Having An Issue exporting out an AAF from Premiere 8.1.0

So I'm working on a Documentary Feature Film and we're using Premiere  . We are about 4 weeks away from Lock and i now have a full sequence in which i can test the AAF process, especially as this was one of the bugs which was supposed to be 'fixed' on this version. When exporting out the AAF it takes absolutley  ages. I have split the Tracks up so i'm only doing 1 Track at a time, with 75 frame handles. The Film at the moment is about 2 hours and i don't think we'll be losing too much off it.
When i tried exporting out it went very slowly on the same clip. I then rendered and replaced the whole track so everything was AIF like audition converts it to anyway and repeated the process. It did the same thing so i though i'd let it go over night to see if it made it through the night. It had got further but was now having the same issue with another clip. So over 7 hours and still no AAF made.
The only way i have got it out at a reasonable rate is to send to Audition and export as an OMFI but not embedded as the file size was too large. I have a suspicion that the AIF format  perhaps is causing the same issue with the AAF, although AAF shouldn't be as restricted as an OMFI. I have only ever used AAF's with Media Composer ( MXF's) and have worked on 90 minute shows and managed to send out all the tracks ( around 12) as an embedded AAF.
Is this a known bug, i looked across the forums but couldn't find anything on search. I would expect that Premiere could deal with this seeing as it has handled other Features.

I think i have found the reason for this and a workaround for it. However it would be good to be fixed in the next update !
So what i think it was was that some of the recorded sound came as a wav which was 5 mono tracks. When normally sending straight out as an OMFI or to Audition it was seeing these as a full 5 tracks each time therefore one track would be the equivalent of 5.
Workaround is as follows for future reference :
Working from a copy of the project
1)Delete all video tracks and then render and replace audio. This creates extracted audio which you then need for the next step.
2) Project manager the Sequence as it's just extracted audio it won't copy video files so should give a reasonable size folder.
3) Open the project managed project which will reference just the extracted Wav's but it also loses the tie between the combined tracks
4) Then one track at a time export out an OMFI embedded.
Weirdly the AAF was still having the same issues after this. So i believe that was a red herring. Premiere just seems to struggle embedding with an AAF. OMFI is fine though.
This is quite a roundabout way but works with no issues . Adobe please fix this, FCP and Avid work first time without all of this mucking around.

  • Question: Exporting .aaf from Premiere Pro CC v8

    I want to export an aaf from Premiere to be color corrected in Davinci Resolve. My export fails because some of the clips in my timeline have effects (horizontal flip, gaussian blur, volume). I get a pop-up saying "Translation Issue". What am I doing wrong?

    I mean a .aaf file. I've read that it is compatible with Davinci Resolve, and I can round trip my sequence from Premiere to Resolve using .aaf. I've tried exporting it a Final Cut Pro xml as well. Both times almost immediately the export stops and a warning pops up listing all of the issues:
    Translation issue:
      Sequence <Feature_Color> at 00:02:38:07, video track 7: Effect <Horizontal Flip> on Clip <JT_20131128_INTSmallMnt03.MOV> not translated.
    Translation issue:
      Sequence <Feature_Color> at 00:08:57:04, video track 6: Effect <Track Matte Key> on Clip <DG_06_06_2014_Radio_CU_06.MOV> not translated.
    Translation issue:
      Sequence <Feature_9> at 00:00:00:00, audio track 8: Effect <Internal Channel Volume Stereo> on Clip <ATF soundtrack_2.aif> not translated.

  • I can't export an AAF from Premiere to Avid.

    Why can I not open an AAF from Premiere CC 2015 in Avid Media Composer 7.0.4?
    It is a simple edit in Premiere in 1080p 2997.  The AAF imports to Avid but the video is offline
    but the audio embeds in the AAF but the timecode of the audio is not matching the video.
    The audio is stereo, not 5.1 dolby.  Is there a metadata glitch somewhere?  This is a bit
    maddening.  Thanks for any help.

    Hi Dave,
    Why can I not open an AAF from Premiere CC 2015 in Avid Media Composer 7.0.4?
    There's no such thing as "Premiere CC 2015." Check the "About" splash screen and inspect the version number in the lower left corner. It should be 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2.
    Regarding your issue, my guess is that the two are incompatible as much work was done on AAF for Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2), however, I do not know how far back it will affect versions of Media Composer imports. Can you try a trial of the current version of Media Composer and see if it works?
    Thanks,

  • How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?

    How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?
    I dont see an Animated codec option

    Hi Nick
    Believe me I STARTED there.
    I wouldnt post this message if I didnt try there first.
    I do not see Animated GIF as a codec option.
    Please walk me through the step by step process of how you got this.
    Because it is not as obvious as you're making it out to be.
    Further more perhaps a certain format has to be selected for Animated GIF options to appear?
    YES I AM ON CC version too. thanks!

  • Exporting in Hd format from premiere

    Hello, I hava a really simple question about exporting in Hd format from premiere.
    Proyect:
    Flash ANIMATION (1280x720) at 12 frames, Soundboth AUDIO at 44, 1000 stero, plus lots of incidental on mp3.
    Duration: 4:00 minutes.
    I want to know what is the best way to export this kind of projects into a very small compression, I'm talking about 4mg and still be able to watch the animation at a acceptable compressed quality?

    You'll have to experiment until you get one whose quality and file size are acceptable.

  • Media Encoder CS6 Not Exporting all Audio Tracks From Premiere

    I'm working with DSLR footage, 2 Channels of .WAV audio from an exernal recorder (H4N), and a 1 channel .WAV Music track. 3 Channels total of .Wav audio.
    I can export from Premiere Pro CS6 to H.264 just fine, but if I try to send it to Media Encoder, it only track 3, which has the music.
    I can't figure out this issue, and haven't found an answer on any forums. This problem effectively makes Media Encoder useless to me, so I would prefer it to be solved, rather than find a work around.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Mark

    I'm having the same problem. But even worst.
    For the test, I take a 10 min .mov or mp4 file, simply modify the "scale", and hit the export.
    a 10 min file is taking 4 hours to render.
    This is on a:
    2012 MacBookPro i7 2.3Ghz, 16 GB 1600 DDR3, SSD disk. - Mac OSX 10.7.5
    and a:
    2011 iMac i7 3.7Ghz, 16 GB 1333 Mhz, 7200 RPM HD - Mac OSX 10.7.5
    The CPU stays at 90% idle the whole time.
    I know this is an old thread, but maybe someone could give me a hand.

  • Trasferring Audio Edits as AAF from Premiere to Nuendo and back

    Hello everybody,
    I'm a Sound Designer for video games, and also deal with cinematic sequences. I use Nuendo for audio editing / sound design, while the video editors work with Premiere. We share the same audio footage that is stored on our internal server, and we copy the footage manually (or over Perforce) on our local PCs. Basically to make sure we're always dealing with the same footage in a fixed and locked format during the entire production chain from capture to final render. This obviously makes an AAF with 'embedded' audio obsolete and in fact unwanted, as well as any other "work-in-progress" audio render from one platform to another.
    Situation 1: Premiere -> Nuendo
    In Premiere we have several Stereo audio tracks with stereo footage.
    AAF is exported from Premiere
    AAF is then imported into Nuendo
    Result:
    Stereo tracks are imported wrong, because split into mono, which naturally duplicates the amount of tracks.
    Stereo footage is now duplicated too due to duplication of track amount.
    Stereo footage is still stereo, because manually copied from server.
    Expectation:
    Stereo tracks should remain stereo without splitting or duplicating tracks.
    Situation 2: Nuendo -> Premiere
    In Nuendo there are several Stereo audio tracks with stereo footage.
    AAF is exported from Nuendo
    AAF is then imported into Premiere
    Result:
    Stereo tracks are imported as Mono tracks (this time without duplicating the track number)
    Stereo footage is not accepted, due to mismatch with track format (Mono)
    Expectation:
    Stereo tracks should remain stereo which then accept stereo footage
    It's really important for us that the audio footage doesn't change format during the production chain. So for instance splitting stereo into mono left / mono right is not a good option as we want the original footage to remain untouched from capture to final render. So we need stereo tracks to remain stereo and mono tracks to remain mono, just as the original edit.
    Using OMF instead of AAF causes the same problem, and adds more problems with the naming of the footage. So AAF is currently the best yet buggy method we have.
    In the past I have transferred AAF files from Protools into Nuendo, and it worked fine, which makes me tend to believe the solution has to be somewhere in Premiere.
    Any hints, tips and useful experiences are very welcome. Thanks a lot!
    Regards
    Christian

    This may be the kind of situation that can only be resolevd with a Feature Request.

  • How to export edited GoPro mov from Premiere with same settings & similar size?

    I feel like this should be easy but every time I try to export my edited video it's much bigger than the original, or it's smaller and bad quality.
    My business partner sent me a 720p GoPro MOV that is 33:50 long and 1.78GB. I edited out 3 minutes and want to render in the same quality.
    I've tried exporting as MOV and MP4 with various settings and it either ends up huge, like 25GB or more, or half the size and terrible quality.
    I also tried rendering "match sequence settings" and it chooses a GoPro codec with a weird file extension (MXF).
    The closest I've gotten is H.264 "Match Source - High bitrate" but that's still 2.29GB
    Thanks,
    Phil

    i would guess the gopro MOV file that was sent to you is h264. you can adjust the bitrate on export to h264 from premiere so its smaller. if you want more compression with sightly better quality you will have to export as dnxhd/prores or even uncompressed and then use a program like handbrake to transcode to x264 or x265.

  • Exporting Video w/ Sound From Premiere Doesn't Play Correctly in After Effects.

    I export a video from Premiere with sound and Import it into After Effects, however the sound seems to be sped up and glitching. The wave form is compressed and shows that the sound does not play for the actual duration of the video?

    We can't know. You have neither provided any exact export settings nor any other useful info like system info, versions, audio hardware prefs and so on.

  • How can I export a completed project from Premiere Elements?

    There are a number of formats you can export from Premiere Elements. All are available under the Share tab and the major output formats are available under the Personal Computer option.
    To export your completed video for use in another project, use the DV-AVI output option.
    To export your video for display on the internet, use the WMV or MOV output options.

    I experienced the same problem as mreingrover. The Share features of iMovie appear to be completely unimplemented.
    I had had MacKeeper installed for a short while on my previous Mac; never on my new MacBook Pro. I could not find any trace of it in Application Support, Launch Daemons, or LaunchAgents, in either my user Library or the root Library. But I figured maybe there was some trace somewhere that had been copied over from the old system, so I deleted iMovie and went to reinstall it from the App Store.
    Now the App Store wants $14.95 for an app that has never worked right, and which is (I think) supposed to be free with my new MacBook Pro Retina.

  • Issues exporting out of lightroom 4

    I've recently encounterd a problem while trying to export images out of Lightroom 4.  I keep getting an error messge "File canot be written."  This is happening whether I'm exporting a Jpeg or a raw file.   Cannot figure what has happend but it's doing it with old and new files, so it's not an issue of a corrupted file.  Anyone have any experience with this particular issue?
    Dan

    The message tends to indicate an issue with the destination drive. Have you checked there's adequate free space? Have you checked write permissions? Have you tried alternative destinations for the exports?

  • Having problem with washed out prints only from Lightroom 5

    Hi,
    I have just gone over the Lightroom 5 and printing to an Epson Pro 3800. Background:
    Fuly colour manage screen
    Use Windows 7 64 bit
    Using latest drivers
    Only problem when printing from Lightroom 5, not PS CS5 or Nikon Capture NX2
    Same result whether print via LR5 (with printer CM turned off) or via Printer CM (with LR5 turned off)
    I cannot see any obvious issues or problems, so would be great if someone could assist!
    Thanks

    Now sorted - had to reinstall the drivers. Never had this before...

  • Why is there no Batch Export of multiple clips from Premiere CS6?

    This is a no brainer.  Every other NLE has had this for at least a decade, yet PP CS6 makes you INDIVIDUALY export clips rather than sending them as one batch. What a time waste for someone looking to move to CS6 from FCP and finding it's slower.  

    Not quite enough info here...
    Great with the specs on the system, but I need ram and HDD info, along with a few details about your workflow.
    First, what are you ingesting?  I need the physical media and file type it starts with.
    Second, are you transcoding?  I need to know what you transcode to (file type and the specs for frames etc).
    Third, where are you sending them?  I need to know what Disk, and any other info on where the files are going.
    Fourth, how long are the clips?  The longer they are, the longer it takes to ingest, and the more active the scene the longer it will take to scrub through.  Some systems have a file-size issue with the volume you output to.  I suggest using an external disk formatted as EXT4 (exfat 4), it has a 16terabyte file-size limit.  Other file systems will split the files in an odd fashion, and often do so destructively with larger files.  Less than 6gb isn't a problem, but more... ...the system may flag it.
    Finally, what are you using to ingest the files? USB, thunderbolt, firewire... ...They all have their good and bad.  USB has version 1 2 and 3.  Firewire has 400 and 800.  Thunderbolt has only 1 speed ("wtf was that?").  Usb can have stability problems and disconnects, and usb3 isn't exactly perfectly compatible with mac.  If you can, get a thunderbolt usb3 hub, they limit the speed in, but maintain the stability.  You'll get 1-2\3 usb3 speeds with stability of thunderbolt at the computer end.
    One last note, make sure your permissions are set and the application support folders are okay... ...I've had apps crash when they tried to access this in the /user/library folder, mainly do to a mavericks update that was supposed to lock down security.  Make sure these folders allow the app to access them.  You may need to find some tools to "Watch" the app, or find a crash log after and read where it failed.
    To really get into things, I need all this.
    You might try to do a permissions repair.  Some updates don't reset them properly or the magnetics on a drive go a little haywire when reading the permissions.  You need to ensure your system is clean.  Do a drive repair just in case.

  • Exporting multiple audio channels from Premiere Pro CS6 in MXF OP1a

    I have a Premiere Pro project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
    Method:
    When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. I make sure that none of the channels are muted.
    Result:
    The rendered file contains 8 channels as I want it to, but only the first two channels contains audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
    Any ideas what I can do?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hey Guys,
    I'm having problems exporting an 8 channel audio mxf for a broadcast client. The mix they want is as follows:
    Track 01: Full Programme Mix L
    Track 02: Full Programme Mix R
    Track 03: International Sound L
    Track 04: International Sound R
    Track 05: Music and Effects L
    Track 06: Music and Effects R
    Track 07: VO Mono
    Track 08: Interview Mono
    I have setup the sequence following this video on vimeo and am fairly confident I have the sequence settings correct. https://vimeo.com/38501157
    I also can export a multichannel mxf. But all my tracks are exported as mono and I am therefore not maintaining my L and R as set up in my sequence
    The problem is on exporting that since Tracks 01 and 02 are bounced down to 1 + 2 it means that my Track 01 (Panned L) is getting bounced down onto my Track 02 aswell and thus it does not remain seperate. Has anyone delivered a similar format for a broadcaster and come across this problem with Premiere Pro and know a solution?
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

  • Unable to export Quicktime after upgrade from Premiere 7.0 to 8.0 (2014) error "incompatible video codec in preset"

    In the previous version of Premiere Pro (downloaded two months ago) I was able to export QuickTime files with preset HD 720p H.264.  It was very easy to do this in the previous version.
    Upgraded to Premiere Pro 8.0 (2014), no when I attempt to export the same project with the same settings I see error message "incompatible video codec found in the preset. present load failed" 
    When I select Quicktime, the default preset appears as NTSC DV Widescreen 24p.   Attempted to export with this setting, result is a file that plays audio but no video.  
    System is Windows, tried two different computers, including one with Windows 8, same result. Tried Media Encoder, same result. 
    I searched the forums for an answer, the new features page lists these presets as available however they are not working for me.  Nothing else was changed on the computer, only the upgrade to Premiere 8.0 (2014)
    How can I export Quicktime files in the new Premiere Pro?  

    Tech support helped me solve the issue - uninstall QuickTime and reinstall the newer version of QuickTime
