I'm trying to import avi files to FQP - why does it not work? I've tried DVX-converter and Perian without any luck.

I'm trying to import avi-files to FQP without any success. I'vw tried to convert it with quick-time and insalled Perian, with no luck. I'm new to FQP...

FQP??
Never mind. Open one of your .avi files in QuickTime Player.
Press command and i keys to get the Inspector window.
Tell us what it says next to Format.
avi is just a container, we need to know the codec that was used to make them.

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

You know what - I'm sorry
I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
I am officially embarrassed

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Trying to Import AVI file to iMovie - Error -8969

Like some others before me, I too am having trouble importing .avi files to my iMovie version 4. Acccording to Command i, they are Motion JPEG OpenDML (they are .avi files from a Canon digital camera). They are viewable in QT. Several posts suggest they should import easily into iMovie. However, when I try to import, I get an error message (failed -8969). I tried converting the .avi file, with QT Pro, to both .mov and DV stream. It will convert to .mov, but when I try to import to iMovie, I get the same error message. I don't even get that far with DV: when I try to convert to DV stream, I get the same error message immediately. Any suggestions? Are there any plug-ins that would fix the problem?

"codecBadDataErr = -8969"
"Codec : acronym for "compression/deccompression" , is an algorithm, or specialized computer program, that reduces the number of bytes consumed by large files and programs."
Used for video files, AVI, QuickTime and otherwise.
Conclusion: You got a bad file.
Come to think of it. I seem to remember a driver (or codec) that can be downloaded from Canon. Don't know any details, though.
PS. Please don't post your question twice.

Trying to import .avi file to adjust the compression settings to xvid

I'm trying to import a .avi file in order to adjust the compression settings to XVID and keep getting an error message

ANd that error message is..? What file? What system? What version of AE? You need to be a lot more specific. That said, AE doesn't really deal with Xvid, DivX and similar garbage, so you might as well look for other tools in the first place.

Update to first post.
The Flip Video camcorder records or "captures" video in MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format, saved as an AVI file.
MPEG-4 advanced simple profile format = usually DivX
1.) With Mpeg streamclip you should be able to convert your AVI(Divx) files to a DV format for iMovie. To open DivX files, you have to install one of the free Divx Pro codecs on your system.
MPEG Streamclip 1.8
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
DivX Pro Codec 6.6 (6-month trial)
http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
2.) Visual Hub $24 should be able to convert WMV and AVI (compressed with the DivX Codec)to a DV format for iMovie.
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
3.) With Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro $29 you can convert your WMV files for iMovie.
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm
4.) With Perian 0.5 and Quicktime Pro $30 you should be able to convert your AVI/DivX files to a DV format for iMovie.

I hope one of these solutions work for you.

Importing avi files into jsp pages

hello all. im new to jsp and java. i would like to know how i could import .avi files from my MySQL database (where ive given paths for the avi files) into a jsp page. i am basically trying to make an application that allows users to select particular video files and play them. the user has the ability to upload and delete these videos

newbie4337 wrote:
im sorry i guess i didn't phrase that properly. i meant to say that i had saved the paths in the database If you have some saved URLs in the database (URLs to where these avi files can be found)
you just need to retrieve the URLs and use them when generating links (<a href="..."></a>) in the html produced by your JSP.
You have already given the paths in the html generated by your jsp? Paths as in URLs?
Then you must already have a servlet deployed that accepts HTTP requests for .avi URLs and reads the relevant .avi from the database and serves back an avi stream with the right mime type (video/x-msvideo) in the headers...
([w3schools|http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp]).
could you give me some more info on that?If the URLs are hosted somewhere else you do not need any of this.

Can't import .AVI files in QuickTime Player

Hi there - Okay,,I'm a real Noob,,but I can't understand why I can't import .AVI files when apparently I should be able to. I have just purchased a Toshiba Camelio S20 and have taken some test movie shots and when I've tried to open them in iMovie or just open them in finder I get the following message
'The document “IMAG0002.AVI” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.'
The Quicktime player I'm using is Version 10 and I'm working with MacOS X V 10.6.4.
What am I doing wrong ?
Pls help ?
Thanx

Heya - thank you so much - have done what you suggested and now i can import the clips into iMovie - no problem!
But,,,,and,,golly,,don't know if I'm being really really stupid but by converting to DV or MOV I lose all audio from any of the clips that I'm importing...
Can you help some more - sore to be pain in buttocks !! Am completely new to iMovie so am struggling a bit!!!
Thanking you

Importing AVI file problem

I am getting the message " Selected file does not contain video data, is not a supported video file format, or video codec required is not found." I have used and still use Audition 1.5 with no problems. My other video editing programs have no problems. I unsucessfully tried importing AVI into Audtition 2 when it came out and after a few days gave up and stayed with 1.5. I want to upgrade, but I need to be able to import AVI files reliably. I have the most current codecs and they all seem to be working properly.

>So, do other audio editors handle video easily, or is Audition like other editors? Reason I ask: I'm going to be working with video in the very near future. I've got 1.5 and from the sounds of things, it's the Adobe audio product that plays best with video.
By all accounts, some other editors handle it better. But since I stopped editing video years ago, I can't tell you which. There have been threads about it though - it might be worth a search. By and large, I think that it's the more expensive ones that do this, though. If you have AA1.5 it's worth trying this to see if it fits your needs though - it's about the only version that can easily be used for voice-to-picture work - as ryclark attests. It's particularly useful in this case, because you can keep the talent in a quiet place with just a mic and monitor for company, and no PC...
>And if Audition doesn't handle video as well as other 'primarily audio' editors, is that cuz Adobe's trying to nudge people toward their video products?
I think that they're trying to nudge people towards SoundBooth, but this doesn't exactly recieve universal approbation in terms of audio for video, to say the least...

Importing AVI files

Hello. I've just switched over from the dark side to Mac and I need some help using FCE. Here are my basic questions:
1) Best settings/method for importing AVI files from a hard disk?
2) Best export settings for high quality use in powerpoint and/or DVD/CD?
Now for a little more info...
I work with athletes in the areas of sport science and performance. I have tons of video saved on multiple hard drives in AVI format that we did video analysis of technique using DartFISH. They were originally captured with good quality digital video cameras via DartFISH as AVI files. These are large files and high quality video (200-300 MB for a 1 min clip) .
RIght now, if I choose "import: from file" I get a message saying the clips are not optimized for FCE and I should recapture them. Unfortunately, all I have are the files on HD and not the original tapes, etc.
What is the best way to import the AVI clip files into FCE for editing? Settings, etc. Do I need to convert to a Mac-friendly format first with a third-party app like QuickTime Pro, VLC, MPEG StreamClip? Use iMovie?
My overall goal is to not lose quality/suffer degradation of the clips in the conversion, edit, export process. I'm not that concerned with file size, but I also don't really want to go through 3 or four steps and create multiple large files for the same clip.
My desired output is for continued work with athletes so they can take video home (DVD or CD of clips) to review and academic presentations (powerpoint). So seeing fine detail in the clips is important. An edit/output set-up that I will use a lot is merging two clips to play in a PIP, side-by-side, or overlay format. i.e., athlete A with perfect form on the left, athlete B with flaws on the right and the clips play simultaneously as one final output movie.
Is the basic Quicktime export function the best for my needs?
I've got a decent background in computers and basic video editing. Clip splitting, marking in/out, timeline, transitions, and other edit functions are no problem. My main area of weakness is all the different video formats, codecs, compression options, and other similar settings. There weren't many of those types of choices in my old system. I've produced some movies with FCE already, but the quality in the videos dropped from the original clips to final output.
Thanks,
TD...

Tom--
Thanks for the response. Using MPEG Streamclip solved my import problems. Using the default DV25 compression seemed to yield a file of similar size to my original AVI files. Is there much benefit in using the DVCPRO25 or DVCPRO50?
I'm still having some troubles with export format settings. Using the default Quicktime movie export, the finished clips looks to be fine in Quicktime. But using the .mov clip in Powerpoint yields some degraded quality. The picture appears to have "lines" and generally looks less crisp/clean. I thought this might have been just some Microsoft flaw in the Powerpoint movie engines, but I tried the same thing in Apple Keynote and got the same result. I have some screen shot image captures I could send you, but not sure how on the discussion board.

CS4 premiere Imported .avi files play too fast

Hi Guys
I have a problem. I'm new to CS4 having used Adobe Premiere 6.0 in the past and I have never had this issue when importing .AVI files. What happens is that the file play fine in my windows enviroment and on all my players VLC,DIVX, Windows media player.
But as soon as I import these files into my project at 29.97 frames the video plays really really fast and the sound plays at the normal rate. If I try to change the frame rate the sound also changes. Now here is the strange part. If I convert the files to MP4 they play fine! but the quailty of the video takes a massive hit as you know.
I tried to convert the files to .MOV, MPG (which the program won't play) and most other types of video files but MP4 seems to be the only one that works! When I really want the higher quailty .AVI. Again the files play fine outside of CS4 Premiere and I have already converted them from a Panasonic AVCHD encode format.
Please if anyone has any advise it would be great as I have to get this sorted for a x-mas present!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D. Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5. Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'. I cannot get past this. I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto. I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am working on a Mac. Thanks!

I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5.
Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive. Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)
