H264 MPEG AVI import video timeline problem

Hi,
I am a new user of Adobe Premiere CS4.  I am having a problem of importing H264 MPEG AVI files.  I set my project to be HDV 720p 30fps.  I grabbed Gspot and it has identify my video is a H264 codec name H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.  When I import the video I setup the timeline and when I do a playback review in the far left window (default setting).  It play the vido super fast, but the audio is playing normally.  I zoom in the timeline and it seems to think each second is one frame.  So it is playing the video like 30x speed(not 100% on how much faster, just lot).  What am I doing wrong?
After playing around some more, it looks like the video are keyframes as the time jump from frame to frame is huge, not what it look like in a WMP.  Did I somehow imported and it stripped out the deltas?

I looked at the thread and tried it, I get this error.

  • Convert to video timeline problem

    I've been having this problem with the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Cs6.
    Whenever I try to access 'convert to video' timeline, it's missing, and I therefore can't work with keyframes in Photoshop Cs6.
    I have tried installing and uninstalling several times, and have downloaded the set-up package directly from Adobe's website, in order to reinstall again.
    Adobe has given me an error about compatibility with the graphics card with my PC, but I'm not sure how to address or fix the error.
    And for the record, here are the specs of my PC, in case anyone asks.
    I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
    EDIT:
    Also, here's more screenshots of my problem:

    Please go to Photoshop > Help > System Info. Copy and paste that here for us to see your complete system information.
    Other than that, Adobe's message says that you uncheck the 'Use Graphics Processor' checkbox as the video card you're using is not officially supported by Photoshop yet.
    To do that, follow these steps:
    On your Windows PC, you can find 'Performance' option under 'Edit' from top menubar.
    Uncheck the tick next to 'Use Graphics Processor' (2) in the image above.
    See if this fixes your issue.

  • Noodles Development - importing video file problem

    Hi, Everyone...

  • [Important] Video sync problem

    There are some video files that I converted to mp4 format.
    but some of their videos are not in sync with audio.
    The video appears a little bit later behind the audio.
    Subtle but definite.
    This problem appears same on my computer's quicktime player.
    but this doesn't happen when I use other video players.
    What do you think of the cause of this problem?
    p.s. Only when I use vlc player or oplayer which don't need encoding, this problem hasn't appeared.

  • IMovie freezes when importing video

         I am using iMovie 10.0.6 and trying to import video from a JVC Everio GM-HM320BU.  I have been importing video without problems for quite some time, but always from the main memory of the camcorder.  Recently I had to record some video on the SD card installed in the camcorder as extra memory.  I received the error message "iMovie cannot import your selection" and iMovie froze.  I had to "force quit" iMovie.  After reading a bit, I realized I should have imported the video on the SD card via a card reader and that it cannot be import in the usual manner.
         But now I get the same message from iMovie every time I try to import video, even from the main memory of the camcorder, and iMovie freezes.  It appears iMovie needs to be reset so it can import video from the main memory.  HELP.

    Sounds like an elegant solution if in fact you have iLife '06 from which to restore. For those of us that have recently purchased an Apple product (because "it just works") this is not a viable option. I'm not going to go out and purchase any previous versions of iLife when I paid for what is supposed to be the latest greatest. Obviously the solution already exists because it was working fine before the last update, seems to me that it should be simple enough to turn back the clock a little so that we can all get back to work. Don't get me wrong I'm happy for you that you've found a solution, I'd probably do the same thing if I could. Right now my strategy is to continue to complain until something gets done, I encourage everyone that has this issue to weigh in. As for now my "work around" is to back to my PC based computer to download and edit all my video. "How do you like them apples", Apple.

  • Avi h264 will not show video

    Hi all, I am completely baffled at the moment. I am running 2 systems, both with adobe premiere elements 10 and full content packs. I have also installed k-lite codecs pack on both machine. One is a dell i5 lptop and the other is an i7 tower. I am editing the same set of videos, I have copied a set to my desktop and have another set on my laptop. The issue is this:
    On the laptop I open premiere, get media and select the avi file I want to edit, the file appears and you can see the image of the video file. It is then OK to work from and edit.
    On the desktop, I open premiere, get medi and select the avi file I want to edit, the file appears but this time there is no image just the audio sign. I try to put it intot he video timeline but it only imports the audio.
    I have been stumped all night. Why will it work on one machine and not the desktop?
    Please can someone help me with this?
    The format is h264 mpeg-4 (part 10)
    Cheers
    Darryl

  • Problem importing video file to PSE Organizer

    I use both PE7 and PSE7 and have been steadily importing my video files using PSE7's "organizer" but have encountered a problem with one particular file.
    I use the PSE7 "Get photos and videos" menu and when I select this file the computer seems to "hang" and then close PSE7 without any error message.  Other video files (.avi) created in exactly the same way can be imported without this problem (although oddly some do seem to take rather a long time for PSE7 to "process").  The offending file is quite large (1.1GB) but I have not had this problem with other files even larger than this.
    Interestingly, I can import the file into my catalog using PE7 (usimg the "Get media" menu) but if I do that it subsequently creates a problem in PSE7.  When I try to open up the Organizer in PSE7 after importing the offending video file using PE7, the PSE7 Organizer appears normally but with a message "creating thumbnails" at the bottom of the screen.  This lasts for 10 seconds or so and then the programme shuts down without any error message.
    I think I must have a "poison file".  In this situation what should I do?  Like many other "clips" already imported, the offending file was created from processing material on a Hi-8 (analogue) tape using the "pass-through" conversion technique.  I could I suppose therefore simply repeat the process as I still have the original tape but wondered if there is a better (easier) solution.
    This is proving a really useful forum so thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Some thoughts
    1 -- You say this is an avi file created from processing material on a Hi-8 analog tape using pass-through, so I think that it is probably a DV-AVI file. What software did you use to capture the DV-AVI file to your computer ? (perhaps Premiere Elements 7 or Windows Movie Maker)?
    2 --  I suspect that your realistic options will be determined by whether Premiere Elements 7 can process this file or not. So that is what I would try first.
    Can you place that clip on the PRE 7 Timeline and then Export it to a different file (this would be a new DV-AVI file.)?  OR - What is at the very front of the problematic clip?  If you don't need the content at the front, I would try trimming off the contents at the front of the clip.(because that is what would be used to create the thumbnail), then Export to a new DV-AVI file.
    However if the problem turns out to be with the control information stored within that specific avi file and Premiere Elements can not process this file, then repeating the conversion process for that specific file may be the solution.
    3 -- FYI - You will probably need to delete that problematic file from your PSE catalog. Not sure if you will be able to do that from Photoshop Elements or if it shuts down too soon.
    4 -- FYI - Despite the fact that your problem happens in Photoshop Elements, your potential solutions may come from Premiere Elements. Therefore, I might be suggesting moving this discussion to another forum. For now, I suggest that you respond to this thread.

  • Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

    Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
    When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
    1280x720
    frame rate of 23.976
    using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
    "embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
    When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Mike

    Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

  • Import Sony HDD video/audio problems

    I have tried to import video footage from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR82 hard drive camcorder into Premiere Pro CS3, but it only imports the video...no audio. It works fine if I import it into Premiere Pro 2. Thanks for any help you can provide. OS - Windows Vista. All updates to Premiere CS3 have been installed.

    Here's the original message I read with the fix:
    There is a fix!!!!!
    If you have Encore CS3 installed...just copy the file ad2ac3dec.dll from the Encore CS3 directory and paste it into the Premier Pro CS3 root directory. This will allo PPcs3 to accept mpeg files with the ac3 extention. If you already have files imported in your projects...you will have to remove those files and re-import them. So far there are no side effects to this process. Have fun all you damn sony camcoder owners.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc46794
    It works brilliantly. Unfortunately, once you get that fixed you will find yourself with another problem...random red frames in your projects. We use SR-82s at work and I have a Sony SR-1. Both cameras' mpgs will give you the red frame problem in CS3.
    As a workaround, you can convert your mpgs to avi or re-encode with h.264 codec before importing into CS3. That worked for me.

  • LR4 doesn't import video files .avi and cannot playback

    Hello,
    I have a big issue with my brand new Lightroom 4.
    I've been working on my updated catalog (from LR3) very well, since I tried to import fotos and videos from my second camera (olympus E-PL1).
    This "old" catalog contains RAW files (NEF and ORF), Jpeg and Video files (.avi).
    In LR3 I had no problems in importing video file and in playing the back with the external player.
    Now in LR4 is a real disaster!
    I cannot even import .avi files properly.
    LR is importing fotos but is giving a failure message on most of the video (avi) file.
    Sometimes it imports just few videos and sometimes none of them.
    I've tried to import them in differnt way: from camera directly, from a card reader, from an external drive and even from the c: hard drive. i've tried to move, and to add them in catalog. NO WAY!
    I've also tried to clean the video cache: no changes. To disable GL accelerator: no results. I have no further idea.
    I can play these video files in all applications, from WMP to Quicktime. I have also Vlan installed.
    Furthermore, while trying to import or playback videos. LR4 is slowing up in a very strange way. And sometime is crashing the last imported session (files not foud)
    I've tried to reinstall it, but I didn't see any different result.
    I've searched everywhere in the web for a possible solution, but I didn't find anything.
    Avi file I'm talking about are coming from a olympus camera E-PL1, they are in 720p.
    Please help me, beacuse I am very disappointed wih thios new video feature.
    Thank you in advance!
    Marco

    Yes, I did and I got a strange outcome.
    I checked Quicktime, and I reinstalled it.
    I restarted the PC.
    When LR4 opens, the processes
    dynamiclinkmanager.exe
    dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe
    Adobe QT32 Server.exe.
    are not working.
    After I opened the import dialog these services started.
    For the first time after restarting the PC; I could import a small video and I could playback it without problems.
    The second try of importing more videos (4 small ones), went well, but at the playback moment, everything freezed again.
    I tried to restart lightroom and to kill the processes listed above, but I had no luck.
    Only restarting the PC I could (and not always) importing the videos. The playback did work just few times.
    If the first task, after restarting the PC and Lightroom is importing (without waiting the previews of the importing box) generally there is no problem.
    If I work with my catalog, which contains videos as well, then the importing dialog (for videos) is not working.
    The playback feature seems to be a matter of luck, 90% ot times is not working well.
    I run a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
    A similar problem was reported as a bug in this post, and if so I wonder why there are not many other users reporting the same problems.

  • CS4 Importing Video Problem

    Hello, so I just installed Photoshop CS4 on my laptop (I'm using windows)
    So I decided to make a GIF from a video, but I've got a problem with it.
    At the very first step, I can't import the video (file > import >  videos frames to layers) it says that 'Could not complete the Videos  Frames to Layers command because QuickTime version 7.1 or later is  required'
    In fact, I've downloaded a QuickTime version 7.6.7
    Can anyone help me please?

    The file is compressed with a specific CoDec not supported by legacy QT or Windows media features and thus not readable in Photoshop. This pretty much affects allDicvX, Xvid and various other custom, out of spec MPEG-4 flavors that some digital phot cameras produce. It needs to be converted in another program, e.g. MPEGStreamclip, SUPER© and so on...

  • Odd problems while trying to Import video to layers and "a program error"

    Hi there,
    I'm having problems importing video (tried .avi and .mp4) to layers on my Photoshop CS5, using laptop with Windows 8.
    First of all, I cannot see the buttons "pause/play" and so I also cannot choose the part I'd like to import to layers. It shows as a black row as seen below:
    And this is the only video (.mp4) I can see the "review" video, also can blindly press the buttons where the black row is, which is basically impossible to get anything done.
    With my .avi videos (which work perfectly with my friend) it shows absolutely nothing:
    I tried to go with pressing OK anyway, and this is what I saw next:
    I had installed http://support.apple.com/kb/DL762 QuickTime 7.6 for Windows, so it shouldn't be the issue?
    I restarted my computer and my Photoshop and it didn't seem to make any difference.

    Sorry, must double post now! I really need the help. I've tried to find it myself around here, found a thread with someone having the exact same problem, but so far no good

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

  • Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Why?

    Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Any way to solve this problem?

    I don't have your model but here are some things to try.
    1) Make sure you are powering the camcorder with AC power not batteries.
    2) Open iMovie before connecting the Camcorder
    3) Connect the USB Cable and turn on the camcorder
    4) Open the LCD screen of the camcorder. Does it give you a choice of Pictbridge vs. PC Mode. If so, choose PC Mode.
    5) iMovie import screen should come up.
    Also, make sure you have installed all software updates. (/Software Update). If the software update requires you to restart your Mac, then restart your Mac before proceeding. Install iMovie, iLife, Quicktime, and Leopard updates.
    If that still does not work, try taking out your SD card and putting in a USB card reader.
    If that still does not work, put the card back in the camcorder and make a disk image of the card using disk utility. After making the disk image, try formatting the card using your camcorder menu. Then retry shooting some footage and importing.
    By the way, using MPEG streamclip should not create files any larger than iMovie will create using an import function.

  • Problem importing video from a DV camera into the new imovie 10.0?  I have a Sony DCR TRV17 connected via Firewire port that worked in 9.0.9 but not under 10.0...

    I have a Sony DCR TRV17 that I used to pass through VCR tape video via Firewire port to my Mac Pro under Imovie 9.0.9 without an issue.   Now under Imovie 10.0 the video shows in the import window, I can start recording yet when I stop recording the recorded clips do not show up anywhere.  The movie file I'm creating still indicates that I still need to import video.   Anyone having similar problems?

    Hey Dave,
    I had this issue only once before but was lucky enought to find it was a specific event causing the import to freeze. It took me some time to isolate the problem though. I would recommend letting it sit there for some time before you try any troubleshooting. Larger libraries can take long periods of time to update.
    This is a good thread for this issue.  I would first try removing the iMovie.plist as elikness mentions.
    1. Open Finder
    2. Click on "Go" in the menu bar.
    3. Click on Go To Folder on the dropdown menu.
    4. Type "~/Library/Preferences/" in the text field and click Go.
    5. Find the com.apple.iMovie(some number).plist file and move it to Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iMovie to see if this took care of the issue before attempting the next step. If you're still having an issue then you can try what I needed to do which is isolating the problem event.
    1. Open Finder.
    2. Go to the Movies folder. You should see iMovie Events here.
    If you have a larger event library I'd recommend renaming the iMovie Events folder to say, "iMovie Events COPY". Then create a new empty folder named “iMovie Events”. When you launch iMovie 9.0.9 all events will be missing at this point. Quit iMovie if it is open. Then you can either drag each event from iMovie Events COPY to iMovie Events or you can select and drag several at a time. Each time you drag an event folder back into the new iMovie Events folder launch iMovie 9.0.9 to see if you are having the same issue. Wash and repeat until either you have found the problem event or you have imported all events.
    If you find the problem event you can reimport the clip from iMovie 9.0.9 by going to File > Import > Movies and navigating to that events iMovie Original Movies folder to find the clip.
    Hope this helps!
