Interpret Footage Source Monitor Issue

Hello,
I am trying to work through the Adobe Production Premium CS6 Classroom in a book. In lesson 3, they have a 60p (59.9401) video file, and they instruct us to Interpret the footage as 24p (23.976).
If I add the resulting video clip to the timeline, everything is fine on the Program monitor. But when I open the video clip on the Source monitor, things are screwed up. The source monitor plays the video, in slow motion for the duration of the clip at 60p, but then switches to black for the remainder of the clip duration at 24p. (E.g., "Live_23-60" is 2 seconds long at 60p, and 5 seconds long at 24p. When playing Live_23-60 in the source monitor at 24p, I get slow video for 2 seconds, and black video for 3 seconds.)
This is on the most up to date CS6 (PP is version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) ) at the time of this post.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

Did you try with another clip ?
You have to locate the problem more precisely :
if it works with another clip, then it's a problem from the clip
if it don't work with another clip, find a clip with a different codec
if the clip with a different codec work, then it's a problem from a codec
if none works, it's a software problem, you might wan't to try to delete the preferences of Premiere Pro, they might have got corrupted

Source Monitor Issue

Hello everyone,
Since yesterday i am having a problem with the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro CS5.5 (And 6). Whenever i double click the file from my project menu nothing happens with the source monitor, like the file doesn't even open. But when i double click the file from the timeline, everything is fine. This problem i am having is both with CS5.5 and CS6 so iam assuming it has something to do with my pc instead of premiere. Anyone else had this problem? This is a big issue for me because i always cut my clips before dragging them in the timeline (i work with alot of clips).
Thanks!

Footage in source monitor is cropped. PP CC

I have some 3k QT source in a 1920x1080 timeline. The footage is at 100% of source size and repositioned for better framing. If I double click on the footage in the timeline to open it in the source monitor, the footage is center cropped to a 1080 window rather than showing the entire footage. If I open the source from the bin, it displays correctly. there's no filters or effects on the footage.
System info:
Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 (105)
OS 10.7.5
Mac Pro 5,1 - 2 x 2.66Ghz 6Core
64Gb RAM
Geforce GTX 570 2.5Gb

Maybe.
I can't duplicate the issue.
It could be the codec you are using, but it seems odd that you are having this issue and we have never heard this complaint before. But CC is relatively new, so anything is possible.
Instead of doubleclicking, what happens if you press the "f" key to get a match frame?

Program monitor and source monitor display issues

Hello, my program monitor is displaying strange colours (inverted?) when playing video. In addition, the source monitor will never display any video although audio plays back fine.
I am running on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 laptop with Windows XP 32-bit and an Intel X4500MHD video card with the latest Lenovo-certified driver version.
From my testing, this problem appears regardless of project settings, file/footage settings, etc. I originally had the K-Lite codec pack installed although I have uninstalled that with no luck.
This problem surfaced from the moment I opened Premiere after first installing it and I have tried reinstalling the program, my video card drivers, and uninstalling the previously mentioned codecs.
Also I have a thread on this at the DVinfo forums which has had many responses although no working solution.

I would try whether killing these processes will help. It may well be that when you kill them all you may encounter hangs, because one or more may be needed for your machine. I would start by killing all Lenovo processes. One would expect that one of these processes may cause your problems, but unless you try it, you can't be sure. Unfortunately I don't have a Lenovo, so I can only guess.

Source Monitor - Huge audio issue

At first I thought I was going crazy... I was getting all audio on timeline but only one track in the source monitor.
Then found out that this was only the case with 2 track mono clips.
Why does the source monitor play back all tracks of a stereo clip but only track one of a 2 track mono clip?
I've got a stack of clips from a shoot which are interviews.... Question mic on track 2 Answer mic on track 1
Anyone got any idea how I utilise the source monitor if I can't hear audio.
I dont want to modify all clips to stereo in the bin and I certainly don't want to select different tracks each time via the display mode drop down.
Looks like I'll just be editing straight into the timeline.
What a miss from adobe!

Why does the source monitor play back all tracks of a stereo clip but only track one of a 2 track mono clip?
Well, strictly speaking, Premiere isn't playing back all tracks of a stereo clip and only one track of a multi-mono clip, but rather, Premiere is playing back the first audio track of a clip, regardless of the channel mapping. To Premiere, a media clip with a stereo track has one audio track (not two), so that's why you hear both channels in that case.
But, to the crux of your question and lament: I agree. It's a pain, particularly when dealing with footage like P2 MXF that contains 2 or 4 mono tracks. Due to the way I shoot, I usually have my primary audio on track 2, so using a usual Source/Program editing practice is difficult. Sounds like your workflow and expectation is the same.
So until we get a way to select the audio track to be monitored from the Composite Video view (feature request: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form), the workaround is to work in a sequence, or to switch to Audio view mode and then select the track you want to hear. There is a keyboard shortcut you can set to bring up the Audio view (I have that set to F4 and Composite Video to F3), but sadly, none exists to switch the monitor track. The track you select in Audio view is persistent in Composite Video view, but unfortunately, that setting/selection is not remember from clip to clip.
I've lamented this myself, but hadn't gotten around to putting together a solid feature request; I think I'll do that now, and hope you will too.
EDIT: sorry, missed you'd already said you don't want to toggle tracks. So... yeah... that's all there is...

Source monitor to program monitor issues

I cant drag footage from the source monitor to the program monitor window to add it to the sequence timeline. I get a hand symbol instead Mac os 10.8.4 / CS6

sure that works, but I'm trying to follow a tutorial and can't see any reason why my software dosen't do as the tutorial suggests it should . .

Taking clips from Source monitor into timeline issues.

I can;t drag slected clip from the source monitor to the timeline.. it allows me to take audio but video won;t travel with it.. even if I just grab the video only icon.. it won't do it... i am using PP CC

Source monitor quality issues...

Hi Guys,
I hope someone can help. I've done a lot of searching for some help with this question;
I've been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a little while and am slowly mastering (learning) the basics!
I recently imported a .mov file in PremPro to add some music to it.
The strange thing is, after import, the movie seems washed out/faded in the source monitor and also when I export the final comp.
When I open the .mov in Quicktime and After Effects and view it, it's perfect.
I'm working on a MacPro tower (i'm at home now and can't exactly remember the spec! ) But running OS 10.4+
When I open the same .mov file in Premiere on my MacPro Laptop at home the movie preview is fine!?
I'm sure i'm doing something very wrong!? Any ideas guys?
Apologies for the lack of machine specs.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.
Do a search with the keywords "quicktime" and "gamma". I'm sure that is what is affecting you. I personally don't use Quicktime.
Cheers
Eddie

In and Out points not showing in source monitor

I've noticed this in the past couple of days: setting in and out points in the source monitor, the indicators don't show in the time ruler. In other words, even though I set the in and out points, it looks like nothing has been selected.
If I put the clip into the timeline, the in and out points I chose are respected, but they just don't seem to register in the source monitor, so I can't have confidence in what I have selected.
If I open another clip in the source monitor, then go back to the one I was working on, magically the in and out points are there again. Strange...
At the same time, if I apply audio gain to a clip in the source monitor, it sometimes doesn't "take". It shows that gain has been added, but there is no change in the sound volume when I play it back in the source monitor. Again, if I put the clip in the timeline, the volume is as it should be and the waveform reflects this.
So, is there some underlying bug affecting how clips are dealt with in the source monitor?
I'm on the latest version of Premiere CC 7.2.1 on Windows 8

Thanks for these suggestions. I'll try and answer each one:
Is the Source Monitor zoomed out to show the whole clip? If not, please zoom out to see if the In/Out points are getting painted in the wrong place initially.
Yes, it is zoomed out.
Do the clips have non-zero start timecode? If so, please try with a clip with zero-based timecode. (If you don't have one handy, you can create one fairly easily by exporting a sequence with start TC of 0;00)
The problem is intermittent and in this project all the clips are DSLR .mov files. The problem occurs with some of these and not others.
Have you done anything like setting a custom start timecode or interpreting footage to change the frame rate?
I haven't set a custom timecode. It's true that there is a mix of 24p and 25p clips in the project, but surely this only presents issues in the timeline rather than the source monitor? In any case, I haven't gone to interpret footage on these clips.
Is this happening with all types of project items, including simple clips on disc, or only with certain items like merged clips, multicam sequences, subclips...?
In this project, the only type of clip I'm using is simple clips. There are nested sequences; I'm not sure, but possibly the problem has also presented itself when these are brought into the source monitor - but not exclusively with those.
I hope this helps. This is the first project I have worked on since the latest upgrade and I didn't come across this problem before. As I say, it is intermittent, and it's hardly crippling - just annoying when it happens!
Thanks

Cant used adobe premier elements Interpret footage in premier elements 11

Cant used adobe premier elements Interpret footage in premier elements 11 help

doogiehowser72
This is not Adobe. We are Premiere Elements users trying to help Premiere Elements users. We try to answer as soon as we see an issue presented. But we do not have a fixed schedule.
We need to backup on this to find out exactly what you want to gain with Interpret Footage. And, what you are doing?
I am a little concerned when you write "...try to change the aspect ratio of the full screen...". You cannot change the aspect ratio of the full screen with Interpret Footage or anything else within the project. The Edit Mode monitor that you see before you is determined by the project preset that you or the project is setting.
In Premiere Elements 11 the program steps in front of you and automatically sets the project preset according to the properties of what you drag to the Timeline for the first time. Sometimes it does it OK, sometimes not. When it does not, then you set the project preset yourself manually before you import your media into the program.
To do that, open your new project, go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset that matches the properties of your source media that you will bring in after you set the project preset. Before leaving the new project dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on this Project". Then close out of there. In the workspace, go to Add Media and bring in your source media.
DO NOT use the File Menu/Interpret Footage if you want to change the frame rate or pixel aspect ratio of anything that you have already imported. Go to the imported file in Project Assets, right click it, select Interpret Footage, and work with the Interpret Footage dialog that opens.
I suspect that you may be using Interpret Footage for something other than what it is supposed to be used for.
I am getting the Help message, but I cannot help you without details of what you are doing.
If you are not understanding what I am trying to tell me, do not hesitate to let me know. I will re-write the information if necessary. But to do that I need details to work from.
We can solve this issue.
Thank you.

Re-interpreted footage metadata is lost when moving Premiere Pro CC 2014 project file to different computer

Hi guys,
I believe this is just a bug in Premiere Pro CC 2014 (and other versions in the past), but I wanted to make sure it was on the PP team's plate for the next update, since it's detrimental to a workflow that include more than one computer or more than one editor on a project.
My team shoots a lot of footage in slow-motion (for instance, 59.94 for 23.976). Premiere's process to conform this footage is great. Modify -> Interpret Footage -> Assume this frame rate: "23.976".
Unfortunately, when we move this project file to another system, even if we are using a hard-drive that is synced to have the exact same source media files with the exact same file structure, we lose the footage interpretation metadata. Premiere Pro CC thinks this footage is 59.94 again, and our sequences are in shambles. All clips where the interpretation metadata is lost have "zebra pin stripes" on them wherever they exist in our sequences.
We have to manually re-interpret the footage, and then sometimes manually re-select in and out points. This is a work-around that enables us to push forward, but it's a barrier that makes collaborative editing extremely challenging and opens up rampant possibility for error. It's hard to locate every clip we need to re-interpret in some of our more complex projects, and even harder to avoid re-interpreting the wrong clips.
Looking forward to a resolution to this problem.

Guys I solved my own problem - thought I'd share with you how in case anyone else is having this problem -
I came across this thread
Premiere Pro CC error message and crash
which had the suggestion -
"Do tou have after effects installed? If yes, please try to import the main sequence into it and then export it as premier pro project from file/export ootion and then try to open that in premiere pro."
This didn't work for me too but I did try and import my existing project into a new project and copy all the files over. Works fine now.
I don't know if I will have the same issue again tomorrow so I'm going to render out a super high res video before I close premiere just in case

Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output. My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).
Can someone with an I/O from AJA, Matrox, or Blackmagic please test this out for me. Thanks...

Hi Joe,
How do you have your audio setup? Try the following.
- Set your OS system sound to Built-in or Line out audio
- Select Blackmagic for both Video and Audio in Preferences> Playback
- Select System Default Input/Output from Preferences> Audio Hardware
Hope this helps,

Can't see video in Source Monitor, or play it in Program Monitor

Hi there
I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 fine for months now, doing the same tasks on a daily basis. However yesterday morning the computer crashed whilst editing some footage and now it doesn't function properly.
I have re-installed the software and this hasn't fixed issues, and also performed a system restore which fixed some but not all of them.
The main problem is I can now import video into the project and drop it onto the timeline (which I couldn't before the system restore) but now I can't view the original footage in the Source Monitor, making editing tricky, and it doesn't play continuosly in the Source Monitor, only giving a still image wherever I leave the playhead.
I can hear the audio and it plays without any breaks, it's just the video.
Can anyone help?

Can anyone help? I use it for work and basically I can't do any more work until it's fixed.
Things I've tried:
Uninstall and reinstall
System restore
Checking opacity on clip
Checking which workspaces are open
importing old footage and other formats
opening old projects
updating codecs
emptying media cache

CS4 vs. Interpret footage (23,976)

System:
Windows 7 (64)
Premiere CS4 (Demo)
AJA Bord
Uncompressed AVI (v210) workflow
I used to work with CS2 and I may upgrade to CS4. In my tests I was not able to use interpret footage propperly.
No matter what I tried, every source file (24, 25 and even 23,976) can not be interpreted as 23,976.
Premiere always changes 23,976 to 23,98.
1. This was working fine in CS2
2. It seems like this is just a display problem and the files are still treaded correctly.
Is there anyone who had the same problem?

It's a display rounding issue, near as I can tell. Do this test:
Import a clip that is 23.98fps. Take a note of the duration of the clip.
Select "Interpret Footage" for that clip, and change the frame rate to "23.976".
When you deselect the frame rate field, it will automatically round to two decimal places, e.g. 23.98. This will also be reflected in the project panel information area.
Now take a note of the duration of the clip; it will be slightly longer. It IS now being interpreted as 23.976fps, hence the slightly longer duration.
I found this to be the case with DVCPROHD 720p clips recorded using OnLocation; you can set OnLo to automatically remove the padded frames from a 720p/24p "over 60" stream to create true 24p AVIs. However, there's a bug in the way they're interpreted in Premiere Pro, in that they when they're imported, the pulldown is removed again, resulting in clips with 19.18fps. You can uncheck the "remove 24p pulldown" box in the interpret footage dialog, but they are then intepreted as 23.98fps. When trying to synchronize and multicam edit these files with 720/24pN clips recorded to a P2 card (which are correctly identified in Premiere as 23.976fps), they eventually go out of sync. So, in the interpret footage dialog, after unchecking the pulldown box, I have to manually enter "23.976"--again, it displays as "23.98", but the duration changes and the clips stay in perfect sync throughout the duration of the multicam.
Hope that helps...

Help with Playback in Source Monitor

when I import footage of a specific interview into PP, at 2;45 the audio suddenly jumps back to the begining of the clip while the video continues to playback as usual. The original file is fine, there is no problem playing it in any other program, and this only happens with this one clip, no others are affected. I've removed this clip and re-imported it, up-dated PP, and re-booted my computer all to no avail. Any suggestions? This is quite frustrating.... I've lost some of my previous work, and would just like to be able to have useable interview footage...
Thanks for you help,
Ben

Here's a few details:
Premier Pro CS6 with 6.0.1 update (updated again as soon as problem noticed)
Using Windows 7
Using G-spot the video codec is "avc1" and under the "Name" category it said "H.264"
The Audio codec is mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC
the file type is MPEG saved as a ".MOV"
Note that I'm using a lot of other footage shot from the same camera in the same codec in this project (and in several other projects) and have not encountered this issue. I've read all those posts and get the idea of what a codec is, but I'm no expert. Let me know if this information is sufficent or if there's more I can provide.
No Error messages, just editing as usual, and I noticed the problem with the audio when I tried to use footage after a particular point
Not running any other software at the time I first noticed the problem. Did go back and check the auto saved files and noticed that the footage was doing the same thing there as well.
Haven't installed any third party effects or codec's
As far as hardware is concerned I'm using a pretty basic PC setup. It's a laptop with an i7-3720QM 2.6GHz processor (quad core), 16 GB RAM, an NVIDIA GT 650M GPU with 2 GB VRAM
I am using Mercury Playback Engine with GPU Acceleration
The problem is that when doing anything with the video in PP at the same spot everytime the audio begins to play from the start (At 2:45 the audio begins to play from the start while the video continues to play as usual). this gives me audio that's 2:45 behind the clip. This occurs both in the source monitor and when I insert the clip into the time-line.
Not sure what a screen shot would reveal, everything looks just fine. No red lines when I first import, everything plays back in real time, the audio is simply off. This problem doesn't occur when playing back with any other program (I've tried windows media player, and just for fun played it back with Adobe Bridge and there was no problem with playback in either program.) This problem occurs both in the project I first noticed the problem in and when I import the footage into a new project.
Hopefully some of the info helps...
Has this happened to anyone else?
