I need the CODEC for Canon camera .avi files

Hello,
I am trying to "Get Media" in Premiere Elements that is a .AVI file from a Canon SD850is (compact) camera. I get the following message, "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed."
Where do I get the codec? This video plays just fine with Windows Media Player, so I assume the codec is on my computer.
Please help!
Thanks,
Scott

If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video... read above about codecs
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

  • HT3775 where do i go to get needed sound codec for avi to play on mac?

    where do i go to get needed sound codec for avi to play on mac?

    There is no single codec for videos that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the videos you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.  
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. Otherwise, you'll have to determine what codec was used for that audio track.
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • How to open Canon T5i Raw files in PSE11? [was: I need the download link to camera raw]

    I need the download link to camer raw

    Can you go to Expert Mode and click on the top menu Help
    Then click on System Info
    When the System Info dialog opens do you see anything listed under plug-in’s (see image below)
    If not, and if no updates are available you must have an incomplete installation.
    In that case, try uninstalling from the Windows control panel and re-installing using the link below.
    Extract the contents of the two zip files and combine them into a single folder – then run the set-up.

    Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
    You could use the free DNG Converter.

  • Logging takes in the field for multi-camera set-up with OL

    Is there any way to designate separate cameras or link shots (to be labeled as CamA or CamB) to advance takes and make notes simultaneously?
    OL doesn't really seem set up to use with documentary style shooting with multiple cameras, but maybe there is some way around this?
    I just want to be able to add takes in OL to multiple cameras without a lot of typing between each take...and add notes that are applicable to multiple cameras within one shot and one take.
    Any ideas?

    OnLocation CS5 has an entirely new feature set known as the File-Based Workflow that may be just what you are looking for. The basic steps are as follows:
    PRE-PRODUCTION (IDEALLY)
    1) Create a placeholder for one camera angle of a given scene/shot. (Consider using Adobe Story to prepare your script. Then you can hand the script off to OL and have it automatically broken down into scene-level placeholders. You will then still need to break those placeholders down to the shot level)
    2) Use the Camera Name property to designate the camera for that shot. If you use the "auto-matching" process, which you will likely want to do if you're entering notes per take, then this data point will be used to automatically mate a set of clips from, say Camera A to the correct set of placeholders.
    3) Fill in any other metadata that is common to other camera angles.
    4) Duplicate the placeholder for other camera angles & shots of the scene. To do this, you can use either the Duplicate Placeholder command or, to create multiple duplcates, the Break Out Scene command, both of which are available in the context menu when you right-click a row in the shot list. Note that both commands work with multiple rows selected.
    5) Customize each duplicate as appropriate.
    6) Repeat for your other shots.
    DURING THE SHOOT
    1) [Strongly recommended] For multi-cam shoots, synchronize the date/time on all the cameras. Ideally, synch them all to the date/time on the computer running OnLocation. This greatly simplifies the auto-matching process by saving you the hassle of repeatedly changing the camera date/time in OnLocation.
    2) Select placeholder(s) or clip(s) for the next shot.
    3) At any time between starting and stopping recording of the take, click the Timestamp button (upper left corner of the Project/Shot List panel). This step applies a timestamp to the placeholder, which makes it possible for the auto-matching mechanism to determine which clip belongs with which placeholder.
    4) Optional: Add temporal comment markers to timestamped placeholders, which will be aligned to the clip when you auto-match. (Note that PPRO does not recognize comment markers added in OnLocation.)
    5) Repeat steps 1-3 for subsequent shots
    AFTER TRANFERRING CLIPS TO THE COMPUTER
    1) In the Media Browser panel, navigate to the folder where you copied the content.
    2) Select the clips.
    3) Click the Auto-Match button at the top of the panel. This opens the Auto-Match dialog.
    4) if this is a multi-camera shoot, check the appropriate box and select the name of the camera that this content came from. The list for the Camera Name setting is populated from what you entered in the Camera Name field for all timestamped placeholders. [Be alert for unintended variants. For example, if you entered "Camera A" for some shots and "Cam A" for others, you'll see both versions in the list. Before proceeding, you should standardize the entries.]
    5) Set the Camera Date/Time. If you synched the cameras' date & time to the computer's, then this step is not necessary (unless you previously set a Camera Date/Time offset in OL, in which case you will need to reset the Date/Time to match the computer's.)
    6) Click OK to proceed with auto-matching. OnLocation will proceed to find the placeholder whose timestamp fits within the Start and Stop Recording times of one of the clips and, if relevant, whose Camera Name matches your selection. All metadata from that placeholder will be merged into the clip.
    [Please note that all of the foregoing is from memory--I don't have OL CS5 installed on this home computer--so I may have gotten the names of some of the controls wrong. I'm pretty confident that the basic workflow is sound, however.]
    Here's the help page for this feature. I'm afraid it's does not really cover the particulars for a multi-camera workflow. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/onlocation/cs/using/WS89e4fde9608114f41e5eb2de124b454ea2b-8000 .html
    As for entering the same string in the Comment field (or any other metadata property) for multiple placeholders or clips simultaneously, simply select whichever rows in the Shot List that you want to edit, then in the Metadata panel edit whichever properties you choose to. Your changes will be applied to all selected rows (assuming they're editable--i.e., not read-only or offline, both of which apply only to clips, not to placeholders)

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • I need the download for Adobe Photoshop CS4

    I need the download for Adobe Photoshop CS4

    I am following the same instructions, and the downloads work for me. However, the first file downloaded is a "_LS1" file, and has no extension. The second file is a .7z archive. The instructions for how to install this download in the "exact instructions" phase says to "run the .EXE file" but there is none.
    Also, when I rename the _LS1 file to add the .exe extension, it can be run, and extracts an installer to the desktop. Unfortunately, when I run the setup.exe in this installer, it "gets an error and must quit" and asks that I contact Adobe support. Adobe support sends me here. I paid for this software through so many upgrades, and when time came to upgrade to CS6, they suddenly didn't want my money, so I'm stuck on CS4, which now doesn't work, and Adobe won't talk to me?

  • Do I need the original disk that came with a mac or can I just buy the OS software??

    Hi I recently bought a used macbook and the seller did not have the original disks that came with the computer. What I was wondering is if I needed to install a new hard drive in the event that mine fails, can I just buy a copy of the OS and install it on the new hard drive or do I need the specific disks that came with the machine??
    Thanks for your help

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You say that you have Mac OS X 10.7.5, so if it came preinstalled, see that you can't reinstall it because it's registered to the old owner. Call Apple to get replacement DVDs
    If you want, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. See if your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs Open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion

    The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle.  You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
    Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place.  Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
    Sorry to hear about your grandpa.
