AME won't load up Sony XDCAM-EX footage.

I did a multicam shoot on many cameras including the Sony F3 which uses the XDCAM-EX codec. I need to re-export in a low res H.264 to do some offline editing since i have so many cameras to work with. I tried to drop it in from the windows explorer and it said it's not a supported format. I then tried to que them from Premiere (which loads up fine inside Premiere) and all I get is the red offline image. I didn't record in 4:4:4 since I didn't have a Gemini on set. Do I need to download a codec for AME to be able to read it or am I missing something?

Hi Dan,
Could you send us your source via a private message? I can provide an ftp site if it's too large for something like dropbox.
Disabling Native Sequence import in AME will probably solve this problem for you:
- AME -> Preferences -> General -> Uncheck "Import Sequences Natively" checkbox.

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

Then you need to call Adobe Tech Support and get it sorted out in real time.
Otherwise try these troubleshooting tips.

AE, PR, EN, and AME won't load after upgrade to Windows 8 Pro

I was running CS6 on Window 7 Home Premium. I upgraded my system to Windows 8 Pro and those 4 programs hang when trying to load. For AE it hangs at Initialize MediaCore, PR and AME hang at ExporterAVI.prm, and EN hangs once the application launches. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS6, I'm uninstall Magic Bullet, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. I've also given the program permission through the firewall as listed in the help guide from Adobe. Can anyone assist?

I'd 'refresh(charm->change pc settings->general)' or 'remove and reinstall' windows 8 if I were you, since upgrading to w8 from w7 made a lots of errors and BSOD(driver-related) for me. You have to install programs again even if you choose refresh. Sooner or later you'll face some errors... or not.

Combining SD footage with Sony EX 1080p footage

Hey All -
I have FCP 7 -I have SD footage I ripped from a DVD (640x480)
I have Sony XDcam EX footage that was shot at 1920x1080p (23.97)
The Codec that the EX footage was converted to is Apple XDcam EX 1080p24 (35mb)
I have MPEG Steamclip or After Effects CS4 to convert the SD footage
I need to edit the SD footage in the XDcam footage timeline.
What are my options?? I know when you mix footage you usually have to render the footage.
Any work arounds for my situation?
thanks
Matt

Hey Shane
Actually I havent had any problem playing the footage in a XDcam timeline -BUT I will take your advice into consideration
The final product is going back to DVD and compressed for the web -
I know this would be compressing the SD footage more but right now it doesnt matter. I was thinking of converting the DVD footage to QT -take that QT mov and make a 1920x1080 in After effects and put the SD footage inside of that and render that out so it will match the EX footage -that way I wont have to render in FCP.
I know the client is going to want to use some of the SD footage --I just wanted to make it as easy as possible for me when the client is sitting there editing it with me

XDCAM plug-in won't load on my Computer.

Sony XDCAM won't load on my computer. I get as far as which drive do I want to put it on, and I get yellow exclamation Points on all the drives. And it says in the box below that I have to have FCP version 6.03 installed. I am currently running version 7 and my operating system if OSX -10.8.3. Has anyone run into this problem.
Any help would be appreciated. I have a TV show that needs to get to the network and I need the latest plug-in to give them the right format.
Thanks.....

Do you have the XDCam codecs on your computer?
Try this - select the sequences in the FCP Browser
go to the menu File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion
and the when the destination pane opens click on the format options button.
In the pane that opens under Video choose click on settings
and then set the compression type to select a flavor of XDCam?
And export.

AME freezes on "Loading..." and PPro locks up

I have a project that uses H.264 quicktime video as source. I'm replacing the audio and exporting the same format but keep running into situations where AME won't render anything.
Everything is fine in PPro CS4 (latest updates) but when I try to render, the AME window pops up, I click "Start Queue" and ... nothing - the progress bar shows "Loading..." but never does anything else. I can stop it and the AME is still functional but PPro is frozen.
This has been happening for a while and, in the past, I was able to get around it by deleting the media cache files (major time-consumer, by the way). But that doesn't always work and I can't figure out how to get a consistent workflow that doesn't require me to manually remove files, wait for PPro to regenerate its media cache files, try to render again, watch AME sit there and do nothing. Lather rinse repeat...
I can't figure out what it is that is causing it to hang up sometimes - sometimes I can delete the media cache once and it works. Sometimes I have to let it fail multiple times. (Side note: why should the code be so buggy that you have to manually delete the media cache, anyway?)
Any help on this one?
Thanks,

Probably best to start at the beginning. Let's look at the system first, and this ARTICLE will give you tips on the info that would be very useful.

P6N SLI Platinum Won't Load Vista or XP

I trying to load an OS on a new build, but have run into an issue. The build went well, but the OS won't load.
While trying to load Vista (32bit) it says "Loading Operating System" and the progress bar goes all the way to the end but then never gets any further. It just sits there.
So, not being familiar with Vistas load I thought I would tried XP Home SP2. With this I am at least able to partition the drives and choose quick format but once it gets to 20% this too freezes.
So far I have gone into BIOS and chosen to load both safe defaults and optimized defaults, which makes no difference. I have also tried removing one or the other of the memory sticks, again no help.
Here is the system particulars.....

Regarding Dual Channel Mode:
Am I reading the manual wrong? In the illustration it shows 4 DIMMS, the closest to the CPU being DIMM1, followed by DIMM3 (which are yellow), then DIMM2 and lastly DIMM4 (which are orange), and it states that in order to take advantage of dual channel to place the memory in DIMMS 1 & 2 and/or DIMMS 3 & 4
Sorry. I did not realize MSI relabeled the DIMMs. You are right of course.
[CPU] - DIMM1 - DIMM23 - DIMM32 - DIMM4
[CPU] - SLOT1 - SLOT2 - SLOT3 - SLOT4

Premiere pro cs6 won't load AVCHD video files

why won't premiere pro cs6 load video files?
Premiere pro application loads but won't load HD video files.

What codec packs do you have loaded? With a straight installation I have had any problems loading my Sony AVCHD 1920 x 1080 files in any version of Premiere. What is your source of your media?

Specific set of XDCam EX720p50 footage won't play in Premiere (or After Effects)

Hi There
I've been given a media drive full of past projects and media by a client, which contains (among other things) .mov files which Quicktime Player Movie Inspector tells me are XDCam EX720p50 35Mb/s VBR 1280x720, 16 bit integer (little-endian), Stereo 48Khz. The sound plays fine, but the video shows only a red screen with occasional digital-dropout-like square flicking across the screen.
This PC system is newly installed and running OK, and footage of the same type (given the same credentials by Quicktime Player) from a different client plays fine in Premiere
(Quicktime player will open both sets of files and give you the info, but sends you to the extra-codec page)
So my conclusion is there's a problem with the set of files that won't play (rather than the system)
And my question is....
WHAT CAN I DO? Can anyone give me some advice on how I might get these files working? They have been edited before in a previous version of Premiere by another editor, without issue so they should work...
All help appreciated
Thanks

(Premiere CS5.5, Win 7 64bit, core i7 2600K at 4.8Ghz, 16Gb RAM, GeFore GTX 570)

I have a similar problem. A friend sent me the .mov files he recordedin the XDCAM 16x9 1920x1080 . I can't import them into my Win7 Premiere Pro. Codec Missing or unavailable. Lots of people seem to have the same proble id using a PC - particularly when they have been sent the .mov files on a hard drive. The folder
I can play the videos using VLC but not on WindowsMedia or DivX (sound only) or with QuickTime ( won't load - needs new software from Adobe plugins)
If this is a codec problem why can VLC play it?
I have checked out the files with MediaInfo and they are slightly different to the above. Are there ary rules to determing the value of the parameter for the bat file for my mov file. I think this looks like stereo but you will recognise the information you would need. I tried the current bat but that has another audio file map.

Sony XDCAM Viewer

Is there a version of Sony XDCAM viewer that will work with a an iMac G5?

Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
Happy Holidays.

Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:

If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Tried to install OSX Mavericks now MBP won't load

Hi all
Last night I tried to install OSX Mavericks on my MBP mid-2010 running Mountain Lion. It downloaded fine and then seemed to install fine. When the message came up saying it was going to restart automatically the spinning wheel hanged, which was the first problem. I switched off the MBP and turned it on again. It now refuses to boot up and stays on the Apple bootup screen with the spinning wheel.
I've tried to restart in recovery mode but this doesn't seem to work. It just goes back to the spinning wheel and there is no progress bar that pops up to indicate the recovery data is being downloaded from the net (I don't have a recovery partition).
I have a backup external hard drive that I can use to restore my MBP and then try upgrading again, but I can't use that until I get into recovery mode.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks

Ok so I worked out how to get into recovery mode. Turns out I was doing it wrong! I used an external USB drive to access recovery mode.
I ran disk utility which identified and fixed some errors on the HD. I thought this might solve the problem but when I restarted the same problem occurred. I then restored my time machine backup which thankfully worked.
I tried installing mavericks again! Upon restarting and completing the install, I got the message 'OSX has been installed. Your computer will now restart'. After the countdown had finished I got the beach ball which span eternally again, just like last time. After about 10 mins I did a hard reset and again OSX won't load.
Lame...
