Blackmagic AVI File Not Working in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I've got a file captured from a BlackMagic Intensity Card that I want to import into a Premiere CS5.5 project, yet Premiere just shows it as a blank green video. The file plays back in VLC, QuickTime, etc. but not in Premiere! Anyone know why? Details of the file are below.

I use the card purely for external monitor previewing, so I continue to use the native codecs. However, you need to use a BM timeline preset to drive the output to the external monitor via the BM IP card.
Once editing is complete, it is a doddle to cut and paste all clips used in the sequence into a timeline using an Adobe preset, thereby losing the external monitoring.
A word of caution: I am unable to upgrade to CS5.5.1 on my Win 7 64 system, and have it on reasonable authority that it is because I have the BM IP installed. The upgrade is fine on my non-BM IP laptop!

How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

Hi Transportation,
Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
Hope that helps,
Kevin

USB Mic not working in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

So I've been editing in Premiere Pro CS6 on a mac for 6 months now. I have to do a temp VO for a project and I thought I'd try the Narration feature in the mixer. For some reason my USB mic doesn't show up in the Audio Hardware so I can't pick it. The same mic shows up in the Mac Audio Settings and even shows up in Audition. I've been having to use Audition but was curious to see if anyone out there has gotten a USB mic to work in Premiere Pro on a Mac. Would be a really cool feature if it worked.

Some USB mics work fine, but many do not. It can depend on the exact mic, or might require a different ASIO driver (maybe something like ASIO4All?), or different ASIO setting, to work.
Good luck,

Switching tabs while working with Premiere Pro CS5

Hello there.
I am currently working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and I notice that when I'm reproducing/previewing the timeline or am recording, for example, an audio track, everytime I switch tabs (switch to another window or to desktop), in this case the recording stops. I've searched around Preferences and in help files and I cannot find an option to make Premiere continue what he's doing despite me changing windows. Is this even possible? It would be very helpful.
Cheers!

>Is this even possible?
No... PPro must have full control of the computer to work... shift to another program and PPro stops

.avi video clip audio not working in premiere pro but play is windows media player

Hi all,
Using .avi video files. They play fine in windows media player. In premiere pro, the video plays fine, but there is no audio. When moved to a sequence, it builds an audio track, but it is silent. Any help is appreciated.

AVI is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

Blackmagic ultra studio sdi not working with Premiere Pro 8cc or A.E.cc(2014) on win7 GT630m i7 laptop - But works in A.E.cc(12.2.1.5)

There's a problem with the new update, as I no longer can use my BM Ultra Stdio SDI for monitoring. It let me select it but no image just black frame, with the new premiere pro cc 8 or a.e. cc (2014)
But i have No Problem in A.E. cc (12.2.1.5) work find just like it should, So what has happen here ? My system is Win7 Ultmate Laptop i7 Toshiba Satellite p850, dual gpu's GT630m & Intel HD 4000
With the latest blalckmagic drivers installed (10.1.1) This needs to be looked into, there is no way of monitoring accurately .

Problem Solved! (with a small catch)
While searching crashing issues I came across this thread,"Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2"
Marc_Lec Answered (and I paraphrase here)"...I had the same problem and this is what I did. In 'Preferences Memory' I increased the memory reserved for other application to at least half the installed and changed the optimize render from 'performance' to 'memory."
Thank You Marc_Lec for what has been a game changer for me since my last computer and the beginning of PremiereCC problems.
I changed my Memory reserved for Other Applications from the default 7gigs to 1/2 of my approx.31 available Gigs = 16Gigs. Viola!
No more crashing what-so-ever!
I still have to purchase an older GTX 980 graphics card to take advantage of Adobe's approved code to utilize X=Cuda Cores and GPU, but I think I'll hang onto my new TitanX, in hopes that Adobe will write code and approve it someday in the near future.
Now why doesn't Adobe say this officially about Memory Settings? (I don't know maybe they do and I missed I somewhere)
Mine and probably many peoples computers problems here on this board may be attributed to a simple Memory adjustment, because the computer needs more than 7Gigs to run itself, not to mention Premiere.

Red Epic Importer not working in Premiere Pro 5.52 (what am I doing wrong?)

Hello:
I installed latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro 5.52 this week.
I immediately downloaded the RED EPIC Importer updates found here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/r...details#tabTop
I believe I followed the directions accurately…After the installation I rebooted my Mac Pro...
When I tried to import the R3D sample files, I still received the same "corrupt file message" --even after installing the RED EPIC importer files
To be certain, I have reinstalled the RED EPIC Importer update several times----same error message…
My question: Do I need to clear a cache file, restart Premiere (while holding down a key) or do something else to make this work?
Forgive me for asking something that has been covered at length already -- I just don't see an answer....
Thanks,
Frank

I think I am seeing the same thing - or I am not doing something right.
Brand new Windows 7 machine with quadro4000.
CS5.5
HOWEVER> one workaround I think is to open the footage using the "view as" menu set to FILE DIRECTORY.
BUT I think this removed the HDR functionality that I get when I open the clips in Cine-x.
I thought that perhaps this was related to the initial transfer to our storage via a Mac platform and then copied over to our windows machine - but now I am not so sure.
I am pretty sure I also installed the drivers/importer files correctly, as I have done it twice now as well.
Anyone else having this issue?
Are we supposed to use a different workflow to bring the EPIC footage into a sequence?

Some avi-files not playing on QuickTime Pro 7.0.4

I tried to play a few avi-file movies using QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 on my Mac OS X 10.4.4, but unfortunately, I keep getting the message: "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." After going on that site, I downloaded some of the available free software, but the problem remains. Playing the movies with a third-application like the VLC, works fine. I wish QuickTime Pro would have the same capabilities in playing avi files like other Players. Do you have an idea how I can solve the problem?
Thanks for your support!

Thanks for all your help guys. I guess I will remain with the VLC for playing AVI files that donnot play on the QT Player as the VLC plays almost any movie file. I came across an interesting article regarding the subject:
QuickTime: About Playing .AVI Files
Learn why an .AVI file may not play as expected in QuickTime Player.
AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. The .AVI format is what is known as a container format. It specifies a way in which a file may contain audio and video data. It does not specify how that data is encoded. The encoding of audio and video data is specified in what are known as codecs. A codec (short for COmpressor/DECompressor) tells the computer how to decode the audio and video tracks that have been encoded within the .AVI file. QuickTime Player can use numerous codecs by default. You can also add additional codecs to extend QuickTime's features using plug-ins or third-party installations.
When QuickTime opens an .AVI file, it checks to see which codecs were used to encode the audio and video tracks within it. For example, an .AVI file may contain a video track encoded in the Cinepak codec and an audio track encoded with the ALaw 2:1 codec. If both the audio and the video were compressed using a codec that QuickTime can use, the file will play normally. If the audio or video or both were created using codecs that QuickTime cannot use, you may see a message like the following:
"QuickTime is missing the software needed to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server"
or
"You may experience problems playing a video track in "filename.avi" because the required compressor could not be found."
These messages are not an indication that anything is wrong with QuickTime Player.
Lists of audio and video codecs included with and supported by QuickTime are available from the QuickTime specifications page.
Using QuickTime Player, you may be able to determine which codec was used to compress an audio or video track:
QuickTime 6 and earlier
Open the file in QuickTime Player.
From the Movie menu, choose Get Movie Properties.
From the left pop-up menu in the Properties window, choose Sound Track or Video Track.
From the right pop-up menu, choose Format. The Format section shows the codec.
QuickTime 7
Open the file in QuickTime Player.
From the Window menu, choose Show Movie Info. The codec is listed next to Format.
If the .AVI file is encoded using a codec that is not included with QuickTime, you might be able to find and add that codec so QuickTime can play media encoded with it. Contact the party that publishes or distributes the codec to see if a QuickTime version is available. Many third-party QuickTime components are available on the QuickTime components page.

Smart rendering for DNxHD quicktimes not working in Premiere Pro CC

Hi if I understand things correcty PPCC should be able to smart render DNxHD codec in a quicktime wrapper back . If so this does not appear to be working. I am noticing small differences if I pull in a DNxHD quickitme clip in to Premiere and just render straight back out again no effects just cuts as DNxHD Quicktime. My sequence is set up to be the same as the codec. Although I do notice that trying to set the exact settings for the quicktime codec is not easy as it resets back to the defaults of DNxHD 220 59.94i so maybe this has something to do with it and their is no option to choose the MXF setting for my medi a as Adobe have neglected to make a DNxHD115 preset.
If you look on the YC waveform you can see the changes occuring when you compare the two side by side. This however does not happen if you render out as Opt1a MXF as it does appear to smart render and when ingested back in you see no difference with the source DNxHD clip. I also notice that when you choose the Opt1a option it has an extra check box for smart rendering.
Anyone noticed this. It all works perfectly for ProRes quickitmes so just wondering why its not working for DNxHD quicktimes.
Simon

Hi Simon,
Here's what I have for you:
Smart Render support for DNxHD wrapped in QuickTime was added in Premiere Pro CC
You must have Avid codecs installed
No option to check to enable smart rendering is needed, Premiere Pro always tries to smart render by default
The first thing I would check is to see if the DNxHD (QuickTime) codecs are installed or not.
Thanks,
Kevin

How to merge avi files by using Adobe Premiere Pro cs4?

Hi guys,
This is my first post on this forum, I have 10 fraps avi files and how can I merge them in Premiere Pro CS4? I know I can do this easily by using other vidoe filer joiner or merger, but I'm trying to find out if this can be done with Premiere cs 4 alone?
Thanks

Some AVI files not working?

OK, let me try and sum this up.
using a cannon power shot i have filmed time lapse footage before and brought it into an older version of imove and gotten it to open on my old (white edged) imac. I now have imove11 and a new imac. these same timelapse AVI files will not play on quicktime now or register to be found for imovie even with an import. Regula speed AVI files will still download from the camera and work on quicktime and imove11.
now here is what is throwing me off.
Iphoto11 will import these same files and they will play problem free in there.
when i download them and open them through image capture they download no problem.
wheni double click to open in quicktime i get the can't be opened, may need additional software error.
i have made compilations in the past of these type AVI time lapse files so why can't i now?
help please!

Thank you very much.
But AVI and .mov will take much size than .dat files.
so its better to concentrate in .dat files also for JMF I think.
Is it true.
I have a file of avi takes - 100mb for 3 min play of video
if u convert to .mov takes - 60-70mb for the same time of video.
I think you you have .dat files , for a movie of 2hours it takes only 1gb of size and can be shipped in two 500mb cds.
Please if you have any solution to reduce the avi file sizes please let me know.
Thank you,
Kiran

Media Export not working in Premiere Pro CC

I own the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a PC. It's been working fine until a few days ago when I tried EXPORT / MEDIA
Nothing happens. No crash, no window opening.. Nothing. It sits there as if it never got the request. I cannot get it to work.
I have opened older versions of premiere and it seems to work fine.
Media Encoder CC seems to work fine, but I like rendering from within Premiere

You're welcome.
