Problems With Camptasia AVI File in Premiere CS4

Hi everyone,
I need help with the creating a video in Premiere CS4 using some Camptasia AVI files. I have used Camptasia to include a voice-over into a presentation and then saved it as an AVI file. I was able to include that AVI file into my Project in CS4 and edit it there adding to video files transferred from the camera. The problem came up when I tried to export the CS Project as an AVI or FLV file. It does not save the entire video but rather saves only the first couple of minutes of it. Can someone recommend me what to do?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The problem is in the file itself. You set up your project in premiere at 30fps and imported file from camtasia studio does not have that frame rate. Camtasia does not have a good and fast enough codeck that would record 30fps. So premiere will try to recompress your file to proper structure with 30fps thus will give you the output of a very short file.
Camtasia have another software that is designed to capture needed frame rate but it is available only to the big companies.
I have tried this soft and ran into this problem and camtasia replied to me whit statement that this soft is not designed to capture full frame rate video.

Problems with embedding .flv files in DW CS4....

I inserted an .flv file into my DW CS4 html page. I previewed it in my browser, and it worked for a little bit, but now it's not working in any browser, I'm not sure what happened. I included a screen shot in the attachments of what was happening in all the browsers.
Thanks for any help,
Thank you,

Audio timing problems with publishing AVI files... Desperate for suggestions!...anyone?

I could really use someone's suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue. Been working on this issue for 6 weeks, with no solution in sight.
I have created demonstration tutorials in Captivate 4, (purchased, not demo) and am using the text to speech (Kate's voice) as the audio. I am trying to get an AVI file as the final product, as I will be publishing this on YouTube.
When I publish the file as an AVI, the audio does not sync with the video. (The audio is slightly faster, so when I get to the 15th slide, the audio is ahead of the video.) However, when I publish to an SWF file, the audio syncs perfectly.
I had been working with Adobe Tech Support, and their feeling was that my file was corrupted. So I created a brand new file, new recordings, etc, even made this file shorter (3 minutes long), and I experienced the same problem. Deleted all non-used files. Working on the local drive, not on the network.
To troubleshoot this, we recently reformatted the hard drive on this machine, took every program off, defragmented, so the system is very lean and clean. We reinstalled Captivate and all the updates from the Adobe website links, in case our CD version of the app was corrupt.
Added more memory, so now we have 3 GIG of memory.
Running XP, the only installed programs are MS Office, Kasperski, and Captivate.
I restarted, and do not have any other program actively running (except Kasperski)
Does anyone have any experience with the same problem, or suggestions on what else I can do to fix this problem?
I will send you virtual Karma points if you can help me.
Thanks for reading this!

Hi again
Thanks for the Karma thought!
As an aside, I try to do all my banking at the First Universal Bank of Karma! W00T!
On the TTS bit I'd be totally shocked to discover it were a factor. This is because the only thing that happens with it (as near as I can tell) is that the text is converted to a WAV/MP3 file same as would occur by virtue of recording one using a microphone. So I figure a WAV is a WAV is a WAV.
Then again, I never claim to know it all about anything. Then again, I also think anyone that DOES claim to know all there is to know is either foolhardy or a pompous donkey.
Cheers and good luck! Rick

Sound problems with an .avi file?

Hello all,
I am working on a presentation where there is a background
loop .wav and some .avi files. When the .avi files have audio I am
dropping the volume of the loop. I made the loop a new sound with
the code below and set up a global so that I could properly target
the sound. The code is below.
// set up the global so that bgMusic can be targeted from
other scenes
_global.musicTimeLine = this;
// make a new Sound called bgMusic
// loopwav is the linked name of the .wav file
bgMusic = new Sound();
bgMusic.attachSound("loopwav");
bgMusic.start();
trace(bgMusic.getVolume());
I then drop the volume on the frames with .avi movies with
audio with:
// drop the volume of bgMusic
musicTimeLine.bgMusic.setVolume(20);
Does anyone know why this is also affecting the audio in the
.avi file? Thanks to anyone who can help!
EW

It may be because new Sound() is a global sound controller.
Meaning that it will affect any and all sounds within your movie.
Try associating the Sound with a movieclip. For example,
bgMusic = new Sound(this);
Then changing properties of the bgMusic sound object should
only affect the sounds in that movieclip and not globally.
Also, not sure if this is true for FLV and MP3 files brought
in using the FLV component.

Is microsoft avi the highest quality format to export an avi file in premiere pro cs4?

Hello,
I exported an avi file in premiere pro cs4 in media encoder using Microsoft avi format but the quality turned out poor on dvd, what's the highest quality format I can use?
Please help
Thanks
Elio

Elio,
As has been stated, DV-AVI is not the format FOR a DVD-Video. However, it can be used (and often is) as a transport medium into a DVD authoring program, like Encore.
Can you please outline your workflow from PrPro to the final DVD, and is it a DVD-Video (will contain MPEG-2 material in VOB "containers"), or a DVD-Data, that is then played on a computer with something like Windows Media Player, VLC, MediaPlayer Classic HC, etc.?
Good luck, and please let us know exactly what you are doing, and the programs used.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
Still same problem, nothing has changed.
It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
My system: (Laptop)
Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas what might be wrong?

dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...
cfrepair utility:
http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/SiliconImaging_support.html
cineform codec (neo player)
http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec

Importing .avi file into Premiere CS5 and losing on quality

Hello Adobe users,
I'm having a problem with importing my material in Premiere CS5. It's file extension is .avi and I'm not sure which step I do wrong to get his but it's pretty important to me to find out what's the problem.
Every time I try to import material which was captured on another computer, I get it all lossy in Premiere and it's really obvious.
Maybe I make mistake with opening new project?
I'm not sure which camera is used, but I'm sure it's Panasonic and it films in cinemascope (widescreen).
I would really appreciate your help here!
Thanks in advance, Filip!

Flip,
Welcome to the forum.
AVI can hold all sorts of things, and those will be all important in addressing your problem. This ARTICLE goes into more detail, and shows how to "peek inside the AVI wrapper." Please let us know what CODEC is used in that file.
How are you Importing/Capturing the AVI file?
What Sequence Preset was chosen?
Good luck,

Tempo problems with imported wav files

Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

Hi,
First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
regards, Erik.

What kind of audio did the camera record? For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4. If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected. This thread may help:
