DNxHD not working with Premiere in my PC? Desperate for help!

Hello all,
So I have 3 questions. I'm absolutely exhausted of trying to figure out which codec to transcode my footage in my PC for AP (I shoot canon 5D, giving me h264 files). I will never edit with h264 (even though AP edit natively), no questions about it!
To make my story short, I migrated from Final Cut Pro in my MAC, to Adobe Premiere in my PC (no more MAC). Reasons are a long story. Anyways, I read all over that the most similar codec to ProRes is DNxHD possible in PC and Adobe Premiere, and Cineform.
1) Cool, I downloaded DNxHD, and when I go to Media Encoder, it shows something called "dnxhd mxf op1a". When I transcode, it gives me a .mxf file that is unreadable by my pc, and when I drag it into AP, it gives me an error message. What's going on? How come it isn't in .mov?  what should I do then?  I read there is a converter .mxf to .mov, but isn't that process going to downgrade more the quality of my footage? Please help! Which is the workflow then? I read all over that many people edit in AP in PC using DNxHD. How come I can't?
2) In the research, very frustrated, I read about Cineform codec as a 3rd possibility, which luckily it comes with Adobe for free. I transcoded to that in AME, and it changes the contrast a lot, it washes out the footage looking very bright. Actually h264 looks much better! (how is that possible?) Am I doing something wrong?
3) Please I would truly appreciate answers and, in that case, step-by-step workflows. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the process or I'm missing a step, and I need to understand. Please I would truly appreciate any suggestions for transcoding footage in a PC before importing it to Adobe Premiere. This cannot be the end of the road!
Thanks so very much!
Elaine.-

Hi Elaine,
When you said you downloaded DNxHD...did you also actually install it? The "dnxhd mxf op1a" encoding option in AME is already there by default, and is different than the downloaded DNxHD codec, which ought to encode as a .mov file. I don't have access at this moment to check in Premiere, but I'm pretty certain you did NOT encode to the format you thought you did. Once the DNxHD codec is properly installed, it should show up when you choose "QuickTime" as the FORMAT in AME. Then under the VIDEO tab, hit the drop down for CODECS and it ought to appear there as an option. Then you can export the .mov file you wanted to.
EDIT: Verified, I downloaded and installed the Avid codec and DNxHD now appears under "QuickTime" and does render out simply as a .mov file, no fuss
Edit 2: For anyone wanting to try DNxHD for Mac or PC, available at this link, had a hard time finding it - Avid Codecs LE 2.3.9
Thanks

  • Avid DNxHD not working with Color?

    QT HD Avid DNxHD Codec working with FCP but not with Color ? Help

    I will not contest the workability of AVID. I will express skepticism about the welcome an AVID codec might receive on a Mac platform, and less so on a platform/codec-specific app like COLOR.
    I understand that Automatic Duck's "Use existing media" now works better with at least DV material for importing OMF into FCP. That's probably a big thing considering all the various quirks that have to be bridged. We know for sure that only a select few formats are welcome for import to COLOR, and even fewer for export. Heck, it goes berserk if you let a tif or jpg slip by. It doesn't even like the LiveType and Motion decompressor exports so much, so although it might work in FCP is NO guarantee at all that the media will be greeted warmly elsewhere.

  • Blackmagic ultra studio sdi not working with Premiere Pro 8cc or A.E.cc(2014)  on win7 GT630m i7 laptop - But works in A.E.cc(12.2.1.5)

    There's a problem with the new update, as I no longer can use my BM Ultra Stdio SDI for monitoring. It let me select it but no image just black frame, with the new premiere pro cc 8 or a.e. cc (2014)
    But i have No Problem in A.E. cc (12.2.1.5) work find just like it should, So what has happen here ? My system is  Win7 Ultmate Laptop i7 Toshiba Satellite p850, dual gpu's GT630m & Intel HD 4000
    With the latest blalckmagic drivers installed (10.1.1) This needs to be looked into, there is no way of monitoring accurately .

    Problem Solved! (with a small catch)
    While searching crashing issues I came across this thread,"Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2"
    Marc_Lec  Answered (and I paraphrase here)"...I had the same problem and this is what I did. In 'Preferences Memory'  I increased the memory reserved for other application to at least half the installed and changed the optimize render from 'performance' to 'memory."
    Thank You Marc_Lec for what has been a game changer for me since my last computer and the beginning of PremiereCC problems.
    I changed my Memory reserved for Other Applications from the default 7gigs to 1/2 of my approx.31 available Gigs = 16Gigs. Viola!
    No more crashing what-so-ever!
    I still have to purchase an older  GTX 980 graphics card to take advantage of Adobe's approved code to utilize X=Cuda Cores and GPU, but I think I'll hang onto my new TitanX, in hopes that Adobe will write code and approve it someday in the near future.
    Now why doesn't Adobe say this officially about Memory Settings? (I don't know maybe they do and I missed I somewhere)
    Mine and probably many peoples computers problems here on this board may be attributed to a simple Memory adjustment, because the computer needs more than 7Gigs to run itself, not to mention Premiere.

  • Media Encoder CS6 not working with Premiere

    Hi
    I have been merrily editing a lager job in Adobe Premiere CS6 and then queuing the time lines to export in media encoder CS6 done the entire job everything rendered fine then Bam all of a sudden when I try and render I get all the audio a couple of frames of video then just black!!
    I have tried different codecs same result, I have tried different timelines same result, When I export directly out of Premiere without going through Media encoder all works fine, when I try encoding a file directly in media encoder works ok, It just seems to be the link between Premiere and Media encoder that not working as it should
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Hi Folks
    Has no one had an issue exporting to Media encoder from Adobe Premiere CS6?

    Any chance this gets fixed soon?  I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio.  I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio.  Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually.  I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive.  It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7. 

  • Nvidia driver 320.49 not work with premiere cs5

    I updated my nvidia driver to 320.49, so premiere cc can detect and work with cuda. But premiere cs5 can't play video with the new driver. It worked fine with 296. If I use 296, premiere cc can't detect cuda.
    Any solutions? Like switch nvidia driver for different premiere versions?

    Any driver pre 320.xx apprear solid.

  • Ipod not working with my computer.....help

    ok my ipod been like this since 5 months ....the problem is that my ipod will not connect to my computer i tried everything but everytime i try to connect it it just sits there and a couple of seconds the recharge bettery logo shows up. i tried deleting all my music in my computer and reinstalling itunes but it is still is the same. i tired connecting it to other usb cords and tried connecting into diffrent ports on my computer but still nothing... can someone help me pls because i cant upload nething into my ipod and im tired of listeing to the same songs now thx........

    after 2 weeks of searching apple.com and other forums online for why won't itunes work, i bought a windows compatible mp3 player (Creative Zen Nano) and it wouldn't work either so realized it was my OS. since i am not computer smart at all - i got someone to reformat my PC - had to save everything to disc that i would need after - as i guess doing this restores your computer to the day you bought it. But after itunes worked with no problems....good luck.

  • Composite view not working with Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I've got a user in our office who, all of a sudden, can't see any image in composite view when editing in CC 2014 - the other views work OK and he's able to generate files OK, but he can't see the actual editable image in the editor. This is a problem .
    Early '09 Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.8.5. NVidia Quadro 4000 video card w/ latest CUDA driver (6.5.18).
    Strangely, Adobe CC (non-2014) still works OK. And the user tells me that CC 2014 WAS initially working OK but that it suddenly stopped working. I've tried a reinstall; no luck.

    Just found the answer:

  • Encore not working with Premiere Pro

    I downloaded the Premiere Pro cs3 trial version. I then upgraded it to the full version but for some reason cannot seem to export via Encore. It seems as if Encore is not installed or setup right? What do you think the problem would be?

    If you installed from a download, so you don't have an install DVD, read the FAQ article

  • Photoshop CS6 not working with new version of Yosemite. Please help!

    When I was running Mavericks on my Macbook pro 15" Intel i7,everything seemed to be working completely fine. Now when I try to run Photoshop CS6 on Yosemite, the program keeps on crashing and giving me an error. Please help!

    Sometimes the Yosemite upgrade breaks the install. You may have to uninstall and reinstall CS6, and do so as an administrator.

    Łukasz%20Molenda if you purchased Creative Suite 5 from Adobe directly, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available in your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find additional details at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/find-download-link.html.
    If you purchased the software on a DVD and your current computer does not have an optical drive then you can copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does contain an optical drive.

  • Genius not working with some songs

    why does genius not work with some of my songs?

    For songs which the genius can't come up with a play list it seems the artist is either too small, too new, or the metadata doesn't match. For example, I had "Cardigans - Love fool" selected and I noticed iTunes had it in my "Songs your missing". I changed it to "The Cardigans - Lovefool", and then selected "Update Genius". After this iTunes removed it from the "Songs your missing", and was able to create a playlist.
    The problem is I don't know how many songs iTunes can't figure out. I wish I could create a smart playlist of all the songs which the genius couldn't figure out. The problem isn't so much that I can't get a playlist from a song I selected, but I know if the genius skips a song, then it won't include it with other recommendations. While the genius feature is great, I'd hate to find out in six months that it's been ignoring 75% of my library.
    In order to get some of my indy music to play with the genius playlist, I create a smart playlist which includes a genius playlist, and then a list of artists which it can also choose from.
    While it's great that the genius can figure out information from the cloud, it could spend more time looking at patterns within your own library. If I create a playlist of New Jersey rock bands, it should be able to figure out that my indy artists are related to the mainstream artists in the same playlist.
    The good thing about the Genius is it understands that people listen to multiple genres. I like to listen to classical when I'm studying, and folk music when I'm surfing the web. Last.fm will create a recommended playlist of half classical and half folk. The genius doesn't look at your whole library and come up with something that tries to match all your tastes. As a result of it using genres to cluster music, it doesn't mix holiday music in with your playlists like other recommendation services do.
