No audio in Premiere CS3

Hi
I have just installed CS3 onto a brand new machine, and no audio of any type is playing from with Premiere CS3 - I have tried all the usual video formats, MP3, WMA etc which all worked on my last computer. (audio in other windows programs works fine). I do get a message when I start up CS 3 which says "The currently installed soundcard driver does not support DirectSound Input, Recording audio is not possible" This obviously doesn't mention anything about playing back audio.....
Anybody have any ideas?

John, Thanks for your reply. In fact, the audio is built in to the motherboard on my Dell. I'm a little confused by the error message though... It says that, with my present sound card, recording will not be possible. Hmmm... Does that mean that I can not record narration by plugging a mic into the sound card, but that audio from my source tape(s) will still be recorded? I'm just getting started with CS3 after I have experienced a 2 month nightmare of crashes and a multitude of problems with Premier Elements 4. (The Adobe techs finally admitted to me that Premier Elements 4 really isn't cut out for HD processing/editing). Anyway, back to the sound issue.. It appears as though the sound from my source tape is being recorded as is sound from a CD or a file. If it's just the mic input that won't work on my sound card, it's no big deal as I do no narration. If you know the answer to that, I'd appreciate hearing it. Thanks so much for your input! Kent

  • No way to mix audio from Premiere CS3 with Audition 3??

    As a last resort I logged to find the solution to my problem, but from what I can see there isn't any.
    I would like to mix and process a Premiere project with 10 audio tracks in Audition. I'm much more familiar with Audition. Am I correct - is there no way to export a Premiere audio timeline for processing in Audition?? I find it hard to believe since I can do so from an Avid OMF to Audition.
    Is there NO WAY?? If there isn't, then this is not a feature request - it's a demand, please.

    Ozzie, I feel your pain.
    A workaround would be to export stems from Premiere -- mic, effects, music, or whatever fits your production -- by muting/enabling the appropriate audio tracks. Then remix in Audition to taste.
    At least that's what I tried on my latest video project. Convenient? No. Effective? Very.

  • Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

    Hi everyone,
    I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection.  All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain.  All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons.  When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment.  In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3.  I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved.  To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
    Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card.  The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
    This works great...on my office computer.
    The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio.  I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears.  If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio.  All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines.  If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio.  Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
    Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week.  Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies.  Again, video imports, audio doesn't.  No audio layer appears.
    Thanks!

  • I have exported a file from premiere cs3 using quicktime animation codec, when i burn it the audio is not there..help!?

    hello.
    am having a proble with adobe premiere cs3
    i have exported the file as quicktime using the animation codec, with 100per cent quality as it needs to be the highest quality
    when i play the file with media player the sound is there, but when i burn it onto a dvd the audio is not there anymore... i really dont understand what i am doing wrong! can anyone help please?
    i am using quicktine as im told this the best for optimum lossless quality
    if i cannot burn it with audio using the quikctime animation codec, then i might try exporting it as an avi file. if so, what is the best codec to use for lossless quality?
    thankyou!!!!

    And when you follow Jim's suggestions, Export as elemental streams, i.e. one Video-only file and one Audio-only file. Encore will like that better.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere CS3 Audio Gain issue

    My machine at work was just upgraded to Premiere CS3 and I've noticed a couple of issues (bugs?) with it. I'll list them separately to keep things nice and neat. I did a search of both the forums and knowledgebase, but was unable to find what I was looking for.
    When adjusting the volume for an audio clip using Audio Gain, the waveform for that clip is being adjusted as well. If you raise the volume, the waveform gets bigger. If you lower the volume, the waveform gets smaller. This wasn't the case in 1.5 and 2.0. Is there a way to disable this in CS3? Adjusting volume levels of, in my case, music tracks (mp3's, wav's) then trying to edit to the beat is much harder now since the waveform for that clip has been made smaller.
    Thanks in advance for any help you guys might have. :)

    That is awesome...I had not even noticed that happening on the waveforms. For all of the previous issues with waveforms redrawing and such, it's nice to see an improvement in that area.
    And yeah, definitely not a bug. Howard's right...your statement alone makes the problem clear when you say you are adjusting volume using audio gain. Audio gain is for input, volume adjusts for output and you are correctly trying to adjust output level but you really ought to use the volume control in the effects tab for that, especially if you intend to increase/decrease volume during the presentation.
    Fun.

  • Large project in Premiere CS3 causes Windows XP64 to reboot

    Ok...I have a rather sizeable project going in Premiere CS3.  It contains a rather large number of animations created in Autodesk Maya (most between 10 seconds and 3 minutes long) and a large number of stills, as well as scrolling background (a .mov file I created using Photoshop and Premiere) and a soundtrack created by myself (in Cakewalk/Sonar).  The total project is about 18 1/2 minutes in length....around 8 video tracks and 3 audio tracks at the moment. The main problem is that when I start working on it...either importing files and especially moving files around in the project or even just hitting the playback button, the system just reboots.  I have seen the infamous Windows "blue screen of death" flash briefly once or twice, but it doesn't hang...just goes right to the system BIOS screen.  The ONLY thing that seems to help is basically saving the project like every 30 seconds.  Import a file, save, conform file to widescreen, save, bring file into project, save, move file around a bit, save, add crossfade, save....you get the idea.
    Now before I go too much futher here, I suspect the problem isn't actually with Adobe/Premiere as I had this happen a few times while I was creating the sound track in Sonar 4 as well.  The sound track is basically a pseudo-orchastral piece and is equally around 18 1/2 minutes long....currently with around 42 tracks of audio and 5 midi tracks.  The audio has been sampled down to a standard stereo wav file for the import into Premiere. And yes, as the audio portion of this project got bigger and bigger, it caused a few reboots as well (not to mention drop-outs, studders and all the other fun stuff associated with audio production).  With that, I was able to "compact" the Sonar file (basically a Sonar project defrag) and the reboot problem seems to have went away on that end.
    The system itself SHOULD be able to handle this project...not top of the line, but pretty beefy. 2nd generation Intel i5 quad core, 16 gigs of Kingston DR-1600 RAM, Tascam US-428 for the audio and a good 2+ terabytes across 5 harddrives (3 internal 3 gig-per-second SATA's, 2 USB).  Also has a 4 gig HIS vid card with ATI chipset (still can't afford a FirePro yet).  While Premiere is installed on the (comparatively dinky) 160 gig C drive, I'm using the 500 gig E drive internal and a 500 gig USB drive as my work drives.  Most of the Maya animations are on the internal E drive but the rest...the stills and Premiere files and such...are on the USB drive.  I.e., the system itself should have plenty of rendering power for this.  Also I have replaced the C drive with a nearly identical twin.  After a recent crash, I finally broke down and got a backup C drive...in other words, I'm sure the drive(s) are a-ok...even put a brand new 500 watt power supply in just in case.
    I have already re-installed XP64...a couple of times in fact, as just before I started this project one of those god-foresaken MS "critical updates" crashed the crap out of my computer.  Then on the first reinstall, something hosed in .NET framework during the "night of a thousand updates" so I had to scrap it and start the reinstall all over again.  Likewise, I reinstalled Premiere CS3 (along with everything else including Maya) once I finally had the computer running again.
    A quick note here: I did create my own custom 1080 Hi Def widescreen settings for Premiere since CS3 didn't appear to have any such thing.  For short projects they seem to work just fine...although admitedly, the render time is a serious b*tch.  Likewise, all the Maya animations have been rendered out at 1080 widescreen, production quality (yea...the render time there was a killer too).
    Another quick note:  While I'm trying to use Premiere exclusively while I'm working, on occasion I have had to open either Photoshop or Maya to deal with a couple of stills...and when I open something else, I get a "windows virtual memory to low" (16 gigs of RAM and the virtual memory is too low??).  Otherwise, except for Avira (virus scanner) I don't really have anything else running in memory...no screen savers, no desktop pictures, no Instant Messanger crap, etc..  Never cared for bells and whistles and such, so the system is pretty clean in that regard (and I do keep up on my degrags as well).
    Finally, while I -am- grateful for any helpful suggestions regarding this, please do NOT simply tell me to upgrade something (Premiere, Windows, etc) as point blank; it ain't gonna happen.  Aside from the fact that Adobe seems to have made Premiere CS4 and up much more difficult to use (I have -many- niggles about the newer interfaces there...using CS5.5 at the college and it's REALLY annoying) and aside from my wife being a MS programmer/developer and having to listen to her complain about Windows 7 and 8, we're in the process of buying a new house, so any and all "disposable income" is nill...and will be for quite some time.  No money...zero...nadda...i.e. no upgrades.  Further, while granted this is certainly the biggest project I've done to date, I've ran this setup/configuration for at least the past 3 years now without a hitch...this all seems to have started with that last MS critical update (at the risk of sounding paranoid, I'm really starting to think they slid a nasty in that last one to FORCE people to upgrade since they're discontinuing XP64 support soon). 
    Alrighty...I know that's a lot but I wanted to provide as many details as I could here in hopes that someone can help me get a handle on this reboot issue.  Getting to be REALLY annoying having to save every 30 seconds or so.  I have searched the help files, but got tired of randomly sorting thru all the blather and not finding anything helpful.
    I'm grateful for any help here...thanks!
    Jim

    Well, I'm about 98% sure it isn't a hardware problem.  I had already pulled the RAM and tried some backup RAM I have sitting in the box (8 gigs of Corsair), went thru the harddrives weeks ago with Chkdsk and everything was a-ok there (a couple of bad clusters on the old C drive, but that has since been replaced and is on the shelf as a backup), motherboard seems to be fine, re-seated all cards and cables, etc..  Again I even slapped a new 500 watt PS in just in case (the old one was a 400 watt and with all the crap I have on this system, thought it might have been a voltage drop off issue...nadda).   I did have a bit of a heat problem a while back...one of the case cooling fans was going bad and the CPU was getting just hot enough to trip the system (about 5 degrees over).  That said, that also shows up in the BIOS monitor as well and was easy enough to track down.  Either way, the bad cooling fan has been replaced and I even added a "squirrel cage" style fan as well...system is running nice and cool now.
    BTW...I used to be A+ certified on both PC's and Macs when I was a hardware tech (not to mention HP, IBM and Lexmark certified, Cat 5 installer, etc), so I like to think I know my hardware fairly well.  Not just a weekend warrior on that front...used to do it for a living.
    I had also already tried manually resizing the paging file as well...tried different sizes, tried spreading it out across the drives, etc..  Didn't really make a difference either way and again the only time the virtual memory low comes up is if I try to open Photoshop or Maya while this big project is open in Premiere.  That said, Photoshop and Maya both tend to be pigs when it comes to memory/RAM (Photoshop especially).  Doesn't seem to happen with Illustrator or any other program....just PS and Maya if this project is open in Premiere.  
    One other oddity I have noticed recently is actually with Maya.  Before all of this started...in other words, before that last MS critical update and 3 days of reinstalling software...I used to be able to do a background render with Maya and still be able to keep working on stuff.  I'd fire off batch render and then I could move on to other things...editing images in Photoshop (CS 5 there if it matters), surfing the web and even doing some light stuff in Premiere.  Since this problem has been occuring however, I have noticed that the Maya batch renders are REALLY slowing down the system big time.  Difficult to even check my email while a batch is running.  Likewise, I have noticed that since I upgraded the Maya from 2011 to 2013, Maya has a nasty tendency to freeze during a batch render.  If I have a long batch render, I'll set it up to run over night...when I get up the next moring, the render itself will still be running (you can see Mayabatch.exe still going in processes under Task Manager) but Maya is totally frozen up.  Now I did that update at the same time as the rest of this mess happened so I don't know if these problems are due to the Maya upgrade or the (apparent) Windows problem...I'm inclined to believe the latter.
    BTW...after having a project file get corrupted yesterday during one of these shut downs, I've been double saving the files (so as to have a backup) and that too seems to have made things a bit better.  Hasn't actually shut down on me when I've been doing this.  That said, it's also a serious pain in the butt having to save that way too.
    With that, looking thru the rest of Hunt's article there, I did kill indexing services...at least on the work drives.  it's about the only thing there that I haven't tried, so we'll see what happens this afternoon.  I seriously doubt that would be the problem though as usually that would give an error or a lockup and not an instant shut down, but we'll see.

  • Adobe Premiere CS3 will not open!

    Adobe premiere CS3 will not open.  When I click on the Adobe icon on my desktop, I get this message:  This application has failed to start because prm.dll was not found.  I've tried several things such as:  uninstalling the program then reinstalliing it.  I tried to open Adobe by clicking on one of my projects by opening MY Computer from start on the taskbar, then click on c drive, etc. but it will not open.  Before I started getting the error message stated above, when I clicked on the icon, the program would load to the point of showing the top portion of the page (file, edit, etc.) then stop.  It would never fully load.  HELP!!!!!   I'm in the middle of trying to meet several deadlines.

    First, search your system for every instance of prm.dll. See if you have one (could be corrupt, but a Repair Install should have repaired it) in your PrPro CS3 folder hierarchy. Do you have any more? How do the dates and sizes compare to the one, if there is one, in PrPro? Here is a LINK to a .dll site. I do not know this site, so cannot even comment on their .dll's. I'd do the first suggestion, well - first.
    Also, I do not know this .dll. It could be a VST from an Audio editing program, or similar. Some of these have been known to bring PrPro to its knees, at launch. Might be worthwhile to check into it a bit more.
    Also, take a look at Event Viewer. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on what to look for. Could be more happening, than the error message might lead one to believe.
    Good luck,

  • Error compiling movie: out of memory !!! Premiere CS3

    Hey every1 --- desperate need of some guidance here. I've been all over the internet and these boards --- have seen this come up with a lot of people but no real solid answers that I'd seen or that have helped.
    First off, my comp is an imac 3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory. (just bought the computer last year)
    I'm shooting with a canon 7d in HD (1920 x 1080p) and I'm editing using Premiere CS3. I've noticed that editing has become very difficult since I started using HD; playback is very choppy and the 'quality settings' in the preview monitor are a joke and do absolutely nothing whether it's on draft or automatic.
    Anyway, despite the choppiness and slow editing, I was able to get a 3 min clip completed. These are my export settings:
    Export > Movie
    H.264
    960 x 540
    23.976 fps
    Square pixels,
    100% quality,
    recompress: unchecked.
    Once exported (I was able to export smaller timelines previously--- say, 50 secs of footage or so) the files look AMAZING and from there I use them for online video via vimeo -- stuff looks really awesome.
    Anyway, recently I'm getting: 'Error compiling movie. Out of Memory. Change optimization preferences to memory', etc. etc. Well, I did as it asked and that did absolutely nothing.
    So, I decided to open up my activity monitor and watch what's going on with my memory while premiere is exporting. I also closed ALL unused applications. System runs at about 2.16gb free memory before I start exporting. Memory seems stable during export UNTIL around the 50% exporting mark, and then its starts climbing like crazy and my memory just gets eaten up --- finally resulting in a crash at about 70% render.
    I really don't know what else to do. Does my computer not have the power to export 3 min of HD footage??? This seems surprising to me ... I don't know what else to try.
    Thanks for any help !!!

    Hi Mark,
    Hope you are having a wonderful day.
    Sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. Although I did not specifically get the out of memory error, I can only be convinced that that is the problem.
    Although I am not a computer whiz, I have learned my share of things. I have been troubleshooting a video all this week (really, a couple of months), but I had to put it aside and come back to it.
    I tend to be talkative; so I will get back on topic or at least try to stay on topic, so bare with me. Smile....
    Here is what I have learned and maybe it will help you with yours if you have not found a solution already.
    Based on your hard drive specs and ram, I was thinking the same thing e.g. hard to believe that you are not able to render 3 minutes of video in HD. I primarily work in HD/1080p.
    The place where we are similar is that I eventually could get the video to render by reducing the workspace that is rendered piece by piece until I was able to render the entire file. When I tried to encode the video, I kept getting error compiling messages. I tried different codecs, deleting xmpses, not rendering xmpses, etc. I could not figure out the keyframe trick so I just put in a black video from after effects. By the way, all of my videos intro the same and no problems with the other videos fading from black to a still photo.
    Here is the problem from what I could gather.
    Simply, out of memory. I was rendering and trying to encode a 45 minute video with after effects compositions and the dynamic linking kept timing out once the file reached a certain size. There were no other true fancy effects. I do alot on the green screen and just use after effects to make a white background. Smaller videos, rendering has been slow, but doable. This massive video would never compile. I won't bore you with my system specs, but know that similar to your situation, the system in theory should have been adequate.
    Work around...
    I ended up exporting the video as 3 separate 15 minute video clips. I could not get them to encode as .wmv files so I encoded them as .mp4 files. By the way, I still encoded in HD.
    Here is the kool stuff.
    After what seems like forever, I found a converter that could convert .mp4 to .wmv and rejoin the files to play as one large file with the same quality as my source file and no audio synching issues. By the way, I do not work for this company. I just found this encoder at 4 o'clock this morning after trying all of these other converters that were straight garbage or were free to try and not really free if you wanted quality. By the way, the conversion tool is not only user friendly, but free which is awesome.
    The name of the software is Media Cope. Just visit www.mediacope.com.... Be sure to send the owner an e-mail to thank him and let him know that Mark sent you. I just sent him an e-mail earlier to let him know that I was going to post on Adobe what a wonderful software he created. I just needed something free, quick, easy, and user-friendly.
    Whoops... got off topic....
    I'll do a summary at the end for my recommendation to you.
    Here are some other tidbits that I learned as well that may save you some time.
    When editing this is what I do now...
    1) I use CCleaner from www.piriform.com to quickly clean my system especially temporary files before I start editing and if I am switching from project to project.
    2) In all of my troubleshooting this week, I found a kool little software call Smart Close. (Just google to find this one.) It closes all of your non-critical background files in order to maximize system resources. (When I am done editing, I just reboot and all of my background programs start up again. You do not have to do it that way, that's just how I do it. The nice thing is that it is a wizard interface; so you do not have to try to figure out if a process in the background is critical or non-critical.)
    3) Depending on my mood and if I did not forget, smile.... I change the priority to high for the adobe products in the task manager.
    More things that I learned...
    1) We are not able to change the temp file for how Adobe encodes. My logic was if I could change the encoding to a hard drive that was simply empty so Adobe can render there, then I would be good. Wrong.... Adobe does not allow you to change the temp location. (Note: This is what I discovered in the different forums; so encoding to an external hard drive is not the best move. Read more to se why.)
    2) It is best to have your scratch disks as your internal disk. If you have multiple internal disks, then you shoud check some other forums for the best way to set up your scratch disks. When I was just starting out, I bought an external hard drive enclosure with the thought that I would work primarily off of those external drives with the option of doing some RAID work. Bad idea... Even the simplest of tasks took forever. It was best to work off of the internal drive. By the way, I still use the enclosure hard drives for backups in order to allow me to free up some space on the primary hard drive. When rendering, it is truely a use of the RAM and the hard drive space in the editing process.
    I'll leave you with this...
    I take back what I said earlier, you do need a new computer with more RAM. If you can get 16 GB, great. The primary reason is that if you are editing in Premiere and if you do anything with dynamic linking into your after effects, it will cause your ram to climb as the file gets larger. Of course, be sure to get the largest hard drive possible as an internal drive, the maximum on processor speed, 64 bit operating system, etc.
    I know you are like by now, Mark, what is the point of all of your gibberish... Really, it was to share with you and others on some really kool work arounds.
    My recommendation for you are as follows.
    1) You have already proven that you can render and encode 50 second clips and you are very happy with those clips, so create separate smaller clips for this particular project.
    2) Once you have the final clips outputted, then use Media Cope to rejoin the files as one large file and you are done.
    (Note: The one thing that I did notice is that there is a small break right between where the files are merged. The nice thing is that as a video editor/film maker, you will be the only person likely to notice it because you know where the breaks are. The other nice thing is that the untrained eye will not notice it and if you had to submit your work to a television station especially on DVD, the video system should recognize the file as one large file and play all the way through. Note: For the last sentence, I said 'should play all the way through' as I have not had a chance to check this one yet as I just finished this project today and still have to turn in all of my videos. I still have some more videos to merge.)
    By the way, the only specs that I will share are that I work on a PC and it has 8 GB of ram.
    The summary of the summary is that sometimes an error compiling message could simply be that your system does not have resources to render and the encode that large of a file. At least that is what I learned this week or at least my specific situation. The confirmation is that I just finished shooting a documentary which was one hour and some change and was able to render and encode to .wmv with no problems. Of course, I was not using after effects for this particular project.
    In either case, hope all the information helps you with your project.
    Have a wonderful day and happy holidays everyone.
    Mark

  • Packaging up a Premiere CS3 file

    I'm wondering if there is a way to automatically package up a Premiere CS3 project?
    I have several projects that are accessing videos and audio from a number of different directories. I'd like to be able to pack up each project into it's own directory with all of the assets (video, sound, illustrations) in that same directory so I can hand them off to different editors to help with the work.
    Is there anyway to do this without doing it manually? I know with InDesign I can package up a print project and it will copy all of the assets into a new directory with the project file... I'm looking for a similar feature if one exists.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    My own preference is to copy all assets to the proper folders before import into Premiere. This avoids any issues later, especially with archiving.
    The Project Manager will do what you want, but it does sometimes have issues.

  • CRAM Codec & Premiere CS3

    I'm doing some simple editing in Premiere CS3.  My pre-recorded videos play fine in Windows Media Player, but export jerky and vibrating after editing them.
    After doing some research I found out that my pre-recorded videos us the CRAM (Microsoft Video 1) codec.  The program G-spot tells me that I do not have this codec installed.
    If I install this codec will my videos export properly?, or should I be converting them before editing (is this possible?). My worry is that if installing the codec solves the issue, after burning to dvd will others who play the dvd experience issues?
    I'm pretty new to this so very basic instructions are best lol.
    Thanks guys.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Have to admit that I have not heard of the CRAM CODEC.
    Now, the installation of some CODEC's will allow PrPro to Import, edit and Export - though not all. The first two operations in that list are usually the "weak sisters." Installation might help you with Export.
    Now, before you do that, is a DVD-Video your ultimate goal? If so, do NOT Export in any CODEC, but either DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio (or DD AC3 for DD 5.1 SS), or fully DVD-compliant MPEG-2.
    One can Export in either of these (I choose DV-AVI elemental stream, and AC3 DD 5.1 SS elemental stream), and then Import the Video into Encore as a Timeline and the Audio as an Asset. Drag the Audio to the appropriate Timeline and author to DVD-Video in Encore.
    If you know what you're doing, you can use bit-budgeting to calculate your MPEG-2 compression, Export that, and then Import it into Encore. Make sure that all settings are 100% DVD-compliant.
    Now, back to your quality problem:
    The source files are using CRAM, but you do not have it. Installing it might improve the quality, or it might not. What are the settings that you have used on Export, where you got the bad results?
    Good luck,

  • Client Supplied AVI files from Flip Camera--Can't Edit in Premiere CS3

    A client handed me a DVD-ROM disc with video footage he shot on a Flip camera.
    The footage appears to import with no errors, but when I drag it to the timeline, I am presented with the "no" icon (O with a slash through it).
    Apparently CS3 only sees the file as audio and I can drag it there.
    VLC Media Player will play both the video AND audio portion, so I know the files are complete. It is just Premiere that can't deal with them.
    Before I tell the client I can't take the job, is there anything I overlooked that would make these Flip camera AVI files editable in Premiere CS3?

    Here is one of the ARTICLES that Harm mentions, from the PrE Tips & Tricks sub-forum.
    There is also a very recent post to this forum on using the Flip material. I think that I, Jeff and probably Harm commented in that one. You can filter your Seach by People and use any one of us. I'd start with Jeff Bellune and look for the more recent dates.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere CS3 lauch Encore CS4...

    I have installed CS4 and kept CS3 on same system (Vista x64), as I have projects ongoing under Cs3.
    Under Premiere Pro CS3, if I export to ENCORE, it now launch Encore CS4. I was used to CS3 proceeding to DVD burning after different steps. Maybe it's just a matter of learning the rope of Encore CS4, but I just wonder if a project under Premiere CS3 can effectively proceed under Encore CS4 for DVD burning ?
    When I get there, nothing happen as it was under Encore CS3... Or Am i just missing a command to burn the DVD ?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    lanstrad2008,
    Rather than fight with the linking of PP to Encore3/4, I'd look to Jim's suggestion.
    In a nutshell, you Export from PP, and then Import into Encore (of your choice). There are other ways to do this, but the fool-proof method is (assuming SD footage to DVD-Video) to:
    1.) Export>Movie and choose DV-AVI elemental stream (Video ONLY).
    2.) Export>AME and choose PCM/WAV, or AC3 elemental stream (Audio ONLY).
    3.) Open Encore (of your choice), define your Project and Import>As Timeline, your DV-AVI file.
    4.) Import>As Asset, your WAV, or AC3.
    5.) From Encore Project Panel, drag your Audio file to the proper Timeline.
    6.) Do your navigational Assets, i.e. Menus, Playlists etc.
    7.) Check Project
    8.) Preview
    9.) Let Encore set the Transcode settings for your target output, i.e. DVD-5, or DVD-9.
    Good luck,

  • Importar mp3 en Adobe Premiere CS3

    Hola!.
    Estoy probando el premiere CS3, pero cuando le doy a importarv, en los tipos de archivo no me deja escoger ficheros .mp3 (deja muchos otros, avi, jpg, etc...) y si pongo en tipo de archivo *.* y elijo un archivo de audio en mp3, me dice que el "formato de archivo no admitido".
