Capture in Premier Pro CS3...please help

OK...I am BRAND NEW at Premier and "video" all together. I'm trying to Capture video footage using my Sony DCR-SX41 camcorder AND I've watched the Lynda.com video on how to "capture" footage. The instructor says that I may have problems doing this (which I certainly do), if my camera isn't set to "VCR mode"...what the HECK is that. I'm looking through every setting on my camera and I don't see a "VCR mode". Can someone help?! THANKS!
SIGNED..."TOTALLY DISCOURAGED"

The first question at the end of this link http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting includes links to software that will tell you the CODEC used for your file
If you don't have the correct CODEC installed, Premiere won't work... IF it will work at all with the files you have
When you get to the wiki link, go to the base of that "tree" and start reading... especially the tutorial section
Also... go to my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM and click the link about editing Compressed files
There may be other software that would work better with your camera

I have been attempting for awhile now to import a 45 min long rendered sequence from premier pro into encore but whenever i do so, the second the sequence is imported, the program stops responding.
how can i fix this?

Can you please give your system specs?
In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

just joined cloud computing having trouble accessing premier pro ...help please

Hi Jeff: thanks for getting back to me. My daughter was downloading
components but had downloaded the free demo last night. She
uninstalled what she thought was the demo but now we are unable to
access the Premier Pro component and no icon is present on the screenor
otherwise. This is our first time with a Mac so maybe we just don't
know where it is but are at a loss right now. Thinking I should
cancel my product purchase and then start from scratch if there is no
easy solution.
Your thoughts?

How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

Hi
As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
Any help
Thanks.

I am still not getting this.
I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

Premier Pro CS3 doesn't activate

Hi, my Premier Pro CS3 doesn't activate. Or once it kind of did but now it claims that it hasn't. I've tried to solve this with Adobe chat support personel for 4 times now and three of them said "Now it works, you won't run into problems anymore", which of course I have, and the last fellow said "It's a technical problem which we have little information of, please ask from technical support". He gave me a link to this forum. How you guys could help me if they couldn't is beyond me, but I definitely hope you can. The product is licensed for two computers in our company, and last time the chat -fellow cleaned previous activations and now it should only be licensed on my computer as my collague hasn't got time to do it yet. The error message that I'm getting is something like "Unable to connect Adobe" and then there're 3 options 1st: retry (doesn't work) 2nd: try again later (gives 30 days trial I guess) 3rd: Trial or such.. It work fine two times after the 3rd chat -fellow "fixed it", but then I got Adobe CC with photoshop and LR5 and now the problem is back. Any ideas? I would greatly appriciate any leads fixing this as I should use Premier for my company.

Hardware crashes or virus infections or simple software problems happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new setup or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything

Premier Pro CS3 Error "time.cpp-390"

Please help!
Whenever I try to manipulate my timeline in Adobe Premier Pro CS3 on a short film that is nearing it's deadline, I get this error "time.cpp-390" followed by the software crashing. Any help?
Adobe no longer provides support for their product and their tech support help line is utterly useless. I have google searched the error and searched the forums... I own 15 CS3 Creative Suites and if they think I am upgrading to CS5.5 after this customer service experience... I may be moving to FC7.
I really need to fix this!
Thank you for any help you can be.

The event viewer gives me nothing, unfortunately. Thank you for the help though! I did find a solution though...
Reinstalling the software (the ONLY solution offered by Adobe support people) was entirely a waste of time. So was the nearly two hours I spent talking to four people on their support line just trying to get them to help me. I learned that if I just kept asking for a superviser, they would keep letting me talk to someone different. Apperantly, there is no end in the number of people who are considered "supervisors" at adobe...
Adobe provided no useful assistance other then telling me to reinstall the software. I am actually more than simply dissapointed with the complete lack of support and complete lack of effort in helping me find a solution to the issue. I actively suggest people use something other than Premier Pro for no other reason than a lack of integrity by the company in supporting thise who spend thousands of dollars on their products. Anyway... I hate them and I'm tired of crying about it.
SOLUTION TIME!!!
Ok, so here is the solution. The ONLY solution was to copy the timeline and the bin into a new, fresh project file. I started a new, empty project, then copy/pasted the timeline from the old to the new project. I did the same with the emaining contents of the bin and voila! the error stopped happening. I have NO IDEA why... but I know that it works and it only took me two days to figure out. In fact, all of the projects I have that are in various stages of completion, must be coppied into new projects in order to work. In other projects, I don't get the time.cpp-390 error, it just simply will not insert a clip no matter what I do.
So, I'm glad it works... I just wish I knew what the problem was.

Premier Pro CS3 crashes with Canon 7D HD files

I am just putting together a promo for a client, shot in HD on my Canon 7D. Everything went fine until 3 minutes into the project when Premier Pro CS3 refuses to render more than 1:30 minutes. (I already changed preferences to "Optimize rendering for Memory") Also the preview window is blanced out White and Black further down the project time line (even after changing back to:"Optimize rendering for Performance". Also now Premier starts crashing everytime I add a sound track. It looks as if the Canon 7D .mov files are too unwieldy for my new 12GB iMac 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 (OSX 10.6.3).
I need some urgent help please, as my job in in jeopardy.
Should I convert my canon .mov files into H.264 first or what is the best way to work with these files?(using MPEG Streamclip)
Thanks very much for your help.

I am probably too late, but if you have Apple Pro Res 422 Codec available in MPEG Streamclip you should transcode your HD files to that and then bring it into Premiere. They will be easier to work with that way.
Good Luck!

Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera. It saves files with an .m2ts extension. This extension is not supported by CS3. Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2. When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio. How do I import the audio? Thanks.
David

I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked. I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3". There are several other files there with similar names. If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

Subject: Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3
Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
Any help would be much appreciated!

Getting random white noise in Premier Pro CS3 audio

I'm working with Premier Pro CS3 on a simple 15 minute slide show with approx. 150 pictures and 3 songs in WAV format. In each of the three songs, I'm getting 1-second bursts of white noise - on left or right or both channels - approx. 3-4 times in each song. When played outside of Premier Pro, all songs are clean with no white noise. None of the songs are too 'hot'; show three have good levels in Soundbooth. I've scanned all of the audio sections in Help and can find nothing that might explain the cause and I'd appreciate some guidance. I've worked with previous versions of Premier Pro for years and have never run into this. Thanks.

Have you updated your Creative driver? That would be one of the first things that I would do.
Next, in Soundbooth, do you see the noise in the Waveform? In PrPro, when you zoom in both vertically and horizontally on the Audio Track, do you see it in the Waveform?
Some folk have had great luck using ASIO4ALL as their ASIO driver. It has cleared up many issues with a broad range of equipment. I do not recall your exact problem, but then I might have missed that one. Note: after you download and install ASIO4ALL, you'll need to go to Audio Hardware and set it as your Input and Output. This driver has been very helpful on the Audition forum, and with all sorts of issues and some very esoteric hardware.
Hope that something helps, and good luck,
Hunt

HT204406 iTunes Match saying I'm limited to 5 devices...but I don't have 5 devices and won't work on my MacBook Pro. Please Help!

I've just got a new MacBook Pro, and want to have iTunes Match on it. But when I go to 'add this computer' in iTunes on the MacBook, a message comes up saying I've reached my limit of Match being on 5 devices. This makes no sense because I only have match on my iPad and my old Windows laptop and nothing else.
Out of curiosity, I turned off iTunes Match on my iPad to see what would happen, but I still cannot get Match on my MacBook Pro.
Please help!

Do a backup before proceeding.
Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

Setup capture source Premier Pro CS4

I am using Vista (64bit) on an HP Pavillion. Just bought licensed version of CS4 and trying to set up the video capture in Premier Pro CS4. I bought a Pinnacle DVC101 converter but the Capture setup will not recognize it. When I go to Settings/Device Control/Options it tells me the unit is "Offline". Does anyone have some suggestions?

Unfortunately, it won't. It uses a USB connection and Pr only accepts Firewire connectons (natively) for capture. Check out the Grass Valley/Canopus ADVC-110 as a possible solution.
