Importing completed project onto timeline of in-progress project.

As newbie on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014, I am trying to import at entire project (Pool League) into an "in progress" project (2015-02-09). I have already done File>Import and found "Pool Project" and gotten it onto the project panel. I tried to drag and drop onto the timeline of (2015-02-09 News) and it would not do the operation. Then I double clicked it up to the source panel, and attempted the same thing....nothing. Then I remember something about "sequence", typed it into project panel, tried again....nothing. Then I recalled something about "new sequence from clip", tried that and "Pool League" completely over-rode "2015-02-09 News". I know there must be some simple explaination but I'm coming up blank. Thank you, in advance, for your help. I am working Premiere 2014 CC on a windows 8.0.
Sorry, apparently I sent this twice. Oh, well.

No.

How to set up so that 1920 x 1080 h.264 files don't need to be rendered when importing onto timeline

Is there a way to set up final cut express to default to the proper settings so that 1920 x 1080 h.246 mov files don't have to be rendered when dropped onto the timeline? It is really not efficient to work on something when it takes hours to render. Thanks

Thanks Tom,
Is it the same in fcs? Or does fcs have the capacity to import without render to timeline?
Appreciate the reply.

Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12. Imported a project that I had created with PE 9. Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks. But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
Any idea what can cause this?

With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problem importing a project

I created a project with 802 images on my MacBook Pro. I rated, keyworded and made adjustments to those images. When I returned home, I exported the project (just the project, not the referenced masters)and imported that project to my iMac. I also copied the masters onto the iMac. The import completes successfully, but I got a warning message that there was a database inconsistency. I restarted Aperture and did a consistency check. I no longer get the error message. However, Aperture only shows previews for 199 of the 802 images. When I show the package contents for Aperture, the project is there and all of thumbnails and previews are present just as they are on the MacBook Pro. I cannot figure out how to make Aperture show all of the images. Any ideas on how I should proceed and how to get all of the images into Aperture?

Thanks! Now the frustrating thing is that the client doesn't want to use what I created after all...bah humbug
It's not the RAM (which is either 8GB or 16....not sure on that computer). Got an e-mail from Boris Support that implied that this will happen all the time...that you have to export all projects before you use them in FCP or DVDSP or the Continuum filters won't work (loved how the support person suggested that I just use the filter in FCP...which defeats the purpose of creating something in Motion! But I digress...) Told me I had to buy a $500 program called Automatic Duck to get things to import properly...and that Boris filters won't work with the latest upgrade of FCP, btw.

Rendering issues with imported Motion project in FCP

I have various titles for a DVD prepared in Motion that are imported as project files into Final Cut Pro.
When playing back the rendered timeline in FCP to a TV, the animation on these titles (scaling and moving of text and untextured, 100% opaque rectangles) looks fine. When I render the timeline to a QuickTime (DV PAL) they still look fine on a monitor, though obviously not a great test on a progressive display.
After using Compressor (and a suitable preset for PAL content) and burning to a disc from DVD Studio Pro, the animation is jumpy. Some elements in the project with a Fade In/Fade Out behaviour with Fade Out duration set to 0 suddenly disappear for a short period (looks like one frame) - these objects end on the timeline in the same frame that their Fade In/Fade Out behaviour also ends.
If I render the Motion project to a QuickTime file with transparency and overlay that in FCP then follow the same route through Compressor and DVD Studio Pro everything looks as I expected... smooth motion and no disappearing elements.
Any ideas? Should I just keep rendering Motion projects out to separate files to overlay in FCP? That seems a bit of a waste of the integration between FCP and Motion.

This gives me pause: AEManager::scanForPluginsInDirectory(PCString) + 1011
I'd check for any third party plugins...

Importing a project from Sony Vegas

I'm trying to import a project that was initially edited in Sony Vegas to do audio and color correction in Final Cut. Apart from rendering the project out to an HDV tape, and re-importing it into Final Cut through Log and Capture, what is the best methodology so as to retain the most data for timelines, etc.
We can even go so far as to have the original hard drives, but I just can't fathom how to migrate into final cut.
Suggestions?

The back to tape method sounds good. Otherwise using flip4mac to import an intermediate AVI's is also good.
Does Vegas export EDL's ?

Importing existing projects

I am trying to import some projects that I have on my work
machine in to my home machine. I am just getting started with Flex
builder but am having a bit of trouble understanding how it handles
projects...there is no apparent way to *completely* close one
project and open another one, so you are working on only one at a
time. Rather, it appears that you import all projects into the same
workspace, and switch between them in the Navigator (whether these
projects are related to one another or not). Is this correct?
One problem I had though, is that I cannot seem to import all
my projects. I created a directory on my work machine called
FlexProjects, and inside are two project directories, say Test and
Keyboard. I took this entire directory home with me and saved to a
local drive. Then, I used the Switch Workspace command to switch to
FlexProjects. Then, I said Import ->existing projects and
navigated to the FlexProjects folder. From here, it listed both
Test and Keyboard. It will then import Test, but when importing
Keyboard I get this message:
Invalid project description:
Reason:
Invalid project description
and the details say:
E:\projects\FlexProjects\Keyboard overlaps the workspace
location E:\projects\FlexProjects
I don't understand this - I did a compare of the Test and
Keyboard project paths and there was no obvious difference (like an
incorrect path) that would explain why Test will import but
Keyboard won't.
It is critical that I be able to port Flex projects between
home and work .. can someone help me fix this?
Thanks!

That's what I figured. I'll just have to work through the background and keep as is. thanks!

Transitions don't work after importing a project from Premiere to AE

I've imported a project from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 and all my transition (fade + wipes) are now solids and they don't work on timeline or on exports, but they still show in my sequence.
How can I make AE use those transition again so I don't have to go through all project and keyframe transitions.
Notice that I use Cineform and that those transition are Cineform's one; hope that doesn't cause the problem since AE uses CF too.
Thnak you for your time and interest in my problem.

Exactly the problem. AE is only to able to translate a few transitions, which include the normal cross-disolve, linear wipe, dip-to-color and a few others, but since those routines are hard-coded in the Premiere Pro Importer, they have no way f doing the same for third-party products. So more or less you will have to rebuild your stuff, either by using the proper transitions in PPro or in AE.

"Import Flex Project" Menu Disappear [FB 4.6]

Hi All,
I am not sure what's going wrong here but I'm not able to see "Import Flex Project" menu item under File Menu.
Can any one knows how to get it back ?
Thanks
Mac

I'm having the exact same issue as he described. This doesn't help at all.
I am using a fresh install of Flash Builder 4.6.
I have tried closing and re-opening the project, and cannot get the design view to work.
I have tried creating a completely new project, it comes up bad.
**Edit**
I think the problem has to do with the workspace. Most of my projects are flex 4.5. I started using an old flex 4.5 workspace that I have been using for several months. It worked well for a few hours of development, and then the design view started messing up.
I created a fresh new workspace, and imported the projects into the workspace by using file->import flash builder project->Folder, and manually selected the projects I needed.
This method worked for me and I am good to go.
Another point of note, is that my workspace was in my dropbox folder, which may have had some tampering going on in the background, I doubt it, but that could also have been the issue.
Good luck guys, hope this helps.

Error importing old project into Premiere Elements 11

Trying to import old project backup - that I made a couple of years ago. When importing the Project file, I get the error
"The selected file cannot be linked because it's type (video) does not match the original files type (audio and video)."
I try and select the file, but it then gives the error "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio and video) does not match the original file's type (video).
If I skip the ones that give me the error, I get an incomplete edit - with lots of bits missing.
HELP!!! I need to sort this asap......for a client.
Thanks

Here is my plan, either a start to better or a dud. We are going to start small to get a foothold in this.
My major puzzlement is you telling me that you are replacing video with video and getting the message
The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio and video) does not match the original file's type (video)
.The only time I have ever seen that message is when someone is trying to replace still with video or video with still.
At this moment, where are the source media that went into the original Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project? Let us say, all in Documents in a folder named Special - all have their original names. Given that you are 100% that they are the ones that went into this project...the type (video or still) and file name and file extension.
I am not sure if it matters for this test whether or not you are using Premiere Elements 11 or 9.0/9.0.1, I just want to find out what is going on with your source media.
(a) Open the project using Skip All if you are hit with a bunch of "Where is....?" messages which I assume you will be.
(b) Go to the Timeline, pick a file with the colorful Media Offline display, write down the file name from its title band.
Right click that file on the Timeline and select Find in Media.
From Organize Media, delete the Media Offline thumbnail that was pointed out to you clicking Reveal in Media.
Go back to the Timeline and this same file, right click it and this time select Reveal in Project. That should take you to Project. Delete the file there that Reveal in Project points you to. That will also delete is counterpart on the Timeline. All traces of that particular Media Offline file are now gone in the project.
In that project, go to Get Media/Files and Folders and browse to and select the original file (with the exact same file name and kind that you just deleted from the project) that you have saved back in that Special Folder in Documents.
Drag that file from Organize Media or Project to the Timeline in the space made available by your deletion of it as an Media Offline thumbnail.
Does that work to replace that particular file. Is it the file that you had there originally? Keep in mind that we are identifying this file by name in each step and need a match of file name from start to end.
If this works for one, then we can plan around this basic finding. And, if this works we may revert back to Replace Footage. But, let us see what happens here first.
What is your estimate of how many of these Media Offline displays are there to be dealt with? How many of the media are in place on that Timeline and are no problem?
Looking forward to the results.
Thanks.

Import copied project

Hi,
I am moving a project from one computer to the other. I have Premiere Elements 11 on both computers. From the first one I did a Project Archive, and chose Copy. Can I import this project on the new computer in just one click?
BR
A

A
Just did a run through where the project that I created in Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit had numerous photos and one video in a project that I archived with Project Archiver Copy Option.
Copied Folder was transferred to USB 2.0 Flash Drive which subsequently inserted in a USB 3.0 port of the Windows 8 64 bit computer. From the USB Flash Drive in Computer, I opened the Copied Folder, right clicked the project.prel, and Premiere Elements 11 opened without any glitches...source media in Project Assets and on the Timeline and no missing media messages or Media Offline displays.
Full disclosure....It was not as easy as all that since my problem was getting Premiere Elements 11 to open instead of 10. I have versions 10 and 11 on Windows 8 64 bit and that computer insisted on Opening With version 10 instead of 11. I finally got the .prel associated with version 11. As an aside, everything from the Copied Folder opened without problems in version 10 before I changed the Opened With to version 11.
Please review your steps to see if we can determine why we are not getting the same outcome. Again, even if you are asked for a file location and there are duplicated files in your computer, I do not see any problem in you pointing the program to the Copied Folder to get the file in place in the project. You should not have to do that, but it would get the job done if you were in a time crunch.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Export/Import of project containing models

Hi All,
I have a WebDynpro project I am developing for a customer that involves ARFC Models. When I export the project to the file system and subsequently try to import it into another NWDS, the Model is not included the project under the Models node, or under used models.
My guess is that I need to do something else in the export process (besides just exporting to the file system).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
I think I am doing what you suggest: I am in the WebDynpro Explorer, I select file then Export, select File System off of the list, checkmark my project in the next screen, and press finish. The project folder is created in the location specified.
When I move the folder to a new PC and do the Import, The project is created in my workspace, but the model information is missing.
Am I missing something? As I need to leave the customer with a project that they can modify, I need to be able to export the complete working project from my laptop. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks again.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when I import CS6 project files

I recently upgraded to CC, but every time I try to import my project file from Premiere Pro CS6 into Premiere Pro CC it crashes, or stops working if you like.
This is very irritating as I wanted to make use of the SpeedGrade workflow in the CC packaged between Premiere Pro CC.
My project file is no longer than 1 minute, however is does contain After Effects CS6 compositions, could this possible cause the crash? I have tried to import without these but it still stops working for some reasons.
Also I have no idea where to find the error log for crashes on Adobe software.

I have experienced similar crashes and timeline playback failure when importing a CS6 project into CC or CC 2014. I had to rebuild two projects by hand before I realized it was a bug in CC converting the CS6 project files to CC project files. I don't think this has been addressed yet, but I have had better luck starting projects from scratch in CC, not cross-converting a CS6 project. Although I'm still experiencing issues with multicam projects in CC 2014.
Curious to hear others chime in on this.

Help importing WinHelp project into RoboHelpHTML

Dear All,
I am a programmer currently evaluating RoboHelp Office X5,
with the intention of converting our existing WinHelp project to
the more modern (and vista friendly) HTMLHelp.
I have tried using the import function (RoboHelp
Starter/Import/WinHelp Project -> HTML Help.
This is a large (2000 topics) project, with a cnt file, map
file (HM) and topics.rtf file.
Robohelp chugs away for a bit, then opens the new RoboHelp
project.
The screen briefly flashes with the workspace, then
refreshes, and the HTML Files (Topics) folder in the workspace is
empty. i.e. the new project appears to contain no topics.
RoboHelp has produced HTML files (about 2000 of them), in a
topics directory, but these don't appear in the project itself.
Not sure how to progress? Any ideas?
Hope someone can help,
Merry Xmas!
Robin

Media offline (but not first clip) when import cs4 project to cs5

I've several clips in a cs4 project. All original clips, all from the same footage, are in the proper folder. When I imported the project into my fresh cs5 install, the first clip shows up properly -- video and audio are present -- but the rest in the sequence show "media offline." When I search for the clip and select it to be linked, I'm informed that "The selected files do not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences." Clicking yes then gives me a clip in the project resources and timeline windows with no sound.
This makes no sense, since all clips are from the same source footage. If the first clip in the sequence is fine, what's the problem? Thanks for your help.

I figured out what has happened. The clips were all from same original source, but somehow some had audio coded in mp2, others in mp3. The first clip was mp3 and Premiere CS5 version spotted that codec. For some reason PCS5 is not spotting the mp2 codec, while CS4 could, which is why I didn't have this problem back then.
The initial "media offline" message is terribly misleading, and the audio problem message is not specific enough. I'll try to get CS5 to use the mp2 codec CS4 worked with.
Thanks for your time.
Just to confuse things more, It's worth noting that the mp2 clips show up in Bridge cs5 and the audio plays fine there. What's with Premiere Pro? Irritating.
