Premiere Pro Keying issue

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I've been working with a client recently who has begun to trust me with a bigger workload. Most of the videos are fairly simple corporate tutorials featuring and actress speaking in front of a green screen with a few graphics and photos here and there. For the most part, I haven't had any issues, except for when I export. Some of the clips in the finished videos have this weird gray/black distortion for a second or two. Also, I created a mask through the Title menu so that the green part of the logo the actress is wearing wouldn't be keyed (I'm using Cs6), but at certain moments, the mask starts to move on its own. Is it a known fact that the ultra key effect is just glitchy for cs6? I'm almost positive all these issues are related to that.

 

I'm fairly new to the forums here, so below I've listed a bunch of specs. I'm not too technically savvy, but if there's something I should be listing here, let me know.

Linked After Effects Project Showing Test Cards

$

So,

 

Having enjoyed the Adobe workflow of Importing into premiere after effects comps & psds, I'm now dissapointed by support for collecting & archiving project files.

 

It seems that when you collect a Premiere project (in Project Manager) for sharing, it ignores any After effects files with their own linked assets... in my case AI illustrations.

 

So, I collected the after effects file up (in AI files) and then linked to those alternatives in Premiere... OK

Now when I try and archive the Premiere project, the After Effects comps are indeed archived, but when you view them in Proemiere, each "image" layer from AI, is replaced with a testcard image.

However, when I open the after effects comp itself everything is linked no probelm...

How can I get Premiere to recognise that the .aep files are valid?

 

Thanks

Audio Visualizer Without After Effects?

$

     Hello, i am creating a music video for my song, and I would really like to have an audio visualizer. Like the bars that go up and down to the music. Is there a plugin for this? I don't have After Effects, because i don't have enough money to buy another program at the moment, and there isn't enough space on my computer. Thank you!

What size should I make my project when it includes SD footage (720 x 480 4:3 and 16:9) as well as HD footage (1080 x 1920 16:9) ?

Audio Export and "stereo pan"

$

Hi!

I´m having some problems with audio export and I hope you can help me. Let me see if I can explain myself since I´m not an english native speaker.

 

I exported a video for broadcast, it was supposed to air yesterday but there was no sound on it. I can hear it in my computer, the TV Station can hear it on theirs, but it seems that when the signal goes out to the main antenna, it is returned with only one channel and that channel doesn´t have audio.

I don´t understand what is happening, I´m exporting in the same way I did before in the last season, but apparentely they changed their equipment or something. Someone from the Station told me that they forgot to tell me that I need to export using Stereo pan (they work in FCP), and since I work on Premiere, I´m not sure if there´s an equivalent for that. Should I export as mono tracks or do I have two change my audio settings for the sequence? Oh, and the only way they can check if the audio is right, is airing the video, they can´t check before that.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

New build, asking for Windows 7 install tips before beginning

$

Long ago I received some help from a few experts here in the PP forum and elsewhere when I built my first high end PC for editing. I am back four years later and asking for some pointers.

 

My current system is long in the tooth. I have been able to snag a new MB, CPU and drive. I'll combine and create a half new system next week. But I have not installed a new PC in about four years.

 

I'm wondering if you Premiere Pro/Windows experts can point me to a good resource/Guide in installing Windows 7. I had a LOT of trouble the first time and had to do it three times before i got it right.

 

One issue was RAID and AHCP or something like that. I cannot remember the acronyms.

 

I'll be installing Windows 7 Pro (64) on a new SSD drive.

Like with my current system, I'll have two drives in striped RAID for speeding up rendering. That worked out real well for me.

 

I will list my upcoming system specs at the bottom of this post.

 

Of course I will need to download all of the various codecs needed for Premiere Pro to run properly. I will try and find the old forum threads on this, though it seems links might be broken.

 

My RENDER drive (the striped raid) can be wiped clean and then when I am fully re-installed I can just re-render everything I need when I need, correct? It's my understanding that all of the rendering can be redone. It's my project drive with all of my project files (original video, audio, etc.) that must remain in-tact. Am I correct?

 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST... I have CS5 (ver 5.0.3 is listed when I open her up). Please understand I don't have the cash to upgrade right now. It works for me. I will eventually be able to upgrade.

 

Automatic downloads for CS5 are no longer supported. But I do them manually, correct? If I am right I need to go here:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=98&platform=Windows

 

I believe I need to download "electronic downloads" and install this after I have finished installing CS5 from my original install files.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 5.0.3 update for electronic downloads394.4MB12/7/2010
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 5.0.3 update for retail DVD394.4MB12/7/201

Please correct me if I am wrong.


My soon to be built system:

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P ATX white Full Tower Case

EVGA SuperNOVA 750w G2 (overkill, yes, my bad)

 

ASUS Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi ac) USB3.1

Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4GHz + Noctua NH-D14 cooler

Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD (MZ-7KE256BW)

 

from my old system...

MSI GeForce GTX460 PCI Express 2.0 (this will be replaced/upgraded later this year)

16 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 240-Pin SDRAM DDR3 1333 - 4GBx4 (will change/upgrade to new 32GB late 2015)

Premiere Pro CC ACA certification exam

I'm a bit confused. At Pearson, it appears you can only register for the ACE exam, not the ACA exam? Is that corrent?

 

If the ACA exam is available, does anyone know of a really good (and free or very cheap) study guide for this exam?

 

Also, the ACA exam appears to include sections regarding pre-production (video communication). Is there a way to take the exam so that it only focuses on editing in Premiere Pro, similar to Avid's Media Composer and Apple's Final Cut Pro X exams?

 

Thanks!

Drag and Dropping Effects stopped working out of nowhere

$

I'm so confused. I was working on a video project, using simple additive dissolve transitions as well as constant gain and exponential fade to ease in and out of clips. I literally dragged and dropped additive dissolve onto one and then when I went back over to the effects menu I wasn't allowed to drag and drop ANYTHING else. Just like that. I did absolutely nothing. It shows the little hand with the circle with the line through it and it shows that for all of the effects. How do I fix this? I restarted the program and I even tried going into other projects that I have, and no matter what, I can't get this function back. Please help!

RED footage no longer recognized in Yosemite & PPro CS6

$

I recently did a clean install of a new operating system on a SSD.  I re-installed PPro CS6. 

 

When I opened an old project, the RED footage showed up and played fine for a little bit.  However, if I go to render I get "unknown error compiling movie" and then all of the footage stops displaying.  If I startup premiere holding shift+option, I can get the footage to play again, but still can't do anything with it.

 

Additionally, when I go to media browser and try to look at RED clips, no thumbnail preview appears. If I try to import the RED footage, I get the message "unsupported format or damaged file."

 

Interestingly, in a different project file with RED footage, the project gives me the red "Media offline" for all the R3d footage and it is not playable at all.

 

I still have the old boot drive where I can load and work on the project files, but I want to be able to create and work with projects that have RED footage in the future on my new startup volume.

Strange auto-scrolling behavior in timeline

$

Hi all,

 

I've searched the forum but can't find a thread about this... I'm experiencing a strange feature/bug that's pretty irritating. A few minutes after I start Premiere, the timeline will start scrolling whenever I move my mouse cursor away from the center of the screen. You can see this happening at the link below:

 

Private Video on Vimeo

 

the password is: autoscroll

 

To be clear: this doesn't happen when I first start Premiere. It's usually 5-10 minutes into a session, and then I have to quit and re-start the program to get a few minutes of peace. Is this something I've accidentally turned on, that I can deactivate? It's really annoying to have the timeline scroll to follow my cursor, when I go for my effects or media browser.

Hello Adobe Community,

 

When I make a Trim file.

The top folder shows no data but when I drill down there is indeed data there.

Example "Trimmed_NIF EP 05"  right click properties reads 0 bytes

But when I double click the folder all 121 gigs are there.

But when I click on the .prproj file I get "The Directory Name is Invalid"

 

I have never seen this before.

H.264 re-compression, size issues

$
0
0

I was given an H.264 file (a screen recording) to perform some basic edits. I expected some loss of quality starting with a compressed file, but the end result was either a much bigger file, or so lossy as to be completely unusable (when I constrained the exported H.264 file to the same bitrate as the source). I ended up exporting using no / minimal compression and bringing the file into Sorenson Squeeze, which so far, has been giving me acceptable results while adding only a megabyte or so to the file size. I would like to be able to export directly from Premiere, though, without losing 90% of the image quality. Is it possible?
