Import Sony Vegas files to Premiere CS5

I have a movie that was cut in Sony Vegas and exported as a wmv.. I am trying to import it to Adobe Premiere and I keep getting a "header error"...
How can I get this movie file in here???

Does the clip play in Windows Media Player? Wondering if it is corrupt, as it ought to work in Premiere

Can't import .mxf video files in Premiere CS5

Hi all!
I've just installed Premiere CS5 and imported some .mxf files to a project. But premiere just recognizes the audio tracks, it don't recognizes the video one.. it's like it was a simple audio file.. and i can see the video outside premiere.. anyone knows why is this happening?
With cs4 i never had this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you're not using the trial version :
if you can't import XDCAM EX files using the Media Browser, which will only import what Premiere needs, then there is something wrong with your installation.

Some problems to import AFX CS6 file into PREMIERE CS5

Hi and thank you for your help
My problem after an update from AFX CS5 to AFX CS6:
I work with Premiere CS5. I arranged some clips X, Y, and Z. Now I would like to transform clip Y into an AFX compositon. I have PREMIERE CS5, AFX CS5 and AFX CS6. If I click "transform into AFX composition" AFX CS6 will open. Now I could do my work in AFX CS6 but when I'm finished and go back to PREMIERE. PREMIERE CS5 wont work with this new AFX CS6 file. It appears an empty dialog box with COMPOSITION but there is no COMPOSITION I can select.
My question:
I work with PREMIERE CS5 how can I change the AFX version from CS6 back to CS5 ?
Thank you very much folks!!

Just to clarify... you are asking how to change the dynamic link out of Premiere so it opens AFX CS5 instead of AFX CS6, correct?
Sorry to say I do not have an answer to that. But if you are working with just one clip ("Y" in your example) then you could begin a new AFX CS5 project (through the normal AFX open process), import that one clip, do your thing, save it, and then import the AFX CS5 project into Premiere CS5. Not as elegant as what you hoped for, so hopefully someone can answer your original question.

No sound when importing AVCHD MTS files into premiere cs5.5

Hello
I have footage that was shot with the sony nx sf-100 and it is ACVHD mts files.
when I import the files to the bin, it is being imported without sound (no sound track at all when dragged into the timeline).
The footage has sound - that has been confirmed.
I am working in an AVCHD sequence and I'm importing the files using the media browser.
There are many refrences to this problem online - but all give the solution of recompresing the videos in a new format, although every documentaion cliams that premiere is supposed to take AVCHD natively including sound.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks,
Oded

My apologies. I beleive I mixed up my versions for support. 5.5.x should support PCM audio. Thank you, Jeff.
I have confirmed that I am indeed getting audio with files from a Sony NEX FS-100 camera, with CS5.5.2 on my systems. Oded, would it be possible to send me a sample file that exhibits this issue for you?
Things to try are deleting your Media cache (Preferences > Media > Media Cache Database, click Clean button). Make certain that your copy of Premiere Pro is activated: check under Help menu you should see "Deactivate..." noted.
Thank you.

CANNOT IMPORT FCP .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

Hi,

Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
Error            :- failed to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
I tried to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the error messege "The selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got the error "Codec missing or unavailable"
what should i do???..i almost done all the editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
Good luck,

.MOD files in Premiere CS5

I am trying to import .MOD files into Premiere CS5, with no joy.
If I change the file extension to .MPG, Premiere can import the video, but no audio.
Can anyone advise on how I can import .MOD files successfully, with both video and audio?
Many thanks

Oh boy, JVCs ill fated .mod file extension. I hate this thing. Hate it. It's next to impossible to do anything with. When i first got a JVC tapeless cam in 2004 it ran this extension. All I used with it was the pack in software that worked fine. Well over the years I started using more advanced cams and more advanced software. A year ago I wanted to go back to that old cam and use some old footage for a DVD project, in PrPro cs4. It was a nightmare. I finally, FINALLY, found the answer after using several NLEs, converters, and such to get it to work in adobe. So here's what I found:
from my experience, basically all interactions with JVC tapeless media has left little to be desired. i have done many dvds in .mod format because i had gotten the very first JVC tapeless cam in 2004ish. the .mod files are.... almost imposible to work with, outside of using cyberlink. i tried sony. i tried adobe. i tried FCP and all results... were dismal. (i was filming in 16x9 the rograms that DID read .mod, which was Vegas, would not accurately flag the footage as Widescreen) the ONLY way i could get the widescreen footage to show up as widescreen other than using cyberlink software was to use
http://www.cyberlink.com/products/mediaespresso/overview_en_US.html
and convert to a straight up no strings .mpg2 file. then it worked in the other NLEs. So basically the only way I could successfully import and edit a .mod file with premierepro was to use that converter.

Editing AVCHD files in Premiere CS5 – juddery movement

Hi all,
Just got a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder – it shoots 1080p @ 50fps (PAL). The format is “.mts”, with AVCHD compression.
Anyway, the issue I have is that when I import the files into Premiere CS5 to edit (Premiere says it supports the native files) – whenever the camera moving, the movement is very jerky, and also blurry during a pan. But when I play back the clip on the camcorder itself, or directly out of it via HDMI, it’s crystal clear with perfect movement.
Firstly – I am making a composition that matches the clip settings.
Secondly - my machine is very fast & can handle the files, so it’s not a processing issue.
And thirdly, they still judder when rendered (as H.264) – so it’s not just an “un-rendered media” issue.
Any Googling I’ve done seems to bring up similar issues with editing AVCHD files, but no solid solution yet. People are saying that I should transcode the files before importing into CS5 (but with no consensus on the format or software to use), and there is also a general consensus that AVCHD is a great playback format, but not the best for editing.
And what’s also odd is that the Panasonic website seems to offer the EXACT software that would seem to fix my issue, but when I click the link it’s not there!
See here: http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/avchd-home.asp
Scroll down to “Software” and it says “AVCHD to P2 DVCPRO HD Transcoder” – editing P2 files would be ideal, as I’ve done this before off a P2 camera - but when I click the link, it brings me to a page with all sorts of software & utilities, but I can’t even find the words “AVCHD” or “DVCPRO” it mentioned on that download page!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
KP.

Hi John - it doesn't have a 1080i setting.
Here is a link to a file I shot on this camera - I imported it into CS5, made a new sequence to match eth footage (i.e. dragged it onto the "New Item" icon) and re-encoded the AVCHD file to a H.264 "Vimeo HD" preset in CS5.
It's blurry, juddery, horrible footage during any sort of movement!
http://www.maxtronmedia.com/grove/panasonic.mp4
Yet, on the camera's own LCD (and on a TV through the camera's HDMI output), this footage looks immaculate. And yes, I tried capturing footage through the HDMI cable into my Matrox Mini and it's interlaced all over the place & pretty-much un-usable.
Suggestions?
I just printed an Amazon returns label, so I'm probably going to send the camera back... now I just need to hope the box is still in my green bin! :/

Import/Open SVG Files in Fireworks CS5!

Hey,
I really need to import/open SVG files in Fireworks CS5. I have been searching the Web for days now, but I can't find anything. The reason for this is that I get thousands of files sent to me in SVG format that I needto incorporate into my designs made in Fireworks. I solve it today by opening the files in Illustrator, copy each one of them, paste in Fireworks... WTF!
So please tell me someone made this easy for me?
Many thanks!

I also have this problem. I didnt exatly find a solution, however here's the way i learnt to use .svg without losing editability in Fireworks.
1. Download Inkscape as suggested by Joyce Evans Erb. Here
2. Open the SVG file you need to work with in Inkscape.
3. Go to File > Save As and select .eps (Encapsulated PostScript)
4. Open the saved .eps file in Fireworks.
Now you might get a bit of unnecessary space around the file but it should work out just fine.
Also, if you havn't already go check out thenounproject.com . It's a great resource for us Fireworks types.
As a final note, i'd just like to plead with Adobe to put a bit more effort into Fireworks. It's a great program that i feel is being dragged along with the suite. (Hope to see some really awesome stuff in Fireworks CS6.5 *wink* )

How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't support MKV formats. To import MKV to Premiere Pro CS6, a recommended solution is to convert MKV to AVI.
I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert MKV to AVI. Finally, I summarised three solutions:
First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app. It supports nearly any videos including MKV format and has Mac version and Windows version.
Cons:
1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;
2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.
Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting MKV to AVI. I just test one of them. It's professional yet easy to use and the service is excellent. And there is a step by step guide about how to use this tool .
Cons:
1. Most of them are not free.
Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.
Cons:
1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;
2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

I am unable to import a SWF file in Premiere Pro

Please indicate how to import an SWF file into Premiere Pro. I tried to import as an movie, but it would not work.

Hello,
As of Adobe Premiere Pro 7.1, you cannot import FLV files directly into Adobe Premiere Pro. While working with FLV footage, use Adobe Media Encoder to import the FLV files and transcode the FLV files into a supported file type. For example, use the H.264 format.
After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder still support the import of FLV files.
FLV file export is still available within Adobe Premiere Pro.

Importing .sfk Sony Vegas files

Hello,
My friends recently recorded at a studio at which they were using Sony Vegas 9. I have the .sfk files and I have all the .wav files from all the takes. Rather than try to puzzle together the takes from 14 songs, I was hoping there is a way to import the .sfk files... but I can't seem to find anything about it. Has anyone done this before?

spectorjohn wrote:
Thanks. I haven't had an opportunity to fully play around and see what is there, but a quick look is worrying. There are about 1,000 wav files and although they are named for what mic they represent (ie: bass, right tom etc), the rest of the file is just a default numbering scheme that doesn't seem to relate to anything other than in which order that file was recorded. I was hoping I could import his sfk files and have the times for where the edits are.
That sounds like an impossible task as the sfk files don't contain that kind of info, it's just data for a graphic rendition of the wav file.
Question... are the wav files at least separated by song.. a folder that holds all the files to song1, song2 etc...?
If so import all of the files to one song, select all files (Apple key + A) then under the regions menu select "move regions to original record position".

Importing .avi file into Premiere CS5 and losing on quality

Hello Adobe users,
I'm having a problem with importing my material in Premiere CS5. It's file extension is .avi and I'm not sure which step I do wrong to get his but it's pretty important to me to find out what's the problem.
Every time I try to import material which was captured on another computer, I get it all lossy in Premiere and it's really obvious.
Maybe I make mistake with opening new project?
I'm not sure which camera is used, but I'm sure it's Panasonic and it films in cinemascope (widescreen).
I would really appreciate your help here!
Thanks in advance, Filip!

Flip,
Welcome to the forum.
AVI can hold all sorts of things, and those will be all important in addressing your problem. This ARTICLE goes into more detail, and shows how to "peek inside the AVI wrapper." Please let us know what CODEC is used in that file.
How are you Importing/Capturing the AVI file?
What Sequence Preset was chosen?
Good luck,

Importing *.scc file crashes premiere cs5.5

I keep trying to import the *.scc closed caption files to attach to a sequence and it crashes on all 3 of my Adobe CS5.5.3 systems.
I've tried 12 different SCC files to go with the various timelines and they all crash.

I am using the Matrox MX02 Mini and LE on 3 different machines with Adobe Premiere CS5.5 (last updates on that too).
I can get it to export fine with Clsoed Captions, although via S-Video/Component, the closed captions do get lost on occassion and we had to re-export everything to tape via Firewire IEEE1394.
The real answer is exporting firewire on a standard NTSC timeline with the Mercury Engine Playback turned off and also the old LEGACY IEEE1394 driver installed on Windows 7 - and NOTHING from Matrox or any 3rd party to work for us.

Issue with importing H.264 files into Premiere Pro CS6

I have some AVI files that will not import into Premiere Pro CS6 (not trial version). The Gspot utility says they are H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format and that the codec is installed. I can see and play the files in Bridge but when I try to import it says “Unsupported format or damaged file”. I tried importing in CS5.5 and the file imported, however only the audio plays. Why is this happening and how can I import these files?

Premiere does not support H.264 in an avi.
You need to convert first.
