Vado HD - Adobe Premiere CS4? I tried recently to import an AVI file from my Vado HD camcorder to Adobe Premiere CS4. It did not work. I simply get no picture. Am I missing something or does CS4 simply not work currently with the Vado HD format? This does concern me if this is the case because I do prefer CS4 to edit my videos. Has anyone had any luck with CS4 and the Vado HD cameras?Thanks in advance! Vado HD - Adobe Premiere CS4? I tried recently to import an AVI file from my Vado HD camcorder to Adobe Premiere CS4.

Hi Mike and Oscar, I'm having the same problem in trying to get my .avi file captured from a Flip Video Camera; Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 only has a black screen with sound. I had to send the .avi file to a friend with a Mac, who had a program to convert it to an .mpeg file; then it works. I'm searching for a solution that I can solve on my own with my PC.

Looks like it uses h.264 which is a quicktime format. Do you have quicktime installed? I'm a mac user and never use AVI's so I hope I'm correct in this assumption.

Quick question for all of you who know a little bit more. This is mostly aimed at the guy who used WMM. " Did you lose any quality converting it? " Obviously we all bought this camera b/c it has decent quality but if you lose it what the point. Thanks for the help, Cheers!

Mike,Hello. The only decent editing software I found to work ok with the raw Vado HD files was Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate. When I tried Premiere Pro CS4 I experienced the same thing as you. I would get audio, but no video. It seems you might have to convert your footage first.Oscar V.

The VADO HD files *WILL* work with Adobe Premiere CS4 (and probably other programs). You just need the right codecs. I had the same problem as others (audio imports but video is black) in both Premiere and other programs like Sony Vegas. To fix the issue I had to install the "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack". Choose the mega option and make sure you are installing the H.264 codec (check the box when you do custom install). After I did that I can view the files in any program including editing them in Adobe Premiere CS4. If that doesn't work there is a program called 'SUPER' (google 'super video') and that will allow you to convert the AVIs into just about any other format you need. Hope that helps.

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

This is a joke. It's the same exact camera for more money. The 4 gig is more expensive than the old 8 gig, lol. I had a reg. vado and am thinking of getting the old 8 gig. The original Vado was terrible in low light situations. Tried to capture video of a tv when the room was only moderately lit and all you could see was light intense light from the tv. How is the HD vado in low light situations? Anyone?

Mine did not come with Sony Vegas. I use Adobe Premiere CC. When you drag the AX100's native UHD file into a sequence, a dialogue box pops up and asks if you want to change the timeline to the clip's format. It edits fine in the resulting timeline, or I often use it in a Black Magic Design Intensity Pro 1080i 59.94i timeline at scaled.

I order for one of my friend..he toldthat this device will not support MP4 file We should not rename the file from MP4 to AVI. We should convert the file from MP4 to AVI..Many converters are available online.

I use Windows Movie Maker exclusively with my camera, and have had NO issues whatsoever with importing the files, or editing of the files using this software. It may not show up in the folder as a "media" file, but if you check all files, then you are able to import the raw video and edit away. Took me maybe 15 minutes to edit my first video with this camera and software.

First, do you mean Micro SD card? If so, only certain formats (handles) of .avi, mp4 etc are compatible. I experienced same problem. Also, if you used standard SD CARD in reader connected with optional micro-usb to usb adapter, does not even see the files. This adapter is listed in manual, on the box & in their website. They did away this feature with PK320, works with previous models, but never bothered to change manual, box & website.Tech support completely useless. I have returned mine unit, just too many other problems, recommend you do same. Just do a google search on reviews of this unit, you'll agree. First, do you mean Micro SD card?

No, it doesn't. The Vado uses h.264 for video encoding, and AAC for audio encoding, both of which are supported by OS X, QuickTime, and iMovie.

The problem is that your video is MP4. So far as I can tell, Videostudio just doesn't support that. You can convert your footage pretty easily though. Try the Freemake video converter. It's freeware and it just works.

Try the free program HDVsplit for importing HD video from your camcoder then you can convert it to wmv high definition by using windows media encoder. However before you use windows media converter you would need to install high definitions codecs using another free program called ffdshow.

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

Media Express cannot do MP4 like you said and the Intensity seems to be limited when it comes to things not directly stated in the manual/on the box. It is possible to have software that would read the Intensity and save the output as MP4 but I have not found any already made. You could convert the AVI it gives you into an MP4 with little effort using your favorite media editing software. Also as a side note, This works on any computer, if you don't have the Renasas chipset you simply need to download the correct driver, which is unstable on Windows 8 and requires reinstallation often.
