MP4 files in Premiere Element 7 not playing

I have recently bought a Sanyo Xacti Cmaera for my wife and have tried to edit the files in Premiere elements 7.  When I try to open the files I am told they are not supported and that a codec may be missing.  I can open them and play them in Nero and Quicktime player but not in Premiere or in Windows player.  I am running Windows XP home edition SP3 with 4GB Ram.  I have read some of the ideas to try to rectify but no luck.. Any suggestions?

Depending on which exact model you have, it appears that the camera produces AVCHD H.264 files.
First thing that I would do would be to check that you have the latest Apple QuickTime Player.
Next, make sure that your Project Preset is AVCHD. I do not find that this camera shoots in DD 5.1 SS Audio, but if it does, then make sure that you choose THAT part of the Preset too.
Now, it could be that Nero has some of its own CODEC's, like VLC Player. If you do not have the H.264 CODEC, and you should with the latest version of QuickTime, there are two other suppliers of this CODEC, that offer a really good one: Lead and MainConcept. When the Apple H.264 has not done a good job, many folk go with the MainConcept H.264. Some others have had better luck with the Lead version.
Now, how are you getting these files into PrE. For these, you will probably be copying the files over to your computer's HDD, and then using Get Media from that location.
Good luck, and maybe someone knows this camera (please state the exact model), and can offer more than I can, based on the info that I got from the Sanyo site.

  • The Slideshow mp4 file created in Lightroom does not play on an iPad

    If I take a collection of images and create a sideshow in Lightroom 4 and export it as a mp4 file  using the 720p preset and put it at a website, the file works fine with various Windows computers and android devices but does not play in an iPad.  If I take that same mp4 file and run it through Adobe Premier Elements 12 to produce a new  720p mp4 file, that mp4 file plays fine in the iPad.
    Anyone know the reason for this and how to create a 720p file that will play in the iPad in LIghtroom?

  • Jerky playback of rendered mp4 files in Premiere Elements 10

    I am editing GoPro Hero 3+ MP4 files in PE10 and exporting to AVCHD MP4 (H264 1920x1080p 30) but the resulting file does not play smoothly, almost like it is missing or skipping a frame at regular intervals.  When rendered to M2T (H264 1920x1080i 30) or other AVCHD formats the playback is smooth.  Why can't I export to the same format as the MP4 source files?  FYI, I'm using PE10 on a Win 7, 64 PC with i7 and 16gb ram, and program files on a SSD separate from the HDD containing video files.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Attached is a screen shot of the general preferences.
    When I imported the first GoPro MP4 file into the time line, PE10 gave me a message that the project settings did not match the source file, and asked me if I wanted it to change the settings, which I let it do. 

  • AVI file imports into Premiere Elements but not Premiere Pro CS5.5

    I tried to import an avi file into Premiere Pro 5.5, only to get the message: "Unsupported format or damaged file." The weird thing is, I have no problem importing the same file into Premiere Elements 1.0 and Premiere Elements 3.0. From the message boards, I somewhat understand that avi is a container and that there are actually 1000s of different formats within that "avi" label. Anyone know why PE is more capable than Pro on this task? Any solutions?

    Well... what is inside that AVI file?

  • Unable to import .mp4/.ts into Premiere Elements 3.0

    I've captured footage from my PlayStation 3 using this device: http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/live_gamer_portable
    The device saves the footage in a .ts file.
    I've tried to get information on the file using a program. If there's a better way to do it, please let me know:
    When I try to import the file into Premiere Elements 3.0, I get an error message: "File format not supported/One of the necessary components may not have been installed."
    I've converted the file into an mp4 format with this program: http://ftp2.avermedia.com/C875/C875_utility_v1.0.0.9_20131029.zip
    Information on the file:
    But this did not solve the problem.
    Ideally, I would like to avoid converting the video file, if that would take up a lot of time. If I can just upgrade Premiere Elements, that would be the most ideal solution.
    Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

    I am able to import a .ts file into Premiere Elements 10, 11, and 12 Windows 7 64 bit.
    But, not so, for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9.
    And, the reason why your .mp4 conversion did not work would be in accord with the fact that you used AVCHD as the video compression, and AVCHD video compression was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7.
    If you do decide to move to version 12, please note that there is a dramatic difference in workspace between 3 and 12. So, go the free tryout of 12 before any purchase.
    You could try to convert the .ts to H.264.mp4 and not AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264).mp4 and see if that works for you.

  • How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
    I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's  new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

  • MP4 in Adobe Premiere Element

    The file has been converted from VRO to MP4 with VLC.

    Hi, A.T.Romano,
    I tried changing the extension name from .ROV to .mpg and it works. It’s marvelous. Thank you very much for your expertise…
    The videos relates to 30 years of my children. Now I’m in a position to make a film with APE.

    Thanks for the update.
    If you are dealing with files with a ROV file extension instead of the VRO file extension, then I need to reconsider my reply which was specific
    for VRO.
    I am heading online to see what I can find out about ROV and the Sony DVD Player/Video Cassette Recorder SLV-D 990P.

    how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

    LGSh
    Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
    How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
    After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
    More later.
    Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • Can't Import .avi xvid file with Premiere Elements 11

    I just purchased Premiere 11, and it won't import an .avi xvid file. The codec is installed as reported by G-Spot. And the file imports to Win Movie Maker just fine. Any known problems here?
    Thanks

    I have used Premiere Elements 11 for a few years and never had any problems with codecs, it ran .avi files fine, but then my hard drive started sending failure eminent warnings so I saved everything I could (for some reason I was never able to save a backup with my old system), I got a new hard drive, loaded a clean new Windows 7 install and built my system from there.
    When I got to the Premiere Elements 11 and used it I noticed it came up with the "no codec for .avi" message that I had never seen before and would not play the same .avi movies that I had played with it hundreds of times before.
    I was a little baffled so I went back and installed my old Premiere Elements 8 that I used to use and same codec message came up.
    I remembered that I had some other video players installed on my old system so I went back and installed the old players one by one.
    1. Cyberlink PowerDVD from the original Dell install didn't fix the codec problem.....
    2. I had the "REAL" player on my old system so I installed it next and it didn't fix the codec problem....(The new "REAL" player live is a little to aggressive for me so I uninstalled it when it didn't fix my problem)
    3. I had Quicktime installed so I installed it again and BINGO, my Premiere Elements 11 now plays .avi files like it used to.
    I won't guarantee it will work for everyone but the basic Quicktime player is free so it won't hurt to try it (And it definitely worked for me)

    This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one.  Then save the file.  If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

  • How to import pdf files in Premiere Elements 8

    Hello,
    I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf files in premiere elements 8, becouse if I try to import it in "project" it gives me an error saying "this type of file is not supported".
    Thank you
    Sebastian

    Unfortunalty it's not working for me yet. If I try to import the PDF (single page)  into the project, the progress bar reach 100% but then says: "the file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed". I have Acrobat Reader 9.3 installed too.
    I've uploaded one of the PDF's that I want to use if you want to test it yourself:
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YB7NT4QR
    One of my coworkers says that I may need Adobe Bridge to do so, is that correct? Otherwise a simple "pdf to jpg" (or other image formats) could solve the problem.
    Thanks for your support.

  • Adobe premiere elements 9 not editing

    This is my second attempt to post (my last one a little while ago didn't appear).
    I have bought the above package mainly to edit some club videos.  It is driving me mad.
    I have a Sony Viao
    Vista Home Premium
    Service pack 2
    Intel Core DUO CPU
    2.00 GB Ram
    32-bit
    I have imported a video from my comcorder to the PC via ION EZ Converter.  The video is stored as a .mpg file.
    When I open up organiser the thumbnail is there.
    The first time I opened organiser I somehow managed to drag the video to the left side of the screen and got a timeline but when I started it up I got sound but no picture.  However, now when I open up organiser and go into EDIT, aand try to drag across I get automatically sent into video effects and can't go back!
    I was told that the problem may be due to incorrect codecs and I have downloaded K-LITE MEGA Codec but that doesn't seem to have helped.
    Before I did this I also got a message in elements
    "we have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance please update your display driver.
    Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation - GeForce 8400M G7/PCI/SSE2 2.1.1"

  • Importing project files into Premiere Elements 7

    I have created a new project, imported several video clips and then created a video. It was only at the point of creating the video that I reliased that I had not created the project with the correct settings.
    Although the video looked fine in the editing window, the final video had black bars at the sides, and above above and below the video, and fairly think black bars. I've tried exporting as different formats, and changing the aspect ratio, but this has not helped. I've attached a jpeg of what the video looks like in Quicktime.
    Other video editing software I have used, has the ability to change the project settings after it has been created, and give a warning to the user about possible problems they may encounter by doing so.
    This does not appear to be the case with Adobe Premiere Elements 7, and it is extremely frustrating!!
    One thing which appears to be possible with Premiere Pro, and was also available on other editing software I have used, is the ability to import projects.
    So... does anyone know if it is possible to import a Premiere Elements 7 project file into Premiere Elements 7? The aim here is to create a project with the correct settings, and then import the existing project file into the timeline.
    I've tried hacking the project file, which has improved the video slightly, but still not what I was expecting.
    Cheers
    Paul

    This problem should have been picked up by Adobe's test analyst during testing of the product.
    I am sorry, but I am not following you on this. There are Presets to match many media types. I am not at all sure how Adobe could anticipate that a user would choose the wrong one.
    As I said, PrPro CS4 will both allow you to Import your .PREL (with the caveats mentioned), and work on the Project with Sequence settings to match. Unfortunately, PrE is a much less sophisticated and expensive program, than is PrPro CS4.
    I'd be happy to Import your file, in PrPro with the proper Presets, but the rub would be that PrE cannot Open .PRPROJ files, so you still could not edit it.
    Sorry, but the first rule of any NLE is to establish Presets that match one's Assets. PrPro CS4 (not before that version) allows one to cover their mistakes a bit, but there is still some work getting the improperly set Sequence's material into a new, properly set Sequence.
    If you have access to PrPro CS4, and can finish your Project there, that would be the best. Next would be to create a New Project with the proper Presets and chalk up the lost time as a learning experience.
    Sorry ot bear the bad news.
    Good luck,

  • How do i get flv files in premiere elements

    how can i get the premiere elements to use flv. files?

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running?
    In the absence of that information, the following is a generalized no can do answer.
    Although files with flv file extensions can be exported from Premiere Elements, you cannot import flv files into Premiere Elements.
    There used to be a time when earlier versions could use a Moyea plug-in to force Premiere Elements to accept flv files.
    how to edit .flv files
    Your flv are going to have to be converted into another format before import into Premiere Elements if you want to use Premiere Elements as your video editor.

    The link is provided for informational rather than promotional reason. I have not used it, but I have seen reports that it is free and works well for flv to avi.
