Why doesn't Premiere support FLAC audio files?

.flac is an extension that is very useful to the majority of my coworkers as well as myself. It's quite a disappointment to see that Premiere Pro, even to this date, doesn't support the .flac extension. Does anybody know why this is or if support will be added soon?

adobe doesn't announce new features, so its anyone's guess if/when flac will be added. it is supported in audition, so if you plan on finishing in audition you can try to wait to add those flac files until then.

Does Premiere support .BWF audio files (Broadcast WAV)?

I'm considering the purchase of a Fostex FR-2LE portable digital audio recorder. It records in only two formats, Broadcast WAV (.BWF and MP3). Can I import these BWF files directly to the Premiere CS3 timeline for editing? I can find no mention of BWF format in the Premiere or Audition manuals, but the literature for Audition CS3 states support. My version of Audition is 1.5.
TexKeith

"Since the only difference between a BWF and a "normal" WAV is the extended information in the file header (Bext-Chunk, Coding-History, etc...), a BWF does not require a special player for playback."

FLAC (audio file) support on BB Curve 8900

Is there any music player that can support FLAC (audio file)on the BB Curve 8900?
Or can I find a codec somewhere?
Drives me nuts that the 8900 does not have native support and that the 9300 does.

Have you retried that particular app to see if it happens again? I find every once in awhile, freaky things can happen that never repeat themselves. It may be the app itself. It may have a corrupt file which in that case, I'd remove it. I haven't had an app that messed up but I have had themes which are treated like apps mess my phone off. And the ones that didn't work were ones I paid for, grrrrr! But losing them was better than putting up with the repercussions. Just my take. If it is a particularly expensive app, you might want to contact who you purchased it from to obtain a refund.

Why doesn't Aperture 3 recognise RAW files from my Fuji F550EXR?

I have just bought a Fujifilm F550EXR, partly because of it's RAW capabilities. I am an existing Aperture 3 user (Canon 5D Mk II) and have found it very good at working with the RAW files from that SLR. After shooting some test shots with the F550EXR, I now find that Aperture 3 doesn't recognise them. Surely Fuji's RAW file format has been around long enough for Apple to incorporate it into it's RAW converter. Why doesn't Apple support Fuji RAW files?

Hi all,
the problem still exists..
Aperture still does not support this RAF (I recently bought a Fujifilm F550EXR)
Others do..
I've just tested Adobe Lightroom, works great
with both, Fuji-RAF and NEF format (of my Nikon D80)
even free picture software does support this Fuji-RAW format
- e.g. "rawker", http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html
so its hard for me to understand, that the missing cooperation between Fujifilm and Apple is the problem.
I think, Apple regards it as too much effort to implement this format for (in relation) so few cameras..
Aperture 2 had no backup function for some month, and Apple did not care ..
(too much effort, too?)

Could be systems logs or some other system file growing.

Why Doesn't Premiere Elements 12 Recognize My Sony AVCHD Camera?

This is my first attempt at using Premiere Elements 12. Unfortunately, it is not recognizing my Sony HDR AVCHD format camera. It uses a san disk. I get a message "No supported devices detected". It does find the jpg photos, though.
So I directly loaded the MTS files onto my iMac and created a DVD. It looked pretty good, but not as good as playing the camera directly on a TV. I found something on another Adobe site that indicated if there were problems with Premiere reading from the card that the files could be loaded to the hard drive. It said "Be sure to copy the entire file structure of the card instead if just the clips". I'm not sure what that means. All I did was download the MTS files.
So I really have 2 questions here -
1 - why doesn't Premiere recognize my camera
2- Is there something on the san card I missed downloading that could improve the quality of the DVD being created?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply and your additional comments and results.
I think that we need to make distinctions between Quality (how good or bad the results looks or sounds to you) and Resolution (Frame Size, Display Size). Often the two can go side by side.
What you are seeing at the camera level is 1080i which is interlaced video at 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second. What you are seeing when you play back your finished DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is based on 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (if standard 4:3) and 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second accompanied by a 16:9 flag to stretch the 720 x 480 to 856 x 480 for display after encoding. Another factor is what the TV or computer player is doing to your interlaced video for viewing purposes - deinterlacing or not and with what method. Some TV's come with technology to enhance the DVD-VIDEO display. Most TVs larger than 32 to 42 in tend to show the differences between higher and lower resolution more readily.
Since you have interlaced video source, each frame has two fields, with either Upper or Lower Field First. Your source probably is interlaced video with Upper Field First. Consequently, in the project, you may have to adjust that to Lower Field First if your destination is DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc which is characterized by Field Order Lower Field First. Something to look into for the "better" aspects considerations.
Now if you decide to take your Timeline content to AVCHD format on DVD disc, note that the format of AVCHD format on DVD disc is different from that of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (Instead of OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS Folder, you have the BDMV Folder). Your AVCHD on DVD disc will have resolution (Frame Size, Display Size) of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Under these circumstances, the capacity of the DVD disc can become a problem with larger projects. When you burn your Timeline content to AVCHD format on DVD disc, what is on the disc will be an 29.97 interlaced frames per second characterized by Upper Field First. So, if your interlaced source and the destination product both use Field Order Upper Field First, then no need for Field Options adjusts. However you do have one opportunity for a progressive frame rate for the AVCHD on DVD. It is not 29.97, rather 24. See Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby in the AVCHD on DVD set up in Publish+Share/Disc AVCHD disc.
I have generated some very great looking DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (standard and widescreen) and have been very pleased with the results and how my viewers received them. The thought is getting the best possible DVD-VIDEO on DVD and enjoying it without laboring on how it might have looked as Blu-ray or AVCHD if you do not have Blu-ray and do not have a player for AVCHD on DVD disc.
If you need clarification on any of the above, please let me know.
Thanks.

Add On...In post 3 marked in reply to me you wrote
"On a side note, however, I'm not sure I agree with the statement that going to standard def would lose a lot of video quality"
I did not write that in any of my posts to you. That is why I have gone through the detailed account to qualify that statement from wherever it came.

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?
This is nuts!

You are not alone.
Actions speak louder than words, but Apple does manage to still distract many from what is self evident before them.
I am astonished by those who swear that non-existent features, or features that pre-exist the current version make Pages 5.2 a major upgrade.
An affect that does seem to wear off with familiarity, as each version of Pages 5 gets a boost in the App Store, only to see the disapproval rating surge back again.
Pages was always one of the top purchases in the App Store, now it doesn't even rate.

Final Cut Express 4 - why doesn't it support HD?

I purchased a Canon G12 camera that shots HD video, and I purchased Final Cut Express 4. Unfortunately, after I ran into cropping problems while editing my first movie, I found out Final Cut Express 4 doesn't support the HD format. Discouraging. Why doesn't FCE4 support HD?

FCE certainly does support high def (HD) video.
The problem is that your Canon G12 shoots video as H.264 .mov files, which cannot be edited directly in FCE.
You need to convert the G12 videos to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit them in FCE. Download a copy of MPEG Streamclip (free) to do the conversion. Alternatively you could also use Clipwrap2 to convert your G12 videos.

Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash Player?

Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash Player?
I recently traveled out of the country with a large group and we are sharing our photos on Snapfish and I need Adobe Flash Player to download them to my IPAD. Help!

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?

Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?
Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, and Google Drive all have viewer apps that let you see and manage what’s in the drive. The only way you can do that with iCloud Drive is through a web browser. Very frustrating and backward.

I found a possible band-aid for our problem:
1) On iOS 8 Device, go to Safari / iCloud.com
2) Once you get to iCloud.com, you'll notice it won't give you the option to log in.
3) Tap on the URL bar (this should bring up your bookmarks bar and Frequently Visited Sites)
4) Tap, Hold, and Slide your finger down on that section (this will reveal two options: (1) Add to Favorites, and (2) Request Desktop Site
5) Tap Request Desktop Site
Log in as usual, and you can now access iCloud Drive with your PDFs and other documents like any other computer.
I too am disappointed as I was looking forward to view PDF's shared between my Macbook and my iPad, but I think this should work until Apple comes out with a solution.

Look to the right under More Like This and you will see that you are beating a dead horse. Instead of doing a search for your issue you will be one of the obligatory 5 or 6 folks who ask this same inane question here every bloody day.
So there is you answer, just read a few of the links to the scores of other threads here on this very topic and you will have all of the answers. The primary one being that there is no Flash from Adobe for iOS devices. Never has been, and since Adobe gave up trying to make Flash that worked, likely never will be.

Why doesn't Photoshop support read/write of .mpo files?

I am actually blown away that I cannot find a single Photoshop plugin that reads and/or saves .mpo files. Does somebody know why? And why isn't anyone talking about this format? I find it hard to believe that no one in the entire Photoshop Windows forum has ever wondered about Photoshop's complete lack of or interest in support for .mpo files.
If nobody knows how to read/write .mpo files directly through Photoshop, perhaps someone could point me to some documentation for writing a plugin for it. It's a really really simple file format--there's no reason that a plugin shouldn't be available already.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Well wave of the future or not. its beening pushed hard. That is in a way good for us the consumers.. choice is always good.
3d tv's and monitors require at least 120hz in order to function. what does that mean for people who spend all their time in front of a monitor?
Bringing about the availablilty of 120hz and beyond flat panels.
Many are people are prone to getting migrains due to refresh rates 60 hz or less, Most people getting migrains from sitting at work in front of a 60 hz monitor all day long, and do not even realize it.
I happen to be one of those people who get migrains, especially if I am doing artwork for 8 - 10 hours.
I just picked up a 120 hz monitor like 2 weeks ago cause I am a techno junky and love my toys, it is the asus one that comes with the Nvidia glasses.
There is nothing wrong with my other monitor, a 24 inch HP monitor. Its a 1920 x 1200 5ms responce time 60hz monitor.
I didn't think i would really even notice the difference between a 120 hz and 60 hz monitor.
Boy ohh boy was I ever mistaken about not Noticing. sitting side by side, to me the picture difference is amaizing. Now i have not had an oppertunity to do a real weekend artwork fest but that will come with time.
The 3d features with the glasses on, I think are very cool in games its extreemly noticable since you have more control over what it is you are looking at. I am not sure i would play a game end to end for hours and hours in 3d. i think that would likely make my head explode but we'll see about that too and if not my be running into walls when i am done since you tend to loose perseption. not to mention 3d glassses make it so you see each picture at 60 hz in one eye 60 hz in the other putting you back to a 60 hz refresh and migrains.
anyway way off subject, but to sum it up.
Some good things can come from flavor of the day fads. Grant it some bad some times does too.. i mean look at bell bottoms....

Why doesn't Quicktime Support MPEG-2 with AC3 sound?

Last summer I bought a Mac Mini so I could use iMovie and iDVD to convert and edit my 20 year old VHS tapes of family events to DVDs. This Christmas I got a Samsung DVD Recorer-VCR unit that easily copies VHS to DVD in MPEG-2 format with AC3 sound.
So, I'm all set to use my Mac Mini and begin my family archives project - or so I thouhgt. I found that Quicktime and iMovie don't read MPEG-2!! Then I was relieved to find that there is a plug-in that works with Quicktime Pro that will read MPEG-2. I spent the $50 to download these 2 programs and sure enough Quikcktime Pro will now read the MPEG-2 files from my Samsung unit. However, there is no sound!!!
Is Apple purposely making it impossible to do what I'm trying to do?
Why doesn't Quicktime or iMovie support MPEG-2 with AC3 sound?
Is there some other sound format that is normally used with MPEG-2?
Why would someone create software that reads movie files but doesn'rt read the sound that goes with them?
If I can't hear my little girl sing on these movies, then this whole project is a big waste of time and money!!
I hope someone from Apple can give me some answers.
A frustrated father,
R. Leifield

FWIW, MPEG is a distribution format, not an editing format. The best way would be to convert VHS to DV, edit it in iMovie and burn THAT to DVDs.
Sure, MPEG is a nice compressed format taking much less space than DV but the compression takes away quality.
IMO the best approach with MPEG source would be to edit (yes, it CAN be edited) it with apps like MPEG Streamclip (very limited editing features) or Capty MPEG Edit EX (more features) and author the edited MPEGs via apps like Toast, DVDSP, Capty MPEG Edit, Sizzle etc. THEN you won't lose any quality (unless some of the GOPs have to be re-encoded, that is).
BTW, unlike QT Player, MPEG Streamclip can play also AC3 or PCM audio in MPEG files.
