Save as .avi

Hi, how can i save the video as .avi? My Adobe offers me only the option .prel. Thanks, Eliska

We can give you specific information if you let us know the version of Premiere Elements that you are using and the computer operating system
on which it is running.
As an example...Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit in a program set up for NTSC....
The .prel file extension is being used as the project file from which you export a file with the .avi file extension.
Remember .avi is just a file extension which can wrap a variety of different video and audio compressions. But, here
is the general path for this example for an export of DV.AVI Standard 4:3.
In the opened project after your import/edit, go to Publish+Share/Computer/AVI and set Presets = to what you need.
In this case, select DV NTSC Standard. There are other choices in a drop down list for Presets. And, if you click on
the Advanced Button in that area, you can customize the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab settings.
But be on guard...the AVI choice is at the bottom of the list. You will not see that choice until you scroll down the list
using the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please let us know. The answers will be in the details.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.

How to save an AVI w/ as many FPS as possible w/o color decection interfering?

Hi,
I can't seem to solve this somewhat basic programming logic problem: using a CCD I want to detect a color change in real time (at any FPS rate >10 FPS) and save the video with as many frames per second as the camera can give (71 FPS or as close to it as possible).
The camera is up to 71 FPS but my color detection takes too long to run one iteration of the while loop so I only get effectively 10-11 FPS in my AVI file. 10 FPS is acceptable for the detection response but ideally I would also save an AVI of the process at 71 FPS for historical record that can be further analyzed. I realize what I need is a way to quickly run the 'save to avi' on every available frame (71 FPS) and then in parallel sample 1 in every 7-8 frames for image detection processing (to get the 10 FPS the coding/CPU+RAM limits it to). I can't seem to write a program that can do the two in parallel without the color detection bogging down my save to AVI or without getting some sort of camera session invalid error.
Someone more clever and experienced please share some logic with me. My attempts with different while loops or conditional case structures just arent improving the FPS. I have attached the most basic version of my program; it achieves what I want but the FPS in this case are going to be equal in both the dection and avi.
Thank you in advance for your time and patience, I am just a student in over my head as usual....

Final Live Detection with save_one loop.vi ‏101 KB

I formatted the code to fit the producer consumer loops but I am not seeing any improvement in the frame rate / frames per second. The way I set it is that every 4th loop iteration of the 'save to avi', one frame gets passed to the detection. Unfortunately I am still only getting about 12-13 FPS and it doesn't get faster as I decrease the amount of frames passed to detection.
Because I didn't see any improvement I ran the 'save to avi file' sequence in its own VI. I found with out any color detection the resulting AVI is still only 12-13 FPS. This means the very simple program (attached) is running much too slow yet I don't see any other way of aquire images and making it into a movie; I am only using the basic IMAQ dx subVIs. Can anyone offer a solution or improvement? Is this data handling or memory related? I am on a fairly new PC...
Thanks in advance

Save to AVI

Hi everyone.
I am building a simple VI that grabs images and saves them to an AVI file. I am using IMAQdx and the Vision Development toolkit on Win7Pro 64bit.
The challenge is that the standard "Save to AVI" functions in the 64bit Vision Toolkit appear to be malfunctioning accord to this thread. It only lets you choose from 1 of 2 codecs. I have installed tons of codecs, but I can't seem to use them. Tested it on two different machines. The only two codecs that are appearing when calling "IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names.vi" are DV Video Encoder and MJPEG Compressor codecs, which is kind of strange.
So my challenge: Is there some kind of workaround? Any ideas how I can save an AVI in a different manner? Or how I can get more codec choices?
Thanks!

Assuming the problem is a lack of 64 bit codecs (most codecs are 32bit, which makes them unavailable to 64bit programs). Then if you're desperate you could try the SVN version of ffdshow tryouts of which there is a 64bit version.
ffdshow download page
I use an older 32bit version, and takes a bit of work to setup. Which codec you use is set through the ffdshow VFW control panel, LabVIEW just uses the "ffdshow Video Codec" filter. I use the loss-less HuffYUV codec then compress that file later with mencoder. Of course using a bleeding edge SVN copy could be buggy. I'm not sure if it's needed but on my setup I have LabVIEW.exe and the name of my compiled executable in ffdshow's white list (under video decoder configuration/Direct Show Control/Use ffdshow only in).
Another option is to have the video compression handled by a separate 32 bit LabVIEW program. You would need to pass the frame information between the two programs. I would probably use IMAQ Flatten to string and TCP/IP to do most of the work, all this copying data around will probably slow things down quite a bit though.

How do I save an avi from images acquired through buffers?

Hi all,
I recently have started using Labview, mainly for IMAQ purposes. I started by learning how to save images, then how to do just avi's. Now the problem comes up is that I want to find a way to average a bunch of images together in real time. So that as the program runs (I dont have to actually be recording) I can have an out put of what the camera sees, just with maybe 10+ frames averaged together. Best way I could think of doing this was using buffers and then adding them all together before it starts to write overtop of them again. But how can I save that summed picture? I try to take that result and run it to an image on the front panel (which works) but when I go to save it to avi or something it says that I can not convert buffer images, also if I try to do the copy buffer it gives me that the image needs to be released. I will attach sort of what I have now, though it does not work.
Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you all very much!

SummingPics.vi ‏164 KB

This may not help at all...
But have you thought of not using buffers?
Since you're using the IMAQ package anyway, if you don't need a super high frame rate why don't you just grab individual images put them into a shift reg. and sum for x=n, then plop that summed image to a new imaq image to save and start over. I say this because if you're only trying to grab an avi for the individual images why not just grab the individual images as jpgs or whatnot and save yourself the trouble?

Datasheet says Camileo P10 saves as .mov but the device saves as .avi

I just rec'd a P10 as a gift for Christmas.
Looking at the specs on the online Datasheet and elsewhere the sources say that that the P10 saves video files as .mov but the device I have can only save them as as .avi files. However the box itself does say that it saves pictures as jpg and video as avi (H.264)
And I had to search the Internet for a long time to find a safe CoreAAC Audio (FF) codec file to allow Windows Media Player to play the avi file with sound.
What happened? Why this change?
NB I did find one specification sheet online that said that the camera had both .mov and .avi formats. If this is true how do we access a menu that can allow us to switch between file formats?

Hi,
i've had the same problem recently.
I have sent back my camileo p30, to Toshiba technical center, and Toshiba shipped me back a new Camileo P30 (the old one was having troubles with the sound).
My new camileo is recording in .avi with H264 compression, and the old one was recording in .mov with H264 compression.
This .avi H264 format is not compatible with my video software (pinnacle studio 12), the .mov H264 was perfectly compatible.
So it seems to be the fault of the newest firmware that encodes the video with this format.
*_If Toshiba staff could make a firmware with the old format .mov h264 , for the camileo p30, it would be great !!!!!_*
PS : I have tried with the pinnacle studio hd 14, and the problem of compatibility is still the same....

Webcam continuous capture and save to avi later

Hello,
I am new to LabVIEW. If anyone could help with the USB webcam and LabVIEW 2010. I have all the IMAQ drivers installed.
What I am try to do is capture video continuously into a buffer memory or an array and be able to extract that buffer video and save it as an AVI video.
So the main question is buffering video in memory and write as an avi file in later time.
Sorry if this confusing. Please let me know, I can be more details to clear thing up.
Thank you so much for all your help.
Dan
Solved!

Hello Rory,
Queue is an array with first in first out mechanism which allow you to keep the images in the memory. To create queue, you would need to use Obtain Queue function with string name and image data type as input, the result is that you have a queue to put your image into. During each acquisition loop, you would need to create a new IMAQ image before enqueueing so that each images has it's own memory space.
Attached is an example that you can try to see as an example, in addition, LabVIEW example finder also have many queue examples.
Hope that this help you started.

Spectrum Analyzer GPIB Record and Save to AVI, MPEG, or MP4 file

My objective is to record a waveform using labview and save it as an AVI, MPEG, or MP4 file to be able to replay it back at a later time.
I would like to know if it is possible to capture a waveform for 30 to 60 second and save it as an movie format file.
I have Labview 2013 version, Spectrum Analyzer N9010A and GPIB-USB-HS.

Start by looking for the LabVIEW driver for your instrument. There may be something in there for capturing your waveform.

Premiere Elements 7
Share/Personal Computer/
There you will find export routes for Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, DV AVI, Windows Media, and Quicktime. You may not see the Windows Media and Quicktime choices until you scroll down to them at their lower locations on the list.
Most of the export choices have an Advance Button in its dialog section. Click on that if you want to change the settings that you see displayed.
Also, explore the File Menu/Export/Movie route to get to the DV AVI version as well as the other choices there.
If you have not already, check out the Premiere Elements 7 Help PDF which you can get to from the program's Help menu. Lots of details there.
I suspect that you have found Share/Personal Computer, but did not see Windows Media which you have to scroll to to see. Most people run into that situation.
Please ask if any further questions.

Hello!
I' am working in Premiere Pro CS4 and would like to make AVI DV PAL compression from my Premiere Pro file (DV PAL, size 32010 KB, video lenght is 2 min, video made from PSD (Photoshop CS4 EXTENDED) photographies puttet in Premiere Pro file in meny sequences, video have sound), but when i click FILE>EXPORT>AVI, DV PAL or else>OK then appears window what looks same as SAVING WINDOW where shoes howe much time left, just in place of SAVING is written EXPORTING, but when that little window ends, then nothing happens - in computer nouwhere i can find any file what was needed to be maked in that exporting process. I would like to know, ehat to do to have my Premiere Pro file as AVI DV PAL compression. I think there needed to be automatically opening ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER.

Do I need to convert my 12-bit camera to 8bits to "grab and save an .avi file? If so, HOW?

i am using a 12-bit camera with imaq-vision software, the latest version, along with labveiw 7.0. I narrowed the error down to the ACI write frame icon. It is giving me an error that the image type is not correct. leaving the error image is not compatible error #1074396077. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Some cameras offer the option of 8 bit output, or you might be able to do it in MAX. If not, you will need to convert each image from 16 bit to 8 bit using a 4 bit shift and IMAQ Cast Image. Wire the 16 bit image as the source and an 8 bit image as the destination. Wire the output image to the AVI Write vi.

Continous capture to AVI -- not enough memory

I'm running LabView 2009 right now with two Camera Link cameras (JAI CM-200MCL), each capable of running at roughly 25 fps with an NI PCIe 1430 frame grabber (They're rated for 30 fps, but I haven't been able to get them to run at this speed in LabView). I'm trying to get it so that I can capture a 30 second movie at least in which the images in both videos can be roughly coordinated with eachother in the time domain.
Currently, I'm running into two major problems:
1) When imaging with both cameras and writing them to their own AVIs simultaneously, the respective camera fps values drop to about 17 each, screwing up the time fidelity of the resulting video and making analysis virtually impossible.
2) Whenever I try to implement the code with newer AVI sub VIs in labview (requiring a compression codec), or when I try to take the raw VI and compress it by reading it and writing it to a new AVI file, my system runs out of memory and I get a message like this:
Error -1074396159 occurred at IMAQ AVI2 Write Frame
Possible reason(s):
IMAQ Vision: Not enough memory for requested operation.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Currently I'm at a loss as to next steps and can't seem to find a solution in the various discussion threads I've read on similar topics.

Hi floomich86,
When do you get the error? How many times the acquisition loop runs before you get the error?
Looking at it now, I think you're right that it's not a throughput issue, but has to do with the memory being used up. I have a couple recommendations:
1) Try using a codec after to process your images so they're smaller. Use the IMAQ Get Codec Names node to find the various codecs available on your computer (it returns an array of all the various codecs), then use an index array function to choose one of these (try an NI one to start). Then wire this codec into your IMAQ AVI Create node in your Vision_Acquisition_2cam.vi. Adding this compression should help your images take up less memory.
2) This seems like a good application for the Producer-Consumer architecture. This would require revamping your code in a major way, but I think using this architecture would improve performance. This architecture is best for programs that need to gather data in one loop and process it in another simultaneously.
Here are some examples of the Producer-Consumer architecture. I tried to find some specifically with Vision functions in them but I couldn't. Yet, you can still see how the architecture and data gathering/analysis works with these.
Here is a white paper to introduce the architecture:

Video grab and save using labview

Dear All
I am trying to grab and save a video from ni smart camera (NI 1744). I
am using Grab and save vi which is attached. I open a new project in
labview 10. To this project I add the smart camera as a RT target and
then add the attached grab and save vi under the smart camera in the
project. I right click the smart camera and select " Deploy all".
Deployment starts but it terminates displaying the following error
message:
" LabVIEW: Failed to load shared library
nivissvc.*:LV_AviMovieOpen:C. Ensure that the library is present on
the RT target. Use MAX to install NI software or FTP to transfer
custom libraries to the RT target.
Deployment completed with errors "
Kindly note that I am able to grab a video using MAX (Measurement and
Automation) without any problem. I have also re installed IMAQ RT,
Vision RT, IMAQdx RT and Labview RT on the smart camera several times
but that has not solved the problem. I shall be really grateful if
anyone can provide any guidance regarding how to carry out successful
deployment of the attached vi or if anyone can suggest an alternative
way of grabbing and saving a video from NI smart Camera (NI 1744).
System Specifications: Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Windows 7 home
premium. Labview 10.

AVI is still not supported for the 1744, which uses a VxWorks Operating System (as compared with the newer series of smart cameras the 177x which use pharlap OS and support the new AVI functions).
Attached is a sample LV project and code to illustrate how to acquire images on your smart camera and write those to a network image variable. I also made a host side VI to read the image variable where you can use your AVI function to save to your local host machine images acquired from the smart camera.
Hopes thishelps,

No Sound playing AVI files in Quicktime Pro - help!

Help! I just bought QT Pro for Windows(Xp) to convert my AVI files to Mpeg4 for my Ipod. The Apple Store sales guy promised it could be done. I see video but no sound on all of the AVI files. For example, on 2 of my AVI video files, according to Gspot, the video codecs are "divx 3 low motion" and "Xvid" and they are installed on my pc. According to Gspot, the audio codec required is "0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3" which can play on
--> {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced)}
--> {MPEG Layer-3 Decoder}
which are both installed on my pc, yet I have no sound. I am stuck! The bit rate is 128. Should I be using another audio codec??? Where can I get it? Help! Anyone?

Some of the avi files created on PCs use variable bit rate mp3 souind. QT will not play that type of mp3 in avi files.
One way to deal with the issue is to convert the mp3 to a QT-friendly format. You can try this process, using this freeware Windows program: VirtualDub
Open the problem file in VirtualDub. Set the Video mode to Direct Stream Copy. That will copy the video to the new file with no change. Set the Audio to Full Processor Mode. Then set the compression to IMA compression. Now use Save As Avi in the File menu to make a new file with a new name. Since only the audio is being changed it is a fairly rapid process.
One last thing. To do this you do have to have the Windows codecs for those video formats installed. That is, you have to be able to play them in Windows Media Player. QT uses completely different codecs.

Save as .avi
