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.

How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't support MKV formats. To import MKV to Premiere Pro CS6, a recommended solution is to convert MKV to AVI.
I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert MKV to AVI. Finally, I summarised three solutions:
First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app. It supports nearly any videos including MKV format and has Mac version and Windows version.
Cons:
1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;
2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.
Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting MKV to AVI. I just test one of them. It's professional yet easy to use and the service is excellent. And there is a step by step guide about how to use this tool .
Cons:
1. Most of them are not free.
Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.
Cons:
1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;
2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

Issue with importing H.264 files into Premiere Pro CS6

I have some AVI files that will not import into Premiere Pro CS6 (not trial version). The Gspot utility says they are H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format and that the codec is installed. I can see and play the files in Bridge but when I try to import it says “Unsupported format or damaged file”. I tried importing in CS5.5 and the file imported, however only the audio plays. Why is this happening and how can I import these files?

Premiere does not support H.264 in an avi.
You need to convert first.
See post 3: Can't get PPro to accept video file.

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.

Importing Photoshop files into premiere pro CS6 issues

Hi
I recently re-installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my work computer (i changed from a HDD to an SSD). Ever since I did this I am having an issue importing .PSD files into Premiere.
I try and import a photoshop file. The importer window comes up. The progress bar starts to move, then pauses and the Importer says 'Not Responding'. After a few seconds it comes back and throws up the following error:
Error message - 'The importer reported a generic error'
All projects i previously worked on that had .PSD files in them are now reporting these files as 'Media Offline' meaning I have to replace them with .PNG files which is really annoying.
Any ideas what might be happening? The files I am trying to import are RGB .PSD's. They worked previously without any issues.
I have Premiere Pro Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587))
running on a Windows 7 machine with Service Pack 1, 64 bit OS, 16GB Ram and Intel Core i7-2600
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

Can't import Final Cut XML file into Premiere Pro CS4 MAC

Hello, I'm traying to import FCP Studio 2 XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4for the purpose of then color correcting the project in Adobe After Effects.
I followed all the rules of exporting XML files from my Final Cut Studio 2 timeline, then closed FCP, opened Adobe Premiere CS4 and when I go to Import option XML file is greyed out. I can't select the XML file...
Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you so much

I'll just say that the high end AE users list I frequent suggests that the more common workflow is to bring AE to FCP for color correction. Isn't that one of FCP's strengths?
Also, to the extent that you want to process an FCP project in AE, look for the best way to bring it directly, not through Premiere. Ask in the AE forum what opinions people have. Mac and PC types use AE, but my impression is that only a small proportion of those users use Premiere.

Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

Getting Error Message when importing iTunes Music to iMovie 6?

Am I missing something? I used to be able to import my iTunes music to a movie creation in iMovie 6. I'm now getting an error message "Error during import. The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
I have moved my music to an external drive - don't know if that made a difference.
Thanks

Interesting...I have moved my iTunes music onto the external drive probably six months ago. That music still works off the external via iTunes. I just looked in iTunes and my preferences are showing my local drive to store music. And recent music that I have purchased (last few months) is showing in the local drive. When I picked one of the songs from the local it works.
So now I guess the question is what will happen if I move the music from the local to the external and reset the preferences in iTunes. It should work right?

Importing Arri DNG raw files into Premiere Pro CC

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi MarkU,
What are you having trouble with? I assume you mean ARRI Raw. Check out this video, perhaps it will help you:
If you mean Cinema DNG, support for that is coming in the next release.

Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC

Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC. But I can into After Effects CC.
I also can't export to DNxHD files to an MXF file either.
I do have latest Quicktime Pro installed and I also have Avid Media Composer and the other pieces of the Avid package.
Conflict?

I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges. What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator"). I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator". Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
Anyone else have some ideas?

Can't import Photoshop files into Premiere Pro

I am learning Premiere Pro CS6 and I am using a book titled "Classroom in a Book". One of the exercises is to import a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro. I received a generic error message "The importer reported a generic error". I found that if I run Premiere Pro as an Administrator that the issue goes away. I wasn't too worried about it until I realized that my ShuttleXpress does not function when I am running Premiere Pro as an Administrator. Does anyone have any idea what is going on???? This is very frustrating.

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
NKC

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.
