FCE & Adobe Premiere

I have a customer that would like for me to do voiceover on FCE from a project that he worked on in Adobe Premiere. The problem is that he can not get it to burn to a DVD. How can I work with the Customer with Adobe Premiere?

Tom,
Thank you for that information. I was wondering if FCE supported EDL's. Not having used FCE for about 4 years, I tried searching the FCE User's Manual but couldn't find any information.
Regardless, I'm still experimenting with EDL's exported from Premiere. I was able to open the file in FCP 6 successfully, but I don't have access to the source media just yet (I'm out on location).

Ken Burns, De-Interlacing, FCE, iMovie and Adobe Premiere

I've read countless articles, bought lynda training with Larry Jordan, pre-edited photos in Photoshop, done all kinds of experiments with filters and tried other movie editor packages. FCE with the Ken Burns effect is just very tricky and time consuming to make it look good.
I took a single photo that I cannot get to look good using the ken burns effect in FCE and tried it in iMovie '09 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. With iMovie, it simple to do this effect. In Premiere I used the same keyframe principles I learned in FCE.
I exported each of these to a Quicktime movie (self contained and I did not use Quicktime Converter) and then popped them into iDVD, burned a DVD and took it to the TV to compare. iMovie looked great. Premiere CS5 looked even better. FCE looks terrible. I tried every filter with various settings and nothing comes close to the other two.
I get that the photo doesn't have the greatest resolution, it's a jpg and has artifacts but the other two applications had no issue with it and produced great looking video. Is it me or is it FCE? BTW, using version 4.0.1.

Select your sequence (timeline).
Go to sequence settings (command-zero or choose Sequence > Settings...)
Find the Field Dominance menu, and set it to None.
You can check your video quality by setting the Canvas to 100%.
You should probably convert your images to .tiff or .png
instead of .jpg. Here's a thread that goes into some detail:

Final Cut Express Vs. Final Cut Pro Vs. Adobe Premiere

Hey all,
I just bought my first Apple computer and I'm loving it. I have worked with Final Cut Pro in the past and I really enjoy working with it. However, $1000 is a bit steep. I would like to ask what your opinions are on maybe getting Final Cut Express or Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have the trial of Adobe Premiere right now, but whenever I place a clip into the timeline, it needs to be rendered. This was never an issue with Final Cut on the computers at my school. I was wondering if you knew if Final Cut Express would have better rendering times and wouldnt need as much rendering. Also, it may be the graphics card in my computer. If you think this is the problem, can you provide me with a solid video/graphics card that I should look into?
Thanks all,
Kevin

I own all three programs actually - here's my advice.
Stay the heck away from Adobe Premiere. It is no where nearly as Mac friendly and for the price, just isn't worth it. I purchased it for the Blu-ray authoring capabilities of Encore, so that's all I use it for. The plus to Premiere is that it can edit some native formats that Final Cut Pro cannot. For example, native AVCHD as well as MPEG-2 in program streams. That being said, Encore is the best option for Blu-ray authoring at a reasonable cost that gives you the ability to modify menus, etc.
Final Cut Express is a great application - my only reason for having final cut pro was my need to edit footage at 23.98, 29.97, and 59.94 fps. FCE only handles 29.97 (and 25 fps). Final Cut Pro also gives you the ability to edit more footage natively. FCE only supports DV, HDV, and AVCHD, with the latter two being transcoded into Apple Intermediate Codec for editing. FCP supports a myriad of formats and allows native editing in HDV - although it still transcodes AVCHD. FCP also gives you access to the ProRes set of codecs which are significant improvements on Apple Intermediate Codec that offer high quality in transcoding and editing.
So the real question is, what are you going to be doing?

Final Cut Pro Vs. Adobe Premiere Elements 9 output quality.

Hey Group.
I am trying to edit some Sony 1920X1080 30i AVCHD footage and have had some quality problems while exporting FCP footage with QT exports (all footage logged and transferred into FCE with the proper setting that match the footage, etc as chronicled in other entries I have already discussed in other entries within this forum). My final footage was always coming out jittery and motion was never smooth and the "HD video" it produced looked amateurish and very computer generated looking. As a last ditch experiment, I decided to give a trial to Adobe Premiere Elements 9, which edits native AVCHD footage. When I exported a trial test, I was amazed to see this program exported the footage with a look that was exactly the same as the source HD footage from the camera, when played back on my WD HDTV Plus. My question is: what am I doing wrong in FCP? Is it because Premiere edits the footage natively rather than the conversion codecs FCP uses? Just seeing if anyone has any clues to this strange phenomenon. I certainly know for sure I like the workflow in FCP way better than in Adobe....Any ideas would be great. Thanks
Marshall

Okay, so here's my settings for my project...
To begin with, my output is to a WD HDTV Plus which needs a H.264 1920X1080i30 file.
The source footage is SONY AVCHD 1080i60.
My Import Prefs:
AVCHD: Apple ProRes422
AC-3 Audio: Plain Stereo
RT:
Both Dynamic Playbacks
Unlimited RT
Exported using QuickTime Conversion:
Compression: H.264
Frames:
Current
Key Frames:
Every 24
Compressor Quality: Best
Data Rate: Automatic
When it gets played back, still elements look "HD" but moving objects are jittered....HELP!
thanks

VOBs do not have sound on Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I’m very new at
this. I know it can be done. I just need some help to get me pointed in
the right direction.”
After collecting some VOB video clips, you may plan to transfer VOB
video to Adobe Premiere Elements, but it’s a bit of trouble. Premiere
Elements seems not be able to ingest the .vob files correctly like no
audio track. So, how to deal with VOB video in Adobe Premiere Elements?
Although Adobe claimed that Premiere Elements(7/8/9/10/11/12) offer
native VOB support, there are still some video, audio codec problems
while importing/editing VOB clips in Premiere Elements like the above
mentioned no sound. The best method to avoid any problems is to
transcode VOB into a Premiere Elements most compatible format like
MPEG-2.
If you looking for a solution for this problem likewise, check out Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to encode VOB to MPEG2
format for Premiere Elements editing with Mac OS X like Mavericks,
Mountain Lion, Lion.
Step 1: Download and install VOB to Premiere Elements Converter to your Mac. Then load your source movie to it.
Step 2: Click the format bar, and move mouse cursor to Adobe
Premiere/Sony Vegas --> MPEG-2(*.mpg) as output format. It is also

My guess is that these are 'Named User' licenses and not Concurrent licenses. That just means that every license has a single user and that users is expected to register. Did they just give you one DVD with the program and then 30 license keys? If so there is probably no way you will get around the registration process.

Exporting to Adobe Premiere..

What would be the best way to get existing footage (still needing editing) into adobe premiere in a way in which I'd still be able to edit with ease?

Hi(Bonjour)!
As Adobe Premiere Pro (in CS 3 production bundle) works with Mac, I'm concerned by your question.
On Adobe web site, we can read that Premiere :"Work with the formats you want. Edit all standard- or high-definition formats, from DV and HDV to HD and beyond (some formats may require additional hardware)."
So I suppose that DVCPRO NTSC should work. For HDV it's another story as FCE work with Apple Intermediate Codec (HDV is converted upon capturing process within FCE).

Using Adobe Premiere Essentials files in Final Cut Express

Hi, I am doing one hour interviews with approx. 60 people. I have edited 8 interviews in Adobe Premiere Essentials, and now have changed over to using FCE for the rest. Is it possible for me to import the Adobe interviews into FCE so that I can change the titles and have continuity among all of the final DVDs without having to completely re-edit all of the interviews I have already completed in FCE?
Thanks!

Do you have access to the Premiere projects? If so, I'd suggest exporting them from Premiere as QuickTime files, then importing those files into FCE. Match the export settings from Premiere to the Sequence settings you'll use in FCE.
It's possible to get the material from DVD to FCE, but it involves several steps and transcoding the video which was already compressed to create your DVD. There might be discernible difference in quality between the interviews originally done in Premiere to those done entirely in FCE.

How to convert .mts file to Adobe Premiere?

I shoot my family party with my Sony HDR-XR500V with the output video format of .MTS . I tried to do some editing on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. But it does not support mts file. I have made some searches ,and i found that the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can edit the file formats of mpeg2 and avi. So i am wondering how to convert mts file to mpeg2 and avi for me to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? what software and programme should i need.and where can i get it. Thanks.

As long as you have a AVCHD converter, you can use almost any editing software to edit and perfect your MTS/M2TS video files. What you should do is converting AVCHD video files into the video formats editable by editing software you are using.
As for this question, you can convert MTS from your HD camcorder to MPEG 2,MOV or AVI supportable by Adobe Premiere.
I recommend Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac which is the fastest and best quality video converter i ever used.It can help you to convert MTS/M2TS recording to some playable and editable video formats, like MOV for editing on iMovie,FCP,FCE and Adobe Premiere you are using.
I ever used some video converter which produces video files with the issue of video and audio out of sync, but Brorsoft works fine in this point.

No Disk Error for Adobe Premiere Elements 12

I installed Adobe Premiere Elements 12 to my PC. Everytime I load the software, I get this annoying alert saying that there is no disk located error. I can get it to go away if I click on try again a bunch of times, but I want to get rid of this problem. It should NOT be happening. SOME BODY TELL ME WHAT TO DO PLEEAASE!

Please check out recent thread which sought to solve the disc error message that appears to be similar to what you are reporting
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6246049#6246049
There was no definitive answer. Still waiting for follow up to the latest line of questions in that thread.
Suggestions about this being a long time issue are a bit misleading. In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, there was a SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature which appeared to be linked to the disc error message. And, updating SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 was claimed to be the cause and remedy for the disc error message.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1300410
However, SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 is no longer a feature in Premiere Elements 12. Premiere Elements 12 does have a Music Score feature, similar in principle to SmartSound soundtracks, but the SmartSound feature is gone in version 12.
Please review that information in the link above and let us know if any of it works for you.
Thank you.

How to install Adobe Premiere 6.0 on Windows Vista

I purchased Adobe Prmiere 6.0 11 years ago and installed it on my computer which was running Windows Millenium at the time
I now wish to install and run this program ( Adobe Premiere 6.0 ) on my Window Vista.
I have the serial number
When I try and insert the disc and run the program with autorun in the pop up box that appears nothing happens
So I go to Start--My Computer--Disc--Explore--I chose Autorun and I get this message
" The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running.
Check your computers systems information to see whether you need an x86(32 bit)
or x64(64 bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher "
My computer is running a ------64 bit Operating System
2 Duo CPU 2.80 GHz
So now what do I need to do ?
Is this a lost cause.
Can I get this program and it's software to run on Vista ?

You should post to the Premiere CS4 & Earlier Forum, as this is for Premiere Elements, a different program.
There are several people, still using Pr 6.0, who frequent that forum, and might have some insight on which OS's, it will install and run on.
Good luck,

-How did you get the video from this camcorder to your computer?
Files are copied to the flash card to the HDD.
-Have you ensured that a video clip from this camcorder is the first clip on your timeline so that the program can match its project settings to your video specs?
Yes. Video clip from this camcorder is the first clip in the timeline.
Parameters of the project and the video above.
-When your project settings match your video specs, you will NOT see a yellow orange line along the top of the timeline, above your video clips, in Expert mode. Is this the case with your project?
No. I suspect that the problem occurs in the video is displayed on the timeline.
Because the assets of the project and put the video thumbnail is displayed on this video.
at the time of the drop on the timeline displays only rectangular frame that meets the duration of the video itself. let go of the mouse button. Displays only the blue rectangle.
Thumbnails of the first and last frames do not appear. takes 2-3 seconds and Pr closed.
I believe that until you see the yellow line is not reached.
-Have you ensured that any photos you use are sized to no larger than 2000x1500 pixels in size?
Yes, size is not more than 2000x1500
- You're using a somewhat antiquated 32-bit operating system that can make limited use of your RAM load (which may explain why you only have 3 gigs of RAM), so you'll need to optimize your workflow by matching project settings to your video as closely as possible in order for the program to work effectively and stably.
yes, you're right. need to upgrade to 64bit. so I put 4GB of RAM, but I can not install 64bit Vindovs. no time. and available only 3.25 GB.
I would add, I hope it will help isolate the problem.
I've been tracking work in process monitor Pr. the very moment when it closes when you move the video on the timeline.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 with Photoshop Elements 9

Is it possible to use both Adobe Premiere Elements 10 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 9?
I don't want to upgrade Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 because has not enought new functions but need new Premiere with Organizer.
Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 will work correctly with Organizer of Premiere 10?

Hi,
It is possible to use both of them, seperately though. If you wish to do use some interoperable feature, that wont be possible, since, as Steve said, they both use thier respective organizer.

Any Suggestions??

I just scanned a few threads citing this exception code. Most often, the problem is either a graphics driver or, more specifically, having both an integrated graphics chip and a graphics card. In the latter case, disabling the integrated chip generally solves the problem. Here's an especially illuminating thread on just how tricky it can be to be sure that the graphics card situation is all settled: Unable to launch Photoshop CC 2014 - igdfcl64.dll

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 Crashing very often! Please Help!

Hello,
I am currently editing my first feature on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and it is currently up to date.
I am editing on a iMac 27in, late 2013 brand new computer.
Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096MB
System: OSX Yosemite V 10.10.1
The project is located on a 8TB G Drive
7200 RPM
High Performance ThunderBolt drive.
Details of the project:
I am currently working on a fine cut of 5K Red Footage that is being cut in the RAW.
I work at 1/2 quality settings and have no lag.
The timeline includes limited stacked video files and various mp3 audio files.
The Problem:
Lately, the program will randomly quit or freeze up 4-5 times during an 5-6 hour edit session.
Many times it is random, however, it seems to happen often if I accidentally click on the end of a clip on the timeline and it goes to switch into trimming mode.
Also, it will randomly go into the "pinwheel of death" out of nowhere followed by "Adobe CC is not responding."
My project file is just about 15MB now.
What is causing this reoccurring problem?
How can I make it happen less? I have scoured the forums and found similar articles but no helpful solutions.
I have recently turned auto save on to save every 2 minutes because there have been more than one occasion where I lost A LOT of work because of this issue.
I am about two weeks out from picture lock delivery and this issue is driving me crazy and loosing me a ton of time.
Please help or let me know if any more additional information can help solve the issue.
I have sent in well over 25 error reports already.
Thanks,
Thomas.

I think I may have found the solution...
I completely removed the Premiere Pro folder under User > Documents > Adobe and so far it seems to have solved the problem.
I of course backed up my projects and than deleted this folder. So far it seems it worked.
I'll know for sure in a day or two, but after constantly crashing, Premiere hasn't crashed for the last 4-5 hours of work.
