Footage from Premiere moved 2 frames

Hi,
Having a strange problem. I've cut a short film in Premiere - and have imported into After Effects to grade the footage.
Now - I've discovered that all my footage in After Effects has shuffled exactly 2 frames forward in my timeline. (eg: frame 1:00:01 in my offline = frame 1:00:03 in After Effects).
Sounds like I've made a mistake and stuck in 2 frames at the start somewhere by accident.
HOWEVER - all my cuts, right through to the last (I have about 100 cuts) ALL line up with the offline. Eg: if frame 1:00:01 is a clip's out point in Premiere, it's also an out point for the same clip in AE.
I'm quite the novice in After Effects, but know my way around video programs generally - can some spot what I may have done wrong?
(initially thought this was a field problem - for the record I'm cutting in HDV 1080i PAL, and importing into AE upper field first)
Look forward to some feedback! Thanks in advance...
Asher.

Check your time code display. Premiere may be set for non drop frame timecode, AE may be set to DF timecode. If it's a Timecode display problem then there are no dropped frames. You can easily verify this by changing the time display in AE and Premiere to frames or both to NDF time code.

Keyed footage from Premiere Pro CC getting cut in half by AME

Hello all,
   I am having an odd sort of problem. Anytime I have a sequence from Premiere that includes Keyed footage (UltraKey), the render from AME cuts the keyed subject in half, resulting in a waist - down view. If I take that same sequence and export it directly from Premiere, this does not happen - it renders and exports fine - so the issue is definitely an AME one. Since I can export from Premiere, I'm not completely stuck, but I am editing a series of more than 50 videos with anywhere from 2 - 7 keyed segments in each one, and not being able to cue up a batch of renders, instead having to do them one at a time from Premiere is an absolute workflow (and deadline) killer.
    I have, of course taken all of the usual steps... Restarted the application, restarted the machine, checked for any updates, trashed and rebuilt preferences - twice (once using the Shift at launch method, the other by going to the preferences folder and deleting them directly) - nothing has made any impact on the situation.
    If this is some sort of known issue, i would appreciate some insight as to when it might be resolved.   If it is not, and there is something awry in my universe, then I need some assistance in figuring out a fix.
    Now the specifics:
     2012 iMac i7 @3.4GHz / 16GB / OSX 10.8.5 / PP CC 7.2.1 (4) / AME CC 7.2.0.43 (64-bit) / Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelration (Open CL) from GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB
Thank you,
- Will Frazier

Right - so switching AME's render engine from Open CL to CUDA resolved the problem for me... just in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Importing 59.94 fps - edl from Premiere CC - error - Frame index out of range

I have a Adobe Premiere project with a 5k 59.94 sequence.
The sequence has two R3d 5K clips both interpreted at 59.94.
I've exported an edl for the sequence and want to import it into SpeedGrade.
I have adjusted my preferences in SpeedGrade for 59.94.
- playback at 59.94
- base frame rate is set at 59.94, with "both edits and footage have the current base FPS as set above or in the EDL itself"
I import the EDL and the reels are not loaded. I select "Load from desktop", and the reels still do not load.
I deselect "don't replace loaded reels" and manually drag the two clips and replace the two reels.
I can now see the clips in the timeline, but have an error message in my display - "Frame index out of range".
I'm guessing this could also a be a Premiere CC export problem, but not sure. The sequence is just cuts, no audio.
Here's the edl info:
TITLE: sg_test_edit
FCM: NON-DROP FRAME
001 A002C035 V C 17:40:23:54 17:40:38:41 00:00:00:00 00:00:14:47

* FROM CLIP NAME: A002_C013_0509UM_001.R3D
Trying to nail down a workflow for 4k 60p, and not feeling very encouraged.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I've had a similar frame-out-of-range problem for the last week or so in Sg ... import an edl, and even if I've already set the "base" in Prefs, and for that project BEFORE re-loading the reels, I ALWAYS get the f-o-o-r screen instead of my footage. After going back and forth setting those things to the same thing again and maybe again, I'll finally get where it all loads & runs. Save the project.
Come back by opening it again later ... and GET THAT DAMN FRAME-OUT-OF-RANGE thing again and have to ... again ... spend 10-15 minutes setting and re-setting all those same DAMN things until it finally decides to accept my footage.
I've only ... in the last two weeks ... TWICE opened a project I'd previously had working and graded on ... that simply loaded. Every other time I've had to waste time re-setting/re-setting/re-setting/close-open-re-set/re-setting & etc. until it finally works.
No help from anyone about why this is now happening, how to stop it, or fix it quickly. Damn dumb behavior.

How can I create 50p footage from 50i in Premiere or After FX?

Hi,
I'm trying to create 50p footage from 50i. Not 25p! I want to create 50p footage through a process that it is used in 100 HZ LCD TV sets
This is the idea. If you have 50i footage you can easily interpolate fields and get a 25p footage. Fine.
But I would like not to do a simple interpolation.
Let's say I have two 50i frames. I want to create a frame between the two made with the lower field of the first one and the upper field from the second one . This is the process used by 100 Hz LCD monitors that can actually invent non-existent frames by this method.
But Premiere doesn't work this way.
If you try to export a 50i footage to 50p what you get is 50p footage with identical frames at twos (1=2, 3=4, etc..)
You can try a slightly different approach.
You can slow down 50% the 50i footage (and then speed it up again). This forces Premiere to interpolate and create an extra frame but.. here is the problem.. Premiere "thinks in frames".. and interpolates a totally new interlaced frame. This frame, coming from interpolation, is actually a "fake" frame Comes from nowhere and so it has much less definition then the originals (the one before and the one afterwards). If then you render, speed up at 200% and watch the result what you see is a good frame, a blurred frame, a good frame, a blurred frame, etc..
Does anybody know a method of getting out 50 real interlaced or progressive frames with this composition?
INTERLACED (100i): 1U1L 1L2U 2U2L 2L3U 3U3L
PROGRESSIVE 50p): (1U1L) (1L2U) (2U2L) (2L3U) (3U3L) .... That is exactly as interlaced but with the two fields interpolated
Also please note that this method applied on an edited movie creates smooth transitions at cuts (a frame that has 1 field from the scene before and one form the scene after).
thanks,
Marcello

I would do this outside of Premiere.
Here's a thread to pull.
Though the web site information deals with NTSC, the script's author (Dan Isaacs) has built in several PAL options as well. I've just never used them.

How do you combine footage from multiple cameras in Premiere Pro?

I am making a documentary using footage from multiple cameras-- including DSLRS, a Panasonic HP170, and some other cameras.
All footage is shot in 1080p and same frame rate but when I upload all the footage, the footage from the DSLRs looks choppy.
What is the most efficient way to combine this footage and edit it together?

Moving menu template from premiere elements 4 to premiere elements 9

Last year I upgraded from premiere elements 4 to 9. I could not find a generic menu template in premiere elements 9 so I moved one from the program files of premiere elements 4 to the program files of premiere elements 9. This seemed to work okay except that the background art that I used for the main menu does not show up on the burned DVD even though it is there when viewing the project. I'm using a PC with Windows 7. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Several of the menu templates for PRE9 had problems, such as custom backgrounds ignored. A. T. Romano did a lot of work on investigating these issues.
For example:
Premiere Elements 9 Disc Menu (main/scene)
PE9 Menu background
It seems likely that whatever caused the faults in PRE9 is also tripping up with your PRE4 template. Others have reported that the problems were fixed in PRE10.
Cheers,
Neale

Does Premiere Elements support DVCPRO-HD? How do I ingest and work with HD-footage from HVX-200?

Hi there,
I work with Premiere Elements 11 on a windows PC, and I try to ingest HD-footage from Panasonic HVX-200 Camcorder. Premiere Elements only recognizes thumbnails, but not the footage itself? What do I have to do? Or does Elements only support SD-footage? Do I have to install DVCPRO-HD Codec? Where do I get it then?
Thanks for your help!, yours Mike

Welcome to the forum.
PrE does support HD material, just not all of it.
With DVCPRO HD on P2 media, I am not sure that you will be able to work directly with the media files from your Panasonic in PrE. This is the list of supported formats: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-1665492e133c9c19956- 8000.html#WS300DE01D-F057-4639-96D1-F99EEE163C24
PrPro can Import and edit DVCPRO HD on P2 media. The Panasonic P2, along with its metadata is supported: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project !

Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project on exit! When I reopen the project, the timeline needs rendering again! Can anyone help me with this problem, it's driving me mad!
Is there a fix, or is it a problem with settings in the program! Any help, greatly appreciated! Mike's Media.

Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
Along with the answers to Steve's questions, please tell us about your computer's I/O sub-system, i.e. your computer's HDD's, and especially where the Project, the media and the PrE Scratch Disks are stored. For instance, if everything is on C:\, or perhaps the Project, media and Scratch Disks are all on an external USB 2.0 HDD.

How to import footage from Sony F55 to Premiere CS6?

I'm going to shoot a project on HD with a Sony F55 (not in 2k or 4k). My DoP has given me some test footage, but I am unable to import the footage into Premiere. Can it import native or do I need to download any additional elements?
Thanks, Jason

Thanks. When I try and import the file, right now I just get a green blank screen when the clip comes up. (I have successfully loaded the plug-in). I just dragged and dropped the clip plus its supplementary files into the project, and is said that 3 of the supplementary files weren't compatible (one is .mxf.bmp and one is .BIM). The .mxf clip itself is what appears, but it is just blank. I'm wondering if I'm loading the clip wrong?

AME 2014 Export Error. Sequences not updating from Premiere.

It seems that queuing sequences from Premiere Pro to AME via Ctrl+M is forever broken as that causes Premiere to hang and crash on the "Export Media" dialog box. This has been broken for several months. I have talked to developers with no resolution to this. Because of this, I now can only export projects by dragging sequences over to AME from Premiere. This has worked fine until a few days ago.
What happens now is that AME gets part way through encoding a video and then hangs and fails encoding. I get the super helpful
12/19/2014 03:25:14 PM : Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I have created new sequences with the same media, removed 3rd party audio plugins, moved all the footage over to a different drive, tried to encoded to a different format like AVI, and I have tried setting the encode to save on several drives. It always fails at the same point. It seems hang and fail on clips that I created in AE, which are rendered using PhotoJPEG .MOV. I tried rendering the clip where AME fails using a different AVI container, but it ended up failing in the same spot.
The strangest thing is that when I disable the clips in Premiere and dragged tried rendering, it hangs on the same clip as if it wasn't disabled! I have also deleted the clips from the timeline and they still show up in the preview window in AME and it hangs on them and then fails!
Here are my system specs:
Premiere Pro CC (up to date)

Adobe Media Encoder (AME)

I tried a re-install of PP and AME, moving all assets to another machine and encoding, enabling and disabling "Import sees natively" in AME, enabling and disabling Mercury in PP and AME, and I got the same result. AME fails encoding with a "error compiling movie" error. Same result when I tried to export from PP.
The only thing that worked was re-rendering all the clips that I created in AE using a different codec (was MOV PhotoJPEG and I re-rendered to Lagarith AVI). This seemed to work. When it would fail in AME it would hang on a frame for several minutes before giving me the sheep sound. The original MOV PhotoJPEG clips from PP played fine in the sequences and in media players. No drama, no glitches.
Not sure why AME wan't updating the sequences from PP. The fix for that was launching AME with Shift held down to clear preferences. Also I made sure I saved in PP before I dragged over to AME for encoding.
Hopefully this will help someone else along their journey. Thanks for looking!

Edited footage from AE not playing correctly in PPro CS4

First- I'm a novice.
I captured footage from a Canon GL2 (shot on the Auto settings) into Premiere Pro CS4 that was shot in front of a blue screen. In the timeline, I selected the blue screen footage (avi file), photo for backgroundn (jpg), and audio, right clicked and choose the After Effects Composition feature to create a DynamicLink. In AE, used KeyLight to correct background. Then I clicked save. In PPro, the link is updated but when I play it, the video does not move with the audio. The video is much delayed in moving. How can I fix this? The frame rate is the same in both pre and post AE- 29.97fps.
Thanks-
Amy

Sorry I wasn't clear. I rendered the clip in AE and had the same video lag not matching the audio. I just went back and rendered the entire sequence in Premiere which resulted in the video in sync with the audio (yeah!) but all the video clips appeared to be a bit pixelated, not as crisp as prior to rendering. I may not be using the best way to render. I simply went up to the Sequence tab in the top menu, chose render entire work area.

Some scenes displaced when dyn. linked from Premiere CS4

Hi -
I've encountered an odd problem, and I was windering if anyone else has seen it. My system:
Win 7 64
Prod Premium CS4
When dynamic linking a sequence from Pr to Encore, the rendered sequence has a few seconds where the image is moved about 1/3 of the frame to the right and down. 5a few seconds out of a 60 minute project) I only see it in the Encore monitor window and on a burned DVD. The sequence in Pr looks fine, and it also renders out fine from Premiere. It's only when dynamically linked that this happens.
It has happened on two different projects, each time for about 5 to 10 seconds. The only way to solve the problem was to render out the problem bit from Premiere, then drop the new footage in the same position in the sequence. Encore is clealy not reading something correctly. The problem areas don't correspond to clips in the sequence, though, they go across clips.
What is odd is that one project was Cineform 1920x1080 25p, and the other project was HDV 50i. The Encore project is PAL DVD in both cases.
I have tried to see what the two problem bits did have in common, and it is these things:
They are both nested sequences, nested more than once.
Both had the fast blur effect applied at a transition (but the problem remained when it was deactivated)
Magic Bullet Looks was applied.
Please note that in the projects these same conditions didn't cause any problem at all 99% of the time. Has anybody else seen this before?

By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
Hope that helps,
Seb

Exporting 5.1 ac3 audio from Premiere Pro CS4

Hi there,
I wonder if anybody can help me out with exporting 5.1 ac3 audio from Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0?
I have a 3min long HD 5.1 clip that I need to cut down to 60seconds and add fade transitions to. The final clip will be used in a media player with very specific spec - the clip needs to remain HD 1080p with a frame rate of 29.97 and a maximum CBR of 38. The audio must be 5.1 aac. The format can be mpeg 2 or h.264. The overall quality loss needs to be minimal.
Up to now I have been cutting up footage that only needs to be stereo and I found the best way to to this while keeping quality was to use Prem Pro and export as mpeg 2 1080p 29.97, quality:5, bitratre: CBR 38, audio as mpeg layer 2 (as these clips were stereo only). These clips played back fine and looked great so I wanted to keep the 5.1 clip process as close to this as possible.
So far all I have been able to get from Premiere Pro is an audio codec called DVD_LPCM which the media player will not recognise. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to 5.1 audio so I may be doing something obviously wrong...
- I have purchased the 5.1 surcode codec and its activated.
- I have started a new AVCHD (I need 1920x1080) 1080p 29.97 project with a 5.1 audio master
- The orignal file is an mpeg which I have pulled into PPro and selected Clip > Audio > Breakout to mono
- I take the 6 mono channels in the project panel and put them into thier own mono tracks in the sequence.
- the video I use is the original mpeg with the 5.1audio muted in the sequence.
- When i select each track in the project panel and go to Clip > Audio > Source channel mappings, I see that track has already been allocated a source channel. So I go to the Audio Mixer panel and adjust the 5.1 panners for each tyrack according to what the Source Channel Mapping window has told me - Audio 1 is is L, audio 2 is R, audio 3 is LS, 4 - Rs, 5- C and 6- LFE
- I cut the video and all the mono track to the 60seconds I need and export using these settings:
Video - exactly as before
Audio -
Format - Dolby Digital, Codec - SurCode, Audio Coding Mode: 3/1 (L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs - 5.1 Surround), LFE: on.
The clip exports with DVD_LPCM 5.1 audio. Is it to do with the AVCHD preset? Could anyone help me get aac? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Using AME and the SurCode Plug-in, here's how the dialog screen looks for the Audio Tab in PrPro 2.0. It should be similar in CS4:
You do have the Minnetonka SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in, right?
Good luck, and hope that this is helpful.
Hunt
PS - note that in the screen-cap, I have composited the dialog box, as though it fully displayed, with no need to scroll it. Depending on your display, you may need to scroll, and your scroll bars will look different from what you see here - just ignore that part of it.

Working with 48fps footage in Premiere CC

Hi there,
I am currently working on a 24fps project with R3D footage in Premiere.
Some of the footage for a new sequence I am working on was shot at 48fps (and will need to be exported to 24fps while retaining 48fps' slow motion effect) and I am unsure how to go about this.
Can Premiere play back in the program monitor at 48fps? Can it interpret/render 48fps footage to export to 24fps while retaining the original attributes of the 48fps footage? Or would I need to use additional software to accomplish this?
Ideally I would like to be able to edit/playback the footage at the correct frame rate within Premiere as I need to synchronise it with music to see which segments of the clips I have will work best.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If I'm understanding you right. Your R3D footage is a baseline of 24fps (or 23.976fps) but was overcranked on the camera to 48fps, meaning it should playback half the speed of realtime. I don't know much about camera settings but normally the camera processes this internally and then spits it out at 24fps but was actually overcranked for slow-motion. Arri Alexa does this internally. I have worked on R3D slow-mo before and I know it processes it internally also.
Unless the red camera has a setting to turn that off I do not know. The important part is; is the footage at 24fps or 48fps BASELINE and how much excess fps was set to overcrank in the camera settings? (i.e was it set to 'squeeze' 48fps into 24fps)? Normally premiere pro cc is good at reading the footage's baseline fps value in the browser.
But to interpret footage inside of premiere pro cc, its easy - all you do is bring in your footage into the browser, then right click on it, go to modify then interpret footage; in the menu at the top, change the fps value interpretation from 48fps to 24fps (or whatever baseline you want) and then click ok. Drop the clip onto a timeline matching the rest of your baseline fps and it should be slow-mo. You should see the value of the clip's timecode length increase double in the browser metadata.
Hope that helps, let me know how it goes. Be useful if you can take screen grabs of the metadata so we can see what your looking at.
Regards
