Importing *.avi files created in Audition 1.5

Any of you Adobe boffins taking notice here? Hope so, cos here's a job for you.
Get any *.avi file you like, then load it into Audition (any version, doesn't matter, I've tried this with all of them)
If you are, in fact, lucky enough to get Audition to open the file you've chosen, muck around as much as you want with the audio stream, then export the entire Multisession as an avi, with mp3 audio codec. What I've essentially done here is recreate the audio stream as a 192kbps 48000Hz 32bit mp3, and interleaved it back into the video.
Next, try to get that to import into Soundbooth CS4, or Premiere CS4, or Adobe Media Encoder CS4. I've had nothing short of a pain in the *** to get it to work. It just keeps coming up with, "Unsupported audio rate in file".
Now, remember what I've done. I created this file using Adobe Audition 1.5, and now your super duper mega-expensive piece of **** Soundbooth won't let me work with it, and the other video-editor/creator programs in this 'suite' won't work with the file either!
I've been working with this type of software since the days of Syntrillium's Cool Edit - the program you used as the base for Audition. I've also been remixing music as a DJ for over 20 years, doing video editing for almost 15 years, plus I'm not exactly running a piece of **** machine here. I have all the latest codecs and Windows Updates installed. With that in mind, I will be offended at any such lack of respect, like the, "Have you tried, (Basic no0b-level ******** thing to do)" that you self-proclaimed 'tech-heads' usually reply with. This 'Creative Suite 4 Master Collection' of applications has just cost me $5000, so you can believe my disappointment that it doesn't work!
System specs:
Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 motherboard
Intel E6850 Core2Duo CPU @ 3.2GHz
4096MB Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 RAM
Twin ASUS EAH2900XT VGA cards (in Crossfire)
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro sound card
Twin Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA-II hard drives in RAID(0)
Operating systems (dual-boot): Windows Xp Professional X64 SP2 / Vista Ultimate X64 SP1
CS4 Suite installed on Xp X64 SP2, with all latest updates/codec packs, etc. fully installed and activated.

Now, make sure you read and understand
i everything
I've written in this reply.
(quote)"AVI is a very, um, "open" format, and heavily dependent on the OS (in your case Windows). "(endquote)
Tell me the truth. You're an American fresh-out-of-college no0b fuckwit, with no 'hands-on' experience at all. (actually,the 'hands-on' experience you
i do
have is limited to your hands on your dick! For you to send a reply such as the one you have to me, it shows you obviously haven't taken note of my system specs, nor my level of experience with both computers in general and audio/video encoding.
If the correct codecs are installed, it then becomes heavily dependent on the
i software
and whether it has the capability to 'read' the file. Thing is, even after exporting an 'uncompressed' *.avi, Soundbooth CS4 keeps coming up with, "Unsupported audio rate in file." Remember, this is a 'fully-fledged' install, straight from the DVD discs in the package box, and fully registered with all the Soundbooth CS4-specific codecs it puts in post-registration.
You ask what codecs were used in creating the file that Soundbooth won't open. NONE, you fucken idiot! Uncompressed means exactly that - NO FUCKEN CODEC COMPRESSION! This has happened
i after
processing the *.avi through VirtualDub, the most widely used
i codec-independent
program on the planet for uncompressing *avi's, irrespective of what codec has been used to
i create
the interleave.
What part of my message, "I've also been remixing music as a DJ for over 20 years, doing video editing for almost 15 years, plus I'm not exactly running a piece of **** machine here. I have all the latest codecs and Windows Updates installed" didn't you understand? I actually
i re-write
my own versions of Windows, you fucken goose - that's from Windows '95 right up to Vista 64 Ultimate! Maybe you also didn't read the part of my message where I said, "I will be offended at any such lack of respect, like the, "Have you tried, (Basic no0b-level ******** thing to do)" that you self-proclaimed 'tech-heads' usually reply with"
When I say the program doesn't work, I fucken mean it! I'm 40 years old, mate, and haven't got time to be treated like a dumb ****! I've just spend FIVE FUCKEN
i GRAND
on this software, based on what Adobe has told me about its' capabilities, and when it's not working due to you fuckwit tech-heads not getting it right for an operating system that's over SIX YEARS OLD now, you can expect blokes like me to go off their nut when you treat us like schoolkids!
(quote)"Auditions MP3 exporter, when working with AVI, does not allow 48k sample rate nor does it allow 32 bit sample depth."(endquote)
Well that's just fucken stupid, isn't it? When the program encodes and resamples audio at those bitrates, it won't export it? Honestly, grow a fucken brain and realise how dumb that statement actually is! There are a number of other audio/video editing programs that DO open, render and re-encode at these bitrates. Every other program I use for encoding *.avi's allows me open and work with the files that Soundbooth CS4
i won't
open on the same OS, namely NeroVision 4 (for DVD-authoring) and other encoding software such as Cucusoft and ConvertX-To-DVD. Even your own program, Audition 1.5, has no problem in splitting 'movie.avi' into audio and video streams - both of which are fully viewable in the multisession.
Soundbooth CS4 is a ****-up, mate, plain and simple. Get a patch out that allows this piece of **** to open an ordinary everyday uncompressed *.avi file, or I want every cent of my money back!

  • How to import AVI files created in Adobe Premier Elements 2?

    I have captured video in Adobe Premier Elements 2 on my PC from my Canon Optura camcorder. I have a few hundred small .avi files that I need a friend to import into his Final Cut Pro so they can be edited along with other footage that he has created. What is the best way to do this? Should I output a different file type from Adobe to make it easier for him to import?
    Thanks in advance.

    No, it would be easier to give him the camera and let him capture natively.
    bogiesan</div>
    Unfortunately the clips are dispersed throughout many tapes so it is not reasonable for my friend to capture directly from the tapes.
    I'm new to video editing and I don't know what format is recorded by my camcorder. Reading in this forum indicates that the .AVI files are just "wrappers". Is the compressor part of Final Cut? Would he be able to convert the files? Is it a problem if the time codes are lost. Can I do anything else in Adobe to make the conversion easier?
    Sorry for all the dumb questions.

  • Import Failure - AVI File created by HyCam

    I am trying to import AVI files into my Premier CS4 that have been created with  a screen grabber software called HyperCam 2.  The files play fine in Windows Media Player and, as a test, in Windows Movie Maker.  When I import them into CS4,  they show up in the bin but the screen is black.  I would dearly appreciate any suggestions.

    This ARTICLE will give you a bit of background on the file formats and CODEC's, plus will tell you how to extract the info on those files.
    That info will be the key to editing. It could be as simple as downloading and installing a CODEC, or might require that one convert the files to another format/CODEC.
    Good luck,

  • Importing AVI files into Final cut creates a pop

    How can I stop getting a popping sound when I import AVI files into Final Cut. I figured it must be the type of file itself but I cant seem to find a free converter to convert my AVIs into what ever is need (which is what? .mov files?)
    Please help

    The very basics of non-linear editing is to know what video and audio codecs your particular NLE works with natively. FCP works with many video codecs but only a few audio codecs. Typically it works best with AIFF at 48khz, 16 bit.
    You can find out all the various native codecs and formats in the User's Manual, Help Files or by looking through the Easy Setup list.
    FWIW, both AVI and MOV are not really codecs at all; they are both merely containers that could contain video and audio made from any number of codecs. So saying you have an AVI file or a MOV file is kind of like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell anyone much at all.
    Both QuickTime Pro and Compressor (which you most likely already have installed) should be able to convert to a native codec for use in FCP.

  • 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...

  • Importing AVI files

    Hello. I've just switched over from the dark side to Mac and I need some help using FCE. Here are my basic questions:
    1) Best settings/method for importing AVI files from a hard disk?
    2) Best export settings for high quality use in powerpoint and/or DVD/CD?
    Now for a little more info...
    I work with athletes in the areas of sport science and performance. I have tons of video saved on multiple hard drives in AVI format that we did video analysis of technique using DartFISH. They were originally captured with good quality digital video cameras via DartFISH as AVI files. These are large files and high quality video (200-300 MB for a 1 min clip) .
    RIght now, if I choose "import: from file" I get a message saying the clips are not optimized for FCE and I should recapture them. Unfortunately, all I have are the files on HD and not the original tapes, etc.
    What is the best way to import the AVI clip files into FCE for editing? Settings, etc. Do I need to convert to a Mac-friendly format first with a third-party app like QuickTime Pro, VLC, MPEG StreamClip? Use iMovie?
    My overall goal is to not lose quality/suffer degradation of the clips in the conversion, edit, export process. I'm not that concerned with file size, but I also don't really want to go through 3 or four steps and create multiple large files for the same clip.
    My desired output is for continued work with athletes so they can take video home (DVD or CD of clips) to review and academic presentations (powerpoint). So seeing fine detail in the clips is important. An edit/output set-up that I will use a lot is merging two clips to play in a PIP, side-by-side, or overlay format. i.e., athlete A with perfect form on the left, athlete B with flaws on the right and the clips play simultaneously as one final output movie.
    Is the basic Quicktime export function the best for my needs?
    I've got a decent background in computers and basic video editing. Clip splitting, marking in/out, timeline, transitions, and other edit functions are no problem. My main area of weakness is all the different video formats, codecs, compression options, and other similar settings. There weren't many of those types of choices in my old system. I've produced some movies with FCE already, but the quality in the videos dropped from the original clips to final output.
    Thanks,
    TD...

    Tom--
    Thanks for the response. Using MPEG Streamclip solved my import problems. Using the default DV25 compression seemed to yield a file of similar size to my original AVI files. Is there much benefit in using the DVCPRO25 or DVCPRO50?
    I'm still having some troubles with export format settings. Using the default Quicktime movie export, the finished clips looks to be fine in Quicktime. But using the .mov clip in Powerpoint yields some degraded quality. The picture appears to have "lines" and generally looks less crisp/clean. I thought this might have been just some Microsoft flaw in the Powerpoint movie engines, but I tried the same thing in Apple Keynote and got the same result. I have some screen shot image captures I could send you, but not sure how on the discussion board.

  • Problems in importing avi file

  • 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.

  • 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 movie files created with SONY HDR-TG5

    Having trouble importing movie files created with this camera. Have had success importing direct from the camera using streamclip, but struggling with old files imported from our PC. These files have these two extensions; .modd and .m2ts

    Eric:
    Thank you. MPEG Slipstream worked great.
    Do you know if there is software available that would let me see what is in/copy the files in the Sony folder so that I might be able to copy the disk directly instead of having to copy the files off of it with Handbrake? Would having the QT add-on for the MPEG-2 playback component be helpful?

  • 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

  • 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.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Importing AVI files without having to constantly Render?

    I got a new camera for my b-day, but it uses a hard drive instead of a tape. So, instead of "capturing" video by playing it through the FCE interface, I just import AVI files right off the camera. However, now when I want to drag a clip to a sequence, it is always Unrendered. I have to go through the pain staking process of rending long clips, and as I edit parts of it become unrendered again. It is making editing a real hassle!
    Is there a way to get the clips into the software in a format that will resolve this problem? Or is there some other solution that I'm not thinking of?
    Thanks - Berrett

    Hi,
    FCE doesn't work with the AVI format as standard, so it has to render all time.
    You need to convert your material first in one of the supported video format for FCE.
    FCE4 supports only DV, HDV and AVCHD (last two only through the Apple Intermediate Codec).
    Depending what original video format you are shooting, you can try to use a free utility like Mpegstreamclip (www.squared5.com) to convert your source material into one of the supported by FCE.
    If your camera is SD definition you will be using the DV format, otherwise you will be converting into the Apple Intermediate Codec, as a QuickTime movie in all cases. No avi.
    Regards,
    Armando.
