MP4 loading problem.

[Designerpig]

Hey, I'd really need your help! Long story short, i got a lot of fine 1280x720 MP4 loops, but resolume loads only like the quarter of them, for an unknown reason. One more thing, about 15 hours from now, i'm having a gig, so please help me in anyway!

hi,
convert your clips in Quicktime and DXV codec!

[Designerpig]

That was my first thi8ng to do, i did it with MPEG stream, but the picture got lost, and there was only audio left.

Ok, it look slike i've succesfully converted all of them into .mov - DXV but i did it in Premier Pro. There must be something i'm doing wrong with MPEG Stream, any ideas?

yeah MPEG Streamclip often has problems with certain files. Even i have faced problems with mp4 files. Either the complete rendered video is all white or it cut in half and all weird things. I took out a small segment of the input clip and sent it to them, to which they replied they shall try to rectify problems in future releases and all..

MP4 is a pretty rough format for batch encoders. MPEG streamclip and apple's compressor both have issues with it. Adobe media encoder and Sorensen squeeze does a good job of handling it i've found. Using MP4's is probably the number one reason resolume will repeatedly crash on new users. I've seen many a lighting or sound guy forced to use resolume on someone's gaming computer and then complain about resolume's stability. I'm pretty confident beside Arkao's easy dmx map it's ability to play any format is why lighting ops use it.

This works for me when dealing with stubborn MP4 files: iSquint, convert the file to MP4 with "Optimize for TV" checked with the stock settings then it will convert fine with MPEG Streamclip.

Not recommended, but in a pinch you can simply add .mov extension to you clip and it should load in resolume.
