Import a Premiere Pro CS5 project?

Hello,
How do I import a pre project to work on the audio element of it? If I try import or open the premiere project is greyed out. If I try it in Adobe dynamic link it fails on me?!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bradley

HI Bradley
Right click on the audio track & choose edit with adobe Soundbooth render & replace...be careful with what you do though as I am unsure if that means that you are editing the source track...
I also did not have any joy with just using the pre-built remove noise button..it made my audio which is mainly talking sound a little tinny, when it was actually recorded on a good mic.
All a learnig curve I guess...

Errors in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 project!

Hello, when I open up my Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 project, I see that my project has errors in it because of the little red X in the bottom right hand corner.
So i click on it and it pops up with a window that has a list of errors in it. Unfortunately, I dont know what they mean.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Here is a screen shot:

Can you please give us info on the Assets in this Project? What is their format/CODEC, and their location on your system?
Good luck,

Premiere Elements project imported into Premiere Pro CS5.5 becomes unusable after first save

I have Premiere Pro CS5.5, and I have been trying for some time to successfuly edit an old project that was originally created in Premiere Elements (not sure which version--probably 7.0). It has the .prel extension. The project imports just fine, and I am able to edit it initially. However, if I save my new Premiere Pro project, close Pr and try to open the new project again, I get the "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." error message. I have tried many of the various project recovery suggestions people have made in this forum and elsewhere online, but none of them seem to work. I even opened the project in XML Wrench, but there were no errors returned when I clicked "check is well formed." Once I close the project after doing some initial editing, it is gone. Is this a known issue? Is there any way I can be able to edit the old project in Pr and save my work? Thanks!

Have you tried using the project manager to re-copy all elements and timeline etc into a totally new directory. I'm just curious to see if that would make a difference. I'd be intrested to see if when making a new project in this manor if it would because as you have stated the normal save methods haven't.

Can Premiere Elements 10.0 or 9.0/9.0.1 Saved Project.Prel be Imported into Premiere Pro CS5/CS5.5?

The Premiere Pro CS5 Supported Video Project file formats include:
PREL (Adobe Premiere Elements project) (Windows Only)
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiere...a568-8000.html
and we know that the Premiere Elements project file is a project.prel.
Yet if you read the Premiere Elements 10 ReadMe, you see there the statement:
"You cannot import Adobe Premiere Elements 10.0 project into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 or CS 5.5.".
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/907/cpsid_90745.html
The Premiere Elements 9.0 ReadMe has a similar statement about its prel file and Premiere Pro CS5/CS5.5.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/863/cpsid_86324.html
I am wondering if the person who wrote that into the ReadMe forgot to add "for Mac".
Can anyone with both Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 or 10.0 AND Premiere Pro CS5 or CS5.5 (all Windows) confirm what is written in the ReadMe for these version? I do not have Premiere Pro (any version) to confirm and refute what is written in those ReadMe and am looking for someone who has been there and looked at that.
Thanks for any input on this matter.

ATR,
I am still using XP-Pro SP3 on all of my active machines. I am also using PrPro CS2 Production Studio, and PrE 4.0 on only my laptop. I have the recent versions of both PrPro and PrE, but am waiting for my 64-bit Win7 laptop to be built (hang up with Cleveo MoBo's, to be resolved by about May).
When I installed PrE 4.0, it DID break the full CS2 suite, but by that point, Adobe knew of the issue, and had done a KB on the problem. In my case, just doing a Repair Install for each program in the CS2 suite, did the trick, and both programs have run, side-by-side for many years, without a hiccup. However, I have NOT uninstalled any of those Adobe programs, so cannot comment on what might go wrong.
Usually, Adobe programs coexist well. However, PrPro had an issue with CS3 and CS4. If one had both PrPro CS3 and CS4 installed on the same computer, then uninstalled CS3, it took some necessary "pieces" of CS4 with it. Again, the "trick" was to do a Repair Install for CS4, and all was fixed. I have not read of any other, such issues, but they might have just gone unreported, or reported in forums, that I do not frequent.
Wish that I had more to offer, especially regarding PrPro CS 5.5 and PrE 10. I just have not explored those programs, yet - late May?
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing from premiere pro cs5 to after effects cs5

hi, can anyone help me with this problem?
im editing some stuff in premiere pro cs5 and when i import it into after effects cs5 for colour correction and other effects all the transitions that i had from premiere will disappear. if someone can guide me step by step to this process it will be very helpful
Thanks,
Randolph Azzopardi

As Mylenium suggests, there are many ways to move information between Premiere Pro and After Effects.They are all outlined on this page: "Working with After Effects and Premiere Pro"
You didn't specify, but I'll assume as he did that you are exporting a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. That works by converting things from native After Effects to their equivalents in Premiere Pro; sometimes there isn't a good equivalent, so the conversion isn't perfect. The same conversion is done as is done for copying and pasting between After Effects and Premiere Pro. There's a set of tables that describe the conversions here.
The way to get perfect fidelity is to either use Dynamic Link (as Mylenium suggested) or render and export a movie from After Effects and import that into Premiere Pro.

Exporting AE animated signature to Premiere Pro CS5 project

Hi everyone, I created a wonderful animated signature in After Effects CS5 and within Premiere Pro CS5 I imported the AE composition and added it to my initial video, but unfortunately while the animation works fine, the signature has a white rectangular back ground which I failed to make it transparent to show the animated signature only over the video. I would appreciate very much helping me to do that task. Thank you in advance. You are great.

Thank you Rick for your kind prompt response, I appreciate your time. I usually solve all the technical problems I face through my classroom in a book series, or by watching experts videos
but this one I couldn't figure out correctly anywhere, sorry about that. The steps I followed are as follows:
1) I scanned a handwritten signature and I saved as a TIF image
2) I imported the above mentioned image in Adobe After Effects
3) I used the pen tool to mask the signature
4) I created a white solid composition
5) I copied the masks to the White solid composition.
6) I copied the white solid masks to a new video composition with same size of my Premiere pro project 1920x1080 and I started to amend the brush size, hardness...etc under stroke
7) I made the end of the stroke feature to be 0% at the start
8) After 3 sec. I made the end comes back to 100%
9) I checked the animation of the signature and it was great, I made the length of the composition becomes 20 sec in length to match the handwriting natural speed
10) I resized the composition to show a size of my signature which does not exceed a 10% of the quarter of the right corner of my video I opened the Premiere Pro and imported the compostion
11) The composition showed an animated signature in Premiere Pro but with a white background which I failed to make it transparent.
Thank you once more.

AVI file incomplete on import to Premiere Pro CS5

For the past week I have been working with video content created in Camtasia and exported out of Camtasia Studio as AVI files using the Camtasia codec (TechSmith Screen Capture Codec). I then import the footage into Premiere Pro CS5 where I combine it with other elements. I had no problems with this until yesterday when I attempted to import an 18 minute long video created in Camtasia. The video exported fine and I am able to play it in full using Windows Media Player, but when I import it into Premiere, the video is only 2 minutes 38 seconds long (the first 2:38). I have attempted to re-export the video out of Camtasia Studio and attempted to re-import the footage into Premiere several times now, but the result is always the same. Premiere will only import the first 2:38.
I am on a PC running Windows 7 and Premiere Pro CS5. Not sure what other info might be helpful. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Same issue. I previously used NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

Premiere Pro CS5 Project & Sequence Settings

I will be shooting with a Sony NEX-VG10 set at a Record Mode of FH 17M (which I have no clue what it is)
The camera records 1920 x 1080 Full HD videos (I don't know if its 1920x1080i or p) (The user guide that came with the camara doesn't explain much of anything)
The memory card that I will use to record the clips is a 32GB SDHC
I want to know the settings that I should choose to edit the clips in Premiere Pro CS5.
1) Project Settings asks me to select between DV and HDV. Is HDV the right one?
2) Sequence Settings is getting me more confused than I am already:
     In previous projects (with a different camera) I have chosen DV NTSC as I had set the Project as DV but also because of the NTSC
     In the Sequence Settings if I go along with HDV it doesn't give me the NTSC option but it lists several 1080i and 1080p options.
     Which one should I choose?
Finally, when I am all done I will burn an HD DVD with Encore.
I am assuming that using the same edited video I could also burn an SD DVD: is that possible?
The whole project will probably turn a 45 min. video.
Thanks for your help.

Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly.
When creating a new project I have to specify location, name, etc... PLUS I also have to indicate the capture format
No, you don't. You can hit cancel. If you've shot on media cards, you have no need to Capture.
Secondly, comes the Sequence Settings where there are a bunch of available presets listed such AVCHD, DV-24P, DV-NTSC, DV-PAL and so on... also HDV.... and within each one there are further options for example under HDV: 1080i 25, 1080i 30, 1080p etc....
Which one is the one I should choose?
That's already been explained in this thread. And it's also covered thoroughly in the Pr Help documentation.
If understand correctly you are suggesting that I forget this screen and just add my clips and create New Sequence from Clip. This you say will automatically attach to it the proper preset. Pardon my ignorance but I can't figure out how it will work. Will I have a new sequence for each clip?
Right. Have you even tried it yet? You can select a bunch of clips, and drag them to the New Sequence icon also. They'll all be added to a new Sequence based on the source clip's settings.
Finally, when I mentioned I will burn an HD DVD I meant: a High Definition DVD and also was considering burning a Standard Definition DVD and was asking if it would be possible.
You're using incorrect terminology. There is no HD DVD. There is DVD, and there is Blu-Ray. The different formats have different names.

Problem with Premiere Pro CS5 project files bloating

Has anyone had the same problem that we're experiencing? - we have Production Premium CS5 installed on a machine with Win 7 Pro x64. We have three separate edits all of which are experiencing bloating of the .prproj project file. Often this bloating seems to occur when no importing of assets has occured, just changes in the edits. A project which started at 5mb has bloated to 1.5GB and we can no longer save it. Another project has bloated to 200mb and continues to grow in size. We have not brought in any weird assets, although we are using hi-def footage.
We upgrade from CS3 and never had this problem using Premiere CS3.
We can't fix the problem by 'remove unused footage' as this doesn't reduce the project size, although it does remove the unused footage.
We can't fix it by importing the project into a new clean project as the problem and huge file size just comes with
We can't fix it by using the project manager to collect up the project as it requires to save before collecting and the problem files can't be saved.
A couple of points to note - these projects were originally on Premiere CS3 and were upgraded to CS5. The footage is either Sony EX3 or Canon 5D - both HD.
The machine it's running on has 8gb of RAM.
Currently the projects I'm working on are gradually grinding to a hold with no way to make the files usable again.
Any suggestions are greatfully recieved as I'm at a loss. I've reported this to Adobe, and will report back if I get anything useful.
thanks.

TClark,
I'm shocked that you are having the same problem on a mac. This seems to suggest a problem that could be really widespread. You've also beaten my 1.5GB file bloat size.
What the hell is going on with Premiere Pro? I'm surprised to have heard nothing from Adobe either via my support request or on this forum, save for Jeremys useful work around, considering how serious an issue this is.
I've had to break all the projects I'm working on which have multiple timelines in each project into a new seperate project per timeline in order to reduce the file bloat problem and reduce the risk of me loosing all my work in one go on a bloated file.
Adobe - we could do with some help here. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on licences for this software only to have virtually non-existant help when a serious flaw in the software manifests itself.
Nat
Yeah...it's really a bummer that no one is acknowledging it. It's pretty serious!
I hope Dennis jumps in soon!

Canon Vixia hfm31 videos (MTS) won't import into Premiere Pro CS5

I have a lot of footage on a Canon Vixia HFM31 HD Camcorder. Yesterday I tried to import into Premiere and got an error message saying the MTS format was not supported.
The clips DID import with iMovie.
Do I need to purchase a converter from a 3rd party vendor to be able to get MTS footage from the Vixia into Premiere. Seems strange that it worked so seamlessly with iMovie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you open the New Sequence dialog, does it look like this:
...or do you have significantly fewer presets available? If you have less, your installation has been reverted to trial mode--this is a problem that occurs after updating Premiere. If so, the only way to get back to full operating status is to reinstall the software.
Specifically, what you need to do is:
Deactivate your installation (Help > Deactivate)
Uninstall Premiere/Production Premium/Master Collection. Reboot.
Download and run the Adobe CS5 Clean Tool. Reboot.
Repeat step 3 at least once more, preferably two or three more times
Reinstall and reactivate Premiere, and then update
It's a pain, indeed, but it's the only way to get back up and running.
If, however, you do have all the presets, give us some more detail on the files and how you're trying to import them.

Is there a way to import a Premiere Pro CS5.5 project into FCPX without going through FCP7?

...because that part of it is giving me trouble. It's a huge project, and while PPCS5.5 exports the FCP XML just fine, when FCP7 starts to import it I get a bunch of "looking for movie in file...x" messages and then it crashes. When I select the option to try to find the file it says it wants, that file is always grayed out.
A lot of people may be making this same switch if FCPX is full-featured again. Does anyone know a way to make it without involving FCP7?
Thanks...

Hi...
Download Resolve Light from BlackMagicDesign.
It will import the PPRO Project and can export it to FCPx XML.
I use it and it works a charm and only takes minutes.

Premiere Pro CS5 project sudenly extremely slow on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I've been using Adobe CS5 for a little over two years. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro.
I am working on a freelance project for a big client. In the last 48 hours or so the processing speed of the project has been getting slower and slower. The rest of my computer's processing is fine, it is only when I try to do anything in Premiere in this one specific project. It is now to the point where I can't really do anything in the project.... If I try to make an edit (for example, trimming a clip, adding a cross dissolve, changing the scale of a clip, etc.), what should take less than 1 second to process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes. This is obviously highly abnormal.
I can't figure out why it is doing this. I have some pretty big files in the project, but I doubt it making it slow down this much.
Help anyone??

2.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor
16gb RAM (upgraded from 8gb)
Intel HD Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
It wasn't exactly going smooth on the 2011 one, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the one I have now.
I don't know if this is relevant, but video games run much better on the new one.
Also I cant select GPU under ray-tracing in the AE preferences > Previews > GPU Information. It says 'GPU not available - incompatible device or CUDA driver'. I've installed the CUDA driver, but I suppose it's worthless since I don't have an NVidia graphics card?
I don't know too much about hardware, but I hope it helps

WMV audio not importing into Premiere Pro CS5.5/CS6

I have two Win7 machines running CS5.5 and CS6 respectively. Prem Pro imports and edits the video sequence of a batch of wmv files recently referred to me for processing but does not show the audio at all. The files play perfectly in Windows media player. I presume there is a codec somewhere on my machines that wmplayer is using but how can I get Prem Pro to use it??? I don't usually use WMV but I have found some other wmv files which import nomally i.e. sound track included. Loading the files into Handbrake lists the audio for the successfully imported files as Source: English (wmav2) (2.0 ch) Codec: AAC (faac) Bitrate: 160. The files that Prem Pro does not import the sound for, list identically except that the source is shown as Unknown rather than English. All other details (wmav2 etc exactly the same.
Thanks

Audio synched on Quicktime videos until imported into Premiere Pro CS5

I have Quicktime HD footage that has been cut into several QT videos that works perfectly (in the QT player) before it is imported into PP. Once I import the videos the audio is slightly off at the beginning of the timeline and continues to get worse throughout the project.
I have tried clearing my media cache and reimporting the videos and have not found anything that works.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Unfortunately, I do not have any suggestions there, but perhaps others will.
I use the MainConcept H.264, but have to admit that I do not do that much work to H.264.
Good luck, and I am sure that others will have just what you need,

Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

Hello Community:
I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project. I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours. I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks,
Rich Locus
