How do I import files encoded with FFV1 into Premier CS5?

Sorry if I get things a little mixed up here, but I'm still a relative editing newbie and some terms are confusing to me, but here goes!
I've been given a bunch of short video clips that I need to import into Premier CS5. Trouble is, they have been (I am told) encoded with the FFV1 codec, and when I import them into Premier all I can see is the audio track and no video. Other than asking my friend to re-encode the files (over 200) in a different way, is there some workaround to get these files working in Premier?
Thanks for reading.

  • How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?

    Hi;
    How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?
    Developed a DBase application for a vertical market using MS Access. Worked on it for over a decade.
    Have been in contact with a rather large company and we are talking about licensing my program with them.
    BUT; they want it "On the Cloud"
    Here is what needs to be accomplished. Ideally a user can log in from anywhere, (similar to on-line banking), enter data and print reports.
    Read this a few days ago:
    "If I were in your situation and felt that there's a growth market for your offerings, I would personally go with a PHP/MySQL-based model. The printing issue can be readily resolved with PDF-based output.
    So the Querys, Forms and VBA Code needs to be brought in from MS Access to Dreamweaver.
    Can this be done?  Or is there a better way that I haven't learned yet?
    Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction.
    Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
    Andy

    >Can this be done?
    No, not any way that I know of. You would need to completely rewrite this as a web application. Obviously the MS Access tables can be migrated to MySQL and the Access queries converted to views. But the forms and custom code needs to be written from scratch in html and your choice of server side programming language.

  • How do I import file (rather than link) into Premiere

    I'm just trying out Premiere, having come from FCP.
    One thing I'm struggling with is how best to import AVCHD footage from my Panasonic GH1.
    So, I plug my camera into to my MacPro and its SD memory card mounts on the desktop. From within PPro, I use the Media Browser or the Bridge and navigate to the STREAM folder that contains the MTS files. If I select an MTS file and chose import, the file appears in the Project list window but is NOT copied to my scratch disk; PPro only creates a link to the file.
    Is there any way to get the file copied to my scratch disk whenever I choose import, so that I can make file ingestion a one step process?
    Apologies if this is a simple question but I haven't found an answer yet.

    Is there any way to get the file copied to my scratch disk whenever I choose import, so that I can make file ingestion a one step process?
    No.  It's a two step process.  Copy the entire card over using Finder, then do your thing in PP.

  • How to play WMA files encoded with DRM on M

    Hi -
    I downloaded and installed the drivers, firmware and apps recommended by Creative Labs to support transferring wma files with drm to the muvo through the creative media source. However when I attempt to transfer I encounter an "Error transferring files" every time. I can play the files on my laptop (windows 2000 sp4) using the cms player, but I still cannot transfer them to the muvo. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
    stpal

    thanks for the quick reply. i should clarify that the files are downloaded (walmart.com) in .wma with drm. strange but i reinstalled the firmware (v.40) and out of the ten files I downloaded i was able to transfer 6 of them using cms or wmp 9.0. the remaining 4 still errored out with the same error. by trial and error i was able to figure out that by playing them locally (which acquires the license) I could then successfully transfer them. thanks for the help.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • How can I import files from a windows environment?

    I am used to a pc environment.  How can I import files ie. PDF, excel, word onto my iPad?  I imagine that this is done through ITunes but am unsure how?  Are there iPad versions of say Microsoft office that need to be used?

    I use Documents to Go, a program that will open all the file types you listed. With its purchase you also get access to a desktop program that allows you to wirelessly sync documents between computers and your device, without going through iTunes.
    The other ways to get data onto your device
    Mail it to yourself and then save it to (send it to) the app from the e-mail.
    Use iTunes to sync the data into the app that will open it.
    Use an online service like Dropbox or others. You put the data 'out there' on your PC, then access it on your iPad and save it into the app.
    One thing to remember, the iPad is different from Windows and Macs in one fundamental way. There is no 'windows explorer' or 'finder' for the iPad. The operating system doesn't have access to the whole device and everything on it. Instead you have apps that access bits and pieces of the system and have limited ways to share data across apps.
    Think of it as World War Two French Resistence.....all these different groups (apps) working on the same device, but most if not all of them have very limited ways to discuss/contact each other. The apps are 'sandboxed' in that they have limited contact with other apps. So the easiest way to deal with various file types is to find the app that handles that kind of file and use that.

  • Import files encoded in H264 or DVCPro?

    Does Final Cut Express import files encoded in H264?
    Apple’s Technical Specifications page http://support.apple.com/kb/SP536 is silent about supported codecs and makes no mention of supported file formats at all. It notes some CAMERAS supported, but not files or codecs.
    From the FCP Express manual:
    *Video Formats Supported by Final Cut Express
    Final Cut Express supports any video format that uses an installed QuickTime codec.*
    On the same page, a table appears listing
    *D-5 HD
    D-6
    HDCAM
    HDCAM SR
    DVCPRO HD
    XDCAM HD
    HDV
    RGB video 1080p30 720p60*
    Can this really be? Does anyone have experience editing in FCP Express in DVCPro HD, or H264, for example? Or is the manual just misleading?

    FCE does not support H.264 for editing. Neither does FCP BTW.
    The manual is mistaken. DVCPRO HD is only available with FCP.

    The Canon S100 wasn't supported until version 6.6 of camera raw and that isn't supported by pse 8.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • How can i import files to trial version LR5.6? Message:Your disk "MobileBackups", to which you are importing images, is low on space.

    how can i import files to trial version LR5.6

    I currently am up to about 65,000 images cataloged in LR. I backup on launch several times a week and have used the "relaunch and optimize" function periodically as well. I am a bit reluctant to do anything aggressive as, even though I have encountered this warning 6 or 7 times in the past 4-5 months or so I have never had to shut down. I have emptied the recycle bin (which, as I mentioned, usually has very little in it) and then I continue and notice no impairment of function. So at present it represents more of an annoyance and a bit of a mystery only. Maybe I will just report this to Adobe and sit tight unless someone can see an obvious explanation and correction here.
    I appreciate all of the input and advice I have received already.
