Get to know the Premiere Pro Forum "Regulars"

I've been coming to the forum for a while now, mostly to get help from the experts, and to help out others when I can.  I really appreciate some of the frequent contributors who have helped me out when I've come across problems I couldn't find a solution to on my own.
If anyone is interested, I was hoping to start this thread to get to know some of the frequent members of the forum (what they do for a living, the company they work for or own if they want to mention it, where they're from, etc).
I guess I'll start.  I work for a production company in Indiana.  We mostly do corporate training, marketing, and sales videos but we also do some brochures, photography, and multimedia projects.
I've been editing on Premiere for about three years, starting with 2.0 and I have experience with Encore, After Effects, Flash, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver.  I also edit on Final Cut Pro at home and have experience with Avid.
Here's our company's website that I created using Flash, if anyone's interested in taking a look (not trying to advertise).  www.klaesimage.com
Anyway, hopefully some of the other regulars (Harm, Jim, Wine Snob and others) will chime in.

Well guys, here is a completely different story.
I started at the Royal Dutch Naval Academy as a cadet, then went on to study economics and went into the banking business, commercial loans, asset management and stock brokerage. Then moved on into the field of HR Consulting, first with Hay Management Consultants, then with my own firm, specialized in organizational structures, compensation & benefits, performance management and MD. I have worked with many multinationals and large companies, like Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon, Unilever, Philips, Akzo-Nobel, MSD, Canon, McKinsey, Fuji, Honeywell, BASF, Schiphol Amsterdam Airport, Mercedes Benz, and the like on these issues. In all, nothing to do with video editing, so what the f**k am I doing here?
Purely as a hobby I started with photography during my grammar school days in Switzerland, then moved on to 8 mm film, then in the early '80's started with video (VHS-C) and progressed from there, first using analog editing equipment and later digital. I started out with Ulead Media Studio and switched to Premiere with version 5.1. I have used each and every version after that, so now I'm on CS4.2 MC.
Almost all the video work I do is hobby, with the exception of a report of an Island Hopping trip in the Caribbean on board the sailing vessel De Eendracht and a promotional video for the largest crude oil terminal in the world (still working on the latter).
Now many of you may see me as somewhat of a hardware guy with some knowledge of computers, and that perception is not altogether wrong. During my studies I got acquainted with programming, first in Basic on a MITS Altair, then APL on an IBM 5110 and a DEC 2060, then on to Fortran, Pascal, LISP, C, etc. Being statistically inclined (some friends have always wondered why I studied economics and not econometrics or math) I was one of the founding fathers of the Hay Benefits Value Comparison, Hay Dynamic Pay Survey and Hay Xpert.
Nowadays I occasionally build relatively high-end systems for people and help them solve problems they may encounter. Luckily for me my son is a BoE, specialized in IT and an expert network and security consultant, doing complex projects at large telecom companies and high-tech organizations, so I always have backup in case I am at my wits end.
That in a nutshell is me.

  • Welcome to the Premiere Pro SDK Forum!

    Hello there, and welcome to this new forum, which is the place to discuss the Premiere Pro Software Development Kit, publicly available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/premiere/
    There is definitely a wealth of development experience out there, and so we hope that this forum will help the Premiere Pro community by providing a centralized, searchable forum for all developers to collaborate and get answers to questions not already answered by the SDK documentation.
    Let's start by asking: Who are you, and what are you developing using the Premiere Pro SDK?
    My role is to produce the Premiere Pro and After Effects SDKs, and help our third-party developers develop plug-ins and otherwise integrate with Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium.

  • Where is a link to the Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1) update? - Can I get help with the ticktime.cpp-290 error?

    Ola to precisando do premiere versao 8.1 caravan consegue o link?
    Message was edited by: Kevin Monahan
    Reason: needed better title

    Hi Kevin,
    I posted about the same problem (TickTime.cpp-290 error) in another thread, but since you're asking here specific questions to resolve it, I'm answering it here.
    Re: Debug Event: [...\ ...\src\TickTime.cpp-290]
    What were you doing when this error started to occur?
              Nothing special I remember. The only thing I do recall, is:
              I was working with Premiere Pro (where the main project is), After Effects but rendering some PNG sequence, and Adobe Media Encoder. I sent from AE to AME a project to render. Configured 2 outputs (PNG & MP4). The same way I sent from PP a project to render and one error occured. Unfortunately I didn't write down the error, but it was like a path C://AME_64/something. But the AME queue updated and everything seemed OK. I close AME to be sure that the error wouldn't be the source of future error during rendering, and relaunched it. And at that time I couldn't open it. I got the error "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue". The only way I found to resolve this is to remove the directory /Users/%USERNAME%/My Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/8.0/". The problem seems to appear when I save the queue. And since that time, Premiere do the TickTime.cpp-290 error.
              Another thing I noticed, don't know if it was there before, is, the AEP file in AME queue setttings displayed framerate as "25 / 29.97 / 30 / ...", a 2 digits number for the framerate. But suddenly (I thought first it was because of the Premiere Pro file being added to the queue, but no because it appended after without it), it was displayed as "25 000 / 29 970 / 30 000", a 5 digit number.
              After that, the TickTime.cpp-290 appeared. Sometimes when opening project, sometimes and resetting or changing the workspace (because it was messed up), sometimes when closing.
    Do you have iCloud installed?
              No.
    Is this a Premiere Pro CC 2014.0 or Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 project that was updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014.2? If so:
              It started long time ago a draft in CS6, but since I reopen the project, I saved new versions in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (not sure if I have other version like 2014.1 or 2014.0). Is there a way to know which 2014 version are my files? If I look into the XML I only saw Version="28"
    Do you have a copy that can be opened in an earlier version?
                  An old draft version in CS6. But that version has footage in different framerate and not all be interpreted at the timeline framerate.
    Do you get the same error in that earlier version?
                   No error here, the file opens properly.
                  Additional info: I tried to open the 2014.2 file on another computer (where PP 2014.2 is installed) and same problem (this computer is on Win7 64-bit)
    Did you use any unusual footage types in your project?
         I used MOV (Animation), MP4 (H264), and PNG sequence. The framerates of the footages are 24,25,30 and 60fps (but everything has been interpreted in 30fps)
    If you remove them, do you still get an error?
                  When I had the error, but not when I open the project file, I resave the file removing anything not interpreted in 30fps (because at that time I still had footage interpreted in their original framerate). I was able to work for some time, but now I can't open it anymore despite that.
    Was the fps interpretation changed in any of the clips?
         Since the error appeared, and because I saw in another thread that it could be related to footage of different framerate, my timeline is now in 30fps and all the footage have been interpreted in 30fps. Footage are MP4, MOV, PNG sequence in 24, 25, 30 & 60fps.
    If so, restore them to their original fps and see if you still get the error.
                  Unfortunately, since I can't open the project anymore, I can't test that.
    Did you use Warp Stabilizer?
              No.
    Do you have any browser plug-ins?
              What do you call browser plug-in in Premiere?
    Are there any third party plug-ins used?
              I have Magic Bullet Looks 2, and I'm using it on this project.
    If so, remove the effect from those clips and see if it improves the situation.
                  Unfortunately, since I can't open the project anymore, I can't test that.
    Some additional infos on my computer.
    I use Windows 8.1 (64-bit),  all Adobe softwares installed have the last update (for video apps, it's 2014.2)
    The language settings are configured in French, but Windows and CC apps are in English.
    If needed the 2014.2 project file is here:

    Thanks in advance to help us to resolve this weird bug.

  • What happened to the Premiere Pro CS3 Forum

    It appears that there is no longer a separate CS3 forum.
    If this is true, have all of the CS3 posts been moved to the Premier Pro Forum?

    Steve,
    There was much confusion as to where one should post, with the old designations. The decison was made to try to group the sub-fora into a managable order. Premiere (non-Pro) was created, and all versions of PrPro (1.0 through CS4) were placed into another sub-forum. Premiere Elements stayed separate, as it should.
    Now, with the two Premiere fora, one should mention their version in the Title, i.e. "[Pr 6.5] Export Issues."
    To me, it makes perfect sense, as soon as one gets used to the change. The Encore forum went from about 15 sub-fora to five +/-, and it works well.
    Give it time,
    Hunt

  • Using the Premiere Pro Title Designer

    I keep seeing lots of discussions about the limitations of the Premiere Pro Title Designer.
    It seemed like a good idea to point out some of the good things about it, just to get it out there for people new to Premiere Pro, or people who have not used the Title Designer much.
    Just to get a couple of things out of the way, there is a problem with the way it handles partial transparency of Photoshop files and other images with an alpha channel, and no, you still can't animate individual parts of the title without making more titles to do the job. But you can put a logo from Photoshop on its own layer, and you can animate individual titles.
    That said, have you looked lately at the ease in which you can create interesting fonts and shapes? Faster and easier in a title than in Photoshop or After Effects.
    Something like this for example. I would not know where to begin to make this in After Effects or Photoshop or Illustrator.
    And even more interesting is that the same exact font style can be applied to a shape. Like this:
    Or this:
    You can imagine how great it would look if I actually had any artistic ability!
    Every time you do something to a font, you can save it as a new style in order to use it again later. In the same project, or a new one a year from now. You can group styles into libraries, you can replace the ones that came with Premiere Pro, (and get them back with a simple reset). You save the styles you use on shapes as a style.
    For over a decade I have had Tim Kolb's free font styles and some templates on my web site here: http://www.stevengotz.com/title_styles.html
    They are free. Have you been using them? If not, why not? And recently he has been putting more free styles on his own web site along with regularly releasing new, free, templates on his BLOG site at http://style4type.blogspot.com/
    All I am saying is that if you have not looked at using the Title Designer lately, then perhaps you might want to take another look. Especially now that with Premiere Pro CC, it is so easy to make unique copies of existing titles without fear of overwriting the original.
    Don't have CC? No sweat. These work with all versions of Premiere Pro as far as I can tell. (Please let me know if you discover otherwise.) The Title Designer has not changed much. Unfortunately. But it is still quite usable and I hate to see people go out and buy titling programs just to do something they could do for free in Premiere Pro.

    Well, I have often wished we could animate the source text like we can in After Effects. Or wished we could have the great font style capability in After Effects that we have in Premiere Pro.
    I just can't get both.
    That is why I came up with the way to create many titles from one, using a Microsoft Word macro, but I can only get it to work in English, or, rather, I can't get it to work with non-ASCII characters.
    The method that was found to do it with Adobe InDesign is great, but no font styles there either.
    The magic that Tim makes with his font syles and backgrounds is just too strong a reason to work completely in Premiere Pro. So making a new title from another is the only way for me to to much of what I want to do. But once I get past a couple of dozen titles or so, I use the macro.

    Hi all,
    I am new to this forum and hope I can get some help. I would like to know if it is possible by using Java (maybe some 3rd party SDK) to get to know the behavior of the user on a particular resource. For a example; a user using a desktop machine with a MS Windows OS performed the following actions
    * printed a MS Word document,
    * started a browsing session
    * edited a document
    * created a new text file
    That wouldn't be easy in any language. For example "create a new text" file means what if I save a Excel document as a csv file? I certainly consider a csv file to be a text file, but it wouldn't for example have a .txt extension.
    Consider also where a email client disallows executables so to send a exe I rename it with a .txt extension. Not really a txt file at all.
    And in terms of printing in Word that would require hooking into word and probably also the printing subsystem. Very hard to do.
    So you would need to define what all of those requirements mean in terms of the OS before proceeding in any language.
    As an example of creating a key logger via java it would probably be done best in another language. But in general
    1. Use C code to hook into the OS to trap key events (and exclude mouse events.)
    2. Write JNI code to accept callbacks from the C code.
    3. Write java code that writes (via 2) the characters to a file.
    I would use this information to create usage patterns and habits of the particular user. Hence, understand the preferences together with the needs of the particular user by building and customizing a user model on these usage patterns. I have searched on the Internet for solutions however I was not that successful. Many solutions were given by either using the Win32 Hooks or some spying/proxy API.This is a lot easier if you base it on a single application. Thus if you built a text editor in java and then recorded all of the action in there it would be a lot easier. And something that you could do entirely in java.
