Importing MOV clips into Premier Elements 10

I'm trying to import Qucktime MOV clips into Adobe Premier Elements 10 but they install as audio files only. How can I get them to load as video clips so I can construct a movie from them?

Hi
I'm using a Mobius 1080p HD camera shooting in HD producing MOV files.
I've inspected one of the files using Quicktime/Windows and the information is
Format - H.264. 1920 x 1080. Millions 16 bit Integer (Little Endian). Mono. 32.000 Htz
Movie FPS = 30.00
Playing FPS = 30.00
Data Size 401.47 MB
Data Rate 18.19 mbits/sec
Duration 00.03.05.00
Normal Size 1920 x 1080 pixels
Current Size 1920 x 1080 pixels
The clips play in excellent quality HD and without a problem in Windows Media Player
I have reformated some in MP4 format and they will play back in Premier Elements after a fashion.. but very slow and jerky making editing just about impossible. I have reloaded Adobe Premier Elements on another computer but get the same results.
It appears Adobe Premier Elements is not up to dealing with these files.

  • Cannot import entire dvd into premier elements 10

    I am having problems importing and entire dvd that was recorded on a mini-dvd camcorder into premier elements 10.  My OS is windows 7 64 bit.  I have read thru these forums for hours and have not come across anything that will resolve the problem.  Yes, the files on the dvd are a combination of vob, ifo and bup files.  When I try to import media from the finalized disc or from the camcorder itself, I get the same results.  It will import maybe 9 minutes of a 30 minute dvd.  I did read on one of these threads to try and combine the files using command prompt.  There is a total of 4 vob files, and when I combine them using the command prompt, the first two files copy and then I get an error message saying "cyclic redundancy check" and the whole process stops.  I can play the the entire dvd on windows media player with no problems.  I have also contacted tech support and the person I spoke with could not help me at all.  I gave her access to my computer and she said everything looked good to run Premier Elements 10, she was not sure why I was having problems.
    All I am trying to do is pull a couple of single clips from the mini-dvd and burn them to a dvd.  I don't even need the sound, just the clips.  I can also tell you that the mini-dvd I am trying to import has 66 individual clips on it.  I just need 2 or 3 of them.  It seems like this should not be such a complicated process.... 
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks so much for the quick response.
    When I start my project I do have the Hard Disk Camcorder setting selected.  I did clean the C drive and defragment as well.  I put the finalized disc into my computer's disc drive and used the Media Downloader in Premiere Elements; selecting the Get Media from DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive.  I get the same results.  Only a small part of the dvd is being imported.   I am not copying to any other drive.  The camcorder the discs are coming from is a Panosonic VDR-D220.  I have also tried to plug the camcorder into the computer via USB and import the media with all the same steps mentioned above with the same result.   
    When I look at the info. on the disc, it shows 15 files.  The files are a combination of vob, ifo and bup.
    They are listed like this:
    video_ts    bup file    18kb
    video_ts.ifo   ifo file   18kb
    video_ts      vob file   166kb
    vts_01_0    bup file    14kb
    vts_01_0.ifo  ifo file    14kb
    vts_01_0      vob file   51,538kb
    vts_02-0    bup file    16kb
    vts_02_0.ifo   ifo file  16kb
    vts_02_0    vob file    275,850kb
    vts_03_0   bup file    32kb
    vts_03_0.ifo   ifo file  32kb

    vts_04_0.ifo  ifo file   14kb

    I am not sure if all that info helps or not.  If there is something else I can tell you, please let me know.

  • Is there a way for me to import movie clips into i movie?

    I am trying to make a small video for my fire department using imovie 09. I have a bunch of video's loaded on my computer but I am unable to import them into imovie. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas?

    See if you can open your videos with QuickTime Player. If they will play in QuickTime Player, click Window/Inspector in QuickTime Player, and let us know what audio and video codecs are in your videos.
    When a video will not import, it either means
    1) that iMovie cannot edit this codec - so the solution is to convert it to a supported codec.
    2) that it is a supported codec, but contains extra tracks like chapters, closed captioning, etc, that iMovie cannot edit. The solution is to delete these extra tracks.

  • 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.

  • Importing MPEG2 files into Premier Elements  8

    I just purchased a Sony DCR -SX44 camcorder which records in SD format MPEG2.  It appears Elements 9 supports this format but it is unclear if Elements 8 (which I have) supports MPEG2.  To avoid a re-stock fee I have not used the camcorder yet.  Does Elements 8 support the SD MPEG2 format?

    I have NO idea if any of these are still sold, but reading is free
    For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

  • Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

    I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
    Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
    And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
    I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
    Photoshop CS2 and saved each
    psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    png
    Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
    Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
    If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
    the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
    So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
    it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
    Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
    apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
    The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
    and the "black background" became a "solid color".
    Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
    To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
    followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
    Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
    created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

  • Recorded TV in 16:9.  VOB file imported into Premier Elements as 4:3

    I have imported a VOB file into Premier Elements.  It has been recorded in 16:9 format.  Unfortunately, when imported it converts to a 4:3.  Can some please explain why?
    Tony

    In the Project Panel, you can Rt-click on the Clip and choose Interpret footage. There, you can change things like Frame Rate, PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), and can also change how an Alpha Channel is used, should your footage have an Alpha Channel.
    It can be useful, especially with regards to the PAR. Since Frame Size is the same for NTSC 4: 3 & 16:9, except for the PAR to display "regular," or WideScreen.
    Good luck, and do check out how well your machine handles the Menuing functions. That is where many DVR's and VHS to DVD, plus much software deviates from the DVD-specs. Because the first .VOB contains Menus, as well as the first part of the MPEG-2 stream, it is usually where problems will arise. This is covered in that article. With programs, such as Adobe Encore, the DVD's first .VOB WILL be 100% DVD-compliant.

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.

  • My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

    My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project.  After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline.  When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
    1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
    2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio.  I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
    When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce,  it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio.  Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline.  I've never experienced this before.  Any suggestions?

    When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly?  If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

  • How to import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

    how do  i import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

    chuckx
    Just for background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    The generalized answer is Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photo to the Expert view Timeline.
    But all that can generate a mountain of questions about the photo and the project into which it will be going
    a. what are the pixel dimensions of the photo - will or will I not have to resize or crop/resize the photo for the project
    b. is the photo going into a project that will consist of photos and videos
    c. if video inclusion, that leads to questions about the properties of the video so that you can set the project preset to match those
    d. that leads to questions on the best size to have your photo before you import them into this project.
    So, one simple question generates a lot of side questions.
    Please let us know how we might help to sort out the details for your Premiere Elements workflow and its source media.
    Thank you.

  • Problem importing some .MOV files into Premiere Elements 11

    Hello,
    I am trying to import film footage into Premiere Elements 11 and am coming across a rather confusing problem. All of the footage is in .mov format and all of it was taken on the same device on the same day with the same settings.
    When I try to import the footage, some files import ok, others will not import at all and I get a message saying 'The importer reported a generic error'. It seems very odd to me that some .MOV files are OK and others are not.
    This same footage can easily be imported into Premiere Elements 10 and into Windows Movie Maker - which makes me think the issue is with Premiere Elements 11.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks

    What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from the camcorder to your computer?
    Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer?

    I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.
