Premiere Pro CS4 - editing video from GoPro video camera

I am having a problem trying to edit video from the GoPro camera in Premiere Pro CS4 (PP). Have not been able to get much help from GoPro - they just tell me to speak with Adobe. I think the video codec used by the camera is MJPEG (?). It won't play at all on the timeline. Interestingly it will in After Effects (AE) CS4 and if I export it out of AE as a Microsoft AVI file I can then play it in PP. However if I go straight to Media Encoder and import the clip and then try export the clip via ME as a Microsoft AVI the exported clip from ME won't play in Premiere Pro. I am confused. Does anyone know this camera, it's codec and why it just won't work when directly imported into Premiere Pro but it will when imported directly into After Effects. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Please see a post I made this morning under my screen name BruceERoberts .... details below
I just purchase Adobe Premiere Pro a few days ago - and subsequently updated it to Ver 4.2.1.  A started a new project - I tried to import some video footage I just shot with a GOPro Hemet Cam while skiing at our local mountain.  I can easlily see the clip using Real Media Player - or the Quick Time player.  It is a 10.9 MB ... 7 second MPEG-4 movie clip.  File name is "gopro0030.mp4"
I created a "bin" called video .... then right clicked to import the file.  You can see the file name in the media browser.  But the file would not import.  I received this error message:  "109C ImporterProcessServer.exe  Application Error.  The instruction at "0x05efcac" referenced memory at "0x00000014".  The memory could not be read. CLick OK to terminate."
This is very frustrating - I just purchased the software - and it won't import a 7 second video clip!  It did import still fotos with no problem.  What can I do?
thank you for your attention to this.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 over remote desktop does not play sequence

    Hi all,
    I have been researching this issue over the internet but I have found absolutely no references to it:
    I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my high-resource PC but would like to work from a different room so I am remoting form my laptop to my "good" PC.
    The system lets me do everything I could normally do when working directly on the main PC with the exception of playing back my edited files (before rendering). This is an obvious handicap since I can not watch my edited sequence and am, therefore, working in the blind. I am able to step through it frame by frame, but when I click the play button, it changes to a pause symbol (as usual) but nothing is shown in the video window. This does not just happen when previewing my edited sequence but also when previewing any imported resource.
    Essentially, Premiere Pro CS4 is not playing any video content over a Remote Desktop.
    Other normal playback software (such as VLC, Windows Media Player etc...) works though, so it is not an issue of no video playback at all. This just happens when I'm using Premiere Pro.
    Any suggestions as to what this may be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to edit a full 1080p HD video in Premiere Pro CS5 remotely using HPs RGS (Remote Graphics Software).  I had a Workstation at work with Premiere Pro installed on it and all the source footage on it.  I was then able to log on remotely from home with my old weak-sauce desktop and successfully edit and play back the HD footage remotely.  You just do a google search for HP RGS or go to this link. http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
    There is a free trial available too. I don't know why there is not more information about RGS on the web, but it seems to me to be the only solution to work on Premiere or After Effects remotely.
    I hope this helps

  • Premiere Pro CS4 question on how to integrate into my website

    I have a simple question...
    I used Premiere Pro CS4 to create an Avi video.
    And now I need to integrate it within Dreamweaver CS4 to upload it to my website.
    I never did it, so I don't have any idea on how to do it.
    Could someone send me a tutorial or website with explanations.
    Thank you,
    MAthieu

    Mathieu,
    I can't answer for Premiere but if you have Encore you can use your avi file and export as flash flv file.
    Encore includes menu templates for use with your flash file and varying sizes of flash export dimensions
    depending upon how large you wish your final file and view to be.
    Creates a folder with everything for you including index.html file and all you have to do is transfer the folder
    to your website directory and hyperlink. Voila!
    Sorry I can't point to any specific tutorials at the moment.

  • Kodak videos lag in Premiere Pro CS4 timeline

    Hey all,
    Apperently there's a bug in Adobe Premiere Pro which makes it difficult to edit videos that were captured in a Kodak camera.
    This issue was discussed here before, but even after reading all threads in the subject I could not solve the problem.
    I've been trying to convert these files (.mov) to many other formats and codecs with no success.
    After a while I got to find this crappy software that claims to specialize in converting Kodak's video files (iOrgSoft Video Converter).  Between many tries of various softwares that was the only one that did  it right. But the software isn't free. The trail version leaves a  watermark on the each video.

    I'm looking for another way to convert this file correctly so it will work well in Premiere.
    Does anyone have any idea about this?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Moshe.

    Hi,
    If CS5 handles this right than I  guess that's about it.
    Thanks again for both of you.
    This is CS3...with the mainconcept plug in trial ....as mentioned earlier...your original source loaded GREAT into the project...and plays great...etc....
    The plug in trial gives that logo thing and has a limit of 5min video I think....although I've exported stuff with this and the logo was NOT on the final export...or was much smaller .....dont know if that would influence you on trying the plug in...
    But what I mean to say is with cs3 it works great with the original file you supplied as a sample...
    ( I used this in another thread here where someone was trying to get timecode to run backwards...which is why you see that timecode thing...)
    good luck with everything !  

  • How to use Premiere Pro CS4 and AE together to stabilize a shaky video.

    Hello,
    I know where to find and apply the stabilization tool in AE CS4, problem is I don't really understand compositions. I have a very very basic understanding of AE in general, more so the workflow and what some of the buttons here and there do.
    Maybe this will be easier to answer.
    I have my raw footage in Premiere Pro Cs4 right now, before I edit it I want to stabilize it. How to a connect PP and AE?
    Will AE change the quality of my video? I need to keep it HD. I'm in a professional setting.
    I do I take the stabilized video from AE and put it back into PP for further editing?
    And finally, maybe this is redundant, but do I have to export out of AE or can I put the edited work back into PP for the rendering (exporting) process?
    I can clarify on anything you need if I'm not making sense.
    Thanks in advance for you the help!
    -Mark

    The "Working with After Effects and Premiere Pro" page gives an overview of the ways to move data back and forth between Premiere Pro and After Effects, and it also includes links to a few basic video tutorials on the subject.
    It sounds like you need to learn the basics of After Effects first. I suggest starting on this page.

  • 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.

  • Video Transitions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 contains/includes very few useful video transitions for my work. There were many very useful, sophicticated and great third party plugins for video transitions for earlier versions of Premiere (i.e. Premiere 6.5), but most of these no longer work with Premiere Pro CS4. Adobe kept changing the plugin architecture so that third party plugins for earlier versions of Premiere would stop working with newer versions of Premiere.
    What third party plugins are available for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 that will provide sophisticated, fancy and useful video transitions? What third party plugins are available for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 that will provide sophisticated, fancy and useful video effects filters? Most third party plugins that I am aware of only work with Adobe After Effects CS4, but I would like to find those that will work with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
    Unless there are some very good third party plugins available for Adobe Premier Pro CS4, I am about ready to uninstall CS4 and reinstall Premiere 6.5 and the third party plugins I had for it and work with those.
    Thank you for any information you can provide!

    Richard,
    Welcome to the forum.
    The term "useful" can mean different things to different people.
    Here are some of the 3rd party Transition plug-ins, that will work (in their current versions) in CS4:
    Pixelan SpiceMaster
    ProDAD Adorage
    NewblueFX
    HollywoodFX used to work, with a bit of file renaming, but I think that Pinnacle has dropped that line of Transitions
    Good luck,

  • Urgent friends ,, video playback problem in adobe premiere pro cs4

    i have installed pro cs4 , i converted a mov video file as wmv file and imported in the procs4,,,, the problem is when i play the video in the time line (ie.in  the editing pane ) to edit the video,,,, its getting stuck.... the video is abt 40 sec, but after 2o sec its getting stucked and play..... what is the problem friends pls help me....

    Smooth playback can depend on many factors.
    First, converting to WMV is not the best choice, as WMV's are heavily compressed, and require more "horsepower" to decode and work with. If your material is SD, say 720 x 480 for NTSC, the DV-AVI would be a better choice there.
    Rendering the Timeline, if one has red lines above the Clip(s) in the Timeline, will get playback, as smooth, as is possible.
    One's computer can have a big, big impact on how well one can playback the Timeline. Can you list the complete computer's specs.?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos export process extremely slow!

    Hello,
    I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos, and until recently, it’s been working smoothly. The last few times I’ve tried to export, the process has been extremely slow—for example, yesterday the program told me it was going to take 22 hours to export a 527MB video.
    My computer has an i7 processor and a decent video card (Radeon HD 7470) so I don’t think that’s the issue, but I can’t see it being the software since I had been successfully exporting videos until recently.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated—thanks!

  • Video Filter missing:  AE.ADBE Fast Blur - Premiere Pro CS4 mac

    Hi, I own the master collection package of the cs4 products for Mac, and I'm having this problem when trying to open a project made on premiere pro 1,5 (win). All files, effects and tittles where imported perfectly on my Mac after opening and saving the project on win premiere cs3. The only problem is the fast blur plugin. I get this error when opening the project on premiere cs4. I need to have the fast blur plugin working because I don't want to re-create the whole transitions of this 1 hr length project.
    I tried copying the Fast_Blur.plugin from after effects and pasting it on my premiere pro plug-ins folder (/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Plug-ins) but with no luck, apparently premiere ignores it. Also tried to copy it to /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Common but this gave me several errors and the application not launching.
    What can I do to use this plugin in premiere cs4 Mac?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Placed the afx cs4 Fast_Blur.plugin on /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.app/Contents/Frameworks/MediaCoreUI.framework/Fast_Blur.pluginand nothing... ignored as when placing it on Plug-Ins folder...
    Where is this mediacore folder on win?
    Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that the Mac CS4 afx "Fast_Blur.plugin" isn't comptible with the Mac CS4 Premiere.
    I don't own a CS3 mac version... does anyone knows if it has the fast blur? I could try to use that file...

  • Cannot import .mov video files into Premiere Pro CS4

    Hi Everyone,
    I have Premiere Pro CS4 and cannot import .mov files into my project.  When I try Premiere freezes up and has to be closed.  I'm running Windows 7 and have a Gateway DX4300-11 with a Quad-Core AMD processor with 8 Gigs of ram although the Adobe CS4 programs only seem to recognize 4 Gigs at startup.  How do I get Premiere to import .mov files?
    TR

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.

  • Canon 7D MOV files = horrible editing in Premiere Pro CS4?

    Hi All,
    I just got Premiere Pro CS4 in the mail today.  I was so excited to start cutting up my Canon 7D MOV files but it seems the MOV files play horribly in Premiere. 
    I looked around a little on the forum and found some others feel the same way (as well as the 5D users). 
    Surely I won't have to use quicktime to preview my videos.  The previewer in Premiere can barely play the files. 
    So, what is everybody doing these days to get a smoother work flow?
    I don't want to have to do a lot of pre-editing (didn't Adobe think of this before claiming it's compatible with Canon 7D/5D files?)
    Also, when starting a NEW SEQUENCE, what PRESETS should I use?  I record in 60fps.  So AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic?? (what a long name!)

  • Transferring from Canon Vixia M40 to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?

    I cannot figure this out. I'm trying to transfer files from the built in memory on my Canon HF M40 to my MAC. I am trying to import it into Adobe Premiere CS4 and it's just not happening...it imports into iMovie just fine, but I don't want to use that program, anyone have any ideas?

    I'm sorry.
    Well I have my camera hooked via USB to my Macbook. When I turn on my camera with iMovie open, it automatically has an import window pop up with  the option to import the clips into iMovie, which is not what I would like to do. I would like to import (what I believe to be MTS video files) from my Canon Vixia to my computer or directly into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I have no error messages. My old Canon Powershot camera imported using iPhoto, but I guess this video camera is different since it is HD video files. I don't know what other information to give?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.

    I have administrator rights to the computer. The drivers are up to date. But I am still getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"  when opening Premier Pro CS5.5. This appears to have happed after I upgraded to Mac OS 10.10.2.
    Anyone?
    Thanks

    Hi Stan.
    I had the same problem as you did though I am using Adobe CC.  I saw nobody replied to you so perhaps my eventual success on my later version may have applications to the error on your version. 
    Anyhow, I did all the suggestions found here (Error "Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules" | Startup )  first and updated my NVidea card to no avail.  Eventually what did the trick was this...
    After mucking about with the video card, I said "OK lets just have a go at Premiere itself." So I uninstalled Premiere CC and reinstalled it.  Now for some reason it didn't give me the latest patch but a slightly earlier version than the current one but lo and behold it was fine with the video card again.  I was able to get my friend's video imported and quickly edited but then was having some issues with exporting where it would hang up but I went into Adobe Media Encoder and exported it there without a care.  That task out of the way, I then went and made the update to the latest patch and it works perfectly fine - no video driver issues.
    So short of it is this - if you've updated your drivers, perhaps what you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere.
    Let me know if this works.
