How to import AVI files created in Adobe Premier Elements 2?

I have captured video in Adobe Premier Elements 2 on my PC from my Canon Optura camcorder. I have a few hundred small .avi files that I need a friend to import into his Final Cut Pro so they can be edited along with other footage that he has created. What is the best way to do this? Should I output a different file type from Adobe to make it easier for him to import?
Thanks in advance.

No, it would be easier to give him the camera and let him capture natively.

Unfortunately the clips are dispersed throughout many tapes so it is not reasonable for my friend to capture directly from the tapes.
I'm new to video editing and I don't know what format is recorded by my camcorder. Reading in this forum indicates that the .AVI files are just "wrappers". Is the compressor part of Final Cut? Would he be able to convert the files? Is it a problem if the time codes are lost. Can I do anything else in Adobe to make the conversion easier?
Sorry for all the dumb questions.

  • How Direct Import .AVI file in to Final Cut Pro 6

    How can i Direct import .AVI Files in to Final Cut Pro 6..
    Please Tell me Any kind of plugin or application or codec.....
    thankyou very much

    The AVI file extension merely indicates that the video contained inside could be from any number of codecs; like a QuickTime .mov, .avi is just a wrapper. Saying you have an AVI file is much like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell us anything specific. You need to find out what codec it actually is, then you'll know whether or not it can be imported into FCP without conversion.
    But you'd be better off converting it to a QuickTime codec that FCP works with natively prior to importing.

  • How to read avi file created in labview from matlab?

    in labview, i created an avi file using 'microsoft video 1' compression codec and with each frame i have a string data attached to it.
    i tried to load the avi file in matlab for further processing, but 'aviread.m' doesn't seem to work.
    also does anyone know in matlab how can i play/read an avi file (created by labview) frame by frame and also have access to the data string attached to each frame?
    thanks!

    Maybe you can use Java.

  • Importing *.avi files created in Audition 1.5

    Any of you Adobe boffins taking notice here? Hope so, cos here's a job for you.
    Get any *.avi file you like, then load it into Audition (any version, doesn't matter, I've tried this with all of them)
    If you are, in fact, lucky enough to get Audition to open the file you've chosen, muck around as much as you want with the audio stream, then export the entire Multisession as an avi, with mp3 audio codec. What I've essentially done here is recreate the audio stream as a 192kbps 48000Hz 32bit mp3, and interleaved it back into the video.
    Next, try to get that to import into Soundbooth CS4, or Premiere CS4, or Adobe Media Encoder CS4. I've had nothing short of a pain in the *** to get it to work. It just keeps coming up with, "Unsupported audio rate in file".
    Now, remember what I've done. I created this file using Adobe Audition 1.5, and now your super duper mega-expensive piece of **** Soundbooth won't let me work with it, and the other video-editor/creator programs in this 'suite' won't work with the file either!
    I've been working with this type of software since the days of Syntrillium's Cool Edit - the program you used as the base for Audition. I've also been remixing music as a DJ for over 20 years, doing video editing for almost 15 years, plus I'm not exactly running a piece of **** machine here. I have all the latest codecs and Windows Updates installed. With that in mind, I will be offended at any such lack of respect, like the, "Have you tried, (Basic no0b-level ******** thing to do)" that you self-proclaimed 'tech-heads' usually reply with. This 'Creative Suite 4 Master Collection' of applications has just cost me $5000, so you can believe my disappointment that it doesn't work!
    System specs:
    Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 motherboard
    Intel E6850 Core2Duo CPU @ 3.2GHz
    4096MB Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 RAM
    Twin ASUS EAH2900XT VGA cards (in Crossfire)
    Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro sound card
    Twin Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA-II hard drives in RAID(0)
    Operating systems (dual-boot): Windows Xp Professional X64 SP2 / Vista Ultimate X64 SP1
    CS4 Suite installed on Xp X64 SP2, with all latest updates/codec packs, etc. fully installed and activated.

    Now, make sure you read and understand
    i everything
    I've written in this reply.
    (quote)"AVI is a very, um, "open" format, and heavily dependent on the OS (in your case Windows). "(endquote)
    Tell me the truth. You're an American fresh-out-of-college no0b fuckwit, with no 'hands-on' experience at all. (actually,the 'hands-on' experience you
    i do
    have is limited to your hands on your dick! For you to send a reply such as the one you have to me, it shows you obviously haven't taken note of my system specs, nor my level of experience with both computers in general and audio/video encoding.
    If the correct codecs are installed, it then becomes heavily dependent on the
    i software
    and whether it has the capability to 'read' the file. Thing is, even after exporting an 'uncompressed' *.avi, Soundbooth CS4 keeps coming up with, "Unsupported audio rate in file." Remember, this is a 'fully-fledged' install, straight from the DVD discs in the package box, and fully registered with all the Soundbooth CS4-specific codecs it puts in post-registration.
    You ask what codecs were used in creating the file that Soundbooth won't open. NONE, you fucken idiot! Uncompressed means exactly that - NO FUCKEN CODEC COMPRESSION! This has happened
    i after
    processing the *.avi through VirtualDub, the most widely used
    i codec-independent
    program on the planet for uncompressing *avi's, irrespective of what codec has been used to
    i create
    the interleave.
    What part of my message, "I've also been remixing music as a DJ for over 20 years, doing video editing for almost 15 years, plus I'm not exactly running a piece of **** machine here. I have all the latest codecs and Windows Updates installed" didn't you understand? I actually
    i re-write
    my own versions of Windows, you fucken goose - that's from Windows '95 right up to Vista 64 Ultimate! Maybe you also didn't read the part of my message where I said, "I will be offended at any such lack of respect, like the, "Have you tried, (Basic no0b-level ******** thing to do)" that you self-proclaimed 'tech-heads' usually reply with"
    When I say the program doesn't work, I fucken mean it! I'm 40 years old, mate, and haven't got time to be treated like a dumb ****! I've just spend FIVE FUCKEN
    i GRAND
    on this software, based on what Adobe has told me about its' capabilities, and when it's not working due to you fuckwit tech-heads not getting it right for an operating system that's over SIX YEARS OLD now, you can expect blokes like me to go off their nut when you treat us like schoolkids!
    (quote)"Auditions MP3 exporter, when working with AVI, does not allow 48k sample rate nor does it allow 32 bit sample depth."(endquote)
    Well that's just fucken stupid, isn't it? When the program encodes and resamples audio at those bitrates, it won't export it? Honestly, grow a fucken brain and realise how dumb that statement actually is! There are a number of other audio/video editing programs that DO open, render and re-encode at these bitrates. Every other program I use for encoding *.avi's allows me open and work with the files that Soundbooth CS4
    i won't
    open on the same OS, namely NeroVision 4 (for DVD-authoring) and other encoding software such as Cucusoft and ConvertX-To-DVD. Even your own program, Audition 1.5, has no problem in splitting 'movie.avi' into audio and video streams - both of which are fully viewable in the multisession.
    Soundbooth CS4 is a ****-up, mate, plain and simple. Get a patch out that allows this piece of **** to open an ordinary everyday uncompressed *.avi file, or I want every cent of my money back!

  • How to import .AVI Files to IMOVIE, or burn them to DVD directly.

    I downloaded a .avi video file from the internet. I want to burn it to a DVD so I can watch it on my DVD player. So what do I do? Can I burn it directly to a DVD? if so, how? Or Do I have to put it in IMOVIE and burn it from there? If it's through IMOVIE, how do I get the .avi file in, because I tried to, and it says its to big I need to cut it in segments using Quicktime pro, which I don't have.
    Please someone help me, let me know what is the easiest thing to do.
    Thankyou

    Rats.
    OK, bring it into iMovie. This will convert to DV (usually making the file much larger). iDVD reads DV files.
    If the movie is longer than about 9 minutes, you may need to split it:

  • Trial edition of Adobe Premier Elements

    I want to make my video on Adobe Premier Elements 11 but im using the trial version. Everytime i put a picture, in the background, it says "created with adobe premier elements trail version". How do i delete that from my movie?
    Please someone help me. I'm desperate.

    Welcome to the forum.
    As has been stated, as long as the copy of PrE is the "trial," that watermark will appear, and be embedded in any output file.
    When you do purchase the program, and plug-in your S/N to convert from trial to full-paid, you can remove that watermark, for subsequent output, but be sure to Delete any Render Files, as mentioned in that FAQ Entry, posted by John T.. That is an important step, and remember, any files output FROM the trial, WILL always have that watermark.
    Good luck,

  • Import Failure - AVI File created by HyCam

    I am trying to import AVI files into my Premier CS4 that have been created with  a screen grabber software called HyperCam 2.  The files play fine in Windows Media Player and, as a test, in Windows Movie Maker.  When I import them into CS4,  they show up in the bin but the screen is black.  I would dearly appreciate any suggestions.

    This ARTICLE will give you a bit of background on the file formats and CODEC's, plus will tell you how to extract the info on those files.
    That info will be the key to editing. It could be as simple as downloading and installing a CODEC, or might require that one convert the files to another format/CODEC.
    Good luck,
