CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
Regards and again many thanks

Importing psd into premiere pro cs4 failure

I am running an xp 64bit comp with the master suite, when i try to import a simple psd file into premiere i get an error message stating unsupported format or damaged file. Also another problem I am having is importing mp4's, it simply doesnt happen. It is all on a fresh brand new machine which might be missing codecs or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Yes, CMYK (can affect TIFF's too) has tripped up many. As much of my work is for print, I hit that early on, and scratched my head, until I grabbed the RGB version (usually give clients both), and viola, it worked.
Another similar tripping point is 16/32-bit PSD's. If one works with Camera RAW, they often leave the files in a higher bit-depth, for better color, Levels and Curves editing, but forget to drop this to 8-bit for Video. All of my Actions include the Mode changes, just in case they are not already in the correct Mode.
Good luck, and glad that things are working.

PS - there have been some reports of PSD Importing failing, though all else is good, when one, or more Layers, contain only a very small pixel count. This often happens when one has a very small "logo," or similar in a much larger PSD. I've not hit this, but many have. One fix is to separate out the logo, and Import it a bit larger, then Scaling in PrPro. Personally, where possible, I like to keep the Scaling to an absolute minimum in PrPro, and do as much as is possible in PS.

Importing .AVI to Premiere Pro CS4

Hi
I'm trying to edit a video that I got from my DSLR. It's in .AVI format.
When I import it to Premiere Pro CS4 and tried to play it. I can only hear the audio but the video doesn't play.
I already tried installing K-Lite Codec Pack but still the same.
I used Gspot and it says Codecs are installed.
Hope someone can help me out.

Having a CODEC installed is no guarantee that an NLE program can use it to edit. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
As John T. points out, two very popular versions of the MJPEG CODEC are the Morgan, or the MainConcept, but your DSLR might have come with exactly what you need - but you might need to look on the included DVD for it. Camera mfgrs. often tweak their particular CODEC's, and especially with the MJPEG CODEC. That should be included, but it might be a separate installation, it might install with the camera's driver, or it might install with editing/organizing software. See this ARTICLE for a bit more detail.
Good luck,
Hunt

I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
NKC

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

@Carolyn:
Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
@andy:
“Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
After deleting (before starting Safari) it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
- are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
- are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

I dont know how to get rid of the black bars on the sides of my videos. The original clips dont have them but when i import them to fcp it puts them there

The original clips dont have them but when i import them to fcp it puts black bars on the sides of my video and i cant get rid of them

Here's my final (and simple diagnosis) You have 4 x 3 footage that your are trying to screen at 16:9. This won't work.
Artistically, you have three options:
1.) Stay with the "black bars." What some of us call "Bat Wings," in the biz.
2.) Do what some editors do and create a large "fuzzy" background to extend the edges...
3.) Or transform / crop the image. (Or just use the "fill" option in the "Spatial Transform" section of the inspector
But... You WILL lose some of the image

How to Import *.FLA to Premiere Pro CS4?

is it posible to Import *.FLA to Premiere Pro CS4?
if it's able to, so How? ..please
thanx

I haven't tried it, but I'd be surprised if PR would import an .fla (the flash project file). It is not listed in the fiile formats:
CS5: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd79b3ca3b623cac97fa024001235833a568-800 0.html

SWFs are listed as okay for import in at least CS4 and CS5. But if you've got the fla, you can probably export a swf.

After Effects CS5.5 will not open a Dynamically Linked Premiere Pro sequence in the comp. window

Hi all,
I'm trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence which is in 2K and the footage has been shot as RED 5K. Adobe Media Encoder will simply not work as I am having the quite widely discussed issue where it will just 'hang' at certain points and not complete the export.
The most popular solution to this problem is to export via the Render Queue in After Effects instead. However, therein lies the problem.
I go onto After Effects. Choose File -> Dynamic Link -> Import Premiere Pro Sequence.
The box pops up, I choose the Premiere Pro Project File then select the sequence I want to export. It then appears in the After Effects project panel window like so:
However - when I try and drag this to a new composition window, one of two things have happened. Either A) nothing happens (literally, NOTHING changes) or B) as the following example shows, it seems to add it to a new composition, but the video is entirely black. I have tried rendering it and it just produces a black video.
The other thing people seem to suggest is to just import the entire Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects. I've tried this, but any titles I have added in PP force the video to fade out then back in, in the place where the title should be?? So I can't export the video this way either.
My system is as follows:
Thanks massively in advance for any help that is provided!

This is months old but I'm now having the same problem with AE and Premiere CS6 after updating last night: Dynamic linked sequence shows up in the project window in AE and even plays video if previewed, but will not drag or alt-drag into any comps, including a new comp (makes a new comp with matching settings, but empty).
Furthermore, I do actually have an earlier version of the same sequence placed in one of my AE comps, which I think was done using the same steps just prior to updating the apps last night. Did this break?
I'm a little concerned since the biggest reason I'm trying to use premiere is to eliminate the exports when adding graphics in AE.

I have created a movie in 16:9 format. I have created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I preview the movie that pane changes to 4:3 and burns the DVD as a 4:3 movie. How can I stop that, please I am in Snow Leopard, using FCE4.0.1?

I am using Snow Leopard and have created a movie in 16:9 format (SD not HDV) I created a movie which stays in the 16:9 format in fcp file, .mov fiule and MP4 file. I created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I play the movie in the iDVD preview window the iDVD pane switches to 4:3 and it burns the DVD in 4:3. How can I stop this so I get a16:9 DVD. Thanks for any help offered

Hi
As I see this I see two parts
• Howto go from FinalCut to iDVD
• Howto set iDVD right
In FinalCut Express (to 4) or Pro (to 6 - most probably 7 too)
• One has to set Anamorphic in the Browser window - menu columns
• Export as QuickTime movie .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION
In iDVD there are TWO places to set - WideScreen
- Start a NEW iDVD project - AND HERE SELECT WideScreen 16:9
- in Project - select Projectinfo
- now set WideScreen 16:9 - Here too
This use to work for me.
FOR FinalCut Pro-X - I have not a Clue - as I don't use it. SORRY
BTW - There is a good practice to before BURNING the DVD do
• Save as a DiskImage
• Test this by using DVD-Player tool
And if it is OK Size and All - then burn it by using
• Disk Util tool
• here set down burn speed to x4 or less (less burn errors = plays on more devices and better)
• Not using Memorex or NoName etc cheap media - as they usually DO NOT WORK as Video-DVDs
• I use Verbatim DVD-R as they play on more and even older DVD-players

Quality loss when importing/exporting in premiere pro cs4

Hi, I am fairly new to premiere pro cs4, but have some experience in final cut and after effects cs4, and I have a problem thats been bugging me for awhile.
I decided to try out premiere pro again [only used two or three times] I made a new project and sequence then imported a screen capture of a game I had on my desktop. when I dragged it into the timeline and looked over the footage it was blurry and not very clear at all, so i just did a quick edit and exported it, thinking the final product would have better quality. turns out the quality of the final product was even worse than it was when i was editing it.
     I used DV-NTSC widescreen 48khz preset and didn't change any of the general settings.
     the screen capture is a .mov file, 114mb, its dimensions are 762 x 502, animation codec, and 4,970 bit rate.
     i used the program ishowu you record my screen, i set it to have a 25 frame rate, max quality, and animation compression.
     I used the youtube widescreen HD preset H.264 format [I had planed to upload it as a quality test.]
Another question is can i set my own dimensions for the sequence instead of having to choose a preset? I hope I didn't leave anything out, and thanks in advance.
here's what it looks like before i edited it.
and heres after:

I use a lot of 3D animations from Mac-artists, and request the same files, MOV with the Animation CODEC. I have never had any issue with those, in my SD DVD Projects. Not sure what is going on in your case. My guess would be that it's the Scaling to the DV Preset, that is causing you an issue. In my case, the animations match my source footage, 720 x 480 w/ appropriate PAR @ 29.97 FPS, so there is no scaling taking place.
As for the Frame Size, you want to explore the Desktop Preset. Unlike all the rest, it allows you to do exactly what you want - adjust the parameters to match your source footage.
Good luck,
Hunt
