Needing help with Adobe Premiere Pro

Yes, I know it is ancient but I still use it. I use it for my school's daily news broadcast. We capture our students as if they are presenting a live news program and then assemble in the timeline. We use a miniDV camcorder and firewire. Once we have all of the elements in the timeline, we then are able to play the timeline via the firewire (hooked to the camcorder) through the play/edit mode through a VCR out via coaxial cable to all of the classrooms in our school.
My current problem is that I encountered an error while creating a movie. I have a preset that saves versions every 3 minutes. I tried opening each of them but it just keeps saying it's loading but that is it...nothing ever comes on the screen. I moved a title slide (in a folder outside of the project folder destination) right before I had decided to make the movie. I did get one version to open---finally but thought...well, let's try a later one...so I don't have to "recreate" everything I had just done....then none of them would open...not even the one I got open.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions on a different way to do what I am doing using newer technology...please share.
Finally, is there updates that maybe I need to download or something to continue to be able to use Premiere Pro???
Please share any and all suggestions...desperate in Missouri

John,
Take a trip in the WABAC Machine.
Now, I could be wrong, but when the OP said "Yes, I know it is ancient but I still use it." I assume they meant the original version. The one without a number. The one some people called Premiere Pro 7, or Premiere 7. Or whatever. The one right after Premiere 6.
I remember having to go through the numbering explanation in my tutorials on Premiere Pro 1.5 since confusion reigned. You can still watch the introductory video and get my explanation starting around the 40 second mark.
But, as I said, I could have it wrong. They might have a different version.

  • 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.

  • Help with Adobe Premiere Pro and AME CS6

    Hi all,
    First off, i would like to state that i'm pretty inexperienced in video editing, so please keep that in mind when answering or questioning something.I will try to explain my question to the best of my abilities, but please answer in a 'simple' manner, and don't shoot me when i miss something obvious.
    I came across a 'performance?'-issue (slow exporting) for which i don't really know how to find the solution. I've been struggling with it for a while.
    Your (any) help or insight is greatly appreciated!
    My system:
    Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit (Service Pack 1)
    RAM 20 GB
    Intel Core I73770 (dual quad core)
    Direct x 11.0
    Nvidia NVS 310
    Adobe premiere pro CS6 (upgrading to adobe CC is unfortunately not an option)
    Adobe media encoder CS6
    They asked me to edit some video's on a regular basis, nothing complicated, just a 'training'-video. Length of video is about 2 hours edited.
    File info:
    Source file is 1920x1080 (1,0), 25fps, Upper, 2:11:10:24, 48000Hz, Stereo
    There is one audio channel (left is standard mic, right is a shotgun mic) which is split to two audio channels, edited in aodbe audition (basic noise reduction)
    I've been running into export times of over 12 hours (exported to mp4), which i'm guessing is a bit much.. . The slowness is also occuring with other export settings.
    I came across a possible solution (in short: changing the Video Rendering and Playback in the project settings of APP) but that field is inactive for me...? what's up?
    "Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6
    I don't really know what to do from here, to figure out the solution. Any suggestions on fixing or troubleshooting the extremely long export times??
    Thx in advance.

  • Hi. I need urgent help with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

    Hello there. I am new to using Adobe Premiere CS3. As I have given up on Vegas. But I am stuck at the first hurdle! Please help.
    When I load up Premiere, I select new project. Once I click that it asks me to load a preset. And I have no idea what to choose! And I have a project that needs to be edited, I am really anxious about it all.
    My footage that I want to edit was shot on a 600D DSLR. And I dont know what preset to choose for the best quality when I render. (I cannot recall what shuitter speed I shot at I think it was varied).
    Belowe is a picture that I am stuck on.
    So IF YOU COULD PLEASE tell me what to select for my 600D footage I would be so grateful.!!!
    (I also plan to put the edit onto a DVD - If that matters). (And Youtube).

    Or, if you don't have a 64bit computer and Win7 64bit to run CS6, take a look at Premiere Elements 10
    I **think** it works with your camera, but check the PreElements forum before you buy

  • Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for the Windows XP PC

    Just got it today, so I could make my own video and audio files from pre-existing ones.  I first used a version of Adobe Premiere back in school in the '90s, and seemed to easily make them there, while not working on school work.  There was a row for inserted video, and a row below that for inserted audio.  I'm out of college currently, and just bought Elements 9, as said, but am struggling with it.  Could someone please tutor me to get me started?  Perhaps even talk over the phone?  I'm trying to combine different video and audio tracks into a new singular video/audio file.
    Thanks in advance.
    >>
    Welcome to the forum, but unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere Pro, CS 4 and Earlier forum.
    Instead, you should post to the PrElements Forum, as few here will know anything about PrE 9.
    Now, the starting secret of PrE is your Source Files. Can you tell us the full details of those?
    Next, matching those to the correct Project Preset, is the next step. Can you tell us what you chose at New Project?
    For a list of some of the resources for learning PrE, see this ARTICLE.

  • Need help with Adobe Connect Pro templates

    Hi Everyone -
    I'm working with a colleague to help her prepare a few webinars. I originally created a series of meetings for her, but she wants to use customized templates. Apparently, you cannot apply a customized template to an existing meeting; you need to select the template when you create the meeting.
    My colleague reports the following:
    I deleted the webinars you created in Adobe Connect so that I could re-create them with my new meeting template.
    I saved the my meeting template first in "My Templates" and tried creating the meetings, but was unsuccessful at using the template. Then I tried creating the meetings with my template in "Shared templates." Still no luck.
    No matter what I do, once the meeting is set up (having selected the my meeting template) and I enter the meeting room, I just get blank space and this message:
    "The template you are looking at is the one we use if the default template feature is not working."
    I then emailed support at Clarix and got the following, fairly unhelpful advice:
    What we are assuming is a template was deleted. Now, the way templates work: There are default ones, used to create a meeting. If you use that meeting to create a template, the new template in fact relies on the previous existing template. So, you are winding up with a chicken and the egg scenario – it doesn’t know where to begin.
    So, best practice – never delete a template – any template that was created based on the original will not work.
    This doesn't seem to be a solution to a problem, and since I'm new to working with templates in ACP, I am wondering if anyone else out there has any advice.
    Thanks in advance!
    Lucy

    Hi Lucy,
    In order to use a meeting as a template you have to move that particular meeting into shared Template folder and then while creating any new meeting you will get an option to use that meeting as a Template for your New meeting. Also please revert with some more details so that we can look into that matter more clearly.
    Also you can contact the Technical Support for Connect its free of cost the number is 18004223623
    Thanks!

  • I need help with adobe premiere elements 12

    I just bought premiere elements 12 and i tried to upload a video to youtube and it was longer than 15 minutes and it said it was to long to upload to youtube. I have uploaded a 22 minute video before how can i upload a longer video thanks.

    YouTube won't allow you to  upload a video that long directly from Premiere Elements.
    If you've got a modified YouTube account that allows longer videos, you can do so by manually uploading a video you output using Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the YouTube HD preset.

  • XDCAM HD workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Macbook Pro

    Hi folks,
    I have an assignment for a TV production to secure and convert the data (mxf files XDCAM HD 422 1080i 50 / 50 Mbit/sec with 8 audio channels) from Sony XDCAM camcorders (PDW-700) for postproduction.
    The producer wants me to convert the mxf files during production to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for faster and smooth editing during postproduction.
    I'm not sure about the final output yet, but I guess it will be either 720p50 or 1080i 25, since the production will be broadcast and as far as I know this is the standard for HD on German television. It is also not clear which NLE will be used for editing (usually one of the producers edits their projects with FCP, but this time they've got their hands full and are still looking for someone to outsource postproduction.
    Unfortunately, my Macbook is getting fixed as we speak, so I can't try things out.
    Since this is the first time I'm doing this workflow, could someone please check if I got everything right?
    1. Can someone please confirm that I can actually convert the mxf files using AME CC to Apple ProRes 422?
    Or do I need to install any other tools/converters for this task? Does MPEG streamclip do the job? Any other freeware?
    2. When converting to Apple ProRes422, the producer suggested to deinterlace the footage (1080i 50) to 25p, if 720p or 1080p I have to find out tomorrow since our conversation got interrupted this afternoon.
    In my opinion this doesn't make sense, though. First, if output to 1080i 25 it has to stay interlaced anyway. Second, in case the output will be 720p 50 I would edit the footage either natively or in Apple ProRes 422, but leave deinterlacing until the very end when outputting to the final format. This way I could use an advanced deinterlacer, e.g. the one from Magic Bullet Suite, rather than just checking some deinterlace box in the export settings for Apple ProRes 422.
    The reason the producer suggested to deinterlace right away when using  an intermediate like ProRes was that she and the client got irritated by the jagged lines from the interlaced footage when editing the last project with the same requirements on a progressive display.
    3. What would be the best solution to tackle this issue (jagged lines) during editing?
    As I said my Mac is getting fixed, so I have no way of trying things out,and I usually edit DSLR footage which is progressive anyway.
    But if I remember correctly I can switch my monitor between 1080p and 1080i. This should do the trick, shouldn't it?
    4. Can I keep all of the 8 audio tracks when converting to ProRes using AME CC ?
    5. Is ProRes422 (HQ) really necessary, or is the regular quality sufficient for this kind of job?
    6. Let's assume the whole project would be edited within Adobe Premiere Pro CC and  system specs as stated below:
    Since Adobe Premiere Pro CC has native support for  XDCAM HD is there any advantage of using an intermediate like ProRes at all?
    How smooth is native editing with XDCAM HD in Premiere Pro CC? I don't think there will be more than 3-4 video tracks in use...
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Jim! I knew there must be a reason xdcam is widely uses for eng aquistion :) I think they used FCP 6 or 7 on their last project... So what about monitoring interlaced footage on a progressive screen? Any advice on that? Is there a converter built in to APP CC that deinterlaces in realtime when monitoring interlaced sources on a progressive screen? And would you agree that deinterlacing source material is best left right before outputting?

    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.

    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • Export multichannel mp4/h.264 with Adobe Premiere Pro CC

    Dear community,
    we currently test the Adobe Premiere Pro CC trial (German) on a Windows 7 Professional PC.
    However, we are not succentful in exporting a multichannel mp4/H.264 clip.
    We haven't found an answer on our issue so far, so I hope that this question was not answered several times before in this forum.
    If we chosse the H.264 exporter, we cannot select a multichannel audio export (only mono, stereo, 5.1).
    In contrary, if we select the Quicktime exporter, we are able to export our sequence with a 4 channel audio master with 4 mono tracks, but we can only export it with a DVCPro Codec in a mov container.
    If we try to select a HD H.264 preset we get an error alert stating that the preset contains a not compatible video codec.
    What are we doing wrong?
    Thanks for every suggestion.
    Thanks in advance
    André

    Thanks for your thoughts, Richard.
    Your are right, we currentky use the Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud version.
    We managed it to solve at least the error message. It was caused because Quicktime was not installed together with the Adobe Premiere Pro / AME setup on our computer.
    After we installed Quicktime 7 manually, we can select a Quicktime/H.264 preset without any problems within the exporter settings.
    However, the Quicktime/H.264 export dialog seems to only allow a mono or stereo audio export. No multichannel-audio export.
    This possibility is only displayed in Richards case, if we select the Quicktime exporter and an Uncompressed Video or DV preset.
    Our question to the Adobe developer guys is the reason behind this limition? Other video authoring prograns can export a mp4 with H.264 Codec with multichannel AAC without any problems.
    How can we do this with Adobe Premiere Pro (not necessarily via Quicktime)?

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.
