Need codec for footage from Sony EX1 for edit in Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0; Help

I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 to try and edit Sony EX1 film footage transfered to my external hardrive. When I try and import the film footage, I receive and error message reading "codec missing or unavailable".
Can you please provide assistance in finding the needed codec?

First, using under $100 consumer level software to try and edit video from a Pro http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-PMWEX1R/?XID=O:BPSEG_sony%20ex1:Google_PVPA_MOD_XDCAM EX1R_p_ad3 camera may not work

What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Windows 8.1 64 bit? For now I will assume Premiere Elements 12 in a NTSC set up.
Your iPhone 5s video is expected to be 1080p @ 30 progressive frames per second? Do you confirm that? Because of the source of your video, it is highly likely that you are dealing with a variable frame rate.
Please give the following a try to see if you then have an "importable" product to take into Premiere Elements presumed 12/12.1.
Download and install the free HandBrake program.
http://handbrake.fr/
Import your video file into the program.
Make sure you browse to and set Destination (suggested Desktop location)
Go to the Video Tab and set
Video codec = H.264 (x264)
Frame Rate = 29.97
put a dot next to Constant for the Frame Rate
Click on the Start at the top left of the workspace
Wait for the "Queue Finished" to appear in the progress bar at the bottom left of the workspace.
Then see if this H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second file can be imported into Premiere Elements 12 project with a manually set project preset of NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DLSR 1080p30@ 29.97.
Details for setting manual project preset can be found in

The details that I have posted in this reply are customized for Premiere Elements and should work fine for you.
We will be watching for your results.

How do you import "MVI_ file # .THM" from "Canon Powershot SX1 IS" into Adobe Premiere Elements

When I tried to import a MVI_ "file #" .THM file from a "Canon Powershot SX1 IS" camera into Adobe Premiere Elements, I received the following message: "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed."
How do I resolve this issue?
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.
John

Steve,
Thanks for your help. You are correct that there is another file with the same name without the ".THM" extension.
What I said was incorrect. I was trying to import the file without the ".THM" extension and getting the afore mentioned message.
However, I just discovered that this MVI_ file is a "Quick Time Movie" format not an "avi" format.
Do I need to convert this format or does it have something to do with a codec?
Thanks,
John

How to fix audio of a video captured from DV output of camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements 8?

Hello,
I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 8 about one week ago. I installed it and everything seem to work well in my first project. I am new at editing videos but I was succesful in testing it by loading an existing video file in avi format from my computer and then doing some very basic editing (I splitted 2 scenes and added a title).
After my first succesful project (described above) I started a brand new project. Here, I want to capture a one hour video from the dv output of a video camera. So I connected the camera to the PC and then started adobe elements 8. Before starting the capture I only checked the boxes that said "capture video" and "capture audio" (the other 2 boxes that said download to timeline and autoanalyze were left unchecked). After that I started the capture process.
After the video capture was completed, a small window opened at the bottom saying that a PEAK FILE was being generated. After the peak file generation finished, I looked at the captured video. The video looked perfect. However the audio of the video was too fast. By this, I mean that the voices of the people in the movie were like they were speaking at more than twice the normal speed. Or to explain it in a different way, they sounded like the chipmunks.
So now I come to the question of this thread I started. Is there a way that I can fix the audio part of the video I captured? I will appreciate any help on this. Below I listed a few additional details in case this is needed.
Thanks,
ronel_8
PS. Here are some more details about my system:
1) Operating System: Windows XP
2) I am capturing the video on an external drive with 40 GB of available space. The external drive is connected to a PC via a USB connection.
3) Computer CPU: 2.4 GHZ
4) Computer RAM: 1.25 GB
5) Video tape is about one hour long.

Hello Bill and Steve,
Your responses are very helpful. Although I was not able to fix the problem yet I do seem to think from what you both say that my system may be too slow to capture the one hour video. In any case I will copy below more details about the system as you requested:
1) Results from running Gspot:
The audio section of the Gspot window was blank. That is, no information was there. The File and Container sections say:
File Size: 12.6 GB
Note: 7.63 GB unneeded bytes at the end of the file
DV Type1 AVI
2) I did run the Gspot on another good avi file (captured to the PC with same camcorder) and says:
Codec PCM Audio
32kHz 1024 kb/s tot (2 chnls).
I suppose these are the audio settings from the camera.
3) Yes, I am capturing video from a miniDV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U).
4) I did not defragment the external drive prior to capturing the video with the audi problem. So I will give that I try and see if it solves the problem.
5) The external drive I am using is formatted to NTFS.
6) The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, CPU: 2.4 GHZ, RAM: 1.25 GB
7) HDD Size=74GB and 11 GB of free space. But I am downloading video to external drive that has 60 GB free space.
One last piece of information that may be useful. If I open the AVI file (that I captured with Adobe Premiere Elements) with Windows Media Player, the audi sounds good. However if I open it with Adobe it has the problem I mentioned in my previous e-mail.
I'll aprreciate any further hints.
Thanks again,
ronel_8

Import video from CANON LEGRIA HF R18 into adobe premiere elements

Hallo,
I have a MAC and I don't know how I have to set the project to import videos from my camera.
Thanks

jazzandogospelsinger64
As a first pass at this I would transfer the video from the camera to the computer hard drive and from there import that into Premiere Elements 10 Mac with Premiere Elements 10 Mac Get Media/Files and Folder. Under the circumstances your Premiere Elements 10 will perform as a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the Mac 64 bit with the limitations of 32 bit. I am an Elements Windows user, but the principles and suggestions that I am about to make should be applicable to your situation. I have gone off track with any Mac specific details be sure to say so. The 32 bit business means that Premiere Elements 10 Mac will not be able to take advantage of all the 64 bit resources as would be the case if you had Premiere Elements 11 Mac running in a Mac 64 bit operating system.
Your Canon HF-R18 FXP would be highest quality 1920 x 1080 with a bitrate of 17 Mbps (megabits per second). I need to confirm if you are recording interlaced video 1920 x 1080 (50i) or 1920 x 1080 p25 (in the progressive mode). From what I have read your audio is Dolby Digital Stereo.
If 1920 x 1080 (50i, aka 25 interlaced frames per second), then use the Premiere Elements 10 project preset = PAL/AVCHD/Full HD1080i25.
If 1920 x 1080 (25p, 25 progressive frames per second), then use the Premiere Elements 10 project preset = PAL/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p25.
In either circumstance, when you drag the file from the Media area to the Timeline, do you see a colored line over that content on the Timeline? You should not be seeing a colored line over this content if we have the correct project preset selected. But remember that, each time after you edit that video, it is normal for a red line to appear over it. That is the program telling you that you need to render the Timeline content, one way by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to get the best possible preview. When the rendering is complete, the red line will turn green. Thereafter, only a red/green indicator system (with all its implications) will exist for letting you know if the program thinks that you are seeing the best possible preview. No more non colored line choice, just red (need) and green (not needed). When you are in the no colored line or green situation, pressing the Enter key will just get you playback of the file in the monitor - no rendering available.
See what that looks like on the Timeline at playback there.
Let us start there and be ready for the next phase "How do I want to export that Timeline?" with all the details associated with that phase to get the best results.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

C. Raio
We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

When you do use Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder, I think... I don't have a Mac... and you did not say) to copy the files from the camera to your hard drive, do as it says in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1015001?tstart=0 so you don't lose the metadata

Importing footage from sony HDR-SR12 to External for later use in imovie?

Hi all, I have a question, I would like to save my movie footage which is on my sony HDR-SR12 to a external drive(G Raid1TB) so I can view and also import clips to imovie for making movie's later. I have partitioned the Ext HD 150gb for photos and 781gb for movie footage. Just out of curiosity I mounted my camera and pressed get info and the format on the sony camera is MS-Dos(fat32) does this matter at all? Also which is the best way or how do I import the footage from sony hdr-sr12 to the external Hd. I have never done this before so your help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to mess up.
Thank You
Jess

I should have mentioned, it is a good idea to make an archive copy of your AVCHD footage before importing. You should be able to do this from the FILE menu in iMovie. This will preserve the AVCHD files exactly as they were on the camera.
When you import, you convert the AVCHD files (which are highly compressed) into Apple Intermediate Codec, which is suitable for editing.
If you want to make sure that your archive copy is working properly, you can import from your archive copy, rather than importing directly from the camera. This is a good way to make sure you have a good archive copy before erasing the video on the camera.

Outputting standard definition from Sony ex1

I'm triyng to outputting standard definition from Sony ex1 clips as explained in this article http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/ex1_sd_outputyoung.html.
I got some motion files in the hd timeline. When I paste this file on the sd timeline the scale is totally different from the original.
Any ideas on what happens?

We are working with Final Cut 5 and DVCProHD material... (which, btw, is a good codec to use for FCP 4.5)
Downcoverting a finished product for SD DVD works really good in Compressor 2. After editing in FCP, I find it best to export as Self contained QT of your project. Then importing that into Compressor... and use the Compressor Preset for the SD MPEG-2 Compression for delivery on DVD. It has worked great!
But, another way you could try.. is once you have a finished product edited in FCP.... Print to render it, print it to Video on your HDV camera...
Use the Camera to Playback and recapture the the downconverted video onto the computer. You may find the downcoversion a bit better this way.
Good luck, hope this helps

Is the purchased Premiere Elements 12 still in its sealed packaging?
If you have not already, I would suggest that you install Premiere Elements 12 from the purchased installation disc
and evaluate its performance in your computer environment.
a. Does the program fail to install?
b. Do you get Display Card errors?
If you are worried about not being able to return 12 once the package is opened, then you can try the following
a. Download the Premiere Elements 12 tryout files from the following web site and evaluate it as a tryout (full
featured).
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
Read and carry out carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the web page to avoid Access Denied message.
b. If the tryout performs well for you, then delete the tryout and install your purchased version with the purchased
serial number included on the packaging.
....other possibilities, but just the above for now.

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.

Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

Hi,
My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

clue
Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
Details...
The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.
