Sound but no Video with AVI Files

I'm pulling avi files recorded using a Tricaster into Premiere.  I can hear them but I can't see video.
With Windows Media Player they play fine.  I've installed the codec from the Tricaster CD, but it doesn't appear Premiere is using it.
I'm using Premiere CS5.  I did this before on a PC I don't have anymore with Premiere CS4 and had no problems.
Help!!
Thanks

  • I get sound but no video with imported files

    I used an HD camcorder and uploaded the video onto a computer using final cut pro then moved the original .mov files to my computer to edit it at home. After importing the files into Final Cut Express 4 project, when I play the files there's a white screen and no video but I do still get the audio. If I put anything into the timeline the playback is a red screen that says "Codec could no be opened".

    What format specifically is the media you captured in FCP? Most likely it's in a codec that's not available to FCE. If so you'll have to convert the media to the Apple Intermediate Codec in Final Cut Pro or Compressor.

  • Audio, no video with .avi file

    We have cameras on our buses in which we can save the video to a PC as an .avi video file. (hardware only works on a PC). So now I have a .avi file that we would like to view on our Macs. No matter what program I try, the movie has sound, but no video.
    +According to MediaInfoMac,+
    +Video Codecs Used: WaveCodec+
    +Audio Codecs Used: PCM+
    +File Format: AVI+
    +Encoded with: MEncoder 1.0pre5-3.3.5+
    +Encoding Library: MPlayer+
    +another program mentioned ADV1+
    I have
    * tried both Leopard and Snow Leopard machines
    * Quicktime Pro
    * Perian (made sure the DiVx was unistalled, repaired permission, restarted etc)
    * tried the latest VLN
    I don't mind purchasing a program, but I want to make sure it will work. This is an important program to us and we need it to work.
    Has anyone run across this type of file?

    There is no Mac codec for that video format. Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 on the PC.

    You should try as Barbera Hall suggested. Then you should update your iPod(thats if you havent already)to version 1.1.1

  • QuickTime 7.5 Plays Audio but no Video on .avi file

    Found a good clip to use in a classroom setting, but it is .avi. I updated QuickTime to 7.5, but still only plays audio - no video whatsoever. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Install Perian on the computer; if it doesn't work, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu and check the video format. An AVI file may contain audio and video of any format, and some formats cannot be used on Mac OS X.

  • MPEG2 Sound but NO Video on playback

    I have QT Pro w/the MPEG2 Plug in (both current version) running on OSX 10.4.11 and when I try to open/play a file I get sound but no video. The file works fine with VLP and if I use Handbrake to encode the file in MPEG4 it will play. Why doesn't the MPEG2 file play? That's why I bought the plug in... Is there some other magic that needs to be done?

    I looked at the encoding and it was MPEG so now at least I understand the QT not playing part. Yes the original file was from TIVO downloaded via TiveDecode Manager. I was hoping not to have to do any more encoding to get it to play in QT (want to use a Mac Mini as a Media Center). Using Handbrake I can encode to MPEG4 which does play just fine, it just can take hours to encode. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know. I know on solution is to use VLP as the player but it's not supported in Front Row (from what I can see). Thanks for the help Matti..

  • Quicktime sound but no video

    I have sound but no video with my newly updated quicktime 7. How do I troubleshoot this. I tried reloading the software.

    If you're referring to videos on the web, run 'iDelete QT and Flash Caches' and read the second dialog box, then click 'Yes'.
    iDelete QT and Flash Caches 1.2

  • Sound, but no video when streaming a quicktime file through shockwave

    When I stream a quicktime movie in the html file hosted on localhost using the Apache server, I get sound but no video. I saved the quicktime movie as part of my cast, linked to http://localhost/~username/mymovie.mov 
    When I play the quicktime movie itself in my browser, or in a projector, or just within director, the video and sound play simultaneously. But in the browser after converting the dir movie to a dcr and html file, and hosting the dcr and html files on the server, when I open the html file in my browser, only the sound plays. Anyone else encounter similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi guys,
    here's some quick notes on how I handle shockwave videos with my projects.
    I tend to find that .swf format videos work best under all browsers using shockwave
    easiest way:
    you can do a standard import of a .swf  video straight into a your cast. (not linked)
    the problem with this is it tends to create a large dcr file for you users to download
    'preloadnetthing' way:
    upload your videos to a url location - something like  www.mywebsite.com/the_programs_title/dsmedia/videos/video1.swf
    (I never use capital letters or spaces)
    file - import - internet - <enter the full url pathname to the file>
    this will add the file to the add list
    set media to : Link to External File (Don't use Standard Import)
    now press Import
    at this point Director will try to connect to your url - and do a trial download of the linked file
    if it works you should now see a new linked video cast member added to your cast
    if it fails - (which mine tend to do half the time?) - try it again until it works.
    Here I normally view the linked videos property inspector - and change its settings - I turn loop off - and make sure preload is not set.
    now comes the code part
    To get your videos to play correctly, you will need to preload them into memory, before you play them.
    (although it's possible to stream videos - I've never been able to get this to work well - there is a whole bunch of lingo code to deal with streaming videos)
    *** a frame script for preloading a swf video ***
    on beginSprite
      floatPrecision = 2
      tellStreamStatus(TRUE)
      global gVideosName
      set TEMP to "http://www.mywebsite.com/my_program/dswmedia/videos/" & gVideosName & ".swf"
      global mynetID
      set mynetID = preloadNetThing(TEMP)
      set the text of cast "preload_results" to "0 %"
    end beginSprite
    on exitFrame
      floatPrecision = 2
      global mynetID
      pStatList = getStreamStatus(mynetID)
      if (pStatList.bytesSoFar > 0) then
        pPercentDone = (pStatList.bytesSoFar * 100) / pStatList.bytesTotal
        if pPercentDone > 99 then go NEXT
      end if
      set the text of cast "preload_results" to ((the string of pPercentDone) & " %")
      go loop
    end exitFrame
    *** a frame script for playing a swf video ***
    on beginSprite
    -- I create a blank 'place holder' cast member (a black filled rectangle) the same size as my video, on to my stage - into sprite 1
      set the visible of sprite 1 to TRUE
      set the puppet of sprite 1 to TRUE
      global gVideosName -- REM the name of my linked video cast member
      set the castNum of sprite 1 to cast gVideoName
      updateStage
      sprite(1).play()
      updateStage
    end beginSprite
    on mouseDown
      sprite(1).stop() -- This stops the SWF movie playing !!!
    end mouseDown
    on keyDown
      sprite(1).stop() -- This stops the SWF movie playing !!!
    end keyDown
    on exitFrame
        if sprite(1).playing = false then
           set the puppet of sprite 1 to FALSE
           go to "somewhere" -- REM somewhere you want to go to after the video have finished.
           abort
        end if
      go loop
    end exitFrame

  • After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

    after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?  The self contained movie box is not checked.

    Hi
    Did You go via Compressor ?
    Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
    I don't
    I do
    • In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
    • Select ALL - Clips and Audio
    • Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
    • then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
    • then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
    • I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
    Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,

  • Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files

    i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you

  • CNN video clip news play only sound but no video

    I downloaded the latest windows player and also Quick time Flip for windows. None seems to work. Only the sound of the streaming video came through but no picture. What's wrong with my Safari? Anybody got some input what I did went wrong. Apple computer is not very good with playing most web movies.

    I have a MacBook with Quick Time 7.1.1 and I'm having the same trouble with .avi files; the sound plays, but no video just white screen. Also, when I try to use QT a screen comes that says I need some QT components and directs me to the QT website. I have tried to download some of the components and still no luck.
    Is there anyone having this same problem, and if so does anyone know how to fix it.
    Thanks

  • Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

    Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

    Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

  • Got sound but no video

    Hi
    I imported some footage from my HD Sony Camera with IMovie on my Macbook pro. Then finding the Movie files, copying them to a folder and then burned them to a DVD disk. I wanted to watch the movie files on my PC. I installed the latest Quicktime for Windows XP Pro it opens the file, has sound but no Video.
    If I insert the DVD back in my Macbook Pro I can see the Movie files and they play just fine.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks

    You'll need to "export" your iMovie Projects to QuickTime formats for use with a PC.

  • Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

    Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
    I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
    Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
    Thank you!!!

    Also doesn't work with Grapher (.gcx) documents (an Apple format).
