Encore in Prem pro CS3

Have spent a while looking how to get encore to work in my downloaded trial copy of Prem pro CS3
I have put in markers
when I go to export Encore is light greyed out and not in dark grey am I missing something??

I don't have the link handy, but the last time someone asked about this I went to the download page and then looked at the FAQ
There are SEVERAL steps to take to convert the PPro3 trial to real software... part of which is not just download "some codec stuff" but actually downloading AND installing Encore3 (and OnLocation?)
So... you need to download AND install more software, not just codecs

Prem Pro cs3 causes windows 7/ 64 to become corrupt

Having installed prem pro cs3 in win 7/64, I get frequent crashes and eventually windows reports that windows explorer is unable to start. This means that win cannot start or if already running cannot access anything. Can only be cured by a new installation of windows.have repeated this process several times with Prem the only program installed. Might work ok for a few days then it starts all over again. Any ideas anyone? Hve tried restore and repair etc. No good.

Strange problem between Prem Pro CS3 and Canon ZR950

I bought CS3 and a Canon ZR950 thinking they were compatible. I ended up having to install Firewire and using the special 4-pin to 6-pin cord. It almost works.
According to Windows XP the drivers for both the "Canon DV Camcorder" and the "Texas Instruments OHCI Complaint IEEE 1394 Host Controller" are working properly. The firewire works properly with other devices. When I place the camcorder in PLAY and insert the cable the computer recognizes it as a camcorder and gives me choices of programs to use - Premiere Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Vegas Movie Studio, and Media Import 8.
I've tried uninstalling the camcorder drivers and when reattached they self install again "correctly". If I use Windows Movie Maker I get a warning "An unknown error has occured" and it stops working. If I use Vegas Movie Studio 9 I get an eror message saying "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" could not be opened. If I use Roxio Media Import 8 I can get it to start the camcorder screen replay but none of the other computer program controls work and it's doesn' save anything or show up on the computer screen.
The only one that gets to the next step is Premiere Pro. It will actually open and wait for input. When I select Capture the window opens but nothing works until I go to the Settings tab, Device Control, Options button. There I select NTCS, Canon, Standard, and Auto detect. There is no specific choice for the ZR950. It only goes up to Z70. I've tried various settings but it doesn't make any difference.
Here's the strange thing. Regardless of whether I change the options or not, even if I only open up the Options menu and close it again, the controls on my computer screen will now control the camera for playback, foward, reverse, stop but it will only show up on the camera screen, not on my computer screen. In addition, there is no capture going on. In other words, I can use my computer as a giant controller to watch my videos on my camera screen, but that's it.
I suspect there is something wrong with the settings on the camera, but haven't gotten any word back from Canon yet. Any suggestions you can offer here would be appreciated.

Hu Simon...thanks for the answer but how i already writed in my post im on a macbook pro(internal audio card are out of the question)...
anyway are you suggesting that adobe doesnt work well with usb audio devices???
becouse for now i have to stick with it....

Prem Pro CS3 to Soundbooth problems

When I edit an audio track from a video file in PPCS3 using Soundbooth, I can make changes that are reflected in PPCS3, unless I convert a stereo track into mono.
Anyone know how I can convert a stereo track to mono that is automatically updated in PPCS3?

Prem Pro CS3. Title screen resizes itself.

Each time I open the titling screen it will gradually enlarge the two left hand panels (a little each time I open it) eventually squeezing the right hand side properties panel (fonts etc) down to almost nothing.
I have to keep dragging things back to resize all the time very annoying.
Can anyone please tell me how to stop this annoying fault.
Thanks

Actually somebody presented a "fix" for this.
If I remember right, the "fix" was to put the tools-bin in the bottom of the Title-screen (but it could be somewhere else).
It was a long time ago, but maybe a search will bring up something.

Prem Pro CS3 audio becomes intermittent after a while

This has been going on for a while and I have only now decided to do something about it:
While working on a project in PPCS3, after a while the audio starts to become intermittent. Its as though a buffer has become full and the audio data demand is more than the buffer can supply. I can't seem to find a way to Purge any buffer (if there is one). Are there settings I can adjust to prevent this?
My system is XP64 SP2 RAM 8GB Quad CPUs
Scratch locations: C: 66GB. J: 1.2TB
Re-starting PremPro solves the problem for a while and it then starts all over again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Mark

Yes, I'm planning on going to CS5.5 but I was hopeing to stay with my present XP64 OS set up, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not sure all of the AFX plug-ins that I use are happy with Win7
Thanks.

Keeping Prem Pro 2 and CS3 together.

I have just installed Prem Pro CS3, and await my Matrox RTX2 tools Ver3. In the meantime I would like to still use prem pro 2 with Matrox RTx2 tools Ver 2. Unfortunately, when I try to open Prem pro2 it fails to open beyond the initial flash screen for a second or two. Does anyone know how I can have both programs working on the same system?

Just in case anyone else is having this trouble - I've managed to solve it I think! - Install CS3, then just repair Prem Pro2. It seems to work.

Audio balance greatly different in Encore CS3 after encoding 5.1 master track in Premiere Pro CS3

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone can offer some advice for my DVD audio problem.
I have a Premiere Pro CS3 project with a 5.1 master track that appears to behave correctly judging by the meters when I play it in PP. It also sounds reasonable (in a mixed-down fashion, I guess) on my PC system's speakers (L,R,LFE), and all rebalancing and panning seems to work well. However, once I export the master track to Encore using PP's SurCode Dolby Digital codec, the resulting audio mix is totally off. Here's what I get: both front channels play mainly out of the right front and center speakers, and the rear channels play mainly out of the left front speaker. I've tried all different settings, but I can't seem to change this. Well I've read that Encore just sends the audio mix straight through (the DVD trancode status is "Don't transcode"), but when I build the DVD and play it on both of my 5.1 surround systems, the results are just as bad as what my desktop PC speakers were hinting at. [Actually all DVDs that Encore builds are UNSUPPORTED on one of my set-top DVD players and they're both Panasonic! So first, I first have to copy the DVD using Nero and then the copy is accepted by all. That seems to have no bearing on my audio dilemma but I thought I'd mention it. I would love to know what Nero is doing right that Encore is doing wrong!)
Anyway, here's some background: I began to notice this problem with the audio balancing whenever a .wav music source is imported into PP as a stereo source. [A side issue here - I don't seem to be able to explain - or control - how one .wav file gets imported as stereo while another is imported as 5.1!] Anyway, as one would expect, since my master track is 5.1, the stereo track is automatically set up with a rebalancing tray with the puck set in the middle. The meters show that the source is stereo and the sound has been rebalanced across the master track. If I drag the puck around, the master meters behave accordingly. Then I import my video (.avi video clip) and that sound is imported as a stereo track. For that track, I drag the puck to the rear. Again, the master meters respond correctly. So far so good. But when I export to Encore, the resulting audio mix so completely wrong it can't even be explained as a 5.1-to-stereo downmix situation. The sounds that were supposed to come out of the rear channels are in front left and center (and deafening), overpowering the music that is only coming out of front right. And the rear speakers are silent unless I turn on Pro-Logic on my amplifier, which just confuses the issue. I didn't bother to check LFE as things were bad enough.
Where I DO NOT have the problem is when the audio file is imported as a 5.1 source (although it is just a stereo CD track ripped using Sony CD Architect). In that case, there is no rebalancing tray and the track meter shows only the L and R channels active, as expected. Ditto for the master track. Now if I go ahead and send the music to a stereo submix track and let that rebalance to the master, I see all channels active. But that results in the problem above after exporting to Adobe Media Encoder using SurCode and then importing the audio into Encore. If I don't remix to 5.1, the audio on the DVD is OK. But I would like to have the music come out of all speakers when there isn't a video soundtrack as there are many still pictures in the presentation.
So the question is, if I can rebalance and pan channels in PP CS3, why are the results coming out all wrong in Encore using SurCode? And how can I hear my project on DVD the same way I mixed in PP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem solved everyone!!!
Rebecca of Adobe support helped me identify the root cause: project was originally set up as standard (2-channel) and although it had evolved to a 5.1 project over time, it could never grow up to be anything other than a standard audio project. After you set up the new project, the setting that controls your audio is buried in the project somewhere. Changing your project settings to set up new 5.1 audio tracks for new timelines does NOT make the project 5.1! The real audio identity attribute set at birth is not alterable OR EVEN VISIBLE (even as a grayed-out project setting) although PP will allow you to set up and mix 5.1 audio tracks at will. So you may think you're working on a 5.1 project now, but you're only fooling yourself and PP goes right along with it. Even the .ac3 files you create via export are 5.1! But dare to build your DVD in Encore and all of your timelines are transcoded back to 2.0 instantly. Resistance is futile.
A new feature in PP CS4 will allow you to view, and even CHANGE, your project's audio identify from standard to 5.1. How sweet!
Well, I've devised a way to dig out myself out of this deep hole in CS3 and it worked, but I can't promise that it will work for everyone. (This assumes you own the Dolby Digital 5.1 codec from Minnetonka.)
1. Create a new Premiere Pro project as 5.1 audio from the get-go.
2. Import your suspected 2.0 project into this new 5.1 project and click each sequence to flesh out the timeline.
3. Re-export all audio as elemental streams using Adobe Media Encoder. Make sure you export the audio component of each timeline as Dolby Digital 5.1 and exactly - and I mean EXACTLY - the same way. To deviate the audio settings for each timeline is to ask for trouble, so I recommend setting up an audio pre-set that you can just click when you need it.
4. Create a new Encore project and import all original video assets and your new replaced and, hopefully, 5.1 audio assets into it.
5. In Encore, create a separate timeline for each pair of assets (.m2v and .ac3 for example). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLACE MULTIPLE PAIRS OF ASSETS ON THE SAME TIMELINE! For some unexplained reason, the build process will transcode the audio back to 2.0, and if you continue pack new 5.1 audio assets on the same timeline, you will get an error message "an input contract violation has occurred" because you now have 2.0 and 5.1 assets on the same timeline, even though you really don't know that and didn't ask for that to happen anyway. (Thanks to Bill Hunt who mentioned his habit of keeping the asset pairs on separate timelines in another thread - that suggestion was absolutely essential to the solution here.)
6. In Encore, check to make sure that all of your original video sychs up correctly with the new, true 5.1 audio. Link the end actions of each timeline with the next timeline to play in the correct sequence. Check your project for orphan timelines and other errors. Then, before you start building menus and start getting fancy, build a DVD and make sure it plays as 5.1 on your system.
Tip #1: while you're re-exporting and replacing the audio files, don't have Encore running. I've seen it gracefully and automatically re-import the replaced file once the export is done, but I have also seen it choke with the terribly descriptive "Encore has encountered a problem" message upon discovered the asset is not available while it is being replaced. Encore then continues to mark the asset as offline.
Tip #2: when re-exporting and replacing files, always select audio and video separately. For some reason, Encore will allow you to replace an .ac3 file when you perform an elemental audio export, but when you try to combine video and audio and both files exist, Encore will prompt you to replace the video, but immediately abort with an error that it cannot replace the .ac3 file, thus forcing you to delete the .ac3 component manually before trying again.

Trial Première pro CS3 combined with Sony DHR-1000NP/No sound rendering the Première Project

Dear friends,
I am a belgian and I have many years of good experience with Pinnacle DV500, Adobe Première 6.0 and the Sony DV Recorder DHR-1000NP.
As I want to make a further step, I downloaded the trial of Adobe Première Pro CS3; I installed this trial on 2 OTHER computers, Windows Professional XP , SP2. With both I have the same problem!
I get good .avi's from my DV tapes, played with the same Sony DV Recorder DHR-1000NP, over a fire wire, connected with the OHCI of the computer.
When playing the obtained Première project, the video and audio on the screen and the amplifier of the computer, are perfect; the videosignal over the firewire and the Sony DV Recorder DHR-1000NP is also perfect, but there is absolutely NO audiosignal reaching the Sony DV Recorder DHR-1000NP.
Who can explain me how I should manage that problem?
Thank you for helping!
With my best regards,
Marc

Beste Marc
Ik heb vandaag de upgrade gedaan naar Premiere Pro CS3. Ik werkt normaal op XP Pro, met capturekaart DVStorm2 (waarmee ik via Premiere Pro 1.5 goed kon werken. Hierop hangt mijn Sony DHR-1000NP.
Na de install van de CS3-versie heb ik geconstateerd dat de DVStorm2 niet meer werkt. Dus ik naar de winkel om een PCI-poort IEEE1394.
Het rare is nu...
wanneer ik de DHR-1000 hierop aansluit start Premiere CS3 op, maar vertelt me dat ik niet in EDIT-mode kan. Capture-window opent, ik kan de video besturen, maar de record-button is disabled.
Met een kleine camera (sony DCR-trv270e) lukt het wel.
Mijn vraag... hoe heb jij jouw DHR-1000 aan de praat gekregen?
Er is duidelijk niets mis met de PCI-kaart, wel met het toetsel dat ik aansluit.
In configuratiescherm komt onmiddellijk wanneer ik de DHR-1000 aansluit een "other devices" warning, geel vraagteken, met AV/C tuner, driver not installed. DOen heeft geen zin, er is geen driver voor.
Ik zou het echt op prijs stellen mocht je me op de goede baan brengen. Ik wil je eventueel eens bellen... mijn nr is 0485/30 31 97.
Van harte bedankt

Encore & Premiere Pro CS3 with Photoshop CS5

Hi,
I have the CS3 suite on Vista 32 bit. I was wondering if I can keep the Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3 and only upgrade Photoshop to CS5. Has anyone had any compatibility issues using this combination? Can Encore CS3 menus be easily edited in Photoshop CS5?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum
You cannot upgrade to a standalone program from a Suite.
But to answer your question: yes you can edit Encore CS3 menus with Photoshop CS5.

If you have premiere pro CS3, do still need to buy Encore CS3 to use all its feature?

I have purchased and installed premiere pro CS3 on my computer and according to the documentation that came with it, it says that Encore CS3 is include with premiere pro CS3, does it mean that I dont need to purchase Encore CS3 as a standalone software, and be able to use all Encore CS3 feature inside premiere pro CS3. Thank you for your help.

Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

Hi everyone,
I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection. All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain. All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons. When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment. In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3. I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved. To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card. The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
This works great...on my office computer.
The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio. I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears. If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio. All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines. If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio. Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week. Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies. Again, video imports, audio doesn't. No audio layer appears.
Thanks!

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?
I am looking for a program that I can:
Import files that were recorded on a DVR (mp4 format)
Take two files placed next to each other on one screen and record a DVD
| | | |
| | | |
| image one | | image two |
| | | |
|______________| |_______________|
Also export the files to other file formats, AVi, MOV

Dave,
Premiere can do a PiP, Picture in Picture (basically, your PiP is one half of the frame), BUT your MP4 source is not the best to edit, especially with PP. If you had DV-AVI files, Captured in PP from a miniDV (tape) vid-cam, it would do a great job, but so would its little brother Premiere Elements, which wants the same source files as PP.
I have not used Womble, that Jeff recommends, but think that it has PiP. Ideally, you want to keep any re-compression down to a minimum, as you are already working with compressed MPEG files, and every additional re-compression WILL cause image degredation. Depending on the CODEC used to create your MP4 files, you have probably lost a lot of info already, and when you go to MPEG-2 (DV CODEC), for DVD, you'll loose even more. About the only way that I see you keeping any quality is if your MP4's are coded for Blu-Ray, and you can find a program with Smart Render, leaving them just as they are, allowing you to edit, then burning to a BD. Lot of "if's" in that.
I'd check out Womble and see if it can do PiP and if it works with MP4. If Jeff recommended it, it's very likely to do that. Juat expect a major quality hit, because you're already compressed the heck out of the image data once, and will have to do it again.
You could convert your MP4's to DV-AVI with a 3rd party program, Import them into PP, or PE, edit and then burn to DVD - with Encore in PP, or directly from PE. See above for comments on quality hit. It's those source files that are the problem. That format is meant for distribution/viewing and not for editing. The effect, however, is easy as can be. There are many tutorials on how to do it with variations, on the Web, but nearly all NLE programs want better source material to start, if any quality is to be maintained.
I'd also post on the Premiere Elements forum, as a lot of people there work with less than ideal source files, and might know of good free, or cheap, conversion programs to use. If you have the CODEC on your machine, DigitalMedia Converter can handle the conversion for you, and do it in batch. It's cheap at ~ US$45, and can batch process, but it cannot improve the quality, or get back the data lost in the first compression - nothing can.
If this is all you want to do, with the above comments on conversion first taken seriously, Premiere Elements will cost about US$100 and do it easily.
Sorry for the bad news,
Hunt

Timecode from .m2t not visible in Premiere Pro CS3

Hi,
I've done a couple of HDV test captures using OnLocation to create an .m2t file. The DVR in OnLocation correctly displays timecode from the camera (Canon XH-A1) while recording and playing back clips. However, when I import the file into Premiere Pro CS3 I don't see the start time code in the file properties or when bringing up the "Timecode" window (off the file menu). In order to sync multi-camera clips I end up having to manually enter the time code using the info displayed by the OnLocation DVR for that clip.
What am I doing wrong here - I thought that I read somewhere that Premiere Pro would be able to directly read the timecode stamp from the .m2t file?
/BILLW

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, guys, but as I'm just starting my transition to tapeless I'm having the same issue. I'm recording to both tape and to the MRC1k on my Z5s; the TC comes in fine when I capture the tape, but all the transferred/imported m2t files from the MRC1k all start at zero. Normally I wouldn't care, but the main reason I dumped all my old cams and bought four Z5s with MRC1ks was for the ability to do real time of day free run timecode and sync the four cams together via TC LINK, while still going tapeless, for supposedly easy multicam sync by timecode on the timeline.
Using DVMP Pro I was able to confirm that the clips do in fact have the correct timecode on them (but no values in Properties for Prem Start and such).
Anyhow, anyone figured this out yet?
