Viewing mov, avi, and mp4 files in photoshop 12

How can I view mov, mp4, and avi files in Photoshop 12?

thanks for your reply Tom. the video is from cameras, video cameras, vhs tapes, and mini dvds. everything looks much worse after import into fcpx;  i haven't imported hd files. The specs. are, everything gets blurry and color pales.  i just tried importing four more files (and optimized), all mov, (no avi or mp4), and there is no change in quality. I'm comparing the video in fcpx to the same video before it was imported. i've compared it side by side to the files being played in quicktime, real player, idvd, and el gato eye tv (third party video capture software). everything is crisp and color is vibrant before going into fcpx.

  • Importing avi and mp4 files into iPhoto

    I just finished importing my PC photo library into iPhoto and I ran into a snag.
    iPhoto does not import video files in *.avi or *mp4 format.
    On my old PC photo library, I have video clips taken into mostly avi format with older digital cameras, and which are stored in the same photo directories by date. When I realized that I could not sync avi files to my iOS devices, I used a conversion program to convert the the avi files to mp4 format, and was able to sync these to my iOS devices.
    Now apparently iPhoto does not recognize these mp4 files. I would like to have my video clips in iPhoto so that I can sync them as needed to my iOS devices through iTunes and also sometimes use them for video editing in iMovie. Within iMovie, I see where there is a link to the iPhoto video library... so somehow I have to get these into a format recognized by iPhoto.
    Can anyone recommend a method that will accomplish this? I assume I will have to convert the avi/mp4 files to some other format. Is there a utility that will extract out the video files from my hundreds of photo directories and let me convert them to the accepted format by iPhoto, preferably keeping the time/date stamp intact?

  • Sound but video frozen when playing  .AVI and  .MP4 files

    I have several movie AVI movie files that cannot be played properly with Quicktime pro 7.4: the sound plays normally, but the video image remains frozen. These files play perfectly with VLC and Real Player. The identical problem happened with an iTunes movie rental. The problem persists after installing Perian, and re-installing Quicktime.
    Any recommendations about how to troubleshoot this?

    Here's what my Movie Inspector states.  What do I need to do to get Quick Time to show my video?  Audio is working fine.  Am I out of luck?
    If I remember correctly, "m2v1" identifies "muxed" MPEG-2 content which has been imported from a camcorder by any current/recent version of iMovie. Basically, it is an all I-frame version MPEG-2 video. (I.e., all P- and B-frames have been converted to I-frames to make the video QT edit compatible on systems with iMovie '07 thru iMovie '11 installed.)

    I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....

    I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,

  • Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

    Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice?  Thanks!

    Hi Susan,
    It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
    There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
    So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
    Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
    ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
    Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
    Do keep us posted please .
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Hidden .avi and .jpg files

    I see that I have some .AVI and .JPG files that are hidden in iphoto that I thought I had deleted. Some are in a folder that is labeled "untitled folder". I googled and searched to see if there is any way to retrieve these pictures and movie clips and delete them for good but so far I haven't found any answers. I can get to the untitled folder by doing a seach in finder for .avi or .jpg. There are acutally a couple I would like back in my iphoto library but it won't let me drag them in there. I'd be glad if anyone has ideas! Thanks

    Hi LN. When I mentioned the untitled folder to someone from Apple when I had some other problems with iphoto they told me that somehow in a previous version of iphoto that my pictures had been saved some other place then the original and modified folders and that it had created it's own folder- either at that time or when I upgraded. So now I have this folder with no way to access what is in it. They wouldn't address the question when I called because we were dealing with this other issue and so it has been left unresolved... thanks!

  • No Avi and MPG sound in Photoshop Elements 7

    Hi to all...
    I will appreciate very much if someone could help me...
    I'm evaluating Photoshop Elements 7 ( PSE7) and Photoshop Premier 7 ( PRE7 ).
    and I'm getting problem in reproducing audio in PSE7 and, to be more objective,
    the facts are bellow, in separated lines:
    *  PSE7 : All video formats play image
    *  PSE7 :  AVI and MPG play without sound, 3GP and WMV play with sound
    *  PRE7 :   All formats record and play video and sound
    Other programs in my computer:
    *  WMP11 (Windows Media Player) :  All formats with video image and sound
    *  VLC (open source) :  All formats with video image and sound
    *  PICASA : AVI and MPG play without sound, 3GP and WMV with sound
    SOUND CARD :  RealTech, built in Mother board
    NOTES:
    1- No error messages were displayed at any time
    2- I installed a Windows Vista CODECs package ( with more or less 19 essential CODECs ) but the situation remains the same in PSE7
    Could some one help me ?
    Lots of thanks in advance,
    Miguel Garcia

    Hi nicole sherz
    Lots of thanks for your answer.
    In my case the problem was related to my sound card configuration.
    I'm using vista and, when 5 channel surround is selected, PSE is unable to play sound from most avi and mpg files (although there are some
    avi, from my canon S5IS that plays fine).
    When I select only two channels in sound card, through vista, all file formats plays well.
    Thanks again for your answer.

  • How to play AVI and MKV files on a Mac?

    First let me say I'm converting to mac soon. Hence these questions.
    I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
    Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
    Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
    Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
    Thank you.

  • Playing AVI and DivX files

    I've recently bought a Mac Book and am struggling to play AVI and DivX files. What seemed so easy on my old PC now seems impossible on my Mac.
    I've looked at the past forums and tried a few past suggestions, but nothing works. I've tried downloading DivX for Mac with all the codecs, VLC Media Player, Perian and I've even tried coverting through DivX Doctor II.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I don't think this fixes your problem but it at least keeps the thread going until someone with the answer posts. The one thing you didn't mention was fip4mac. I don't know it those others cover what it does or not. If you have downloaded the file you can control click on the file and select get info. When that comes us select open with. Change what ever that is to QuickTime. Sometimes that lets you view some files. I feel your pain, the change over takes a little time. Hang in there mate, it will be worth it.

  • Matching ".avi" and ".srt" files into a single clip of ".mov" file

    I think "iSkysoft iMedia Converter" is the right converter to get .mov files from .avi files. (Any other suggestions will be appreciated)
    My problem is something else:
    I have "subtitles file" in .str format corresponding with the "movie file" in .avi format.
    However, the subtitles (.str) file can be matched with the movie (.avi) file only while you are watching it.
    Question : Is it possible to get a single (.mov) clip with the subtitles "sticked" on the moving image? 
    Thanks.

    "iSkysoft iMedia Converter"
    Never heard of it.
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:

    Neither iMovie nor iDVD can handle subtitles. For that you need to move up to Final Cut Express and iDVD Pro.
