Hello,
Nikon files always work on the players. All AVI files, also imported!
Now I have bought a program which I want to edit these files. Adobe Premiere Elements 11!This program does not recognize AVI files would not have a codec installed.
Please where is the difference between AVI Media Player AVI file and Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
Both extenders are the same. Or has been programmed wrong with Adobe?
My response in German
(Google Translate)
Danke für die Antwort.
Im Wesentlichen Premiere Elements bekommt seinen Codec installiert Spieler wie ein QuickTime Player und Windows Media Player. Im Falle der MotionJPEG Codec gibt es Probleme von Zeit zu Zeit, die die die "Verfügbarkeit" des Codecs in das Programm zu gehen scheinen.
Sie müssen bedenken, dass. Avi nur ein Wrapper Format für die Video-und Audio-Kompression. Und eine Datei mit einer. AVI-Datei-Erweiterung nicht immer die gleiche Kompression. Beispiele DV.avi, MPEG4.avi, MotionJPEG.avi, xvid.avi usw. Dann gibt es die Überlegung von proprietären Codecs.
Haben Sie versucht, die Mittel, die von Hunt vorgeschlagen wurden und dass ich auch bezeichnet?

English version of my reply
Thanks for the reply.
Essentially Premiere Elements gets its codec from installed players such a QuickTime Player and Windows Media Player. In the case of MotionJPEG codec, there are problems from time to time which seem to go the the "availability" of the codec to the program.
You must remember that .avi is just a wrapper format for the video and audio compression. And a file with an .avi file extension does not always have the same compression. Examples DV.avi, MPEG4.avi, MotionJPEG.avi, Xvid.avi, etc. Then there is the consideration of proprietary codecs.
Have you tried the remedies that have been suggested by Hunt and that I referred to also?

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow

Adobe premier cc stopped importing avi files with PCM audio codec, unsupported audio format

We were working just fine using Adobe premier pro cc, we captured videos in avi format video codec MJPEC audio codec PCM. Suddenly, I think after updating using cc, premier stopped importing any file giving the following Error message: The file contains an unsupported Audio format. We have captured more than 4000 hr from our library, and we are still capturing, our work is completlty freezed, we can not export to any format since we can not import in the first place. Our rivals in the market are taking our client and they are using old premier cs6 cracked version, this is ridiculous!! I installed adobe cs6 trial and it is working fine, this is very frustrating.

Problem with .avi-format import files. PE cannot recognize correctly

I am creating DVD:s based on scanned Super-8 movies. The scanned files are in .avi-format. When doing a couple of projects on my former PC using Premiere Elements 11 it worked fine. However today I have installed the same sw on an other PC and Premiere Elements 11 does not handle the files correctly. I got an error message for one of the files saying roughly (translation from Swedish) "this file type cannot be handled or the compulsory codec has not been installed". How do I proceed? Was the sw not properly installed or do I actually have to downlod the .avi codec and if so from where and how? Many thanks in advance! Ivar

Thank you for your replies. Glad you have downloaded gspot utility to evaluate the codec situation. Unfortunately your replies have not included vital information that would help us help you.
The gspot dialog should look like the following
What we need to know is what you are seeing at the top right under Video.
What do you see in each of the following fields
Codec
Name
Status
The .avi that you see is just the file extension (format that wraps the video and audio compression). What we need to get at is the name of the video and audio compression that is being used in the file. Right now the focus is on the video compression.
Certain .avi fileS are particular problematic for Premiere Elements in different degrees
Xvid.avi
MotionJPEG.avi
Cineform.avi
AVCHD.avi
to name a few.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

Importing .avi files into Final Cut

I'm in the process of switching from Adobe Premiere Pro to Final Cut Studio Pro. I have a number of files in .avi format that import but only play audio. The video says "unrendered". When I tried to render, the sys. responded that there was no matching Codec. How does one get the .avi video to import correctly? Will Quicktime Pro solve the Codec problem?
Thanks

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Perian yet.
http://perian.org/
Once I installed Perian, all my format conversion issues disappeared. I initially had to convert .avi's created by Camtasia Studio on a windows machine to a QT friendly format. After Perian, they act as native to FCP/QT. Very nice piece of software that will save you a lot of headaches and format conversions (READ: Hard Drive Space)

Importing AVIs into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 !!!

Heres what Im trying to do: We have been working on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system for the past couple years and just got 2 new Matrox Axio LE NLEs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. We are trying to get all our old projects from the Velocity system onto our Matrox systems and not sacrifice any of the video quality. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is by compressing old projects to AVI format from the Velocity system and move them over to the Matrox using an external hard drive.
I was actually able to bring in an AVI from the Velocity system onto the Matrox yesterday using the same Velocity settings below, except that I changed the aspect to 720 x 480 and the audio sample rate to 48,000. When playing the video on the timeline in Premiere the video looked great on my computer monitor but on my external NTSC monitor all motion in the video looked a little jerky as if frames are missing. I tried importing the test clip into both Matrox uncompressed 8-bit and uncompressed 10-bit projects and had the same resulting jerky looking video. Even after rendering the clip the video looked the same. Then I tried exporting the clip to mpeg using the Matrox media encoder but saw no change in the jerky movement. Here are my project and export setting for both systems.
The AVI was made on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system. My project settings on the Velocity system are;
29.97 drop frame
720 x 486 24 Bit
Interlaced field order B
Sub pixel off Cropping off
Audio:
16 sample
44 / samples / second
2 channel
Export settings are; (These are the settings I was trying the first time that didnt work. All I changed the second time was the aspect ratio to 720 x 480 and the audio sampling rate to 48.)
AVI
Frame rate 29.97
720 x 486
No Compression
Color 24 Bits
Field handling interlaced field order B
Audio:
16 sample
Sampling rate 44
2 channels stereo
Do you recommend compressing the video coming out of Velocity?
There are a couple other options other than No Compression in the export dialogue such as: Microsoft H.263 video codec, Microsoft H.261 video codec. I definitely want to maintain the highest quality possible.
Matrox Axio LE project settings
Editing mode: Matrox NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video
Frame Size: 720 x 486
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1 / DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: Lower field first
Display: Format 30fps Drop Frame Timecode
Audio: Sample 48,000 Hz
Display: Audio sample
Video Rendering: Maximum bit depth is Unchecked
Previews: File format Matrox uncompressed 8-bit NTSC (tried Matrox uncompressed 10-bit too.)
I think the jerky video might be due to dropping frames but Im not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

While it seems that the field order is consistent, I have seen issues where converting from clips that change field order creates this sort of problem. This is particularly obvious when converting from MJPEG codecs like Meridien or Miro/Pinnacle to DV.
What happens if you just import the files into Premiere and let it do the rendering to the project settings?

Importing MP4 format into Imovie

I have just purchase a New HD video camera which seems to record in MP4 format, which shows an error message when I try to import into Imovie (an error occurred during import) my previous camera recorded in avi format, which did not create a problem.
Will Imovie accept MP4 format or do I need to change some settings.
Thanks for anyhelp

sorry, I'm a bit lost in your narration, so in my words, you like to:
• convert DVDs
• you need just a few selections of each DVD
• combine those clips to one movie, not as individual clips on one DVD
right?
1) you could speed-up that process dramatically, if you just want to 'select and combine' by avoiding any conversion (editing mp2 directly).. therefor, you have to learn other, very different (=less convenient) tools than iApps.
2) or, by using a diff. converter, namely Mpeg Streamclip, you can select and convert just the parts you need from DVD, illustrated advice on my site: http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/convertdvdstodvs
3) general advice: slow processing indicates a lack of disk-space on internal/'startup' drive.. keep 15-30Gigs free while doing any 'video work'
and, btw, welcome, Mactooth92, to the  iMovie boards..

Premiere CS5 import avi clips without sound. How can I import avi clips with sound without convert?

Dear Adobe Forum,
I have the following problem, please help:
I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
Thank you in advance
Leonardo

But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work.

Imported avi files video choppy, audio okay

Had to resort to using Dazzle bridge with Pinnacle HD 14 to get D8 tapes captured to laptop. Clips play fine if i just click on them. They are avi files. When I import clips to Premiere (I don't like Pinnacle) the audio is okay but video is choppy - frames keep freezing although the audio continues okay. One of my puzzles is what is the proper project preset for files and folders as sources. Doesn't seem to be addressed anywhere, even in Grisetti's book. Also, presets for importing D8 format tapes is also not addressed. While I was able to import this files to PRE before (the last few weeks) now they won't capture. That's why I resorted to retrying dazzle pinnacle combo in desperation. The bridge works to capture, can import files into PRE but again, the freeze frame problem noted above occurs.

Unfortunately, the Dazzle doesn't interface well with Premiere Elements. It works great with the Pinnacle software that's designed to work with it. But it doesn't produce DV-AVIs, the universal language of PC-based video.
If you open those AVIs with G-Spot, it will tell us what type of codec those files use.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
Once we know that, we may be able to recommend software for converting it to an editable video.
Or you can just edit it with Pinnacle's software.
The best solution though would be to capture any analog video with a DV bridge, a device designed to create DV-AVI files. The FAQs to the right of this forum offer more information.

EDIT:
You refer in your post to D8 video. If by that you mean Digital8, there is an even simpler solution (assuming you also have a Digital 8 camcorder). But only if you're using Sony Digital8. Regular 8mm and Hi-8 video won't work with this system.

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!!!

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...
