Premiere sees .flv video file as only audio

Hi, I'm on Premiere Pro CS 4.2.1.
When I import this particular flv file into Premiere, it sees it as an audio file, rather than a video file. I assume I am missing a codec, or perhaps it was encoded with something that doesn't work with Premiere. However, I can open and play the file properly using Adobe Media Player, so the file itself is not broken.
Here's what MediaInfo reveals about the file. Anything obvious here that would be causing the problem?

Ed,
There can be one of several CODEC's inside of the FLV wrapper. Your PrPro CS 4.2.1 should natively handle some, though possibly not all. You might want to look at Moyea, as they offer several FLV editing/conversion solutions. Note: through PrPro CS 3, Moyea had a great plug-in, Premiere FLV Importer. Things changed with CS 4, and that plug-in no longer worked, but by about the second, or maybe the third update to CS 4, native support for some FLV CODEC's was incorporated into the program - but there are probably some missing from that native support. Still, Moyea might have just what you need. I have also used a freeware program, FLV to AVI, but did not need that, when I discovered the Premiere FLV Importer plug-in, up through PrPro CS 3.
Good luck,

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.

I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wavfile of other audio file. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
USAGE RULES
1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.

Please help my flv video file works perfectly localy...but its not visible in remote ftp why??

hi All,
Please help me. my flv video file works perfectly localy in
my computer...but its not visible when i uploaded the flv html and
flash files to ftp?
thanks in advance

This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

Video file is only imported as audio in premiere elements 11

I have been trying to import an .avi video file in premiere elements 11 but it is only imported as a sound file. According to gspot the codec (WMV3, WMP v9 (VC-1 Simple/Main)) is installed.
What can I do?

How do I convert FLV video files to Mpeg (or any other video format?)

I have about 60 flv files I need to convert to mpeg and am using MPEGSTREAMCLIP 1.9.1 but every file loses all audio. Ive tried converting to every format MPEGSTREAMCLIP can do and all lose all audio. Anybody have any idea why this is or is there some other free file converter I should use for flvs?
Ive also tried VISUALHUB but for some reason these flv's are not compatible with it.
Thanx in advance!

"Ive also tried VISUALHUB but for some reason these flv's are not compatible with it."
Now that is strange. Are you using v1.34.1? I converted a few flv files a few weeks ago without any issue.
Video Monkey utility took over from where VH left off. Try it. It's free & claims to be just like VH including +"ease of use."+

Can't see video on dvd only audio

I do not get video when I play my dvd only audio. I played this exact dvd yesterday and it was fine. I also played it on my t.v. and it played fine. Any ideas?

Hi
Brand of DVD used - matters
Type of DVD - also matters - DVD-R or DVD+R or DVD+/-RW ?
BURN SPEED - Matters GREATLY - Best IS NOT BEST - I never go faster than x4 - most often use x2
So please tell - What You used - as this matters to a great extent.

Mp4 converted video file is missing audio codec

I have several avi. files on my computer which were converted to mp4. using videora software. A few of these converted mp4. files then had no audio when I tried to play them on my Ipod. I am confused as to how to add the audio codec back into the video files. Do I have to install this to avi. then convert to mp4., or is there some audio codec which will apply directly to mp4. so they do not have to be reconverted? What is the procedure at this point? Thanks for your help in advance.

First thing to do is find out if Videora supports whatever audio codec the AVI uses.
If it supposedly does, write it off as one of the many bugs with videora and get a different transcoder that supports the audio codec.
Outside of having good knowledge of video production and the right tools-there is no easy way to do what you want.

Flash FLV Video File

I have a Flash Video on one of my pages. Also on the page is
a menu selection to hide/show some layers. One fo the layers has
the Flash FLV video and plays ok when the page is loaded. But if
you select another menu item I want to stop the video from playing.
I used the Shockwave/Flash object to stop it but that does not
work.
Here is the link to the site with the video file...
http://technofirstamerica.com/technologies/cabNoise.html
Can anyone point to a KB or an example?
Thanks

Try this component:
http://perian.org/
It will allow flv's to play in Quicktime.

I rented a movie. It's not showing up in my video file. Only music videos are. How do I find it?

I rented a movie. I synced my computer and my iPad. The movie isn't anywhere on my iPad. I looked in videos, but the only tab at the top of the page is Music. No movie tab to click. Anyone know where the movie might be?

It's probably still on your computer. Rental movies can't be synced like other videos since they can only exist on one device at a time, your computer or your iPad. Connect your iPad to your computer and select the movies tab. At the top of the page you'll see rented movies separate from purchased movies. Select the movie you want and click the "Move" button.

My MPEG4 videos files are now audio only files

I updated to the newest version of Quicktime. Now, when I launch an MPEG4 video, all I get is the audio. The video is gone. What's going on here? I need these files to go back to the way they were. What can I do????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed that no ONE person answered this post. I mean; it's not like I switched to Windows LOL.
Anyway, I found a fix for my problem from another post. If this helps you, please thread this message saying it helped you too. This is what I read from another post:
I fixed this issue on a MacBook by swapping out the mp4 component for an earlier version.
You can find it in /System/Library/Quicktime/
I advise backing up the original (later version 7.4.1), this is just good practice.
For those of you who don't have an older version kicking about on another Mac, download it here:

Video files shown as Audio files ? CS4

Ok so i have spent a day filming a short film on my Panasonic HDC-TM10, the files save as .MTS (AVCHD)
I copied all the files from my camera to my HDD..
All the files play fine on Windows Media Player, though some open a bit slower to start, then play fine and normal (remember i said this)..
I import all the .MTS files into Premiere Pro CS4, and out of random about half of the files are how they should be, play fine, edit fine.
BUT some other random files ( one of a shot of an actor opening a door, the others of a television turned on) appear and play as audio files in the group of my clips (they have audio icons, the other working ones have the film icon).. it seems completely random to me ? why these shots and all the rest are fine, i used no different settings on the camera all are equal..
Out of my own knowledge i would thought its a file codec issue? as i tried changing the file extensions to .mpg and windows gave each file a notepad XML of some random adobe tech info, the files that appear in premiere pro as audio files only had audio info compaired to the ones that worked fine had video info aswell (such as FPS and resolution info)..
So i dont get what the hecks going on here, as i said, all files play fine in windows media player (with the slight beginning load of the weird files which then play as normal..) so why are these certain shots recognised as audio files in premiere pro ?
I am sure there is some simple solution to this, so any help much appreciated, Thankyou.

IVE FOUND THE SOLUTION !!!!!!!!
OK after about 10 hours of testing and tweaking and frustration here i am proud to say..
To all Panasonic AVCHD camera users, that have strange file issues, that do not work in certain programs..
Turn the setting 'Digital Cinema Colour' [OFF] when advancing the zoom in shots.
-Digital Cinema Colour is OK to use if on x1 zoom (no zooming in used) but if any zooming optical or digital turn it OFF.
What i think is the problem here is this digital cinema colour interfearing with video codec somehow ?
It says on my camera for the info of digital cinema colour..
"Record motion pictures with more vivid colours, using x.v.colour(trade mark sony) technology." < AND THIS IS A PANASONIC CAMERA ?!?
NOW, x.v.colour is apparently only compatible on certain televisions and cameras for "viewing"
I on to something here.. I have identified a major flaw by panasonic, that zoomed shots on DCC get corrupted..
To back up my testing i repeatedly filmed sequences off shots i with DCC on or off, i wrote down a sequence to shoot in that went..
[ON],[OFF,][ON],[OFF],[OFF],[ON,[OFF],[ON,
..I used planned random sequences to crack coincidences.
The results were not a coincidence, the files were imported, and the shots with Digital Cinema Colour [ON] were imported as audio files..
So to conclude this, thankyou very much to all your support, I have found usefull programs you have given me i will use onwards, thankyou.

I am experiencing choppy playback with converted .flv video file?

I have just reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro and then installed CS4. I have updated the suite and tried converting my first .avi file. I was told in a previous post that I should not use K-lite Codec pack with Pr Pro, so I tried using the Adobe Media Encoder included in the CS4 package. It took the media encoder a better part of an hour to covert Beerfest from an .avi file to a .flv file. I was hoping this would allow for a better quality playback, Unfortunately it did not work. During playback with no edits or cuts of any kind, I still experience huge sync problems with the audio and the video. I heard there is a way to use you GPU to accelerate the speed of Pr. Can someone please help me configure my system if that is possible?
Should I use a third party encoder or codec? IF so which one? Is there a general setup guide or tutorial that I can review so I can make sure all my settings are correct, for playing and editing .avi files? Once I import an .avi file into a sequence, is there something more I should do before I begin to edit and playback?
If anyone could help me get started I would be very appreciative.
My System
AMD Anthlon 64 X2
6400 3.2 GHZ (OverClocked to 3.42Ghz)
8GB G-skill SDRAM (3.25GB recognized by XP Pro)c
Nividia 8800GT Video Card
OS Windows XP Pro SP3

I was told in a previous post that I should not use K-lite Codec pack with Pr Pro
This was good advice. K-Lite, though one of the more benign CODEC "packs," has still caused many users all sorts of grief.
Along with the answer to Jeff's question, please let us know the complete specs. on your Export. It could be something simple there.
Good luck,
Hunt
