Trouble importing FCP XML into Premiere CC

$

0

Hi All,

 

When trying to import the XML of a project (which contains multiple sequences and bins with markers and descriptions) I get the error "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."  Yet, all sequences are Pro Res 422

 

Any suggestions?


Bug report: clip marker is placed incorrectly

$
0
0

(filed)

 

Product Version: 7.2.1

Your operating system: Windows 7

 

******BUG******

 

Clip marker in audio clip is placed at incorrect location

 

Steps to reproduce bug:

1. Highlight WAV audio clip in sequence, in this case bottom audio track below one other audio WAV clip and two video/audio tracks

2. press M at desired marking point, as indicated by playhead

 

Results:

Marker is placed to left (earlier) of the playhead by one frame, and I have seen it to the right (later) by one frame.

 

Notes:

 

1. Markers were placed correctly in the two of three  audio clips on top of this one in the sequence

2. the misplaced marker cannot be deleted, although it can be selected.

 

 

Expected results:

Place the marker at the playhead, not just nearby. Accuracy counts!

Screen Corruption on Export

$
0

Hi,

trying to export a project from Premier Pro CC on Mac (OSX 10.8.5 8G RAM)

 

Don't normally have a problem but this project is being a pain. The sequence is only about 2m47 but it just takes ages exporting, and after a while (as you can see below), the screen corrupts & nothing works.

 

Have tried cleaning the media cache

 

Have tried exporting a movie from another project: fine (well, still slow but not as slow as the other)

 

We're mainly working off the system HDD which is 750G but only has 36G free. Surely that's enough breathing space though?

 

Only thought is that this project may have been started in PP CS6 and then converted into PP CC.

 

Any ideas welcome

What driver is making all clips be "white screen"?

$
0
0

I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 7.  I previously was able to import and edit clips via exactly the same workflow - but now, not matter what clips I import, they all appear as the 'white screen'.  The thumbnail is a frame of the video, but as soon as I mouse over, scrub, or try to play the clip, it turns totally white.  Audio will play fine though.

 

I'm almost positive it has to do with using an AOC display that plugs in via USB.  This is based on a similar issue I had using that display on a Mac and having part of a Blackmagic Design software UI not appear while using that screen. 

 

I've tried lots of things, including updating the driver for my graphics card, from the manufacturer's site.  Does anyone know of something else I can try - especially a way to undo whatever was done when I plugged in that USB display (worked without manually installing any drivers).

 

Please help.  I needed to finish this project this morning

 

Thanks so much!

Premiere CC's XML and EDL files not being interpreted correctly by Redcine-X - clip duration problem

$
0
0

I'm having a recurring problem when sending a finished sequence to Redcine-X for final color correction.

 

Redcine-X doesn't read the in and out points on seemingly random clips in a timeline, making the problem clips overlap onto the surrounding clips on the same timeline track. So halfway through the video, one of the clips will just keep playing all the way to the end, and all the other clips that should be playing stay invisible in the viewer. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

 

The reason I'm posting here rather than on Redcine-X's support is because the problem seems to be coming from the way Premiere generates the XML. FCP's XMLs are interpreted correctly.

 

I've tried removing all effects and speed changes before exporting XMLs from Premiere. I've restarted, trashed prefs and cleared cache in Premiere. I've tried on two different computers. I've also tried exporting EDLs and the same problem happens.

 

My Premiere sequence is using proxy ProRes files, created from R3D files that RCX relinks upon import.

 

System/Software info:

Premiere CC is up to date

Running the newest Redcine-X build 22.2.31684

Macbook Pro Retina running OS 10.8.4 with NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1024mb, CUDA is updated, 16 GB RAM

Mac Pro running 10.8.5 with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB, 4 GB RAM

 

As a side note: Premiere CC has been extremely disappointing so far. I'm having so many issues and crashes, so many advertised features seem to be buggy or not work at all, and Adobe makes it so hard find or get support. None of the threads on this community board have been helpful so instead of going through this arduous process I just fall back to using FCP7. I hope it gets better.

 

Thanks for any help.

Puzzling extreme slowness/hung exporting sequence with Ultra Key

$
0
0

my current workstation specs: iMac mid 2011, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radion HD 6970M 2048 MB. Premiere Pro 7.2.1, AME 7.2.0.43.

 

I stopped an export in AME that had been going 19 hours, reporting 43 hours left to finish. The sequence was under 7 minutes, using native AVCHD material, effects applied including Ultra Key and 3-way Color Corrector, an animated background, and some text. I was exporting using the YouTube settings, customized to do 1 pass instead of 2. AME crashed when I hit "stop" the next morning, but clearly wasn't functioning in any practical way, though at some point overnight, some progress had been made. I have a screen grab of the AME window just prior to the crash.

PP_export_grab.jpg

Whenever I would try this export, the first few seconds, which was text over a background, would go ok and then it would choke at the Ultra Key part. I've never seen that chopped head before in the preview pane. In case it isn't clear, the dude's head should be a normal part of the sequence, I didn't key it out or anything.

 

I tried doing an export straight from Premiere, and also tried just exporting a "same as sequence" rather than compressing to H.264. These also choked/hung. Meanwhile, on another older work station I tried a similar sequence, identical specs as above but with a different on-camera subject.

 

Older workstation specs:

iMac late 2009, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1333MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB, Premiere Pro 7.2.0, AME 7.1.0.174

The graphics card on this computer is not up to spec so the export was done using the software only.

 

Here's the puzzling part: on this older computer, with a slightly older version of Premiere, using software only, the export went totally normally. Both using direct export and also using AME. Compressing to YouTube settings. Worked as expected. So I went back to the newer workstation, removed Ultra Key from the sequence in the grab example above, exported using AME and compressing to YouTube settings, and again it worked as expected, within a "normal" time frame of under 10 minutes, or in less time than it took to type all this.

 

So, is it a bug that Ultra Key doesn't play well with the latest version of Premiere/AME?

YC Waveform Zero Baseline

$
0
0

So I noticed that when I pull in footage (often from the same day/shoot/location/hour) and throw up the YC Waveform monitor - some clips have the solid green thin bar at the far right of the monitor screen pinned" at the zero tick mark. This is to say no amount of sliding ro curving makes that vertical rule lift off of the zero line. However... other clips that I monitor I am immediately able to lift the green bar up off of the zero and up to say "16" with no problem.

 

What is determining whether that baseline can be raised or not, from one clip to the next, when CCing footage from the same shoot on the same camera.

Issue importing ProRes files

$

Just bought Premiere CS6.  Have an issue importing ProRes files.  Have searched a dozen forums and FAQ pages, and not got a clear or functional answer.  I'm trying to find a phone number for Adobe Product support.  It is almost evil.  Every page takes me to either a FAQ page, or this forum, or back to the page I started at, never arriving at the product support number that is promised with the purchase of the product.

 

Anyone got a suggestion?

 

I've already posted my issue on this forum several days ago, but received no answer as of yet.

 

When I try to import a ProRes file into Premiere CS6 (latest ver.) all that comes in is the audio track.

 

I've come across rumours and hints in various forums that suggests I should be able to import and edit ProRes in CS6, just not export ProRes.  Which is fine.  It allows me to do an edit on a Windows platform (in the studio where I'm working) and then I can bring the project back to Mac and output the master as ProRes.

 

Help please!!

Completely Lost Audio to PP Glitch. Tight Deadline. Urgent

$
0
0

Right in the middle of an edit the sound dropped out completely. Well no big deal, this happens sometimes in PP. I restarted the App but it was still the same. On all my sequences what's even more odd is that all the waveforms were gone but the original files were still being referenced and the audio would play fine in the source monitor just not the timeline. I then opened an autosave to find that the waveforms returned but still no audio on the timeline (no audio meters either). If I match framed a clip then performed an insert edit the sound for that clip would play again. Sounds like a fix. Wrong if I close the project and reopen then those files that are new on the timeline are muted also. Somehow every sequence is this way? Even in the autosaves?

 

TROUBLESHOOTING:

I've tried changing my audio hardware to 4 different sources.

Rebooted machine.

Imported the project into a completely fresh project with no results.

Exported an XML and imported into a fresh project SOL.

Reset PP preferences.

Updated from 7.1 to 7.2.1 - NOPE

And for the big finale. Did a full reinstall.

This worked!!! For a day. Until this morning. Now I'm right back where I started except I've done a lot more work. All sequences have no audio meters again.

 

One more test: I created a completely new project and imported just a sequence from the original project. That sequence came in and all the clips with it have audio stripped. No waveforms present. This is really bizarre. If I bring one of the original clips in from the finder and put it on the timeline there is audio until I save and reopen then that one clip does the exact same thing. If I open any other project besides this one the audio plays.

 

Can someone please give me insight into what's going on. BTW no tracks are muted manually this happened right in the middle of an edit and somehow effects all autosaved versions of this project. Any help is much appreciated since there is no way I can redo this in another edit package with the time I have left.

Add marker to clip in timeline

Audio gain adjust: is it destructive or meta?

$
0
0

I've looked all over the manuals and net and cannot find an answer to this simple question. (and that's a question in itself: why?)

 

Does an Audio Gain adjustment of a  clip modify the actual stored audio, or just its presentation (playback and visible waveform)?

That is, can I increase gain to the point where some audio is severely clipping, then adjust it negative by the same amount after? Or is it damaged by then?

 

I would like to increase gain sometimes, to make visual audio syncing easier, then restore it. I don't want to do this if I am actually modifying the asset somewhere.

Specific Video Footage in Premiere Pro CS5 completely black.

$
0

I've been working on a music video project in Premiere Pro CS5 for the past few months and everything has worked really well until just a few days ago, when a certain chunk of my high speed footage randomly turned black. I have it in its own bin so it's separated from my other video source files. If I try to preview these videos, all it shows is black footage (though the timelengths for each one are still correct). I checked and made sure the actual .avi files on my hard drive still worked, and they played through perfectly. I tried re-importing these videos into my project file and that didn't do anything. I made sure they were connected to the right files in the right folder on my computer, and they were. The rest of my video footage works just fine, so I'm confused why this certain bunch randomly turned completely black.

 

I backed up the entire project to an external hard drive and loaded it on a different computer with Premiere Pro CS6 on it, and everything works perfectly again. Does anybody have any idea how I can get my footage to return from the black abyss it's fallen into on my personal computer running CS5?

Audio listed Out of Sync

Hey there, having an issue with my current feature film project.  Just got my project back from my editor and all of the audio is listed out of sync, yet during playback it's sync'd fine.  Curious if there is a way to manually go in and tell premiere pro that the audio and video files are in sync?

When I import an mpg, the video splits into two? Look at the attached photo.


Premiere Pro, Flash or Ae?

Looking for advice, I am a Graphic Designer with no formal training in animation.  I recieved a job I just can't pass up.

It is a great opportunity for me to learn animation.  I need to create a cartoon mascot that will be in an environment, that will also be animated.

 

It will be animated for presentation purposes, on-site seminars, youtube, and webinars.  Will also be uploaded to a flash to hand out.

Would also love to do text/information effects, as well as to animate on the web.

 

I am trying to chose an Adobe product that will help me acheive this, did some research and was interested, just not sure which product to use.

I like what I see so far on Ae, but when I called Adobe they said Flash & Premeire Pro.

 

I am currently learning web design, it would be better for me to learn one program to acheive animated presentation with creative effects, for videos, and web.

I have heard all different things about flash on the web,

and I truly do not need to get in a tangle mess of changing and importing files for the animation to be on the web.

 

Is Ae the right product for me to learn?  or is Flash & Premiere Pro?

I have CS6 Master collection.  I would like to achevive presentation and 2D animated Cartoon with same program,

across all platforms for the web would be nice too.

 

I need to make a decision because I have to educate myself to acheive a creative presentation.

Any suggestions on Which program to start out with would also be great!

Seminar presentation, youtube videos, email blasts, & webinar, one program to learn...is it possible??

Your Help on this matter is SO appreciated!

"Invalid menu operation" Alert bug - CS6

CS6.0.5

In the last couple of weeks I have started getting this alert:

Alert2.png

.

I have tried to pay attention to what I have do to create this alert.

 

Occasionally it simply appears on opening a Project.

Reliably, it pops up when I hit Ctrl > z (undo), and Ctrl > s (save)...

but after clearing the alert, Ctrl > [Anything] does not make it reappear.

This happens regardless of the Project.

 

edit:

I have just discovered that if I try to use File > Save

instead of Ctrl > s to save, the alert appears as soon as

I touch the File Menu header (or any other Menu header).

Menus.PNG

 

As in the replies in the thread below, there seems to be

no detriment to any functionality when this alert appears.

Maybe it's an inconsequential bug, but it does appear to be a bug.

I had worked in CS6 for almost a year without this alert occurring once.
