How do i import an MP3 into Premiere pro CS3?

When i try to import a MP3 file, adobe gives me the error messege "file format not supported". I searched in the adobe help files and MP3s are listed under the "supported video and animation file formats". I read through a couple of the posts on this forum but none are of any help. I realize that MP3s are a compressed file format, but to my understanding, MP3s are allowed. Thanks.

Do you have the trial version of PrPro, or the full version?
As for MP3's, some work fine, but some just do not. Most often, the ones that will not work have something like embedded "album art," or similar, though not always.
I'd use SoundBooth, or the freeware, Audacity, to open the MP3's and then do a Save_As PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit file. Import that. [Edit] Actually, I'd use Audition, but you get the picture.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How Do you import C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC

    I just tried importing  Canon C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC, but get no sound. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I pray I don't have to convert this footage before bringing it in. Is there a workflow anyone can recommend? Do I have to convert the footage first? Thanks, Lucian

    Lucian,
    PrPro should work natively with the Canon C100 footage ... it works with almost everything out there. And with the C100 shooting MP-4, AVCHD, & H.264, those are all handled easily by PrPro.
    My question ... I would surmise (from what little info you include) you are shooting AVCHD? The reason I say this is that format splits audio & video into different files ... so it's a bit trickier to "import" than others that have the a & v in one file. Make sure you copied the whole top-leveL FOLDER and all sub-folders (not just the footage or contents of a folder) from the cam/card into the computer for AVCHD ... and then when you import into a project via the media browser your audio & video should be all connected by PrPro.
    There have been numerous threads here where AVCHD users have "lost" their audio, only to find they'd simply left it behind by NOT copying all the folders & subfolders their camera had created.

  • When importing MPEG files into Premiere Pro CS3 the audio sequence is missing.

    We have two computers running Premiere Pro CS3.  Our computer most recently installed with PPCS3 will only import an audio sequence with the MPEG video file when I extract the file directly from the DVD.  When I take the video folder from the DVD and drag to my Desktop, importing to PP from the desktop, it will only import the video sequence; audio does not appear.  What would cause this happen and how can I fix this?  It's too time consuming to continuously use my DVD Extractor.

  • How to bring an Avid project into Premiere Pro CS3?

    My client has an old Avid project that needs to be re-edited. I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. Can easily purchase any necessary conversion software (NOT going to buy Media Composer :P). Is there any way to 'easily' import it?
    I'm familiar with the Automatic Duck software suite, but they don't seem to have an option for conversion to PPro. What about converting from Avid to After Effects, and then somehow importing the After Effects into PPro?
    I'm extremely new to EDLs and very hesitant to use them :). Any advice?

    I've had some degree of success going from Avid to PPro through the use of AAF (Advanced Authoring Format). If the project is really complex, the transfer may not work that well, but I was surprised to see just how much transferred cleanly. Check the Avid documentation for exporting a project as an AAF, and the PPro documentation for importing.
    One thing to note is that you will have to recapture the media from the original source tapes, as PPro will not work with media files created during capture on an Avid system.

  • Cannot import mpg files into Premier Pro CS3

    I've read the wiki and looked through the FAQs and did not find this issue, so here goes.
    The file began life as an mp4 from a GoPro HD camera.  It plays correctly in Apple's software, but will not import into Premier.  Found the KB on
    Error message "Unsupported format or damaged file" when you import  MP4 clips into Premiere Pro CS3 and changed the extension to MPG.  This got me audio, but no video.  The MPG plays correctly (audio and video) in Windows Media Player as well as in Bridge CS4.
    Windows Vista 64-bit, 8 Gig RAM, Intel Q9300 Quad Core Processor, GeForce 9600 GT video card w/1Gig DDR3 RAM.
    Any ideas?
    John

    PrPro is pretty well centered on pro formats. Many find that other NLE's, designed for consumer cameras and formats, work better and some natively. It's a tough call. I love the interface and workflow of PrPro, and use it 99% of the time. However, with heavily-compressed, delivery-only formats/CODEC's, some other NLE's work better - to start. I use those as converters, or do batch conversions with DigitalMedia converter, but it's shareware, and not freeware.
    Some users want PrPro to embrace every possible CODEC and variation on each, with hourly updates, as mfgrs make changes, and others want it to only perform 100% with pro-formats and leave the consumer stuff totally alone - there is PrElements for that. Me? I just roll with the punches, and convert from X to Y, and edit in my chosen NLE. Kinda' the "Jimmy Buffett" of video editing.
    Good luck,

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.
    -Robert

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

  • Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC

    Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC. But I can into After Effects CC.
    I also can't export to DNxHD files to an MXF file either.
    I do have latest Quicktime Pro installed and I also have Avid Media Composer and the other pieces of the Avid package.
    Conflict?

    I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges.  What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator").  I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator".  Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
    Anyone else have some ideas?

  • Can animated titles created in Titlemotion imported into Premiere Pro CS3?

    Hi,
    We are using Titlemotion Software(Standalone Version)for creating animated titles.
    We would want to use these animations into Premiere Pro CS3.
    We can save the animations made in Titlemotion as
    1) an FX-script,
    2) a targa sequence &
    3) a '.VIA' format.
    'VIA' files created in Titlemotion do not get imported into Premiere Pro CS3, Premiere Pro informs that they are not supported.
    Is there any way to import a .VIA file into Premiere Pro CS3?
    OR
    Is there any work-around wherein animations created in Titlemotion Pro could be taken into Premiere Pro CS3?

    Save as a targa sequence with an alpha channel.

  • Import mov files into premiere pro cc windows

    Hi
    to import mov files into premiere pro cc 64bit ,windows 8.1 64bit pro do i need Quicktime pro or quicktime alternative  ?
    because when i try to import a mov file i got this error
    thanks
    i remember cs6 was able to import it
    i have never installed quicktime pro

    Your question simply cannot be answered definitively for a given clip because it's the codec that matters, not the wrapper/file extension.
    As of one of the 7.x releases, Premiere implemented native support for decoding some codecs within a QuickTime file. But that native support does not extend to the entire universe of codecs that can be stuffed into the wrapper.
    So you can either report the codec or simply install QT and see if that enables PPro to import the clip.

  • How do I remove the watermark when importing WMV files into Premiere Pro?

    There is some metadata that adds a media player watermark to my WMV files when I import them into Premiere Pro. I can play the original WMV videos with out the watermark on VLC, but the watermarks show up when I play them on Realplayer. So I know there is something that reads the watermark into the video file and I want to know if there is a way to turn it off in Premiere. I can convert the wmv with Any Video Converter and there is no watermark, but I'd like to avoid this step if I can.

    Unfortunately my client doesn't know how the videos were created. My guess is that they were created using some free screen recorder. Most of the videos are recorded PPTs.
    I've checked the microsoft site, but haven't found anything relevant.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • 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.

  • Importing .MXF file into Premiere Pro

    Hi there, I'd like some advice on how to import .MXF files into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing.
    At university, the Premiere software there can support it. It even has a Canon XF100 preset all ready for .MXF files to be imported into and editing. However, the version I have does not have that preset and thus can not support it.
    I have come across a decent video converter that maintains the HD quality it was recorded in. However, it places a watermark above it unless I buy the full version. I am unsure, and as a student, it is pretty expensive.
    So I'd like to know, is there a way of adding the Canon XF100/.MXF preset into Premiere so I can edit these clips? Or is there a free converter out there which maintains the HD quality without placing a watermark above the video?
    I would greatly appreciate any help and advice for this situation.

    Hi kazpar0071,
    I'm using the latest Macbook Pro, OSX Yosemite. 8.0.1 is the Build number of the software.
    The preset is not there when creating a new sequence, however, I usually just create any sequence then drag and drop the media into the sequence, where Premiere will notify me that the sequence settings are different and whether or not I want to keep the existing settings, or change it, which automatically changes it according to the media.
    This is not the case, as even when I attempt to import the media into Premiere, I get the error message 'Unsupported format or damaged file'.
    Thanks for the info. In your case, the solution usually lies in signing out of Creative Cloud and then signing back in. Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
    Does it work now? Afterward, be sure to ingest from the Media Browser and not File > Import or by dragging.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
