Import avi intro CS3

Hi,
I'm trying to import an avi file to CS3 but in the audio zone there is no info, and on export there is no sound.
My avi files is converted from a mpeg file (because I can't import a mpeg into my CS3) using different compression algorithms, but it seems that is still no working for me.
Any suggestions ?

I solved the problem, I followed another thread in this forum that suggest to simply change the extension from .mpg to .avi instead of using different third party software to do that. It's possible to be the conversion software that use some strange codec.
No my problem is that being a novice to Premiere I don;t know what setting to use to export my movie.
Now for about 35 minutes it has 4.5 GB. Maybe I have to use some special params to have a file more smaller.
I want to run my movie on a DVD Player.

  • Issues with Importing 'AVIs' into CS3

    I have CS3 and am trying to import AVIs, but am getting no audio or no video, however it seems to be a bit unpredictable. On one computer one file will play with both on the other I get either audio or video but not both.
    Have done a lot of reading tonight and can see that I need to be using DV AVI Type II, problem is I have been trying to do that! I have been using Format Factory and have had no luck both with the AVIs and the MPEG files that I have converted. So obviously it is not converting into a usable format.
    Can anyone suggest a program that will convert to DV AVI Type II. I have looked at the list on Videohelp but none of them specify that they convert to DV AVI Type II.
    I understand that I may loose quality, but am editing videos to go in school seminars and so need to use clips that are relevant and interesting for the students. And given that I have just purchased CS3 I would like to work out how to make it work!!
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks!!

    Jeff,
    To my *knowledge* it only uses the installed system CODECs. Only tip to this was when I added Lagarith, HuffYuv and Black Magic CODECs to the system, they suddenly were available in DMC. Now, this does not prove that it only works with system CODECs (it might have some of its own), but these three were not available, until I installed them.
    Over the years, it's proved to be a good program. Yes, it does choke on occasion, but usually very stable, simple and I've yet to have a converted file (unless there was gross OE) not work in the intended app.
    So far, 99% of my work with it has been going to DV-AVI's. It has been virtually flawless, even with some odd CODECs in the original files.
    I have only tried a handful of others, but have not seen any that I'd rather have to replace DMC.

  • A strange issue with importing avi video

    I have a rather strange issue with importing avi files (which playback normally in other programs) into CS4. When I import an avi recorded from my camera into CS 4 in the preview the sound is played back normally, but the video itself is weird. Pretty much roughly first 5% of it are stretched over the whole spand and slowed down to fit. So the video of 4 minutes will play sound normally for 4 minutes, but replay only 10 seconds of video VERY slowly. I'm a bit puzzled because I've used the same camera with CS3 and never encountered this problem. breaking apart and speeding up the video obviously didn't work because the video only displays the first 5 recorded seconds no matter the speed, tweaking with presets didn't work either.

  • Premiere has suddenly stopped importing avi/mp4 files

    I am using Premiere Pro CS3 on a mac.
    With no explanation, Premiere has decided it can't recognize files that it recognized fine a few weeks ago. I have projects that I've already finished and when I reopen them it says the media is offline. When I attempt to import .avi files I get either a "codec missing" message or an "unsupported compression in file" while an .mp4 gets me "unsupported format or damaged file"
    while I have "fixed" the mp4 issue by changing the file extension to .mpg, I still cannot import any .avi files, which didn't use to be a problem. Also I didn't have to change the file extension on .mp4 files before, either.
    I am extremely frustrated and have no idea why nothing works except using another program to turn the .avi files into DV format, which for some insane reason makes a 20 minute video 3.95 GB, which makes me think somehow I'm doing that wrong too.

    >That seems ridiculous
    No, that would be trying to edit a delivery format
    You are an artist - You paint on a canvas
    It is a FLAT canvas where you may see and paint everything
    That is similar to Premiere with a DV AVI type 2 file... it may see and paint (edit) everything
    1-Now, read here to see
    Why NOT to try and edit an MPEG
    Your canvas is now "fan folded" like the expanding part of an accordian You may now only see the edges of the folds - You may NOT see inside the folds You are now trying to paint a full picture based only on being able to see those edges
    That is similar to Premiere with any variety of SD (StandardDef) file compressed into an MPEG (HD "HiDef" is different, with it's own set of issues and problems)
    Do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is for PLAYBACK only!

  • How to fix dropouts in imported AVI files?

    I am having audio problems on imported AVIs. Using FCP4, i have imported some 45 min AVI files and rendered them on the FCP timeline.  ON a timeline of 7 subclips, the first 4 clips play and the remaining 3 clips are silent, even though all display waveforms.
    And there's another problem. Of the first few clips that DO play, there is a choppy dropout happening, like the audio drops one frame every half a second. It's a continuous rough and choppy playback effect on the audio. The video portion of the files is fine.
    thx
    John

    Try converting the AVI files to a QuickTime codec that matches your FCP Sequence settings prior to import.  AVI is a wrapper or container the hold A/V content that could have been made from any number of codecs, not all of which work with FCP very well.  Chances are that the files you imported are one of those.
    Also make sure that the files you import are not on the boot drive (desktop, user's home folder, etc) and that all hard drives have at least 15% of free space available.

  • Problems in importing avi file

    I have problems\ in importing avi file..
    when i try to import an avi file,, it is written that there is a message "unsupported format or damaged file"..
    What should I do then?

    Welcome to the forum. As Harm points out, AVI is but a wrapper, and can contain all sorts of data inside. This ARTICLE might give you some insight into working with AVI's.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Consequently, as you can see, they have both nearly the same information
    Both video clips have the following audio codec:
    AAC
    In the folder where all raw video clips exist there are a few new files with the codec ending: .AVD ("the name of the file".AVD)
    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.

  • How Direct Import .AVI file in to Final Cut Pro 6

    How can i Direct import .AVI Files in to Final Cut Pro 6..
    Please Tell me Any kind of plugin or application or codec.....
    thankyou very much

    The AVI file extension merely indicates that the video contained inside could be from any number of codecs; like a QuickTime .mov, .avi is just a wrapper. Saying you have an AVI file is much like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell us anything specific. You need to find out what codec it actually is, then you'll know whether or not it can be imported into FCP without conversion.
    But you'd be better off converting it to a QuickTime codec that FCP works with natively prior to importing.

  • Importing AVI

    Hi im a Newbe here coming from the world of Audio Edeting.
    I have to import AVI Video files (DV-PAL 25) in Final Cut. there are a few problems now. first FC says these files are not optimized for fc, so how to optimize them? those filse been captured in windows via premiere. so what are the most important thinks i hav to know importing avi in final cut.
    ah and is there a way to export them with compressor as a avi again. im only able to make mov files.
    thanks for any awnser.....

    Hi,
    AVIs are not best for use with FCP, however, you could ignore that warning and edit your AVIs with no insurmountable issues or convert the AVIs to QTs. but that may add undesired compression steps.
    Yes Compressor allows you to compress as AVI:
    In Compressor settings tab there's a button with a plus icon on the top right corner. Click it and in the popdown menu choose Quicktime Export Components.
    You've just created a new untitled setting. It sits at the bottom of the settings in the untitled folder.
    Double click it and/or see it in the inspector window. Give it a name and in the encoder type choose AVI.
    Now if you click Options button below you can change a number of settings. Remember, the higher the bit rate the better the video will look but greater wil be the size of the video.
    Do some tests to find best settings.

  • 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...

  • Unable to import .avi files from digicam

    I'm unable to import .avi files from my finepix digicam. I get a message that says the files are unreadable. With the previous iPhoto version (v 06) I didn't have any problems. Any thoughts?

    I agree with TD regarding Image Capture. I have the same problem with larger video clips and iPhoto 6. You can use Image Capture, choose "Download Some", select just the movie, and upload it to your Desktop. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to jump from zero to 100% with no real indication of the download progress. Be patient, leave it alone, and eventually the movie should appear on your Desktop. Once there, iPhoto should have no trouble importing it.

  • How import AVI files to my I Mac for editing in Final Cut?

    How import AVI files to my I Mac for editing in Final Cut?

    You first convert them to ProRes with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP, then import the ProRes files into FCP.  FCP doesn't work with the AVI container...footage must be Quicktime, and must be in a codec FCP works with.
