Mov or h.264/AVC format - Casio Exilim EX-F1

Does anyone have any experience with the new EX-F1? I'm currently thinking of buying this camera since it has the FULLHD movie functionality. The EX-F1 saves the film in the mov-format. I heard different rumors if I can import these films and this format also with Final Cut Express and can cut / edit them. Is there anyone who can give me som ekind of feedback or suggestions?
Thanks and regards

To all intents and purposes FCP is the same as FCE.
1080i as far as I know is not a format, maybe someone with more knowledge can clarify the point.
The problem is that many people think that if a camera shoots "digital video", its output should be editable in a digital video editing application.
Unfortunately there are numerous digital video formats and most of them are not compatible.
FCE/FCP edit DV, which stands for Digital Video, but is not to be confused with digital video using small letters.
DV is a specific format of digital video, not to be confused with all the other versions of digital video like the various flavours of MPEG etc.
It's a bit like car engines. All engines (except Wankels) have pistons, but you can't put Ford pistons in a Toyota engine etc. You have to use the correct parts for the particular car.
So FCE/FCP won't (easily) edit any old type of digital video.

  • How to play MPEG 4 (h.264 / AVC) videos that were encoded for the PSP

    Hello,
    I am trying to play a video in MPEG 4 (h.264 / AVC) format (file extension .mp4) that was encoded to play on the Sony PlayStationPortable (480x272) via QuickTime. The video plays perfectly via VideoLAN, mplayer or the PSP, but QuickTime only opens a black screen without any error message.
    I am using the most current version of QuickTime on WindowsXP or Windows Vista. I have the same problem on either system.
    Can anybody tell me how to resolve that problem? I do not want to reencode the videos, though.

    QuickTimeKirk,
    My goal is to create a looping animation for playback on an iPod. Should be easy right? Not with the QT!
    I did the following:
    1) Render a bunch of frames destined for looping.
    2) Convert them to an uncompresses ".avi" file.
    3) Open the ".avi" file in QT Pro.
    4) Click "Loop"
    5) Play movie. It loops nicely.
    6) Click "Export" and select "Movie to QuickTime Movie"
    7) Click "Save"
    When I play the saved ".mov" file (You said QT retains the metadate requiring looping) IT DOES NOT LOOP!
    To recap: This is a Quicktime movie. I selected looping when I created the bloody thing.
    It
    does
    not
    loop.
    This *****.
    This is REALLY, REALLY, ANNOYING! *** is going on with this QT Pro crap? I simply want to loop the movie. Is that really asking too much? I don't think so.
    Can someone, anyone, please, please, tell me how to force the movie to loop on launch. Forcing an iPod user to muck about and select looping (can they even do that?) is not an option. Period.
    Please help me,
    Doug

  • H.264 (MP4) format

    The website smugmug converts movies to  h.264 (MP4) format when you upload them.
    Does Premiere handle that type of file well

    Premiere has no trouble converting to mp4, it has several ready made presets for mp4 e.g for YouTube.
    Just look up the supported export formats in the Help.

  • HD format from Casios Exilim F1

    Anyone who knows if there is solution (maybee a plugin ?)
    so CS4 can handle the HD format (the highest) from Casios
    Exilim F1 camera. Right now I get a green screen when importing it(MOV format, H.264/AVC, IMA-ADPCM (stereo)).

    I have the same problem. Video exported from FCE in 1080 .mov is very very poor quality. I have tried every export setting combination with no success. The property inspector says that it is 1080 resolution.
    I can very easily export excellent quality 1080 .mov files, using the same source video, with iMovie. The two applications use the same export GUI.
    The video was shot on a Canon 7D, H.264, 1920 x 1080, Millions Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz.

  • Can hear but not see movies from my Casio Exilim 7.2

    Movies shot on my Casio Exilim 7.2 mega pixel camera open up in QuickTime, but I can only hear them, not see them. The files from the camera are .AVI files if that helps. Wondering if I am missing something. I went to the 3rd party software page, but either didn't see what I needed or didn't understand what I needed to download to make it work. I thought it was supposed to "just work." I'm using a brand new Macbook Pro core 2, 10.4.8
    Thanks for any help.

    The inventors and creators of the AVI "container" (Micro$oft) abandoned the file format many years ago. They have moved on to WMP formats and no longer support AVI. They must know something!
    You may be better served by exporting them to QuickTime file formats using QuickTime Pro or other third party conversion software.
    Personally I wish AVI would just die (as intended by the owners) and disappear as a file container.

  • Cant watch movies from Casio Exilim Z750 Digital Camera

  • Issue with H.264/AVC export

    I am a beginner with Adobe Premiere so please excuse me if this is a naive question and terminology.
    The first thing I tried to achieve with Premiere is to convert/compress videos that I capture by my camera. I have been doing this for long long time using NCH Prism Video Converter and It does a good job. It uses AVI container with H.264 codec and compresses a lot while you don't feel much in quality loss. I have been trying to export a video to the same level of compression with kind of similar quality with Premiere, but I haven't yet been successful. The exported files are always larger and lower in quality. I have uploaded the original captured video as well as samples of the videos compressed by Prism and Premiere on my dropbox:
    Original (.mov 131.72 MB): https://db.tt/Qp7TUkPt 
    Prism (.AVI 18.94 MB): https://db.tt/sREwmMdD
    Premiere (.MP4 20.67 MB): https://db.tt/fhmiRUNk
    What I'd like to find is the right format in Premiere to get pretty similar quality&size as I get with Prism. As you can see in the above videos, the Premiere one is larger and more noisy (pixels are distorted especially when the camera is moving and you can see noises that cause pixels to seem jumpy/jaggy - sorry I don't know the exact name of this kind of noise).
    I tried MediaInfo to see what codec Prism is exactly using. It seems that it is using AVC, but I have no idea on how I can install/use AVC codec in Premiere. Below you can find the detailed information about the codec/format that Prism uses.
    I really appreciate any suggestion.

  • Casio Exilim Photos Not Imported :(

    Hi and tnxs for reading.
    I have decided to import all my photos in iPhoto instead of referencing them but I had the bad surprise that I cannot import all my AVI clips made with a Casio Exilim Camera. They are read on my quicktime easily... I have even Perian installed, and they can be read in iPhoto if referenced... however cannot be imported...
    Any advice??
    Tnxs

    Open the avi file in Quicktime Player and bring up the Moive Inspector window to see what the format is.
    Then do the same with the new file you saved and see what the differences are.  If you have any movie clips that do import and run in your library check those also.

  • H.264/AVC Mac issue

    Hello. I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 to make MP4s on a Mac. In the past, my Quicktime video Inspector would say the format of my MP4 was H.264. It would play on any computer.
    Recently, AME has begun creating MP4s that say the format is AVC, not H.264.
    Now when a Windows user loads the video, it asks them to activate Quicktime. It used to just play automatically in Windows Media Player.
    I can't find a setting or preference anywhere in AME to change that.
    Can anyone give me some advice? I realize that H.264 and AVC are basically the same thing, but I don't like my Windows users to have this issue.

    @DanFCarr may have a different situation, but for me I am actually using Dataton Watchout, which will support native playback of H.264-format MP4's, but only non-native, non-optimized decoding of AVC-format MP4's, and only with the right version of Quicktime and codecs installed.  Wondering how to get AME to create an MP4 file with "H.264 Format" rather than "AVC Coding" Format (which seems like it may be related to H.264 Media Subtype AVC1?)

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • I would like to transfer movies from my Mac (avi format) to ipad2 which I think supports MP4 files. How do I transfer.

    I would like to transfer movies from my Mac (avi format) to ipad2 which I think supports MP4 files. How do I transfer. There are so many softwares available on the web but none that can be downloaded on to the iMAC.
    Please Help

    iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;

    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • Can't import video into IMovie 09 from Casio Exilim camera

    I am new to mac and in the process of moving all my old files including many years of photos and video from my old pc life. The move has been painless up until I tried to finally make use of the old videos and create something in IMovie. I was really pumped up after watching the tutorial only to hit a brick wall when I realized that it would not be so easy after all.
    So the problem is this: The video was shot with a Casio Exilim digital camera. The imported into IPhoto with my other pictures. When I click on the video in IPhoto, QuickTime opens and the video plays beautifully with full audio. The problem comes when I try to open that same video in IMovie 09. There is no video recognized. I have found from countless hours searching other threads that the .avi files needed to be converted. I have tried several and the only one I have had any luck with is MPEG Streamclip. I am able to convert the video, but there is no audio.
    I am hoping for a simple solution.

    In my continued search I have a solution to my problem and thought I would share it. If you search for a product called "Video Converter for Mac" it solves the problem. It will cost you $35, but that is much less expensive than a new camera.

  • Problems to connect Casio Exilim EX-Z600

    Hello,
    I would be very thankful if someone could help me with my problem:
    until some days ago, I never had problems to connect my Casio Exilim EX-Z600 via USB with iPhoto 5.
    Today I tried several times (incl. restarting my ibook), but it still doesn't work...
    What makes me wonder is, that I can't find the camera in the list of compatible cameras with Mac OS X (10.4.10).
    I am confused. I connected the camera via USB for - I can't say how many times. In this way I loaded thousands of pictures in iPhoto...
    Does anybody have an idea?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Jesse,
    Great Camera isn't it ?
    Unfortunately I can't help with the Mac connection, as I'm with the 'dark side' i.e. using a PC - lol, however I can point you to some places that I found very helpful for all things EX-Z750 related.
    Firstly after charging your camera fully, you should perform a Firmare update from Version 1.00 to 1.01. This corrects over-saturation in colour, a whining noise on HQ movies and the odd focus problem. Follow this Link to Casio's site, enter the Serial number under the camera (but don't include the letter at the end or it'll never download - took me hrs to work that one out)
    http://world.casio.com/qv/download/en/?
    Secondly, head over to Digital Photographer Review:
    http://www.dpreview.com/reviews
    and head into the Casio Forums, the answers to everything about your new camera will be in there, use the search for easier access.
    In the end I gave up on the iPod, bought an external 'USB to go' casing for a laptop drive for photo storage ! And bought an MP3 player that's not named after a fruit (sacriledge I know). 1 day later and I find that the Casio does work with the iPod photo (darnit!)
    Anyway, hope you enjoy the camera, let me know how you get on.
    Cheers,
    Dave.
