Black Flashes in Premiere and on Final DVD

I was not too concerned about the situation in the Source Monitor when about every 4 seconds I see a very fast, but obvious (nonetheless) Black Flash/Flicker on the screen. I thought it may be just a playback/RAM thing and that it would not go onto the final DVD burn. However, that was not the case, the Export, Burning and Playback of the DVD carried the Black Flash over. I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014. The footage is a mix of a Canon XH A1 and a Panasonic GH3. I have tried Square Pixels, NTSC and just a host of things that I lost track on, but it is annoying and obvious and has to be fixed. I am hopeful that there is an easy answer -- Please Help!!!

Same issue here exporting to MPEG2. I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a Mac Book Pro. My source video is AVCHD. I'm getting a frame of black at a regular interval of 1 second.This only occurs with Premiere Pro CC 2014. My older version of Premiere Pro CC exports it fine.

HT2729 Purchased HD movie on ITune and tried to watch it on my TV using my IPAd Mini as the source and got flashing white images and then finally a motive that it could be watched using the TV aas a monitor. Why? How do I avoid this problem?

Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not. Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph. A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device. Why? How do I avoid this going forward?

I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store. The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

Aspect ratio not working properly, and also, my final dvd has wierd ghosting

Hi,
I just can't seem to make a project work with encore. It's very touchy it seems. I have several videos that I tried to put together in a dvd, but I was having problems with the aspect ratio. Even when I used "Interpret Footage", the videos would incorrectly scale, most of the time to 4:3. At first they would look fine, but after transcoding, they would distort and sometimes be cropped on the 16:9 timeline I was using, or sometimes they would pop to 4:3 with black bars on the side.
It seems Encore NEVER gets what kind of video I'm using, even when I manually set the PAR in the Interpret Footage dialog.
So my solution was to bring everything into After Effects, render it back out as uncompressed AVI and use encore to make a dvd image which I then burned. My settings for this movie were 720x480 with a 1.2 PAR. The wierd thing is, I rendered two movies out in this way, Encore understood that one of them should be widescreen, but not the other. What gives?
I still had to do some tricks in Encore to get it to understand that these should be widescreen movies, and when I finally got them transcoded and looking right in my 16:9 timeline, I made an image. Then I burned it. Then I looked at it on a tv and I swear, every piece of text and or image had haloing on it.
Can someone tell me if this is a problem in my workflow? Encore is so confusing, I just want to know what the best method to making a simple dvd is. I don't want menus or any of that, just a dvd that loops. I can make one, but the quailty sucks. can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Stan

I think I'm onto something. I exported form After Effects as an Mpeg2-DVD so I end up with
*.m2v files.
I had set those in AE to be 16:9 aspect and when I imported them into Encore they popped right into my 16:9 timeline with no problems. and the final build went way easier too, way faster.
Then I looked at my dvd on the tv and it still didn't look so great. But when I compared it with similar dvds that others had done, theirs had jagged edges on text as well and I thought, is this because I'm using Standard Definition?
I'm very new to this, so maybe I'm expecting too much. My images on the dvd play back fine on the TV, but the text doesn't look great.
Also, maybe I'm not sure how best to set up my video. When I play my movie back on the TV (A Samsung) and I select the pictures size of 4:3, my video is centered with black all around, but it's 16:9. I have to hit P Size two more times taking the TV first to 'widescreen' (which makes my image look stretched), then to zoom which makes my image fill the TV screen. I think some of my quality issues have to do with this scaling. Is there a way to make my dvd fit the full screen on 4:3 aspect on the TV?

Still images appear black in final DVD

I am making a 12 minute film on a Dell dimension 2400 using elements 2 (which I have done several times before without problems).
Project includes video and still photos.
Some of the photos appear black in the timeline and some appear black on the DVD.
What might be causing this? Thanks

Premiere Pro CS6 error - black flashes on frames - Basic 3D bug?

I am currently working on a lyric music video which incorporates video and still image backgrounds with lyrics superimposed over the top in time to the music. I'm adding the lyrics by creating images with the words in Photoshop and then animating them (scrolling, spins, wipes, etc) in Premiere. All was going well until I tried a recent render and noitced that some effects were showing flashes of black on screen during text movement (flips or twists seem to be the culprit). I figured it was a render error but after trying a few different output methods and not curing the problem I realised I was getting the issue on the timeline when scrubbing through frame by frame. I've attached some images to demonstrate the problem. If I open an earlier saved version of the project then effect is fine on render and on scrubbing through the timeline. Have my later saved project files got corrupted at some point? If it was a software or hardware issue I would have expected it to have been happening from the outset but this effect has been fine until now. Is it fixable or do I have to go back a few versions and redo my recent work?
Ok I've just realised while grabbing the attached images that the black frames appear to be occurring on the first frame of each new text still image - I don't know if that helps with identifying the problem?
Ok another update - it appears to be the Basic 3D video effect that is causing the problem - if I remove that and have the text just appear then the black flashes go. But as I said above it worked fine in earlier project versions so it can work and isn't an inherent fault so I really hope I can find a solution and not have to remove the effect.
Really hoping someone can solve this for me, it's only a hobby video not a job but I've put a lot of hours in and am nearly finished so would be pretty bummed if I can't resolve the problem.
Thanks :-)

An update - this is definitely looking like a bug!
Each of the words is a separate Photoshop image cropped to the size of the word and I have then used the Basic 3D effect to rotate each image in turn from -90 degrees to 0 degrees so it appears on screen. Yesterday I tried changing the settings for the first clip and the black square disappeared if I reduced the range to -63 degrees to 0 degrees.
Success! Or so i thought. I moved the the next image and changed the range to -63 degreees to 0 degrees but the black square remained. In face I had to reduce the start rotation down to -58 degrees before the black square disappeared from that image. This progression continued with each subsequent clip needing a futher reduction the starting rotation so by the time I got to the last image I the start rotation had to come down from -90 degrees to around -20 degrees.
Defintely a bug? (It works the same whether I was using negative or positive start angles btw).
I'll try using a different file format for the word images in case it's an issue with Photoshop image

Export Issues: Green and black flashes and dropped frames

Hello,
So I've been having in issue in the last week exporting videos in Adobe (CS5, Premiere 5.0). It's happened both in AME and direct exports from Premiere. The sequence settings match the footage settings (1280x720 (1.0) 23.976fps MTS files). I'm using a mini matrox mxo2 hardware accelerator to speed up my export times. The sequences start with 5 seconds of a still image with a simple Title laid over it in Video two (the person's name, city etc. that is the focus of the video) which then dips to black into the footage. Everything plays back fine but after I output the sequences within the first 5 seconds (while the still img is up (a .jpg) there are flashes of green and black as well as dropped frames. It only happens a few times but it does happen in each video, only while that title is on the screen.
I've made hundreds of similar videos with the same export settings, same sequence settings, same footage settings. I know because it's a lot of the same cameramen and I've made templates for my projects, sequences, and export settings.This has never been an issue before this week.
I've tried mining Google and forums for an answer but can't even find other people having very similar problems.
Any help on ideas to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated and let me know if you want any more info from me.
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply J_Heffernan.
So my understanding of the issue is more clear. The green fields is from a rendered clip, not from playback.
Please try the following:
- in control panel, go to user accounts, and locate your account, and confirm its UAC level is all the way down, reboot if required
- if you downloaded the Matrox driver with another browser, besides IE, then redownload it again, with IE. Once completed, right click the file, go to properties, if there is a message stating its blocked, click the unblock button
- uninstall the MXO2 driver, reboot and reinstall it
- go to http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu let it scan to see if there is an intel chipset driver update availalble, and install it, reboot
- lets try with a brand new project - select matrox.avi as your capture mode
- select a matrox HD/SD sequence - try HD 1080i 29.97
- give a new name
- place colour bars on the timeline and streach it out
- now do a file export, use a Matrox h.264 option, and let adobe media encoder export it
- after it is completed, how is the playback?
Typically you can have premiere and media encoder open at the same time.

Black frames/ flashes on playback and edit to tape

I am painfully getting a black flash rather than a frame in the video AND audio throughout play back and going to tape. it isnt a black frame on the timeline. Ive tried boosting the ram, cleaning up the hard drive, media share and media drive but still it happens randomly and 'usually' when im going to tape under pressure for time!! please please help if you can thanks

check on your audio / video settings that there isn't a tick beside 'different output for print to video' on the AV devices tab

I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10. I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates. I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on. Anyone have any thoughts??

I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10.
Problem #1 I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates.
Problem #2 I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on...just keeps acting like its trying to but never connects. Anyone have any thoughts??

JEN-E-FER-FER
With versions earlier than 11, there is no more Sign In. If you get any message to that effect, ignore and cancel out of them. You should be able to move forward to your import, editing, and exports using the program nonetheless.
As for the disc menus, those marked photoshop.com plus members only are no longer available to you in versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11. You may see the thumbnails for those members only items, but they are no longer available to you in Premiere Elements earlier than 10.
Interestingly, many of them are found in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as part of the program with no need to purchase them or have any special membership in anything. Adobe has promoted Adobe Revel as a replacement for photoshop.com, but that has no impact on this disc menus issue.
This all has to do with Adobe discontinuing photoshop.com and photoshop.com plus et al.
If you need to download regular disc menus for Premiere Elements 10, please review the following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 7, 8, 9,10: Content Download
Bottom lines:
1. No more Sign In for Premiere Elements 10
2. No access to photoshop.com plus (members only) disc menus
Any questions or need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Adobe Premiere and Flash

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I know virtually
nothing about Flash, and have a somewhat limited background in
Adobe Premiere. I want to create a Flash intro for my Web site, and
I was figuring I could do it first as a video/audio clip in
Premiere and then import it into Flash and convert it to a Flash
movie. I know I could do my idea in Premiere, while I wouldn't be
able to do it in Flash. If it's not possible, I will have to hire a
Flash designer to do it for me.
1) If it's possible, could I do that with Flash MX version
6.0, or do I need to upgrade?
2) Should I make the Premiere clip as an AVI file, or would
you recommend that I save it in a different file format and export
to Flash?
3) Would this result in a Flash movie that would have a
really large file size, or could it be a reasonally sized file? I'm
thinking of having less than a minute's worth of video and audio
clips spliced together. There would be maybe three audio clips and
possibly 30-40 very short video snippets.
4) Are there any instructions out there on how to do
something like this?
Thanks for reading. I'm sorry if it's a stupid
question.

also - go to the adobe design center/devnet site or google
and search for "flash video" - tons of
articles and resources.

How do I create a wide screen movie in Premiere Elements 7 and burn to DVD or Blue Ray?

I have created a movie using project settings of 16:9 and also filmed in this format. The movie I burned to DVD is not in wide screen. I have requested assistance and given instructions to go through share and select Sony PSP. However this creates a file which is saved to my computer in mpeg-4 format which will not burn to my DVD. I am using a Blue Ray burner which looks as if it will only take MP3. Any suggestions?

I haven't actually done a BluRay yet - waiting to get everything right and,
hopefully, will be able to put more than 1 movie when all is finished!
That's my next challenge. I initially used Share/Disc to burn the DVD with,
I thought, all the settings for widescreen. It has always worked OK in
Pinnacle. When I lodged the problem with tech support they sent me
instructions using the Sony PSP. Interestingly I use a Sony camera, have a
Sony disc burner plus Sony TV and Playstation so you'd think they'd all talk
to each other!!!
Take Care

Are your creating and burning your DVD (or is it a BluRay disc?) from
Premiere Elements by choosing Share/Disc?
If so, it should produce a widescreen disc.
Sometimes DVD players don't automatically read home-burned DVDs as
widescreen and you have to manually switch it. But at the very least the
video should be either letterboxed or stretched.

MOV to DVD editing in premiere and encore

Hi.. Sometime ago I bought a digital still camera which can also shoot 640x480 30fps quicktime mov files.
To edit,combine and share the videos I am planning to write them in dvd with premiere pro cs3 and encore cs3. Although I have learned some about these programs I dont know some important preferences of exporting.
Could someone please answer these questions so I know what I am doing...
1. When starting a new project or exporting to encore to make mpeg-2 DVD what should I select in field order...Lower, upper or no fields (progressive scan)?
2. Likewise is my source video coming from camera as quicktime mov interlaced or non-interlaced? If it is non-interlaced it would be ridiculous to de-interlace, right? Although I used gspot to understand that I couldnt get any information about that issue
3. When I compare my source movie and output DVD I find that quicktime movie is a little bit sharper than DVD output in my computer. Is this normal or should I sharpen it a little in premiere pro before outputting to encore?
4. As I can edit in premiere and export as mpeg-2 I dont need any other quicktime codec, do I?
This is the result I got from gspot

Thanks for the replies.

Your camera is not suited for video editing. Either use a proper video camera or use a different application.
1. Lower.
2. Depends on your camera.
3. Likely to happen. GIGO, garbage in, garbage out.
4. No.

Flash or Premiere better for animations and movies in web design with Dreamweaver?

Hello,
I am recreating my personal website, and need to know which program (Flash or Premiere) is best to create animations that will be brought into a prerendered scene from 3ds Max. I have modeled television monitors that will flash and flicker with icons and text, but bringing video and animation into a scene like this for web developement is beyond my experience. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to redo my website, and during my education we were never shown how to bring in this type of animation to a website. I do have experience with all of the above mentioned programs, unfortunately its far from an experts understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated, and if more details and information is needed please feel free to ask questions if my rambling is confusing.
Many Thanks!

Unless you are animating vector elements and/or buttons (which would suit Flash), either app can be used.

Have you looked at Delete and Close Gap as well as Delete for what you describe?
Nonetheless, adding or moving clips to an existing Timeline content without disturbing the existing Timeline content can be challenging and complex under certain scenarios.
Typical solutions include making these moves with a keyboard modified held down (Windows Alt or Ctr). I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so we will need to find the Mac counterparts for the Windows keyboard modifier techniques.
Also, if one move triggers a multi-chain disaster, then you should consider grouping block of clips so that they do not move while you are busy with your Timeline maneuvers. Check out the Clip Menu options for Group and Ungroup.
Some times in the "Mac condition", you need to use fn in addition to the command to achieve some of these Windows counterparts.
The following video tutorial on arranging clips and keyboard modifiers is being posted for informational non promotional reasons.
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It is demo'd with Premiere Elements 8, but the principles are the same for later versions of the program.
Here is one variation of the issue on Windows.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Delete and Close Gap Failures
You should not have to delete audio to prevent it from being split by an addition to an existing Timeline. The keyboard modifiers should help you resolve this type of issue.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Lost my m2v and ac3 files and want to recosntruct from a final DVD

I lost the compressed files m2v and wav that I used to generate a menu driven DVD at the time I was using a Windows based PC (I used Pinnacle Impression with a menu to generate the final DVD.
Now I no longer use this PC and made the big step to the Mac world in buying a MacPro with FinaCutPro and DVD STudio Pro. The only thing I have left is the final DVD with its usual contents (VOB files).
Is it possible to find a way to import the VOB files (with the sound) into DVD Studio Pro, split it by Chapter and re-create a brand new menu ? Or using Compressor or FCP in intermediate steps before using DVD Studio Pro ?

Francois:

You can use * MPEG Streamclip * to extract the original m2v and ac3 files from the VOB file without any quality loose, and use such files in a new DVDSP project. You'll have to rebuild your menus and navigation.
Hope that helps !

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.
