How do I fix "file video demention (width/hight) to large" for a jpeg?

I have premiere El 7.

This is not a cut and dry matter of photo scaling as might be suggested. Premiere Elements 7 is throwing a block for your photo import because the total number of pixels for the image exceeds Adobe built in limit,1677216 pixels. The situation is fully described in my post numbered 6 in this older Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 thread
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/624979
Consequently, you are getting the following Premiere Elements 7 message/block
Your answer is to resize or crop/resize your photos before you import them into Premiere Elements 7.
You will find this type of message and block in this situation for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9, but not 10, 11, and 12.
Just because you are not blocked by the size of your photo import in these more recent versions does not mean that you should take advantage of the situation. You may be dangerously compromising your project by photos oversized for the project when your computer resources can not handle this. The typical not to exceed numbers are
SD 1000 x 750
HD about 1920 x 1080
Depending on the level of computer resources, in the later versions, one might stretch these not to exceed suggestions. But no matter how high the resolution of the photos imported, they will end up according to the size specification of the export standard.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

How handle Add Media Failure Error: File Video Dimensions (Width/Height) Too Large?

I am a brand new user of Premiere Elements. I am using it for stop gap animation, bringing in digital still photos from my Nikon D3200. I just attempted to bring in the first set of photos from the SD card. I'm running Windows 7. After loading the photos, an "Add Media Failure" box came up with the message "Error: File Video Dimensions (width/height) too large". Is something wrong with the width and height of the photos and if so what do I need to do to make it work? There were 763 photos, but the message seems to refer to the height/width of each photo and not the total file size so to speak - right? During the import process, the program prompted us to bring the photos in as images and not as videos -- so that is what we selected. Thank you for any assistance.

Why can't I import anything? "File video dimensions (width/height) too large"

New to PP CS4 here (that will be obvious momentarily...). I can't seem to import any footage into any project (well, at least none of the bits I've tried, and I don't think there's anything 'wrong' with them). Every time I attempt to do so, I get the error:
Dialog title: File Import Failure
Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large.
This occurs with every files I've thrown at it - admittedly, they all have a lot in common, but they're not particularly exotic.
The files are (mostly) AVI files (I know, I know...before I get jumped, I understand it's just a wrapper, etc.). The files come from two cameras:
1. A Sony DCR-TRV20. Opening up the AVI in QuickTime Player, I see it's listed as "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC 640X480"
2. Canon PowerShot A620. Opening up the AVI in QuickTime Player, I see it's listed as "MotionJPEG OpenDML 320x240"
3. I somehow managed to get the AME to spit out a FLV file. That failed to import with the same error message, too.
I tried running these files through AME, and got the same results (although never having used AME previously, I have a question on that, below).
New project, settings are all (I think) the defaults: Preset DV-NTSC/Standard 32kHz
New installation of PP CS4, with the 4.1 update, on a PC running Vista 32 with all the endless MS updates applied.
Related question: I've skimmed other threads here, and noted the advice to "always convert any non-standard footage to DV-AVI Type II" before importing....however, I see no such option for that output format in AME....only generic things like "Microsoft AVI" and "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI".
Codec issues? I'm a little skeptical, since these AVI files play just fine in Windows if I double-click them. Does that not suggest that there's a codec there for them? The files are from (what I believe to be) garden-variety consumer cameras (these devices are a bit old and certainly not high-end, but they're hardly exotic formats, I think). The files are small, short clips I'm attempting to use just to learn Premiere, but it gags on every one of them, every time.
PP is so insistent that every file I throw at it has improper dimensions, but these files appear to be perfectly reasonably sized, and I assume it's operator error (I'm withholding judgement on the quality and accuracy of the error string it's presenting me). But I'm not sure where to look for the right knob to twist. Pretty frustrating to be stuck on Square 1 (actually, Square Zero).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Please be gentle, it's my first time....

Thanks, but....mmmm....maybe not.
I've tried multiple settings for New Projects. Just created a new one using the preset for DV-NTSC/Widecsreen 48kHz (frame size 720 x 480, 48 kHz audio). Exactly the same results.
You say "To point you in a certain direction, DV from a TRV is 720x480, not 640x480." However, according to QuickTime's Movie Inspector panel, the file is 640x480. This clip was captured through Premiere - that wouldn't change its aspect ratio, would it?
The files from the Canon still camera are AVI files, not still images (so I don't see how the reference to Photoshop applies, or perhaps I misunderstood your point). They are 320x240, according to QuickTime's Movie Inspector panel. If they're 320x240, wouldn't that be the same aspect ratio as 640x480? Attempting to import them, I get the same error....
While not exactly Hollywood quality, I just need files to play with as I attempt to learn the program, and it's not clear to me why these files should not work - other than the fact that NO files seem to work. Also, I'm not sure what your reference to "exporting" pertains to - I can't get anything imported, I'm not trying to export anything that (I'm aware of) - I'll worry about exporting once I've managed to get something, ANYTHING to import.
I've got some PP training videos (from "you-probably-know-who.com"). Following along using their project files and their video assets (MOV files in this case), I still get the exact same error.
So to summarize, so far, I've seen no evidence that this copy of PP can import ANY video file.
While I'm sure I would benefit from spending more time with the fine manual, I think there's something wrong here that's not going to be addressed in the introductory documentation. If I can't import any footage into any project, progress is going to be slow.
How about this: is there some known-to-be-good test file I can grab and try importing that? I've got very strong suspicions that I'll get the same error message.
Thanks again.

File video dimensions (width/height) too large

I cannot impoty any file of any type into my time line. I was having some issues with crashing, ended up upgrading my OS to snow leopard, and then reinstalling all my adobe products. Now all of my media is showing up as off line, when i try to relink anything, jpg, psd, ai, and all video files, i get the error "File video dimensions (width/height) too large". I really do not want to start over and re edit everything I have ever done, and i am not even sure i can do that at this point, as it also happens when i try to create a new file.
does anyone have any other fixes? Please Help, I am going insane.
I have CS4 Production Premium.
OS Snow Leopard.
Mac Pro, 8 core.

Hi,
What kind of video files are you working with ?
I did a google search using ---- file video dimensions ( width/height 0 too large --- and most of the info I looked at in the search results is about files ( still images mostly ) that are larger than 4000 x 4000 px.. which is a limit for the NLE....but some results were about using cineform codec and matrox graphic card and some stuff about nero and so on....so I would guess the more info you can give about what you have and have done the better...

"Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large"

Hello,
I believe someone else had a similar problem and posted to this forum, but here it goes...
I have a project in Premiere CS3 that uses MPG files. The files open just fine in CS3 at work. At home I have CS4, but those MPG files do not import. I've tried converting the files to a MOV file but I just get the same result:
"Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large"
I'm using Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0 on a Mac. My work computer is a PC.
I've tried running the file through MPEG Streamclip a couple times with different settings, but so far no luck. I realy have no idea what I'm doing there or what setting could work, but I've got another conversion cranking away now. We'll see how that goes.
Thanks

A handheld 4K camera with exchangeable lenses with 1" sensors, standard with a 20-600 mm equivalent zoom range, with extender, with a simple battery that lasts at least 12 hours, that records on $ 25 SD 128 GB cards, available at every streetcorner and does 4:4:4 color space uncompressed I-frame with a weight of less than 4 Lbs and with a dynamic range over 60 dB, all under $ 1 K?
Take out the prices and you've fairly accurately described the forthcoming Scarlet.
It also describes somewhat well AVC-I cameras.
But overall, I would not argue with your description as a goal to be achieved in 5 years. In the interim there would have to be compromises, of course. But there are three things that should never be compromised in any video camera anywhere - the imaging devices should always be full resolution, the recording format should always record the full raster, and only using I-frame compression.
This was the norm for standard definition. Only with HD have camera makers mucked things up. It's time they got back to basics and made proper cameras.

File video dimensions (width/height) too large, importing AVI

I'm testing Windows 7RC and Adobe Production Premium CS4. Both CS4 and Windows are fully updated with all updates available through today. Premiere Pro CS4 is at 4.1.0.
I have hundreds and hundreds of AVI files captured from tape and from memory cards created by the capture process in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.1. if I create a new project, HDV 1080i (60i) and try to import my AVI files I get the error message about 'file video dimensions (width/height) too large'. These files were created with the Cineform HD codec that came with 1.5.1. I have the CFHD codec "CineForm 10-bit-visually Perfect HD" loaded on this computer, and G-spot verifies that and can render and play the avi files. Since these are from HDV their actual dimensions are 1440x1080. I've also tried to import standard def AVI files with the same result.
I just picked a few random projects to attempt to open, and none of them will open. Not SD not HDV. I get the 'too large' message.
Suggestions?
Hawkeye

Throwing out wild guess here, but I think things changed with the way Premiere handled HDV with 2.0, at which point it went 'native' - meaning it no longer uses the Cineform codec. I wonder if it's possible the two versions just don't mix, despite the Cineform codec being installed.

File video dimensions (width/height) too large - How can I fix this? PE 11

Took the photos with a Canon T2i DSLR, but get that error message when I try to put them in my Timeline, how can I change the settings or resize the pictures so I can use them?

VDOSurfer,
The max pixel x pixel dimensions WAS 4096 x 4096, though with PrE 11, that might have been bumped up.
Now, and with that said, it only takes a very few max pixel x pixel Still Images to bring, even a powerful computer, to a crawl, or a crash.
As an example, I have several very large Projects w/ many thousand Still Images, though all are Scaled to match the Project Frame Size. For a test of something else (Photo Walls), I did a Project with 4000 x 4000 Still Images, and my workstation could handle four of them. With the fifth, I got a hang, or a crash. In that case, I took the Project into Adobe After Effects, and was able to do the work with 25 4000 x 4000 Stills, and had no issues. AE handles such things better, and differently, than either PrE, or PrPro does.
Even though PrPro, as of CS 5, can now handle larger Stills, and can also do a better job of Scaling, if one has the MPE hardware turned ON, with a proper CUDA-capable card, there is still the issue of computer resources, when handling many large Still Images. It is better, than it once was, but with too many, or too many, that are too large, the computer can grind to a halt.

File video dimensions (width/height) too large error?

Trying to display documents (PDF converted to TIFF) as a PinP.
First attempt worked okay but the image quality was poor.
Re-scanned the documents at a higher resolution and now I can't even import them!
Basically, we're talking about a static head-shot video which I moved over to the left and am putting the document the speaker is discussing in the right quarter of the screen. I'm trying to get the resolution high enough to be able to read the text in the document.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

The max still image size is approximately 4096 pixels, so the 4808 x 6380 files are just not going to Import.
The trick with Scaling, is to first do that in PS/PSE, as the Scaling algorithms are better, plus, at least in PS, will offer you some choices, such as Bicubic Sharper, or Bicubic Smoothier. Experimentation with your images will likely tell you which works best.
Now, with Video, one can only display the pixel x pixel area for the Frame Size, though one CAN animate to say Pan Down, creating a Roll. Though you mentioned doing a PiP, let's just keep things simple here (you can do the math with your exact PiP later), and say that you have the vertical (8.5 x 11) image, and want to place that into the horizongal area of the Video. You can Scale the vertical dimension to 720, and let the vertical dimension adjust, per the Aspect Ratio of the scanned page (making sure that that vertical dimension is LESS than 4096 pixels), and then use the fixed Effect>Motion>Position and Keyframes, to "Roll" the image up, allowing the audience to read it. The other option would be to Scale the vertical dimension of the image to the 480 pixels, and let the width than adjust. This is about what it seems that you wish to do with the PiP.
There is another consideration, but you probably do not have control over those at this point - TEXT. Video is not kind to Text, like high-resolution printing is, and 720 x 480 is quite low resolution. A san-serif font should be used, as the serifs can flicker, and also go very soft. Text should be adequately large, and should be bold enough, that you do not have any thin lines in it. With scanned existing documents, you may just have to live with what you have.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I fix the 1st column width (member) in Planning data forms

Hi all,
does anybody know a trick, how I can fix the first column width in planning data forms? I need a composite data form (Planning 9.3.1) and the problem is, that in the first form the member names are longer. So Planning sizes the column as it is needed to display the full member name. The member names of the second data form are shorter, so the data entry cells are not exactly among each other for both data forms and that looks terrible....
Thanks and kind regards
André

There are 3 ways of setting the width in webforms:-
1. There is a global setting for input box length which has a syntax of FormInputBoxLength=30.
2. When you specify the format for each of the dimensions you can choose to select the width of either a column heading or a row heading. In the following example, each time you specified the dimension ‘Account’ a format would be applied to its header. The syntax for this would be something like… HeaderOptionAccount=Length:50,Style:font-size: 12pt;font-family: calibri
3. Each column can have its own width specified. The syntax for this can be setting in each of the column’s code. For example C6=Blank,Style:Background-color:rgb(203,218,231);width:3 would just show a thick vertical line as the width is so small.
You can not set widths in data grids through the normal settings. You can manually change the widths and save the grid though. This can be done in the xml directly. For example… <HDRWIDTH idx=”0″ width=”50″/>.
Then load the amended xml file back into the system.

How do I compress a video that 160mb to 25 mb for an email

How do I compress a video that 160mb to 25 mb for an email

After it's re-encoded using a lossy format, the OP could also use an application (of choice) to create a segmented file (rar, etc.) and send each portion in individual emails. Most severs won't allow anything over 5 GB, so the user could choose 4 GB segments and the receiver could use a free un-rar app (quite a few available in the App Store - even more for Windows users) to extract the video.
Just some random thoughts...

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password, when I just Backed it up on 10/30/14

It requires a password to restore from it because at some point, you checked the box in iTunes to use encrypted backups, at which point you were prompted for, and set a password.
If you now can't remember what that was, then you can not restore from that backup.

There are many video editing programs that will rotate the video. However, note that the aspect will also be rotated and the fram will either be higher than wide or you will have black bars on the sides/some parts cut off.
