Ex3 in Premiere

Hi,
Premiere dosen't seem to recognise my EX3 footage, it shows up the files in the BPAV folder structure in the media browser but when I try to import them it says 'the file has no audio or video streams'.
I think they are XDCAM right? I installed the drivers from the Sony website, but they seem to only have FCP ones.
Thanks!

We have an EX3. I'm not sure what you mean by "drivers" as there are none required, but at a guess do you mean the Sony XDCAM utility for FCP? Because that turns your footage into a version of the XDCAM codec that you need FCP installed to read. You should be able to just copy the folder structure into a new folder on your computer, and then within media broswer just right click -> import on that folder (not the sub folders) and it'll import all the media correctly.

Premier Pro CC can't edit XDCAM EX footage

Adobe: Please fix the bug that prevents Premiere Pro CC from playing XDCAM EX footage properly. It plays with glitches, pixelated, horrible, unusable.

I'm working with XDCAM HD (MXF from PDW700) and XDCAM (MP4 from EX3) in Premiere CC....
Everything works fine...maybe something wrong with your system?

Premiere pro cs6 hangs when media browser search for BVAP folder (from sony EX3 camera)

what do i need from opening these files?

Im have the exact same issue with the importing or P2 files and premere crashing/ hagingup, i on the other hand have been using adobe for over 4 years and never had this issue, i still have CS5 on comp and there are no problems there, kinda silly i cant use CS6 for work....
so what did you exactly do to fix issue??
also i know exactly what porblem u are running into with the aspect ratio problems, been an issue for as long as i have been working with adobe premere and HVX, and i can help u there, simply dont use DVCproHD sequence if you are going to DVD just do a DV widscreen sequence and all the ratio problems will fix when u go to encore. or use DVCproHD sequence but drop the entire sequence you worked on into a DV widscreen sequence or an HDV sequence and resize acordingly (make lager or smaler so fits properly in 16/9) the problem is some of the P2 cameras are not a true 16/9 there like 15/9 or somthing, its odd, anyway thats what i do, it doesnt really ad much time and it workes
Dear adobe plp if you read this, then you know about problem importing, whatever he did dosnt seem like you should have to do that... any questions feel free to contact me.

Adobe premiere 8.0 and 8.1...

We have kept videos as 1440*1080 resolution DVSPRO 100Mbps MXF codec and recorded .These files are sent with XML on editing and videos are edited on network.
We want to change that we use codec. We think using adobe premiere. Firstly,can we go on using present system with adobe premiere?
We want to use with 1920*1080 Mpeg2 35 Mbps.m2v. In this instance, can we use to carry that videos on the system by editing with XML for final cut or XML with Windows path ?
We tried that,It has beeen with adobe premiere pro CC trial 8.0.0 but has not been with 8.0.1 version and files been OFFLINE.
We want to edit over a sequence videos which took from different sources like gopro,5dmark3 xdcam,ex3,sony u1,Panasonic p2 etc….Can we do that?
Can we contack with anyone from Turkey?
We need to make sure in these issues to work fully with adobe .

What's a good HD camera to use with Premiere Pro CS4

I've used Premiere Pro CS4 for a while now and most of the time I don't have any problems, but recently, I've been buying HD cameras, shooting some AVCHD and then having a hell of a time getting them to play nice with Premiere Pro (or WMindows Media Player... or Quicktime... or anything but their crappy bundled software that won't let me edit or anything). My girlfriend says I should give up and buy a Mac and use FCP, but I like Premiere Pro. I'm about to take another camera back to Best Buy and I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for the easiest camera to use with Premiere Pro.
In case you're wondering, I've bought a Canon Vixia HF10 and a Samsung HMX-H100 so far and both had every issue I can think of from codec incompatibility to aspect ratios changing to A/V sync being lost to all-out-I-don't-know-WTF-just-happend-errors. I just want a camera that's going to give me a file I can drop straight into Premiere.

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

ProRes 422 file "corrupt" in Premiere (and Quicktime & VLC) but not in After Effects

We recorded a lengthy (c.90minute) seminar on an EX3 and an Atomos Samurai, to ProRes 422. We've noticed that the file glitches when it's played back in anything real-time, such as Premiere, VLC or Quicktime (we don't have a copy of FCP to test it on). What happens is that less than a second of picture will loop and stutter continuously for, say, 30 seconds, while the audio is just white noise. This happens seemingly at random (although at the same place in whichever software we're playing it back on), and infrequently: so far, in 90 minutes of footage we've found one 30" section which does this, and a few examples of it happening for a second or two.
BUT: as an experiment I tried importing the clip into AE, and it plays fine. I've been able to export a 1-minute long "patch" to a 4:2:2 MXF which doesn't glitch, which we've reimported into Premiere with no issues. Is there any reason why this should be - I had assumed that Premiere and AE would share the same low-level code used for playing back video, or is this not the case? Is it something to do with the fact that Premiere's trying to play it back in real-time while AE isn't?
Obviously, it's not a workable solution to have to keep running footage through AE. Is this a bug, or just one of those things?
Cheers
Nick

It is not the case.

That was my thought, too, given that even VLC stumbles on the clip. AE basically 'renders' everything for playback.

CANNOT IMPORT FCP .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

Hi,
Camera used:-Sony Pmw Ex3
Footage       :- XDCAM sp(1440 * 1080i) PAL
Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
Error            :- failed to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
I tried to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the error messege "The selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got the error "Codec missing or unavailable"
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.
Good luck,

Export to XDCAM EX3 MP4 Raw container?

I need to playback files on a Sony PMW-EX30 deck and the only file I can find that will play back on it is the raw MP4 container file. As of now I am having to export my project I have edited in Premiere CS5 to an .mov file then import into FCP to export as the MP4 EX3 container file. I would like to avoid this step but cant find a plug in or any other answers anywhere after serveral days of research. Does any one know how I can accomplish this? Thanks

Hey Dennis,
Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestions and the files are still not being recognized in the deck or camera. I even tried to change the file extension to .MP4 and still no luck. In order to acheive exporting in the proper format through FCP I found a plug in on the Sony Support site but I dont see anything for any Adobe products on there. Do you have any other suggestions or ideas to make this work? Thank you again for your help.

XDCAM audio issues in Premiere Pro CC

We run 4 New Mac Pro Towers at my shop with Adobe Creative Cloud, and we're editing on Premiere Pro CC. We were a Final Cut 7 shop until we were forced to choose between PP or FCX. I've recently been experiencing audio issues when ingesting XDCAM footage from my Sony EX3 Camera. While the video looks great when ingested into either XDCAM Browser, or when I drop the BPAV file into our external drive and bring it into PPCC, the audio becomes noisy and unusable.; while this same audio sounds excellent on all my other machines. I've uninstalled both the XDCAM Browser and Premiere software and reinstalled them, but have not had any luck so far. Meantime, none of my other machines are experiencing this issue. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

One way, assuming you are working in mono, pan A1 center and A2 right, this will give ambience to left and ambience and narration to right. If you are mixing and you don't want the ambience only track to change in level you will need to use subgroups but this will get more involved.

Problem with Premiere Pro CS5 project files bloating

Has anyone had the same problem that we're experiencing? - we have Production Premium CS5 installed on a machine with Win 7 Pro x64. We have three separate edits all of which are experiencing bloating of the .prproj project file. Often this bloating seems to occur when no importing of assets has occured, just changes in the edits. A project which started at 5mb has bloated to 1.5GB and we can no longer save it. Another project has bloated to 200mb and continues to grow in size. We have not brought in any weird assets, although we are using hi-def footage.
We upgrade from CS3 and never had this problem using Premiere CS3.
We can't fix the problem by 'remove unused footage' as this doesn't reduce the project size, although it does remove the unused footage.
We can't fix it by importing the project into a new clean project as the problem and huge file size just comes with
We can't fix it by using the project manager to collect up the project as it requires to save before collecting and the problem files can't be saved.
A couple of points to note - these projects were originally on Premiere CS3 and were upgraded to CS5. The footage is either Sony EX3 or Canon 5D - both HD.
The machine it's running on has 8gb of RAM.
Currently the projects I'm working on are gradually grinding to a hold with no way to make the files usable again.
Any suggestions are greatfully recieved as I'm at a loss. I've reported this to Adobe, and will report back if I get anything useful.
thanks.

TClark,
I'm shocked that you are having the same problem on a mac. This seems to suggest a problem that could be really widespread. You've also beaten my 1.5GB file bloat size.
What the hell is going on with Premiere Pro? I'm surprised to have heard nothing from Adobe either via my support request or on this forum, save for Jeremys useful work around, considering how serious an issue this is.
I've had to break all the projects I'm working on which have multiple timelines in each project into a new seperate project per timeline in order to reduce the file bloat problem and reduce the risk of me loosing all my work in one go on a bloated file.
Adobe - we could do with some help here. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on licences for this software only to have virtually non-existant help when a serious flaw in the software manifests itself.
Nat
Yeah...it's really a bummer that no one is acknowledging it. It's pretty serious!
I hope Dennis jumps in soon!

Premiere CC C300 playback crash

Hi there,
I have been running CS6 on my machine without any issues. Today I downloaded and installed CC 7.2.1 (4) and uninstalled CS6. I create a new project, and import a mix of C300 and 5D footage into bins. Everything seems to import without any trouble. When I open up the bins and begin to view C300 clips, Premiere crashes within about 15 seconds to a minute. I have created a new project and reimported the footage, only to run into the same problem. The point at which it crashes is not consistent or tied to a specific clip, but always happens very shortly after I begin viewing clips. After the crash happens, I can re-open the project and often succesfully play the clip that previously crashed Premiere only to have it crash while I am viewing another clip.
My specs are below.
Premiere CC 7.2.1 (4)
OS X 10.9.2
Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch, 2.7 Ghz i7, 16 GB RAM
I am viewing .MXF clips with the crashes happen. I get a OS X "Adobe Premiere Pro CC quit unexpectedly" error. I am running no other software at the same time, and have no third party codecs or effects installed.

Hello,
Did you ever find out what was causing your problem? Unfortunately, I do not have an answer, but a similar problem. I'm running Premiere CC v.7.2.2 on Windows 7, and when I edit footage from the Sony EX3 (.MP4) and Canon T3i (.MOV) I have no problems. However, when I try to use footage from the Canon C300, I run into a lot of problems. I've already changed playback resolution to half, but I still get really laggy playback. Clips switch back to "media pending" often, and indefinitely. Sometimes my playback window only shows black even though video is definitely present. One time the playback window showed the video with crazy florescent colors that were not present. I also start having issues using Dynamic Link between After Effects and Premiere. I'll import a Premiere sequence into After Effects with no problem, but then randomly the link will be broken and I have to reconnect over and over. I have never encountered this Dynamic Link problem, ever. Eventually, this all usually ends in the frozen "not responding" screen in Premiere and I have to force quit.
Anyone?

Weird distortion in Premiere and After effects CS6 - need urgent help!

Hello,
I've got a serious problem!!! While I was editing a sportsevent I noticed that a lot of shots have some weird distortion. I allready had this problem with other projects. At first I thought it was a problem with my camera (sony EX3).
But today I started digging more into it.
I recorded some test footage and didn't import it into Premiere. Instead I tryed to play it straight from the camera with VLC media player. To my suprise the shot was perfect. Then I opend it with premiere and after effects.
I didn't change anything on the shot and the distortion came back! Then I exported it using media encoder.
I uploaded two clips: 1 rendered with Premiere, and 1 just straight out of the camera.
Even when rendered the distortion is in the shot!
Here is the shot straight out of the camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TNfsltos_s
And here is the shot rendered in Premiere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbctDm2VhWM
I would be very happy if someone can help me out with this! I can't deliver a project to a client with this distortion!

Ask in the Premiere forum and provide at least some system info. Looks like decoding issues to me, which would boil down to hardware acceleration issues...

Pinwheel of Death while importing folders to Premiere

Just got Adobe CC and am using the new Premiere Pro. Am working on a documentary film, with multiple camera sources. Have been importing files from all the different camera sources, including Panasonic VX200 files, Sony EX3, Canon 60D. All my folders and files have imported fine, except for one folder of Panasonic VX200 files (other folders from the same Camera on the same day loaded fine). When I attempt to import that particular folder, it almost loads, then I get the spinning wheel of death. Anyone know what causes this and how to fix this? Thanks

There are many possible causes of the symptoms that you describe. I assume this is a standalone machine (meaning not part of a domain) so many of the Directory Services issues can be discounted. However, do you have virtualization software installed? Have you run fsck to check for disk damage? Have you tried starting in Safe Mode? Also, since you appear to have more than one machine, I would recommend enabling Remote Login (SSH) from the Sharing Panel. Then when the system boots to the login window, use the other working machine to ssh into the one exhibiting trouble. Use top to watch active processes and tail to watch the log files (most likely system.log). Find out if they are reporting errors.
Also, since you say this never happens when it is at an Apple Store, I am also going to guess that you are using wired networking. Try logging into your machine with the Ethernet cable pulled out.
Let the forum know the results of these tests.
Hope this helps

Premiere does not recognize Codec MOV?

I have Premiere 5.0.3 recently updated and tried to import MOV files recorded with Sony PMW-EX3.
i get message: Codec missing or unavailable?

I performed the steps from post one again just in case if i have missed something
and nothing yet?
this is so ridiculously strange and annoying
i don't know what to do next but for sure i am not going to format my PC just for the premiere!
any other advices or opinions please?

Is my system o.k. for encoding full HD in Premiere?

I need some insight here ...
Let me start by saying ... for more than 15 years I have been a producer ... and hardly ever got in front of an editing machine to edit myself ... but now for the last 3 years ... I have been doing more and more editing ... I don't know much about the hardware side of things ... only enough to know ... I don't know much ...
I have the following:
Windows vista 64bit
asus p5kc motherboard
Intel core 2 quad Q6600 2.4ghz cpu
gforce 8800gt gpu
8gb ram
300gb raptor C-Hard drive (that's where the CS4 software is ...)
1tb Seagate (sata) (that's where the content is)
(and two other hard drives)(sata) (with graphics, ect)
I'm running premiere cs4 and I'm trying to render and encode Sony ex3 (1920x1080) video, along with some full screen HD graphic beds ... with a two box overlay of video and jpegs ...
It's taking around 6 times longer than real-time to encode (1hr video is taking 6 hours to encode) ... is that normal for a system like mine?
I did just get a matrox compressHD card ... to help ... but the pc drivers don't come out for a few weeks ... I really just want to know if I'm missing something here (like a bottleneck in my system) ... or is that how long it takes to compress full HD.
Sorry if I left out any vital info ... I just don't know what else is vital to figure this out ...
Thank you in advance for any insight on this issue ...
Paul

Harm,
Thank you for you insight ... I see that you are on this board helping all the time ... so, thank you for helping others ...
As far as the encoding ... it seems like all of the formats you listed are slow ... I have tried H.264 and DVD
bit rates are on preset ...so, let me check on that info and I'll list it here later ...
I'm on single pass ... and max quality ... (any chance you could ballpark the render time difference between max quality and good quality?)
... but just knowing that the system seems to be performing o.k. ... tells me I'm not dealing with a bottleneck issue ...
(but ... I hope the "compresshd" card will help when the drives come out for pc ...)
Thank you for your time,
Paul
