Import mp4 video?

Captivate is designed to work with flv and f4v video, but the HTML5 export will fire up Media Encoder to convert these videos to mp4 during publishing. If you're intending on only using HTML5 publishing settings is there a way to have Captivate just import the mp4 video? I already have videos saved as mp4 and it seems silly to have to convert it to flv when bringing it into Captivate to have it re-encode it to mp4 when publishing.

That's what I'm saying. Adobe's apps are expecting a very special flavour of MP4 encoding. So where ever you got your MP4 from in the first place doesn't seem to be supplying the right video encoding. If you know you're going to need to work with Adobe applications, it's usually wiser to keep all the eggs in the same basket and let Adobe do the video encoding as well.
Where did you get your MP4 videos?

Can I maintain wider aspect ratios when I import mp4 video to a slide?

When I import mp4 video to a slide the aspect ratio changes. It seems to go from 16:9 to 4:3. Everything looks squished.

MP4 video always seems to have some quirk when using it with Presenter/Connect. Try converting the video to FLV and then importing it to Presenter.

Why are my imported mp4 video files upside down and black and white?

I just started using Premiere Pro and anytime I import mp4 files they only play upside down and in black and white. I did not apply any video effects! How do I fix this? Thanks in advance!

How can I properly import .mp4 videos? (LR4 won't import some of them)

Here's the issue:
I have originals .mp4s that were made either with my GoPro (1st gen) or with a video camera (I forget which kind) and these seem to import just fine But the .mp4s I really want to import are the edited versions that were edited in Corel Photostudio in the 1080p or 720p .mp4 also windows says they are .mp4 the file extensions says its .mp4 also but when I go to properties the edited videos look as if they are audio files but they play just fine in windows media player (and I can see the video content) as for the originals unedited; same thing I can see/play them just fine.
I don't understand why LR4 can't import it? I have tried doing a conversion; but the conversion won't keep it in the same resolution, it tends to want to upscale making the video bigger and more grainy converted/upscaled versions ARE importable too.
Is there a specific .mp4 format/codec LR4 will only accept? If so what is it?

well I was talking about two different things here; but mainly LR4 won't import something that is supposed to be .MP4 yet its playable by windows media player but when going to properties on said file it looks as if its only an audio file. This file was edited from a series of .mp4 videos I had compiled together in Corel VideoStudio X4 which won't import into LR4.
I was also talking about converting the existing .mp4s that I had already made in Corel videostudio X4; I thought I had left them in their native format of 720p but the only option is to do 1080p which means that I'd have to upscale thus creating the larger frames and grainy ones too.
All I want to do is to have native import capabilities so I can see them in LR4 so that I can publish to my photo gallery on my Synology NAS and likewise LR4 DOES have support for .mp4 importation but its not doing it so I'd like to know what I need to find out about the file and what to do with it to convince LR4 to import it

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

FIXED: How Can I Import .MP4 Video? Used to work...

EDIT: Okay, figured it out! Had to run Adobe updater, now I can import .mp4s from YouTube! wooot.
Hi, I was working on some mashups using videos I downloaded from YouTube (.mp4 format) in premiere and everything was going good, but had to reinstall my operating system for other reasons. I re-installed Premiere Pro CS4 too but when I opened up the project I was previously working on, it said I could not re-link to the .mp4 files. It said they were not supported and were different than the ones in the project - they are not.
I noticed that I could no longer properly import .MP4s downloaded from YouTube, only the audio track is imported.
I have had success converting the .mp4s to .movs using QuickTime pro, those .movs work, but if possible I'd like to do away with this step.
Any help is appreciated.
I remember back in the day using Premiere 5.0 in 2003 I could import any format I wanted to do mashups, ahh those were the good old days
Thanks in advanced for any help

Importing MP4 videos with odd results

Hello, so I just got a new notebook, installed all my new software and started transfering data. I managed to get my music library back to exactly what it was, ratings, play counts, everything. I thought ok awesome, I imported my videos no problem too. Then I moved on to tv shows. On my previous notebook I had the entire x-men animated series on it, and it is still on my ipod and external hdd. so I transfered the collection my videos folder on my computer, but when I attempt to import them, it will only import maybe 1/5 of my collection. When I add the folder, I can see the titles of all the episodes on the status bar, but then it doesn't add them. Clicking on the file in windows only opens iTunes and nothing else. If I try to add the individual file, nothing happens. They are all the same file type and this was never a problem before. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Any help would of course be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, even trying to add the file individually doesn't work. It only works for the same 1/5 of the files that would originally import when adding the folder. I appreciate the try though, anyone else?

Importing MP4 video PROBLEM

The probvlem is I can't the itunes says there is an error and must shut down and do I want to send a report....
why can't I import a short video to my ipod video?

File formats in video are deceptive. Not all mp4 are the same, neither are all movs or avis etc. Really they're containers for a wide variety of Codecs. So, it;s quite possible that the two different devices produce their mp4s with different Codecs.
Try install Perian

Samsung Note 3 importing MP4 video audio doesn't sync

I recorded a video clip in my Samsung Note 3 smartphone at 1920 x 1080. The video is MP4. When I import it into Premiere the audio doesn't sync. I've tried to convert the video into a wmv and mov using a conversion tool and the problem gets worse. The MP4 clip plays perfectly on my Windows 7 64bit PC. I'm using Adobe Premiere CC 7. Any ideas?

MP4 is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

FCPx Import MP4 Video Help

Hi, this is my first time using FCPx. I have lots of videos I need to import into the program to get started with my work, but for some reason its not working.
All my videos are MP4 and are from a external hard drive. The videos were shot with a Sony PMW EX1 and imported directly into the hard drive.
I am able to import them into FCP, the problem is that nothing happens with them...They come in all black and there is no sound not video that plays (same thing happens with quicktime). I think the problem is that I have to convert the videos into another format. But I am unable to find a working 3rd party program that converts it and I'm not sure what format I need. If anyone can refer me to something that works well it would greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much

Do you have an older version of FCP installed? The other thing you can try is additional content in the FCP menu. It's possible the additional codecs are not available with the trial version. Can you tell me what software update brought up? There might be a way to download this from Apple, but I can't search for it now.

Can't Import mp4 video into itunes for my ipod

Did you try just to drag&drop the video onto "Library" in iTunes' left "Source"-column?

I am having a problem importing MP4 video into Premier Elements 11.

When I try to edit a video the highlights are turning black/grey and other colours are turning white or grey making the video look like a negative . . . sometimes the colour goes completely but not always. Also, when this happens the whole thing freezes. I tried running the videos on QuickTime and they run okay which makes me think it's not the graphics card but Adobe Elements that's the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, there's no technicial reason you can't do it. Download the MP4's, open them in Quicktime Player, and Export them into a format FCP can handle, say DV-NTSC. Then you can edit away to your hearts content. As to the legalities, the answer is obviously 'it depends'. If it's copyrighted material, simply tell your client it's illegal to do so. If not - go right ahead.
