It is also best to stick with standard formats such as DV AVI or H264 AVC. Macs really only work smoothly with material in the MOV container ins a small number of formats, but Perian can probably help you stretch this a bit further. You could also look at MPEGstreamclip for converting your videos to easier to work with formats.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></a></div><div><div style="border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; padding-top: 3pt; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; "><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Kate Jones<br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Friday, 17 February 2012 12:24 PM<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:vet-mm@edulists.com.au" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">vet-mm@edulists.com.au</a><br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[vet-mm] Video Encoding Software<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Hi,<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">I have been working with students on the unit of competence CUFDIG301A – Prepare Video Assets. We are using Adobe Premiere as I understand it to be an industry standard software product. We have been encountering numerous problems with the import files using Macs. Even though the files are .avi, they don’t playback in Premiere on the MAC (of course they work perfectly fine on my Windows PC). Anyway, upon further reading of the official UoC it mentions in the range statement that MovieMaker may be used.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Can anyone advise me whether I can switch to Windows Live MovieMaker if students continue to have problems?
