    Posted by John Perez on June 15, 2013 at 3:53 am

    I’ve got footage from my cell phone–HD footage_-which is not being read by timeline. There’s only audio. Sometimes bits and pieces of shot pops up but generally the screen is black. Any ideas why this might be happening?

    As always thanks so much to you guys…Johnny In Orlando

    Use “MediaInfo” to see what codec the video was created with.

    [Stephen Mann] “Use “MediaInfo” to see what codec the video was created with.”

    Then obtain that codec (and only that codec) from the manufacturer and install it. You may need to use a video conversion program if your cell phone uses some strange format.

    As John and Stephen advised, Install the codec ONLY,
    when you find out which it is.
