What file format can import?

imovie version is 7.1. I downloaded some clips from my cell phone onto hard drive and they show up as quick time files, play without difficulty on quicktime player. However, imovie won't import them, says they are not compatible. ?What file formats are compatible? ?Why would apple put quicktime and imovie on my hard drive, but not have them able to use same file type?
If it is important to know, I imported the files from my cell phone's card; I don't have a cable to attach my phone to USB so I don't have a way to directly try to download from the phone to computer. ?would I be able to import the files from my card to imovie?
any other solutions?
all help much appreciated

The MPEG4 video codec should probably work. However, the audio codec looks like a proprietary codec that is unlikely to work. But it is good news that it will play in QuickTime Player. If QuickTime can read it, you should be able to convert it to a format that iMovie can handle.
You could do this with QuickTime Pro ($30 from Apple). But there is a free program called MPEG Streamclip (from Squared 5) that will do this. Drag you clip into MPEG Streamclip and then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose h.264 or mp4 as your video codec. Choose uncompressed, or AAC, or AIFF, or MP3 as your video codec. AIFF is most likely to work. Keep the dimensions of the clip at "current".
Be aware that your file is about a quarter of the resolution of a standard definition TV set, so don't expect it to look great. But if you plan to look at it online rather than on a TV or DVD, it should be fine.

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

What file format can Media Services supports?

Does Azure Media Services support file format such as rmvb or 3gp ,and so on.I want to know what file format I can play with Azure Media Services exactly,Thanks.

The encoding for Windows Azure Media Services is currently based on Expression Encoder. Expression Encoder's supported list is at

What file formats can itunes play?

After looking at hundreds of posts, I got fed up and decided to ask these questions. What file formats does itunes play and how can you change/adjust them? I thought there was a place to do this when I installed itunes, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, but my question is still unanswered, I want to know how to associate different file types with iTunes, maybe I am not asking the question correctly, or don't know the terminology. I know that my real player can be made to associate different file types from the tools menu, I check off the boxes with the different extensions, like, .mp3, wav, midi, .ogg, etc... I thought there was a feature like this on iTunes, but I can't find it, is it only available when I install it?

What file formats can Fireworks Import and Export?

the basics

welcome moremusicplease to the -board...
you should let repair your sticking shift-key soon, because in the iNet all-caps means SHOUTING...
iM's internal file format is "dv", preferable in a mov container or as dv-stream.. 1h video in dv = 13GB .. happy downloading...-
any other codecs are mostly playback-only codecs => loss of pic quality + needs conversion...
a good compromise in loss-due-to-conversion and file-size is a h264 encoding...
your 2nd question......
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

What file formats can I output to?

I want to create short vidoes that can be inserted into slide shows. MS Power Point would not accept files in pref. format. How can I convert output from Premiere to a standard format?
KC

Thank you for the step-by-step outline.
I am not familiar with the iPod Touch's video (wife has one, but do not think that she's ever used the camera feature?), but if you download and install the great, free file info utility, MediaInfo: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en (for PC), and run one of the files through it, you should get all of the details on the file. That would be useful in determining if you have the correct Project set up for that footage.
Now, processing WMV (either when trying to edit it, or Export/Share it) files will take some time, however that 1hr 20min. for an 8 min. Timeline, sounds extreme. That is why I wonder if there is a mis-match between the Source Files and the Project. If you started with an NTSC DV Standard 4:3 Project, I would NOT use any of the WMV HD (High Def) Presets, as that would instruct PrE to up-scale everything to HD, and THAT could take a very long time, plus yield less than desireable results.
Also, is that 1hr 20min. time what it actually took, or is that the projected time? Sometimes, the exporting module gets the estimated time very wrong, depending on the material being edited and the format/CODEC used to Encode.
Good luck, and let us know just a bit more, please.

What file formats can the AEBSn read?

I have two Windows PCs which will be connected via Ethernet to the AEBSn and a 2.16GHz MacBook(N-Enabled). I am planning on backing them up to an 500GB AirDisk, but I know that the AEBSn is not compatible with NTFS. Does anyone know if Windows can read HFS+ or if there is some other solution?
Thanks,
Sammy

Sam,
You are mixing up disk file systems with network file systems.
Format the Airdisk as HFS. (disk file system)
The PCs will access it as a network device using SMB.
They won't know anything about the alien disk format - they only see the network file system which they recognize.

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

Not sure what video files I can import

Ok, I thought importing video files into iMovie would be simple, but I can't do it, at least the formats I've been trying to import. What video format can iMovie import? I was trying to import .avi files but I see a loading screen then they never show up. How can I use or convert .avi files so I can edit them in iMovie?

http://perian.org can help with most AVI files.
QuickTime Pro ($30) can export to DV Stream for use in any version of iMovie.

What file format is needed to import images files from Lightroom or CC directory?

I have tried accessing psd, tiff and jpeg files to import them into Adobe Shape. All have received an error message saying that the file format isn't supported. What file format should I be using for my images in order to import them?
Thank you!

If your not going to do any individual layer effects or animation then TIFF's would be generally easier and faster to work with. If you are gong to do some effects and layer animation you should do that in Motion then bring the Motion project into FCP.
My Opinion, My Two Cents, That's might be what its worth.
