Encoder Options For *.wmv Files re Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I have a collection of *.wmv files that Premiere Pro CS5.5 refuses to open and it always generates an error message so I need to re-encode these *.wmv files into a format that Premiere Pro will import OK. I know that Premiere Pro will open *.wmv files so I think that the ones I have must have some data structures slightly out of normal. The files actually play with VLC and open with Sony Vegas so they are not corrupt.
What I hope to do is to use an encoder that will re-encode the files without any loss of video quality into another format or even into a slightly renamed *.wmv file in the hope that the re-encoded version of the *.wmv file will then be palatable to Premiere Pro.
Would anyone please be able to recommend an encoder that is suitable for my needs? On a final point, as a total novice with video, what aspects on re-encoding would cause loss of video quality or is there no loss of quality when re-encoding? Apologies for such a dumb question but I really am a newbie to all this.

If you can get the files open with Vegas, you could probably export them using Lagarith Lossless Video Codec or Ut Video Codec Suite, both of which are lossless AVI codecs that work nicely with Premiere Pro. PPro needs the 64-bit version, but I don't know enough about Vegas to know if you need 32-bit or 64-bit, so just install both. Note that the files will be much larger, but will not suffer any perceptible quality hit.
I'm not sure of any way to do a WMV rewrap--I'll see what I can find.

Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

Hello Community:
I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project. I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours. I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

Same issue. I previously used NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

Importing mov files in premiere pro cs5

I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on my machine and now, i have two issues.
1. I do have the latest quicktime installed but when i try to import *.mov files with audio, only the audio is imported and works fine. the video isn't, but I dont get a dialogue error box.
A). if the *.mov file has only video, i get a file import failure message saying " the file has no audio or video streams".
2. the next prob is my dymanic linking does not work.
Help please

Im trying something and I hope you can help me. I have two computers, one dedicated to capturing a event and the other I have is dedicated to playback. They share the hard drive via a network. What I want to know is- is there a way for the dedicated playback machine to access a video file that is still being captured by the capturing machine and play back parts of it in a sequence??

Zone Alarm, eh? I used to use that program, but it got in the way of almost everything that I did, that I canned it completely.
Glad that removing ZA solved your issue.
Personally, I find MOV Animation CODEC to be quite good, and use that for a lot of work. Jeff Bellune, here, like the Photo JPEG format, but I have not explored that.
Good luck,

what should i do???..i almost done all the editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.

thats way too vague of a question... best what? quality? size? playback?
best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

Media Files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have several large 60GB media video files I will be importing into the project section of Premiere Pro CS5.5 These files are stored on an external hard drive (will be using FW800) where I plan on working with these files from the external HD. The question I have is, once I import them into the project section of Premiere Pro CS5.5 and start editing with various pieces of video from the project files, will the original media files residing on the external HD be changed or edited in anyway or will they remain the same? It is my understanding that these files will remain unchanged and that CS5.5 will just use the data from the original files and then once the PP Project is exported, the data will just be copied from the original media and the original media files remain unchanged? I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this to be ture. Thank you!

When working from external HDD's, here's a tip: make sure to set the drive letter for that external (on a PC) HDD in the computer's OS, so that it will ALWAYS be the same, everytime that it is plugged in, or turned on, regardless of the order.
The links to those media files are absoute Paths, so if anything in the Path changes, the links will be broken.
Good luck,

Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

I try to post in English.
I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
Thanks for answers

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

How do I remove the watermark when importing WMV files into Premiere Pro?

There is some metadata that adds a media player watermark to my WMV files when I import them into Premiere Pro. I can play the original WMV videos with out the watermark on VLC, but the watermarks show up when I play them on Realplayer. So I know there is something that reads the watermark into the video file and I want to know if there is a way to turn it off in Premiere. I can convert the wmv with Any Video Converter and there is no watermark, but I'd like to avoid this step if I can.

Unfortunately my client doesn't know how the videos were created. My guess is that they were created using some free screen recorder. Most of the videos are recorded PPTs.
I've checked the microsoft site, but haven't found anything relevant.
Thanks for the suggestion.

General Error for Importing files in Premiere Pro CS6

I have used the adobe Premiere Pro since it's inception, and haven't had this problem with it's persistency before. I've scoured the net looking for an answer and haven't been able to find one.
So, the issue is that common one: "importer reported a generic error".
This is a MacBook Pro computer.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the software, the computer has been cleaned and there shouldn't be any remnants of previous versions, etc. I have also downloaded the functional content from Adobe.
Downloading the functional content, this time, only fixed some of the importing errors. First, it was most of the files, if not all of my media files, from DVDs that could not be imported. (These are My DVDs with My original footage.) Now, after downloading the content files, I have about half of the files as imported no problem, and the other half remain the same.
Is there any answer out there for this particular fix? Thanks for the help!

4 hours sounds about right for this source material on such a system. Better hardware may be needed to reduce the exporting time or you have to convert the source material to a less demanding format.

Batch Processing doesn't update files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should be under 'Audition' or 'Premiere Pro', but I'm selecting a large range of audio clips (from a wedding ceremony) and sending to Audition from Premiere (selecting 'Edit in Adobe Audition')
When the clips appear in the files section of Audition I select 'Batch Process', drop them in and make the batch process start. When everything is finished and the files are automatically saved, I head over to Premiere to see if the wav's have updated - but nothing. Everything is exactly the same.
Any help would be great?
I'm not adding any prefix's etc to the filename, and I'm selecting 'overwrite existing files' and 'same location as original files'.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Durin,
Sorry for the delay, had a couple of deadlines to meet and ended up doing the hundred-or-so clips one-by-one in audition to get it done.
That's the issue exactly, I go back to Premiere after doing the batch process (and they all auto-save) but Premiere doesn't update the waveform or in fact the audio doesn't show the changes I've just made. The strange thing is that if I do them one by one, then Premiere recognizes the changes and I can get on with it.
The steps I take are: 1) Drop the clip in the timeline, do a bunch of editing (occasionally nesting and multi-cam editing a sequence). 2) Right click and Edit in Audition 3) Open Batch Process in Audition 4) Drag drop all the files just sent to Audition from Premiere, into the Batch Process section 5) Run batch process 6) Go back to Premiere and see if it's updated in the timeline. I wait, and wait, but nothing. Everytime.
I'm thinking it's something simple I've clicked, but have no idea what. Either that or it's some sort of bug issue.
I will be upgrading to CS6 creative cloud soon, hopefully that'll fix it.
If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, thanks for trying.

How to manage media cache files in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

I hope my question is not too complicated but I still haven't figured this one out.
Here goes:
Whenever I open a project in Premiere Pro, the media cache files used are always the same ones from a prior project.
For example, if I open project ABC, the scratch disk used, the media cache and media cache files are from the ABC project file.
Then, if I open another document, XYZ, the scratch disk and the media cache files are again stored in the ABC project file.
HOW DO I CHANGE THE SETTINGS SO THE SCRATCH DISK AND MEDIA CACHE ARE THE ONES SPECIFIC TO THE PARTICULAR PROJECT I OPEN?
So I don't have to move all the cache files manually or change the settings in Premiere every time I open a project.
Sorry for the long description. Thanks for your help. Daniel Martel. Quebec. Canada.

You can't (unless you want to store them next to the originals, a proposition I find untenable). Some of the scratch disk settings are stored at the project level (things like video and audio previews), but the one's you're talking about are global - one setting for the whole program.
I don't like that arrangement myself. ALL scratch disks should be stored per project.

Importing .mts AVCHD files into Premiere Pro CS5.5: can it be done?

Is it possible to import .mts files from a memory card into Premiere Pro? Whenever I try to, I get a message that reads "Codec not supported".
My camera is a Sony Alpha A55, and this worked perfectly well in Final Cut Pro X.

I am not using the Sony Alpha A55 which might use a different codec than my other Sony's (CX-550V and HX5V) BUT I am using PP on an iMac. For different reasons (one of which being that I already used this approach with FCE), I am converting my raw mts files into mov files using ClipWrap ($50, very fast, they have a trial version for download). This has many advantages:
- the footage is UNTOUCHED. It is just put into a different container.
- the mov files are WATCHABLE in the Finder (and everywhere else, including PP).
- the mts files can be dragged and dropped (without bothering about the folder structure) directly into ClipWrap (or first on your HD if you want).
This being said, my experience is that even those files are too much for my (I thought) powerful iMac to scrub through once basic editing has started. So I resorted to transcoding to proxy mpeg2 intermediate files (so that I don't fill up my HD too quickly) and only before exporting my sequence, replace the proxy footage by the original (well converted) mov files. I am still working out the ideal workflow...
Try the ClipWrap demo to see if the codec is supported. If not, they are a very responsive company and will most likely update their software rapidly (for free).
HTH.
PS: I paid for my software, so I am just a satisfied customer reporting on the product.

Importing MTS files into Premiere Pro cs5

I have been reading though some threads recently and now it has me wondering what I am missing on this subject. I have been working with MTS files for quite a while and have been dragging the folder into my project and rendering from there. (iMac 2012 with retina display)
Does this method affect the quality of these files? Is it better to convert them from a converter program and then import them? Also I have not been able to use any of the clips unless I keep them attached to the whole. Noticing this is not the case for my friend who uses .mov. Is there a way around that, that I am not aware of.
Coming from SD digital tape based camera to the Canon XA10 using ACVHD cards the quality already looks better to me, but if there is a chance it can look even better than I want to try that method out.
Thanks for any help/ideas I can get.

Options for old video in Premiere Pro CS6

Hello, so I recently discovered a VHS tape from a long time ago that contained family videos that were professionally transferred from old actual film to this VHS tape. I copied the VHS tape to a DVD so I could work with it in PP but with all the effects available, I really don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated. I will tell you the video is grainy in spots and we kind of like that because it captures how old the films were when they were taken. Basically what I am looking for is if anyone can speak to any of the effects, or combinations of effects, that could enhance the video. I am intermediate level at least so thanks for your time.
