M2TS files WON'T recognized in Sony Vegas Pro Solved!

Although Sony Vegas Claims it can work with M2TS format, some users still have troubles when importing M2TS files to Sony Vegas (including Vegas Pro 13). And the following problems often complain in the forum:
  • Choppy frames at the end of the MTS footage;
  • Sony Vegas is not able to import the MTS video clip;
  • Sony Vegas crashes after the file is imported;
  • It takes much time to render the MTS videos for Sony Vegas editing.

Help: Working AVI Files in After Effects

Q1: Im trying to import a .avi video in After Effects... but always I have this error:

"After Effects error: file ‘DVD Los hombres de Pep-Los amos del juego.avi’ cannot be imported — this ‘MooV’ file is damaged or unsupported."'


Q2: Id been using AE for a few month now, and suddenly whenever i import an AVI file it doesnt preview in AE, I can see the soundtrack but not the image.

For some reason when you import AVI's into after effects they don't show up as a video. When you click on the previewing screen it says "Video not available, cannot find 'vids:CFHD' Decompressor". 

In After Effects Help page, there is a Note says: In order for After Effects to import a QuickTime or AVI file, the codec that a particular file uses must be installed on the computer. (Common codecs are installed by both QuickTime and Video For Windows.) If you receive an error message or the video does not display correctly, you may need to install the codec used by the file. see Obtain support for additional formats and codecs for more information.

As far as we know, AVI is a 'container' which can incorporate most any sort of video and audio format. That is to say, AVI videos can be encoded by different codecs like DivX/Xvid, which makes After Effects refuse them. 

Then how can we make all AVI files compatible with After Effects? The best workaround is to convert AVI to MPEG/MOV(AVC) - the best two video formats for After Effects.

After countless tests, I highly recommend Pavtube Video Converter for Mac to all of you which can help you to encode any AVI files to Adobe After Effects supported MPEG/MOV(AVC) format (actually it is native supported by all Adobe products) at super fast speed effectively. What's more, besides Adobe After Effects, it also supplies powerful profiles to other NLEs, like FCP 7/X, FCE, Avid MC .etc

In addition, this program can support various common videos besides AVI, such as MOV/MP4,MKV,MTS,MXF,WMV .etc. The equivalent Windows version Video Converter is designed for PC users if they also want to edit AVI videos on PC, such as Premiere. Just download the right version and follow the step-by-step guide below to change AVI videos to After Effects smoothly.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it:

How to Streaming H.265 to Samsung via Plex without Video Buffering Issue?

HEVC x265 buffering when playing on Samsung TV via Plex 

I currently have a Plex Media Server on a local network. The network is cabled and using gigabit connections. I am currently having issues when playing HEVC/x254 videos whereby after every few minutes (normally every 3-5), the video stops and the buffering dots appears for a few seconds. This issue only occurs on my Samsung UE55HU7500 and UE55HU6900. If I use a PC, iPhone or iPad either locally or remotely it plays fine. It does not matter how I try and play the videos; both direct play and transcoding have the same results.

How to fix H.265 video buffering on Plex?

After searching on the Internet, we find this article: How to Fix Constant Video Buffering Issue on Plex. And we get the information that the vast majority of buffering issues when streaming content in a Plex app are caused due to the following two main reasons: 
1. The network connection can't support the requested stream.
2. The content can't be transcoded fast enough for the stream.

Since the user who posted the problem said that “The network is cabled and using gigabit connections”, we can see that there is nothing issue with the former reasons. As for the second reasons, it is well know that the transcoding process of H.265 is very computer processor intensive, if your computer is very old, it may be not powerful enough to perform the transcoding that you need. Besides that, the problem may also caused by device limitation. For example, the Plex app for your Samsung TV can experience memory-related constraints. If you try to play content at too high a bitrate, the app can run out of memory available to it, which can result either in crashing or in poor playback, which may manifest as buffering. When in device limitation cases, lowering the video streaming quality in Plex app to the recommended values may help.

Transcode H.265 for streaming to Samsung TV via Plex

If above listed ways does not address your issue, another effective way is transcoding the high bit rate H.265 to Plex supported H.264 codec with lower bit rate but high quality. Here, you can utilize our top ranked H.265 Video Converter,Pavtube Video Converter for Windows/Mac (support Mac OS X El Capitan), which can effortlessly decode H.265 to Plex app for Samsung TV compatible H.264 codec, so that you can play video on Samsung TV via Plex without video buffering issue. In addition, you can also compress 4K video to 1080p for smooth video streaming effect.

Besides H.265, the program also assist you to convert other incompatible file formats such as AVI, ISO, BDMV,Video_TS, etc for playing on Samsung TV (Plex app supported Smart TV models)through Plex app.

DJI & NLEs: Edit DJI Phantom 4 4k videos in Premiere Pro CC

DJI Phantom is an amazing invention, it can take people’s sight to anywhere in the sky. Most people want to edit DJI Phantom 4 4K videos in Premiere Pro CC or other video editing applications after flying it. However, they always find Premiere Pro CC doesn’t work fine with DJI Phantom 4K videos.

I'm on a nice, shiney new iMac - i7, fastest, baddest, 5k res monitor, etc. Quick hard drives, even tried the internal and a SSD, but DJI Phantom 4 4k video is very slow in Premiere Pro CC. Runs doggy though I can view it in 'Preview' or the finder with no issues - even two or more streams of 4k plays fine, just not in Premiere Pro. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried both .mp4 and .mov file types, the same outcome. In Premiere Pro, it tends to play about 5 seconds of video just fine, then starts breaking. Also, is there a benefit of one file type over another (.mp4 or .mov)?

The DJI Phantom 4 professional captured 4K video in MP4 or MOV(up to 4096×2160 24 / 25p, 60 Mbps, with MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 codec) format, which is not a native editing codec for Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro CC can handle 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. In addition, the DJI Phantom 4 4K video footage compressed with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 will still have big file size, it will take a lot of time for Premiere to render those 4K videos.

To solve those problems, the quick workaround is to convert DJI Phantom 4 4K MP4/MOV to Premiere Pro CC natively supported formats MPEG-2 in 2K resolution. Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review) is now providing the most reliable and professional 4K solutions to all format issues including 4K XAVC/XAVC S4K MP44K MTS4K MXFand more.

Except for transcoding DJI Phantom 4K videos to MPEG-2 format for Premiere Pro CC, this 4K Video Converter also able to convert 4K MOV/MP4 files from DJI Phantom 4 to the most compatible format (Apple InterMediate, Apple ProRes, DNxHD Codec) for FCP/iMovie/Avid MC.

More important, with this professional 4K Video Converter, you can compress the resolution of DJI Phantom 4 4K footage from 4096*2160P to 1920*1080P so that you the video clips easier for Premiere CC to render.
