"Export frame" exporting first frame in clip, not frame at source playhead

I'm running Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on a Retina MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.5.  I'm working from a project on an external drive and I noticed just today that when I go to a frame in the source window and select "export frame", it is now exporting the first frame in the source clip and not the one my playhead is on.  This has never happened before, it wasn't even happening yesterday.  I restarted Premiere and it appears to still be doing this.  Anyone seen this bug before?

OK.

  • Hello, 2 questionss here is it possible or is there a way to convert all object s outlines in all frames to fills at once and not frame by frame? and why sometimes erases the outline instead of converting it to fill?

  • Export Markers to CSV - limitations of Clip Notes

    One of the problems with Clip Notes is that it only works well for first generation notes. Adding responses is an exercise in patience that is certainly beyond me. And that's the polite way of expressing it!
    Until someone at Adobe revises the functionality in Acrobat to make responding less an exercise in window scrolling and more just about entering text in the fastest way possible and printing it out, it would be far easier if one could just respond on the timeline marker level and then export all notes to a tab delimited text file. There have been hints here about a plug in to do it but they've only been hints. Can anyone point me to the right person or place? Please?

    Well, this is a constant problem I see everywhere in Adobe UI design. Everything seems to be initially conceived for the lowest common denominator of use. There are only two reasons I can see for this - someone in charge thinks that it's cheaper and/or the designers don't actually use the software except in a cursory way. The first reason is just plain dumb because fixing the stuff afterward is far more expensive than doing it right the first time. I mean look at Premiere Pro. The awful design choices in 1.0 are still being fixed and will continue to be for the next two to three versions, if ever.
    To be fair, no software is initially created 'perfect'. It's just that of all companies whose products I've used over the last 25 years, I think Adobe typically fairs the worst out the gate. They're trying to change that now, with user consultation much earlier in the design process but I still see that same old mind set at work.

  • Any way to default on FIRST of multiple clips loaded in the Source Monitor?

    When dragging 2 or more clips to the Source Monitor, or using the 'Open in Source Monitor' contextual menu in the Project window, the clip that automatically gets displayed in the Source Monitor is the last clip of the list, rather than the first one.  WHY? 
    Basic Human Logic 101 dictates that editors would always want the FIRST clip of the list to automatically be displayed rather than the LAST.  For example, if I open CLIP001 to CLIP025 in my Source Monitor, why on Earth would I ever want to trim and send CLIP025 to the Timeline first, before CLIP001 to CLIP024?  THIS BACKWARDS WORKFLOW IN PREMIERE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!  Adobe, please fix this unhelpful annoyance.  I encounter it dozens of times on every project, and I imagine that every single editor out there that uses the Source Monitor to load several clips at once also encounters this illogical annoyance.
    If there's already a way to change this setting that I'm not aware of, I would love to know!  Otherwise I'll be sending Adobe an official FR to get this fixed.
    Thank you!

    I think you misunderstood what I'm asking for.
    I'm asking for the first newly loaded clip to always be shown by default when loading several clips in the Source Monitor.  So if the Source Monitor already contains CLIP001 to CLIP025, and you load CLIP026 to CLIP050, CLIP026 should automatically be shown, NOT CLIP050, as Premiere currently does.  Defaulting to the first clip in the list (CLIP001) when adding new clips would make as little sense as the way it currently works, so of course I wouldn't want, nor am I asking for that.
    I always load 25-30 clips in the Source Monitor for trimming at a time.  It's the most efficient workflow I've come up with and I'm quite surprised none of the responders work that way.  I load up a bunch of clips all at once, and then set IN (1) and OUT (2) points on the current Source Monitor clip, and then send the selected range to my Timeline (5).  Keys 3 and 4 go back and forward in the list of loaded clips.  JKL controls playback.  This allows the editor to quickly pre-select material for editing using only the keyboard.  Once I finish going through my clips, I load another 30 or so clips.  Quick.  Efficient... exept for the fact that Adobe decided to work backwards, by always showing the last loaded clip instead of the first.
    I think this would be a relatively easy thing for Adobe to fix.  I won't indulge any petty arguments about what Adobe should be fixing first, second or third.  That's for them to decide.  I'd rather spend my time and effort bringing up topics that others haven't yet.  Thinking outside the box is the only way for Premiere to evolve.

  • "Could not read from source" exporting on Mac with CS4

    I'm using Premiere CS4 on a MacBook Pro, trying to export a film and getting the  "could not read from source" message.  I did not have CS3, and I'm not on a pc, so the Windows KB articles and posts don't apply.  I've read all the posts I can find on the forums but none of these solutions is helping to date.
    Are there any troubleshooting steps someone can recommend to figure out what I need to do here?
    Here's the trace, any assistance is MUCH appreciated!

    I have been having the same issue on my desktop and laptop, although I have Windows XP Professional.  Originally had CS3 and then installed CS4.  The problem was fixed by uninstalling everything Adobe (even Reader), using the wincs3sclean, and reinstalling the CS4 products.  The first time it did't work on my laptop, so I did it a second time and it worked.  I don't have Creative Suite, but this still works.  Here is the link to wincs3clean:

  • Clip Notes .pdf error - "Bad encrypt dictionary"

    I'm using OS X Leopard (10.5)
    I created a Premiere Pro 2.0.1 project, added a couple of markers with comments, and exported to Clip Notes. I did not set any password protection. Emailed it as an attachment to a client who is using Windows, to see if they could open it. They could not, they received the following error message:
    "There was an error opening this document. Bad encrypt dictionary."
    Any ideas what this is? Is there a basic incompatibility between Mac-generated Clip Notes files and Windows platform? (I know that Mac can only export the video file in a Clip Notes .pdf as QuickTime, but that does not seem to be the problem here, the client does have QT on their Windows PC.)
    Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I could not find any obvious place to post questions about Clip Notes .pdf files.

    Same thing happened to me.  Update your adobe reader to the latest version.  Open the file with that reader instead of with your copy of adobe acrobat.  Unfortuanltey, you lose all the features of the adobe software, but at least you can read the file.
    Hope you are able to read the doucments from the utility.
    Note:  If you are saving pdf's save then in a version that will allow those who have at least acrobat 6.0.  Many orgnaizations and people are a couple of versions behind due to realative costs of upgrading.  This simple task will save you those emails about "bad encrypt dictionary" and allow many to read your pdf's with no problems.  At least that's been my experience.

  • Drop Frame video (29.97) with Non-Drop Frame Time Code

    Howdy All,
    I understand that DF TC & Non-Drop frame TC are numbering issues and not frame
    count issues, That said,
    If I have an encoded file captured from an analog Beta Cam SP that has NDF TC
    and that file has been encoded as 29.97, so that the resulting file has
    a Frame rate of 29.97 with NDF TC from the source tape,
    1) Does this constitute an error?.
    2) Will this cause problems for the next guy?.
    (having been "The Next Guy" in the past I prefer to handle such things on this end if it requires handling)
    I have been looking for a straight answer but this specific cause/effect
    is tough to track down.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance,
    KA

    Well, starting as a linear editor I can tell you jam syncing and converting to DF will really screw up the TC. Every 10 seconds you'll have a TC number that's incompatible with the DF counting sequence.
    If these are source tapes, you have nothing to worry about. I actually prefer NDF source while editing (I'm very old school) beacuse if I trim 5 frames on a mark I can calculate in my head where the new point would land regarding TC. With DF, I trim and often have to do a double take because the math didn't make sense.
    Do NOT ever alter the time code on any source material unless you have a capture failure that you have absolutely no other way of working around.
    Anyone can mix DF and NDF source time code on any system without any issues. The only problem with NDF is determining EXCACT running time of a completed program when delivering for broadcast.

  • Dual-track audio after export plays on first clip, but not on second?

    So, I've been working on a project with video that has two audio tracks, and they play fine in the preview window in premiere, but as soon as I export them, the first clip of it works, but the second clip I have does not have the second audio track, just the first. If anyone could shed some light on whats going on that would be great. Also, I tried using media encoder, in which I couldn't hear either of the audio tracks.

    Hi incinirate,

    That's rather strange. Sorry to hear that.
    Where did these files originate? From a video camera, screen capture, webcam, or mobile device? What is the format of these files? More details on your system, OS, version of Premiere Pro, etc., please.
    Thanks,

  • Export Issues: Green and black flashes and dropped frames

    Hello,
    So I've been having in issue in the last week exporting videos in Adobe (CS5, Premiere 5.0). It's happened both in AME and direct exports from Premiere. The sequence settings match the footage settings (1280x720 (1.0) 23.976fps MTS files). I'm using a mini matrox mxo2 hardware accelerator to speed up my export times. The sequences start with 5 seconds of a still image with a simple Title laid over it in Video two (the person's name, city etc. that is the focus of the video) which then dips to black into the footage. Everything plays back fine but after I output the sequences within the first 5 seconds (while the still img is up (a .jpg) there are flashes of green and black as well as dropped frames. It only happens a few times but it does happen in each video, only while that title is on the screen.
    I've made hundreds of similar videos with the same export settings, same sequence settings, same footage settings. I know because it's a lot of the same cameramen and I've made templates for my projects, sequences, and export settings.This has never been an issue before this week.
    I've tried mining Google and forums for an answer but can't even find other people having very similar problems.
    Any help on ideas to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated and let me know if you want any more info from me.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the reply J_Heffernan.
    So my understanding of the issue is more clear. The green fields is from a rendered clip, not from playback.
    Please try the following:
    - in control panel, go to user accounts, and locate your account, and confirm its UAC level is all the way down, reboot if required
    - if you downloaded the Matrox driver with another browser, besides IE, then redownload it again, with IE. Once completed, right click the file, go to properties, if there is a message stating its blocked, click the unblock button
    - uninstall the MXO2 driver, reboot and reinstall it
    - go to http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu let it scan to see if there is an intel chipset driver update availalble, and install it, reboot
    - lets try with a brand new project - select matrox.avi as your capture mode
    - select a matrox HD/SD sequence - try HD 1080i 29.97
    - give a new name
    - place colour bars on the timeline and streach it out
    - now do a file export, use a Matrox h.264 option, and let adobe media encoder export it
    - after it is completed, how is the playback?
    Typically you can have premiere and media encoder open at the same time.

  • Best Resolution Still Frame Export

    Greetings! So far, it seems based on my findings that the still frame export depends entirely on whatever the resolution/frame size of my composition initially is. I had created a motion graphics piece in After Effects with the dimensions of 864 x 480 because it was only ever going to be used for web based viewing and now someone else wants essentially letter sized 300 dpi images for print.  From everything I can find, it basically renders all still frames (I tried tif and psd) at 72 dpi at whatever the video's dimensions are meaning I would need to make mine about 500% bigger. I know there are photoshop plug-ins such as Genuine Fractals but I would like to see there is a way to do it straight from AE.

    Actually the video and web world doesn't have a dpi or more accurately ppi (pixels per inch because dots refer to line screens in the offset printing industry). There is no size tag in a gif file or in a video file that defines PPI so image editing apps assume 72, which used to be the resolution of the average computer monitor in pixels per inch. After effects does not add a PPI tag to the image headers so image editing apps (Photoshop for example) assume 72 PPI.
    Modern displays have a much higher pixel density so the number 72 is basically meaningless. IOW if an image is 720 pxels wide and you're viewing it at 100% it is no longer 10 inches wide on the computer screen, but it will still be 10 inches wide when you send it to a printer. The only time PPI means anything is when you send the image to a device that will print it.
    Now that your thoroughly confused let me throw another wrench into the gearbox. Resolution has nothing to do with PPI or DPI. High resolution images have a lot of information (pixels), low resolution images have a low number of pixels. You can set the PPI of a 100 pixel X 100 pixel jpg to 9999PPI, but it will still only contain 1000 pixels. You can set the "resolution" of a 30,000 X 30,000 pixel image to 1PPI and it will still be high resolution because it contains a bunch of pixels. Nine hundred million to be exact.
    That said, if you originally have a composition that is small and you need to output something that is bigger then the first thing to do is figure out what is the minimum resolution required to print the image at the quality you desire. If you need a final image that is 11 inches wide to be printed by an offset press then you probably need 11 X 240 or a composition that is 2640 pixels wide. Providing the composition only contains vector objects (shapes, masks, type, or illustrator files) you can resize the composition using the Resize Comp script that comes with AE. You'll find it under File>Scripts>Sample Scripts.
    You may also be able to nest your original composition in a larger composition, collapse transformations, then scale it up. If the original composition contains low resolution images or video you will not have as much success scaling things up.
    One last thing, lots of folks think that 300 PPI is the minimum for printing. That's not so. The optimum resolution for printing is determined by the type of printer, the viewing distance, the material. Those great big full color banners you see at the mall are probably printed at 50 or 72 or maybe even 90 PPI,
    40" posters typically look great at 150 PPI, while glossy waterless offset business cards may require 600ppi for the type to be clean.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why does my exported swf show more content than actually on frame?

    Why does my exported .swf show more content than actually on frame?
    My problem is relatively simple, though, I had some trouble finding a solution to it:
    When I play my exported animation using flash player in Google Chrome, if the window is bigger than the resolution flash document/frame, it shows content not meant to show up on the frame -- like parts of a huge background that aren't supposed to show up yet.
    In other words, how do I constraint the .swf to the white background/document resolution?

    Anyone? I'd appreciate it if someone replied soon -- I am done with my project once this issue is resolved, and I am excited to publish it.
    Please respond if you have any useful knowledge on the matter!
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CC 'single frame' export squashes aspect ratio

    Hi,
    When I used the single frame export button to export a single frame from my timeline, the 16:9 ratio gets squashed in.
    The image has a play button graphic on it and that should be round but it comes out oval. 
    When I import the image into Photoshop, it looks normal 16:9 but when I save it as a jpeg and open it up, it's still squashed.
    I would be so grateful if someone could help me sort this out. 
    Cardamada

    Thanks Jim for your quick reply.  I am still wondeirng if there is a better way.  The footage I am editing is 1920 x 1080 DSLR footage.  Anytime I export a frame from Fnal Cut Pro it does it fine.  I moved over to Adobe recently and I'm suprised that it's not working.  I wondered whether there was a way to change my export settings so that it exports with square pixels from Premiere Pro.  Meanwhile I will try to follow your  instructions re square pixles and photoshop.

  • Up until approx 2 months ago I could select video clips downloaded from my camera and e-mail them.Iphoto9.4.3. This no longer works.  I have tried dragging to my desktop and exporting to my desktop.  I am not sure what has changed.  Any ideas?

    Up until approx 2 months ago I could select video clips downloaded from my camera and e-mail them from Iphoto 9.4.3. This no longer works.  I have tried dragging to my desktop and exporting to my desktop.  I am not sure what has changed.  Any ideas?

    Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
    Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
    Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind  to Original.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Other than that your options include:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

  • Clip Notes in CS4/Acrobat 9: exports transcript, no controls for QuickTime

    When I use the Transcribe feature, then export my project to Clip Notes, it exports every transcribed word as a separate comment. There doesn't seem to be any way of suppressing that, and there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting a transcription either in PP or in Acrobat. The result is that the reviewer sees all these comments and has to fight with Acrobat to insert new comments. When I import the xfdf back into PP, I get the whole transcription loaded into markers along with the reviewer's comments. Unless I open every one, I can't tell what's what.
    Is there at least a way of deleting the transcription in PP or Acrobat?
    Also, if I export the video as QuickTime, there are no player controls in Acrobat. I only get player controls if I export as Windows Media. That means that some Mac users won't be able to use my Clip Notes exports. I've seen others asking about this, but no answers. Any ideas? I'm running this under Windows Vista Ultimate.

    But I find it amazing that there's no way to delete the damn thing. Adobe made a big deal of transcription, but it seems they didn't regard it as more than a gimmick, since they did it half-baked. I think you're right that it's best not to use this "feature".
    I don't know if it's necessarily half-baked, so much as it is an overly optimistic appraisal of the capability of the technology at this point in time. I mean, it does create words, and sometimes very interesting ones at that
    What's interesting to me is that when I tested out the transcribe feature back when Adobe released the beta of Soundbooth CS4, it was MUCH more accurate--and I was testing it on the mixed, final soundtrack of a documentary captured from Betacam SP. The transcription wasn't anywhere near 100%, but it was actually usable. Now, it struggles on pristine audio from a single, clear voice track. Wish it wasn't so...
    Anyway, you can stop the transcription from appearing in a Clip Notes export. Check out the following screenshot for the how-to:

  • Clip Notes streaming export causes Reader media clip error

    MacPro HDV captured into PPCS4, export OK to Adobe Clip Notes streaming, uploads .mov file to my FTP site OK. The .mov clip plays fine locally in QT. When I open the clip notes pdf in Acrobat 9 Reader for Mac or Acrobat 8 Pro on Vista, both give the same error on opening: Javascript window - error reading media clip. The clip does not load into the pdf, and I can not get error information to debug.
    Answer: I need QT streaming server. The Clip Notes streaming is true streaming, not progressive-download or pseudo-streaming. I did not see this in the Premiere CS4 documentation.

    I'm using Vista 64.
    I was having the same problem with the transport controls not showing up.
    I set AcroRd32.exe to run in XP mode and that fixed the problem with the embedded movie file.
    Transport controls show up.
    Thanks.
    I hoped that would also fix the QT streaming problem.
    However, if I select "Streaming" and upload it to my server then when the Clip Notes tries to play the file it says "
    This happened also before I set AcroRd32 to XP mode.
    No problem with "Clip Notes Windows Media" format.  It uploads and plays fine.
    The .mov file is on the server.   I can play it fine in a browser.
    Any ideas why Adobe Reader won't play a streaming .mov file in Clip Notes, but will play a streaming .wmv file?
    You really need to use QT so you can scrub the timeline.
    .wmv files don't let you scrub!
    Adobe why haven't you after all these years made Clip Notes use flash?
    If you did it would truly be cross-platform.
    Thanks.
