Importing .wmv into Premiere Pro CS6

A huge letter box black bar has covered half of the screen of my wmv file. I don't know where that came from and it only happens to wmv files but not mp4 or mov or whatever just wmv. Same problem goes for After Effects. Everything has been working file without no trouble until recently it started. Am using Wins7. I don't know if i must have done something to the computer or not. Any help?? Thank you

Yup. Thanks! I followed the instructions to remove the update and it helped. The black half screen is off now.

Importing WMV into Premiere Pro CS3

When importing some wmv-files into Premiere only the audio-part imports. No video.
Other wmv-files imports without problems.
The problem seems to occur only with files converted (from mov?) to wmv on Mac-systems.

Henrik,
I'd do a conversion of the WMV's to DV-AVI Type II outside of PP. Import the converted files and you *should* be able to edit them. Quality will likely have taken a hit, but as you do not have the original files, that is the best you can do.
Always request that your client, or whomever, furnishes you with a DV-AVI Type II in the future.
Good luck,
Hunt

CAN'T IMPORT WMV INTO PREMIERE PRO

I read other threads like this without any success.
I'm working with a 64bit windows 7 pc and 12 Gb ram. It worked fine until a week or so ago. Now I'm trying to import wmv files, about 20 Mb files and Premiere doesn't allow me to import these. However it works with smaller files.
Basically what I'd need to do is importing a wmv from after effects, created from a jpg footage. I'm doing animations and the way I used to do it, has been always the same. Importing in AE my jpg footage, exporting as wmv to re-edit it through premiere. It is easier for me working these kind of files in premiere to have quick animations, since avi files are huge and QT ones don't work either.
I called the customer service and after half an hour at the telephone finally it seemed working (with small files) but then I had the same problem.
May this be a memory issue? Corrupt file? Windows media player can play these files, thouh I read it doesn't matter if it works with it.
I need this by today for an exhibit and I'm pretty worried to not being able to finish the job.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Thanks Harm.
I don't need to have a very high quality for my videos at this point. I usually export as I've said and so far no problem at all. Now I'm fighting with this issue and wasting my time trying to understand what the problem is.
I spent the whole day yesterday uninstalling and reinstalling the softwares, you can imagine how frustrating this can be if you have a close deadline.
I prefer to work in AE first and then handling my file in PR.
I'll give it a try and see if your suggestion is worth the time.
Thanks

How do you import mp4s into Premiere Pro CS6?

When attempting to import an mp4 file, I get a dialog box indicating that the import failed because the file does not contain video or audio streams. The file is undamaged, it plays fine on windows media player, both audio and video. I tried loading it into Adobe Media Encoder and had the same problem. Thoughts?

QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings are Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing some screen recordings on my Mac using QuickTime 10.1, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro CS6, they are poor quality and blurry. It's difficult to read text and logos on the recordings are showing up fuzzy. Anything I can do to improve the quality with what I have? I'm trying to do a new site demo, so I'd like to have things appear more clearly. I am, however, by no means a video expert or Premiere Pro expert, so a lot of the output names and labels, I'm not familiar with. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing screen recordings with QuickTime 10.1 that appear to be of good quality until I import into Premiere Pro CS6 and then they display and export very poorly and very blurry to the point that you can't read the text on the page. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Hi Kristine,
Make sure that the clips are positioned on the X,Y axis as whole integers, not integers + decimal points. See if that works for you.
Thanks,

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.

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.
See post 3: Can't get PPro to accept video file.

Importing a Final Cut Pro7's XML into Premiere Pro CS6 - 2

The codec is Apple Prores 422 (HQ), and also all of the codecs that Final Cut Pro gives, dont appear as an option when Im creating a new project file. Only the standart DV, DVCPRO50 and DVCPROHD are available.
My quicktime is updated, and I already have Final Cut installed.
Can anyone help me please?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

Import mpg video into Premiere Pro CS6

When I try to import video taken with a Sony Handicam DCR SX63 I get a "There was an error decompressing audio or video". In searching this issue I find many people with the same issue but never a resolution. Is there one? That a novice could implement??
MPG format is clearly stated to be compatible. Copied directly from camera to computer via USB it plays just fine. Converting it to a different format (MP4) with DVDVideoSoft Free Studio I can import it into Premiere Pro and do my splicing / editing.
But.. my end result is not as clear (and files are much larger) so feel if I could use the original and stay in that format.. my results would be much better.
My project is very simple.. combine some clips, remove some bad footage and burn to a DVD.. any advice on alternate formats would be appreciated as well.
Thank you for your time
Ralph

Thank you for your time John.
Your last link deals with taking files off a SD card.. this is not my case but there is mention of renaming files creating a problem. So.. I re-download all my video from my camera using Windows Explore and copied the entire folder and root (Videos\MP_ROOT\101PNV01). My previous download using Windows Media.. did in fact rename the files. However I get the same error when trying to import with Premiere Pro.
In my previous searches for a solution I was pointed to your mediainfo applet.. running that on any of the newly downloaded video gives me this report: Open to more suggestions..

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
Regards and again many thanks

Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6. Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab. Also get error message when importing to bin.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television. I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this. I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer). When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message. The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them. Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu. They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file. I am aware of this form: Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?
Third- I have watched some adobe video for created the CC files within Premiere. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-closed-captions-within-premiere-pro /
However, I cannot find the "Caption" menu to do so? Where is it?
Am I running into problems because I am not on the Creative Cloud? IF so, is it possible to upgrade and how do i do that. Adobe has made it incredibly difficult to contact anybody.

Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).

Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.

In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

Trouble importing .mxf files into Premiere Pro CS6

Having problems importing MXF. file types into my Premiere CS6 project. I will go to import the folder and the yellow loading bar will come up to say that it's importing. Then it will freeze and the color wheeled loading symbol will come up (I'm using a Mac) and will just sit there. From there I'm forced to do a force quit on my project and re-open it again. Is there any way to fix this issue and if so what is the problem causing this issue?
Also my mac is running on OSX v10.7.5 and Premiere is running on cs6 v6.0.2

Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.
