H.264 video clipping when embedded in captivate 6.0

I am using captivate 6.1.0.319 and my embedded videos are clipping (not showing the last second or so)
The videos are of a compatible screen size and generated using premiere pro as H.264 mp4 files.
They work fine (although the audio volume is low compared to the other parts of the project - I think this is a known issue?!?) except for this clipping at the end (of both the audio and video).
The clipping occurs when I play the slide from the timeline, when I play the project, and when I generate the final output media (another mp4 file for upload to YouTube).
The video is on stage and seems to play ok with no clipping when i bring up the edit video timing dialog!
The video has the same duration indicated on the timeline as the source video file so i cant see that i have deliberately clipped it
Can anybody shed some light on this?

Hi there,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Could you please elaborate a little more on what exactly you are trying to accomplish?
If you saying that the videos are skipping the last few seconds, please make sure the frame per second of the inserted video and the project are same.
Thanks!

720P 30 H.264 videos stutter when played back on Windows

720P 30 H.264 videos stutter when played back on Windows
I have an interesting problem that I am hoping someone can help me with.
I have several short videos (2-4 minutes) in 1080i HDV that I have edited in FCP. When output to 720P 30 H.264 in Compressor at either 10 or 6 MB they look just drop dead gorgeous when played back on either of my dual processor Macs.
However when played back on a Windows machine with QuickTime 7, they stutter to the point that playback locks up. This happens on 1.5 GHz to 3.2 GHz P4 class machines with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM and 64 to 128 MB video cards. On the 3.2 GHz P4, the processor utilization peaks at 100%. The interesting thing is that all of these same Windows machines have no problem playing back 720p 24 trailers at 6 MB.
Thanks all.

First a correction. I am using the latest version of FCP – 5.
Regarding the encoding, I have tried going from native HDV MPEG-2 to H.264 at 720P from 10 to 4 MB at 24, 30 and 29.97. The Mac seems to play everything back very well, but most PCs (the latest IBM T 40 – 43 series laptops) a couple of Dell desk tops (2.6 GHZ with 64 and 128 MB graphic cards) and a 3.2 GHz Shuttle PC with a 128 MB graphic card (that we routinely use to decode four MPEG-4, 4CIF images simultaneously and display on a 42” ED Plasma) choke/stutter to varying degrees with processor utilization hitting 100%.
So, the real issue here is what is the difference between a 720p trailer that I can download from Apple and what I can output using Compressor 2 at a similar data rate – other than the frame rate?
And why does the Compressor output stutter on most PCs?

Flashing/noisy line at top of video clip when importing

Hi,
I am running into a strange problem when importing from my video camera. The top scan-line (or two) of the imported video clip is flashing! If anyone knows the reason for this, or has a solution to get rid of this problem altogether, please let me know! (its the first time I've ever tried importing!)
The workaround is to manually crop the top of the video, which I cant really do in imove for free? and would mean having to edit each clip...there goes onestep iDVD
I have a sony tvr310 digital 8 camera and am importing using firewire on my imac.
g5 imac Mac OS X (10.4.3) sony tvr310 digital 8 camera

Analog-to-DV conversion adds narrow black borders to the left & right (and some analog "head switching" noise to the bottom).
If you view the output on a TV, then the overscan will automatically crop the borders out. But if you view the output on a computer monitor, you might want to crop them out. You can do this with MPEG Streamclip ($0):

My TRV320 D8 doesn't have such lines so your problem sounds strange. Have you tried to clean the camcorders heads?

Bug in editing a video clip when deleting a portion of it

I'm trying to edit out the bad parts of a single video clip. I selected the clip in the event viewer and chose to open it in the timeline. When I cut the clip in two places using the blade, and then delete the portion in the middle using the backspace, it not only takes out the video and audio of the selected bad subclip (good!) but also the audio portion of the next good clip (bad!), but leaving the video of the next clip intact. Am I missing something? Looks to me like an obvious bug.

QuickTime does not automatically open video clips when double clicked

Quicktime does not open video clips in iPhoto when the video clips are double clicked (nothing happens). Quicktime will open the video clip if I open quicktime
and ask it to open the video clip. Regular photos will expand as they should when they are double clicked.

It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
Anyways, thanks Sabian,

Poor quality (vibration) on video clips when it burns onto DVD

We created 15 mins video on Final Cut Express, saved on Quick Time, and burned onto DVD. Although the video on Quick Time was fine, some of the quality of the video clips on DVD we burned was so poor....It had so much vibration on some of the video clips. We tried on both Best Performance & Best Quality, but they both had poor quality. Do you have any suggestions? Do you think upgrading to I Life 08 will help? Please Help!!!! Thanks!

It had so much vibration on some of the video clips.
Video on a DVD is mpg-2 compressed (which looks at frame to frame differences in compression) and is interlaced.
If you have content with lots of movement - like many hand-held shots - mpg-2 compression and interlacing will act to create lots of 'jumping' or 'vibration'. The only solution is to use a tripod and avoid shaky, hand-held shots.
BTW, for a short clip, 'Best Performance' will give you the best quality you can get.

I cannot import video clips when working with iMovie

I have a 13" Macbook Pro running Mavericks versión 10.9.4 but lately I do not know what happened since everytime I try to import video clips into my movie or trailer I am unable to get it. Those thumbnail are grey out, I can't drag them out into my project. Why ?

In Lion, one can select a video clip, go to finder services, and click on encode video...it will transcode the .mpg to something iMovie can handle. Far as I can tell, .mpg is not something iMovie likes to play with.

Narration does not stay with video clips when editing

I have been working on a large video project in PE7. I just finished adding approximately 100 narrations at various points in various clips. I then inserted a video clip that was missing and all the narrations seems to have shifted and are no longer in sync with the video clips. Any suggestions before and go to the timeline and move each clip?

If you inserted a clip, the timeline is designed to "ripple" or move over to allow for the clip.
If you don't want the timeline to ripple as you add new clips, hold down the Ctrl key as you add your clips.

Video play drags - Why does H.264 video drag when played using iPhoto?

I recorded video using a Canon HD camera (VIXIA HFM301). I downloaded the video to my MacBook Pro. When selecting the video from my photo library to watch, the replay drags; almost looks like the video is blurry. When i download to my old PC, it does not drag.

Material from a Camcorder goes into iMovie for processing, not iPhoto. Then you export the finished work and import it to iPhoto or wherever you choose. iPhoto is designed to get lightweight video from point and shoot cameras, not material from camcorders.

I am unable to play video clips. When I click play, nothing happens. I have a feeling I am missing a plug in. Windows media player works fine.

Cannot play video clips. when I click. I might be missing a plug in but I am not sure. I have shockwave and flash installed.

View video clip recording date in PRE7?

Hello,
The recording date information of video clips is embedded in my AVI-file but how can I view it in PRE7?
There must be a better solution than to open the file in my old software (Pinnacle) where this information can be found easily.
The video was captured through firewire from a digital camcorder (DV).
Cheers

Hans,
I do not use the Organizer, so do not know all of its power and limitations, but think that you should have the Metadata available there. Depending on the camera used, that should contain the shooting date, provided that the calender and clock were set on it. Does that not work with this footage?
I feel your pain, as I had to transfer 34 VHS tapes for editing a series of DVD's for the client. Luckily, his VHS camcorder started each scene with a Date/Time imprint. Now, this was often edited out, when I did the post-production work, but I would just look at the 'master" Clip, jot down that info, and then Title with it, say "Liz & Page Christmas 1985." As I transferred, I also made a shot log with all dates, plus notes on each scene, so I had much of that stuff already. Obviously, there was no Metadata in these to use, but many cameras do have that info now. Do not know all of the situations where it might not be accessible, or by which programs.
Good luck, and maybe some Organizer "power-user" can fill in the blanks for us both.

PS - Adobe is very lenient with mention of other programs, even direct competitors' apps. They seem fully committed to allowing the user the best possible experience, even if it means picking up a copy of ______. Most of us have all sorts of NLE's, and utilities in those "toolboxes." While I do use mostly Adobe programs, I have many others too. Some are highly specialized, and only get trotted out once per year. A few others see much more use, but even then, that usage pales to my use of Adobe products.

How to stop the jerking of my video clips? on Premiere Element 10

How do I stop the jerking of my video clips when I add effetcs ..to do not zoom in or out etc..smoothly.
Thank-you,
Claudette

Claudette,
When you started your Project, from the New Project screen, you were given some choices. If you do not recall what you chose, you can go to Edit>Projects Settings>General, and see what you chose. I do not think that location has moved in PrE 10, but if it has, someone will correct me.
Now, in very general circumstances, one should choose a Project Preset, that matches their Video Source Files 100%, or there can be issues.
However, if one ONLY has Still Images, and there is no Video being used, things differ a bit. In that instance, one would ask themselves a question, "how will I deliver my Video, created from those Still Images?" That answer might be a DVD-Video, a BD (Blu-ray Disc), a streaming Video files on a Web site, or as a file, that one sends to others. With a Stills Only Project, one would most likely choose a Project, that matches their delivery. If there are several delivery schemes used, then I would recommend choosing the one that is the highest resolution, and handling the others with Export/Share.
Now, within all Project Presets, there is a Frame Size, say 720 x 480 for an NTSC DV Project, designed to go to DVD-Video, or perhaps 1920 x 1080 for the production of a BD. Though PrE can Scale large Still Images to fit, it does not do the best job, and there is a major processing "hit," that can bring a computer to its knees. For those reasons, we recommend using a program, such as Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements, to do that Scaling, before one Imports the Still Images into the PrE Project. For SD (Standard Definition) DV, the "rule of thumb" is to Scale to 1000 x 750 pixels. For an HD Project, that same thinking would be 2000 x 1500 pixels. That gives one some "wiggle room." I will actually Scale to the exact pixel x pixel dimensions, unless I have a compelling reason to do otherwise - then, I will calculate the larger size, and Scale to exactly that.
How will you deliver your Project?
What are the specs. of the Project (using the method above)?
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of your images? If they are random, then concentrate on the larger ones, please.
Good luck,
Hunt

Exporting video clip from FCE4 to Live Type.

What is the correct way to save a video clip when exporting into Live Type so that you can access Live Type and place video clip in background to begin working?
Thanks.

Find the frame that you want on your Timeline. Press I and then O to mark in and out on the same frame. Go to the FCE menu bar: File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
Click the Format button and choose Still Image.
Click the Options button. In the new window that appears, click its Format button. Choose TIFF.
Give the file a name and a save destination.
In LiveType, make sure that it's Project Properties (Edit menu) are set to match the codec used in FCE's Sequence setting.
Go to File > Place (not Place Background Movie, that no longer applies). Choose the image that you just saved.
You might have to make some adjustments to the image depending on the codec you are using in FCE. Post again with that information please.

Sync multiple video clips with one audio track

I'm an FCPX noob, trying to sync some clips. I recorded a 1.5 hour concert with a DSLR along with an audio track using a separate digital recorder. I have seven video clips, all in sequence (stopping and restarting the camera because of clip length limitations) and one long audio track in WAV format. The audio track is longer than the combined video clips, and there are some short dead spaces in between the video clips when I turned off/on. Now I'm trying to sync them but when I do, the video clips get stacked together with lots of overlap.
I made a test with 3 minute video and audio clips and had no problem. But when I try to do the whole event, I get a jumbled mess.
I could cut the audio into pieces and sync each piece with its corresponding video, but that seems to defeat the sync process, as well as being a lot of work. And, wouldn't I end up with lots of overlap anyway, since my audio clips would have to be longer than my video clips?
Am I missing an easier way to do this, or a way to arrange things better? I can't imagine the problems with several cameras and several audio tracks; my project is actually pretty simple, since it is very linear.
Any suggestions? Thanks--

Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Thank you for this advice, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Is there a way to set the angle on all of the clips at the same time?
Yes. Select all the clips you want in the browser, and then in the inspector fill in the camera angle with the value you want. This can be just about anything, it does not have to be a number. I prefer to name it something meaningful, like "wide" or something.

Premiere video clip into Illustrator

Hi all,
I seen a video clip when cs3 first came out. The male author was showing how from Premiere Pro, place a video clip ( a D.J. spinning records) into Illustrator and then changing the colours and back into Premiere. Tried to find it, but cannot.
