Importing a prores xml from fcp7 into premiere cs6

I'm finally making the switch from FCP7 to CS6. I'm trying to import an xml of a prores (1080p, 23.98, prores lt) sequence from FCP 7. It doesn't have any effects, titles, etc in it, yet Premiere keeps giving me the file import error ("this project contained a sequence that cannot be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type").
I made sure that I created a sequence setting/preset that matches my prores sequence from FCP. If I try exporting the xml from FCP as a DV or DVCPROHD sequence, it imports just fine in Premiere. It just won't import the prores sequence (which is a bummer because all my FCP projects use ProRes).
I'm on a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and Premiere Pro 6.0.2.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

I have a similar issue with a film I am trying to bring into PP from FCP. I will need to lift sequences from this film into a longer compile and add new sequences, and since FCP 7 is now dead in the water it makes sense to transfer my entire workflow to PP CS6. However, on import the XML file is showing fine in the timeline, but the sequence settings do not seem to have been imported properly and I am getting a 4:3 aspect frame ratio on a film that was 1440/1080, 16:9, square pixel, Pro Res HQ in FCP.
I have tried to set up a custom sequence in PP with the same settings and also with the frame set to 1920;1080, but no matter what i do I cannot seem to get the XML file to import correctly.
I have downloaded and installed the Pro Res codecs to Library/Quicktime but that does not seem to have worked.
Anyone else got a a bright idea? Otherwise I will need to continue this project in FCP, which does not seem like the right thing to do any more....

Audio incorrectly translated in XML from FCP7 to Premiere Pro

Hi,
I'm sure others are dealing with this also, XMLs from FCP7 to Premiere 6.0.2 not translating audio levels correctly. I'm working on 10 episodes @ 30 min each and the rough cut of approx. 450 to 500 shots, all the audio is faded to -999db!?! Is there a work around for this? Whern I export an XML from the newly created Premiere project and import that into a new Premiere project, there's crazy keyframes all over the place so I really don't know what's going on!
Any advice would be so much appreciated!
My system -
Mac pro 4,1 - OS 10.8.3
Premiere pro 6.0.2
Drivers up to date...
Thanks in advance,

Hi Kevin,
Yes I have filled out a bug report. I've since learned a 'fixit' though, which is to select all the audio and right-click and choose 'Remove Effects' from the menu and then click 'Volume' from the 'Intrinsic Effects' section and click 'Ok'. This set all volume back to 0db. I'm just moving over to Adobe from many years in FCP (common scenario at the moment...) and as such, still learning all the little tricks etc.
Cheers,
danny
EDIT: Obviously if you're importing a rough cut from FCP7 this 'fixit' doesn't work because all audio work will be lost. I've had to set a key frame on each audio clip to maintain all the audio work that had been done... Very frustrating!

Importing MPEG-2 .MOV from JVC into Premiere Pro CC

hi all, first post on this forum, i am josh.
down to business. i have been having trouble with premiere pro, i am tasked with editing footage for a promotional video for a college. the footage was recorded on two seperate cameras, first was a JVC HM100, second is a Canon 1100D.
now we have most of our footage, and i have looked through it when i was on a mac, but then we i went home to do it at home on my PC running Windows 8.1 and Premiere Pro CC, i tried to import the JVC footage and it says the Codec is missing. but when i import the footage from the Canon, it works fine, so i have to right codec to play mov. but as far as i know, it is todo with the JVC recording with MPEG-2. now converting the footage works, but it is extremely time staking and i think it is reducing the qaulity a bit. i just want to know if there is another way for me to fix the file and import it into Premiere Pro CC. or a different conversion method. i am using handbrake currently as i know the programme and i can change a lot of quality settings. i have a lot of little files to convert, it isnt a case of a few big files, its over 30 little files, so i would like a working queueing feature if i convert file.
to summarise.
i can import MOV files that were filmed on a JVC camera but i can import files that were filmed on Canon camera, and i beleive it is todo with MPEG-2, that is what i gathered from other posts and forums.
thanks in advance for any help, i hope i gave you all the info you need.

MOV is a wrapper (just like the plastic wrapper on a loaf of bread) so you need to determine what is inside the wrapper (white, whole wheat... ???)

Can't import MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6

Can't import 50Mbps MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6 but I can import it into CC. Any workarounds to get it into CS6?
Another odd thing is that I can import the 50Mbps MOV from the GH4 into CS6 but can't play it using Windows Media Player (for quick review before importing) like I can the MP4. If someone knows how to get the MOV from the GH4 to play with Windows Media Player I'd start using that format instead of the MP4. Odd thing is that the 50Mbps MOV recorded with my GH3 can play in Windows Media Player.

I updated to the latest version CS6 and that solved the MP4 import problem. Still working on the other issue.

Importing from a DVD into Premiere CS6 and MPG files.

HI I'm new to this forum and to CS6. I'm well versed in CS3 Premiere and other earlier versions.
I have a problem importing the VOB files from a DVD into Premiere CS6. I copied the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD onto my hard drive and successfully imported the 3 VOB files that made up the 1 hour video. Upon placing them into a sequence (720 x 576 25fps DV PAL to match the DVD) I found that when I played over a join between the VOB files, the picture and sound briefly broke up. Is this normal? There is no encryption on the DVD.
I then used MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD to a MPG2 with MP2 audio file (thereby avoiding a decode and the subsequent recode when I encode the edited version, I.E. DVD is MPEG2 so I want to extract the video with the minimum of processing.) I tried to import this into Premiere but after it thought about it for a while, the resulting icon in the Project Window indicated that the file was not usable. Indeed it was not. I deleted it...... and then imported it again. It worked! This is not just a one-off occurrence. Any thoughts?
Premiere is fully updated along with all the other programs in CS6. Using Windows 7 64 bit.
bye Andrew

I have same issue too.
Who can help me
Used "Media Encoder" encore three . VOB(form DVD) files to WMV.
And used Premiere to import the file between the VOB files,
the sound briefly broke up.
If change to import .VOB form dvd,the sound briefly broke up too.
thanks!

When importing rendered clips from davinci into premiere they look darker and more contrasty.

After importing the graded and rendered clips from davinci into premiere pro cc they look darker and more contrasty. I've checked the exported files from DaVinci and they look totally fine if you play them with any media player, but when I import them in Premiere Pro CC, they appear darker and way more contrasty than I've graded them in Resolve. Anyone have a solution for that?
Thanks!
Andrew

This is a long-standing and complicated issue. To start with, different media players interpret footage differently. You can hope for the best, but there can be no expectation that footage in one player will look the same in another. Ridiculous, but true. The situation is further aggravated by different display cards and different monitors, and no prevailing standards of how color and levels are interpreted.
In your specific case, you need to look at the waveforms, in Resolve and in PPro. It sounds as if the blacks are being crushed in PPro, which could mean you're monitoring them at 64 in Resolve, but they're being output at 0 or remapped to 0 in PP. This may also relate to whether you've monitoring with data or video levels in Resolve.
Is there a setting in PPro which covers how values are mapped, as data or video? I think so, but just can't recall.... Anybody? Staff?

Export .wav with markers from Audition into Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I need help in getting a multitrack mixdown with markers from Audition into Premiere.
This is what I have:
An Audition CS5.5 multitrack session with lots of markers
This is what I did to export:
Audition > File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session > .wav & "include markers and other metadata"
When I import that .wav in Premiere Pro there are no markers, neither in the source monitor, nor in the sequence.
When I import it into After Effects, all markers are there. Unfortunately, this does not help me in my editing in Premiere.
Is there any workaround for that? A direkt export from Audition via
Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro
did not help either.
There is a thread on this in Soundtbooth (sorry for posting there, too) where it is stated that it should work in Premiere, too:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3908899#3908899
Please help, regards,
Andreas

Hi Tim,
first of all, thank you for your help.
I also just filed a bug report, as you suggested.
Now let me share the results of checking out the workaround that you suggested:
1. Export to Premiere Pro via "Mulitrack menu > Export to Adobe Premiere Pro"
I had tried that before and found it not working. This was a partial mistake. What I mean by that is, when you do that, the exported .wav files get automatically added to the sequence timeline. And do not show markers. BUT, what I overlooked was, that there is a sequence created alongside which resides in the project panel. This sequence does in fact include the markers, as sequence markers.
Now comes the bitter part: When I delete the automatically added .wav from the timeline and replace it with said sequence, the markers are treated as clip markers. By contrast to After Effects, in Premiere Pro clip markers do not contain any text / names. I.e. all metadata is lost except the mere fact of anonymous markers on the timeline.
2. Export to Premiere Pro via " File menu > Export > FCP XML Interchange Format"
Same as above. Except, that I had not tried that before. What I had tried before was ...
3. Export via " File menu > Export > OMF"
Interestingly, this cannot be imported in Premiere Pro at all. Could this be another bug?
Comment:
I really hope that the markers export/import gets fixed soon.
I also wished, that clip markers in Premiere Pro would be as intelligent as in After Effects (naming, updating, showing their text clearly in the timeline)
I also wished that sequence markers would be as intelligent as comp markers in After Effects in showing their text clearly in the timeline.
... but thats a lot of wishing going on
Kind regards,
Andreas

Exporting Animated logo from AE cs6 into Premiere cs6

I have an animated logo that I would like to import into premiere cs6. When I exported it into premiere, it only imported the picture, not the background and animation along with the picture. What can I do export the logo in its entirety?

If your export does not show everything in your composition then you are looking at the wrong view in AE or you have set elements in your composition as guide layers. The only thing exported is the Active Camera view. There are also many ways to bring an AE animation into Premiere Pro. You can add the .aep to PPro and load the comp into the sequence, You can use Dynamic Link from inside the sequence to replace footage, or you can render to any one of about 10,000 different formats for use in PPro, only a very few of which are suitable for a production workflow. You have given us nothing to go on to solve your problem. If checking for guide layers and making sure that you created your comp using the Active camera view does not solve your problem then we need to know everything that is going on in your comp and exactly what your workflow is.

Problem: importing a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere.

Dear Adobe community,
I am trying to import a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere Pro CC. Whatever file format I choose to export from Photoshop, Premiere Pro CC will not import the file correctly. When I import is, two things occur: 1) the image gets imported, but the white background is still there or 2) the image gets an error "The importer reported a generic error".
Does anyone have an idea how I can get an image with a white background transparent into Premiere Pro CC.
Specs:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, eind 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB RAM
1536MB Intel Iris videocard
Thanks!
Christiaan

You need to make sure the image has an alpha channel.
Images like jpeg dont have an alpha channel.
Psd or png do and the image has to be RGB.
Make sure the background in PS is also transparant.

I am having horrendous problems importing XD-CAM files into Premiere CS6

Please tell me if there is a fix for importing XD-CAM .MXF files into Premiere CS6 6.0.0. Have tried the import and the media browser functions. The paths look like this:
PROAV
     CLPR
     CMPTR
     EDTR
     USERDATA
Let me know how to do this.....

Also, update your Premiere to 6.0.3 on PC, or 6.0.2 on Mac.
And transfer the entire folder structure from media to hard drive without modifications. That includes any Sony transfer utility, just use Windows to copy stuff straight over.
Then use Media Browser as directed previously

Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

Hi Pete,
You can obtain scripts here:
http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,

Is it possible to import a mock up from Omnigraffle into Reflow and edit the mockup on Reflow ?

Is it possible to import a mock up from Omnigraffle into Reflow and edit the mockup on Reflow ?

I don't have omnigraffle so I can tell for sure, but the main way in would be if you can get those things in omnigraffle to come into photoshop as layer shapes. Is there an omnigraffle forum to ask about better PSD export? Once you have the layers in the PSD then the import to Reflow should work well.
Hope that helps,
Chris

How to batch or individual import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)?

Is anyone aware how to batch or individually import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)? I have a large old graphics library representing 10 years of work which would be very nice to convert into Illustrator CS6...
Thanks a lot for any hint -

It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.

My bad. Typo on my part. I meant one that Adobe will recognize.
Too early yet. I shouldn't try to type before I get my first morning tea.

Importing markers (.CSV) from Prelude into Premiere...?

Hi,
I need my client to be able to be able to annotate a clip, and then export his annotations as markers that I can then import into Premiere and add to the relevant sequence.
Prelude seems like an easy tool to use, so I've been exploring that. You can annotate the clip with comment markers, and then export as .csv file, but I can find no way to bring the markers into Premiere. Exporting an XML or a Premiere Project from Prelude is no good, because the markers come through as clip markers, but I need them to be sequence/timeline markers.
Is there a way to do this? Or another suggestion for an easy way for a client to annotate a clip, and then bring those annotations into Premiere?
Thanks,
S

Importing footage from Camtasia into Premiere

I am trying to import video from camtasia studio into Premiere pro, and the footage is either extremely blurry, or does not fit the screen. I have tried to film at all kinds of different dimensions, set premiere sequence settings to all different dimensions, and nothing had worked. How do I import the footage to fit the screen and remain clear?

Decide what resolution you want to DELIVER as, and then try to configure Camtasia to record that same resolution, so that no scaling is involved. For instance, record as 1080p or 720p (1920x1080 or 1280x720 pixels). Then use a matching Sequence in Premiere. Last time I used an older version of Camtasia, it could record as an .avi or a special "CamRec" format. Use the .avi option.
What dimensions have you tried in Camtasia and Premiere? It would be very helpful if you can share your current workflow.
Thank you
