Multitrack OMF Export Issue - CS6

Hello All,
Does CS6 not like exporting an OMF when I have a multitrack audio file? It hangs during OMF export (separate files) and never finishes.
If that is the case, what is the purpose of the multitrack audio file.
ex: I have one stereo track, and one multitrack on the timeline.
Thanks!

Hey TacoRye,
I posted about this like a month ago and got no response. It has made my life hell on this job I'm doing. What happens is when you make the OMF PP is taking the entire audio track that is attached to every clip in your video instead of pairing it down with handles so the OMF is huge. Apparently OMF's can't be over 2 gigs with media embedded. The only work around is to render and replace but then your audio engineer doesn't have handles. (You'd think they'd at least give you handle options on render and replace.) I never ever would have started this edit of 10 different videos using the multi track functions in premiere as they obviously haven't thought through the work flow. You can't even match your audio back to original source to try and replace just the audio portions of clips in your timeline. Absolutely pathetic.

OMF Export issue in Premiere CS6

Hello,
I am trying to export a feature length OMF file for my sound mixer. I have the tracks I want on and selected. I then do File - Export - OMF. I do encapsulated audio, with 60 frame handles. I then start the export. I encodes through the files then it starts "generating metadata" and making its "First Pass Parsing Tracks", but it will immediatly jump to about 1/3 of the way through and just sit there. I have left it for about 3 hours and it still sits there. I have tried saving to various folders/hard drives and still no luck. I have seen people having problems with the omf working with other programs, but I haven't seen many people with this problem. Deadline is fast approaching and I desperately need to get this out to my sound mixer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Hi Anthony,
I'm using Premier Pro 6 from the creative cloud, and am also doing a feature length doc. I'm having issues exporting an OMF and it originally came from FCP 7. I'm wondering if you've had any other reflections on the issues mentioned above and if you can offer any more insight? I'm pretty sure I don't have any filter applied anywhere as I had only exported it from FCP 7 when I was in the logging phase.
Someone else mentioned using Audition. Send the whole sequence to Audition and export an OMF from there. Have you tried to send your feature length doc sequence to Audition and has it been succesfull?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan

OMF Exporting in CS6 for an FCP7 Dummy

Hey guys,
Having a horrible experience exporting an OMF for my audio guy. He is on ProTools. I've tried every type of "track" and exported through both Premiere CS6 and Audition CS6, with no luck.
I'm a long-time user of FCP7, and never had an issue.
Is there an "easy" way to recreate the simple workflow I had in FCP7?
Here's a screenshot of the errors he's getting:
Thanks!

Hi,
I just had a similar issue. I have a feature length doc and I couldn't export an OMF. It would stop about 3/4 the way and give me errors. After some reading I found out that OMF only deals with mono files. So, what I did was I went through ever clip in my timeline and changed each stereo clip to mono. Here's the process:
I'm on a Mac too by the way.
In the timeline, match frame any clip that appears to not be mono. That clip will show up in your viewer. In the file menu, click on Clip/Modify/Audio Channels. Near the top where it says Preset, click the drop down menu and click Mono. A warning will come up to tell you that other clips wont be affected. That's ok, click OK. Then replace the clip in the timeline with the one in the viewer. You should get two audio clips in two audio tracks.
the worst thing you can do, I think, is to have a stereo audio clip in one track. I think Premiers circuts blow up when it sees that.
Hope that helps.
Ryan

OMF Export Issue

Need help exporting an OMF to include the media inside the file (rather than referring to it) For some reason, the resulting exported files are simply shells, meaning they do not contain the media inside the file itself. The file sizes should be much larger.
Any thoughts?
[Please choose a short description for the thread title and only post the actual issue in the main body.]

If I choose Encapsulate in the settings, the audio is included in the OMF, which get's extracted when opening.

Audition Multitrack Mixdown Export Issue

Hello,
It's my first time here and I hope I can get some help. I have a multitrack session, which I want to export to an AIF, but when I do, I end up with a file where the sound cuts out in parts, absolute silence with clicks in others, or just a wall of static at some point in the final AIF. I have what can be bussed, bussed, etc. I have tried exporting some tracks in groups, hoping to reassemble them in a new session, but even then I has the same clipping/noise/static issue. Two other songs have exported just fine (granted, they do not have as many stems). What could I do to solve this issue? Do I need a more powerful machine? I can't afford one and I need to get these sessions exported fairly urgently. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Richie

Hey, thank you, for the reply. I keep my sessions pretty simple; the most complicated thing is sending some tracks, like backing vox, to a mix bus. But yes, even a WAV is not happening properly.
I did, however, come across this on a "known issues" article on the Adobe site:
Export of mixdown when using multiple instances of Full Reverb or Reverb effects cab results in crash in low memory conditions (issue #2780894):
Export mixdown of a session that contains multiple Reverb or Full Reverb effects applied in realtime results in Adobe Audition crashing. This issue occurs in low- or no-free memory conditions. Both Reverb and Full Reverb effects produce warning messages indicating the resource intensity of these two effects. Adobe suggests bouncing tracks containing Reverb or Full Reverb incrementally if session contains multiple clips or tracks with either of these effects applied. Conditions and results vary from system to system depending upon configuration and available and free memory as well as use of these two effects.
Full Reverb and Reverb effects can introduce long delays resulting in changes made in the user interface not being instantly heard (issue #2808053):
Full reverb and reverb effects (being non-real time/high process effects) use a long delay line to produce an audible effect. In extreme situations and settings, this delay can be up to 30 seconds long. Adobe Audition properly delays all audio (via Adobe Audition's built-in delay compensation) so that you hear the affected audio in proper time and context. During playback, any adjustments made to the audio are similarly delayed. Starting or stopping playback flushes the delay line buffer and any changes are audible immediately on next playback. An additional workaround can be achieved by using the new track pre-render feature on any tracks or busses using non-real time, high process effects.
I do use Full Reverb on a few tracks. I might have to look into a way of recreating my reverbs for these, if it turns out to be the problem. I'll check this on Monday and see whether removing the Full Reverbs fixes the issue.
What do you think?

Syncing Audio with Merge Clips option and OMF export question/issue

Hi,
In the past when I've edited video, when it came to syncing audio I always did it manually. This time, using Premiere Pro CC, I used the merge clips option, to speed up the syncing audio process, which was a huge time saver with excellent results.
The question/issue I have..is that when I get my OMF exported for my sound editor, will this screw anything up, since on the project file, it doesn't use the original audio file, but the one that was merged. And in the project list, I don't even need to have the original audio file listed, since it's already been merged into a clip, which I used in the project. I know it's the same file used, but will it mess anything up since a merged clip audio was used instead of just dragging the original track onto the timeline?
- Ken

A good way to know for sure (and therefore feel comfortable that you're doing the right thing) is to do a test OMF export, then open this in Audition. This ill show you exactly what you're exporting.

Premiere CC to ProTools OMF/XML issues

XML and OMF audio timecode does not relink properly in external applications with my current Premiere CC / Mavericks configuration. Reverting to CS6 solves the issue described below...cannot say with certainty if previous CC versions solve the issue.
Exporting OMF's to our sound engineer do not relink properly in ProTools - I've tried every available method for OMF export (encapsulated, referenced, etc).
Exporting XMLs have a related issue - if an XML export is brought into another application (e.g. FCP 7) The audio region is correct but audio is not synced properly...it is pulling from incorrect timecode. This is externally recorded audio, recorded separately from source video. Video tracks are correctly synced.
I can get accurate XML's out of Audition. Reverting to CS6 via XML and exporting OMF from there is my current workaround.
Mac OSX 10.9.2
Premiere CC 7.2.2

Hi Andy,
Sorry this isn't working for you.
Can you export a much simpler version of your sequence?
Can you try exporting only with mono tracks?
Are there any nested sequences in the sequences?
For file export, did you choose "encapsulate?"
Are all the clips the same sample rate?
Does the sample rate of the clips match sequence settings?
Audition should work. If you have changed any of the above, please try another export from Audition.
Thanks,
Kevin

'OMF export failed due to internal error' message

Audition 5.0.1 crash on OMF export

I'm getting a crash everytime I try to export an OMF from Audition 5.0.1 ( and also from 5.0.0 )
I'm on a mac 10.7.3 any clues, anyone else seeing this?

Hi Durin
Actually no it wasn't working on 5.0 either, I tried installing the update patch in the hope it would fix it. Thanks for all your help with this.

OMF export failed due to internal error

I get this error message whatever I do when I try to export as OMF:
"OMF export failed due to internal error"
I tried OMF 1 and 2.
I tried to uncheck "include audio".
I tried an extremely small project (one region, one track).
Always the same error. Problem is there's absolutely no information on what kind of internal error this is.
All other export options (AFF, Open TL and Final Cut) works.
Any ideas?

I suppose that beside CCM 4.1(2) you are using AC 1.4 (1), if yes, then you need to upgrade to AC 1.4 (1) ES11 or upgrade at least to CCM 4.1(3)ES42 or CCM 4.1(3) sr3c

Bizzare export issue

Here is a very weird export issue. Windows XP.
Project is set at h264 1920x1080 mono audio 29.97 fps
I have 30 shots that make up the sequence. Each shot is exactly 90 frames. I exported each sequence at h264 1920x1080 with one channel of audio. The first shot exports just fine and is 5 MB. The second shot exports at 10 MB. The third is 15 MB, the tenth shot is 50MB. But the picture is still 90 frames for each shot. BUT, when I export without audio each exported file is just 5 MB. If I look at the properties of each clip the duration of the video and audio is just 90 frames. If I open one of these clips in QuickTime Pro and re-export it as source then the files size goes back to 5 MB; same video, same audio yet with the correct file size.
Anyone seen this before?
Is there a setting that could be incorrect?

Weird, man. Not sure what might cause that.

Crystal JRC PDF Export Issue

We are experiencing a PDF export issue with Crystal JRC version 12.2.202. The PDF report shows 1 of 3 pages but ONLY the first page is generated. When this occurs, ALL other users that are exporting to PDF experience the same issue with any multiple page report. I can't find any errors in the log that would indicate what the problem is. To resolve the issue, I have to recycle the WebLogic application server that hosts the JRC, which would indicate something gets "locked" in memory and gets cleared when the app server is bounced.
Any ideas on how to resolve this ?

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the response!
Though, the mentioned Sun JVM Bug explains the root-cause, the Bug status also state that it is not fixed yet.
Also, we are reluctant to change the JVM Option to -Xint due to unknown impacts on JVM optimizations.
Is there a patch released for CrystalReports to deal with this behavior? We are using CRJ runtime 11.5.7.620 and seeking for a patch on this version.
Thanks.

PP CS5.5 FLV To MP4 Export Issues / Problems

I just upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. I do a fair amount of converting/exporting of imported FLV files (downloaded from internet news sites) to H.264/AAC w/ MP4 wrappers using Premiere Pro (PP) and Adobe Media Encoder (AME). My equipment is a 1+ yr. old HP Win 7 Pro w/ an Intel i970 Quadcore, 12 Gb RAM and MSI nVidia GTX 470 GPU. I have never experienced any queue or export issues w/ CS5 (at least that I noticed), but I am experiencing noticeably degraded queue export and direct export problems with these files in CS5.5.
Description: (1) The queue export times for the exact same imported FLV clip(s) using the exact same sequence settings and H.264/MP4 export settings are noticeably slower in CS5.5 (sometimes 2x, depending on the export settings, e.g. using maximum render quality) than in CS5; (2) My MSI Afterburner GPU monitoring software indicates 5-10% GPU usage during queue/export in CS5, while indicating 0% GPU usage (flatline) in CS5.5; and (3) When I attempt to direct export these files using CS5.5 I get the following error message: "The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist."
I suspect that it may have something to do with "conforming" anomalies when the FLV file is imported into PP, but I would put that squarely in the category of rank speculation on my part.
Has anyone experienced the same or similar problems or have any insight into what may be the problem(s)? Of course, thanks for any help/insight you can provide.
Jim

What do you mean by a better routine?
A better compression routine than H.264.
Is the quality better than H.264?
Yes.
Does this use an MOV wrapper?
Yes.
Also, would it import correctly into PPro?
Yes.
we would import files into PPro exported out of FCP and would get a red pixelated glitch during preview and export. Does this codec solve this problem as well if it is an MOV wrapper?
I don't know anything about FCP.
Sorry for all the questions, just want to get things right before diving into a new codec.
It's harmless, and free.
Download it and run some tests.

Simple flash export issue

hello
I'm trying to export a flash video using Adobe media encoder from Premier Pro, but when I do I get this error " there are no clips to build".
I have another file that I am able to export and it does not have this problem.
They are Windows Media files and play in Premier fine. I am using Premier Pro CS3.
Lastly, I'm not a video expert but I really need to get these up on the web for work, there is a lot of pressure and I need to get it done.
Regards,
Tom
