Problem exporting avi files to Flickr

Hi,
I'm using iphoto '09 and I have a pro subscription on Flickr. When uploading one of my albums to Flickr which contains a few small avi videos (I'm talking of duraitons no longer than a couple of minutes) in amongst the photos, when I look at the set on Flickr the videos are just photos (the thumbnails of the video in iphoto). Any idea why this happens? Incorrect video format? iPhoto/Flickr simply doesn't let you do this? Does a newer version of iPhoto allow it?
Thanks,
Ali.

Thanks. I feared as much...
It's actually easier if I just locate the videos through the flickr upload dialogue box. I just look for Media > Photos > My album

Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

Why does "only" my Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?

Why does Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?
but when I watch Youtube video, there are avi file format option in CS6!!!!!!!
Can anybody help me?
WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash uses the Adobe Media Converter to create the video output. If you select the "Use Media Converter" option after selecting to output to Quicktime, and, if your computer has the AVI codec installed, you should be able to export to an AVI file.

Problem downloading avi files

Hi,
I have recently had problems downloading avi files from rapidshare.de, because the avi files do not download to my desktop (a new ticket system prevents me from manually clicking on the link, and instead begins downloading the files automatically), but open and play in my browser (Internet Explorer 5.2). I cannot save these files to my computer or open them in my QuickTime application. Can I get some help as to how I can configure my browser to download avi files to my desktop, instead of opening them in the browser

Hi erikson1,
If the link is a direct liink to the avi file, you can just hold the 'control' key - click and hold the mouse over the link and then select "Download linked file to disk."
If the link is to a html or other similiar web page that will play the file in it then it gets a little more complicated to get that avi file. Then you may have to view source of that page and find the direct link to the avi file for download.

Problem exporting AVI to WMV in Quicktime.

So I am putting together a powerpoint presentation for school but they have Vista computers, and my quicktime movie files and AVI files will not work because the school does not have quicktime on its computers. The only exported file through Quicktime that has worked is a WMV. However, somehow through the exportation process, the last half of the video gets cut off between being an AVI and going to a WMV.
What can I do to fix this?

Okay QuicktimeKirk. I found the problem, just not how to solve it. I looked through the guide and everything and nothing makes sense and i need these videos for a presentation tomorrow so I'm freaking out a little.
Here's the deal, I am on my vid, here are my steps:
File>Export
Next to the Export dialog box, I pick Options...
On this page, the top says Flip4Mac Export Settings - Demo Version.
So, you were right, the problem is I have the demo version. But how do I change this page to go from Flip4Mac Export Settings - Demo Version TO Flip4Mac Studio Export Settings?
I downloaded everything to my computer, entered the serial number, and installed everything.
What is the next step to fix this mess?

Problem Playing AVI Files From Adobe Classroom In A Book

Hiya,
I just bought the Adobe Classroom In A Book for Premiere Pro CS4. However, when I try to run Lesson 1, Premiere Pro appears to be having a cow with the AVI file needed for the project. It tells me that the codec is missing or unavailable. I'm using a MacBook Pro on Leopard and, according to the updater agent, I'm up-to-date. Has anyone tried this book? And run into problems? Any solutions to offer me? This is driving me bonkers!
Please and thank you!

Hm-m, the DV-Type II's *should* play fine in QT. At least they do with QT on my PC. Adobe is usually pretty good at getting their CiaB assets X-platform. Wonder what's going on here. I think that this is the third thread on CiaB assets not playing on a Mac. Odd indeed, and probably just a "mess up" on someone at Adobe Press.
Had similar with a Painter 3.0 book, years ago. The author had to send me 11 CD's before we found one that had the PC files on it. All the rest were Mac-only and she was really pissed at her publishing house. However, she hung in there, and we got it sorted out.

External disk problem with AVI files

Hi
I do have Premiere elements 7 installed on a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista.
I have just rendered (DV camera to AVI files) some 20 tapes to my external disk (usb and fire wire connection) and everyuthing worked perfect.
A week later Premiere complains that I have not the correct codec installed.
However AVI files stored on my laptop still works.
Someone that has a clue about this?
Second problem.
When renering the DV camera to AVI files directly to the laptop the dates works fine.
When i copy them to an external disk, the dates are replaced with todays date and I can not anymore see the shooting date.

Hi,
Thanks, the forum seems to be a good knowledgebase. And thanks for your fast reply.
The thing is that I have a external disk with firewire and USB input.
However the laptop has only one firewire connection, so when rendering I use the laptop firewire for my Sony DCR-TRV33E and connects the external disk with USB.
When I create my videos, I connect the external disk with firewire.
However the problem is the same even if I try with USB or Firewire.
BUT last week it worked with both?????

Export AVI files to iMovie

Hello, sorry for my english,
I'm getting mad...
I have an avi file with following parameter:
DivX 4 (Perian), 720 x 480, Milioni
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
29,97 FPS
it's about 600 MB
I would like to import it in iMovie, so I try to export it as iMovie doesn't like this format...
I really don't know what export format should I choose in order to:
- Keep same quality
- Keep quite same dimension
I tried so many ways but I get either urgly video quality or dimension like 60GB !!!
What am I missing ?

iMovie is meant for camcorder imports = very few 'formats' supported, divx is not.
use Mpeg Streamclip (hey, Italian invention!! ) to convert into dv-stream, NTSC, 48kHz audio, 29.97 framerate.
1h of such an encoded file is about 13GBs..
don't forget to set iMovie to NTSC/29.97 fps either!
(changes take effect after relaunch of iMovie!)
otherwise, iM will convert it again.. to PAL ..
dv-stream is iM≤6 native format - as from miniDV camcorders..

Problems seeing avi files in finder

Hi,
I've recntly switched to mac and I have been copying a load of stuff to my new machine from my old PC. The trouble that I am having is that i can't see some DivX AVI files when I look for them in finder (the folder they are in looks as if it is empty). When I look for the files using spotlight search or if I go through a program and get to the file though file and open I can see the files normally.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

Hi Turbo Slicer,
Finder has some trouble refreshing the contents of folders after you perform some operations like unzipping copying and moving so all you need to do is create a blank folder in the apparently but not so empty folder and then delete the untitled new folder. This is the easiest and fastest way i've found. I'm hoping it will go away eventually with an OS update.
Good Luck

Having problems importing AVI files

I am getting an error message when trying to import an AVI file. I converted a whole batch of MOV files to AVI files because when I imported the MOV files into Premier Elements 9 it would only play back the first five seconds of audio on each clip. Now, only about 4 out of the 20 AVI files will import. With the other files I get this message "This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed." WHAT THE HECK!!!!!! They are all the same type of file converted from the same type of file at the same time! WHY THE HECK will adobe import a few (and play them back fine) and not the rest! I am seriously in tears. I HATE Premier at this point. All I want is to put our family videos on DVD. I have spent HOURS just trying to get Premier to recognize the clips. Seriously?!?

The main conversion program, that I use, is shareware, DigitalMedia Converter (Deskshare), and I have an older version, 2.7, that has been replaced. My older version cost US$ 49, IIRC.
For MOV files, I often use Apple's QuickTime Pro, with is an upgrade/unlock, that costs ~US $29.
With those MOV files, what CODEC is used in them?
There are certain CODEC's, often seen in the MOV wrapper, that are Mac-specific, and there is no PC version available. The FCP AIC (Apple Intermediate CODEC) is one of those.
If one has SD (Standard Definition) material, on a PC, the ideal format is AVI, but specifically with the MS DV/DVC CODEC. Those files will Import perfectly, and edit smoothly.
Now, when it comes to CODEC's, I always recommend finding out the exact CODEC needed, and then downloading and installing only that/those. I always try to go "to the source" for my CODEC's, and will pay for a commercial CODEC from the originator, rather than install some free version of it. I also shun any CODEC "packs," as many can cause all sorts of problems.
Please let us know what the CODEC/CODEC's is/are, and then perhaps we can offer a bit more direction.
Good luck,
Hunt

Quicktime exporting AVI files

At Videography Lab we are testing the Pentax Optio W30 and W60 cameras. Both are waterproof but the W60 has a wider lens which we prefer. Unfortunately in upgrading their camera, Pentax moved from a native Quicktime movie to an AVI.
We had gotten quite happy with Quicktime Pros quick edit trimming capability. So we started opening the AVI files with Quicktime Pro and trimming. Than when we were finished we Save As . . . and only get the Quciktime Movie format.
We would like to save them as AVI files. One reason is that Windows XP gives a key frame for AVI movies but only a Q logo for Quicktime movies.
So is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?

is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?
What KIND of AVI file. AVI is just a wrapper. Many of the newer cameras use some form of mpg-4 codec in the AVI files. Open the file in the Quicktime player and do a "Window>Show Movie Properties". What video and audio CODEC are shown?
BTW, I use VisualHub to work with my problem AVI files on the Mac side.

Cs 5.5 low quality exported avi file

i imported a avi file and recorded audio clips to voice over the avi. the original avi file was a screen capture using Camtasia software. when i edited the avi file i had to make cuts and copy and past and sometimes stretch the avi to accomodate the voice overs. so after all is said and done the exported file looks like crap and you can't read the words or make out the transistions. How can i improve the quality of the avi on export? please help

As Harm alludes, AVI can contain almost anything. Take a look at this FAQ Entry: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
For Camtasia footage, see this article, and especially Jeff Bellune's comments in the linked threads: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2324919#2324919 There are many references to earlier versions of PrPro, but most will apply to CS 5 and later.
Good luck,

Problem exporting .mov file

I'm trying to export a :30 second sequence using quicktime conversion to a .mov file. I use the default settings with the H.264 codec and uncompressed 16 bit audio. (I've also tried a few other settings with Sorenson and Sorenson 3) The same thing happens everytime. The export takes forever (about 20 minutes) then stops when the progress bar gets to about 79%. A general error comes up. On some occasions, I have also gotten a notice that says my startup disk is close to full. This is confusing because all my drives have at least 10gb of space available on them.
It was suggested in another thread that this could be a result of a corrupt media or render file. If so, how does one determine that this is the cause? It was also said that bad RAM might be to blame.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm...
I wouldn't jump right into upgrading as a fix at this point, since your program shouldn't have any trouble exporting a simple Quicktime, and the upgrade to Final Cut Studio from FCP 3 is $799 USD. That isn't full price, but still may be a bit steep if you've chosen to keep using FCP 3 for so long. Although I will say that subsequent versions include many improvements that you might actually appreciate so keep it in mind.
Have you tried exporting using Quicktime Conversion from any other projects with any other clips? That would also be a good idea, to narrow down the problem. Did you try exporting a Quicktime Movie using Current Settings? I realize that may not be adequate for your final intention, but it would help the troubleshooting as well.
I once had a problem exporting a clip from FCP and after trying everything, I recaptured the clip and it ended up working. There were no visible glitches or skips in the video to indicate that the clip itself would have been corrupt, but turns out it was. So if you can recapture, since it's only a 60-second clip, maybe give that a whirl.
You should also trash your FCP prefs (search for com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist on your sytem drive and delete that file), repair your permissions (in Disk Utility), and restart.
