From FCPX to Premiere Pro (Rendering?)

Looking for a quick simple answer to a quick and possibly foolish question. Is Rendering necessary before exporting in Premiere Pro? I ask because I feel like I can export a 30minute FCPX project with effects,text, transitions with render time and exporting in 10 minutes (exaggerating of course). But the same project, same situation, I have to wait an hour or two because of rendering then exporting.
Could be my MacBook Pro in general but just curious. I'd rather be in Premiere but I feel real comfortable in FCPX.
I have a MBP 15" Early 2011. Only upgrade is 16GB RAM.
Any help is appreciated.

I did like working in Premiere Pro for one of my school projects but the rendering time and exporting time for it made me stick with FCPX. It was a 45 second fictional commercial and it took over night to finish.
I'm sure I did something wrong or just not used to working in it. I did do some research about Rendering and from what I've read, people say it's unnecescary to render but could be just preference.

I am just moving from FCPx to Premiere Pro

I am just moving from FCPx to Premiere Pro, and one of the things I'll miss with FCPx is all the free wipe's, templates, generators that were availible throught places like FCP.co Forum, is there any kind of free stuff available like this but for Premiere?

Support for Growing files (DNxHD wrapped in MXF) from EVS in Premiere Pro?

We are using Premiere CC Pro on the Mac-plattform against a shared storage soulution. We need to be able to open growing files from an EVS system to edit soccer-highlights while the matches are still playing. The problem is that the codec is DNxHD 120 and the wrapper is MXF op1a. This works fine with a QT-wrapper, but not with a MXF-wrapper. It is not possible for us the change the wrapper on the EVS system, so we need to do something on the editing side. We have tested it, and confirmed that this works fine in Final Cut Pro and Avid, but we want to use Premiere Pro. Can you provide us with a solution? Please do not say that the solution is to use FCP... ;-) Thanks in advance for all help!

Hi Peter!
Latest version. Cc 2014 with all updates.
Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite.
Error during opening. As soon as the file is closed, it opens fine.

Premiere Pro rendering problems

I'm running CS4 Premiere Pro on an I-Mac using Snow Leopard, Intel 2.4 ghz. I'm editing a seminar video that's about 75min long. To start, I did some light color correcting and sharpened the picture. Nothing much. When I pressed "Render effects in work area" it took 8 hours(!) to render. Afterwards I saved my project and reopened it the next day. All the rendering was gone! So, why does this happen? First of all, how can it take so long for just a few simple effects, then have all the rendering disappear? I can't just wait 8 hours at a time for every simple effect to be rendered, I'll never get the project finished. Even more so if the effect disappears as soon as I close it. What is happening and how can I fix it? From looking at the forum, it may even be a known issue. Or should I try to cut the whole thing first and then only render at the very end? It's really a simple project, nothing like a movie, so this shouldn't be a problem for an editing program like Premiere.
I currently have 3GB RAM, but will soon add another 3GB. Not sure if that will help much, though.
Please advise!
Thanks.

Audio incorrectly translated in XML from FCP7 to Premiere Pro

Hi,
I'm sure others are dealing with this also, XMLs from FCP7 to Premiere 6.0.2 not translating audio levels correctly. I'm working on 10 episodes @ 30 min each and the rough cut of approx. 450 to 500 shots, all the audio is faded to -999db!?! Is there a work around for this? Whern I export an XML from the newly created Premiere project and import that into a new Premiere project, there's crazy keyframes all over the place so I really don't know what's going on!
Any advice would be so much appreciated!
My system -
Mac pro 4,1 - OS 10.8.3
Premiere pro 6.0.2
Drivers up to date...
Thanks in advance,
danny

Hi Kevin,
Yes I have filled out a bug report. I've since learned a 'fixit' though, which is to select all the audio and right-click and choose 'Remove Effects' from the menu and then click 'Volume' from the 'Intrinsic Effects' section and click 'Ok'. This set all volume back to 0db. I'm just moving over to Adobe from many years in FCP (common scenario at the moment...) and as such, still learning all the little tricks etc.
Cheers,
danny
EDIT: Obviously if you're importing a rough cut from FCP7 this 'fixit' doesn't work because all audio work will be lost. I've had to set a key frame on each audio clip to maintain all the audio work that had been done... Very frustrating!

Export to Quicktime HD 1080i fails from timeline in Premiere Pro CC

I have AVCHD files in my timeline and need to export Quicktime HD 1080i for a client. From the export settings, I choose Quicktime with the preset for HD 1080i and click on OK. The dialog box export with the progression bar just hangs there. Eventually, I force close Premiere Pro and Premiere Pro will not start again until I restart the computer. What gives?

Here is more information: I use Premiere PRo CC 7 and the taped based media in the bins are from a Canon HV30 taped based catured to PP directly in a MPEG format. I have already used some edits from this media as well as my captures from digital, which isnt causing any problems. When I mark the taped based media in the source window and attempt to drag it into the timeline the hand gets a circle and slash line on it and will not let me place it into the timeline. Yet I can still load my digital stuff into the timeline and edit normally. I need some footaghe from the tapes but cannot get it into the timeline from the source monitor even after updating, shutting down and reopening. No avail still when trying to drag the hand with the circle slash still exist not allowing it into the timeline. Previous footage on the timeline works no problem. This started yesterday.

Importing MPEG-2 .MOV from JVC into Premiere Pro CC

hi all, first post on this forum, i am josh.
down to business. i have been having trouble with premiere pro, i am tasked with editing footage for a promotional video for a college. the footage was recorded on two seperate cameras, first was a JVC HM100, second is a Canon 1100D.
now we have most of our footage, and i have looked through it when i was on a mac, but then we i went home to do it at home on my PC running Windows 8.1 and Premiere Pro CC, i tried to import the JVC footage and it says the Codec is missing. but when i import the footage from the Canon, it works fine, so i have to right codec to play mov. but as far as i know, it is todo with the JVC recording with MPEG-2. now converting the footage works, but it is extremely time staking and i think it is reducing the qaulity a bit. i just want to know if there is another way for me to fix the file and import it into Premiere Pro CC. or a different conversion method. i am using handbrake currently as i know the programme and i can change a lot of quality settings. i have a lot of little files to convert, it isnt a case of a few big files, its over 30 little files, so i would like a working queueing feature if i convert file.
to summarise.
i can import MOV files that were filmed on a JVC camera but i can import files that were filmed on Canon camera, and i beleive it is todo with MPEG-2, that is what i gathered from other posts and forums.
thanks in advance for any help, i hope i gave you all the info you need.
System stuff:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit

MOV is a wrapper (just like the plastic wrapper on a loaf of bread) so you need to determine what is inside the wrapper (white, whole wheat... ???)

Importing composition from AE to Premiere Pro

I have imported a couple of compositions from After Effects to Premiere Pro. They are slideshows
On the Premiere Pro timeline they are extremely show and only showing several frames.
Are they still downloading/importing or do I need to try again or do something else?
Thanks in advance

Thank you.
I tried to render them earlier, and import from an AVI file, but the 2 sequences came back as different sizes.
They looked the same, and correct when I played them in the source box, but when I brought them to the timeline they were different. Essentially, one of the sequences I had to convert to "fit" instead of 100%....but I couldn't figure out how to do this to one without the changing the other.
Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Can't import audio from clip into Premiere Pro CC.

I can export a clip, with audio, from Premiere Pro, but when I import it back into PP the audio track is missing. I noticed that when I delete the .xmp file from the file folder the audio will import with the clip successfully. Can someone please instruct me as to how I can edit the .xmp file so as to correct this problem? Thanks.

I export a clip using the "match sequence settings".
Mmm, don't ever use that. It's for people who don't know what they're doing, and often causes more problems that it solves.
Better to know what you're doing and set up your export manually. Try that, then report back what happens.

New To Premiere Pro - Rendering Out

Hi Guys,
So I am new to Premiere Pro, so I am sorry for the easy question...
So I have set my in and out points, but every time I go to render just that section, it renders the whole sequence... does anyone have any ideas on what i am doing wrong?? I do not want to delete the rest of the sequence everytime i go and render just a small porition of the project... any suggestions on what to do... and how to accomplish my goal...
Thanks
Richard

Can you have multiple work bar's?? For example, if one segment is at the front of the clip and then a couple of mins later you want that piece in addition to the first segment but rendered together... Is that something possible??

Export .wav with markers from Audition into Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I need help in getting a multitrack mixdown with markers from Audition into Premiere.
This is what I have:
An Audition CS5.5 multitrack session with lots of markers
This is what I did to export:
Audition > File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session > .wav & "include markers and other metadata"
When I import that .wav in Premiere Pro there are no markers, neither in the source monitor, nor in the sequence.
When I import it into After Effects, all markers are there. Unfortunately, this does not help me in my editing in Premiere.
Is there any workaround for that? A direkt export from Audition via
Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro
did not help either.
There is a thread on this in Soundtbooth (sorry for posting there, too) where it is stated that it should work in Premiere, too:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3908899#3908899
Please help, regards,
Andreas

Hi Tim,
first of all, thank you for your help.
I also just filed a bug report, as you suggested.
Now let me share the results of checking out the workaround that you suggested:
1. Export to Premiere Pro via "Mulitrack menu > Export to Adobe Premiere Pro"
I had tried that before and found it not working. This was a partial mistake. What I mean by that is, when you do that, the exported .wav files get automatically added to the sequence timeline. And do not show markers. BUT, what I overlooked was, that there is a sequence created alongside which resides in the project panel. This sequence does in fact include the markers, as sequence markers.
Now comes the bitter part: When I delete the automatically added .wav from the timeline and replace it with said sequence, the markers are treated as clip markers. By contrast to After Effects, in Premiere Pro clip markers do not contain any text / names. I.e. all metadata is lost except the mere fact of anonymous markers on the timeline.
2. Export to Premiere Pro via " File menu > Export > FCP XML Interchange Format"
Same as above. Except, that I had not tried that before. What I had tried before was ...
3. Export via " File menu > Export > OMF"
Interestingly, this cannot be imported in Premiere Pro at all. Could this be another bug?
Comment:
I really hope that the markers export/import gets fixed soon.
I also wished, that clip markers in Premiere Pro would be as intelligent as in After Effects (naming, updating, showing their text clearly in the timeline)
I also wished that sequence markers would be as intelligent as comp markers in After Effects in showing their text clearly in the timeline.
... but thats a lot of wishing going on
Kind regards,
Andreas

Audio levels different from camera to Premiere Pro

Why is it that the audio levels on the camera can show the subject peaking right above -10dB, but when I bring the clips into Premiere, they are below -12dB and I always have to boost them?
Just to test this, I cranked up the volume on our camera's inputs to the point where it was clipping. When I took this clip into Premiere it still wasn't hitting 0dB. It was peaking into the yellow, even though the clip was completely distorted because of the clipping coming into the camera.
Is there a way to calibrate either Premiere Pro or our camera so that they match, so when you are peaking at -6dB on the camera, it's the same in Premiere Pro?
I know the solution probably involves a tone generator being used with the camera, which we have, but I'm not exactly sure what to do.

>I cranked up the volume on our camera's inputs to the point where it was clipping. When I took this clip into Premiere it still wasn't hitting 0dB. It was peaking into the yellow, even though the clip was completely distorted because of the clipping coming into the camera.
What I think is you have run into is definitions of the dB. One has dBm and dBV in the electrical world, among a lot of others (for example sound pressure/power and different types like dBA, dBC, and so on within sound levels).
Anyway, to make this not to be a too deep lesson in deciBel (dB), it seem like your cameras define 0dB to be something different than what Premiere defines it to be. The dB presentation (what the display shows) is a logarithmic number depending on a reference level, meaning in this case, if the voltage (sound turned into electricity) hits for example 1 Vrms then we'll call that 0dB (which is probably what Premiere does, and maybe your camera uses 0,775 Vrms as 0dB reference).
Clear as mud so far, right, just wait for the following. Just kidding, but look up decibel in google, and you'll find a pretty complex world.
Bottom line:
I don't think you can get the dB levels in Premiere and your cameras to match, unless your cameras have a setting that defines the 0dB level. The best you can do, in my opinion, is to learn the difference and go from there as you have ("I always have to boost them"). But, also remember that if you do some audio stuff in Premiere that you want to record back onto tape, you'll have to go the other way, lessen the audio level.
Reference levels made by a tone generator is a fine way to learn the differences.
Dag
EDIT: Allthough it probably is a definition question, just never let your camera go over 0dB. As you have noticed, it will be distorted sound. The electric circuits on your camera won't handle over 0dB well.

Problem importing aaf from AVID into Premiere Pro CC

I have a simple AVID project without crazy effects, few dissolves that's it. I am trying to transfer my sequence to PP CC in line with adobe.tv video found here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/moving-to-adobe-premiere-pro-/importing-an-a vid-projects.
However, PP loads the sequence without any clips in it, only one audio file has survived. No error log, no link media dialogue. I have definitely exported all video tracks and everything is fine when I reimport the aaf file back into AVID.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1, AVID MC 7.0, MacPro 8-core (2010), OSX 10.8.4

The AAF import is somewhat limited. There are resources linked to from this page that give information about this workflow.

Why would my entire iMac lose audio from working in Premiere Pro?

When using Premiere Pro, my iMac lost all audio several times in a row. The action that kept causing this malfunction was pulling audio from the Source Moniter into my timeline. The audio clip is a .wav file and is mono, if those details help. The only thing that brings my audio back is restarting the computer. I've gone into my sys prefs for audio and nothing there helps. What could be causing this?

Hi,
Could be problematic clip.
Try with a different wav file and see if you can reproduce the issue.
Also test issue with the same wave file in a new project.
Good luck,
Chesterr
