Trouble viewing QT files shot in HD -audio is fine though

I am having some issues with some HD video I am attempting to edit. It was shot on 3 cams, 2 in 1080i50 and one in 720p. The shooter loaded all of the files into what appears to be quicktime. Only thing is, I pull up the video and all I get is a blank screen with audio playing just fine. When I first open one of the files, a QT alert pops up, telling me that 'Additional software is required for QT time playback this media. It may be available from the QT Components page. Only thing is I am not sure which component is needed. What is this and how do I get around this to view the files?

You don't have the video codec needed to playback those files.
Open one of the files in QuickTime Player. Press command an i keys together.
What does it say in the info window next to "Format"?

  • Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari

    i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Trouble viewing .tif files in bridge?

    When I open a folder of images in Bridge I can see the CR2 files but the edited .tif files only appear as a generic .tif icon, and when I press the space bar to try to preview them larger I get that same icon. I can see some of the .tifs as the icons but when I try to view those larger it's only a tiny preview image, like a 1"x1" icon. The only way I can view the images is to physically open each one in photoshop

    CR2 files are raw Canon files. If you can open them, it means your OK as far as the installation of the proper version of the ACR Plugin.
    If you can't see the thumbnails of the TIFFs but you can open the files themselves in Photoshop by double-clicking on them, then all you may have to do is Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu of Bridge Tools > Cache > Purge cache for folder "name_of_folder".
    Note that I am flying blind here as you haven't provided any sensible, meaningful and detailed information about your setup.
    If you gave some sensible, complete and detailed information, someone may be able to help you, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, etc.

  • Unable to view pdf files sourced from websites

    Hi
    I have previously had no trouble viewing pdf files from various websites, however am now unable to.  It appears to be loading and then just comes up with a blank screen.
    I am able to view pdf files which have been emailed without problem.
    I have removed Acrobat Reader & reloaded but this has not helped.
    I am able to view pdfs on our laptop & ipad and the settings appear to be the same.
    Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this problem?
    Thanks!

    For Safari, you need to remove the adobe pdf plugins which Adobe apparently screwed up.  You need to remove:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
    I think you can "get away with" removing just the second one.  But both for sure should allow you to open pdf's in a browser (all browsers).
    If you are not using Safari the above will work for other browsers too, although in FireFox, you could just disable the use of those plugins from within Firefox (Tools menu --> AddOns --> Plugins).

  • Cant view PSD files !

    I cant view PSD files I just get a blue icon,  I also cant see the pic larger of course in preview.  Is this normal!!!   I have no trouble viewing PSD files in other graphic viewers not made by Adobe!!  I can even view them in my explorer program (total commander).  Surely you must be able to view PSD files in a program made by adobe or what is the point in using Bridge?!!!
    I should say I am using Bridge CS5 and the psd file was made with photoshop CS5
    OOOPS It was my fault   the size limti I had set was too low, I increased this and now its fine.

    The XMP thumbnail is probably what is getting used in this case.  Even for images saved without Maximize Compatibility, the Ardfry PSD Codec can use the image in the XMP for the thumbnail if it's present.  Recent versions of Photoshop allow you to choose whether to save a thumbnail image independently of whether or not Maximize Compatibility is set.
    However, larger thumbnails and viewing a large image in the preview pane (as well as Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media Center) are dependent on having the flattened image available.  The same behavior is found with Preview on the Mac.
    If any bit of your workflow is non-Adobe, then setting Maximize Compatibility is probably a good idea.

  • Iightroom version 1.4.1 cannot  view Raw files

    Im having trouble viewing RAW files taken on a Nikon D700.

    Harvie,
    Yes, that would be the case. The D700 came out much later than LR 1.4.1, and it produces raw files that that version of LR doesn't understand.
    You can either download and use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNGs (which your version of LR will read), or you can upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom, for probably $99. (Rumour has it that LR3 will be announced in the next couple of days.) Personally, I'd do the latter. Lots of improvements since LR 1.

  • Trouble viewing my Phantom 4K cine files in Premiere

    I am having trouble viewing my Phantom 4K cine files in Premiere. Playback is quite good, but the picture is abnormally dark. I have seen in other forums that I am not the only one to have this issue. Is there a fix?
    Thank you.

    Hi EatsMungotictus,
    We support the format, but for now you will have to apply a LUT (via Effects > Color Correction > Lumetri) to obtain correct image. We'll work on improving the picture moving forward.
    Sorry for any inconvenience.
    Thanks,

  • I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?

    I am having trouble playing MFX files in Premiere Pro CC. The audio is out of synch. Is there a way to monitor the audio correctly?
    Many thanks

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

    What version of iMovie is this? Where did this media come from? It's probably in a format or codec not supported by your computer.

  • How do I view "TOD. file format" on my Mac

    Hi,
    My problem: How do I view "TOD. file format" on my MacPro Book?
    I am a marine scientist, working on very small marine animals, my research methods is to record these animals swimming and then track their movement with image tracking software.
    Equipment:
    + 3 x JVC GZ-HD7 Cameras which records in true 1920x1080i video, storing files in .TOD file format.
    + MacBook Pro + huge external hard-drive to handle these files.
    + Final Cut Express
    The Hard-drive of the cameras is full and I need to download the footage, so I can record more experiments.
    I’ve tried to backing up footage on the JVC DVD Burner, CU-VC40.
    But when I try to view this on the Mac, there is the same problem with the .TOD file format.
    I’ve tried installing the QuickTime component for Everio = no difference.
    Any help would be great!!!!
    I understand biology and computers & tech is starting to give me a headache.
    Thanks!!

    Hello everybody,
    first of all I wanna thank the founders for that great forum. Found interesting information here.
    Hopefully I'll help with some data and have some questions at the same time.
    After researching several communities I use MPEG SC 1.9 to convert the TOD files. There was a little disturbance, either to convert to HDV or AIC. Hopefully my little test will display the difference:
    TOD file 39.7 MB in 1920x1080
    DV file 46.3 MB in roughly 1.5 min
    adjustments within MSC...Format: DV Stream(PAL, Interlaced,16:9, Audio rate 48000khz), scale Interlaced, color re-interlace, upper pic first
    -> FCP no render for Video necessary
    -> hopefully I got all menue options halfway right. Apparently I'm not US and use a german version
    MOV file 143.6 MB with Apple Intermediate Codec in exactly 1 min
    adjustments within MSC...Format: Quicktime Export, Compression AIC, Audio uncompressed, 1920x1080, scale Interlaced, color re-interlace, upper pic first
    -> FCP rencer for Video necessary
    -> hopefully that's the codec everybody means, when talking AIC !?
    General FCP question here:
    I've set it to HDV 1080i 50 and then imported the files to the project. Apparently the movie in the canvas (100% size) should be huge, a lot of scrolling bars. But it isn't. It's a little bit bigger than the canvas or viewer window and the picture isn't that clear.
    Same thing with the TOD file in Mpeg SC. It's not crystal clear, far away from expectations. Cars in city limits seem to have stripes while in motion. The frame size doesn't fit. It should be bigger than my smaller display can display.
    Here's the info out of Mpeg SC:
    Stream: MOV001.TOD
    Pfad: ~/Movies/MOV001.TOD
    Typ: MPEG transport stream
    Dauer: 0:00:13
    Datenmenge: 39.73 MB
    Bit Rate: 24.66 Mbps
    Video Spuren:
    4113 MPEG-2, 1920 × 1080, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 28.00 Mbps, oberes Halbbild zuerst
    Audio Spuren:
    4129 MP2 stereo, 48 kHz, 384 kbps
    Stream Dateien:
    MOV001.TOD (39.73 MB)
    Why is the 1920x1080 not the size it should be ? Honestly, if that s the quality from a daylight shot I will sell that camcorder right away and buy a PAL system mini DV for half the price. It's bad !
    I've chosen Apple FCP unkompr. 8-Bit 4:2:2 in MSC.
    At least I got a 1920x1080 picture/movie. But what does 8Bit 4:2:2 mean ?
    Is that what all of you do ? Guess not.
    22 sec of movie 78.7 MB big turn out to 2.55 GB !!!
    Still the quality isn't that great. Would someone please help me with the parameters in MSC to convert ? That would be awesome.
    Lowlight quality of the camcorder is really bad. One bulp and it's spooky dark. But that's not that bad, if at least perfect lid scenes would be great.
    I still wait for those super color pics
