Video green when imported to premier

I have a .MP4 video clip that plays fine in quicktime and seems fine, as soon as i import the clip into premier pro the video from the clip is green but the audio is still there, i tried importing the clip to encoder to change the format to see if that helped but same issue when i import it there, any ideas?

Are you Windows or Mac?

Thumbnails do not match video content when imported

My thumbnails do not match video content when imported. They assume the look of the first video imported into an event, while showing correct source content when skimmed through. Also, audio for every video clip I import is changed to that of the first clip imported in an event. Very awful to realize only when you've just imported every video you've made. Any thoughts?
Also, my source for clips is an external OneTouch drive, don't know if that plays into the import problem.

Is your Event source list visible on the bottom left of your screen? You should see all your events there.
There is a button at the extreme lower left of the imovie window which allows you to show or hide the event list. Make sure that it is in show position, so you can navigate to your other events.

Video green when mpeg 2 is imported

When I imported the mpeg2 file and aiff sound, put it to a track and linked it to a menu all I got when I simulated the file was a green background with sound. What's the problem

Thank God finally somewhat has the same problem we have been having (OK, I'm not really thankful). The Green Phantom Asset! That is, the asset looks green in the clip window, but plays back as black in simulate. Audio is fine.
For us, the .m2v files will play in Quicktime fine, but not when imported in as an asset.
We believe it only occurs when we use Compressor on a Intel iMac. We can export several very similar sequences (using basically the same media and plug in filters, etc.) and some do fine, others go green on us. I also note that it MAY only occur when we are replacing previously encoded assets, but we need to do more reseach and testing to see if we've had the problem on a first time attempt at encoding and putting it into DVDSP.
Our only workaround is to export from FCP as a QT reference, then import it as an asset. Then, be sure to check your encoding setting (right click on the yellow button) and make sure it matches your other encodings. Then of course, you have a much longer burn, since it DVDSP has to do the heavy lifting.
I hope someone else can figure out the "green phantom" problem.

Video missing when importing Nikon V1 movies

When importing movies in FCPX from a new 1-series Nikon V1 camera only the audio is captured, not the video. The same files (video and audio) play fine in Quicktime and are also captured without problems (although very slowly) in iMovie.

Hi I have bought the Nikon V1 and use it with the 10-100 Vr PD lens. I have just come back from a Skiing Holiday which gave me the opportunity to Test the camera.
I also use a Panasonic AG AF 100 Pro Video camera also
Due to size and weight I only took the V1 only
When I watched the replay on a HD television I was blown away by the quality of this little camera Definition in snow conditions were incredible, fast focus ease of use and LIGHTNESS!
I would compare the cameras as equal, although there are more things you can do with a Panasonic but at 5 times the price
So anybody considering this camera the V1, don't be put off, I am sure the market will soon make the appropriate converter which will solve the current problems

Flashing/noisy line at top of video clip when importing

Hi,
I am running into a strange problem when importing from my video camera. The top scan-line (or two) of the imported video clip is flashing! If anyone knows the reason for this, or has a solution to get rid of this problem altogether, please let me know! (its the first time I've ever tried importing!)
The workaround is to manually crop the top of the video, which I cant really do in imove for free? and would mean having to edit each clip...there goes onestep iDVD
I have a sony tvr310 digital 8 camera and am importing using firewire on my imac.
g5 imac Mac OS X (10.4.3) sony tvr310 digital 8 camera

Analog-to-DV conversion adds narrow black borders to the left & right (and some analog "head switching" noise to the bottom).
If you view the output on a TV, then the overscan will automatically crop the borders out. But if you view the output on a computer monitor, you might want to crop them out. You can do this with MPEG Streamclip ($0):

My TRV320 D8 doesn't have such lines so your problem sounds strange. Have you tried to clean the camcorders heads?

Poor Video quality when importing from SONY DCR-SR100

I am brand new to Mac and iMovie and FCE. One of the reasons I switched to Mac was frustration over poor video output from Windows based video editing programs. When importing video from the SR100 into iMovie and then iDVD, the DVD quality is noticeably poorer than when the camera is connected directly to the Plasma TV. I have been reading these forums and loaded MPEG Streamclip and purchased the Quicktime MPEG2 Download, but I still can't get the video output to look as good as the camera. I obviously have some learning to do, but is there any hope of achieving equal quality output from a DVD as straight from the camera? Is there a good source of information/textbook on this topic? The biggest improvement comes from using the "de-interlace" option in MPEG Streamclip, but the overall quality of the video appears washed out and somewhat blotchy compared to the direct camera footage.

Welcome to the macworld! What imovie does incredibly well is make it easy to create fun and interesting movies. I have used both for several years and only recently with some packages such as adobe premiere elements has the windows world kept up with the mac with respect to ease of use! And even know the packages are still not as easy as imovie. Anyway, with respect to your post and getting the video quality to the best possible output quality using DV material, you are on the right path. The best workflow is to use streamclip and de-interlace prior to editing in imovie. I am not sure if you are doing that yet with your workflow. Yes, its an extra step, but it is well worth it to avoid imovie dropping a field upon export. You can play around with the adjustments to increase contrast, color and et al on the adjustment button. Another option is shooting progressive.
To set expectations, it is second generation footage the minute its imported. However, you should be still getting very good results. FCE gets footage closer to the original footage since it is a true DV editor and uses both fields, but imovie is still preferred by me because of how easy it is to skim, tag and find the material you want then easily do transitions and ken burns for photo's. Fantastic. The way i look at it....watching footage straight from the camera is the worst quality you can get -- It's like listening to your spouse talk and talk and talk and never get to the point until you forget what that point was....editing gets the footage straight to the point....thats quality!

Video quality when importing with letterboxing checked

If I import mini dv shot in 16:9 using the letterboxing during import, does it degrade video quality? What settings are best when importing 16:9 mini dv?
Thanks!

Set the project as DV Widescreen before importing. Do not tick 'Automatic Letterboxing'.

IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
Thank you!

stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
but..
if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
so, what source, what delivery...?

IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
Thanks.

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

Fcp 7 XML not working when importing to Premier CS5.5

It suddenly stopped working, I could import xml's just fine. The only thing I did before it started happening was do maintenance with OnyX.
Its telling me that the PROJECT APPEARS TO BE DAMMAGE. It points to Users, library, caches, temp Items, then project file name.
Things I've tried...Export different xml's, versions 1 thru 5.
Repair disk permissions.
looked at the temp Items folder, and there's no xml file, Just a dinamiclinkmanager file.
Uninstalled cs5.5. Re-install cs5.5 do updates.
To no avail.
It was working perfectly before.
I also started getting an error 24 when trying to install, had to contact adobe they couldn't help me, finally got it back.
More concerned about the xml right now, just mentioned it in case.

The problem is with the recently exported (FCP) xml's, not with Premier. I just Imported an old xml into premier with no issues.

IPhone 6 plus videos choppy when imported to iMac

all of my videos from my iPhone 6 plus are choppy when I import them to iPhoto. They play fine on phone and the choppy parts occur at same spots of playback as if file is corrupt. I tried playing videos in quicktime and opening in iMovie. anyone have same issue? OS X 10.9.5, iPhone 6 plus

So I figured out that Mavericks was not the problem. It still occurred using Yosemite. It played a short video at 60 when I posted last just fine, but wasn't fixed. The problem may lie in your video card not being able to support 60 fps. Its not a common format. I have no problem playing video recorded at standard 30 fps from iPhone. I've read iMovie does not support 60 fps, I don't know why it lets you import it. I only film 30 fps now and it works okay. I noticed that any hiccups in project smooth out on created file.

Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

Hi All,
We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
the video on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
which is fine
and here is the video imported into flash:

We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best wishes

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

Video distortion when importing MOV file into Premiere Pro

On my mac my premiere is having issues when I import .Mov files. I was shooting on my Canon 70D DSLR at 30frames and when I import files the playback breaks up and is distorted at various points. It doesn't seem like all the files are doing this only some of them have this problem when they are imported. The footage was all shot under the same settings in the same 3 hour period. I tried exporting files and the distortion is still present in the exported media file. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.

Interesting that it's on the same frames ... have you certain effects that would impact those more than others?
Also ... only 8Gb RAM, sounds like one internal that's pretty much stuffed, and footage on an external ... PrPro runs a ton of crap through both the CPU & the GPU (depending on what you're doing and how much it "likes" your GPU/Vram) and also writes massive files to the database, media cache, and through the CPU use the OS's system cache typically. You've got a LOT of readin'/writin' going on, and with only 40Gb free there's not a lot of free space for things to be just parked for random access in a moment or two.
Also curious ... what's the connection to the external? USB2 or 3? Thunderbolt? eSATA?

No audio or video stream when importing prores or dnxhd footage transcoded in FootageStudio 4k

Before anyone says anything, I already have the most recent version of quicktime and avid codecs. I am running on Windows 8 on my PC and thought this could be my issue but I am not sure. When I transcode my GH4 4k H.264 footage to prores or dnxhd and then import the whole folder it cant read it. BUT if i import one clip at a time the clips can be read, so I thought I had solved my issue. So I started editing and saved and closed the project, and when I opened it the next day to come back to it, all the footage was offline, and it wouldnt read all of it. I have no idea what is going on and it is annoying. I was so pumped that I was finally going to have prores on my PC and then this crap. Any help would be wonderful, thanks!

Also, CS2 has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous

Why does my video skip when importing into iMovie?

I'm using a Canon HD video camcorder (HV20) to import my home videos into iMovie. After starting the import, the video being recorded in iMovie often "skips" (flickers on the computer screen / sound is also affected) yet the video playing on the camcorder plays without any issues. Can someone help?

You would get better results if you convert the MP4 ciips into Apple Intermediate Codec before editing. After editing you can render them back into MP4 if you want.
MPEG Streamclip (free) will do this conversion. Or get iMovie 09 and it will do it.
