How to Import *.FLA to Premiere Pro CS4?

is it posible to Import *.FLA to Premiere Pro CS4?
if it's able to, so How? ..please
thanx

I haven't tried it, but I'd be surprised if PR would import an .fla (the flash project file).  It is not listed in the fiile formats:
CS5: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd79b3ca3b623cac97fa024001235833a568-800 0.html
CS4: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WSf52ca809ac8f6c7135876f961243120b72d-8000.htm l
SWFs are listed as okay for import in at least CS4 and CS5.  But if you've got the fla, you can probably export a swf.

  • Importing .AVI to Premiere Pro CS4

    Hi
    I'm trying to edit a video that I got from my DSLR. It's in .AVI format.
    When I import it to Premiere Pro CS4 and tried to play it. I can only hear the audio but the video doesn't play.
    I already tried installing K-Lite Codec Pack but still the same.
    I used Gspot and it says Codecs are installed.
    Hope someone can help me out.

    Having a CODEC installed is no guarantee that an NLE program can use it to edit. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
    As John T. points out, two very popular versions of the MJPEG CODEC are the Morgan, or the MainConcept, but your DSLR might have come with exactly what you need - but you might need to look on the included DVD for it. Camera mfgrs. often tweak their particular CODEC's, and especially with the MJPEG CODEC. That should be included, but it might be a separate installation, it might install with the camera's driver, or it might install with editing/organizing software. See this ARTICLE for a bit more detail.
    Good luck,

  • 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

  • Vob Import Question in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1

    Hello,
      Prior to posting, I read numerous posts related to importing vob files in Premiere.  None of them seemed to address the particular problem I am experiencing, and I was hoping to find an answer here in the forums.  Here's what I am attempting to accomplish:
    1)  Export the vob files (there are 4 of them) from a commercial movie DVD to hard disk
    2)  Import the vob files into a Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 project
    3)  Build a sequence out of the 4 vob files
    4)  Replace the sound in two very short segments to eliminate profane language so that my children may watch the movie
    5)  Import the sequence into Encore CS4 and burn a standard DVD
    I was successful in all of the above steps 1-5.  So what's the problem?  I noticed, when viewing the output DVD, that at a certain point (only a single point) in the movie, the sound was garbled and the frames got 'wonky' (a technical term I picked up from Deke McClelland).  My first assumption, was that I had messed something up somewhere in my editing process.  When I navigated to the problematic time in my Premiere project, I saw that there was a problem in that at a certain point, the video would flicker, after which the audio would be out of sync with the video and would remain so until the end of the sequence.  If instead, I simply navigated within the sequence to a few seconds past where the problematic frames seemed to be, all would be well (audio and video in sync).  So, this means to me, that at the point where the problematic frames seem to be, Premiere has trouble interpreting them, and from that point on, the sequence is affected.  If the seemingly problematic frames are skipped, then Premiere does not enter its bad state.
    The next troubleshooting step was to start afresh, and see if the problem existed prior to making any edits to the sequence (i.e. steps 1-3 above).  The problem still existed.
    The next troubleshooting step was to see if a media player exhibited the same behavior as Premiere.  So I took the same vobs and viewed them with Windows Media Player 11.  There was no problem viewing the exact same vob in Media Player 11 that essentially is not viewable in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1.  Hmm.
    The next troubleshooting step was to see if an encoding program would exhibit the same behavior as Premiere.  I imported the same vobs into TmpEnc, and when viewing them, no problems were exhibited.
    Although not conclusive, it appears that there is a bug in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1.
    Another problem that I noticed with vobs, is that sometimes, Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 does not recognize the proper frame rate of a standard DVD vob file, e.g. given 5 vobs that comprise a single movie, the first vob is shown as simply a video file (i.e. no audio at all) @ 29.97 fps in the Project panel, but the subsequent 4 vobs are recognized correctly as having both audio and video @ 23.976 fps.  As before, I validated that the apparently problematic vob (from the Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 point of view) renders/plays perfectly fine in other applications (i.e. no audio or video problems).  I attempted to use 'Interpret Footage' to rectify the problem with the vob, and when I type in 23.976 fps, it takes it, but then displays in the Project panel as 23.98 fps.  It didn't fix the problem, but I was wondering if diplaying 23.976 as 23.98 (as opposed to 23.976 which is shown for the non-problematic vobs) is another problem.
    Thanks much for any and all help,
    Matt
    My system specs, if needed:

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, you have several problems, but most are with your choice of equipment and your workflow, not your choice of an NLE.
    I took a wedding video from 1990 on a VCR tape and turned it to digital via a Dazzle hardware unit that plugs into the computer. It gives me vob files with no menus or anything like that
    Few people have ever been able to get a Dazzle to work. This is true, even with the Pinnacle software, that often comes with it. It is an AVID product now, as they bought Pinnacle, and if you can get it to work at all, you are ahead of 99% of all owners. Stop by the Pinnacle fora and type in Dazzle. You will get the idea quickly.
    A far better workflow would be to use a VHS player, hooked to an A-D device, like the Canopus/Grass Valley 110, or their 300. Use the Edius software that comes with it, to Capture DV-AVI Type II files w/ 48KHz 16-bit Audio. There will be zero OOS issues.
    Most other equipment and workflows are kludges and seldom work at any level.
    A good workman does not blame his tools. He might blame his choice of tools, but not the tools. Unfortunately, you chose a piece of hardware that doesn't usually work with the included software, and are blaming a great NLE program, because you are trying to work with horribly bad footage.
    Please do yourself a favor. Donate the Dazzle to Goodwill, and look at the Canopus/Grass Valley 110. The price differential is not that great, and you will keep all of your hair.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS just did 34 VHS tapes via the above suggestions (some LP and some EP), and got many hours of usable footage. Not one glitch. No OOS. Every file edited perfectly in PrPro and I delivered 15 DVD-5's, that the client loved. I paid for a Canopus 300 with just my time on one project.
    PPS, please see my post #5 for a link to an article on VOB files.

  • Render quality drops when importing sequences from Premiere Pro CS4

    Hello,
    I have both AE and Premiere Pro CS4, and, because my Media Encoder doesn't work (a common problem, apparently), I import my sequences into AE to render. However, I've noticed a marked drop in quality in the sequence when imported into AE as opposed to when it's in Premiere Pro. It's comparable to a "Full" dropping to a "Half" when changing preview render quality in AE. What am I doing wrong? Is there some simple way to match the quality of the AE Comp (that has the PP sequence in it) to what the original Premiere Pro project has? Should I not be putting the PP project into a new comp in AE before I render it out? Is there another way that can retain the quality of the original Premiere Pro project?
    This is urgent, as I need this rendered by Monday. Any help would be appreciated! Obviously, this is the first major project I've done this "workaround" with. I wish AME worked, but it doesn't for me.
    Thanks!

    By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
    You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
    Hope that helps,
    Seb

  • Quality loss when importing/exporting in premiere pro cs4

    Hi, I am fairly new to premiere pro cs4, but have some experience in final cut and after effects cs4, and I have a problem thats been bugging me for awhile.
    I decided to try out premiere pro again [only used two or three times] I made a new project and sequence then imported a screen capture of a game I had on my desktop. when I dragged it into the timeline and looked over the footage it was blurry and not very clear at all, so i just did a quick edit and exported it, thinking the final product would have better quality. turns out the quality of the final product was even worse than it was when i was editing it.
         I used DV-NTSC widescreen 48khz preset and didn't change any of the general settings.
         the screen capture is a .mov file, 114mb, its dimensions are 762 x 502, animation codec, and 4,970 bit rate.
         i used the program ishowu you record my screen, i set it to have a 25 frame rate, max quality, and animation compression.
         I used the youtube widescreen HD preset H.264 format [I had planed to upload it as a quality test.]
    Another question is can i set my own dimensions for the sequence instead of having to choose a preset? I hope I didn't leave anything out, and thanks in advance.
    here's what it looks like before i edited it.
    and heres after:

    I use a lot of 3D animations from Mac-artists, and request the same files, MOV with the Animation CODEC. I have never had any issue with those, in my SD DVD Projects. Not sure what is going on in your case. My guess would be that it's the Scaling to the DV Preset, that is causing you an issue. In my case, the animations match my source footage, 720 x 480 w/ appropriate PAR @ 29.97 FPS, so there is no scaling taking place.
    As for the Frame Size, you want to explore the Desktop Preset. Unlike all the rest, it allows you to do exactly what you want - adjust the parameters to match your source footage.
    Good luck,

  • How do I export a Premiere Pro CS4 file as a *.mov file?

    Hi,
    I got Premiere Pro CS4 some time back and never got round to properly learning to use it.  I've picked it up again and have put together a small video sequence to ensure I can create something simple for a start and that it publishes fine but I've encountered a problem at the publishing stage (and I want to use it in After Effects so this is irritating me):
    * I've finished the sequence and it's on my timeline in unexported form
    * I then click File-Export-Media to go to the export settings
    * In the settings I export as a Quicktime *.mov file and both the video and audio check boxes are checked and ready to go
    * The quality is 100% and the output name has a legitimate path on my computer
    * I click 'OK' and the save window closes and a smaller window says 'Exporting data/file/whatever it should say'
    * I then search for the saved file on my PC,  first in the path the save screen said,  then using the search box in the windows button and I find it hasn't saved anything and told me it has done
    Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to properly save my video on my PC as a *.mov file?  I looked on Youtube and a tutorial suggested I was doing everything right but I just can't see why this isn't saving properly.
    Advance thanks.

    What version of Apple's QT Player do you have installed?
    What CODEC did you choose with your MOV Export?
    Good luck,

  • Imported avi crashes premiere pro cs4...sound only on windows movie maker

    Hello all,
    So when I go to import an avi it just crashes premiere pro...but first it turns into a sound only file, then crashes. With windows movie maker it only plays the sound?
    Anyone else have these problems? I don't really want to use other video editors...
    Oh and I'm running Vista.
    Suggestions please.

    I'm sorry I don't have a quick answer.
    From what I can tell
    - Vista X64 uses MovieMaker 64bit
    - MovieMaker 64bit requires 64bit codecs (I think there is an experimental 64 bit ffdshow on sourceforge that might work)
    - However installing 64bit codecs may stop your 32bit video apps from rendering properly.
    I didn't provide links to the experimental ffdshow build cause I didn't try it myself.
    If I were you, I'd give up on getting Movie Maker working for now, and just focus on Premiere pro. ? Since it is a paid application they should provide good support. You can't be alone with this issue. If they require codec information just tell them it's a H.264 video with PCM Audio in a AVI wrapper. Guess a quick snapshot video could be provided if they needed one.
    ps.
    . I'm just a user, not affiliated with Creative)
    (pss... I use Vista x64 as well, and do not get video in moviemaker either)

  • Importing psd into premiere pro cs4 failure

    I am running an xp 64bit comp with the master suite, when i try to import a simple psd file into premiere i get an error message stating unsupported format or damaged file. Also another problem I am having is importing mp4's, it simply doesnt happen. It is all on a fresh brand new machine which might be missing codecs or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
    Adam

    Yes, CMYK (can affect TIFF's too) has tripped up many. As much of my work is for print, I hit that early on, and scratched my head, until I grabbed the RGB version (usually give clients both), and viola, it worked.
    Another similar tripping point is 16/32-bit PSD's. If one works with Camera RAW, they often leave the files in a higher bit-depth, for better color, Levels and Curves editing, but forget to drop this to 8-bit for Video. All of my Actions include the Mode changes, just in case they are not already in the correct Mode.
    Good luck, and glad that things are working.
    Hunt
    PS - there have been some reports of PSD Importing failing, though all else is good, when one, or more Layers, contain only a very small pixel count. This often happens when one has a very small "logo," or similar in a much larger PSD. I've not hit this, but many have. One fix is to separate out the logo, and Import it a bit larger, then Scaling in PrPro. Personally, where possible, I like to keep the Scaling to an absolute minimum in PrPro, and do as much as is possible in PS.

  • Importing EDL from Premiere PRO CS4

    Hey! I shot a short film using the XDCAM EX1, then imported all the footage to FCP 6.0.4. Now it will be edited on APP CS4 but we're now doing some compatibility tests. Since PP wouldn't run the Quicktimes made during shooting using XDCAM Transfer to FCP, I made a couple of MPEG2 files on Compressor and that ran well.
    I got PP to read an EDL made on FCP and now I'm trying to read an EDL from PP to FCP but it says it can't. For secuence Preset I use XDCAM 720p24 since it doesn't have option for regular MPEG-2, is there an export option on PP that we're overlooking? What is to be done in order to get this to work?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for your answers guys.
    I can't reimport since it has been deleted from the original cards where it was captured.
    I import from the import menu, then EDL. I don't know if my setting is correct (XD CAM EX 720p24) but it does match with original clip. Also, the files exported from PP are marked as *edl.txt, is this a problem? I tried changing the extension to just .edl but it didn't work either. The exact message is: "Error importing EDL"
    Is there a workaround for this?

  • How can I download the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

    Can anybody tell me how can I download Adobe premiere Pro CS4 trial version for windows 7 English.

    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.
    Good luck,

  • Media Pending with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

    First of all guys, I know this is not a brand new issue but please help me out as am providing details. Thank you.
    I have JVC Everio jvc everio gz-hd5 60GB camcorder. As you probably know that it records file into .TOD format, I converted them into .MPG format. This is how I am importing to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 before it's showing me golden little screen displaying PENDING MEDIA forever.
    1. Import -> new project
    2. Capture format -> HDV
    3. Available Preset -> HDV108030p
    Operating system detail
    Microsoft XP Pro Version 2002 Service pack 3
    2.19 GHZ, 1.99GB RAM, Intel core 2 duo CPU
    p.s - I read some forums but the way they explained is too confusing.

    I dont think I have enough info about your computers and hard drives and so on to tell if you can really edit HD stuff , but at this point you should really convert the TOD file first anyway. I don't think just renaming the extension will make it work OK, but I found some info on the internet that might help you convert to a more editor friendly format...
    Standard definition video is stored in MPEG program stream container files with MOD  extension; in most other systems these files have extension MPG or MPEG.  High definition video is stored in MPEG transport stream container files with TOD  extension; in most other systems these files have M2T extension.[2] Transport stream files can be converted into more common program stream  files without recompressing the video itself. For example, FFmpeg,  a free software program, performs the conversion on Windows  and Linux systems with the following command: ffmpeg -i myclip.TOD  -acodec copy -vcodec copy myclip.mpg. Software, included with TOD  camcorders, performs this conversion as part of capture process. A  similar command is used for MOD files: ffmpeg -i myClip.MOD -vcodec  copy -acodec ac3 -ab 384k myClip.mpg -acodec mp2 -ab 192k -newaudio.
    You Gspot screenshot is good, and it shows that it doesn't recognize anything about the codec and codec name..the right side of the GSpot is usually full of information about the video file...like the frame size, FPS , aspect ratio, and so on.  As you can see from the above paragraph you would probably benefit from converting the TOD file using FFmpeg or some other program like streamclip ( also free program )
    That's your first step I think...
    You will have to know what your video file is...from the camera manual you can find out the frame size and fps used, whether it is progressive or interlaced, etc...  The reason you will need to know about your video file is because when you open the TOD file in a program like streamclip to convert it, you will want to convert it to basically the same specs, but with as a different "codec" and file type....but keep the same video characteristics as the original.

  • Editing H.264 .mp4 files in premiere pro cs4?

    I recently got a GoPro HD Hero camera, and i've been shooting in 720 and 60i, the files that come off of the camera are in .mp4 format, and when i import them into premiere pro cs4 i can hear the sound but all i see is a solid green screen, can anyone shed some light on this problem?

    I cant even get it to import to CS4
    On both my desktop and laptop.
    It crashes and just hangs.
    I tried CS3 but it would not even try to import saying not a suported format.
    im updating to the new 4.2.1 to see if that works.
    my compter is a few years old and it doesnt like HD.
    I can play HDV.
    Even just playing yours in my media player it is having a hard time keeping up.
    It plays fine on the laptop in the player so that is the one updating now.
    Even G-Spot says that the codec is undetermened.

  • 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

  • How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

    For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
    Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
    Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
    Please any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    NKC

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.
