New to Premiere Pro - Demo at home, Full version at work. Overlap?

Hi,
This is my first use of this forum so I will start by saying hello! I will most likely be here a few times picking the collective genius of everone - I've started in my new job as videographer for a major car manufacturer
and have gone from using Final Cut Pro X on my home system to Premiere Pro CS6 and all the other CS6 programmes. I've downloaded the demo/ trial version of CS6 onto my home mac
to accquaint myself with the interface etc so I can begin using my employers full programme at a respectable pace.
I was wondering this, if I may ask - I've an MP4 video I'm trying to convert to WMV and cannot locate the 'Windows Media' setting in the preset/ output type when I try and export from within Premiere Pro OR Media Encoder.
Is this codec/ output option not available as I'm using a trial version? I'm hoping so as it would explain my confusion...
Thanks for any replies, I've been looking all over and googling etc but cannot locate a concise answer to my quandry. I wish to maintain optimum quality for the conversion so I'm not keen on using random conversion programmes that come up in searches online.
For what it's worth, I'm using Mac Pro/ OSX Lion on my home computer. Windows 7 at work.
Thanks!
M

I don't have a Mac so did not save a link, but there was a recent (in the past 2-3 weeks?) discussion about this
As I remember, WMV is not an output option on a Mac... unless you buy a plugin to add the option
I do NOT remember the name of the company that sells the plugin

New to Premiere Pro- Errors rendering, exporting, viewing video

I'm very new to Premiere Pro (and my macbook) but have recently got into video editing for my work and am having some issues on my second project. The first project (just a 1 minute video for YouTube) worked fine with no issues. After searching the forumns I have not seen anyone with the same set of issues I am having and I'm hoping someone can point me to what the issue is. I will start with the basic information.
Premiere Pro CS6.0.2
OS X 10.7.4
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Video taken from GoPro- MPEG-4 movie H.264, AAC
Photos taken from Canon Rebel XSI- JPEG
Audio taken from Zoom H1- MP3
No 3rd party effects or programs in use
Sequence "created from clip"
Files stored locally on machine
Tried exporting using many different codecs including, H.264 HD 1080p 29.97 fps, Quicktime, etc
The issues I am having:
PP will not "render entire work area" for projects. It has worked occasionally if I start a brand new project, but never for projects I have been working on. Error shown below.
Video Preview Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
Program monitor will not show video. Upon first opening the project, the preview video will play. If I make any edits, try to render, add/delete clips, the preview just shows black- audio still plays.
Will not export any project consistently
Have only been able to get a project to export when first starting up the computer (not recently though)
Even new projects with only one video file have not been able to export (error below)
Encoding a sequence in media encoder also times out and stops half way through encoding.
When encoding I get this error message sometimes right away and sometimes after encoding for a few minutes.
Adobe Media Encoder
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
"Adobe has encountered an error and needs to close." This happens sometimes when first opening a project, and sometimes after a project has been worked on for awhile, and sometimes after a failed export.
I've got to assume this is some user issue I am having from being new to the software and trying to learn by doing. That being said, I appreciate any advice or solutions. I have tried to delete render files. I have tried to eliminate all of the photos, all of the video, and all of the audio files (thinking perhaps one of them was corrupt or were not compatible with the sequence settings I have). This is just a simple 1 minute video, and I have spent far to long on it trying to find a solution on my own- THANK YOU for helping me find a solution!

New To Premiere Pro - Rendering Out

Hi Guys,
So I am new to Premiere Pro, so I am sorry for the easy question...
So I have set my in and out points, but every time I go to render just that section, it renders the whole sequence... does anyone have any ideas on what i am doing wrong?? I do not want to delete the rest of the sequence everytime i go and render just a small porition of the project... any suggestions on what to do... and how to accomplish my goal...
Thanks
Richard

Can you have multiple work bar's?? For example, if one segment is at the front of the clip and then a couple of mins later you want that piece in addition to the first segment but rendered together... Is that something possible??

Just installed the New CC Premiere Pro CS6 (Family)

Just installed the New CC Premiere Pro CS6 (Family) and now my older Premiere Pro Files no longer work. When I try to open one of these older files I get a pop up that states the files are damage. At this point I am totally shut down.

Hi dbelken45,
Could you please try to open on of those files by going to File and open in Premiere pro CC.
Please let me know if it helps.

I have same problem, been using a macbook 13" for nearly 9 years but it was failing so I bought a macbook pro 15" and after having problems and error messages when trying to download loops ( I finally went to the App Store and opened garageband from there which install some loops), it finally downloaded some but not all the loops that my jam packs had, also I have tons of non-apple loops that I purchased over the years but I want to know if they will work on my new mac ?

Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

New in Premiere Pro CS5. Questions: markers, shortcuts, keyframes, and more!

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I'm an editor from Argentina, with background in Avid media Composer, but I'm switching to premiere pro cs5 for a new job. I was highly and happily surprised with it. But, there's still a couple of things I haven't quite got right, yet.
So, a couple of newbie questions... you'll save me a lot of time if you can answer some of them.
Markers
1a. Can I use markers with different colors?
1b. Is there a way to select more than one marker and delete them at the same time? Of course, with out deleting all of them, just the ones I need.
1c. How can I set up a shortcut for going to next\previous clip marker in the timeline? In shortcuts, I go to Marker>Go go Clip marker> and select a shortcut, but in the timeline it goes nowhere. I have made this work for sequence markers in the timeline, and this shortcut also work for going next\previous marker on a clip in the source monitor.
1d. How can I extend a marker in the timeline? I know I can set the duration of the marker in the pop up menu... but if there a way to do it directly in the timeline?
Razor Tool
2. A simple one. After I've used the razor tool on a clip... how can I join the clip again?
Track Select Tool
3. Can the Track Select Tool, select all the clips to the LEFT, instead of all the clips to the right? In avid there's a Select Right command, which works as the track selector, but there's also a Select Left command, which does the same, but to the left.
Audio Master Meters
4.Another simple one. Can I put this in a horizontal way? It'll fit perfectly in the tool bar then.
Tab sizes
5.Can the tab size be modified? I have "Media browser", "Info", "History", "Effects" all docked... but the size of the panel is such that I can never see the four tabs at once, I have to drag the little bar at the top. Can I have the tabs be smaller so that I can see the four of them... as if they said "Media.." "inf.." "hist".."eff"... instead of wasting space with long tab names?
Keyframes
6. Is there a shortcut to add one? Where is it in the shorcut configuration? I know I can put them with the Pen Tool, I need a shortcut to replace the "add/remove keyframe" button on the tracks in the timeline.
6b.How can I snap the current time indicator to a shortcut in the timeline?
6c. Can I lazo multiple keyframes?
Audio While Scrubbing
7. In Preferences>Audio>Play Audio While Scrubbing I can select that on and off. How can I set a shortcut for that?
Well... that was A LOT! Sorry for so many questions. Hopefully they can help other new users.

From the top:
1a. No; but you can set numbered markers, for both clips and the sequence.
1b. No; you can delete one or all.
1c. You have to select the clip in order to activate the command.
1d. You can only do this in the Marker dialog.
2. No direct way to do this. Delete either the portion before or after the edit, and then extend the clip to fill the gap. Clunky, yes.
3. No, the Track Select tool only operates to the right.
4. Audio meters are vertical only.
5. The tab size matches the title of the tab; no way to change this.
6a. No keyframe shortcut.
6b. It doesn't work in the Timeline panel, but in the Effects Controls panel, you can hold down Shift to snap the CTI as you drag.
6c. You can lasso multiple keyframes in the Effects Controls panel with the standard selection tool, or you can use the Pen tool in the Timeline panel. Just be sure to start within the graphical representation of the clip.
7. No, it's only a program preference.
Sorry that so many of them are negative! Be sure to file feature requests for anything that you'd like to see: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

New to Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hello all,
Recently moved up to CS5.5 from PE8 and hoping for some advise before starting my main project.
Project will be approx 1hr long, wish to be able to burn finished product to DVD as well as Blu Ray. Most footage has been shot so far with Sony HDR-CX handycams, AVCHD set on FH,( should i be using FX?). Also have some footage shot with a standard DV camera and would like to use both in project?
Am i able to create project with 5.1 SS and still use footage with 2 channel stereo also?
Have been playing around a bit editing with some success, until it comes to burning to DVD, suspect i have a setting wrong, starting out tutorials watched seem to say don't bother setting up the project settings at start?
My main questions to date are - should i set the required settings at the start of my project? and if so what settings should i choose for desired end products? Also what settings should i choose when saving to hard drive for burning to DVD and then BR discs?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You do not burn a DVD with Premiere Pro... you use the bundled Encore
For easy searching, download the product user guide PDF(s)
The individual CS5 pages also have links to the earlier user guide pages

Error code U44M1P34 when trying to update Premiere Pro and After Effects- tried everything, nothing works

I am out of ideas here. I had several program installed for months with no issues. Every update was fine. I haven't moved any installations or changed configurations, etc. I have probably a dozen CC apps installed or more.
Then out of nowhere, I start getting an error U44M1P34 when trying to update Premiere Pro. After Effects updates give me a similar error.
1. Tried uninstalling these apps, then restarting, then installing again, but no luck. It tells me that installation was successful, but an update failed.
2. I tried clearing all temp files, etc. No luck.
3. I uninstalled EVERYTHING Adobe related on my computer. Restarted. Ran the Cleaner tool as admin. Restarted. Installed Creative Cloud then tried to install Premiere Pro. Same problem.
So after all that, including putting my work on hold so I can uninstall everything from my machine and try all this junk, it still gives me an error. I can't update those two programs, and maybe more(hard to say since some programs haven't had updates since this started, so it might be worse than just those two).
I was able to install programs like Fireworks and Muse without issue since these problems started.
I've pretty much read every post of every thread where this error message is at. I've looked at my log files, but don't see anything fatal(please tell me what I'm supposed to be looking for as the instructions given are vague at best).
I just need to get this stuff installed and updated. Any ideas? Since I've literally removed Adobe's presence from my computer, then started from scratch, what else is there to try? I haven't moved ANYTHING to another drive or partition. Everything is in the same place it was since 10 months ago when I started CC.
I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 64-bit. 16GB RAM, hundreds of GB of HD space remaining. Geforce GTX760m (also have the Intel 4600 integrated graphics, for whatever that's worth).
I've run both PP and AE just fine, and they even run fine without the update. But I WANT to update them.
Ideas or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
Brent

Well, the Adobe rep hasn't called me yet.
The good news though is that it's no longer an issue. Since the 2014 versions of the Adobe CC apps were released today, I was able to install/update just fine. So it was something with the previous update that was broken, or something like that.
FWIW, the new 2014 editions are fantastic so far. Some great improvements that I'm happy with. I just wonder whether this update issue will rear it's ugly head again with a later revision?
Time will tell. Thanks for the help regardless!

Premiere Pro to Media Encoder Link mysteriously stopped working

I have CS6 Master Collection on a Windows 7x64 Ultimate HP Z820, 32 GB RAM, Quadro 4000, and have been using it for over a year. I use Premiere Pro and batch Queue to Media Encoder for encoding. The last time I used this workflow for batch was about 130 days ago, and it worked like a charm (like it should). A couple of weeks ago, I was on another project and tried to batch again, just like before, even using some of the same presets (on a 'nothin fancy' timeline) and Pr would create a project file in the TEMP folder after I pressed the Queue button, and AME would launch, and the project would appear in the AME queue. I'd press start, and wait a long time, until finally in the Encorder panel, I'd see "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server...", after several minutes, I'd get the goat, and find an error of "Could not read source file..." in the logs. After verifying the source was indeed there, I decided this was really a dynamic link issue.
Here are a few more data points from things I've tried (also pointing to a dynamic link issue).
(1) Exporting (encoding) directly from Pr works fine (so the headless AME is working)
(2) Importing a Pr Sequence within AME does not work either, I get an error from the Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog (after a long wait “Connecting to Dynamic Link server…”) that “Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed”.
I do suspect this is a dynamic link issue, but don't know why, or what has changed. I've tried the 'create a new Premiere shortcut in dynamiclink folder' solution found on the forums and Google, but it didn't work. When I first tried that, I did find two shortcuts already there, one for Pr and one for Ae, but BOTH of them pointed to a CS4 folder! I've never owned CS4, and went from CS3 Design Professional to CS6 Master Collection. I also suspect this issue was caused by one of the updates to Pr that occurred within the last 130 days (since the last time I know this functionality worked). I've made not changes to my system during that time.
Kyle suggested that it could be firewall problem blocking the TCP traffic used by dynamic link, but I do not use Windows Firewall, and all of this happens on a single machine, so there should be no TCP traffic across the wire (unless it is communicating with Adobe?). I use Webroot Endpoint Protection, but have received no indication that anything is suspect or has been blocked. Any help from the Adobe engineers would be greatly appreciated.
I'd be willing to assist with troubleshooting on my system, as I've done with Audition in the past, but really don't want to uninstall the suite and go through that again. This should be tracked down by looking at the updates pushed out to CS6 withing the last 130 days. I think there have been two.
Thanks,
Shane

I've resolved my problem thanks to post by @gagneh on this forum. It turned out to be the NVidia nView Desktop Manager applet found in the Control Panel. It was enabled, and I believe it has been enabled for a long time. I don't know if something in a recent update broke things, but as soon as I disabled the Desktop Manager, my dynamic link started working again in all aspects. Give it a try. Good luck.

Useful for an amateur to upgrade from Premiere Pro 7 to the newest version?

Hello,
Is it recommended for a bloody amateur to upgrade?
I have just purchased a Sony 520 with AVCHD.
Is Premiere Pro 7 able to handle this format?
Thanks for all hint.
Regards
Aloha

Bob,
Have you filed a Feature Request for full Canon 5D MKII support with Adobe? That would be a good first step. Also, Adobe is conducting a survey right now, and you can fill in requests for formats that you wish to use. This would be worth the effort, if you have not done so already.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW I think that it was the AVCHD support that the OP was asking about. Ann gave them the right info to help make the upgrade decision.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version). When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working. And then the program crashes. Please help.
My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

Hi Catherine,
Welcome to the Adobe forums.
Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.
Regards,
Vinay

Premiere Pro to Media Encoder to .MP4 not working? Please help

I'm trying to export my Premiere pro project to my iphone .MP4 . I just did it last night for the first time, went to the encoder. Today I think I did everything the same but the .MP4 won't sync to my iphone. Then, I tried it again and now it's exporting two files, one being a .AAC file and the other file has varied. .m4v and .m4v.md0. I just want to export to .m4v, I didn't think it would be this complicated, especially when it worked flawlessly last night. Any insight will be appreciated.

Hi Andrew,
Which preset did you use?
Thanks,
Kevin

Errors opening a project in Adobe Premiere pro CC 2014 from previous version

Hello!
I have a problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014. I use Adobe to edit my film project and from the last time I updated the CC to CC 2014, it shows me an error message (Pic nr 1). When I want to continue and save that, Premiere CC 2014 shows me another message(Nr 2). but next time when I want to open that, it's impossible ... (Nr 3).
I didn't change or remove anything. The problem started after I updated the program. Even now that I want to open the project with previous version of CC 2013, its showing me the same errors...
Do someone have any idea about it?
Thanks

Try this:
Error "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened"
