Adobe Premiere Pro Cutting out avi files

I have adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 When I add in my avi files it doesn't show the entire file. I import a 7min 36 second file that is 3.74 GBs and a date rate of 69219kbps. But once it imports it is 27 seconds.I know it would be possibal for me to convert the file but it is an HD file and there are going to be bigger files. I can't change what the video records in and it is WAY to much of a hassle to convert them (I make hundreds of videos and can't take the time to convert all of them multible times) When I open it in VLC, Adobe Bridge, Windows Media player, ect... It plays the file just fine but Adobe Premiere Pro won't read the file completely. Please Help

Premiere Pro 1.5 AVI Files Not Recognized in CS4

The AVI files were captured using
Adobe Premiere 1.5 from a Canon XH-A1 camcorder. The same AVI files work
fine in Pinnacle Studio 14 as well as Adobe Premiere 1.5.

You found the key for me. The codec turned out to be Cineform Visually Perfect (right clicko on the file, "properties").
I found Cineform. I found a CVP "viewer" file at http://estore.cineform.com/neoplayer.aspx and installed it. Now PR CS5 reads those files just fine. Problem solved.
Thank you very much for your clear perception of the issue.

In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
Video:
The file is 2:21:29 in length.
720x480
Data rate 1489kbps
Total bitrate 1617kbps
29 frames/second
Audio:
Bit rate 128kbps
Channels 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate 48 kHz
The file is about 1.6Gb
This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
Suggestions?!

Post in the Premiere Pro forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

Adobe Premiere Elements 4-import avi-files

I have started a new Adobe PrE 4-project and am about to import four 3GB-avifiles (each file contains 35 minutes film). But the Adobeporgram imports only 15 minutes (exactly 15 minutes) from each avifile. This is the first time I meet this problem. What can be the matter?

Hm-m, maybe they "heard" that you were tracking down solutions on how to Import and edit them, and they "came around."
Whatever happened, it sounds like you are up and editing.
If you experience any issues, please post the full details of those files.
One thing that can cause somewhat similar issues, is if one begins editing, while the Conforming and Indexing (MPEG files mainly), is still going on. Upon Import, let the Conforming complete 100%, before you do anything else. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Good luck,

Adobe Premiere Pro to Quicktime - iPod Video

I have a question about going from a video editing system such as Adobe Premiere Pro - to Quicktime. I have been exporting my Premiere Pro videos to AVI files and then opening them in
Quicktime and exporting them to iPod compatible video. Is there a way to go right from Premiere Pro to Quicktime? Cause right now, I have to do an extra step - export the AVI and then export that AVI to Quicktime MP4 iPod compatible video.
This method takes an awful long time - even for a 20 minute clip of video. Any suggestions? If I can't go directly from Adobe Premiere to MP4 - is there a smaller file I can export to first so that when I export that file to MP4 it will render quicker then an uncompressed AVI file?
Thanks!
Foochuck

It depends on how connected Premiere is with QuickTime. In most apps that can export QuickTime, when you install QuickTime 7, a new QuickTime option (export to ipod essentially) becomes available. However, there ARE apps that use QuickTime directly and would have to be altered to allow access to new modes.
After you get your uncompressed .AVI, if you're using QuickTime Pro's iPod export, it's creating an H.264 file of high quality and that WILL take a VERY long time. I would like to see a comparison chart of encoding times so anyone could tell how long an encode is likely to take, but I don't think one exists.
There ARE tools out there that use the older H.263 codec, and as such are much faster (and there are some that may even be faster at H.264 compression) but they're not as easy to use. You can do a search in the iPod forums here to find one that's right for you.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

Importing AVIs into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 !!!

Heres what Im trying to do: We have been working on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system for the past couple years and just got 2 new Matrox Axio LE NLEs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. We are trying to get all our old projects from the Velocity system onto our Matrox systems and not sacrifice any of the video quality. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is by compressing old projects to AVI format from the Velocity system and move them over to the Matrox using an external hard drive.
I was actually able to bring in an AVI from the Velocity system onto the Matrox yesterday using the same Velocity settings below, except that I changed the aspect to 720 x 480 and the audio sample rate to 48,000. When playing the video on the timeline in Premiere the video looked great on my computer monitor but on my external NTSC monitor all motion in the video looked a little jerky as if frames are missing. I tried importing the test clip into both Matrox uncompressed 8-bit and uncompressed 10-bit projects and had the same resulting jerky looking video. Even after rendering the clip the video looked the same. Then I tried exporting the clip to mpeg using the Matrox media encoder but saw no change in the jerky movement. Here are my project and export setting for both systems.
The AVI was made on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system. My project settings on the Velocity system are;
29.97 drop frame
720 x 486 24 Bit
Interlaced field order B
Sub pixel off Cropping off
Audio:
16 sample
44 / samples / second
2 channel
Export settings are; (These are the settings I was trying the first time that didnt work. All I changed the second time was the aspect ratio to 720 x 480 and the audio sampling rate to 48.)
AVI
Frame rate 29.97
720 x 486
No Compression
Color 24 Bits
Field handling interlaced field order B
Audio:
16 sample
Sampling rate 44
2 channels stereo
Do you recommend compressing the video coming out of Velocity?
There are a couple other options other than No Compression in the export dialogue such as: Microsoft H.263 video codec, Microsoft H.261 video codec. I definitely want to maintain the highest quality possible.
Matrox Axio LE project settings
Editing mode: Matrox NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video
Frame Size: 720 x 486
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1 / DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: Lower field first
Display: Format 30fps Drop Frame Timecode
Audio: Sample 48,000 Hz
Display: Audio sample
Video Rendering: Maximum bit depth is Unchecked
Previews: File format Matrox uncompressed 8-bit NTSC (tried Matrox uncompressed 10-bit too.)
I think the jerky video might be due to dropping frames but Im not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

While it seems that the field order is consistent, I have seen issues where converting from clips that change field order creates this sort of problem. This is particularly obvious when converting from MJPEG codecs like Meridien or Miro/Pinnacle to DV.
What happens if you just import the files into Premiere and let it do the rendering to the project settings?

What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project. The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video. I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program? Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail. I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
-MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
-Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output? It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
-Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI. This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
Aaron.

Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there! Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro. Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two. I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
Aaron.

Adobe premiere pro 1.5.1 -working on m2t files

I use adobe premiere pro 1.5 for editing. Recently I installed plug-in to edit HDV. So now its version adobe premiere pro 1.5.1
I am converting m2t files using HDLink to AVI and importing them to pro 1.5.1
Everything is fine on the source monitor. However, when I edit a sequence on timeline and render it, its a black video.
What could be the problem and how to fix it? Thanks!

Now Jim, I don't chide you THAT much...
I do agree about populating the "toolbox" with the necessary tools for the job. That might mean convertion programs, utilities and even other NLE's. At the end of the day, it is about "getting the job out of the door." Now, one may like Snap-On, or Craftsman, or MAC (the tools, not the computer/OS), and knowing the various options is good. Some want only freeware solutions, or something that is already on their systems, while others think nothing of spending 100's of $'s for a tool.
The more choices open to a poster, to solve the problem at hand, the better, IMHO.
For most of my conversions, I use a particular program. It is not freeware, but works for me in 99% of my instances. Still, it would not be the first choice of someone looking for a freeware solution.
It is also nice when a program does everything one wants from it, with everything that they throw at it. Unfortunately, we live in the real world, so workarounds, with other software, will likely come into play - whether with WMM, PE (in my case), or others. I think that the forum regulars do a good job of offering the posters those options, and would not want to see it any other way.
Keep up the good work everyone!

Can you transfer files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 from a Mac computer to a PC that also has Adobe

I am looking into buying Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for my iMac computer, because the guy that I am going to help out is in another state, using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on his PC, we will both be editing video to be featured on the Pursuit channel. My question is will we be able to open up each other's video files, seeing that I am on a iMac and he is on a PC if we are both using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5? Right now I am using Final Cut Pro X, and he can't read my files, the codecs won't work he says. Please help this is driving me crazy

Yes, project files are cross-platform. There are a few caveats, described here:

Help converting files from vob to use in Adobe Premiere Pro

Help... I just recently purchased the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to use to edit some videos that I shot with the Sony DCR-DVD505. The files save as a vob file and I cannot get them to import into Adobe Premiere. I have tried several different conversion programs - but when I open them up into Adobe I have video and no sound. I have tried converting to mpg and to avi. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am ready to send the Adobe software back for a refund. I am extremely green at editing and this has been very frustrating.

I would not return Adobe, I would return the camera, it is not suited for editing. If you insist on editing that material and end up with pretty crappy results, play it out from a DVD player into a good tape based DV video camera thru analog in and pass it thru to firewire for capture.
To put it another way, when maximum achievable fidelity of video is 100, your camera is at 10% due to the heavy MPEG compression. You need to convert that to DV and you are left with around 8% due to DV compression, you then need to encode it again to MPEG and you end up with less than 1% out of a possible 100.

Final Cut Pro 7 keyboard shortcuts for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for Windows

Attached is the file that contains the Final Cut Pro 7 keyboard shortcut set for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for Windows.
This file was mistakenly left out of the Premiere Pro CS5 installer, so people who tried to switch to this keyboard shortcut set were unable to do so.
Unzip the file and then install the .kys file by copying it here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Keyboard Shortcuts\en_US
(where C:\ may be replaced by the a different volume if you installed somewhere other than the C drive, and en_US may be replaced by another locale ID)
This file was included in the Premiere Pro CS5.5 installer, so manually installing this file is only necessary for Premiere Pro CS5.
For information about keyboard shortcuts, including how to customize them, see this page:
"Keyboard shortcuts"

By the way, Mac users don't need to update this file, it's for Windows users only.

Can I import I-life files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?

Okay, so not exactly an Apple question, but there are so many smart, helpful people on here, and the Adobe forum doesn' t seem very active.
I recently got Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (the movie editing software). I tried to import files from I-photo, but those folders wouldn't even open. Tried to import files from the movie folder, which were in .mpg format, but got a message that it is an incompatible format.
Those were just simple movie files taken with a small digital camera. Does anyone know how I could use this footage in Adobe Pro? I have access to other Adobe software as well, perhaps there is a way to convert the files? If I try to import something to Adobe from I-movie, should that work? Or from I-DVD? Also, is it possible, with Adobe or regular Mac software, to import regular DVD footage (that is not in form of a computer file, but just something that plays in your DVD player) or perhaps convert it into a computer file? I have some old VHS footage that was copied onto a DVD and would like to edit it, or at least have it on my computer as a file.
Also, if I can't use those files, are there any places on the internet where one can download some simple footage to try out in Adobe? I'm new to it, so I'm just trying to get some files together so I can try out how it works.
Lastly, if anyone knows of a good online tutorual for CS4. It's an older version, and on the Adobe site they only have tutorials for the newer one.
Thanks!

This is a forum. None of the users here -at least not to my knowledge - are Adobe professional
Ninety-nine point nine percent correct. We are blessed with a few Adobe employees here, unlike some fora, but those folk are probably at NAB right now. Also, they are in other departments, so would have to walk "down the hall," or make a call, just as we would.
When it gets to issues on licensing, installation, etc., we're pretty much at a loss. Most of us have never encountered such issues, and only know what we have read in others' threads, when they have bothered to report back. Even then, that is third-hand info.
Last time that I had an Adobe installation issue was AI 3, IIRC. My upgrade version did not have the old database of S/N's. Mine was 00-000-003, and things had changed drastically. One call to Adobe, and a total time of about 5 mins. (including hold time), and I was given a number to plug in, and then everything installed perfectly. That was in about 1989, so is not quite contemporary. Still, that is the last and only first-person account that I can offer. Most here have zero personal experiences, as they came to the party later, and have just not had any such issues.
We'd love to help, but just do not have the experience.
Good luck,
