Converted .avi to .mp4 for Premiere Pro CS6 but receive a header error.. help?

When I imported .avi video file into Premiere Pro CS6, only the audio played. I used VLC to convert the .avi file to .mp4 through a batch file. Now when I try to open the .mp4 file into Premiere Pro CS6, I receive an error "File cannot be opened because of a header error".
I've tried converting the .avi file to .mov and .wav but they receive the same header error.
I've also tried opening in Audition and resaving it as .wav pc but it still won't import to Premiere.

First, depending on what is inside the AVI file, it should/might be "naturally" supported by Premiere

Is there no User Guide for Premiere Pro CS6?

I am a FCP7 refugee trying to decide between Avid and PP CS6. After waiting for a few weeks for it to be available, I have been lookiig through the PP CS6 Help PDF. I was surprised to see that it is not a complete reference guide documenting the features of the application, but instead a mish-mash of short descriptions, with numerous links to videos, documents from earlier versions, and other external locations where one has to go to get the actual information--not very helpful as a guide to the application. Is there actually no comprehensive user guide from Adobe in a single document or PDF? Or is the only way to get information about the application to navigate through all these disjointed materials?
If there is such a user guide, I would very much like to know where I can find it. If there isn't, I would have to count this as a very big factor in favor of deciding to go with Avid. This is particularly true given the absence of any current third-party books on PPro CS6, although such books are hardly a substitute for a well written and comprehensive user guide, something which is also true of the help PDF.

Groppler wrote:
Since the links are to the on-line CS6 help and the PDF version of that help, both of which are a collection of materials concerning CS5, CS5.5 and CS6...
Yes, for CS6, new information was added to the CS5/CS5.5 documentation. We had to go this route because we are working with brand new documentation software. There simply was not enough time to integrate the software and complete a whole new set of documentation. Believe me, it was enough of a challenge integrating the old system with the new one--in addition to creating the articles for new features, and the connective tissue between them.
There is only one person that does the docs for Premiere Pro, and that is me. I have limitations and guidelines I must follow, so I hope you understand.
Groppler wrote:
...with links to external sources you have to go to for information, I guess the answer to my question is that there is no true user guide for Premiere Pro CS6 that one can go to for comprehensive information about the application...
No, this is the Help. It has BOTH the comprehensive details about the software and community content where you can see how people are actually using the software. If the Help is lacking details about any feature, please alert me and I will include those details. I work directly from the engineering documentation and include every detail I can about any feature.
Since my time is limited, I don't always have time to make supplemental materials like video tutorials, or articles. That's why I link to them. The crucial info is included in the docs, the community content is material that I personally approve as helpful and supportive to the documentation.
Groppler wrote:
...without sorting through irrelevant information or navigating to all these third-party sites to see if they have information you are looking for.
None of the community content is irrelevant. I sort through it all very carefully. Community content is supportive and helpful to users. It should not be necessary to sort through these tutorials as the info should be right in the docs. Community content is supplemental. If you don't find the information you were looking for in the docs themselves, create a comment right on the Help page and I'll see to it that it gets fixed ASAP.
Groppler wrote:
I am quite surprised by this and think the absence of a real user guide is a significant shortcoming of Premiere Pro, not shared by other products on the market.
It is a real user guide. I'm sorry you don't feel that way. If you want a doc with only Premiere Pro CS6 info in it, I can understand that request. Unfortunately, that was impossible for this round.
If you have any suggestions for the next round of Help documentation, a better place than here would be the Community Help forum. Please voice your concerns there, as the people that actually make decisions about Help are hanging out there.

How to obtain Video and Non Video Serial Keys for Premiere Pro CS6

Discovered that certain codec presets (specifically the AVCHD codec) was not available for Premiere Pro CS6 installed under Creative Cloud for Enterprise.
Understand there are two different serial numbers for use in installation. One of these serial numbers is labeled "Video," and one is labeled "Non-Video.
Where are these serial numbers located? How are the serial numbers obtained?

Hello Ann,
Appreciate your reply..
Here is where some additional confusion arises (reference bottom part referring to Video Serial Keys) Adobe support said that these Video Keys are to be purchased from the reseller (which makes no sense)
Error "...a sequence that could not be opened"
So, if I understand from your replies and what I have read - it is of the belief that by de-activating and re-activating will address the issue of the missing codecs. Do you believe this to be correct as well?
Thank you

PProHeadless.exe has stopped working for Premiere Pro CS6

I have had no problems with it until today.
The video I was trying to produce was about 31 minutes long.
I have had this PC less than a year and have never had PProHeadless.exe stop working for Premiere Pro CS6.
what causes this to happen, has the last batch of updates caused this?
PC specs:
Windows 7 64bit fully updated
MoBo Asus P6X58E-WS
i7 quad core 950
24 gigs of Ram
10,000 rpm's Hard Drives
very few things installed on this PC to avoid application conflicts, and I had no other applications running.
Thanks for any input,

Exported Interlaced Video by SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs6

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Project Setting Sequence is XDCAM HD422 1080i25(50i)
I tested the Plugin AVI(Uncompress) ,output interlaced video OK no problem.
I use Premiere Pro CS6 r2 SDK
I am trying to build a plugin for interlaced video.
Problem occured when I modified by the program below:-
SDK_Exporter.cpp at subroutine RenderVideoFrame
for interlaced video with PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_8u or PrPixelFormat_VUYA_4444_8u
and set
renderParms.inRenderQuality = kPrRenderQuality_High;
fieldType.value.intValue = prFieldsUpperFirst;
mySettings->exportParamSuite->ChangeParam(exID, 0, ADBEVideoFieldType, &fieldType);
renderParms.inDeinterlace = kPrFalse;
renderParms.inDeinterlaceQuality =kPrRenderQuality_High;
SequenceRender_GetFrameReturnRec renderResult;
    resultS = mySettings->sequenceRenderSuite->RenderVideoFrame(mySettings->videoRenderID,
                                                                videoTime,

    mySettings->ppixSuite->GetPixels( renderResult.outFrame, PrPPixBufferAccess_ReadOnly, &frameBufferP);
In frameBufferP is only progressive frame not intelaced frame
Please advise what should I do in order to get interlaced frame.

I just bought a year abbo for premiere pro. But I cannot run any application. I only see adobe cloud everywhere. Where is my app? Does anyone know?

Hello,
Can anyone help?
I just bought for a lot of money premiere pro. But I cannot see the application on my account. What is the problem?

Have you downloaded and installed Premiere Pro (or any app other than Creative Cloud).
In case you're under the impression that the Creative Cloud is actually cloud-based, with programs running on a server in the cloud somewhere, that's not the case (with a few exceptions).
If you haven't installed PPro, open the Creative Cloud app, go to the Apps tab, find Premiere Pro, and click Install.

Converting AVI to MP4 for FREE

Does anyone have a FREE program that can convert AVI (as well as other formats) to MP4, for my iPod Touch?

Hi,
look here http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22923/perian
But if your signature is correct, it is of no use for you on a Windows PC, as it is Mac-only.
As for Windows (and/or Mac OSX as well) have a look at MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

Converting avi to mp4 for ipod??

how can i convert my avi clips from my digital camara to mp4 for my ipod

Drag the files into the open iTunes window and then convert them. Some AVI files cannot be played in iTunes and you may lose the sound upon conversion; if either happens, use Perian and MPEG Streamclip respectively.

Can't deactivate premiere pro cs6 from admin user...help??

I am a teacher with a number of seats on my premiere license. We have upgraded machines and I need to deactivate those machines in order to activate the new ones. Running in to a dialogue box on a couple that says I need to deactivate as the admin user. Trouble is I am in as the admin user when it tells me this. I read to enable root user but this does not solve the problem either. Adobe needs a place where I can go and enter a serial number and it will allow me to deactivate machines associated with it. This is maddening.....

=========
It may have already been uninstalled. Would you like to remove Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5 from the program list?"I click No, because going into my Programs Folder, I see that nothing has been removed
===========
This is the part I suggested you click YES...instead of NO... to see if removing the support then allows you to remove the whole program.. kinda a 2 step process...dont know if it will work or not.
You can call adobe support and explain the problem and they might be able to walk you through some process that works okay.. I would try that even though it may take some time to go through it.
I don't see how trying to reinstall could hurt you but I kinda doubt it will work...but why not try it??
Sorry, but I can't think of anything else ... except messing around with the "install / remove " programs stuff as mentioned above...

Need advice on Hardware & Disk Setup for Premiere Pro CS6

I am about to purchase a Mac Pro and after reading threads on hardware requirements & different disk setups I am still a little unsure which way to go. If someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly this system will be used primarily for the following tasks: Editing AVCHD media (Sony HDR-XR550) and burning to disk with light editing, Creating Web Videos from AVCHD Media, editing images in Ps & Lr. This is strictly a hobby for me and I will also use the machice for some light AutoCad work.
The current system specs are as follows:
3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 16GB (4x4GB) RAM, Bay 1: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 2: 512GB SSD, Bay 3: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 4: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB, Two 18x SuperDrives.
My questions are:
1.     Reading the thread on Generic Guidelines for Disk Setup I plan to use the 4 Disk setup described. If I only have 1 SSD, should I make it C: D: E: or F:? My priority would be the editing speed rather than the exporting speed.
2.     If I can stretch my budget to include another SSD then again, should I make it C: D: E: or F:?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Harm (& Jim),
After much deliberation I agree with you and Jim. I am not sure what I was thinking!
I have decided to build my own machine based around your reccomendations in previous posts. Could you please look over the system specifications and offer any suggestions or comments?

How do you import mp4s into Premiere Pro CS6?

When attempting to import an mp4 file, I get a dialog box indicating that the import failed because the file does not contain video or audio streams. The file is undamaged, it plays fine on windows media player, both audio and video. I tried loading it into Adobe Media Encoder and had the same problem. Thoughts?
