Default Premiere Pro CS6 Export Location

I had to edit videos of mine into a documentary for an assignment at university and am now looking for the place where i exported the finished work to. I know it was saved into some strange location that I hadn't chosen because it took me a while to figure out how to choose the destination for the export. So, I'd like to know if anyone can help me find that folder, it was what I assume to be the default Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6 export destination. I need to find the finished project for another assignment...

Premiere remembers the last export location.

Premiere Pro CS6 exports Blackmagic 10-bit 444 codec at 8 bpc

Color depth is automatically set to 24 bits (8bpc) when using the Blackmagic 10-bit 4:4:4 codec to export a file from Premiere Pro CS6 (Win-7). Is it possible to render from Premiere Pro using a higher bit depth so that the output isn't clamped? After Effects allows higher depth, but it is not an ideal workflow to export complex Premiere projects from AE.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I exported test files from Premiere and After Effects, and compared the files to the source sequence using scopes and a difference matte. The After Effects CS6 32bpc export showed no differences to the source sequence at 0.0% matching tolerance. The Premiere Pro CS6 export was different from both the AE file and the source sequence at matching tolerances below 0.5%, but was the same as an uncompressed 8-bit AVI at 0.0% matching tolerance.

Change default Premiere Pro CS6 importing of files so it's NOT alphabetical

With Premiere Pro CS5, I was able to import my Photoshop files with multiple layers (shapes, text, images, etc) and they would appear in order of Photoshop organization. For example:
Layers in Photoshop CS5:
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Importing them into Premiere Pro CS5:
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Notice the order stays the same.
Now that I have purchased CS6, everytime I try to import the layers into Premiere, they are imported alphabetically.
Layers in Photoshop CS6: (still same)
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Importing them into Premiere Pro CS6: (now alphabetical)
Address
Background
Logo
Main Text
How do I change the default setting so it imports in the same order as Photoshop? I would like this version to be the new default as I use this everyday for work.
Any help would be appreciated.
CS6 newbie, CS5 intermediate

In both cases, the PSD imported in the exact order I had it in Photoshop. I even went back into Photoshop, changed the order, reimported and it came in with the new order. So unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Which means I have no means to find a cause or test a fix.

Premiere Pro CS6 not locating media, freezing

For the last couple of days, Premiere Pro on my laptop (15" Apple Retina MacBook Pro, 12gb ram, 2.7GHz i7 - USB 3.0 Lacie drive) has been having trouble locating media. When I open a project, the "Locating Media" diologe shows the progress bar start moving, then stop and not move again. Hitting "Cancel" makes the pinwheel of patience come up. When I use the "Command + Option + ESC" command, Premiere Pro CS6 is not shown as "Not Responding". Force quitting the app and restarting the computer doesn't do anything to change this behavior.
Would appreciate any guidence on how to remedy this.

Good Day,
I am using Premiere Pro CS6 and I have been been doing metalogging for my film. I am having this issue of locating media when I changed my project over from a failing hard drive to a new one, I left the project on OVERNIGHT to locate media and its in the same spot. With such metalogging I have only been changing the names and descriptions of the files in the bin and I have a good few days work done on it. Is there any way to save the integrity of that bin without having to start an entirely new project over and start from scratch. This is most annoying.
I don't believe I have any corrupt rendered files, perhaps its a corrupted video?
Any help would be appreciated as I see no fix or announcement has come up for this problem yet.

Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD

Hi,
I have recently edited a film on premiere pro CS6 and it's all set to be exported. The film was shot with a 5D mark 3 @ 1920 x 1080, 24 fps. The timeline is about 160 minutes long. I have to export this to a DVD (like a classic DVD feature film with menus, subtitles etc). What export settings on premiere should I choose? I tried exporting in the .avi format but I'm getting horizontal lines (interlaced scanning) which is strange because I remember selecting the 'progressive scan' option.
I saw a video where this guy says adobe encoder is unable to resize HD videos into DVD (720x480) format succsessfully so he uses TMPGEnc video mastering to resize it before sending it to Encore.
Is TMPGEnc the only way around to this solution? Or is there something about premiere pro export settings that guy didn't know about, which probably the wise ones here can tell me?
Thanks in advance,
Kola

Thanks a lot Ann and Jim. You both being veterans on this forum I think I'm going to try both the methods starting with Ann's workflow. I've already started the export process and it says it's encoding it. This is what I've been seeing for the last 10 minutes:
I know you said the render bar won't show, but, here there is a bar only with no progress at all. Is this what you meant? Also, why is the CPU usage at 2% and RAM Usage at 19% when during encoding both figures hit the 50% - 60% mark?
So anyway, I closed the window and try again and this time it returned me an error, which basically crashes premiere:
Once again, I'm using premiere pro CC. Has this workflow been tried with CC?
Jim, I tried your method too. I referred to this page: http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/avisynth-premiere.html
I did exactly what it suggested, dropped the suggested .prm into the plugins folder. The first time I went to program > adobe > premiere cc > plug ins > common and then dropped the file there and opened premiere cc and went to export but under no option I get a 'link to avisynth' as filetype option. So then I go to program > adobe > common > plug ins > 7.0 > media core and I dump the .prm file there. I restart premiere and then go to export, same thing.
why are things so unnecessarily complicated and the ones which are not return error? This is so frustrating, I'm going crazy here. Please help, you guys.

Premiere Pro CS6 export to Audition problem

When trying to export a sequence thorugh "Edit in Adobe Audtition" (with video preview), Premiere never gets passed the "Preparing Sequence Data" which runs infinitely.
When selecting the preview video option it actually makes it through the "Preparing Video for Adobe Audition..." and then runs the "Preparing Audio for Adobe Audition" process fine but then craps out on the next step and never makes it into Audition.
It is only a 13 minute clip that I am attempting to bring into Audition and when not selecting video preview, which i need to sync up the audio edits, it seems to work the majority of the time.

Premiere Pro CS6 export to JPG defaults to export as sequence

Sometimes I want to export a single frame as a JPG to use as a DVD label image. This encoding process should only take a few seconds. The first time I did this I couldn't understand why it was taking so long. When I scrolled down on the options I discovered that it was exporting as a sequence which meant that I had many more images than I needed. I've had a couple of versions prior to this one and have not had this issue before. I can't believe that most people would want this as a default setting. Since that first time doing it I still have trouble remembering to uncheck chis option. How can I get it unchecked permanently? I don't see anything in preferences that allows me to do that.

Make the setting into a preset if it will not stick to the last setting used.
Or use the camera icon in the Program Monitor.

Premiere Pro CS6 - Exported Video Longer Than Audio

Hello all. I've downloaded a series of tutorials from Groove 3 and have been using Premiere/Encore to convert them to Blu-rays. Up until recently, I've had no problems with the workflow, but now I'm stuck and can't figure out what's happening.
The tutorials are broken down into individual video clips per chapter, AVC MP4 media, 30p. Most of them are screen captures so they aren't in typical video resolutions, so what I've been doing is creating a new sequence in Premeire Pro (1280x720 59.94 or 30p, tried both) and brought the clips into the timeline. I resize the video, add Encore chapter markers at the start of each clip, then export the sequence using the H.264 Blu-ray template with 1280x720 resolution.
The entire length of each tutorial varies - some are 90 minutes others are several hours - so sometimes I need to adjust the bitrate to ensure that I'm ending up with an .m4v that'll fit on the Blu-ray.
When I bring that .m4v clip into Encore as a timeline and preview the project, the markers start falling behind and there's considerable audio drift by the end of the sequence.
If I bring that exported clip back into premiere, I find that the video track is actually longer than the audio track, which explains the chapter markers/audio not lining up. What I can't understand is why Premiere would export a video track that's longer than the audio track when everything lines up and plays back perfectly in the sequence timeline within PPro.
Again, I've used this workflow with previous tutorials and it worked fine, but I've not been able to fix this problem. Even if I export a different container/codec out of PPro then convert it to .m4v in Media Encoder, I keep ending up with the same problem.
I'm thinking about making each chapter its own sequence and exporting each of them individually, then manually linking all of them together in Encore, but that seems like a pretty ridiculous workflow when everything should line up as is.
I had originally assumed it was because I was changing sequence settings when bringing the footage into PPro (I want the sequence to be in 1280x720, not the screen resolutions of the tutorial vids), but even when I ensure that the sequence frame rate matches that of the source videos, the exported media does not match up.
Ideas?

The tutorials are downloaded as a zip file then extracted; I don't actually screen record the tutorials while streaming or anything. I guess I couldn't say if variable frame rate was used when they recorded the tutorials, but the media I have shows up as 30fps as opposed to some sort of non-traditional frame rate that often shows up when recording with something at a variable frame rate (like the stock iPhone video camera app).

Premiere Pro CS6 Export issues

We are using CS6.1 on Dell platforms and Mac's in the studio and we produce long form commercials. We are missing all of our deadlines becasue we cannot export these 29 minute films. We also have issues with exporting to SpeedGrade and simply gave up. I have four TV shows that I cannot get off these computers. Further the dynamic linking literally sucks. sometimes you can open a JPEG in Photoshop and save it with the changes appearing in CS6 and sometimes not. We cannot export through Project Manger or export as an AVI, or any other codec for that matter. We never had any problems with CS5.
Right now I am having to transfer to a deck to get the files ready for broadcast check. It seems that when you only have few seconds of video it works fine, but it goes to hell in a hand basket after that.
Does anyone have a workaround or can you tell us what we are doing wrong?
Right now I am putting all the new shows on AVID for editing, at least that works.

Blackmagic & premiere pro CS6

since I have had so much trouble getting the blackmagic intensity pro to work with CS6, I thought it might be helpful to let others know what I have finally learned. Using the blackmagic drivers 9.6.8 which can be found in the archives at blackmagic and setting the output to HDMI & component and the input to component video & Analog RCA audio, I have everything working perfectly, at least, for my setup.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I exported test files from Premiere and After Effects, and compared the files to the source sequence using scopes and a difference matte. The After Effects CS6 32bpc export showed no differences to the source sequence at 0.0% matching tolerance. The Premiere Pro CS6 export was different from both the AE file and the source sequence at matching tolerances below 0.5%, but was the same as an uncompressed 8-bit AVI at 0.0% matching tolerance.

Premiere Pro CS6 Default save location

Hey there,
We are having an issue where our users only have 100 meg network drives and Premiere Pro CS6 profile data. Our domain policies redirect everything from XP Documents and settings and 7 Users to their Z:\ drive, which is mapped to a network location on the local server . When Premiere Pro first opens, it saves user specific profile data and save files by default to this location. When their drive reaches full, it will then corrupt a .DB file in this location (no space for a proper save) and then causes problems in various other sections of the program, such as importing videos/photos. You can manually select a different location on project start, but is there any way to redirect it back to the local drive users folder? These files then will have lots of space and then they can save their project file on network drive/flash media so their work is secure and safe, but the program data and scratch info has lots of free space to work with? I need to make this change permanent and inside of a deployment, is there a registry file one can change?
Thanks!

Last point here:
I thanked everybody for useful comments,
Theres no point in arguing what a company should do at the end of the day, they will make things work swimmingly or crappily regardless, cash is king.
Presently, no priviledge user accounts on the network are working peachy, not the problem. Only when the network drive reachs full does this have any issue or problem at all. Basic users with much larger network drives (such as an instructor) have no problems. *shocked crowd noise*
The point honestly is to not argue any present facts, would i like things done differently? sure, but right now none of that matters.
as we circle back around to the only main point and the only real question i had was this:
I just needed to change the default save location of premiere pro, if the program wont do this, how do i make it work or hack it to work? I of course take on all associated risks with this or running the program in the evil basic user network saving configuration.
At the end of the day, i was trying to do what you guys wanted, I wanted to have it save to C: for program caching. Users can then save the .proj files any where they wish after, doesnt matter. Im not wanting it to save to the network, group policies are just setting that default location to the network first program start. They can change it themselves even as a basic user, i just wanted to change where it goes first. I could give them Administrative access and that wouldnt change anything. Changing the group policy isnt the option, i cannot fix PP Pro and then break HUNDREDS of other things. These machines do far more then PP Pro.
I am listening, we just for some odd reason keep bashing pointless side points to this issue. All i needed to change was this default location for everybody.
Who cares if its on the network, a USB, the C drive, D drive, E drive, F drive or whatever the hell, if you dont think it will work off of C, thats fine, great, good for yah. I JUST need to change it. Thats all. The risk is on me, *Kermit YAAAY!*
So I am listening here, some people need to try READING though. Just because a program isnt designed that way, doesnt mean nobody has ever figured out a way to make it work that way. Welcome to Information Technology or Software Packaging and Deployment. There are websites dedicated to this.
Thanks again, ill ask Adobe support.

Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

First, all the system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
But now, two things happen:
1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
Huh?
Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
Multiplexer Tab:
choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
Video Tab:
Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality: increase it to the max of 5
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
Render at Maximum Depth box checked
Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
Audio Tab:
Audio Format: Dolby Digital
Codec: Dolby Digital
Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
Thus the primal scream.
The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it. :-)
P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep. In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
Help. Please. :-)

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

Exporting AVCHD for BluRay in Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I have AVCHD files taken with a HD camcorder at its highest quality settings (HD FX - 1920 x 1080 - 24Mbps - H.264AVC). I am looking for the most appropritate workflow to edit these in Premiere Pro CS6 and burn them over to BluRay using Encore, while maintaining the original quality of the AVCHD files. Currently when I import the files into Premiere Pro, and preview the video clips in the sequence, the video appears as it does in the original files. In PrPro, the properties of the AVCHD files indicate that they are at 29.97 fps, 1920 x 1080, with square pixels (1.0). However, after exporting the sequence from Premiere Pro (via Media Encorder) to Encore, the video appears to have some jagged edges with some loss of video quality, and I would like to resolve this issue. For the export settings I am using the H.264 BluRay default settings. Please provide details on the correct/most appropriate settings that should be used to export the PrPro sequence to Encore with the above mentioned AVCHD files to Encore for recording onto BluRay while maintaining the original file quality. Thanks.

Seaspray - I will let the experts correct any bad advice here and perhaps I am adding nothing you already don't know or are doing. I recently went through the same exercise being new to PP CS6. Is that footage interlaced? I first drug a sample clip to the New Item button to create a matching sequence. I had some issues when I wasn't being careful about sequence settings matching, particularly putting interlaced in a progressive sequence. When I was ready to export, I chose the H.264 Blu-ray preset closest to my source footage. I made sure the key video characteristics matched - frame size, frame rate, progressive vs. interlaced, if the latter upper or lower, PAR, etc. etc. In some cases I tweaked VBR vs. CBR and bit rates. I then produced separate .m2v and .wav video/audio files. Then I imported those files as assets into Encore. You should then see Encore tell you it does not need to encode the video or audio after analysis. Unfortunatley, this process does require one encoding, but I don't believe there is anyway around that matter as PP CS6 apparently does not support "smart rendering". However, I think with just one encoding you are not going to see your footage noticeably degraded. Agreed, none of the monitors in PP or Encore should be used to judge quality. I also noticed major differences playing back files on my PC with various media players vs. PS3 + big TV.
