Slow preview of videos and rendering

i am trying to make a project and whenever I add a video file and try to preview it the video is slow. it runs only for a second then goes every 5 second one frame would pass. I finished the project and just thought if I encode it the video will turn out fine but it had the same problem.
If anyone can help thanks.

Jake,
Your camera likely uses MJPED compression. This is common for many Nikon sitll cameras.
There are three common MJPEG CODECs, Morgan, Lead and Main Concept. I think Morgan is freeware and the other two need to be purchased. Any one of these *should* go a long way to correcting your issues.
It would be a good move for Nikon to include a CODEC for whatever flavor of MJPEG they use. Seems that the new D-90 is using yet another flavor.
As Harm points out, the AV output from a still camera is really meant for viewing, and not for editing. This is *possibly* why Nikon has not taken the correct route - they assume that the footage will not be edited. The lack of current CODECs will likely plague users of newer still cameras, as the mfgr continues to improve on their end, but not share these improvements.
You might also pick up a bunch of tips and ideas from the Adobe Premiere Elements forums. Just search them for "MJPEG," and have a good read. More folk seem to be trying to use still camera AV footage in those programs, Elements.

  • Firefox no longer creates previews for videos and music posted on my Facebook Timeline

    after its latests update to the Version 32, Firefox no longer creates previews for videos and music posted on my Facebook Timeline. in earlier Firefox versions there was no such problem. it started to happen exactly after its update, and it still works perfectly well in Chrome and other browsers.

    to make it clear, just look at the picture attached, which describes the process of posting the same video on my Facebook Timeline in Firefox and in Chrome:

  • Updated to LR 5.4, images now importing extremely slow. After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast.

    After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast. Canon,Nikon, Leica and Fuji files all rendering slow. iMac 2.9 ghz 16gb RAM OSX 10.8.5. Catalogs and images are kept on external drives. Drives running fine. Really need a fix on this since I'm norally imported and processing at least 4,000 images per LR Catalog. Is there way to revert back to 5.3? I can't use 5.4 is its current state. Thanks.

    Download LR 5.3 and install it
    By the way, lots of people have this complaint about LR 5.4, and the advice I give is to use LR 5.3 unless you need one of the new camera models supported by LR 5.4

  • Scrol bar to slow down a video and audio file

    Hello,
    I need a scrol bar to slow down a video file (video and audio)
    Thank you.

    you want a video to play at something other than its native framerate?
    if yes, you can't easily do that with an flvplayback component.  you'll need to separate the audio and visual parts of your video and had them to a movieclip timeline.  then you'll need to customize the playback speed of that movieclip.
    you can use the following to play any movieclip (forward or backward) at any speed:
    function playF(mc:MovieClip, m:int, n:int, fps:int):void {
        var playFFF2:Function = function(mc:MovieClip):void {
            trace(getTimer(),mc.currentFrame);
            if (mc.m<mc.n) {
                mc.nextFrame();
            } else {
                mc.prevFrame();
            if (mc.currentFrame == mc.n) {
                clearInterval(mc.int);
            //updateAfterEvent();
        mc.m = m;
        mc.n = n;
        mc.fps = fps;
        mc.gotoAndStop(mc.m);
        clearInterval(mc.int);
        mc.int = setInterval(playFFF2, 1000/mc.fps, mc);
    // and to stop it:
    function stopF(mc:MovieClip):void {
        clearInterval(mc.int);

  • Video Lags Behind Audio in Preview Pane, Timeline and Rendered Video

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with a six minute video that I grabbed from the media browser in Premeire and am attempting to use in my timline.  The first few mins of the 6 minute video is fine, but as the video progresses in the preview pane the video starts lagging behind and finally towards the end is probably half a second behind.  The mp4 file plays fine outside the confines of Premeire.  I've tried reloading a new file, etc, but nothing seems to work.
    Also, I uploaded another file that works fine.  No audio lag.  However, the file that works I grabbed from my Kodak flip camera, the file in question is from a Flipcam.  The file that works is a .mov.  As I mentioned, the file with the lagging audio is an mp4.  It seemed to work fine before in other projects.  Also, I noticed that lately that Premeire is a bit slow.  It wasn't as slow a week ago.
    I'm using an iMac with a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 4MB level 3 cache, 1 Terabyte of disk space, 4GB of ram, ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
    I'm not sure if there's some setting's that I'm missing or what.  I'm not very clear on capture settings when I open a project.  When I opened the project I was a little confused about what settings to use.
    Thanks very much.
    Jim

    Maybe - any chance to check those files on a G4/G5/Intals Mac or a Windows PC? btw. at what speed is your G3 running?

  • Corrupted video and rendering problems

    Before I upgraded the software (FCP 5.0.3 to 5.0.4, and the latest OS X update) I could capture and export movies with no problems. Using the “File>Export>Quicktime Movie” option set to “Use current settings” provides the disastrous results of digital garbage flashing on the screen like psychedelic Lego blocks every couple of seconds at random intervals. They appear at different points with every export. It’s like it’s taking an I-frame from a Jackson Pollack painting. I tried using the following codecs (Sorry if I’m using the wrong terminology, I’m a PC head making my first steps into the Mac universe): Apple Intermediate Codec, DV NTSC 48 KHz (the project’s setting), DV50 NTSC 48 KHz, MPEG IMX 8-bit NTSC – 50 MB/s – 48KHz and the Uncompressed 8-bit NTSC 48 KHz all with similar hideous results. So why does the video look so bad?
    Also when I try to render my files the progress bar flashes on the screen for about a second and then goes away, leaving my timeline with the same red bar across the top (AKA unrendered). Are these two problems related?
    I hope that is a detailed enough description of my plight to inspire an answer. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I have tried it in a new sequence and a new project but nothing has changed. What I am trying to do is take our catalog of "How to" videos from the miniDV tapes and create DVDs using DVDSP4 since nobody buys VHS anymore. All I'm doing is capturing the 25+ minute project and trimming off the wasted spaces at the beginning and the end. Two cuts, that's it. I'm not reassembing anything and this is becoming a bigger project than the original editing. I had captured the original video I am currently working with before the OS upgrade with no problems and it looks fine on anything I use to view the Quicktime file with. But when I export to anything besides Compressor all I get is junk when Compressor decides not to give ma a "Quicktime Error: 0". What is that about? Anyone?
    Also, the tutorial on preview rendering is good and I learned quite a bit. Unfortunately nothing worked on solving my problem. The progress bar still flashes on the screen and when it hits 0% completed it disappears leaving everything unrendered. Grrrr.
    Thanks again.

    I have a problem previewing data recorded on DVR machine H.264 trnsfered to the apple machine using a flash disk.
    The data is in form of video footage.
    The Mac player warns of missing codec to allow the preview.
    How do I tell which codec and how will I achieve my goal?

    Sorry, you need to convert if you want it on iPad.

  • Transfer hd video and photos from dslr

    I have a Canon T3i DSLR that i shoot pics and HD video with. I travel alot and need to edit my photos and videos on the road. Even tho i have a first gen ipad which i LOVE....it's not great for photos, and i cant edit videos at all. So i am thinking of getting one of the new macbook airs that just came out today.
    I WOULD go for the 11" high end model with 4G ram and 256 SSD flash drive.....but the only thing making me pause and think about the larger 13" version is that the 11" doesn't have an SD card slot.
    I know i can get an external USB card reader and hook it up to the 11"....but would that be ALOT slower than transfering video and Photos on the 13" macook air by popping in the SD card into the slot? The new models both have thunderbolt....will thunderbolt SD card readers come out eventually?
    If the ipad 2 transfered and edited HD video and photos, I'd nab that. But it doesn't.
    If the 11" macbook air had an SD card slot, I'd nab that....but it doesn't.
    ARGH! **** you Apple!!! Lol.
    Even tho i have a big 65L Osprey backpack for travelling, I'd still like to pack as light as i can, since i will be treking all over the world. Cant check my backpack, but i have a smaller daypack for carry on to hold my camera and laptop.
    The 13" and 11" macbook airs are both the same thickness. The 13" is only 1" wider and 1.5" deeper than the 11". So not TOO much bigger. The 13" is 2.9lbs while the 11" is 2.3lbs...so not a HUGE difference in weight.
    So i guess it comes down to the SD card slot issue. Does anybody have experience with transfering video and photos to the 11" thru an external card reader? And if so, is the internal SD slot on the 13" ALOT faster when transfering? Or about the same? And lastly will thunderbolt card readers become available in the future u think?
    Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my questions.
    Cheers!

    Good to know that I am not the only one thinking about this. I currently have an 11" MBA. When purchasing I considered getting the 13" just because it had the SD card. However, smaller was more important to me. I have a canon 60D and I have transferred images using an external card reader and through a direct link to the camera - at the moment, neither are spectacular. I have also used a the SD card reader built into the iMac's - but even that appears slow with a 32Gb SDHC extreme card. I am hoping that the thunderbolt technology will lead to SD card readers - firewire and USB 3 have and since thunderbolt's transfer rates are ridiculous fast,  taking advantage of it would appear obvious. However for the near term, I am looking into faster USB SD card readers. The best website that compares these, with every popular sd card imaginable, and on a Mac (as well as windows) is:
    http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/reader_report_multi_page.asp?cid=6007-9438
    Until the first round of thunderbolt SD card readers become available, I will be holding off on the new 11" MBA - when they do... I will be itching to upgrade.
    Good luck!

  • After Effects CC Crashing Itself and Computer During Previews and Rendering

    After several attempts to render a video in After Effects CC (have also tried on CS6) and it crashing either itself or my entire computer, I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of my Adobe applications deleting the preferences while I was at it. After reinstall, I am still coming across the same problem. Quicktime is installed as well. The problem occurs at different times when I'm scrubbing a video, RAM previewing, and rendering. I have tried rendering with "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" on and off. It has worked on Draft Settings for rendering before, but now that isn't even working. The information for my system and other needed info is below:
    After Effects CC 12.2.1.5 & (latest update, I believe)
    Source Footage: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC
    Classic 3D
    Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50 GHz
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti   (Driver Version: 9.18.13.3523)
    RAM: 16.0 GB
    Disk Drives (2): 120 GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD,  1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003-9YN16
    Cache Settings:
    Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences: (I have tried numerous setups)
    Render Settings:

    Well everything worked on my other computer, though slower. Since it seems to be the hardware causing the issues, could someone point me in the right direction as to which component is causing it? My log file is at the link below:

  • RAM previewing and rendering not working correctly

    Hi,
    Today I was just about finished editing a video on CS6 and then when I'm about to add the last effect and render it it stuffs up on me:(. What happens is that while RAM previewing at some point during the loading of the preview it will stop loading, It will then proceed to play the ram preview on loop and when I press a button to stop it a small box pops up in the centre of my screen and the ram preview bar to show what has loaded (the one which shows green for parts that are loaded and blue for cached) turns black and sometimes other parts of after effects turn black. This has happened before and I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects about 6 times. I would do that this time though I would like to know the cause of it and any possible fixes as it is quite irritating. Another thing that may be happening is the RAM usage is slowly filling as I render. This has happened before on my laptop and I did not manage to fix it though it was not related to the first issue that time. The last time when it happened on my laptop the RAM usage eventually filled up to 100% and it would no longer render. I am not sure if it is happening this time as it is still currently rendering though I will update the thread if it does. Finally my render is going very slowly, I am not sure if this issue is realted to any of the above or if it is just the effects I am using though. My memory and multiprocessing settings are using 6 cores of 7 with 2 GB of ram allocated to each with multiprocessing on. My ram allocated for other programs is 6GB. To fix these Issues so far I have tried clearing the cache, purging the memory and image cache, restarting  my computer and reinstalling after effects. My specs are:
    i7 4770k non overclocked
    GTX 780
    G.Skill Ripjaws Z 2133mhz 32GB
    Samsung 840 pro
    Seagate Barracuda
    MSI Z87-G45
    H100i cooler
    Any reply is appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    How much experience do you have with AE? Ram preview can be lengthened by adjusting the resolution of the composition window, different parts of the project can be previewed using the work area, and preview length and render time are both a function of composition frame size. Complex, memory intensive effects like particle systems will reduce the render time and the length of a ram preview. Without knowing the details of your composition it's hard to say if you are running into a bug, running out of resources, or experiencing normal behavior.

  • Source and Program  preview look good,  AME renders linked aftereffects very poor

    I have searched high and low but cant figure this out:
    I have CS4 Master Suite installed on HPZ600 workstation Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5550  @ 2.67GHz, 2661 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical     6GB ram.
    I created a 720p PremierPro (PP) sequence.  I added a “Black Video” then rightClick- replaced it with an aftereffects (AE) comp.  I added several screen captures to the AE file and animated a few graphics over the images.  When I jump back into PP the source preview (linked Comp) looks great, the Program preview looks good and when I Export media the 1st preview (still in PP) looks good.  Once it opens in Adobe Media Encoder the quality (mostly text on white background) looks terrible.
    I have tried endless combinations of settings and options with no luck.  I render out the AE file and it looks great.  Import it into PP, looks great.  Send it to AME, looks like poop.  If I take the images (used in AE) and import them directly into PP I get a good export in AME but I need them in AF to animate.
    If anyone has any info that might help I would be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks

    No,  but that does seem to be a good indicator.  When the preview (AME) is  bad, the rendered video comes out bad.  When it is good, the video comes  out good. I just rendered this.  The preview showed about 1 second of  good quality and then the busted look (with linked AE only, video was  good).  This is a 1280 x 720 png in AE with no animation or effects.
    The  linked AE is video2 in PP on top of 720p video in video1.  If I create a new  sequence and place (copy/paste from the old one) the linked AE alone it  previews and renders great.  Once I add the video (AE fades in over the  video) and have 2 720p elements, the AE will randomly look bad.
    Do you think it could be a RAM issue?
    Here is an example:  This is a rendered WMV about 20 seconds in.
    Here is the same WMV 21 seconds in.  It is the same image in AE.  This quality shift was also identical in the AME window.
    thank you for your time and info, I appreciate it.

  • Preview and Rendering Chopping

    Hi
    When I drag the clip from the list on the left to the left preview screen, the video plays fine. When I drag it into the timeline and play it on the right preview screen, the video seems choppy and it seems like frames repeat or skip randomly. I thought this was only when I preview it but when I export it it does the same thing. I tried rendering (changing the little red line into a green one) the video and it still seems choppy... please help!

  • I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

    i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
    hope someone can help!

    May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget.  I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field,  the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
    It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you. 
    Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

  • Cannot preview videos and audio files

    I have Adobe Bridge cs3 2.1.1.9 and Version Cue cs3 3.1 installed and I am unable to preview my video files. Also, I am having trouble with playback of .wav files as well. I have tested the .wav files with a media info software and it told me that I do not need any additional codecs for its playback, but still I cannot play them on any of my players.
    I still think the .wav problem might be codec related or some other issue after the same fashion, but I believe the "movie files can't preview on bridge" is some sort of stupid setting I just can't seem to find (specially because all of them play on their default players).
    Any thoughts would be most helpful.
    Tnx in advance.

    In the past I have seen posts where Quicktime and Bridge had conflicts. Update Quicktime to latest version and see if that solves problem.
