Previewing/Playing HD SHQ MP4 video in Timeline is choppy and static.

Previewing and playing back my HD SHQ MP4 video from my Sony Xacti HD video camera in the Timeline is choppy. I have to export to QT in order for me to see the video smoothly.
I have crammed the Power Mac full of RAM (8GB) and have four external FW800 drives, and have set all the system settings to playback at full quality, but it still is choppy. Is there anything I can do? Or is this HD video just too much for even this machine?
Thanks for any help.

It doesn't matter how fast your hardware configuration is.
mp4/h.264 is not an editing codec, but a delivery codec.
Look at your easy set ups. There are none for mp4/h.264.
Both formats are computational intensive and to decode them for editing is nearly impossible.
convert to DVCProHD or pro res or AIC. Those are editing formats.

  • What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

    What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
    For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
         var video:Video;
         var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
         connect_nc.connect(null);
         var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
         stream_ns.client = this;
         function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {  
             if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
                 stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
         stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
         video = new Video();
         addChild(video);
         video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
         stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
    For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well.  Place the following code in the timeline...
         fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
         function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
             fp.play();
    To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page.  Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

  • Can't play the embedded mp4 video in SWF

    Hi, I am creating a basic webpage for the first time. I have successfully inserted a SWF flash player in Dreamweaver, however I am unable to play a mp4 video that is embedded in my swf flashplayer within Dreamweaver web page.
    Message was edited by: Madalsa Tested and previewed the exported SWF on stand alone basis, there I am able to play the embedded mp4 video.  Any ideas will be appreciated.

    I don't mean to impose or anything, but I'm in dire need of help. I've been trying to understand your directions, but to no avail.
    I'm trying to get my embedded .mp4 video to play in my .sfw video on my webpage...  I know that  you said that firefox won't play .mp4 vidoes, and recommend converting it into a ogg.
    The thing confusing me is that... I'm not sure which file I should be converting here... Infact I did convert the .mp4 into a ogg well actually it's a .ogv(confused here also), but am i suppose to convert the .sfw file as well? And how would I setup it up in your first example(i ask this question again below)
    The .mp4 file was 20131122_123440.mp4 , now it's 20131122_123440.ogv and the .swf file is secondtime.swf
    This is the coding I have below set up for my website:
    <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    </head>
    <body  bgcolor="blue">

    </object>
    </td>

    Now if I was to simply to put it in this example below:
    <video controls>
      <source src="foo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      <source src="foo.ogg" type="video/ogg">
      Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element.
    </video>
    How would I be able to get it to work?
    Also, I've read that it could be a pathing issue as well.... Because when I run the video as a test from my computer into firefox it plays the flvplayback (which was the .mp4, and maybe I should of mentioned this in the beginning?), and it works fine.. I placed the .html and the .sfw and the .mp4 in the same folder to try to get it to work, but it doesn't work online, and  I noticed that once I put the .mp4 back on my desktop it plays the video fine in the test run fine... Maybe I should put the .ogv file into the folder instead? I don't even know how that would work.
    Thank you for taking your time out to read this, I really apprecaite it!!! Sorry for the lack of understanding as well!

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Can't play a single downloaded video, with all updated softwares and O.S.

    Problem : Attempting to play any downloaded iTunes video content from my iTunes Library prompts me with the following message:
    Authorize Computer
    This computer is not authorized to play "any iTunes Video That You Just finished downloading.m4v".
    If you purchased this content you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this content by entering your Apple ID and Password.
    Cancel Open iTunes
    Now, keep in mind, iTunes has BEEN open the whole time, it was a necessary prerequisite to purchase an episode of a T.V. show from the iTunes store and download it so I could watch it before bed. So, clicking "Open iTunes", simply brings up another prompt:
    Waiting for iTunes to authorize this computer to play "The Video You Just PURCHASED and DOWNLOADED.m4v"
    iTunes will open and prompt you for a password. You will not be able to play the content on this computer until you successfully authorize it using iTunes.
    Cancel
    I decide not to cancel, and do as the Apple tells me. I wait. Id does not prompt me . . . (maybe because iTunes has been launched the whole time . . . I dunno), instead, the message just eventually disappears and iTunes is left playing a silent, grey screen for my entertainment.
    I thought to check that I was running the most current updates on all software (I am), OS 10.5.5,
    Quicktime Payer Version 7.5.5 (240)
    Quicktime Version 7.5.5 (975)
    and YES, I am running iTunes 8. Everything was playing back beautifully BEFORE I updated. NOW, I can not watch a a single purchased tv episode from 2 years ago, last week or right now.

    FRACK ME!
    I've been slaving over two computers running final cut studio, logic studio 2, ableton live, NI Komplete, DJay, Traktor scratch, safari, firefox, aperture, photoshop CS3, iPhoto, Quicktime pro, Toast, text edit, acrobat, preview, reason, avmixer pro, and Riff Works for fifteen hours. I just wanted to chill with a nice old episode of BSG, that I lost in a harddrive crash a while back and now have finally been able to D.L. from iTunes, to relax off to bed. Instead, I've spent one and a half the amout of time I would have spent with my show, jumping through the help hoops and documenting all this (I don't have T.V., I hate it. iTunes is the only way I will allow myself to watch a T.V. program . . . occasionally).
    Is my brain just fried from working too hard, for too long outside the consumer realm , and missing something fundamentally obvious to iTunes users who don't work all day and night with every conceivable form of digital media? My brain is totally FRACKED now. Gotta find something to watch to unwind.

  • Attempt to play video in timeline causes red and green lines in Canvas

    Hi!
    When I hit the spacebar in FCP's timeline to play, sometimes I get red and green lines in the Canvas (looks like some wierd color digital interference). If I then hit the spacebar again, the audio will play, but with the same red & green lines. If I then hit it a third time, my video will play fine.
    What the heck? Any ideas? This only happens every once in a while.
    Thanks for the input!
    My specs:
    G5 Dual 1.8 GHz processor
    Version 10.3.9 OS
    4GB Memory
    QT version 7.0.2
    not connected to the internet

    To be sure you'll need to include some more details, what version of FCP, and your current sequence settings, but I think I could make an honest assessment, right now. Make a note of your sequence settings, then trash your preferences, but make sure that you close final cut, also once preferences are trashed you'll lose sequence settings, and window configurations if you haven't saved them. So be sure to back them up, before trashing preferences.
    You can find preference by following these commands:
    1.type shift command h - this opens up your home directory
    2.open the Library folder //----SPECIAL NOTE Be very careful in this folder do not move or delete any folders in here.----\\
    3.open the Preference folder //----SPECIAL NOTE Be very careful in this folder do not move or delete any folders in here.----\\
    Now find and delete these 4 files:
    1.com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    Navigate to the Final Cut Pro User Data inside the Preference folder and delete the three remaining Final Cut Prefs Files They are as follows:
    2.Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs //*This may be 3, or 6 depending on your FCP version.
    3.Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
    4.Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
    Remember do not trash any folders period, nor move anything, delete on those 4 files, and remember once you delete them make sure you trash them from the drive, go to trash empty trash. You'll have to reconfigure any unsaved layout workspaces and system sequence settings.
    This Clean system should be done once a year, but only if you notice FCP having problems.
    Hope it helps.

  • Ipad 1 upgraded to iOS 5, "play where left off" video function no longer works, and codecs aren't recognized.

    for some reason after updating to iOS 5, my videos no longer play where i left off, even if i set on the settings to do so. and yes i've tried restoring again, playing video over and over. resetting the video over and over. after a while of tinkering i figured there might be something wrong with the iOS.. also the codecs say "unknown" now, weird. anyone else having these types of problems?

    @bokehftw no problem.
    Update:
    I did my best to compare the two files i have in question.  One pulled directly from my itunes library, and the other from my storage location (exact same file used to import INTO my library).
    Now I admit that analyzing metadata is NOT something I claim to know how to do, but I am capable of googling some stuff and trying to figure something out. 
    So, unless I am missing something here, unfortunately, my findings point AWAY from the metadata thing.  It seems that most of the metadata was actually stripped out of the iTunes file.
    iTunes File:
    Original File:
    Only thing I blacked out is the name of the file in question - you will just have to trust me that it's the same exact file (except the original was used to "import" into my library and the iTunes file is literally pulled from my iTunes Media folder).  Someone who is more familiar with the framework of iTunes may be able to decipher a little better - and for all I know, iTunes uses a funky way of adding it's own metadata that can't be read by third party programs (like Media Info - which is what I used).
    Ah well, back to square one.   If anything, I hope this gets others with more experience/knowledge involved on the subject.
    And on a final note (related to the initial problem) I've also noticed that since iOS5, editing my "info" tabs on my media files (read "movie" files - not music) directly on my idevice, I've noticed it's hit or miss if it actually sticks.  Prior to 5, I had no problems adding info (such as Artist, album, etc.) and having it show up that way.  Now, the filename itself changes, but the additional information is now no longer shown.  wierd. 

  • QT streaming .mov plays back video fine, but sound choppy with static

    I created some QT streaming files with compressor. 6 bandwidths for same video file. The files themselves play fine. When I click the QT ref movie I made the sound is poppy and has some static. You can view the video here.
    http://services.ltc.arizona.edu/MediaServices/betts/betts6.mov
    The problem does happen on more than one workstation, but the files on the server play fine. It's just when streaming. Any thoughts?

    Yep. Pretty horrible.
    Why not use some more modern codecs? Currently you're using Sorenson 3 and IMA 4:1 audio, Stereo and at 44.100Hz. No need for stereo in a "talking head" video. No need for an audio track that is only 4 times smaller than the audio found on a CD (4:1 compression).
    Use MPEG-4 Video codec and AAC audio. This will shrink the data rate and probably fix your audio issues,

  • How do I get mp4 videos to play in Dropbox on iPad2?

    Dropbox and converting video files is new stuff for me, so this may be something simple I am missing.  I converted 3gp videos to mp4 videos and copied them into my Dropbox on my PC.  As expected, the videos showed up in my Dropbox on my iPad2.  When I went to play the mp4 videos on the iPad, I got the same message as I did with the 3gp videos--"enable flash".  Obviously, something is wrong.  How do I get these mp4 files to play?
    The mp4 videos also had a narrower frame, making the people in the video look skinny.  Is that typical when you convert the 3gp file to mp4?

  • How do I get audio from mp4 video to stop playing on other slides? URGENT

    I have imported an mp4 video into my Captivate file, and it plays well. But when I get to slides after that one, the audio from the video file repeats on several other slides. How do I get this ugly behavior to stop?
    I don't want to unsync the audio and video because it could get out of sync on playback.
    Please advise ASAP. I am supposed to be handing this in tomorrow and have spent countless hours doing workarounds on this project already...
    Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
    Ellen

    Hello Ellen,
    What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
    If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
    Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • Playing mp4 video (iPhone recorded)

    When I record a video on my iPhone, it plays fine. But, if I e-mail it to myself as an attachment and then try to play it, I can neither play it nor download it to play. Any ideas?? I have searched online like crazy and all I can find is to download the video on my PC, convert it, and then sync it back to my iPhone......seems ridiculous to have to do with a video that I recorded on the phone itself?!?!? Thank you much!!!!!!

    Hi,
    You can play m4v, mp4 video on FP 9 (.115 and above) only if
    they are H.264 (high def) encoded.
    Make the files flv if you want them to play without them
    being H.264 encoded.

  • How to get a gif file to loop in PE11 with MAC 10.6.8? 480x320x72 pix/in. saved layers for web, check animate,preview plays fine but saved file doesnt

    can't figure out why the gif file won't loop. Set up 5 photo frames 480x320pixels x 72pix/in in PE11, creating a layer for each. Each layer visible. Saved for web. Checked animate. The preview plays fine. But when I save the file and then click on the saved file to play, it re-opens the layers instead of playing the loop. The only SAVE option that shows up is "IMAGES ONLY"
    Using photoshop elements 11 on MAC 10.6.8. Either I'm setting this up wrong or is there a hidden setting I need to change?

    Thanks for the thought, Barbara B. Not sure if this counts, but emailed the file to myself [different email account, same computer] but it would not play as an email attachment. Any suggestions for a web upload where I can test your suggestion? Seems like there should be a different save option other than IMAGES ONLY but that is the only option I'm given.
