You have some great footage shot and are keen on editing all the best ones to create an awesome video! When you import the first clip into the software, it shows an error. There is some problem with the codec of the video or the video format itself. You are not quite sure what caused this error.
There could be a host of errors that you might encounter in the process of editing your video files.
Let us take a look at them and solutions for each.
- Frame Rate Errors
Most video editing applications have a default frame rate that they operate from. You can, of course, set it to your requirement when you embark on a new project. In case the video clips you import have a frame rate different from what the software has set, you will see an error and you cannot import your clip.
Here’s the error: “Unable to import into the current project: Check frame-rate and audio sample-rate”
If you are in the middle of editing your work, there is no way you can start from scratch creating a new project with the right frame rate. It is too late for that.
You can still change the frame rate of the video clip by using an online video converter. While you are there, it is a good idea to change the format too.
Just install a video converter. Under Settings window, you can change the frame rate of the video to the frame rate of the software. Just enter the value in the frame rate field and click convert button to end up with a file having the right frame rate. Now import this file into your editing software.
- Unsupported Video File
There are tons of video formats out there. Your recording device might have recorded the video in a particular format. Not all video formats are supported by your edit tool. It is therefore suggested to convert it to a commonly used format such as MP4, AVI or MOV to make the importing process simpler.
- Large Video File
Most editing programs shouldn’t have problems editing large video files. However, if you did come across an error “The video file size is too big”, you can rectify it by reducing the file size.
Make sure the overall quality of the video does not go down while reducing the file size.
Changing the dimensions of a file can also bring down its size. Let’s say you have a file of resolution 1920 x 1080. If you change it to 1280 x 720, there should be some reduction in file size, enough to solve the import issue.
- Change your file format
As discussed earlier, you can convert your video file to a MP4 file, which is easily accessible by most editing tools. It also brings down the file size.
