What codecs do I need..???

I recently shot video on the JVC GY-HM100U.  The native files will not open in Premiere Pro CS3. When Trying to open the files or import into Premiere Pro I get a generic error message. What codecs do I need to fix this for the mpg4 format of file the JVC creates..??

You do not need a codec, that wont do you any good.
The only way to get these files into CS3 is to convert them.
See if Cineform Studio will convert your files to Cineform AVI. They are eas to edit.
Cineform Studio will only work with mp4 as its original for the GoPro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support).

    Quicktime should be able to natively handle .mov files. Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer. If that doesn't work, try an alternative media player like VLC, which can play just about any type of media file.

  • What codec do i need

    I recently received a .mov file, but when I try to open it Quicktime tells me I don't have the correct CODEC and send me to their codec intaller website. I have intalled several codecs, but none seem to work. How do I find out what codec I need to play the file...

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Photoshop Elements cannot load mts video and says I need to install the proper codec. What codec do I need and where do I find it?

    I have a new Dell Inspiron with 8G memory and an Intel i7 processor. I just installed PSE12 and Premier12. I tried to import some video into the Organizer, but the thumbnails are just grey squares, and when I double-click, I get an error message that the system does not have the required codec installed. I don't know what codec this might be or where to find out. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Let me add that I'm running Win 8.1 AND the Premier 12 package runs the video clips just fine. The problem seems limited to the Organizer display.

  • What codec do I need to view a native Final Cut Pro video file in Quicktime

    Greetings all. My video editor provided me with a video file in the native Final Cut Pro format to save time as he could not convert to a .mov file. He said that he is able to open it in Quick Time Pro. I tried opening it in Quick Time Pro but I can just hear the audio. I am guessing it is a Codec issue as I my operating system is Vista (sorry!), and therefore I don't have Final Cut Pro installed. Any suggestions regarding what I need to do to be able to view the video in QT would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
    My ultimate objective is to open it in QT Pro and convert it to a QT Movie, so I can then convert it to Flash Video for online streaming.

    Ask the creator to send you an H.264 version of the file. The current file can't be viewed on a PC and there are no PC versions of the codec.

  • What codecs to use for panasonic HDX200 in quicktime / iMovie

    Hey guys.. I am familiar kind of with iMovie and fina cut express but I had some fotage shot for me with a panasonic HDX200 and need to know how to get that footage to play with quicktime and iMovie app. What codecs do I need and where do i get them?
    I appreciate any help!
    Thanks!
    Donnie

    Hello,
    I guess you're refering to HVX200 (HDX doesn't exist IMHO)
    HVX200 records in DV and DVCPro HD formats.
    For DVCPro HD, you need a codec not coming with standard Mac OS X installations.
    This codec is bundled with Final Cut Pro software.

  • What codec does SpeedGrade render mov files to?

    I just  rendered my first SG project. It was exported to MOV but my QT player won't play it as it's apparently missing a codec. What codec do I need?

    Most likely you rendered to an uncompressed codec (i.e. AJA/BM uncompressed)
    Click "Other..." -> Quicktime and then choose a codec that was installed with Quicktime player. For example H.264

  • What codec or plug-in do I need to see audio

    What codec or plug-in do I need to see audio & video on .mov files in quicktime?

    OK, I will get it!
    This is where I went and it is unfortunate I have to go through this evry time:

    too frustrating:

  • 30 frames per second on a 2nd generation iMac (333 MHz) - what codec?

    I'm trying to make video play at full speed on my old iMac. So far, I haven't been successful but I haven't been using optimal source video, the tester video needed about every frame to be a key frame, and the result was anywhere from 1-15 fps.
    I don't care about quality. I want it to look blocky. But I want it to fill the screen (800x600) and I want it to play at full speed. I can go as low as 18 fps but would love to keep it at or above 24.
    I am currently testing it on a os x 10.3.9 with vlc or QuickTime pro. Quicktime seems to maintain the frame rate better, but I want the playlist function of vlc.
    1) what codec would you try? Again, compression artifacts don't bother me. That's actually the look I am going for. My best luck so far has been MPEG-1 with 640x480 and .5 Mbps bit rate. Sorenson, sorenson 3, and even cinepak, all at lowest quality didn't come as close as MPEG-1. I'm compressing a cinepak now with 256 colors, but that might be too limiting for some of my videos.
    2) In this instance, would it better to encode at 800x600, full screen size, or allow vlc to scale it up?
    3) would I see a dramatic performance boost if I ran this from Linux, like yellow dog? Since this is all I am using the computer for I suppose I could do this all from the command line, but I'd like to have a GUI at first while I get comfortable with vlc from the command line.
    4) do you think my limitations are more from the ram, processor, or video card? I'm happy to upgrade the ram and the video card, I just don't want to waste money on a computer that otherwise has no value to me.
    Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help!

    I actually tried photojpeg, thinking I could get around my keyframe issue, but it had the same result. I'm trying it with some new source footage, and I'll see if that one works.

  • What Software Do I need to add Chapter Markers

    I've got a 55 min QuickTime movie file that I'd like to simply add Chapter Makers as well as setup a Chapter Menu selection at that beginning.
    Also, I'd like to be able to render this file to a format that will playback on any DVD player.
    To be able to edit/sweeten the audio and/or video is not a priority....I'd just need to add chapters so to divide up this one-long-movie into...well...chapters.
    What software do I need that will do this?
    Thanks.
    Mac 17" MacBook Pro
    Mac OSX 10.4.10
    Processor: 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

    You can add chapter markers using Quicktime Pro if you don't need to edit the movie.
    You can find detailed instructions in the Apple document Chapter Tracks.
    These instructions teach how to add a chapter track, containing your chapter titles and timecodes, to an existing quicktime movie without using iMovie or FCE or other editing software. No codec, compression, or conversion is applied to your video and audio, which are left alone. Only a new text track with adequate formatting is added.
    A few additional notes:
    - you need Quicktime Pro (30$)
    - you must correct a couple of points in the Apple instructions:
    a. in step 3. you have first to +enable the text track+ in the Property Window of the movie, and then you can use the Text to Text option in the Export Menu (otherwise no Text to Text option is made available).
    b. step 10 must be corrected as follow: +"Open Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, choose the *Video Track* ( not: new text track). Choose Other Settings then choose your Text track in the Chapters popup"+

  • What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

    What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

    As Kirk says, if you have your camera, you can attach it directly.
    Further, if you preserved the entire file structure of your camera (not just the .mts files, but also the folders on the camera), then you can import from that via FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE.
    When you import from a camera, it is recommended that you keep a camera archive so you always have the originals available.
    If you have the .mts files out of context, you will need a third party app to convert. Two that I know of are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. You should convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec. And then use FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE.

  • What  codecs does Elements 7 understand?

    Does anyone know what codecs Elements 7 understands?
    I have both .avi and .mp4 files that I'd like to edit.
    I believe the avi files have been encoded via Xvid.
    Can I make Elements 7 work with these types of files?
    Thanks
    -Mike

    Michael,
    As Steve says, it is "best" to feed PE the files that it likes the best, DV-AVI.
    Now, PE *will* work with many files in other formats, provided that you have the proper CODEC's installed on your system. It's less about PE's working with CODEC's, and more about it working with file types. For instance, PE can Export to most CODEC's, that you have properly installed.
    Now, let's go back to "feed[ing] PE the files that it likes the best... " Since every AV file that you Import will be converted into DV-AVI for editing by PE, I find that it is better to do this conversion outside of PE. NLE's, like PE, really do not need to do extra work, and the conversion of AV files IS extra work. NLE's are designed to edit AV files, not convert them.
    I use a shareware converter, DigitalMedia Converter (Deskshare), and it works almost perfectly for me. It WILL use every properly installed CODEC on any of my systems. At last count, my workstation had about 450 and the laptop 340 installed (Audio & Video). It allows batch conversion, is quick and quite good. There are freeware, and other shareware converters available. I do not use any others for 99% of my work, as DigitalMedia Converter just handles it - including DivX and Xvid, with hardly a hiccup. For me, it's about the best US$40 that I've spent, right next to the "Pro" version of QT.
    In my workflow, I always start a Project by organizing and converting all of my Assets, so they work best with my NLE. If I had a bunch of non-DV-AVI files, I'd gather them into a folder, "Video," and make a folder, "Converted Video." While I was getting any stills ready in PS, I'd turn DigitalMedia Converter loose with the conversion of all Video Assets to DV-AVI with PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit stereo Audio. By the time my stills are re-sized and corrected for TV (assuming I'm in a DVD Project, like I normally am), my Video files are all converted and ready for Import. I do the same thing for all MP3 Audio Assets, as PCM/WAV (to spec above) is what works best.
    Now, I'm ready to Import and get to editing, which is what PE (or any NLE really) is all about. They use a good amount of a system's resources already, so I do not want them bogged down having to convert file types also. Besides, 3rd party converters usually do a much, much better job with the conversion - that is what THEY do best.
    It will save you a lot of grief if you incorporate ideas, like these, into your workflow, and do them outside of your NLE. Also, I find that it's also better to organize one's Assets into the Project's folder hierarchy, than to grab Assets from all over the system. It pays off, when you wish to "archive" the Project. It also means that I am not working with my original Assets, but copies that I have placed in the proper folders, within my Project's structure.
    Now, you do not have to do this. You can try and force your NLE to work with whatever you try to feed it. Your results *migh* be OK, but I'll bet that you encounter problems someplace, even if it's just sluggish performance.
    There are several recommendations for freeware and inexpensive shareware converters in the FAQ's section. Be sure to read all of those, not just the ones for your version of PE. If a program is recommended in the FAQ, it's because they work. I just happen to have some others, that I own, know and that work for me.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • What codec to use to render HD project to reopen and then re-edit

    I'm new to hd video so please forgive some of my questions.
    I do mainly large projects such as weddings conventions etc. I usually render out my projects in 2 parts and I then re-edit the last half and join them and finish my project.
    My question is what codec do I render out my project parts to bring back in as one clip to join with the second half.
    Joan

    My import is HD and I split my projects into sequences as needed, my workflow habit is backup to make sure my project is protected. I realize I could do sequencing and then copy paste everything to a final sequence but corrupted adobe files over the years has made me more protective of my projects.
    I guess my question is can I render my project in part or as a complete project to HD because usually I would burn a dvd to view, and any tweaking I would like to do it on the rendered movie if possible, quicker and easier then re-rendering everything back out.
    I have a 2 hr wedding I completed on New Years Eve and I am treating it like any other wedding that i used to shoot on AVI. I made the move to HD and I'm trying to keep my same work habits. I mean the shooting and the actual editing doesn't change, its the media handling that is the bottle neck for me.
    I'm assuming most of it is my problems result from my inexperience with the HD format handling.
    To reword the question to I have save my movies as an sd movie which is a basic avi and I can export back in and re-edit in adobe if I choose to. Do I have the same options in HD
