Control Surfaces compatible with Premiere Pro CC

Hello!
I am starting a new gig and I am building out a edit bay for the project.  I have only build a bay with FCP7 so I am a little hesitiant on things like peripherals.  Since Control Surfaces are new to support in Premiere please let me know what kind of experience you've all had in working with them.  I have had sucess with the Behringer BCF2000 on FCP but I've had my eye on the PreSonus FaderPort.
Can anyone lend any input or experience?
Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Picked up a FaderPort last Wednesday and I'm gonna return it on Monday.
Here's the story. First of all, if just going by the specs, Premiere is not supported by FaderPort.
FaderPort uses either the Mackie HUI or the Mackie Control protocol but it's defaulted to HUI so you have to switch it over yourself, a procedure that is not explained explicitly in the manual.
Once you do that the key mapping is "all weird" and I could not make any sense of it, so after two days of fighting it, I gave up and will return the thing (thank god for the 30-day free return policy in Sweden).
In essence, I would not go for the FaderPort with Premiere.
Honestly speaking, after some research, I am yet to find a control surface that explicitly states full compatibility with Premiere.
I was over on the Avid website and was looking at the Avid Artist Mix compatibility specs, Premiere is not even on the list. Audition is, but there is no functionality listing for it, unlike all the other supported DAWs.
I don't really know why no control surface I've seen explicitly supports Premiere, might be because Premiere only recently got the control surface functionality, but I think that both the surface makers and Adobe need to shape up and iron this out, because I'm not gonna mix a 90 minute dance show video using the mouse for a fader!
Cheers, J

  • Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

    Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

    Consternation
    The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
    1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
    The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
    This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
    2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
    But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
    with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
    with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
    And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
    Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
    In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
    Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
    I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Now that we have control surface support in Premiere Pro CC....

    Does anyone know if an older Mackie Control Universal (MCU) with just MIDI and not USB connectors would work with Premiere Pro CC? My soundcard, an Edirol / Roland UA-25EX has a MIDI in and Midi out connectors.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi Mark - I bought a NanoKontrol2 to be able to mix in Premiere Pro CC, but I'm having a nightmare trying to get it to work! Was hoping you could help me..
    I'm on Mac.. I initially installed the Korg MidiUSB drivers. I uninstalled it (based on your advice) but it doesn't perform any better.. I've added the Control Surface under preferences as a Mackie device. Here's what happens when I switch to Audio Track or Clip Mixer:
    The mute, solo, stop, play record buttons all do nothing. Markers do nothing. The sliders do nothing.
    The fader knobs at the top sort of do something.. They mostly fade left/right in the opposite direction I turn them, and it's super imprecise. Difficult to get it back to center or anything.
    What am I missing... is there a step by step procedure to setting up that I should follow (the instructions and other forums aren't helpful).

  • Premiere Elements 8 - "not compatible with Premiere Pro"?

    I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled Premiere Elements 8 program twice. Updated to 8.01. When I save a "new project" file, then try to open it with the same program I created it with (Elements 8), it will not open the file and says: "Projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Elements are not compatible." What is going on? I don't have Premiere Pro, so how could I create a file with it?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Quicktime 7.71 compatible with Premiere Pro CS5?

    I am having issues importing and exporting a clean movie.  It is showing some interlacing through certain scenes and the titles are jumpy both when they are still and during the roll. I currently have Quicktime V 7.6.8 (1675) and am wondering if I need to update this.  However I was hoping to find out if it was compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.  The Adobe site is so heavily weighted to CS5.5 I did not find anything over there.  Here are the specs for the clip.
    Here are the clips properties.
    Quicktime Movie
    Image Size 720 X 486
    Pixel Depth 24
    Frame Rate 29.97
    Average Data Rate 27.2 MB/second
    Average Frame Rate 29.98 FPS
    Uncompressed 10 bit.
    Thanks for the help.

    Dennis,
    I'm also still on CS2, and the old QT 7.3.5 worked fine with it. I resisted the 7.4.x versions, as they were doing a poor job with so many Adobe products. When 7.5.x came out, I waited, until the field reported. All seemed to be fine, so all of my computers got 7.5.5, and all is great. Though I also have iTunes (on the laptop), I have hesitated to allow any upgrades to take place, regardless.
    There are two new threads on the PrE forum, where 7.6.2 broke PrE, and 7.5.5 "fixed" those user's issues. There have been a couple of QT Player issues here too, and they involved 7.6.2. Do not know if Apple is up to 7.6.3, or not.
    Now, I am a firm believer in not trying to "fix," what ain't broke [SIC]. Unless I can directly benefit from a "feature," I am loathe to just go with the "newest." In most cases, this policy has kept me from having to roll-back, in hopes that I can fix some problem from a new and improved version of X.
    Totally OT for this thread, but do you have any insight on the differences in the Functional Content, i.e. Transistions and Effects, between the Mac and the PC versions of CS4? There have been several threads from Mac-users, and so far no one has had anything but sheer speculation. I don't know if you've seen any of those threads, but if you have any ideas, I'm sure that many Mac-users could benefit from those. [Sorry to go so OT.]
    Thanks,

  • Looking for computer compatible with Premiere Pro cs6

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking to invest in a new computer desktop that could support programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 and Photoshop cs6. I would like to go with a DELL computer if possible and I definitely need something that can support HD video editing. What would you recommend??
    My budget is max 1500$. I have been looking at the Dell XPS8500 however the graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GT640) is not listed in the tech specs required for the Premiere Pro cs6 program and I'm not sure if it's strong enough to support the Adobe programs. If it's possible, I would also like to have a re-writable BR optival drive, but it's not a necessity.
    I will be doing a lot of video editing (I am a film student) and I will be using video footage from my Canon 60D.
    Please let me know your best suggestions and if I should build my on PC, what do I REALLY need to be able to edit videos with ease (no lagging, etc.).
    Thanks!
    - Jackie

    On a low budget, a DIY or a custom system. For under $2K, you could put together a nice DIY system as John did.
    Decent Dell and HP workstations start at $3K, and on the low end, I'd recommend HP Z420 over Dell T3600.  Decent custom systems (basically DIY but put together and supported by professional integrators) also start around $3K but offer more performance for the money vs. Dells and HPs.
    Like Harm, I don't think XPS8500 is a good match for CS6.
    HTH.

  • What screen-recording software (Win8) is compatible with Premiere Pro?

    What do I need to do to record my screen in Win8 and edit the video in Premiere Pro? I've spent 16 hours trying so far, only to find screen-recorders which crash while attempting to record my screen, and other recorders which successfully write SWF and FLV files, which Premiere Pro and Media Encoder refuse to import. So, how much do I need to spend, on what product, to cut my losses and get on with this? Thanks.

    Like most other things, it takes some getting experienced. When I first did some Lightroom & Photoshop & Photoshop Elements tutorials back about 2005/6, I used the freebie & then Camtasia. At first I just couldn't get it to look like everyone else's sharp tut's. But then finally tweaked into the settings that worked on my system after a couple days of messing around, and it was great.
    I'm wondering also if the trial version is willing to output at the frame-size/resolution that the paid version can produce? Camtasia is capable of beautiful results.

  • Is CS4 compatible with Premiere Pro 1.5?

    My laptop crashed and I have an Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 project that I have not completed.
    I downloaded CS4 trial and was able to open Premiere Pro 1.5 project in CS4 but CS4 had to convert the project file since it was created in an earlier version of Premiere.
    I know that it can open in CS4 but will I have any problems down the road?

    'Usually' is not a good test for an individual case. Jim's advice is right. In your case, CS4 opened it. You got it in--now see if you can get it out. Quickly make a few of your usual editing moves, and then send a copy called 'test' out through AME in the output format you need to see if it works.

  • HD camera compatible with Premiere Pro CS3?

    What is the cheapest high definition camera compatible with PPCS3? Or, best deal for the money without spending a fortune? If not a particular brand/model, what output formats can I look for and be sure of native compatibility? I also would prefer a camera that records to an internal hard drive and/or flash card.
    Thank you very, very much in advance!

    Attention Ayn Randian,
    Getting camera advice from the user forum may prove a contentious issue.  I don't doubt you'll get the opinions of a couple of different users who have very differing views.  I'd suggest you call Adobe Tech Help or look for it in the 'Knowledgebase" where you can find a list of cameras Adobe 'supports' with CS3.  Go with what Adobe states it supports, not the regards of users on this forum.  Take for example the other post listed here.  HDV is definitely a good choice when looking into camera options.  However not just 'Any hdv camera will do', and any user that infers otherwise is not assisting you.  Going out and buying even a good hdv camera may leave you with a unit that isn't supported by Adobe and hence useless.  As previously indicated Adobe supply's a list of compatible cameras, use it.  Otherwise I suggest you do not purchase a camera unless you know for sure whether it will work with Adobe CS3.

  • Is Surface 3 compatible with Premiere Pro

    That's it!  
    Thanks for any help with this!

    Again, you do not provide enough information for anyone to answer
    You need to tell everyone EXACTLY what you plan to edit... a good place to start is the brand & model camera you will use and the exact CODEC of the resulting video files
    Another way of saying that... Standard Definition video is much easier to edit than High Definition video and 4k video will not edit at all on what you plan to buy
    Make sure your external is USB3 or eSata... USB2 does not have fast enough transfer speed for video editing
    ONE possibility is this $47 USB3 dock with fan http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station-Cooling/dp/B0055PL2YI

  • Campatible with Premiere Pro?

    I thought this was compatible with premiere pro? My recordings don't show up and aren't compatible?

    You don't know how this product works.  Forget Save As. 
    With Captivate you have to publish to an output format.  There are several to choose from, but the one you want is found under Media on the Publish dialog.  Use the drop down menu to select MP4.  That will publish the project as an MP4 video.  Then you can import your video into Premier Pro to edit or whatever.

  • Unable to batch capture with Premiere Pro CC via Kona LHi

    AJA's web site claims Premiere Pro CC is compatible with the Kona LHi card, but I can't get the two to work together properly. After repeated tries, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything AJA, but still no luck.
    I need to batch capture DV clips from some mini-DV tapes on my Sony MVR035U tape deck.  But I also need to upconvert them from 480i to 720p60 using my Kona Lhi card. I should be able to do this with Premiere Pro CC. But the PPCC Capture window won't give me any audio feedback when I select "AJA Movie Capture" in the Capture Settings pull down menu. I only get audio feedback when I enable "DV capture" but then I'm no longer able to upconvert.
    Looking forward to any feedback on this issue. Been tying all day to trouble shoot this problem.

    And now with CC June 2014 you can't even capture from HDV, I need to go back to Premiere CC 2013 for that....Adobe might think tape capture is over... but it isn't totally yet...

  • Using my JVC BR-DV3000E DVR with Premiere Pro CS5

    I have been testing out the use of my JVC BR-DV3000E DVR (Digital Video Recorder) using a new PC running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Premiere Pro CS5.  The connection is via the firewire cable supplied with the device.  It worked fine on my original PC running Windows XP with Premiere Pro 1.5.1.
    When I open the capture window in CS5 it shows the message "Device Offline" at the top of the capture window and all the transport controls are greyed out. I have played around with the settings but nothing seems to overcome the problem.  I am trying to capture miniDV footage in SD.  Has anyone come across this problem before on either the same device or similar and has anyone any suggestion on how to fil the problem please?

    Try these to see if they work
