Hi. I need urgent help with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

Hello there. I am new to using Adobe Premiere CS3. As I have given up on Vegas. But I am stuck at the first hurdle! Please help.
When I load up Premiere, I select new project. Once I click that it asks me to load a preset. And I have no idea what to choose! And I have a project that needs to be edited, I am really anxious about it all.
My footage that I want to edit was shot on a 600D DSLR. And I dont know what preset to choose for the best quality when I render. (I cannot recall what shuitter speed I shot at I think it was varied).
Belowe is a picture that I am stuck on.
So IF YOU COULD PLEASE tell me what to select for my 600D footage I would be so grateful.!!!
(I also plan to put the edit onto a DVD - If that matters). (And Youtube).

Or, if you don't have a 64bit computer and Win7 64bit to run CS6, take a look at Premiere Elements 10
I **think** it works with your camera, but check the PreElements forum before you buy

  • Help with Adobe Premiere Pro and AME CS6

    Hi all,
    First off, i would like to state that i'm pretty inexperienced in video editing, so please keep that in mind when answering or questioning something.I will try to explain my question to the best of my abilities, but please answer in a 'simple' manner, and don't shoot me when i miss something obvious.
    I came across a 'performance?'-issue (slow exporting) for which i don't really know how to find the solution. I've been struggling with it for a while.
    Your (any) help or insight is greatly appreciated!
    My system:
    Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit (Service Pack 1)
    RAM 20 GB
    Intel Core I73770 (dual quad core)
    Direct x 11.0
    Nvidia NVS 310
    Adobe premiere pro CS6 (upgrading to adobe CC is unfortunately not an option)
    Adobe media encoder CS6
    They asked me to edit some video's on a regular basis, nothing complicated, just a 'training'-video. Length of video is about 2 hours edited.
    File info:
    Source file is 1920x1080 (1,0), 25fps, Upper, 2:11:10:24, 48000Hz, Stereo
    There is one audio channel (left is standard mic, right is a shotgun mic) which is split to two audio channels, edited in aodbe audition (basic noise reduction)
    I've been running into export times of over 12 hours (exported to mp4), which i'm guessing is a bit much.. . The slowness is also occuring with other export settings.
    I came across a possible solution (in short: changing the Video Rendering and Playback in the project settings of APP) but that field is inactive for me...? what's up?
    "Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6
    I don't really know what to do from here, to figure out the solution. Any suggestions on fixing or troubleshooting the extremely long export times??
    Thx in advance.

  • Needing help with Adobe Premiere Pro

    Yes, I know it is ancient but I still use it. I use it for my school's daily news broadcast. We capture our students as if they are presenting a live news program and then assemble in the timeline. We use a miniDV camcorder and firewire. Once we have all of the elements in the timeline, we then are able to play the timeline via the firewire (hooked to the camcorder) through the play/edit mode through a VCR out via coaxial cable to all of the classrooms in our school.
    My current problem is that I encountered an error while creating a movie. I have a preset that saves versions every 3 minutes. I tried opening each of them but it just keeps saying it's loading but that is it...nothing ever comes on the screen. I moved a title slide (in a folder outside of the project folder destination) right before I had decided to make the movie. I did get one version to open---finally but thought...well, let's try a later one...so I don't have to "recreate" everything I had just done....then none of them would open...not even the one I got open.
    Also, if anyone has any suggestions on a different way to do what I am doing using newer technology...please share.
    Finally, is there updates that maybe I need to download or something to continue to be able to use Premiere Pro???
    Please share any and all suggestions...desperate in Missouri

    John,
    Take a trip in the WABAC Machine.
    Now, I could be wrong, but when the OP said "Yes, I know it is ancient but I still use it." I assume they meant the original version. The one without a number. The one some people called Premiere Pro 7, or Premiere 7. Or whatever. The one right after Premiere 6.
    I remember having to go through the numbering explanation in my tutorials on Premiere Pro 1.5 since confusion reigned. You can still watch the introductory video and get my explanation starting around the 40 second mark.
    But, as I said, I could have it wrong. They might have a different version.

  • Problem with Adobe Premiere pro cs3 3.0

    Hello there! I have this odd new problem in adobe premiere cs3 that i havent encountered before and ive tried to solve it but cant =/
    If i import a picture into the project it lies there like it should ready to be dragged onto the timeline, the problem is the preview of the picture and the screen when i drag it into the timeline is black.. i cannot get the picture to appear as it just keeps being black, ive tried diff sizes of pictures, the only pictures that ive found that works so far are the windows example ones..
    Answers Asap are appriciated, its a wedding movie and has to be done by tommorow night..

    Can you download and install G-SPOT and run those problem files through it. Tell us what G-Spot tells you. That article, that John T. linked to, should have some details on G-Spot, IIRC.
    It is likely that the CODEC is not one that is properly installed, or one that PrPro can use to edit. The good things about VLC Player is that it's free, good and carries most of its own CODEC's. The bad thing is that playing an AV file is not the same as editing that same file, and so a test in VLC will only tell you so much.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's.
    Good luck,

  • Can u do this with adobe premiere pro cs3?

    Hi,
    my name is Jeffken ,I'm a photoshopper for almost 3 years (I think).
    I do alot of designwork for lot's of diffrent customers from family to friends to company's.Webdesign,photo's,...
    But yesterday a customer asked me if it was possible to make an animated projection of a city in snow. I know how to make animated gif's with photoshop but is it possible to shoot some nice footage with my videocamera and to load it in Premier Pro cs3 and to make the footage snowy,cold?
    Thx in advance tips and stuff are welcome!!
    Grtz
    Jeffken

    Nonesense, you can do it with Premiere.
    (1) In Photoshop, create a large resolution image with snow flakes on a blue screen background. Use that as a foreground.
    (2) In Premiere, place your foreground on top of the background and use blue screen options to retain only the snow flakes.
    (3) Increase the size of the foreground image a few hundred percent and use the movement option to slide the foreground down (as you would do in a crawl title effect).
    (4) Use various layers and various crawl speeds. When a crawl in done, fade into the next crawl to the snow flake effect goes on as long as you want.
    (5) You can use brighness variations on the snowflakes to create an organic effect.
    (6) To enhance the effect, use slightly different crawl angles on each layer.
    It works. I used this technique to create a sandstorm effect and it was so convincing, nobody knew it wasn't a real sandstorm.

  • I need urgent help with my macbook pro, installed a theme and now unable to open windows, please help !

    Hello,
    I installed a theme on OS X Lion that was actually made for snow leapor, because on a youtube video someone said it works with Lion too,  
    After installing it I got problems seeing close and minize icons.
    And After reinstalling my Macbook pro, I am unable to open finder, Safari, Terminal etc.
    I have tried to get help from several help forums, and tried changing files as described here

    Okay, it's both for your first question: When I import the songs to the library, the songs are not in the correct order as they were on the CD. And, in the process of my importing the songs, the library scrambles the songs in different sections of the library (I explain further below)
    I don't know what you mean by "little triangle" pointing up or down. What's that got to do with the price of fish in China? lol
    When I get the music in the library the songs come out sorted this way: 2 songs from CD 1 appear one section of the library, then 1 song from CD 2 appears in the next column, along with the album work. Then, I go down farther, and there's a few more of the songs from CD 1 in the next section. I go down again, and maybe 2 or 3 songs are in that column. Along with the artwork for that CD. Then I scroll down again in the library, and there's maybe 3 or 4 songs from CD 1 there. Get the picture? It keeps sorting the songs in that order. And yes, the CDs I was importing were compliation dance CDs, along with some from the same artist, like Barry Manilow.
    I hope I answered the questions better so that you can help me Thanks in advance, Glenn

  • Importing AVIs into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 !!!

    Heres what Im trying to do: We have been working on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system for the past couple years and just got 2 new Matrox Axio LE NLEs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. We are trying to get all our old projects from the Velocity system onto our Matrox systems and not sacrifice any of the video quality. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is by compressing old projects to AVI format from the Velocity system and move them over to the Matrox using an external hard drive.
    I was actually able to bring in an AVI from the Velocity system onto the Matrox yesterday using the same Velocity settings below, except that I changed the aspect to 720 x 480 and the audio sample rate to 48,000. When playing the video on the timeline in Premiere the video looked great on my computer monitor but on my external NTSC monitor all motion in the video looked a little jerky as if frames are missing. I tried importing the test clip into both Matrox uncompressed 8-bit and uncompressed 10-bit projects and had the same resulting jerky looking video. Even after rendering the clip the video looked the same. Then I tried exporting the clip to mpeg using the Matrox media encoder but saw no change in the jerky movement. Here are my project and export setting for both systems.
    The AVI was made on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system. My project settings on the Velocity system are;
    29.97 drop frame
    720 x 486 24 Bit
    Interlaced field order B
    Sub pixel off Cropping off
    Audio:
    16 sample
    44 / samples / second
    2 channel
    Export settings are; (These are the settings I was trying the first time that didnt work. All I changed the second time was the aspect ratio to 720 x 480 and the audio sampling rate to 48.)
    AVI
    Frame rate 29.97
    720 x 486
    No Compression
    Color 24 Bits
    Field handling interlaced field order B
    Audio:
    16 sample
    Sampling rate 44
    2 channels stereo
    Do you recommend compressing the video coming out of Velocity?
    There are a couple other options other than No Compression in the export dialogue such as: Microsoft H.263 video codec, Microsoft H.261 video codec. I definitely want to maintain the highest quality possible.
    Matrox Axio LE project settings
    Editing mode: Matrox NTSC
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video
    Frame Size: 720 x 486
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1 / DV NTSC (0.9)
    Fields: Lower field first
    Display: Format 30fps Drop Frame Timecode
    Audio: Sample 48,000 Hz
    Display: Audio sample
    Video Rendering: Maximum bit depth is Unchecked
    Previews: File format Matrox uncompressed 8-bit NTSC (tried Matrox uncompressed 10-bit too.)
    I think the jerky video might be due to dropping frames but Im not sure.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    While it seems that the field order is consistent, I have seen issues where converting from clips that change field order creates this sort of problem. This is particularly obvious when converting from MJPEG codecs like Meridien or Miro/Pinnacle to DV.
    What happens if you just import the files into Premiere and let it do the rendering to the project settings?

  • Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 2

    I can drag a large high rez jpeg into timeline. Then when I click to playback....it gets more pixelated. That's a bad beginning. Then, when I go to export it, I've tried several extensions. All look bad during playback on YouTube. This should be pretty simple. High quality jpeg, but is fuzzy in movie. What's going wrong?

    hi Bill -
    ok fine. I have PSDs too. I tried what you said.
    I put a PSD right beside a JPEG in the timeline. I rendered it (which I
    didn't know to do because the instructions don't even mention it. The
    instructions are terrible. Seems it leaves out a lot of info.)
    So, then I click PLAY on my monitor. I see no difference between the PSD
    and the JPEG yet. So, if I want to put this on YouTube, what's the best way
    exactly, without gettting too technical?  It looks like I have the choice
    between Exporting in Mpeg or Quicktime or Windows Media. I think youtube
    likes wmv.

    When you drag the stills to the Timeline, there should be a red line
    above them. Press Enter to Render the Timeline.
     
    Do not know the particulars of PrE 2, but in later versions, you can
    Rt-click on the Program Monitor, and choose Magnification = 100%, rather
    than Fit. You might have to resize your Program Monitor, but check at 100%.
     
    Also remember a few points:
     
    1.) You are looking at a DVD-quality image now, and that was designed
    with low-rez CRT TV's in mind, and NOT hi-rez computer monitors. DVD vs
    hi-rez sources and displays is probably less than what VHS vs DVD was, not
    that long ago.
    2.) You are looking at an emulation, a preview
    3.) Your images have already been compressed to JPEG once, loosing
    quality. That is why I always work in PSD, especially if there has already
    been one JPEG compression, whether in camera, or in the image processing
    stage. I keep JPEG either out of my workflow, or as limited, as is
    possible. Some do not see the quality loss with JPEG compression, but I do,
    and if I can create images that are as good as it gets, I know that my
    clients will be happy.
     
    Good luck,

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • XDCAM HD workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Macbook Pro

    Hi folks,
    I have an assignment for a TV production to secure and convert the data (mxf files XDCAM HD 422 1080i 50 / 50 Mbit/sec with 8 audio channels) from Sony XDCAM camcorders (PDW-700) for postproduction.
    The producer wants me to convert the mxf files during production to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for faster and smooth editing during postproduction.
    I'm not sure about the final output yet, but I guess it will be either 720p50 or 1080i 25, since the production will be broadcast and as far as I know this is the standard for HD on German television. It is also not clear which NLE will be used for editing (usually one of the producers edits their projects with FCP, but this time they've got their hands full and are still looking for someone to outsource postproduction.
    Unfortunately, my Macbook is getting fixed as we speak, so I can't try things out.
    Since this is the first time I'm doing this workflow, could someone please check if I got everything right?
    1. Can someone please confirm that I can actually convert the mxf files using AME CC to Apple ProRes 422?
    Or do I need to install any other tools/converters for this task? Does MPEG streamclip do the job? Any other freeware?
    2. When converting to Apple ProRes422, the producer suggested to deinterlace the footage (1080i 50) to 25p, if 720p or 1080p I have to find out tomorrow since our conversation got interrupted this afternoon.
    In my opinion this doesn't make sense, though. First, if output to 1080i 25 it has to stay interlaced anyway. Second, in case the output will be 720p 50 I would edit the footage either natively or in Apple ProRes 422, but leave deinterlacing until the very end when outputting to the final format. This way I could use an advanced deinterlacer, e.g. the one from Magic Bullet Suite, rather than just checking some deinterlace box in the export settings for Apple ProRes 422.
    The reason the producer suggested to deinterlace right away when using  an intermediate like ProRes was that she and the client got irritated by the jagged lines from the interlaced footage when editing the last project with the same requirements on a progressive display.
    3. What would be the best solution to tackle this issue (jagged lines) during editing?
    As I said my Mac is getting fixed, so I have no way of trying things out,and I usually edit DSLR footage which is progressive anyway.
    But if I remember correctly I can switch my monitor between 1080p and 1080i. This should do the trick, shouldn't it?
    4. Can I keep all of the 8 audio tracks when converting to ProRes using AME CC ?
    5. Is ProRes422 (HQ) really necessary, or is the regular quality sufficient for this kind of job?
    6. Let's assume the whole project would be edited within Adobe Premiere Pro CC and  system specs as stated below:
    Since Adobe Premiere Pro CC has native support for  XDCAM HD is there any advantage of using an intermediate like ProRes at all?
    How smooth is native editing with XDCAM HD in Premiere Pro CC? I don't think there will be more than 3-4 video tracks in use...
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Jim! I knew there must be a reason xdcam is widely uses for eng aquistion :) I think they used FCP 6 or 7 on their last project... So what about monitoring interlaced footage on a progressive screen? Any advice on that? Is there a converter built in to APP CC that deinterlaces in realtime when monitoring interlaced sources on a progressive screen? And would you agree that deinterlacing source material is best left right before outputting?

  • Export multichannel mp4/h.264 with Adobe Premiere Pro CC

    Dear community,
    we currently test the Adobe Premiere Pro CC trial (German) on a Windows 7 Professional PC.
    However, we are not succentful in exporting a multichannel mp4/H.264 clip.
    We haven't found an answer on our issue so far, so I hope that this question was not answered several times before in this forum.
    If we chosse the H.264 exporter, we cannot select a multichannel audio export (only mono, stereo, 5.1).
    In contrary, if we select the Quicktime exporter, we are able to export our sequence with a 4 channel audio master with 4 mono tracks, but we can only export it with a DVCPro Codec in a mov container.
    If we try to select a HD H.264 preset we get an error alert stating that the preset contains a not compatible video codec.
    What are we doing wrong?
    Thanks for every suggestion.
    Thanks in advance
    André

    Thanks for your thoughts, Richard.
    Your are right, we currentky use the Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud version.
    We managed it to solve at least the error message. It was caused because Quicktime was not installed together with the Adobe Premiere Pro / AME setup on our computer.
    After we installed Quicktime 7 manually, we can select a Quicktime/H.264 preset without any problems within the exporter settings.
    However, the Quicktime/H.264 export dialog seems to only allow a mono or stereo audio export. No multichannel-audio export.
    This possibility is only displayed in Richards case, if we select the Quicktime exporter and an Uncompressed Video or DV preset.
    Our question to the Adobe developer guys is the reason behind this limition? Other video authoring prograns can export a mp4 with H.264 Codec with multichannel AAC without any problems.
    How can we do this with Adobe Premiere Pro (not necessarily via Quicktime)?

  • I couldn´t see imported videos with Adobe Premiere pro

    Hello:
    My name is Oren. I´m from Spain, and this is my problem.
    One month ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 850-31M. It has an x64 processor, 16 GB of RAM and I have 2 hard drives, the c: an SSD of 500 GB and other of 1 Tb hardisk, configured as D:. It has a GeForce GT 630M graphics card with 2 GB of RAM. W8 operating system.
    I wanted to try the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I downloaded the trial version. No problem, until I tried to import a video in the source window. Appears a small window that says "importing" and give to play in the source window and start .Audio be heard, but not the image. I've tried different video formats and always the same. The same video are seamlessly Quick Time and other video viewers ..... I do not know what to do, I think I've tried everything, even restart the computer to its factory settings and install Adobe Premiere vacuum and the problem remains. I tested with a trial of Premiere CS5.5 and got it. You hear the audio but no video . Insert the video in the timeline and recognizes it as such, even the first frame, but said, is not seeing in the "source", nor in the preview, only the audio.
    What could it be? Am I you could lend a hand I'm desperate?
    thank you very much

    Hello:
    I have the vídeos in a hard-disk. I'd tried in different video formats and

    FCP 10.1 DV capturing from camera breaking the scenes into unwanted clips by flashing a black screen on import window. But its fine and accurate with adobe premiere pro cc ?
    Any solution * Advance Thanks

    FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
    You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.
