Blending mode in Adobe Premier Pro CS4 not working???
in Adobe Premier Pro CS4, the "multiply" blending feature is not working properly. When there's no video underneath the "blending" layer, it SHOULD not show anything, but instead the clip instead just shows up.
Well, the problem is that you're assuming that the "nothing" in the gaps in your PPro sequence is "something," when really, it actually IS "nothing"...
OK, existentialism aside, when you see black in the Program Monitor that results from a gap between two clips, from a digital standpoint, there really is nothing there. Empty spaces in a PPro sequence are actually a fully transparent layer, created by an alpha channel that encompasses the entire frame. Since the Multiply mode is expecting RGB values to operate on, when it doesn't encounter any (due to the alpha channel) the effect is just ignored--that's why you see the clip with the Multiply mode when it crosses those gaps.
You can correct this by filling your gaps with "real" black, either from an imported graphic or from the black video generator in PPro. Simply edit a bit of it into the gap so that there are no holes, and your multiplied clips will disappear.
And for that matter, it's never a good idea to leave empty holes in a Premiere sequence; it's often the cause of rendering and exporting headaches.

Premier Pro CC will not open, even though all my computer software is updated. It comes up with the message every time I try and open it. "Adobe Premier Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again." What does this mean?

I have downloaded adobe premier pro cs4 to my mac book pro. I have the serial number. I purchased it in 2010. I have a new system and I want to transfer the license to this system. how do i now install and open it?
Sounds like you've downloaded the OS X version of the game, which won't run on iOS devices. You need either this version <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars/id557137623?mt=8> or this version <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars-free/id578915438?mt=8> for your iPod Touch.
The versions for iPad are <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars-hd/id557138109?mt=8> and <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars-hd-free/id578909807?mt=8>.
Remember, all apps for your iPad or iPod Touch must be purchased through the iTunes App Store. You can do this directly on the devices by tapping App Store and searching for what you want. -

Premier Pro CS4, not recognizing .mpg or .m2ts files
Hello, I downloaded the 30 day trial of Premier Pro CS4.. So far it works great other than the following:
Cannot recognize .mpg or .m2ts (avchd "high def") files... It recognizes only .wma files. Is this because I have the "free" trial
version? My currect Premiere Elements 7 reads all the above files with no trouble.OK, I good with that... but what's the point of trialing if you cannot manipuate videos ?? I'd hate to spend the $700+ without being comfortable with Premier Pro CS4. Allright, I guess I'll have to make .wma files to test.
Thanks for your feedback!

How to download the trial version of adobe premier pro cs4?
I having the windows 7 32-bit os, so the premier pro cs5 was not work in my system, so i deside to run cs4, if you having any other solution for this problem plz guide me.
Frankly - utterly pointless. Upgrade your operating system to 64bit. Other than the versions that are bundled with Master Collection and Production Premium for legacy compatibility, there is simply no way to buy CS4 products any more. Feel free to download the CS4 trial as explained here, but as I already said, you are more or less wasting your time...

Adobe Premier Element 11 not working on Mavericks....
After upgrading Mavericks OS, my adobe premier element 11 purchased at Apple Store is not working and keep on crashing. Any solution?
1st - exactly which operating system?
2nd - From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•How many and what speed are your hard drive(s)... ie 5400rpm or 7200rpm or?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work? -
Premier Pro CS4 not Exporting to Media Exporter
Hello all,
We've purchased Master Suite CS5, and we are using the complementary Premiere Pro (and After Effects) CS4 on the computers (32-bit systems). Premiere Pro installed fine (as best we could tell), but we are unable to export the finished files to Adobe Media Exporter. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm trying to avoid a reinstall, if there's anything we are missing on settings right after the install. I'm hoping it's not an issue with CS4 vs. CS5.

I am running Adobe Premier PRO CS4 on a Vista 64 Bit
When importing a segment from Premiere to Encore, I ocasionally loose the audio on some of the existing segments.
It appears that it has to do with the position in the timeline.
No idea why it happens or how to fix.
I fixed the long way be importing the wav file separately, but there has to be a cause and a "real fix".
Am I doing something wrong?Sorry Harm, not used to going on forums
and ask for help, I am a total amateur.
I generate multiple segments in PPro.
I import in Encore without any problems.
I build a menu no problems.
Preview shows all is OK.
Then I decide that i want to make a change to one of the segments, or even replace it.
I return to PPro make the change or prhaps create a new segment to replace an existing one.
Import in Encore and upend to one of the existing timelines. All OK so far.
If I decide to delete the first part of the timeline and leave the first part blank and move the cursor forward to where the new segments begins audio is OK.
Now when I move the segment to the beginning of the timeline I lose the audio. Move it back somwhere down the timeline audio returns.
Can not figure out what is going on.
I hope this helps. clarify things.
I am running this on a Dell XPS PC with 4GB ram, 3MHz 2 core CPU plenty of horse power Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
This is the ONLY issue I have run into.
