no video when importing .mov files

Post by ddhiacou »

Hey guys, i'm a bit of a newbie to the whole video editing scene. i need a bit of help with my videostudio 9.

ok, here is my problem:

i import an .mov file from my desktop into videostudio 9. when i press 'clip', the videois perfectly fine. but when i press 'project', all i get is a black screen. the audio still works, but there is no video. the answer is probably so obvious you guys are laughing, but thats fine... as long as someone please tells me how i can fix this.

thanks for your help

There are several different "flavors" of the *.mov format. Ulead did release a patch for VS10 addressing the *.mov format.

First where did you get the files? From a digital still camera, internet? I have a digital still camera, (Kodak Easyshare P880) that uses the *.mov format, and the MJPEG codec.

There should have been some software included with your digital still cameras. Try installing that software. Kodak's software installed the codec, that VS uses. So far I have not had any problems with VS and that MOV format.

Patch for v10

Post by vernerdrost »

I got this .mov file by converting an mp4 file to an mov file in Quicktime Pro. Ulead 10 Plus can create a mp4 file but it cannot seem to read them ones I have so I converted them in Quicktime. But that is when I ran into the problem with the mov file. Ulead reads it fine but when I go to edit it or render it the video disappears and I can only hear the sound.

You mentioned Ulead releasing a patch, where do you get these patches from Ulead?

Thanks

I tried downloading the patch but found it was already in my vio folder so that is not going to resolve the problem re mov files.

I am still waiting to hear from tec support re why I cannot play a mp4 file.

All this Codex stuf gets quite comlicated to say the least.

Thanks
