Forcing Premiere Pro CS6 to Index Files.

The search bar is greyed out in the Project Panel in Premiere Pro CS6. Above the search box it says (Items to index 12). How do I get Premiere Pro CS6 to index files?

I ended up closing the Premiere and re-opening it and that prompted it to index everything. My co-worker had a few pieces of media whose link was broken because she had moved the files. She had to re-link those files to get Premiere to re-index.
Hope that helps

  • Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

    Greetings.
    After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
    Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
    Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
    Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
    Cheers,
    Jon Michael Ryan

  • Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

    Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX).  Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc.  project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly.  When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE.  That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot.  Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
    We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
    please help!
    thank you

  • Change default Premiere Pro CS6 importing of files so it's NOT alphabetical

    With Premiere Pro CS5, I was able to import my Photoshop files with multiple layers (shapes, text, images, etc) and they would appear in order of Photoshop organization. For example:
    Layers in Photoshop CS5:
    Logo
    Address
    Main Text
    Background
    Importing them into Premiere Pro CS5:
    Logo
    Address
    Main Text
    Background
    Notice the order stays the same.
    Now that I have purchased CS6, everytime I try to import the layers into Premiere, they are imported alphabetically.
    Layers in Photoshop CS6: (still same)
    Logo
    Address
    Main Text
    Background
    Importing them into Premiere Pro CS6: (now alphabetical)
    Address
    Background
    Logo
    Main Text
    How do I change the default setting so it imports in the same order as Photoshop? I would like this version to be the new default as I use this everyday for work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    CS6 newbie, CS5 intermediate

    In both cases, the PSD imported in the exact order I had it in Photoshop.  I even went back into Photoshop, changed the order, reimported and it came in with the new order.  So unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the issue.  Which means I have no means to find a cause or test a fix.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Generates HUGE file - Encoder settings help please

    Using PPCS6 to create a 6 minute AVI file. The source video is an AVI screen capture from Camtasia for an application that is spread across 3 widescreen monitors, making the screen/video resolution 5760x1200 with a frame rate of 30. I need to output the same resolution/aspect ratio (Camtasia will not do this, hence my use of Premiere).
    The initial screen capture is just under 2GB.
    The AVI output from Media encoder is 45GB which is just too big to use.
    Is there some settings I can use that will create a file of approximately the same size (under 3GB) and still look as sharp as the original capture?
    My current encoder settings are:
    Codec: Microsoft Video 1
    Quality: 90
    Width: 5760
    Height: 1200
    Frame Rate: 30
    Field Order: Lower First
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Depth: 8-bit
    Keyframe Interval: 8
    Optimize Stills checked.

    Camtasia files use their own TechSmith codec (TSCC) which is highly optimized for screen captures where hardly anything changes from frame to frame, and realistically you can't beat it with any of the default codecs, which are designed for full-motion video. With MV1 that file size is about what I'd expect from such a massive resolution. Also, do you really need 30fps? Most screencaps will look OK at 15 or even 12 at a push.
    You should be able to encode back to AVI/TSCC if you have Camtasia on the same machine as Prem, if not you can download the codec pack for free from Techsmith's website.

  • Premiere pro cs6 should support file gxf grass valley? where we can download a codec for if any?

    hi
    we will need to make qc using cs6 on mac with aja t-tap
    anyone know if there's codecs for gxf supported by premiere ?

    Hi everyone, just to update:
    I seem to have fixed the issue!
    No idea what it was, but it would either have been:
    a) rebooting my MacBook (unlikely!)
    b) updating the Apple firmware
    c) updating the Apple Retina Display update
    d) ....all of the above!
    It actually started working before going onto 10.8.3, so not related to OS X.
    In which case, apologies for the lengthy post - hope it helps anyone in the same situation in the future. Moral of the story: update the Apple software!

  • Unable to open my  Premiere Pro  CS6 projects

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Premiere PRO CS6 about two years. A few days ago i tried to open a project i createt half a year ago but was not able to. I got alway the error message Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    when i click to continue appears the message that the project could not be loaded beacuse its maybe dameged or  contains old elements.
    So what I tried,
    -     Reinstall Adobe premiere Pro CS6 (deleted all files and settings before)
    -      create an other User on the computer to be sure its not the user profile
    -     installed Premiere on a virutal machine
    -      open an other project from autosave
         always the same error
    than I  created a new project worked for about one hour on it. after saving closed the project => next day continued with the work on that file saved again, an since today that file is also not working any more same error as on the other fiel. The old file (saved after first day) is still working.
    I hope you can help me with that issue, in about a month I will have to make a bigger project and if Im not sure that premiere is working correct i might loose a lot of time.
    thanks for your help!!

  • Trouble importing .mxf files into Premiere Pro CS6

    Having problems importing MXF. file types into my Premiere CS6 project. I will go to import the folder and the yellow loading bar will come up to say that it's importing. Then it will freeze and the color wheeled loading symbol will come up (I'm using a Mac) and will just sit there. From there I'm forced to do a force quit on my project and re-open it again. Is there any way to fix this issue and if so what is the problem causing this issue?
    Also my mac is running on OSX v10.7.5 and Premiere is running on cs6 v6.0.2

    Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
    So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

  • Premiere Pro cs6 - Workspace video pane remains blank when trying to view imported files

    Hello,
    I'm currently working in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When I import my media into my workspace and drag it onto the timeline, the preview box where you can review your cut video remains black. Double clicking on the imported file gives the same result. I was initially importing .jpg files (about 300kb size for each) so I tried importing various other image formats - .png, .tiff, etc... I have even imported a movie file into my scene to determine whether the issue was with my content format. With the video, the audio plays fine, but the video remains blank in the preview box. I have tried rendering my workspace and changing my initial project settings, but to no avail. I went into my preferences for Premiere and from what I can determine, everything looks fine.
    I'm running the software on an HP Pavilion, Windows 7 intel i7, 8gb ram, with a nvidia 650M 2GB card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you tried to change your Video Renderer? It would be under Project > Project Settings > General. Switch the option to Mercury Playback Engine software only and see if it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6.  Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab.  Also get error message when importing to bin.

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television.  I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this.  I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer).  When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message.  The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them.  Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu.  They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file.  I am aware of this form:  Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?
    Third- I have watched some adobe video for created the CC files within Premiere. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-closed-captions-within-premiere-pro /
    However, I cannot find the "Caption" menu to do so?  Where is it?
    Am I running into problems because I am not on the Creative Cloud?  IF so, is it possible to upgrade and how do i do that.  Adobe has made it incredibly difficult to contact anybody.

    Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

    You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).

    Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.

    In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

  • Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

    First, all the system info:
    Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
    I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001  (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
    Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
    Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
    I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
    I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
    I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
    I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
    Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
    The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
    I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
    But now, two things happen:
    1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
    2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
    Huh?
    Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
    Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
    BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
    Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
    Multiplexer Tab:
    choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
    Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
    Video Tab:
    Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
    Quality: increase it to the max of 5
    TV Standard: NTSC
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Field Order: None (Progressive)
    Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
    Render at Maximum Depth box checked
    Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
    Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
    Audio Tab:
    Audio Format: Dolby Digital
    Codec: Dolby Digital
    Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
    I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
    I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
    And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
    So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

    Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
    It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
    Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
    I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
    So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
    Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
    I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
    I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
    I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
    Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
    Thus the primal scream.
    The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
    I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
    Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it.  :-)
    P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep.  In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
    Help. Please.  :-)

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

    Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
    NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

    Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

I have tried the origional .MOV file which I have reserched says works native with CS6. I also tried converting the file to .mpg. Both ways the files act the same. I have the settings for the project for DSLR at the proper resolution and frame rate also. I can hear the correct audio with the clip but simply the window is corrupted.
    I am using 15" Macbook Pro Retina base model.
    Thanks for any help.

    If you have the latest update for Premiere it contains updates for HiDPI display, which improves appearance on computers that use Retina Display, such as MacBook Pro computers
