H264 MP4 rendered in Premiere CC isn't playable on iPad1

For some reason iPad1s cannot play videos that I render in Premiere CC as H264 MP4 (960x540 at 29.97fps). I've tried both Main and Baseline profiles. I had read somewhere that iPad1s can only play baseline H264.... but it seems not even them.
What other settings can I change that would enable playablility on iPad1s?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are Apple's specs for the iPad1:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Make sure both your video and audio meet those specs.
Cheers,
Jeff

Data below black level 0 in h264 mp4 files.

I'm a little confused about black and white levels in video.
I have two questions. If you bare with me for a second I can demonstrate what I mean.
I created gradient with values from 0,0,0 to 255,255,255 in Photoshop and saved it as sRGB jpg file.
I imported the file to Premiere and added Fast Color Corrector to the file and changed black input level from 0,0 to 16,0
So now everything below value 16 is cutted to black.
I exported the edited gradient as h264 mp4 videofile.
Now things got interesting.
I imported the edited videofile back to Premiere, added Fast Color Corrector to videofile and changed black output level from 0,0 to 16,0
The information that I thought was lost is there!
I tried to to the same thing for the same video file with Photoshop and I'm not able to get the lost information back.
Why is there information below 0? And how am I able to rescue it with Premiere, but not with Photoshop?
Does this have something to do with YCbCr black and white levels that are 16-235?
This whole question came up when I calibrated my Samsung lcd-tv. I used AVS HD 709 mp4-calibration videos.
There are black level calibration videofile. Which is exactly like my gradient video file where there are black values below 0.
If you lift your tv's brightness below certain levels you are able to see the black values that are below 0.
I'm able to see these "blacker than black" values with tv's own videoplayer and with xbox videoplayer.
However, if I try to see these values with my macbook pro which is connected to tv I can't get them visible.
It doesn't matter if I play the video with quicktime, vlc or premiere.
So the second question is why the macbook pro does not send any "below black" information to tv?
PS. I'm using latest premiere CC.
Thank you in advance!
In this image you can see from Premiere Scopes what is happening.

Does this have something to do with YCbCr black and white levels that are 16-235?
No and yes.
When you manipulate levels values within 0-255 (0.0-1.0) range, you don't clip existing data, you simply compress/decompress contrast, while information is still there (to some extent). By the way, data outside 16-235 range, but inside 0-255 are not super-blacks or super-whites (underdarks or ovebrights), they are just broadcast safe values. Super-blacks or underdarks are values below 0.0, while super-whites or overbrights are values above 1.0. The nature of YCbCr does allow to store some real super-blacks and super-whites even while encoding to 8-bit codec.
Why only some codecs are able to preserve this "illegal" values?
MOV container is... um-m-m... quirky. For example, exactly the same data encoded to e.g. mp4 and MOV with exactly the same codec (e.g. H.264), may be decoded/interpretted differently. So as to have some fun, create a copy of an mp4 clip, which contains some super-whites, rename file extension of one copy to MOV, import both mp4 and fake MOV footages into After Effects, set your project to 32-bit, sRGB or Rec.709 and linearise working space in order to get precise result while blending layers. Then drop both clips into the same composition and set blending mode to Difference. Enjoy!
Why I'm only able to access these values inside Premiere and not with Photoshop. Is Photoshop unable to access these illegal below 0 values?
Try setting Photoshop to 32-bit first. If that doesn't help, then yes, Photoshop clips values outside 0-255 (0.0-1.0) range on importing. Similarly you won't be able to get super-whites or super-blacks back in PrPro with 8-bit effects.
When i export with codecs that can preserve superblacks should I still get rid of them with videolimiter. Do they cause any problems in youtube or broadcast environments?
No. Moreover, you should take care of broadcast legal range in case of delivering to a broadcaster only, YouTube 'broadcasts' on the web and targets regular computer monitors, which operate on sRGB 0-255 range.
why the macbook pro does not send any "below black" information to tv?
That has probably something to do with Apple colour management workflow. Since I'm not on a Mac, I can't comment this on

Apple TV - h264 MP4 AAC.

I recently purchased an Apple TV and am now taking the opportunity to convert all my videos to mp4, just so I can have a universal format across the board.
I have been using ffmpegX to convert them. For video I pick the mp4 codec (the H264 [.MP4] (mencoder) one). I set the video size to be the same as the source (and this also dictates which frame rate is chosen) - just click on best which normally uses something very close to the source frame rate. (There's probably not a lot of point in changing the frame rate and aspect ratios, since the information isn't there to begin with, so it's not going to look any better (ie: for most files are going from xvid to h264). I suppose that also depends on the aspect ratio and whatever TV you have, but whatever...). For the audio codec I use AAC (MOV/MP4/3GP) at 192kbit/s.
At the end of the day I want all my videos to be the same frame rate and aspect ratio, but in h264 video format and aac video format.
It's all working fine. The thing is, it's going to take about 2 months I reckon, to do all my videos on my mac; so I'd like to speed the process up a bit by using my Gentoo box.
Can someone give me a command I can use which will do all the above options? I've spent hours looking at threads citing ffmpeg, transcode, mediafork and handbrake as solutions for iPod and DVD conversion... but no one seems to have a good answer for high quality mp4 h264/aac encoding which can be used for the Apple TV (and will of course also look good on the computer).
Obviously, by the command above, I'm using mencoder to do this, and am getting good results, so lets stick with that shall we?
MacBook Pro 15.4" - Intel Core Duo 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1GB RAM

I can't give you any help using mencoder, I don't use the application. However it is an application with a basket full of options, so I have to assume you are reasonably familiar with encoding digital video. However I noted couple of things in your post that I thought I'd mention.
For the audio codec I use AAC (MOV/MP4/3GP) at 192kbit/s.
I'm assuming you mean audio only files and not the audio track of a video since 192 kbps is to high a bitrate for video files and won't play on the tv.
At the end of the day I want all my videos to be the same frame rate.
This isn't a good idea. I'm not sure where you are from, is that Townsville in Oz, if so your likely to have a mix of 25 and 30 fps videos and maybe some 24 fps ones, despite mencoder apparently having good filters for changing framerate, I doubt the change will be unnoticeable.
Mencoder seems to have a number of filters which if used properly will help produce better quality video, even so bitrate and the number of passes the encoding process takes should still be your major settings when it comes to quality.

Big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 and Program Monitor

I get a big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 on Vimeo/Youtube and Quicktime X and Program Monitor.
There are quite a few posts on Quicktime gamma issues, but there seem to be no solutions and the other editors I know don't seem to have this problem.
I know there will be a bit of a shift but this is MASSIVE. At the moment I add a whole extra adjustment layer to all my clips to get it approximately right, but ofcourse this does not solve the issue nor does it give proper results.
Please do not reply with the "You need a real reference monitor via SDI etc etc ..."
By my logic on the same screen the program monitor should resemble what is going to be the final result in a relevant player like Quicktime X which all normal apple consumers use to watch their films. I know VLC and Mpeg streamclip gives different results, but mostly when playing Quicktime/h264 files Quicktime will play it thus average users ( the people I'd like to downwload/buy my films )will watch it in Quicktime.
Furthermore, Quicktime X's gamma/color looks very similar to the image I get on Youtube or Vimeo - which is where all my current work is going. I'm not outputting to boradcast or DVD etc.
Strangely enough the MPEG 2 stuff I've done for DVD matches the Youtube output with the Program monitor.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a Dell 2711 wide Gamut Display which is calibrated with an SPyder 3 Elite using its full colour gamut ( close to 90% of Adobe RGB - thus bigger than sRGB or Rec709) Could Premiere be ignoring the calibration in the Program monitor and making the image values 16-235 and then Quicktime uses all values 0-255? If so, how can I fix this?
Any help will be much appreciated!

I know this has been a while so hopefully you found some help by now, but maybe this will help anyone stumbling across this.
What people seem to be missing in what you are asking is... this is the same file, on the same monitor, but with a different appearance in different software. It is not a question of whether the overall monitoring is GOOD, and it is not a matter of hardware settings (as that would most likely propogate across all software) it is that it is not CONSISTENT side by side on the very same monitor.
I had very similar issues that really seemed to get worse when we got new monitors, which is what lead me to chime in here. The monitors were also wide gamut displays.
The problem is likely this...
1. The difference being shown are the difference between software that properly color manages (i.e. Premier or After Effects) and software that does not (i.e. Quicktime or some web browsers)
2. The reason it is so severe is that the wide gamut monitors are able to show many more colors and thus the difference between the managed and unmanaged software is much more exagerrated than on regular gamut monitors.
I found this great link that helped calm my nerves and helped me get handle on much of what is going on.
http://www.artstorm.net/journal/2009/07/color-management-wide-gamut-dell-2408/
Now that is not to say that the 0-255/16-235 issue is not also involved here. It is definitely possible that a specific codec or compressor is part of the problem, but it sounds like it starts with the color management issue first.
I hope this helps.

Rendering in Premiere CS5 vs Adobe Media Encoder? Which is better?

Exactly what the question says. Is there a difference between rendering in Premiere CS5 to rendering in Adobe Media Encoder? Leave your thoughs. Thanks!

Then I have made a mistake. I thought that the AV Export function under File>Export had been fully moved to AME. Obviously, I am incorrect.
No, you're correct: there is not Export > Movie command any longer, and hasn't been since CS3. With CS4, that particular functionality was eliminated, as all exports went through AME, and were logged in the AME queue.
Things have changed yet again with CS5. There is still no Export > Movie as there was in CS3 and earlier; everything still must be encoded through AME. However, in CS5, when you initiate the export, you have two options: Export and Queue. The latter option does what CS4 exports did: they go into the AME queue for sequential export. The former option basically launches a "headless" version of AME and exports as a one-off. The export is still being performed by AME; it's just that you don't have the virtue of it working in the background as it does with the Queue button. I've also encountered some weirdness with Export when it comes to cropping and using hardware MPE, but that's a different story. I haven't done any hard-and-fast tests of which is faster--Export or Queue--but I'd take Harm at his word that Queue is the faster option.

MP4 in Adobe Premiere Element

When I import a mp4 file in adobe Premier element, the sound disappears.
The file has been converted from VRO to MP4 with VLC.

Hi, A.T.Romano,
I tried changing the extension name from .ROV to .mpg and it works. It’s marvelous. Thank you very much for your expertise…
The videos relates to 30 years of my children. Now I’m in a position to make a film with APE.
Thank you again.

Thanks for the update.
If you are dealing with files with a ROV file extension instead of the VRO file extension, then I need to reconsider my reply which was specific
for VRO.
I am heading online to see what I can find out about ROV and the Sony DVD Player/Video Cassette Recorder SLV-D 990P.
To be continued...

Add On...curious that you did not find the cfa and pek set for your audio in the Media Cache Files Folder. Typically all video and audio are
conformed...video see mcdb and audio see cfa/pek.

Adobe Media Encoder creates corrupt H264 mp4 file

I am using Premeire Pro CS5 and exporting an H264 mp4 file from a 720x480 timeline. For one of the files I am exporting, AME completes the export, i.e. I see a green check mark. But the file is corrupt. When I try to open the file with Quicktime, I get the following error:
"The operation couldn't be completed - (OSStatus Error - 12848)"
The strange thing is that other timelines exported without any problem. And this particular timeline I could export using different (but very similar) export settings. The only thing I'm changing is the video bitrate. I'm actually creating three different videos for adaptive bitrate streaming, 300k, 550k, and 800k, all from the same video. The 300k version is the only one that won't work. But again, what is strange is that other timelines export out fine using the same exact 300k export settings. It's just this one timeline that won't export without getting the mentioned error.

I having the same issue.
Any insight on a solution?

GPU and Open GL rendering in Premiere CS4

This is my workstation: A 64 Bit PC with Intel Quad Core i7 Extreme Edition - 3.2 Ghz; ASUS P6T Deluxe/OC Palm Motherboard; 2 Seagate Cheetah HD -147 Go SAS 15Krpm - Raid 0; PNY Quadro CX NVIDIA PCIE 1.5 Go; 24 GB of Ram - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1333 MHZ; Blu-ray 8X BD/DVDRW 16X SATA LS; Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit; Adobe Production Premium CS4.
Lately, I've had some problems with rendering in Premiere. It seemed very slow and sluggish and I don't know why.
Now, this might sound obvious to a lot of people but. my question is: How do I optimize and use the GPU and Open GL in the best and most efficient way in PREMIERE PRO CS4 and After Effects CS4? What is the best configuration?
Thanks for any help possible. DMVNPRO

Thanks a lot for your feedback, guys. Appreciate.
I omitted to mention that I actually have an extra 1 TB hard drive for the clips.
I've been using my system for about 2 years with 12 Gigs of RAM and everything was going rather well.
In May of 2011, I upgraded to 24 Gigs because I wanted to upgrade to CS5.5.
I'm still running with CS4 but I forgot to mention that I use the Raid 0 hard drives specifically
to use the Adobe software. All of my footage, music, graphics and photographs are on the 1 TB HD.
Also, I only work on one project at a time.
When I'm finished, I transfer everything on an external HD.
And I do defrag frequently and regularly. Not with the Windows defragger.
It sucks. I use Defraggler, a free program that's very efficient.
I had my workstation built from the ground up from reading about
a similar configuration in Videomaker. And the tests were very impressive.
I only have problems with Premiere. Premiere came with the nVidia Quadro CX
graphic card as part of a bundle. So I upgraded from there to the Adobe Production Premium Suite CS4.
I remember that I had to reinstall Premiere once. Sometimes it just stops working and
literally disappears. Frequently, the rendering is so slow, it's frustrating.
I never had an issue with After Effects, which I use a lot. I also use Photoshop frequently. No problem there.
Could it be that Premiere in some way has been corrupted?
Again, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks again. Daniel Martel

H264 mp4 gamma fine in sizes under 720x576, blown out any size above

Hi, I've been banging my head against a wall til the early hours of the morning trying to work out why the encoding of my H264 mp4 is behaving how it is. Can anyone shed any light on whether this is normal behaviour, or a bug?
Basically, I've been trying to render to a 1280x720 mp4 H264 file from an After Effects Quicktime (100 animation) mov, I've tried various presets and was getting a colour blowout, colours becoming far brighter and more neon. I tried all 3 profiles, and all levels. After many many trial and error I have worked out that a file that is of the dimensions 720x576 or below will have a very close result to the source file, anything above that will have inaccurate blown out colours.
Why would physical dimensions alter colour values? Is this a bug?
Near deadline on a job, doing my head in, any help would be appreciated
Chris

The only thing that comes to mind is that 720 x 576 is SD, which uses the REC. 601 color space, and 1280 x 720 is HD, which uses the REC. 709 colors. Maybe the original is incorrectly using the 601 space and it's not getting properly 'converted' to the newer and broader 709 colors.

H264 MP4 PAL to NTSC DVD

Im having issues convertin an H264 mp4 PAL file to an NTSC DVD. Im getting blocking and stuttering on playback after I use Toast to burn the DVD. Ive tried to convert the files in mpeg stream clip and in QT but to no avail. Getting errors with both. This is an odd scenario in my book, so I figured I would put it out there to see if anyone has had any luck. Thanks All.

Have you tried JES Deinterlacer? Much better for transcoding.
Also, it might be advantageous to convert first into an editable video (anything with low compression) before transcoding. The way you do it, you are asking for two major steps simultaneaously.
Also, do the encoding to MPEG2 (for the DVD) as a separate last step (in Compressor)

Premiere is making corrupted H264 Mp4 files, why?

I am exporting a series of [nested] sequences as H264 NTSC Mp4s.
If I export one sequence then it works fine and I can play it in Quicktime etc.
If I export this nested sequence of five timelines, then it produces a corrupted file that no program can use. It complains that the file is unsupported or corrupt.
I have noticed at the end , Premiere is stuck on 99.9% progress for 18 minutes. So I don't think it's finishing the file off properly.
Any ideas?

Mr Bansaw, did you sort out your MP4 export problem? I have a single non-nested 10 minute sequence. Using a slightly modified AME HDTV 1080p 25 HQ preset to export to H.264 mp4 as follows:
PAL, 1920x1080, 25fps, progressive, VBR, 1 pass, Target 10Mbps, Max 25Mbps, AAC 160kbps, 48kHz. (I dropped the target bitrate from 35Mbps in the preset thinking that might be the problem, but it didn't make a difference).
The export seems to go fine ie without errors, but playing back the exported mp4 gives the occasional but noticeable stutter using VLC or WMP (ugh).
I will be projecting the video on a large screen so need the best quality.
I am using PPro 5.0.3 on an Intel i7 920, 12GB RAM, 4 x 1TB 7200 HDD, ATI Radeo 4870 1GB, Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
Any suggestions will be welcome.

Jerky playback of rendered mp4 files in Premiere Elements 10

I am editing GoPro Hero 3+ MP4 files in PE10 and exporting to AVCHD MP4 (H264 1920x1080p 30) but the resulting file does not play smoothly, almost like it is missing or skipping a frame at regular intervals. When rendered to M2T (H264 1920x1080i 30) or other AVCHD formats the playback is smooth. Why can't I export to the same format as the MP4 source files? FYI, I'm using PE10 on a Win 7, 64 PC with i7 and 16gb ram, and program files on a SSD separate from the HDD containing video files.

Thanks for your reply.
Attached is a screen shot of the general preferences.
When I imported the first GoPro MP4 file into the time line, PE10 gave me a message that the project settings did not match the source file, and asked me if I wanted it to change the settings, which I let it do.

Improting H264 MP4 format video

Hello.
I have been trying to import videos that I recorded of my gameplay with AverMedia Live Gamer HD capture card.4
I have used H264 format and m.mp4 file extension. In older version of CC Premiere Pro videos did work just fine now in 2014 version I just get green screen in videos and I have no idea why.
Interesting is that I tried to transcode one video with media encoder to mp4 format and that did work out.m
So I am wondering that what is going on here.
If you do need any more details please ask and I provide. I just can't figure what would be useful at this point.

Now strange thing is that when I change video format to TS (H.264+AAC) videos are working with latest premiere pro... what is causing that ?
Also if I use Premiere pro CC (OLD ONE) with that .mp4 files work as well.
Sorry for wall of text but I thought to paste all data I get from those spots.

Rendering from Premiere Pro Dynamic Link vs After Effects = fast vs slow?

So I'm doing graphics for a show using a fake 3D look in Adobe After Effects CC 2014.1. In segment 1 there are about 30 fonts that display for about 3-4 seconds each. Technically it's just a bunch of 2D layers of text, not a real tricky or intensive thing.
In my Premiere timeline, things render pretty quickly in the sequence. The show is composed of RED R3D 6K files, AJA KiPro quicktime files and some AVCHD stuff. Sequence timeline is 1080i29.97 for broadcast delivery. The sequence is rendering out to ProRes422 HQ. With no graphics, even the RED 6K files render out snappy. So I've brought these new graphics in as a Dynamic Link file. When I try to render out the graphics things get SUPER slow. Inordinately so. I don't get it. I thought the new "Render and Replace" would speed things up (great feature) however that seems to make things just as slow. So now I'm rendering out of After Effects the old fashioned way (each font is a 10 second file or so) with an alpha channel. I chose the 8-bit Cineform codec w/ alpha channel. Things rendered out, as expected, very quickly. A few minutes and all 42 fonts I built were done.
So what I don't get is why render and replace is so much slower than manually rendering straight out from After Effects CC 2014.1. Based on the time stamps from a "render and replace" process I did overnight - it took about 6 hours to render out a handful of graphics. I rendered out twice the amount straight from After Effects CC 2014.1 this morning in like 5-10 minutes. Isn't render & replace basically just rendering stuff out straight from After Effects (or AME) in the background and then just popping it in your timeline? If that's what is supposed to be happening, I don't understand the discrepancy in time. I'll bring the rendered out files into Premiere and see how quickly that video renders over the original video.
I just wanted to throw this out there to see if I'm missing some obvious thing or if this is as expected behavior.

What, exact, version of CC 2014 do you have?
How long have you used AE?
When did this problem start?
Have you tried rebooting your machine?

Quick time won't play mp4 rendered in After Effects.

Since I upgrade to Mavericks i've been unable to play mp4 videos rendered using After Effects cs5. After rendering i get a file icon with the quicktime logo instead if the usual thumbnail with the play button; first indication that the clip might not play. Then when i try to play it i get the error message: "The document “MVI_7772.mp4” could not be opened. This media may be damaged." What do i do?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks3e

I would not expect CS5 apps to be very compatible with Mavericks. You could try to render the file out in After Effects as a Quicktime MOV file using H264 and see if that works for you. If it does you can change the extension from mov to mp4.

H264 MP4 rendered in Premiere CC isn't playable on iPad1
