Exporting in Premiere CS4

How can you export using the new encoder from the timeline for Encore CS4 and get separate video and audio files? I can only export and get one file that contains both video and audio together.

You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

  • After Effects no longer exporting in Premiere CS4

    I use Premiere Pro CS4 to produce many short videos. I have an After Effects CS4 title that I use on all of them (some text on the bottom of the frame). In the past, I've always put the *.aep file in the Video 2 track (which also fills in the Audio 2 track) and the project exported nicely with the text overlayed on the video. Recently, the text has not been exporting though. I can see the text in the preview window and I can see the text when I open the Export dialog box. Is there a setting that I've changed that could be doing this?
    Other details: The Video 1 track consists of 2 still frames and a *.flv file with cross-dissolve transitions. I export to a *.flv file.
    Other fixes: I've used AE because I couldn't figure out how to save a title made in Premiere in order to import it to other projects.

    Select the title in the project bin.
    Export -> Title
    It saves as a .prtl file that is external to the project and you can import into another project.

    Sea God bless you, guys! 
    P.S. I searched up this forum, but didn`t find the troubleshoot.
    With love from Dominican Republic, Ilya.

    Maybe try starting project with the same exact dimensions etc of your source footage and then export the same settings ? It's kinda tricky sometimes due to frame ratios ( 4:3, 16:9 etc ) and specs for ntsc or pal etc.. but if you use desktop custom settings you might be able to do what you want ...for youtube...
    I didnt look at the samples you posted cause of my security settings.
    good luck !

  • Premiere CS4 Media Encoder AVIs and Encore Encoding Errors

    For some reason, I'm having trouble creating DVD's in Encore from AVI's exported from Premiere CS4. When encoding starts, Encore immediately pops up with an "encoding error". I now, all of a sudden get this identical error on two of our systems.
    Most of the time Encore works if I export an "MP2" file from the Premiere CS4 timeline.
    Any of you guys having trouble with Encore CS4? To me it has been a lot more buggy and unreliable than any previous version. The program also seems sluggish on our Q6600 4gGB RAM computers! Kind of like the program is straining just to open its windows.
    Another thing that is annoying. Earlier in the day, I exported a Flash Web video for a client's review. A few hours later I had to make a 1 hour and 46 minute DVD with chapters for a client that had to be Fed Ex'd overnight. It took forever to complete and I soon realized that Encore defaulted back to the last export...FLASH! cr@p. I would prefer that the program defaulted to standard DVD creation. After all it is Encore DVD.

    I'm having major problems with Media Encoder CS4.
    When I try to create an AVI file (for example) from a section of my Premiere Pro CS4 timeline, the encoder opens, takes forever to load the project, and then, after I hit start queue button, it again takes forever to load the project in the small window at the bottom of the display.
    Finally the "waiting" message in the queue list turns to an orange exclamation mark with the message that encoder "could not read from the source. PLease check if it has been moved or deleted." Which of course it has not been.  THis happens even if I preview the section in advance in Premiere.  material.
    If at any point I hit the settings button it simply reloads the project

  • Media Encoder error about activation when exporting in activated version of Premiere CS4

    I get the following error when I try to export media in Premiere CS4 (Note: I have a legal and activated copy of CS4 Master Collection). In Premiere, it appears to go through (the loading progress bar fills and then disappears) but when I check the folder, it's empty. And then I notice that there's another icon in my taskbar and oh hey, it says "AMT Subsystem Error: Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS5. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuing to use Media Encoder."
    I'm using Windows 7 x64 (8gb of RAM). I tried installing the patch as suggested in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/719451 but it only claimed to not have the corresponding program installed. I tried checking to see if there were any updates - there weren't.
    A quick check on my computer reveals that both Media Encoder CS4 and CS5 are installed. I looked to see if there was a way to uninstall the CS5 version but didn't see it. The only way I think I could have gotten it was though some sort of Adobe update.
    Any ideas of how to fix this?

    Hi: I have the same problem, but it happened very suddenly and after very specific updates. I successfully encoded a file using the CS6 encoder. Then, I allowed updates to Adobe Media Player and Adobe Air. I tried to encode with CS6 again and it had stopped working - all in the space of 5 minutes. A reboot did not help. I also have CS4 and CS 5.5 installed and have had all along (which means that you can have them and use the CS6 encoder). Since I can no longer use the CS6 encoder, but am able to launch an older one, I am using that for the moment. I hope that this reply will be of some help in finding a solution.

  • Camtasia Poor Quality in Premiere CS4 Export

    I am a PC user. One of my clients uses Mac and Camtasia to screen capture his software program, which I need to integrate into a video I am making for his company. The MP4 Camptasia file he sends me looks good. I bring the file into Premiere to edit it, but when I export it, the clip done with Camtasia has very poor quality, while the footage I shot with my video camera looks great.
    Specs:
    Camera: HMC40, PH mode 1080/60i (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression).
    PC: i7 quad-core 64-bit running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, 8 GB RAM.
    Editor: Premiere CS4 in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection .
    New Sequence setup in Premiere: AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic.
    Premiere’s export settings:
    Format: MPEG2
    Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
    Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details: Variable
    Video Tab > Basic Video Settings > Quality: 5
    Field Order > None (progressive)
    Profile > Main
    Bitrate Settings: Bitrate Encoding: VBR 2Pass
      Minimum Bitrate: 4 (default)
      Target Bitrate: 15 (default)
      Maximum Bitrate: 18.5 (default)
    GOP Settings > M Frames: 3 (default)
      N Frames: 15 (default)
    Output summary: NTSC, 1920X1080, 29.97 drop frame (fps), Progressive, Quality 5.0
    Note in general: I found that if I set the Bitrate Encoding at VBR 1Pass, I got glitches sporadically.Using VBR 2Pass has solved this.
    My question about the Camtasia clip:
    1) How can I get the Camtasia footage to be as sharp in the export as in the original?
    Other questions in general:
    2) Are my New Sequence setting in Premiere correct? AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic
    3) Is my choice to export as MPEG2, HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality preset, the best for the footage I shoot?
    4) Is my choice to set the Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details at ‘Variable’ the best?
    5) Do my Bitrate and GOP settings need adjustment?
    6) Should my Export field order be Upper instead of Progressive?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    The frame rate is 1038 X 882
    That is a very odd frame size, and one that probably won't work well no matter what workflow you use.  You asked:
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    how could he better capture and export to match my workflow?
    Have him capture and export to match your desired export frame size for the finished project.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    How would you suggest I change my workflow to handle the interlaced and progressive issue?
    I can't answer that until I know exactly how you intend to deliver your finished video.  Any answers to your other questions will also likely depend on your intended delivery format and media.

  • Premiere CS4 Does Not Correctly Export Quicktime

    Hello,
    When CS4 initially came out, all of the Quicktime exports were messed up. Now after several patches it still seems that it is not completely correct. I have rendered out of a 3d app sequential images with a white background and an alpha channel. When I import these into Premiere, when the alpha channel is disabled for the clip, it correctly shows a white background in the monitor. But when I export this clip to Quicktime Animation and turn on 32 bit depth, it creates the clip with an alpha channel, but when the alpha channel is disabled on the clip, it renders the background still as black, but with no alpha. It should render it as white. Quicktime Animation clips created this way with other Quicktime exporting software does not do this, and so I believe this is a bug. Where can this be logged?
    thx

    It's not a problem with Quicktime, but rather Premiere CS4 because other apps can create the same thing correctly, using the Quicktime Animation codec.
    thx

  • Premiere CS4 to Encore CS4 Export  Quality Problems

    I recently purchased a non-linear editing machine with an RTX2 Matrox Card and CS4 Professional. After six or seven projects, I finally noticed that all my imported .avi files exported through Adobe Media Encoder and burned through Encore CS4 are not as crisp, sharp, or look like the original high quality SD footage after the DVD is burned like it always used to look in CS2. ( jumped from CS2 to CS4)
    These DVDs were of plays, football, and basketball games. It seems that when the camera shoots a close up, the video looks fine but after you shoot from a distance, there is a considerable difference in the footage. ( alomost blurry) I just caught this and nobody has complained but I watched one of my older DVDs I produced with CS2 and it had no quality loss whatsoever. There is a night and day difference
    For the sequences, I am using Matrox SD, NTSC, Standard, 720 x 486  and capturing with firewire through the Matrox card. The raw footage is beautiful. The Video Preview Option is NTSC Standard and the Codec is NTSC Matrox DV/DV Cam.
    I can playback a timeline from the Matrox card and burn directly to a DVD burner and the footage is perfect, but when I export, I have chosen Microsoft .avi file, Matrox DV/DV Cam/ MPEG2, and MPEG2DVD.
    I have even changed the sequences codec to Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame and tried exporting using that out of Adobe Media Encoder and am getting the same results.
    None of my customers have complained yet, but I definitely do not want to continue producing almost blurry DVDs.
    I am using Adobe Premiere CS4 Version 4.1.0 and Encore CS4 Version 4.0.1.048 and Matrox Version 4.1.0.23
    Can this problem be related to and eliminated by updating my CS4 Production Suite and my Matrox Software.
    I was wondering if anyone had experienced this same issue and what solution they came up with or if anyone knew if the updates would correct this important issue. I just filmed a lengthy play that I have to author through Encore CS4 and I cannot release any more of my productions until this problem is solved. This is a big dollar production and I need some assistance on this matter as soon as possible. Thanks  Jimi White

    Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I just purchased my non-linear with CS4 Production Suite and the Matrox RTX2. I have several projects that I am working on right now and I was advised by Adobe, Matrox, and my non-linear vendor, 1 Beyond, to finish those projects before performing updates.
    I also found out that If I export using the MPEG2  8Mbps, it cleared up the video dramatically. We had to go through a number of export presets in order to find out what worked best in Encore. I am going to try to finish the project now and will advise on the results.
    This is a basketball highlight DVD and that's when I noticed the problem. My other productions were photos to music, and non sporting events and I didn't notice any problems with those DVDs ( they actually looked decent. Worst part about it was, I finished the project once and burned 18 DVDs, and then reviewed one of them and found the problem. I have to start over and just eat the DVDs printed and all.
    Thanks again, it was nice of you to get back to me.

  • Premiere CS4 exporting to MPEG2, changes timeline??

    I've been using Premiere CS4 to edit my videos.  Once the video is complete I do a file > export > media to use Media Encoder to save the media in various formats, one of them being MPEG2.  In the timeline for each video I have 3 seconds of black at the start and 10 seconds at the end.  I just noticed today that when I export to MPEG2, the created MPG file has the black trimmed off both ends, and it apparently stretches the video to fill the full time length somehow.  So if my show should fade to black at 28:00 normally (as it does on the timeline), with 10 seconds of black until 28:10, when I view the created MPG file the video start immediately instad of waiting 3 seconds, and it will fade out the video at 28:10 and not have my 10 seconds of trailing black. So it must be stretching the whole video to fill in that extra 10 seconds.  It only does this with exporting to an MPEG2 file, the AVI and WMV files I export into using the same timeline are fine.
    I had never noticed this before on the 20+ shows I've previously exported, I never even thought about going back and checking out the actual end time for the MPG versions because it was fine on other formats.  Apparently this is something not isolated to this computer I'm using because I went back to my old laptop and did an export the same way on an old video and it did the same thing.  I'm stumped. 
    Any help on how to be able to export to an MPEG2 file exactly what I have on the timeline like the other formats do would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Ann,
    The sequence length is the same in Premiere as it is when I play it in media player.  They both clock in at 28:10, but the exported mpg plays differently somehow.  When I play it on the sequence my show fades to black at exactly 28:00, and then I have 10 seconds of black, that’s how I want it to be.  When I play the exported mpg file in media player it doesn’t fade out the show until 28:10, and there’s no 10 seconds of black at the end, it just ends after the fade out.  The software appears to be stretching the video to make 28:00 of video fit into a 28:10 length file, but since 10 seconds over 28 minutes isn’t that much it’s not noticeable when I watch it.
    I just tried what you said to do… I took the exported MPG and pulled it back into Premiere and played it on the timeline, and it is playing it properly in there with the 10 sec of black at the end and timing it correctly.  I don’t get it!  It only shows up correct in Premiere, I’ve tried in both WMP and Real player and they’re doing the same thing.  But my avi and wmv version exports all play properly in WMP.  Very strange!
    Thanks for your help.

  • Need help with Premiere CS4 Export...

    I currently shoot HD video with a Canon Vixia HF S10 digital camcorder (link goes to Canon's site). I shoot at the highest quality available, MXP 24 Mbps (1920x1080). When I bring the video over to my machine, it comes over as an .mts file which is the AVCHD file format (link goes to Wikipedia article on the format). I import these .mts files into Adobe Premiere (CS4). I import them into a AVCHD 1080p30 (29.97) Sequence. I do my editing, adding title screens, music, whatever. The problem comes when I go to export the final product into a usable format.  I've tried all different sorts of formats to export to and I can't get any usable results. If I select, for instance, H.264 HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (a preset within Premiere) the video comes out extremely choppy...as in the audio will play and the video will hitch along and be mostly out of sync dropping whole sections of the video as it tries to catch up.
    My end goal is to be able to export two versions...a higher quality (maybe burned to a DVD or Blu-Ray) and a lower quality (but still HD) for uploading to YouTube/SmugMug.
    Any help or thoughts anyone may have would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmm... My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to what I built for CS5
    Your computer is going to be a bit slower, but I don't see anything really obvious that would cause the output to be choppy
    But... have you considered converting to HDV to see if that edits better for you?
    Convert AVCHD to HDV http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390605?tstart=0
    or use Cineform Neo Scene http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/
    Added... Looking at my notes, I use a different AVCHD setting in CS5... have you tried other AVCHD project settings?

  • How to Mix Export and Burn  5.1 Surround in Premiere CS4

    Ok I'm attempting my first 5.1 mix in Premiere CS4.  I have a couple of basic questions about mixing and exporting in 5.1.
    I have created my 5.1 master sequence in premiere and have broken out my 5.1 track to 6 mono audio files.  Right now they are all .wma with a very high bitrate because that's the only format I was able to rip off the Blu-ray disc I'm experimenting with.  I have also learned to change my audio hardware to run off of my Matrox Driver to utilize my hardware for my matrox axio LE.  The end result I'm trying to produce is a 720p 23.967fps H.264 Blu-ray disc with 5.1 sound.
    Questions:
    Should I use wma files for audio or something else?  At first I noticed a little bit of a lag in performace before switching my audio hardware to the Matrox Driver.
    Do I have to use Dolby Surcode upon export to burn in Encore?  When I first upgraded to premiere CS4 I  used my 3 free encodes while testing our the program, is there any way to get them back?
    When importing the Audio into Encore is there anything special I need to do or can I just drop the Dolby 5.1 track onto the timeline as I would normally with at stereo track?

    Should I use wma files for audio or something else?
    PCM WAV 16 bit stereo @ 48 KHz.

  • Premiere CS4 crashes/freezes upon File Export Media click

    My system:
    CS4 master collection. I have some remnants of CS3 on my computer.
    4 Gig RAM
    Quad Core processor
    Vista
    My problem:
    Problem started yesterday and I've tried a lot of things but can't figure this out. When I click File>Export>Media, premiere greys out most panels and nothing can be clicked. It gives a beep of death on every click. I need to use task manager to close premiere. The only thing I've found I am able to do is click escape, which returns me to my project as if nothing has happened.
    I've tried a range of different projects, including a brand new one with nothing in it except a 10 second DV avi file. Same problem across the board.
    I've reinstalled CS4 Master collection but didn't uninstall it first. No change. Would it help to uninstall everything and start from scratch?
    Never had this problem before.
    It also does the same thing on file>export>clipnotes but I CAN export an EDL.
    The only change to my PC between this not happening and it happening was I installed the new music streaming software 'Spotify'. I have since uninstalled this but it hasn't fixed it.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd be hugely grateful.
    Ed

    Hey Ed, I had replied earlier in the other thread you posted in and just noticed you started a new topic here, so, copied from the other thread:
    I had something similar happen to me a few times... if the escape key is taking you back to premiere and returning everything to normal, then your computer is not really hanging or crashing. What most likely is happening is that Premiere is opening a dialog box OFF SCREEN, so you just can't see it or click on it to attend to what it's asking. Hitting escape is like hitting cancel, which returns you to your project.
    To fix: just mess around with your monitor setups in your display panel, ie.: if you have a dual monitor setup, temporarily disable one monitor - forcing everything to open on one screen. And/Or set your screen resolution to the maximum your video card allows so that you may uncover the off screen space the dialog opens on. OR... you're video card may have a control panel with the option of forcing all windows onto one screen or preventing off screen display. Basically do whatever it takes to get a view of off your screen.
    Once you discover that missing window, make sure you move it onto your primary display, somewhere in the center, and the next time you try to encode it should be right where it should be.
    Good luck.

  • How to export timeline sequence to .vob in premiere cs4?

    Hi All,
    I am new to premiere cs4,
    earlier i used premire 6.5 for video editing.
    in premiere 6.5 for exporting video i had used procoder 2.0
    after procoder instalation it comes as plug in premiere 6.5 by using procoder i can export timeline as my desired video format.
    but now this procoder is not working in premiere cs4
    after i installed procoder it is not showing in premiere cs4.
    i tried export option in premiere cs4 but it has no .vob option for export
    now how can i export timeline sequence as .vob file and
    how can i work with procoder in premiere cs4? is there any chance to install procoder in premiere cs4?
    Thanks,
    Murali.

    I agree with John T. Normally, the creation of a VOB (Video Object) container is done in an authoring app., like Adobe Encore, which he mentioned. Up through Premiere Pro 2.0, there were limited authoring capabilities, built in. However, with PrPro CS 3, those were removed, and all authoring functions were provided with Encore, which has shipped with PrPro, ever since.
    Now, the VOB is just a container. It will have mostly the MPEG-2 DVD AV file, which can span several VOB's, which are only ~1GB in size. The first VOB might also contain the DVD Menus, and navigation instructions, all of which can only be ~ 1GB. If those elements are less, then the first part of the MPEG-2 DVD AV file will be in there also.
    While I do not know one, there are probably utilities available, that can wrap an MPEG-2 DVD AV file into a VOB. Still, you have Adobe Encore, and it can do that, plus a whole lot more, so just finding a program to wrap the MPEG is likely a waste of time, unless you have other, very specific needs.
    To utilize Encore, you have basically three ways (as of PrPro CS 3 and up) to accomplish that:
    You can use ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to Import your Sequences/Timelines directly to Encore.
    You can Export a DV AVI file, then Import that into Encore.
    You can Export an MPEG-2 DVD file, then Import that into Encore.
    Good luck, and if you do have some other, specific needs for the VOB container, let us know, as someone might have suggestions for that.
    Hunt
    PS - If you do go the Encore route, and are not familiar with that program, I strongly recommend the very good, and very active Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

  • Premiere CS4 export Mpeg2 setting

    i use Premiere CS4 and i am a leisure user.
    1. when i export mpeg2, the video is 800m file sze
        if i export to DVD, the files (video + audio) are 240m
       as i know DVD is mpeg2, what's wrong with the setting on huge file size difference?
       i need a small size mpeg2 file.
    2. can i edit vob directly?  it is very time-consuming to convert vob to avi and then edit.
    3. when i used premiere pro before, it has function to export DVD directly at premiere.
        but now CS4 need to revert to Encore.  Any fast track?
    4. i alway have corrupted cache when importing avi files.  i need to remove cache and import again until it is ok
       any way i can do it better or less error.
    5.  any fast method to simply cut the movie, not do any change of resolution, codec....
    Thanks a lot in advance.  i have lots of question.
    Tony

    Unfortunately, you've posted to the Premiere, and not the Premiere Pro forum. This is for a program that predates the "Pro" designation. Maybe the MOD's will move this for you, so you'll get more traffic.
    Now, let's see if I can address some of your questions:
    As for the MPEG-2, it is most likely that the larger file has a much higher bit-rate. What are the settings between your Exported MPEG-2 and those in the Transcoded file? That is the common difference.
    As for editing .VOB's, if they are 100% DVD-compliant (very important), then CS4.1 can Import and edit. These still have the MPEG-2 compression, but should work fine. If those .VOB's were created by Encore, then changes are almost 100% certain, that you can edit them. If not, then the odds go down, and quickly. See this ARTICLE on .VOB's.
    Export to DVD directly, went away with CS3. The included Encore is much, much better, and is the way to go. There is also a forum for it.
    I've never had a corrupted cache, and cannot help here.
    If you have DV-AVI Type II material as source, you can edit until the cows come home, and Export to DV-AVI Type II with no noticable degredation. Other formats/COCE's not so much. Here, it just depends.
    Good luck,
