Help with HD video files

i have a Samsung VP-HMX20C that dosen't record in AVCHD but the generated fill is a H.264 codecs, quick time plays this files
i save my sourse file on an external 7200rpm HDD connected by firewire 800 at my iMac 2.8 (last version) with 4Gb of RAM
FCE dosen't import files from my camcoder, but if i copy file on imac HDD and import in iMovies it just copies if i connect the camera it copies and convert in .mov
now i don't really now wich difference there is from the .mov and the .mp4 file
but editing those files in FCE is not really so confortable because is a littele slow on moving the fram position on the clip
so:
* could it be the the fact that my clips are on a firewire 800 HDD a problem?
* can i convert, with some software... maybe quicktime pro, my sources video in apple intermidiate codec, or some format that doesn't need render and speeds up editing in FCE?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to the correct size and frame rate with the correct codec.

Need Help with SWF Video Files

Hello there. I'm experiencing a new problem with Presenter.
I'm using WinXP, PowerPoint 2002 SP3, and the latest version of
Presenter. I have a presentation that contains many video clips.
I've converted them all to SWF files and have inserted them on each
slide via the Slide Properties dialog box, and inserted
corresponding "silences". However, when I publish my presentation
locally, instead of showing the SWF video in the top right corner
of the screen as it is supposed to do, I get a mirror image of the
current slide on that small upper right window. It is like the
presentation is embedding a copy of the slide where the video is
supposed to be. This never used to happen, so I'm baffled. Any
thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You probably will be able to play most of those problem files by using this freeware: VLC
If you want more information you would likely get more responses by posting in the Quicktime for MacOS forum:

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Help with flash video buffering

I need help with flash video buffering. I've created a
buffering graphic to show up when the clip is loading. The problem
that I'm having is that when the video finishs playing, the buffer
is empty and the graphic pops back on. The following is the code
that I'm using to call and buffer the video. Any help would be
great!
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(10);
ns.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full"){
bufferClip._visible = false;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty"){
bufferClip._visible = true;
if (info.code == "NetStream.Stop") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
theVideo.attachVideo (ns);
ns.play("my_clip.flv");
rewindButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.seek(0);
playButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.pause();
}

Again thank you for your help in advance...
I put the script folder into the root. As far as the .flv
file it is showing up as being "put" to my web server. when i

problem.. the local view works but when i check it on the web it
just shows that there should be a flash video there but it does not
show up.

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Help with embedding videos

Hello,
I please need help with embedding videos from youtube. I do this via the Web panel (not the video panel) and copied the embed code on Youtube and pasted it into my Indesign CS6 (autoplay activated). I did it according to that helpful video: http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2013/06/04/embedding-youtube-videos-into-your-dps-project/
However, when testing this on my iPad, only a white box appears and I cannot press a play button.

Are you sure, that you changed code from youtube?
Code from youtube is:
src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
but you need to change it to
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
For us, best result is to embed video via:
menu Object > Include HTML (don't know exact english name of menu), paste iframe code with correct http link and then it works.

RTMP with a video file as source?

So the question is: Can I use FMLE with a video file (format?) as origin instead of using a camera? I know it beats the purpose of FMLE but if it can be done it would be of great use to us.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shashin,
I think there is some documentation that states how to best do this... Did you look into the doc for this (search for master detail files)?
However if this is a warning and your code works fine and loads correctly I would leave it as is.

I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into ...

Hello,
I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into a vector storing ByteArrays in it.Please help me soon.
Thank You

Hello,
I was able to solve my problem by thinking & my code goes as follows.I am trying to read a video file in my program.
public Vector getFileMediaContent(RandomAccessFile fileObj){
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
dataContent.removeAllElements();
System.out.println("dataContent :"+dataContent.size());
try{
int size=(int)fileObj.length();
if(size<2000000){
byte[] data = new byte[size];
fileObj.read(data);
dataContent.addElement(data);
data=null;
System.gc();
else{
int fixedsize=2000000;
int startindex=0;
int read=0;
int remaining=0;
while(read!=-1){
byte[] data=new byte[fixedsize];
read=fileObj.read(data,0,data.length);
dataContent.addElement(data);
startindex=startindex+data.length;
remaining=size-startindex;
fileObj.seek(startindex);
data=null;
System.gc();
if(remaining>0 && remaining<2000000){
byte[] data1=new byte[remaining];
read=fileObj.read(data1,0,data1.length);
dataContent.addElement(data1);
data1=null;
System.gc();
System.out.println("outside while");
System.out.println("dataContent 1 :"+dataContent.size());
System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
fileObj = null;
System.gc();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return dataContent;
Now I am not facing the problem of IndexOut of Bounds Exception But I am getting Out of Memory Error.
Can You suggest me to come out of this,.
As I know I have two solutions.
1.Make the objects Null which is using more space & call System.gc();
2.Increase the Virtual Memory of my System.
Any solutions other than this?
And How to Increase the Virtual Memory?Please do reply.
ThankYou

Problem on Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, i7) with large video files

Hallo,
I have a recurring problem working with Premiere Pro CS6 on a new Macbook. THe Macbook has16GM RAM, i7 processor and I have the video files on my internal disc. THere is enaough space on the disk, aprox 250 GB free.
I have a Canon Legria HF28. After loading the videos from the camara it's .MOV files. When I have files about 1 GB it seems to work fine. But if I have a large file, e.g. 1 hour HD video in 3,5 GB size, it loads the video, but the playback and any kind of edits does not work properly. Sometimes I am able to start the video, but it stops after a few minutes and I can't rewind or move forward. In the most cases Adobe Premiere crashes. But also restart or opening in new projects does not help. I wonder if somebody has similar problems. My understanding is, that I have enought RAM, and fast processor, that it should actually work fine. The video files are OK. As they run in Quicktime with no problem. Also moving back and forth in the video is fine in a simple player, but not in Premiere.
Any ideas? And thank you for your help in advance.
Thomas

My 2011 MBP can take 16 GB RAM. macsales.com sells the 16 GB kit for $160 currently. Apple tests against the more commonly available RAM types when publishing hardware limits, so only reports 8 GB as a maximum.
8 GB RAM is abut $50 through macsales.com, so buy the default 4 GB regardless of where you decide to go.

Help with iPod video

Hi, I have a problem with my iPod or iTunes ( don´t know which one is the problem ).
When I transfer a video from my computer to my iPod using iTunes it shows its a video ( the video is mpeg4 )all good till here then I disconnect my iPod and watch the video ( on my iPod ) and everything still good till here, here comes the problem I connect my iPod again to my computer, open iTunes but the video that I was watching before connect it now appears like a song and can´t watch it on my iPod I can only listen to it like a song.
Why happen this ?
Please Help >.<

Yes I am using the version of iTunes that u said and I use videora for enconde the videos.
I´ll be more specific, I transfer a video to my ipod using itunes then I disconnect the ipod and watch my video using my ipod, I connect again my ipod, open itunes but the video I had transfered disapeared from my ipod and I can only play it, the one in ipod, using itunes.
Now if I click on the "Get info"/Summary, it shows its a video file, but If I go the the "otpions tab" the video type ( music video, movie etc ) dosen´t exits.
I know that I can listen videos like songs but what I mean is that the video switched for some reason to audio type so I can only listen to it and its supposed to be a video file. ( on my ipod )

Please I really need help with this video problem.

            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

Quality issues with inserted video file

Hello,
can anyone help me with a video problem in Captivate 6.1, please!
I’m currently working on a Captivate project where I need to include a movie file.
I have the same movie in two different formats .mov and .wmv, which are both looking just great when I watch them with any player on my Windows7 system or on the Mac of my colleagues.
When inserting the movie the encoding to .flv takes place by the Media Encoder, which also seems to be working just fine.
But when playing the project in Captivate, the inserted video shows such a bad quality, that I’m not able to use it like this.
I already have tried different things (inserted as event video or multi-slide synchronized video; changed the slide quality to high; encoded the movies to .f4v files with the Media Encoder; installed a new windows codec package) but nothing leads to an acceptable result.
Which settings do I need to change in Captivate/in the Media Encoder to receive a good video quality?
What else could I do to improve the quality of movies for Captivate projects?
Is there any minimum requirements for movies concerning file format, encoding, or anything else?
Thank you so much in advance for your help,
Sabine

Hello Varun,
thank you very much for your reply.
I tried unchecking the compression options, doesn’t help
I haven’t yet published the project, the problems occur already when playing the project in Captivate.
The project resolution is 1280x720.
The resolution of the .mov-file of the video is 1920x1080 (12000Kbps, if this information is any helpful…)
The resolution of the .wmv-file of the video is 1280x720 (3000Kbps…)
Maybe the problem occurs already during encoding, the .flv that is created by the Media Encoder doesn’t look that good anymore, I just played it separately (not in a Captivate project).
Are there any settings I could check for the Media Encoder?
Thanks,
Sabine

Software available for working with large video files?

Hello,
I'm working in PP CS6. I was wondering if there are any workarounds or 3rd party plugins/software that
make working with really large video files easier and faster?
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
key to render the clip.
It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
Thanks.

Problem with some video files after upgrading to iPhoto'11 ...

Hi,
I just realized that after converting from iPhoto'09 to iPhoto'11, I found 176 small video files that don't play anymore. All problem files, can be found in iPhoto with a «.MOV» search. When played I get this error message (it's in French :
The problem is that I cannot find any file nested in my iPhoto Library corresponding to the iPhoto's info (name or size). I get no corresponding file. Also most of these «.MOV» files seem to have another file that plays and that is bigger. It could be the original file or maybe my real file ... As an example, one «.MOV» file is named MVI_6480Web and the original that works is named MVI_6480. Not all problem files as the Web suffixe though.
I did not pass all those 176 files one by one, so I am not sure what is the exact problem. I wonder if some of you can help me understand what is going on ?
Regards.

you bought an upgrade to a separate application. i'm sure the iLife'11 manuals don't state a guarantee of compatibility with any appletv?
i'm not saying this is definitely the cause, but in the past there has usually been a requirement for an update when new iLife products were released.
Is it so unlikely to have an upgrade of ATV 1stG ?
the original appletv has been replaced and as such i doubt there will be any more software updates at all.
