Prel saved to avi

Hi,
I cannot export my prel files to avi files. It seems that the EXPORT choice on the file menu in elments 10 is greyed out. Has anyone got any ideas please...

Goozzie,
No problem.
In Adobe parlance, Save is the process of actually Saving the PREL/Project file. In PrE parlance, the terms for outputting to an AV file would be Export (prior to version 7), Share (versions 7 - 10), and Publish+Share for PrE 11.
For a bit more background on the PREL, and on the Save functions (there are basically three versions, plus AutoSave), see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837
When working in the Project (and especially with larger, more intricate Projects), I use all three versions of Save, depending on what I need to do.
Good luck,
Hunt

AVI saved to avi

Hi-
I am using MPEG Streamclip to trim home movies. When I save my .AVI clip in "Save As" it creates a .avi clip, and when in my MOVIES folder in my Finder, I do not see a thumbnail of the clip anymore, just a clip with the same title, but a lowercase ".avi" not the original ".AVI" uppercase letters.
I am a novice, so I am not sure which forum was correct to ask this question. I thought this forum might have some expertise in this subject. Eventually I want to take the trimmed clips and put them into iMovie to create a finished product. So, after I trim the movie, does it matter to iMovie if the clip is lowercase .avi or uppercase .AVI? and What happened to the thumbnail image. I just get a stock QT image as the thumbnail. Thanks for any help or ideas. I have the upgrade for iLife08 so I will be working with iMovie 08. Have a nice day, Tim

Merged overlay not saving to AVI

LV2013/Vision 2013
In a loop, I am grabbing images from a camera using the Vision Acquisition express vi. To the output image, I add a text overlay of the system time (e.g., 11:23:56.489). The overlay is pure white text on a pure black background. I then send this resultant image through the Merge Overlay.vi to destructively place the overlay onto the image. I then save this image as a frame in an AVI file with IMAQ AVI2 Write Frame.vi. On the LV front panel image indicator, the image shows the timestamp. However, the saved AVI file does not. The AVI file shows the frames as if the overlay was never there. It's as if the Merge Overlay.vi didn't actually do a destructive merge and the IMAQ AVI2 Write Frame.vi just threw it out. Anybody have any idea why the overlay isn't showing up in the AVI?
Thanks,
Dave

That did it - thanks. It had worked before with the old version of AVI Write Frame, but not the new one. Creating a new RGB32 IMAQ image and wiring that to the ImgDst terminal solved the issue.

Pre8 crashes when saving as AVI

Hello,
I've have a couple of MiniDV tapes of HD video that I need to convert to SD. I've tried putting them in the timeline - 1 clip at a time, and saving them as an AVI. I can get 22% finished or so, and the computer will either crash, or I'll get a blue screen. I'm trying Pre7 now to see if maybe it'll work better. My disks are defragged, my drivers are up-to-date, and I've done performance tests on my PC, to see if maybe it was a hardware issue - no answers yet.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Shama

A BSOD is almost always a sign of hardware issues. The main ones are:
1.) heat buildup affecting the CPU, the RAM or the HDD's
2.) RAM going bad
3.) Power Supply Unit going bad, not capable of handling the load or not configured properly to supply adequate voltage to the system components.
4.) MoBo going bad

Importing DV footage saved as AVI

Hi Guys,
I've spent four years working on a project using Premiere Pro on a Windows machine. <ducking> During that time I've captured hundreds of hours worth of footage from DV cams that were saved in the AVI format. Now I'm being asked to provide that footage to another party who edits on a Mac using FCP.
I know (assume) that FCP can work with native DV footage although I don't know if it can use DV footage in an AVI wrapper. Can it? If not, and assuming I don't want to recompress since the DV data itself should be FCP compatible, is there a workaround to make these files FCP compatible?
Thanks

AVI files that use the DV codec will playback in Final Cut Pro without re-rendering.
Just for fun, I tested this a few minutes ago with such a clip on my G4 (worst case scenario).
It was fine.

Problems saveing to avi but not swf

hey all! I did a search around the forum but i dont believe i
saw a previous thread like this but im sure i missed it. so a
pre-emptive sorry. anyways onto the reason for this post.
My husband and i just got cs3. And I was playing around
trying to find out how to green screen. I found a tutorial on
youtube but it doesnt cover saveing. Anyways i went to export it
but the only thing that works is .swf . If i export it as avi or
mov neither save it correctly. they both seem to just save the
image and not the animation ontop of it. And unfortunately
youtube.com doesn't accept swf to upload. I was hopeing you all
would know what im doing wrong and how to save it to a youtube
friendly file. for the most part avi or mov.
To make the movie. I used keylight in after effects to get
the green screen then saved as a flv then opend it in flash
and imported the picture. then layed down the playable movie
file and then tried to export it. dunno why nothing else is working
but swf. but im a complete newb so im not surprised this baffles
me. anyways thanks so very much to anyone who can help!!!!!!! or if
im makeing it wrong can you point me in the right direction to edit
green screens. but ive been working on this for about 3 days trying
persistantly to make it work or convert it but nada. anyways ty in
advance

You'll have to use 3rd party woftware to either convert from
swf to flv, or swf to avi. I don't know of any freeware that does
this though.
Total
Video Converter can do swf to flv and costs $41.
WinAVI
Video Converter can do swf to avi (and other video formats like
mpg) and costs $30.

Saving in AVI - does it preserve HDV format or default to DV?

I have two movies I have saved - one 40 min and one 1.5 hours. Both are in High Definition format from HDV Tape. I want to combine them, and understand that if I save them both in AVI format, I can recall one, and then combine the other one into it.
BUT- will this retain teh HDV (High Definition) format or go to regular DV?

No. If you want to export both for a hi-def project use Share/Personal Computer/MPEG using the 1440x1080 preset.
As I say in my books, this will output a hi-def video that will import right into a project using the HDV settings.
This is apparently a follow-up to your other thread. Please don't create a new thread when we're finishing up the discussion on the first thread.

IMovie saving as .avi trouble

I've got two projects that I need final editing done on a PC (can't help it, not in my control). I saved one as an .avi, and had no problems. The second and longer (19:33mins) project is giving me all kinds of problems.
I used the same settings, same compression, same aspect ration, same sound settings...the works. I don't get an error message. What I do get is only the first 41s as an .avi The point where it stops is not a scene change, or transistion.
Is there somewhere I can find an iMovie troubleshooting solution? I've looked all over the i-net for a solution or similar problem on mac-forums and the like. It seems many have problems playing or capturing .avi files, but not saving as them. Am I the only person with this problem?
Saving as .dv, .mpg, .mov is fine. But I need it in .avi to keep up the quality. The vids will go on my local public access tv station, if....

Welcome JoeArc10 to the  iMovie boards ...
.. The second and longer (19:33mins) project is giving me all kinds of problems.
and I assume, you try to save it on a 'PC formatted' drive, right?
fat32 (drive format) has a built-in barrier of 2GBs per file (that is a Windows 'standard', not a Mac problem) .. or, in dv-encoded material 19min-and-some-secs..
chop your export in two, try again..

How can I convert the projects files (*.prel) to a AVI or WMV format? Is that possible?

I'm actually using Adobe Premiere Elements 10.

rayssasouza
There is no "Publish+Share" in Premiere Elements 10. Publish+Share/ is the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 counterpart of Premiere Elements 10's Share/.
If you have established your Premiere Elements 10 (assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit) Timeline, you can export that to an .avi file and .wmv file and many other formats from the Share area. Remember, .avi and .wmv are just file extensions that wrap the video and audio compression, so, when deciding on export choices, good to keep in mind all the properties that you seek for your export. All that being said...
General idea....
For avi file...
Share
Computer
AVI
and then you set for the appropriate Presets.=
For .wmv file
Share
Computer
Windows Media
and then you set for the appropriate Presets =
I suspect what generated your question was that you are not seeing the AVI and Windows Media choices under Share/Computer/.
If that is so, you need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices and scroll down to AVI and Windows Media to see them
and others toward the bottom of the list there.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Movie saved as AVI

I must save a short movie for a client so it will play on a PC without QuickTime and it will not be load on the corporations computers. It must also be under 50mg, it's only going to be a 30second movie. It will be e-mailed to employees. I can save it as a avi file but to get the best quality it is to big. Is there any way to change the dimensions so the image and the file size is smaller. Also what is the best compression to use.
Thanks

Hi Dave,
as an Apple user, you should make some "propaganda" for Quicktime-for-windows.... ;-)), hey, PC-users, and it's free!!!
to get serious:
compressing video files is an art form, see what our iMovie expert Dan is writing on his excellent website about exporting: Dan's unofficial iM website (look at the point export)
you can play around with the settings: make it smaller, less frame rates (15 is in most cases enough), make it mono.....

How do I get Streamclip AVI files that were saved without first installing Quicktime ALternative 1.81 to play in Premiere Elements 11?

I had Hi-8 "home movie" tapes transferred to mp4 files. To pull many short clips from these long files, I used MPEG Streamclip 1.2. The default save for these short clips was mp4. Either they didn't work in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 or I thought they wouldn't -- I can't recall now -- so I saved each clip as AVI. These AVI files won't play at all in Premier Elements. I Googled for advice and found that I needed to convert to Quicktime Alternate 1.81. I fear this had to be done before I saved the clips, but I didn't realize that. Still, I just now uninstalled Quicktime 7 and installed Quicktime 1.81, then tried converting the AVI clips files, first back to MP4 (didn't work at all in PE11) and then to MOV (only played audio). The AVI files play fine in Windows Media Player and VLC. All I have are the original files saved as AVI in Streamclip. Is there any way to get these to play and be editable in Premiere Elements 11? I've attached a jpeg capture of a gspot readout for one of these files. THANKS!

kidimi
Glad that you finally sorted out what you were doing and discovered DV AVI.
In your particular situation Prism would serve your purposes of generating the DV AVI 4:3 since your footage is 640 x 480. However, for others with different footage, the free Prism shortcoming is that it cannot offer DV AVI widescreen 16:9; whereas MPEG Streamclip can do the job for 16:9 as well as 4:3.
QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 that does come with the MPEG Streamclip's required MPEG2 Playback Component (free) also meets the Premiere Elements requirement for QuickTime installed on computer with Premiere Elements to work. This works in spite of the fact that QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 is not the latest version of the regular QuickTIme.
In post 2 of the following older thread, I detail the use of Prism (for 4:3) and MPEG Streamclip (for 4:3 and 16:9) to produce the DV AVI file.
Finished video of project looks "weird" / slightly choppy? - Elements Village
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Moving forward, do not use AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) or H.264.avi in Premiere Elements. It is not supported.

IMAQ AVI read frame performance

I've been playing around with the read AVI with buffer example in the Developer Community. It reads all the frames of an AVI into memory and then plays them back at the appropriate frame rate. This works ok with very small AVI files but with anything larger it gets slower and slower until it almost stops loading the AVI. At that point it seems to be loading less than 5 frames per second and is killing my cpu. I have plenty of free RAM during this.
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8479
This is the case with the play AVI example that comes with Labview too (without a buffer) which just loads and plays one frame at a time. Can someone suggest a way to improve the performance of an AVI player in Labview? My ultimate goal is to read an AVI and detect changes in motion of objects by comparing two frames at a time. These AVIs are going to be at least 5 minutes in duration at a frame rate of 30 fps.
I'm using Labview 2009 with the Vision Developer installed.

Hi,
One thing we could implement is a compression filter that is on the IMAQ AVI Create VI used in conjunction with the IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names VI. Also, what is the RAM available on your computer and what size images are you acquiring and saving to AVI? Thanks!

Thanks for replying. I'm running labview 2009 on a dual core pentium 2.3 GHz with 4 Gigs of ram. It typically has 2 Gigs free while running the program.
I'm not tryingt write an AVI, I'm trying to read an AVI. The frames are 352 x 240 in size. I've tried several read AVI examples and they all act the same way. They slow down quickly and the hard drive and CPU are really cranking away.

When I add media from my dLink surveillance camera, the avi files always land in audio instead of the video area. Why, and how can I get them to land as visual?

I am trying to edit some of the surveillance videos taken from our dLink camera of the dogs playing when we are not home, but when I import the .avi files, it always just goes to the audio portion (of Premiere Elements 11) and nothing shows up as video. What am I doing wrong? Please know, I am completely new at this program, since I bought it for the purpose of playing with my dLink home camera videos and haven't been able to do a single thing with them as of yet due to how they are importing. I did "get media" from my Bloggie camera to see if that worked, and it did come across as a video and not just audio, so I am not sure why the other isn't working.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!
