Need Help Fast Re: Problems with capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I am working on a project with a deadline. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My camera is a Sony Digital Video Recorder DCR-HC26. My computer is a Dell with OS of Windows Vista. I have been capturing numerous clips from hundreds of mini digital video cassettes. Yesterday, I attempted to capture from a Radio Shack Mini DV Metal Evaporated mini DV digital videocassette. For whatever reason it will not capture. I have never used one of these tapes before. Could it be the tape? After I click on "Capture," the screen shows NO PICTURE of sound, however, it plays on the camera. It can't be the camera settings because all the other tapes work. . . Any advice?

you need to post in the correct forum olivia.

Problems with capturing in adobe premiere 6.5

     I am using the following PC: Intel P 4 2.8 Ghz, XP professional SP 3, 1.5 GB RAM, HDD SATA 500GB 7200rpm, GPU NVidia 5200, capture device Pinnacle DV 500DVD, and using Adobe Premiere 6.5 software.
     Thus, while capturing the uncompressed digital signal standard definition (IEE 1394), the result has pale colors and low resolutions, even if my soft settings are set on highest values.
     Should I make same improvements in my hardware config, (I know the PC ain't the latest, but this is a guess of mine).
     What should I do ?
     Thank you for your advice.
Best regards,
Marcel

I use a Dv500 with Premiere 6.02 to digitize 8mm analog camcorder tapes, and the resulting files are exactly like the original tapes http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
Digitizing from an analog tape is what is known as "capturing"
If you are only TRANSFERRING from a digital tape camcorder via the firewire connection, your Dv500 is not doing anything at all to the video... it is a simple COPY of the video from tape to computer, since the video file is already in digital format
More details are needed... such as camcorder make and model... and are you really doing a firewire transfer, or are you digitizing from analog?

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,
Ruben Gimenez.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition

Media Pending with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

First of all guys, I know this is not a brand new issue but please help me out as am providing details. Thank you.
I have JVC Everio jvc everio gz-hd5 60GB camcorder. As you probably know that it records file into .TOD format, I converted them into .MPG format. This is how I am importing to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 before it's showing me golden little screen displaying PENDING MEDIA forever.
1. Import -> new project
2. Capture format -> HDV
3. Available Preset -> HDV108030p
Operating system detail
Microsoft XP Pro Version 2002 Service pack 3
2.19 GHZ, 1.99GB RAM, Intel core 2 duo CPU
p.s - I read some forums but the way they explained is too confusing.

I dont think I have enough info about your computers and hard drives and so on to tell if you can really edit HD stuff , but at this point you should really convert the TOD file first anyway. I don't think just renaming the extension will make it work OK, but I found some info on the internet that might help you convert to a more editor friendly format...
Standard definition video is stored in MPEG program stream container files with MOD extension; in most other systems these files have extension MPG or MPEG. High definition video is stored in MPEG transport stream container files with TOD extension; in most other systems these files have M2T extension.[2] Transport stream files can be converted into more common program stream files without recompressing the video itself. For example, FFmpeg, a free software program, performs the conversion on Windows and Linux systems with the following command: ffmpeg -i myclip.TOD -acodec copy -vcodec copy myclip.mpg. Software, included with TOD camcorders, performs this conversion as part of capture process. A similar command is used for MOD files: ffmpeg -i myClip.MOD -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ab 384k myClip.mpg -acodec mp2 -ab 192k -newaudio.
You Gspot screenshot is good, and it shows that it doesn't recognize anything about the codec and codec name..the right side of the GSpot is usually full of information about the video file...like the frame size, FPS , aspect ratio, and so on. As you can see from the above paragraph you would probably benefit from converting the TOD file using FFmpeg or some other program like streamclip ( also free program )
That's your first step I think...
You will have to know what your video file is...from the camera manual you can find out the frame size and fps used, whether it is progressive or interlaced, etc... The reason you will need to know about your video file is because when you open the TOD file in a program like streamclip to convert it, you will want to convert it to basically the same specs, but with as a different "codec" and file type....but keep the same video characteristics as the original.

This is all kind of like sneaking into Santa's bag to see if the new toys he's gonna bring us are durable enough to play with until NEXT Christmas, when it's only a couple of weeks away from THIS Christmas.
(By the way, if you don't celebrate Christmas, you're really missing out...not just on the holiday itself, but you're also missing out on my metaphor).
I'm just about positive that everything's not going to work as well as we want, that it's not going to do quite enough of the stuff we need it to do, and that there will be bugs. The people who scream the loudest about current missing features or feature requests will probably be continuing the trend in the near future. Adobe reps will be very interactive on the forums for a few weeks or months while we all troubleshoot in our working environments and then they will disappear until it gets close to the next release.
BONUS ROUND - Mobutu (or jujufactory...right?) will still not upgrade, and will still demand support in a software he doesn't use for hardware that he doesn't use while likewise judging everything invented prior to the last 5 weeks to be "OBSOLETE!!"
Have I pretty much summed it all up?
At any rate, I would expect Dynamic Link in Encore to work the same way as Dynamic Link in PPro. In PPro, you can import multiple AE compositions through Dynamic Link. In Encore, you can import multiple AE comps as well. So...pretty likely that Encore will handle PPro sequences likewise. AE comps currently work fine with the Automatic transcode settings, so I'm guessing that carries over to PPro.
One of the After Effects documentation guys just provided a summary (per forum user request) of EVERYTHING that was modified/added/removed in CS4, in spite of the various ways of gleaning the information from the online docs. So...maybe if we keep hollering, we'll get the same thing here....?
C'mon Adobe...it's not like you're busy working on CS4 anymore. After all, the release of CS5 is only ONE YEAR AWAY!!! GO GO GO!!!
Final thoughts...I like how the press releases always refer to each release now as the "biggest product launch in Adobe's history." Isn't that to be expected? Shouldn't we expect each version to be "bigger" than the last? I mean, what else are they gonna say? "Well, you know...CS4, it's pretty good, VERY good actually. But the last version was a lot more meaningful. A lot more exciting. That last one was AWESOME. Well...we'll still try to make something out of this."

Help me please! About Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
Everytime i encoding, there is the thing like advertising appear in the clip ( red part - Media Offline / Media hors ligne / Offline medien / Medios sin connecxion .... ). same in picture.
What should i do to make it disappear?
I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Can anyone help me how to fix this pleaseee?

The prime cause for Media Offline is that the link between the Project and the media has been broken. The Project file (the PRPROJ) is but an XML database, and it uses Absolute Paths to link to the actual Asset files. If one was to Rename, Move, Delete an Asset file, PrPro no longer has a link to it. This can happen with external, or Mapped drives, if they are no longer available, or their Drive Letters have changed. This article goes into more detail on some of those causes: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3561281#3561281
Now, the Asset files have NOT been Renamed, Moved, Deleted and their Absolute Path has not changed in any way, there is something else going on, to cause the link to not be recognized.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more about those Asset files, their location, and then all about the location.

Realmente no se que ha pasado quisiera su asistentencia para que me ayuden al respecto ya he desinstalado en instaldo ambos programas tanto adobe premiere com adobe after effects en 2 oportunidades y solo el after effect funsiona pero el premiere y el encoder no.... Tambien lo incicie como administrador y nada sigue igual... Gracias por la ayuda que me puedan prestar al respecto

Nsasy,
Al igual que en el foro de Premiere en inglés, deberías facilitar detalles como:
Version de sistema operativo.
Algun detalle de hardware como tarjeta grafica, memoria, etc. o confirmar que has comprobado que todo tu hardware es compatible con la aplicación
Parece ser que a veces los programas antivirus dificultan o impiden instalaciones, prueba a deasactivarlos mientras instalas el programa.

Capture hdv in Premiere Pro CS4

Hello
I captured hdv in premiere pro CS4,
the file was mpeg.
I wonder,
Why only mpeg file format?
not avi
There is no options in premiere pro CS4? - avi or mpeg

HDV is MPEG2 and capturing is only a tranfer of data, nothing more.

I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

I'm having a similar issue. When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render. Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing. I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it. Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.
