Import MPG files in Premiere CS4. Mac Os X 10.6.

I installed the latest update Adobe Premiere (4.1). When I try to import MPG files Premiere shows error: "File video dimensions (width / height) too large". After that, such a message is issued when importing any video at all, until the closing of the program. Sometimes after the error the program hangs on exit and has to kill the process manually. Can I somehow fix the problem?
Thank you!

By using material suitable for editing. PR likes MS DV AVI type2 with PCM/WAV audio at 48 KHz, stereo. If you don't have that material, convert first. Use Google to find converters.

Cannot import .MOV files with Premiere Elements 12: generic error. Using Windows 8.1 (64b)

This question was already on the forum for older version of Premiere and Windows. I'm making my videos (.MOV format) with the digital camera Casio EX-ZR400.
I have no any problems with Photoshop Elements 12 for pictures produced by this camera.

Dngineer
What is the source of your .mov file..(brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video)......what is the video and audio compression and frame rate?
Are you working with the 12.1 Update of 12? If not, please do so using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. Both QuickTime and Premiere Elements need to be run from a User Account with Administrative Privileges. Are you doing that?
Narrowing things down
Are all files with the .mov file extensions the only video files that you cannot import into the program? Any exceptions?
When you open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to the Expert workspace and go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, does that choice have its presets?
Let us start here and decide what next based on your reply.
Thank you.

WEBUTIL problems importing a file with the HOST command.

We are investigating a problem where the users are trying to import a file in from the webserver to be used by the application. The users have successfully moved the file from their local PC to the application server. But, when we perform a HOST command to have the form moved to the UNIX directory, the form hangs. The very last statement of the .BAT file used in the HOST command does the move of the file. And, we can see the entire file in the UNIX directory, we just don't get return back to the form.
I added displays before and after the HOST command in the form. I see the display before the command but don't receive anything after. The weird thing is this is only happening in our development server. The same issue is not happening in production. Also, if I run the form in client server mode, it works fine also. So, it has to be something on the development application server.
If anyone has any advice, I would appreciate their help.
Thanks.

On the server (assuming Windows since you mention a batch file), locate the Oracle Process Manager Service (for mid tier) on the MS Services Console. Open the properties for this service and click on the "Log on" tab. Check the box labeled "Allow service to interact with desktop".
That said, if you are executing a batch file on the Windows server to transfer another file to a Unix machine, the above likely won't work either. This is because Windows will not allow a service permission to access network resources (for security purposes). In this case, rather than the above, you will need to change the same setting so a real domain user and not the "Local System" account.

Problem importing VOB files using Premiere Pro CC

Something must have changed between CS6 & CC as far as importing VOB files from non-DRM DVDs.
When I import the VOB files from a DVD using CS6, the import seems to go fine.
But when I import the VOB files from the same DVD using CC, the video info Frame Size and Aspect Ratio of the last VOB files comes in "wrong" when it should be the same as all of the other files.
It always seems to be the last file and it always seems to be off by the same amount.
I can Interpret Footage back to the same aspect ratio as the rest of the VOB files, but I cannot seem to fix the incorrect framesize.
I am using Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.1(4).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try this instead.

Problem import csv file with SQL*loader and control file

I have a *csv file looking like this:
E0100070;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;75
E0100075;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;500;2003-06-16;01C;67

E0100455;EKKJ 2X4/4 1 KV;500;2003-06-16;01C;47,1
I want to import this csv file to this table:
create table artikel (artnr varchar2(10), namn varchar2(25), fp_storlek number, datum date, mtrlid varchar2(5), pris number);
My controlfile looks like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'e:\test.csv'
INSERT
INTO TABLE ARTIKEL
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ARTNR, NAMN, FP_STORLEK char "to_number(:fp_storlek,'99999')", DATUM date 'yyyy-mm-dd', MTRLID, pris char "to_number(:pris,'999999D99')")
I cant get sql*loader to import the last column(pris) as I want. It ignore my decimal point which in this case is "," and not "." maybe this is the problem. If the decimal point is the problem how can I get oracle to recognize "," as a decimal point??
the result from the import now, is that a decimal number (37,2) becomes 372 in the table

Set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS environment variable at OS level, before running SqlLoader :
$ cat test.csv

Problem importing text file with null value

I used the following codes to import a text file and it
worked perfectly.
However, it skipped the TAB (chr(9)) on the imported row when
there is no data (empty string) in one of the columns.
Can someone help? thanks!
sample text file data:
00001 desc1 12.00
00002 25.00
00003 desc2 15.00
Code that I used:
<cffile action="read" file="#FilePath#"
variable="data">
<cfset newLine = chr(13) & chr(10)>
<cfset tabChar = chr(9)>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#data#" index="row"
delimiters="#newLine#">
<cfset cols = listToArray(row, tabChar)>
ID = #cols[1]#
desc = #cols[2]#
price = #cols[3]# <br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

There is no perfect way to handle this with out you writing
more complicated code.
A good compromise is to replace this line:
<cfset cols = listToArray(row, tabChar)>
with this:
<cfset cols = listToArray (Replace (row, tabChar &
tabChar, tabChar & "{empty}" & tabChar, "ALL"),
tabChar)>

Contour HD1080 Files Jerky Premiere CS4

My system is a Dell m1330, core 2 duo 2.4GH, 4 gigs ram, Vista 32bit
Ok I am a bit new to these new file formats. I am trying to edit some footage from my Contour HD 1080 on Premiere CS4 and it plays really jerky and freezes at points. I do not have any of those POS codec packs installed. the only thing I have installed is Coreavc Pro. Coreavc was the only way I could get the files to play correctly in Media Player Classic (which plays them just fine now so I know its not a hardware speed thing). I tried to install Quicktime and that was not even able to play the Contour MOV files correctly, because of this I removed Quicktime from my computer. I have tried to rename them to MP4 and use them in Premiere and it has the same effect.
Has anyone out there been able to play and edit these Cont HD MOV files with Premiere CS4. I would love to hear of a workflow so I can stop wasting time and get down to business.I would like to avoid installing Quicktime on my system if I can, I would love to be able to use CoreAVC with premiere (becuase it seems like the only thing that works with these ridiculous files), and I don't wont to have to convert hours of footage before it will work in Premiere if I have to.
This is what Premiere says the file is:
Type: QuickTime File

Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 24

Video:
There are 9087 frames with a duration of 1/29.97th.
Video track 1:
Duration is 0:05:03:06
Average frame rate is 29.98 fps
Video track 1 contains 1 type(s) of video data:
Video data block #1:

Audio:
Audio track 1 contains 1 type(s) of audio data:
Audio data block #1:

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file.
I can get the file to import if I first right click the file and tell it to "open in source monitor" then tell it to import.
When I do this it indexes the file. After it is done indexing is when I can then import the file.
Should I not just be able to tell it to import and it does the indexing?
These files that I am tryig to open were with Premiere Pro 4.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the specs. of this MPEG file? Might be something in those, that is causing an issue.
Good luck,

What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4?

What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4? Or are there to many to list? I'm looking for a solution to import a .AVI file created with a H.264 codec.

PrPro can work with so very many, but certainly not all. Some, like DivX will work for Export, but I have never gotten good Import of that material - always something wrong somewhere.
For H.264, there are three very popular versions: Apple, Lead and MainConcept. The Apple version installs with later versions of QT Player, the other two are available, and many users like them better. They solve some H.264 problems, mainly with Export.
For a bit of background, you might find this ARTICLE useful.

Problems importing AE files

Has anyone had this problem before? ...
I'm simply trying to import a number of different After Effects (CS4) files into Premiere (CS4 as well) - and when I highlight all 19 files and drag & drop...rather than importing all 19 files, it imports one single file 19 times. I've tried importing them one at a time and, for example, when I try to import "1.aep" it imports "19.aep" instead. I can't figure out why in the world this is happening...have tried restarting, have tried importing via Dynamic Link, have tried starting a new Premiere Project...no luck.
Please help!

I had the same problem, it's probably a bug in the file importing routines of premiere.
it has only effect on AE files.
The solution is to name your AE project beginning with a number :
1text.aep, 2text.aep, 3 text.aep, ...............
This way premiere can distinguish the projects.
This is not a proper solution but it works.
Good luck,

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt
