  • My video clips are just black when i import them to iMovie! (they are mp4) p.s. i have alot of clips

    I keep importing all these video files which are mp4 format and they have thumbnail pics but when i hover over them to preview they turn black and i cant see any thing!?
    do i have the wrong format or what? I have worked with imovie alot and this has ever happend...
    HELP PLEASE!!

    It is possible that the clips are are variant of h.264 that iMovie cannot read.
    I would suggest that you get a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from squared 5 dot com.
    Drag one of your clips into MPeG Streamclip. The File/Export Using QuickTime. Choose either the Apple Intermediate codec or the h.264 codec.  H.264 will give you a smaller file. Apple Intermediate Codec will give you a larger file but smoother editing performance.
    In iMovie, use File/Import Movie to import this new clip.
    If that works, then MPEG Streamclip has a batch mode where you can do all the clips at once.

  • Video clips won't play back after capture

    I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

    It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
    Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
    I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

  • My video clips are rotated left on my harddrive.

    After I synced my video clips and pics to my harddrive my video clips are opening up rotated LEFT. How do I fix / correct the view and how do I prevent this from happeing in the future? Please advise.

    Well, MS WMP does not always honour the metadata that dictates the way the video was shot and should be displayed.
    You need to use some video editing software that can rotate the video for the corrext orientation.

  • How Adobe Premier Pro's linked video clips are ID in Bridge?

    I just finished a FEATURE-FILM in HD comprised of 40 + different Adobe Premier Projects;
    Obviously, at the end you end up with many video clips associated to manyAdobe Premier Projects (i.e.; one video clip could be being used by 17 Adobe Premier Projects), and some video clips are associated to none.
    So this is the thing: I need to delete 5,000 + useless-not associated video clips, however, to make sure that I am not breaking any link, I need to know that they are, or they are not associated with any of my Adobe Premier Projects.
    How does Bridge indicate that a video clip is or is not associated (linked) to an Adobe Premier Project?
    Thank you in advance for your help

    When I''m playing a video clip the computer "locks-up" after a few seconds - what can I do to fix it please?

    The latest is happening with the 12 little video clips sent to me by Apple entitled "Get to know your new iPad"
    They run from 3 to 32 seconds and then "lock-up" on my iMac.

  • New computer, download premiere and there is no playback after importing files.  Any ideas what's happening?

    New computer, download premiere and there is no playback after importing files.  Any ideas what's happening?

    'JohnTSmith' Thanks for the links.  I'll be sure to add more details for future requests!
    The computer is an iMac late 2013
    Processor  3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
    The video file was a .mov file from a Canon 7D.  Essentially I downloaded Adobe Premiere CC 2014, downloaded the update because I tried to open up an older project and then imported one movie file. 
    Playback from all windows didn't work.  But after I tried to change settings in the preferences as 'RoninEdits' suggested but I ended up just searching around and didn't change anything.  I stepped away for a second to check on my cookies in the oven and when I came back press play and the video now works.  Any idea what happen? 
    I'm not sure what happen but I'll continue monitoring this issue.  I'll touch base if I run into the problem again. 
    Thanks for the help everyone. 

  • I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

    I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine.  Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
    I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

    I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

  • How do you add additional video clips to a multicamera sequence after aligning multiple cameras?

    We shoot extended videos (1-2 hours in length)  all the training videos I've seen for CC walk you though aligning the inital cuts and then editing, but they don't say how to add the rest of the clips from that session to each video track.  Any tips?

    Thanks Mark - That worked.  By the way, in case there are any other rookies out there trying to create a multicam sequence like this, make sure that you 1) create the MultiCam Source Sequence and then 2) right click on the Multicam sequence icon in the project window and then 3) choose open in timeline.
    Once the project is open, verify that the camera views are sync'd and then drag the follow on video clips to the end of the appropriate video track.  Once that is done, right click on the Multicam icon again and choose New Sequence from clip and your complete project will be ready to edit.
    Thanks Mark for the quick response.

  • Video clips are missing from iMovie...Yosemite?

    I recently downloaded Yosemite. I had a number of video clips (from Cannon Camera) in iMovie; they are no longer showing up. These clips were of my deceased mom. I've tried finding them in Time Capsule - NOT there. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME.
    Thank you
    Mike

    I actually found a number of my videos in iPhoto and have created a new folder on desktop. I have moved the clips there and backup things up using Time Capsule. I know that many people may think that Time Capsule is antiquated and they're using iCloud. For those of us that don't use iCloud for photos, etc. I think you need to have a folder of items on your desktop in order to be saved in Time Capsule. Just thought I's share my experience and prevent others from troubles.
    I just don't understand why items (that previously existed in iMovie) are no longer appearing due to Yosemite upgrade.

  • I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation.  However, many of the video clips are too long to email.  Is there anyway to compress the video clips and still email them so they can view

    I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation.  However, many of the clips are too long to send.  Is there a way I can compress the clips and still send them via email so they can open and them using Quicken?
    Muzakmn

    It depends on the clips' content, their current format, and how much you would need to compress them, but in most cases and with most email systems, it's difficult to impossible to compress a clip enough to be able to get it through the attachment size limits of most email providers and still have the video be comprehensible. You'll probably need to find a web site or other method where you could post the videos for download by the students.
    You can try compression and trimming, though, and see if you can get the video small enough to email. An attachment often has to be 3MB or less to go through, though it depends entirely on the email systems on both ends. If you look to the right under "more like this" you'll find similar threads on the subject.

  • Video Clip - computer freeze

    What can I do to prevent my computer from freezing up when I begin to run a video clip in iphoto

    i photo 11 - -   9.2.1 (628)
    I am not sure what operating system, and I don't see any place to readily see what the operating system is, but I bought the Mac computer a few months ago
    Every once in a while iphoto says there was an error and that the database has to be repaired, but the repairs do not help.
    I have a 8 gigabite PNY disc or chip (I am not sure what it is called) that goes into my Cannon camera that stores the data. The camera takes still shots and video. I have used it many times before and have downloaded and played pictures and video to iphoto before. This time, I took the disc and inserted it into the slot on the right hand side of the Mac.
    When I ran the video clip at first it ran for a minute or two then froze the whole computer. I rebooted and tried it again with another couple video clips from the same disc and again it played for a minute or less then froze. Then I tried to play another couple video clips from another event that I downloaded a month ago and it also froze up the computer right away. Then I tried to play a video clip off a Safari website and it played fine.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    I am not particularly computer savy, as I am sure you can tell.
    Thanks.

  • I'm having problems with iMovie - some of the video clips are black and can't watch them

  • IMovie 10.0.4 imported video clips are blank and green?

    I've imported video clips successfully from a VHS player & from a few DVD's to iMovie 10.0.4. However, the most recent DVD I've wanted to import doesn't work. The original DVD is in UDF format. I converted it to MP4.4 format, and the first time I played it in iMovie, it worked fine. But the second time I played it, the whole clip was super jittery like it was skipping every 0.5 seconds. Then the third time I played it, the clip was just a blank green screen. I've tried using the most recent version of HandBreak to convert the DVD to a different format that supposedly iMovie can read, but the same thing happens when it's imported into iMovie - just a blank green clip. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks all.

    Same issue I've seen. I have a Sony DCR-TRV30. Had 40 tapes to transfer to iMovie 10.0.6. Had no issue on first 16 tapes then all the sudden I experienced the audio/video timing issue. Video looks good when it is getting imported, audio/video in sync on camera and in preview window on iMovie while importing. Tape finishes and you start to watch import when beginning of tape is in sync and by end it is several seconds out of sync. Tried deleting and installing iMovie again and that didn't help.

  • Video clips keep freezing?

    When I try to view video clips online via email or Facebook the clips keep stopping and starting.
    How can I fix this?

    Most likely the problem is caused by the Flash plugin.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin before reinstalling.
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
