Importing quicktime or AVI

Hi,
I have a few movies made in Adobe Premier(both in AVI, FLV
and MOV), those i have tried to convert, import to flash with the
wish to export a well compressed movie to publish in a webpages as
a swf. I can´t succed with this at all.
Althoug me and a friend tried that in Premiere, where those
are edited and to export them there to a FLV, MOV as I remember was
no problems at all. I also remember that there where diffrensies in
the video converter tool that also is in my Flash CS3. I simply
believed that if it is possible to convert back and fouth in
Premiere it would also be possible to do so in flash and then get
it to a swf with a sound sync.
What is it that i have missed here - please help Adobe.

You will have to render LiveType elements regardless.
Don't render a QuickTime movie from LiveType. Import the LT project file into Final Cut pro (it has a .ipr file extension after the name)
If you need to change something later in the LiveType file, right click it in the FCP Timeline and choose "Open in Editor" the changes will be updated in FCP's Timeline when you save the LT file and return to FCP.

Import Quicktime Movies to iTunes - Lion

I just downloaded some tutorials which are in Quicktime format. I want to load them onto my iPad and iPhone to watch while I am on the go. Historically I have had no trouble importing Quicktime files into iTunes through either File>Import or the drag and drop method.
I have tried to add my recently downloaded files to iTunes using both methods and nothing happens.
I am running Lion 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,
I have more or less the same issue. I'm running the 10.4.1 iTunes version on my Mid-2010 17" MBP with Lion installed. So all this stuff is pretty up to date.
Before installing Lion on this machine, I imported a lot of .mov videos/movies into the previous version of iTunes without any problem.
Now I want to import into iTunes some .avi movies from my collection. Those .avi movies have subtitles, but the conversion to .mov is easy through QuickTime 7. (You just have to have your .avi and .srt files into the same folder and with the same name, you chose to "Save as", and the job is done within seconds. You get a "muxed" .mov file with integrated subtitles. Cool.)
The problems begin when I want to import that movie into the iTunes Library, 'cause it's absolutely now way to succeed. Opening the new .mov file through iTunes doesn't work. Same result wishing to go through the "Add to Library" command in iTunes, simply trying to drag-n-drop it into the main iTunes window or even dropping the movie's folder into the Library under the path "users/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies".
The nasty thing is that this move looks working fine when the movie is converted through the iSkysoft Video Coverter, but there are some problems: the present version of this app doesn't accept subtitles and the conversion takes far more time then the one through QT7.
But the nastiest thing is that I tried to add the same movie to a 10.1 iTunes version Library, on someone else's Late-2008 15" MBP running Snow Leopard and it just worked perfectly fine !
So, could anyone explain me what's wrong here: the OS ? the iTunes version ?
Thanks so much for any help.

Can only save 32768 colors in quicktime and avi

Hi,
I am using a variation of the JpegImagesToMovie program to store int[] arrays of pixels to quicktime and avi movies. I created a test movie with frames of size 256x256 such that each from contains a gradient of black to white from the top downwards. Since there are 256 shades of grey, I expected a perfectly smooth gradient; however, it only created 32 shades of grey (meaning, it is only using 5-bits of each color channel, hence only 32768 colors total). I set the format as:
      format = new RGBFormat(
          new Dimension(width, height),
          this.length = width*height,
          int[].class,
          frameRate,
          32,
          0x00ff0000,
          0x0000ff00,
          0x000000ff,
          1,
          width,
          Format.FALSE,
          RGBFormat.BIG_ENDIAN);and I am created the colors as:
data[index] = (red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue; where red, green and blue are ints equal to the y-coordinate of the pixel I am setting.
I also tried specifying 24-bit color as opposed to 32-bit. Has any one else seen this effect? Any suggestions? Thanks,
- Mike

Hi again,
Turns out all I needed was to set the compression format as so:
TrackControl tcs[] = processor.getTrackControls();
    for(int i = 0; i < tcs.length; i++) {
      TrackControl c = tcs;
Format f = c.getFormat();
if (f instanceof VideoFormat) {
Format[] fmt = c.getSupportedFormats();
if ((fmt != null) && (fmt.length > 0)) {
for(int j = 0; j < fmt.length; j++) {
if ("MPG4".equals(fmt[j].getEncoding())) {
c.setFormat(fmt[j]);
Thanks anyway,
- Mike

Can't import .mp4 or .avi files

I am unable to import .mp4 or .avi files into iMovie. I have iMovie3.0.3. I am able to import .mov files, but not the two listed above. Is this because i have an older version of iMovie or is it just not possible. I am new to using iMovie, but do understand something. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I am sure I didn't get iMovie 4, my powerbook is over 2 years old.
http://img437.imageshack.us/img437/1526/imovie4at.png
I figured it was just because I have an older version. I've known that I can convert the files in QT Pro, I just do not own it.
I'm probably going to end up getting iLive 05.
Thanks for your help.

Importing quicktime file into iMovie 11 resulting in distortion

After having trouble importing Quicktime files into iMovie hd6, I decided to buy iMovie 11. So the file imports without squishing the image into 4:3 as it did in iMovie hd6, but now the movie has a strange strobe like flashing that is not present in the original.
Any ideas?

See if you can open the file in QuickTIme PLayer. Click Command-I (or WINDOW/INSPECTOR) in QuickTime Player. Tell us what is listed by the word FORMAT:

Importing QuickTime, WMV, and MPG movies

Is it possible to import QuickTime, WMV, or MPG movies into
Captivate? Or can Captivate only import FLV movies.

Hi again
I've personally not encountered a need for converting.
However, on her blog, Silke Fleischer (Former Adobe Captivate
Product Manager) talks about a converter that may be recommended.
It's called SoThink Video Converter and you may examine or order it
by visiting the site.

How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

Hello,
You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-
-Lew

Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

Imported high quality AVI looks bad in PE

Hi all. I recorded a video of a computer screen using CAMSTUDIO at 200FPS (which looks great). After importing the video (avi) into Premier Elements the video is choppy & worthless. How can I change the settings on this video, so that it looks as good or close to the original?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a similar issue with AVI files. I have Sony Digital 8 Camcorder and through a different program I downloaded the tapes and made them into AVI files.
I was trying to make a movie with premiere 7 using these AVI files. The quality was poor. There is no smooth motion of the movies, it was kind of moving frame by frame and also at the end of the movie faces and surrounding colors was weird (as if they are negative etc..)
I chose the out put video quality to be high and format to be NTSC. I have a 3gig ram, Windows vista laptop.
Am I missing something in movie making setting. Can someone help
Thx...

Importing Quicktime movies into iMovie 6i

I'm currently running iMovie 6 on an iMac G5 (iSight) with system 10.4.11 and trying to import Quicktime movies. The movies are nothing more than 10 minute slideshows created in iPhoto 6. The first four imported with no trouble but the fifth created an error screen that said "The file could not be imported, unknown error". . . . very informative. There are still 20 gigs on my internal drive but, to be safe, I created the iMovie project on an external drive with 60 free gigs. I tried updating iMovie and iPhoto to the latest versions with no success. Then I went back to iPhoto and broke the erring slideshow into two halves, before exporting them to Quicktime movies. The first imported correctly into iMovie but the second created the same error code. Since then, I have tried three or four other "slideshow/movies" with the same recurring error.
A year ago I followed this same process successfully to end up with a final DVD. I used the same versions of iLife 6 but, of course was not at Tiger version 10.4.11. My guess is that I was at 10.4.6 at that time.
If anyone has a fix or a suggestion for this issue, I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I stumbled on the problem and it's solution so I thought I would post it for those interested. After two days of frustration, I accidentally discovered that the culprit was the backslash character in the name of my slideshow. While iPhoto has no problem exporting a file with that character in the name, iMovie won't accept it for importing. This sounds like an issue related to our PeeCee friends for whom the backslash is off limits. What is most puzzling is why Apple's iMovie programmers couldn't flag it as an "illegal character" error. It certainly isn't an "unknown error".
Anyway, thanks for any thought you may have given to this issue.

Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
Error during import
The file could not be imported: (-2002)
This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
Thanks!

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.

Importing quicktime videos into imovie

Can you please tell me how to import quicktime movies into imovie 7.1.4. I have quicktime pro.
Also, is it possible to adjust exposures in quicktime pro?

I'm afraid it doesn't work. At least I don't succeed dong it with Imovie 08
Nothing happens when you drag the Quicktime file in the Imovie project window or on the Imovie icon in the dock…
Then I import my quicktime.mov in my Iphoto library. No problem
But how can you force Imovie 08 to actualize the "vignettes" (in french) of Iphoto.
Then you would see it in the Iphoto videos and then just easy.
It does it from time to time, but you don't control it.
Would it be better via Itunes ?
Well, It was easy with Imovie HD
Then you can say : import it in ImovieHD then import The HD movie in Imovie 08. Very poor result !
There must a more Apple way to do it !

Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
Also if you have imported them then this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free
