Mixing 5.1 in a Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline

Hi,
I want to try and make a project that has 5.1 stereo surround sound.
I have a project on the Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline. All of the audio is on Track A1 one and the video is on V1. The Audio track is a Stereo track. If I have a 5.1 Surround Sound System connected to my TV and I play this video as is, will I hear the sound out of all 5 speakers and the Sub Woofer? Or, will it just come out of the Front Left and Right speakers?
To make a 5.1 Mix, can I just take that Audio, and make a new Surround Sound timeline, add the same piece of Audio to the tracks, go to the Audio mixers and assign which track I want to go to which speaker?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Encore CS 5.1

With 2-channel (Stereo) source material, I agree with Jim.
Now, I often create faux 5.1, when presented with 2-channel source files, but there is a fair amount of work, to get it to sound good, and then, it will fall behind mixing 5 - 6 discrete 1-channel files, recorded correctly.
The synthetic Surround features of a newer receiver will yield better results.
Also, to output DD 5.1 SS (DD AC3 6-channel), you would need the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS Encoder plug-in, or, and depending on some other factors, their SurCode DTS Encoder (not a plug-in).
I also produce and create music, digitally, and will do many of those compositions in 5.0, or 5.1 at the beginning. That is easy to deal with in PrPro, and output with either/both the SurCode DD 5.1 SS Encoder, or SurCode DTS Encoder.
I'd let the receiver handle things.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac timeline encoder application options

What options (Procoder-like) do I have for Mac Premiere Pro CS3 timeline encoding? Appreciate any application suggestions.

I understand that you get more options on the Win Platform. If your
looking for a specific option that you intend to use alot, then you will
certainly want to factor that in when you make your OS choice.
But just having lots of options in itself is not, in itself, a good
reason to base your choice on. The Mac platforms tend to be more
quicktime based, but your encoding options are varied allowing you to
create delivery formats for a range of end users, from tiny Ipod size
video to lossless formats that most any other platform will handle with
no difficulty. Of course you have the standard DVD export routines, and
you also have flash video export routines.
For import concerns, I have found a program called Visual Hub to be
quite useful in conversions. I've found it to be able to quickly convert
most everything I throw it at, specifically those xvid and divx file
that tend to be problematic for NLE's on both platforms.

Premiere Pro CC very buggy timeline

Hi everyone! I can't seem to find a relevant answer to this problem I've been having with Premiere Pro CC.
Basically, I have a timeline with four video angles (not trying a multiclip edit; they are just in the timeline) and a few sources of audio. As I try to scroll side to side or zoom in and out, I get weird blacking out and clip outlines that shouldn't be there. If I try to move the divider bar between the audio and video tracks, it doesn't do anything. In the attached video, I try to navigate around the timeline, and then go to the multiclip version of an almost identical timeline (which works perfectly). In it's current state, the first (non-multiclip) timeline is completely unusable. Ideas? Thanks! Premiere CC Buggy Timeline - YouTube
~Tim

The audio and video tracks aren't synced via a timecode or anything definite like that. The audio track in question starts at a different time than the video clips, which means that I would need to scrub through it to find the spot where the audio I need occurs, and grab it. Maybe I just don't know about some functionality within Premiere, but I don't think I can just toss audio in a sequence and have it line up.
And again, just avoiding a broken or buggy timeline doesn't help me in the long run. What if I was working on a long-form documentary or something where this happened, but I didn't happen to have a multicam sequence already in place? I want to have a solution, not an avoidance-based workaround for this particular project. Thanks!

Premiere Pro CC v8.1 - Timeline Lag after update

So my system is pretty fast, and it's becoming a trend that with every CC update, the program seems to work slower and slower, to the point where now I'm getting lag for simple tasks such as dragging the edge of a clip for trimming, or positioning a clip in the program monitor (whether dragging manually or altering the number values. The lag is very large, sometimes waiting up to 15 seconds before the command can complete. I'm working on a feature film shot in 5K on the RED Epic. I've cleaned my cache, I have rendering set to Memory, not Performance (I've tried it both ways and it doesn't make a difference). Shared RAM memory is 63.9 for Premiere Pro among other shared applications. Sequence settings match the footage. I just don't know what else to do at this point.
Here are my specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
Premiere Pro CC 2014 v8.1
Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.6Ghz (8 CPUs)
64GB Hyper Ram 1600MHz
Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5
Premiere runs off the Boot Drive, footage runs from external drives connected via USB 3.0.

Can you send me some logs / reports from the Spin dumps? (info below for those that may have questions)
If you can "Sample Process" in the Activity Monitor when things get slow that would be great. Feel free to e-mail for more details, if needed.
We are very interested in resolving this issue. We are actively looking for users that will help us get more information and repro steps.
Feel free to email me directly at [email protected]
Thank you,

Mixing in Audition Exporting From Premiere Pro

Hello,
I have finished a project in PP CS6 and will now try and mix it in Audition CS6.
I have 14 tracks, including mono and stereo files, sometimes on the same tracks. All my sound files are 24 bit or higher.
I´m faced with 2 issues:
1. How to create a 5.1 mix in Audition using the export feature (Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition > Sequence) if my original files are mono and stereo? When it opens in Audition it doesn´t let me create 5.1 tracks. To create a 5.1 session in Audition, the 5.1 option is selected when creating it, but in this case the export process from PP creates the session automatically.
2. When I export the project to Audition it creates a xml file. When I click to save the project it shows it as 16 bit and doesn´t give me an option to raise that rate. How so? What is the fix?
I´m also confused with the Audition Multitrack controls. Sometimes I create a 5.1 track and it shows the 5.1 dial on the track, sometimes it doesn´t. Are there any good tutorials to understand how that works?
Thanks a lot.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Mac - Timeline Previews are being Killed... Any way to stop this ?

Hi...
On Video track one, I have the track height very high so that I can see the footage poster frames. I love editing this way.
Lots of times, I will edit simultaneously between multiple sequences. My problem is that after a while PPRO just kills the poster frames,
and when I enter the sequence that I was just editing in, I have to wait for pPRO to rebuild them... AGAIN.
This takes time.
Tried saving the project to have PPRO NOT kill the previews... But that does NOT help..
Any ideas of how I can get PPRO to maintain those Poster Frames...
Thanks

I never use that function at all.
That is probably because you dont work with skimming... I do..
I would go mad and grow old if I had to double-click footage and watch it in the source panel, the way the Premiere Crew intended for it, so I use an alternate workflow...
Skimming
Example;
1 - I'll Import several rushes residing in several folders.
2 - I create one sequence per rush, sometimes one sequence per Scene
3 - Then Automate the whole rush to the sequence
4 - I'll create my main sequence and call that story board.
5 - on the Top of the screen, I'll open the RUsh-Sequences
6 - In the center I have the program monitor along with a scope
7 - I have programmed a short cut to the "Move Playhead to Cursor" function
When I depress that shortcut, and move the mouse the playhead will follow the mouse wherever it goes, and since I use RAID0 and Prores the movie updates immediately.
Just like skimming which is the most (and ONLY) powerful feature FinalCutX brought about. Nevertheless a feature that experienced editors have been using for years...
8 - So now, instead of using the ultimate slow method of double clicking a clip in the project panel and opening it in the source monitor, I'll just move the mouse over any clip while pressing my shortkey
and that is the fastest way of skimming thru' (sorting) your footage. I'll set in/out points on the fly.
9 - I have BOTH the Rush-sequence and storyboard sequence open in TWO separate timelines and I'll just drag whichever clip I have trimmed from the rush down to the storyboard sequence.
This workflow is being seriously crippled by the previews being deleted all the time...
I was never much of a text reader and I find it 100% more intuitive to find my clips by looking at image-representations of them instead of reading the clip names...
I am including a small demo-video displaying the workflow. It was taking off my 30" Apple display and down-sized.
The movie (compressed) is stuttering but that stutter does not appear on the local mac in PPRO
You will see me skimming thru the rush-sequence and with the mouse-wheel scrolling to different locations on the timeline. This way of sorting and finding clips is extremely fast, IMO ;-)
I was not aiming to make a tutorial, just to display my workflow so that you can see what I am rambling about ;-)

Premiere Pro file size and timeline duration limits?

Hello. Are there any file size limits for importing JPEG or MPEG files and exporting WMV? I am looking at some extremely long footage. Thanks!
Message was edited by: Kevin Monahan

I understand clients ask for things, and normally I would suggest that you merely export a second time to show them the H.264 results. Higher quality and smaller file.
I don't know how long it would take to export a 24 hour sequence though. That might make it a waste of time. Unless it can be done overnight, I suppose.
You file size should be interesting. It will depend on how low you can take the bitrate and be happy. Or, it might be a case of using a higher bit rate and just dealing with a large hard drive.
Please post again with your results. This is a new one for me, and I would love to hear about it.

Display Issues in Premiere Pro CS4

I'm having some weird display glitches in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 in the timeline area. I attached a picture that shows what it looks like. This happens whenever I drag clips on the timeline and it makes it so it takes a lot longer to edit my videos.
I'm really hoping that Apple or Adobe fixes this issue. I really can't afford to upgrade my creative suite to CS 5.5! And I would prefer to stick with OS X Lion.
Well it looks like I can't upload an image. Any ideas?

Keep in mind that the following sustained transfer rates - as a rough rule of thumb - apply:
SATA & eSATA: 80 - 100 MBps
Firewire 800:       50 - 60 MBps
Firewire 400:       30 - 35 MBps
USB2:                20 - 25 MBps (depending on other USB devices connected it could be even lower.)
I agree that your storage capacity with 1 TB is enough, but the interface is too slow. If you do not have an eSATA port on you Vaio, you can get a Xpress card to eSATA connector with two eSATA ports to cover that. Also keep in mind that the C drive may be a 4200 or 5400 RPM disk and not 7200.
Mininmum requirements state: a DEDICATED 7200 RPM disk and while your USB disk is 7200, it lacks in the sustained transfer rate when compared to SATA or eSATA. BTW I think Adobe should explicitly mention SATA or better.
Above I mentioned for USB depending on other USB devices attached. USB shares the bandwidth among all devices connected. If you have a USB stick connected, a USB receiver for wireless keyboard or mouse, a USB printer, they all have to share the bandwidth and further reduce the sustained transfer rates of the USB disk.
Hope this explains it a bit.

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Editing audio in a Timeline panel

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/editing-audio-timeline-panel.html

Or, go into the audio units format of the timeline and manually adjust the audio portion of the cut to hit as close to a zero crossing as possible. Jim's way is the easiest, and sufficient for most people, but if you need perfect cuts and not a quick fade, it is possible to do it in Premiere Pro.

Windows Refresh from 8.1 to 8. Will it affect my Premiere Pro 7 CC projects?

Hey,
I'm looking to refresh my HP Pavilion laptop. It came with Windows 8 installed and I upgraded to 8.1 since I purchased it. I've got issues with it waking from sleep mode and have read that a refresh may fix that problem.
My question is - will refreshing Windows from 8.1 back to Windows 8 affect my Abobe Premiere Pro projects, sequences and timelines?
The Microsoft page offers this advice "If your PC isn’t performing as well as it once did, and you don’t know why, you can refresh your PC without deleting any of your personal files or changing your settings."
BUT it also says this
Warning
Applications you’ve installed from websites and DVDs will be removed. Applications that came with your PC and apps you've installed from the Windows Store will be reinstalled. Windows puts a list of removed applications on your desktop after refreshing your PC.
Will Premiere Pro 7 CC be affected?
Thanks for any advice!

I checked and it seems my Windows partition is clean.
I guess I just needed the clarification whether me double clicking on the .lnk file is a problem, if it was considered "opened" by my Mac, or it just didn't open, and the fact that I actually opened a html file while my pendrive was affected. But since it's just a Windows issue, I guess I'm good to go, eh?

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/overview-audio-audio-mixer.html

The last section "Customize a VST effect in an options window" for a beginner working their way through the manual makes no sense. VST and how to apply it is not explained, and no explanation appears prior in the manual. To be blunt, it's just a nonsense.

Premiere Pro Mixing Up Clips

Problem
I have a problem where Premiere Pro CS 5.5 is mixing up the thumbnails in my timeline and the clips in the export preview window. I exported my film and while watching it, some clips are in the wrong places. It is very aggravating because in my timeline it does not mix up the clips. It only mixes up some of the thumbnails. In the export preview window it mixes up the clips as well.
Examples
Here is an example of mixing up the thumbnail:
In this image, the thumbnail for this clip is different than the actual scene. The thumbnail is from an earlier scene in the film. In export, it shows the correct clip.
Here is an example of mixing up the clip:
In the image, the clip shown in the main timeline monitor is correct. The thumbnail in the timeline is of another clip. The clip in the export preview is another one. The two clips are at 00:04:54:18 in the image above. I do not have any idea why this is happening.

You can try deleting the Cache or resetting preferences.
