Help converting files from vob to use in Adobe Premiere Pro

Help... I just recently purchased the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to use to edit some videos that I shot with the Sony DCR-DVD505. The files save as a vob file and I cannot get them to import into Adobe Premiere. I have tried several different conversion programs - but when I open them up into Adobe I have video and no sound. I have tried converting to mpg and to avi. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am ready to send the Adobe software back for a refund. I am extremely green at editing and this has been very frustrating.

I would not return Adobe, I would return the camera, it is not suited for editing. If you insist on editing that material and end up with pretty crappy results, play it out from a DVD player into a good tape based DV video camera thru analog in and pass it thru to firewire for capture.
To put it another way, when maximum achievable fidelity of video is 100, your camera is at 10% due to the heavy MPEG compression. You need to convert that to DV and you are left with around 8% due to DV compression, you then need to encode it again to MPEG and you end up with less than 1% out of a possible 100.

  • Transferring from Canon Vixia M40 to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?

    I cannot figure this out. I'm trying to transfer files from the built in memory on my Canon HF M40 to my MAC. I am trying to import it into Adobe Premiere CS4 and it's just not happening...it imports into iMovie just fine, but I don't want to use that program, anyone have any ideas?

    I'm sorry.
    Well I have my camera hooked via USB to my Macbook. When I turn on my camera with iMovie open, it automatically has an import window pop up with  the option to import the clips into iMovie, which is not what I would like to do. I would like to import (what I believe to be MTS video files) from my Canon Vixia to my computer or directly into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I have no error messages. My old Canon Powershot camera imported using iPhoto, but I guess this video camera is different since it is HD video files. I don't know what other information to give?

  • Exporting comp from After Effects CC to Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) gives error message: "AE can not connect to dynamic link"

    I am trying to export an AE CC comp into a Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) video project. I can not drage it from AE to Premier Pro.  Is there a problem with the dynamic link between these two applications?

    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro if the applications are of the same version---i.e., both CC 2014 versions.

  • Help converting files from CS4 to CS3

    Hi everyone,
    I'm wondering if anyone has time to help me.  I live in Washington, DC and we're buried in snow up here (!), so I'm not able to go to work.  I can access my work files from home, but I only have ID CS3 at home (and CS4 at work).  I have 2 InDesign files that I really need to be able to work with in CS3.  Does anyone have time to save them to INX format for me?   I zipped them together into a file here:
    http://pjutter.com/CS4files.zip
    I realize I'd lose some features, but it makes no difference.  One of those is just a template, and the other just has info I need in it.  If anyone can resave them for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! 
    Can't wait to get a new home computer...  Tried updating to CS4 on this one, but this machine's not up for it.
    Thanks, Phyllis

    These work great, thank you so much!
    So long as I only work on new stuff, I guess it doesn't matter if I switch to CS3.  :-)   I'll turn down requests for major edits to long documents already done in CS4!
    We have 2 feet of snow on the ground here and are expecting 10-20 more inches of snow starting around noon!  DC is basically shut down.  I live right in the middle of the District, and the roads are a mess here.  I can't imagine how bad the suburbs are.
    Thanks again!

  • Error converting files to PDF in Internet Explorer- Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    I've recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, from AAP 7. With AAP 7 I was able to open my windows based program, right click and convert the page to PDF. Since I've upgraded I am unable to do this anymore. When I right click and click to convert to PDF nothing happens. I've reinstalled the program, but still receiving the same error. Is there a way to fix this?

    If you open the file, what do your right click on? If you are talking about right-clicking the file icon in Explorer, that is not opening the file but using the functionality of Windows. Apparently the file associations did not get installed correctly or the print function does not work. You need to go back to step one and determine the functional aspects that fail. So, can you open the file in the application, select the print menu, and print successfully to the Adobe PDF printer? This is a key step that needs to work.

  • Audio-Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 by using long Clips in AVC-Intra Codec (4Gb Border)

    Hello
    We own a Panasonic camera (AJ-PX5000G) and we film in 1080p50 with the AVC-Intra100 Codec. When importing longer clips in Premiere Pro, the video is fully loaded, but the waveform of the sound ends at the Time Code 00:02:28:35.
    Sometimes the sound could be played after this Timecode but otherwise there is no audio. Even if we use the same clip several times we see that it works sometimes and sometimes not. It looks random.
    We also tried to import the Clips with Adobe Prelude directly from the P2-Card but there are the same problems.
    The Clips in 1080p50 AVC-Intra100 have a bitrate of 227Mbps. After 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds 4Gb are written on the P2-Card and the Camera starts a new picture file and 4 sound files..
    It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro has problems with the correct relation of the files that all get together to one clip.
    Is there anybody who can confirm this problem? Can anybody help me with this Premiere Problem?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 install from Adobe Website.  Installation problems.

    Hello everyone.
    I recently purchased a new computer.  And i've been trying to get all my software onto the new computer.  when the time came to install Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 I was informed that the website for activation of the product was down.  After talking about the issue with an adobe chat agent I was informed that all the CS2 software was in the same boat, and that a dedicated web page provided versions of the software which did not require activation.  (exclusively for people who owned the older software of course.) The site is here:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    I was told to use the Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 to replace my version 1.5 and that I could use the provided serial numbers. 
    After downloading the software I discovered that it could not install.  It accepted the serial number from the Adobe Site, but it ran into this error message:
    Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 Installer Information
    Error 1311.Source File not found: C:\Users\"myname"\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp 1_PPRO_2.0_Ret-NH_UE (4).zip\Premiere Pro 2.0\Adobe Premiere Pro\Data1.cab.  Verify that the file exists and that you can access it. 
    Pressing Retry only reloaded the error message.
    I dare not try to install my version of Adobe Premiere 1.5 again because I dont want it to crash and stall again.  (that is what happened when I tried to instal my older software.) 
    If anyone knows how I can get my software up and running I would appreciate it.  You could save me from having to go and buy the new Adobe Premiere which would cost me a tremendous amount of money.  Thank you for you consideration.
    Just so you know.  I also owned Adobe Photoshop CS2.  And the site worked for getting that software working.  I get the annoying register you product message (when it loads) but other than that it appears to be working.  I have no idea how to get the Adobe Premiere 2.0 to work.  ("There is no Adobe Premiere 1.5 download on the site.)

    I read your suggestion.  I was afraid you might say something like that.  I have a very expensive workstation computer.  I can't risk messing with the drivers when they are all functioning properly.  Its the Adobe Premiere that isn't functioning correctly.  After talking with you, it has become readily clear that It might be worth it for me to invest in the new software.  The older programs sometimes aren't functional in new hardware.  I am quite sure that if there was a way to make it work, it would have been more readily apparent.  based off everything I know now, I'd rather wait a little and get exactly what I need, than to rely on outdated  and non-functional software. 
    Thanks for helping me.  Almost saved a bundle of money.  I know more about installing programs though.  I should have known to un-zip/extract those files before I tried to install the program. So all is not lost. I learned a thing or two.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere Pro modify original footage/asset files (e.g. mov)? (CS6)

    Background:
    A colleague had given me a large 33Gb .mov for use in a project, I put this file on a backup drive.
    I made an identical copy of this 33Gb .mov file and placed it in a folder that I'd use to work on a Premiere Pro Project.
    I ran Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and dragged in the 33Gb .mov file into the Sequence (imported it)
    Premiere Pro CS6 started conforming the file.
    After it had finished, I noticed that it's Modified Date was just now i.e different to the Modified Date on the original copy of the file on the backup drive (see step 1)
    I ran a BeyondCompare check between the .mov file on the backup drive (see step 1) and the one that the Premiere Pro project was using (step 2, 3) and Beyond Compare reported they were different.
    I had initially thought it was unrelated file corruption of some kind, but I have checked this several times and got the same outcome, so it's definitely Premiere Pro deliberately modifying the file.
    So I am puzzled: these are supposed to be the same file.
    Why would there be a need for Adobe Premiere Pro to modify the footage?
    What does it do to the file?
    Would it not be better to create a separate file if necessary?
    I can accept this if that's how it works and it's good to know that it was Premiere Pro deliberately modifying the files and not corruption (so my hardware ought to be healthy). But it makes more sense to me if Premiere Pro made separate modified copies for its own use. Modifying the file as it does hinders my process for checking the integrity of backups; if the original asset footage files were the same as earlier copies then it would be easy to know that the backups are OK.
    Thoughts?

    Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
    These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

  • Any idea why my saved documents are unable to be read? "convert file from" box pops up, applications are listed to use but if any are chosen, the file then opens but is in symbols

    When attempting to open saved documents for viewing a box pops up "convert file from" with applications that can be chosen from to use. When any of the options are chosen the document then opens but is in symbols and is unreadable. This is happening with all saved documents.  Can you offer any help with this?

    Hi,
    If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.
