How to tag media with keywords in Premiere CS5.5?

Hi,
I'm searching for a way to tag media (movie clips, subclips, sequences..) with multiple keyword tags.
It seems that Bridge uses tags, but this functionality is only for real files. I'm using many subclips that I need to keyword tag within Premiere, and then be able to perform filtered searches by keywords.
I'm really surprised that the metadata function in Premiere does not include keword tagging support. The best it seems to offer is a field named "description".
It seems that earlier/simplified (premiere elements) versions did support this. Is it relly possible that the Pro version of Premiere does not include this basic and useful tool ?
Many thanks in advance !
Daniel

You can't (unless you want to store them next to the originals, a proposition I find untenable). Some of the scratch disk settings are stored at the project level (things like video and audio previews), but the one's you're talking about are global - one setting for the whole program.
I don't like that arrangement myself. ALL scratch disks should be stored per project.

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

Keywords are stored on the image so they will automatically be read by CS6 or any other program.

How to capture DV video with Date in Premiere CS5?

Hi,
I'm running Premiere CS5 on a Mac (Lion osx 10.7), and for the first time want to transfer a bunch of DV tapes I have recorded over the years. The camera I am using for the transfer is a Panasonic PV-GS250. I would like to be able to transfer over the original date/timecode information in each individual clip so I know when the scene was shot.
Is this possible? I've tried reading through the docs and searched the web, but can't seem to figure out if/how to do this. And/or how to even view that metadata information from within Premiere.
If Premiere is unable to accomplish this, is there a better software that will allow me to capture the video like this?
Thanks,
Eric

Since CS4 (I think...or CS5...) there is the option to display the shot date.
On the bin window click it's context menu button (the upper right one) and choose Metadata display... then choose under Dynamic Media->Shot Date.
If this doesn work with your files, then try the Basic->Date Created choice under metadata too.
This will display on your bin the date of the shooting. It works perfectly with dv tapes captured via firewire. Please note that if the tapes being captured are dubbed tapes, they should be dubbed via firewire too, to maintain metadata. Any other way the metadata will be lost.

How can I stabilize an image in Premiere CS5.5

Hi,
I would like to stabilize a video in Premiere CS5.5.
I tried manually with Effect Controls Window in adding key frames in Position, but it doesn’t give a good result.
(I tried to put a key frame on each image, but it doesn’t work. Result was worse than the original. Did not understand why!!)
Does anyone can guide me on a way to stabilize my movie? Can be manually, the video is 3 second long.
Thanks

Unfortunately, my IT service doesn't let me install CS6 for now.....and I don't have After Effects.
So, is that mean there is not solution for me with what I have now?

How does metadata work with Bridge and Premiere?

We are trying to figure out how to start using metadata with bridge. But it doesnt seem to work. I can load an avi file into premiere and change the metadata fields for description or scene or log or whatever, when i load it into premiere i see that data, when i look at it in bridge i don't see any of the metadata.
I can go into bridge and edit the metadata for a file. and when i look at it in bridge it is always there. but looking at that same file in premiere there is no metadata there.
we have 8 premiere workstations on a fibrechannel network solution we edit with. we want to have about 5TB of stock video clips available with metadata that every machine can search and use in projects.

I know nothing about Premiere, but perhaps they use different methods to store data. With Bridge it puts the metadata on the file. With some programs like PS Elements it puts the metadata in a table. With PSE one can select "write metadata to file" and solve problem. Check with Premiere to see how data is stored.
If you are entering keywords a good check is to look with Windows Explorer and see it there are any "tags" listed after entering it in Premiere. WE and Bridge read the same.

How to manage media cache files in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

I hope my question is not too complicated but I still haven't figured this one out.
Here goes:
Whenever I open a project in Premiere Pro, the media cache files used are always the same ones from a prior project.
For example, if I open project ABC, the scratch disk used, the media cache and media cache files are from the ABC project file.
Then, if I open another document, XYZ, the scratch disk and the media cache files are again stored in the ABC project file.
HOW DO I CHANGE THE SETTINGS SO THE SCRATCH DISK AND MEDIA CACHE ARE THE ONES SPECIFIC TO THE PARTICULAR PROJECT I OPEN?
So I don't have to move all the cache files manually or change the settings in Premiere every time I open a project.
Sorry for the long description. Thanks for your help. Daniel Martel. Quebec. Canada.

You can't (unless you want to store them next to the originals, a proposition I find untenable). Some of the scratch disk settings are stored at the project level (things like video and audio previews), but the one's you're talking about are global - one setting for the whole program.

How to export media with in out marker xmp metadata?

When I export media I can save the markers in the XMP metadata. But I can't save in out values. How can I add them to the XMP metadata?

I have given my filenames descriptors, for instance, 0000100 - Jerry rock climbing in Custer State Park SD. Importing into Lightroom allows me to display the filename metadata. Exporting the files generated in Lightroom to Photoshop Elements allows me to then create a slideshow in which I have more audio flexibilities.

What is the best record format to work with in Adobe Premiere CS5?

I typically have been working with videos in MPEG2 but have recently stumbled upon a major problem. I am able to play the MPEG2 footage no problem with VLC, however as soon as I import the file into Premiere the audio plays out of sync with the video. The out of sync audio is not consitantly off by a certain number of frames but instead seems to vary in how well it matches up with the video so I'm not able to manually correct it by cutting and moving the audio around. I have tried re-importing the video file and rendering the timeline but nothing seems to solve it.
We do a lot of broadcasting of events and have to give the footage to clients and so we need to know what format we should be recording in so that we don't have this problem occur again. We are recording via Aver Media from a Tricaster XD850 so we have the options of recording in: MPEG2, AVI, WMA, WMV and H.264. The feed that's being run into the Tricaster is from Sony NX5U camera's recording in 720p30.
Thanks for your help on this, we'd really like to get this problem sorted out.

For SD, I'd probably go with DV AVI.
For HD, I'd go with a UT AVI.

How Do I Achieve Accurate Color in Premiere CS5?

I am running some color test with my Canon T2i. As you can see below I purchased a color card and when I hold up the card to the screen and compare the color card to my monitor the colors look slightly different.
I have played around with saturation but I was wondering if anyone knew of a resource of where I can learn how to match the color card to what I see in Premiere?
Do I fill the frame with the card and then use RGB Parade Monitor?

There are a few things going on here so I will tryand make, hopefully, helpful comments.
First off though... I am not exactly sure what your question is. from what I see you doing. Its kind of 2 questions.
One is Monitor set up and the other is Color Correction.
You appear to be trying to "match" something you shot to a Color Chart. Thats not entirely a real world CC situation. The color chart you are using is essentially a set up device prior to starting a CC. It is not really intended to match color for color. eg skin tone and color is not on any Color Chart or Color Bars.
I am also wondering if you are "over thinking" this.
At the end of the day it all about Color correcting "to your eye" ...but then you need to know that your monitor has not taken you down a path of correcting the innacurate set up in the monitor. Be aware that when you take your "work" out to different monitors, it may look different. This is a time old issue and will never go away but if you start from a properly set up monitor..and its displayed on other properly set up monitors...thats about all you can do.
Put another way: Black, Grey, White (More important than color)
You want these tones (in a grey scale) to reproduce on any and every monitor as accurately as possible.
If you ignore the monitor set up (in Component Video) for the moment ( turn it off even) you can easily set up your image to achieve this perfectly by using the WAVEFORM monitor only. Try that with a Color Bars and see where everything sits. Should be perfect and you will see the logic of bars and the pluges.
If you have a Greyscale chart...shoot it PERFECTLY EXPOSED ...then check that out with a waveform monitor. The Black , Grey and Whites should sit perfectly on the waveform.
Try a CC on the greyscale chart while watching the wavform as you adjust shdows/ highlights / mids . LUMA /GAMMA.
Shoot a pure Grey Card or make one in PPRO (Pure Grey Matte)
Check it out with the vectorscope. There should be a single point in the scope right in the middle. If it has any points outwards...that means that it is not pure grey but has color content (Chroma)
Monitors.
The better you have your monitors set up, the easier it is to get something resembling consistency obviously.
I have never used the Sofftware Hardware mentioned but use : Color Bars, Grey Card Grey Scale and a color chart combined with waveform and vectorscope to set up my monitors .
It is worth learning everything you can about using Standard Color Bars ( as produced by Premiere Pro.) Every chip and Pluge has something to tell you and to aid your monitor set up. The Pluge set up is really important and very simple to set up if you have the controls on your monitor.
These Bars are also what are used in the field to set up monitors.
The original version of On Location ( DV Rack) had excellent instructions on how to set up a monitor based on Color Bars, Pluges and the Blue Only Mode
I do not know if it is still included in the help files of On Location. I will find it later and added it into this thread.
Maybe the serious Magicians at Adobe have easier access to the original document and could post it up?
BTW: WIndows 7 has a very good Monitor Color Management and Set up Tool included ( Advanced Setting)

How do I connect with chat support for CS5 downloading?

I have tried a no. of times to get support chat for my photoshop cs5. I have a new computer and it doesn't have a dvd for downloading my disc. I did talk with support chat and they recommended that I follow a link to download. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
Here I found what I was looking for but it comes in 2 parts. After downloading, I am unable to open anything, and I get the following message: "the file archive part of Flash Pro CS5 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Flash Pro CS5. Please download all parts" I also got 'We've encountered the following issues: installer failed to initialize. File not found, Please download Adobe Support Advisor to date the problem"
I had downloaded part one and two. However, they are separate downloads, and i don't understand why it is telling me to download all parts.
Also, it is very hard finding the chat area which is 24/7. There is a place where you can see the support options, but the Chat option is not active. [The forum option is an active link].
Your help/advice is appreciated.

you need to dl both the exe and the 7z files, put them in the same folder and then double click the exe.

Freezing issues with Nvidia FX4000 & Premiere CS5

Question, I'm editing a 1080p animation project in CS5, on an i7 3GHz, Win7 64bit, with Nvidia FX 4000, 15GB of RAM and about 500GBof disk space, plus an additional 800GB of scratch disk.
I'm editing primarily 32 bit frame sequences with some effects. Less than a minute into the project and about 6 layers deep I freeze when trying to build previews (lost the Mercury Engine after layer 4) and freeze when trying to export, its like I basically get stuck. Why is this happening, it makes no sense, there's enough system resources. Would appreicate any feedback.

You aren't the first to post that an i7 machine with nVidia card seems slow. Search this forum for i7 and slow. I can't recall whether anyone came across a workaround or solution.
Have you checked your power management options? Is it possible the processor is somehow not being brought out of low power mode?
Do you have an alternate video card (e.g., made by ATI) you could try with it?
By the way, make sure and close and restart Photoshop after making configuration changes, just to make sure it's using the changes. Just checking boxes and trying things could mean that it's still using the same old settings and the results are therefore inconclusive.

Edit: Searching this forum is akin to walking on broken glass barefoot. Better try Google.

Premiere CS5 import avi clips without sound. How can I import avi clips with sound without convert?

Dear Adobe Forum,
I have the following problem, please help:
I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
Thank you in advance
Leonardo

But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work.

Loading Encore in Premiere CS5

Hi Guys,
I need to export a project to DVD and I cannot seem to find how to run encore from inside my premiere cs5 project. It is perhaps a dumb question but can someone please help me? Thanks
And also is there a site that hosts templates for premiere? I've been looking around and I'm finding it all real hard.
And ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks
-Simon

I'll take a guess that you're trying to export a DVD directly from the timeline, without any menus. Exporting to Encore via the timeline will render out the video, then open Encore, and burn a DVD all without any prompting beyond the initial filename and options popups. I prefer to export test DVDs this way.
In CS3, for example, this is done by selecting the timeline window (click onto the cursor in the timeline, and you'll see the yellow line around the timeline window) and select File>Export>Export to Encore. If you don't have the timeline selected, the option is greyed out.
I haven't installed CS5 yet, because I'm waiting until I finish my current production, but it should be the same, unless they changed it.
I've seen some nice AE templates on videohive.net, but I haven't seen any Encore template sites.

What is the documetary interview workflow for Story/Premiere CS5.5?

I've looked in vain for the answer to this question, which I'm sure is thoroughly documented SOMEWHERE - I just can't find it. The few things I HAVE found online including at Lynda.com or other paid services involve CS5, which has a different workflow that involves OnLocation; this changed in CS5.5 but I don't see any on-point articles that incorporate the changes.
We've been using Premiere CS5.5 since its release but have never worked with dialogue metadata. At the moment we're working on a documentary with a number of lengthy interviews. In each case the interview subject is talking to an off-camera producer. Accurate transcriptions of the raw interviews have been prepared. Only the interview subject's ANSWERS are transcribed; the producer's questions are not (and are also barely audible on the soundtrack). So, typically, the producer will ask a question and then the subject will give an answer that could be ten seconds or a minute. Then another question, then another answer, all in the one clip.
So what I am looking for is a step-by-step workflow (for someone who has never so much as TOUCHED Adobe Story before) for importing the transcripts into the raw footage and then ultimately having Premiere match the transcript up with the spoken audio, and then maximizing the usefulness of this with the newly annotated clips as source footage. Realizing that the interview answers are separated by barely-audible producer's questions, I assume that one challenge will be to let the software know that it should only be paying attention to the answers, and lining the text up appropriately, and not getting confused by the questions. Perhaps the answers need to be subclipped?
If there's a tutorial on this subject I would very much appreciate being pointed to it. If not, if someone could do a step-by-step (beginning with an empty Premiere CS5.5 project and nothing in Story) I'm sure there must be a number of other folks in my position who would benefit from it.
As a product suggestion: for documentary applications it seems to me that it would be much better to be able to cut and paste text directly from a text editor into Premiere and then let it fit it to the audio instead of going through Story. While I understand it was even more cumbersome prior to CS5.5, I don't think interviews in a documentary need most of what Story offers (unless I'm missing something), so it seems like an unnecessary complication that could be eliminated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter

Well, I tried following your steps, and I'm going wrong somewhere.
I created the film script and four scenes (one for each of four clips), giving the speaker's name as a character name (it's actually the same character in a continuous interview broken into several five-to-ten minute clips). I let Story number the scenes (1 through 4, as expected). I then exported an .astx file.
Within Premiere, I located the four clips and in the Scene column numbered them 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
When I right-click on one of the clips, select "attach script file," and point to the exported .astx file, I get the following error message: "Failed to attach script file to the following clip: \MyProjectName.prproj\FolderNameWIthinProject\00019.mts [Matching scene number not found]" (of course I have replaced the path and folder names in this example with generic names since the actual names reveal my client company's name).
Opening and inspecting the .astx file in a text editor I confirm that it does in fact contain scene numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, for the numbered scenes. Likewise I confirm the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, in the Scene number column for the four relevant clips.
Any idea what the problem is?
