Need help with Premiere CS4 Export...

I currently shoot HD video with a Canon Vixia HF S10 digital camcorder (link goes to Canon's site). I shoot at the highest quality available, MXP 24 Mbps (1920x1080). When I bring the video over to my machine, it comes over as an .mts file which is the AVCHD file format (link goes to Wikipedia article on the format). I import these .mts files into Adobe Premiere (CS4). I import them into a AVCHD 1080p30 (29.97) Sequence. I do my editing, adding title screens, music, whatever. The problem comes when I go to export the final product into a usable format.  I've tried all different sorts of formats to export to and I can't get any usable results. If I select, for instance, H.264 HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (a preset within Premiere) the video comes out extremely choppy...as in the audio will play and the video will hitch along and be mostly out of sync dropping whole sections of the video as it tries to catch up.
My end goal is to be able to export two versions...a higher quality (maybe burned to a DVD or Blu-Ray) and a lower quality (but still HD) for uploading to YouTube/SmugMug.
Any help or thoughts anyone may have would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm... My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to what I built for CS5
Your computer is going to be a bit slower, but I don't see anything really obvious that would cause the output to be choppy
But... have you considered converting to HDV to see if that edits better for you?
Convert AVCHD to HDV http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390605?tstart=0
or use Cineform Neo Scene http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/
Added... Looking at my notes, I use a different AVCHD setting in CS5... have you tried other AVCHD project settings?

  • Need help with reviewer CS4

    I am usung the Captivate reviewer to distribute draft modules.
    The problem I am havving is the .LOCK file - when someone goes to review the module, they have to specify the location of a temp file. (the .lock file). When they have finished that module, then they have to either specify a new location for the next module, ot manually delete the lock file.
    Is there a way to disable the comments logging feature, or have the lock file automatically deleted?
    Thanks

  • I need help with "Premiere CC"!

    Hello my name is Alexander!
    I have problems with "Premiere CC"!
    -> I have two different *.mov-files and I can not place these two individual movie clips after another. How do you do it? (I have created a project!)
    -> It is not so good sound quality with noise and various noises! I wonder if there's any good way to remove it? I have also "Audition CC" but need some help on what to do in that program in such cases.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Sincerely at1981!

    You have created a Project.
    Next you must "Create a Sequence" in that Project.
    That sequence becomes your edit timeline.
    Drag a clip on to the "New Item ICON" at the bottom of the Project Bin
    Your second question is too broad to answer because we cant hear the problems in your audio.

  • Need Help with script: CS4 Flash Buttons

    I created a 3 button bar using Flash CS4. It will link to three different HTML pages in a website. This is one of the three scripts I have on the first frame of the main timeline, the code is for one of the buttons, the other two are really the same with differing button numbers. This code does now open the page up in a NEW BROWSER window, but I would like the page to open in the existing window and not in a new one. The 3 buttons also have down states identified by a frame label of “hold”, I would like the script to set the hold frame or down state to be displayed when the proper page is loaded in the browser .  Will someone please suggest to me what I need to add to this script to achieve this, your time and effort will be appreciated.
    stop();
    button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, illus);
    function illus(e:MouseEvent):void {
        var targetURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("illustrator.html");
        navigateToURL(targetURL);

    Thank you Todd... How about the code to display the Down stage when displayed,
    got any thoughts on this.
    Thanks'

  • I need help with Photoshop CS4 reactivation issue

    It may be more than just an activation issue.  CS4 has always worked beautifully on my iMac until yesterday when it failed to launch.  I tried everything and finally deactivated it, reinstalled it and it still won't launch.  I do not have Photoshop CS4 on any other computer.  I've been all over the web and ran into many people with the same problem.  Adobe won't help resolve CS4 issues so I'm stuck.  HELP!!

    Does launching it give you an error code?

  • Need help with Premiere 6.5 using IEEE1394 firewire and Canopus ADVC110

    I have been using Premiere 6.5 for over 10 years now and had to replace the Pinnacle DV 500 card with a Canopus ADVC 110 and firewire when Windows XP had its Service Pack 2 downloaded. Recently for no apparent reason the Premiere Capture Window is showing Unable to connect to capture driver. I have checked the firewire cable, the ADVC device and the OHCI DV (IEEE1394) device and all appear to be working. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solution?
    Alan

    Alan,
    The Grass Valley/Canopus ADV-110 should come with a copy of the Edius capture software. That is what I would use for the Captures. Just set it to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. Then, Import these into Pr 6.5 for editing. The ADV-110 should allow you to capture from any source hooked to it, whether analog, like VHS, or digital, like DVD from a connected set-top player. I use a similar device in this manner.
    The only slight drawback is that one has no direct Device Control, as they would from a FW connected miniDV camera. I cue up the source player (VHS or DVD), start Edius, after the settings are done, and hit Record, then click my remote for the device deck to Play. Works perfectly.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps. For direct FW Capture in Pr 6.5 you would do that from a miniDV camera. Do not know if Pr 6.5 had full Device Control, or not. PrPro 2.0 was the first Pr version that I used.
    Let us know if this works.

  • Need help with Premiere Pro 2.0

    I have a very old labtop that was running out of disk space.  I opened up the "Preview" folder of Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and deleted all the preview files.  Now Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 will not open.  When it gets to "Loading Write_on.aex", I get this error message:
    Runtime Error!
    Program:...iles/Adobe/Adobe Premiere 2.0/Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    The problem is that Adobe no longer supports this program.  Please help as I cannot open/edit my files!

  • I Need Help With Premiere Pro CC File Issue

    When I shoot video with my Canon XF100 camera for an extended period it creates new files every 5 minutes. In a continous shoot it keeps these separate files in a sub-folder until I hit the stop button. When I recommence shooting it creates a new sub folder and a new file.
    Until recently Premiere Pro CC would read each file seperately in a sub folder but just recently it has started to combine them all. For example, if I was shooting continuously for 15 minutes I would get three 5 minutes filesand Premiere Pro CC would normally see 3 separate 5 minute files with their own file names but just recently it will see 3 files, each 15 minutes in lenghth, and each with the same content even though they have different file names.
    Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, do you have a solution?
    Thanks,
    Milton

    This was an unintended result of an intentional change to fix how Premiere Pro handles spanned MXF clips. To learn a bit more, please consult this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1358012?tstart=0
    Look for the workaround recommended by PPRO developer Wil Renczes.

  • Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 2

    I can drag a large high rez jpeg into timeline. Then when I click to playback....it gets more pixelated. That's a bad beginning. Then, when I go to export it, I've tried several extensions. All look bad during playback on YouTube. This should be pretty simple. High quality jpeg, but is fuzzy in movie. What's going wrong?

    hi Bill -
    ok fine. I have PSDs too. I tried what you said.
    I put a PSD right beside a JPEG in the timeline. I rendered it (which I
    didn't know to do because the instructions don't even mention it. The
    instructions are terrible. Seems it leaves out a lot of info.)
    So, then I click PLAY on my monitor. I see no difference between the PSD
    and the JPEG yet. So, if I want to put this on YouTube, what's the best way
    exactly, without gettting too technical?  It looks like I have the choice
    between Exporting in Mpeg or Quicktime or Windows Media. I think youtube
    likes wmv.

    When you drag the stills to the Timeline, there should be a red line
    above them. Press Enter to Render the Timeline.
     
    Do not know the particulars of PrE 2, but in later versions, you can
    Rt-click on the Program Monitor, and choose Magnification = 100%, rather
    than Fit. You might have to resize your Program Monitor, but check at 100%.
     
    Also remember a few points:
     
    1.) You are looking at a DVD-quality image now, and that was designed
    with low-rez CRT TV's in mind, and NOT hi-rez computer monitors. DVD vs
    hi-rez sources and displays is probably less than what VHS vs DVD was, not
    that long ago.
    2.) You are looking at an emulation, a preview
    3.) Your images have already been compressed to JPEG once, loosing
    quality. That is why I always work in PSD, especially if there has already
    been one JPEG compression, whether in camera, or in the image processing
    stage. I keep JPEG either out of my workflow, or as limited, as is
    possible. Some do not see the quality loss with JPEG compression, but I do,
    and if I can create images that are as good as it gets, I know that my
    clients will be happy.
     
    Good luck,
