Eniak Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Greetings. I'm making a video work which I'm recording videos from The Sims 2. I used The Sims 2 for Windows and exported the videos as uncompressed AVI. I managed to make Quicktime and After Effects to read the files flawlessly, didn't have to install any plugin, codec etc... But I can't make Final Cut or Adobe Premiere to import them... Final Cut says some sort of unrecognized error, and Premiere says there is a codec missing... But if it was a codec problem I'd have problems to open those files on Quicktime and After Effects as well no? Well... I have to deliver this work in 2 days. I gave up and m using MPEG Streamer to convert the files to DV... Made a test with one and Final Cut red it. Dunno if the quality is going to get the same but...sigh... I don't have much time. Just for curiosity, have anyone here experienced this problem before? Any possible solution? Always having to convert is a bit of a bother... It would b great if I could make any video edition program in OS X to read those AVI files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeydog Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've heard that re-saving the files in quicktime to either the same format, or changing the format type, then importing them into your video editing app. I've had this same problem before as well... The only thing about this method, is that you need quicktime pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
