[Solved] Kdenlive & Openshot crash after importing video files

I'm not sure if the culprit is today's update, but I am having problems importing video files in Kdenlive and OpenShot. When I try to import .MTS / .MKV / .MP4 video files, both programs immediately cease to work.
For example - Mediainfo:
.mts file
Video 16.2 Mbps, 1920*1080 (16:9), at 25.000 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 2 Ref Frames)
Audio 448 Kbps, 48 Khz, 16 bits, 6 channels, AC-3
.mkv file
Video 1 399 Kbps, 1920*1080 (16:9), at 25 000 fps, AVC (High 4:4:4 [email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
.mp4 file
Video 14,9 Mbps, 1920*1080 (16:9), at 30 000 fps, MPEG-4 Visual (Simple@L1)
AUdio 192 Kbps, 44.1 KHz, 2 channels, MPEG Audio (version 1) (Layer 3) (Joint stero / MS Stereo)

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
Does anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2. It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death. To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine. Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down. Here are the detailed info you asked for...
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
What other software are you running?none
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
iMac 27in Mid 2011 3.4 Intel Core i7 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD6970M 2048 MB OSX 10/9 (13A603)
No external devices, except a external hard drive. I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?I am not completely sure to be honest - I believe it is the factory settings.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?both!

Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer Crashes when Importing Video Files

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to 12. Now if I import any of my videos, they import onto the hard drive but as soon as Elements tries to bring them into the catalog, Photoshop Crashes. When I re-open the Organizer, it crashes as soon as it processes my files. If I delete the video file from my hard drive, then it doesn't crash. I have lots of videos that were imported under Photoshop Elements 10 and they don't cause any problems.
I uninstalled Elements and re-installed but that didn't help.
I deleted my preferences but that didn't help.
I updated to 12.1 but that didn't help.
Here are the details of the crash.

I have checked on another Windows 8.1 computer and it doesn't have problems so it isn't a general problem with Windows 8.1.
Also, it isn't a problem with that particular catalog (That catalog worked on my other computer and I get the error with a new catalog)
I re-downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package and updated it since that seems to be what MSVCR100.dll is used for but that didn't help.
I get the problem with .MTS and .MT2S (AVCHD) video files but don't have the problem with .MP4 files.
I tried with a Safe Boot but I still have the problem.
I did a file cleanup using CCleaner but that didn't help either.
I ran System Mechanic to fix registry problems but that didn't help either.
I tried disabling my Norton Antivirus and Firewall but that didn't help.

I do not have any version of Premiere Elements installed.
I never removed any files. This is a clean installation from a couple months ago when I got my new hard drive.
That file is located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\mc_codecs\mc_demux_mp2_ds.ax":

PSE9 - Catalog crashes since importing video files

I imported some video files to my catalog and now PSE9 Organiser crashes everytime I try to enter that catalog. I have created a new catalog as a test and imported photos to the catalog and Organiser works fine, but when i change catalogs the PSE9 crashes again. It appears to be due to a memory problem, which in itself is not an issue except that I want to open the catalog and remove the video files from it. As you may have guessed my last catalog backup was some time ago. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about accessing the catalog or removing the video files from the catalog, so I may access it?

I moved the directories and renamed them to sbe sure. Unfortunately the catalog still crashes and won't open.
If you can open the Organizer from the newly created catalog, you can try to repair the corrupt catalog (repair anyway if it does not find any error). Do not check 'rebuild visual similarity index'.
By the way, I have found the this index is the file ItemData.mk4 in the catalog folder. You can delete this file, it will be rebuilt if you need it for ulterior searches by visual similarity. I really don't know if deleting will help, but this will do no harm.

Avoiding resizing after importing video files

Hello,
I'd like to keep the video files I import from my hard in their original size format to avoid quality loss, however I'm unable to locate an option that prevents iMovie from resizing them automatically. Does such an option exist?
If it's impossible to prevent iMovie from resizing the video clips I've captured in a non-DV resolution, could anyone recommend an application that's better suited for editing video that is not collected with a digital camera?
Thanks,
Johannes.

probably, I'm lost in translation, but... as far as I understood you:
iM is a DV-editor, meant to copy (=import lossless) from miniDV camcorders via firewire ...
ANY other codec gets converted for usage in iM.. iM is no 'all purpose, all standards' video editor..
to edit 'other' codecs, you have few options, depending on codecs & size of your wallet...
QTpro edits lots of codecs 'natively', but, for sure, is less convenient than iM; ..
Mpeg Streamclip handles.. ehm, mpegs...
FinalCutPro handles lots of codecs, res, fps...
EyeTV and Capty edit mpeg streams from some devices...
if you like to tell us, what codec your files are and what you're final delivery media is, probably you get more and specific answers ....

When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

LR4 doesn't import video files .avi and cannot playback

Hello,
I have a big issue with my brand new Lightroom 4.
I've been working on my updated catalog (from LR3) very well, since I tried to import fotos and videos from my second camera (olympus E-PL1).
This "old" catalog contains RAW files (NEF and ORF), Jpeg and Video files (.avi).
In LR3 I had no problems in importing video file and in playing the back with the external player.
Now in LR4 is a real disaster!
I cannot even import .avi files properly.
LR is importing fotos but is giving a failure message on most of the video (avi) file.
Sometimes it imports just few videos and sometimes none of them.
I've tried to import them in differnt way: from camera directly, from a card reader, from an external drive and even from the c: hard drive. i've tried to move, and to add them in catalog. NO WAY!
I've also tried to clean the video cache: no changes. To disable GL accelerator: no results. I have no further idea.
I can play these video files in all applications, from WMP to Quicktime. I have also Vlan installed.
Furthermore, while trying to import or playback videos. LR4 is slowing up in a very strange way. And sometime is crashing the last imported session (files not foud)
I've tried to reinstall it, but I didn't see any different result.
I've searched everywhere in the web for a possible solution, but I didn't find anything.
Avi file I'm talking about are coming from a olympus camera E-PL1, they are in 720p.
Please help me, beacuse I am very disappointed wih thios new video feature.
Thank you in advance!
Marco

Yes, I did and I got a strange outcome.
I checked Quicktime, and I reinstalled it.
I restarted the PC.
When LR4 opens, the processes
dynamiclinkmanager.exe
dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe
Adobe QT32 Server.exe.
are not working.
After I opened the import dialog these services started.
For the first time after restarting the PC; I could import a small video and I could playback it without problems.
The second try of importing more videos (4 small ones), went well, but at the playback moment, everything freezed again.
I tried to restart lightroom and to kill the processes listed above, but I had no luck.
Only restarting the PC I could (and not always) importing the videos. The playback did work just few times.
If the first task, after restarting the PC and Lightroom is importing (without waiting the previews of the importing box) generally there is no problem.
If I work with my catalog, which contains videos as well, then the importing dialog (for videos) is not working.
The playback feature seems to be a matter of luck, 90% ot times is not working well.
I run a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
A similar problem was reported as a bug in this post, and if so I wonder why there are not many other users reporting the same problems.

I really hope I can solve it, without waiting for a bug fix.
Thank you

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file.
I can get the file to import if I first right click the file and tell it to "open in source monitor" then tell it to import.
When I do this it indexes the file. After it is done indexing is when I can then import the file.
Should I not just be able to tell it to import and it does the indexing?
These files that I am tryig to open were with Premiere Pro 4.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the specs. of this MPEG file? Might be something in those, that is causing an issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

"Red Error" when importing video files

Hello, I tried importing video files (.MOV) into Final Cut Pro X but this "red file error" just comes out and I don't know what to do. I even tried importing my video clip from my iSight camera but it just shows that red error. I feel like every video file imported gets "redded". I don't know how to solve this problem. Thank you all!
- MT
P.S. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3

You have "Proxy media" selected under Preferences->Playback, but you are not creating proxy media for your clips on import. That's why you get the red clips.
This is easy to solve. Either:
1) Create the proxy media for your clips, by control-clicking, and choosing "Transcode Media..." and checking the box for proxy media;
or
2) Choose "Original/Optimized media" in Preferences->Playback.
Proxy media uses less disk space and is easier to handle than either the original or optimized media, but is of lower quality; but you can do all the editing in proxy, and then just before you are done, switch again to original/optimized. This way you get lower overhead when editing, and still get the better quality result.
This may be even more relevant for older, less powerful macs, or when you need to use an internal drive, or a slow usb drive with FCP X. If you have a fast mac and a fast drive, you can work away without transcoding, for the most part (multicam clips and other heavier edits may still warrant a transcode).

LR5.6 won't import video files

After upgrading from 5.0 to 5.5 & 5.6 LR won't import video files.
Also won't play previously imported video files. Shows only previews.
Any ideas to fix this?

Strange, that some time it worked, but then again errors occurred.

Even when I select a specific media type (or multiple media types) for ingest, Prelude imports .JPG etc. I want to only import video files.

Even when I select a specific media type (or multiple media types) for ingest, Prelude imports .JPG etc. I want to only import video files within a section of subfolders.
please help

Prelude will ingest only the files that you have selected (checked the box next to) in the Ingest Dialog. Can you provide more information or screen shots of what you Ingest Dialog looks like BEFORE you ingest and what your Project Panel looks like AFTER you ingest?
Thanks -

When I import video files, iphoto empties itself...

After a lot of recent iphoto problems (every time I imported photos, iphoto emptied itself...), a lot of iphoto library management, new libraries, etc, I also bought a new card for my camera just in case it was a source of corrupted files...
Anyway. Since I've started out with yet another new iphoto library (and all previous photos & libraries erased from the computer) and a new card in the camera, I've had no new "disappearance acts"... that it until today :
I imported photos from another camera than mine (photos that had previously been imported without any problems to iphoto 09 and also to iphoto 6 on two others Macs). An all to known message came up saying it couldn't import one file, an avi video.
I said OK... Closed iphoto and re-opened it. It told me I had to "update my thumbnails" and then iphoto showed up... empty. (Every time I get that message that's what happens - no matter if I say OK to updating the thumbnails or not).
All the missing photos can still be found in the library (via "Package Contents"). But before I start reconstructing, reimporting or making a new library, I'd like to know why my iphoto won't import video files at all anymore (it never had any problems with that before), no matter what format, why it leads to iphoto emptying itself and what could be the source of the problem??? (other than the usual "damaged datafile"... ;-)).
Also - because I'm getting really tired of all these iphoto problems - what's the best alternative photo application for Mac?
Thank you

Hello again...
Forget that last remark I made. I'm totally losing it. Of course the first will show the date of when the last photo imported was taken and the library6 will show when it was imported.
I do however have another question: is it possible that iphoto can corrupt photos?
This is why I'm thinking this might be the case:
Just so you know, I still haven't trashed my last iphoto library (meaning I can see my "lost" photos in "show package contents" - but when I open iphoto it shows up empty).
I have a photo on my desktop.
It was one of those I imported into my last iphoto.
I dragged it from my desktop to iphoto - and it imported without any problem.
I then dragged the same photo - but this time from the originals folder in "show package contents" - to iphoto and was told that the file could not be read or imported.
I've tried with two other photos and got the same answer : the photos can be imported from the desktop to iphoto but not from the originals folder to iphoto.
Is this normal?? (maybe because I'm importing a photo to a place where it already is???)
Just for "the fun of it" I also tried importing a video I made (which can be viewed of different players on my computer) and was told it couldn't be imported or read...

Itunes Crashes when importing Music File or Folder on Windows 7 64-Bit with Itune 10.5 and update ios 5

Itunes crashes when importing Music File or Folder ever since i updated it yesterday

You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). You may get a more useful error message as to which component has problems.
