Imported Sony F55 footage into Premiere and AME is overexposed.

I am importing a series of .mxf files into AME directly into AME in order to save JPG sequences, however, we are encountering an unexpected issue. It looks like it's not properly processing the color space for these source clips and most of the exported frames are clipping or over exposed. Using the Sony RAW Viewer outside of Premiere, the clips look just fine.
Is there a way to tell AME to use a particular color profile, in order to correctly process and export the clips? Since CC came out everyone says these files import "natively", but it doesn't appear to natively handle the color out-of-the-box. Since I'm using AME, vs Premiere, I assume the setting would have to accessible in the export module?
EDIT: Dug around the RAW Viewer a bit more and it appears to be using the Cine+709 Profile in AME by default. This is purely based on observation as the image in the viewer matches the preview in AME. When I select a different option, such as LC_709 in the RAW Viewer, you get back a lot of that detail.
So the trick now is getting AME to chance which profile / LUT it uses. I'll keep plugin away but any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

I'm having some joy with MPEG Streamclip.
If I convert my files to AVI with the setting Apple DV then I get files that look reasonable and are not jumpy in PP. They do appear a little pixellated and I need to switch audio to uncompressed otherwise it removes the audio.
Also there seems to be no option for Type 2. (You can select codec, and these include PAL DV, PAL DVPRO, etc. but not much else for export type)
Is this the kind of approach you were thinking?
Thanks,
Rob

Importing HD (AVCHD) Footage into Premiere Pro CS3 (windows)

Hi guy's the question is pretty much in the title.
Is it possible to import HD (AVCHD) footage into Premiere (with or without aditional software)?
Thanks.

What I can't figure out is why such a major format does not have native support in in Premiere CS3.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
This is a format that has been adopted by Sony and Panasonic and is compatible with most blue-ray players and even the Play Station 3. So why would so many of the small software companies, in competition with Adobe, have recognized the importance of the format and come up with solutions to read and edit the format when Adobe has not?
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403297&sliceId=2
I've been coming back to Adobe's web site for months hoping to find they are working on a solution and I have found nothing. I have been a huge fan of Adobe software for years and have pumped many a pay check in keeping my Adobe software current, the most recent being the purchase of the CS3 Master Suite. I'm not trying to bash the company but Adobe if your listening I really want to know want to know what the real story is. This goes beyond the "we are just busy and will get to it when can" statements I have been seeing on the adobe sites. It looks to me as though some other deal has been made and Adobe does not want to talk about why they are not incorporating the AVCHD format into Premiere CS3.

Porblems importing Canon C300 footage into Premiere Pro CC 2014: only import 30 seconds

Hi! I'm having problems importing Canon C300 footage into Adobe Premiere Pro 2014. I'm taking the files directly from the media browser to I can only import the first 30 seconds of each clip.
Why can be that? Do I need a specific plugin?
Thaks for your help

Since you did not perform the copy process yourself, my thinking is that maybe something went wrong when it was done. Far too many people don't understand or follow the process that works.
My recommendation would be to get your hands on the cards and do it again, making sure to use only Explorer or Finder for the task.

CS3 - Can I Import AVCHD footage into Premiere and if so, how ?

Hello All;
Can you tell me if I can Import AVCHD footage (Like from a Panasonic Professional Camcorder) into Premiere CS3 ? My version doesn't recognize the .MTS files that the camcorder generates. If there is any way to import AVCHD footage, could you tell me how ? Thanks.

How do I ingest Sony FS7 footage into Premiere Pro?

Hi! I was told the Sony FS7 footage can natively ingest into Premiere. But my footage is crashing every time I try to import. Any ideas?

Perhaps depends on the camera. I've ,,, in my little experience ... come across some that was. Don't remember which brand/camera was used ... but it was a total stopper. It was the first AVCHD I'd worked with, and I copied (as is not uncommon for the uninitiated) the folders that seemed to have actual video content. Finally got VLC to play it from my computer, but it was only video ... so after a bit of learning over the net, figured out the error of my ways. Sure enough, soon as I added the folder that seemed to have something odd in it but not video ... I had sound. And from the things I've seen around here with the problems of those that have trouble with sound in AVCHD (among other things) ... perhaps I'd just assumed the same thing applied universally.
I've done only a little AVCHD with my GH3, just enough to test out the comments from others that the AVCHD was noisier than the MOV files ... which, yes, they are. Not terribly, but ... MOV is simpler to work with, why shoot a noisier codec?

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.

Why would an After Effects comp be imported without the sound into Premiere?

Hi, everyone. I hope someone can help me out with this. Basically I have a comp with lots of .mts video files and .mp3 audio ones. AE crashes when rendering, blaming the MTS files. I don't fancy converting all the MTS to MOV (huge difference in terms of size), then replacing them with the new MOVs.
I was therefore hoping to be able to import the AE comp into Premiere and render from there. Rendering the video is not a problem, but for some reason there is no sound... Anyone know why this may be?
I am working with CS4.
Thank you!

You may not fancy converting the mts files, but you have to because you run AE 9. If you had AE 10, you wouldn't have to do that.
And you should never, EVER use mp3 files in AE if you want a good-sounding audio track. Or in your case, any kind of audio. In fact, you should never use ANY kind of compressed audio. Stick with wav and aiff files.
So quit wringing your hands and start convertin' them files!

Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude. It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips. Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting. Don't select the Transcode option.
Cheers,

Import jpeg from photoshop into premiere pro CS5 and keep exact proportions.

We are trying to insert jpegs into the timeline of a project that was captured DV movie frame 720 x 480. A graphics person has created jpegs with the frame size of 1440 x 960. When I import that into Premiere, we have a black space above and below the safe margins when I scale to frame size and am first wondering if that will be ok. When I change the image size to 720 x 480 and import that and put it in the timeline, the pictures seem to be a little elongated. Can you please tell me how to import the jpegs into premiere and keep the exact proportions for the jpegs?

By changing the pixel aspect ratio to 720 x 534, all works perfectly now. Thank you for the help.

Importing DVC PRO 50 footage into Premiere Pro

I recently imported some DVC PRO 50 footage into Premiere Pro. I used a rented DVC PRO 50 deck via firewire 400. The footage came in at 480 x 720. Is this the actual resolution of that format or is it the default setting in the Premiere Pro import module? A few months ago, I imported some HD footage from a tape format using the videographer's camera via Firewire. It also came in at 720 even though it was supposed to be 1080 footage. Is there a way to set a target resolution in the PP import module before importing? Or does it bring in whatever resolution the source has?

DVCPRO50 is standard definition footage at 50Mbps. So 720x480 is correct.

Can no longer import mp4 (XDCAM) footage into CS4

Hopefully somebody will be able to help me with this!
I am trying to import some Sony EX1 (mp4) footage into Premiere CS4, but am getting the following error message:
“file import failure: Error message – the importer reported a generic error”
I have done this process on many occasions over the last year or so and experienced no problems whatsover.
But for some reason I am no longer able to import the mp4 files...or even access these file types in historic projects!
I have checked the footage in the Sony clip browser in it seems fine, and plays fine when opened with a VLC player, so am a bit stumped to what the problem could be.
(For info, I am using a PC with 8gb RAM and a Quadro CX. I did have After Effects installed a month ago back and switched to VISTA. All Adobe updates have been installed, and I have sufficient memory)
Thanks in advance for any pointers or assistance

Of course using Premiere CS3 I have the problem of the audio constantly cutting out on the XDCAM MP4 files, so I really could do with a solution to this problem in CS4 asap - can anyone else help?
It is definitely a new problem for me, which almost certainly revolves around the impoter process. It did not affect my editing until 2-3 months ago but suddenly now renders CS4 Premiere more or less useless, on both on my laptop and my main PC.
It is possible that the problem only affects projects where one of the XDCAM files is very long and/or was originally saved across two separate cards at the time of recording. In which case it may not be a new problem, simply one I had not encountered before because I'd notg used any such long files.

Premiere (and AME) will not export 23.98 DV NTSC properly

Half an hour of frustrated internet and message board searching have brought me no closer to a solution. I'd be grateful for someone's help. I can't be the first person to have encountered this problem, but no one else seems to be talking about it.
I have HD footage that was shot at 23.976. I've edited it in a 23.976 timeline, and when I export to Quicktime in its native codec (which is Cineform) or any other codec, at 23.976, I get a 23.976 file. No problem.
But when I try to export DV/NTSC 24p, it SAYS it's going to export at 23.976, but then when I open up the resulting file, it's at 29.97 and there are extra interpolated frames added. Same thing happens if I try to convert it after the fact with AME from a 23.976 HD export.
It's driving me apeshit. I need a true 24p DV-NTSC quicktime for the sound mix, and I'm at a total loss for how to create one, short of switching (back) to FCP.
So what gives?
Details:
I'm on an iMac 21" running Premiere and AME CS6, thought I've tried it also in CC and get the same result.

I'm not trying to be difficult or contrary. Honestly, I'm not. And I'm not "unwilling to take the input from the other posters". But so far none of the other posters have actually answered my question, and one of them got snippy with me when I pointed out why his solution was not valid for my particular problem.
People have suggested various reasons why it can't be done, but I know it can be done because I've done it. And I've posted the evidence. The Quicktime in the picture above plays fine out of the firewire DV port. It imports properly into Pro Tools at the proper frame rate, while maintaining the proper timecode. This particular example doesn't have timecode burned into the video, but on ones that do, a pulldown to 29.97 means that I no longer get frame-accurate timecode on the video. It also means that the sync pops can drift half a frame because they are now in 29.97instead of 23.976. It means that I can't import the video into a Pro Tools project that already has a 23.98 video in it, since Pro Tools won't let you mix frame rates. It also means that I can't do my sound editing with frame-accurate video, which is unacceptable. So this is not a solution to my problem.
Others have suggested that I just use a different codec. That's not a solution to my problem either, since I need it to be DV/DVCPRO. I didn't invent Pro Tools and I have no control over what formats it will accept for firewire output. So that's also not a solution to the problem.
To everyone who has answered so far, thank you for your input. I appreciate it. I'd be really grateful if anyone could chime in with an answer to my original question: How do I create a standard definition DVCPRO 24p Quicktime in Adobe? Maybe the answer is that "Adobe doesn't have this functionality". But that's a different answer than "It can't be done, period."

CANNOT IMPORT FCP .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

Hi,

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,

Problem importing some .MOV files into Premiere Elements 11

Hello,
I am trying to import film footage into Premiere Elements 11 and am coming across a rather confusing problem. All of the footage is in .mov format and all of it was taken on the same device on the same day with the same settings.
When I try to import the footage, some files import ok, others will not import at all and I get a message saying 'The importer reported a generic error'. It seems very odd to me that some .MOV files are OK and others are not.
This same footage can easily be imported into Premiere Elements 10 and into Windows Movie Maker - which makes me think the issue is with Premiere Elements 11.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks

What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? Did you use Premiere Elements to get the video from the camcorder to your computer?
Have you ensured you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer?
