PP Not scaling .r3d files in program monitor w/ XP machine

Premire Pro V4.2
If you cue to 10:01 in the following link http://tv.adobe.com/watch/davtechtable/using-the-red-camera-raw-and-cs4 it will show you how to manipulate source settings on .r3d files on a mac-based machine, which also makes global changes in how the timeline interprets the footage. This, in turn, sizes source footage correctly in the program monitor after editing. I'm doing some initial testing of .r3d files on a xp based machine, and the source footage after editing does NOT scale the footage at all unless you resize it manually in the program monitor. The source settings have a completely different dialog than what appears on the mac - more gamma curves and color correction workspace kind of stuff. It doesn't have the option to scale footage. Does anyone out there have a windows 7 machine and an .r3d file they could try this on? I'm wondering if this issue is platform based.

Dennis-
The system I'm doing these tests on is a HP8200, dual processor, 3 gig ram, windows xp 32 bit. This system is being utilized for testing purposes to decide in which direction I wiil go in the future. I would replace this system with a windows 7 64 bit z800, dual zeon 5560, 24 gig ddr3 ram, nvidia quadro cs, not sure what breakout box would be utilized...enough about the future.
The problem I'm having is the source setting doesn't allow me to make the global changes or even view those types of settings the source dialog box. I spoke with a gentleman in support today with PP CS4 4.1 Vista 64 and he said he was not able to see the dialog either.
Anyway, these are the steps:
1. right click .rsd file from source bin.
2. select source settings.
3. This is where the issue begins. There should be a resolution setting somewhere here (like in the video). There is not. Are you able to see those types of settings on your windows based machine? If you can great, question answered and I can move on and order my z800.
One more thing, is PP CS4 V4.2 certified with Windows 7 64 ?

Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR. ?

Hi, I get this message (loosely translated from Swedish):
"Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR.
Confirm that you have access to this file"
when I try to install Acrobat standard 7.0, and after several "retry" I cannot finish the installation.
Does anyone know why?
Thank you,
MIa

Appears that you are on a Win7, 64-bit machine. AA 7 has an issue with activation since the server no longer exists for AA 7. There is a separate install at Adobe to address this issue that might solve the problem temporarily (Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3). Even if you get AA 7 installed on Win7, you will have to do workarounds to make it work. Both the print driver (Adobe PDF) and AcroTray.exe fail on Win7 and they require workarounds to be able to even use AA 7. It is strongly recommended that you get AA XI at this point.

Image Not Showing Up Properly In Program Monitor

Hey guys, I am trying to do some animation with photographs. I was able to easily import them(they are in .jpg format)but when I drag them to the video section of the timeline. The image in the program monitor is only the very center portion of my image, and I can't figure out what is going on. Only an extremely small portion of the image shows up. It shows up fine in the source monitor but not in the program monitor. I tried changing views and everything but nothing worked.
The resolution of the images are 3872 x 2592. I don't know if my resolution is limited or some settings are wrong or if I am doing something stupid... Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Use Photoshop to adjust the image size to reflect your project size. You can use actions to batch convert all your images in one go. That requires a new import of the adjusted images into your project. An alternative might be to rename the current image directory, start PP and when asked where the image files are, browse to the newly created directory with the smaller images.

I can not select clips in the program monitor?

Normally I can double click on the sequence program monitor and select clips to scale and move about.. but for some reason this is not working? This happened to me once before but I forget how I fixed it.. I think it was a hotkey or something?
Any ideas how to enable this feature again?

Just position the playhead over the clip double clicking in the PW should also work, at least it does for me.
Selecting clip and clicking on the Transform Icon in the Effect Controls comes in handy when a clip is superimposed by another clip.

Project Manager not trimming R3D files.

Mac
CS5.5
I am trying to make a trimmed project. I go to Project Manager and I select "Create New Trimmed Project"
I include 24f handles, Rename Meda files to Match...etc
The Resulting (est) project size says 5GB when the actual project turns out to be 20GB.
Thoughts?
(Btw, I tried collecting and copying files and the it was the same size (20GB), same amount of footage in both folders)

PPro can't trim R3D files. It would require a RED codec to be able to generate new R3Ds... the best it can do is consolidate your project to just the media that's actually used in the edit.

HELP!

Hey Tony, you don't happen to work for a large aerospace company, do you? My guess is that you do, because I work at the same place, and the problem is with our company's distribution of quicktime. email me off list and I'll tell you how to fix it.

Source Monitor smooth, but Program Monitor STUTTERS

What would cause a clip to play smoothly in the SOURCE monitor, but to not play smoothly in the PROGRAM monitor? Playback resolution makes no difference.
I've tried using "New Sequence From Clip" - same problem. I'm not using an external monitoring device like AJA or Blackmagic.
Boggles my mind. If you figure it out, I owe you lunch.
(Note: Sequence settings match, playback settings are the same for each monitor, software is CS5.5, computer is Mac Pro 3,1 with 10GB RAM, graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 3870, and hard drive is fibre channel RAID.)

Refresh rates are always the first thing to check - your external monitor should be set to the same refresh as the content. Playing 30p content on a 50Hz monitor will jitter and vice versa. That said I have never got external previews to playback without any stuttering at all and reading other posts around the only real solution is external hardware.

Question about going from source monitor into timeline prior to going into program monitor?

In FCP you had to take a clip from the equivalent of the Source Monitor to the Program Monitor and either do an insert or overwite edit with the clip from there. I see that Premiere has insert and overwrite buttons built right into the Source monitor window. Are there any issues with doing it all from here and not dragging them into the Program Monitor first?
Thanks.

Typical NLE behavior is to go from the Source Monitor to the Timeline. The Program Monitor shows whatever is in the timeline. If FCP forced you to go from Source to Program, and then to timeline, that is very unusual behavior for an NLE since, again, the Program monitor is supposed to show you what's in the timeline.
What PP now allows you to do is drag a clip from Source to Program, but this will simultaneously add the clip to the timeline because, as I said, the Program Monitor's purpose is to show you what's in the timeline. With most any NLE out there, if it ain't in the timeline, it won't show up in the Program Monitor. And if it shows up in the Program Monitor, then it must already be in the timeline.

Can't open MPEG that opened before: "The file is not a movie file."

I have an unusually large (for me) MPEG file that I succeeded in downloading and viewing sometime in the last year and a half, and I kept it on my disk despite its being over 3GB because I thought I might want to look at it again. Now I do, only it won't open: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." I tried using Time Machine to bring back earlier versions of QuickTime - 7.5 and 7.5.5 as I recall; I now have 7.6.2 - but these wouldn't open the file either, so I figure it may have something to do with a change in the system. In any event, should it be possible to open this file (again, it did open previously, with no problem), and if so how? Thanks.

I have a similar major problem and wonder if it its to do with file sizes or codecs. I recorded video at work from a laparoscopic medical camera and output the video at the end of the session from the device's hard-drive to my 16GB memory stick. It is a 750Mb with file extension .mp4 and I now get exactly the same message as others if try to open it with Quick time (I can't open it with anything else either and nor could our medical illustration department). I bought the quick time pro upgrade as was told that would probably work and got same problem. Interestingly, I have had a second problem today having worked on a separate movie I put together in i-movie that I had recorded from a hi-def panasonic camcorder, imported and successfully edited (with ease) in i-movie and exported it "uncompressed" as a quicktime movie. It was only 5mins of video and produced a 15GB file. I wanted to save this onto a 16GB memory stick, but found out that the FAT32 folder system doesn't allow that file size! So, I formatted the memory stick to "Mac extended journalled", and was able to save the entire file onto the stick. But, now it won't open in quick time! I get the same message as above! Does anybody have any idea what these two issues might be?

Taking recommendations for good sync/backup program (other than Time Machine)

Hello everyone,
I'm on the lookout for a good file synchronization program (other than Time Machine) which I can use to make one-way backups of specific subdirectories. The ideal program would do the following:
1) Do one-way synchronization of user-selectable subdirecotries within a directory A to directory B either on same hard drive or on external hard drive
2) Can be set up to make sure that B has the exact subdirectories/files as A, deleting any that are not present in A and adding anything that is added to A or anything that has been changed in A
3) Will not generate useless junk files that require me to manually clean up after them
4) Will not alter files and directories in A in any way
5) Will be inexpensive
6) Will not interfere with Time Machine, which I already use to backup multiple volumes to a single external hard drive.
I checked the App store first, but was disappointed that all three apps had mixed reviews, and none had recent reviews attesting to their efficacy (which I always interpret as a bad sign).
I also did a quick search for third-party programs, but their websites will only have good reviews, so naturally I'm checking here first.
Basically, I want this program so that I can use it to sychronize files to my Cloud (Box, Google Docs, Dropbox) directory to share with my friends, and also to make redundant backups of sensitive files to additional external hard drives not being utilized by Time Machine.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

CCC can be set up to copy just selected directories, or the entire disk. It does not need to make a full clone (although a full clone is a good way to have*something* that functions in case of emergency).
I take the approach of using a tool that can do much more than simple because it can do *that much more* in a pinch.
I gave my best advice, and have not investigated in more specialized tools.
Good luck to you.

Source File shows White Screen in Source + Program Monitor

Hello,
I'm having an issue with only one of three media files in my Premiere Pro CS6 project.
When I try to preview this one video file in the Source Monitor, it shows only a white screen, and I can only move the playhead to the beginning and end of the file. I then plopped the clip into the sequence to see if rendering it would give me better luck in the Program Monitor, yet to no avail. The file supposedly successfully rendered, yet when I open the subsequently created "Preview" file in VLC, the entire clip is completely white for its entire duration. (I think it's interesting to note that VLC plays the source file correctly, and that this footage has been successfully used in a separate project in Final Cut after converted to ProRes with Compressor.)
I've opened the file with GSpot to make sure I had the Codec installed, yet GSpot doesn't list any Codec information for this file. It only lists Container information.
(Screen shot of GSpot with white-screen issue in the background)
My Video Card drivers are up to date, taken directly from the chipset's manufacturer's website.
Codec: (See post below for Media Info dump)
Premiere Pro version 6.0.3 (001 (MC: 264587)), installed in English.
Sequence Settings: DVCPROHD 1080i50 default settings (framerate changed to 50FPS)
Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1, English, 1440x900 32bit Color
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00 GHz
2GB RAM
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Driver version 8.15.10.2869
53.2GB of free space on the SSD all of the media files, the operating system, the Adobe Premiere installation, and scratch disk is located.
I'm unsure of the camera used to record this footage.
Thanks for reading my post, and let me know if you need any more information.

Image / picture not showing up in source or program monitor

I am working in Premiere Pro CC 2014. I cannot see the footage / images in either the source monitor or the program monitor. I can see the thumbnails in the bins but when I drag to the sequence or into source monitor, the picture does not come up in the monitors. I can see the images in AE and in Premiere Pro CC.
I have reset workspace. I have restarted the computer. It does not matter what the file format is.
Thoughts? Thanks.

Hey!
Have you tried changing the Video Renderer? If not, go to File > Project settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Click OK and select "Delete Previews".
Hope this helps..

Program Monitor - I'm not seeing whole clip when playing back

I'm real worried! Having spent days of my life importing video and editing it - and then trying to fix my problem of only seeing a part of the playing-back clip in the program monitor which led me onto your site. I've spent hours looking at your posts (and indeed Adobe help pages) trying to solve this and clearly (I think!) my original sequence settings have been wrong. Maybe I can come back to that because I'm really not sure how to set these correctly. My initial question please, if I complete my editing and then export this file, will I still only see part of the clips in the final version, or will I see the whole of the original movie clip?
Some information:
- Windows 7
- Premiere Pro CS4
- Program Monitor setting is "Fit"
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- PAL (based in the UK)
- Sony HD camcorder - SR12E
- 1920 x 1080i HD
Phew, hope that's enough information for you to 'kick start' me!
Thank you.
Regards, Doreen.

Would you also be able to tell me if the Sequence Preset below is my correct preset for the future. Thanks.
- AVCHD
- 1080i
- AVCHD 1080i30 60i (Amamorphic)
Oh, it's like a new language!

I can't get CS6 to recognize R3D files. I put the plugin and the server files in the proper spot and I used 64 not 32 like it said. I still can't get it to work

The only thing to do to get the R3D files working is download a plugin pack with 2 files in it. one goes in your plugin folder the other in some other folder. I found both original files and replaced them with the new ones. I have rebooted twice... nothing. it won't recognize R3D files. The Camera is a Red brand Epic Dragon and it puts our R3D files. R3D's are easily manipulated in Redcine, but I can't add my .mov files on it so I need to be able to work with these files in PP.

I'm sad now
Good thing I have a PC with 32-bit windows!
Now, I can only assume apple is working on a 64-bit
fix? I suppose that info/ETA is on the itunes page,
I'll go take a look.
Who knows what Apple plans are? I do know that they do not discuss upcoming releases of anything until its available.
