Question about putting video clips together

I am trying to put clips together in Premier Elements 12 using Windows 7 Professional. I keep getting an error message: "This thype of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
I admit that the clips are mostly jpeg and Flip video. I have installed the Flipshare software on the computer. What can I do to put these clips together? I saw an answer that mentioned exporting the BBB.prel Timeline to an appropriate file saved to the computer hard drive and then import that file into AAA.prel, using AAA.prel's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets from where you drag the import to the Expert workspace Timeline to join the AAA.prel content already there.
But I don't know how to export, and what is an "appropriate file"?
Thanks.

We need more information in order to resolve your issue.
Are you saying that you cannot import even .jpeg photos into your Premiere Elements 12 Windows project...and your Flip video as well?
a. Were these jpeg processed in Photoshop? Do you know if they have the CMYK color profile? What are their pixel dimensions (width and height in pixels)?
b. What is the brand/model/settings of the camera producing the Flip video?
With the above information we can get at the media and program compatibility issue(s) that might be triggering the message "This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed."
You say that you have installed "Flipshare software" to your computer. What do you intend to do with it? If you are thinking to use it to convert the problem files into another format that Premiere Elements will accept, we still need to know the properties of what you are working with and set Premiere Elements accordingly.
The concept of using content from one Premiere Elements project file into another Premiere Elements project file does not apply to the situation that you describe for your issue.
You need to describe what you have for media and then we can proceed from there.
The brand/model/settings for the camera that produced the Flip video is a good start.
MediaInfo and gspot are programs to get at the properties of your video. But the brand/model/settings information may be all that we need.

Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo. what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes
but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo.
what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Questions about editing video clips, images and text

I'm using the Expert mode and I'm having trouble with figuring out how to do certain things.
1. I'm superimposing a picture of a scoreboard on my video and then I superimpose a text object on top of that so I can update the scores throughout the video. I've placed on instance of the text object on my "Video 3" and now I want to change the score. So I created another instance on the same "Video 3" timeline. Now I want to close the gap between the two instances. I would expect to be able to click on the gap in between and delete it but nothing happens. I would also expect to be able to double click on the instance to access the specific start and end times that I see when I hover over it. But again nothing happens. So I've been magnifying the timeline so I can manually drag the two instances together. Is there an easier and more precise way to close the gap?
2. Is there an easier way to periodically change a text object without creating a bunch of instances? My "project assets" folder is getting filled up quickly because the score is constantly getting updated and I keep creating a new instance for each score change.
3. Is there a way to permanently combine two seperate video clips? I've used the "group" option but there is still a divider that reminds me that the two were seperate. I'd like to be able to combine the two and for it to look as if it was always just one large clip.
4. When I use the scissors to cut a section out of the middle of a clip, the blue marker that shows where I am currently in the video stays in place. So each time I cut out a section, I have to manually drag the blue marker over to the new beginning that was at the end of all the stuff I just cut. Is there a preference to have the blue marker stay with you when you edit instead of it suddenly being far ahead of you in the editing process?
Thanks!

Other than doing Duplicates of your Title, and editing those, as needed, the only other option would be to create the Titles in another program, such as Photoshop, then Save those as PSD's, to be Imported into PrE. The one downside of doing that, is that to edit those PSD "titles" is to Open them in Photoshop - the PrE Titler will not open them for the additional editing.
PrE does not have as much power to organize Assets, such as Titles, as does Premiere Pro, with both Bins and Folders (later versions). I always create a Bin, for my Titles, or even several Bins, for different types of Titles in the Project.
Maybe others will have a workflow, that I have not considered, so we both might learn something.
Good luck,
Hunt

Question about embedded video clips

Hello all,
I'm importing embedded video clips for the first time today
and have run into what I'm sure is commonly understood by everyone
else here. The video clip takes up as many frames as the video, but
if I add frames after that, the clip starts to loop.
What I want is for the clip to play once then remain
displayed with the last frame visible to the end of the scene
timeline. I'm guessing I need to place a script on the clip or
something similar to keep it from looping? Thank you for any
direction on this.
Best regards,
Scott

just place it in a Graphic symbol (which is an option in the
import wizard) or create a new graphic
symbol and drag the video icon from library to it - place
instance of Graphic symbol on stage -
select it and tell it to Play Once in Properties.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD.

How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD as a movie. And what export setting do I use to play on a DVD player?

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

Linking two video clips together

I cannot find the way, how to link two video clips together so, that when moving one, the linked clip follows.
Is there a way of doing that?
The manual gives nothing with words: "linking video clips".
Message was edited by: TRST

You can't link video clips to each other. You can nest them. Put the two clips in a sequence the way you want them. Put the sequence with the two clips inside your master sequence. They will act as a single clip. That's the only way.

Putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) getting error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help thanks

premier elements12, putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help.

Thanks for the reply.
Some general comments...
Regarding:
THERE ANY WAY I CAN PUT MULTIPLE RANDUM TRANSITIONS IN TO THE TIME LINE WITH JUST ONE CLICK ? .
There is no transition choice for random transitions across the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Timeline. But, the Elements Organizer 12/Create Menu/Slideshow and its Slideshow Editor does have that random transition choice. So, one possibilitity would be to create your slideshow in Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor and then move the slideshow into Premiere Elements with the Output of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command.
Pending more details of the slideshow you are creating, I think that you would get your best photo quality and overall results staying with Premiere Elements 12 workspace (1080p) project and the transitions randomized manually.
perhaps applying the default to all (all at the same time),
using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition,
and then replacing transitions randomly for the random transition look).
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

Questions about Air Video.

Hi, I have a couple of questions about Air Video for the Ipad. I have my Mac Pro downstairs and my PC upstairs. Does the Ipad have to be near the computer in order for the videos to play on the Ipad? I have a bunch of videos on my external hard drive. Would it work if I have an external hard drive plugged into the computer or do the videos need to be on the computer itself?

Air video will convert the video for streaming, this includes downscaling it, so it will stream smoothly over the bandwidth available on the network.
Placing media directly on the ipad allows 720p video.
Reality is you will not be able to tell the difference between dvd resolution and hi def on a screen the size of the iPad's.

How do i put Video clips into Imovie, Without Iphoto?

Im using Imovie for a school project, and i need to put video clips into it. But for some reason my mac doesnt have Iphoto, and i've read online that the only way to do this, is through Iphoto??? Does anybody know otherwise?? please help!!

If you have a supported camcorder or camera you should be able to import your video directly to imovie from the camera. If the video is already on you computer, select the imovie File menu, then select import to library and navigate to the movie files you want to import. The article below should help you

I downloaded movies from my ipad to my mac and they went directly into iphoto. In imovie, I want to put these clips together and when I go to events or albums where these are located, they aren't there. Help!

I downloaded movies from my ipad2 to my Mac and they went directly into iphoto. In imovie, I want to put these clips together but when I go to find the movies in events or albums where they are stored, they are not there. So, they show up in iphoto, but not I movie. I tried exporting them to desktop then to imovie, that didn't work either. Please help! How do I get my movie clips from my ipad2 to show up in imovie when creating?

They are not in the "events library" of imovie.

General questions about imported video and audio clips

Hey guys. I'm a new Apple convert so forgive me if I ask extremely stupid questions.
1. If I import a video file that has audio in it, am I able to separate the audio from the video? I want to edit in pictures over some of the video but keep the audio playing over it. Is this possible in FCE?
2. I've started a project on FCE and I can't hear the audio from an mp3 file I downloaded. I know I have to convert it to an AIFF file (which I thought I did, at 16bits), but I still can't hear it. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for the reply. As to my first question, I assume then when I import a video clip with audio on it, FCE will automatically split the two?
As to my second question, thanks for the link, but I already tried it and still no audio. Is there something I need to fix in the playback? I'm still not clear on what the RT tab does. Maybe it's something with that?

How do you import/where do you put video clips?

With my Windows Vista PC, video clips taken by my iPhone or digital camera were imported by Windows Photo Gallery and stored in the same directories as the photos. These videos could then be synced via iTunes in the Photo tab, when you selected a photo directory that contained video files and clicked on the "Include videos" box.
Now on my new iMac, I see the same "include videos" box under the Photo tab for any given iOS device in iTunes. But, iPhoto did not import even my iPhone-created videoes when I migrated my photo library.
So my question (i'm a mac newbie in case it was not clear): How do I need to setup the video import process so that camera and iPhone videos are stored in the places they need to be, so that they can be synced in iTunes during photo sync? Does iPhoto need to be configured in some way to import the video, or am I supposed to use iMovie to import video clips into a library which can be used by iTunes for syncing during the photo sync process? Or is there some other program I have to configure? When I connect cameras with video clips, my iMac is not bringing up any program by default to import the video - is there some sort of configuration option I am supposed to select?
Second question: I have a lot of video clips in avi format created by older digital camers. What format do I need to convert them to in order to get them into a format which can be imported into a library and synced to my iOS devices? Previously on my PC, I converted the AVI files to MP4 format, and it worked just fine. However, again iPhoto did not recognize these files (maybe if I get question #1 answered this will no longer be an issue).
Thanks,
JB

I guess the reason I like the iPhoto approach is that it arranges my photos chronologically/as events, which makes it easier for me to view. I also like that I can sync my videos by event. This workflow works for me because I have a tendency to make a lot of video and only get around to editing later, but often still like to look at the raw video from time to time. Meanwhile, I note that viewing clips in iMovie is far less convenient - clearly this is for editing only rather than viewing. So if I understood it correctly, to do it this way, I should convert video clips in iMovie to, I guess, the *.mov format and move those into iPhoto, yes?
I just took a video with my iPhone and confirmed that iPhoto did import it. However, I still can't figure out why iPhoto did not see the existing iPhone mov files in my PC photo library from the USB hard drive when it imported all other photos from the same. I then dragged and dropped some of those mov files manually into iPhoto, and this worked... but not well. Those videos got arranged as a separate event, and then I had to go and put them back into the correct event.
I have hundreds of photo subdirectories from the PC library, and I don't remember which ones have iPhone video files. Is there a way to search the entire photo directory for *.mov files and drag them from there into iPhoto? If I could then see the file name or time/date stamp of the individual mov files, I could then sort the mov files manually into the correct events.
What if I were to make iPhoto reimport from this photo directory, with the hopes that it would automatically pick up the mov files? Would I get duplicates of existing imports by this method?
Finally - am I correct in assuming that I only have to convert my existing avi video clips to mov format in order for iPhoto to be able to handle them?

Help - Can I bring video clips together just like a downloaded TV Show is?

I have a series of short videos which are currently in iTunes. Each clip is a separate file but from a series. The files are separately sectioned within iTunes and not under a single entity, like a TV Show is if you download the entire series.
I have put in groupings, artist etc, to sort them together, but I was wondering if there was anyway of bring them together under 1 banner, just as if it was a TV Show.

Nevermind, i've just worked out a way. If I put them all under 1 Album name, it groups all the video clips. Then it sorts them in order of Grouping, etc.

Edit video clips together..?

Hello. This may be a crazy question. I looked at the product information for QuickTime Pro but I could not find an answer to this question.
With QT Pro can you edit together various small video clips that are taken with video camera (say 15 to 30 seconds in length each).. to make a small mini-video. Plus, even add a soundtrack.. and maybe even a few pictures..etc.
Is this possible with QT Pro. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rick

As long as the files from the camera are supported by QuickTime the Pro upgrade can be used to edit and make new files. It does not edit MPEG-1 formats.
QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks".

Easy Question about resizing video

I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
In my old program "Premiere', to resize and move a video around was very easy. You could adjust the scale and X-Y values numerically, or you could use a Free Transform like in Photoshop. Simply dragging bounding boxes for size and aspect and also dragging the clip to decide it's location.
The only way I know how to do this in FCP is I double click a clip in the sequence, it loads into the viewer, I go to the Motion Tab and then I can adjust the Scale, which is cool. But then I'm left with the Distort section to adjust position (and aspect if need be). In the Distort section there are 8 numeric fields of info to figure out and fill out just to get one clip in a different position correctly.
I'm thinking there must be another way to adjust the location (or aspect) of a video clip without spending a bit of time on exact coordinates, I want to eye-ball where I want the clip to go and simply move it there. Is the Distort feature the only way to do this? If not, which is the fastest way to move and change the dimension of a clip.
Thanks for reading, I hope there is another way, I'm not use to these calculations and they're slowing me down.
Monty

I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
That's because it's not a simple question at all and yet every one of those threads was related to the OP's question. As you discovered, there are lots of ways to interpret "resize," during capture, editing, effects, output, viewing, encoding, printing. But the solution was even simpler than you thought. All you had to do was open the manual or the online help system. Start taking the manuals to the gym with you. FCP is not Premiere. You're going to hate FCP, you're going to love FCP but it will never behave like Premiere beyond the elements of the functional paradigm. Forget Premiere.
