Canon 7D grainy footage in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi there,
I recently updated to CS6, I have some footage filmed on Canon 7D in full HD. I import into Premiere Pro 720p sequence and the untreated footage looks extremely grainy at full resolution playback. The same footage looks absolutely fine in Windows Media Player. Can you tell what wrongs?
Thanks,
Martin

Canon XA25 AVCHD footage in Premiere Pro CC ?

I shot some footage in AVCHD with the Canon XA25 and I would like to edit it in Premiere Pro CC. In the Media Browser though, there's no thumbnail and the clip is just called "private" - In FCP7 I can just open the log and transfer and easily convert to ProRES. Is there a way to easily deal with clips from this camera in Premiere? Thanks!

Hi TheWiseman,
Thanks for reply,
On the SD card is one file (the single video clip I shot) named "private" and that's it. I was looking at the clip in Premiere while still on the SD card, but you are saying to copy it to my HD first? Premiere stil won't know what to do with it though, right? Thanks.
The private file is actually folder and if you see in the MAC 10.8.5 as quicktime file.
Please right click on the Private and click show package content and you will see all the other folder inside that.
After renaming private folder to Private1 and you will also see all the contents.
Please reply if this works.
Thanks,
Sandeep

P2/MXF Footage in Premiere Pro CS6 constantly losing its linkage.

P2/MXF Footage in CS6 constantly losing its linkage. I'll relink the clips as the 'locate footage' box pops up, then a couple of minutes later, all the clips in the bin are showing the question mark and asking me to locate the clips again. It does this over and over. This happens on both my desktop machine and on my laptop.
Not having this problem with any of the file types at this point.

Just saw an official reply on another similar question asked at the same time as mine and that Adobe is aware of it and it's being worked on.
Thanks.

Editing Canon 600D DSLR footage in Premiere Pro CS4

I am considering purchasing the new Canon 600D DSLR camera to capture HD video files. I understand that this camera captures H.264 video files but am getting very confused as to whether or not CS4 can edit this file type.
Some websites say I need to get CS5 and CS4 can't handle these files while others say CS4 will work just fine (and yet others say I need to transcode the files into a new file format for CS4 to use!).
I'm more than a little confused... please can someone from here give me some help? Is there anyone using a DSLR with CS4?If so please let me know how...
Thanks for reading :-)

I believe CS4 has trouble handling H.264 wrapped in a mov, so its not so much the camera itself.
You could consider getting Cineform Neoscene to convert the files and edit with Cineform avi's.

Can't Preview HDV Capture In Premiere Pro CS6

I can't preview my HDV footage in Premiere Pro CS6.
I know I'm not supposed to be able to see anything in the Capture Window when I'm actually capturing HDV, but it says I should be able to see my footage when I am just previewing in the Capture Window.

Thanks!

Thanks Ann!
I just figured it out.
I'm using 2 monitors in extended mode.
One is a VGA flat panel and the other is a DVI flat panel.
I had the Capture Window open on my VGA monitor.
When I moved the Capture Window to my DVI monitor, I got a preview picture.
It's funny, when I move the Capture Window from the DVI to the VGA while playing, playing stops.
And when I move it bak to the DVI, it continues to play.
Maybe because the VGA isn't digital?
Both monitos are hooked up to my GTX 470 GPU, so it seems wierd.
Any feedback on this would be welcomed.
Thanks again!

MXF issues with Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I am having trouble using Canon XF300 MXF files in Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.2. I am using the media browser (tried icon and list view) to import footage (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility). I can import and play audio and video for all files under 2.05 GB but PPro limits any file longer than 30 seconds to 30 seconds.
Alos, Canon cameras cut files over 2.05 GB into separate MXFs. Most of my footage are interviews over 10 minutes long so I have 3 or 4 separate MXF spanned files for each clip. Premiere is having most trouble handling these files. First of all it limits them to 30 seconds each. Then, when I import them and drag them into a sequence it will only play audio from the first spanned file, even if video from the second sapnned file is playing.
I have tried merging all spanned files using Canon XF Utility's 'Export to MXF' function. As a result I have one 10 minute long MXF file but when I import it to PPro it still limits it to 30 seconds.
I made the change to PPro because of the ability to edit various formats in a single senqunce without tanscoding. I recently purchased a Sony FS700 and FCP7 couldn't really handle the MTS (or clipwrapped movs). Premiere handles them perfectly but can't handle the MXFs. So currently I am finding myself going into FCP7, logging and transfering the MXFs and transcoding them to .movs using the Canon XF plugin for FCP7 and then importing those to Premiere (they work fine this way)...but of course its a hassle to do with hundreds of clips per shoot.
I also noted that VLC 2.0.x versions can't handle the MXFs so well (video plays fine, audio at double the speed) but VLC version 1.0.3 handles them ok as long as I dont forward the video.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Computer specs: Mac Pro 2.66GHz 12 core, 16 GB RAM running latest Snow Leopard update.
Clips shot at: 29.97 fps, 50 Mpbs, HD 1920x1080.

Try skipping any special software and just use Windows Explorer (or Finder).

Inquiring about mpg4 rapping from sony xdcam to premiere pro cs6.

I am currently using a sony ex1r and am trying to import the footage into premiere pro cs6, I copied the file to the desktop (BPAV) file, but the
software premier Pro cs6 keep saying that there is no audio/video files or stream not supported, i.e. corrupted files after I tried to use the media Browser. etc. Is there a better way or can I get some help I tried to see if there are any upgrades in the system I am curently using verson 6.05 I am not aware if there are any other uptates available. I cannot find anything on line to
correct this situation, are you able to point me in the right direction, you can email me with some way of resolving this situation at [email protected]

You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro. That's what I did. So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate. This program is like After Effects. I haven't started playing with that yet.
Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2. That's a mouth full. Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express. The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate. The Express version is still a great program for adding effects. For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice.
I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files. So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
Right now I have CS5 and CS6. Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

Canon HF100 Premiere Pro CS6

Hello there. We're a Media and Film department in a UK school, and, having just upgraded to Premiere Pro CS6 from Final Cut Express, we are experiencing difficulties importing footage from our Canon HF100 cameras. We are using OSX 10.8.5. If there is a specific preset that needs to be used, or if the answer is elsewhere on these forums, we'd really appreciate a pointer!
We can work around this using iSkySoft, but it would obviously be more convenient to be able to import directly from the cameras.
It would also be useful to know which cameras other folk are using, for when we need to replace our hardware.
Cheers,

Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor. Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

Replace footage will crash Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I have a serious problem with Premiere Pro CS6 when I want to replace footage in the project. I need to replace .R3D files to ProRes files that I encoded via MediaEncoder.
When I replace the clip (.R3D to ProRes) in project browser, Premiere crashes every time announcing:
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down..."
When reopening the project (the recovery project Premiere Pro tried to save while crashing), the name of the file is still the same, but the content of the file has changed to the ProRes clip (they are different in resolution). When I replace the clip again, the name of the clip also changes and does not crash - however the clip was already changed even the name wasn't.
If I then replace another clip (.R3D to ProRes), Premiere will crash again. This happens every time I try to replace a new clip (.R3D to ProRes).
If I replace the other way around (ProRes to .R3D), Premiere will not crash.
Please help. This is very annoying problem, and I need this resolved as soon as possible!
Thanks!
(MacPro, OSX 10.7.5, PremierePro CS6)

Hi again,
nobody has an idea why this happens?
Well, I made further experiments, sent crash reports to Adobe, no reply.
The problem is still: when trying to replace footage (.R3D => AppleProRes), PremierePro crashes every time.
The following announcement pops out (to click OK):
Adobe Premiere Pro
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
Earlier PremierePro crashed and had to force-quit. Now I just have to quit it - it stays on but does not work and makes a pop-up (to click Continue):
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/slightlybuilt/PremierePro/UIFramework/Make/Mac/../../Src/Worksp ace.cpp-209]
Again, if trying to replace footage the other way around (AppleProRes => .R3D), PremierePro does not crash.
Please, help soon! Thanks.

Canon 300 footage crashing Premiere PRO 6 on Mac PRO

As stated above... C300 footage crashes Premiere Pro when using on my Mac Pro. It happens when you scrub through the footage. I have done plenty of searches and everyone with a Mac Pro seems to be having the same problem. The footage also has glitches in the frames when it plays and renders. The only solution I have found is to transcode the footage to something else, which kind of defeats the purpose of using Premiere Pro 6 in the first place. I know this is a problem specific to the Mac Pro because my Macbook Pro does not have this issue when dealing with C300 footage. Does anyone know of any actual solution to this other than transcoding all the footage?

Hello,
Because you've said you already "re-downloading":
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"?
Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

How can I make ShadowPlay footage play nice in Premiere Pro CS6?

nVidia recently released the beta for their new capture technology, "ShadowPlay" which makes it a lot easier for youtubers like me to capture footage of PC games. However, Premiere Pro CS6 fails to handle the audio well, throwing it way out of sync. This apparantly happens because Premiere doesn't support variable framerates especially well. I have no interest in editing in Vegas Pro, but i'd be happy to take the extra time to make the file work well in Premiere. I'm not highly knowledgable though so I'm not sure what, if any, the process would be to do this, so I'd greatly appreciate any help!

>figure a VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE'S forums would know more about editing video
Yes... and everything I know (plus Steven in #2) is that PProCS6 does not do well with variable frame rate video... and is not likely to ever be updated to add that capability
Which is why I suggested contacting nVidia... since the file format is from them, not from Adobe
I don't/won't use PProCC so have NO idea if it works better with your type of file
I think you can try PProCC free for 30 days, so you can find out for yourself... check in the Cloud forum to find out about 30 day trials

Importing graded footage back to Premiere Pro CS6

I am trying to color correct/grade my clips. I sent it to Speedgrade through Premiere Pro (CS6) but after rendering it out as a DPX, and trying to send it back to Premiere Pro (DPX as image sequence), not all graded clips were there. (Clip is 4:40 min) but only 1:39 min is what was imported back to Premiere Pro.

I've found on occasion that I've tried to export and didn't catch that the export dialog thought I was only trying to export something highlighted or had another setting for "area selected". I would guess you've run afoul of something similar ... or a box that was checked you might not even realize was there. As I just found trying to (for the first time in a year) export an EDL from PrPro to Sg. I had to puzzle out something like three different places the two programs were trying to help me before I could get the blasted EDL and footage both imported to the same Sg timeline.
As an alternative to DPX there is of course two different EDL processes ... one where you simply export an EDL and then after creating your Sg project, navigate to that through Sg's Media panel, drag it to the timeline, then using the Media Panel navigate to the folder containing your clips, then use the "load from desktop" option to populate your timeline.
The other ... you export both the EDL and the sequence from timeline, and then put one on the new Sg project timeline, drag the other on top. It takes a bit longer to do the export from PrPro of the footage which is probably not needed most of the time.
I've just put up on the forum an explanation of how to do this with progressive footage and avoid the hiccups the two programs can throw at you. The first one ... if all your media is in a single folder-tree ... is very quick & easy. That EDL export is nearly instantaneous, and the clips load over it just bango ... now, I used to have problems at times exporting (rendering) a timeline out of Sg. I don't know if an EDL process can work sending grading back to PrPro, I think you'd have to render out. But many people did that all the time without problems.

Does Premiere pro CS6 let you edit footage in After effects CC?

I was thinking about buying after effects cc but then i wonder if you still can have a good workflow between adobe after effects cc and adobe premiere pro cs6?
/Ted

Well, if you want just After Effects CC 2014, it is $20 per month. To get After Effects and Premiere Pro would be $40. But getting everything, almost all of the Adobe products, is only $10 more for a total of $50.
If you are in the USA. Otherwise it can be much more expensive.
To buy After Effects CS6 to work with your Premiere Pro CS6, it would cost around $900.

Premiere Pro CS6 serious error has occurred, crash troubleshooting

ERROR MESSAGE: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project
Problem: Starting last night Premiere would crash with this error message. This has been happening increasingly more over the past couple weeks, but starting last night and today - it has happened so much that I cannot get more than 5 minutes of work done without it crashing. It has happened on saves, renders, playback, switching active timelines, removing the mojo effect from a clip, and while sitting dormant. I’ve had the computer less than a year and hope that it is not a serious problem with my RAM or graphics card.
Using Premiere Pro CS6 - subscription based with latest update installed

Using all DSLR footage from Canon 6D, Canon 5D mk II, and Canon 60D and audio from external recorders (.mov, .WAV, .wav files)
Third-party effects or codecs: Use Pluraleyes 3.0 and Mojo color from Red Giant
I realize this is a general error message and there are several forums posted from mostly more than 5 months ago. I cannot seem to find an answer that will help me. Here is what I have already tried:
1. updated to Maverick
2. checked for updates for Adobe software
3. Cleared the Media Cache
4. Switched from CUDA to software only
5. Updated CUDA and switched back to CUDA in premiere
6. Held SHIFT while starting up (nothing seems to happen or pop up on screen at least)
Next:
—Going to uninstall Premiere and reinstall.
Any suggestions or possible fixes are great appreciated. What should my next step be?

UPDATE:
STEP 1:
Uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere - worked without crashing for the longest time since yesterday. After 1 hour of running - it crashed once again with same error message and same report (see below).
Same as before:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
STEP 2:
--Updated the RED GIANT plugin "mojo" (minor coloring software)
This worked for less than 10 mintues and then crashed again - but this time with different exeception details (I'm not sure what these mean)
Crashed Thread: 2
Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000
Application Specific Information:
*** CFRelease() called with NULL ***
STEP 3:
Going off of the idea that it may be the plugin causing the issue (since it needed to be updated) I went into the project and deleted all of the files containing this effect in this project file (note: i have used this for 10+ projects on this computer with no trouble).
I thought it was fixed, from about 8:00 PM - 11:45 PM no crash - then as I was playing back clips - crashed again.
I have been loosely following these guidelines: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-mac.html
I am not sure where to go from here - should I continue into the "advanced troubleshooting" even though I'm not sure if any of these things are related.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have launched two other Premiere Project Files (from previously completed projects) successfully without crashing. I tested a few things in the projects before returning to the problem project. If I suspect there is a problem with the file in particular - how do I find out what is causing the problem?
--I already removed MOJO effects thinking that could be the issue from the last files that were
--I have already gone back to a previous version from a week ago and imported the Sequence I needed. Still crashed.
I have sent 5+ reports to Adobe on the crash. Any feedback into this is much appreciated.
