Premiere CS4 - File Linking Problems

For some reason Premiere is mixing up my imported After Effects CS4 files. For example, while Im working it will suddenly associate my After Effects file named "SceneA" with the file named "SceneB". If I try importing "SceneB" again it brings in "SceneA" instead. It will do this with several of my files and switch everything up. Im only working with 4 After Effects files and am scared I'll have 20 or so files and it will start mixing those up, which will be a disaster.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I import several files straight into after effects for editing (multi tga, jpeg, psd, etc), then import the AE file straight in PrPro for ading text and organizing. To work around the problem I had to put each AE file into different folders to keep PrPrp from mixing them up. Never had this problem with CS3, but doesnt sound like anyone else is experiencing this, which leads me to believe its something with my computer, I dont know.
I am running windows XP and have a second operating system (also windows XP) installed. Had to work around a virus that took over my computer. Could this be a contributing factor I wonder? Would delete the 2nd operating system but it wont, so cant test that theory.

CS4 Dynamic Link Problem

Is anybody having trouble keeping the source files linked in After Effects after using dynamic link from Premiere?
Please refer to this link:
cwrig, "CS4 Dynamic Link Problem" #1, 26 Oct 2008 1:02 pm
This is very frustrating.
Thanks for your time!

Did some more tests and here is what does and doesn't work for me.
Losing footage -
Yes I was having the issue (and the topic is in the premiere forum also)
Here is what seems to solve it.
It loses the footage if I use the original folder which has spaces in the name. Not sure if that is the culprit but both methods proved consistent in every test I did.
it worked when I used a new folder called "Test" at the root of my editing drive.
Crashing-
Not sure if other have the issue but when I close AE, PPro will just sit there with an hour glass and show as not responding.
If I close PPro first and then AE and reopen PPro then all seems to work as it is supposed to.
This was also consistent in every test I did.

Premiere CS4 files won't reopen after being hung up

Although I'm relatively new at Premiere, it seems strange that twice with 2 different Premiere CS4 files, I get files I cannot reoppen after I export them using the Media Encoder. My i-mac is new and has 8 gig of ram and the processor is a 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
So here I am stuck with 2 incomplete Premiere files that I can't do additional editing to because they won't open - they start to open quickly but hang up just before the progress bar is complete and remains that way before I force quit 5 minutes or so later. It seems that Encore has hung things up and I can't risk loosing files I spend hours on.
Any help appreciated

Hello all,
The first thing I tried worked. This was opening an older Premiere file and importing the Premiere file that wouldn't open.
What happened originally was when I exported the Premiere file (Media Encoder), I immediatedly saved the Premiere file after it finished exporting - it was during this saving process that it became hung up/frozen and wouldn't reopen. This time when I exported, I saved it before I exported and immediately quit when the exporting was done. It reopened without a problem.
Thanks for your help - appreciate it

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

Premiere CS4 capture tool problem

Hello there,
I am experiencing a weird problem with Premiere CS4. I am not able to capture DV footage from my Sony DSR-PDX10P. When I open the Capture window (F5), it's working very slowly compared to anything else with the software. If I have the camera connected through firewire, it most often crashes. It does recognize the camera and if it doesn't crash, it states "stopped" but fails to show the footage when I run it. Preview screen stays black. A few times I have managed to get a record command through, whichafter Pr states "recording" but the counter stays at 00:00:00:00 and afterwards gives me "No frames were recorded" or a similar message. Anything I do within the Capture window happens like 5-10 seconds after I've given a command.
I know the problem isn't firewire-related, because OnLocation CS4 works like it should. DV footage from the camera can be watched and recorded without a problem. And the .avi files recorded in OnLocation open up in Premiere nicely. Otherwise Premiere is working just fine.
Possibly the strangest thing is that less than 2 weeks ago I used the capture function with the same camera without any problems. The only thing in my setup that has changed since was the installation of Microsoft Silverlight (which sucks but I needed to watch a video that required it - stupid move though). I have tried uninstalling it and opening a restore point before it was installed - without an effect.
I know I CAN still record footage through OnLocation, so this is not lifethreatning. I'd still prefer Premiere and of course would like to know what the hell is wrong with the capture tool. Or whatever the cause may be.
(Btw, another problem I have, more of a sidenote here but if someone would have an idea, has to do with AE CS4's RAM preview - it works once just fine, then crashes. Haven't had any problems with that before and it also worked like it should a few weeks back. Wonder if these two problems (AE and Pr) could be strangely connected? I've tried different settings (with and without OpenGL, Prevent DLL Address Space Fragmentation and different CPU/RAM level combinations) without effect - and again, with the settings I had it did work a few weeks ago)
I've started a thread once before with a CS4 problem so if need be, you can check my (unchanged) hardware data here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2488816#2488816
I'm eager to hear if someone would have an idea. Thanks!

AME WON'T LOAD PREMIERE CS4 FILES

Probably been answered somewhere ... but, I'm playing beat the clock (who isn't?) ... and gotta find a solution or work-around, and FAST.
PREMIERE CS4 WON'T EXPORT TO ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER.
It goes through the motions; but never actually loads the elements to render. It just hangs after you tell it to "Start Queue." "Loading (project name)" just sits there, and I eventually get a "non responsive program" notice.
I'm running 4.0.2.002.
My usual work-around is to take the project into AE and render there ... but, this is a multi-camera project and they don't enport to AE.
HELP!!!

Welcome to the forums
gotta find a solution or work-around, and FAST
Then you need to call Adobe Tech Support and get it sorted out in real time.
Otherwise try these troubleshooting tips.

I have no trouble using any other features of the program..
Can anybody help me to fix it?

Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
Same problems.
Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

Bridge CS5 using CS4 files cache problem

If I use Bridge CS4 on a directory and subsequently open the same directory with Bridge CS5, Bridge insistes on rebuilding thumbnails and previews (as indicated on the bottom status line). If I subsequently reopen the directory in Bridge CS4, it again rebuilds thumbs and previews - however only thumbs seem to be rebuilt. The Preferences in both versions of Bridge are "identical". The bridge cache files are maintained in the image directories.
The cache construction seems to be quite fast (faster than anticipated) - I am not sure what, if anything, is being rebuilt.
Is this an expected operation?
This presents some difficulties in that I have 530,000 images (7 terabytes) on Bridge CS4 and the reconstruction of the files would literally take weeks to rebuild.

as there supposed to be seperate programs and independant of one another this is surprising 'not'
I have been onto adobe thru there support link regarding bridge issues and they
advise to uninstall bridge cs4 using there ceanscript.
well its a fiddly tool and no mention of just removing bridge cS4 it wants to remove cS4EXT too,
which i'm not readt to remove, plugins etc......
anyway, cant help, but there was a bridge CS5 patch released yesterday.
i have noticed that some of issues no longer seem to occur
so it may be wise to download it as it didnt auto download.
also i have seen the same issue you state so your not alone.
not sure whether the patch addresses the issue as ive only had it updated a few hours

CS4 File Printing Problem

After recently experiencing a transient power outage I am having a problem printing a particular file from Photoshop CS4. The system seems to have recovered well from the electrical outage, with one exception. When I try to print a particualr file that I had been working on, I get the foillowing message.
The Vista-64 operating system recognizes the installed printers (two), my other apps have no problem printing to the default printer and opening a few other Photoshop files does not produce the same problem. In other words, the problem seems file specific. The question is how do I remedy the problem with this important file ? Duplicating its many layers in a new file does not solve the problem.

Have you tried the standard Tech response "have you rebooted the computer since you made changes"?
When you open up the PS print window does it list the correct printer?
Yes, I have rebooted and everyting else on the computer is happy with the printer setup. I've also reset PS preferences. It seems to be a file problem.
No PS print window opens- After the error mesage window is dismissed I am back in editing mode for the file.
I think I am going to have to create a new document and drag all the layers from the subject file into the new file and hope that clears up the problem. As I mentioned, selecting all the layers and using the Duplicate Layers command to a new file did not solve the problem.
Paulo
PS - update: I Created a new file, dragged all the layers from the problem file to the new file and the printing problem disappeared. Do not understand it, but when dealing with a probably corrupted file understanding is a stretch.

Premiere CS4 - Audio sync problems, Encoding Problems

Hi,
I've been using Premiere CS3 for encoding 20-25 minute videos to deploy on a Flash Media Streaming server.
Today I upgraded to CS4 and everything that I render to FLV/FV4, H264 or Quicktime format has serious audio sync problems when I use AAC as the audio codec. Unfortunately for me, AAC is the codec that I need to use for the streaming server. The audio is synchronized to begin with, but it gets progressively unsynched as the video progresses.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using bitrates of 256 kbps, 512kbps for the video and 24 kbps / 32 kbps for the audio.
Another thing that I've noticed is that many of the options that I used when encoding videos are no longer available!! For instance, I cannot generate hinting tracks for Quicktime, and most of the audio frequencies are gone for Quicktime as well.
What a disappointment:(
-Chris

Seems to be an on going issue with no response from Adobe. Have the same issue with the audio running ahead of the video. (Cool if this was an old Japanese monster video).
Running CS4 PP & AME all updates are current. Nvida Quardro CX (current drivers 4.20.006) used several formats (Elemental h.264 to MPEG-2) same issue.
PC Intel Xeon CPU 3.20GHz 16GB RAM – Prof Win XP x64 Ser Pack 2
Any help from Adobe would be appreciated.

CS4 file merging problem

Hi Everyone,
I hope somebody can help me with this one.
I have 2 sites each with it's own root folder, each was started as it's own site using it's own the selected root folder.
The 2 sites share the same template, with the same spry assets, menu bar etc...
2 problems,
First, Somehow the files are "merging" in DW on me, so that when I make a change on one template it changes the template in the other root folder for the other separately designated site.
Both sets of files were stored on my desktop, so I copied one set of files to my documents and in doing so it changed some things around, which leads to my second problem(s)
One template lost the banner, footer, and side bar images that I had inserted (not a big deal to restore)
The other template in the other root folder lost the code for the spry tabbed panel that I had inserted and I'm not sure how to get that back in.
Can somebody please help me with this?
Thanks
Mike

Mike
As a guess, it could be that you are working in both sites at the same time, and DW has a hard time with that. If you are going to work on site A, then in your Files Panel, it must be Site A listed in the drop down box. Other wise you may be saving a file for Site A in Site B, and from there the calamity just exculates.
But that is just a guess.

Premiere CS4 und Vista Probleme mit Zuspieler JVC?

Was früher lief, läuft nicht mehr. Mit meinem neuen PC und erstmals CS4 installiert zunächst mal 1 Problem:
1. Mein JVC Recorder HR-DVS1, der bisher über firewire als Zuspieler und auch als Aufnahmegerät benutzt wurde wird von CS4 nicht angesprochen. (Av/C treiber fehlen, sind bisher noch nie gebraucht worden).
Hat jemand einen Rat?
mfg

Genauere Überprüfung hat ergeben, dass die Aufnahmefunktion wohl funzt, aber das Rückspielen aufs Band geht nicht. Scheinbar kommt kein Video/Audiosignal über firewire an den Recorder. Hab das ganze mit meiner Canon xm-2 ausprobiert, gleicher Effekt.
Danke

Illustrator CS4 file save problem

Recently, when I try to save an Illustrator file to a server or locally, instead of replacing the file, it shows this dialog and creates a duplicate with a "1" appended. Any ideas?

Ah, thank you! I never thought of that since I only have 1 artboard.
But I saved again under a different name and made sure it was unchecked. It worked!
