RENDER and AVI and CODEC issues

I've ripped a DVD clip from Handbrake-- AVI file and Codec is AVC/H.264 video/MPS audio (that's how it is) and it will go into FCP ok and to the timeline. It needs rendered and so begins the problem.
It says, there's a "render error and not enough disk space/free up with render manager?" There's PLENTY of space. I deleted all rendering in the render manager for good measure and I have 350 internal GB of space and 500GB external HD. Room is not a problem.
Never had this problem before. Suggestions?

why is Final Cut giving me a Render error when I clearly have plenty of space and it's never done this before.
You converted the files to the wrong format...pure and simple. FCP doesn't like dealing with those codecs. I think it's bad that it even lets them work initially...because it leads people into the false belief that FCP will work with those formats.
The codec you chose is one FCP doesn't work with, that is why you have having issues. You need to convert to formats you find in the EASY SETUP list. ProRes is the HD codec of choice.
Trashing preferences won't help. You need to convert ALL of your footage to the proper format, give those new files the same names as the ones you are working with now....and relink to the new files. And then fix the sequence settings to match. THis is a big mess that will take effort to fix.

Itunes / Front Row mp4 and avi and xvid

Hello.
I have started collecting and moving my videos to my macbook.
From my linux/windows days I have avi xvid/divx files.
I have divx player installed on my mac and those files play fine if I click on them.
They also will play if I put them in my movie folder and use front row.
If I try to move avi and xvid to itunes. They will not import.
I assume this is the case becuase itunes is only allowing files into itunes lib that will sync and play on a vid ipod?
However with the move to appleTV and such there are those that are going to want a HQ video that maynot sync on ipod.
Basicly, I just need to know what format I need to start experimenting as far as size/quality ratio so that I can move my vids to that format.
Thanks for your help.

Close... Quicktime has to be able to support the formats for them to be accepted into iTunes.

Some JPG and AVI files imported from camera to iphoto, but not all

I just imported from camera to iPhoto using card reader and half the pics and a couple movies came over. The rest aren't recognized by my iMac, even though they say JPG and AVI and still run fine on camera. I installed Perian plugin a while back at the recommendation of one of you, which solved that problem and I just installed the recent update. I used time machine to restore old version, but that didn't work. I don't know if this is a Quicktime (v 7.4.1) issue or a problem with the flashcard. I tried opening via photoshop and iMovie. Photoshop CS3's message says "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found." iMovie, when I try to drag movie into it says "The file could not be imported: ... Quicktime couldn't parse it: -2048". Hopefully one of you knows what is going on. Thanks!!!

Are you running a "referenced" or "managed" library?
Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Compressor MPEG and AVI

about 6 months ago when I was shopping for an edit system a big thing I noticed was that apple advertised for a third party plugin that allowed compressor to make windows format media files such as mpeg and avi and now I am in a position where I need to make those formats and was wondering if anybody could help me locate it and also if you have used it, is it good?
thanks,

Hi
I used Flip4Mac trial for Windows Media and works really good (I believe is the same as Episode). Here's the link: https://store3.esellerate.net/store/checkout/CustomLayout.aspx?s=STR1307002805&p c=&page=OnePageCatalog.htm
The one I use is VisualHub wich is easy of use, really cheap and works great on different formats (Flash, WMV, AVI, MPEG, etc). But it's an external application so you've to export your movie and then convert it with VisualHub.
Hope that helped.

AERender render only mode, restricted codecs, and errors

There is a page here detailing how to put aerender into restricted mode, so that a license key isn't required.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79a3 a.html#WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79a2a
There is a page here explaining that we can use "network rendering (aerender and watch folder) without activation of render-only nodes" and that a limitation is "In this mode, some codec-specific features are disabled—primarily use of MPEG codecs."
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2012/04/after-effects-cs6-whats-new-and-changed.html
Does anyone know what codecs specifically work and which ones don't? I don't know how anyone is supposed to know this. I've tried testing but I get stuck because everytime I enable render only mode, I get an error saying:
aerender ERROR: No output module template was found with the given name.
Which doesn't make any sense, because when I disable render only mode everything works fine. I've tried with a number of different templates and it happens to all of them, h264 mp4 and 3gp, m2v, png sequence, and lossless AVI.

MPEG CoDecs are H.264 and all MPEG-2 flavors as well as MP3 audio and that. The other error could merely point to permission issues when in render mode, but naturalyl, if you do this on teh same system, the render only version will stil lread your normal prefs, which could include references to the then invalid output modules...

Using AVI files in FCP and the 3ivx codec

Hello there,
My video camera only films in .AVI files which the Mac cannot 'see' although the audio is fine. From my research it seems like the only codec available to allow you to 'see' the video on .AVI is the 3ivx codec which I downloaded before and which worked fine but then the trial ran out and left nasty watermarks all over my files which were a pain to get rid of. Is buying the codec the only thing to do? Has anyone bought the codec, so I know it's a safe website?
What I had been doing to avoid the codec was using iSquint to convert to mp4 and then using that file in editing software, then converting that to a youtube friendly file and then on to youtube itself, meaning that all the compression left the youtube video very very blurry.
Is the codec my only option?
Thanks for your help on this, it's driving me mental.

What camera only shoots 3ivx, Jenni?
And have you tried Perian yet? It will allow Quicktime to read 3ivx along with many other otherwise unsupported codecs. Suck it and see ... some users have issues with Perian installed, others get along with it just fine.
Converting to mp4 for editing is not recommended, nor is editing in 3ivx or any AVI wrapped codec for that matter. Convert it instead to a proper intraframe editing codec (such as good old fashioned DV) ... you can use the free MPEG Streamclip for this

Issues with QT and avi

I have read a good bit on this...and tried most things. The issue I have is I downloaded this avi movie from this site http://orange.blender.org/download. Right click on the German link and save as...It is a demo of 3d animation. My friend can download it and watch it fine in QT. However I cannot. If I have the xvid codec in my Library/quicktime folder, I get a white screen and nothing else. If I remove the xvid codec from that folder it crashes and says "not responding" in the force quit menu. Sometimes when I click on the movie, it will popup and say additional software is needed to view this video...sure would be nice if it told me WHAT software...instead, I click a button to go to a page that now shows me like 15 different apps to download and I am not going to load all that crap on my machine.
The file itself when I got to window->show movie properties has the format beside the video file as mp42 and soundtrack is AC3.
I have all the latest software updates. I installed divx and xvid and tried them separately (not having both installed at the same time).
Can anyone give me any ideas on this one please? I have about 6 other avi movies in my library that all play fine. But I assume they use a different codec. Oh and I also have flip4mac installed as well.
Thank you for your time.

Also plays fine using VLC Media Player.

AVI and JPEG will not play or render

Ordinarily importing a jpg or avi file for use in a FCP project is a sure thing. But after easily importing some files from a disc, I could neither see the jpgs in my viewer, nor could I render the avi file in my timeline.
These are graphics built in Auto Cad and animated in Sketch Up.
I have FCP Academic version that I bought in 2004.
Thanks.
Roxane

Michael,
After trying to play with Compressor and having no luck (probably because I don't understand the application), I purchased Quicktime Pro and made a .mov file by opening the .avi on the disc, then saving as as self-contained movie. I then imported it into Final Cut Pro, and it plays beautifully. (I hope I can speed it up just as I would a video clip!)
Thanks for your guidance.

Missing .wmv and .avi codecs in AME CS6 Master Collection installed!!?

I have AME CS6 with Master Collection... the Help documents say I should have codecs for .wmv and .avi, but they are missing from my installation... how do I get these codecs?
Thanks all!

How do I export an AVI file from a Mac?
Using CS6, Media Encoder 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2.
You would need to buy an application called Flip4Mac from Telestream. There's a free tryout version, but it only transcodes half the clip.
With it, you can transcode to any sort of Windows-centric media.

Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
My System:
WinXP Pro SP2
2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
Intel PERL mobo
3GB 400MHz RAM
NVidia 7800GS video
I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
etc) when using any CS3 app.
The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono
channels LAME3.96r, 717436 KB.
footage5.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six

Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
"planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

FCP and AVI DV Type 1

Hi all
I was just wondering whether or not AVI files of the type 'DV Type 1' are able to come seamlessly into FCP 5.1.2? Or will it be necessary to render the files out in order to edit them?
Best
Jamil

I tried Canopus and upon starting to open the file I received a "The source file cannot be converted by this application.". I also tried another .avi type 2 file that was less than 2GB in size. Guessing it is some incompatibility or codec issue. If anyone has any suggestions here, let me know.
I found the Ulead type to type 2 converter. Sure enough it mangled the audio towards the end as had been reported in a post.
DVDate appears to have done the trick. I emailed the author to verify it just re-wraps. If anyone has any experience with DVDate let me know.
By the way, is there a way to tell if a .avi file has been re-enoded from another by using Gspot or another utility?
Here are some notes from another post and a link to DVDate. I don't think the last comment is correct re: DVDate an audio though.

Importing AVI and ProRes422 into Final Cut X

After finally thinking Final Cut X was ready, I upgraded only to discover a number of issues. Sony's Memory Recording Unit, which I've used to record .AVI videos imported these files directly into Final Cut Studio 7. This is not the case with Final Cut X.
I used Compressor 3 to turn these AVI files to Apple ProRes422 and played the converted videos on QuickTime player -no problem. When I import these ProRes422 files into Final Cut X (10.0.4) the audio does not import.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,
I appreciate the thought that the audio is still compressed - maybe it is - I don't know. However, what I do know is this:
1) Final Cut Studio 7 imported these AVI files directly and they worked without a problem.
2) The .avi files are being generated using the Sony Memory Recording Unit - the recording unit used with Sony's professional line of camcorders (not your consumer camcorders).
3) I used Apple's own Compressor 3 - using the DEFAULT settings for Apple ProRes 422 conversion and the converted product HAS AUDIO.
4) Both the AVI and ProRes 422 mov files work in Quicktime Player - both audio and video
- and -
5) Final Cut X is supposed to be Apple's PROFESSIONAL replacement for the Professional Final Cut Studio 7.
If this was iMovie and the codec for the audio or video wasn't included in the application, well, it's free and I would understand. But, in this case, this is an expensive, professional product and it should include ALL CODECS (with some very minor exceptions for very, very odd codecs). AVI is NOT a minor exception - especially being generated by one of the MAJOR Professional Video Camcorder companies - Sony.
I'm hoping someone else has a better solution than converting, trying, failing, oh well.... NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Fix the product - include the Codec's - make it work!
If it works in Quicktime, it should, absolutely work in Final Cut X or any other professional video product that Apple produces. Simple.
Anyone else with an answer?

PRE 7 and AVI format?

Some time back I had some problems with importing video to my machine because I had upgraded the machine and the converter didn't work. I recently got a new converter (honestTech VHS to DVD 3.0), which appears to have read a video in fine. However, I would still like to use Premiere Elements to edit the video a bit (add chapters/menu/etc.). The software that comes with the converter can convert to AVI and DV-AVI, but I cannot find documentation anywhere about which version of AVI (or DV-AVI) and which codec to use for PRE. Any help letting me know what code and format would be great ... Thanks in advance! Ken

Ideally, you want DV-AVI Type II with 48KHz 16-bit Audio. This will use the MS DV CODEC. The Audio sample-size and bit-rate will possibly have to be set within the program. Now, if you can only get DV-AVI Type I (like the files from Windows Movie Maker), they will work, though there could be some Audio issues. It is not uncommon to experience OOS (Out Of Sync) and other Audio problems with these. I use DigitalMedia Converter to go from DV-AVI Type I to Type II, but there are freeware converters available.
Good luck,
Hunt
