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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can you link Audio to any video in time line so it functions as if you imported a video with audio?

    Hi there...
    I have video and I also have externally recorded audio to sync with it. Now I understand that you can drag the video in (delete its audio if it has any) and then drag a audio clip into the timeline and place it under neath it. I can get it synced and all that fine.
    The problem I have is that it is cumbersome to edit like this. When you import a video with embedded audio if you make a cut it cuts the video AND the audio attached to it in one go. If you do it the way I am doing now you need to add extra cuts on the audio file as well. So you effectively doubling the clicks needed to edit. Also when you are deleting clips and sliding stuff about you need to be extra careful to make sure that the audio and video stays in sync.
    What I am hoping for is a way to "attach" the audio to the video with out adding a long and time consuming process of rendering out a video file with it embedded.
    Solutions I have tried and failed.
    GROUP : This seams like the obvious thing to do.. If I group them I can select them as one, move them as one.. but if I select the cut tool it still only cuts either the video or audio.. not both.
    SEQUENCE : The other option I tried is once it is synced I make a new sequence and add the sequence with the synced audo and video to it and then edit on that. I am not editing a sequence not the raw audio and video. The problem here is that while now the cut tool cuts both the video AND audio at once and I can also move and edit easily.. the problem is that now the wave form dose not show up in the audio track when you expand it. It is just a big blank green box (even though there is audio in the original sequence)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I'm still using Cs6.... I found that if you hold shift+click with the cut tool it cuts it.. I'll try link as shifting is a pain...
    Maybe there is a way to set teh shift+click as the default action for the cut tool?

  • Import AVCHD videos with LR3

    Hello. I would like import AVCHD videos (with m2ts extension) with LR3 but I don´t know how to do it. Please, could you help me?
    Thank you very much.

    Glad you pointed to that thread; the message was proven repeatedly to be erroneous and misleading.  Windows natively supports AVCHD (e.g., Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center).  All new consumer and most new professional HD video capture devices (including all forthcoming Nikon D-SLRs) use AVCHD rather than, say, the .MOV format that you do support which actually is NOT supported natively in Windows and requires a QuickTime install.
    Again, it is a trivial task to have Lightroom recognize/catalog/playback AVCHD files.  About an hour's work programming-wise to incorporate AVCHD capability into Lightroom's shell (and Adobe can simply let pre-Windows 7 users know that they'll get AVCHD support when they upgrade to Windows 7).

  • 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

  • MP4 Videos with Hikvision codec?

    Hi,
    I've a great amount of videos that need to be available in a website. The videos are recorded using Hikvision cameras and therefore they have a propietary codec. I'm having a lot problems with these codecs (running on some pcs, not working on others) so I decided to serve the videos through streaming using Flash Media Server.
    I've been able to use FMS with the example "sample video player". It works perfectly with the mp4 samples of the tutorial. But when I try to put one of my videos the player screen keeps buffering. It's important to highlight that I can play my videos with Windows Media Player (Hikvision provides a Windows Media Player Filter) and a propietary player that this company provides as well.
    I would like to know if there is a way to set up these codecs into FMS, because I know that FMS supports MP4, but I'd like to specify the codec I just need.
    Thanks in advance

    First of all, thanks for your reply.
    I ran FLVCheck and I got Error 18 (Truncated box). I guessed this was why FMS didn't get the propritory codecs from the OS. And that's why I wondered if there's a way to link FMS with other codecs. I'm afraid this is not looking good for me .

  • 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

  • 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?

  • How do I import AVI video with stereo audio (and keep it that way)?

    Today I just discovered that all the AVI video with stereo audio I've ever imported into a Premiere Pro CS6 project has been mysteriously converted to mono. And I can't find any import setting anywhere that enable me to change this.
    Here's the deal...
    I've have an AVI file with stereo audio (the file is actually a stereo sound test that I downloaded to prove that I wasn't imagining things). On my hard drive, I right-click and view the properties:
    Video
    Length: 00:00:36
    Frame width: 320
    Frame height: 240
    Frame rate: 25 frames/second
    Audio
    Bit rate: 128kbps
    Channels: 2 (stereo)
    Audio sample rate: 44 kHz
    I click on it to play and listen with headphones--everything is playing in the correct part of the stereo spectrum. Then, I import it to Premiere, click the file name in the left content menu, and check the properties, suddenly they read:
    Type: AVI Movie
    File Size: 1.1 MB
    Image Size: 320 x 240
    Frame Rate: 25.00
    Source Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
    Project Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
    Total Duration: 00:00:36:15
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    Sure enough, I drag it into the sequence, listen to it, and it's indeed playing mono. Outside of Premiere, the original source file still reads and plays correctly with stereo sound.
    When I import stereo WAVs and MP3s, it keeps the original stereo channels without me having to do anything special. I even just imported the same exact file as a MOV with stereo audio, and it showed up in Premiere as:
    Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    What is going on here with AVIs? Am I doing something wrong? Are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
    (And before anyone suggests I only use MOV in the future... that's not exactly the answer I'm looking for.)

    Thank you for that info.
    For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
    There are two issues with that file:
    The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
    Good luck,

  • Import avi video with uncompressed PCM audio

    I am unable to import into iMovie 10 or FCP X the audio portion of avi videos with uncompressed PCM audio. I just get the video and silence. They imported fine into previous versions of iMovie. Of course, I can use conversion programs to produce versions that import, but I have hundreds of hours of video in this format, so I would prefer not to have to do that. Is there a plug-in that would solve the problem?

    Thank you for that info.
