Why can't I view my video?

I am new on PP CS6 (trial version). When I try to import my video file (.mov from a Canon XF professional movie camera) it tells me "codec missing or unavailable". What codec do I need to fix this, or is there something else I can do to remedy this proble? I was thinking I might be able to convert these files to H264 files. Is this true? will it help? The files are substantial in size (17-22 gigs) each - there are four.

Why can't I view some videos on Internet sites?

Why can't I view some videos on Some Internet sites?

The iPad does not have Flash. Adobe does not make Flash for the iOS.So you either need a specific app, such as the YouTube app to view Flash video on the YouTube site, or you can get one of the very experimental Flash browsers for the iPad from the iTunes App Store.

Why can't I view my videos on icloud?

Hi. I've been having a hard time finding my pics/videos on my PC. I recently downloaded the iCloud b/c I thought I lost all my pics/videos after I did the iPhone upgrade. Now I see my pics on my files from iCloud,but no videos. Where could they be? They're not under any videos on my PC.
Thanks,
Natalie
Also, when I connect my phone to my computer, I have it set to download my pictures and videos to Kodak Easy Share, it starts to download, get's to 99%, then it shuts down...telling me that it's not connected anymore. Nothing is downloaded.

iCloud services merely "push" your Phto Stream files to enabled devices.
You can't view your photos at iCloud.com.

Why can't I view downloaded video?

I have downloaded a video but am unable to view it. I only see the play button at the bottom of the screen against a background of darkness.

the latest version 11.1.83, I think..
I decided to uninstall itunes, restarted the cpu, then reinstalled itunes by downloading from www.itunes.com.
Unfortunately, my previously downloaded movie was still in the Unwatched list.
Got a dark screen again. I also tried to play a previously downloaded movie and I got a popup from Windows saying that there was a problem with itunes and that Windows would close the program and let me know if there was a solution.
I repeated the process of uninstalling and reinstalling itunes again. Same result.
thanks...

Why can't I view videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?

Why can't I view music videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5? I was able to with my first generation Ipod Touch.
I hate viewing a small version of the video. If there aren't any fixes to the issue, there is no point in purchasing music videos. Clicking the screenlock icon doesn't work. It just allows you to view the small video in any mode instead of seeing album covers.

Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's
LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
THANK YOU!

If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing!

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

Why can I not upload any video's?

So I just bought your Adobe Photoshop and premiere elements.
I own a Panasonic Lumix camera that takes pictures and video
I can upload the cideos from this camera to windows movie maker, but when I try to upload it to premiere all I get is an audio file
Why can I not use the video with this program

save
Nothing to be confused about. We put the details together and find the solution. Specifically....
1. What version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system are they running? For now I will assume versions 12 on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit. But those are important details to start with.
2. You say that your video is from a Panasonic Lumix camera...which model and what are your camera settings?
We should be about to know what your source media are from that although a properties readout from programs such as MediaInfo or gspot would be useful.
http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
But to expedite matters, let us see what we can do from just knowing the brand/model/camera settings. Please include the file extension of this problem file?
3. Once we have the information above, then we need to make sure that the project preset that you are using for Premiere Elements matches the properties of those source media. But, all we need to know, may be in your full answer to "2".
Let us start here. We can go at whatever pace you want for getting to the core of this issue.
The Adobe Premiere Elements Forum is described as Premiere Elements users helping other Premiere Elements users with Premiere Elements workflow problems. Occasionally an ID identified as Adobe Help or Staff will pop up but not routinely or expected. If you want direct Adobe Help immediately and scheduled, then contact Adobe Chat.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any. Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding. I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad. i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above. So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone. Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening. As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook. now I can't. Hope you can help. regards and thanks Vicki

Why can't Aperture supply referenced Videos to iMovie?`

I recently figured out that I have some videos inside my Aperture library, the rest is referenced in a separate location.
Why can't Aperture make these videos available to iMovie for editing?

Because that is the way the program was written.
Seriously there is no way to answer that question. The designers of Aperture made this choice, whether it is because of some limitation in the underlying software or for other reasons no one can say.
It is as it is.
