GFX card doesn't show up in Premiere Pro CS3

I'm quite a noob regarding this, so excuse my ignorance..
I've got a Nvidia GTS250 card that I want to connect via DVi - HDMI, to a HDTV for playback.
The problem is that the card doesn't show up in Premiere (in playback setting).
Does the card not support Premiere Pro? Do I need a bigger/better card to do this?
This is on Windows 7.
PS - I'm planning to upgrade to CS5.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Nico.

That's the best you can do without a dedicated 3rd-party video card like Aja or BlackMagic.
Set up a custom workspace in Pr that resizes the Program Monitor to fill the whole second display.

  • External Hard Drives not showing up in Premiere Pro Media Browser

    Hello All!  My external drive(s) aren't showing up in Premiere Pro... and yes, they were working just fine yesterday.  The internal drives both show up, but the external drive(s) aren't accessible. 
    At first I thought that perhaps it was the drive (a new USB 3.0 that worked yesterday)... I tried changing the cable, changing the drive, even changing from a USB 3.0 drive to a FW 800 drive.  All show up on my desktop, as well as in other applications (including After Effects, and "other" editing platforms) etc... but none are showing up in Premiere Pro. 
    FWIW, I tried in both Premiere Pro CC as well as Premiere Pro CS6.  I have tried rebooting the computer, creating new projects, holding down the option key while starting Premiere, using Digital Rebellion's CS Repair... all to no avail.  Any thoughts?
    My system is a MacBook Pro (late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB Ram, running Mac OS X 10.8.5
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Try to check in Premiere Pro CC as well as CS6 whether your external hard drive is recognized or not.
    Thanks

  • HDV Settings wont show in Premiere Pro CS3

    When I try to create an HDV project in Premiere Pro CS3 the HDV button has no drop down options
    I have checked the settings/en_US/HDV folder and I have six  HTV prpresets inside
    Any ideas why they don't show up when creating a new project?
    Thanks

    The folder files should have read HDV not HTV

  • Premiere pro cs3 doesn't place audio into the corresponding video track

    It places a video clip with audio in the Video 1 track, the audio is not automatically placed into Audio track 1 but it goes to Audio 2 or 3 or 4. I checked settings both Project and Preferences but have not clue what may cause this problem. Any help would be greately appreciated.
    I have Premiere Pro CS3 running on Vista home premium. Thank you

  • Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

    Hi everyone,
    I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection.  All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain.  All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons.  When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment.  In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3.  I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved.  To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
    Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card.  The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
    This works great...on my office computer.
    The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio.  I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears.  If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio.  All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines.  If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio.  Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
    Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week.  Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies.  Again, video imports, audio doesn't.  No audio layer appears.
    Thanks!

    See if this helps... To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 image on student machines

    Hello! At the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year I installed Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection on some of our school computers, a media lab. All the applications work great, such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, etc. The one application we can't get to work for the life of us is Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. It works on my machine in my office, which is a standalone box, but for machines which have been sysprepped and imaged, it doesn't work the same. It will render videos fine if they're slideshows made from individual pictures and music. But as soon as you try to add video, Premiere either crashes, or bluescreens. Happens on any one of the 30 computers in the lab, and my computer in my office which it works perfectly on, is identical hardware. Exact same builds. Only difference is mine wasn't sysprepped and Ghosted, and I'm an Administrator.
    The other interesting thing, is none of the machines will capture. Not a single one. They all show "Capture device offline", but when I plug the cameras into my machine, it picks up perfectly. So tell me, to install Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, do I need to install individually on every machine? Or is there something else I'm missing?
    Also, the students are not local administrators. They're just "Domain Users" on a Windows XP machine part of a server 2003 domain.
    Thanks! I look forward to your replies.

    Some troubleshooting tips.
    Cheers

  • How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ?

    Hi there,
    I have an old video camera that is still working. That video camera uses a Hi 8 tape. The tape is bigger that the current DV tape. The size of the tape is something like a tape cassette.
    How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ? Being an old video camera, the output doesn't have any firewire or USB connector. In fact the only output is has is the Yellow, Red & while connector (is this referred to as composite).
    So, how do I input this Yellow, Red & White cable into the PC (or rather into Adobe Pro CS3) ?
    Any established hardware/convertor to recommend ?
    Thanks

    Ryan,
    For "composite out," only you will need an A-D "bridge" to Capture from that camera. Grass Valley/Canopus offers two really good ones, the ADVC-110 and the ADVC-300. There are others and also PCI A-D capture cards, but the Canopus units get very good reviews.
    One other workflow would be to hook your older camera to a digital video camera with passthrough (not all have this and it is being discontinued fairly rapidly in consumer cameras) and then doing the Capture through that digital video camera via FireWire. You will not have Device Control, but can easily start/stop via the mouse and one hand on the switches, or on a remote.
    Good luck,

  • Startup with Premiere Pro CS3 - few questions

    Hi,
    I am totally newbie to video editing (and to ADOBE CS programs).
    To introduce, here's my setup.
    New camcorder (Canon VIXIA HV30, HDV format, miniDV) - still in the owner manual for very basic things...
    Premiere Pro CS3 (soon CS4 as entitled to upgrade)
    Vista x64 Home Premium
    Core 2 Duo 1.86 Ghz, 4GB RAM
    Firewire card
    I just started to fool around with CS3 and with this camcorder, doing some tests (I use the mini DV HD tapes).
    When I capture to Premiere, here are some of the annoying things happening :
    1) instead of viewing in real time what is happening, I get a multilingual screen saying that tape is being captured... (very very useful !!...)
    2) when I playback the scene, I see edges of things kind of blinking white - just the edges - some sort of what I would call 'distortion' but maybe it's not the right term... Is this just a matter of not having a high-end video card and then, I should not worry: the editing I would do would not appear on a DVD or a published video ? Or, am I doing something wrong ? (last but not least: does it have to do with the camera ? - although I do not see this when watching on the camera side viewer.)
    3) This camera can shoot 30p, 24p, hi-def (but HDV format - not AVCHD): what should be the setup to choose :
    - on the camera ?
    - when I launch Premiere and am prompted with a window to choose format?
    Let's start with these basic questions...
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Rob,
    1.) You *may* have problems with CS3 and 64-bit OS. CS4 is optimized to work with (though it is still a 32-bit app) 64-bit OS. Things *should* be better. CS3 works beautifully with 64-bit OS for some. Others are not so lucky.
    2.) With the Capture of HDV, you will not get real-time Capture preview - nature of the beast.
    3.) Can you post a tiny amount of this footage, or a still cap to show what it looks like?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Pro CS3 - Preset & Media File Questions

    Volunteered to create a high school football highlight video using Premiere Pro CS3 on a Mac.  The video will be shown in a banquet hall using a NEC projector attached to the ceiling.  The hall owner doesn't have any info on the projector, so I don't know its native resolution or any other specs.  The screen is standard size.
    I'm being given a potpourri of media:
    1)  The team's game DVDs shot from the press box.  MPEG Streamclip shows the VOBs have these properties:  720 × 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 9.30 Mbps, upper field first - 128 AC3 2/0, 48 kHz, 256 kbps.  Right or wrong, I converted the VOBs to dv files for import into PP with these properties: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 × 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 28.77 Mbps - DV stereo, 48 kHz, 28.77 Mbps.
    2)  Field level video taken with a Canon HV30 (HD, wide screen).  The files I've been given are:  Apple Intermediate Codec, 960 × 540, 29.97 fps, 30.09 Mbps - 16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps.  I could ask to have these files recaptured as SD files.
    3)  Many side line photos (TIFFs) taken with a Canon 30D.
    After editing the project, I was planning on exporting the final video/audio as a mov file to be played from my lap top hard drive rather than from a DVD.  Not sure about the export settings to do this for best quality.
    But first, which PP preset should I use for this project, or should I use custom settings?  If so, what should they be?
    Have I converted the VOBs to the proper format?
    Should I recapture the HV30 footage or convert it to another format?
    I have the photos in Lightroom and can export them as TIFFs, JPEGs, PSDs or DNGs and can resize them down if necessary.  Any suggestions?
    Finally, I was thinking of converting the background music from mp3s to aif files at 48 kHz, 16-bit to be consistent across the different audio files.  Any suggestions with the audio?
    Any thoughts or suggestions on these issues would be most appreciated.  If the answers to these questions hinge on the projector type, I may have to wing it....or buy my own projector.  Ouch.
    Sorry for the length of this post.

    I recommend setting up a 720x480 4:3 project.  At the very least, have
    them recapture the #2 video files as widescreen SD.  (I'll refrain from
    making any comments about the usefulness of AIC at half-HD)  The
    recaptured widescreen SD files will end up letterboxed in your 4:3
    timeline.  Your other choice would be to set up a 720x480 16:9 project,
    but that would end up pillarboxing the 4:3 footage.  Your choice.
    I think you did a fine job converting the VOBs.
    Resize the images in Photoshop.  Get them as close to 720x480 as you
    can, adjusting that upward to account for any panning and zooming that
    you might want to do.  But don't increase the size any more than you
    have to.  You definitely want to avoid working with huge frame-size
    images in Pr.
    48k 16-bit stereo audio should work just fine.
    You should find out the native resolution of the projector, and whether
    or not it has an internal scaler.

  • Premiere pro cs3 ftp link

    We purchased Premiere Pro CS3 couple years ago.  Had to reformat computer, can't reinstall because downloaded first time with trial and the 30 days is up.  Adobe keeps telling me they will make the Premiere Pro CS3 link to install the program and email the link to me.  This has been going on since the beginning of 2009.  Still no link.  upgraded to CS4 like Adobe suggested, having all kinds of problems.  Is it possible to use someone else's installation discs for CS3 but use my serial number to register it?

    I have Premiere Pro CS4 installed on my desktop and my laptop. My projects are generally short in length (30 seconds to 30 minutes; some larger but the project size doesn't seem to make any difference) and I am still in SD, not HD.  Although a little slow because I'm running 32 bits, initially it worked fine on both, until . . . .
    Desktop - all of a sudden I'm getting an error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working", followed by a couple similar error messages.  It will only stay open for 5 minutes tops before this message appears.  I've tried the solutions posted by Adobe and the Forums but nothing has worked.  I can't think of anything that changed on my computer that made this start happening.
    Laptop - Same error message as above. It never did import to Media Composer. Then I had issues with the Dell XPS laptop so our IT dept worked on it and fixed those issues by replacing motherboard, memory and video card (old video card was a NVIDIA Geo Force 8800 GTX, new card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1800, any thoughts as to whether this replacement was a step up or down from the NVIDIA are welcome). They reinstalled the programs and now Premiere works okay but it still won't import to Media Composer.  Media Composer opens but the project never gets there and I get the red X or the caution triangle.
    Desktop - Premiere doesn't work but it does talk to Media Composer.  If I can get it to stay up long enough I can take the video I create from the laptop, open it on my desktop and then Import to Media Composer.
    The desktop is a Dell XPS 720; Windows XP Professional Version 2002 w/Service Pack 3; 32 bit; Intel Core 2 Quad; Q6600 @ 2.40GHz; 2.40 GHz; 2.75 GB of RAM.
    The laptop is a Dell XPS 720; Windows XP Professional Version 2002; 32 bit; Intel Core 2 CPU; T7200 @ 2.00GHz; 1.99 GHz; 3.25 GB of RAM.
    This is extremely frustrating.  Especially when I didn't have any problems with CS3.  Thanks for any help you can provide

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Trial version refuses to install

    I downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CS3 last night (painfully slow) and tried to install this morning, but it balks a few percent from the ned. I keep getting disk space or priveleges; 60+ gigs on one drive I tried, 80 gigs free on another, and I've administrator priveleges on an XP-Pro system, 2 Gb RAM.
    I even tried letting it use the default c:\... location it defaults with same results.
    This a correupted file or ??? ADBEPPROCS3_ALP.exe 719,174,560 bytes. Should I re-download & try a different mirror site?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Well, it gets better.
    I went thru the slow d/l process again this morning. The download applette was already installed and it started up quickly. I chose details in order for the applet to NOT install upon completion.
    When it did finish, I then let the applett proceed to launch, chose my own temp folder for it to ectract to, and this time it went to completion.
    Great! It worked. At least the installation part did. Someone say something about another shoe?
    Now let's see what the program looks like. I chose it from the All programs menu as there is no Desktop icon, and it asks me for a serial number or to try for 30 days. I select the latter and it proceeds with a loading ... Adobe Premiere CS3 splash.
    ... until it gets to an FL Studio VSTi.dll and proceeds to go no further.
    The system isn't hung, just constant hourglass over the Premiere CS3 splash. Task Manager doesn't even show the application as hung, but under Processes, Adobe Premieree Pro CS3 tops the list on mem usage (263 Megs), and I can kill the process there.
    And no, I haven't tried renaming, moving, uninstalling, etc. concerning FL Studio at this point, although I might test that later.
    So, it sounds like I'm gonna have a tech support issue before I even receive my official copy of the product. I think that's a first.

  • Premiere Pro CS3: How do I get rid of hundreds of short horizontal lines all over the screen?

         I have taken over a high school computer lab. We have Premiere Pro CS3. The Premiere Window gets peppered with many hundreds of horizontal dashes that interfere with readability. The dashes are uniformly about 16 pixels long and two or three pixels thick. They seem random in how many appear at any time. If I resize the window, they diminish and then come back. Occasionally they are gone completely. They never appear outside of the Premiere window. These dashed lines do not appear with other programs. We use Photoshop, Illustrator, and many other programs with no problem.See the attached image.
         The machines have Pentium(R) 4 2.80 ghz; 2 gigs ram; Nvidia graphics card Gforce 8400 GS.
    I have never run across this behavior before. I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
    Geo Monley

    Probably a bad video card - or a bad video driver.  First, try to reinstall the video driver.  If that doesn't work, replace the card.

  • Audio balance greatly different in Encore CS3 after encoding 5.1 master track in Premiere Pro CS3

    Hello! I'm wondering if anyone can offer some advice for my DVD audio problem.
    I have a Premiere Pro CS3 project with a 5.1 master track that appears to behave correctly judging by the meters when I play it in PP. It also sounds reasonable (in a mixed-down fashion, I guess) on my PC system's speakers (L,R,LFE), and all rebalancing and panning seems to work well. However, once I export the master track to Encore using PP's SurCode Dolby Digital codec, the resulting audio mix is totally off. Here's what I get: both front channels play mainly out of the right front and center speakers, and the rear channels play mainly out of the left front speaker. I've tried all different settings, but I can't seem to change this. Well I've read that Encore just sends the audio mix straight through (the DVD trancode status is "Don't transcode"), but when I build the DVD and play it on both of my 5.1 surround systems, the results are just as bad as what my desktop PC speakers were hinting at. [Actually all DVDs that Encore builds are UNSUPPORTED on one of my set-top DVD players and they're both Panasonic! So first, I first have to copy the DVD using Nero and then the copy is accepted by all. That seems to have no bearing on my audio dilemma but I thought I'd mention it. I would love to know what Nero is doing right that Encore is doing wrong!)
    Anyway, here's some background: I began to notice this problem with the audio balancing whenever a .wav music source is imported into PP as a stereo source. [A side issue here - I don't seem to be able to explain - or control - how one .wav file gets imported as stereo while another is imported as 5.1!] Anyway, as one would expect, since my master track is 5.1, the stereo track is automatically set up with a rebalancing tray with the puck set in the middle. The meters show that the source is stereo and the sound has been rebalanced across the master track. If I drag the puck around, the master meters behave accordingly. Then I import my video (.avi video clip) and that sound is imported as a stereo track. For that track, I drag the puck to the rear. Again, the master meters respond correctly. So far so good. But when I export to Encore, the resulting audio mix so completely wrong it can't even be explained as a 5.1-to-stereo downmix situation. The sounds that were supposed to come out of the rear channels are in front left and center (and deafening), overpowering the music that is only coming out of front right. And the rear speakers are silent unless I turn on Pro-Logic on my amplifier, which just confuses the issue. I didn't bother to check LFE as things were bad enough.
    Where I DO NOT have the problem is when the audio file is imported as a 5.1 source (although it is just a stereo CD track ripped using Sony CD Architect). In that case, there is no rebalancing tray and the track meter shows only the L and R channels active, as expected. Ditto for the master track. Now if I go ahead and send the music to a stereo submix track and let that rebalance to the master, I see all channels active. But that results in the problem above after exporting to Adobe Media Encoder using SurCode and then importing the audio into Encore. If I don't remix to 5.1, the audio on the DVD is OK. But I would like to have the music come out of all speakers when there isn't a video soundtrack as there are many still pictures in the presentation.
    So the question is, if I can rebalance and pan channels in PP CS3, why are the results coming out all wrong in Encore using SurCode? And how can I hear my project on DVD the same way I mixed in PP?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Problem solved everyone!!!
    Rebecca of Adobe support helped me identify the root cause: project was originally set up as standard (2-channel) and although it had evolved to a 5.1 project over time, it could never grow up to be anything other than a standard audio project. After you set up the new project, the setting that controls your audio is buried in the project somewhere. Changing your project settings to set up new 5.1 audio tracks for new timelines does NOT make the project 5.1! The real audio identity attribute set at birth is not alterable OR EVEN VISIBLE (even as a grayed-out project setting) although PP will allow you to set up and mix 5.1 audio tracks at will. So you may think you're working on a 5.1 project now, but you're only fooling yourself and PP goes right along with it. Even the .ac3 files you create via export are 5.1! But dare to build your DVD in Encore and all of your timelines are transcoded back to 2.0 instantly. Resistance is futile.
    A new feature in PP CS4 will allow you to view, and even CHANGE, your project's audio identify from standard to 5.1. How sweet!
    Well, I've devised a way to dig out myself out of this deep hole in CS3 and it worked, but I can't promise that it will work for everyone. (This assumes you own the Dolby Digital 5.1 codec from Minnetonka.)
    1. Create a new Premiere Pro project as 5.1 audio from the get-go.
    2. Import your suspected 2.0 project into this new 5.1 project and click each sequence to flesh out the timeline.
    3. Re-export all audio as elemental streams using Adobe Media Encoder. Make sure you export the audio component of each timeline as Dolby Digital 5.1 and exactly - and I mean EXACTLY - the same way. To deviate the audio settings for each timeline is to ask for trouble, so I recommend setting up an audio pre-set that you can just click when you need it.
    4. Create a new Encore project and import all original video assets and your new replaced and, hopefully, 5.1 audio assets into it.
    5. In Encore, create a separate timeline for each pair of assets (.m2v and .ac3 for example). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLACE MULTIPLE PAIRS OF ASSETS ON THE SAME TIMELINE! For some unexplained reason, the build process will transcode the audio back to 2.0, and if you continue pack new 5.1 audio assets on the same timeline, you will get an error message "an input contract violation has occurred" because you now have 2.0 and 5.1 assets on the same timeline, even though you really don't know that and didn't ask for that to happen anyway. (Thanks to Bill Hunt who mentioned his habit of keeping the asset pairs on separate timelines in another thread - that suggestion was absolutely essential to the solution here.)
    6. In Encore, check to make sure that all of your original video sychs up correctly with the new, true 5.1 audio. Link the end actions of each timeline with the next timeline to play in the correct sequence. Check your project for orphan timelines and other errors. Then, before you start building menus and start getting fancy, build a DVD and make sure it plays as 5.1 on your system.
    Tip #1: while you're re-exporting and replacing the audio files, don't have Encore running. I've seen it gracefully and automatically re-import the replaced file once the export is done, but I have also seen it choke with the terribly descriptive "Encore has encountered a problem" message upon discovered the asset is not available while it is being replaced. Encore then continues to mark the asset as offline.
    Tip #2: when re-exporting and replacing files, always select audio and video separately. For some reason, Encore will allow you to replace an .ac3 file when you perform an elemental audio export, but when you try to combine video and audio and both files exist, Encore will prompt you to replace the video, but immediately abort with an error that it cannot replace the .ac3 file, thus forcing you to delete the .ac3 component manually before trying again.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0 update

    Thought I'd share a bit of information on the 3.2.0 update that will be coming out via AUM this morning. The update will come out first via AUM, then will be available on the updates page shortly after at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/?ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_updates.
    The readme will also be hosted at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/premierepro/releasenotes.html.
    Dave Helmly has posted about the update on his blog, as well: http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2008/04/xdcam_and_premiere_32.html#more
    New in this release:
    - This update adds compatibility with the Sony XDCAM range of cameras. This includes disc-based XDCAM and XDCAM HD cameras., and the newer SxS-based XDCAM EX cameras. Content from XDCAM cameras can be imported and edited natively without transcoding or conversion. This makes possible similar workflows to Panasonic P2, including the ability to edit content directly from XDCAM EX cameras.
    - Note: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0 does not support IMX editing or XDCAM HD50 editing at this time. Export to XDCAM is also not possible.
    - Adobe Premiere Pro now has presets for HDV 24p. Note: Adobe Premiere Pro does NOT support print to tape in 24p mode.
    - Improved handling of MPEG streams (e.g.: HDV video), along with error detection. MPEG stream errors can occur during recording due to tape dropouts, record start/stop glitches, timecode breaks, etc. Bad frames caused by these MPEG stream errors are identified during import/indexing or playback. These frames will play back as full red frames to alert the user that there is a problem in the encoded video at that location. Adobe Premiere Pro will also log error messages to the Events panel, indicating where the error(s) were encountered in the stream. Users can open the Events panel, determine the location of the MPEG stream error, navigate to that location in the clip and take corrective action, such as trimming out the video glitch or covering up the red frames with duplicated good frames copied from before or after the glitch. Note: MPEG files will need to be re-indexed to take advantage of the improvements in Adobe
    Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0. For more information, please see Working with MPEG Files.
    Notable fixes:
    - Titles/Footage no longer show up as offline when reloading saved projects.
    - Rendered preview files no longer missing when reloading saved projects.
    - Certain filters and/or transitions are now applied correctly when reloading saved projects, until the timeline is forcibly refreshed.
    - When exporting via the Adobe Media Encoder, there is no longer a long delay before the progress dialog shows and rendering resums (Mac OS 10.5.x only).
    - 24p HDV clips shot on a Canon XH A1 no longer come in incorrectly as 30 fps clips.
    - Creating an offline clip in the project window then attempting to link it to media on disk no longer results in the application crashing.
    - QT PAL movies rendered out of Adobe After Effects® software are no longer incorrectly identified as requiring rendering in a Adobe Premiere Pro PAL project.
    - DV Clips of certain specific durations are no longer incorrectly identified on the timeline as requiring rendering.
    - For P2 DVCPro clips, the right-most pixel column no longer contains video garbage.
    - Fixed a memory fragmentation problem that would occur with projects with many custom bin columns.
    - Fixed a bug where exporting to a QuickTime movie (with QT 7.4) would crash the application.
    - Selecting "display only exact name matches" when relinking clip no longer crashes on Leopard.
    - Fixed an issue where 30p and 30f HDV clips would incorrectly be identified as requiring rendering in a 29.97 progressive project.

    Harm,
    I don't use HDV, so I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but in the top post, there is mention of having to re-index the MPEG files "to take advantage of the improvements in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0." While it seems this should be an automatic process, maybe wiping out the previously-created index files (I seem to remember them being in the Media Cache folder when importing MPG files from DVD rips and such) would let the project open. Or, maybe the old trick of importing an existing project into a new one? Just a couple thoughts...
    To the other poster: surely, I don't jest. At least, not when it comes to anything in the video production industry and my operation in it. Long ago, I gave up expecting perfection from any particular piece of hardware or software, and just focused on being creative. That's why I got into this. I refuse to let any piece of equipment dictate what I can or can't do--I just find another way around. Funny how we managed to make it as a species and a civilization as long as we have, and now that computers are here to make our lives easier (*snort*), we're quick to raise our ire about everything that's wrong with them. That's why I will always marvel at things built long ago prior to the advent of all the technology we take for granted today.
    Anyway, we're all entitled to our opinions, and I've taken this thread completely off-topic. My apologies, so...

  • "Media Offline" in Premiere Pro CS3 .. but it's not offline!

    If anyone is able to advise on a technical problem in Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3), I'd be most appreciative I'm hoping someone will be around anywhere to help solve this...
    Please look at:
    http://www.thepfjstudios.com.au/images/PremiereProblem.jpg
    to understand my issue better. (Img 1440x900, approx 210kb)
    In the upper left box are the videos in the project. This issue is with all videos in the project, but for the example, I'm looking at the highlighted video, MOV03C_03.mpg. The thumbnail at the top of the list shows the video is working, I can play it fine by pressing the play button next to the thumbnail.
    The same video, MOV03C_03.mpg, is in the timeline at the current point of the cursor. The current timecode is 00:00:55:22 (hh:mm:ss:ff). I don't understand why the monitor on the upper right corner is showing the video (and all videos in the project) as "media offline", when they're all in the project and able to be played, therefore *not* offline.
    Is there some way I can fix this? It's for a university project that I'm needing to deliver to our customer this week...

    The guy that said "if an Asset appears as Off-line, it is because the Asset IS Off-line" obviously hasn't seen this problem before.
    You are absolutely correct here. Most users have not seen this problem before. In my search of these fora, I found only this, and one other thread where this behavior was reported. In all others, the problem came about because of things like Paths changing (external drive letter changes were the most common). There were cases where the Path was changed by Renaming, Moving and Deletion, but only this, and one other instance, where something else intruded.
    Now, it appears that you also encountered the issue, so that runs the count up to three. There are possibly others, who have never posted here, but we cannot count them, unless one searches every possible forum on the Internet.
    It is good that you have found a way to get around the issue, and thank you for posting that.
    I do, however, have a little problem with your attitude. A forum respondent can only comment of problems that they have had, observed from others, or have read about. If few users have encountered this issue, it might seem that it is related to but a few Projects, systems, or users' actions. If it were a universal Bug, it would seem most logical, that many others would have encountered it, and reported it.
    You are correct. I have not encountered this problem, and it appears that most other users are in the same exact position. Maybe we do something differently, or our systems and Projects are different enough, that we have just been spared. I am not sure that is a bad thing.
    Again, thanks for posting your keystrokes to handle the problem, when it arises. I hope that will help others, when they show up.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
