How to import youtube video into premiere cs4

I installed adobe premiere cs4 and was really astonished by the fact that it's not possible to import a video downloaded from YouTube, but it is needed to convert it firstly. This application is weight about 3GB on my hard disk and now I must search for a plugin to import a video from YT.
It would be perfectly if i could download a video directly into premiere, and also upload finished file up to youtube.
The only result of my search is a paid plugin named moyea-importer - USD 70, but it seems  it works only with earlier versions of premiere, before cs4.
Is there any free plugin for this task. Or any similar solution.
If not - in which format should I download youtube video, in which format should I convert it (what is the best converter for that) to make it editable in premiere.
Working on win xp sp3.
Thanks.

Also, CS4 has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all
Maybe a MOD will come along and move this discussion to the correct forum
As Mark says, CS4 is old... and CS5 and later were complete rewrites of the source code, to be 64bit instead of 32bit, so internal operations are not the same

  • How to import YouTube videos into FCP for editing

    I am doing a television interview, and we want to cut away to a YouTube video. Is there a way to download and import YouTube videos into Final Cut Express?

    It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
    I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

  • Importing Youtube videos into Premiere Pro results in picture quality loss - how to prevent this?

    I have imported several downloaded youtube videos in 720 or 1080p into Premier Pro but when playing in the video editor the picture quality is a little blurry and not as sharp as the original video is on youtube. Is there a way to import the video onto Premier Pro without losing the original quality?
    Many thanks to anybody who can provide any guidance.

    Whenever Premiere plays back video, it's going to appear to be of lower quality than the original. This doesn't mean that any quality has been lost, and when you export you will have your original quality again.
    Just make make sure that the dropdown in your monitor next to wrench icon is set to "Full." If it's set to "1/2" or "1/4" that means playback will be really low quality (to speed things up). Even at full though, it will be a little less sharp than the original when it's playing. When you pause, then you'll see the original quality again.

  • Where can I SAFELY get download to import youtube video into iMovie?

    I posted this in the iMovie section and have not gotten a reply, so I'm hoping you guys can help:
    Cnet seems to have some programs that would meet my need to get youtube video into iMovie, but a search on the safety of cnet downloads reveals that many people claim to have gotten malware from there.  The last thing I'd want is to get anything bad on my brand new Air!  Would be grateful for suggestions from various people on a) what program to use b) where to safely download it.  Thank you in advance for helping.

    just to be clear: that plugin is for Firefox, not Safari
    after installation and relaunch of Firfox, you'll notice the spinning three balls, IF the plug-in recognizes 'downloadable' content - here: a youtube video.
    clicking on that (very) tiny, grey triangle offers you some download options (in your language) ....

  • How to you import youtube videos into iMovie 13?

    I want to take a youtube video that a friend of mine put on youtube and import this into imovie 13 to edit it.  I do not have any of the original video that my friend shot...just the video found on youtube.  Thanks.

    Attach your iPhone to USB for syncing.
    iPhoto should automatically start.
    Import your photos and videos into iPhoto.
    Open iMovie. Navigate to the iPhoto Event in the Events list.
    You can edit from there.
    (When you open iMovie, it may ask to create thumbnails for iPhoto videos. Say yes and let it run.)

  • Getting 16bit video into Premiere CS4

    Bear with me, as I'm sure I am a super noob. I went and did a bad thing...I think. I told a non-profit that I would make a video for them to sell for charity. The video is going to be a combo of video, stills, etc and I went ahead and shot all videos with my Nikon D90 camera. Settings were apparently set to standard and then I went out and picked up Premiere CS4 to take the video to the next level. I come to find out the video was taken in 16bit NTSC format and the program wants a minimum of 32. Is there anything I can do to get the videos I have into the Premiere workspace to create my video? Is it possible to up-convert? I've read about converting to TIF files, but I am going to need the audio off the video as well. I have to think there is a way around this somehow.
    If you have any input whatsoever, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm behind schedule as it is and this is only setting me back further. Really hoping there is a quick fix out there. *crosses fingers*

    I'm not even seeing MJPEG as an option when I start a new project.  Does that mean I do not have a proper CODEC installed?
    How does MPEG Streamclip stack up against the two you mentioned?
    Thanks again!

  • I am trying to screen capture a simulation session in captivate 6 and then edit it in premiere pro cc 2014 when I import the video into premiere, it is blurry

    Caveat - I am relatively new to adobe captivate and premiere, so hopefully this is a simple setting issue that I have not been able to figure out.  When I do a video capture in captivate 6 the output mp4 is very clear.  If I play it in windows media player it is crisp and clear.  If I import that same mp4 into Premiere Pro CC 2014, it is very blurry.  My simulation has gauges and dials that need to be clear and I need to "mix" audio, narration, and system sounds into this video.  Any help would be extremely appreciated!

    OK - back to my caveat.  When I select preferences in Premiere and look at the playback setting, I get options for Preroll, Postroll, Step forward/back many, mercury transmit, Audio device, Adobe DV and disable video output when in backgroud (all of which I am not smart enough to comprehend). 
    I apologize for my ignorance. So as I continued to read your question, I, of course googled "how to set playback resolution in premiere pro" and I learned how to do that....  They were set to 1/2.  I adjusted to full and it seems to be clear now....  I think you just helped me, help myself.  Thank you!  Did I get it right?  Is there any more you can recommend when it comes to taking a screen capture video and making it into an awesome demo?
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
    Troy

  • Import mpg video into Premiere Pro CS6

    When I try to import video taken with a Sony Handicam DCR SX63 I get a "There was an error decompressing audio or video". In searching this issue I find many people with the same issue but never a resolution. Is there one? That a novice could implement??
    MPG format is clearly stated to be compatible. Copied directly from camera to computer via USB it plays just fine. Converting it to a different format (MP4) with DVDVideoSoft Free Studio I can import it into Premiere Pro and do my splicing / editing.
    But.. my end result is not as clear (and files are much larger) so feel if I could use the original and stay in that format.. my results would be much better.
    My project is very simple.. combine some clips, remove some bad footage and burn to a DVD.. any advice on alternate formats would be appreciated as well.
    Thank you for your time
    Ralph

    Thank you for your time John.
    Your last link deals with taking files off a SD card.. this is not my case but there is mention of renaming files creating a problem. So.. I re-download all my video from my camera using Windows Explore and copied the entire folder and root (Videos\MP_ROOT\101PNV01). My previous download using Windows Media.. did in fact rename the files. However I get the same error when trying to import with Premiere Pro.
    In my previous searches for a solution I was pointed to your mediainfo applet.. running that on any of the newly downloaded video gives me this report: Open to more suggestions..

  • Importing d300s videos into premiere cs5 (os x)

    hello,
    i shot some videos using nikon d300s and some of them are working perfectly fine (in preview and quick time) and some of them can;t be opened by preview and quick time for some reason, however they are working perfectly well in VLC and imovie. anyway, I can't import ANY of them into premiere cs5- every time I try I'm getting 'codec missing or unavailable' error message.. I have perian installed and some other codec packs I believe.
    Do you have any experiences with cs5 and d300s videos? cs5 is supposed to have native support for them, right? WHat should I do to make it work?
    thanks

    Unless Nikon has changed things, those files are MJPEG in an MOV wrapper. Take a look at this ARTICLE, but am not sure if either of the suggestions are available for the Mac.
    If you find that the Morgan and the MainConcept do not work on the Mac, but find an MJPEG CODEC, that does, please update this thread, so that I can add that link to the article.
    Thanks and good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - VLC contains most popular CODEC's, so it will play material, that other players, and editors cannot, because the CODEC needs to be installed in the system for them.
