The full name for JVT/AVC is Joint Video Team/Advanced Video Coding. It's a variety of H.264.
I've noticed that videos converted using Handbrake show this format. Possibly because Handbrake uses "H.264 (x264)" rather than the standard H.264 when converting files. So it could be associated with the x264 codec.
See here for more about x264:

    How to import MP4 into iMovie09

    You will need to convert it to something that iMovie can edit.
    1) The first step is to see if QuickTime can play it. See if you can open it in QuickTime Player.
    If you can, Proceed to Step 3
    2) If QuickTime cannot play it, I would try to download a set of open source codecs called Perian. They will handle many odd codecs like this. Go to Perian.ORG and download them. Then go back to step 1.
    Note: If Perian does not work for you, come back for some more ideas.
    3) Once QuickTime can play it, you need to convert it to something iMovie can edit. If you have QuickTime Pro, use that. If you would prefer a free alternative, download MPEG STREAMCLIP from Squared 5. Drag the 3G2 clip into MPEG Streamclip and then FILE/Export to QuickTIme...
    Choose Apple Intermediate Codec (for highest quality) or choose h.264 (for smallest file size) and save it in a place you can find it.
    4) Now open iMovie, and use FILE/IMPORT...MOVIES to import the converted file into iMovie for editing.

    Stop shouting.
    You can't use MPEG4 in Final Cut Pro without lots of hassle.
    They need to be converted to one of the editing codecs found in Final Cut Pro's Easy Setup menu.
    What is the source of your footage and which version of FCP are you using?
    What model Mac, with which version of Mac OS X?

  • How to import .mp4 file?

    I'm trying to import mp4 files. Here is an example:
    [url]http://jeffareid.net/misc/nfsshiftdemo.mp4[/url]

    I don't understand how. The files are stored as MP4 files at YouTube; how could you "download" a format different from the MP4 format the video is stored in at YouTube?
    You'll have to ask this of the various services. I do not know. I do not use any, as I do not edit files from YouTube. Others, apparently do, and use these various services. Matter of fact, I try to avoid editing any material that is in a delivery format like the plague, or the swine flu. Quality always suffers more than I am comfortable with.
    The process I have is working, the problem I experiences was with a few initial frames of the video I downloaded, using another MP4 tool, it reported this error. Now I know what to look for if it happens again.
    So long as the process works, then I'd definitely use it. It's when it doesn't work, that you'd have to look for a cure. Again, I'm not sure what that cure would be, as I do not work with any material from YouTube. If a client wished for me to do so, and had full written approval and a release from the original producer, I'd tell them to get the original footage from that producer and we could edit it. That would certainly be a better path, and one that you might wish to explore. Besides covering all of the legal aspects, it would get you much closer to the "source."
    Good luck,

  • How to import mp4 into after effects cs4

    I recently got a gopro hero 3 and wanted to slow a 960p 50fps video down in AE but i cannot open it. it just keeps saying it's of an unsopported format. How do I fix this?

    Interesting. Did not know CS4 could run at all on Windows 8.
    I maintain my previous answer. It has always ever been that codecs using interframe compression schemes didn't play nice with CS4 and previous versions. Transcode your footage to something else. Quicktime with the PNG codec would be one choice, I've not tried the Cineform codec (free from GoPro) with CS4, but it's worth a shot.

  • Imovie - how to import MP4 video clip for editing ? Wont drag and Drop ; using OSX on macbook

    the Video just flies back onto desktop.

    It should only have to do the full search the first time. From then on it should be quick.
    Since yours is not, I would suspect that iMovie is not able to write the results of the search, so the next time it has to start from scratch. This could be a permissions issue.
    Go to Disk Utility and try to repair permissions on your main hard disk.
    You might also try trashing preferences. (Details here - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061 )

  • How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

    For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
    Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
    Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
    Please any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.

  • How can I import mp4 movies into iMovie?

  • How can I import mp4 to iMovie 09?

    What I'm doing is going to File -> Import -> Movies and clicking on the .mp4 file on my desktop. In iMovie, the loading bar opens for a brief second saying "desktop" with a blank bar, and then it goes away leaving iMovie sitting there as if nothing happened. I've tried free converters but haven't had much luck unfortunately
    Also, will I be able to import this to FCP X? I'm very close to buying it, and if I can import mp4 I probably will. I'm not very good at editing, but I feel that I could learn FCP X easier than FCP 7.

    I sometimes work in FCE, so the layout is almost identical the old FCP, it is nothing like iMovie learning curve was steep the first week or so. Toughest ones to memorize were the ripple roll, slip, slide tools for me.
    The new iMovie got so powerful with filters and CoreVideo, that it kinda beats the purpose of FCE usage for me. But the Live Type app is a joy to play with - the font made out of smoke, fire or popping daisies is exquisite.
    The most discouraging thing in FCE or FCP is the amount of time you will spend editing - if you want to do it right and play with it, you will spend days because they have so many powerful options to try and tweak. That was the biggest shocker for me. I find myself resorting to simplicity and speed of iMovie editing. Shoot the vid, run it through iMovie, let it do its thing, share to Apple TV and be done with it. It's simple, yet much faster to work with, if you don't care about making perfect movies. Kids and work leave me no choice, but to edit at night. FCE has become more of a chore than fun for me. If there is anything people underestimate while purchasing this is how dedicated they are to this hobby. Or not.
    If you do editing for gigs, then it's a no brainer. iMovie is a toy compared to FCP.
    FCPX yes or no? It's your choice, really.

  • How can I import MP4-files in FCPX?

    How can I import MP4-files in FCPX? Should i convert the files? Do you know good (free) software?
    Thanks!

    MPEG-4 isn't nearly enough information. There are many other factors that determine whether it will work in FCP. Many MPEG-4 files can be imported and optimized directly into the application.

  • Premiere Cs3 Importing mp4 at incorrect framerates, how do I fix this?

    I'm using Open Broadcast Software to record mp4 videos. I'm using Premiere Cs3 to edit those videos.
    I had made a few changes to the settings in OBS to make streaming to twitch better, but after reverting my settings to record rather than stream I'm running into a problem. When I import mp4 videos I made after this point, Premiere interprets the footage as if it was shot at 1,000 fps instead of the 60fps I shot it at. I know I can reinterpret the footage at 60 fps but this causes problems, like dropping the audio and looping/distorting random frames.
    I wasn't having this problem before. I'm a bit of a novice, and this is all way over my head.

  • FIXED: How Can I Import .MP4 Video? Used to work...

    EDIT: Okay, figured it out!  Had to run Adobe updater, now I can import .mp4s from YouTube!  wooot.
    Hi, I was working on some mashups using videos I downloaded from YouTube (.mp4 format) in premiere and everything was going good, but had to reinstall my operating system for other reasons.  I re-installed Premiere Pro CS4 too but when I opened up the project I was previously working on, it said I could not re-link to the .mp4 files.  It said they were not supported and were different than the ones in the project - they are not.
    I noticed that I could no longer properly import .MP4s downloaded from YouTube, only the audio track is imported.
    I have had success converting the .mp4s to .movs using QuickTime pro, those .movs work, but if possible I'd like to do away with this step.
    Any help is appreciated.
    I remember back in the day using Premiere 5.0 in 2003 I could import any format I wanted to do mashups, ahh those were the good old days
    Thanks in advanced for any help

  • For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

    Hey all
    I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

    You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

  • IMovie Won't Import MP4 Files

    For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos.  Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960.  For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format.  They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto).  When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out.  And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
    I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos.  I also installed Perian and rebooted.
    In case it helps:
    - I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
    - QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
    - VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
    Any ideas?  This is incredibly frustrating!

    Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
    Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
    How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
    In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
    iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format.
