NewTek Tricaster MPEG 2 with Premiere CS4

Just curious if anyone on here has uses or is using the NewTek Tricaster and if so what are you doing with the MPEG 2 files that it records to get a good looking DVD?
The Tricaster records footage in MPEG 2. It has two different settings to record with. Standard MPEG 2 and Studio Profile. Both are "I" frame only recordings and Studio is 4:2:2. I had read that the Studio version is not compatible with all NLE and that the standard version is much more compatible and is supposed to give you at least DV quality. We had just gotten our Tricaster about a month ago, and I have been messing around with it trying to get as much figured out as possible before our first event with it, which was this past weekend. I had tried recording in both the Standard and Studio Profiles and imported both into premiere without much issue. Both looked good on monitors inside of Premiere and I left it at that.
Our first event that I used the Tricaster with was a Highschool graduation with 3 cameras that was being streamed to the internet and then all 250 students are getting a copy of the program on DVD. I recorded it with the standard profile and checked it out after the event and it all looked good. Our second event with it was the next day and since we were not delivering the content on DVD to the client I recorded it with the Studio profile just to try it out. Much to my surprise on Monday when I burned the DVD from the graduation (recorded with standard MPEG 2) it looked very soft and not suitable to deliver to all the students. I do not have the exact setting that I used since I am not at my office right now but the basic workflow is as follows.
1. Moved the MPEG files from the tricaster to my edit computer via an external drive.
2. Created a new Premiere Pro Project
3. Sequences settings were set to Desktop, MPEG 2 (ofter specifics I cannot remember)
4. Dropped in my timeline
5. Trimmed start and end.
6. Export MPEG 2 DVD (NTSC High Quality Preset), Quality changed to 5, Constand Bit Rate of 7 Mbps.
7. Import into a new Encore Project, set chapters every 5 min, built a DVD Image
8. Burn the DVD with Image Burn.
The DVD is really bad. I just could not pass this out to anyone. The closeup shots look OK, not great but OK. Any wide shots look really bad. I have not been able to come up with any combination of settings to get the DVD to look any better. I did not have a ton of time to mess with it on Monday and plan on trying some other things next week when I am back in the office.
Then I tried the other program that was recorded with the Studio Profile MPEG 2. The first attemp all the movement looked strobed. Any movement had studder. I tried several different things to get this to look good and I "Think" what I did when I finally got a good looking DVD was in my timline in Premiere I set it to "Interlace Consectutive Frames" and then exported my MPEG 2 DVD files. It does not make sense to me why that made any difference since it is a inlerlaced format to start with, but what ever it takes to get it to look right I guess.
If you have any interest in reading what NewTek says about the MPEG formats you can see it at.
http://www.newtek.com/faq/index.php?primary=3D%20Arsenal&question=408
If any of you are using the Tricaster and can get good looking DVD's after recording with the Standard MPEG 2 format please let me know your workflow. I would really like to avoid having to re-edit this graduation.
I am going to be using the Tricaster for a college graduation Wed thru Fri and I will be recording it to the Studio Profile, since it appears that I can get a good looking DVD with that, but I will also be recording to outside recorders (both to Tape and to a HDD) until I can get this Tricaster MPEG 2 stuff figured out.
Thanks

Bottom line is the mainconcept mpeg encoder that is licensed into CS4 is garbage, it looks terrible with any settings. I have a tricaster also but never moved anything from it to premiere to encode to dvd. We render everything out from Premiere as an AVI and then use Grass Valley (canopus) Procoder to encode it to MPG for our broadcast server or DVD. It encodes much faster and looks twice as good. I can encode 3 hours of video in 14 minutes on it's high quality setting at 8mbit cbr.
here is an example, from left to right its CS4, CS5, CS5, Procoder.
one of the cs5 encodes had bad settings but the other one and procoder are much sharper then CS4.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4?

What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4? Or are there to many to list? I'm looking for a solution to import a .AVI file created with a H.264 codec.

PrPro can work with so very many, but certainly not all. Some, like DivX will work for Export, but I have never gotten good Import of that material - always something wrong somewhere.
For H.264, there are three very popular versions: Apple, Lead and MainConcept. The Apple version installs with later versions of QT Player, the other two are available, and many users like them better. They solve some H.264 problems, mainly with Export.
For a bit of background, you might find this ARTICLE useful.

How do I get Vio Pov.1 (helmetcam) footage to work with Premiere CS4?

Hi.
I'm having the same problems as this guy: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b78c2b/7 with video from the Vio Pov.1 not playing in premiere. Although his topic is already there I made a new topic to get some fresh hits and try to resolve this once and for all. Also because I make some reference to Canon Ixus video files.
I have run the codec-analyzer g-spot on one of the pov.1 video files and it states that I have the proper codec installed.
Codecs in video clip:
Video: XviD ISO MPEG-4 @ 3101kbps 720*480
Audio: 0x0050 MPEG-1 Layer 2 @ 32000Hz 64 kb/s , Monophonic
Still no luck playing/editing them in Premiere CS4. Audio plays fine, video shows but frame is only updated every 4-5 seconds and not the actual frame that corresponds to that point in the audio but actually the next frame from the first one. It continues like that.
Specs:
Running Vista 32 bit and Adobe Master Collection CS4
Quad-core 2,4GHz
4GB ram (i know, only about 3 to 3,5GB utilized in 32 bit OS.)
Nvidia 8800GT 512mb
74GB WD Raptor as system/adobe software drive.
500GB Samsung spinpoint throuch E-sata as project drive.
The wierd thing is this:
I have a separate system drive with windows xp installed, Adobe Master collection CS3 fully updated and NO other software. (same computer)
Differance between CS3 and CS4:
CS3,no codec pack:
- Canon ixus video files WORK
- Vio Pov.1 reported as audio only, not even thumbs showing FAIL
CS3, ffdshow codec pack installed(ffdshow-rev2180_20081004_xxl)
- Canon ixus: WORKS
- Vio Pov.1: WORKS
CS4 on vista, relatively fresh install, fully updated, no codes packs.
- Canon ixus: FAIL
- Vio Pov.1: FAIL (video)
CS4, same as above with ffdshow installed:
- Canon ixus: FAIL
- Vio Pov.1: FAIL (video)
CS4, same as above with morgan mjpeg codec installed:
- Canon ixus: WORKS (yay!)
- Vio Pov.1: FAIL (obviously as it's not mjpeg)
Someone with some insight into these things, please point me in the right direction. Does anyone have experience with managing video settings within the ffdshow interface? I'm not experienced enough to tweak all the settings.
The current project Im working on is a small web clip shot with a Panasonic HDC-SD100 and the Vio Pov.1. It's a short rally on ice clip I'm looking to produce the panasonic video files are NOT supportet in CS3 even with codec packs.
CS3=
panasonic: no!
vio-pov1: yes!
CS4:
Panasonic: yes!
Vio-pov1: no!
See my problem?
I added the Canon ixus comparison since I previously had problems with it but have now solved them. Also to show that Adobe seem to have cut support for certain formats when moving on to CS4. It has taken me a looong time figuring out how to get ixus working in premiere because I'm not used to this stuff.
The ideal solution is not having to convert clips before using them so I would like to focus on that avenue. After all it finally worked with the ixus clips so I have hopes that eventually a solution can be found for the Pov.1 clips which is also more widely spread and used in proper productions.
Im very sorry for the format of this post, and the length. I just had to get it out there to see if someone can help me.
/ Johannes

Thank you Stanley and Bill for your input.
Sorry for checking the topics progress so late.
Bill, could I ask what specific software you are using for this batch conversion task?
Like I stated in my first post I am able to edit the Pov.1 material when plugging in my secondary HD with Xp and CS3 on it. So I can fiddle about with that as well but if you could supply me with the name of your software it would save me all that time swapping harddrives back and fourth. There are so many out there, would like to eliminate risk of malware and such by using the software you have.
(reminder, cs3 does not do AVCHD, #1 of many reasons why I prefer cs4)
I'm still testing various xvid/mpeg4 settings with ffdshow and other codecs, I'm still determined to find a solution, for everyone. After all, it CAN run under CS3.
I have also submitted the case to Adobe. Hoping to hear from them soon. Anyone else care to throw some thoughts in?
Thanks again for the input so far,
Johannes

Problems with Premiere CS4 video

Just purchased Premiere CS4. When I import video (avi or mpeg), what appears in the preview monitor or the timeline monitor is greatly distorted. Audio is great, it's just the video that I'm having trouble with. Running it on XP with 3.4 GB of memory. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

So would some information. AVI and MPEG mean nothing, they are just containers that can hold anything from scrap metal, toxic chemicals, food, clothing, electronics, spare car parts, tapestry or God knows what. Unfortunately PR can only handle certain contents, so you need to know what codec is used.
Look here and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article: Some suggestions

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?

Major problems with Premiere CS4

Hello there!
I'm having major problems with CS4. I recently bought a new computer - essentials are as follows:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
2 x Kingston 3x2GB, DDR3 1333MHz (=12 GB RAM)
Ati Radeon HD 5770 v2
Asus P6T SE, LGA1366, X58, DDR3, ATX
2 x 500GB, Barracuda 7200.12 (RAID1), system disk
2 x 1TB Barracuda 7200.12, media disks
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Adobe CS4 Production Premium + latest updates
The problem I have has mostly to do with Premiere although I think the rest of Production Premium softwares should be running better on this computer as well.
For starters, I was highly disappointed when I couldn't view a single HD clip from the Premiere timeline (it was an .m2ts rip from a previously self-burned Bluray disc) at all. Rendering is very slow and even after that the video doesn't run normally, showing just a few individual frames per second. When I point the timeline at a certain spot, it takes many seconds until even that very frame is shown in the monitor window.
And this is not all - I decided to try with a basic DV AVI clip, previously captured with my PPro 1.5 on my earlier computer (3.2ghz Pentium from 2005). It's a native file so it doesn't even need rendering and still the same problem occurs. With normal playback only about 6-10 frames are shown per second. It's absolutely ridiculous - even my 2004 laptop runs DV AVIs more smoothly with PPro 1.5.
While I'm running the Premiere, the level of used RAM comes only up to around 24 percents. The processor, then again, comes close to a hundred when play is pressed on the timeline.
I haven't had such immense problems with other Production Premium softwares (though as I said, I think they should be running faster as well). Otherwise the computer is running smoothly.
A friend of mine pointed out that the graphics card I'm using isn't on the Adobe website's list of supported ones with Premiere, but afaik it shouldn't even be a graphics card problem with this high-end machinery.
So - I sure could use some help and ideas about how to get the Premiere working. My main intention for buying a new computer and Adobe CS4 Production Premium was to start HD editing after all! Thanks beforehand!

Hi
Yeah, I hope he solves problem and knows how it got solved and tells us all...it's like being a detective ! " Mr Plum did it in the "svchost" room ! "
I got a little lost on this....
You are welcome and I'm glad that it paid off so nicely for you. One more suggestion, if I may: I'm a big fan of a fixed pagefile size. When making a fresh install of Windows, one of my first actions is to set a fixed pagefile on a different disk (min=max) before installing anything else on that different disk and removing the pagefile on the C drive. This will ensure that the pagefile in on the fastest part of the drive and will never be fragmented.
I think it used to be that I made swapfiles, or swapdisks which now seems to be called pagefile. That in itself is a little confusing semantic wise, because of the use of mempage stuff. It used to be that base memory was 640k, with the upper memory (to make up 1024 kb) was mostly for drivers and stuff. If more memory was needed than 640k (an event the inventor never thought possible... "who could want more than the enormous amount of 640K ?", he said..)..the extended and expanded memory got invented to swap memory pages from that 640k as needed with the rest of RAM. That's basically correct right ? Sooooo, I don't know if that still goes on, but I suspect it does, unless someone totally changes the architecture of the computer and cpu and fsb and everything... but I don't know what is going on nowadays. Anyway, there were other ways besides windows OS to create virtual memory on the hard drive, and Photoshop was one of the programs that could do that, I think.
Why MS would want to call the swapdisk virtual memory "pagefile" is beyond me.
Anyway, be that as it may, I understand that making the pagefile first on a drive so it's close to the center of the drive (heads don't have to travel far to access). But I haven't added a lot of drives to a system before, and I suspect I will be pretty soon...and this is the part I don't get...
You add drives and put OS on them? So they are bootable ? I've added a drive or two but just formatted and used as more storage but didn't put OS on them. So that part is confusing...
Then you take the pagefile off the C: drive ? Are you then using the new drive as your boot drive and the C: drive is too full to use accept to run the programs already installed ?
Thanks again !

Crashes with Premiere CS4 under Win7 32Bit

Hello, since a few months, I work with Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 on an ASUS based PC (Striker II Mainboard 4 Cores and 4 GB RAM). I also use an external Video RAID 0, connected via a eSata controller card. All application like Photoshop and Aftereffects run correctly and stable. When I cut videos on Premiere Pro in HD or SD, I often have undefined crashes with Premiere Pro CS4. Sometimes the application quits itself, sometimes I get no response from the GUI, or while Rendering a message appears that the is no enough systemspace. I have Terabytes Spaces and I can't imagine that this should be the problem. The mediacache is also routed to the video drive. Those crashes happens 7 times or more a day. I tried several codecs and it makes no different whether I use the connected Blackmagic Design Eclipse Interface or not.
With Driver Genius Pro I searched for the latest mainboard and graphic drivers, but without any changes in result. Do you have expirience with Win7 32bit and ASUS Striker II Maninboard. Is it a good idea to buy a new 64 Bit PC and an upgrade to CS5? May this solve hanging problems? What could be the reason for Instability?
Thanks for answers.
Sincerely
André

André,
I cannot address your MoBo question, but have some articles that might offer a few tips. The first ARTICLE is on setting up one's computer for a video editing session, one of the most intense operations that one can subject a computer to. For Win7, please look down to the last addenda, as there is a Win7 specific link to Black Viper's page.
The next ARTICLE is on finding clues as to what is happening, when the program crashes or hangs.
The last ARTICLE is a link to general troubleshooting tips for PrPro.
With Driver Genius Pro I searched for the latest mainboard and graphic drivers, but without any changes in result.
I'd take this one step further, regarding your video card's driver. Note the exact card that you have, its driver info, and go to the mfgr's. site. Find the very latest driver, and compare with what you have installed. Too many of those all-in-one updaters will stop far short of getting the very latest driver. I have seen systems, using similar, where the video driver was 3 years old, and showing as "most recent." For nVidia, or ATI/AMD, that will be ~ 30 driver versions behind.
Just some thoughts, and good luck,
Hunt

Anyone using Blackmagic Intensity Pro with Premiere CS4

I've looked through the threads and have seen similar postings, but no real good answers. Is anyone using Blackmagic Intensity Pro to viiew timeline on a HDTV using the HDMI connector?
I purchasedf the Intensity Pro and can't get it to work with CS4. Any assistance would be appreciated.

If you're using a Core i7 processor, one of the problems might be with the motherboard. There's only one Intel board that BM has approved (sorry, don't have the model in front of me -- on a piece of scratch paper in my wife's car).
I'm looking to build a new system myself and have been looking at the Intensity Pro card as well. The main feature I'm looking for is real-time preview and program output to an HD monitor that I'd hook up via HDMI. I probably also would use it to capture analog sources for audio and video. I don't have any interest in BM's lossless data capture as it creates monster-sized files. That's why I was also planning to add Cineform once it's fully approved and working for CS4. However, as best as I can tell, the Intensity Pro card doesn't recognize the Cineform codec on the timeline. Does anyone know if and how well these two will function together within Premiere? (I'm also assuming that the new 4.1 release might make these types of Premiere add-ons work better.)
Thanks.

Problems, Problems, Problems with Premiere CS4

Is it just me? I almost hate to say this but this must be the worst program ever. It constantly crashes and the weird part, it crashes everytime I try to use anything on the help file. There is no audio when capturing, and maybe it is supposed to be that way, just very hard to capture limited parts of footage. The biggest problem and hopefully someone can help me here, I cannot get it to capture in HD. I have tried every setting under the sun and it always converts footage to dv and stretches it out. The very sad thing is that I have to use iMovie to capture, which captures in HD flawlessly, but then guess what, can't import into premiere, says the file doesn't fit. WHAT? All this money and all these problems.

I'm using the same camera you are, the Canon HV30, and I did find it another dissapointment to see it not listed in Adobe's camera selections...seriously, Adobe, WAKE UP. This is one of the most sold cameras of the last couple of years.
You dont hear audio in iMovie during capture either. That's not an issue. My issue is with a lack of clip auto-detect, and the paucity of filters and transitions vs the PC version, and a lousy file tracking system, and no export to HDV QT, and no on screen preview. That about covers it.
Premiere for me has not crashed. Encore, now that's a whole different story. I wish I had really gone through Premiere more so I could have returned it in time. Fortunately, I bought production premium for After Effects, which I really do like and find that mac has no substitute for (but maybe FCP and Shake does what it does as well) and got it at discount from BH so I'm not too screwed, but I so very much wish I had FCP instead, since I really expected Premiere to be far more than it is.
Otherwise, I got premiere to recognize my camera, although it seemed to need some turning on and off a couple of times.
I'm on a two-year old macintel, so maybe your newer computer is the issue, but bottom line, Adobe releasing software not ready for primetime is the issue, and has been as much confirmed on other video websites than this one.
I'm trying to find some way to redeem my experience in Premiere, but I sure dont want to use it to capture, and Encore is a failure, so what am I gonna do, use it to edit in the middle? FCP Express is selling for $149 and has far more effects and transitions than Premiere does and has good capture.. I want batch export, though, and 24P, so I might just bite the bullet and fork over the cash. TIme is money.
and to those who say it works on the PC, there are plenty of compaints on that end as well.

Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

Oh hai!
I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
Encoding failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
   I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations
•C:\Program Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\ProgramData\Adobe
d-removed these links from registry file
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software
result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
result :
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

Clip notes with reader 9 and premiere cs4

After upgrading reader to version 9 clip notes no longer works from Premiere CS3. It does work with premiere CS4 but a modification to reader by the reviewer is required to view the clip notes. Otherwise the video play/rewind etc buttons will be missing. This modification is detailed here www.alserver.co.uk/clipnotesreadme.pdf.
I have discovered this after many hours of trial and error and have posted the workaround here for anyone else with the same problem. Adobe support have been as much use as a chocolate tea pot! why do they ruin such great feature of premiere.
If anyone knows of a better workaround then please advise.

...real-time playback works fine in other high-load editing programs, as in the 2-series version of Avid Media Composer (which, by the way, played back just fine on my GeForce card and CPU/RAM configuration.) I wanted to go to Premiere because of my other CS programs. That said, I'd like to take a different approach other than simply throwing money and horsepower at a problem that might simply be a configuration issue.
Thanks!

Premiere CS4 Audio Output with Decklink

Hi,
i found serveral posts in the net for my Problem, but no solution.
Were on a WindowsXP machine with Premiere CS4 and a Blackmagic Decklink Card.
If we choose a Sequence-Preset from Blackmagic Decklink (which is important for us) and choose the internal Soundcard for Audio Playback,
we dont hear anything. The Audio is routed through the Decklink. We have tried everything to achieve that that audio will be played through the internal Soundcard, but it seems as if the Settings are overwritten by the Decklink Preset.
In CS3 this Problem doesnt exist.
Many thankx in advance for your help....
Sascha

oh, we have the actual CS4 Update and Deckling Driver installed.

Contour HD1080 Files Jerky Premiere CS4

My system is a Dell m1330, core 2 duo 2.4GH, 4 gigs ram, Vista 32bit
Ok I am a bit new to these new file formats. I am trying to edit some footage from my Contour HD 1080 on Premiere CS4 and it plays really jerky and freezes at points. I do not have any of those POS codec packs installed. the only thing I have installed is Coreavc Pro. Coreavc was the only way I could get the files to play correctly in Media Player Classic (which plays them just fine now so I know its not a hardware speed thing). I tried to install Quicktime and that was not even able to play the Contour MOV files correctly, because of this I removed Quicktime from my computer. I have tried to rename them to MP4 and use them in Premiere and it has the same effect.
Has anyone out there been able to play and edit these Cont HD MOV files with Premiere CS4. I would love to hear of a workflow so I can stop wasting time and get down to business.I would like to avoid installing Quicktime on my system if I can, I would love to be able to use CoreAVC with premiere (becuase it seems like the only thing that works with these ridiculous files), and I don't wont to have to convert hours of footage before it will work in Premiere if I have to.
This is what Premiere says the file is:

- you need AT LEAST 2 drives for video editing, 3 is better
