1080p 29.97 to Blu-ray

June 20, 2013, 10:25 am

I have a project shot at 1080p 29.97 and this is my first attempt to export it for Blu-ray.  When I select the H.264 Blu-ray Format in Export Settings, there is no Preset matching the source format.  It looks like the best options are:

1. 1080i 29.97 - Would I lose resolution this way?  Is 29.97i actually 59.94 fields/sec with even fields on one pass and odd fields on the next (which would be parts of the same frame because it was shot progressive) or am I only going to get 540 lines of resolution?

2. 1080p 23.976 - How bad would artifacting be if I change the frame rate?  Would Twixtor do this perfectly or at least much better than Premiere?

3. 720p 59.94 - This would preserve the original frames (doubling them) but I would have less than half the resolution.

 

I notice the MPEG2 Blu-ray also does not have a format that matches the source but if I select Match Source Attributes (High Quality) the Summary lists the Output as 1920x1080, 29.97 fps, but doesn't indicate whether it's progressive or interlaced.  I just checked Wikipedia and it appears 1080p 29.97 is not a valid Blu-ray format.  So is the MPEG2 converting to interlaced without expliciting telling me in the Summary Output?  Is H.264 going to look better than MPEG2 (that would be my guess)?

 

Bottom line, what is the best option for highest quality output given the source material I'm using?

Adobe Premiere Pro - Crashing with OpenCL Hardware Acceleration on Export

June 20, 2013, 3:16 pm

Hey everybody,

 

One of the major reasons I decided to buckle down and pay for PPCC was the OpenCL Hardware acceleration with AMD cards. I run two AMD Radeon 7870s in Crossfire right now, and I immediately noticed a huge difference in performance when editing. When it came time to export my video, though, Premiere Pro would crash after rendering around 2% of the full video. I've tried both with and without Crossfire activated but using OpenCL with Hardware acceleration crashed my export no matter what. As soon as I turned it back to regular Mercury Playback (software only), the project rendered just fine.

 

I currently have the lastest AMD drivers and have had no other issues with my card, and I also gave PPCC the latest update as well. Any idea why this might be happening? I wouldn't be surprised if I need to wait for a latest AMD driver in order to get things to work with the brand new CC apps, but I figured I'd farm my question out here just in case. I'm running on Windows 8 64 bit.

CS6.0.2 Update No Fix For AVCHD Spanned Clips - Workarounds?

While I try to avoid Spanned Clips as much as possible due to a history with Premiere importing them, for event coverage we still get them and I just can't figure out how to make them work in Premeire CS6 on OS X. I see lots of posts about this and would like to know if there is a fix that does not require purchasing another product (like MTS Merge $35).

We are using AVCHD footage from Pansonic cameras and if it spanned, the sound will be missing for much or all or the clip.

I have tried using the Media Browser to import the entire AVCHD folder.

I have tried using Panasonics AVCHD Viewer application to import the footage (switches wrapper to .mt2s instead of .mts).

I have tried transcoding to new codec (Quicktime and VLC will play the MTS file correctly but output loses audio sync).

 

Ugh, this is terrible. Has anyone else found a workaround?

Missing audio for one frame

Okay, been using Premiere for well over a decade now and this problem has plagued me for years.  I've never found time to actually make a comment about it until now; I just would find a work around.

 

This has been going on since 2006, when I started using 1394 to capture video after a Matrox card went crispy.  Sometimes, seemingly at random, I lose one frame of audio on clips that I capture.  My captures rarely exceed 60 seconds.  I usually capture some head and tail black along with a slate if available, the issue could still be happening but I can't hear it since it's quiet anyway.  Here's an example:

audio drop.jpg

I zoomed in on the one channel to point it out; it spans both channels.  If I bring this in to Audition, the space times out to exactly one frame (0.033 seconds).  If I capture the same piece again, it's possible to have another frame drop but I've never had it at the same location twice.  I've had this from Premiere CS2 to 4.  I'm capturing off a Panasonic AJ-D250 directly to Premiere, no third party card.

 

Here's the first kicker: a completely separate system using a different model (still Pan. tho) deck in the same building has the same issue. I could bring this tape to that system and get similar results.

 

Kicker #2: I now have a completely new computer and have upgraded to 5.5.  The above was captured with that system.  The system also came with a different editor on it (a major one that I am not overly fond of and won't mention here) but that captures via 1394 without this issue.

 

I think I can rule some things out but the common items left are: 1394 capturing, using a Panasonic deck for playback and capturing into Premiere.  I've noted posts around the Internet describing the same issue dated as early as 2004.

 

Thoughts or ideas on how to eliminate this problem?

I have applied Lumetri Looks to the clips in my project. When I export the project; Pr starts exporting and at about 18%, exports stops and a error message comes up saying "an unknown error occurred".

 

The only way I can get Pr to export is to remove all instances of Lumetri Looks from my clips.

Converting NTSC to PAL in CS5, the audio is out of sync-too slow. What do I need to adjust?

Hi. I had to purchase a new Sony video camera in USA (NTSC 29.9fps). We are PAL, so most of my holiday movie is PAL 16:9 widescreen. When I imported the clips from the NTSC camera, I converted the clips to PAL 25fps but the audio is out of sync and appears to be too slow. eg. a male voice is high pitched and not quite audible. Is it the 'bit rate' difference causing the problem and if so, how do I change that in CS5? The PAL clips off my old camera are imported as MPG files. The new camera files are MTS. I am not sure if this is important but would appreciate some help. Thanks.

Is it possible to change the audio waveform color on Premiere CC's timeline?

This may be nitpicky, but I've lived my whole life with audio waves being darker than the background.  Now in version CC the waveform is light and the background is dark. I'm mentally fighting with the negative space.

CS6 AVCHD spanned media bug - My work around method

June 20, 2013, 4:22 pm

I've done some testing with some spanned AVCHD footage in Premiere CS6 today and confirmed the our Cannon Vixia HF M50 is affected by the issue (AVCHD footage from long spanned media clips freezing and stuttering in the timeline).  After confirming the issue I tried a basic work around, and it seemed to work pretty well. The idea is to manually link spanned clips within a premiere sequence and use that as a virtual clip.

 

So here's my steps:

 

1) On your Media drive of your computer, create a new Video folder, and manually move or copy the .MTS files from the STREAM folder of your AVCHD footage files to the new Video folder.

 

2) In your Premiere Project, use the Import function to bring the .MTS files in. In organizing, your may find it helpful to put all of the pieces of a spanned clip in a single bin. It is easy to recognize the beginning and end pieces of a spanned clip by looking at the durations. The last piece will have a shorter duration than the others.

 

3) Select all of the files that make up an individual spanned clip, or a bin that contains all the pieces of a spanned clip, then drop them onto the new item button.

 

4) Use the sequence that you just created as a nested clip. It should behave like proper spanned media. You will have to use the Sequence>Render Audio function when adding the nested clip to a sequence.

 

In my test this worked fine, and it is much less time consuming the transcoding to an intermediate codec.

I've been using Premiere since version 1.0 - almost 15 years.  One of the functions that I've always used was the "Show Frames" function on the video track timeline.  It's very visual and helps me to "see" my project a whole lot better.  And, now it's gone.  why?  Why take away a good thing?  Was it just forgotten?  Did some editor prefer the AVID look and feel?  is that what Adobe is doing?  Where is my Show Frames function in CC - I want it back!!!

CPU utilization when rendering

I'm currently doing my first HD render and noticed the CPU Usage is way below what it was for SD renders.  Specifically, when I rendered to MPEG2-DVD, the utilization stayed between 90 and 100% and utilized all cores.  Now when I export the same project (same preferences, same hardware) to H.264 Blu-ray, the CPUs only go to 20-30% and 3 cores appear idle.  Is this normal?

Premiere Pro creating impossibly huge project files

I am confused as to why Premiere Pro CS6 is creating projects files that are so enormous they either crash my computer while saving them, or when I try to open them again after closing them, they simply will not open because they are too big. I have NEVER seen Premiere Pro CS5 create a project file that was, for example, 1.75GB in size. Now, I can't even edit a two minute video without eventually losing everything because the file size becomes unmanageable.

 

I thought it might be an issue with Magic Bullet Looks 2.0, as I noticed the file would grow enormously every time I added an effect to a clip. Not sure. Anyone else having this problem, with or without Looks or other otherwise 100% compatible plug-ins?

Premiere Pro is clearly aware of the fully-qualified path to offline media.

 

I am aware that you can open the PPro project in a text editor and do a regexp search through it, but that is tedious in the extreme.

 

How can I find this information within PPro?

Premiere Pro CC - Importing MPEG sequence 720x576

Hello,

 

When importing a video from an old DV camera, I have many sequences in 720x576 / 25ips ... When I open these video in CC I get a black border on the right side of the video, about 15 px wide. I am not able to understand where it comes from as long as when I read the sequence in either VLC or other players, I don't have this black border on the right side. It's old video format (.VOB) from an old camera writing on small DVD.

 

I wasn't having this issue with previous version (CS6). So maybe you could help me to understand what's the issue in CC ?

 

Thank you.

Relinking to Proxy files with a different extension (CC)

June 19, 2013, 10:25 pm

Due to the well-documented and discussed AVCHD bug present in CS6 and now in CC, I tend to transcode all of my AVCHD footage for editing.  If it's a multicam project, I like to use lower-res proxies so playback stays smooth. 

 

The problem I'm running into is that whenever I go to relink my media to the original files for export, Premiere's new Link Media dialogue doesn't allow me to search for file names without including the extension.  So instead of being able to look for "Clip_01" regardless of the extension, it's looking for "Clip_01.avi".  When the original file is called "Clip_01.MTS", this tends to be a problem. 

 

I can manually go to the "Clip_01.MTS" file and make it link to that, but then the rest of my media just stays linked to the files they were linked to in the first place.  This makes it impossible to relink multiple files with different extensions.  I literally have to go through each and every clip and manually "Replace Footage" with the original MTS file.  Which sucks. 

 

So there you have it.  Is there any way to get around this?  I know I can transcode to both an intermediate and a proxy with the same extension, but then I would just be eating up harddrive space.  Should this be a feature request?  I thought Adobe had this whole relinking thing figured out.

As one of my requested features I was hoping that vector scopes would be (or could be) live while you were playing the video in the main monitor.  

 

Is there STILL no way to see composite video AND vectorscopes updating at the same time in CS6?

 

Did I miss something here?

I have a problem with DV output quality in Premiere CS6 6.0.1.

 

Nonrendered  and rendered video looks the same on external monitor - blurish.

 

- Mercury Software only

- DV PAL sequence

- DV AVI video + Premiere title

 

There is also bigger delay than with CS5.5 with outputing through firewire. It takes about a second to update image on external monitor after clicking on different part of the timeline.

How do I download Premiere CS6 with Encore?

I am putting together a wedding video and updated all my apps including Premiere to CC and uninstalled Encore, thinking there was a CC version. Well, I need to burn this video to a DVD with a cool menu and had one already created in Encore but can't use it since it's installed. I saw in another forum message that you have to redownload the entire Premiere CS6 family, but when I signed into my Adobe ID at CreativeCloud.com, found Premiere CS6, then selected Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, it opened the old Creative Cloud Download Manager, but Premiere CS6 never appeared.

 

I thought this was because I still had Premiere CS6 installed, so I uninstalled it, thinking it would now work. I restarted my Macbook Pro and when I select the download, it still opens the Download Manager and Premiere CS6 never ever comes up. How can I get Premiere CS6 back on my computer. I need it to finish this video and I'm on a deadline.

 

Thanks.
