OMF Export issue in Premiere CS6

Hello,
I am trying to export a feature length OMF file for my sound mixer. I have the tracks I want on and selected. I then do File - Export - OMF. I do encapsulated audio, with 60 frame handles. I then start the export. I encodes through the files then it starts "generating metadata" and making its "First Pass Parsing Tracks", but it will immediatly jump to about 1/3 of the way through and just sit there. I have left it for about 3 hours and it still sits there. I have tried saving to various folders/hard drives and still no luck. I have seen people having problems with the omf working with other programs, but I haven't seen many people with this problem. Deadline is fast approaching and I desperately need to get this out to my sound mixer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Hi Anthony,
I'm using Premier Pro 6 from the creative cloud, and am also doing a feature length doc. I'm having issues exporting an OMF and it originally came from FCP 7. I'm wondering if you've had any other reflections on the issues mentioned above and if you can offer any more insight? I'm pretty sure I don't have any filter applied anywhere as I had only exported it from FCP 7 when I was in the logging phase.
Someone else mentioned using Audition. Send the whole sequence to Audition and export an OMF from there. Have you tried to send your feature length doc sequence to Audition and has it been succesfull?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Multitrack OMF Export Issue - CS6

Hello All,
Does CS6 not like exporting an OMF when I have a multitrack audio file? It hangs during OMF export (separate files) and never finishes.
If that is the case, what is the purpose of the multitrack audio file.
ex: I have one stereo track, and one multitrack on the timeline.
Thanks!
- Ryan

Hey TacoRye,
I posted about this like a month ago and got no response. It has made my life hell on this job I'm doing. What happens is when you make the OMF PP is taking the entire audio track that is attached to every clip in your video instead of pairing it down with handles so the OMF is huge. Apparently OMF's can't be over 2 gigs with media embedded. The only work around is to render and replace but then your audio engineer doesn't have handles. (You'd think they'd at least give you handle options on render and replace.) I never ever would have started this edit of 10 different videos using the multi track functions in premiere as they obviously haven't thought through the work flow. You can't even match your audio back to original source to try and replace just the audio portions of clips in your timeline. Absolutely pathetic.

Media offline issue in premiere cs6

I recently had my copy of Premiere CS6 fixed due to a handlertitler.dll problem. However, when it was finally fixed there was some playback issues, and about a third of my media is offline. How do I relink the media to where I can hear and see my video on Premiere CS6?

Media Offline is most often caused by the links to it, which are absolute Paths, being changed. It could be a drive letter, a file Rename, or similar.
I agree with Jim, that the best course of action is to let PrPro relink that media, when it asks "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you have not Moved, or Renamed anything, I would definitely check my HDD's, to make sure that they are functioning at 100%.

Latest nVidia 310.90 drivers issues with Premiere CS6

Hey guys,
I'm currently running the GTX590 with 306.97 drivers and any later drivers have proven to not work with Premiere CS6.
I understand Premiere has issues with SLI and can only utilize a single GPU, but if I update the drivers to anything later than 306.97, my preview window goes blank during playback. Audio is working and After Effects preview works just fine, but Premiere has issues with displaying video during playback.
The main reason I wanted to update the nVidia drivers is for better gameplay, but seeing that i cannot edit in Premiere because of that, i have reverted back to 306.97.
Does anyone have suggestions with regards to getting the latest drivers to work with Premiere CS6?
Thanks!

They work fine for me on Win 8. But I don't have SLI.

Media Manage Issues with Premiere CS6

My Premiere CS6 seems to have trouble media managing entire 30 minute shows. I have tried a number of different options. I have made new sequences with individual segments that are smaller, new projects and reducing the size of photos in the sequence just to name a few. Each one ends with the same error message and a Premiere CS6 crash. Does anyone have any other solutions?

That would work for saving all video but what about tranistions, color, audio filters? Also media managing my projects saves a lot of space on my computer by eliminiting the video I dont use. My stock video is saved to a back up drive. I would like to be able to open up a media manage in the future if need be and make adjustments and re export. Sometimes clients ask for small changes. I have media managed every single one of my projects up to this point, this problem just recently came about. So I know it can work and it does. I just dont know why it doesnt work properly anymore.

Export Premiere CS6 keyboard shortcuts on OSX lion? Comment exporter raccourcis clavier Premiere CS6

(Mac OS Lion) How can I export my Premiere CS6 keyboard shortcuts on another computer (without print and retyping)?
(Mac OS Lion) Comment exporter les raccourcis clavier de Premiere Pro CS6 et les importer sur un autre ordinateur (sans imprimer et retaper les raccourcis un à un)?

Hi,
This might help:
Adobe Forums: Finding and customizing keyboard shortcuts
In Lion you will need to find a way to get into the Library folder which is hidden. One methode would be to use the Goto command and paste the thread: (your main harddrive name)/users/userfolder/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0
If that doesn't work right away then reduce the thread back until your in the hiden Library folder and then look for a Premiere Pro folder.

Sick to death of export issues in Premiere Pro CC

I waste so much time with random errors exporting from premiere.
The most recent issue being it decides to randomly not export audio from tracks 2 and 3. It begins fine then out of the blue drops the 2nd and 3rd tracks, track 1 remains audible. The worst part about this is that there is no way to know if it will happen until the full render is complete. The first time it happened I was doing a batch export of 7 videos in Media Encoder. It rendered the first video in its entirety fine, the following 6 video all dropped the 2 or 3rd track randomly during the export. So the next day I began exporting them all one at a time with good results until I got to the 4th video and it did it again. I am re rendering without the media encoder now but I don't have much expectation for that result as when I don't use media encoder the program often returns a "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error." right at the end of the render.
I also can't render .mov files to any other drive than the local D drive and only through Media Encoder.
I have been a Premiere user for some 15 years and I have to say this new Creative Cloud is the most frustrating and time consuming product I have ever come across in terms of rendering a final product.
System specs:
i7 4470 @3.40ghz
16g ram
evga gtx760

I have to applaud your thoroughness in testing and detail in writing this up.
Unfortunately I may not be of much assistance. I have to assume (by your thoroughness) that all machines are running the same OS version. If that is the case, you certainly seem to have isolated the problem to either the 2012 Mac hardware (iMac or Ethernet chipset) or the specific Ethernet drivers for that model.
Chances are, since PPro 7.2.1 works in the environment on other Macs, it is actually a Mac/Editshare problem.

4K export issue on Premiere Pro CC

Hi!
I recently purchased Sony FDR AX100 4K comcorder.
I exported the same footage in Premiere Pro CC (Trial Version) and Premiere Pro CS6 using the same exporting setting, H264 bitrate 80.
When I play using the VLC player into my computer, the one from Premiere Pro CS6 was played well, but the one from Premiere Pro CC was not played well, sound was OK, but video stopped and played repeated.
Is there anyone have the same problem?
I am considering to upgrade to Premiere CC membership.
Thanks for reading!
Sunny

Update!!!!!
Thanks for kind reply.
Here is the setting on both programs.
This is CS6 setting
This is CC setting.
I tested few more times..
Also CC exporting file is little larger than CS6 file.

OMF Export Issue

Need help exporting an OMF to include the media inside the file (rather than referring to it) For some reason, the resulting exported files are simply shells, meaning they do not contain the media inside the file itself. The file sizes should be much larger.
Any thoughts?
[Please choose a short description for the thread title and only post the actual issue in the main body.]
Message was edited by: Jim Simon

If I choose Encapsulate in the settings, the audio is included in the OMF, which get's extracted when opening.

HELP!!! Work area bar / export issue in Premiere CS4

I have a project that is several hours in length. There is a small part, about 5 minutes worth, that I need to export. I have set the work area bar for just that area. However, no matter what I do, it exports my entire sequence. How can I get this to ONLY export the work area? Anyone else had this issue?

>Does this mean that the prior feature [...] has been discontinued by Adobe in CS4?

Exporting Issues in Premiere Elements 11

In the program Premiere Elements 11 my video looks perfect, all my images are aligned and put in the exact way I want them to be but when I go to export it it moves the images and messes up the end result. I don't know what to do to make it export correctly, I've tried it multiple times in multiple different option it give me but it just won't export it right. What I've done is edited a person so they're pure black (shadow like) and put a white border around them (altering them with Eight Point Garbage Matte) but it gives me this.
In the Program
When Exported
Please if I can get help soon that'd be most appreciated because this video is need for the play we are going to put on at school next week. In fact we first big practice is tomorrow and we really need to to practice with the video.

Kayla P
Please give the following information....
What is the project preset that you (manually) or the project (automatically) sets as the project preset.
If you do not know, please tell us what you see for Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for
Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.
What are the exact export choices and settings for your Timeline content....Publish+Share/ then what?
If Publish+Share/Computer, then what? And when you make the choice, do you use the default settings
or customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Export issue - cs5 to cs6

Hi
I am drawing images with illustrator and I convert them into .eps files before I use them in my latex file. I was using cs5 until two weeks ago and I had no problem.
I changed to cs6 and now, every image displays on one whole page in latex. What I mean is that before, the program was capable of identifying automatically where the drawing was in the whole page and it trimed it accordingly. Now it just displays the whole page.
I could trim every .eps file in latex but I am hoping it is possible to make it more automatic.
Thank a lot
Jan

Before Saving to EPS, do Object>Artboards>Fit to Artwork Bounds.

Premiere CS6 Still Has a Long Way To Go

I'm in commercial editing and work as offline editor, assistant editor and compositor. I've been using Premiere Pro ever since FCPX came out, but not in the workplace as an offline tool because of certain major missing features:
- a good EDL exporter (absolutely essential in a commercial pipeline where we're bouncing sequences to grading suites and Flame all the time)
- dupe detection (essential for prepping sequences for grading)
- timecode overlays in the monitors
- colored markers
- marker overlays (to quickly see what the content of a marker is when scrubbing in the timeline)
- searchable markers (great when needing to find one line you know you had marked)
- a visual keyboard settings editor (FCP and Avid got it right, Premiere is a mess, although improved from CS5 which didn't have the ability to search for commands)
- the ability to rename clips to match file names (can't tell you how many times I use this in FCP)
- use of CMD X, C and V for cutting, copying and pasting marked selections in the timeline without adding in/out points
- match frame edit indicators
- heal match frame edit function
- timeline to timeline editing. Not expecting what Avid offers, which is enhanced by the ability to toggle your timeline between source and record, but to be able to do what FCP7 does by letting you edit with clip data, i.e. edit your track layout and edit points from a sequence in the viewer into the timeline.
I'm super disappointed that not a single one of the above features has been addressed in Premiere Pro CS6. I think the dupe detection, timecode overlays, and EDL export are the biggest disappointments.
For a little clarity on the EDL issue, every editor and assistant I know renames clips after they're imported into the project. They don't use the "Scene" and "Take" metadata tags, because they want the clip name on the far left of the project window. This isn't so much of an issue in Avid, but that software is on a different level. Anyways, in Premiere, once you rename a clip, that's the way the clip name is going to come out out in the EDL. This is a massive problem for Alexa and RED jobs, which is most of what I work with, because timecode isn't going to be unique to a clip on a multi-day, multi-cam shoot. In FCP7, you have the option to export your EDL with either clip or file names. Alternatively, you can select all the clips from your edit and choose "Rename Clip to Match File Name." Premiere has none of these options. The only workaround is to go through every clip in your edit, reveal in project, bring up the properties, copy the file name that's there, then paste into the clip name. This is not a workable solution for a 60 second commercial with an edit every 12-48 frames.
While Speedgrade is lovely, no one is going to convince Company 3, The Mill, MPC, Light Iron, or New Hat to switch from Resolve, Scratch, Baselight or Pablo. And to get stuff into those systems, EDLs are still the preferred method when you talk to the assistants who are loading the projects.
On the good side, it's great to see improved playback stability and scrubbing, the new audio meters are great, adjustment layers are a big help, the marker tab in the project pane has a lot of potential (why not make it searchable?), and the new trim tool is GREAT and right on par with Avid.
With the exception of the playback control, though, I would trade all of the above improvements to have the hit list above taken care of. Adobe seems to have added some very good big picture, high profile improvements. It's the little things that you encounter every day in a long edit that really need some attention now. PLEASE give a look to this stuff.
I had really hoped I'd be able to use PP CS6 as an offline tool in my pipeline, but that's not going to happen. Nor do I know any editors or assistants in commercial post in LA who will want to work without the above features.
If anyone has some insights into the above features and maybe making these things work in CS6 as currently released, I'm open to hearing them and hopeful that there are workarounds.
Thanks and have a blessed day!

The command copy, cut paste don't work unless you add edits to create a
discreet clip. You can't simply copy from an in to an out point. The
workaround is to add your markers, use lift or extract, undo to clear the
damage you just did to your sequence, then paste the clipboard contents
that you still have from the lift or extract operation.
Regarding Speedgrade, it appears to be in its infancy and has a promising
future, but what you get for free from Davinci Resolve Lite is wildly
awesome. It does everything the $1000 version of DaVinci does except
stereoscopic color, network rendering, shared projects, and shared memories
between projects (i.e. power mastering). So, for free, you have a blazing
fast color grade suite with the identical toolset actively in use by
Company 3 and The Mill. Add a panel or two and you're really rockin and
rolling. We use it at the shop I'm freelancing at now and it can burn
through dailies transcodes (still essential for Red and Alexa), at about
40fps. Awesome.
I think choosing between Avid MC and Premiere is strictly a "what do you
need it for" question. The main problem with Avid is now and always has
been the hard import aspect. AMA works kinda ok, but I know no one who
starts and finishes a project strictly with AMA. Plus it doesn't work on
an average laptop without a lot of herky jerky playback, even at 10:1, and
at some point on a long edit, you're likely going to be working off a
laptop.
The ability of Premiere to ingest ANYTHING immediately, including DPX
sequences, is phenomenal. If you don't want to wait for AJA, Blackmagic
has some excellent and more affordable video I/O solutions that work with
CS6 right now. The playback is so much better than CS5.5. I think the
reason why it was a problem before was because it's trying to play nice
with anything as it is. FCP needed everything to be a quicktime. Avid
needs everything to be MXF. Premiere says "come one come all!" and that's
a tall, tall order. Now it's working great and the Adobe folks should be
lauded for whatever engineering magic they used to make this happen. Huge
timesaver, especially in finishing when I need to bounce more complex comp
work to Nuke and back.
The second thing that Premiere kills at is effects work, even though it's
not so much Premiere as it is After Effects. Avid has nothing there close
to this. Animatte? Spectramatte? Give me After Effects any day. So, you
can offline AND online a project with the Premiere and After Effects combo.
Awesome!
The biggest shortcoming Premiere has, I think, is it's audio filter suite.
It's a huge liability and something I hope they devote a lot of attention
to. The way Avid can't match the Premiere/After Effects duo,
Premiere/Soundbooth cannot match what Avid has built in. The Audiosuite
effects seemed to be designed to give you a bit of ProTools within your
NLE.
I think the best solution, at least until Smoke 2013 comes out this fall,
seems to be to choose the app that is best suited for your project. I
don't think the conversation should be about one program wiping out another
one, which it seemed to often be the tone of Avid vs. FCP debates.
The more I play with Premiere CS6, the more I like it. I used 5 and 5.5 on
commercials a few times and felt like the software was getting in the way,
particularly toward the end when I needed to generate EDLs and OMFs (I
haven't tried the OMF export out of Premiere CS6 yet, but it can't be worse
than 5.5 - my guess is it's no better though, based on what did and did not
get improved). It was fine for finishing, but you'd have to work around
playback issues all the time, which got a bit embarrassing with clients in
the room.
I think CS6, for it's numerous shortcomings - none of which are
catastrophic or deal-breakers - provides an excellent foundation on which
to build something that could definitely one day pick where FCP7 left off.
Smoke 2013 is the storm on the horizon, though, if you ask me. But
competition is GREAT and I actually hope Blackmagic joins the game as well.
The more the merrier!

OMF Exporting in CS6 for an FCP7 Dummy

Hey guys,
Having a horrible experience exporting an OMF for my audio guy. He is on ProTools. I've tried every type of "track" and exported through both Premiere CS6 and Audition CS6, with no luck.
I'm a long-time user of FCP7, and never had an issue.
Is there an "easy" way to recreate the simple workflow I had in FCP7?
Here's a screenshot of the errors he's getting:
Thanks!

Hi,
I just had a similar issue. I have a feature length doc and I couldn't export an OMF. It would stop about 3/4 the way and give me errors. After some reading I found out that OMF only deals with mono files. So, what I did was I went through ever clip in my timeline and changed each stereo clip to mono. Here's the process:
I'm on a Mac too by the way.
In the timeline, match frame any clip that appears to not be mono. That clip will show up in your viewer. In the file menu, click on Clip/Modify/Audio Channels. Near the top where it says Preset, click the drop down menu and click Mono. A warning will come up to tell you that other clips wont be affected. That's ok, click OK. Then replace the clip in the timeline with the one in the viewer. You should get two audio clips in two audio tracks.
the worst thing you can do, I think, is to have a stereo audio clip in one track. I think Premiers circuts blow up when it sees that.
Hope that helps.

Premiere CS6 and CC: any compatibility issues working back and forth between both versions?

Hello,
What are the compatibility issues with Premiere CS6 and CC versions? Can the user go back and forth? I run a computer lab at a college and we will be upgrading to CC but many students will still be using the older CS6 version of Premiere until we update all the computers.... Will students run into problems?
Thanks,
dmichael

My concern is going back and forth between the versions... I read somewhere there are compatibility issues with Premiere....Can the user working in CC go back to premiere CS6? and vice versa?
Thanks,
