AVCHD not listed as a Sequence Preset

Downloaded and installed the TRAIL version of CS4.
Created a new project and tried to import some of my AVCHD videos from my SONY HDR-S11, but no AVCHD options are available.
I read that if you update to CS 4.0.1 you will see it, but no luck.
What can I do to get AVCHD?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
As has been stated many times, nothing MPEG is supported in the trial. Now, that notation might well not be the most visible from the trial download site, and a big neon banner might prove useful. Still, the lack of MPEG support is listed.
Now, as far as the "memory" issue with Vegas, one must first remember that "memory" is both RAM and also Windows Virtual Memory (Page File). Distinctions are often not made. Plus, most computers have all sorts of loaded and running programs and Processes, that rob one of their system resources. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on setting up the computer for any video-editing session, regardless of which program is used.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • When ripping a CD to iTunes to sync to iPod classic, songs are not listed in sequence.  Some are missing only to find them further down the list

    When ripping some CDs to iTunes to then sync to my iPod classic, songs are not listed in proper sequence.  Some are separated from CD and listed elsewhere, what gives??

    You probably have you Itunes music set as list and not as albums. Go to view at the top of Itunes and check as albums.

  • Choosing Sequence Presets for AVCHD

    Greetings:
    I have a new Panasonic HDC-HS100PC video camera. It records AVCHD video - whatever that means.
    When I import this video and then select one of the imported segments and look at it's properties, it says the following:
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 32
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - 6 channels
    and I'm pretty sure it is interlaced - not progressive scan.
    What I can't figure out is what Sequence Preset to use. I assume that I should use one from the sub-group called AVCHD and I also gather that I should use 1920x1080i. But I am not sure if I should use i30 or i60.
    I am going to have to build my project for DVD using standard 720x480 NTSC video for some of my viewers (ie: my Mom). Does the input video preset impact the resulting output? Is there a "good" way to do this?
    Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.

    Genoism's confusion is a direct result of camera makers not using proper terminology, and the general populace continuing that error through to common usage.
    Bottom line is one should always and only list frames, never fields.  Technically, there is no such thing as 60i, which properly means 60 interlaced frames per second.  You can have 60 progressive, but not 60 interlaced.
    Further, saying "interlaced fields" is redundant.  Kind of like saying a "female woman".  Well, all woman are female by default.  There's no need to say both.  Likewise, when you list the "i", meaning interlaced, we know the field rate will be double the frame rate.  There's no need to list both.
    Always and only list frames.  Pass the word.

  • CS 5.5 AJA Presets/Options Not Listing

    OS X 10.6.8
    PPro CS 5.5 5.5.2
    AME CS 5.5 5.5.1
    Kona 3
    AJA 10.1
    AJA Adobe Mac 10.1.1
    I've removed all drivers and preset packages and re-installed.  I even re-downloaded the files from the vendor web site to make sure I was absolutely up to date.
    However, when I load PPro, and go to a new project and select Sequence screen, there are no AJA presets.  Same if I continue through and try to create a custom one.  AJA is not listed in anyway shape or form in the program.
    However, I can select the Kona 3 as my audio output in the Audio preferences.
    I can not select the Kona 3 as an external playback option though.
    I've repaired computer permissions.
    I've flashed PRAM.
    I've done Shift+Option when loading PPro.
    So at this point I'm looking for any trouble shooting tips anyone can share.  I've run out of ideas.
    Cheers.

    Jim,
    I did try that.  They recommended to downgrade to AJA 9.1 set.  Tried that too, no dice.
    I'm thinking I might have to go the slow road and re-install CS 5.5 and AJA both.

  • Missing Some Sequences Presets!!

    Hi all,
    I went to start a new sequence as per normal on start up when l noticed the list was shorter than usual (you know how you get used to how things should look and where you position the mouse to choose your usual preset) well my AVCHD, HDV, XD CAM HD & XD CAM EX are no longer in the list to choose from. l went to the directory and found the folder "Sequence Settings" and there they all are as should be including the ones that are not showing up on start up, l then went and deleted the PP Roaming file hoping that that had become mucked up in some way but that did not work either. I'm now at a loss as to what to do when the sequence presets are there but PP won't display them on start up.
    PP version is 4.2.1 (003(M.C:166418)
    Hope you can help please.
    Simon Allan

    Simon,
    If you have CS4, one likely cause for this is a Bug, where the full-paid version reverts to the trial version. No one has ever come forth with a "why," but here is the "fix," should you encounter this in the future - hopefully the Repair Install HAS fixed things for you, but keep this handy, just in case.
    Deactivate the program. This will likely be grayed out, since the trial is not Activated.
    Uninstall PrPro.
    Run the Adobe Clean Script (now up to CS5) several times, rebooting between.
    As a precaution, maybe run a Registry cleaner, like CCleaner
    Install PrPro completely, and immediately update fully, before using
    Hope that you do not have this issue again and good luck,

  • Sequence Presets Missing in 5.5

    Hey all,
    I am aware of the CS5 trial version limitations for sequence presets listed here, but it also explicity states that in 5.5, these limitations don't exist. I installed the trial version of 5.5, and subsequently upgraded, and I still do not see any AVCHD, MPEG-2, or XDCAM presets listed when I create a new project; only DV and DVCPRO. How do I obtain these presets? Are there configuration files somewhere I can download? Uninstalling and reinstalling, as suggested elsewhere on the forums, didn't work.
    Thanks,
    Hugh

    The fix for this isn't just to uninstall and reinstall. The fix is to uninstall, run the cleaner script, reboot, and then reinstall.
    Yes, even though the third-party codecs are included in the trial version, they're still installed and managed by a separate component. There is a bug in that component that causes it to fail in some cases, and the fix is to basically go back to zero and try again. Running the cleaner script is part of that process.

  • Quicktime not an option on Sequence settings Video preview

    In the sequence settings, under video preview, "Quicktime" is not listed as a Preview File Format.
    Running Windows 8.1, 64bit
    I have installed the latest Quicktime, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, repaired it, to no avail.
    Also I have done the same with Premiere Pro, uninstalling and reinstalling.
    Here is a screenshot of the drop-down menu that does not have the Quicktime option.
    I have run out of ideas for how to get this to appear, so I came here :/
    Thanks in advance!

    [Here's the one response from the duplicate thread.]
    The Preview format options have always been somewhat limited. Consider this, that the previews should be just that - previews. When you have sufficient effects added to a clip to where it won't play smoothly in the timeline, you might wish to render it to get a better idea how the finished product will look. However, when you do the final export, best to NOT check the box for "Use Previews", since you would then be re-encoding (recompressing) the clip a second time. Better to export right the timeline, encoding straight from the source to final destination, diregarding any render previews you might have made.
    Maybe you can elaborate on the intended use or workflow of your desired preview format? I'm a PC user and I think that on the Mac, with FCP, one had the option to render previews as QuickTime and those files could then be stitched together at the end without transoding them again, but not so with Premiere.
    You might find that different Sequence Presets will provide different render preview options. 1280x960 is a non-standard format so that could limit your options.

  • Sequence Presets

    I shot a music concert with three cameras and one recorded AVCHD in full HD (1920 X1080 50i) and the other two identical cameras recorded HDV (1440 x 1080 50i). I am planning to edit this using the multicamera function in CS5.
    Which is the best sequence settings to use for this purpose, AVCHD 1080i or HDV? The project will be delivered in both HD and SD.
    Thanks for your help.

    Technically, 25 interlaced frames per second isn't Full HD.
    Thanks for advising on the technicalities of Full HD. In this case you did not answer the main question raised in this thread. I expected you to expand on your answer and advise me on how to go about my HD content in terms of sequence presets. If you provide an honest opinion on that, then I will say your answer is pretty helpful.
    Thank you.

  • Best sequence preset for short film with all stills?

    Hi,
    I'm working on a short film documentary, its all stills, I usually work with video - first time doing all stills. Project looks great in my time line, but when rendering for standard DVD I'm getting lots of odd pixilation in cross fades and fades to black. Not a lot of time to keep testing the hundreds of sequence and render settings. Perhaps not the best choice but I used AVCHD 1080p30.
    Anyone know which of the sequence presets would be best for a film with all stills?
    Thanks!

    Still a little unsure about the render twice. I did use a AVCHD sequence/timeline, but I am exporting using media encoder to MPEG2. I'm guessing by render twice you mean rendering in the timeline after you bring in stills and apply motion, then rendering again when exporting for MPEG2? If thats your meaning, not sure how you get around rendering twice - I mean the motions and timeline still needs to be rendered, or are you saying leave it all to be rendered at the export process?
    I can see how the terminology could be confusing.  When you Export>Media from Pr, that's the same as Exporting and Rendering (esp. if your output format is different from your Preview format).  One way to look at it is that you're rendering a complete single file to a single codec.
    Rendering is also a term used to "build" Previews in Pr.  That's where your source media - no matter what codec was used - is rendered into the Preview format you selected in your Sequence Settings.
    You have options when making a DVD.  You can export (while simultaneously rendering) to an intermediate file, such as ProRes for Mac people, and then make your DVD from that.  That is "rendering twice."  OR... you can simply Export to an MPEG2 from Pr, and make your DVD from that, which would be "rendering once."
    Based on what you just wrote, it sounds like you're only "rendering once."  But if so, I'm baffled why your fades are blocky.
    Maybe it would help if you described how you're making your DVD.  I wonder if you're re-transcoding your MPEG2 when you get to Encore (or whatever you're using to make DVDs).  That could explain it.

  • Sequence Presets missing in PP CS4

    On my initial install of PP CS4 I had many more available Sequence Presets than I do now.
    I recently had to re-install Windows Vista 64, thus having to re-install PP CS4.
    I have DV - 24P
               DV - NTSC
               DV - PAL
               DVCPRO50
               DVCPROHD
               Mobile & Devices
    I used to have AVCHD and some others, but they're missing on this installation.  I don't remember choosing any options to have AVCHD show up but it was most definately there.
    I just got my Panasonic HMC150 and I have a lot of footage I need to work with, so I need the AVCHD settings available to me.
    Any ideas why I'm not seeing the AVCHD option?

    1. Deactivate
    2. Uninstall everything Adobe
    3. Run Clean Script CS4 2 or 3 times. Look here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html
    4. Reinstall and activate
    5. Update
    Why did this happen? Because you have in the past used a trial version or your installation was faulty.

  • How to kill custom Easy Setup / Sequence Presets?

    I set up some experimental Sequence Presets and Easy Setups and now want to delete them. I have tried every recommendation that I could find (details below) but they still show up in the lists. Where on earth are these things stored??
    Here's what I've done:
    1. Repaired disk permissions
    2. In FCP, selected the Sequence Preset and pressed the Delete button.
    3. Exited Final Cut Pro.
    4. Trashed the preferences by deleting these files:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
    ~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
    ~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
    5. Emptied the Trash
    6. Rebooted the computer.
    7. Started Final Cut Pro.
    8. The Presets/Setups are still there!! Tried to find them by name with Spotlight. Doesn't find anything. Tried to find them using the command-line Defaults program. Doesn't find anything. Looked in
    /Applications/Final Cut Pro Additional Easy Setups
    They are not there.
    I also have Final Cut Express installed and trashed all its preferences too for good measure. But my custom settings will just not die.
    All ideas welcome!

    Agh auuuh agh? What a lot of coughing...
    1st thing to do: What format does your camera shoot? Make your Easy Setup & Sequence Settings reflect it.
    The wierd experimental formats are hiding. As a Final Cut Pro expert and official top user:

  • How do I match a clip to sequence settings and sequence presets?

    I'm getting the warning: Attention - This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any or our sequence presets.
    I'm trying to figure out how to set things up in Compressor so that my clips do match my sequence settings and presets. The issue seems to be with the audio not matching.
    Here are the sequence settings:

    I shot all the footage with a Canon 5D Mark II. I'm using Compressor to convert all my original clips. The only thing I don't seem to be able to match is the Audio. I can't find any way in Compressor to encode clips that have "two outputs" in the Audio column.
    The dialogue box for "Sound Settings" in Compressor doesn't offer any sort of options, that I can find anyway, to generate clips with "two outputs."

  • How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

    Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
    The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality.  I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
    From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector,"  it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:

    Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5.  (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
    Thanks in advance,  Michael

    Wow.  Thanks Colin.
    When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.    
    FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged.  Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).
