Trouble importing cinepro avi video

Hi. I have a bit of a newbie question.
I've created some video with the Cinepro codec in .avi form (with Vmix video switching software). Recording at 1080/60i.
Trying to import it into Premiere Pro CC (Trial) for editing, I'm getting lots of green frames flashing, and it seems impossible to edit this codec. It works everywhere else I try to play it including the crappy windows movie maker software.
Anyone give me advice how to get my cinepro .avi's to work in Premiere Pro?
(The files are recorded in 10 minute chunks and are about 6 GB's a piece)

I've run MediaInfo (Good program by the way), and this is the information I got:

Again, I am very new to this, so I am constantly learning new things. I appreciate any insight you may have.
It may also be important to note that I am using the TRIAL version of Premiere Pro CC. I'm not sure if it cripples video output or not (I didn't think it did)

Trouble importing pre-existing videos on my computer into iTunes?

I'm having trouble importing pre-existing videos on my computer into my iTunes library? For example, I've tried adding a home video and opening it with iTunes, etc, and no error comes up or anything, it just doesn't show up in my iTunes library, not in the music, TV, Movies, Podcasts or Radio. What is the problem, does the video need to be converted to a suitable format? If so, what is this and how do I do this? I'm a new iTunes and iPod user so I would really appreciate any solutions or advice to this problem.

ARG!! me too! I have Widnows Vista as well!! PLEASE!!!! if you EVER find out how to fix this... tell me! I have a video I downloaded from You Tube and it's in the ".flv" format! Apple reads .MP4 along with many others... but this might be a type it doesn't support! so if you ever found out how to fix this.... TELL MEEEE!!!!

Why cant i import a .avi video??

i am trying to import a .avi video into imove '08. but when i go File > Import Movies... the video that i want to import is in grey and cannot be selected. I have also tried converting it into .mov using Quicktime, which worked fine but the file is still 'unselectable' in imovie.
any help would be much appreciated.

AVI is just a container (like .mov) and it's what inside that prevents iMovie 7 from using it.
You'll need to export the file using different codecs. Export to DV Stream is best to preserve quality but makes a huge file.

How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

Status:
- Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
- I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
Problem:
- I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
Question:
- Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
- I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
Thanks for any help.

Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.

When I upload/import a .AVI video into MPEG Streamclip, I lose the audio.

Whenever I upload a .AVI video into MPEG Streamclip, I lose the audio. The video plays fine in Quicktime but when I upload into MPEG Streamclip, the audio is replaced with some "clicking" sounds. Can someone please help me resolve this and fix it so that my audio gets imported as well? By the way, this is a problem that is only with .AVI files. When I try importing MP4 videos, they work fine and the audio gets imported as well. I need to resolve this so that I can convert my videos from .AVI to DV format with the sound. Thanks!

Basically you can only add a video file to Itunes if it is either MP4 or the other supported format h2.. <---- i forget what its called i had this problem when i first plugged my i-pod in and got extremely aggitated until i realised and sorted it
that said i dont therefore understand the convert for i-pod button when the only video files able to be added are already in ipod compatible format? doesnt make sense to me but then maybe im missing something i mean i am a nOOb!

Trouble importing and playing video in Lightroom 5

I mainly use Lightroom for photos, but I do use it to organize my videos. Lightroom 5.3 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.9.2.
Videos from all of our iPhones import and play perfeclty.
Video from the Nikon D90 will import sometimes, but will rarely play. You can scroll across the preview icon and see the video, but when you click on to play it, it will only play a few seconds of the video but will continue to play the audio.
I have converted the .avi files to .m4v in order to play in iTunes and Apple TV. I've tried importing the .m4v files to Lightroom as well but always get an error: "Connecting to dynamic link server failed."
Not sure what is going on or what I may be doing wrong. I've successfully imported the videos from the camera to Aperture. Not sure why I can't get Lightroom to work.
Thanks for any help.

Exact same problem as well. When I try to import CDs either in iTunes or Windows Media Player I have problems. iTunes will play a track or two, but usually the imports ring in around 755 minutes and change and are corrupt. Windows Media Player has similar issues.
What's strange is that my drive works just fine for burning DVDs, installing software from disc, or watching DVD movies, so I'm a little in the dark. Any ideas?

Having Trouble importing? No Video's in Log and Transfer?

I have video footage's in my HD camera, and I want to import it to Final Cut, so first I got to Easy Setup and set the format to HD and set the ''use'' to HDV 1080i60. Then I open up Log and Transfer and they are no clips. There's just a blank row/list of no video's? Where are my video's?
And if I go back to Easy Setup, everything is all messed up, like the format is set to AVCHD. Everything is all different from how I set it before. What is going on?
P.S. My camera is a Samsung Full HD 1920X1080

Trouble importing analog 8mm video with Premiere Elements 9.

I have some old analog 8mm tapes that i'm using a sony camcorder to import through firewire. When I try to import the entire tape (2hrs) It doesn't automatically add the tape to the organizer or timeline. But it does create the .mov file and I can open and play it in quicktime. Problem is when I try to import it into adobe premiere elements 9. It gives me an error: Too many audio channels in file. When I take shorter clips less than 5min. The clips automatically get imported correctly and no error is given. When I compare the video files both have the same audio info, but the longer video will not import. I'm really confused. any ideas?

Either something is very wrong on your system or there's something you're not telling us.
You're capturing your video by going to Premiere Elements' Get Media and selecting From DV Camcorder, right?
If so, when you capture your video, it should show up in your project when you click the Project button (under the Organize tab).
Is this not the case?
You keep referring to the Organizer. You should not be using the Organizer to capture your video. You should use Premiere Elements' Get Media/From DV Camcorder. Is this what you're doing?

I always get an ERROR when I import avi videos in After Effects !!

Hi There
As I said in the title ,,
I always get an error when I import an (avi) video into After Effects CS5.5 ,,
and I don't Know why ,
in other hand I can open the same video I imported it in many media programs like : Windows Media Player-Quike Time-Windows Media Center- Real Player ,, except After Effect !
Although the same Program I used before Formatting the computer ,, but after Formatting the Projects file for Adobe After Effect didn't Open as well !!
The Picture I attached shows the Error ,,
Note:
the question marks in the pictures are for the Arabic name of the avi video ,,and this version of Adobe After Effect CS5.5 is trail ,,
I hope to find a solution for my problem ,,
and I'll Be Thankful

It worked , both what you said worked ,,
First I placed them on the desktop ,
Second I changed the names of the videos ,,
and both of them worked ,,
thanks a lot for your help ,

have a good day

How do I import AVI video with stereo audio (and keep it that way)?

Today I just discovered that all the AVI video with stereo audio I've ever imported into a Premiere Pro CS6 project has been mysteriously converted to mono. And I can't find any import setting anywhere that enable me to change this.
Here's the deal...
I've have an AVI file with stereo audio (the file is actually a stereo sound test that I downloaded to prove that I wasn't imagining things). On my hard drive, I right-click and view the properties:
Video
Length: 00:00:36
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 25 frames/second
Audio
Bit rate: 128kbps
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate: 44 kHz
I click on it to play and listen with headphones--everything is playing in the correct part of the stereo spectrum. Then, I import it to Premiere, click the file name in the left content menu, and check the properties, suddenly they read:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 1.1 MB
Image Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
Project Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 00:00:36:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Sure enough, I drag it into the sequence, listen to it, and it's indeed playing mono. Outside of Premiere, the original source file still reads and plays correctly with stereo sound.
When I import stereo WAVs and MP3s, it keeps the original stereo channels without me having to do anything special. I even just imported the same exact file as a MOV with stereo audio, and it showed up in Premiere as:
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
What is going on here with AVIs? Am I doing something wrong? Are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
(And before anyone suggests I only use MOV in the future... that's not exactly the answer I'm looking for.)

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,

Having trouble importing mpeg videos from an external hard drive to iMovie or iPhoto. Keeps saying unrecognizable format. How do I get it to work?????

I have always had a dell computer. But after the 3rd crash, we decided to throw it out and get a mac. We bought this computer a week ago. I was able to save all our family pics and videos from the dell to an external hard drive. So when I got the new Mac set up, I plugged the hard drive in and had no problem importing all our pictures. But when I tried to import our videos, I ran into some problems. We have had 3 different cameras with each having a different video format. All our videos are either avi, mpeg, or mov. All the avi videos imported successfully but the others will not. I tried importing them into imovie and iphoto and neither one will recognize the format. iphoto says unrecognizable format and imovie just completely freezes and I have to force quit. Here is what is funny. I took the hard drive to my local store and when they hooked it up to their computer, they imported beautifully. Why won't it do the same for my brand new computer? Thanks!

.AVI video not importing correctly. Imports as audio only.

System: window vista 64 bit
Project type: whatever the standard new project is at the startup screen
Problem: I am importing .avi video files and they are importing as audio only. it will not allow me to drag them into the video slot on the timeframe, and it displays only the speaker symbol in the media management area. Here's the funny bit. I used these files previously in another session June-July 2009, and they worked fine then. I am lost and need assistance!(PLEASE!!)
Stumped Like a Chump

If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

Import avi video with uncompressed PCM audio

I am unable to import into iMovie 10 or FCP X the audio portion of avi videos with uncompressed PCM audio. I just get the video and silence. They imported fine into previous versions of iMovie. Of course, I can use conversion programs to produce versions that import, but I have hundreds of hours of video in this format, so I would prefer not to have to do that. Is there a plug-in that would solve the problem?

Thank you for that info.

AVI Files import audio fine, video does not playback correctly

Premiere Pro CS4 imports my AVI file's audio, but video playback does not match up; that is, the audio will playback until finish, but it appears that the video portion only reaches the third or fourth frame of the video! All other video formats import just fine.
This issue did not occur in CS3.
I use Windows XP SP3.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I solved the problem by installing the proper codec (LEAD MJPEG).
Now I have another problem -- when scrubbing through videos, it seems as if the audio doesn't follow the cursor. That is, if I scroll to the MIDDLE of a video, I hear audio from the BEGINNING of the video, as if I had just paused and resumed.
What could be the problem here?? This appears to happen for DivX movies, which I actually don't use often. But still, this would be a nice problem to solve.

Will FCP 7 import AVI video from my Nikon D90?

Will FCP 7 import AVI video directly from my Nikon D90?
If not, is there a simple workaround?

The material has to be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec. You can probably do this using MPEG Streamclip.
