AVCHD and Premiere Pro...HELP

Hey guys,
After some time I've managed to stabilize my computer (with some help ).
I'm having some trouble though...
I can't seem to get my AVCHD files to scrub smoothly in Pp5.5. I'm beginning to believe that the fault lies with Pp5.5 itself, not my hardware or settings.
My software is up-to-date v5.5.2.
I've gone through Harm's tune tips and have changed almost everything except creating a new page file.
I've searched the forums, but have not found a fix for this problem.
I've included some screen shots in order to help you guys help me......let me know if you need any more info.
This is driving me bonkers.
Computer specs:
Adobe PP CS5.5

Hey Stephen,
When I scrub the footage, premiere jumps around the time line in large gaps. I might get 1-3 frames for every minute of video when moving the mouse/cursor at a reasonable rate. It makes previewing my footage almost impossible. I basically have to let the clip play in realtime to see what's on it.
I expect the scrubbing to be smooth. Like I see in all the training material I have been watching.
Not sure what MPE RT is? Mercury Playback Engine...Real Time?
I'm also having issues with certain features when creating titles. Such as: slow feedback when changing the "degree" of the text (it takes sometime for the degree number to change onscreen...basically jumps around). When scrubbing the linear gradient option, I'm also seeing some lagging. I've circled the areas in RED on the image below:

  • Canon HF11 AVCHD and Premiere Pro CS4

    I had been using a Canon Optura xi for years with good success, and recently with Adobe On Location with good success.
    Recently I decided to take the plunge into HD and purchased the Canon HF11 which has AVCHD.
    I realize now that without firewire support I cannot use On Location. Too bad because I really liked the ability to note my scenes, etc.
    I'm having a little trouble getting everything to work together and was hoping someone could offer some suggestions.
    My output is going to be hi def for you tube and for family movies (burned to DVD and/or AppleTv).
    1. If file size is not an issue should I always shoot at highest quaility?
    2. Would I choose the setting AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) non-amorphic?
    What recommendations would you have for exporting to You Tube, DVD, and Apple TV. So far my exports have been a little blocky.
    Last, would you recommend purchasing AVCHD upshift to make the editing process a little less painful ($50 vs a $3,000 for new system).
    Chris

    Thanks for the response. I'm going to try this out tomorrow for youtube.
    If I were to export from premiere for anything but youtube and maintain highest quality for playback on a PC what would you suggest? There are just so many presets I don't know what to pick. I've tried a few (Quicktime) and they look lousy.
    Maybe I'm missing something, I see other people mentioning interlacing, etc. Someone else suggested shooting 24P to eliminate interlacing issues?
    Thanks for helping me get to a resoltion.

  • AVCHD blown highlights in AE and Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi Guys,
    I have the NEX 5n and Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 Workstation.
    It seems as if Premiere is geting the 0-255 16-235 Levels kind of wrong. AVCHD files of all kinds have clipped highlights when exposure on the NEX or any other camcorder is set spot on before clipping.
    In PP cs6 and cs5.5 you can just bring all the Information that is above 1.0 in the waveform down with any 32 bit Filter that deals with Levels. But it schouldnt be up there above 1.0 in the first place or am I wrong?
    This also applies to the Canon XA10 camcorder
    clipped whites:
    [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/az9fm.jpg[/IMG]
    Levels adjusted with 32 bit Filter in PP = No clipping in highlights
    [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/ofrl86.jpg[/IMG]
    In AfterEffects its different: You would have to work the whole AE Project in 32 bit to be able to save the clipped detail in the whites. If you work in 8bit (which is standard ae project) then AE will just cut off all the info above 1.0.
    But the question is: Is Adobe getting it wrong in the second consecutive Version of PP that is supposed to deal nativly with AVCHD? Or why do highlights that are not clipped on any AVCHD camcorder, appear as clipped in PP cs5.5 and cs6
    Even the opensource FFDSHOW codec gets it spot on when played with mpclassic (as Andrew Reid from EOSHD.com stated and I also can confirm this)
    Also when I connect the nex 5n with hdmi to my Plasma everything plays just fine no clipping at all!

    when exposure on the NEX or any other camcorder is set spot on
    Are you saying the waveform on the camera is displaying the same image differently  to the wfm in PPRO?  I would be surprised if that were the case.
    That paper kind of looks very "hot" and it doesnt surprise me what the wfm is showing here.
    FWIW: I extensively monitor my AVCHD by using level, gray and color  cards in my shots.  The wfms in the camera, monitor and PPRO always correspond.
    Try shooting a color chart and also checkout .some color bars generated by your camera.

  • AVCHD in Premiere Pro CS 5 - exporting file type questions

    Firstly, this is my first post on here, so apologies if I'm breaking any kind of etiquette. Also, I'm not a very technical person and would appreciate any comments or advice to be in layman's terms!
    So, I film and edit weddings as part of a small company. I've recently had my camera and editing system upgraded to a Sony NXcam and Premiere Pro CS5 and I'm having a little trouble getting used to the new file types and settings (previously used miniDV tapes in SD with a Canon XL2 in an older version of Premiere).
    My pc handles the AVCHD footage fine but the way that I edit means that I'll want to export a sequence of edited clips as one long clip, and then re-import it. For example, I'm editing the wedding ceremony from footage from two cameras - I'm going to edit the full version of the ceremony and then I'm also going to edit it down into a version that is a highlights montage in slo-motion to music. The way I do this is once I'm happy with the full version of the ceremony I'll export it and then re-import it so it's one long clip I can play with rather than two sets of footage chopped up on a sequence. So I can alter the speed of this new long clip, and then chop it up and stick in some dissolves to put together the montage. Then I use this montage in the middle of my final film, between the preparations and the reception. The full, edited version of the ceremony is used as an extra on the DVD.
    Previously this was fairly straight forward. I was always working with footage in 16:9 and could export it as an avi file, then re-import that avi file with no problems - presto; the exact same-looking footage as I was previously working with.
    Now I'm editing with avchd mts footage (1920x1080 - 25p - square pixels?). Naturally, if I export it as a 16:9 avi and re-import it, the aspect ratio and frame size is all wrong for the project sequence.
    I just want to know what the best file format and settings are to use to export footage that will match up.  There is no option that I can see to export edited footage as mts files. There is a long list of file types, most of which I don't recognise or know anything about and have never needed to use in the past.
    Sorry if this is a silly question, I've tried searching for "working with AVCHD in premiere pro cs5" in google and not been able to find anything that can help me on there, so I thought I'd try a forum like this.
    Cheers
    Adam

    I think we may have a slight miscommunication.  This is the way that I interpreted your original post.
    Lets say you shot the Smith/Jones wedding this past weekend.  You start a new project and have a Service Sequence and a Reception Sequence.  You finish editing both the service and reception and just a standard full length video.  Now you want to create a montage with clips from both the service and reception.  In this montage you will have different effects like Black and white, Slo Mo, blurs, etc.  So what you do is export the service and reception and then import those two files (or one long one) and then cut that apart and add your music and effects to make your montage.  Is that correct?
    The way that I do it works the exact same way except that you skip the export part.
    When I edit a wedding I generally have 4 sequences when I am finished.  I have a Pre Wedding montage, service, reception, and ending highlights.  The Pre Wedding montage is just made up of shots from before the service (bride and bridesmaids getting ready, shots of the venu, groom and groomsmen and so on).  Then I have a full edit of the service and a full edit of the reception.  After I am finished with those 3 sequences I start working on the ending highlight collage.  I make a new sequence for the collage then I go to my bin and drag the "Service Sequence" up into the preview monitor (I know in my previous post I said double click.  That does not work, because that just opens it up as a sequence.  Sorry about that).  In the preview monitor I scrub through the footage until I find a section that I want in the montage.  Then I set in and out points around that clip and drop it into my Montage timline, and what ever effects to it that I want, then move on to the next clip and do the same thing.  To me it seems that we have the same process except that you have to wait for the export (which is always going to give you a quality loss, how much of a loss depends on format and settings).
    Please let me know if I have misread your process.

  • Bad performance quadro 4800 and premiere pro

    Could someone please help me understand if somethings wrong with my settings or if my 4800 is defected?
    I run OSX Lion 10.7.2 and have the quadro fx 4800 installed in a:
    Mac Pro 4,1
    2 x 2.93Ghz Quad-core Intel Xeon
    12GB of Ram
    with two additional Geforce GT 120 installed too.
    the latest drivers for the 4800
    GPU driver version: 7.12.9 270.05.10f03
    CUDA driver version: 4.0.50
    I run Premiere 5.5.2 and have tested the performance with the two different settings:
    Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration
    Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
    I did this test because I didn’t feel my 4800 did the work I’ve read everywhere it should. Adding simple text titles to AVCHD footage made my playback drop frames.
    Anyhow, I tested my machine with 1920x1080 AVCHD and added video layers until I started to see stutter during playback. First with “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration”. With 14 video layers sized down so you could see them all beside one another playback started to drop frames. The yellow line was still yellow in the top of the timeline. Shouldn’t it turn red if the footage needs rendering?
    I then switched to “Mercury Playback Engine Software Only” and the yellow line turned red. The strange thing is that when I played back the same 14 layers of video the dropped frames where gone!! Isn’t this beyond strange??? Shouldn’t everything run more smooth with the “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration”?
    Has it got anything to do with my Geforce GT 120 installed? Should I get rid of those? My two 24 inch apple displays are both connected to the 4800.
    PLEASE help me or redirect me to some good forums!

    After testing final cut (which I love) and Premiere back and forth with the exact same media I notice that editing prores in Final cut is the best when it comes to just edit the film. Sure Premiere does take native MTS files but what good is this when it doesn't run fluidly? Comparing playback and editing with prores in Final Cut and Premiere makes me realize that on my computer, don't ask me why, a rendered sequence with prores material in Premiere is far more jerky than a sequence with prores that "do not need render" in Final cut. Shouldn't they be the same?? Movements like camera pans that originally were shot really smoothly isn't as smooth as they should be playing back in premiere (and yes I know I got the right sequence settings and all). Final cut however gives me what I want.
    To me it all comes down to how good the editing App presents what you currently are editing. Adobe has many advantages with the dynamic link and so on but playback is a such an important part of editing!! Has anyone got the same problem with "not as smooth playback as you would really want" even though the sequence is rendered displaying a green line??
    Thanks for the links lasvideo but I practically read every article there is about CUDA, premiere and mercury playback engine already.
    Anyone knows anything about Adobe CS 6 release dates?

  • After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 Long Startup and Application Hang

    Problem:
    After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6 are very slow to start all of a sudden.  Around 5 minutes to get to/by the intro dialogue box.  For AE, the majority of the time is spent on the "initializing user interface." Then, if I can make a comp, and even a layer inside that comp, it will "Hang" if I attempt to open AE's General preferences for example (no preferences window ever comes up).  This "hang" is what the Event Viewer in windows calls it, with the faulting module being afterfx.exe.  Premiere is not much different.   It makes it to the new project window fast, but after setting project parameters and creating the first sequence, I can't get into the preferences either and the application hangs.  It is important to note that if I have another application open, like Chrome or Firefox for example at the time the application hangs, they will freeze as well.  As soon as I kill the Afterfx.exe process, they come back to life.
    I have read nearly all threads on the subject, and am struggling to find a solution:
    Deleted preferences folder under my username's appdata.
    Turned off Firewall (network traffic from dynamiclink, qtserver, etc was allowed, but what the hay)
    ran windows system file checker/malwarebytes/rkill/rootkit detection.
    checked for windows compatibility checkboxes under the file.
    Uninstalled Wacom Tablet drivers
    Disabled Aero
    Started with ctrl-alt-shift to delete pref.
    uninstalled video driver and replaced with one 6 months ago.
    uninstalled, reinstalled, and tested various quicktime versions back to version 7.69
    moved plugins folder
    moved opengl's plugin out of the folder temporarily
    Disabled all 3rd party codecs (xvid was the only one installed and for months)
    reinitialized default directshow filters
    checked for adobe font list (none found) and removed any fonts from 1 month ago to present.
    used msconfig to selective startup without other applications/services running.
    Uninstalled all adobe products, and reinstalled.
    I performed all of these in a systematic manner, trying to solve the problem.  None have fixed the problem.
    So it doesn't seem to be a network issue, a codec issue, a plugin issue, a driver issue, font issue, or conflicting application.  Any thoughts?
    System Info:
    PC Windows 7 pro 64-bit SP1
    Core i7 - 960 24GB ram
    AMD Radeon 6750  v12.10
    Adobe CS6 Master Collection

    Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
    I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
    Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
    I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
    The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house.  It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service.  Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen.  It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
    I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device.  I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream.  Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
    I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it.  Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
    Thanks for the help!

    Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine. Any clues would be appreciated.

    It does not necessarily mean a "corrupt" font, but can be a font that PrPro, and PS, cannot handle.
    Though I have read that changes have been made, Open Office's DejaVu font would crash PrPro's Titler - every time. There are quite a few others. Font Dr, and similar utilities, will not see the font(s) as corrupt, but they are so poorly designed, that PrPro and PS cannot deal with them.
    Though it can be a long, drawn out process, one can often zero in on the problem font(s), with a little work. This is accomplished by first defining the "System Fonts," and not touching them. Then, uninstall half of the remaining fonts, and testing PrPro and PS. If they launch fine, you know that somewhere in that list of fonts, the problem exists. If there is still a failure to launch, chances are good that the problem font(s) reside in that half, that are still installed. Note: because the problem still exists, does not guarantee that there are NOT problem fonts in that uninstalled group, so keep that in mind.
    Repeat the proces, by uninstalling half of the remaining fonts and testing.
    If necessary, repeat by removing half of the now remaining fonts and testing.
    When you get to a point, where you are no longer getting problems, reinstall fonts, in small groups, testing in between. The smaller the groups, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem font(s).
    Keep notes on which fonts you are uninstalling and reinstalling, until you narrow it down to the problem font(s).
    I would start by uninstalling any "free fonts," and then commercial, 3rd party fonts. A lot of free fonts are just poorly designed, and can cause issues, though they might work fine in some other programs.
    I use a font manager, so that I only have ~ 350 fonts installed at one time, and then dynamically install fonts, as needed for Projects. That keeps my machine clean, and if, upon installation, I get a crash/hang, I know that at least one font in that Set is causing it. This helps, as my workstation has ~ 19,000 fonts on it, and some are free fonts, and many are from 3rd parties. Some are also very, very old.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - one common cause for hangs on loading PrPro can be from VST's, used in Audio-editing. If you also have a lot of VST's, you could have two issues with two separate programs, i..e. PS hanging on fonts, and PrPro hanging on VST's. The results would be the same, but the causes could be different. That leads to even more work. For PrPro, also see this ARTICLE. If you get PS launching, but PrPro is still not functioning, drop by the PrPro Forum, and someone can help you there.

  • Initializing Installer... and then nothing in Photoshop CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello. I have a pretty big problem, I can't install Photoshop or Premiere Pro on my PC. I get to the " initializing installer " part, it fills to 100%, then the window simply disappears. What should I do ? My OS is XP SP3, and I have enough HDD space left - around 50gb in C: and 550gb in D:, so this isn't the problem. Also, I don't have any old installs of Photoshop / Premiere Pro on my PC. As for the windows, I've just re-installed it last week, so I'm sure that I don't have any viruses or stuff like that. One thing that I must mention - before I re-installed my windows, I was able to install both Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I hope you can help me. Thanks

    Photoshop 32bit should, but Premiere Pro CS5 will NOT install on WinXP... PPro CS5 REQUIRES a 64bit operating system to install
    If you really need PPro CS5, you will have to upgrade Windows to Win7 64bit... the Pro version is most used for video editing
    If you bought a CS5 suite, Premiere Pro CS4 is included for those with a 32bit version of Windows

  • Can I install both Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro on my computer?

    I use elements but I want to learn premiere pro so I just installed it but in the process elements was deleted.  I still need elements to finish projects I've started in elements.  Is there a way to have both programs on my computer and use both elements when I want and premiere pro when I want?
    Is it possible to open an elements file using premiere pro CS6?  I tried but it didn't work.
    Thank you.

    ATR,
    I agree completely.
    Without every version, over the last 10 years, of each program, it's almost impossible to tell a poster, "Yeah, that will work... "
    It's the same with Premiere (not Elements, but the program before the "Pro" designation) and Premiere Pro. I inherited a big Project, originally started in Premiere 6.5 on a Mac. I had PrPro CS 2 on a PC, and all of the Project files Opened very well. IIRC, there were a half-dozen Transitions, that I did not have, but PrPro gave me the name of the Transition, plus the TimeCode of where it was used. All I had to do was change the missing one to Cross-Dissolve (do not know why the original editor deviated from that?), and all was good. However, when Adobe went with the Pro version, it was ONLY ported for the PC - no Mac support at all. Then, with PrPro CS 3, X-platform support WAS added. If a Mac user had an earlier Premiere, or Premiere Pro Project, before CS 3, they had to find a PrPro PC-user, with PrPro CS 3, who would Open that earlier file, then Save_As, so that they could Open it on their Macs, with later versions. Real "hands across the aisle" thing. We PC guys helped many Mac users to get them up and editing, but it was tough to explain all the ins-and-outs to them. Lot of confusion in those days. We do not see it that often now, as Premiere, up through version 6.5 are fading into history.
    Also, to add to that confusion, Adobe shook things up, with the release of Premiere 7.0, also officially called Premiere Pro 7.0, but also Premiere Pro 1.0, at the same time. Most countries got only PrPro 1.0, but not all. Even some Adobe Staff folk do not realize that there were three, coincidental names for basically the same program. And, as that was the point of transition to PC-only, puzzle over what version a user really has. I have had a few state that there was NO Premiere Pro 7.0, and that it was ONLY Premiere 7.0, or Premiere Pro 1.0. I have seen the boxes that show that some folk DID get a program officially named Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0. Just a bit of arcane history.

  • Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro - The performance issue that Adobe don't want us talking about!

    In May 2014 I bought a 2013 Mac Pro to help my business with the ever increasing demands video editing was placing on our systems.  I was so excited to see how the 12GB of power the AMD D700s would affect my workflow and ability to edit footage seamlessly without delays to the creative process.
    However, to my dismay pretty much since starting to work with the system I found that there was an issue with the GPUs, Mac OS and Adobe’s applications.  It was first reported by many other users in early 2014 and as yet know one from Adobe has really commented officially on the issue.
    Sadly it appears to still be present today and speaking with an Adobe rep confirmed this.  Trouble is no one is doing anything about it.  My hope is that, if you have watched this video and are experiencing the same issues then please let’s get the comments going, share and like the video and let’s get Adobe, Apple and AMD to pick up this with immediate haste! Thank you.
    Below is a video of the problem I have been experiencing.  It's a little long but I wanted to give a good account of the problem we are seeing so that someone can help! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help!
    Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro GPU Issue - YouTube
    Thank you for your time and I'd love someone to help!

    Thanks for responding!  It's such a pain and I have been chatting to one of Adobe's senior consultants about this and still none the wiser.  I have sent my machine off to the retailer as it was still under warranty.  Nothing wrong with GPU apparently which is a relief although I kinda wish it had been that as it would have been an easier fix.  Adobe told me that working with H.264 is totally possible but if you have a complex sequence with multicam and nested video with effects applied then it will seriously hinder performance.  Sadly transcoding to ProRes doesn't seem to help either and they suggested not adding any effects to the nested clips, flattening out the multi cams etc and this has improved things a bit.  Sent a sequence to SpeedGrade the other day though and the machine had a fit.  FCPX though seems to be working great and has a few advantages over Premiere so I may be making a switch for this type of work until Adobe can sort out this issue.  I still feel that the application isn't fully making the most of the GPUs.  In fact, I found out that multicam is actually all still on the CPU and that they are trying to implement GPU handling of multicam soon.

    I have a macbook pro and Premiere Pro 5.0...I'm trying to open audio channels to do a voice over. Every time I try to record it says I don't have a open channel.

    Is there some reason you have not updated PPro 5.0 to the latest version?
    All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Customizing the Project panel

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/customizing-project-panel.html

    Honestly, you did not get my point.
    What I am saying is, that the icon view has no rational order of files. Why is that?
    At least there should be a way to figure out, even if it is not possble to alter the sort criteria, in which order the files are listed in icon view.
    If I serach for a spezific file, sure I can use list mode, but what about "there were a couple of frames with that car, and it was shot after file X … a just let me fastly scrub trough the footage in that brandnew icon view … wait … where is … aehm .. ok, I scrub trough every file."
    Do not get me wrong, I love the new icon view possibilities so much, that I want to actually use them.
    Please just fix it Adobe, or tell me how to decrypt the sort mechanism.

    How should an editor use this view seriously?
    Honestly, to sort manually.  If you want an auto sort, use List view.
