Why Is The Tool So Lame with AVIs

Hi,
I am using CS4 on XP.
I imported an avi file from my Casio Elixim camera. I moved or dragged the avi around the time line a little, deciding where I wanted it.
1) The clip won't play through it's entirety. For some reason CS4 won't play the last several seconds of the clip. If I play the same avi in Media player, I can see the whole thing.
2) Somehow...when I did get CS4 to play the whole avi, it would repeat the audio from the first or front section of the avi in the back.
I tried clearing the cash thinking it was using the audio from the avi when it was on a different position on the time line or something. This did nothing.
It seems the tool has problems aligning the audio of an avi with the avi - as well as problems playing avi files.

@Alex Kerezy:
Now that all the really intelligent guys are done beating up on you while giving you no useful information, perhaps the following will help:
Download the LEAD MCMP\MJPEG codec found here:
http://www.leadcodecs.com/Codecs/LEAD-MCMP-MJPEG.htm
There is a demo version available that you can try before you buy. If it works for you, it is well worth the $9.95 to purchase it.
Follow the instructions to install it.
Open Premiere and create a New Sequence and new preset using Desktop as the editor and change all necessary settings to match your footage. You must do this before importing anything.
Set up your Previews using UYVY Uncompressed.
This should give you a good start on being able to import & edit your footage.
You will not be able to use AME to export in MJPEG because it does not work properly. You can either use the "Make Movie" method from After Effects, which works perfectly, or export to some other format using AME until Adobe fixes it.
BTW, MJPEG is not in fact a "highly compressed" format as many people think. It is merely a series of jpgs "flipping" by at some frame rate like 30fps. By comparison to DVCAM, HDV and other codecs like H.264, MPEG2, etc, MJPEG is far less compressed, much higher quality and much, much easier to edit.
HTH,

  • Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone?

    Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone? I wanted to see if I could upload my old information to the iCloud, by putting the new sim card into the old phone, since I didn't before I updated my new phone.

    Any metal clip will do. Insert the tip in the little hole next to the Sim Card and press FIRMLY. The SIM drawer will pop out.

  • I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

    I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4.  How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

    You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

  • Why is THD higher than SFDR in specificat​ion? Why is the SFDR Test done with a -60dB Signal?

    NI Hardware: Multifunction DAQ device USB-9211
    The following questions arise in the decision making process regarding a 24bit-  or 16bit - ADC for acceleration measurements on a gearbox
    Why is the  THD value higher than the SFDR in the specification? The harmonics are excluded for the SFDR measurement?
    Why is the SFDR Test done with a -60dB Signal?
    Whats about a 0dB or -3db sine tone? I expect the SFDR will be much lower.

    Hello Mr Hinrichs,
    Could you
    please give me more detailed information’s, about where you found this data’s about
    THD and SFDR. I had a closer look to the specifications of the USB-9211, but I
    couldn’t find any information in the user manual  USB-9211/9211A User Guide and
    Specifications Are you sure, you named the right devices in your
    post?
    I’m
    waiting for your response, so we can go further with this issue

    this is a user response forum, i'm not sure what you think we will know. Apple doesn't reply here. you would probably have to contact the main Apple HQ in Australia to have a chance to get any kind of answer.

    Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive? Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?

    Because Apple did not put one in there.
    Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?
    We can't really answer that, but it would not surprise me. More and more of the computers being produced by Apple lack an internal optical drive. If you really need one, get an external such as LowLuster suggests.
    Best of luck.

  • Why doesnt the Iphone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert

    Why doesnot the Ipone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert, after all it is suppose to be a smart phone

    The only visual aid the iPhone has for missed calls, text, email, etc. is the Notification center. After opening notification center, you chose each of the desired areas, i.e. phone calls, mail, etc. and select your notification. This can be badges, etc. If you miss a call, it will display a notice on the screen for a period of time and the screen will then go dark again. If you wake up the phone and you have missed calls or texts, they should show up on the screen, depending on your settings. The iPhone does not, and never has had a flashing light as some other phones have.
    Check the manual for setting the Notification Center. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Why is the music clip marked with a yellow warning sign?

    While browsing my project library today, I noticed that every music clip associated with a particular project is marked with a yellow "warning" triangle (with an exclamation point in the center). What's worse, the music won't play.
    I had previously uploaded this video to YouTube, where it now plays just fine. But I'm still puzzled by the warning sign, and by the fact that the music won't play when I take a look at it in my Project Library.
    I've never had a warning sign like this emerge in connection with anything else I've put together with iMovie. Why is it there, and why are the music clips inoperative? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi !
    I have a question. I had that little warning sign as well but in the clip I had just imported into the event library... I don't understand because when I went to the folder in which iMovie copies the clips I import, it was right there. Same name, same size, same runtime... and it played perfectly; and I could preview the clip in iMovie. But the thumbnail was gray with that little sign. Also, I couldn't delete the clip from my library.
    I closed iMovie, started it again... the clip is in the library, no more gray thumbnail and little yellow sign.
    How is that possible ?!

  • Why do the tools quit working in Lightroom 2?

    I have been dealing with this issue for a while - I start editing a batch of images, using the clone and dodge tool, and suddenly the "tool" turns into a magnifying glass instead of dodge or clone tool. The only way I can get it to work again is to either quit Lightroom or restart my computer. Very annoying.
    I'm using version 2.7 on a MacPro, running OSX.5.8
    Thanks,
    Lynne

    I think they all stop working. When you click on the clone tool or white balance, the tool reverts to the magnifying glass. This happens usually after I've been editing for a while, and it's really annoying, as I have to stop and quit LIghtroom, sometimes restart the computer. That will fix it, but sometimes that only works for one or two images and then it happens again. It's very buggy feeling. It doesn't happen every time I use Lightroom, but it seems to happen in waves.

  • Why does the iPad not come with Stocks, Weather and Messages apps like iPhone?

    Just received my new 64gb iPad and curious about why Apple has left some of the key apps off the device like Stocks, Weather and Messages. Can these be added?
    All the iOS 5 demos I've seen were showing the new Notifications functionality with these apps being used as examples yet when I turned this amazing device on, none of these apps were there.
    Someone clue me in to what I might be missing here.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    After I posted my question, I saw many similar questions with the same answers. Thanks for the help. Seems strange to me to not include these great apps and I totally forgot about the Clock & Calculator...
    I wonder if iOS 5 might return add them to the iPad?
    Cheers,
