HD 1080i footage won't play

I'm trying to play multiple pieces of footage shot in 1080i. Quicktime will not play it. I do get audio on some of them, but the video is white which makes me think that I'm missing a codec.
I'm using a dual 2.7 with quicktime pro. So, I have no clue what I would be missing. Does someone know which coded handles hd footage and where I can go to get it. Or if I'm going wrong in some other area, let me know.
Help!

Have you tried playing the video using VLC? I've always found this alternative player to be a good option, especially with regards to providing specific information on video and audio formats from the drop-down menu.
Otherwise, once you launch the video in QT, go Window>show movie properties. What format is displayed in the video track window?
Certainly your machine should be able to handle the weight of the video, and the white screen at least pulling up tells me you are missing a video codec, which is your idea as well - the question is, which one...
I doubt you are looking at video from MPEG-2HD, but it is possible as you mentioned "footage."

  • Specific set of XDCam EX720p50 footage won't play in Premiere (or After Effects)

    Hi There
    I've been given a media drive full of past projects and media by a client, which contains (among other things) .mov files which Quicktime Player Movie Inspector tells me are XDCam EX720p50 35Mb/s VBR 1280x720, 16 bit integer (little-endian), Stereo 48Khz.  The sound plays fine, but the video shows only a red screen with occasional digital-dropout-like square flicking across the screen.
    This PC system is newly installed and running OK, and footage of the same type (given the same credentials by Quicktime Player) from a different client plays fine in Premiere
    (Quicktime player will open both sets of files and give you the info, but sends you to the extra-codec page)
    So my conclusion is there's a problem with the set of files that won't play (rather than the system)
    And my question is....
    WHAT CAN I DO?  Can anyone give me some advice on how I might get these files working?  They have been edited before in a previous version of Premiere by another editor, without issue so they should work...
    All help appreciated
    Thanks

    (Premiere CS5.5, Win 7 64bit, core i7 2600K at 4.8Ghz, 16Gb RAM, GeFore GTX 570)

    I have a similar problem. A friend sent me the .mov files he recordedin the XDCAM 16x9 1920x1080 . I can't import them into my Win7 Premiere Pro. Codec Missing or unavailable. Lots of people seem to have the same proble id using a PC - particularly when they have been sent the .mov files on a hard drive. The folder
    I can play the videos using VLC but not on WindowsMedia or DivX (sound only) or with QuickTime ( won't load - needs new software from Adobe plugins)
    If this is a codec problem why can VLC play it?
    I have checked out the files with MediaInfo and they are slightly different to the above. Are there ary rules to determing the value of the parameter for the bat file for my mov file. I think this looks like stereo but you will recognise the information you would need. I tried the current bat but that has another audio file map.

  • HDV footage won't play smoothly in CC

    I found my question on the forum and I'm having the same problem too, this is very frustrating.  Once in a While it's necessary to use HDV footage (i wish i didn't have to, but...) "When playing the HDV footage, it freezes in the preview window and in the sequence too, until I hit stop it will jump to that point in the clip. If I lay just the audio clip play it plays perfectly (me too). The settings and loading is accurate to the project. Frame rate 29.97/ 1440x1080. I have imported these clips in CS6 which play flawlessly (in the past this was not a problem) but not in CC."
    Please fix this problem or lets find a work around... this project is heavy based on HDV shot in 2011 - this will happen every so often - we're still going to need to get the job done.
    thank you

    When I have the symptoms you have described, I find switching to the software renderer rather than the GPU enhanced Mercury engine often fixes it.

  • Playbck window is green and footage won't play

    Hi,
    I'm using an ACER Aspire 5920, and the Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Operating System. Last month I did some filming on a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder then imported the footage into Premiere Pro CS4 and did all the editing bits and pieces I needed to do. A very smooth process.
    However I've tried to do the same this month and although I've used the same camcorder and not changed any of my Premiere Pro settings I'm having trouble editing.
    When I click the play button to show the footage in the playback screen, the screen is green and I cannot see any footage at all, but I can hear the audio. When I click on the playback window, the audio playback stops but the first image from the footage appears. When I click play again, the footage image disappears, I can hear audio but only see green screen.
    Image here show's the problem:
    Any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to give!

    Liv,
    The embedded Intel graphics chips are good for general computing, but fall very short for either image editing, or especially video editing. It's not so much the chips themselves (though they are limited too), but the lack of driver support. With a desktop, the "fix" is to bypass the embedded chip (by DIP switches, jumpers or through the BIOS), and replacing their function with an nVidia, or ATI card. Unfortunately, with a laptop, this is not normally possible (would say is totally impossible, but there might be some exceptions).
    The problem is that an NLE program, like PrPro, has to interface much more closely with the video driver, than almost any other program on one's computer. Photoshop is similar, though not to the level that PrPro is. Video drivers are very, very important with video-editing.
    Glad that you have a new machine on order. Go with nVidia, or ATI for the graphics, and be wary of any mfgr., that does a proprietary driver. I ran afoul of such with an older Toshiba. Though it had nVidia chips, it would ONLY work with the Toshiba re-written drivers, and Toshiba never issued any. I had to "roll my own," and that was a bit of work. Both Dell and HP seem to do some video driver tweaking, but are much more regular with their releases. Not sure how Toshiba does nowadays.
    Good luck,

  • 1080i footage played in Viewer only displays field 1

    I'm using an iMac without an external monitor.  I have 1080i footage.  I can jog forward a field at a time and see both fields individually in the viewer.  But when played real time, my iMac only displays field 1.  Same thing if I play it back full screen.
    I know I wouldn't have this problem if I had an external monitor.  But is there a setting somewhere so the iMac will display both fields during playback?
    It's a 2011 iMac.  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.
    THANKS.

    Thanks Tom.  Yes, with that setting both fields are displayed, but only when the sequence is paused.  You'll see both fields when paused, but only see field 1 when playing.
    You can forward a field at a time with Option and left or right arrow.  In Time Display, turn on "show subframes" in the Time Code display.  Field 1 is 00 subframes.  Field 2 is 40 subframes.
    Strangely, the Event Browser Display works differently.  In that window I can see both fields when it plays. And the "display both fields" in the Event Browser Display must have a bug.  It doesn't work for me, it always displays both fields.
    But in the main Viewer I only see field 1 while playing.

  • Audio soundtrack won't play when burn to DVD or save to a file!  HELP!

    When I edit and playback a video project, the soundtrack plays back fine.  But when I burn to DVD or export to a file, the soundtrack is silent.  It DOES still play audiotracks that are from the original video footage, but it won't play the soundtrack song that I added to the video.  I have this problem only when I make a HD version.  The sountrack source file is in standard WAV format (44.1 khz).  The project settings include:
    Editing mode HDV 1080i
      Timebase 29.97 frames/sec
      Video frame size 1440x1080
    Thank you for your help!!!

    Glad that it worked.
    As to why the Fixed Soundtrack sometimes has issues, I haven't a clue. What version of PrE are you working on?
    Several users have reported issues with both the Fixed Soundtrack, and Narration Tracks, not working properly, but those cases seem to be Project specific, in that when the same users use those Fixed Tracks, in other Projects, everything works fine. In every case, that I can recall, the "fix" has been to Move the Audio Clips to an empty "regular" Audio Track.
    The issues seem to have cropped up in about PrE 7, and continued through PrE 9. Again, because the problems with those Tracks, seems to be Project related, it is tough to diagnose what the real "cause" is. To date, I do not recall anyone having the issues in PrE 10, but maybe no one has hit the right combo of criteria (we have never been able to nail down what those criteria are) in a Project, to cause the problems.
    Wish that we could track the problem down to something specific, so we could just say, "Don't do that," but we do not know what "that" is. Until we do, we'll just keep recommending that users Move the Clips to another regular Audio Track.
    Good luck,

  • Video won't Play

    For some reason my footage in FCP 6 won't play properly. I am using the new 24inch imac. I am editing a full feature film. I made a first cut of the film in one sequence that came out to about an hour long, and named it First Cut. I played the one hour sequence and had no problems with it. It didn't even seem to be dropping any frames. Last Sunday I captured some additional footage in a bin that I named October 4th. The new footage was running fine from the bin. I even made two new short sequences from that footage and kept it stored in the October 4th Bin later intending to cut it into the Master First Cut sequence (haven't done that yet though). Then yesterday when I opened up final cut pro, I noticed that all of the footage in the October 4th bin was reported as media offline. This was very strange cause I never moved any of the files around, and I searched my entire hard drive and it was nonexistant (not a big problem cause I could recapture it). I opened up some older bins to check that the rest of my footage was still intact and running, which it was. I then opened up the First Cut Sequence, hit play, and noticed that even though the scroll bar was rolling, there was no audio or video. I then went to check other older footage and noticed that no files at all from any project would play in the viewer or canvas. Scroll bar would move, but no sound or video. So I closed all projects and restarted final cut, and all of the old footage was running perfectly again. But then when I opened up the First cut sequence and hit play, I noticed that this file was playing without video or audio again, and this time it was also reporting that it was dropping frames. I then went to open up other projects to check on them, and again every other project in final cut wouldn't display video or audio even though the scroll bar was rolling. Basically every time I close all of the projects and restart final cut, everything works fine. But as soon as I open up First Cut and try to play it, every file in all bins or projects stops working properly. This problem started the same time that I found that the October 4th files went offline and disapeared nowhere to be found. I tried trashing the preferences, but it didn't solve the problem. I am wondering if I should reinstall final cut. But if the problem is some corrupted file either from the offline October 4th files or the First Cut sequence, then I am worried that the problem might arise again after the installation. Or is it possible that the First Cut sequence was so big that every time I open it is is confusing the entire program (even though this sequence had no problems in the past and those October 4th went offline for no logical reason).
    Sorry for the awfully long message. If anyone has got any ideas or has had a similar experience I would really appreciate the feedback.

    Paragraphs.
    You need paragraphs.
    Without them, it's impossible for old eyes to read through the solid block of text, let alone sort out the issues.

  • Premiere Pro won't play media intermittently in Yosemite

    Hello all,
    I have a Premiere Pro CC 2014 (2014.1 Release, the latest one) installed on Yosemite 10.10.
    It's running on a  Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model) with 16gb of RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD, AMD Radeon 6750 Card with 1GB of RAM.
    On Mavericks 10.9.5 it all ran perfectly.
    On Yosemite I have intermittent problem with media playing.
    After a restart if I open Premiere Pro and open any of my projects it will say media loaded, however it won't play it. If you hit play nothing happens. The videos won't show either in source window or timeline. Quitting the program results in a hang. I have to force quit the application and than I get an error Premiere Pro encountered a serious error. Upon second program open, the media will work fine and everything will work fine. That's until I turn off the computer or restart it and than it's over again. I have to open the program, force quit it and only than it will work.
    I cleared Premiere's preferences, caches, moved media to a different drive, reinstalled Premiere Pro and even clean installed the operating system. The problem persists.
    What's interesting is that if I open Premiere after a restart and start a NEW project, import the media and start editing, it will work. When I save it and quit and than open the program again it will show the same problem and I'll have to force quit it after which it will work again.
    The only plugin I have is Neat Video 3.6.
    This problem is really annoying and I hope someone can help me solve it out.
    All best,
    Goran

    Hi CopyCatFilms,
    Shouldn't Adobe be the one updating to account for video card driver changes?  I thought that was the benefit of paying monthly? 
    We test all GPUs with current drivers, but new drivers can come out faster than releases of Premiere Pro. Also, we can't update Premiere Pro every time there is a driver update. That would be pretty difficult to pull off. Sorry.
    If not, please advise on which NVIDIA graphics driver will actually work with PrPro. Because this is NOT working. Currently running: CUDA Driver Version: 6.5.45
    Typically, we recommend that you install the latest drivers for your GPU. It sounds like you have done so. Most people are having best success with these drivers on systems running OS X 10.10.2. Are you updated to that version?
    It renders out complete videos with weird pixel bugs across them. 
    When did it start behaving this way? After installing the new drivers? After updating OS X? After updating a Premiere Pro project from Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1) to Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)? We need more info to assist you: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    Not to mention, it crashes 10 times a day...running back to FCPX.
    If you're crashing that many times per day, you should troubleshoot your system with our agents. Contact them M-F 7AM-7PM PST. Ask for the "video queue." You can either chat or get a phone call going: Contact Customer Care
    The other possibility is that by updating OS X, you may have changed the read write permissions of crucial Adobe folders. See this article for an explanation and a potential fix:
    Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    I also recommend the following steps for Mac users having trouble crashing on Mavericks or Yosemite:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Delete media cache
    Delete preview files
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    Let us know if any of these steps worked for you.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • .MOV file won't play in QuickTime Player? QT Components?

    I have a bunch of .MOV clips on my hard drive that I'd like to ultimately import to Final Cut Express (4.0.1) to edit (my wedding video!!). If I double click on the clip, it automatically opens in QuickTime Player (7.6.9), and I then prompted to a QuickTime Components website. I'm not sure why the .MOV clips won't play, since I believe I have the latest version of QT. What should I do?
    Additional information on the .MOVE files: original format is MPEG HD, dimensions: 1280 x 720, Codecs: XDCAM EX 720p30 (35 Mb/s VBR) Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
    Thank you for your help!

    Upon further research, I found that a certain QT plug-in is required to use XDCAM EX footage in Final Cut Express, which can be found on this website:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
    I downloaded the demo, but have no idea how to use it to convert my files so FCE will accept it.  Is anyone familiar with this plug-in and what to do once it is downloaded? 

  • Dvd-r recorded from 8mm won't play in macbook pro?

    Happy super bowl Sunday! I recently burned some 8mm footage onto a dvd-r using a samsung vhs/dvd converter. The dvd plays perfectly on all dvd players in the house but it won't play on my macbook pro or my imac. I've looked into systems to hook the camera (which by the way is about 15 years old) up to my mac but it's about a 160.00 converter box to go from a/v cables to firewire 400/800.
    Anyway, looking at all these forums it seems like I need to find a way to finalize the dvd-r???? Is that all there is to it? I'm not even sure if there is that option on the samsung dvd box? I just spent around $4000.00 on this macbook pro and my home imac. I made the switch for the ease of operation making movies. Unfortunately, so far this is tougher than I thought is would be.
    Dave

    Thanks for answering. Yes I checked it today and I re-recorded the video again. I chose to finalize it at the end and to my surprise it worked on my computer. However, it will play for a short time and then freeze in different spots. I can't restart it, It won't continue. Dvd player stops it real quick then I try with VLC and it plays even more but still does the same thing.
    I'm not sure if it's the speed or something else. There aren't too many options for recording on the Samsung DVD 300 model dvd recorder.
    Sure wish this was easier. Should be easier for me. I bought all these apple products for this purpose and it sure is convoluted.

  • PPro CS4 won't play back

    Suddenly video in Premiere Pro CS 4.0.0 for Mac won't play back from source window, program window, or timeline, except for an occasional playback of < 1 second. Scarily this was described by a bunch of users in a thread started two years ago. Only one solution was offered there, which didn't apply to my Mac.
    I was involved in another thread on a related subject in this forum once before but that setup seemed connected to the use of a Dazzle Bridge for capturing. There's no such complication now...it's just not playing any video more than a few frames.
    An editor who can't playback any video is in trouble, and after paying as much as I did for this program and a Mac Pro, it is disheartening. Any ideas out there?

    I appreciate everyone's help but I'm afraid the situation has gone from bad to worse, since Premiere suddenly disappeared.
    Yesterday, following one bit of forum advice, I tried using a separate user account labeled Premiere Pro and the program did play the files--though it wouldn't let me save the project file where it resided. Now, however, the program is nowhere to be found. I have the original installation disk but I have heard of problems arising from reinstallations.
    To answer some other questions, I did try to download the latest update for PPro CS4. I am using PPro for Mac on a Mac Pro with a 10.5.8 OS. I can't say for certain exactly which version I "have" of PPro CS 4 since the update because the program has disappeared and is not turning up in the Finder anywhere, nor can I recall the exact wording of the error message saying I couldn't save my project as edited under the alternate user. The program and system worked fairly problem free for almost four years before the last few days. I use a variety of source footage, including .avi, .mov, .flv, .mp3, .wav.
    One Snow Leopard user has recommended using a Root User account which doesn't seem to apply here. For example, he referred to a "Network Account  User" option that was supposed to appear in Accounts/Login Options but doesn't on my Leopard. Also, as per another user at Trafford College, I revised permissions to select Everyone...however since the program isn't appearing on my computer, there's no telling if that worked.
    Community help is greatly appreciated--especially in light of one forum report of someone who was on the phone with Adobe for hours with this kind of problem but without getting it solved.

  • 1080i footage to 24P?

    Hi All,
    Just wondering. I have somne 1080i and also, 1080-24P footage I'd like to put on one HD/BluRay Disc as a 24P (or simply progressive) project. Is it possible to take my 1080i footage, and somehow, make it into Progressive (frame by frame) footage? Or would this simply be a bad idea and be of horrible quality when compared to real (recorded as) 24P source footage?

    RedTruck and Hanumang,
    Thanks! Honestly, here is why I asked.. I have 2 projects, off YES - the HV20. Hate it or love it - this Cam is awesome for the $1,000 I spent. I do hate the aggravation of the 'not so 24P' aspect of it - BUT, since performing the reverse Telecine in Compressor - I'm REAAALLLY Happy. (that is, on the one reel I have shot - in 24 Cinema mode, not the 1080i reel in question and the subj. of this post) The footage (the 24P footage that was put thru reverse telecine) is pristine. It looks much better then my friend's footage, off his $3500 Sony 3 CCD HD Cam - for whatever the reason..
    At any rate, I first shot a 1080i reel. Then switched over to the 24 Cinema Mode Setting, which is still saved to tape as 'interlaced', so I hear. This is why I brought it into FCP as 1080i - sent to Compressor and made it to 24p using reverse Telecine. I set frame rate to 23.976 like the Apple Article Stated to do - on Apple Support website. I then saved the clips and started a NEW Project in FCP - with easy set up for 1080P/Basic Firewire. I placed clips in Timeline and all duplicate frames were gone. I scanned thru, one clear frame at a time, and it was mint. So then, I wanted the original 1080i reel to be part of "same final video" - Hence This Post!
    So yea, I can 'play around' with your suggestions.. However, it does seem like the 1080i reel, may be looking degraded from what you've both written! LoL. UGH.
    So, My FINAL question?: How about, simply adding any 1080i material to this 1080/24P project as is, leaving it interlaced. Can't FCP do this? Like, I read it can handle any format in same project? But, if I want the final output to be an HD DVD - some footage would be proper, pristine, 24P/24 FPS - and some 1080i. I'm not sure if the DVD would look and play back - with no detrimental side effect? (on a set top layer)

  • Chapter one won't play

    This is odd. I have several chapters in my movie (created in FCP). They all imported fine into DVD SP. I used a DVD SP template, everything works great in the simulator. I burned the disk as disk image. Everything plays fine on the computer. But when I put the DVD in a dvd player, the first chapter won't play. I get a disc error. However, if I play any of the other chapters, they work fine. Also, if I play chapter 2 and then just rewind a little I can see the footage from chapter one. I can even view it if I don't rewind too far. But if I rewind too far (to the beginning of chapt. 1) then I get another disc error.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Welcome to the forum!
    What did you set the 'First Play' for the disc to?

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't play anything.

    Today I launched up a brand new install of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (it's a trial) on a brand new iMac (3.5 GHz intel Core i7, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB) and my project that was working fine yesterday on my MacBook Air will not play anything. The footage is all DSLR H.264. My sequences won't play, my clips won't play, my merged clips won't play, my multi cam sequences won't play. You hit play and the play button changes to a stop button, but nothing happens. I tried logging in as root but it won't play there either. All the footage is sitting on an external 4TB Lacie thunderbolt drive.
    Any thoughts??

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Won't Play Anything Without Stopping

    I have captured HDV and DV footage and Premiere won't play anything. Not in the Source monitor, not in the Timeline/Program Monitor. It won't even play a color matte or bars and tone. It will play for less than a second, stop and the marker will go back to the original starting point.
    I am running PPro on a Macbook Core 2 Duo and the footage is fine. I can play it outside of Premiere in other programs but I cannot figure anything out inside of Premiere. Its fully updated and everything.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Rod,
    After some hardcore Googling and some nifty search tricks, I found I wasn't the only one. I found this thread where people were having the exact same problem:

    I did what someone else said where I enabled the root user, logged into that account, loaded Premiere and changed the Audio Hardware to System Default. I then went back to my user account and loaded the project file I was working in. Everything works great now. Thank god.
