Using new Adove Media Encoder with Premiere pro cs4

I have Premiere Pro Cs4 and Design&Web premium CS6 - which comes with Adobe Media Encoder cs6. Can I get Premiere Pro CS4 to use the new encoder (and hopefully speed up)?

I am on Window 7 32-bit that Premiere CS6 does not work. So I use CS4 for editing. For one specific project, I kept getting errors when using AME CS4 and it was extremely slow (8min of video estimated 20 hours). Someone said CS4 4.2 is really slow so I'd like to use AME CS6 to render project files from CS4. Tried that but got adobe dynamic link components error. I think it may be because I didn't include Premiere and After Effects when installing CS6.
Do you have success using AME CS6 on CS4 project file? Is it likely to make it work without installing CS6 one more time?
Thanks,

Adobe Media Encoder for Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

I currently have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these issues exporting before. My timeline is less than 3 minutes long, but it does deal with multiple big files. It rendered perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export it using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually only a few seconds in!) and then crashes, so that I have to force quit. I have tried exporting it as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried creating a new project entirely and whipping together a few titles and exporting that to see if it just won't export anything at all. The new project exported just fine, however, which I suppose is good news. But yeah, my work on that other project is very important to me and I reallllly want to export it. Please help!

Hi Jim! Thank you for your reply. I think you are right -- and that it lies in the audio somehow!
It turns out that if I choose to only export the video, and uncheck audio, it will export very well and smoothly. That's great news for me!
However, now I am trying to work out how to get the audio exported without issues. I actually had the idea of just playing the audio in the timeline and recording it via Stereo Mix, but my Windows 7 driver has Stereo Mix disabled, so it's back to square one. Any ideas of what I can do about the corrupted audio not exporting, which works fine when played in the timeline?

Use of a capture board in Premiere Pro CS4

For several years I have been using Premiere Pro 1.5 with a Canopus Storm 2 capture card and drivers. It has been working fine for me. Actually I have been doing event video for about twenty years and have gone through a lot of Premiere progams. I went from VHS to S-VHS and then into Mini DV. I don't think I will be going to HD. However, like life, we need to keep up with some of the changes. So I have been considering upgrading to Premiere Pro CS4. I was told that Canopus is no longer working with Adobe and that now it is Grass Valley and they have their own editing software. They no longer want to let the user of their products use Adobe products. If this is so, then what type of capture card is working with Premiere Pro CS4? And what is the cost for my changing my system? At least a ball park figure. I just had a new OS put into my video editing computer and right now everything is screwed up. The Adobe Premiere Pro and Canopus seem to be working okay, but I am not getting anything out from my computer to my editing monitor and sound mixer. I worked all week on it and to no avail. For years I did event video and put out some fantastic stuff, now I just want to do some informational videos and nothing is working right. I am open for suggestions.

Okay Harm, that is part of the problem. Since I put in a new OS I can't get my video editing to do right. Nothing is showing up on my studio monitor that is hooked to the Storm 2 card and nothing is coming in to my Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro line mixer that is connected to a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live card. I have done everything I can think of and nothing is coming out. I have everything hooked up just like it has been for the past five or six years. I downloaded all of my software - Previere Pro first and then Canopus and then Sound Blaster and the plug-ins seem to go in okay. What I am getting is a sound apperance on the Premiere sound screen and also a wave form on the timeline. In all apperance the Storm card and the Premiere are working, but nothing seems to be coming out. Also I am getting no sound out when I download music in Audition. I did before I replaced my Windows XP SP3 OS.
I didn't know that the Canopus Storm 2 had a conflict with PP 1.5. I guess I never experienced any trounble before.
I just now went into my Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and opened up a capture that I had downloaded into the timeline. Here is what happens. When I scrub the Capture monitor in PP everything works fine in the computer and the studio monitor and sound line mixer. But when I scrub the timeline I get no sound out, and nothing shows up on my studio monitor. It is almost like everything is reverse.

I have 64 bit windows 7 and CS4 Production Premium. I have a problem with Premiere Pro CS4, it keeps freezing and Crashing. A simple thing like leaving the project idle for about 15 minutes, you come back and find that it has frozen. Also if you drag out a clip on the timeline you will find that the whole application freezes. Any possible solutions would be much appreciated.

Graphics Card issues with Premiere Pro CS4

Hey there,
I've placed the screenshot of my problem at the bottom of this post.
I'm having lots of issues with premiere pro CS4 and editing videos since I upgraded to Windows 7. I have some .mpg and .MP4 videos. Both of which play fine in WMP, VLC, WinAmp, VirtualDJ etc. But when I load them into PPRO CS4, as you can see in the screenshot they go green and pink. And they don't move. I.e you see one still image and hear only audio.
Now a fix I have found for this is to uninstall my graphics card. But this is no way an option to edit videos, as the resoultion goes from 1920 x 1080 to 1024 x 768.
I should add that I am runnig the following system:
Dell Vostro 1000 Latpop
Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit
2.00Ghz AMD Sempron Processor
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon XPress 1150 Graphics card
I have the latest graphics card drivers installed. I am just wondering what the problem is, and a potential fix. Would be great to hear any advice,
Regards,
Adam.

OK, here are some other things to think about:
ATI/AMD Catalyst seems to have an issue with one of the latest versions, maybe rollback to an earlier version.
Depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration (though this usually affect smoothness of playback) in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Advanced.
Check your OpenGL settings.
In Catalyst, turn OFF any GPU Acceleration
That's about all that I can think of for now, and those are shots in the dark.
Good luck,

What's a good HD camera to use with Premiere Pro CS4

I've used Premiere Pro CS4 for a while now and most of the time I don't have any problems, but recently, I've been buying HD cameras, shooting some AVCHD and then having a hell of a time getting them to play nice with Premiere Pro (or WMindows Media Player... or Quicktime... or anything but their crappy bundled software that won't let me edit or anything). My girlfriend says I should give up and buy a Mac and use FCP, but I like Premiere Pro. I'm about to take another camera back to Best Buy and I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for the easiest camera to use with Premiere Pro.
In case you're wondering, I've bought a Canon Vixia HF10 and a Samsung HMX-H100 so far and both had every issue I can think of from codec incompatibility to aspect ratios changing to A/V sync being lost to all-out-I-don't-know-WTF-just-happend-errors. I just want a camera that's going to give me a file I can drop straight into Premiere.

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

QTFC Issues with Premiere Pro CS4?

Hello there.
So recently, I have been having issues with my adobe programs. I have the Master Collection CS4 and when I launch programs like After Effects, it tells me the following.
"QuickTime functions will be disabled because a compatible version of QuickTime could not be found"
and here's my real issue. When I go to launch Premiere Pro CS4, I get the following error.
"Adobe Premiere Pro.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic library link QTCF.dll"
I click OK and it pops up again, then premiere launches. How do I get rid of this error? I have tried reinstalling Master Collection and Quicktime but that didn't help.
I cannot afford to reformat computer as I'm very busy and need my programs to work.
Thankyou for your time and support.
-Matthew.

To answer your question. I had the same problem that you had. I was using Quicktime 7. So I downgraded by downloading Quicktime 6.4
Here's a link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120297
So I installed QT 6.4, and the error message is no longer there. But there is another issue, I try to import or find a file that is a .mov and it says File format not supported. Which is weird because you get that if you don't have quicktime installed. That may be an entirely different problem. But hope this at least helps you answer your question.

Rendering 10x slower with media encoder than Premiere pro direct export

We use CS5 (have been using Adobe since 2004). I open a sequence (edited in Premiere with no fancy effect - just open title & closing title - length 4 minutes). It is HDV so nothing special or out of the ordinary.
If I render the sequence by going to FILE => EXPORT => MEDIA and export this way it will take approx 1 minute to render the file.
If I close Premiere and open Media Encoder and import the same sequence and render with exactly the same settings, it will take 10 or 11 minutes to render.
I have tried most obvious areas such as closing all other programs and only opening media encoder, as well as making sure the RAM allocation is the same for media encoder, but nothing seems to make Media Encoder render at the same speed.
It doesn't matter what the video format is on input or export ... media encoder is always so much slower.
Why does Media Encoder take so much longer to render?

Hello Jeff,
thank you very much for the speedy response! I am very impressed
Your reply pointed me in the correct direction. In my case I had ticked Maximum Render which made the encoding 10x slower. The deinterlacing doesn't affect the speed much on our set up.
Anyhow, I unticked the Maximum Render Quality and it is now at full speed again. Lovely!
Thank you for your time.

Exporting to Media Encoder crashes Premiere Pro CC 2014

Greetings,
I am experiencing a problem with premiere off and on. Right now it is an on problem. When I am exporting from Premiere Pro CC (and CC 2014) it will intermittently crash Premiere. I have tried this with several different audio and video formats (AVI [Lagarith and uncompressed], WAV, H.264, MPG2, AAC, etc). At the moment, every time I go to export to queue it locks up and hangs on the "Preparing data for export..." Media Encoder Launches and then it just freezes. I get "Problem Even Name: AppHangB1" over and over. Sometimes a full restart will fix this temporarily and sometimes it goes away for a long while. I managed to get a few sequences exported and then it just kept freezing on every PP CC restart.
Here are my system specs:
Premiere Pro CC (up to date)
Win 7 64bit (up to date)
i7 970
24GB Ram
NVIDIA 470GTX (driver up to date)
3 x 1.5TB internal
4TB internal
3TB internal
12TB RAID 5 via USB 3.0
USB 2.0 and 3.0 drives
FireWire audio device (M-AUDIO FireWire1814)... although, I am not using it for playback. It is connected.
Footage is from C100 H.264 .MTS, H.264.mov from 7D, and H.264 .MOV from iPhone.
All stock video plugins with a few third party audio plugs.
This problem happens with and without third party plugs, but it happens that this project uses them.
I have chatted with Adobe help twice about the matter and nothing has come of it. Log out, log in = same. Restart = same (sometimes), create new user account = same, and so on. The only thing I haven't done is completely re-install premiere, which seems a bit overkill. One of the reps said he would get back to me in a few days after he watched the issue via screen share. Never heard back.
I get the sense that this has something to do with PProHeadless.exe not launching or not running properly. When the crash happens on a fresh restart of PP CC 2014 PProHeadless is not running. I can start PProHeadless and it will send sequence to media encoder. When I try to export another sequence from the same project it crashes and I see another instance of PProHeadless launched.
Also, once the projects are exported to Media Encoder, I can encode them to any format with no problem. The problem is getting the sequences there!
Is there anything that I am overlooking here?
Thanks for the help!

Hi
Premiere pro cc 2014 8.0.1 (21) build
Encoder CC 2014 8.0.1.48
I use CC for Teams so it updates all the time.
Again when I tried to use it today by letting premiere open it by sending an output into Queue it crashed both Encoder and Premiere.
In order to shut down Encoder and Premiere I had to go into Task Manager and "End Process Tree" on everything adobe I could find because just ending Encoder did not work it would not close. I remembered that years ago when Premiere would crash we had to end a photoshop process. I found photoshop open even though it was not "alive" on my task bar. I had used it yesterday but had closed it. I also had to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 as well as one of the three Adobe CDF Helper.exe*32. They popped back on but Encode closed and then I got a message that Premiere needed to close and did when I clicked the button to let it close.
After all this I re-opened Encoder by itself and checked the Preferences finding that Import Sequences Natively option was again checked.
By the way for me, "Launch AME manually, then drag the sequence from PPro's Project panel to AME's Queue (or to a preset in the Preset Browser). That uses a different code path than the File>Export>Media workflow." won't work most of the time because I do live events of panel interviews that may run 2 or more hours. I need to break them down to chapters for the web
Also I know this isn't part of this problem but I and many others would still love dynamiclink to work to Encore because the DVD is not dead yet. The current work path is a drag.
Looks like some programers and engineers have some work to do.
Thanks
Dennis

I will pay for help, Media Encoder and Premiere Pro C4 won't work together

I know someone has two easy answers...help, help.
Big Problem one, exporting from Premiere C4, forced into using Media Encoder, which sit there and won't encode from the project/timeline.
The project is even small, 7 minutes, and I just want to me a AVI file and maybe Flash and Media Player. Is that too much to ask.
Then the versioncue.dll, decide to not let me right click in explorer and other links, get a windows error, and again, stuck with nothing.
Please, I will send someone a gift card if they can help me, really. $25-$50...depending on if you have the solutions.

Stan, that's correct, however, it's a new computer now. And yes, I want to
export to avi from the premiere time line.
One thing that is weird, I can add to Media Encoder only finished encoded
files, say to send to a client in a media player
or flash format, and all works well. It's only the Premiere C4 project
export????
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

New NVIDIA Driver issue with Premiere pro

Laptop
Windows 7 pro x64
Intel Core i7 2.7ghz
16 gig ram
NVIDIA GTX675MX driver version 314.07 2013.2.18
Hello, I had to update the driver due to premiere stating I had an outdated driver. After installation everything seemed fine however today when I opened premiere my source and preview windows showed black, no video. My edits and source files were all still there. Sound from my clips played but no video. I have Mercury playback set to hardware. When I switch it to software the video images return. Has anyone else had an issue with this driver in Premiere pro and did you find a solution? I did a search and this seems to be an issue with drivers. Hope they fix it in the next update. Thanks.

Thank you everyone, I just figured it out. For some reason in my NVIDIA Control panel-Manage 3d settings-Global settings Preferred Graphics processor drop down was set to Auto-Select. I switched it to the NVIDIA card and everything seems back to normal. Phew!
Harm, I used your system configuration guide to set up my system. That really helped take the confusion out of proper system configuration. Thank you for writing that.

Laptop editing with Premiere Pro CS4: what are the most important specs

Laptop Editing: What are the MOST important specs?
Hello everybody, I have been a long time lurker, but I decided to join in and share my voice.
I've been editing, for a while now, various projects of various lenghts shot on my HV20, on an IMac using Adobe Premiere Pro. Actually, I bought the CS4 Extended Production Suite last year thinking that it made sense to be able to edit, do the coloring and effects+ sound all within the same suite.
AND, it came with OnLocation, wich is, I think, a fantastic tool. I really want to be able to record and monitor my future shoots using OnLocation. I've seen how useful monitors and scopes are on set, and the idea of being able to shoot in HD and actually checking the focus on something larger than a few inches is very appealling!
So a laptop is in my future. Now, what are the most important specs?
I could buy 1) a barely used Macbook pro early 08- 17" HD led display ,4g Ram ddr2 ,nvidia 8600M GT 512 VRAM ,800Mhz BUS, 200G 7200HD
and have enough money left to buy an Apple Display 30" refurb
OR 2) a new Macbook pro 17, 4 g Ram ddr3, 512 VRAm, 4g Ram ddr3, double procsessors 9400M+9600M GT 512 VRAM, 1066 BUS, 500G 7200HD
and wait for a second display!
Plus, of course, a portable External Scratch Drive on the Express Card. Now, if that fast drive is handling the footage, could'nt I settle for a 5400HD in the laptop,, they seem much less prone to problems-clicking noise, heat-than the 7200, especially in the new unibody model. Is 800 versus 1066 BUS a terrible trade-off? In terms of secondary displays , I've heard less than lukewarm things about the new Apple 24 LED (glossy is no-no for me).
My intentions are to make documentaries and short fictions as well. I make a living as an actor so I don't need to be performing as a director/editor business wise!
I do want to explore that side of the craft, in a professional and enjoyable way though. I know that, in addition to the laptop, I will get a MacPro in a few years.
Thanks a lot for the inputs!

Successful video editing (as compared to tear your hair out video editing) requires at least two hard drives... one for all software and one for all data... some people use 3 drives, with data on one and scratch files on the 3rd drive
I'm not sure about software, but everything I've ever read in this forum says 5400 is NOT fast enough for the data drive
If you want to edit video... you have to buy the hardware that works
