Frame duplication during 2vuy (in .avi) import on Premiere CS4

Hello:
I am currently trying to import a complete Premiere CS4 (version 4.2.1) project on my laptop, Windows 7 - 64bit, which doesn't have an AJA Kona 3 card installed. The detailed file specification of the source file is given further below and had been created on a system with AJA's Kona card. The source files are in an AVI wrapper, in OpenDML, with 2vuy and had been created by the AJA Kona card on a different system.
The file gets imported into Premiere, and it displays the correct file length, here of about 56mn 24s. However, I can only access the first few seconds. If I drag the video file to the timeline, I realized that every frame is present for about 2 minutes and 40 seconds, which results in about 18 seconds of the original file length. To explain it in different words - I have the same frame at position 00:00:00, 00:00:01, 00:00:02 until 02:39:24.
The original files can be properly displayed within the windows media player, which utilizes a YCbCr Codec from Drastic Technology Inc. Therefore, I strongly believe that the source files aren't corrupted. What should I do now?

Hello Filmemacher,
AJA has a QuickTime Codec out for the Format you need. The Codec is free and the File can be played/exported through QuickTime (Pro Version only). Another Solution is the Drastic Codec Suite that has all the AJA/Kona, DVS, Optibase Codecs plus the normal ones from Windows (IYUV, I420, UYVY, YUY2, YVYU) in one Codec. The download Link has been updated with the new Versions on the Drastic Website. The Drastic Codec works for AVI in Windows and MOV for QuickTime for encoding and decoding Films. I use them myself for a long Time now without any Problems.
Please note: There are some Links to old Versions of the Drastic/Optibase Codecs in the Internet, mainly in Eastern Countrys. Stay away from them because of many Virus alerts and unstable outdated Versions.
Best regards, Mickey
Here is the Link to Download the new Version 3.4 with Vista/7/8 64 Bit Support:
http://www.drastictech.com/download_codec.html
Other Platforms supported: Windows 9x/SE/ME/NT/2K/XP/Vista/7 (all 32 Bit)

No audio after Cineform avi import into Premiere Elements 7

I cannot get any audio when I import AVCHD from a Canon HFS10 that has been converted by Cineform Neo Scene to AVI. I've tried several combinations:
Canon HDV30 HDV converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to PE7 - Works fine
Canon HDV30 HDV converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to Windows Media Player - Works fine
Canon HFS10 AVCHD --> import to PE7 - Works (but very slow, just a dual-core computer), has audio
Canon HFS10 AVCHD converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to Windows Movie Maker - Works fine
Canon HFS10 AVCHD converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to PE7 - No audio
Canon HFS10 AVCHD converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to PP CS4 - No audio
Anybody have any suggestions...?

Steve,
I agree with you. Back before complete compatibility with AVCHD by most NLE's, Neo Scene showed promise, but there were issues. Now, both PrE and PrPro have native support for the AVCHD material, so there are no compelling reasons to rely on Cineform for this.
If one wants to convert from full HD AVCHD to SD, this is most effectively done in camera at Capture. There are several alternate workflows, and if necessary, or useful, I'll post links to Dan Isaacs' workflow instructions.

Problems With Camptasia AVI File in Premiere CS4

Hi everyone,
I need help with the creating a video in Premiere CS4 using some Camptasia AVI files. I have used Camptasia to include a voice-over into a presentation and then saved it as an AVI file. I was able to include that AVI file into my Project in CS4 and edit it there adding to video files transferred from the camera. The problem came up when I tried to export the CS Project as an AVI or FLV file. It does not save the entire video but rather saves only the first couple of minutes of it. Can someone recommend me what to do?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Bahar

The problem is in the file itself. You set up your project in premiere at 30fps and imported file from camtasia studio does not have that frame rate. Camtasia does not have a good and fast enough codeck that would record 30fps. So premiere will try to recompress your file to proper structure with 30fps thus will give you the output of a very short file.
Camtasia have another software that is designed to capture needed frame rate but it is available only to the big companies.
I have tried this soft and ran into this problem and camtasia replied to me whit statement that this soft is not designed to capture full frame rate video.

XDCAM SD PDW530p MXF files unable to import into Premiere CS4

Hey guys,
New to the XDCAM world...I'm trying to load in the mxf files using the import function but I get an error 'Codec missing or unavailable'. Can anyone shed some light on this? While i'm here the footage is shot in 720 x 576 @ 50MB...what project option should i select?
Cheers.

I am indeed referring to our PDW530p camera which is a disc-based (PDF23a Sony, bluray-like, discs) camera that saves every shot in a MXF file, no matter what format is used. I probably made it more confusing then necessary. Basically you can shoot to DVCAM and that is a format Premiere can natively import. IMX50, which is XDCAM as far as I am told, can not be imported by premiere natively.
@colin: we tried this "trick" (I am now in doubt if we renamed to .avi or to .mpg, it was a while back) on a machine that has a RT.X2 which does not support IMX50 and we NEEDED to be able to either convert or edit the clips. We have two systems here, one with the Axio and one with the RT.X2 (I know, I know :( ). We eventually ended up going to the Axio system, imported the footage in CS3, converted it to something premiere natively does support, transported that over the network to the other machine and loaded it in.
But we WERE able to get the clips in premiere on the RT.X2 system by renaming the clips. We just did not trust it. Feel free to try it if you wish. :)
On the Axio machine you can indeed playback IMX50 recored clips/footage in any program thanks to the hardware, drivers and codecs (it is a joined accomplishment *cough*) Matrox provides for their boards.

FCP XML Import on Premiere CS4.0.1 Windows

Great work on implementing FCP XML import on CS4.0.1. We have all our media mounted on a network share. On the Mac exporting a sequence from FCP and then importing into Premiere on the Mac works no problems. On Windows this is a problem, Premiere prompts for each of the media items, which is pretty painful to re-link again. Looking at the FCP XML this appears to be down to the <pathurl> area of the XML. These are typically file://server/Volumes..... etc... which doesn't translate to any of the file mountings on Windows, which are D: E: F: etc... mounted drives. Is there any way to help us? We can write a script to manually modify the XML. Can you explain how Premiere Windows likes to read these Mac URLs?

Thank you all for your help. It still leaves a bit of a workflow problem. Basically we have some people ingesting / organizing content and maintaining on a network share. Duplicating the media is slow and moving it all into one volume is not too good either as it breaks all the relationships for others. Re-linking is good, but doesn't work if the material is spread across subdirectories and giving a key to link all the media together looses some of the benefit of having the export from FCP in the first place, it's just as easy to re-make the edit. We are only using cut edits, so this is quite simple. For users on the Mac using FCP and handing off to Premier it works fine, the problem is we want to hand off to Windows Premier. It's ok to run a script over the files to change the XML naming of the <pathurl> which seems to be causing the problem, but how to describe this in the Windows world? Thanks for all the help.... anyone from Adobe with any ideas? The problem as I see it is how to identify Mac OS mounts to a Windows version of Premier on XML import.

Export .avi from Mac Premiere CS4

I need to export or somehow achieve an end product of an .avi file from my Mac Premiere CS4. Can anyone help?

Either get a PC for that job or export as MOV and convert to an AVI wrapper.

Video audio problem when import to premiere CS4

I have a file encode by flash media live encoder and I try to edit in premiere CS4 but when I import the file the video audio is not synchronised. The recorded file play run good in adobe media player. Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

Going back a bit over a year, there was a thread on this forum, where the OP needed to use the Flash Live Recorder, as there were both streaming material from lectures and then edited material to go up on their intranet Web site for later viewing. That poster had similar issues with the live material, IIRC.
I am certain that this thread was after the forum change over, so should still be on the servers. Wish that I could recall more details, but in the end, the OP found resolution to the problem. I know that I participated, but from the side lines. Seems that there was even footage of a rock performance involved in the feed and I edited the FLV material on my PrPro 2.0 with Moyea FLV Importer for Premiere plug-in. I'll look in my e-mail and YouSendIt account to see if I can find the poster's name (might not be his Adobe screen name), but a Search of this forum ought to turn up something. I'll also do a Search and maybe between us, we can find that thread, as there might be some useful tips in it.
In the meantime, maybe this ARTICLE can help you edit the OOS issues.
Good luck,
Hunt

Avi file won't import into Premiere CS4 after re installing

Recently I purchased a new PC (Windows 7 64 bit, i7 processor). I re installed Premiere Pro CS4 and copied over my project files from my old system (Windows Vista 64 bit, AMD quad core processor). I attempted to load a project that was created on the old system, which contained an avi file that was done in AE CS5, the avi file was not downloaded from a camera. When Premiere kept locking up when I attempted to load the project, I finally figured out that it was getting hung up trying to load this avi file. After further investigation, I found that the avi file wouldn't play using any type of player, including WM Player, and DivX player. Funny enough, QT played the file, but only after a delay of about 10 minutes before opening. All of the posts I've seen on the forums indicate codec issues. I've installed three different codes, and used gspot to inspect the file and it indicated "no codec needed".
I must reiterate that on my old system, the file was created in AE CS5 and exported as an avi, and works fine.
Can anyone shed some light

Exporting an avi out of premiere cs4 from a tiff sequence (1024 x 576)

Hi i would be so greatful if someone could inform me of the correct setting becouse at the moment the avi i export seems to not be wide enough.
I have a tiff sequence renderd out from after effects at 1024 x 576 and set to square pixels. i am required to then take this into premiere and render out as a microsoft avi with the compression set to none. i also need to add a sound file to this the movie.
i begin by setting up a new sequence and as i cant seem to set the size to 1024x576 i have selected the preset widescreen 48khz (not 100% if this is right) i then bring both my tiff sequence(1024x576) and my music on to the time line, i the click export and media : Here is the settings on the screen and as you can see in the preview widow the size seems to look about right. However once the movie has been exported it does not appear as wide as this.
i would be so greatfull if you can tell if i am doing anything wrong.
Thankyou,
Ryan

Why do you need the AVI file, and does it have to be DV AVI? The problem will be that DV AVI is going to Export to less than what you have in both your Project/Sequence and your Assets. [Edit] Must have been dreaming, as you never mentioned "DV. You should be able to Export out as MS AVI [Uncompressed]
Depending on exactly how you will use this file, might provide some other alternative. There are several other good CODEC's, that might get what you have into what you want.
Please define the use for the Exported file? Answers will flow in.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing AVIs into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 !!!

Heres what Im trying to do: We have been working on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system for the past couple years and just got 2 new Matrox Axio LE NLEs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. We are trying to get all our old projects from the Velocity system onto our Matrox systems and not sacrifice any of the video quality. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is by compressing old projects to AVI format from the Velocity system and move them over to the Matrox using an external hard drive.
I was actually able to bring in an AVI from the Velocity system onto the Matrox yesterday using the same Velocity settings below, except that I changed the aspect to 720 x 480 and the audio sample rate to 48,000. When playing the video on the timeline in Premiere the video looked great on my computer monitor but on my external NTSC monitor all motion in the video looked a little jerky as if frames are missing. I tried importing the test clip into both Matrox uncompressed 8-bit and uncompressed 10-bit projects and had the same resulting jerky looking video. Even after rendering the clip the video looked the same. Then I tried exporting the clip to mpeg using the Matrox media encoder but saw no change in the jerky movement. Here are my project and export setting for both systems.
The AVI was made on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system. My project settings on the Velocity system are;
29.97 drop frame
720 x 486 24 Bit
Interlaced field order B
Sub pixel off Cropping off
Audio:
16 sample
44 / samples / second
2 channel
Export settings are; (These are the settings I was trying the first time that didnt work. All I changed the second time was the aspect ratio to 720 x 480 and the audio sampling rate to 48.)
AVI
Frame rate 29.97
720 x 486
No Compression
Color 24 Bits
Field handling interlaced field order B
Audio:
16 sample
Sampling rate 44
2 channels stereo
Do you recommend compressing the video coming out of Velocity?
There are a couple other options other than No Compression in the export dialogue such as: Microsoft H.263 video codec, Microsoft H.261 video codec. I definitely want to maintain the highest quality possible.
Matrox Axio LE project settings
Editing mode: Matrox NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video
Frame Size: 720 x 486
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1 / DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: Lower field first
Display: Format 30fps Drop Frame Timecode
Audio: Sample 48,000 Hz
Display: Audio sample
Video Rendering: Maximum bit depth is Unchecked
Previews: File format Matrox uncompressed 8-bit NTSC (tried Matrox uncompressed 10-bit too.)
I think the jerky video might be due to dropping frames but Im not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

While it seems that the field order is consistent, I have seen issues where converting from clips that change field order creates this sort of problem. This is particularly obvious when converting from MJPEG codecs like Meridien or Miro/Pinnacle to DV.
What happens if you just import the files into Premiere and let it do the rendering to the project settings?

(Administration - Marketing - Import), you can set a parameter value "Import mode" for what to do in case of duplication as "update existing records", "Import new records". The final report of this import is presented as a text file that can be viewed in

Administration - Marketing -> Import, you can set a parameter value "Import mode" for what to do in case of duplication as "update existing records", "Import new records". The final report of this import is presented as a text file that can be viewed in Business Administration - Marketing -> Import -> Exceptions. Whatever the exception, including duplication import occurs during import and recorded in a text file. What are the fields that determine the duplicity? How I can I can change those?

You will be returned anything that is in the option's value parameter. What is displayed in the dropdown and what is put in the value attribute do NOT need to be the same, so maybe you should start there.

VOB converted to AVI audio files imported to premiere play in different order than the video files

Hello there,
I extracted the VOB files from a burned dvd created with Adobe Premiere pro 1.5, I converted the files into AVI files, then I imported it to Premiere CS4. The video sequence on the timeline plays in the correct order but a very fast speed, and the audio sequence plays all the individual clips in a random order, not in the order that they were originally edited in.
What did I do wrong while importing or converting?
Elio38

Hi Elio,
What program, or utility did you use to convert the .vob files to .avi, and what was your target codec? I typically use SUPER Converter, which is free and very versatile, to convert program stream .vob files to a useable format that PPCS4 is compatible with. You can also directly import and edit a .vob file from a DVD in PPCS4 by simply changing the file extension to .mpg. However, doing so will eliminate the audio channel from the video clip in PPCS4.
I was able to recreate what I believe was your issue when I tried converting a .vob file to an .avi file, regardless of what codec I used. I had no issues what so ever when converting the .vob file to a .mov file using the DV codec, for example. It could be a bug with PPCS4 because the same .avi file I created with the DV codec played back fine in WMPlayer, and VLC, but played back almost in slow motion in PPCS4. It might be advantageous for you in the meantime to re-convert the .vob files to .mov files and just choose the standard DV codec.
Remember, you are trying to edit files that are intended for delivery and that were not originally designed to be edited. Attempting to edit inter-frame formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, FLV, etc...has caused many a headache and even today, are not the easiest to work with.

H264 MPEG AVI import video timeline problem

Hi,
I am a new user of Adobe Premiere CS4. I am having a problem of importing H264 MPEG AVI files. I set my project to be HDV 720p 30fps. I grabbed Gspot and it has identify my video is a H264 codec name H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. When I import the video I setup the timeline and when I do a playback review in the far left window (default setting). It play the vido super fast, but the audio is playing normally. I zoom in the timeline and it seems to think each second is one frame. So it is playing the video like 30x speed(not 100% on how much faster, just lot). What am I doing wrong?
After playing around some more, it looks like the video are keyframes as the time jump from frame to frame is huge, not what it look like in a WMP. Did I somehow imported and it stripped out the deltas?

I looked at the thread and tried it, I get this error.
