Exporting problems with Premiere CS3

There is probably going to be a very simple answer to this question however I'm at a loose end.
Whenever I view a video I have just exported from CS3, the frame size keeps changing depending on how far I have zoomed into the frame whilst editing.
Any ideas?

Yeah, whilst editing I'll adjust/scale the frame, if for example I want to change something from a medium shot into a close up instead. I thought that if you have the margins it should just cut off anything that's outside them, however after the clip is exported, in playback the frame size constantly shifts from shot to shot, when obviously I need it to remain consistant.

Hilights Clipping Problem with Premiere CS3 Media Encoder

I've just discovered a pretty serious problem with the way Premiere CS3 processes video to the Media Encoder.
Many of you are familiar with the term "super whites", the ability of modern cameras to capture and record levels above 100 IRE. With HDV and newer technology, recording to 109 IRE is quite common.
I was aware for some time that importing this footage into Premiere results in a hard truncation of whites above 100 IRE. However, I discovered last month that the Fast Color Corrector has a Output Levels adjustment that can rescale all the levels to fit down in the 0-100 IRE range. I verified this using the scopes in Premiere and by observing recovered details in my footage. I was even able to export frames to TIFF files and show the recovered highlights in the exported TIFFs. The difference is substantial and not subtle--it's the difference between a sky completely blown to white and one where you can see the sky is blue with clouds in it.
Last night, I discovered that the Unsharp Mask filter doesn't handle footage above 100 IRE, either. Even if I use Levels to set 0-235 RGB range, somehow, Unsharp Mask is processing the un-level-adjusted signal, regardless of stacking order of the filters.
I rendered two Blu-ray discs, one with Unsharp and the other without. To my astonishment, BOTH discs lacked any detail in the highlights--the whites were clipped at 100 IRE!
Now I turned attention to the Media Encoder. Pausing on a frame where I can see the difference between 100 IRE and 109 IRE and shades in between, I fire up the Media Encoder and note that even in ME's previews screens, the whites are already clipped. There is more highlight detail in the program monitor, whereas it's all gone in the Media Encoder's display.
It is obvious that highlight information, even scaled back to 0-235, is being treated as if it were 0-255 and clipped at 235 before passing to the encoder. This is a real disappointment, because there is another half f-stop of detail up there that I was trying to pull into the useable range of 100 IRE for the Blu-ray disc. Since it is very difficult to shoot footage and limit the peak whites in-camera to no more than 100 IRE, nearly all of us are losing valuable picture information.
Even if you can recover the highlights on the timeline through a Levels filter, it gets thrown away again on the way to the Media Encoder. Short of exporting a few hundred thousand frames as .TGA files and then loading those back in and rendering out to whatever motion CODEC, I am at a loss as to how to get Premiere to leave the whites intact.
I haven't seen this issue discussed in any detail here. Has anyone found a way around it, besides reshooting all your footage of one-time events to sub 100 IRE levels?

I'd rather the camera added that extra lattitide within the appropriate 0 to 100 IRE range.
That's a lot like saying you want 10 gallons of water in an 9-gallon jug.
As it is, it looks like such adjustments will need to be done on a clip by clip basis.
Or, you can do it the "Dan" way in AviSynth. I wrote a script function called SoftLimiter: It applies photoshop-style curves on the Y + U + V channels to bring the maximums within legal range… using a sort-of "soft-knee" approach to reducing extreme highlights and/or oversaturated areas.
It causes a tiny bit of posterization in the highlights, just like all 8-bit per channel color adjustments do… but it is hardly noticeable on a computer screen and even less on TVs.
SoftLimiter for AviSynth 2.5
Create a folder C:\SoftLimiterCurves\ and place the .amp curves files in that folder.
Place the other files in your AviSynth 2.5 / plugins folder.
The example below assumes DV avi files and requires a DV codec (such as Cecocida DV, MainConcept, Canopus) that can read / write in YUV formats.
Create a script like this:
AviSource("dv.avi", pixel_type="YUY2")
SoftLimiter()
Open the script in VirtualDub, use Video / Fast Recompress, Select Cedocida DV codec. File / Save as .avi
Before:
After:
And, Jim… you can place your dv2film() command at the end of this script if that's what you're trying to accomplish.

Exporting problem with premiere pro

Hi again everyone. This time Im having a problem exporting out of Premiere Pro. I have noticed it trying 2 different applications.
1st, when I get the error saying that my video is to big to fit on a dvd, I go back and select SETTINGS and normally downsize it, however,
when I tried to do that after I selected SETTINGS, the program froze up and wherever I clicked it just beeped, even if I tried to close
Premiere. It does the same thing when I try to Export with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER. Thats what I use to render video for youtube and
such.
I don't recall making any changes to any settings that would cause these problems. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tonya

already did that, its the only way to get it going again. Have rebooted multiple times. Its
almost as if the window should be coming up, but isn't, it just freezes the rest of the program
Im really afraid to uninstall and reinstall the whole program, because someone else helped me
set it up and I don't know if Id get all the setting right again.

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!

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,

Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
Please and thanks.

Mitch,
I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.

Problem with Premiere always conforming Audio again & again

I've got a problem with premiere CC which is always conforming audios time & again & again. Although this problem is not new in Premiere and I did face it in previous versions. But I've never found a good way to avoid it, especially when I work with much heavier clips or with some formats like mpeg or mov....
What should I do? Is that a network issue?
Thanks, Jim.

AHCI Problems with DW CS3

I have problems with DW CS3 when I use the AHCI mode in BIOS.
Then DW can not start. But I need a solution. Since I do not want
to buy DW CS4 although this runs without any problems.

Yes...the pages from the book display perfectly in dw8, but
not in DWcs3.
I found that by commenting out the "clear:left;" under "#nav"
the page displays properly in DWcs3, too. That leaves open the
question of "why".
Thanks.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?

I am having problem with Photoshop CS3 hanging

I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Thanks.

Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program's RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

Little Problem with Photoshop CS3

Hi, I have a little problem with Photoshop CS3, I'm not sure if this's because a Windows option that I messed up, but the thing is that I didn't touch any options, or some kind of preferences.
I'm talking about the "little windows" (I don't know the correct name) that come from, in this case, the Filter and Analysis options, they're coming down from their right side, and usually, the come down from their left side. This is really annoying.
Not big deal, but I can't really work properly. I hope you guys can help me, and this's my first post, I hope I didn't break any rule.

Thanks Mylenium, that was the problem, I don't even have a tablet, but that fixed my problem =)
Thanks again.

RENDER /EXPORT problems with the new CC 2014

I have updated to the new Premiere pro CC 2014 version. I realise its a standalone upgrade so i deleted the previous cc version from my pc to save disk space...
I have a 3 hour file just raw footage, with no plugins on it....
I have tried rendering to media encoder so many times, it starts the render but stops at random sections, the elapsed times still keep counting up, the remaining time counts up but the yellow bar stays at the same point and does not move...
I have tried exporting directly from Premiere Pro and once again it got to 43% and paused at this ... I have then have to press cancel get the loading mouse pointer circle and i have to close the programs through start manager...
For two days iam trying to export this file to give to a client and it wont do it and there is no solutions on the net...
I have had nothing but problems with every upgrade, on my other PC i still get audio dropouts from files and have to restart the computer.... Paying $50 a month to pull my hair out is a great investment...
please help as Adobe software is on thin ice with me...
Cheers

If CC worked, I think this will allow you to go back
