Artifacts on effects and export with Premiere Pro CC

Premiere Pro CC is producing video artifacts whenever I add in effects or transitions. Also appears in exports. I don't know if it's due to the codecs I'm using or low bit rates, but I've never had this problem till I moved from a PC to Mac.

Emily -
Are you using a new Mac Pro? Have you seen this thread, by chance? Your image looks very similar to what the rest of us have seen. If so, the current supported solution is to disable hardware acceleration for MPE until Apple officially releases OS X 10.9.4. An unsupported solution is to sign up for Apple's beta program, and install the 10.9.4 beta.

How do I fix yellow spots on face and background with Premiere Pro/After Effects CS4?

Hi,
I have the CS4 version of pretty much all Adobe products. I have to color correct and edit a video that was shot during a seminar inside a conference room with an average digital camera. The camera zoomed in a lot on the subject when he was talking. So, it's not the best quality video and I'm trying to make it look as nice as possible. I've done some general color correcting and it looks okay, but there are a number of yellow spots on the subject and in the background, mainly on brownish surfaces (the speaker is African American). This probably appeared because of the low picture quality and zoom, but how can I fix it? When I do the general color correction, the spots just change color, but don't disappear. I played around with different things, but couldn't fix it. Is there a way to do this with Premiere Pro or After Effects? Or would it be very complicated? Or not possible at all? The camera zooms in and out a few times, too, so would that pose a problem for correcting this?
Thanks for any info!

It can be done in After Effects.

Help: Clips rendered in AE turn blue when changing clip speed and exporting in Premiere Pro

Hi
I've been having this problem in Premiere Pro CS5 (I'm just not sure with CS4 & ealier versions).. ok the problem is that in Premiere Pro CS5 when I change the speed of a clip that is rendered in After Effects and export it either in AVI or in MOV, it produces some blue flicker on that clip or sometimes the entire clip turns blue..This only happens when I am using Quicktime Animation codec in AE..I can't find any forum that discusses this problem..And I don't know if others are also experiencing this (except for my friend who is also experiencing this in MacOSX)..by the way my version of Premiere Pro is 5.0.3 and my After Effects is 10.0.2.4 (Windows 7 x64)..I don't know know if this is a bug in PrPro or AE, or if Adobe is aware of this problem..
Here's a video of what I am consulting to you guys for you to better understand what I'm saying.. (sorry, no audio)
P.S. CS5.5 users please tell me if you also experience this..
Thanks in advance!

This only happens when I am using Quicktime Animation codec in AE
So don't do that. It's probably not the best choice for video, anyway. I mean it says right in the name - "animation". There's a reason for that.
On a Windows machine, Lagarith and UT are two free lossless codecs that play well within the Adobe suite. Give them a try.
Or better yet, don't render out of AE at all. Use Dynamic Linking instead.

Closed Captions don't appear when I play my video exported with Premiere Pro CC

So, I've spent some time researching this, but can't seem to get anywhere. I'm fairly new to Premiere Pro and I've created a sequence with closed captions. I've tried exporting several different ways (Quicktime, H264, etc.). I've also been careful to include a sidecar closed caption file or to embed the closed captions within the video when exporting using Quicktime. I've also been sure that both files (the movie and the scc file) are in the same place. I've tried playing different versions of the exported video on Quicktime Player and VLC, but have had no luck getting the closed captions to appear. In Quicktime player I've tried it with the closed captions activated, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. In VLC I've tried the Advanced Open option which enables you to select the subtitles file you want to load with the movie. Once again, no luck. I've tried dragging and dropping the .scc file onto the movie while it plays. I've tried selecting a Subtitle track using the video drop-down menu. Once again, no luck. I've tried exporting from Premiere Pro with the sidecar file as a .mcc file and that didn't work either. I even tried converting the .scc file to an .srt file via some online app.
Anyway, I'm stumped. All I want to do is to get my movie to play with the subtitles with some simple application. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
S.@@

Sorry, Fritz. It's been a while since I really looked at the Closed Captioning help page, and I just assumed that the New Caption workflow is covered there. And a second apology because the state of that page is at least partly my fault insofar as I promised our technical writer months ago that I'd help flesh out this page.
You're not doing anything wrong when it comes to adjusting the start/end times for caption blocks. Caption tracks in the Timeline are basically display-only. The apparent handles are really just indicators; they're not interactive. I believe it's on our roadmap to make them interactive, but I have no idea where that enhancement sits in the priority order.
I'm not sure what you mean about "each caption track block [being] limited to just over 30 seconds." If there's a maximum duration for a caption clip, it's probably up at 12 or 24 hours. I've worked with several that are longer than an hour. As for individual caption blocks within a clip, my memory has grown fuzzy in the months since I worked on the feature, but I think the program does not enforce a limit on the duration you can give a block. However, there may be a limit on how long a given caption block will actually get displayed. I thought that limit was 15 seconds, but I just did a test with blocks of 10, 20, and 40 seconds, and all of them had the full assigned duration in the encoded output. Could be that the limit I'm thinking of is standard-specific... Come Monday, I'll have to check with colleagues who have remained closer to the feature set.
Note that if you add a caption clip to a sequence before you've finished adding the blocks, then you'll need to trim out the clip after increasing its duration by adding blocks.
Lastly, although Premiere supports authoring captions from scratch, the feature set was conceived chiefly for importing captions created in a third-party authoring tool and, as needed, revising the content and adjusting the timing.

Problems rendering and exporting from Premiere Pro, Encore CS 6

I am having a problem with Premiere Pro and Encore CS6 . In Premiere Pro, my preview files do not get saved and I need to re-render each time I open the project. When the project opens it shows mainly red bars separated by blank (uncoloured) space. I am currently attempting to re-render this project, and it is stuck at 0.01%. In Encore, when I open my project I get the message The transcoded Dynamic Link asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? I select yes, but am unable to preview the project, probably because it is unrendered in Premiere. When I attempt to build a DVD the building initiates and then freezes. I have the project set up correctly and no issues come up when i go through 'check project'. I've searched forums for solutions to these problems, but haven't been able to resolve the issues. please help! My computer is an IBM ThinkPad LENOVO W510 with 16GB RAM. The premiere project is linked to After Effects compositions

Hi Else,
Footage is encoded ONCE. Since the "MPEG-2 for DVD" file that you create in AME is DVD-legal, when you import into Encore, you will see next to it "Don't Transcode", it just uses the file as is. The .wav audio will be transcoded to Dolby AC-3 automatically when you build the disc in Encore.
So in AME, for Format, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose a Preset to match your footage type, such as "NTSC Widescreen High Quality". Under VIDEO tab, you can adjust the data rate. For a short program, just choose CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and a setting of 7 or 8. Nothing else to touch in there, just choose a filename and destination and encode. Will create .m2v video and .wav audio clips. In Encore, use Import > As Tineline" and select both clips.
If source project is HD, then at bottom of encoder window, select "Max Render Quality", as this helps with downscaling quality.
If you say what the source sequence settings are I can be more specific on output settings.
Thanks
Jeff

How to use .MKV and .ISO with Premiere Pro? They are not supported.

Hi all. My brother in-law sent us two .mkv videos and a DVD .iso he wants me to use in a video I am cutting for him. The only trouble is, I've no idea how to get them into a format PremPro can handle.
I've searched and the only solutions I have found are infinitely complicated for me. Avisynth is certainly beyond me.
Anyone know of a way to convert .mkv (info lists 942x720 H.264 4:2:0 YUV MPEG4 AVC) into something useable?
Same question for an ISO file.
Thanks much
By the way, this is not for anything 'important' nor am I getting paid, so I have no budget tp purchase software. I am sure there must be a free solution.
I tried this trial version software...
http://www.moyea.com/import-flv/
But it would NOT install. It just errored in a loop and was unable to find or understand I have CS5 PremPro.

Can anyone explain how to use VLC to transcode? The settings are endless and NONE look correct. Everything is about coverting and shrinking and that is not what I want.
I have looked into this so many times and cannot find how to do it. I know it must be simple, but clearly I am blind.
What I need is to take whatever is inside that stupid MKV wrapper and extract it. Transcode it. I have been trying for A YEAR now and have never been able to find a solution.
I'm on a PC and unfortunately, there are free solutions for a MAC. But that won't help me.
EDIT: One option I see is tsMuxer! But which setting for Output? I can choose...
TS muxing... or M2TS musing... or Blu-ray disk... or AVCHD disk... or DEMUX
To explain more, I have a Blu-Ray I purchased and want to add the audio from my laserdisc, since the remixed audio on the disc sucks (hard). I'll also add English subtitles. To be clear, this work is for ME for my own personal use.
Here is a screen grab from tsMuxer. Which to choose? I will place the audio and video in Premiere Pro. Sync the old Laserdisc audio up and then EXPORT to Adobe Encore to burn a new BD.

Massive Lagging and issues with Premiere Pro CC 2014

For the last year we have been in post on our feature documentary. We have roughly 15TB of footage that is all stored on a raid coming into our edit suite via fibre (I don't know much of the technical information about it other than it's trustworthy and works for the other suites in our facility). We're in the final stretch and locking edit February 1. But the issues we're experiencing are making it very difficult to advance and fine tune the edit.
Over the last month or two performance with Premiere has been getting worse and worse. We are experience lag in actions when editing. It could be as simple as moving the mouse, clicking or copy/paste which can result in freezing or lag where we have to wait a few seconds or minutes for the program to catch up with itself.
We've been trying to figure out what is going on and if we can do anything to eliminate these issues. We have removed all cache files. We have eliminated any unnecessary or old sequences from our project file.
I will note that our project file is massive. It's currently about 1.15gb in size. Our sequence is a little hairy also. Not sure if this could be causing issues, but it hasn't in the past. See image below.

This is a known issue introduced in CC2014.0. Some h.264 encodes have blurriness or noise periodically in some areas of the frame. The problem is most pronounced in regions of the frame with very little detail, like grass or pavement--or the T-shirt in the sample frame. We are working on a fix. Before you ask when the patch will be forthcoming, I'm not authorized to even hint at the timeframe.
Unfortunately, the only real workaround is to export to a format other than h.264. If that's not an option for you, then your best bet is probably to keep working in CC7.2.2 until the patch is released.
Sorry, but thats not completely true and by far not the correct answer:
The problems with random artifacts occurred with the introduction of a new version of H264 in CS6 but there you still had the option to export with the previous H264 Version via Media Encoder.
Since the previous H264 version is not available in CC, using CC7.2.2 is not a solution either.
BTW
Updating to CC and using the new Mac Pros with Mavericks is currently a total mess - no open cl rendering, random crashes, no usable h264 ... thanks adobe!!
... but we can track masks in premiere now ... wow!

Problem exporting with Premiere Pro/Media Encoder CS4

Hey there. I've got 15-minute long movie edited in Premiere. Whenver I've tried rendering/exporting to see what the final product looks like, Media Encoder will usually freeze up about halfway through encoding. The time estimated/time elapsed will freeze, and if I cancel the encoding the program freezes up.
Other times I will get an error that says "encode failed because the source duration is nil". Not sure what that means, but the render arrows in the work area are never set to zero.
Additionally, I've tried exporting different lengths of the project only to have the same results, with Media Encoder failing each time.
Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
My footage is in .mp4 format, and I'm also exporting to the same format. I've got numerous music and voiceover files as well. Resolution when exporting is 1280x720, and the max bitrate is 7.0mbps.
It seems more like a software problem than a lack of adaquate hardware, but I'm running a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit with a 2.0 GHz CPU and 8GB of RAM - I'm not sure how to find out what kind of video card I have.
Thanks for any assistance, it is greatly appreciated!

After effects CC export to premiere pro CC: audio doesn't match

Hello!
I am making an animation serie for Belgian TV. They need me to export only my audio from premiere (I make the animations in after effects).
They need OMF format.
When I export from after effects CC > Premiere pro project (only to export my audio to OMF from here) the audio doesn't match.
Adobe media encoder doesn' support OMF unfortunately.
Example; if I stretch the audio time in after effects, premiere doesn't.
I am really stressing out and any help would be very welcome
Thank you!

Hello Jim
Thanks for the reply!
When I import my after effects composition into premiere, it is perfectly visible and the audio is correct.
But now it is suddenly impossible to select > export > OMF
Do you know why this is?
Thanks!

Can Adobe After effects cs5 work with Premiere Pro CC

I have a project I created in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and updated to Maverick which cause Premiere Pro to crash constantly. I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro CC and was able to reopen the file however all media edited in After Effects cs5 shows media offline even though I am able to open up After effects and access the media fine. Is there a way I can bridge them together. It seems the after effects media is still connected to Premiere pro cs5.

Dynamic Link usually only works with the same version (the same suite) of the software. You can render your AE assets into a production codec and replace the dynamically linked compositions with the rendered files.
Alternatively, install AE CC (and manually install the required 12.0.1 update to run on Mavericks) and resave the files in your CC version. (This will only work if you have a CC subscription, the update won't work on a trial version. When the 12.1.0 update is released, you will be able to run that trial on Mavericks.)

EXPORT WITH PREMIERE PRO

Why can't I export my editing with Premiere Pro

In most cases, I feel that this forum will likely give you more good, usable info, than will Adobe T/S. Rather than spend time on hold, unless you really like the music, let us know the details, per that linked article (above - just click on the word ARTICLE there). We can usually beat their time by days, and hours on hold. Also, those folk have one script - "uninstall - reinstall," and it's uttered in some odd dialect. With the necessary info, we are much, much better. We just need some details to go on. Also, other than my Mississippi "dialect," you will not need a translator. The only thing that we lack is "hold music."

Choppy playback and export in Premiere Pro 6

Red video glitch at render and export in Premiere Pro CS6.

I keep on experiencing red screen glitches in my videos while viewing after render and when exported into any format. After replacing the clip with another, the same problem appears at the exact same time as before. The only way to get rid of the glitch is to build a completely new project. I have attached a picture of the glitch (the JPEG is green for some reason).
Any solutions?

Thank you for fast answer.
my version is 6.0.5. ( 001 (MC: 264587))
i use more kinds of cameras, but each provide different video file type.
this problem is with HC-V700 Panasonic, which is creating the AVCHD files.
i am talking about working video window, where you see the movie you cut and edit! (not the green/blue/red bar in timeline)
(after finishing the rendering, sometimes without it), and in case when i see it red, it is exported as well as RED screen .
and - on the other side : i can play such movie file, by double clicking on it, (from project files list, or from timeline ) where new window appears for playing that file.

Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
Please and thanks.

Mitch,
I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.

I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

Hello,
As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
Thank you for any help.
