Cs4 Premiere/Encore

I've been working on a project and have made a sequence - but when I try to watch it on the program monitor - the footage plays jumpy and I cannot finish my edit. I use Windows7 (64) with the NVidia and have ample storage. Any suggestions?

You'll get better answers in teh product forums. and by all means, do provide proper technical info like system specs.

  • CS4 Premiere (and Encore) crash on opening with blue screen

    I have been having a terrible time with CS4 Premiere Pro crashes over the last month or so.  Initially PP would just disappear from the screen as it was opening up, and if it didn't crash it was quite often after the Matrox RT.X2 logo came up after selecting the project to open.  I had less problems starting a new project than opening a previous one.  Sometimes it would open and crash during the work process without warning...forcing me to save after every change.  Then it got worse.
    I looked to the Adobe CS4 bulletin on crashes and it was suggested to update drivers.  The first driver I looked at needed an update (Nvidia Quadro FX1500 256 MB) so I had their download service do the work and installing.  During the process it stopped with 'Nvidia display pannel extension cannot install due to a version mismatch.  Resetting the display drives may solve this problem' without any suggestions on how to do that.  I have 2 Dell 24" monitors slightly different from each other but worked great before all this.
    From this point everything got even worse.  System Restore to the previous day did nothing.  Everytime I tried to open Premiere (or Encore) the whole computer crashed (blue screen) and restarted automatically.  I can no longer play any video without crashing -- not an AVI, MOV, WMV, etc.  Not even a finished DVD will play on the computer now.
    I have the latest versions updates of Premiere Pro 4.2.1 as well as the Matrox RT.X2 tools.
    While the Nvidia driver update situation made the situation worse, I was having problems with Premiere Pro CS4 way before this with 'instant' crashes and no warnings.  Strange that Photoshop CS4 works just fine as this has evolved into a video problem...and I need your help to get PP running again.
    I'm not a techie so please reply in novice language.  When CS4 came out it took Matrox quite a while to get off 'beta' tools upgrade so I waited until it was off beta (April 2010) and had my computer hardware expert upgrade my computer with CS4 and the new Matrox install -- way too technical for me to do.  It worked great...until about a month ago when all this started.
    I don't think the equipment I have now on my 2006 computer would work with CS5 - maybe you can look below and tell me.
    For reference, here is my equipment:  XP Professional SP 3; AMD Athlon 64 x 2 dual core processor; 4800+  2.41 GHz, 3.25 GB RAM; Nvidia Quadro FX1500 256MB; 2 Dell monitors - 2407WFP and ST2410; Matrox RT.X2; 2TB WE Raid Edition SATA 16MB; Blu-Ray burner BDR-2058BK; Pioneer 111 Dual Layer DVD Rewrite Burner; Sound Blaster Audigy4 24 Bit; Built in FD controller 2 IDE on the main board.

    Thanks harm for your suggestions but I'm lost.  I am not a techie.  Went to your thread on building a new computer and it was way way over my head...so I'm back here asking for your suggestions as I couldn't even figure out how to copy/paste my equipment listed above and post this message there instead.
    Took my box back to the vendor who put it together for me in 2006 for $6000 and he's going to try and get it up and running again for me.  I told him about your recommendation to lose the Matrox and he doesn't think it's the problem if I want fast rendering, etc.  He says he's used RT.X2 in a ton of systems he's put together and work just fine.  He's going to try getting my present computer running, first of all without any new additions and then make suggestions.  It ran beautifully under CS2, so much so I skipped CS3 and was very late adding on CS4 ... and that's when the problems started.  Perhaps CS4 was just too demanding for my 2006 equipment...which probably means CS5 is even more demanding.
    So....two questions:
    1. If I upgrade what I've got, where do I start?  Or is it worth upgrading or better to start brand new (budget problems no doubt)
    2. If I start brand new, what do I put in the new box?  I looked at your 3 different cost areas and the budget config is probably not what I need but warrior level too high.  Even the middle road you recommened looks a little low for what I want to do making BR disks, but you would know.
    I assume some of the current equipment I've got could still be used, perhaps even the Matrox if that keeps costs down by not having to replace it with something else.  There is a new C drive for my programs and a new 2TB internal hard drive for files (which I mirror backup to an external 2TB drive).
    Could you make some build recommendations that I could give to my vendor?  Many thanks.
    Brian
    ps...how do you copy/paste on this forum? 

  • Premiere Encore and Premiere Clip Notes Problem

    I am having a problem that appears when exporting from Premiere (CS4) to Encore or to Clip Notes.
    The opening of my projects is the FBI warning still; this transitions to an imported 'produced by' animation; this then transitions to a 'directed by' still which then a dip to black for moment; then street sounds start -- all so far so good. Very quickly after the street sounds start in black, the actual video footage commences and this is where the problem is.
    What one sees is a small image off to the lower right of the screen - the image that should be in full screen is re-positioned off screen to the right and is also lower. The only image one is seeing is the upper left quadrant of the image one should be seeing, the rest of the image, being off-screen, is not seen. This occurs for 16 frames then it snaps to the correct position.
    Key points:
    This is not occurring in Premiere. It occurs ONLY after exporting to Encore through the ADL (watching it in Preview), AND it occurs when it is exported to Clip Notes.
    It does NOT occur if the file is exported to Encoder then checked by burning it to DVD via a third-party burn program.
    There are no keyframes in the clip in question. And there are no keyframes in the clips prior.
    We have checked the properties of the clip in question, the clip prior, and the clip after, and they are all identical in terms of position, etc.
    Anyone got a clue?

  • Choppy Video is CS4 Premiere Pro and no video on disc when burned in nero6

    First let me say know i am anitquated. My sys is a Dell XPS/Dimension 400/9150 with a nVidia 256MB PCI Express x16 GeForce 6800; Processor, 80547, PENTIUM D SMITHFIELD FOR DESKTOPS..., 820 SKT-T, Male; Pentium® D CPU 2.80GHz 2.79 GHZ, 3.00GB of RAM and i am using Adobe CS4 Premiere. Have had no problems until recently. the little problem is that when burning avi's thru nero 6 all of a suddent there is no video on the disc. The BIG problem is I produce a weekly TV show on the ABC affiliate. We've just switched to HD and now when I am editing the video is choppy - almost stop action. happens not on the raw feed but as you add layers. So the two question are a)what can Ido so I can get back to work, and b) if i have to replace the card, whats both the best and cheapest to handle my needs. Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    You did not tell us about your system's I/O, i.e. the HDD's, their size, speed, free space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
    Now, how to you get the material from PrPro to Nero?
    Have you tried the great authoring program, Adobe Encore? It ships with PrPro and is a wonderful program for authoring DVD's.
    As a starter, I would Export as elemental/elementary streams, i.e. non-muxed, video-only and audio-only, and then Import the video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and the audio-only file as an Asset. From the Project Panel (looks about like the one in PrPro), just drag your audio-only file to the appropriate Timeline, where it snaps into place.
    Encore ships and installs with a bunch of Functional Content: Menus, Buttons, etc., and these can be easily accessed and brought into the Project from the Library Panel. You can then Edit in Photoshop for about anything that you would want.
    As for why Nero might be messing up, I have never even seen that module in Nero. Maybe others can help.
    Good luck,

  • Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for running CS4 Premiere Pro

         Greetings, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not!  I am currently running CS4 Premiere Pro (ver 4.2.1) with HD 1080 footage. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavillon) using Vista 32-bit OS. It has an AMD 9600 Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz (ADM phenom 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 external HD.
         I use PremPro CS4 for video editing of my HD footage. I am a serious amateur, and not a professional. HP says that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and go from 4 GB ram to 8 GB, but 8GB is the max. So my question is... will an upgrade like this (Wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me  significantly faster or better processing? And is Windows 7/64 Ultimate a more stable platform on which to run CS4?
         Eventually, I will go to CS5; but not on this computer.  Probably late next year for the new computer.
         Thanks for any advice.  Jean

    Jean,
    I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
    One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
    Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.

  • CS4 Premiere locking up royally on little mts files on Mac Pro Lion 10.7, is CS5.5 any better

    Sorry for long title, got the boxes mixed up.
    Having trouble working with HDV mts files in CS4 Premiere on a new 12 core MAC Pro with Lion 10.7 OS
    Have used Adode CS3 and now CS6 at my office regularly. CS6 can work with about any file type.
    Found this ClipWrap program on online and have re-wrapped these mts files into .mov files. They do open and must be each rendered out and do so slowly. Scrubbing the video doesn't do well - locks it up.
    Very certain I have plenty of Computer power, is CS4 a dog? It will open CS6 projects that I bring home from work and do basic cutting on with M2T files and MPEG2 HD video.
    I also do not see near as many Transition and Effects options for Audio or Video in CS4 as I had back with the old CS3 when I use it - very puzzling.
    Would CS5.5 give me more optimal performance with this MAC? Do I need a third party card? We now run full HD on CS6 at work without using the Blackmagic card I have. Should uninstall and re-install the software? I am a video editor, just doesn't seem to perform like it should.
    I am considering looking into the Final Cut X after this. Thoughts on this subject welcome.
    Thank you.

    Anything??

  • Bridge/Prelude/Premiere/Encore, Arrrgh! Workflow/Asset Managment overload! Help.

    I've been viewing a tutorial series in addition to some random one's on the web, mostly covering functionality, but what isn't clear to me (yet) has to do with asset management and workflow. I know enough to understand that these two areas are the most important aspects of the whole process; without organized asset management and an orderly, systematized, hierarchical approach to accomplishing tasks the creative side of things will suffer dramatically at the worst time.
    Regarding asset management, I have three separate drives for for audio, video, and stills. All the files reside in their original locations except for video files that I originally had stored on my stills drive. These video files were copied to my video drive into the Adobe Folder> Premiere Projects Folder> Project Name Folder. In addition, I have a folder on the video drive called "Raw Footage" that I'm using for random footage unrelated to any project; sort of a personal stock footage resource.
    As a practice project for the tutorial series I'm using assets from a 45 day Rail Pass tour I took a few years ago. Assets include SDDV. m2ts, and mov, files with different sample rates, in addition to jpg and psd files.
    Where would the following programs come into play and at what point in the workflow does the transition from one to the other begin and/or overlap?
    Bridge
    Prelude
    Premiere
    Encore
    Where does Bridge come into play and when?
    There are folders with m2ts files on my stills drive that I've copied and pasted to my video drive. Should I have used Prelude to ingest and "Transfer Clips To Destination" ("destination" being my video drive)? Should I have transcoded to a less resource hungry format and, if so, does Prelude create an EDL that can be used to conform the final edit replacing the low rex clips files the the original higher rez files?
    I know I have to capture SDDV as DV (not HDV) with Premiere but what else do I need to know about such capture? As far as actual editing goes the tutorials are covering a lot of that.
    Eventually I'll use Encore to author a proper DVD that is compatible with every DVD or Blu-ray player. Right?
    I guess the question could be, "What is yout multi asset workflow?"
    I feel like such a noob.
    Thanks.

    Michael,
    I thought that might be the case. Sigh!
    Well, as far as I can tell, if I were you, I would offer it with an alI I-Frame option first. That would probably be the easiest to implement cleanly. Those who can shoot that way would probably start shooting that way. Me included.
    Then, take the AVCHD from a few of the most popular cameras, Canon, Nikon and of course, the Panasonic DMC-GH3 (my camera) and whatever video cameras are popular right now. Back up to the beginning of the long GOP and finish at the end of the long GOP. There is no need to get too specific with frames for subclips. After all, anyone who does not leave handles on their subclips while ingesting gets what they deserve anyway. In fact, there should be an option to always add one second of handles to every subclip. Personally I would leave that on as a default.
    As for me, I recently posted a few videos using different codecs for people to download to test them. The links can be found in this forum post along with a short discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1239519?tstart=0
    I usually use 50Mb/s 60p using the MOV format, but if I was to shoot anything serious, I would probably shoot 72Mb/s 24p. Keep in mind, that if Adobe made it possible to ingest subclips without transcoding,I would change what I shot to all I-Frame for almost everything, either at 30p or 24p. And if you did it for my 60fps MOV files, I would be ecstatic.
    I don't shoot AVCHD but I suppose that so many people do that the moment you gave the feature to all I-Frame shooters, there would be a huge clamor for AVCHD.
    In my opinion, this could be a major game changer and everyone who could would start using Prelude without a second thought. Like photographers are flocking to Lightroom 5, this would be the videographers Lightroom. Reelroom? Naw. Prelude is a good enough name.

    Hi, Jeff:
    My system is XP; before the premiere worked well.
    More detail story: Premiere could not open 3 days ago, no fix, some one sent me a crack software, I used it, no luck. Another nice guy told that is for non-legal Premiere, surely it won't work.
    I tried to remove Premirere; difficult; some one suggested me to use Adobe CS4 cleaner from Adobe. Then it was removed. I re-install Premiere; During the process, abnomal thing I remember was: I can't input product S/N, so I had to use 30-day trial.
    During the installation, it was stopped by Windows Installer issue, I restarted Windows Installer, then the process continued...
    I have two log files, don't know how to attach into this message. But, can't find any problem therein.
    Heverever, when I tried to open newly installed Premiere, error message says: ---can't open, reason is exactly same with very beginning: Can't communicate with Inporter Process Server....

  • CS4 - Premiere Pro crashing with Import

    Bought today and installed CS4 - all app's work great EXCEPT Premiere Pro, which crashes every time I try to import a file. I am computer literate and have checked all possibilities. This seems to be a dead-end - something I have never encountered in the last 15 years of computing! All I can think to do is to call the shop tomorrow and ask for a refund. I have downloaded the CS4 Premiere patch but that did not help. I want my money back!! I should have read these forums before counting on Adobe to get CS4 right!!
    Good luck to you all,

    >if you give enough details somebody somewhere just might be able to explain why
    Not likely, since he has checked all possibilities. ;)

  • CS4 premiere Imported .avi files play too fast

    Hi Guys
    I have a problem. I'm new to CS4 having used Adobe Premiere 6.0 in the past and I have never had this issue when importing .AVI files. What happens is that the file play fine in my windows enviroment and on all my players VLC,DIVX, Windows media player.
    But as soon as I import these files into my project at 29.97 frames the video plays really really fast and the sound plays at the normal rate. If I try to change the frame rate the sound also changes. Now here is the strange part. If I convert the files to MP4 they play fine! but the quailty of the video takes a massive hit as you know.
    I tried to convert the files to .MOV, MPG (which the program won't play) and most other types of video files but MP4 seems to be the only one that works! When I really want the higher quailty .AVI. Again the files play fine outside of CS4 Premiere and I have already converted them from a Panasonic AVCHD encode format.
    Please if anyone has any advise it would be great as I have to get this sorted for a x-mas present!

    any help will be appreciated and thks in advance.

    >what is best to backup/archive video to minimize size?
    That's the wrong question to ask. Ideally you don't change anything about the original media for backup. It's size it it's size, and you get enough of whatever you nee to accommodate that.

  • Capture problem with trial SW (CS4 Premiere Pro / Canon DM-MV1E,OPTURA in USA)

    Hi,
    I have used this camera earlier with older premiere 6.5 with Canopus DVRaptor-RT firewire. Those files I can not use with CS4 Premiere because Canopus is using their own codec?
    Now I try with CS4 Premiere Pro with motherboard firewire (Asus P5AD2-E Premium).
    Timeline is running in capture window during capture but there is no video and no audio (and no file....). During capture "Capture duration" is 0. When I stop capture there is text "Recorder captures no frames".
    Device control works ok (atleast Rew, Play, Stop, FF).
    Yes I know my camera is old...... Is it so that this camera don't work anymore with this SW?

  • Dolby Digital 5.1 Premiere + Encore

    Hello Everybody,
    I'm from the Netherlands and working for several years with Adobe Premiere and Encore. Last month I bought a new camcorder and TV to watch movies in HD.
    But I'm struggeling getting Dolby Digital on my DVD. I have read a lot of discussions, but none have the answer (for my problem).
    I use Adobe Premiere 5.0 and Encore. For Dolby I have bought the Minnetonka Plugin.
    My video camera is a Panasonic HDC-SDT750 with 5.1 mic.
    When I play video from my camcorder over HDMI on my TV (with stereoset) the sound is 5.1 Dolby Digital. All the speakers have sound.
    But when I play a DVD the sound is only stereo. (All bought DVD's are Dolby Digital ==> stereoset is working fine)
    What did I do :
    I imported the movie (.MTS) into Premiere. On the Audio Mixer tab I can see 6 channels moving.
    I exported the video with sound over the Minnetonka plugin and created a M2V and AC3 file.
    I imported this video (M2V) and sound (AC3) file into Encore and burned the DVD.
    As far as I know this should be the way to do it. But without succes. No dolby Digital.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or forget?
    What are the best settings for my camcorder regarding to loose as less as possible quality (perhaps someone who has the same camcorder)?
    (HD video 1920x1080 with dolby digital 5.1 sound, file is written with MTS extension )
    Thanks for your help,
    Pascal

    Hi Jim,
    Of course the next step is burning on Blu-Ray.
    But first getting DD5.1 on disk before wasting a lot of money.
    The master-file is on HDD and in HD. I can use that always later.
    Thanks for your input,
