PPro CS5 rendered timeline keeps needing to be re-rendered upon open

I have a project with 10 tracks of video. What's happening is that if I spend the time to render the timeline to get all green and yellow bars above my project, if I save, exit and re-open the project, the same set of red bars are there and I have to re-render them again. Is this a bug or do I need to set something differently in my settings?
Currently:
Preferences
     Memory - set to optimize for Memory
     Media Cache Files - Save Media Cache files next to originals when possible / Location (same volume as Vid/Aud Previews are on) / Media Cache Database (same volume as Vid/Aud Previews are on)
Scratch disks:
     Captured Video / Audio same as project
     Video / Audio Previews on seperate internal disk
System specs:
Mac Pro 4,1 4-core 2.93GHz
OS 10.6.5
16GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4870
Premiere Pro CS5 5.0.3

THis sounds like a job for my cure all response - hope it works for you.

Keep needing to reboot ADSL Router to open VPN Connection

I keep needing reboot our ADSL router (Netgear DG834N) in order to open a VPN connection to our server.
I'm pretty sure this has come about since upgrading to 10.5.2
Any ideas what the problem might be?

You don't say if it is PPTP or L2TP.
Depending on model and firmware DG834x has IPSec VPN server capability built-in. Can complicate thing for L2TP "passthrough" (forwarding). Sometimes routers/firewalls without VPN server built-in is
more suitable for L2TP forwarding.
Could be L2TP having problems with UPD port 500 get "stuck" in the modem/router if that is what you use. Otherwise see if there is a firmware revison/update that fix VPN passthrough issuses.
Also getting GRE prtocol through for PPTP forwarding can be tricky. A "VPN-pasthrough" setting, if available, could somtimes fix this.

Cad converted to PDF, very slow rendering upon opening Document.

The Rendering when opening the document is very slow.
It takes about 45 seconds to open, then it freezes for another 10 seconds before one can view it.
iv'e read alot and tried different suggestions, but no solution so far.
Testet on Adobe Reader 10.1 and 9.2, and Acrobat 9.1. All the same.
The Document it self has been coverted form Cad to PDF, and has a very large resolution, it is 1.8MB, upon opening Reader uses about half a gig ram.
I've read that on opening, it has to rescale the image to fit ones resolution, and this is what takes time?
Simply wondering if anyone has any solution or explanation to why.
Thanks.

Drive A is 60 GB with 3.66GB free.
Running OSX from that drive should really slow it to a Crawl, and is getting to the dangerous point... you need at least 12GB fre, 30 GB would be better.
Nt certain why the other is so slow... did you open Activity Monitor & observe CPU, Memory & such while it is slow?
If you can free some space on the Internal, Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

IMovie will not launch. keeps stating there was an error upon opening and will not allow for either restore windows or to open without restoring window.

Appreciate any help I can get. Was working on a project and hoping I did not lose it.

That was my first attempt at fixing the problem and it didn't work. I guess I'll try it again.
Edit: Nope, nothing

PPro CS5: Titles have wrong color and thickness in Timeline

Hi there
if i'm writing a Title in PPro CS5, everything is ok and like in PPro CS4 in the Title-Window. Then i'm changing to the Timeline and the Title gets bright and thin in the Program Window. The Title has not it's origin color, as selected in the Title-Window. Also it has a different thickniss, it is hard to read on TV.
Here is a Screenshot of the Title in the Title-Window (picture above with green border) and the Title in the Timeline-Program Window (picture below with red border):
http://666kb.com/i/bj4dbxa1nxbv53s6b.jpg
Anyone here has this problem too?
Thanks.

I found out something important. Having the Titles rendered with the Mercury Playback Engine ON causes the problem. Turning it OFF and the titles are the same as shown in the Title Window or in PPro CS4. I'm using a Zotac GTX 285.
Anyone here has the same problem?
Thanks.

PPro CS5 will not open now that 5.5 is installed and I need it (Mac)

I installed premiere pro 5.5 and now the previous version 5.0.4 will not open on my Mac.
What I really need is the title templates and title font style presets I created in the CS5 version, but I can't find the location to import those. They don't appear to be in /Adobe Premiere Pro CS5/Presets/Templates or /Styles, just the standard ones.
Where are the user created styles and templates (ones that get customized in premiere not photoshop or anything like that)?
Why can't I open ppro cs5 anymore?

I'm not sure how it works on a Mac, but on Windows, styles are saved to a file called "workingset.prsl" unless you specifically create a new style library. You could try searching for that file, and then copy it into the similar path for CS5.5.

Keeping 5.1 audio from PPro CS5 to AE CS5 via dynamic link?

Hi,
I have a project edited in PPro CS5 with 5.1 audio which is showing and working correctly.
However when I use dynamic link to open up PPro sequence in AE CS5 to do my online editing it seems to be importing it as 2 CH Stereo. So when I use Adobe Media Encoder CS5 to render out final online/edited video from AE i can only get it to wok with audio settings set to Stereo.
If I try to select 5.1, this is the error I get...
- Source File: K:\Video Projects\Laurel Creek\Laurel Creek.aep
- Output File: K:\Video Projects\Laurel Creek\Laurel Creek_FinalConcept5_h.mp4
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: NTSC, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, Progressive
- Audio: AAC, 384 kbps, 48 kHz, 5.1 Channels
- Bitrate: CBR, 26.00 Mbps
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
27/03/2012 2:34:32 PM : Encoding Failed
The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist.
Any ideas how to get AE to see the source 5.1 audio which is originally in PPro sequence so Media Encoder will render out a 5.1 file?
If I change my above custom preset to 2 CH Stereo, the render works, no errors, and video/audio plays fine (which makes sense as AE file is 2 Ch Stereo). But I am looking to keep the source 5.1 audio that my camera records in.
Thanks.

Yup, I've got a new lossless recommendation: Quicktime's PNG codec. It's 10-bit, supports alpha channels, and generally has smaller file sizes than Animation.
If you also have FCP 7 on your machine, you could also give ProRes 422 a whirl. Good codec. Not lossless, but you have to re-render something six times over before you see any kind of image degradation... and for the file size, that's approaching the realm of the magical.

Partial footage/black screen when replacing footage in PPro CS5

Let's see if I can get all the relevant info down here.
Started off with a project in PPro CS5; using two source files (one an MP4 from a Flip cam - not the footage I am having an issue with) the other a direct-stream feed from a 3D application, converted to Lagarith. Both were dragged into the timeline and manually synced so the footage matches up - the MP4 is overlayed over the direct-stream in the corner of the frame, scaled down.
I have been using the razor tool to cut both sequences into short clips at the same time in the timeline to maintain identical in/out points. The Lagarith-encoded stream is lower resolution than I would prefer, so due to some other additional factors I have taken the stream and scaled it up from the original 640x360 to 1280x720 using a neat app called "Video Enchancer".
Now, here comes the issue; I have been editing with the 360p footage, and would now like to replace it with the 720p footage (basically proxy editing). "Replace Footage" function to the rescue, right? Apparently wrong.
Once I replace the footage, most of the timeline gets diagonal stripes across the cut clips, as well as a black screen in the program monitor for preview - indicating that the footage is still missing (though no red "media offline" image). Oddly enough, of the three 360p original files I used to edit with, the first replaced perfectly fine, the second replaced fine up until a certain point, and the third didn't work at all.
The oddest thing of all, however, is that I can view the replaced footage in the source monitor without any issues, and PPro reports no issues with either the video or the audio stream (audio is uncompressed PCM WAV). I can even drag the replaced footage (now 720p) into the timeline, and watch it in the program monitor.
The scaled-up 720p footage is of the exact same length as the original 360p footage; down to the frame count. Both are using Lagarith - yet for some reason, replacing the 360p footage with my scaled 720p footage doesn't seem to work correctly. Even selecting "reveal in project" over one of the cut clips that shows no video/audio points me to the correct source file!
What's going on here?
If there is any additional info you would need or like, feel free to ask and I'll provide it. Sorry for the long post.

I'm editing my reply, and going to post a new thread, as I figured out at least what the issue is: PPro is not detecting the correct duration of my footage.

Premiere Pro CS5 playback HD keeps stopping

Hi,
A newbie here,
Just putting together an HD edit (1920 x 1080) with an imported TGA sequence and quicktimes and when ever I try and play them on the timeline it plays for about 10frms - 3secs and then stops. I've seen several threads with similar issues but nothing seems to resolve it.
This is my set up:
Processor: Intel(R) Core i7 CPU 880 @ 3.07GHz
RAM: 16Gb
OS: W7 64-bit
Runing PPro CS5 as administrator
Video playback and rendering using Mercury Playback GPU
Preferences (memory): Memory
Video card: Blackmagic Decklink HD 3D Extreme
Any ideas, suggestion, thoughts would be most welcome!
Cheers

Hi Todd,
Some different results happening now, I've noticed that in the Playback Settings for Blackmagic that if I check "Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning" the video plays continously but lags behind or plays slowly compared to the audio?
Any ideas please!!?
Cheers
Dave

PPro CS5 Crash Course for Non-Linear Editors

Backstory: I was asked this morning to teach a crash course in Premiere CS5 for the students in the film program at my school in the Introduction to Editing class who have been using FCP. They have to edit several projects using RED footage, and rather than spend a huge amount of time transcoding it to a format which FCP can work with, the prof has just decided to have his students use PPro CS5 (which is also on their editing computers). Since the prof doesn't use PPro, he's asked me to teach the class for him.
I created a very brief crash course powerpoint to assist me in giving them the fundamentals of the program, and supply them with a resource to refer back to as they work on their projects after class is over tomorrow morning. I created this for students who already have done some editing in an NLE, and so don't need to be taught WHAT everything is and HOW to cut footage and put together a timeline. This is just to introduce editors to PPro CS5 who are not already familiar with the PPro workflow.
Anyway, I wondered if some of you gurus would want to take a look at it and give me your feedback on what I've covered well, what I might have missed, and any other thoughts y'all had.
You can view a PDF of the document at www.bryan.edu/pprocs5 The viewer will bring it up embedded in the page at about 40-50%, so you'd be best off to click the download link and open it in Acrobat where you can go full size with it.

Thanks for the input!
I actually taught hem REDCINE-X last week so that they could use it to export their files to an intermediate codec that FCP would understand, and preserve the new colorspace. Unfortunately these computers are so slow that the export process was gonna take nearly a week for all the files they need to work with, so the prof opted to swtich over to PPro midstream since it can handle the raw 4k and supports the new colorspace.
I didn't mention the saving thing... forgot about it; but the conforming issue did come up and we were able to talk about that in class!
The class went okay, I guess... I don't know what it is about students these days, but most of them (like all but one) weren't really paying very good attention and they were just sorta goofing off, talking amongst themselves, etc... made it really frustrating to teach this platform!
Oh well.

PPro CS5.5 freezes -- what's going on?

I'm an experienced video editor, but new to Premiere Pro. Running on an iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8. My first project is a pretty simple one -- only one long captured clip plus a few still photos overlayed in Video track 2.
I'm playing the sequence timeline, and about 4 minutes from the beginning playback just stops. Sometimes, Ppro just hangs completely -- no response to mouse clicks in the app or the menu bar, space bar, etc. Sometimes, though, I can select menu items, move the current time indicator, switch tabs and activate different windows within PPro, but nothing I've done restarts playback.
In the menu, I selected Quit. PPro closed all of the open windows, and then it hung before it completed the Quit operation. I got rid of it with a Force Quit.
This freezing behavior has occurred several times while I've been working on this project, and I'm only about 4 minutes into the timeline. At this rate, I'll never finish the project.
As a "newbie" to PPro, I would appreciate any explanation of what's going on, and all suggestions about how to avoid this "freezing" behavior.
Thanks,
FastBIll

Thanks for the suggestions, John.
In PPro, my timeline contains two clips on Video 1:
1. Teaser, about 11 seconds long
2. Show, just under 1 hour long
These were both captured from a miniDV tape as a DV/DVCPRO NTSC .mov file. Frame rate, 29.97 fps. Dimensions, 720x480.
At about 4:12 into the timeline, to cover a shooting flaw I inserted a JPG photo on Video 2. Dimensions, 720x534. I added a cross-fade transition to the beginning and the end of this photo.
Yesterday, I noticed the red "unrendered" line above the photo, so I rendered that portion of the timeline. Now there's a green line above this photo.
I moved the current time indicator to the left of the photo and pressed the spacebar. The movie began to play. The cross-fades and photo looked perfect. A few seconds after the end of the photo, PPro just froze. Moving the CTI does not change the frame in the Program window; it's frozen at the frame where playback stopped.
I'm running PPro CS5.5 on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The entire PPro project is on an external Firewire 800 drive, which is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Thanks again,
FastBill

I am trying to update Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and I keep getting "There was an error downloading this update. Please quite and try again later." I have tried again and this keeps coming up?

I am trying to update Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and I keep getting "There was an error downloading this update. Please quite and try again later." I have tried again and this keeps coming up?

Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered this question a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

Tests with Speech-to-Text transcription in PPro CS5

As a follow up to my earlier thread about the apparently reworked or, at least, enhanced speech transcription capability in PPro CS5, I just conducted a few tests to see if it is indeed any better than what we had come to expect of it from CS4. The results are, well, encouraging...
QUICK BACKGROUND: I have an approximately two-minute long voiceover, verbatim from a script, professionally recorded, that was originally delivered to me as a 192kbps, 44.1kHz MP3. Since transcription won't work on MPEG assets (at least, not in the trial which is what I'm using--the files import, but the transcription "analyze" button is grayed out), I used Soundbooth to convert it to a 48kHz, 32-bit floating point WAV. I created a couple of copies, so that each one would have its own transcription metadata. I always used the High quality (slower) option.
I ran the test four times, as follows:
Just the WAV, without a reference script
The WAV with a verbatim reference script as a text document (.txt), with "Script Text Matches Recorded Dialogue" option checked
The WAV with a verbatim reference script as an Adobe Story script document (.astx), with "Script Text Matches Recorded Dialogue" option checked
The original MP3 in Soundbooth CS4
I've linked to a text document with the results of these tests (no editing), along with the original text from the script, if you're interested in seeing how they stack up: right-click and save as.
As one would imagine, #1 (no script) was... not perfect. However, I think it did a decent enough job for most purposes. Granted, this was a professionally-recorded voiceover, with not competing background noise, but it was still marginally useful. What's funny to note is that the transcription process seems to trip up every now and again and then it seems to lose its momentum for awhile. It'll bobble a "difficult" word, and then for half-a-dozen words following, it's all over the place. Once it regains its footing, though, it'll be pretty much spot on for a sentence or so. Unfortunately, this repeats, but again I think you could make use of it.
For #2, the transcription was LEAGUES better... but still not perfect. That part is bewildering to me. The transcription generated a couple weird passages--for example "Enjoy" became "and Gillian"--which I could understand if there was NO reference script. However, my impression of how the reference script should work--particularly if the "Script Text Matches Recorded Dialogue" option is activated--is that the transcription should basically copy and paste the reference script into the metadata, NOT invent words and phrases that don't exist in either the script or the dialogue/speech. This process actually preserved capitalization (though punctuation was discarded), so that means it is definitely using that reference script; there is no way to discern capitalization from the spoken word.
I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could eliminate the anomalies by using Adobe's own script format, generated by the new Adobe Story--hence test #3. I copied and pasted the text into a new Story script, downloaded the ASTX file, and used that as a reference script as above. Unfortunately, it fared no better than the text document (I suppose this makes sense, but I was hoping...), but it was still about 98+% accurate. I'm reasonably satisfied.
For giggles, I tried test #4, where I used Soundbooth CS4 to transcribe the original MP3 file. Since CS4 doesn't have the reference script capability, this would more or less pit the transcription engine in CS4 against that in CS5. As expected, it turn the dialogue into textual chop suey, BUT... it actually did BETTER than CS5 sans reference script did on some phrases! Observe:
Original script: Our Club is YOUR CLUB.
CS5, no script: our love is your laugh
CS4, no script: our club is your class
Mish-mash that only Mad Libs could love! For the record, the tests that used the reference scripts were spot-on, capitalization included.
So, I'm feeling better about using this for the massive documentary and archival project I'm about to embark upon. I have human-typed transcripts for most of the interviews in this project--over 100 interviews, constituting some 200-plus hours--and keeping that text with the footage is going to be a great thing. There are some flaky things--I wish the punctuation could be preserved--but all in all, the reference script addition seems to make this feature much more plausible in a working production environment.

Did you link the Adobe story script through OnLocation? For some reason this is required (to my knowledge) to do an exact match.
When you import an adobe story script into OnLocation; it creates a shot list that is linked to the script. You then either shoot footage ot fill the shot list; OR link existing assetts to the shot list. This creates the linkage between the adobe story script and the shot list.
If you just add itin premire; I think it is the same as just linking a text file. But if you have ONE assett to ONE script; perhaps you will get the same results anyway. In Onlocation you can link multiple assets to one script.
Then all this metadata come in to Pr script attached.
Some more details pasted from Help:
Improve speech analysis with Adobe Story, OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere Pro
You can use Adobe Story, OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere Pro to create the most accurate speech analysis. Import a script written in Adobe Story into OnLocation. OnLocation produces a list of shot placeholders for each scene. Either record these shots using OnLocation during production, or link the placeholder shots to their respective video files when you import the video files into OnLocation. In either case, OnLocation embeds the text for each shot from the original script into the metadata of the shot.
When you import the clips into Adobe Premiere Pro, it automatically uses the Adobe Story script as a reference script. When Adobe Premiere Pro finds enough matches with the embedded script, Adobe Premiere Pro replaces the analyzed speech text with the embedded script text. Adobe Premiere Pro carries over correct spelling, proper names, and punctuation from the reference script, benefits that standard speech analysis cannot provide.
The closeness of the match between the embedded script text and the recorded dialog determines the accuracy of matched-script text. If 100% accuracy is important, edit and revise the script text first. Ensure that the script matches the recorded dialog before using it as a reference script.

I'm trying to install the Camera Raw plug-in into Photoshop CS5 but it keeps failing

Hi - I'm trying to install Camera Raw plug-in into Photoshop CS5 but it keeps failing - I don't keep any reasons at all. The product is registered - please help!

Which version of Camera Raw? Which camera?
Familiarize yourself with these two tables
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
They tell you which version of Camera Raw is required to support your camera. The also tell you which version of Camera Raw is compatible with your CS5 (up to version 6.7 only).
It may be that the version of Camera Raw you need is not compatible with CS5.
