Problem importing video files in LR5.4 on mac

Hello all,
I have a problem importing ANY video file (mp4, mov, mts) into LR5.4 both from the hard drive or directly from the camera. LR reports an error with a file or, if I have already clicked on "purge cache" in Preferences / File Handling and restarted LR, then LR starts to import but then stops and reports a problem with a dynamic server link. Please help!
Best regards,
Not-hopeless-yet

Problem importing video file to PSE Organizer

I use both PE7 and PSE7 and have been steadily importing my video files using PSE7's "organizer" but have encountered a problem with one particular file.
I use the PSE7 "Get photos and videos" menu and when I select this file the computer seems to "hang" and then close PSE7 without any error message. Other video files (.avi) created in exactly the same way can be imported without this problem (although oddly some do seem to take rather a long time for PSE7 to "process"). The offending file is quite large (1.1GB) but I have not had this problem with other files even larger than this.
Interestingly, I can import the file into my catalog using PE7 (usimg the "Get media" menu) but if I do that it subsequently creates a problem in PSE7. When I try to open up the Organizer in PSE7 after importing the offending video file using PE7, the PSE7 Organizer appears normally but with a message "creating thumbnails" at the bottom of the screen. This lasts for 10 seconds or so and then the programme shuts down without any error message.
I think I must have a "poison file". In this situation what should I do? Like many other "clips" already imported, the offending file was created from processing material on a Hi-8 (analogue) tape using the "pass-through" conversion technique. I could I suppose therefore simply repeat the process as I still have the original tape but wondered if there is a better (easier) solution.
This is proving a really useful forum so thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Some thoughts
1 -- You say this is an avi file created from processing material on a Hi-8 analog tape using pass-through, so I think that it is probably a DV-AVI file. What software did you use to capture the DV-AVI file to your computer ? (perhaps Premiere Elements 7 or Windows Movie Maker)?
2 -- I suspect that your realistic options will be determined by whether Premiere Elements 7 can process this file or not. So that is what I would try first.
Can you place that clip on the PRE 7 Timeline and then Export it to a different file (this would be a new DV-AVI file.)? OR - What is at the very front of the problematic clip? If you don't need the content at the front, I would try trimming off the contents at the front of the clip.(because that is what would be used to create the thumbnail), then Export to a new DV-AVI file.
However if the problem turns out to be with the control information stored within that specific avi file and Premiere Elements can not process this file, then repeating the conversion process for that specific file may be the solution.
3 -- FYI - You will probably need to delete that problematic file from your PSE catalog. Not sure if you will be able to do that from Photoshop Elements or if it shuts down too soon.
4 -- FYI - Despite the fact that your problem happens in Photoshop Elements, your potential solutions may come from Premiere Elements. Therefore, I might be suggesting moving this discussion to another forum. For now, I suggest that you respond to this thread.

Cannot import video file into LR5

I'm trying to import a video file (.vob) into LR5 do do some basic editing. When I point LR at the folder it cannot "see" the file and so will not import it.
Does LR look for specific file types? If so which ones?
Working in win7 64bit and LR 5.2
Always had great help from user forums so I look forward to hearing from you guys
thanks

Problem importing video files into slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9

I am able to import the files into my slideshow, but it won't let me save it. It reports an error in saving. Help!

When converting the videos try decreasing the bitrate or changing the file type (perhaps to the iPod native .m4v)
Other than that, you could try a different encoder, like iSquint (isquint.org). It's the one that I use and I even have a QT Pro license.

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

Premiere Elements 12 Mac
A few more questions for now.
Taking your particular .avi files out of the equation, can you import any other format from Add Media/Files and Folders pointed to this external hard drive? What is the format of the external hard drive? NTFS or FAT32?
It is my recollection that AVCHD.avi has always been reported as highly problematic. Yet you seem to be saying that you have no problem importing them in to the project from the desktop with the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to Expert workspace Timeline.
Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 12 from the Mac App Store or from Adobe? If Mac Store, what do you have Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor or some variation thereof?
You wrote
A number of users are experiencing this issue - they connect their hard drive, load Elements, start a new project and go to add media (from the ext hard drive) using the files and folders option.
Could you supply more information on this via link(s) which have reported this issue.
Thanks.

LR4 doesn't import video files .avi and cannot playback

Hello,
I have a big issue with my brand new Lightroom 4.
I've been working on my updated catalog (from LR3) very well, since I tried to import fotos and videos from my second camera (olympus E-PL1).
This "old" catalog contains RAW files (NEF and ORF), Jpeg and Video files (.avi).
In LR3 I had no problems in importing video file and in playing the back with the external player.
Now in LR4 is a real disaster!
I cannot even import .avi files properly.
LR is importing fotos but is giving a failure message on most of the video (avi) file.
Sometimes it imports just few videos and sometimes none of them.
I've tried to import them in differnt way: from camera directly, from a card reader, from an external drive and even from the c: hard drive. i've tried to move, and to add them in catalog. NO WAY!
I've also tried to clean the video cache: no changes. To disable GL accelerator: no results. I have no further idea.
I can play these video files in all applications, from WMP to Quicktime. I have also Vlan installed.
Furthermore, while trying to import or playback videos. LR4 is slowing up in a very strange way. And sometime is crashing the last imported session (files not foud)
I've tried to reinstall it, but I didn't see any different result.
I've searched everywhere in the web for a possible solution, but I didn't find anything.
Avi file I'm talking about are coming from a olympus camera E-PL1, they are in 720p.
Please help me, beacuse I am very disappointed wih thios new video feature.
Thank you in advance!
Marco

Yes, I did and I got a strange outcome.
I checked Quicktime, and I reinstalled it.
I restarted the PC.
When LR4 opens, the processes
dynamiclinkmanager.exe
dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe
Adobe QT32 Server.exe.
are not working.
After I opened the import dialog these services started.
For the first time after restarting the PC; I could import a small video and I could playback it without problems.
The second try of importing more videos (4 small ones), went well, but at the playback moment, everything freezed again.
I tried to restart lightroom and to kill the processes listed above, but I had no luck.
Only restarting the PC I could (and not always) importing the videos. The playback did work just few times.
If the first task, after restarting the PC and Lightroom is importing (without waiting the previews of the importing box) generally there is no problem.
If I work with my catalog, which contains videos as well, then the importing dialog (for videos) is not working.
The playback feature seems to be a matter of luck, 90% ot times is not working well.
I run a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
A similar problem was reported as a bug in this post, and if so I wonder why there are not many other users reporting the same problems.

I really hope I can solve it, without waiting for a bug fix.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
Does anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2. It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death. To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine. Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down. Here are the detailed info you asked for...
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
What other software are you running?none
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
iMac 27in Mid 2011 3.4 Intel Core i7 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD6970M 2048 MB OSX 10/9 (13A603)
No external devices, except a external hard drive. I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?I am not completely sure to be honest - I believe it is the factory settings.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?both!

Problems with Video files in LR4

Hi,
I installed LR4 over LR3. When I try to play a video file in LR4 nothing happens. I cannot import video files or synchronize them.
I also noticed the LR4 hangs for about a minute when I lauch it...
What's wrong? I have Windows 7.

I had a similar problem, but it was with .mov, .avi, and .3gp movie files. When I tried to import these video file types, LR4 would simply hang. Here is what I did to fix the problem.
- Close LR4
- Find a file of the same type using your file explorer that will not import. Right click on it and select Quicktime as the default player. (remember, LR use QT to render all its video)
- Open the video file and confirm that it plays under Quicktime
- Reboot your machine. (this is really only to kill some LR processes that may still be running)
Once your machine restarts, load LR4 and import the video. It should work at this point.

"Red Error" when importing video files

Hello, I tried importing video files (.MOV) into Final Cut Pro X but this "red file error" just comes out and I don't know what to do. I even tried importing my video clip from my iSight camera but it just shows that red error. I feel like every video file imported gets "redded". I don't know how to solve this problem. Thank you all!

P.S. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3

You have "Proxy media" selected under Preferences->Playback, but you are not creating proxy media for your clips on import. That's why you get the red clips.
This is easy to solve. Either:
1) Create the proxy media for your clips, by control-clicking, and choosing "Transcode Media..." and checking the box for proxy media;
or
2) Choose "Original/Optimized media" in Preferences->Playback.
Proxy media uses less disk space and is easier to handle than either the original or optimized media, but is of lower quality; but you can do all the editing in proxy, and then just before you are done, switch again to original/optimized. This way you get lower overhead when editing, and still get the better quality result.
This may be even more relevant for older, less powerful macs, or when you need to use an internal drive, or a slow usb drive with FCP X. If you have a fast mac and a fast drive, you can work away without transcoding, for the most part (multicam clips and other heavier edits may still warrant a transcode).

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.
