.

    Hi,
    You're going to have to learn more in order to do what you want to do and not lose any data or risk loss through incomplete back-ups.  It's beyond the scope of this forum to provide all the information you need.  A _brief_ overview can be found in my concise guide to Aperture.  This come up regularly, and with some sleuthing you should be able to turn up a few of the longer, excellent post on the topic of Referenced Originals.
    I will respond to your questions — but my first advice is to be careful.  It is not clear what you are asking, and it seems that you do not understand how Aperture works.  I _strongly_ suggest mastering this while using a small test Library, before using any of it on data that is important.
    If you put the last Image attached to a Referenced Original in the Aperture Trash, and empty the Aperture Trash, you should get a dialog asking you if you want to move the Referenced Original to the System Trash.  Do you not get that dialog?
    If you say "Yes", the Referenced Original file should be put in the System Trash.
    Note that OS X keeps individual Trashes for each drive (even though it shows the collected contents of every drive's trash).
    When you import files, you have the option of storing the files in the Aperture Library package, or wherever you specify.  You can import files and leave them where they are, or you can import them and relocate them (to, e.g., your Originals drive), or you can import them and have them stored in the Library package.
    If your Originals are managed ("managed" means "stored inside the Library package"), whenever you back-up your Library the Image's Originals are backed up.
    If you Originals are referenced ("referenced" means "stored outside the Library package"), you are responsible for backing them up _in addition to_ backing up your Library.
    An extra note:  Aperture was designed to work with each "shoot" imported as a "Project".  (The misnaming of the container "Project" is, imho, a spectacular and costly mistake.)  Unless you have good reason to do otherwise, you will find your workflow smoother if you stick to "One Project for every shoot".  Use Albums for longitudinal collections of Images. 

  • Which adobe software can be used for video ads editing and generation.

    I am employed in a company ShoppingSpout.co.uk and I have a work related to ads. I am using Photoshop for image ads and banners but i really dont know which adobe product is handy to make ads for my site : http://www.shoppingspout.co.uk

    Video editing would be Premiere Elements (under $100 US) or Premiere Pro (about $800 standalone for CS6 or newest version is only on the Cloud only for a monthly fee)
    Click the big red A at the top left and go to the product pages for both products to read what they will do for you

  • MOV to WMV conversion problem

    I have quicktime pro and am trying to covert quicktime mov files to wmv files. The conversion happens, but when I play the wmv file I find that only part of the mov file was converted. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    when I play the wmv file I find that only part of the mov file was converted. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    QT Pro is using the free demo codec (I assume you have the free Flip4Mac player component installed). To export full conversions you must purchase the QT to WMV export codec that comes in the $49 package. (The $29 codec only converts from WMV to QT.)

  • Lost all my edits and some folders on conversion in 1.1!

    Help! I have to be doing something wrong. After the conversion to 1.1, (library to catalog)all my previous edits (in xmp) except for one folder are gone. Also lightroom decided to only give me about half of the folders in my database! Windows xp, P4 HT 2g of ram. Actually worked great in version 1.0
    Add to this the fact that it is now ten times slower than before, and I think I'm screwed! Can anyone tell me what to do? I have weeks of work in those edits.
    Thanks
    Rod

    Rod,
    I hesitate to try to answer since there are lots of worms in the can you opened, but here goes.
    1. One thing that would be helpful for anyone trying to answer is your system hardware configuration.
    2. Have you tried to Synchronize Folders? That may help in finding your data.
    3. When you say you opened the Lightroom library in Explorer [some assumptions here] did you actually open the database?
    4. If you didn't open the database [btw, I wouldn't do that unless you really are comfortable with working with sQLite] what did you mean by open the library. Was whatever you were looking at a 1.1 db?
    5. Ref Q1, do you have only one HD?
    6. Have you tried this more than once? Unfortunately, Windows can and does make mistakes and the answer is try at least twice before giving up.
    See what I mean about worms. Lots of the answers will lead to more questions.

    Hello.
    I need help deleting videos, tv shows, and movies downloaded from itunes.  I have followed the instructions to delete from the macbook, I selected the videos I wanted to delete and right clicked to delete.  Nothing happens.  When I double click on the video it still starts playing.  I also followed the instructions to delete the videos from the iphone by swiping from left to right with nothing happening.  I opened the videos on the ipad and there is no edit selection like in the instructions on the support page. Can you please tell me how to permanently remove this content so it doesn't try to copy from each device when I want to back up the Iphone and Ipad to my macbook.  Thank you.

  • HT2240 CAN I EDIT AND TAKE PIECES OF THE VIDEO OUT OF THE VIDEO WITH QUICKTIME?

    I want to edit a video and take out portions I do not want there for a video post. How do I edit out (trim) out bits I do not want and then save the new video?

    These steps assume you've got the Pro version of QuickTime Player 7 for Windows:
    Open the file you wish to edit and move the playhead (you can slide it and use the right/left arrow keys to adjust) to the first frame of the video you want to remove.
    Use the letter i key to create an "in point". You'll see a small marker at the bottom of the timeline noting your place in the file.
    Adjust the playhead to the last frame you wish to edit and use the letter o key to set an "out point". You'll see another marker and the edit area is highlighted in the timeline. This is known as a "Selection".
    From the Edit menu you can "Cut" or "Delete" this selection.
    Repeat those steps until you've removed what you want from the original file.
    File menu and choose "Save As". Pick a save location and give the file a new (different) name.
    Done. Your original file is left untouched by those edits.

  • Flip video problems

    I am having problems getting my kids videos from the flip video ultra into i movie. I can download them onto my macbook pro and watch them in quicktime but they wont import into i movie (on ilife 08). I have downloaded the latest updates and still cant do it. please help. thanks

    I have QTPro so I'm a happy camper but for those unaware, the CODEC shipping with the Flip Cam appears to have formats from Microsoft:
    _Source (AVI) from Flip Cam - wife holding kid washing hands_
    Format: XviD (3ivx), 640 x 480, Millions, Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
    FPS: 30
    *Data Size:* 4.00MB
    *Data Rate:* 3673.94 kbits/s
    *Normal Size:* 640 x 480
    *Current Size:* 640 x 480 (Actual)
    _Export (MOV) Using QuickTime Pro - Movie to QuickTime Movie / LAN/Intranet_
    Format: XviD (3ivx), 640 x 480, Millions, Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
    FPS: 30.09
    *Data Size:* 1.67MB
    *Data Rate:* 1532.30 kbits/s
    *Normal Size:* 640 x 480
    *Current Size:* 640 x 480 (Actual)
    Quality
    I see no discernible quality difference between these two clips.
    _iLife '08 Tests_
    (1) Drag Flip Cam VID00001.AVI file to iPhoto
    - SUCCESS! Imports perfectly into library
    (2) Publish to .Mac Gallery from iPhoto
    - SUCCSS! Publishes flawlessly and builds web page properly.
    (3) Review from .Mac Gallery
    - FAILURE! Video is pixelated and jittery
    - NOTE: the QTMOV file renders perfectly
    (4) Export from iPhoto
    - FAILURE! Menu options for exportation are disabled
    (5) Drag Flip Cam VID00001.AVI file to GarageBand
    - SUCCESS! Adds Movie Video track and Movie Sound track
    (6) Export Movie to Disk from Garage Band as MOV
    - SUCCESS, sort of ... format is not MOV though
    - Though still 640 x 480 it's actually larger 4.1MB but with a lower data rate (2555 kbp/s) compared to the source AVI file
    (7) Import to iMovie
    - FAILURE! Cannot read AVI format from Finder
    QuickTime
    As a previous Windows users and like many Windows friends, I used to be really turned off by Apple's continual badgering to "go pro" with QT. I finally did it, however, after listening to some pundits on a podcast - I think it was MacBreakWeekly. Here's why.
    Export Options
    For $30, not only can you convert nearly any source video format into any destination video format:
    Movie to 4G
    Movie to AppleTV
    Movie to AVI
    Movie to DV Stream
    Movie to FLC
    Movie to Hinted Movie
    Movie to Image Sequence (yes, make a "movie" of a directory of still images)
    Movie to iPHone
    Movie to iPHone (celluar)
    Movie to iPod
    Movie to MPEG-4
    Movie to Picture
    Movie to QuickTime Media Link
    Movie to QuickTime Movie
    Movie to Windows Media
    Sound to AIFF
    Soudn to AU
    Sound to Wave
    And, most of these export options have pre-built data rates that make it easy to choose from
    Default Settings
    Most Recent Settings
    LAN/Intranet
    Broadband - HIGH
    Broadband - MED
    Broadband - LOW
    Dial-up
    Dial-up Audio Only
    Streaming - Medium
    Streaming - Low
    (ii) Editing
    You can also edit videos better than you can in the Flip Video for Mac s/w. Have a 3 minute clip of your kid eating ice cream with tons of dead space? Why spend time importing that video into iMovie? Just use the scrub control on QTPro and pick on the portion of the video you care about and share that with others. QT is a much better product and software interface than the included software with the Flip Cam. Personally I feel imprisoned by the software on the Flip Video. First thing I did was run the Flip Video for Mac software which installed the 3ivx layer on top of QT. Now I just drag and drop the DCIM directory's AVI files to my Finder and use QTPro from there.
    (iii) Export to Web
    In addition to the wealth of Export options it provides, QTPro even has an export for web option which, in one fell swoop, creates three files:
    1. desktop
    2. iphone
    3. iphone celluar
    (iv) Poster Frame
    You know that video icon you see on your desktop? QTPro allows you to set that frame of your video that is your desired icon for quick reference later!
    (v) Share Options
    With nearly a single click you can share your movie via:
    Email
    HomePage
    Podcast Producer
    In the sizes of
    Small
    Medium
    Large

  • Is flip video software supported on the mini?

  • I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync.  They work fine when played in Quicktime.

    Hello,
    I am trying to edit a .mov video in Premiere Elements 12, but the video and audio do not sync as soon as I load it into the program.  It appears to work fine in Quicktime.
    Thanks in advance.

    mbgoodwi
    Thanks for the reply. This is the plan.
    Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace.
    In the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In the Change Settings area, select the project preset
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD LITE 720p30
    OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that appears, note that it has your new project preset named.
    Be sure to put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". And, then OK out of there.
    Back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders to bring your video
    into Project Assets. From Project Assets drag your video to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1.
    Is there an orange line over the content in the Timeline. See screenshot for orange line to which I am referring.
    There should be no colored line over the content if the project preset matches the video properties. But, if you do see
    that orange line, then render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or press
    the Render button above the Timeline.
    Do your video/audio now play back in the Edit area monitor in sync?
    Please let us know the result, and then we will decide what next.
    Thanks.
