Importing 125GB+ RAW AVI Video Files

Can anyone report success in importing video files larger then 125GB into Premiere Pro CS4? I know for a fact that Premiere Pro CS3, when importing files of this this size would only import the first few minutes and discard the rest of the video. Is this the same case with Premiere Pro CS4? Is there a file size cap?
Thanks

hexcode99,
Probably as, or more important, than the size, is the file itself. Tell us more about the CODEC, format, etc.
That might well be a determining factor.
I've done 50+GB DV-AVI's into PP2, with no issues. Still, that's less than half your file's size, so I have no direct experience.

  • How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

    Status:
    - Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
    - I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
    Problem:
    - I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
    Question:
    - Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
    - I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
    Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
    Thanks for any help.

    Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.

  • My avi video files are no longer supported in PRE9? Help!

    I created a movie in premiere elements 9  several months ago.  My video was imported from avi files on my computer.  The avi files were originally downloaded from my camera.  Everything was fine and I even burned a near finished copy of my project on a DVD.  Now, several months later, I open up the project to put my final touches on it and notice that all the avi video files are red in the timeline.  On the organizer tab for my project under media type, it says, "offline".  So, I clicked on the avi file and it asks me to find it.  I find it (the files have not moved) and click on it and I get this error, "Error Message. This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed."  This is very strange.  Do you have any ideas? My operating system is Windows 7.

    I kind of suspected MJPEG (just a hunch, as two other CODEC's, commonly wrapped in an AVI, DivX and Xvid, seldom every play correctly to start with).
    Now, there are many "flavors" of MJPEG. It is an older CODEC (or really type of CODEC, as there are so many versions), that was ressurected for use in mostly (then) stills cameras, with video capabilities added. It is not a bad CODEC, but each camera mfgr. has tweaked it for their purposes. This can create issues. MJPEG is not the "universal," that say DV-AVI Type II is. Canon will have a version, Nikon another and Panasonic yet another. They all show as MJPEG, but will be a bit different. A similar analogy can be drawn with Camer RAW files - Canon's differ from Nikon's, which differ from Panasonic's, though they are all Camera RAW. Also, Nikon, for instance, is constantly changing what is in their NEF (Camera RAW) files, so that the newest will require the latest release of Adobe Camer RAW (ACR), to be processed in Photoshop. MJPEG is similar to that, with fewer variations - but still individual variations.
    Now, there could well be reasons that things have changed. The first one to strike me would be that you installed the software that came with that camera, and included its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, then later removed say the camera's utility, taking that specific version of MJPEG away. You might well have others, but PrE is having a hard time matching them up.
    In that article I linked to on MJPEG, I mention two popular MJPEG CODEC's, Morgan and MainConcept. Both are rather generic MJPEG CODEC's, and when MJPEG resurfaced, they worked fine for most such files. However, as time has elapsed, and camera mfgrs. tweaked and tweaked, they are less likely to work 100%. Once, they were the "silver bullet" for MJPEG - but not so much any more.We began seeing more users, with either, or even both, still having issues with newer MJPEG CODEC's. As most camera mfgrs. ship a copy of their specific version, somewhere along with the camera, it became common practice to recommend installing that specific version from the specific camera's utility disc. Unfortunately, that was not always easy to do. Some included their version of MJPEG as a separate installation (best way, IMHO), but many incorporated it into the camera's driver installation (still good), and then there are those instances, where the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC is installed along with other utilities on the disc, such as maybe a little editing program, or a file cataloging utility. Scant mention is ever made of the specific MJPEG CODEC, and how it is installed on one's system. The latter method seems to be the most common now. I have the full utilities, including the camera's own editing programs, installed for my Canon, my Nikon and my wife's Panasonic. That means that I have at least five (think that the total count is eight on my workstation) MJPEG CODEC's: one for Canon, one for Nikon, one for Panny, one Morgan and one MainConcept.
    What camera produced those MJPEG AVI files?
    Do you have that camera's editing and cataloging utility installed?
    Do you have the utility disc for that camera?
    Have you removed any such editing, or cataloging utility, between the time that the files worked, and when they did not?
    I do not believe that any version of PrE actually installs any version of MJPEG (could be wrong here), though they work with, and include various other MainConcept (mostly MPEG) CODEC's. That means that one will need to install an MJPEG CODEC, and the one specific to that camera, might be required.
    You obviously do have an MJPEG CODEC (or more), installed in your OS. As there is a vast difference between playback of an AV file, and editing that same file, it could be that PrE is just not able to use the installed version, with those files. As it once was able to edit them, I am guessing that something has changed, and it could be as simple as cleaning out one of the supplied utilities for the camera, that also removed its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC.
    As PrE does not install the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, many recommend not trying to edit such material. I am not of that mindset, but do allow that one might have to do some extra work (and work that is NEVER outlined in the camera mfgr's literature - unfortunately), to get things to work. I had to install a bunch of programs, that I will never directly use, just to be able to edit the MJPEG AVI's from my family's cameras, in both PrE and PrPro. I hate having to do that, as it fills up my HDD with stuff, that will otherwise never be used - but I need the specific CODEC, and it's only available to be installed WITH other software - all too common nowadays, and a mistake on the part of the camera mfgrs. IMO.
    Good luck, and I hope that with the specific MJPEG CODEC, you will be back up and editing your footage, as you were once able to do.

    PS - sorry for writing an entire encyclopedia there, but MJPEG is not as simple as it could be.

  • Import and Management of Video Files by Date Still Broken

    It really is very disappointing that after 3 versions, and 110 bug fixes, basic things like importing or managing a video file by date is still completely broken.
    Even more troubling, is that for someone who uses LR3 this is a very obvious problem, and should be very easy to fix.
    When you import a file on a wide range of cameras the date that is used for the video file as far as LR3 is concerned is the date you are importing it, not the date it was taken. This makes any management of the file, especially when managed next to pictures, very difficult.
    The problem, as far as I can tell, is that in Windows, a file has both a 'Date Created' and a 'Date Modified'. 'Date Created' is whenever the file was created on the PC. If you bought a new computer and transferred a bunch of files over on 30/12/2010, all of your files will have a 'Date Created' that is 30/12/2010 regardless of when the photos or videos were taken. Or if you take a video on September 1st and import it onto your computer September 15th, it will have a 'Date Created' of September 15th.
    'Date Modified' however lists the date that the file was last changed. For video files, that most likely was the date the video was shot.
    Every program I have ever used for video files has always organized them by Date Modified (when organizing them by date). For example, its the default in Windows 7 Explorer when showing video files, all the video files listed by the date you have taken them. Date Created really doesnt have any useful information.
    Its inexplicable to me why LR3 uses Date Created instead of Date Modified. It is a glaring error, that should be easily fixed. Microsoft can manage to do it right, as a byproduct in its OS, Im not sure why an imaging company in a $400 piece of specialist software cannot.
    And just in case this is overlooked as a minor problem, it certainly is not. It happens to the following cameras:
    D90 (first camera to shoot video)
    D3s (thought by many to be the best low light camera)
    D7000 (likely to be Nikon's most important DSLR)
    D3100 (likely to be Nikon's most purchased DSLR)
    Canon S95 (one of 2 most popular P+S for DSLR owners)
    Fuji 31fd (Ill never forget you!)
    And those are just the cameras I have on my desk, Im sure it happens to many others.
    Also, when importing these files by date, LR3 will import them into a folder 1 date later then the date that LR3 is using for the file. So, just to be clear, you could take a video on May 1st, import it into LR3 on May 2nd and LR3 would say it was taken May 2nd, and it would be placed in the folder for May 3rd.
    Im really not sure why something so basic has not been addressed in so long, and it makes any sort of managment of video files by date in LR3 useless.
    Very disappointing.

    I agree that the wrong file system date is being used. But I scanned all my Lightroom files (manually) tagged with 'video'. When the file contains suitable metadata with a capture time that is used. When that's missing, the (wrong) file system date is used.
    Interestingly I even found one camera where the dates were originally right (in 2009), then disappeared for a while (probably due to a firmware upgrade!) and then came back again. Summary of what I found:
    Very old (Philips) webcam / format AVI / no metadata visible / wrong date
    Canon Powershot A80 / format AVI / metadata visible / right date
    Nokia N73 cellphone / format MP4 / no metadata / wrong date
    Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2009 / format MOV / metadata visible / right date
    Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2010 / format MOV / no metadata / wrong date
    Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2011 / format MOV / metadata visible / right date
    So my conclusion is that the camera makers are making a bit of a mess when they introduced video. Nikon introduced its video a year or so later than Canon. I don't know if "no metadata" means that there is none, or that Adobe just doesn't like the format. But given the pattern of the firmware updates with Canon, it looks like Canon and Adobe ultimately agreed on the format. But in any case Lightroom (I am using 3.4.1) has a bug w.r.t. its fallback scenario of reading file system dates.
    In my case, the dates changed when I copied all my data from one disk (old NAS) to a new one (new NAS). It is disconcerting that you get the copying date despite comparison tools declaring the files to be identical (Beyond Compare 3 also keeps an eye on date differences).
    Hope this helps, Peter

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

  • LR5 not importing Sony RAW  DSC-RX10 files. Only sees the JPEGs. Any thoughts/fixes?

    LR5 not importing Sony RAW  DSC-RX10 files. Only sees the JPEGs. Any thoughts/fixes?

    The LR 5.3 RC at Adobe Labs lists preliminary support for the RX10, but that usually means the colors will be a bit off, because they are pretending the RX10 is a previous model with a similar sensor.  I would expect better support in the final release of LR 5.3 presumably in a few weeks. 
    You can get started with LR 5.3 RC from http://labs.adobe.com but realize that you’ll probably want to redo your pictures, again, when the final release is available.

  • How to play .avi video files

    I've been searching for a program to download that will play .avi video files. The things I find, I either can't install, or they don't play .avi. I can't install them because I can't figure out how to run .exe applications either, which most of the installation files are (it just says choose application).
    Can someone please tell me of a good update to quicktime or a different video program, and/or tell me how to open .exe files?

    Well you can check out some of the free players like
    VLC:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14738
    or
    Mplayer:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27163
    Both of which will play just about any file format.
    Alternatively you can set up quicktime to play these same files (mpeg4, avi, etc.). You can find out how to do so along with links to the various codecs here:

  • Burning multiple avi video files

    Hi,
    how do I burn mutliple avi video files onto one DVD, using idvd 6?
    thanks
    Jess

    AVI is a big box, and can contain lots of formats inside. Some are compatible with iDVD, some are not. If they are, just drag them on iDVD, then play with the chapters, menus etc.
    If not, you need to convert them in an iDVD (QuickTime) friendly format, loosing some quality. You can use QuickTime Pro (costs money), or ffmpegX (almost free), or alike.

  • Best practice for importing non-"Premiere-ready" video files

    Hello!
    I work with internal clients that provide me with a variety of differnet video types (could be almost ANYTHYING, WMV, MP4, FLV).  I of course ask for AVIs when possible, but unfortunately, I have no control over the type of file I'm given.
    And, naturally, Premiere (just upgraded to CS5) has a hard time dealing with these files.  Unpredictable, ranging from working fine to not working at all, and everything in between.  Naturally, it's become a huge issue for turnaround time.
    Is there a best practice for preparing files for editing in Premiere?
    I've tried almost everything I can think of:  converting the file(s) to .AVIs using a variety of programs/methods.  Most recently, I tried creating a Watch Folder in Adobe Media Encoder and setting it for AVI with the proper aspect ratio.  It makes sense to me that that should work:using an Adobe product to render the file into something Premiere can work with.
    However, when I imported the resulting AVI into Premiere, it gave me the Red Line of Un-renderness (that is the technical term, right?), and had the same sync issue I experienced when I brought it in as a WMV.
    Given our environment, I'm completely fine with adding render time to the front-end of projects, but it has to work.  I want files that Premiere likes.
    THANK YOU in advance for any advice you can give!
    -- Dave

    I use an older conversion program (my PrPro has a much older internal AME, unlike yours), DigitalMedia Converter 2.7. It is shareware, and has been replaced by Deskshare with newer versions, but my old one works fine. I have not tried the newer versions yet. One thing that I like about this converter is that it ONLY uses System CODEC's, and does not install its own, like a few others. This DOES mean that if I get footage with an oddball CODEC, I need to go get it, and install it on the System.
    I can batch process AV files of most types/CODEC's, and convert to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio and at 29.97 FPS (I am in NTSC land). So far, 99% of the resultant converted files have been perfect, whether from DivX, WMV, MPEG-2, or almost any other format/CODEC. If there is any OOS, my experience has been that it will be static, so I just have to adjust the sync offset by a few frames, and that takes care of things.
    In a few instances, the PAR flag has been missed (Standard 4:3 vs Widescreen 16:9), but Interpret Footage has solved those few issues.
    Only oddity that I have observed (mostly with DivX, or WMV's) is that occasionally, PrPro cannot get the file's Duration correct. I found that if I Import those problem files into PrElements, and then just do an Export, to the same exact specs., that resulting file (seems to be 100% identical, but something has to be different - maybe in the header info?) Imports perfectly into PrPro. This happens rarely, and I have the workaround, though it is one more step for those. I have yet to figure out why one very similar file will convert with the Duration info perfect, and then a companion file will not. Nor have I figured out exactly what is different, after running through PrE. Every theory that I have developed has been shot down by my experiences. A mystery still.
    AME works well for most, as a converter, though there are just CODEC's, that Adobe programs do not like, such as DivX and Xvid. I doubt that any Adobe program will handle those suckers easily, if at all.
    Good luck,

  • How to split Large mp4 and AVI video files to smaller scenes

    Hi All
    I’ve been looking into how to cut-up large files ready for import into CS4. So far all I can find are the usual suspects that only lets you cut a section from a file. Dose anyone use any software that enables you to split a large video file (MP4, AVI and so on) into say 20 sections all in one hit?
    I do a lot of HD onboard cams, so the video is set to fire and only shut off when the run has finished. I then end up with about 60 percent of the file (in diferent parts) I need to trash.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated indeed!

  • Avi video files

    Okay, so I've downloaded a video file(yes,an avi), but for some reason iTunes will not allow me to import it.
    Whenever I drag it into iTunes from another folder, I keep getting the little red circle sign. It wont import via file>add file to library either.
    Is there a reason for this? I've previously managed to import to movie files in the past week, so needless to say I'm finding this odd.

    Hi Si_17,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    To the best of my knowledge I didn't think iTunes Supported .avi files, will the files play with another application like Windows Media Player or VLC?

    Hi Catherine,
    Welcome to the Adobe forums.
    Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
    1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
    2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
    Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.
