Help with H.264 Clip shot on Sony 5N - breaking up within Premiere

Hello- kind of a complicated set up, but here we go.
Trying to edit 1080P/60 video shot on Sony 5N in H.264. Those clips were imported to my wife's MBP and re-wrapped into .MOV files but otherwise left alone. Unfortunately, the original source files are no longer with us.
Moving the .MOV files over to my PC for editing. I have a Sony VAIO laptop with a Core i7 Processor (1.60 Ghz) and 6 GB of ram. My OS is Windows 7. I am editing within Premiere Pro CS6 (Production Premium version) and have updated the software within the past week.
When I originally tried to look at the clips within the PC, I found that playing the clips with Windows Media Player caused a great deal of corruption in the picture, but that if I played the clips in Quicktime for Windows, they look great. Playing within Premiere gave me the same awful result as WMP.
I downloaded VLC and installed, which play back the files great. After installing VLC, WMP looks great too. No such luck on Premiere, though, files still corrupt.
I have shot a quick video demonstrating the issue, it is below.
I have a feeling that the h.264 codec that Premiere is trying to use isn't going to work with this footage. Is it possible to replace the native codec with whatever one is making it work within VLC?
Thanks.
Or if the embed doesn't work, here's a link:  http://youtu.be/x7pqu4i5RJU

Hi Stephen,
Just wanted to tell, that I have the exact same problem!
Made a thread about it as well, and made a bug report. It is so, so, so frustrating. For me, that is not the only glitches. I have grey backgrounds where it should be black, stuttering sequences and stuff like that.
Everything is smooth and wonderful in edit, but after encoding - in Premiere og AME, it f**ks up.
Right now i'm trying to encoding using software only to see if it fixes the problem.
Have you fixed this?

  • Using compressor with h.264 footage shot at 29.97

    when i try to drag in a bunch of h.264 footage shot at 29.97 into a new batch to transcode to apple pro res, compressor runs really slow. It takes a long time for the clips to appear in the new batch document window. If I do the same with h.264 footage shot at 23.98 the clips appear almost instantaneously. Once it appears in window the 29.97 footage can be submitted and it does compress. Anybody else out there have this problem?

    I am using compressor 4

  • PRE9 "Stopped Working" with H.264 clips

    I recently purchased PRE9 and installed it on my daughter's new laptop: HP dmt4 with Intel i-5 Dual Core, 4GB RAM, Win 7 64bit, and ATI Radeon 5450 GPU (I disabled the switchable graphics).
    She gets her clips from a Sony Webbie HD which encodes AVC/H.264 MP4.
    With a simple project of 5 different clips and a few transitions, PRE9 constantly crashes intermittently (and sometimes predictably) when playing the timeline as well as during rendering of the timeline. The project uses the AVCHD LITE 720p30 preset (I'm a little suspect of this choice).
    Upon crashing, we get the "PRE9 Stopped Working" windows OS generated dialog and then Windows acts all mighty and suggests it is looking for a solution - which it fails to accomplish.
    I ensured that I have installed the lastest QuickTime and Radeon video driver, but I have had no success in solving this problem.
    Any ideas on what I should look for to ascertain enough information to lead me in the right direction?
    Am I correct that it is using the codec from QT for this type of video file?
    Would converting the MP4 file to some other format for use in editing help?
    Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

    I appreciate all the suggestions, but I am still having no success.
    PRE9 gave me error messages when I tried to load the clips into a project with Full AVCHD, so I actually changed to Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29.97. No problems bringing in the clips, but still having the same crash issues I had when using the AVCHD Lite.
    I even went back and imported the clips straight from the camera using PRE9 instead of moving them over manually.
    It now consistently crashes when just editing titles.
    I noticed in the EventViewer that all crashes logged an error like the following:
    Faulting application name: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, version: 9.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4c86effb

    The xerces-c_3.0.dll module seems to somehow be central to every crash.
    Any additional ideas?

  • Need help with using Movie Clips

    I know how to create a MovieClip object, add it to the main
    stage and even add things to the movie clip but how do I create
    frames within that movie clip that I can "gotoAndStop" or
    "gotoAndPlay" with?

    Ok, I know replying to my own post is odd on some forums, but
    anyhow:
    I've done some further testing and find that FlashObject
    isn't the problem.
    Looking at the AS code above, it is clear that the SWFs to be
    loaded must be in the same folder as the HTML web-page.
    However, my intent is that these small SWFs that are being
    loaded in by the main SWF will be shared by many other movies,
    therefore I'd like to stick them (the physical SWF files) closer to
    the root of the site (e.g. SiteFoler->flash).
    I see that my problem rears its ugly head when I try to
    reference these movies in my main flash movie as follows:
    First movie:
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcToolbar", 10);
    with (mcToolbar)
    _x=8;
    _y=68;
    loadMovie("../../../flash/toolbar.swf",mcToolbar);
    Second movie:
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcWindow", 11);
    with (mcToolbar)
    _x=500;
    _y=60;
    loadMovie("../../../flash/textwindow.swf",mcWindow);
    In the example above, my HTML page is 3 folders deep whereas
    the movies I'm loading in are 1 folder deep in the folder labeled
    "flash".
    By doing it in this manner, I get the problems I described
    above (first movie loads then disappears and second movie loads in
    wrong position).
    Any ideas as to why the physical location of the SWFs being
    pulled in is causing this problem? I'd like to try to avoid copying
    the SWFs to each place their being refrenced from as that could be
    a major maintenance headace.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • Need Help with inserting a screen shot

    Can someone pleassse help me?! If any of you are familiar with popular youtubers and how in their videos they include screen shots of facebook or twitter questions and they have them so they roll across the bottom  of the screen, can you please help me! If anyone knows how to do this in Imovie 11 it would be HUGELY appreciated! Because when i try the picture in picture settings it zooms the screen shot so its massive and its also not an oblong shape anymore (like the shape of a facebook reply) i also need help at how this would transition to roll in from one side of the screen to the other?!
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I think it is possible to do this in iMovie, although perhaps easier in Final Cut Pro X, which I would guess that iJustine is using.
    First, I would take a still image of my video at the points where I want to superimpose a graphic. Since she is mostly superimposing graphics on her talking head, a single still might be sufficient.
    For getting a still out of iMovie, see my User Tip here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3231
    Now, you will want to take this still to a photo editor that allows you to edit layers. Use PhotoShop if you have it. If you do not already have PhotoShop, it can be rather expensive, so I would suggest a tool like Acorn or Pixelmator, which I think are available in the Mac App Store.
    Create a project in the dimensions of your iMovie still, e.g. 1920x1080.
    You would put the still on the bottom layer, so you know where to put yoru graphics. You would position the graphic or screen grab at the next layer up. Now I would export the upper layer only as a PNG file. The PNG file has an Alpha Channel, which means you will see only the graphic and not the still in the background.
    The main thing Final Cut Pro would give you would be the easy ability to have multiple graphics on the screen at the same time.
    Now you can drag this PNG file into iMovie and drop it on the project clip where you want it to appear. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    There are probably other ways to do this, but that is the way I would do it.

  • Help with creating compound/Clipping Mask

    Hello,
    This is going to be quite hard to explain so bear with me!
    I recently live traced a hand drawn pattern into illustrator pressing 'Ignore white', Underneath this I have a jpg with a texture I want to use. My aim is to cut out the shape of two letters into this pattern/texture.
    My problem is that creating a compound mask on my pattern will not work because live trace has created a group with hundred of paths and compound paths from my live trace, is there anyway create a mask so that the pattern just shows up as the two letters and deletes everything around it?
    I want to use this method because although I can cut the letters out of a white square covering everything in the background, the design is for a logo and I would like to export as a PNG with a transparent background.
    I know there are often a few was to get a desired effect with illustrator but I just can't get my head around this one!
    Thanks for any help,
    Laltoofan4

    Place the outline of the letters on top of the pattern. Select the pattern and the letters and choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make.

  • Newbie:  Help with Interactive Movie Clips

    I'm just starting off with Indesign and am already running into an issue on a seemingly simple issue.  I'm trying to create an interactive document that I will play movie clips when exported to pdf.  Ok so far so good.  I've inserted one movie and started to play around.
    1st issue - The only option I can get to actually play the movie when clicked is when the pdf export option for compatibility is set to 'Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)'
                     How come no newer options work?  Using Acrobat reader 9 by the way and tried to toggle options such as 'embedding' the movie.
                     No luck with playing on any setting except 'Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)'
    2nd Issue - Inside the movie options dialog box for this clip, there is an option for a poster that I can 'choose movie frame' as poster.  The dialog box       comes up and is completely empth with no video controls or anything.  What the deal with this.
    I'm just starting out and I know I'm not totally incompetant but I'm not very pleased with what I'm seeing right now.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Don

    Here is some help for starter.
    For embedding, do that in InDesign. I think you know the movie will only play in the PDF.
    If you export to PDF 1.3/1.4•Non-RGB movie or sound posters aren’t visible in the exported PDF document.
    •SWF and MPEG movies aren’t playable in the exported PDF document.
    •Clipping paths applied to movie or sound posters don’t appear in the exported PDF document. Posters are resized to match the movie page item.
    •Movies cannot be embedded.•Sounds cannot be linked.
    If you export to PDF 1.5 or laterQuickTime is specified as the preferred player when exporting to PDF. To change the preferred player, you must edit the rendition in Acrobat 6.0 or later.
    If you export to any PDF version•Non-rectangular media frames don’t appear in the exported PDF document.
    •Hyperlinks applied to movies, sounds, or buttons are not active in the exported PDF document. However, you can add those hyperlinks using Acrobat Professional.
    •Rotated or sheared movies and posters may not appear correctly in the exported PDF document.
    •Any masking applied to movie frames or posters is not supported.

  • 'Unknown File' error with H.264 clips from Kodak zi6

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying to import some clips taken with a Kodak zi6 into Final Cut Pro, and I'm getting an 'Unknown File' error. The clips are H.264 quicktimes, 720p60 (well, actually 59.94fps). They open & playback in Quicktime Pro without any problems whatsoever, so I can't figure out why FCP doesn't like them. I've just now tried transcoding one to a ProRes422 as well and FCP rejects that as well. Does it have something to do with framerate?
    As an aside, I'm not terribly thrilled with the ProRes transcode either, there's a HUGE difference in colourspace for the worse. The H.264 actually looks better and more accurate.
    Any thoughts welcome!

    I experienced the exact same problem. However iMovie 08, which has radically reduced functionality imports the files fine. Something that I noticed that might be an issue is that in Quicktime Pro if you "Show Movie Inspector" you will see that the codec of the Zi6 files is listed as "Ambarella AVC encoder." They are NOT listed as H.264. This may be significant. It may be a flavor of H.264 but seems kind of "windows low budget" to me.
    Also as a point of clarity, in my experience Final Cut Pro WILL edit H.264 files with no problem. It is not ideal for quality reasons but it works fine.

  • Need help with non-video clip transitions on the FCP timeline...

    Hi all, I am struggling with this problem with the FCP timeline: I have a mix of things; .motn includes, .psd includes, etc. and I want to put a transition between them and a normal video clip, BUT, as u can guess, it does not work well. I guess because FCP can't see the frames inside the Motion file, it won't let u do a cross fade or whatever with any amount of time applied to it. So what to do?
    I started to modify the motion files but realized this would not work, as I often use bits of one motion animation in various places starting and ending at different timecodes. So i need to be able to place a transition at the beg/end of motion clip on the fcp timeline. I started doing this:
    1) place a slug above the track of a joining of motion/video clip
    2) place the transitions on both ends of the slug.
    Is this the way to go? I have dozens of these that I need to fix asap, so all advice is appreciated!
    coocoo

    Hi Cooco,
    there are several ways to find out whether it is a [*matter of handles*|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_handles.html]
    One is to select the clip>hit the S key (slip tool) clickandhold it . A brown line drawing a rectangle will appear and will continue beyond in and out point revealing the available clip's handles. If not handles are available then the brown line will stay within the clip on the timeline.
    Visit the link I sent to you to more understand handle matters.

  • Please help with my Graphics2D clipping algorithm

    I'm trying to write a redeye removal function which has the user click on an image to create a Stack of Circle(s) where the pupils are, then "clips" the circle(s) and applys a RasterOp against the pixels inside the clip. I found an example here (http://java.sun.com/mailers/techtips/corejava/2006/tt0923.html) and modified it to fit my needs. (Code below)
    My problem is that it seems like I'm applying the RasterOp filter against the entire source (BufferedImage) and then compositing the result it on top of the source using the alpha channel. This could be a 10MP photo!
    How can I make this more efficient by just applying the RasterOp against the Shape(s) which make up the clip? I tried a couple of ways, but I can't figure it out. Is there a better way to do this?
    [ filterShape is called from public void paintComponent( Graphics g )]
         public void filterShape(Graphics g, Stack<Rectangle> redeyes) {
    //          Create a translucent intermediate image in which we can perform
    //          the soft clipping
              GraphicsConfiguration gc = ((Graphics2D) g).getDeviceConfiguration();
              BufferedImage img = gc.createCompatibleImage(this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), Transparency.TRANSLUCENT);
              Graphics2D g2 = img.createGraphics();
    //          Clear the image so all pixels have zero alpha
              g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Clear);
              g2.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());  // sets the background to transparent
    //          Render our clip shape into the image.  Note that we enable
    //          antialiasing to achieve the soft clipping effect.  Try
    //          commenting out the line that enables antialiasing, and
    //          you will see that you end up with the usual hard clipping.
              g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
              g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
              g2.setColor(Color.WHITE); // sets the mask for opaque
              for(int i=0;i<redeyes.size();i++) {
                   Rectangle r = redeyes.elementAt(i);
                   Ellipse2D.Float circle = new Ellipse2D.Float(r.x, r.y, r.width, r.height);
                   g2.clip((Shape)circle);
              g2.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
    //          Here's the trick... We use SrcAtop, which effectively uses the
    //          alpha value as a coverage value for each pixel stored in the
    //          destination.  For the areas outside our clip shape, the destination
    //          alpha will be zero, so nothing is rendered in those areas.  For
    //          the areas inside our clip shape, the destination alpha will be fully
    //          opaque, so the full color is rendered.  At the edges, the original
    //          antialiasing is carried over to give us the desired soft clipping
    //          effect.
              g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.SrcAtop);
              BufferedImage clipBI = FotoFix.applyRedeyeFix((BufferedImage)this.image);
              g2.drawImage(clipBI, 0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), null);
              // paint the whole g2 red to see if clip constrains the paint
    //          g2.setColor(Color.RED); // sets the mask for opaque
    //          g2.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
              g2.dispose();
              g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
         }NOTE: The code works for a Stack.size()=1 right now, still debugging to add multiple redeyes to the clip.

  • Unrendered sequence with H.264 clips from Xacti HD1000

    Hi,
    I've got a Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder, which records directly to H.264 (not AVCHD). Final Cut Express imports these clips okay but won't ever let me play a sequence without rendering it.
    I realise I need the sequence properties to match the clip properties but at the moment I'm shooting 60fps 720p clips and can't see any way to get the sequence properties to match (none of the presets do).
    Is there any way around this, or do I need to ditch either the HD1000 or FCE? It's not practical to have to render the sequence just to check my edits.
    Cheers,
    -Tom

    Thanks for the clarification. I have just purchased the HD 1000. Love the size etc. But is there any way of down loading recording from the SD card to IMovie fast, given there is no fire wire on the camera? I am finding it terribly slow and I should have looked at the camera more closely and noticed it has no fire wire capacity. Am I missing something really obvious. I beleive you can get a wirewire SD card reader. Cheers.

    I am having trouble getting a good quality once I export my sequence . I have tried different formats and none of them seem to be as good as the original source video.  I am using a sonyhandycam hybrid with the quality set at 9m HQ.  What would be a good project setting and a good formant and options to export for the best quality? I would like the best quality I can get for a DVD, I sometimes do some uploading to youtube so any tips on that would be good as well.  But my main focus is best quality for a DVD.

    as long as your project is <60min, iDVD will create best quality technically possible (=using the highest bit-rate, 9MBit/s) standards allow .
    it is not a prob of the tool, but the standards. your source is 1920x1080, a DVD can contain only 720x480 ..
    if you want 'higher' delivery-quality, consider BluRay (hmmm?) or a MediaPlayer (AppleTV, WD TV, PS3, .. )

    Lots of other stuff included but irrelevant for this conversation.
    Here's the scenario in question:
    1.     Through the scripting solution, the application user must use PL/SQL to invoke functionality within the Web UI. All PL/SQL that the application user creates does not contain any SQL. Instead our security model mandates that “pre-defined” routines will perform all of the SQL operations against the database; the application user simply invokes the stored procedures of functions to perform activities in the database.
    2.     There is a component of the scripting application that facilitates the creation of reports. In our application, we are using Actuate’s e.Spreadsheet Engine to create the report and format the report based on a template. The template is provided as input, as well as other data items, into Actuate for processing. The net result is the report is created by the Actuate e.Spreadsheet engine in pdf format and then sent back to the user for distribution to other users in the company.
    3.     The Actuate e.Spreadsheet engine consists of one or more JAR files within the Application Server framework. The Web UI utilizes these JAR files as well to perform report generation and data manipulation activities. In the case of the reporting functionality, the pdf report that is generated by Actuate is returned into either the Web UI or into the scripting component for persistence in the database. The mechanism exists to create multi-step jobs that can create multiple reports in one run.
    4.     So to facilitate the above, we are creating one or more Java Stored Procedures that will mediate the communication between the PL/SQL the user’s create and the Java components that are required for business processing. PL/SQL will invoke one or more Java Stored Procedures. Then the Java Stored Procedures invoke Actuate e.Spreadsheet, generate the report, saves the report in the database and returns control back to the invoking procedure.
    So the question is: Is this a viable and correct use of Oracle Java Stored Procedures. What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing so? Any security issues or potholes that you can think of? Tuning issues for the JVMs? Any white papers that you can think of?
    For any Oracle employees that respond, material such as Oracle Whitepapers, etc. would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    So are you planning on loading the entire e.Spreadsheet engine into the database server's JVM?
    If so, I would expect that to work, but I expect that you'd have some performance issues. I'd expect that the process of building these PDFs is going to be relatively expensive. Tuning the database server's JVM tends to be rather more challenging than tuning JVM's in an app server.
    If not, I'm not sure how the Java stored procedure would invoke the e.Spreadsheet engine on the application server. It is possible to use Oracle AQ to send a JMS message, but I don't think you can use the standard J2EE JMS APIs-- I think you'd have to use Oracle's AQ interface.
