Grading over a transition imported from Premiere Pro

Anyone out there have a simple, fast and relaible way to deal with grading over a cross dissolve imported from Premiere Pro?
How do you (can you) dissolve from one grading layer to another over the transiton clip? I have been having no luck at all with the dissolve feature in SpeedGrade.
If anyone from Adobe is out there listing, SpeedGrade needs a drag and drop cross dissolve effect / tool like Premiere.
Working on longer pieces with multiple cross dissolves - SpeedGrade almost becomes useless!
When can we expect a proper upgrade to SpeedGrade that will bring it in line with Premiere and After Effects?
Cheers.

Unless you turned on proofing, that would have no effect whatsoever.
It sounds like the root problem is that color managed applications are having problems displaying the color you expect - which means that you expect something unrealistic, or that your display profile doesn't match your actual display.

Encore CS6 crashes when importing from Premiere Pro CS6

When sending a project to Encore as a Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro, Encore hangs then a message pops up that it has stopped responding then closes. How do we get this to work?
The computer has an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 Pro x64 with Service Pack 1. Adobe CS6 Master Collection is installed. The computer is joined to a Windows Server 2012 domain and the user of the machine has local administrator rights.
The Adobe suite has been uninstalled and re-installed multiple times without success. Sometimes after re-installing, sending a Dynamic Link to Encore will import as expected once, but then after restarting the computer, the problem will occur again. This has been tried with and without installing any Adobe updates. The system has also been wiped and had Windows and all software clean installed on it again which has not resolved the problem.

Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

Hi,
I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
Thanks.

Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

Importing from premiere pro cs5 to after effects cs5

hi, can anyone help me with this problem?
im editing some stuff in premiere pro cs5 and when i import it into after effects cs5 for colour correction and other effects all the transitions that i had from premiere will disappear. if someone can guide me step by step to this process it will be very helpful
Thanks,
Randolph Azzopardi

As Mylenium suggests, there are many ways to move information between Premiere Pro and After Effects.They are all outlined on this page: "Working with After Effects and Premiere Pro"
You didn't specify, but I'll assume as he did that you are exporting a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. That works by converting things from native After Effects to their equivalents in Premiere Pro; sometimes there isn't a good equivalent, so the conversion isn't perfect. The same conversion is done as is done for copying and pasting between After Effects and Premiere Pro. There's a set of tables that describe the conversions here.
The way to get perfect fidelity is to either use Dynamic Link (as Mylenium suggested) or render and export a movie from After Effects and import that into Premiere Pro.

How to import effect plugins from Premiere Pro CC to Premiere Pro CC 2014

Many of the Premiere Pro CC plugins I've been using since subscribing have disappeared from the effects panel in Premiere Pro CC 2014. For example, under Video Transitions/3D Motion, the only two listed are Cube Spin and Flip Over. None of the others are listed. I tried importing the Factory Presets.prfpset file from CC into CC 2014, but that didn't do anything. How can I import the effect plugins into CC 2014? Thanks.

You can render the title out of Premiere Pro as a movie and bring it into After Effects as a video file. Titles aren't automatically converted when you copy and paste from Premiere Pro to After Effects or use Dynamic Link to send something to After Effects.

Pushing and pulling from Premiere Pro CS 5

Hi,
Recently, I came across a problem and I was wondering if you could confirm this is a limitation within Production Premium CS 5 or whether I am doing something incorrectly?
If I render a sequence within Premiere Pro and push it to Encore via Adobe Dynamic Link, the rendered sequence correctly shows its rendering within Encore. However, if I render my sequence, save, and exit from Premiere Pro and then start Encore and pull the sequence from Premiere Pro via the Adobe Dynamic Link, I don't necessarily keep the rendering. I know that this has happened when using a 64-bit plugin from a third-party. The sequence shows with a watermark as if it had never been registered. The problem further manifests itself by, when I restart Premiere Pro, while the rendering looks intact, if I click on the third-party plugin as if to modify it, it won't let me make changes until I delete the already rendered sequence. It seems like somehow, the sequence has become corrupted.
Any thoughts - is this a known problem? Has this been addressed with CS 5.5? Are there plans for this to be addressed? Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Steve

The pros are faster encodes with superior quality. I use the free HC Encoder for MPEGs. You'll also need Avisynth to use it. The process is somewhat cumbersome, but if you have the time and want the quality, it's noticeably better, in my opinion.
To add to this, I've been producing commercial blu-rays using the free x264 encoder. The quality is unmatched by any commercial encoder, however there are some features absent that some commercial producers need (such as the ability to directly place I-frames, re-encode a section of GOPs with different bitrate targets, etc. which commercial encoders like CineVision can provide). If you don't have any need for those, x264 is the way to go. As quality is more important to me than bitrate, I use the single-pass constant ratefactor "--crf" mode with something better than the default, like 18 or 16, and it has never let me down.
Just be prepared to wait a while if you have a longform project. x264 is very fast, taking advantage of multi-core machines, but it cannot utilize the GPU/CUDA for encoding. A 3.5 hour 720p60 project (over 750,000 individual frames) at maximum quality takes a full 24 hours to encode on a 3.2GHz core i7, with all hardware threads at 100% (so make sure your machine is stable if it is overclocked!).

Media Encoder not starting from Premiere Pro

I'm having issues Exporting from Premiere Pro - I'd rather queue it through Media Encoder so I can move onto the next edit, but when I select Queue and Media Encoder opens, it doesn't do anything - simply sits there with "Not Currently Encoding" as opposed to importing the data to export.
Help?
Adobe Media Encoder, 6.0.2.81
Also installed other CC products Ps, Pr, Id, Lr, Ai, etc
I have run Adobe Updater but no updates available for Me.
Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
I am using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription
Project is 6 minute film shot on Sony FS700 (AVCHD) and exports from Premiere Pro
No error message, just no action from the Application
Have not seen the problem before - most of my work is vi Canon 5D MK III, so maybe it's a Sony Codec issue? Though I have exported footage from this camera before though...
Apple MacBook Pro, 17",
I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro
Cheers

Finally got fed up and rang Adobe (if all else fails...)
Video Support Team Member opened my Library folder (Go\Go to folder...\~/Library/) then went into \Preferences\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\ and changed the folder called 6.0 to 6.0old (i.e. rename it to anything else), then hit Queue in Premiere Pro and the project successfully opened in Media Encoder and was able to start encoding.
Hopefully that helps someone else suffering the same issue!

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.

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps freezing when loading projects from Premiere Pro CC

Hi everyone,
I'm reporting this issue in case someone else would have the same problem.
I just downloaded the 2014 version of Premiere Pro CC, and when I'm loading a project from Premiere Pro CC into CC2014 I have the software freezing and being unable to even play the loaded sequences. It seems that dynamic link is having trouble linking the CC and the CC2014 version of Premiere Pro.
Until now the only solution I found was to kill the process of the software and start it again, after 8 times I got my sequence loaded alright, then sometimes it is freezing again, killing process, starting software again, and so on. Does anyone has the same problem ?
I'm running a Windows 7 Ultimate PC with 12Go RAM dedicated only to Premiere Pro.
Cheers,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
I feel your pain, you are not alone. Here are my machine specs and my very frustrating situation, if anyone has any idea as to how I should move forward, I would really appreciate the input/advice...
iMac - 27" Late 2013
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
I'm having similar issues that began when I installed Premiere Pro CC 2014, and actually got worse with the latest update/release. The majority of my projects worked fine at first, but the update last week ended that quickly. I did what I know I never should do and updated Adobe CC while completing a project on a deadline. I thought some of the fixes would help me complete the project sooner. Needless to say, the deadline has passed, my client is pissed enough to not pay me or hire me again and I'm stuck with an almost-there version that I can't export correctly because of this software. This is my problem, not Adobe's, but I didn't expect such a detrimental update to halt my operation.
After doing some research, I found that some plugins could be the cause of some specific editing issues, mainly due to incorrect or inaccessible folders - who knows if its Dynamic Link, CC apps or 2014 apps. I concluded that my issue at the time was a plugin permissions issue on the Adobe "Preference" Folder, so I reset the permissions on the folder so that CC and 2014 apps would be able to access its contents without any problems. This was the wrong decision. For some reason, resetting this folders permissions also effected the main HDD, it's Kernel Text files and their respective permission. I could not boot my machine, just got the Apple and spinning wheel until I had to power down. I ended up on the phone with 3 different AppleCare reps who helped me at least be able to turn the machine back on and access my desktop/files, apps, etc. Outside of this, no one could offer anything other than "Uninstall the problematic application, reboot, reinstall, etc..." or "Backup your files and reimage the HDD." When I mentioned the recent CUDA driver update for my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB now running CUDA Driver Version: 6.0.51), it was like they had never heard of graphics cards being used in their machines.
Resetting permissions on Adobe Preference Folder...
This is what I read would get the CC and 2014 apps communicating correctly so that they could utilize my plugins. There is a problem, I believe, in that their are TOO MANY locations where Adobe folders/components live. There are 3 "Preferences" folders that I found, and I don't know which effects what process, but the folder I changed permissions on clearly effects the operation of all of the CC & 2014 apps I had installed, as well as my HDD. Kernel Extensions and the entire system.
Based on my perceived effects of the Preference folder, I needed to uninstall everything, run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool, download/install just the 2014 releases and see if that resolved the issue. I'm not downloading CC apps, the 2014 releases should run fine on their own. I've yet to confirm this with Adobe, as what I've read has simply said to install the new release next to the CC apps, rather than on top of, as traditional update releases work. Anyway, one by one, I reinstalled the 14 apps that I use on a regular basis on a "clean" machine with no trace of previous Adobe apps.
After reinstalling (without any plugins), I was at least able to open Premiere Pro from the Application folder and work for a few minutes before both Program and Source monitors froze and had to force quit the app. If I try to open the Project File by double clicking it in the Finder, SpeedGrade opens up instead of Premiere Pro - never seen that before. I also had to force quit to end that process and reopen in Premiere instead of SpeedGrade.
So back to Premiere, if I do have success in opening a project in the right application, Premiere freezes - if not immediately, eventually it will just stop responding. The video clips, sequence segments and UI freeze, but the audio will keep playing until I force quit. When I force quit, Premiere Pro doesn't close entirely. The UI closes, but the process still runs. I've even force quit from Finder, force quit again from the Dock, Shut Down the machine, restarted and Premiere Pro will still be open, but "Not Responding", so I force quit again and open the project. Just now, I opened PP, made minor edits to a sequence, sent it to Media Encoder, exported, but the video I tested exported without audio. I force quite PP twice just before that and it is still running now, but again, it is "not responding".
Ultimately, none of this works, nor have my attempts at resolving these many issues. One thing I know is that there is something VERY WRONG with either the latest release/update to 2014 apps, the Preference folder or the permissions that were changed.
As I mentioned previously, and what I think is a major oversight by someone at Adobe, is that for some reason the permission changes to ONE Adobe folder also effected my entire system and Macintosh HD. Some Kernel Extension files went missing, which is never good and should not happen when resetting folder permissions, so I believe my issues are far greater than the faulty Adobe CC 2014 applications, and is the cause of many of my problems right now. If I can't get things sorted soon, I'm going to reimage my HDD and start from scratch. As much as I would like to avoid this, I really have no choice if I want to get back to work and not lose clients over inexplicable technology issues.
If I find a solution, I will repost, but I think Adobe has to make some serious fixes on this release before anything is resolved entirely. I pay them monthly and rely on their software and platform to work without issue, which is foolish - I know, but I've used CC since it was introduced and it has work well enough until now.
Is there anyone at Adobe that can offer some advice??

Exporting from Premiere Pro CC 2014

Hello there,
Every time that I am willing to export my project my Premiere Pro CC 2014 stop responding all together. I tried the short cut (Commend+M) or going through the Manu bar. the result is the same, Premiere Pro CC 2014 just freezes and does not respond to anything till I force quit it and restart it allover again. I tried exporting from Premiere Pro it self, without using Media Encoder, but the problem remains the same.
I am using the new Mac Pro. I heard Adobe Premiere Pro is experiencing problems with the New Mac Pro. Is that true? Or is there other issue?
Thank you and looking forward to hear back,
Maruf

Thank you very much and appreciate your help enormously.
Since preference files get touched by the application frequently, there is always the possibility of their corruption. When this happens, you start to see what we call "unexpected behaviors" from Premiere Pro. This problem happens infrequently, but it is a good first troubleshooting step to try on your own. This is the case with most every non-linear editing application I have used over the years (Final Cut Pro, Avid, Media 100, etc.).

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,
Hunt

No sound from Premiere Pro

I was reviewing a video in the source tab when i realized that I couldn't hear any of the sound from Premiere Pro.
I can see the sound db raising in the sound value bar but I cannot hear anything from Premiere Pro.
I can hear everything outside of Premiere but nothing inside of it.

A little more information:
I'm listening on my headphones when the sound didn't work.
I therefore tried to turn them off and listen over the computers and it worked over the computers speakers.
But it still doesn't work on my headphones. I can hear every other sound than the sound from Premiere on my headphones.
While I hear a song from for example Spotify while I edit in Premiere then I still can't hear anything from Premiere on my headphone(because it is on my computers speakers) but i can still hear everything from Spotify.

Help with export/import in premiere pro

Hi Everyone
I have a question about import and export in Premiere Pro CS5.
I have some 1920*1080 .mov-files shot with canon eos 500d.
What is the best import setting for premiere pro cs5?
What is the best export setting from premiere pro (to adobe encore) to dvd?
The film is going to be projected on to a big screen. How do I get the best quality for this?
I would be very very thankful for your help!
Tami

check your paused and/or playback resolution settings...
I've found TIFF to be the cleanest output from PPT for inclusion in video, and I've also found that the scale to frame size command usually works pretty well within Premiere. However, Photoshop's scaler uses much better algorithms and will give you a much better result. You can do a batch process on all your files and automatically create smaller versions of them if you'd like. Alternatively, you can open PPT and customize the size of your PPT slide, which should scale everything to fit your new size. Then you'll have native 720x480 TIFFs on export from PPT.
