Problems importing avi into dreamweaver

I am trying to play an avi animation in Dreamweaver but the
animation will not play.
I have tried insert/media/
flash/shockwave/applet/Plugin/activex.
None of these methods work. There doesnt seem to be an action
button for inserting avi's.
Is ther any coding I can use to import my avi into a table in
my dreamweaver page or is there another way to import an avi into
Dreamweaver.
I have also tried dragging the file onto the screen from the
site menu but error appears "fail to open document"
I have tested the avi and it plays okay in a media player
Please help

You would embed it or link to it, but honestly, if you have
access to Flash
8, I would advise converting the avi to a Flash flv ..
wonderful quality at
a fraction of the file size.

Problems Importing Files Into Dreamweaver

I have previously imported files in Dreamweaver by dragging them from my desktop & dropping them into my websites local files. Suddenly today, I can't get any files to import into Dreamweaver. I am using Dreamweaver 13.2 on a Mac with OS 10.9.2.

Nothing. I drag the files from my desktop to the target folder in Dreamweaver, and nothing happens. I have tried shutting everything down & bringing it all back up, and I have also tried re-saving the file to the desktop. I was putting an html file into Dreamweaver when I noticed it wasn't working, so I tried a Word doc & PDF, all with same results. Out of desperation, I just tried re-synching my website, but (as I expected), nothing changed.

Problem Importing Footage into AE CS5.5

I'm having problems importanting 'avi' video from my Vado HD into AE CS5.5 - the videos playback just fine in Windows Media Player but when imported into After Effects the clip is greyed out & only the audio track is available. I can't understand the problem as the codec must be installed for the Media Player to play the files & I have checked this by loading the footage into GSpot with this result: Codec H264. Name H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. Installed. Really hope some one can help me with this.

Thank you for all your help Mylenium.
I'd already tried MPEGStreamclip with no joy - loads the footage in much the same as AE does [greyed box] & couldn't figure a successful way to convert it.
I was baffled by the wall of text relating to ffmpeg & couldn't figure out how to install/run it let alone convert any footage.
SUPER© was the golden nugget - not much trouble to install & find enough reference online to successfully convert my footage - many thanks.

Problems importing AVI with DV codec to Premiere Pro

Problems importing AVI with DV codec to Premiere Pro (720x564 px, 32 kHz stereo, 24.4 bitrate)
I can't import that video. What can I do?

Svanur,
I agree with Harm. The specs. do not match up correctly. Where did those AVI files come from?
I assume that you are working in PAL-land (and not NTSC-land). Is that correct?
What platform are you working on, Mac, or PC?
When you attempt to Import those AVI files, what is the exact error message that you are getting?
Good luck,
Hunt

Problems importing images into Livecycle Designer 8.0

Hello all,
Recently, I have been having problems importing images into the livecycle forms. I put in the image field and link the image but it would just show a broken link symbol. i usually edit the image in photoshop and save as a jpeg. I can't figure out why Livecycle takes some images but not others.
Please help anyone

Never mind, I figured it out, have to save files in RGB format, not CMYK

Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Issues with Importing 'AVIs' into CS3

I have CS3 and am trying to import AVIs, but am getting no audio or no video, however it seems to be a bit unpredictable. On one computer one file will play with both on the other I get either audio or video but not both.
Have done a lot of reading tonight and can see that I need to be using DV AVI Type II, problem is I have been trying to do that! I have been using Format Factory and have had no luck both with the AVIs and the MPEG files that I have converted. So obviously it is not converting into a usable format.
Can anyone suggest a program that will convert to DV AVI Type II. I have looked at the list on Videohelp but none of them specify that they convert to DV AVI Type II.
I understand that I may loose quality, but am editing videos to go in school seminars and so need to use clips that are relevant and interesting for the students. And given that I have just purchased CS3 I would like to work out how to make it work!!
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Jeff,
To my *knowledge* it only uses the installed system CODECs. Only tip to this was when I added Lagarith, HuffYuv and Black Magic CODECs to the system, they suddenly were available in DMC. Now, this does not prove that it only works with system CODECs (it might have some of its own), but these three were not available, until I installed them.
Over the years, it's proved to be a good program. Yes, it does choke on occasion, but usually very stable, simple and I've yet to have a converted file (unless there was gross OE) not work in the intended app.
So far, 99% of my work with it has been going to DV-AVI's. It has been virtually flawless, even with some odd CODECs in the original files.
I have only tried a handful of others, but have not seen any that I'd rather have to replace DMC.

Problems opening avi into Final Cut

Hi I'm having a real problem importing some raw avi files into final cut 6 and even watching them with quicktime. The problem is, when I open them on my macbook (QT v 7.4.0) i see them fine but on my PowerPC G5 they say 'codec not supported'. I had QT 7.4.1 on the powerPC machine and assumed that was the problem so i followed the advice on these forums and downgraded to v 7.3.1 The problem is i still can't see anything! I then tried installing perian which hasn't helped. The funny thing is that in quicktime it says the format is 'dvsd' with a frame rate of 24.88 where as my macbook claims the format is 'dv' with a framerate of 25 which sounds a lot more likely to me. The installation on the macbook is pretty vanilla with standard leopard and final cut 6 so there is no fancy codecs on there opening the files. I have 34 50min episodes of this stuff and couldn't bare to sit watching my macbook spend the next month encoding it for DVD (i only need to use final cut to add a titles sequence). Any help would be much appreciated!

I know, you are correct about using a PC but i don't have one with any decent editing/DVD software on. All i need to do is delete the title sequences on the video and add one I have created using motion. Plus, i have already created all the DVD menus using DVD studio and the idea of going to and from a PC to a MAC so much makes my head start to hurt.
I think it's the fact that my macbook will open the files happily in final cut (with a little warning that 'the files are not optimised for final cut') but that my big mac won't is what i find really frustrating!

Problems importing movies into Keynote

I have been using Keynote for a couple of years (now using Keynote 08 on a MacBook running 10.5.5). I recently started having problems importing movie files into my Keynote presentations. I usually just drag a .mov file and it plays with no problems, but lately when I do this it doesn't appear on the Keynote slide and when I play the presentation I get only audio w/ no video. I tried importing the files to quicktime and exporting them again to be sure they were in the correct format. This seemed to work a few times, but now that isn't working either. Any suggestions?

I'm having what sounds like the same problem. I have Quick Time video from a Flip Cam that I want to use in a KeyNote presentation. I added the movie successfully at first, but when I opened the file to continue work, it appeared as a black box. It has sound, but no image. I can see it ok in the navigator. I've searched the forum for answers, but haven't found anything that works yet.
Does the display setting have anything to do with this? One of the computers I work on has the display set to use with a LED projector. Thanks

Problem importing pictures into lightroom 5.4 on a Mac.

I have lighroom 5.4 on a Mac and I am having some trouble importing pictures into my library on lightroom. The other day I was trying to import some from another folder in my computer and the files were showing up empty (although they were not). And today I was trying to import from an SD card and I was having the same problem. I shoot in raw on a Nikon. So what can I do to fix this problem?
This is what it looks like when I try to import

Ask in the LR forum and provide exact technical info - "I shot raw on Nikon" and "on a Mac" is not.

Importing moview into Dreamweaver

I've imported a movie into Dreamweaver, I set the movie fill
to the same colour as the background in Dreamweaver. I don't like
the way when I go to the website I'm working on a white box appears
before the movie starts to run. Is there some other setting I
should have changed to the same colour as the background too? It
just doesn't look very good.
Also, the stroke line seems to be a slightly different colour
even though I've set everything to the same hex code in Flash.
Thanks

Hi mikehx,
It has been quite some ages for me to use PageMill (and
SiteMill). Like others have said, lot has changed since PageMill
and these days with Dreamweaver.
Along with transition from PageMill to Dreamweaver, I would
think that it is fair for me to say -- learn some HTML and CSS.
Because it is what it is. The more comfort zone you work with HTML
(and CSS), then you feel more comfortable working with any web
authoring application, perhaps with Dreamweaver CS3.
I would think that you probably feel overwhelmed with
Dreamweaver as to get used to use this app, because it is rather
much more powerful HTML editing application around Dreamweaver as
opposed to PageMill.
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
Cheers, Brian

will have to inspect the hundreds of pages individually?

How to import Muse into Dreamweaver

I am trying to import my muse website into Dreamweaver because i want do design my website in muse and then use PHP and MySQL to make blogs and membership systems etc. When I open dreamweaver and right-click on the Muse website and press "Open With - Dreamweaver", it starts opening it (it only opens the Muse website and just shows a blank HTML)... then Dreamweaver stops responding and i have to close it. If there is any way of making a membership system and blog in Muse (which only certain people can edit [not using Muse]) then please reply an answer... or if possible can people please respond on how to open a muse website in dreamweaver.
Thanks in Advance
Richard

As a non-coding designer, I'd rather design and hand off or collaborate with a Dreamwear person who can do the html coding and maintenance. My interest is in what the viewer sees and how they use it, not necessarily know how to create code. Most of us know how to drive a car, but few know how to build one. Rather than let Muse become a "whipping post" and the bane of all Dreamweaver coders, perhaps Adobe might entertain the idea of making Muse files Dreamweaver friendly. They certainly have accomplished this in other areas ala Creative Suite. Business Catalyst is just their answer solutiion, but for many clients, isn't the way they conduct their business.
So in the meantime, it would great if people who are Dreamweaver evangelists provide some insight about figuring out how best to make things work. I mean it's you folks that are working under the hood. And, I respect that.
Thanks,
David

Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks. Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom.
The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes. When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
After reading on various forums I have tried:
restarting computer (many times)
uninstalling previous version of LR
purging video cache
changing source location
changing destination and/or import type
reinstalling LR5.3
I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3. They play fine in Quicktime.
Has anyone else solved this problem?

Hi InVisionMedia
I found a Simular Poste regarding this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5397854
So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

Importing avi into Imovie, i loose Quality

OK.....
I'm importing avi files from my PC to my Mac. File sizes are around 1.2 GB each. When i import them to Imovie, takes about 10 minutes to, and when the files are imported, the quality is not good. BUT! when i import these files into IDVD and place them in a menu screen on IDVD, they look great! So ? What do i need to do so when i import my .avi video files, i won't loose quality when importing them to imovie. These files are uncompressed and come from a home design software. Please post ASAP with answers i need to resolve this issue for a client of mine. Thanks everyone!
Taylor

Never judge by what you see in iMovie, the playback is bad. Always judge by what you see on a TV (via DV camera or iDVD and DVD player).
