How Can I Import CR2 into Premiere Pro CC?

Hi, I have quite a lot of CR2 files that I'd like to import into a Premiere project. It's telling me that the file format is not supported. Is there a good workaround or plug in that anybody could recommend? I'm a little bit of a novice as Premiere is concerned. Any help would be terrific!
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
Depending on which Canon camera is shooting the CR2's (those change with the model of camera), and depending on the version of the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module one has installed, then Photoshop, LightRoom, or Photoshop Elements, should be able to Open the CR2's, and Save_As (either with, or without processing - though I always do some processing). Jim's suggestion for PNG is a good one. In my workflow, I just stick with PSD's, as I often have many different uses for the files, beyond Video.
Now, Adobe updates the ACR modules, with some frequency, so if your specific Canon is not supported with the latest ACR, it soon will be added. Also, at points in the development of the ACR modules, Adobe will no longer be able to write the modules for older versions of Ps, PsE or LR, so one might have to upgrade the host program. An alternative to the Adobe programs would be the Image editor supplied with the Canon camera, as it should be able to Open the CR2 files, and then Save_As, to a format that PrPro can use. There ought to be a program with a name like EOS Utility, on the utility disc, that came with the camera.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - as an interesting sidenote, Premiere Elements does allow for the use of ACR modules, and if those are updated, will allow direct Import of the CR2's, or NEF's (Nikon Camera RAW), or similar - so long as the most recent ACR module includes support for that particular version of Camer RAW.

  • Can't import MP3s into Premiere Pro

    I am running a trial version of Premiere Pro CS3 version 3.0.0. When I try importing an mp3, mp3 is not listed as a supported media and when I actually load it by choosing the All files (*.*) option I get the error "File format not supported". This really surprises me. Is this just because I am running a trial version or does Premiere Pro not allow you to import mp3s? This really surprises me if this is true.

    The trial version doesn't support anything MPEG, including mpeg audio.

  • CAN'T IMPORT WMV INTO PREMIERE PRO

    I read other threads like this without any success.
    I'm working with a 64bit windows 7 pc and 12 Gb ram. It worked fine until a week or so ago. Now I'm trying to import wmv files, about 20 Mb files and Premiere doesn't allow me to import these. However it works with smaller files.
    Basically what I'd need to do is importing a wmv from after effects, created from a jpg footage. I'm doing animations and the way I used to do it, has been always the same. Importing in AE my jpg footage, exporting as wmv to re-edit it through premiere. It is easier for me working these kind of files in premiere to have quick animations, since avi files are huge and QT ones don't work either.
    I called the customer service and after half an hour at the telephone finally it seemed working (with small files) but then I had the same problem.
    May this be a memory issue? Corrupt file? Windows media player can play these files, thouh I read it doesn't matter if it works with it.
    I need this by today for an exhibit and I'm pretty worried to not being able to finish the job.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    Thanks Harm.
    I don't need to have a very high quality for my videos at this point. I usually export as I've said and so far no problem at all. Now I'm fighting with this issue and wasting my time trying to understand what the problem is.
    I spent the whole day yesterday uninstalling and reinstalling the softwares, you can imagine how frustrating this can be if you have a close deadline.
    I prefer to work in AE first and then handling my file in PR.
    I'll give it a try and see if your suggestion is worth the time.
    Thanks

  • How do you import mp4s into Premiere Pro CS6?

    When attempting to import an mp4 file, I get a dialog box indicating that the import failed because the file does not contain video or audio streams. The file is undamaged, it plays fine on windows media player, both audio and video. I tried loading it into Adobe Media Encoder and had the same problem. Thoughts?

    What is inside your file?

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

    Thanks.

    Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.

  • CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

    CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
    Regards and again many thanks

  • How can I make title screens in either Illustrator or Photoshop and import them into Premiere Pro?

    I'm having trouble finding the identical aspect ratio to import either an Illustrator or Photoshop title screen into Premiere Pro. There are so many ratios to choose from with Premiere Pro that I've about lost my mind. I was able to import Photoshop title screens into iMovie with no problem. I'll be importing the finished video into my YouTube channel. I want it to be widescreen but have no clue which ratio to use. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I always start with New Image in Photoshop, and then choose a Video Preset, that matches my PrPro Sequence. I use one with Guides. I usually choose to create that New Image with a Transparent Background.
    Once complete, I just do a Save_As to PSD, which will be Imported into PrPro. If you have Ps Layers, you have two choices on Import: you can Import as Footage, which will Flatten your Layers, or you can Import as a Sequence to keep the Layers separate. Depending on what I will be doing, I might select one, or the other. If you Import as a Sequence, you can then animate each Layer individually.
    Good luck,

  • Importing files into Premiere Pro from DVD

    Using the CS3 Version of Premiere Pro...
    Ok on my DVD recorder I have a load of recorded programs, I'm now trying to import them on to my computer and then edit them on Premiere Pro. Now I can't even play these files, well I can't seem to play any videos from DVDs. (I think I need to download something in able for me to do it, that's a different issue but if anyone could help me with that I would be grateful too. The message that comes up for it is "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings".)
    Okay anyway to the real issue, these files are not able to be imported into Premiere Pro as they are not the right format.
    Ok on the disc it has two folders, "VIDEO_RM" & "VIDEO_TS".
    In the "VIDEO_RM" folder, they are all under the same name as the folder but one is a BUP file, one is a IFO file and the other a DAT file. The DAT file is the one that is the biggest size, the other two being 32kb.
    In the "VIDEO_TS" folder, there is a "VIDEO_TS" BUP file, a "VIDEO_TS" IFO file, a "VIDEO_TS" VOB file, a "VTS_01_0" BUP file, a "VTS_01_0" IFO file, a "VTS_01_1" VOB file, a "VTS_01_2" VOB file and a "VTS_01_3" VOB file. The VOB files are the bigger files.
    Ok if you aren't lost by now or haven't given up on me, what do I do now? I can't get these into my Premiere Pro project, I've heard stuff saying I need to convert it but all these convertion programs are complicated or I need to pay to be able to convert it or convert it with some text over it.
    Is there a way of importing these files into Premiere Pro through a different method than normal, or do I have to convert them? If so does anyone reccomend any programs.
    I'll appreciate any help and feedback given. I've been trying to work this out for the last few months trying to create a project for my Dad for Christmas but only now I've plucked up the courage to ask.
    Thanks,
    Andrew Mountier

  • Importing .psd into Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I am trying to import a Photoshop file (.psd) into Premiere Pro CC 2014.  I've watched all these tutorials and they make it look so easy using Import > Adobe Photoshop file and then it appears in the source monitor--it seems to be the same as well on their tutorials.  However, my .psd file which needs to have white font and does in Photoshop comes up as different color (black) and is much smaller.  I am doing this in a 4K sequence, I understand the dimension aspect, but when I try to import I set as Single Layers and it doesn't matter--black font again.  Is there something I am doing wrong in PS or PP or both?  I would really appreciate your feedback because I'm in a rut and nothing seems to work.  The Photoshop file is one that was preloaded for this band but it just does not import correctly.  Any other options for getting a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro CC 2014 or AE.  I also tried this in CS6 and was hoping to just copy and paste into CC 2014.  I can't believe it is this hard.  I must be doing something wrong especially since everyone else seems to do it so easy.  Thanks for you help.

  • Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

    When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source.  There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline.  Any fix for this?

    I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
    I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
    I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

  • I figured out how to snap a still photo of a movie clip, but where then does it go, and how can I import it into my iPhoto library?

    I was working in iMovie and discovered how to take a still photo of a movie clip.  Now I can't find that still photo!  Where did it go, and how can I import it to my iPhoto library?

    Just found out and it is simple.  When you find a frame in your video/movie of which you want a still photo or screen shot, just go to the frame and click on command, shift and the #3 in quick succession.  You will hear a "click" like a camera taking a photo.  The screen shot will then go to your desktop where you can drag it to iPhoto or an e-mail, or anywhere you like.  Also you can rename the screen shot by double clicking on the wording under the screen shot on your desk top. Whew!
