CS4 problem when importing older CS3 Project, mismatched edits

I am trying to import a CS3 project into CS4 and for some reason some of the edits don't match up. It's only in some parts, most of it is fine. I really want to be able to use the new Media Encoder so I can make a DVD from the CS3 project (I was unable to do this in CS3 + older Media Encoder because it would always crash on my long length project).
I also tried bypassing Premiere CS4 by using the Media Encoder CS4 standalone project import option and selected the CS3 project and then the sequences....I scrubbed through the player and the same edits are mismatched/incorrect.
If I go back to the project in the older CS3, all edits are fine...but of course I can't export a MPEG for DVD because CS3's exports crash.
What is the deal?
If it matters, I am using 720p P2 footage.

Well I'm interested in this thread because I'm having a similar problem importing CS2 projects - audio filters are screwy, especially EQ.
I can't finish this project in CS2 for several reasons.
I can't seem to convert every project CS2 project -- some work, some do not. Missing preview files, probably. I know that CS4 conversions hanging are a separate documented issue.
So I'm trying to import projects instead. Everything looks all right but everything does not SOUND all right.

Problem opening a Premiere cs3 project in Premiere cs4

i recently did a clean install on a new machine with adobe premiere cs4
i attempted to open the project in adobe cs4 that i created in adobe cs 3
( i confirmed that the project isnt corrupted as the same project plays fine on another machine that has cs3 running)
Here is what happens When i open the project in cs4 it goes through the stages below and keeps looping and indexing.
*first pass: i first see adobe indexing the project and there is a media pending display in the program display and on the time line the thumbnails have not been created where the edits are.
* second pass: adobe finishes the indexing and then i see adobe looping again to conforming the video again, there is still a media pending display in the program display but this time the thumbnails have appeared on the timeline and i see the subclips in the project bin.
* Adobe stops indexing but there is still the media pending display on the program display so then i grab the timeline slider to scroll throught the project and then the indexing process starts all over again in this endless loop.
The project is located on a local drive and i turned off indexing on the drive.
I also tried deleting the rendered and preview files from the cs3 copied project , hoping that
CS4 would recreate everything. and still no luck
Any specific steps that i can do to trouble shoot this problem

When one Opens a CS3 Project in CS4, there is a lot of work that needs to be done. I'd Open the Project, and go get some coffee (decaf, so you will not loose your patience). Just let it do its thing with no input to the computer at all. Come back in 5 - 10 mins. and see if all have been completed. Be patient.
If you are actually getting a loop in the Conforming, Indexing and the rest - remember be patient - then close down and reboot. Try Importing the CS3 Project into a New Project in CS4 to see if things improve.
BTW did I mention being patient?
Good luck,

Audio problem when importing video files.

Hello everyone,
I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
Cheers
Christophe
PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

Update to 10.0.5.
You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

FK DELETE RULE problem when importing 8i SCHEMA on 10g

Hi everyone,
I´m having the following problem:
When importing a SCHEMA dump from an 8i database to a 10g one, some foreign key´s delete rule are changed from 'no action' to 'set null' automatically, even though the whole SCHEMA was imported.
Has anyone ever had the same problem?
Thanks a lot,
Bruno

I did some more research and I think I was completely misunderstanding Oracle's implementation of delete rules. Now I believe that Oracle implements the "RESTRICT" option in SQL Developer Data Modeler as "No Action", which is the default option, hence why no DDL option is generated. However, it would still be nice if Data Modeler could detect this fact when comparing two models. What I mean it, if comparing an Oracle DB to a model, treat Restrict and No Action as the same, and thus don't attempt to re-generate the DDL for this "difference". For now, I'll just change the action on my models to No Action, and this should resolve the issue.

I have a problem, when i start the project i open the browser window and whenh i select a clip premiere stops working!!!

Video audio problem when import to premiere CS4

I have a file encode by flash media live encoder and I try to edit in premiere CS4 but when I import the file the video audio is not synchronised. The recorded file play run good in adobe media player. Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

Going back a bit over a year, there was a thread on this forum, where the OP needed to use the Flash Live Recorder, as there were both streaming material from lectures and then edited material to go up on their intranet Web site for later viewing. That poster had similar issues with the live material, IIRC.
I am certain that this thread was after the forum change over, so should still be on the servers. Wish that I could recall more details, but in the end, the OP found resolution to the problem. I know that I participated, but from the side lines. Seems that there was even footage of a rock performance involved in the feed and I edited the FLV material on my PrPro 2.0 with Moyea FLV Importer for Premiere plug-in. I'll look in my e-mail and YouSendIt account to see if I can find the poster's name (might not be his Adobe screen name), but a Search of this forum ought to turn up something. I'll also do a Search and maybe between us, we can find that thread, as there might be some useful tips in it.
In the meantime, maybe this ARTICLE can help you edit the OOS issues.
Good luck,

Jikes compiler problem when importing class from a jar

hi everyone,
I'm new there so please excuse me if i post a pb that have been already answered...
I've a pb with jikes that is encountering a problem and so closing when compiling. I use ant to build my project.
In my classpath I have, among others, a jar named 'kepler.jar' in which I use the following class 'WSResult;'
In my java class I have the following import :
'import com._4d.kepler.model.WSResult;'
Do you think it is the character "_" that makes jikes to bug ?
What else can be the problem of not compiling and stopping building the project ?
Thank you very much for your help, looking forward to your answer...!
Florence.

Editing material is vastly different from just playing it.
With Audio, a player is accessing the actual file on the HDD, and reading the info from there.
The big difference is that with PrE (and PrPro), those files are not being used directly. When Imported, a couple of things happen:
PrE creates links to those files, for later use, when one Exports/Shares
PrE creates "proxy files," to display the Video on the Timeline, based on those links. It also creates proxy files for better display, when one Renders the Timeline, or portions of it.
PrE creates a CFA (Conformed Audio) and a PEK (Waveform Display) file, that are used - the CFA is to allow for critical editing and the PEK is what one sees on the Audio Track. The actual files are NOT directly accessed - only the CFA file.
For a bit more info on Conforming, see this ARTICLE.
Now, there have been some problems reported, where the Audio was Linear PCM/WAV. I do not know what there is about the LPCM, that causes the issue, but the "plain vanilla" PCM/WAV's seem to be trouble-free. I would love to read, from an Adobe employee, or audio engineer, explaining on why there might be issues.
For the red, and as there is some "earthiness" to it, I like the Acacia Carneros Pinot Noir. I pick it up at Costco for about US $22. It has proved to be about the best inexpensive PN, that I have encountered. Another, is the Peachy Canyon Incredible Red, which I have picked up "on sale" for around US $ 9. Their Peachy Canyon East Side Zinfandel, is even better, and I've found it as low as US $ 15. If you can find the Glen Carlou Grand Classique (South Africa), it is about the best cheap Bordeaux Blend, that I have ever found at ~ US $ 12.

Problem with importing a Motion project into FCP if it uses a Boris filter

Had an odd and highly frustrating experience. Was using a Boris Continuum filter (the posterizing one) on the background of a Motion project (was using it to age a background of a brick wall to age it and give it a more 'nighttime' look).
When I imported the file into FCP to use as an intro there, the background disappeared entirely. After an hour of troubleshooting, finally figured out that it was the Boris filter that was causing the problem (it also was probably responsible for the random crashing of FCP I was experiencing), as when I disabled the filter and re-saved the project, it worked beautifully.
Is this a 'normal' problem when using Boris filters? Do I have to export every Motion project into a Quicktime file before importing it to FCP (and possibly DVDSP) if it uses a Boris filter?

Thanks! Now the frustrating thing is that the client doesn't want to use what I created after all...bah humbug
It's not the RAM (which is either 8GB or 16....not sure on that computer). Got an e-mail from Boris Support that implied that this will happen all the time...that you have to export all projects before you use them in FCP or DVDSP or the Continuum filters won't work (loved how the support person suggested that I just use the filter in FCP...which defeats the purpose of creating something in Motion! But I digress...) Told me I had to buy a $500 program called Automatic Duck to get things to import properly...and that Boris filters won't work with the latest upgrade of FCP, btw.

Out of Application Memory Error when Importing Library as Project

I have for years followed a practice of consolidating discrete event libraries (I create a new event-specific library for each event I shoot) into my main library at home.
Recently, though, I have been unable to import libraries as projects. The process begins, but ultimately grinds to a halt as I get an Out of Application Memory Error, invoking the Force Quit panel and telling me to quit some of my open programs in order to free memory to run the various open applications. (Aperture, of course, is "not responding").
In Activity Monitor, a process called kernal_task, is the culprit, taking up nearly 10 GB of my 16 GB memory; Aperture is second, using 1 to 2 GB in memory.
When I force quit Aperture, kernal-task quickly dissipates, eliminating all of the memory pressure.
I have no idea how to even begin addressing this.
I have the most recent version of Mavericks and Aperture running on an older 8-core Mac Pro.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions.
Gordon

There is about 2TB of free space on the drive with the destination library.
And how much free disk space is on your System drive?
If repairing the libraries does not help, check your system for software, that might be leaking memory, probably incompatible plug-ins or older applications, preference panes, drivers that need updating,
If you find evidence of a precess leaking memory, ask in the Mavericks forum.
See this post by Linc Davis for how to check for memory leaks:

Import Premiere CS3 Project into AE

New to the Mac CS3 universe. Imported a Premiere CS3 project into AE.
Brought it in and AE made a comp from the sequence and sources from all
the media. Thought everything was fine till I scrubbed the timeline and
discovered that the Title items I had placed on my Premiere timeline
appeared to be just alpha channels. The text had not come along with the
footage.
Did I miss a step in Premiere? Used to AE and Vegas on my old Winbox, so
this CS3 integration is a nice change, but occasionally get trip ups
such as this on the learning curve.
Mac Pro Quad
CS3 Creative Suite

Ok thanks, that helps me quite a bit. The footage is all numbered sequentially so Im not mixing it up (9x1 hour blocks), but the framerates could be causing the problem. If the imported footage is HD 1440x1080 @ 25fps in Premiere, I have created a new project also set at HDV1080i 25 (50i) and imported the timeline. I then save this and import to AE, but am still getting the same problem. I know that Ive done the process backwards (premiere then AE), but out of curiosity, can you yourself get premiere transitions to work in AE? Cause I might ask adobe for new install discs if you can.

CS4 Crashes when opening a PP project saved on another identical workstation

Hello,
I have 2 identical computers Running PP CS4 in seperate buildings. When I copy a project to a USB flash drive or network drive from workstation A and copy it on to workstation B, the project acts like it successfully loads and at the very last second when you can see the timeline and everything it crashes out.
My system: PC - Intel Core 2 DUO 3ghz processor (E7500) with 2 gigs RAM - Lexicon Lambda usb audio interface - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX + video card on windows xp pro service pack 2. Premiere pro cs4 version 4.2.1. I went throught the steps in the "Guide to an effective question" and per the instructions there I have attached links to the DXDiag results, MSINFO32 results, and screenshots of a couple of the screens in Process Explorer: (these screenshots are from workstation B, where I'm trying to open the project file and it crashes)

>2 identical computers
Hmm... if they are EXACTLY identical, there is something you might try as a LAST CHANCE (not to be done lightly, since hardware signatures will likely mean that you have to RE-authorize Windows and all software)
Buy http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm (or your disk imaging software of choice)
Make a drive image of GOOD computer to USB hard drive... ditto for BAD computer
After both images are made, write the GOOD image onto the BAD computer's drive and test
If all works well (after any RE-authorizing due to any hardware signatures) you are good to go
If things do NOT work well, simply write the BAD image back to the BAD computer and you are back to where you started
Do not attempt this unless the two computers really are EXACTLY identical !!!!!

Color space conversion problem when importing JPEG's

Hi,
I'm currently playing with the trial version of LR. While importing JPEG's with different color spaces (sRGB and Adobe RGB) to LR I've noticed a strange effect: There is a small but noticable difference in color, depending if the JPEG was previously saved in AdobeRGB, or sRGB. All the images I've tested so far should not contain critical colors that exceed normal sRGB. When opened in CS2 both versions of a JPEG, AdobeRGB and sRGB, typically look perceptually identical, no matter if I leave the sRGB image to sRGB, or convert it to the working space (AdobeRGB). Also my color-managed image viewer behaves as it should. So I don't think it's a matter of the different color spaces.
Looking at the imported images in LR I would say that the AdobeRGB image is correctly converted while the sRGB image suffers from a slight reddish cast, most noticable in skin tones. The effect is not as strong as if I would load the sRGB image into CS2 and skip color conversion to my working space (AdobeRGB).
The sRGB versions of the JPEG's were obtained from the AdobeRGB JPEG's using CS2 for conversion.
Anyone else here experienced a similar problem? Is this a bug in the xRGB-to-ProPhotoRGB conversion of LR, or a feature?

Hi Uli,
thanks for pointing me to your thread. I followed the discussion with great interest. Actually, I think the effect I am describing here is of different nature and a LOT stronger, at least for the type of images I've tested.
I did some more experiments yesterday with interesting results:
1) When I export a processed RAW from LR to JPEG or PSD, no matter what Color Space (I tested AdobeRGB, sRGB and ProphotoRGB), and re-import those JPEG/PSD's to LR, they look absolutely identical to the RAW I started with. Also, at first glance, they look similar when opened in CS2, but only because I tested with color images. I can indeed see small differences when testing with B/W, as you described in your "Color management bug" thread.
2) When I change the color space of an PSD or JPEG inside CS2 (I used the default setting 'relative colorimetric') and save it to JPEG and then import this JPEG to LR, colors are far off. The strength of this mostly reddish color cast depends on the color space of the imported JPEG, strongest for Prophoto, less strong for Adobe and sRGB. Interestingly, when I convert the color space inside CS2 and save the result to PSD, it will display correctly when imported in LR. Another interesting side effect: the thumbnails of LR-exported JPEG's in the "Open" dialogs of CS2 and LR (I guess those are not color-managed) show the typical color-flatness for the Adobe and even more the ProPhoto version. For the CS2-converted JPEG's, all thumbnails look just a colorful as the thumbnail of the sRGB version.
3) Such an image which doesn't display correctly in LR will keep its color cast when exported again to a JPEG (not sure about PSD). So something goes wrong with the color conversion during the import of such CS2-converted images.
My explanation so far is that CS2 uses a slightly different way of coding the colorspace information in the metadata of JPEG's which somehow prevents LR to recognise the color space correctly.
Can you confirm this behaviour?

Encounters a Problem when creating or opening project

I could only get V1 to work with Admin priviliges, otherwise it threw up the message "Adobe Premiere Elements has encountered a problem & needs to close"
So I have upgraded to V10, but now hit the same block even with users having admin priviledges.
Happens when I try to create a new project (when clicking OK after entering new details) or when trying to open an existing project.
When creating a new project the basic folders and files are created before the error message and crash.
I am using Windows XP SP3 with all latest updates.
So I can do nothing at all with PE10.
Error code is 0xc0000005
Flag 0x00000000
Record 0x000000000000000
Address 0x00000000196cd0a3
Any ideas?

Dear A.T., thanks for trying to help. Regarding your questions:
the PC is a single-user machine on a small network. In accordance with Microsofts security recommendations, the working user account does not have administrator priviledges
4Gb RAM of which 2.15Gb unused
683Gb free space on C:
Two internal disks, formatted NTFS
Latest Quicktime installed
Previous version of Premiere Elements was v1
A bit more information on how it fails. Approximately 10 seconds after specifying a new project or giving details for a project to open I see a window informing me that a problem has been encountered and asking if I want to send details to Microsoft. I dont know if this is Adobe or Microsoft generated. If I click on any option then Premiere Elements disappears and a window declares "MS Visual C++, Runtime Error!, Program c:\program files\A...., R6030 - CRT not initialised
The Windows event log records "Faulting Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - faulting module display.dll version 6.0.0.0" I found display.dll in c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 10 folder. So an Adobe dll is causing the problem?
So as you recommended, I updated the Intel G35 chipset driver, and that then allowed me to open create new projects and open old ones! Progress!
But, after doing some video editing, when trying to close Premiere Elements, it crashes with the same unexpected problem encountered error and the same C++ error. This time the Windows Event Viewer stated that the faulting file was Ig4dev32.dll - the new G35 chipset driver I had just installed.
So I can now create and work on projects but likely to lose my work unexpectedly!

Importing older iMovie projects into new iMovie events

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and am running iMovie 8.0.5. I like the event library. But I have a number older iMovie projects, created a few years ago -- with pain -- from analog Hi8. I would rather not have to go through the pain of reimporting from the tape. Is there any conversion from iMovie 6 (cannot remember the actual version--it was a few years ago) project to the current event library?

Yes. File/IMPORT/From iMovie HD
See the HELP for the limitations.
