Horizontal flickering in Premiere Pro CS4

Help, I have raw footage shot in HD
V 720p 24fps. I am on a PC with Windows XP Pro. When I play the clips on windows media player, they are fine. When I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they have horizontal razor like flickering across the screen, especially during motion or fast moving scenes. I have Matrox Axio LE as well. I built an editing computer just for video editing and this is very annoying. I am new to Premiere Pro and am wondering what I am doing wrong. Help.

JVC GY-HD200UB ProHD-- I've read that is a nice camera
what does the footage do when you import into 720 30p sequence?
Are you 100% that it wasn't recorded in the 720 25p? what about 720 60p?
I wish I could be of more help but never used this camera before
So please check your camera settings again and make absolutely sure that it was recorded 720 24p.
After some additional readings I found out that your camera can record to an S^%* load of formats-
Anyone else here with this camera that can provide more hands on experience for JM?
Check all your camera settings again just to be sure JM
Good Luck
I'll post if I can find anything else- i've read some people with fcp have had trouble editing this footage as well- go to bh's product page for your camera and read the reviews- that's where I read about a similar issue with fcp

  • Need help with 24fps in Premiere Pro CS4

    I am having issues  working with 24fps imported video. My computer hardware is an AMD dual core processor running at 2.6GHz. It has 2GB of Kingston Hyper-X memory, 2x 300GB hard drives (not RAID), and an Nvidia 7900GS video card with 256MB video ram. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1. I am running Premiere Pro CS4 with all the current updates.
    So here is the issue I am having. I captured video on a Canon XL2 in 24fps, 16:9 widescreen, and 2:3:3:2 pulldown. My CS4 project settings were set up as DV-24P Widescreen 48KHz. I did not try changing other settings on the other tabs. I captured the video directly from the XL2 with no dropped frames. The resulting AVI plays back in Windows Media Player 11 correctly. What I mean by that is the is no jerky video, I get no raster lines, and the video quality is very clear. When I load the video into the time line and play it back in the program monitor the video jerks like it is dropping frames, I get raster lines and it looks like video clarity fades in and out.
    At first I thought nothing about it. I used Adobe Media Encoder, and burned a DVD. Playback on my widescreen TV looked jerky, rastered, and the video was only clear in static scenes. So I made some test projects with different settings. Still had no success. The original capture looks good, but whatever I do in Premiere the video jerks and looks like old VHS video.
    I did another test. I set the XL2 to 30P and 4:3, and captured the video. Again the captured AVI looks good. Put it on the Premiere timeline and played it in the program monitor. It plays fine - good video quality, no rastering, and no jerking. Made a DVD with no problems in the video. So my question is what setting in Premiere do I need to capture, edit, and export 24fps 16:9 widescreen video so that it plays back with with the same video quality as it was captured? Do you think it is an encoder problem? The captured AVI is what ever encoder came with Windows/Premiere as I have not added any other encoders.
    Any help would be apperciated. If I have not supplied enough information, please just ask.  

    If the video is playing back badly in Premiere Pro from the timeline, then the things I would check would be the program monitor quality - is it set to highest...if you don't know where that it is, click on the 4 horizontal lines in the top corner of the program monitor - make sure highest quality is selected. It also may be a video card issue - are your drivers up to date? If the clips are only playing back badly on the PPro timeline (and anything exported from it), but fine in Windows Media Player - something is up.
    As for the frame rate - no, you don't have to work at 24P...as mentioned before, the camera actually records at 29.97 fps, but is able to be played back and edited at 23.976 fps (or 24P)...it's a complicated explanation on how it all works...
    If you're going to finish to a regular DVD, then working at 29.97 is the way to go. As for the interpret footage command, highlight the clips in your bin, then right click on them - in the menu, you'll see interpret footage - click on that and a new window should open...you should see a box with a check next to it that says remove 24P pulldown - click it (removing the check) and the footage frame rate should change to 29.97 - then click OK...create a 29.97 sequence (DV NTSC Widescreen 48Khz), and edit away.

  • My Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 wont export properley.

    Im running Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on my Windows Vista & everytime I try to export my video something goes wrong. When I go to export, it opens Adobe Media Encoder & starts encoding it, but most of the time it will jus stop encoding. Even the elapsed time stops ticking. & I know it isnt the program freezeing up because I can still click the icons and even cancel or add new files, and it isnt just running slow because ive left it for 4 hours and it made no progress at all. A few times it has finished but the video gets screwed up. Like once a certain effect didnt show up, & both times the clips got screwed up & jus flashed green & repeated with the audio stillplaying fine. The only thing I can think of is it's the fact that Im running Vista or that the video has 117 items imported. Please help, Im at wit's end.

    Alright, my computer is a Windows Vista. My processor is AMD athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4450e 2.30 GHz. I have 3 Gigs of memory (RAM), and it's a 32-bit Operating System. I have 2 harddrive Disks, the C drive (85.6 GB free of 112 GB) and a "FACTORY_IMAGE (D:)" with 1.53 GB  free of 11.2 GB, but I think the D drive is just for recoverey, it came built in with the computer. My virtual memorey says it's saving on the C drive and has "Total paging file size for all drives: 3241 MB". I close all other programs besides Adobe Premire Pro CS4, and Adobe Media Encoder when encodeing. Ive also tried running just Media ENcoder with same results.
    The video files I have uploaded are .MP4 and .FLV. Ive uploaded MP3 files for some of the sound clips and PNG for some still images. Like I said before I have 117 imported files. Also my video is 7 minutes and 44 seconds long.
    Now my problem has never accoured in the same place in the video. It seems to be spontanious. For example I tryed to export it the first time and it encontered an "Unknown Error" this was at a minute and a half of encoding the video. Then the second time I tryed to encode it it worked all the way through, but when I went to play the file it played just fine up until a point. then a series of clips began to flicker and play the wrong clips, some times from a scene that happened just previously to the clip before and also flash green. The audio stayed the same though. After the clip finished and another clip began to play it worked fine. Then I tryed to encode it a third time and this time it simply stopped encoding. Like I mentioned earlier the program or my computer never froze it just stopped encoding and the timer stopped. This happened a few more times before it finished encoding it again, but the same problem happened with the skipping, playing the wrong clip and flashing green while the video progressed, but this time it happened at a compltetly different part. For exaple the first time it happened about 2 minutes into the movie and the second time it happened about 5 minutes intot he movie.
    When while I was making the video randomly the flickering of wrong clips and green flashing accourded when I would played a scene, now by just restaring premiere the problem would go away and the scene would play just fine. But this only happened in editing maybe 3 times. Unlike when I was encoding where it happens everytime the program finishes.
    I hope this was enough info, if Ive missed anything please tell me.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 "Export Settings" window does not show up.

    Hello,
    I've run into a new problem with Premiere Pro CS4. Basically, when I select "File > Export > Media" my Export Settings window doesn't show up. If I click on the Premiere window I hear the beeping sound and nothing happens, if I hit Enter the Export Data window pops up and then Media Encoder opens. So, it seems that my Export Settings window is still open but I can't see it and make the necessary setting changes. It does not appear to be minimized and I can not locate it on my desktop anywhere. This is really frustrating because I was able to see the Export Settings window just a few weeks ago when I was exporting my last project. I've tried changing my screen resolutions but that didnt reveal the Export Settings window.
    Does anyone know what is going on here and, more importantly, how I can fix it? I am really stuck here and am working against a deadline. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
    -Ben

    Ben,
    THANK YOU!!!! For two days I have been struggling with the exact same issue. And of course it was simple to fix, if I had just thought about it. Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. I had tried all sorts of stuff trying to get everything onto my #1 monitor, with desktop & workspace resets, resizing my display, etc. After reading and printing your post,
    Hitting ALT+Space,
    Down Arrow,
    Enter,
    and then pressing the left arrow and watching my Export window slide into view, I was laughing so hard, that I was tearing up. It would have been a month waiting for my second monitor to get repaired to get to see what was still being displayed on this ghost monitor. Each week, I video and edit our church's service and then post three versions (Windows Media Player, Ipod-MP4, MP3 Audio) of it to our web site. I would have been four weeks behind were it not for your post.
    Again, a BIG Thank You!!!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 over remote desktop does not play sequence

    Hi all,
    I have been researching this issue over the internet but I have found absolutely no references to it:
    I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my high-resource PC but would like to work from a different room so I am remoting form my laptop to my "good" PC.
    The system lets me do everything I could normally do when working directly on the main PC with the exception of playing back my edited files (before rendering). This is an obvious handicap since I can not watch my edited sequence and am, therefore, working in the blind. I am able to step through it frame by frame, but when I click the play button, it changes to a pause symbol (as usual) but nothing is shown in the video window. This does not just happen when previewing my edited sequence but also when previewing any imported resource.
    Essentially, Premiere Pro CS4 is not playing any video content over a Remote Desktop.
    Other normal playback software (such as VLC, Windows Media Player etc...) works though, so it is not an issue of no video playback at all. This just happens when I'm using Premiere Pro.
    Any suggestions as to what this may be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to edit a full 1080p HD video in Premiere Pro CS5 remotely using HPs RGS (Remote Graphics Software).  I had a Workstation at work with Premiere Pro installed on it and all the source footage on it.  I was then able to log on remotely from home with my old weak-sauce desktop and successfully edit and play back the HD footage remotely.  You just do a google search for HP RGS or go to this link. http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
    There is a free trial available too. I don't know why there is not more information about RGS on the web, but it seems to me to be the only solution to work on Premiere or After Effects remotely.
    I hope this helps

  • Premiere Pro CS4 does not import EX1 files longer than 1 hour

    I had to record a long speech and used a Sony XDCAM HD EX1 camera with a 32 Gb and a 16 Gb SXS cards. The speaker paused after 1h 26 min. I stopped the recording and waited until the green light that allows recording the segment came on. Later I recored smaller segments.
    I copied all the recorded files to the PC hard disk ( Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz with 3.25 GB RAM with XP Proofessional SP3).
    I used Sony Clip browser to watch the clips and all of them were perfect. Then I opened premiere Pro CS4 4.21 and I wanted to import this 27 GB file. In the media browser appeared only one mp4 file. All the short ones where imported normally but the big one freezed premiere and the only way to close premiere was with the windows task manager.
    I checked again in the Sony XDCAM clip browser version 2.6 and you can see it perfectly. There was a detail, though: in the lower part of the preview window I saw 6 marks. When I checked the file in the disk, I found that the 27 Gb file was separated in 7 parts. Each of them was 3.51 Gb and the last one 2.5 Gb. That means that the file was cut in pieces that were less than 4Gb supposed max file lenght.
    I tried many ways to import and no result. The I used the "export " of the sony clip browser. There is one choice that is "MXF for XDCAM HD". When I chose this item another panel appeared and showed a 1440 X 180 59.94i 25Mbps choice. I took it and after some time it created the 27 Gb file that I could import it normally with 4 audio tracks. But there is a drawback a "media concept" logo appeared to remeber to "buy" the program.
    Anyhow, the question is: How can I import to Premiere CS4 a MP4 file created by a Sony EX1 HD camera whose lenght is more that 1 hour long ?
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    I think  is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
    "My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

  • Premiere Pro CS4: 64-Bit App or Not?

    I read in the new Premiere Pro CS4 specs that it was "optimized for use on Win Vista 64-Bit..."
    Using that language, is Adobe saying it's still a 32-bit app, but will work fine on the Vista 64-bit platform? Would appreciate somebody clarifying that point.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - editing video from GoPro video camera

    I am having a problem trying to edit video from the GoPro camera in Premiere Pro CS4 (PP). Have not been able to get much help from GoPro - they just tell me to speak with Adobe. I think the video codec used by the camera is MJPEG (?). It won't play at all on the timeline. Interestingly it will in After Effects (AE) CS4 and if I export it out of AE as a Microsoft AVI file I can then play it in PP. However if I go straight to Media Encoder and import the clip and then try export the clip via ME as a Microsoft AVI the exported clip from ME won't play in Premiere Pro. I am confused. Does anyone know this camera, it's codec and why it just won't work when directly imported into Premiere Pro but it will when imported directly into After Effects. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Please see a post I made this morning under my screen name BruceERoberts .... details below
    I just purchase Adobe Premiere Pro a few days ago - and subsequently updated it to Ver 4.2.1.  A started a new project - I tried to import some video footage I just shot with a GOPro Hemet Cam while skiing at our local mountain.  I can easlily see the clip using Real Media Player - or the Quick Time player.  It is a 10.9 MB ... 7 second MPEG-4 movie clip.  File name is "gopro0030.mp4"
    I created a "bin" called video .... then right clicked to import the file.  You can see the file name in the media browser.  But the file would not import.  I received this error message:  "109C ImporterProcessServer.exe  Application Error.  The instruction at "0x05efcac" referenced memory at "0x00000014".  The memory could not be read. CLick OK to terminate."
    This is very frustrating - I just purchased the software - and it won't import a 7 second video clip!  It did import still fotos with no problem.  What can I do?
    thank you for your attention to this.

  • Use of a capture board in Premiere Pro CS4

    For several years I have been using Premiere Pro 1.5 with a Canopus Storm 2 capture card and drivers.  It has been working fine for me.  Actually I have been doing event video for about twenty years and have gone through a lot of Premiere progams.  I went from VHS to S-VHS and then into Mini DV.  I don't think I will be going to HD.  However, like life, we need to keep up with some of the changes.  So I have been considering upgrading to Premiere Pro CS4.  I was told that Canopus is no longer working with Adobe and that now it is Grass Valley and they have their own editing software.  They no longer want to let the user of their products use Adobe products.  If this is so, then what type of capture card is working with Premiere Pro CS4?  And what is the cost for my changing my system?  At least a ball park figure.  I just had a new OS put into my video editing computer and right now everything is screwed up.  The Adobe Premiere Pro and Canopus seem to be working okay, but I am not getting anything out from my computer to my editing monitor and sound mixer.  I worked all week on it and to no avail.  For years I did event video and put out some fantastic stuff, now I just want to do some informational videos and nothing is working right.  I am open for suggestions.

    Okay Harm,  that is part of the problem.  Since I put in a new OS I can't get my video editing to do right.  Nothing is showing up on my studio monitor that is hooked to the Storm 2 card and nothing is coming in to my Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro line mixer that is connected to a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live card.  I have done everything I can think of and nothing is coming out.  I have everything hooked up just like it has been for the past five or six years.  I downloaded all of my software - Previere Pro first and then Canopus and then Sound Blaster and the plug-ins seem to go in okay.  What I am getting is a sound apperance on the Premiere sound screen and also a wave form on the timeline.  In all apperance the Storm card and the Premiere are working, but nothing seems to be coming out.  Also I am getting no sound out when I download music in Audition.  I did before I replaced my Windows XP SP3 OS.
    I didn't know that the Canopus Storm 2 had a conflict with PP 1.5.  I guess I never experienced any trounble before.
    I just now went into my Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and opened up a capture that I had downloaded into the timeline.  Here is what happens. When I scrub the Capture monitor in PP everything works fine in the computer and the studio monitor and sound line mixer.  But when I scrub the timeline I get no sound out, and nothing shows up on my studio monitor.  It is almost like everything is reverse.  

  • Can I import I-life files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?

    Okay, so not exactly an Apple question, but there are so many smart, helpful people on here, and the Adobe forum doesn' t seem very active.
    I recently got Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (the movie editing software).  I tried to import files from I-photo, but those folders wouldn't even open.  Tried to import files from the movie folder, which were in .mpg format, but got a message that it is an incompatible format.
    Those were just simple movie files taken with a small digital camera.  Does anyone know how I could use this footage in Adobe Pro?  I have access to other Adobe software as well, perhaps there is a way to convert the files?  If I try to import something to Adobe from I-movie, should that work?  Or from I-DVD?  Also, is it possible, with Adobe or regular Mac software, to import regular DVD footage (that is not in form of a computer file, but just something that plays in your DVD player) or perhaps convert it into a computer file?  I have some old VHS footage that was copied onto a DVD and would like to edit it, or at least have it on my computer as a file.
    Also, if I can't use those files, are there any places on the internet where one can download some simple footage to try out in Adobe?  I'm new to it, so I'm just trying to get some files together so I can try out how it works.
    Lastly, if anyone knows of a good online tutorual for CS4.  It's an older version, and on the Adobe site they only have tutorials for the newer one.
    Thanks!

    This is a forum. None of the users here -at least not to my knowledge - are Adobe professional
    Ninety-nine point nine percent correct. We are blessed with a few Adobe employees here, unlike some fora, but those folk are probably at NAB right now. Also, they are in other departments, so would have to walk "down the hall," or make a call, just as we would.
    When it gets to issues on licensing, installation, etc., we're pretty much at a loss. Most of us have never encountered such issues, and only know what we have read in others' threads, when they have bothered to report back. Even then, that is third-hand info.
    Last time that I had an Adobe installation issue was AI 3, IIRC. My upgrade version did not have the old database of S/N's. Mine was 00-000-003, and things had changed drastically. One call to Adobe, and a total time of about 5 mins. (including hold time), and I was given a number to plug in, and then everything installed perfectly. That was in about 1989, so is not quite contemporary. Still, that is the last and only first-person account that I can offer. Most here have zero personal experiences, as they came to the party later, and have just not had any such issues.
    We'd love to help, but just do not have the experience.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 crashing in startup

    I have Premiere Pro CS4 on a Dell Precision m6400.  When I start up and try to start new project when not on network, it crashes.  Even though I go in and change all file information to C: drive.  The only message I am receiving is "Sorry a serious error has occurred that requires ...to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project."  If there is a crash report I don't know where to find it.  PrePro works on network.  I just need to know what to fix so that I can work from home.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is your My Documents folder mapped to a network drive?
    As Craig mentions, running PrPro on a network can be problematic. Much will depend on exactly the configuration of the network.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 (Windows 7) will not (Capture or Record) connect with DV Cass Recorder

    For 12 yrs I've Never had a problem w Adobe Prem Pro seeing my Panasonic  AG-DV2000, DV cassette Recorder. Premiere Pro CS4 (with Windows 7 Ultimate) will not connect (Capture or Record)with my DV Cassette Recorder - Panasonic  AG-DV2000. I upgraded my computer to below components & added Windows 7 at same time.  Have had Adobe Prem Pro CS4 since fall with no problems.  I usually have 2 - 5 videos, with 2 - 4 audios, going at same time on my timeline. (These digital videos & audios I shot myself professionally with mini DV cassettes.) Most projects are between 10 to 50 mins on timeline, w transitions or crossfades between video & audios. Firewire attached from computer to Panasonic. No Capture card in new system, not needed, use to watch over an external TV, now watch over a second monitor or in program  monitor.    [Am I just missing a simple setting??]           Computer below & settings:   very up to date.

                    Under DV               says Panasonic is Online, export to tape/it renders/Premiere controls the Panasonic recorder -looks like it's recording, but see no video -                                                 hear the sound. On Playback nothing was recorded? ( And Can't capture from tape to computer)
                    Under HDV            Says Panasonic is Offline, but computer able to control the Panasonic start/stop, but doesn't record or capture tape to computer? 
    [ I think this DV/HDV part is correct......  it's getting very confusing at this point??!! Your help is appreciated Thank YOU ]
