MOV File Import Failure Codec Missing or Unavailable Error…

You can import MOV files to Adobe Premiere, but you cannot load all MOV file formats using this video editing tool. Since Adobe Premiere imports MOV files based on the codecs or decoders installed in it.

Step 2: Next, click on the Install button. Opt Continue when a notification appears asking for permission to install the codec.

That’s all! your codec is installed and it appears in Adobe Premiere.

Note: Adobe doesn’t recommend to install additional codecs the (exclusion of the Vista codec pack) to Premiere Pro because it may cause issues with the Adobe program. Instead, Adobe support suggests users install G-Spot– a free tool to detect all installed codecs on a computer.

Method 2: Convert MOV File

Convert your MOV files to Adobe Premiere compatible file format using free media player VLC.

Suggested: Try this on a copy of your MOV file.

Step 1: Open VLC, go to Media and select the Convert/Save option.

Step 2: Click Add…, select your MOV file, and hit the Convert/Save button.

Step 3: Click on the tools symbol (Edit Selected Profile) located next to the Profile list.

Step 6: Click on the Browse button, mention destination location and name for the converted video, and choose Save.

Step 7: Finally, click on the Start button to begin the video conversion process.

Now, import the converted video into Adobe Premiere.

How to Solve the Error ‘Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable’

smart-object-not-directly-editable-error

Introduction to layers and Smart Objects

A layer in Photoshop, as the name suggests is a file that you can stack one on top of the other. A new image has only one layer. But when you add more layers on top of this original image, you can add more data or just use them for color or tone adjustments. Thus, by using layers you can alter an image to your liking, without editing the original pixels.

Smart objects on the other hand are a special type of layer that contains image data. They are designed to contain all original characteristics of the layer and also give you the freedom to perform a thorough non-destructive editing of the layer.

Solution to fix the error ‘Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable’

But editing a Smart Object is not very straightforward and some users have complained about the following error when trying to edit a Smart Object.

‘Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable’.

Solution 1: Convert Smart Object to a normal layer

The error ‘Smart Object is not directly editable’ occurs mainly because a smart object contains data in a non-destructive container file. And because of this, you are not allowed to edit this smart object file directly.

A workaround to this problem is to convert the Smart Object to a normal layer. To do that, first select the Smart Object you want to edit from the Layers panel and follow one of these methods.

  1. In the Layers panel, double click on the Smart Objects icon
  2. The second option is to convert the Smart Object to a raster layer. To do so, go to Layer > Simplify Layer
  3. Go to Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents
  4. Go to Properties and select Edit Contents

By following one of the above methods, you can convert the Smart Object to a normal layer, which you should be able to edit easily.

Solution 2: Unlock the image layer

In most cases, converting the Smart Object to a normal layer (as explained in Solution 1) should resolve the error ‘Smart Object is not directly editable’. However, if that doesn’t help, it could be because the image is locked.

To unlock the image, please follow the instructions below.

  1. Open the Smart Object you want to edit
  2. Go to Layers and click on the Lock icon

unlock-image

Once the image is unlocked, you should be able to edit the contents without any errors.

Conclusion

Adding layers will help you alter the image without modifying original pixels. This helps avoid damage to the original image in most cases. However, there are some instances that cause your PSD file to get damaged or corrupt such as Photoshop hanging when working on an image or Photoshop malfunction, etc.

In such cases, Remo Repair will repair corrupt PSD files on your Mac or Windows. It repairs your image using a read-only mechanism, so all layers of the image file are recovered without any changes. If you have a corrupt PSD image that needs to be repaired, check out Remo Repair PSD and give it a try.

Fix Error ‘Setup cannot continue because Outlook isn’t configured to have a default profile’?

Many users encounter problems while configuring iCloud in Outlook on their new systems. They seem to have problems when they check for emails, contacts or calendars and receive an error message that reads as follows

‘Setup cannot continue because Outlook isn’t configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again.’

  2. Then type Mail in the Control Panel search and double click on it
  3. Select Show Profiles
  4. Under the section ‘When starting Microsoft Outlook, use this profile’, select the ‘Always Use this Profile’ option

As the next workaround, you can try reinstalling both Outlook and iCloud applications. Reinstalling these applications is known to resolve the error in many cases.

Solution 3: Use an older version of iCloud

There are complaints about synchronization problems with newer versions of iCloud. To eliminate this as a reason for the error, try installing an earlier version of iCloud such as 5.2.1. This is also known to help resolve the Outlook set up error.

Solution 4: Use PowerShell commands to remove the Store version of Office

Having a Store version of Office is known to cause the error ‘Setup cannot continue because Outlook isn’t configured to have a default profile’ error. To resolve this, you will need to download the Click-To-Run installation available on Office.com.

  • Type PowerShell in the taskbar search
  • Click Run as Administrator and enter the admin password
  • Then enter the following command and hit Enter

  • Next, enter the following command and hit Enter

power-shell-command-3

  • Next, run iCloud in compatibility mode using the instructions below.
  • Go to ‘iCloud.exe’ and right click on it to select Properties
  • Go to Compatibility tab and check the box ‘Run This program in compatibility mode’ and try syncing Outlook and iCloud

We hope one of these solutions explained in this blog helps you fix the Outlook setup error. These issues are of course errors that occur rarely and are only specific to iCloud syncing with Outlook. But there are also more common errors such as trouble sending emails or Outlook not opening. These errors are often a result of corruption in Outlook data file called PST.

How to Identify and Install Missing Codecs in Windows?

how-to-idenitfy-and-install-missing-codecs

A codec, short for codedecode is used in most audio and video files. The encoder part of the codec is a program that shrinks a video or audio for storage or transmission purposes. The decoder in it decodes the video when you have to view the file or edit it.

You cannot imagine downloading video and audio files if not for codecs because in that case, the files would have taken about 5-10 times longer than they do now.

How many types of codecs are available?

Codecs, in general, are extremely complicated. One single file type (also referred to as a container) can use many different types of codecs within it. So, just because your media player supports a particular file type, it does not mean all the codecs that the file type can contain is supported.

For example, AVI is a type of file extension that you see often. But you should know it is only a container that can contain a variety of different codecs. So, when you see a media player supporting AVI files, but doesn’t play the AVI file you are trying to play, it indicates that the codec used in the AVI file is not supported.

In fact, there are several hundred types of codecs available for audio and video files. You may not need all of them, but you sure need the most common ones such as MP3, WMA, DivX, XviD etc.

Which codec do I need?

If you don’t have necessary codecs installed, you may receive the following errors upon playing the video file on Windows PC.

  • The media file you are trying to play is not supported
  • Invalid file format
  • The player cannot play your file because the required codec is not installed on your computer

In order to solve this error, you will need to find out which codec you need. For that, you will have to find the codec that the video file you are trying to play is using. Below are instructions to find the codec on Windows PC’s.

  1. Right click on the file you are trying to play and select Properties
  2. Select the Summary tab

The file description section should tell you the audio and video codecs your file is using. Once you have found that, go ahead and search for those codecs online. Download them and in no time, you should be able to play your file.

Common types of codec packs

K-Lite codec pack: It is a powerful codec pack that allows playback of many types of video files such as AVI, MKV, FLV, MPEG, DVD, Blu-ray, and many more formats. K-Lite comes in 4 different versions such as Basic, Standard, Full, and Mega. Although, Standard is the most commonly used pack, Basic works just fine if all you need is to play certain formats.

Full and Mega are designed for power users with a lot of great features including the Media Player Classic.

CCCP codec pack: CCCP stands for Combined Community Codec Pack and is capable of playing a wide variety of media formats and files. It was mainly designed to resolve problems caused by conflicting codec packs. This is an option to consider if you want a comprehensive codec pack to play various kinds of video files.

VLC player: Of course, this is not a codec pack but a versatile media player that you should consider having on your system. It is like a Swiss-army knife that is capable of playing a wide variety of video files.

Conclusion

Of course, one of the most common causes of any video file not playing is the codec factor. But what is also important to note is that there may be other factors such as corruption in the file. If the video file is corrupted, you may experience playback issues, audio video sync issues and so on. In such cases, you can repair the file using Remo Repair and play them easily.

So, if your MOV or MP4 file is not playing on WMP or other media players, just download Remo Repair MOV and repair your file. Once the file is repaired, you will be able to play your video file without any issues.
