Export to Clip Notes - No queue at AME

When I export my PP CS4 project (DV PAL) to Clip notes, Media Encoder opens, but there is no queue. All other exports do media encoder are working fine. Only the Clip Note export funtion seems not to work. Anyone challenged this before?

This is somehow interesting: I figured out that it works when I use the user defined settings. Only with the presets (such DV PAL or NTSC 512 KB Download) it does not work. I can live with that (but I Adobe should fix this). Did you try the presets?

Export to Clip Notes

Hi
When I try to export to clip notes After Effects freezes and trying to select anything gives me the 'ping' noise. The only way out of this is then to close the program down from the windows task list.
Anything?????
thanks

I never used Clip Notes myself, but I did a quick search, and came up with the following:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=clip+notes&siteSection=home&loc=en_us
There are no Clip Notes references in this list beyond AE9 (aka CS4). I suspect that the application was not retained in later versions. If you have any intentions of upgrading software beyond AE 9, I don't think I'd get in the habit of relying on Clip Notes.
If I'm wrong about this, an Adobe employee will most certainly set me straight.

How do i export pdf Clip note from premiere pro CC

I can't find anywhere to export as clip note in CC

Clip notes was, I think, dropped several versions ago.

CS4 - Clip Notes Export - streaming option

Anybody wanna save me a little time experimenting and go into a little more detail than is available in the manual? There is of course the promise of 10 points in it for you.
If I choose file/export/adobe clip notes and in the clip notes tab also choose "stream" and then check FTP in the others tab with all of the pertinent info including remote directory and back in the clip notes panel use the ftp address for the url setting - here is where I'm starting to get confused. Does the url setting need to include the path to the remote directory? Do I have to upload an encoded version of my sequence manaully to that direcory or does Media encoder upload that automatically? I've watched a couple of video tuts and read the manual but have no actual experience at this and would love to start using this feature with a client I am working with now.
TIA

edit - nope didn't work. I know the manual mentions that the ftp server also needs to be a web server. iDisk is a web server. I tried also just pointing to the file - with out the sharing which is probably not necessary - providing of course I have the right url path - didn't work. Could be the path I'm typing. http://www.me.com/idisk/my user name/movies/the file name
The work around I'm going to employ in the meantime is to do the embed option and upload that larger sized file to the ftp manually. Then when they save it it will email the smaller .xfdf file back to me and I merely import it.
What is a bit odd is that Adobe didn't use flash as a method of encoding this clip notes file. The same size .flv for the particular file I'm using as a test looks much nicer than either the .wmv or the .mov Adobe owns flash right?
Are you talking about the FTP upload function here? Because that HAS to be a proper FTP server in order for the FTP upload to work. In other words, if your website is http://www.mysite.com, you would need FTP access at ftp://ftp.mysite.com. Now, ClipNotes doesn't access fils through FTP, it access streaming files through HTTP, so wherever the file is hosted on the Internet, it needs to be accessible through the HTTP protocol. I'd imagine that your iDisk (is that the Mac thing?) would probably work for HOSTING the file, but you'd need to find an alternate means of uploading the encoded video to that host. There's probably some sort of web-based front-end for iDisk, instead of having FTP access as a typically web host would provide.
Long story short: you don't have to use the FTP upload built into AME in order to use Clip Notes. You DO have to set the URL for the uploaded video properly, but the video does not have to be uploaded by AME in order for Clip Notes to work. The file will be encoded and saved locally, to wherever you opt, and you can manually upload the encoded video later. This is how I imagine you'd have to use the iDisk hosting/space.
Does that make any sense?
I've often wondered why Adobe didn't opt for Flash in Clip Notes, and the only thing I can come up with is the Flash video container file doesn't provide for accurate enough seeking. Flash video tends to jump to specific keyframes, making navigation (and therefore, commenting via Clip Notes) a challenge or even impossible. I guess it's conceivable that they'll work something out in a later revision of Clip Notes, but that's merely wishful thinking.

Random Clip Notes

I'm having a strange problem. When I export to clip notes (Embeded - QT - NTSC Widescreen Source to 512kbps) it adds a bunch of one word random comments. Does anyone know why this is? And how to prevent this from happening? Thanks.

After you go to File > Export > Adobe Clip Notes, hit the flyout menu button and uncheck the "Include Source XMP Metadata" option. Like this:
Important note: be sure to reinitiate the Clip Notes export from Premiere Pro. If you simply duplicate the export queue item in AME and uncheck the metadata option, it won't work. This very thing drove me absolutely batty the other day...!

Clip Notes + Streaming QuickTime = broken?

I guess this is more of an AME or Reader issue, but figure that PPro users are the most common users of Clip Notes...
I've tried exporting a Clip Notes PDF with streaming QuickTime video from both PPro CS3 + AME, PPro CS4 + AME, and standalone AME CS4, and all of them report an error: "Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip:"
If I use QT but select to embed the file, it works fine. If I use WMV, either embedded or streamed, it works fine. I have confirmed that I'm setting the URL correctly in the Clip Notes settings. The QT spit out by the Clip Notes export plays fine in QT Player, so I know the video itself isn't broken. I'm attempting to play/view these using Reader 8.1.3.
Obviously, the solution would be to not use QT, or to at least embed it, but it's a much larger file than can be comfortably sent to my client (who isn't that technologically savvy). I like the QT option because of the ability to easily navigate/rewind the video.
Anyone else experiencing issues with Clip Notes and streaming QuickTime?

I'm using Vista 64.
I was having the same problem with the transport controls not showing up.
I set AcroRd32.exe to run in XP mode and that fixed the problem with the embedded movie file.
Transport controls show up.
Thanks.
I hoped that would also fix the QT streaming problem.
However, if I select "Streaming" and upload it to my server then when the Clip Notes tries to play the file it says "
This happened also before I set AcroRd32 to XP mode.
No problem with "Clip Notes Windows Media" format. It uploads and plays fine.
The .mov file is on the server. I can play it fine in a browser.
Any ideas why Adobe Reader won't play a streaming .mov file in Clip Notes, but will play a streaming .wmv file?
You really need to use QT so you can scrub the timeline.
.wmv files don't let you scrub!
Adobe why haven't you after all these years made Clip Notes use flash?
If you did it would truly be cross-platform.
Thanks.

Clip Notes won't play/no controls

I export Adobe clip notes from Premeire Pro CS4 and when one tries to open with Adobe Reader 9 there are no player controls, so the video clip cannot be played. I am running Vista 64 bit. Does Adobe Reader 9 not work with clip notes?

You would think that Adobe might do us the courtesy of letting
Prelmiere Pro users know that Clip Notes aren't going to work anymore with Adobe
Reader 9.x or later. Adobe Tech Support seems to be clueless about the issue. Does one hand know what the other is doing?

Clip Notes

When I export a clip note file from Premiere CS4 the comments box in the pdf file has a complete speech transcript from the original video under the heading [Sender]. When the notes are then re-imported to the sequence timeline I get a marker point for every word. Is there a way to stop this.

Clip Notes .pdf error - "Bad encrypt dictionary"

I'm using OS X Leopard (10.5)
I created a Premiere Pro 2.0.1 project, added a couple of markers with comments, and exported to Clip Notes. I did not set any password protection. Emailed it as an attachment to a client who is using Windows, to see if they could open it. They could not, they received the following error message:
"There was an error opening this document. Bad encrypt dictionary."
Any ideas what this is? Is there a basic incompatibility between Mac-generated Clip Notes files and Windows platform? (I know that Mac can only export the video file in a Clip Notes .pdf as QuickTime, but that does not seem to be the problem here, the client does have QT on their Windows PC.)
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I could not find any obvious place to post questions about Clip Notes .pdf files.

Same thing happened to me. Update your adobe reader to the latest version. Open the file with that reader instead of with your copy of adobe acrobat. Unfortuanltey, you lose all the features of the adobe software, but at least you can read the file.
Hope you are able to read the doucments from the utility.
Note: If you are saving pdf's save then in a version that will allow those who have at least acrobat 6.0. Many orgnaizations and people are a couple of versions behind due to realative costs of upgrading. This simple task will save you those emails about "bad encrypt dictionary" and allow many to read your pdf's with no problems. At least that's been my experience.

Premiere Encore and Premiere Clip Notes Problem

I am having a problem that appears when exporting from Premiere (CS4) to Encore or to Clip Notes.
The opening of my projects is the FBI warning still; this transitions to an imported 'produced by' animation; this then transitions to a 'directed by' still which then a dip to black for moment; then street sounds start -- all so far so good. Very quickly after the street sounds start in black, the actual video footage commences and this is where the problem is.
What one sees is a small image off to the lower right of the screen - the image that should be in full screen is re-positioned off screen to the right and is also lower. The only image one is seeing is the upper left quadrant of the image one should be seeing, the rest of the image, being off-screen, is not seen. This occurs for 16 frames then it snaps to the correct position.
Key points:
This is not occurring in Premiere. It occurs ONLY after exporting to Encore through the ADL (watching it in Preview), AND it occurs when it is exported to Clip Notes.
It does NOT occur if the file is exported to Encoder then checked by burning it to DVD via a third-party burn program.
There are no keyframes in the clip in question. And there are no keyframes in the clips prior.
We have checked the properties of the clip in question, the clip prior, and the clip after, and they are all identical in terms of position, etc.
Anyone got a clue?

Clip Notes in CS4/Acrobat 9: exports transcript, no controls for QuickTime

When I use the Transcribe feature, then export my project to Clip Notes, it exports every transcribed word as a separate comment. There doesn't seem to be any way of suppressing that, and there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting a transcription either in PP or in Acrobat. The result is that the reviewer sees all these comments and has to fight with Acrobat to insert new comments. When I import the xfdf back into PP, I get the whole transcription loaded into markers along with the reviewer's comments. Unless I open every one, I can't tell what's what.
Is there at least a way of deleting the transcription in PP or Acrobat?
Also, if I export the video as QuickTime, there are no player controls in Acrobat. I only get player controls if I export as Windows Media. That means that some Mac users won't be able to use my Clip Notes exports. I've seen others asking about this, but no answers. Any ideas? I'm running this under Windows Vista Ultimate.

But I find it amazing that there's no way to delete the damn thing. Adobe made a big deal of transcription, but it seems they didn't regard it as more than a gimmick, since they did it half-baked. I think you're right that it's best not to use this "feature".
I don't know if it's necessarily half-baked, so much as it is an overly optimistic appraisal of the capability of the technology at this point in time. I mean, it does create words, and sometimes very interesting ones at that
What's interesting to me is that when I tested out the transcribe feature back when Adobe released the beta of Soundbooth CS4, it was MUCH more accurate--and I was testing it on the mixed, final soundtrack of a documentary captured from Betacam SP. The transcription wasn't anywhere near 100%, but it was actually usable. Now, it struggles on pristine audio from a single, clear voice track. Wish it wasn't so...
Anyway, you can stop the transcription from appearing in a Clip Notes export. Check out the following screenshot for the how-to:

Clip Notes streaming export causes Reader media clip error

MacPro HDV captured into PPCS4, export OK to Adobe Clip Notes streaming, uploads .mov file to my FTP site OK. The .mov clip plays fine locally in QT. When I open the clip notes pdf in Acrobat 9 Reader for Mac or Acrobat 8 Pro on Vista, both give the same error on opening: Javascript window - error reading media clip. The clip does not load into the pdf, and I can not get error information to debug.
Answer: I need QT streaming server. The Clip Notes streaming is true streaming, not progressive-download or pseudo-streaming. I did not see this in the Premiere CS4 documentation.

I'm using Vista 64.

Export Markers to CSV - limitations of Clip Notes

One of the problems with Clip Notes is that it only works well for first generation notes. Adding responses is an exercise in patience that is certainly beyond me. And that's the polite way of expressing it!
Until someone at Adobe revises the functionality in Acrobat to make responding less an exercise in window scrolling and more just about entering text in the fastest way possible and printing it out, it would be far easier if one could just respond on the timeline marker level and then export all notes to a tab delimited text file. There have been hints here about a plug in to do it but they've only been hints. Can anyone point me to the right person or place? Please?
David

Well, this is a constant problem I see everywhere in Adobe UI design. Everything seems to be initially conceived for the lowest common denominator of use. There are only two reasons I can see for this - someone in charge thinks that it's cheaper and/or the designers don't actually use the software except in a cursory way. The first reason is just plain dumb because fixing the stuff afterward is far more expensive than doing it right the first time. I mean look at Premiere Pro. The awful design choices in 1.0 are still being fixed and will continue to be for the next two to three versions, if ever.
To be fair, no software is initially created 'perfect'. It's just that of all companies whose products I've used over the last 25 years, I think Adobe typically fairs the worst out the gate. They're trying to change that now, with user consultation much earlier in the design process but I still see that same old mind set at work.

Audio Will not export for clips longer then one minute

I am running adobe premiere pro cs3 on my HP Pavilion. i run windows XP service pack 2.
Until recently i had no problem but the other day I tried exporting from adobe media encoder under these settings:
Format: M-PEG 2
Widescreen 16:9
NTSC
The bit rate varies. I've done larger bitrates and smaller bitrates. it doesnt help.
And suddenly it would render my full video with an mpg extension but there was no audio. I ran it again but shortened the size of the clip, and it came out perfectly fine, audio in tact. lengthened the sequence again and it wont export audio. its not that the audio box isnt checked, and its not rendering the audio as a seperate file like it used to. I do a LOT of editing and run my own online show, so it is very important for me to be able to render these videos like this. I could always render as AVI but that takes up soooooo much space, and most of the other formats are too low quality for me to import again and edit, or even just to upload for people to see. can anyone help me?

Yes, HDD = Hard Disk Drive. One often sees it listed as HD, but that can also stand for High Def, so I use the HDD abbreviation myself.
Now, how you have things set up, that 15GB of free space is probably not nearly enough. This is especially if one has their Windows Page File dynamically managed by the OS (default method), as it is very, very likely that the Page File is filling up the remainder of the HDD.
If everything is on the external, media, Project, Scratch Disk, Export folders, etc., one might be able to squeak by with that overloaded HDD, but I need to point out - at about 75% of capacity, the HDD's performance will start to slow, and this will intensify, as more is used. This overfilling can result in failure. I would look into cleaning up the C:\.
Also, when video editing, a 2x physical (not partitions) HDD setup is the bare minimum, and a 3x HDD setup is even better.
Some get around this, a bit, by using eSATA externals, which will be almost as good as the internals. Not sure that I would recommend any other connection type though. I use FW-800 externals, but have a minimum of a 3x internal on my laptop and an 8x on my workstation, so there's always plenty of internal storage. I just use the externals, to migrate the Projects between my computers.
Good luck, and pay really, really close attention to that filled C:\.

Colour Correction not exporting on clip

Hello
I am trying to broadcast safe a project I am working on and have come pretty close to colour safe levels. However I seem to be a little over white exceptance. So I've added a levels effect to pull down the bright areas, then I re-export the clip complete with changes, bring it back into PP and the effect hasn't shown up in the export. I have applied the clip both to an adjustment layer and the clip itself.
See image attached
The image on the left is slightly over 1volt colour safe. Then I add the levels effect (on the right) which corrects it, then export. Once I bring it back in the levels are still as they are on the left.
I'm exporting to Prores 422, MPEG2 and also exporting using sequence settings. No joy.
Any ideas?

That looks close for something that is not that much over anyway when just applying Levels with No parameter changes.
If the original was a bit more over you would see noticeable clipping ( flat) by just applying Levels with No parameter changes.
Use Levels on an Adjustment Layer or directly on the clip (not both) but drop white (highlight) down a tad more. eg 98%
DO a test by going too far.
How does the RGB Parade look. You need to check Chroma Levels as well..
