Short video files

Is there a way to move a video file from iPhoto to iPhone 3G? If so, which file format is best to use? I have 10 second or less clips from digital camera that I want to put on iphone. Right now they are .avi but wouldn't sync with photos in designated folder.
Thanks for any suggestions!

You should use iPhoto's "reveal in finder" option from the contextual menu to find the actual videos, then use the iTunes import feature to put them into iTunes. From there, either convert them to iPhone/iPod format and then sync up from the movies tab, or try and leave them as is and do the same. Your iPhone should be able to use them from there.

After Effects CC won't import short video files

I have a project with hundreds of h.264 videos, some of which are only 1 or 2 frames in length. When I try to import these short files, AE freezes and I have to force quit the application.
I have a project file created with an older version of After Effects with these files already imported, and AE CC can't open these files, and hangs whenever I access any comps with the files in them. This was not a problem with the previous version of AE, and I've temporarilly gotten around the issue by running a trial of AE CS 5.5, but I don't have a serial for it and the trial is going to expire soon. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there a way to correct this problem?
I'm using macbook pro, with OS 10.9.2, and all Adobe CC software is up to date.

The same issue appears to happen when I try importing a small sampling of these files into Media Encoder. After dragging the files over, the program just beachballs, doesn't appear to be importing the files, and the program is not responding.

Is There an Application to Stitch Video Files?

I use Mavericks 10.9.1. I would like to "stitch/glue" several short video files together to get one (1) longer video file. Is there an app that can do that?

Get a copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert your MPG file to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). In FCE, select one of the setups that uses AIC that best matches your clip (say, 1920x1080i60). Create a new sequence, then import the converted file.
Note that if your MPG file is actually MPEG2 you will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Component in addition to MPEG Streamclip.
What was the source of the MPG file? How about if you open it in QuickTime, then do Window > Show Movie Inspector. Tell us what it says for codec/compression, frame size & frame rate.

Video file shorter in Adobe Encore CS6

I edited a film in Premiere Pro CC and exported the audio and video (at the same time) as H.264 Blu Ray and AC3 audio. When I imported these files into Encore CS6 to author the Blu Ray disc, the .m4v video file is slightly shorter than the film in the actual project, resulting in audio that is syncronized at the beginning of the film, but gets progressively worse and is ultimately out of sync by about 10 seconds at the end of the film. As you can see in the screenshot below, the film is 03:49:34:01 in length, but in Encore CS6 it's saying 03:49:25:10. The AC3 audio file is the correct length in Encore. The footage is all 23.976fps captured from Canon 5D Mark II cameras set to 24p. When I had dynamic link, this all worked perfectly and I never had issues with it. Am I missing something?
Previously, I was able to successfully author a DVD from the same film with no audio sync issues.

How do I save and share short clips of a video file

How do I cut clips out of a longer video file to post on FB or YouTube in 2-3 minute clips

jthoma8318
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running?
You do not need to bother with in and out points to do this.
Position the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar to span the Timeline content that you want to upload to Facebook
or YouTube via the Premiere Elements feature. Then in the sharing section of the program - Facebook or YouTube export settings, make sure to have
a check mark next to "Share Work Area Bar Only". Both these steps are required to get the selective export.
Only this morning, I prepared this screenshot for a Premiere Elements 10 user for an QuickTime export
There are two ways to set the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar....
a. with mouse cursor move them into place
or
b. use shortcuts...move the Timeline Indicator to the start of the segment that you want and, as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, hit the left bracket key [ ....then move the Timeline Indicator to the end of the segment that you want and, as you hold down the Alt key, hit the right bracket key ]
Some exports do not have the "Share Work Area Bar Only" option in the export settings. Facebook and YouTube are two exports that do..
For YouTube is your export within the file size of 2 GB...your 2 or 3 minute clips appear to be in the duration limit for the feature within Premiere Elements.
If you want to get involved in trimming of clips from a larger project concepts, please review the following blog post

Unable to Sync Video files after Itunes 9.0.3 and iPhone software update

This is my problem with Itunes- After I the Software Update program installed iTunes 9.0.3 yesterday, and I upgraded the iPhone software (to 3.1.3.) shortly thereafter. The iPhone upgrade failed (it froze). When I restarted the computer, I had to restore the iPhone and then I synced. I could not sync my video files.
The apps, music and "push" items sync perfectly. However, it ignores the Movies, Podcasts and iTunes U files.
In terms of the location for these files, all of my Library and Media files are contained in a firewire external drive. They have been there since I started up with iTunes many years ago. All worked well before the Install/Upgrade.
Problem is- iTunes ignores the pointer in Preferences/Advanced/Location and creates an empty folder, named iTunes in the Music library (in my Home directory) at every sync (even if I delete it, it recreates it on the new sync).
Question-Why does iTunes ignore the pointer, and create a new empty folder in Home?
Thanks for your help.

Apparently Apple doesn't bother to test their software updates. This problem was introduced last September and has persisted through a number of updates that were supposed to address the bug. Very discouraging. I keeping holding out hope that an iTunes update will eventually fix this feature that worked fine for years before iTunes 9 was introduced.
Unfortunately, it is impractical to go back to an earlier version of iTunes.
I have reported this bugs several times (via iTunes feedback). If Apple actually reads the feedback, they never respond.
It's not like there are other vendors or unknowns involved: current iMac 24, new iPod Touch, the latest version of iTunes and iPod OS.
So what do we have to do to get Apple's attention? Stop buying music? Stop buying Apple devices? I'd love to buy the new iPad, but I'm darned if I will if they are unable or unwilling to fix this bug...

Quicktime doesn't open any video files (app loads, no video)

I've done my best to search for a solution, but I have come up with nothing.
Whenever I try to load any video files (.mov, .mp4, .avi, etc) Quicktime Player 10.1 opens, but no video file is displayed. Same results if I use the "open" command from within Quicktime. All of the videos play fine in VLC.
The only exception to this rule is when viewing a trailer on trailers.apple.com. If I "download" an HD trailer, Quicktime opens and begins to stream the trailer, however the ram runs away (8+gb instantly) and the computer starts chugging very badly.
In the old days I would have just reinstalled quicktime, however with how deeply it is integrated into Lion I am unsure of how to proceed (short of a clean install). Thanks in advance!

Run the generic installer program.

Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.

If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.

Sounds like a bad battery. You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced.

Unable to transfer Video files from iPhone to iPhoto

My daughter's iPhone 5S was stolen and she transferred her 2500+ picture camera roll to her brother's iPhone 4. Then her laptop died and was transferred to a brand new MAC. Upon syncing, backing up and restoring her iphone 4 I am finding that I repeatedly get the message. I have erased and restored her iPhone 3X.
"Error downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image"
Now I was thinking the library was damaged, but have rebuilt it 2X. I then imported individual pictures and they went in fine.
Now what I did notice is that there are 7 small video clips each about 4-10 seconds long that are NOT importing. In fact, in iPhoto they show up as MOV and do not even show a preview video so I can't tell which videos they are other than by the length of the video. Sadly with over 2500 files there are many short video clips so I don't know which one's for sure she is unable to get without searching the #@)*^&%)!&^!!!! iPhoto library and comparing them one by one to see which ones are there.
I also tried importing the video files to a brand new library on the same computer and got the same error.
The same appears to happen going to a brand new library on a DIFFERENT computer. So I'm pretty sure the problem is with those 7 video files.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to find and remove this 7 short clips and salvage them for her? I suppose she could email them to herself.
Thanks

Sorry, I can see I wasn't clear. The video files are on the iPhone and I'm guessing they are corrupt. I've read a number of your forums on checking to see if the problem is with the iPhoto library, but in this case I don't believe that to be true because:
1. It fails when I create a new library on the same computer.
2. It fails when I create and attempt to sync on a DIFFERENT computer with which I created a brand new iPhoto library.
3. These files (7 of them) actually look different on iPhoto and DO NOT have the preview icon that shows you what it is. They simply say .mov or something like that.

Working with video files in Captivate

We have recorded a short video that we want to insert as an
animation in to Captivate. We've saved the wmv file using
Moviemaker as an avi file, but Captivate doesn't like it. A message
pops up to say "This avi file cannot be converted to swf". Any tips
on how to get a simple video in to Captivate?

Usually when audio is heard but the video is unseen, it's a
codec issue.
What codec are you using for the AVI creation? I'd think it
is having
issues being converted to SWF. Try exporting the AVI with a
different codec.
Generally, I would stay away from trying to load .avi files
into CP
directly (as you've experienced).
Converting to FLV would be the next best thing (if not
better) to a SWF
conversion. Don't worry about the streaming - if there's no
FLV (FMS)
server, the movie will still play. However, if you're having
sync
issues, that also seems likely to be a conversion issue -
mostly related
to the codec (?). Perhaps try a different conversion tool -
the one
you're using seems to be...flaky.
Related to SteveC's reply, I find conversion from QT to FLV
to be the
smoothest, so if you can output to QT (.mov), you may have
better luck.
If you can't export the original movie to QT, try MPEG or
MPEG2.

Downloading audio from a video file from iTunes?

I have a 40G 4th Gen click wheel iPod (no color or video). Is there a way to download just the audio from a video file that I have in iTunes?

I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Restoring lost video files from iPod Classic

I was recently trying to move my Video Files (last three seasons of Cops all downloaded from Itunes) to a different location on my computer. To put a long story short they somehow disappeared and I’m not sure how. I have searched my hard drive and I didn’t even have them in my recycle bin.
Fortunatly I still have them on my iPod Classic (160 GB) and I’m trying to figure out how to recover them from it, but I’m not sure if I have it set up to sync video files automatically or if it even works that way and I’m afraid to plug it into my computer or it might sync and delete the files.
The first thing I tried was to plug it into a different computer (already authorized) so it would upload the files downloaded then I could use an external drive to transfer the files back to my regular computer. I was able to get the most recent season uploaded, but then I got an error message saying that it couldn’t upoload some of the protected files unless my computer was authorized (even though it was). I re-authorised my computer and it still didn’t work.
I read that you can press Ctrl-Shift and hold it down while you plug your iPod in that it will prevent auto-syncing. I tried this but as soon as my iPod said “synchronizing” I unplugged it.
Does anyone know how I could pull these files from my iPod to get them back on my computer?
Message was edited by: WarHawkJAH

To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
Then see: How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.

Cannot import any video files.

I installed CS3 Master Collection, I tried importing a video file into Encore and Premiere Pro and it worked fine. That was 2 days ago, now when I try to import the same video file into either program the 'Import as asset' window pops up as normal but just sits there and does nothing. Then the program comes up with (not responding) and I have to shut it down. I have not changed or installed anything new on my machine.
Machine Spec:
Vista Ultimate 64 (fully updated).
Intel core2 duo E6750 2.66GHz.
4 gig OCZ DDR2 PC8400.
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R.
Nvidia BFG 8800GTS.
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.
I have since uninstalled CS3 and reinstalled it and I am still experiencing the same problem. I can import any other type of file (images, audio etc) I am only having this problem with video files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
-Dio

Keep in mind that Vista is good enough to boot your computer, loads a bealtyful GUI, wallpaper loads and mounts the desktop icons. After that the computer works fine. The clock is ticking on the side bar, pictures changes on the middle of this bar, some another gadgets loads and so on . After short period of time, the screen saver starts. Wow vista works great! This is all that vista is capable of. Our problems with vista begins when we click in something. Believe me, i have 26 years of experience with computers. Downgrade to XP64. Your CS3 will work without problems. I have a computer with quad core, 16Gbytes of 667RAM, quadro board, and even in this monster Vista do not works with a long sort of problems. After the downgrade, my problems dissapear. CS3 works very well.
