Best workflow to export multiple AE clips to Premiere CS6

Hi,
Adobe After Effects CS6
Premiere Pro CS6
Creative 6 Master Collection also.
I have multiple clips that I have improved in After Effects. What do you suggest is the best workflow to get these clips back into my Premiere sequence?
thank you,
Robert

You can open the AE comps in Premiere via Dynamic link or you can use the AE Render Queue to render the individual clips.

Editing Multiple Audio Clips From Premiere in Audition

Hi there,
I am working with video/audio in Premiere that has frequent cuts (although the audio is derived from two files) and I need to edit all the audio files at once, rather than one by one, in Audition. I was hoping to this by nesting the audio in Premiere but I am not able to edit the nested file in Audition after this.
If anyone has any ideas of how to work with and apply the same properties to multiple audio clips from Premiere in Audition I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...

Hi everyone, I also have a trouble with cs6. I just record 3 tracks in the early today, then when I got home, I saved as sexs file ( wrong decision). After that, I went back and try to open the file, it can't file the recording tracks. The only one thing still exist is my beat, what should I do to recovered it? thanks for helping me out of this.

Batch export of individual clips? Premiere timeline to Media Encoder??

I have a bunch of clips on a CS6 timeline.
I want to batch encode them out.
I'm trying to figure out how to take those clips to Media Encoder so I can batch export them out all at once.
I've heard I can pull them all into a folder in CS6 and then batch export them out of that folder - though I can't seem to drag the clips en masse from the timeline to the folder (as I can in FCP7) - Premiere seems to only allow one clip to be dragged at a time. Very tedious. And the suggestion I read on the Forum doesn't quite match MY Premiere CS6 (the menu items are not the same).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated...
Ben

Hi joe bloe,
It is similar. And then my question is: how do I get all the clips on the timeline into a bin in one drag and drop (not one at a time)? And once it's in the bin, what are the menu steps to batch export?
I have a vague memory of using the Media Encoder to batch out some clips several days ago - but can't remember if they came directly from a Premiere timeline...
Apologies. I'm in the middle of a complicated job, with three different type cameras going, two of which I haven't used before, and thus my brain is a bit fried for searching through manuals.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

Importing GPS data from Garmin Virb Clip into Premiere CS6

I have been trying to add a clip that I recorded on my Garmin Virb Elite into a sequence on Premiere. I have tried adding the GPS overlay to the clip in Virb Edit (Garmin's video editing software), exporting it as an mp4 and then importing it into Premiere. Unfortunately whenever I include the clip into my timeline, the GPS overlay has disappeared (speedometer, altimeter etc.). Is there any way getting it to work in Premiere (CS6), because the Virb Edit is not a very good programme for editing on.
Edit: I should add that when I watch back the exported clip in vlc, the GPS data shows on the video, but as soon as I put it in the time line in premiere, it disappears

Aspect Ratio issue when replacing a clip in Premiere CS6 with an After Effects CS6 Composition

Please assist! When I attempt to right click on a clip in my Premiere timeline and replace it with an After Effects composition, I can do so, but problems ensue.
After Effects will start up, but the composition will be in 4:3, even though the Premiere project and clip that I'm altering were both 16:9.
I was able to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 in After Effects and then edit what I wanted, but an hour later when I had finsihed, saved, and gone back to Premiere, it had smushed the replaced clip into 4:3 within Premiere.
So to reitterate:
When I replace a clip in Premiere with an AE comp, AE opens in 4:3.
I can change the AE comp to 16:9, but when I save and go back to Premiere, it has smushed the AE comp down to 4:3.
What can I do to stop this?

If you right click on the clip in the Project panel, then select Modify / Interpret Footage you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.
What does it say?
If it says 0.9091 then change it to 1.2121
If it says something else, come back and let me know. I will then have a different answer for you.
Also, what is the frame size of the video.

Best workflow for exporting clips

Hello.
I have an hour long video that needs to be cut and exported as 40 individual QT movies. What is the best way to do this? I have set markers at all the points that need to be cut. How can I highlight between markers and then export that area as an individual clip.
Thanks in advance

By setting the work area and only exporting the work area instead of the sequence.

Best way to organise multiple large clips and hundreds of subclips

Situation
I have the task of producing a suite of short 2 minute videos comprising highlights of several hours of footage in multiple large files.
I want to extract and manage the highlights in a non-destructive way and organise them according to subject matter.
I would then use these in several projects to create the highlights videos required.
I am using Adobe CC, so it's CS6.
My approach so far is to:
1. Import all the footage into a single project as individual large clips
2. Scrub through each clip, set in/outs and extract to subclip, store in subject matter bin
My questions:
1. if I go back to the original footage and edit it, it doesn't seem to flow through to the subclips. How do I make the subclips inherit the attributes of their parent? (e.g. could be sound, colour, etc)
2. how do I access these highlights bins from another project?
3. is this the best way to handle my situation?
Thanks for your input.
Ric

I suppose applying the effects to the source clip and rendering out a new source file is one way of doing it. Just be very careful that you don't compress the output. And, of course, it will double the amount of hard drive space. I'd still make all the sub-clips first and use the "paste attributes" command. I think you can even lasso a whole bunch of clips and paste attributes to all of them at once (they have to be in the timeline, though - not the project panel).
It shouldn't take an awful lot of hard drive space to duplicate projects. Just duplicate the "prproj" file, not the whole projects folder (and certainly not the source material).
Here's a screen shot of my set-up for a complicated, 5-camera shoot of a play:
The original project (syncing all the cameras up) is 1 MB, each successive archive gets a little bigger but the current project is only 3.8 MB. I would imagine if you are deleting bins and sequences for the mini-projects, the prproj file would actually get smaller than the original master.
Okay.. so here's the mantra about non-tape based video... First you back up the card (including the complete folder structure) onto an archive drive. Next you copy this folder onto an external or RAID or other "real" archive drive. Then (and only then) do you start editing the material!
Ideally, you need at least three, physically separate harddrives (not partitions) in an editing station (this is true Windows or Mac). One drive for the operating system and applications only (no media or projects or anything!). One for working projects (each project in its own folder) where everything except the source video is stored. And finally one for the source video. On my system my OS drive is Tardis ('cuz I'm a geek!). I have a Projects drive for projects (duh!) a Scratch drive for working video files and an Archive for "finished" projects waiting delivery and back-back-ups of my SD cards.

Why is there no Batch Export of multiple clips from Premiere CS6?

This is a no brainer. Every other NLE has had this for at least a decade, yet PP CS6 makes you INDIVIDUALY export clips rather than sending them as one batch. What a time waste for someone looking to move to CS6 from FCP and finding it's slower.

Not quite enough info here...
Great with the specs on the system, but I need ram and HDD info, along with a few details about your workflow.
First, what are you ingesting? I need the physical media and file type it starts with.
Second, are you transcoding? I need to know what you transcode to (file type and the specs for frames etc).
Third, where are you sending them? I need to know what Disk, and any other info on where the files are going.
Fourth, how long are the clips? The longer they are, the longer it takes to ingest, and the more active the scene the longer it will take to scrub through. Some systems have a file-size issue with the volume you output to. I suggest using an external disk formatted as EXT4 (exfat 4), it has a 16terabyte file-size limit. Other file systems will split the files in an odd fashion, and often do so destructively with larger files. Less than 6gb isn't a problem, but more... ...the system may flag it.
Finally, what are you using to ingest the files? USB, thunderbolt, firewire... ...They all have their good and bad. USB has version 1 2 and 3. Firewire has 400 and 800. Thunderbolt has only 1 speed ("wtf was that?"). Usb can have stability problems and disconnects, and usb3 isn't exactly perfectly compatible with mac. If you can, get a thunderbolt usb3 hub, they limit the speed in, but maintain the stability. You'll get 1-2\3 usb3 speeds with stability of thunderbolt at the computer end.
One last note, make sure your permissions are set and the application support folders are okay... ...I've had apps crash when they tried to access this in the /user/library folder, mainly do to a mavericks update that was supposed to lock down security. Make sure these folders allow the app to access them. You may need to find some tools to "Watch" the app, or find a crash log after and read where it failed.
To really get into things, I need all this.
You might try to do a permissions repair. Some updates don't reset them properly or the magnetics on a drive go a little haywire when reading the permissions. You need to ensure your system is clean. Do a drive repair just in case.

Best workflow to place multiple projects into one master project?

Since FCP X seems to slow down with longer projects(this needs to be fixed soon) I am creating 4 15 minute projects for my hour master. Should I copy and paste the shorter projects into the master or export them as self-contained QT files and re-import?
Best.
Tom

Try copying and pasting into a new project first after rebooting and with nothing else running, not even networking.

Best workflow to export to flash

Hi
I currently export 10 bit uncompressed quicktime file then convert to flash using adobe flash converter where I adjust frame size. Is this the right way to go about it or are there other settings that give better results.
Many Thanks
Adrian

Hi again,
exporting as uncompressed does not increase quality, it does increase the file size and becomes less manageable. If your flash converter can read the format you originally edited then export as QT movie self contained or reference (self contained unchecked) then encode that.
Remember that Flash latest version supports H.264, which is simply perfect for the web.

Best Workflow to Export as 720X1280 (Portrait)

Please pardon my lack of experience with FCPX.
I capture a lot of video with my iPhone 4 in portrait mode 720X1280, so the video appears tall and narrow. I want to edit the video in FCPX and export the final movie as a Quicktime Movie retaining the same 720X1280. Actually I'm having trouble importing as 720X1280, because FCPX only allows 1280X720. I could rotate the video 90 degrees while editing and export it as 1280X720 and then rotate it in the new quicktime player, but is this the only way? Or I could probably use compressor to customize a 720X1280. I was just hoping that FCPX would have something more simple to export this way and not have to utilize compressor.
Thanks in advance

There may be a way to do this. Could you send me a small video of the video to tvpro at me dot com, or post it on the Internet somewhere that it can be downloaded.

Exporting multiple audio channels from Premiere Pro CS6 in MXF OP1a

I have a Premiere Pro project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. I make sure that none of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels as I want it to, but only the first two channels contains audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thank you for your help!

Hey Guys,
I'm having problems exporting an 8 channel audio mxf for a broadcast client. The mix they want is as follows:
Track 01: Full Programme Mix L
Track 02: Full Programme Mix R
Track 03: International Sound L
Track 04: International Sound R
Track 05: Music and Effects L
Track 06: Music and Effects R
Track 07: VO Mono
Track 08: Interview Mono
I have setup the sequence following this video on vimeo and am fairly confident I have the sequence settings correct. https://vimeo.com/38501157
I also can export a multichannel mxf. But all my tracks are exported as mono and I am therefore not maintaining my L and R as set up in my sequence
The problem is on exporting that since Tracks 01 and 02 are bounced down to 1 + 2 it means that my Track 01 (Panned L) is getting bounced down onto my Track 02 aswell and thus it does not remain seperate. Has anyone delivered a similar format for a broadcaster and come across this problem with Premiere Pro and know a solution?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Export uncompressed FullHD video. Premiere CS6

Hello.
I have a problem, and I want to ask you for some advices.
Actually I have an Intel Q9550 CPU on which I edit my videos. I didn't have problems with Full HD untill I started to work with AVCHD Format.
The problem consist in Exporting time (it takes very long ~ 7 Hours to generate a 90 minutes movie with VBR 1 Pass + Render At Maximum Dept + Use maximum Render Quality, 1920x1080 25p).
I have a colleague which has an Intel i7 3770K, which does the same process in less than 1 hour.
I'm curios, is it possible to export from my Q9550 PC an uncompressed video. After that to Import this video on i7 3770K PC and compress it into MPEG2-Bluray and MPEG2-DVD. ?
BTW:
Actually I cannot change my PC because i have no budget allocated for it.
Also, please exclude the advice to copy all footages to i7 3770K computer, and the project and to export on it.
Any advice will be welcome.

Firstly, you are greatly increasing the render times by checking both Max Depth and Max Quality. Max Depth is typically not needed or used. As for Max Quality, that is said to only help when SCALING is involved, so that would not help when going from HD source to Blu-ray, would only be used when exporting to DVD since you are downscaling the source video. So keeping those rules in mind could save substantial time right there.
But if you do want to export and have your friend encode for you, you don't want "Uncompressed HD" files, those would be absolutely gigantic files and would really strain ANY system when trying to play them (requires special hard drive RAID arrays). Try the free Lagarith .avi codec that can be downloaded (your friend will need it as well to use the files). http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html Has uncompressed quality, without the uncompressed file size, though the files will still be quite large compared to AVCHD. Your 90 minute program could easily be well over 100GB. A more compact format with good quality is the Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame 4:2:2 codec, at 100mbps, so about 4x larger than AVCHD files, available here - http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/windows/vfw_software_codecs/downloads/softwares/ver sion1.0/build33/
Part of your render time issue could also be due to effects you have applied in the video. Those will of course need to render whether exporting to Blu-ray, DVD, or "just an .avi file". So in that case, it may take just as long to export to Lagarith as other formats, so you may not save any time anyway.
What is your hard disk setup? That could be a bottleneck that limits export speeds as well, if reading from and writing to SAME drive, if it's not fast enough.
Thanks

Where can I get the codec to import iMovie clips into Premiere CS6?

I am running a PC with Win7 & PPro CS6
I have a bunch of clips that were copied over from iMovie imports (no original files exist anymore)
They are all a special form of .mov
I can play them in VLC Media Player (but not Quicktime, or WMP) so I know that a pc can handle them...
When I import into CS6 I get an errorsaying Codec missing or unavailable...
Whered can I get the proper Codec?
Thanks all!
Aza

Considering the last post was made in March last year, I've attached the feature request I made today, just so you know you're not alone on this issue, for anyone with the same problem.
MAC to PC Support:
There needs to be a comprehensive and readily supplied library of codecs to provide simple transitions between MAC and PC.
I'm currently working on my first feature film. I raised a little bit of money through Kickstarter, enough to buy a decent HD camera and a microphone. Basically, I'm not a professional and I'm learning as I go. The camera I bought is a Canon XHA1- it records to mini-DV. I do not have the money to buy an HDV tape deck, leaving me with the only other option of using the firewire port to capture footage off of the camera itself. I had a firewire-to-USB cable, which I used to capture footage to my PC, but after getting a new computer with Windows 8, the camera is now out of date and the OS has no drivers for it. I then decided to capture my footage on an old i-Mac my friend gave me, through i-Movie. After moving the files to my PC, I found that Premiere Pro CC was unable to import them.
Needless to say, the song and dance I have to go through every time I try to capture footage is frustrating, and considering the mission of Adobe Creative Cloud, to provide affordable opportunities and resources to independent artists, not to mention the fact that Adobe is for both Mac and PC (and especially not mentioning the fact that it is a service I am paying for monthly,) I feel like these kinds of problems shouldn't exist.
Of course saying "I pay for this, this problem shouldn't exist" is the rallying cry for every idiot who expects the impossible. But capturing on i-Movie... and importing to Premiere Pro? Really? Why is this an issue? Maybe i-Movie is out of date... but I'm not going to waste another weekend capturing; it probably still won't work.
I'm not asking for file conversion software. That's what I'm going to have to do on my own, for GBs upon GBs of footage just so I can get to the editing table. The problem is that I have to convert it in the first place. If there is any progress on this issue, please let me know.
