Only half of my video files import

I have been trying to import some video files which are around 4 GB and a .avi file, yet only half of the video imports. The first half runs fine, yet as you can see in the image below, the last two boxes just show black and also has no audio. The files play fine in quicktime, so I'm curious what the problem is. Any ideas?

Did you check in the finder how the drive is formatted? Use get info as was asked earlier in the thread.
Once again, AVI is not supported in FCP. The material needs to be converted. It's displaying an odd icon that you don't normally see attached to a clip, which may be due to the type of media this is. Full information about the media specs would be useful to know. Bottom line though you need to convert this before TOU bring it into FCP.

Only half of the audio gets imported in Composition!!!

I use After Affects CS6. I have 8 videos. I import them to my Project and then import them all in one composition. Everything is fine: BUT one of the videos, has only half the sound. On top left, I see the green wave sign is full but as soon as I import it next to the other videos in the Composition, only half of the sound gets imported. I check the Audio in the composition for this video and can also see the green wave in half way through.
I tried a new comporistion for this particular video, the same thing. I even closed everything down, open a very brand new project but still the same.
No effect or anything is used. Again, all the 8 videos are being treated 100% indenticall. It is just this one that although the audio gets imported all in full in the Project but as soon as it is imported to the Composition, half of the sound gets disppeared.
Please help me. I have to deliver this project to my customer :(((

The videos come from my Camcorder and in MTS format.
Yes. It opens fine in Premiere and other places. Even in After Effects, It imports all fine in the Project. The green waving audio sign is there to see and all fine. But as soon as I import it to the Composition, only half od the audio gets importet.
Well, like I said, EVERYTHING is 100% the same amoung all these 8 videos. They were shot at the same day, same everything. All the other 7 work just they way they should. Its just THIS one with this issue.
I just even un-installed the AE and re-installed it but still the same. New project, new composition, .. THIS video gets only half audio when in Composition.

MPG video file importing as audio HELP!!!

MPG video file importing as audio HELP!!!
I am using Premiere pro CS5 trial version. The videos I have are in .mpg format and play fine in other programs. When I import them into Premiere they are importing as audio files.
I have a week to get this project done for uni and Im freaking out! It worked on the uni computer before christmas but isnt working here, its the same program and same operating system (windows 7).
What am I doing wrong!!!?

You are doing nothing wrong. The trial version does not support MPEG. The full-paid version has no such limitations, and also comes with a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a refund.
The limitations of the trial version are HERE.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Video file import problem

I just bought flip4mac for importing asf video files into Soundtrack Pro. I can import them into Quicktime and play them fine but when I try to import them into Soundtrack Pro, a WMV importing progress bar comes up but when it is finished, there is no video file loaded, just blank as if I had imported nothing. Does anyone know if Soundtrack Pro is supported by flip4mac? Could anyone tell me how I can get this to work, or alternatively what is the best way to import or convert asf files? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Thanks for that jimlongo. I don't have QuickTime Pro, only the player. However, the idea of Flip4mac is to be able to import these kind of formats directly into editing software. In fact, I did just succeed in importing a shorter asf video clip (45 secs). Perhaps it was the length of the other files? They were well over an hour in length, full movies really. It says in the STP manual that movies can be up to 4 hours in length but is there something I need to set up in order for it to accept longer videos? Apologies for the newbie questions but I am only getting started with the programme having been a Logic user for many years.

Only half of my RAW files can be read

So I got a card from our photographer and half of the NEF files open fine will the other half are giving me an error saying that my version of Photoshop does not support that camera. Which makes no sense. It's from the same camera. You guys have any idea what happend or what I could do to recover those files?
I am running Photoshop 5.1 Extended v12.1 x64 on a Mac running 10.6.8 with Camera Raw plug-in v6.7.0.339 and finally all the photos were shot on a Nikon D800. Thanks!

The file on dropbox is rejected by the current ACR 8.3 and Lightroom 5.3.
The utility that would fix NikonTransfer or ViewNX corruption rejects this file a being a non-standard format.
I can use other utilities to extract the entire sensor data as a TIF so I don't think the data, itself, is corrupted.
The D800 can shoot FX mode using full-frame lenses and DX mode shooting with crop-frame lenses. Googling, I can't find anything about either of these modes not being supported by LR.
The D800 can shoot regular raw photos with a 3:2 aspect ratio and video-still raw photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
A blurb on Adobe's website says the initial release of LR 4 (compatible with CS6 and ACR 7) can read 3:2 aspect ratio files but the 16:9 aspect ratio files are not supported until LR 4.1, which would be equivalent to the raw engine in CS6/ACR 7.1.
So that would mean you have no chance on CS5.x/ACR 6.7 but suggests later versions of LR and ACR would read it, starting with LR 4.1 and ACR 7.1; however, it does not work in the most current versions of LR 5, and seems to cause LR 4.3 and LR 4.4 to abort with a program error, so something is not right.
The file on dropbox that doesn't read into Adobe products is 4800x2704. This means it is both a DX-crop file and 16:9 video-still aspect-ratio file. Apparently while Adobe can read DX-crop files and 16:9 video-still files, Adobe products don't seem to work on a combination of both of those conditions.
Or maybe there is some slight corruption, although I'd expect only a few of your files to be unreadable if it was actually corruption, but if its half then probably all the files that are video stills with a DX lens are unreadable.
When I try to open the file in Raw Therapee (a free raw converter) it complains about a few fields being unknown but does open the file and will allow adjustments. It may also not quite know what to do with DX-crop video-stills but it is more forgiving than Adobe products.
I have been unable to find a webpage at Adobe or elsewhere that says it will not read DX-crop video stills, but this is my working assumption.
Do you have access to pay-for (or free) Nikon raw-conversion software that is new enough to understand D800 images that could be used to at least create TIF files from these DX-video-stills so you could do further processing in LR?
Finally you might upload another couple of these files to dropbox.com in case something is indeed corrupted with the one example you put there, and others would work fine in newer Adobe products.

Video Files Import into an IMAC

Can someone lend me their advice ...
I am using a PC and creating a POWERPOINT show ... I have different tools to take this show to convert it into a video file (like MP4 etc).
What Ia m trying to do - is to merge a video file and pictures - the pictures to follow the movie - and throughout this "show" - one MP3 file will be played.
So the questions is - importing a video file into IPHOTO - is this possible - and if so - what is the best file type to convert the PowerPoint into???
Once I am able to create this show - then the plan is to put it into IMOVIE - and cut a DVD ...
Any suggestions - input - ideas - would be greatly appreciated!

Great Guys! Thanks for the advice!
I like using PowerPoint for it's ability to have total control on objects like text and graphics on 1 slide - in a show. Timed to music - it can produce some dramatic affects. I ALSO like the easy ability to take a MP# file -and if I have let's say - 33 pictures - it automatically splits the song equally - to each picture of the show, enabling an easy finish.
What I would LIKE to do - is to use PowerPoint transitioning affects on about the first 7 slides (pictures) - then - take that out as a video file - PULL IT into IPHOTO - then - add the remaining pictures to complete the show - ALL timed to one MP3 file.
Basically - I have other programs that can convert (export) the Powerpoint show (file) to any video output - I just need to know which one would work with IPHOTO. Adding these into IMOVIE - enables me then to cut a DVD, which then can be duped ...
Make sense???
I SO appreciate your expertise and suggestions as to the file types to use - or anything else you would recommend! THANK YOU!
Again - its the file types that I am seeking advice - that will work with IPHOTO!

Too much rendering of video files imported from iMovie

I am new to mac so maybe someone can help me out. I imported all my video to my hard drive from iMovie. When I use these files on FCE it always has to render, there is no sound. Just by putting a video clip on the timeline with no effects or anything, it always has to render and there is no sound. When i import video files from another hard drive imported from a different program and i drop it to the timeline, it doesnt have to render and i do hear the sound. How can i fix this?

Hello and welcome to the forum
Listen to Tom; he's one of the chief gurus and most frequent contributors to this forum! Here's how to export your iMovie footage so you can easily use it in FCE:
In iMovie, select Share>QuickTime and choose Expert Settings. On the next screen select Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie and click the Options button. In the resulting Movie Settings window, select DV/DVCPRO-NTSC for video compression and Linear PCM Stereo @48kHz for Sound Settings. Uncheck the Prepare for Internet Streaming box.
Realize that you'll be making an entirely new movie file, around 13GB per hour of standard def footage. Hope you have a big honker of a hard drive!
Good luck!

Lightroom 4 and 4.1beta video file import error/failure

Findin that Lightroom 4 and 4.1 are not importing video/movie files. Without exception every attempt made has resulted in an error.
In many cases just the first frame gets imported and converted to a low grade jpg image.
The same files import cleanly in to Aperture 3.x without difficulty.
Software glitch? Or my brain cramp?

i too have a mpg file hat will not import in 4.1 RC.
i think it should import fine?!

Only half of the video clips have sound after import to Premiere Pro

Hi!
When I import my .MTS fukes into Premiere Pro 2014 longer clips loose sound after half the clip. The clips themselves have sound because they are with sound when I watch them using VLC.
How can this sound issue be solved?

Thanks for the screenshot.
Hmm. I don't recall any other reports of a problem like this with MTS files. [Just today I was working on a similar issue with P2 content, but it was limited to spanned clips. Hence that question...]
First thing I'd try is to clear the media cache files, at least for the affected clips. You should find those files here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\. If not there, then check Preferences>Media.

.mp4 Video File Import Question

I have imported my .mp4 home moves into itunes many times with no incident. I've used both the Roxio Popcorn app and also just add a .mp4 file to Library with no problem.
Now I have a home video that I've just completed and want to add to my movie library but when I use either the popcorn app or just save it and then add to library the video seems to vanish.
The little status bar at the top of itunes shows that its being imported, but when I go looking for it in Movies, TV shows etc then it is nowhere to be found.
I have a feeling its there but I just cant find it. Its somehow hidden.
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Download and use MPEG Streamclip. Note that AVI is a container, not a format; you will need to know what codecs they support to be certain of creating a compatible AVI.

Elements 9.03 with Windows XP - Only Audio Portion of Video Files Playing Back

I'm using Elements 9.03 with Windows XP. When I download videos from my Sony HandyCam, the video portion of the file does not play back, only audio. Is there a setting I can adjust or do I need to use a more recent version of Windows?

The video format may not be supported e.g. if AVCHD
If you ever consider upgrading your computer and software, you will get maximum benefit from the combo. Photoshop Elements + Premiere Elements. As well as being the best value for money, it supports all the modern formats and allows the burning of HD DVD’s and many other options, not possible in PSE alone.

HT1473 Only HALF of the name gets imported

I love classical, however the names of songs are typically long and have a lot of similar words "15 [Orgel Büchlein] Helft mir Gotts Güte preisen, BWV 613."
When I drag the songs into my itunes library only part of the song name is there! "[Orgel-Bchlein]-=Helft mir Go" This is is the name I got from the above song.
Here are some examples of what I mean: , as you can see the name gets cut off.
At this point I'm completly stumped. I have been typing the names in by hand but no one wants to do that!
Any sugesstions?
Thanks

I notice all the titles are exactly the same length in your picture, which leads to me to ask if you are sure this isn't simply the end of the column as it goes into the next column? Do you see three full stops at the end of each title?
Like so:
The ... indicates that the title extends beyond the column's end. Notice the area I have ringed. If you put the mouse over that dividing line, you should be able to click-and-drag the column to the width you want, thus showing more (or all) of the title.
If it isn't that, have you looked at the File/Get Info/Info/Name box to see what is actually typed in there? Again, if it's a really long title, you may have to put the cursor into the field and move the cursor to the end so that the title scrolls.
If the tilte in the Name box is truncated, that suggests that the Gracenote dadatbase that iTunes uses has only what you see. In the unlikely event that this is the case, there probably isn't much you can do about it other than type in the mssing information yourself.
