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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Is the Upload to Server feature working in CS6 for Mac . . . or any of the export modules?

    Is the Upload to Server feature working in CS6 for Mac . . . or any of the export modules?

    No, unfortunately the photomerge ui plugin will not work in photoshop cs6 on the mac side.
    You can always use photoshop cs5 for those times when you really need it.
    In photoshop cs6 you could align your photos manually as best you can, then select all the layers and go to Edit>Auto-Blend Layers>Panorama with Seamless Tones and Colors checked

  • Who does CS6 keep freezing the export at 100% for a long project?

    I have a timeline with about 38 smaller H.264 files butted against each other - no missing video at all - no black frames. (I did it this way so all the effects , etc., have been rendered out already into a separate file so as not to disturb the long render of the whole film.) After I wait close to two hours, (lots of ram,) it freezes at 100% and that's it folks. Sometimes it says there's :14 seconds left to go, 100% rendered, and still freezes. I don't mean for a few minutes - I mean until the coming apocalypse. I noticed when I had clips at 5-10 minutes that it still froze - maybe for a few minutes - and then the file was complete with audio/video combined into the MP4.
    Now I know I can bring in separate clips into Encore from the get go, let Encore handle everything in one timeline and hopefully successfully burn to disc. But - when the time comes to sell this to a buyer, they'll no doubt want ONE long video file as a deliverable - not a collection of clips they have to reassemble for whatever reason. I don't want to go to a large post production facility with 38 video clips and the separate audio files (they exist in one piece from an audio house,) and pay them who know how much an hour to do the export and burn for me.
    I have emptied the media cache, tried taking it from a 93 minute video to a chunk of 35 minutes, but still it freezes. I have tried this in CS6 and the CC version since I subscribe to the Suite. I'm trying an 18 minute clip now. If that works I'd be bringing in 5 clips or so into Encore and then lay in my audio which exists in one piece - and God willing the thing won't burn me a video where the audio/video is off by even a frame - so that scares me a lot. Exporting for Encore is not my issue - it's making a 93 minute 1920x1080 H.264 video file I can hand over to someone. And this isn't even a BluRay setting! I still have to make that successfully!
    Thank you.

    I shoot for about -6dB, with no peaks above 0dB.
    Sounds like you have a very weak signal. I'd set away from PrPro and handle this in SB, or Audition. Listen carefully with a good pair of noise-canceling headphones first, and then test on monitors.
    Are you working in mono, stereo or 5.1 SS?
    Good luck,

  • Audition 5.0.1 crash on OMF export

    I'm getting a crash everytime I try to export an OMF from Audition 5.0.1 ( and also from 5.0.0 )
    I'm on a mac 10.7.3 any clues, anyone else seeing this?

    Hi Durin
    Actually no it wasn't working on 5.0 either, I tried installing the update patch in the hope it would fix it. Thanks for all your help with this.

    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested.

  • Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

    I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
    The errors that are occurring are the following:
    On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
    When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
    The way I've been exporting is:
    File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
    Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
    Standard: None
    Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
    Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
    Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
    Compression
    I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
    Output
    Color Conversion: convert to destination
    Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
    Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
    However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
    At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
    Thank you in advance.

    Show Large Images is a preference inside of Acrobat which might be disabled.

  • Can choose 5.1 in Audition CS6 for monitoring, but not in Premiere Pro CS6

    System: Z820, Win 7  Ultimate x64
    Audio: Creative SoundBlaster Recon3D PCIe, Altec Lansing 5.1 speaker system
    SW: Master Collection CS6
    I've been using Premiere Pro CS6 for a while now, but only for stereo video projects. I recently started working on a short film and needed 5.1 Surround Sound as well. I created a 5.1 surround track in Au, and have been able to monitor the sound and surround panning effects in Au during development. Here are the Audio and Channel Mapping settings I used to get my 5.1 to work so I could monitor it:
    As can be seen, I've chosen the default MME Device Class here, and all seems well. I have 6 channels identified and mapped to the right corners. I've also confirmed my Master Track in Au is 5.1 Surround. I exported a 5.1 WAV and imported it into Pr, into a 5.1 surround session, confirming that both the track where the WAV file landed and the Master are both 6 channels (and although the order is displayed differently, the content correctly mapped from Au into Pr).
    Now, my fun began. When I monitor the audio in Pr, I hear only Stereo. So, I check my channel mapping in Pr, as shown below:
    As can be seen here as well, I've chosen the 'default' Premiere Pro WDM Sound. I've learned that WDM is a newer version of MME and encapsulates all the functionality of MME. I'm not sure why Au uses MME and Pr uses WDM. However, as shown, with WDM chosen, I only have 2 channels in the mapping dialog to work with, not the 6 I have (and had in Au). Nothing I can do will produce those other four channels.
    As seen in the drop down captured in the above screen grab, I also have ASIO4ALL installed, but that too only shows 2 channels in both Pr and Au. Interestingly, when I hover the mouse over the speaker selection in the ASIO4ALL control panel, it only indicates there are 2 channels (but indicates that there are 6 INPUT channels). The Creative SBZ Series ASIO option is no better, providing only 2 channels.
    So, I was off to check my system settings, which are all shown below:
    As seen above, Windows knows there is 5.1 surround on the system, and the Test available  in the bottom left dialog proves that each speaker is configured and working correctly. Audition also knows there is 5.1 available on my system and uses it correctly as described earlier. However, Pr refuses to recognize this and as a result I am unable to monitor any 5.1 surround projects on my system. If neither Au nor Pr worked, then I'd mark it down as Sound Card or Driver issues, but since one Adobe product uses the system audio correctly, and the other doesn't, it leads me to believe that it is Pr who is at fault.
    So, my question is this: Why won't Pr recognize my 6 output channels like Au does?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Shane

    ryclark, I believe you are correct in that Au uses MME while Pr uses WDM, but both MME and WDM (which, according to the Microsoft specification, encapsulates ALL of the MME capabilities, and expands on them) are 5.1 capable. I can play my export from Au as a 6 channel interleaved WAV file as well as an AC3 conversion  of that same file in both VLC and Windows Media Player and get the same 5.1 channel surround sound field I do from Au.
    After more research, I'm beginning to think this might be a result of the fact that Pr is 64 bit and Au is still 32 bit in CS5.5 and 6. I don't know if Au CC is 64 bit, but if it is, I'd be interested to know if what I am seeing is reproducible in the CC versions of Pr and Au (to eliminate the 64 bit vs 32 bit argument). Some have suggested that perhaps the standard SB driver is only 32 bit, although it 'supports' 64 bit supposedly, but maybe Pr just can't handle that 32 (faux 64) bit driver. A possibility.
    Thanks for the read and response. Seems lots of people are in this boat together. You have recommended elsewhere to use an external audio interface, but just to do 5.1 monitoring (I don't do any live recording to my PC, this if for movie sound post/mixing) sounds pretty clunky. At the least, I think I'd need not only an external audio device with at least 6 channels out, but a receiver to take those outputs, and 6 new audio speakers to connect to that AVR. I currently use my computer's soundcard, as you know, and your standard 5.1 powered computer speaker system attached to that. Not the best, I know, but at this point, I'm just going for surround, but THX, so it is sufficient ;-).
    Cheers,
    Shane

  • Problems Exporting on CS6

    I am exporting multiple clips on Premiere Pro CS6 from MTS files to Apple ProRes 422. Most of them work except when I have to export a longer clip. Everytime the export is stopping at 2:30. Also the file size is not going over 2.5 GB.
    Like I said, the exporting is working for any other clip that is shorter then 2:30 or smaller then 2.5GB. I have tried exporting the clips on 2 machines now and it still won't export larger then 2.5 GB.
    Has anyone else had this problem before or is there maybe a setting that needs to be fixed so I can export larger files?
    Thanks

    Best guess is the export drive is not properly formatted for larger files.  Make sure to use NTFS, exFAT or HFS for all drives.

  • Syncing Audio with Merge Clips option and OMF export question/issue

    Hi,
    In the past when I've edited video, when it came to syncing audio I always did it manually.  This time, using Premiere Pro CC, I used the merge clips option, to speed up the syncing audio process, which was a huge time saver with excellent results.
    The question/issue I have..is that when I get my OMF exported for my sound editor, will this screw anything up, since on the project file, it doesn't use the original audio file, but the one that was merged.  And in the project list, I don't even need to have the original audio file listed, since it's already been merged into a clip, which I used in the project.  I know it's the same file used, but will it mess anything up since a merged clip audio was used instead of just dragging the original track onto the timeline? 
    - Ken

    A good way to know for sure (and therefore feel comfortable that you're doing the right thing) is to do a test OMF export, then open this in Audition. This ill show you exactly what you're exporting.

  • Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm in BW 3.5
    I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
    I followed below steps:
        I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
        In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource  was successful"
    Problem:
    Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
    Could anyone please help ????
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
    However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
    If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
    Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

  • How much future useage for CS6 for a stand-alone photographer?

    I'm a semi professional small-scale photographer. It's a hobby, but I do some commercial work. It certainly isn't a living (I have other income)
    I've been on CS6 for some time. It does absolutely everything that I need, and in fact it's too much. I could do with an application that's somewhere between Lightroom+Elements and CS6. It doesn't exist.
    But as I've paid for CS6 I'm quite happy to keep on using it ad infinitum - after all, with no more upgrades (CS7 etc)  it's free now! But at a realistic level how long can I run it for, do you think? I run a good spec desktop PC with Windows 7. I use CS6 in 64bit mode, and also Bridge. Assuming my PC fails in 12 months time (it's three years old) I will get a new destop using Windows 8. CS6 will run under Windows 8, so no problems there. My new desktop may last 5 years? That gives me a total of 6 years using CS6.
    Of course, there will need to be support from Adobe for CS6, in particular if any significant bugs arise. But why should there be new bugs, unless they are in relation to third-party plugins etc? CS6 has been out for some time. Adobe are not going to change it (they have their head stuck in a cloud) so it shouldn't get broken. Or am I wrong in thinking that?
    Any thoughts?

    CC is more a trap then an upgrade.
    A Photoshop only user is better off staying  with CS6 and not be being trap.
    While I would prefer to have the new features being added to ACR.  I do not need the new improved old features with their new interfaces, new icons and new bugs. These change post processing work flow they only seem to slow user down and make more work for them.  I also do not need or want the 3D tools. Photoshop is not a 3D program by design. Photoshop 3D feature is more an add-on and lacks features found in real 3D creation programs.
    I want a stable image editor. While CS6 has bugs I know which bugs effect my work and know my way around most.   Photoshop CS6 still occasionally crashes from time to time but now on my new machine it only seems to happen in SciptUIFlex and I can use Photoshop  for days without a crash.  Today was not one of them. 
    To tell you the truth all upgrade after CS3 have been plagued with bugs. I was not looking forward to having to upgrade to CS7.
    It look like CC has its share of bugs too.  Though CC seems to be starting off better then CS6 did.  While there have been a few dozen bugs reported in Adobe's Photoshop Family problem forum. That is not a large number and most are not problems with CC crashing.

  • I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

    I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

    Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.
