Embeding Video/Audio with a Premiere Pro Project File

Can anyone tell me how you can Embed your video/audio files with a Premeire Pro CS6 project file? Copying all the original footage from your specific project and placing it into a folder with the project file? Thanks alot.
Brandon C.

You can't. The only asset from a PP project that can be embedded into the project file are PP generated titles. Everything else will always be a separate file on the hard drive.
As for copying those separate files to a single location, I personally recommend using the proper tool for the job. File management should always be done using a file manager, like Windows Explorer or Finder.

Keyframes in Speedgrade with a Premiere Pro project

I'm using Speedgrade to grade clips in a Premiere Pro project. I'm trying to adjust a primary layer grade across a clip using different keyframes. It is not working: when I set up a second keyframe, I try to make adjustments to the offset, gamma, and gain in the second keyframe and, while the sliders slide, I'm not seeing any results in either the clip or the scopes.
It's working fine when I create a Speedgrade project. But it's not working with an imported Premiere Pro project.
I can't find any indication of a bug related to this. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've submitted the bug report.
Here's a bit more information about my environment:
MacOS 10.10.1.
Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2012)
2.7 GHz Intel Core I7
16 GM memory
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I have some 3rd party plugins installed in Premiere, but none used in the test case. And in fact I can reproduce the problem with a fresh project by following these steps:
1. Create a new project in Premiere.
2. Import a video file. (The video file is one that I recorded with my Canon 5D mk iii, but the original problem was using files gotten from a GoPro, so that detail doesn't seem to matter.)
3. Create a new sequence.
4. Take a 3 second clip from the video file and put it in the sequence.
5. Take a different 2 second clip from the video file and add it to the sequence.
6. Use the File/Direct Link to Speedgrade menu option to load the sequence in Speedgrade.
7. In Speedgrade, select the first clip. Make changes to the Offset and Gain brightness sliders for that clip.
8. Select the second clip. Position the cursor over the first clip and hit "c" to copy the grade changes from the first clip to the second.
9. Position the read head about midway through the second clip.
10. Hit the diamond to add a keyframe.
11. Make changes to the offset and gain brightness sliders at that keyframe.
12. Hit the keyframe left arrow to move to the initial keyframe in the clip.
13. Notice that the brightness changes made on the original keyframe show in this keyframe. This is unexpected behavior.
14. Attempt to make changes to the offset and gain brightness sliders at this keyframe. The sliders slide, but there are no changes to the clip itself. If you bring up the scopes at this point, making changes to the sliders don't change the scope values either.

Importing a Premiere Pro Project file in AE

Hi,
I've just finish editing a long feature with Premiere Pro that I've broken down into 10 project files to allow Premiere not to have the memory crash.
Now I'd like to import in AE the project file to be able to do image stabilization on different shot and sky replacement.
My questions are:
a) If I import the project files, can I make modifications in AE (like color correction, stabilization, sky replacement,...) then save the project so that it can still be opened in Premiere
b) Can I recombined my whole feature into one project in AE or the memory won't handle it as Premiere's memory didn't ?
Thank you.

> If I import the project files, can I make modifications in

You can save a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. See
"Export an After Effects project to Adobe Premiere Pro".
Note that there are several other ways of moving data between After Effects and Premiere Pro, including copy & paste and Dynamic Link. See
"Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects".
> Can I recombined my whole feature into one project in AE
> or the memory won't handle it as Premiere's memory didn't ?
The size of the project doesn't tend to be a problem for After Effects. (Frame size, occasionally; image buffer size, occasionally; but not project size.)

Premiere Pro Project File Damaged, Cannot Open!

someone accidentally rebooted my computer while Premiere was still running on an active project. After rebooting, the project file could not be openned with a message saying it is damaged.
i tried loading the the .prproj file into an XML editor and had it checked. the problem is that it seems the last 40% of content is gone. i know that because when i opened it with notepad, the last 40% lines are blank lines. also, when i put an ending tag to the last available line and saved it as a new file, the file size shrinked to about 60% of its orginal size.
Could anyone help me with this? is it possible to view the blank lines? i don't have any auto save files...and this is a project 4 editors had spent hundreds of hours working on...really wouldn't be effiecient to start over and the deadline of the video is one week away.
help please.i thank you so much in advance!

David, I think the problem is that I (and Phil and Craig I assume from their responses) cannot find a directory called archive(not in the project directory and not in any other adobe directory), nor any documentation that CS3 is making an autocopy each time I save the project. I wondered if you were referring to an earlier version of Premiere.
In what tab in the preferences do you find "maximum number specified in Preferences" that is not autosave.

Why are colors of embedded videos opened with acrobat different to original files?

Hello,
I generated a videoclip in Premiere CC in different formates ( mp4, mov; flv.... ) and embedded it in an Indesign document. From there I generated an interactive PDF. Opening the file in Acrobat, the colors of the video are different as in a videoplayer like quicktime. Opening the pdf in a browser like safari, the colors are correct. Alternative I embedded the video with acobat pro but the result was the same like before. What is the reason for this problem? Do I have to mange some special colorsetting in the video or are there some presettings to be done in Acrobat?

If you open System Preferences / Displays / Color can
you change the color profile to others in the list?
Or, do you get a "beep" and no change?
I can change the color profile.

Premiere Elements Project file wount open in Premiere Pro CS6

My friend Just bought Premiere elements 13 and created a Project. I cant open the Project in Premiere Pro CS6. Getting this error message:
"The Project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened."
The Project workes fine in Premiere Elements 13
What can I do? What is wrong?

If you have done this:
Import a Premiere Elements project (Windows only)
   Select File > Open Project.
   Browse to an Adobe Premiere Elements project file, with file extension PREL.
   Click Open.
Premiere Pro converts the Premiere Elements project file to a Premiere Pro project file.
and it wont work Elements 13 is probably too new for CS6.

I couldn´t see imported videos with Adobe Premiere pro

Hello:
My name is Oren. I´m from Spain, and this is my problem.
One month ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 850-31M. It has an x64 processor, 16 GB of RAM and I have 2 hard drives, the c: an SSD of 500 GB and other of 1 Tb hardisk, configured as D:. It has a GeForce GT 630M graphics card with 2 GB of RAM. W8 operating system.
I wanted to try the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I downloaded the trial version. No problem, until I tried to import a video in the source window. Appears a small window that says "importing" and give to play in the source window and start .Audio be heard, but not the image. I've tried different video formats and always the same. The same video are seamlessly Quick Time and other video viewers ..... I do not know what to do, I think I've tried everything, even restart the computer to its factory settings and install Adobe Premiere vacuum and the problem remains. I tested with a trial of Premiere CS5.5 and got it. You hear the audio but no video . Insert the video in the timeline and recognizes it as such, even the first frame, but said, is not seeing in the "source", nor in the preview, only the audio.
What could it be? Am I you could lend a hand I'm desperate?
thank you very much

Working with video and photos in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi Folks.
I am a LONG TIME Adobe Premiere 5 user. NOT CS5, Adobe Premeire 5!! Yes, from the 1990's!! Recently I went back to college and taking advantage of the educational store, I treated myself to Adobe Master Collection CS6. I LOVE IT!!!
I'm just back from holidays where I snapped loads of photos at 14Mpx and video at 720p HiDef on my camera. I now want to compile a holiday video of my photos and videos telling the story of my holiday. I always do this and in Adobe Premeire 5 I had it nailed down. This is my first big outing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and while I'm making some good headway with it, there are so many differences that I have a few questions...
1.
My movie is being made at the resolution of my video footage, 1280 x 720. My photos are MUCH bigger then this. When I place a photo on the timeline, because it's much bigger then the video resolution I have to right click on it on the timeline and select Scale To Fit Screen or whatever the option is. This works great as the whole photo then shrinks down to fit within the video resolution. But it's a pain as I have LOADS of photos!! Is there a way to make photos default to fitting on the video resolution when I place them on the timeline? I don't want to resize them in Photoshop to fit the resolution as I plan to move and zoom into the photos as part of the video so I want to keep them at their 14Mpx size.
2.
When I place a photo and a video side by side in the timeline, why can't I place a Cross Disolve transition overlapping the two of them? The transition just overlaps the video start/end depending on where it is. If I put two photos side by side, the transition will overlap the top of them on the timeline. Haven't tried it with two videos yet.
That's it for now. Making slow but good headway. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Paul.

Start by downrezzing your photos in PS to a more manageable size. If you don't need pan and scan, just use 1280x720. You can batch resize them in PS and it will make the editing experience a lot better, putting less overhead on the system and resulting in a much snappier response.
Read about handles in the Help file for transitions. You need extra material at the end on a clip and the beginning of the next clip.

How do I synchronize multiple *sequential* clips using audio waveforms in Premiere Pro CC?

I recorded a concert at my kids' school. I ended up with:
Video in six separate clips (video+audio) from my Canon 5D Mark III camera
A single audio clip from my Zoom H4n recorder
The 5D Mark III can only record clips of up to 4GB in size, and clips 30 minutes in length. The clips broken up by the 4GB size limit are adjacent to each other, but the clips broken up by the 30-minute limit have a stop-pause-restart gap of a few second.
On past such projects, I have used PluralEyes 3.0 to synchronize the clips. But PluralEyes converts each stereo audio track into dual mono tracks, which I don't like.
I just happened upon this video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/merge-clips-automatically-using-audio-wave forms/?t=0 It shows how to synchronize a single video+audio clip with another audio clip. It also shows how to synchromize multiple concurrent video+audio clips with another audio clip, for multi-camera editing. But it doesn't show how to synchronize multiple sequential video+audio clips, as I got from my Canon 5D Mark III.
It seems that every time I select multiple video clips, the Synchronize item in the pop-up menu is disabled. When I select only the first video clip and the full-duration audio clip, I can synchronize them with audio waveforms. But then when I try to select the second video clip and the full-duration audio clip and synchronize them, it breaks the sync of the first video cilp
Can Premiere Pro CC synchronize multiple sequential video clips using the audio waveform method?
I am running Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.1 (4).
Thanks.

I'm an editing newbie but this was the very first task I needed to do, i.e. align multiple video clips with a single audio track. My setup is similar. I'm shooting with a Canon 70D, which breaks up video into 4gb clips, which are continuous and easy to align end to end. But the 70D like the 5D only shoots for 30 minutes continuously, so a second or two is lost hitting record again. My external audio was recorded continuously with a camera mounted Tascam (like a zoom) with a line in to the camera. So, in theory, the audio should be the same on the external audio and the audio associated with the video clips, which probably helps the software identify the identical wave forms.
I found that I could roughly align the video clips based on the audio wave forms and then "synchronize" the audio as shown in the video (Merge clips automatically using audio waveforms | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials). I found that this aligned the audio perfectly but separated the video from its associated audio track. But it's easy to select the video and snap it back into alignment with its audio. While it would be nice to have everything merge automatically, using synchronize sequentially did not take much time.
Hope that all makes sense.

XDCAM HD workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Macbook Pro

Hi folks,
I have an assignment for a TV production to secure and convert the data (mxf files XDCAM HD 422 1080i 50 / 50 Mbit/sec with 8 audio channels) from Sony XDCAM camcorders (PDW-700) for postproduction.
The producer wants me to convert the mxf files during production to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for faster and smooth editing during postproduction.
I'm not sure about the final output yet, but I guess it will be either 720p50 or 1080i 25, since the production will be broadcast and as far as I know this is the standard for HD on German television. It is also not clear which NLE will be used for editing (usually one of the producers edits their projects with FCP, but this time they've got their hands full and are still looking for someone to outsource postproduction.
Unfortunately, my Macbook is getting fixed as we speak, so I can't try things out.
Since this is the first time I'm doing this workflow, could someone please check if I got everything right?
1. Can someone please confirm that I can actually convert the mxf files using AME CC to Apple ProRes 422?
Or do I need to install any other tools/converters for this task? Does MPEG streamclip do the job? Any other freeware?
2. When converting to Apple ProRes422, the producer suggested to deinterlace the footage (1080i 50) to 25p, if 720p or 1080p I have to find out tomorrow since our conversation got interrupted this afternoon.
In my opinion this doesn't make sense, though. First, if output to 1080i 25 it has to stay interlaced anyway. Second, in case the output will be 720p 50 I would edit the footage either natively or in Apple ProRes 422, but leave deinterlacing until the very end when outputting to the final format. This way I could use an advanced deinterlacer, e.g. the one from Magic Bullet Suite, rather than just checking some deinterlace box in the export settings for Apple ProRes 422.
The reason the producer suggested to deinterlace right away when using an intermediate like ProRes was that she and the client got irritated by the jagged lines from the interlaced footage when editing the last project with the same requirements on a progressive display.
3. What would be the best solution to tackle this issue (jagged lines) during editing?
As I said my Mac is getting fixed, so I have no way of trying things out,and I usually edit DSLR footage which is progressive anyway.
But if I remember correctly I can switch my monitor between 1080p and 1080i. This should do the trick, shouldn't it?
4. Can I keep all of the 8 audio tracks when converting to ProRes using AME CC ?
5. Is ProRes422 (HQ) really necessary, or is the regular quality sufficient for this kind of job?
6. Let's assume the whole project would be edited within Adobe Premiere Pro CC and system specs as stated below:
Since Adobe Premiere Pro CC has native support for XDCAM HD is there any advantage of using an intermediate like ProRes at all?
How smooth is native editing with XDCAM HD in Premiere Pro CC? I don't think there will be more than 3-4 video tracks in use...
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Jim! I knew there must be a reason xdcam is widely uses for eng aquistion :) I think they used FCP 6 or 7 on their last project... So what about monitoring interlaced footage on a progressive screen? Any advice on that? Is there a converter built in to APP CC that deinterlaces in realtime when monitoring interlaced sources on a progressive screen? And would you agree that deinterlacing source material is best left right before outputting?

Audio Cutoff in Premiere Pro

Having trouble with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014. I imported MTS clips from my canon video camera to Premiere, but the audio drops off in the middle and there's no movement in the audio bar on the right. When I dragged the files to the computer, I dragged the entire "private" folder in the SD card. And when I listen to it on the video camera, the audio is fine. I tried saving the premier project under documents>adobe>premiere pro>8.0, but had no luck. Please let me know ASAP if you know a solution to this problem!

A few more question for clarification... does the audio indicator in the timeline have the same length as the video track? If yes, does the waveform indicate sound from beginning to end?
If the length of audio matches the length of video and the waveform shows noise from start to end, then there is some other issue. If the audio does not match the length of the video (which I believe you indicated), then make sure the "Link Selection" is turned off - that is the icon to the right of the magnet (below the blue timecode indicator in the pic above) before you try to drag (trim) the right side of the audio track.

Exporting multiple audio channels from Premiere Pro CS6 in MXF OP1a

I have a Premiere Pro project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. I make sure that none of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels as I want it to, but only the first two channels contains audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thank you for your help!

Hey Guys,
I'm having problems exporting an 8 channel audio mxf for a broadcast client. The mix they want is as follows:
Track 01: Full Programme Mix L
Track 02: Full Programme Mix R
Track 03: International Sound L
Track 04: International Sound R
Track 05: Music and Effects L
Track 06: Music and Effects R
Track 07: VO Mono
Track 08: Interview Mono
I have setup the sequence following this video on vimeo and am fairly confident I have the sequence settings correct. https://vimeo.com/38501157
I also can export a multichannel mxf. But all my tracks are exported as mono and I am therefore not maintaining my L and R as set up in my sequence
The problem is on exporting that since Tracks 01 and 02 are bounced down to 1 + 2 it means that my Track 01 (Panned L) is getting bounced down onto my Track 02 aswell and thus it does not remain seperate. Has anyone delivered a similar format for a broadcaster and come across this problem with Premiere Pro and know a solution?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Premiere Pro Project Manager does NOT include After Effects files.

Warning: Premiere Pro "Project Manager" does NOT include the After Effects 'dynamic linked composition' files associated with the project when "Collect File and Copy to New Location" resulting in the incomplete and loss of all dynamic linked compositions in the new project destination ( folder or disc drive ) .. I know this also includes Photoshop dynamic links and assume includes Audition audio files as well.

Here's the best way: Personal Responsibility.
Put all of your project files in one file. Stop asking PPro to do it for you. It's simple. This is a no-brainer. If you create a linked comp, create it in the same file as your PPro project and files. When you send it to Encore, create the Encore project in the same folder. Works all the time, every time. When you're sure that you're finished with the project for the forseeable future, move the entire folder off your workstation into storage. Do I move a copy of each asset (video clip, image, audio, etc.) into this folder before I import it to my AE or PPro project? Yes I do. Is it overly time-consuming? Not really. I can fly on my machine. Does it beat not being able to open a project later. Oh yes. Yes it does. I'd say I did 50 projects last year this way. When I occasionally had to move a project folder back to the workstation, I had no problems. Everything worked as it did before I off-loaded it. That's because I take personal responsibility for my projects. It's imporatnat that theyt work, especially if I end up having to hand it off to a third party down the road.
BTW, my workstation is RAID 0. If you are using anything less, you need to upgrade. What I'm trying to tell you is that my system works very well. I have not always done things the right way. I have had my share of frustration. The point is that I learned. Now I'm passing that on to you. I use CS5 on an HP Z800 with a measely 12 gigs of ram and a single i7 quad core and the aforementioned RAID 0 configuration and a hacked Nvidia GTS 450. It works quite well. I'm sure I would do even better with another i7, 12 more gigs of ram and a Quadro 4000, but this is what they give me to use.
Additionally, I'm using CS5 at home on a MUCH older HP xw8200 dual dual Xeons, 12 gigs of ram and software-only MPE. Guess what? It works quite well.

Export multichannel mp4/h.264 with Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Dear community,
we currently test the Adobe Premiere Pro CC trial (German) on a Windows 7 Professional PC.
However, we are not succentful in exporting a multichannel mp4/H.264 clip.
We haven't found an answer on our issue so far, so I hope that this question was not answered several times before in this forum.
If we chosse the H.264 exporter, we cannot select a multichannel audio export (only mono, stereo, 5.1).
In contrary, if we select the Quicktime exporter, we are able to export our sequence with a 4 channel audio master with 4 mono tracks, but we can only export it with a DVCPro Codec in a mov container.
If we try to select a HD H.264 preset we get an error alert stating that the preset contains a not compatible video codec.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks for every suggestion.
Thanks in advance
André

Thanks for your thoughts, Richard.
Your are right, we currentky use the Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud version.
We managed it to solve at least the error message. It was caused because Quicktime was not installed together with the Adobe Premiere Pro / AME setup on our computer.
After we installed Quicktime 7 manually, we can select a Quicktime/H.264 preset without any problems within the exporter settings.
However, the Quicktime/H.264 export dialog seems to only allow a mono or stereo audio export. No multichannel-audio export.
This possibility is only displayed in Richards case, if we select the Quicktime exporter and an Uncompressed Video or DV preset.
Our question to the Adobe developer guys is the reason behind this limition? Other video authoring prograns can export a mp4 with H.264 Codec with multichannel AAC without any problems.
How can we do this with Adobe Premiere Pro (not necessarily via Quicktime)?
André
