Import Glitch

Suddenly after a crash Premiere is not allowing me to import any of the AVI files that I have been using to construct videos for the last month and a half. Somebody on here mentioned something about preferences, but I checked them and nothing seems to have changed too drastically... I need to be able to import these files for my business so any help would just be great! Please help me!

Hi,
Is there any specific error message that you get while importing avi files?
What is the source of these avi files?
what operating system are you working on?
What is the version of Premiere Pro that you are working one?
Thank You
Arjun

Video Import glitch

I've encountered an odd glitch while importing video to FCPX. I can't find an answer to this anywhere on the forum.
I'm making an audio demo. I used ProTools to create it. As it stands, the demo is two minutes long, mostly audio (i.e. with just a blank, black screen for video) but in the middle of it there's about thirty seconds of video footage, matching the audio. So you have a two minute video, mostly just audio with thirty seconds of video in the middle. I hope that makes sense.
I export the videos from ProTools as Quicktime files.
I'm trying to use FCP to finish the video. I'm going to replace the blank screen on either side of the video footage with still images, which I know FCP can do.
However, when I import the video into my FCP session, it only plays up to the point where the actual video footage ends. My remaining audio is gone. This seems to be unique to FCP, because the actual Quicktime movie files play fine.
This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone encountered this before? Got a solution?
I'm using FCPX 10.0.6 Trial Version, on an Intel Core 2 Macbook with Mountain Lion. The actual QT exports from ProTools play fine, all the way to the end. Their info is as follows:
H.264, 960 x 540
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
FPS:25
Data size: 45.1mb
Data rate: 5 Mbit/sec
And by the way, I'm very new to video, so please answer this post as if I was a total idiot who needs big words spelled out. Muchas gracias.
(I originally posted this in the FCP7 forum by mistake - that discussion is here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21869327?ac_cid=op123456#21869327)

There you go. See the space to the right of the cursor? There should be audio there, similar to the first big chunk of the clip. It won't expand beyond that space - all I get is a little red line on the clip when I try to do so.
@Tom - not sure I follow you, but it should be exactly the same as the chunk at the start of the clip.

SWF Import Glitches

I have a swf file created by exporting from 3D Max via Swift 3D. The SWF file looks great! No problems. When importing into Flash 5.5 via File > Import, there are glitches in the animation, sections dropping color, etc.
What can I do to have a clean import of my swf into flash? It's only 60 frames long and the file size is about 1MB.
Note: Contacted Swift3D and they were able to duplicate the problem in Flash 6. But the problem is on Flash's end because the SWF created works great.

I've solve it myself. Just two days before deadline. Thanks to those who were considering giving me their feedback or suggestions .
And for those who are curious what I did to solve it. I simple rendered separate objects from 3D Max using Swift3D and output them as swf instead of rendering everything in a single swf. Then I layered them correctly in Flash. No more glitches. My only guess is Flash did not like so many objects close together in the swf and was dropping colors. Separating them made flash happy.

Sony DSR DU1 VDU import glitches

Has anyone experience of working with one of these Sony units? I am experiencing glitches on the video and audio when I import clips.
The problem goes away - or at least happens less often - if I use FCP with only the DU1 attached and no other firewire devices. The other firewire device that's usually connected is a Sony DSR11 deck - which really I want to have hooked up all the time.
The two devices are on different firewire ports (not a hub) - the DSR11 on the rear port and the DU1 on the front. The problem also occured on our G5; we were hoping the MacPro would eliminate it.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Another solution for the G5 is to buy a firewire card, thus creating a second buss. You can probably find one at Fry's for less than 30 dollars and install it yourself in less than 10 minutes. That way you can continue to feed your monitor through the deck while capturing on the other buss.
A card for a laptop port will run you a bit more but accomplish the same thing.

Import Glitch - tablespace privileges

Trying to do an Oracle export file import into a newly setup 10G Express database.
Created a new tablespace.
Import says privilege not set. How do that?
Also, import seems to use SYSTEM tablespace as default tablespace when export file did not specify one. How to change that and force to the new tablespace?
Thanks
Ed

EdHi Ed,
It would be real useful to know the operating system you are using and to 'see' the actual error message. I suspect that the user does not have space granted (ALTER USER ... QUOTA ... command as described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_4003.htm#i2058207)
Default tablespace can be done at the user or the system level (ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS;) which, since Express Edition is part of the 10gR2 family, is described in the 10gR2 SQL Reference manual at http://tahiti.oracle.com

Import glitch green lines/green screen

When I import a .mov file it ends up importing it with strange colored lines and areas of green (among other weirdness) - See above.
Some video files seem fine, but others have had this. This represents the first time running into this, but someone before me experienced this at least one other time. The .mov file plays just fine when I open it by itself.
Any ideas?

Yes... it could be the graphics hardware (probably getting too hot). Normally, lines throughout an LCD matrix indicate that electricity is not flowing though rows or columns of the pixel arrays - ground traces. However, it can also happen on the signal procesing and delivery end as well. Normally though, when adapter is overheating or failing it will cause multicolored lines ans artifacts.
My opinion is that you have a flaky connection point between the mobo and the display. When things get hot - contact might be better and the lines go away. Things cool down, trace opens and green lines appear.... or vice/versa. Hard to say without looking at it. If the lines go away after things heat up, and you can live with it, no harm is being done. I wouldn't worry about it.

Opening and importing glitch

Hi there,
having a problem when I open and import files into various applications.
When-ever I hit open or import I am forced to navigate back to the folder I was working in, it defaults to my documents folder.
this is not a huge problem, ...but It is driving me a bit loco.
I am working on a windows server
any ideas would be great.

The Import Files into Pages command in this extension will do the same thing (and the link works!): http://johndunning.com/fireworks/about/PageCommands

Audible, random "glips"

I have read the threads about skipping and while my problem is similar it is not that. My iTunes has random, high-pitched squeaks or "glips" as I like to call them. They are not always in the same place. I have run activity monitor and have not noticed any correlating spikes. Another interesting point is that the glitch seems to be in only one channel or the other. I have tried changing all kinds of midi settings, preference settings, trashing preference files, running the system off line, as well as many of the suggestions offered for skipping tracks. The problem also occurs when playing files directly in QuickTime. Also, there is no problem playing the same files from my 17 inch notebook running 10.3
If anyone has any ideas I would be most appreciative.

This isn't much help or even an idea, but I've noticed the same thing happen to me. Not very often, but happens a lot on my iPod (mini, 4gb). The 'glips' aren't in the same place twice, so I've elminated any importing glitches. It's nothing to do with moving the ipod around either, as I've it happens motionless and occasionally on my PB. The only interesting thing is that it happened on a couple of albums and occurs on several tracks on those albums...

Lightroom 5 glitching photos on import.

I've been using Lightroom 5 for about a week without problems. Today I went to import two photo shoots and the images come in fine until LR does a second pass and then they are all glitched.
I'm not doing anything differently with this import than I did with the previous one. Same camera, same CR2 file format, same lens, same subject as well.
Not applying any presets or develop settings.
Anyone know what's going on? This is freaking me out.
BRAND NEW iMac, all software updated.

This is almost always a hardware problem. Some piece of hardware in the chain of transmission from your camera to your hard disk and memory, is bad and is corrupting your images, resulting in what you see.
You need to isolate the inidivdual pieces of hardware one by one, transferring photos using a different piece of hardware, to see if the problem goes away.

IMovie 11 projects no longer working, preview window is glitched or black, event library not playing imported vids

I am having a lot of trouble with iMovie 11. I bought a new MacBook Pro 15" for the sole purpose of editing surgical videos for work. iMovie 11 was working great initially for me (taking full length surgical video - up to 2 hours) and editing these down to anywhere from 5 to 30 min videos highlighting crucial steps for the surgeries along with transitions, ken burns, etc (with the plan of overlaying narrative voice-over later). I had about 15 of these videos edited sitting in my Project Library and multiple imported videos (dvd to m4v via handbrake then imported via iMovie 11) in my Project Library. Now none of my projects play in the preview window, it's either black or a weird glitchy picture (like messed up pic of my doc or desktop... really weird) and only about 2 of my imported videos play in the project library, otherwise they are just black when I roll over them. My projects are still intact as far as edited clip lengths and transitions, but nothing plays, even in full screen mode. I tried making a new project and the imported video shows in the event library but when I add it to a project it's black (but does play in full screen mode, but impossible to edit this way). I think the audio is actually intact although i'm not positive because these videos don't have any audio (there's some baseline level that fluctuates on the audio bars).
I tried finalizing and exporting a project as an m4v (one that was a combination of two edited imported videos - one of the source imported vids working in the event library and the other not working) and the first half is all glitched up with no surgery video, but the second half is there with the transitions and everything (the half that is working in the event library). This part does not show up when I am trying to edit the project.
fyi - I had deleted some of the videos from my event library to unclutter a little some time ago, the projects were still working after that.
I can find all of my imported videos (in .mov format) that should be working in the event library when I look in the folder:
users/me/movies/iMovie events
If someone could please help me resolve this issue, I would really appreciate it. I put a lot of work and time into these videos and it would be near impossible to start from scratch (which would probably be on some other movie editor like windows movie maker since my iMovie is not working properly even for new projects). I'm hoping this is just some sort of glitch that can be fixed and my projects are still salvagable. I can't remember if this started after I did a system software update or not. This will be a huge dissapointment for me in the Apple platform if I have to scrap my projects because I had just switched over from the PC platform.
I even got Norton antivirus and internet security to make sure I don't have some sort of weird virus.
I have a Feb 2011 15 in MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz, 4 g RAM, 750 g HD, 1 g vid card. iMovie ver 9.0.4. Lion 10.7.2

Did you by any chance upgrade your Mac OS from version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.7 (Lion) during the time you were working in iMovie on all these projects?
If not, start by deleting the iMovie Preferences file.
Go to the Desktop
Hold down the Option key and choose the Go Menu > Library
Go to Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Move the .plist file to the trash and restart iMovie
See if the Project files react any differently. Failing that try doing a Repair Disk Permissions:
Restart the Mac, hold down the Option key continuously until 2 hard drive icons appear
Choose the Recovery Volume as your startup disk and let it run until you see the Desktop
Choose Disk Utility from the Recovery Menu
Run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility
Reboot the Mac and when you see the Desktop appear launch iMovie
See if the Project files are the same or different. Next step after this is to one at a time take the Project folders out of users/me/movies/imovie projects. Move one to the desktop and start iMovie. Try skimming the projects that acted up recently. Moving one project at a time might help isolate which project may be causing problems. You can also place project folders back in their original location after doing this testing and iMovie will recognize them on the next relaunch. It won't hurt anything.

Importing B&Ws glitch

I've been trying to import some black and whites for a while now. Every time they turn out as black (sometimes even "noisy") thumbnails and the photos themselves are extremely low in contrast and negative.
Even weirder, I've tried moving the contrast or brightness sliders from right to left (something someone on some forum recommended) and instead of fixing it, the background or very low contrast areas to begin with would actually disappear and reveal the window behind iPhoto! I.E. there would be a hole in the iPhoto window, so much so that I could actually click through the hole and the window behind would pop up! I find this very odd and interesting...although maybe it's a known glitch.
Anyhow, I've also tried reverting the pictures to their originals (as someone else recommended) but since these photos were literally created in B&W and scanned in B&W there was no original to revert to.
So, I realize this is a known issue, but it appears mine is taking this to a new level perhaps...and it also seems this is a known issue for later versions of iPhoto so Im have a feeling upgrading won't solve anything.

iPhoto is designed around digital cameras and works only with RGB images - not greyscale images
in the future scan using the sRGB color profile
Old Toad has a script that will convert grayscale to sRGB - see tutorial #14 - http://web.me.com/toad.hall/ToadsTutorials/No._14.html

Importing stops at every glitch in tape when using the ADVC300 to imprt vhs

When I import a analog video from VHS or an 8mm with the ADVC300 iMovie stops the import at every glitch in the tape, I am looking for a way to import an entire VHS from beginning to end. Is the a preference setting in iMovie 09 that I can change? Or maybe Final Cut Express?

I have exactly the same problem. I'm importing old VHS which has a lot of bad spots. I have the ADVC300 - default settings.
iMovie seems to be coded to stop importing whenever it sees a break in the tape. I guess for digital media that's a good assumption - but for ratty VHS it's a real problem.
iMovie does better than Quicktime 7 Pro - but neither work very well for this kind of import.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - if I find a solution in the meantime - I'll post it here.

Importing From After Effects - Glitching Out??

I'm importing lower thirds that I put together in After Effects CS5.5 into Premiere CS5.5. Everything was working fine, until a few days ago. Now all the lower thirds glitch between multiple other lower thirds surrounding it in the timeline. Like 30% of the frames are randomly swapped out with other bits that I imported from final cut.
I opened After Effects, and everything appears fine. When I play through something, then go back to premiere, it seems fixed the first time I play through it. Then the next time it's doing the same thing.
I imported the project to Encore in case it was just my computer, and the actual footage was fine, but in Encore and then the DVD I burned the glitches show up.
Need help!!
Thanks!

Are you Dynamically Linking your Ae comps to your Pr Seq?
If so, render your lower thirds out of AE and replace the linked comps in Pr. That doesn't solve your problem, but it will get your project finished.
Fixing it may require a cache dump or deleting your previews in Pr.

IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

iMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.
Any ideas?

You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

Any one experiencing glitches on iTunes or Media Browser imports?

When I import a song to Garageband 10, like a karaoke track from iTunes or the Meida Browser, the very first few milliseconds glitch (bump, pop, whatever you call it). I have had to back in with the original songs which have space before the music and splice in to correct the problem. Very time consuming. Any thoughts? I never had a problem with this until Garagband 10

Was reading some post and a person with similar wi-fi drop issues said it was resolved when he turned his Bluetooth off. Just around the time my iPod was dropping wi-fi was when I kept Bluetooth on for my new Bose Soundlink speaker. Turned Bluetooth off and issue resolved so far. Just though if anyone read this they'll have an idea of what's causing it.
