Keynote video conversion to fuzz upon importing

Keynote 6.5.2 will not run my high resolution microscope videos which are .avi and .mov. It converts them to a lower resolution which ruins my data for presentations. Any suggestions? I have to keep using Keynote'09 for my next talk as a result. I have the feeling that Keynote 6.5.2 might never work for scientific presentations as I have not been able to convert my files to a format that Keynote 6.5 will import.

Might be it. I have 16GB on my internal and used Save As to an external 500 GB (390 GB available) with same issue. However, I did make a few changes in iMovie Preferences to the Importing and Playback panes and video importing is much nicer.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Adobe Premiere Pro Automatically Crops Source Video Upon Import

This is really confusing me and I've never had this kind of trouble before. I have source videos that are 720x480, but as soon as I import them into Premiere, they are cropped to 540x480. It's not a problem with sequence settings or anything, because the imported source file is cropped before it's even in a sequence. I tried looking on-line for a solution, but couldn't find any. Does anyone know how this can be fixed...maybe some import settings that I don't know about?
Here are some screenshots to visually represent what I was saying:
This is properties of the video
This is what Premiere automatically does right after the video is imported as a source
This is a screenshot when played with VLC:
This is a screenshot when played from the source in Premiere:
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. This video is due Saturday and all my footage is cropped, please help me. Thank you!

11. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro AND Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Automatically Crops Source Video Upon Import
My AP Elements (version 13) has exactly the same bug. I have a DVD where 25% of every VOB file's images' right border has been cut away during the inserting phase into Elements. No adjusting of frame and pixel aspect ratios, black borders narrow or wide, project settings automatic or manual do not help. Gone is gone. But the same VOB files play normally (100% image) in many other players/editors. I have experimented with VLC and Wondershare Video Converter.
On the other hand Elements is able to read correctly other DVD's VOB files. See discussion about this very same bug in Elements thread.

Horiz lines on 16mm video conversion imported in vob format

Imported 16mm video conversion in vob format (properties 25.00fps, image 520x576). When I magnify frame in monitor screen, quality is excellent.
When I view in Flash flv or export frame (see pic), image degrades and horizontal lines appear on edge of moving objects/people - bit like old low-res monitor. Some frames seem OK but most are unusable. Anybody else seen this issue?

In NCH Prism I select the "Add DVD" option.
Output format "AVI", Encoder Options - Video compressor "DV Encoder PAL", Sound compressor "DV Audio", Sound format "48,000 Hz Stereo".
Video Output options "Tick, Resize Video" -> "Shrink or Enlarge ... 720W x 576H". "Tick, Change framerate 25.00"
Works an absolute treat so far.

No video upon importing movies into iMovie?

I have had my MacBook less than a month and am still getting familiar with it. I took several video clips of my son on his skateboard this weekend with a Casio digital camera. It has an SD card. I imported the video using a USB adapter with the SD card. When I try to play back, I can hear the audio, but am seeing a blank white screen.
Any pointers?

I imported the video using a USB adapter with the SD card. When I try to play back, I can hear the audio, but am seeing a blank white screen.
A white screen usually means no video codec is available for playback. Most Casio cameras use an AVI file container with M-JPEG video and either DVI ADPCM or Unsigned Integer audio. If you imported these into iPhoto, then I would expect both the m-JPEG/DVI ADPCM and M-JPEG/Unsigned Integer content to play back in the QT Player but only the M-JPEG/Unsigned Integer files to import into iMovie '08. The only question in my mind is whether you are saying your imported via USB directly to iPhoto or that an SD Card reader allowed you to import directly to iMovie '08. If the former, do you have Perian installed? If the latter, you need to check the imported file to see if iMovie attempted to perform some sort of a conversion during the camcorder import process in which case the regular QT components may or may not have been accessed.

Vob videos get cropped in Premiere Pro CC upon importing

At importing Vob videos (format 720 x 576) they get cropped to 520 x 576.
I tried with various videos and it happened with all of them.
This seems to be a premiere pro CC bug as it doesn't happen in Premiere Pro CS6, where they import fine.

Thanks for your answer John.
I read the link you posted and I have also posted a bug report.
The cropping happens at the importing, not at the sequence editing or exporting. It is the source video that is cropped when imported.
Although they talk about other video formats this seems to have happened to other customers:

Best practice video conversion from download

I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
standard video editing software for editing.

Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

I'm using Windows 8. I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos. When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section. what up?

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

IPod Touch Video Conversion

Although I use H.264 video encoding in Lightroom 3b, importing the resulting video into iTunes 9 gives me a message, "Sorry, iPod touch can't read this format."
At the Genius Bar in an Apple store, I was told thru a messenger, "That's because of how the iPhone/Touch is coupled to the hard drive."
Now, that's a somewhat general answer.
But, since this process requires one pass to create the video and another pass to convert it (double the time), I'd really like to know exactly why an H.264 video can't be synced to an iPod and played without conversion.

do your files meet the requirements to play on a Touch ?

perhaps you want to take a look at handbrake http://handbrake.fr/details.php.
it has a preset for the Touch.

CS3 is making my m2t files audio go out of sync upon import

I am using a Matrox Axio LE running Premiere Pro CS3.
I'm using a Focus enhancements DR-HD100 to record in 720p 59.94 in m2t file format. After importing the clips into CS3 the video and audio is sometimes out of sync by 7-12 frames. It seems to happen with varied lengths of projects and there is no way to tell exactly when the video will go out of sync with the video.
After speaking with Techs at Focus I have run a couple tests and I don't think that anything is wrong with my DR-HD100s. I can play the same m2t clips that are out of sync in Premiere Pro CS3 in Power DVD and they play back fine. No issues with sync. It appears that Premiere Pro is doing something with the clips upon import that is messing with the sync.
Any Ideas?

Here are a couple of thoughts:
1.) can you disconnect the Matrox and test the files in a non-Matrox Project? Any better?
2.) as PrPro can have issues with MPEG files, can you Export as a DV-AVI (or similar) from your DR-HD100? Any better?
3.) can you demux your files into elemental streams and Import these separately?
4.) is your OOS issue constant, over the course of a Clip, or does it drift? Constant can be easily fixed in PrPro, by turning Snap OFF, then Alt-clicking the Audio only, and nudging it along the Timeline. Once done, the Audio and Video will be re-linked. Rember to turn Snap back ON. If it drifts, you may need to Razor the Clips and work on the resulting parts separately, as stated before.
5.) have you tried Render/Replace for the Audio? This will get you a WAV file. Is that any better?
Good luck,

Audio Video does not sync upon INPUT of .mp4 file

I use Elgato Video Capture to digitize 6-hour VHS tapes. It emits *.mp4 files and passes them to iMovie.
In iMovie 9 there were no problems.
Using the same workflow in iMovie 11 leaves the audio lagging progressively behind the video. Amusing, but useless.
I searched these forums and found answers to the problem of in-sync audio getting out of sync on export. That is not my problem! My audio is out of sync upon import into iMovie 11.
Do I have to go back to iMovie 9?

I don't know, but if it were me, I would use EyeTV to export shorter chunks, e.g. logical events, rather than all 6 hours at once.
Alternatively, you could use MPEG Streamclip and chop it up there into logical events.
You can right-click on the EyeTV recording in EyeTV and select reveal in finder. Then right-click on the .eyeTV file in the finder and select SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS. You can then drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip and split it there. You may need the $20 Apple MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if this is the case.
The advantage of doing it in EyeTV is you wouldn't have to spend the $20.
My only other idea is to check the EyeTV forums.

Blurry, deformed vectors upon import

I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I'm pretty new to After Effects and Illustrator. I just finished using the pen tool in AI to draw a mascot for my videos, but while everything looks fine in AI, upon importing it inside AE it's blurred and deformed quite horribly. I've saved AI files, eps, etc and imported with "import as: Composition - Cropped Layers" but nothing works. Can anyone help me? Could it have been a mistake I made in AI?
Thanks in advance.

Losing Audio in Video Conversion m2ts mp4

I am using a video importing device and software that creates a "m2ts" file.   I can play the created "m2ts" file perfectly using VLC.
However, neither QuickTime 7 or QuickTime 10.3 will play this file.   When I tried to use MPEG Streamclip I was presented with a pop-up suggesting I need to purchase an additional plug-in, (which I am happy to do). It suggested I go here to purchase. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2
I tried that, but was redirected here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html
I have no idea if the software I need is at this redirected website.
The plot thickens.   The importing software has the ability within it to convert video file to a mp4.   I tried that because I have found mp4 to be more compatible.
Unfortunately, I lose all audio (the video is perfect) when I try MPEG Streamclip or VLC. With QuickTime 10.3 I get perfect audio and video. So, I drag the mp4 file into iMovie 06 (aka iMovie HD) and it begins converting into something. When the conversion is complete the audio is gone!
I have dumped many mp4 files into iMovie 06, and never had a problem until now.
Thanks for reading, suggestions appreciated.

I thought I would report my progress. ( I have sound now, BUT !! )
I purchased a video conversion program from the Mac App Store.   It is called “AnyVideo converter HD". It is well reviewed.
So, I dropped in my "m2ts" file. I set the conversion to "Computer MOV 720p HD". "AnyVideo converter HD" converted a 1 minute video in about 15 seconds to a "mov".   The converted file had excellent picture quality and sound, it played perfectly using QuickTime.
Then the trouble started. When I dropped this 60 second clip into iMovie 06 (set for 720p) it's conversion process took 35 minutes ?!?!   The result was flawless! However, a two-hour video conversion would not be complete until about the time Capt. Kirk joins Starfleet.

Lumix GH4 - AVCHD clips 16.5 hours in the past upon import.

I have a Panasonic Lumix GH4 (firmware V2.0). I just discovered that all my clips shot in AVCHD have an incorrect creation date upon import into FCPX (10.1.4). All files have a creation time/date exactly 16 hours and 30 minutes behind the actual recording time.
The clock on my camera is correct time. The date shows as being correct when I review the clips on the GH4. But when importing to FCPX, the date in the media import window shows the creation date as exactly 16.5 hrs in the past. I have tried this on my Macbook Pro, iMac and just returned from the local Apple store where I tried it on their Mac Pro, with a Genius observing the process. Exact same result.
This ONLY occurs when the clips are AVCHD format. The GH4 offers AVCHD, MP4, MOV. All clips shot in mp4 or mov show the correct creation date. It is only the AVCHD clips that have this issue.
For example, if is shoot short 3 clips at exactly noon (12:00pm) today. Quickly switching the format between the clips. Upon import to FCPX the mov and the mp4 show a 12:00pm January 26 creation date. The avchd clip show 5:30pm, January 25 date.
This makes a total organizational mess when I have dozens of multi cam clips from other cameras that do sort properly by date.
Has anyone else seen this ?

Would someone mind just shooting a few seconds of video in AVCHD, pop out the SD card, and import media into FCPX and check the Creation date please. Any results would be appreciated. (BTW: This has to be v2.0 of the GH4 firmware).
The attached pic are the Get Info on 3 files shot seconds apart. ACVHD, MP4, MOV. Note the creation dates.

How can I change the default video conversion applied when I copy an AVI file from my PC to my Android HTC One M8 phone?

Here's the situation...
I have an Android HTC One M8 phone which I connect via USB cable to my PC, then I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop an AVI file from my PC onto a target folder on the phone. When I would do this after I had first purchased my phone a message box
would come up with the heading "Convert and Copy" and ask me "Do you want to convert <filename> before it's copied to your device?" and give me the options "Yes, convert and copy (recommended)" or "No, just
copy Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device."
If I chose to convert it converted the file to MP4. No problem, that's what I wanted.
The problem I now have is that after doing some work with other video applications a while ago where I was outputting WMV files I now find that the default conversion for the above described copy from PC to Android phone now converts files to WMV.
I simply want it to go back to converting video files copied to my phone as MP4, but I can't seem to find where I can set this!
It appears that the copy/conversion process in Explorer is being handled in the "Portable Devices Shell Extension" dll - WPDSHEXT.DLL
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the default video conversion back to MP4 ???
Thanks

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.
