Import video mp4 to CS4 but appear as an audio file???

I've just installed Premiere Pro Cs4 4.0.0
At the first time, I imported a mp4 video file:
Video: MPEG4 VIDEO (H264) 1280x720 29.97fps [Video]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo 1536Kbps [Audio]
And it appeared correctly in the Premiere
But the next time, I still imported that Mp4 file but now it only appears as an audio file
What's the problem? Pls help me

Along with Harm's suggestion, did you install anything else, between the file Imports? It sounds like your H.264 CODEC is missing/corrupted.
Now, updating should repair/replace the H.264 CODEC, but if it does not, you might need to find an H.264, download and install that. Re-boot and try the Import again.
Apple's newer QT Players contain their H.264. Some have issues with that one, and more folk use the MainConcept (think that is in CS4.2), or the Lead version. Many shy away from even having QT Player installed.
Good luck,
Hunt

L have to have Quicktime loaded to import video to Photoshop CS4 but it doesn't work. Does anyone know why??

Hello there
Can anyone tell me how to import video into Photoshop CS4 as l was told to download Quicktime 7.1 or later but this hasn
not worked. l have read that it is probably that l have not got the right codex but which one is it......If you have an idea or could point me in the right direction this would be really helpful...
many thanks
seannybro

Many Thanks for the reply, Maybe l didn't word it correctly as l've been searching for days now for a solution,sorry, but l have just found out while watching tutorials on a education program that you can actual edit each frame in a video in Photoshop by importing the video into it. In these tutorials they said you have to download Quicktime 7.1 or later in order for this to work and then you can go through every frame of your video and change it, draw on it, do mainly anything you what, basically what you can do on a photo you can do with a video. It works with one of my AVI,files but not on any of my others or on any of my MOV. files. l just get a white screen the video is there in the AVI but l can't get MOV. to import. In AVI format it shows no pictures but it is there in the time/animation dilation and l was wondering does anyone know if l need to upload a new codec for it to work or have to switch or activate something for it to work on quicktime......but l have found others with the same problem but there all say upload a new codec but which??
any help would be really appreciated
Seannybro
(If your wondering how too try changing your workspace from ESSENTIALS to VIDEO the icon is in the right hand corner near the close down button in Photoshop and double click on the grey interface (a photo uploads) to get to upload your videos from files then you should be able to upload from there....Import in the file menu doesn't work...hope this helps you. If it works for you then l must be going wrong somewhere....enjoy:)

Can't import video (.mp4) to itunes 10.5, pls help

I can't import video (.mp4 & .mov) to itunes 10.5.2.11 (can't both drag & down and add file to library).
I searched many ways to solve in google with myself , but still not work
Pls help -.-"

MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

When I import video and place it into timeline as a raw file with no fx or any added processing I get the message that the video is unrendered and therefore it doesn´t playback?

FCE can use DV or AIC video formats natively. Any other format will need to be converted to one of those two if you want to avoid constant rendering. The clips you use must match the Sequence settings.

[cs4] No video whatsoever on CS4, but plays on 2.0

Sorry my mind is so blank... but couldn't really think where to start.
I haven't used premiere CS4 very much but last time I used it I didn't have anything like this problem.
I captured about an hour of mini-dv using scenalyzer, and a dv capture port on a DVStorm2 (canopus) card.
Intel P4 with P4C800-de mobo.
I saw no problems. I then transferred the clips to machine where I have a CS4 bundle installed and started to go to work on them with premiere.
That machine is a near twin to the capture machine but no DVSTORM card and CS4 Installed.
After loading the clips, I can't see any video in either the source monitor or the program monitor. I have audio and the little viewer in the project window shows a graphic image when I select a clip. (I see no motion there though)
I started fiddling around dragging a clip on to the timeline, and at some point I got video in program monitor, but still not in source monitor. Then at some point the program monitor showed no video again.
I went back to the capture machine and tried the clips there with Premiere 2.0. They display fine So, I thought maybe something bad happened during the transfer. To test I imported a transferred clip into the CS2 version on the capture machine and even pulling it across the network the video is fine on premier 2.0. So apparently the transfer is not the source of the problem.
I need some help debugging the CS4 setup or some ideas how to find the problem.
I probably have basic default settings but not really sure about that because its been a while since I used premiere cs4.

Did you happen to use a Canopus codec in Scenalyzer? If so, then use the Canopus DVConverter to change the wrapper to MS DV AVI type2.
I did yes, and I thought of that not long after posting (more on that later), so to test I opened a video file that wasn't done with canopus tools and find it doesn't display either.
Here are the pertinent lines from gspot:
File Length Correct
DV Type 2 AVI
AVI v1.0
DV Audio/Video: 62.0 MB (94.90%)
AVI Copy of DV Audio: 3.31 MB (5.07%)
AVI Overhead: 16.9 KB (0.03%)
And from the video panel on gspot:
Codec: dvsd Name: DVC/DV Video
==============================================
Now as it turns out it appears the clips are not done with canopus aftera all. I hadn't actually checked with gspot:
File Length Correct
DV Type 2 AVI
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
DV Audio/Video: 396 MB (96.24%)
AVI Copy of DV Audio: 14.1 MB (3.43%)
AVI Overhead: 1.36 MB (0.33%)
And from the video panel:
Codec: dvsd Name: DVC/DV Video
Anyone have more ideas of what to check or do?

Imported Video is all black but audio still works

Hello,
I have a Nikon V1. Whenever I shoot video using the 1080/60i setting and upload those video clips into Final Cut Pro X, they have no video, they just appear black.The audio works but there is a weird background noise that shouldnt be there. The main issue is that I can't use the video because it is all black.
Please Help. Thanks,
Geoff

No Video when using the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" Command

Hello FCP Users,
After reading and rereading the FCP and STP manuals and scouring the boards; I still can not figure out how to view my video clip while I'm editing/sweetening audio in STP. I have even used the DVD tutorial in an attempt to figure it out (all works fine and good with the tutorial example), but I'm stuck here the real world.
I'm thinking their must be some preference setting somewhere in STP that I've missed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Best regards,
Jeff
From the Manual:
Soundtrack Pro creates a new audio file project (with the file type .stap) for the clip. The clip can contain video and audio or contain only audio.
In the Final Cut Pro Timeline, Control-click the clip, then choose “Send To >
Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project” from the shortcut menu."
Mac Pro, dual core, 3GHz, 8GB Ram Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Rob,
The audio consists of two separate audio tracks A1 is from a lav mic and A2 is from an on-camera mic.
It was captured DV.
If I rt click the video clip in the "video tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
I've tried de-selecting the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" and that allows me to "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" , but no video in the utility window of STP.
If I select the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
It looked all so simple in the tutorial. I'm going on five hours of trying to find an answer to this issue any other suggestions before I slit my wrists? Thanks for your input.

Cannot import videos mp4/m4v in iTunes for Windows 7.

I've been trying for days to import a few mp4 and m4v videos to my iTunes on a pc running Windows 7.
I have the latest iTunes and the latest Quicktime installed. When I try to import theses videos, I get nothing and they do not appear in my library.
I tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime and reinstalling them. I've searched the forums, and couldn't find anything similar to this.
I played the same videos on 2 other computers (On my MB Pro running OSX Lion and on a friends computer running Windows Vista) both running the latest iTunes and Quicktime and all the videos imported and played flawlessly.
I'm out of ideas here...Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Also, when I try to play theses videos through Quicktime, I get an error -50 (Unknown error). But not on the other machines.

The first thing I would try is Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist. I've also seen reports of people compaining that the Music section of iTunes doesn't list all their content. For some reason adding a new track such as the current iTunes Single of the Week is proposed, and even confirmed, as a solution, though to be honest I can't see why it would make any difference.
If you make a smart playlist that should match your recent addition does it show up in that?

Sorry that isn't possible I'm afraid.

Video clipp is red but I can hear audio

I've just got Premiere Elements 8 and starting working with a project from Premier Elements 4. The video clip is all red and I can't see any pictures from the clip. I can hear the audio track. What is wrong?
Lars Fors

As we often say on this forum, it's never a good idea to open an older version project with a newer version of the programs. Weird, buggy behavior like this is pretty common.
I'd recommend you finish your project in version 4 before beginning a new project in version 8.
You can also output your nearly complete project from version 4 (by selecting the Timeline and going to File/Export/Movie to create an AVI) and then import that AVI into a Premiere Elements 8 project for finishing.

Getting waved-horizontal lines running through my photos...Happens not during time of working image in photoshop...but appears when sending to files or other applications, such as after printing back to files...? Mac checked out OK.

Getting waved-horizontal lines in my imagery just after working in photoshop...sending to files as with after completing some applications, such as printing. Nothing is wrong with my Mac...Issue does not occur every time I go into using Photoshop?

Doesn't matter what kind of file...size, jpeg or tiff, black and white as color, etc...Something is in the software issue for my upgraded CS 5 Photoshop, running on a Mac OSX with Leopard version. The CS 5 Adobe software was in an up-grade from CS 3. Best I can do and I thank you for any suggestions based on your experienced background as I can only offer a general interpretation with the waved-horizontal lines that run across some of my images from being in the Photoshop mode from Bridge.

The camcorder is conected but I am not able to import videos

I have a MacBook and I just up dated to iMovie 08. I use to conect my Digital Camera (Sony DCR HC17E) to import videos without any problem but this is not working on this new version. After to conect the camcorder I am able to control the camera using iMovie but when I play the video I can not see any image, just a blue screen. After click to import nothing happend, the tape plays but no image neither import video. I have already done all up dates on iLife and iMovie. Does someone knows about it, what should I do?

I realized what happened. I recorded the movie with a Canon camcorder but I want to import the video using a Sony camcorder. iMovie is not able to do that in spite of the camera is able to play the video. Importing movies recorded on Sony there is no problem. Probably frames per second are not the same and the program is not able to recognize and adjust.

Importing video into Flash --- can I get a Transparent background?

I am using Flash CS3. I am importing a Quicktime video into
Flash through File > Import > Import Video.
Here's the problem, though. I need this video to be
transparent. It appears that all videos imported into this method
have a black background. It makes sense, because usually the video
fills out the entire black area. However, with a video that needs
to be transparent, the black background shows through.
This movie will basically lay over a webpage, so the content,
graphics of the site would be visible behind the video.
What I'm trying to accomplish is very similar to what you see
at the bottom of this page:
http://rovion.com/Showcase/1800Flowers_demo.htm
We've worked out the technology, however using the File >
Import > Import video method adds a black background to the
Flash file, rendering it solid, not transparent.
Is there a way to remove this so the transparency is active?
Thanks for any advice.
Mark

Mark,
If the video was created with an alpha channel
(transparency) then you have to choose the option to import the
alpha channel in the video import wizard. If there is not an alpha
channel, then you will get the black box. It might be possible to
make the video a movie clip, and play around with the blend of it,
but I don't think you'll have much luck. So, your first step is to
figure out if the video was created and an alpha channel, then make
sure you have the option selected when importing.
