Pr Pro CS4 pictures with transitions over a background

Hey
I am working on a photo slideshow with a digi juice jump back as a background
The digi juice is on track 1- The pics are on track 2 with transitions (transitions applied only in between pics on track 2- no transitions on track 1)  (pics have motion effects so you can see the background most of the time)
I am just noticing that when I put a transition say spin for example it spins not only the pic but the background behind it (like it's combining track 1 & track 2 when the transition is only applied to track 2)
I've done this before and never noticed it- but is there a way I can tell Pr Pro CS 4 to ignore track 1 and just apply the effects to track 2 (the pics)
Maybe someone has experienced this before?
Thanks
Tony

Above are new pics
Track 1 is red matte with generate- cell pattern video effect on it - but it could be any background even a simple red matte would work- also any background video clip such as digi juice would work to reproduce this glitch
Track 2 contains two pictures (winter to water lillies) and a zoom transition in between (from winter to water lillies)
notice that when both pics are scaled to less than 100% in this case 60% the 2nd picture (water lillies) takes the background from track 1 along for the ride during the transition as demonstarted above
this is a rather disturbing behavior to me- it should ignore track 1 as their is no transition on that track and just zoom from winter to water lillies
Anyone with ideas on how to work around this bug or a fix of some kind?
I tried nesting each individual pic scaled down but this reproduces the same results with much more tedious work involved
Thanks
Tony

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - Problem with the monitor program.

    Hi. I'm not able solving problems with the monitor using PremiereProCS4. When I drag a photo (also only one photo) in the timeline and play it in the monitor program, vision in the monitor program doesn't run:black monitor or a little part of the photo appear... sometimes distort colours. Asus P5QPRO, Intel 9550 and Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1024 DDR3; last gpu driver and directX are installed. Different configuration of stratch disks were tested. Where am I wrong?

    Dear Bill,
    thanks for your answer and your article. I tried with your NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9 and, "magically", no more problem!!! I used the script pocedure in Photoshop CS4 to resize my images. Now, before starting my workflow and hoping not to overuse your patience, I would like to indicate you my equipment and my target: I use a Canon Eos 7D (generally for still images, 90% are vertical, and just some videos) and I use Premiere Pro CS4 to burn a dvd (normal, 4.7 Gb or double side, more than 8 Gb) with a 16.9 lcd tv (I'm Italian); my camera save as .jpg and .raw (but why use heavy .raw files if I've to redute to 720x480?!??).
    So, according to your "everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing theri videos..." and "your video project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR video project in that case", I've a question: which is the best for me?
    And then:
    1 - Premiere Pro CS4 havn't a batch or a script procedure for still image like PS (only for videos)!?!
    2 - Premiere does'nt allow you to import images like 4.181 Kb (a too large dimension file error appears)!
    3 - In the timeline of Premiere, after you dragged images, you can select them and right click to perform "resize to frame size": it seems to run good without problem, but what appen to the photo? Which is it's pixel?
    4 - In the general preferences of Premiere you can to optimize rendering for "memory" or not: which is the best for you?
    5 - I attached file with a screen of something strange in Premiere: dragging an image (the first of the project) in the timeline, the timeline appears distort (you can see the part in the yellow square): then, when I render the project and play in the monitor program, it becames normal.
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - Problems with mpeg2 export file

    Hello!
    I shoud get export a one videofile (mpeg2 D-10, 4:2:2) with 4 audio channels (two stereo track). Audio must be .wav and PCM. The end result shoud be on channel 1 and 2, which has music, effects and narration. Channels 3 and 4, everything else, but without narration. (tv company wants to change narration language).
    The problem is that Premiere Pro cs4 connects two separate stereo tracks  to one stereo track when I export mpeg2 file. Another problem is that Premiere Pro does not accept PCM audio if  I have any multiplexing setting selected. If I select none multiplexing, audio is seperate from the video file.
    I have now about 150 test clips with different settings, nothing works...So, please help me! What shoud I do? Is this possible with Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder? If so, how it can be done?

    I don't believe the end result is possible with Premiere Pro alone. You'll have to export out am .m2v file, and two separate .wav files.  Then look to other tools to mux them together.

  • Problem with Transition Over Nested Freeze

    In a nutshell:
    My normally co-operative FCP (5.1.4, OS 10.4.10) can't seem to cope with one particular transition, in which a wipe effect overlaps with the start of a nested freeze frame. I seem to be able to do this with no problem anywhere else (even elsewhere on the same Timeline), but it's feeling like this one spot is jinxed!
    The gory details:
    I have a short sequence that begins with 3-4 similar shots, each of which end in a freeze frame, followed by a 2-second "Clock Wipe" transition to the next shot.
    In one particular case (let's call it going from Shot A to Shot B), the Wipe needs to begin several frames BEFORE the start of the freeze. So in that case I've taken the shot + the freeze and nested them, making sure that the nested clip has ample handles. So far, so good.
    But every time I then try to apply the transition, I get the not very informative error message: "Not Found." When I click OK (the only option available), the Canvas suddenly goes red, and displays the message: "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
    But if I do close the window, both the Canvas and Timeline disappear and can't be reopened -- they're each greyed out under the "Window" menu, and Cmd-2 and Cmd-3 do nothing. If I close the sequence tab and then try to re-open the sequence, nothing happens.
    Meanwhile, if I don't close any windows, and just move the playhead somewhere else on the Timeline, the red Canvas seems to go back to normal. But if I then try to play that Timeline (no matter where the playhead is cued), I keep getting the same "Not Found" error message. If I Undo to before the point where I applied the transition, I STILL get the "Not Found" error!
    In fact, once that "Not Found" error message appears, the ONLY way I've found to get access to that particular Timeline again is by doing a Revert Project. (Other sequences continue to work fine; it's just this one which can suddenly no longer be found.)
    For anyone still interested, here's the troubleshooting I've tried:
    - Doing the same procedure on another transition in the same Timeline -- works fine (even when applied to the very next transition -- the Shot B to Shot C one -- in the Timeline).
    - Applying a transition that's shorter, and therefore doesn't overlap with the freeze "embedded" in the nested clip. This seems okay, but as soon as I then try to make the transition longer, so that it begins before the start of the nested freeze, it's the "Not Found" message again, and another Revert Project.
    - Tried re-creating the nest: nothing. Tried re-creating the freeze frame, then re-creating the nest: still no change. Tried recreating the freeze on a different frame: no difference.
    - Tried applying different wipes to the trouble spot -- but with the same result: if the wipe was short enough not to overlap with the freeze that's inside the nested clip, no problem; if the wipe is long enough that it starts before the nested freeze, it's another "Not Found" message and another Revert Project -- but ONLY for this one transition.
    - Tried applying the wipe different ways (straight from the Browser; Option-dragging a copy of the transition from elsewhere on the Timeline; even making it a Favorite and applying it from the Effects menu).
    - Tried copying all the clips from the sequence over into the empty Timeline of a fresh new sequence: no difference.
    - Tried deleting the master shot altogether, and bringing in a new copy of the clip from the Browser: no difference.
    - Tried deleting all the render files associated with this one sequence, the re-importing the clip from the Browser and re-creating the Freeze then the nest yet again: still no difference.
    - Tried replacing the shot with a different clip of a different take altogether -- same thing!!!
    - Made sure disk permissions were repaired, and even did a complete rebuild of the directory of the disk which has my FCP master project files plus the app itself (using Disk Warrior).
    At this stage, ANY suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    How are you making the freeze frame? Shift n? Saving as subclip?
    Shift-n.
    Does the freeze frame have ample handles, or just the clip?
    Handles galore.
    Is there a reason that the sequence needs to be nested? How does it work if you put the clips directly into your main timeline?
    It's not the sequence itself that's being nested, just a given shot together with its freeze frame. And that was so I could then begin the transition effect to the next shot BEFORE the start of the freeze frame. If the clip plus its freeze remain unnested on the Timeline, FCP treats the freeze as a separate clip, and won't let me stretch the start of the transition (to the next actual shot) past -- i.e. to the left of -- the start of the freeze.
    But if the freeze and the shot which leads into it have been nested, then FCP should treat that nest as a single clip, and let me extend the transition effect I apply to it as far back into that nested clip as I want. At least that's the theory -- and it's worked for me at other times. Why it isn't working in this one case is what's driving me bonkers!
    Anyway, thanks for the note.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Unusable With Hardware RAID 0

    Greetings, This is a mysterious problem I seem to be having, let me tell my tale...
    I was using a software RAID0 while editing with Premiere.  Even using HD clips, it was very fast! The RAID was only to serve up the footage. Scratch disk and OS disks are on separate drives.
    We then upgraded to a Hardware RAID card (3ware) and migrated the data from the old to new drives, everything going fine. Finally get around to opening permiere and the project used to take 2 minutes or so to open, now takes an excruiciating 10-15 minutes!  Plus the timeline that I was able to scrub through at a decent speed is basically unusable.  I cannot play clips in the timeline either unless I render the preview, where on the software RAID I could play unrendered timelines with no stutters.
    Went back to the software raid just to check, and it performed just as fast as before.
    Of course I assumed it was a hardware issue. So I contacted 3Ware support and basically they were stumped.  Then I moved onto running a whole slew of tests from HDtune on the RAID array. I was getting around 290MBps and very nice random I/O speeds, write speeds were great too.  Weird. I could also open up any of my source clips in Quicktime and they would play perfect, and i could seek anywhere in the clip with no hesitation.
    Still not satisified, I opened up about 250 clips in Avid MC5, (using AMA linking to make sure it's not some kind of codec thing) and made a lot of short cuts in the timeline.  And lo and behold, it is playing like it is a rendered clip, and I can scrub through the timeline perfectly.
    This weird HDD activity was then confirmed using a disk monitor. Take a look at the graph:  http://www.bubble-engine.com/HDtune.jpg
    The low evenly space out bars are activity from using Premiere Pro, when the timeline is unusable. The big solid areas are me using Avid. You can see for some mysterious reason that Premiere isn't accessing the drive properly. But again, on the software RAID Premiere behaves properly.....
    Any Ideas?? This is one of the weirdest tech support things I've ever encountered...

    when I click the record button, the screen goes to a blue screen with Playing on video hardware
    This is normal for HDV.
    How do I also get the Scene Detect to work?
    With HDV?
    Upgrade to CS5.

  • Premier Pro CS4: working with an Adobe Photoshop file

    I'm trying to work with an Adobe Photoshop file, it has many
    layers and I imported it as one and switched it to RGB.  However, the rendering time for the file is flabbergasting:
    it's a 5 second opening with light effects and it takes about 30 minutes to render.  Is there something wrong that I did when exporting it or is this
    just the "name of the game"-I have applied several light effects to it but have done so to other file in the past and rendering time has not been nearly this long.  Many Thanks in
    advance.
    Tim S.

    Hello All,
    Thank you everyone for the responses; I think it was:
    My Sequence settings were for a 720 project but the Photoshop file well exceeded that-kind of simple but I don't use Photoshop often enough. I changed the pixel settings, Thank You Bill, of the Photoshop file and it seems to have done the trick.  I was baffled because even a very low res JPEG was giving me trouble.
    Many Thanks,
    Tim S.

  • Transparency issues with images over color backgrounds

    I have a transparent .png that I place over a color background. When I do this, there's a slight discoloration in the image's transparent background. As a result, it looks the image really isn't transparent, but has a slight white background. I can't seem to get rid of this and have tried for days. Can anyone help me out here?

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Installation Failed - Again!

    Hi all
    We are currently using an old version of Adobe Premiere which I would like to upgrade to the latest version.  I want to show everyone in the company how good the latest version is and get them to pay for an upgrade/full version.
    I then noticed a free trial download for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and thought great idea. Well done Adobe I can now show everyone how good the latest CS4 version is.
    5 days later I still can not get the damn thing to install and work!! :-(
    In a desperate move I even tried it on a new Windows XP Pro SP3 - 3Gb RAM - Quad Core - 1Tb HD etc.. and when I try and install the Premiere windows 1.3Gb trial installation it eventually says at the end of the installation process (which takes for ever) "Installation Failed - One or more required components of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 failed to install correctly." and it shows the following error log:
    Adobe Dynamiclink Support
    Error:
    Error 2.
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4
    Error:

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    Error:

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 LangPack (en_US)
    Error:
    Over the last 5 days I have looked through this forum site and tried every recommendation it suggests to fix the problem including:
    1) Uninstalling / Re-installing serveral times the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 which eventually comes up with the above error.
    2) Turned off all Anti-Virus applications and disabled all running windows applications.
    3) I have also tried the WinCS4Cleanupscript process
    4) Manually deleted and removed the premiere folders
    5) I even rang up adobes technical support line and they said use the forums to solve the problem. Cushy job they have...
    None of the above fix the problem...
    So here I am. Has anyone got any ideas how to make it run up in trial mode ?
    Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated as I suspect im not the only one having this problem.

    Day 8 - OK I have finally fixed the problem.  I got fed up and purchased the full Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 product and it installed and worked 1st time!!!
    I must admit im very annoyed that the Trial version failed but the full product works.  The 2 x Premiere Pro CS4 installation CDs went through the installation process without a hitch and I did not get any installation error messages at all.
    So my no 1 question is why does the online Adobe Premiere CS4 Trial version fail to install but the full product can ?
    For what its worth, here are my final observations from this whole saga:
    1) The first thing I noticed on the Full Product CD Installation is it defaulted to and installed the "en_International" version and not the "en_US" language version. For some reason the online trial version defaulted to "en_US" language and I used this option during the trial installations. Maybe this language option upsets the installation process on my UK PC.
    Now I have it working im not going to risk re-installing it all again. But if your a UK user and you encounter problems during the trial installation process then try selecting the "en_International" language option. You never know.
    2) Another obvious observation is the trial version has numerous features removed and hacked out of it  So did the Adobe engineer get carried away with the hacking process and also remove some important installation code and procedures.
    After several days of trying to get the trial version to work there is obviously a problem with the trial installation process and it needs looking at.  I must of installed and reinstalled it 15+ times and during this time it upset my Dreamweaver CS4 app so forcing me to re-install this application as well.
    Please Adobe just give the online users the option of 2 x CD ISO Images to download and burn onto a CD as this could save other users the same frustrating time I have had and maybe give you more revenue.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 over remote desktop does not play sequence

    Hi all,
    I have been researching this issue over the internet but I have found absolutely no references to it:
    I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my high-resource PC but would like to work from a different room so I am remoting form my laptop to my "good" PC.
    The system lets me do everything I could normally do when working directly on the main PC with the exception of playing back my edited files (before rendering). This is an obvious handicap since I can not watch my edited sequence and am, therefore, working in the blind. I am able to step through it frame by frame, but when I click the play button, it changes to a pause symbol (as usual) but nothing is shown in the video window. This does not just happen when previewing my edited sequence but also when previewing any imported resource.
    Essentially, Premiere Pro CS4 is not playing any video content over a Remote Desktop.
    Other normal playback software (such as VLC, Windows Media Player etc...) works though, so it is not an issue of no video playback at all. This just happens when I'm using Premiere Pro.
    Any suggestions as to what this may be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to edit a full 1080p HD video in Premiere Pro CS5 remotely using HPs RGS (Remote Graphics Software).  I had a Workstation at work with Premiere Pro installed on it and all the source footage on it.  I was then able to log on remotely from home with my old weak-sauce desktop and successfully edit and play back the HD footage remotely.  You just do a google search for HP RGS or go to this link. http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
    There is a free trial available too. I don't know why there is not more information about RGS on the web, but it seems to me to be the only solution to work on Premiere or After Effects remotely.
    I hope this helps
