PRE 12 - Problem editing DSLR footage.

I have only recently purchased a new Canon Rebel T3i and chose to buy Premiere Elements as my video editor. This is my first venture into video editing and therefore I'm quiet new to everything. Upon imorting my footage into Premiere Elements (which is in the .MOV format) no orange line will appear over the video. The playback is then incredibly choppy and laggy and impossible to edit. The video recording size is 1920x1080 with 25fps. I have attempted converting the video to numerous different video formats but the problem continues to persist.
I am currently using an Acer Aspire 2920 with a 2.2GHz Intel Celeron processor. It is a 32 bit operating system running on Windows 7 Ultimate with 2.00 GB RAM.
I would be incredibly grateful if someone could tell me where the problem lies as it has been like this for over a week now and is driving me completely insane!
Thank you.

    what is the best macbook pro for video editing dslr footage?

    It is the GPU that is important.  All the CPU's will be fast enough.  If you can affords it, the 15" with the NVIDIA GPU is the best.

  • Problems with DSLR Footage in CS 5.5

    I am using Premiere CS 5.5.  I have no trouble editing AVCHD footage, but a new client is giving me footage shot with various DSLR cameras and this is causing me problems.
    First, my specs.
    Windows 7
    i7-2600 processor
    GTX 460 card (1 GB memory, 336 CUDA processors) (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is on)
    16 GB memory
    Separate SATA 7200 RPM hard drives for programs and data files
    Now, my symptoms.  When I first turn on the computer and open a project, it works fine for a while, though scrubbing on the timeline with any speed causes a bit of choking.  After some period of time, trying to play a clip on the timeline will cause Premiere to display a single frozen frame, even though the sound is still playing correctly.  It doesn't natter where I move the playback line, I will see this frame frozen on my screen until I turn off the computer.  Rebooting the computer and opening the project is not sufficient to un-stick things - it has to be a full shut down.
    Defragging the hard drives does not help.  And the problem happens even if there are no effects on the clips.
    Question: which would be a more likely solution for this problem: upgrading the GTX card or investing in a USB 3.0 Raid 0 drive?  Or is there a better solution that I am overlooking?

  • CS4 PROBLEM EDITING DV FOOTAGE!

    I have just built a new system thinking it would be the one to get  hd/sd  editing done with no problem. When I export the footage into the  project dv widescreen at 29.97 fp everything works fine. Once i put the  footage on the time line and play the footage on the screens it goes  from sharp to blurry/pixelated. If i scroll the mouse through the  footage looks fine. I was not able to test out hd footage yet. I need to  be able to work on sd as well. So if someone could help or at least  guide me to what others have done with their systems would be  appreciated!!!
    P.S. I hope i dont have to switch to MAC
    Here is my system:

  • Problems with dSLR footage - help/experience needed

    Hi All --
    I'm running Premiere Pro CS5 on 3 different towers at my small studio. We switched to Premiere for the native H.264 support last month and have been experiencing numerous crashes, poor exports etc on several recent projects. Our machines are high powered  (32GB RAM 3,1 and 4,1 Mac Pro Stations with GTX-285 or GForce GT-120) and I don't know if the issue is with the way that we are setting up projects, managing our caches/scratch files [set on local RAID 0]  OR if the complex video shorts we are working on (Up to 6 video layers at a time duting a 3 minute short) are the cause behind the projects to not open on one machine and crash regularly on the others.
    Am I just expecting too much from the native H.264 support in CS5? Yes I can edit one or two video tracks without any problems, but the split screens and moving layers that we frequently do might be too much for Premiere? Would I be better off transcoding to a different codec?
    At this point I've turned off the Accelerated GPU rendering (regularly crashing) but am still experience frequent iussues and having to restart. I don't fully understand how CS5 works compared to FCP so its difficult for me to troubleshoot.
    Is anybody else having these issues? Any fixes? Insight?
    Many thanks for your help!

  • Should I use premiere elements for editing 24p DSLR footage?

    Have been shooting with a t4i in 24p and am doing some small business videos - I need some advice on whether I should use premiere elements to edit this footage.  Also need to be able drawing lines, add arrows and animate them etc.  Is this beyond premiere?  Have been using elements for about 5 years on and off, maybe time to step it up?

    fishmor
    I do not see why not.
    It is getting late where I am so I will leave you with some things to consider -
    This is what I have found ouy about 24p mentions in Premiere Elements that seem to have no function...
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: 24p Conversion Methods, Pulldowns, and Related Interpret Footage
    Probably more than you want to know but.....
    As for ability to draw lines, add arrows, and animate them, etc. See program's Titler and its Text Styles Animations Shape sections.
    The Premiere Elements Titler offers more opportunities than just text titles. But, sometimes you may want to create a graphic in Photoshop Elements and import it into Premiere Elements. Keep in mind that Premiere Pro is not a photo editor either. Some things that I have done in Premiere Elements in the way of animation....

  • Premiere Pro CS3 DSLR footage problems

    Hi guys, hoping to get some help regarding adobe premiere pro CS3.  I am trying to import and compress some DSLR footage which I have captured on a Canon 5D mark 2 camera.  However if i drag more than 3 or sometimes 5 minutes of footage on to the timeline the program crashes. Also sometimes my compressed footage has red screens in the playback some lasting a 3 to 4 seconds at start of clip and some a split second.  Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.

    CS3 is not capable of handling dslr footage.
    You need to convert.
    Might want to look at Neoscene or mpegstreamclip.

  • HELP Loss of quality when rendering DSLR footage.HELP PLZ

         Hello, I am editing with premiere cs6 and I am importing 1080p hd dslr footage(usually 29fps) from my canon rebel t3i. NOW, i do all of my editing and color correcting and after I render the effects in the work area I see that the footage worse than it was before i rendered..(left image before right image after) I have been having this problem for a long time and i really need help and cannot find any answers.. When I upload any footage to youtube (even if I don't render work area) the quality is AWFUL at 360p(default playback) compared to other canon rebels. I have tried MANY different export settings, import settings, render modes, settings, etc etc etc. If anyone could help I would be so thankful. Thanks in advance!!!
    Enjoy the creepy images.
           BEFORE RENDER                                                                                        AFTER RENDER (Looks worse on my comp, these imagaes are snipped)

    It is very possible for things to be set up in PP such that the previews are of lesser quality.  Most often you don't want to use those for export anyway, so I was ignoring that aspect of the issue.
    If the 1080p export looks good on yoru computer, and it's only the lesser resolutions on YouTube that look bad, then you will have to get in touch with YT about that.

  • Old problem with HD footage, Considering upgrade

    Hi all,
    I've been here with this question since day one with my rig (2.5 years+).
    I'm not able to edit HD footage properly, the editing process is super slow, I can't seem to preview the footage because it just lags.
    The footage is from numerous cameras each movie, DSLR, GoPro, MTS, etc.
    I work 90% of the time with only one stream of video.
    My current setup is as follows:
    i7 2600k 3.4 (no OC), p8z68 v pro MOBO, 16gb ram (4x4GB G.Skill RipJaw X Edition Dual Channel CL7-8-7-24)
    GTX 560 Ti
    500gb black caviar sata 3 for os
    2*1tb black caviar sata 3 raid for Project & Media
    2*1tb black caviar sata 3 raid for Scartch,Renders,Etc.
    2tb green caviar for backups.
    *using the onboard raid controller.
    My workflow is really tedious, I'm working with proxy files to overcome the slow editing problem;
    1. Getting the hd clips from the client
    2. encoding the files to low res avi/mpeg
    3. editing
    4. link media to HD footage (Manually - aprox 30-40 mins)
    5. check for any errors
    6. review the film - very slow because of the HD
    7. export
    So.. any movie, takes forever.
    A lot of people tried to help with my current hardware, but I couldn't find one single solution to the problem.
    So, I want your advice, should I upgrade my rig? because if I know for a fact, that upgrading it in a small budget will get the things smooth, It will be worth while in the short term.
    If you recommend upgrading, what should I go for? what can I keep ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Eliran.

    Biran, welcome to the forums
    Because of your GoPro and DSLR media without any overclocking you really need much more CPU power.  At least a hex-core.  But the first thing you have to do is read Harm's encyclopedia on building an editing computer for Premiere Pro on our web site, especially his Tweakers Pages.  Look especially at this graphic to see why you need that CPU upgrade.
    Notice that GoPro and DSLR QT are both extremely CPU intensive.  Initially you could just start out with a new motherboard, CPU and CPU cooler; and possibly reuse your RAM, GPU and disk drives.  We would have know more about your case and power supply.  The next (later) upgrade would be in the disk drive area.

  • DSLR footage no longer recognized? Adobe Premiere Pro 8.2.0, OSX 10.10.2

    A few months ago I upgraded my mac to Yosemite, and around the same time updated Premiere.
    Premiere CC 2014 Now has major issues with DSLR footage.
    First, I was able to get some DSLR footage in, but whenever I scrubbed through it in the timeline or source monitor the image would freeze, then the software would lock up.
    The footage worked fine on a PC running the latest version of Premiere, and there was nothing unusual about this footage - .MOV, .h263, same type of material I usually work with,
    I tried opening several other projects (mainly non-DSLR footage, but .MOVs exported from other sources) and CC 2014 works fine with that, so I think it's just something specific to that footage.
    TODAY I try bringing some different DSLR footage in to Premiere CS 2014 and it won't even turn up in Media Browser. I try to drag the .MOV file in, and I get an error that the file isn't recognized. I tried dragging one of the files to my internal drive, same problem.
    I still have 7.2.2 installed (last full release of Adobe CC before it was relabeled 2014). That takes the footage fine in Media Browser, and scrubs through it like I'd expect.
    What's going on? Is it Yosemite? Is it Premiere 8.2.0? Did Adobe suddenly drop native support for DSLR files and now expect us to transcode everything??
    Please help.
    -Brian

    Yes, I am not sure why Vinay's response was a PM. Agreed it would have been helpful to post publicly.  All I did was uninstall Premiere Pro CC 2014, clicked yes for the option to remove preferences also, then immediately re-install.
    Here is Vinay's message:
    Hi Brian,
    We have noticed this issue recently on 10.10.2 and we are trying to find the possible cause and as per my information this issue might arise due to licensing issues. So, might be in the OS upgrade process the licensing files are corrupted but right now I cannot comment on it. Please follow the step of Clean un-installation of Adobe products and the re-install them again.
    Please uninstall all the Adobe applications manually from Applications folder one by one. Once done go to below locations and delete the specific files.
    ~ Files / Folders ~ Click on Go menu in finder and select Go to Folders option to type these location and click go to Navigate

  • Editing iPhone footage in final cut pro

    So my sister got baptized and I'm trying to put together a hightlight of this awesome event. I did not have my video camera on me, but I did have my iPhone. I shot a 3 minute video and then brought it into FCP without any issues. It plays perfectly in the timeline, or so I thought. I'm letting the timeline adjust itself automatically to format to the iPhone video settings. 640x480, H.264 encoding. I have to render but that's only because the audio.
    The issue I'm having is with the transitions from video to still pictures I imported from another camera. I'm adding a simple "fade in / fade out" and it's doing crazy things to my work flow. The video now jumps or lags and will not play smooth. Also when I transition into a picture from video it flickers real bad. I've tried everything and can't get it to work. Last night I started using iMovie and that was terrible. I need some help on workflow here. I should be able to go in and out of video and pictures without any problems. My exported video even jumps so I know there is something wrong. I tried just putting two iphone video clips back to back and there was lag there as well. I edit HD footage all the time and have a loaded system. So I know it's not hard ware...
    PLEASE HELP!
    MacBook Pro 2.4 15" 4 gig RAM   Mac OS X (10.5.7)    

    Convert the video in Compressor or the QT Pro player to motionjpeg or some other editing format.
    Use that instead.
    Remember that the original footage is heavily compressed and using a transcode won't improve the footage, just the edit.

  • Exporting R3D and Dslr footage, getting flicker/strobing on export. What is going on?

    Has anyone experienced a flicker or strobing like bug when working with R3D footage?
    I am currently using an ultra key effect for the green screen keying, the DSLR footage is fine no flicker or strobing, also applied ultra key effect to DSLR.
    I am not sure what the problem is, my next steps would be either to check if AE green screen keying or transcoding the R3D footage to Pro-Res 1080p.
    Hope people can help me out. Have a deadline and would love to figure this out before another night of exporting.

    I nested the sequence and that worked.
    Is it possible that my cheap dell monitors are not good enough to display video off my new Mac Pro?
    If so any recommendation for monitors.
    Thank you

  • Premiere Pro CS5 playback stops with Canon DSLR footage

    I am using Canon DSLR footage (5D and 1D). When I import the footage for the first time everything works OK. If I save, close and reopen the project without doing anyother activity on my PC everything continues to work OK.
    My problem is that after I close the project and start doing other activity on the PC e.g. using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash etc and not necessarily all of them, and then reopen Premiere Pro I then start to get a problem with playback stopping on the timeline after about 5-10 seconds.
    What I have found is that if I import a fresh Canon DSLR file from the camera then everything starts working fine again until I start using other programs.
    There must be something on my PC that is causing a conflict but I can't work out what it is.
    Are there any known issues that might help me solve this problem.
    My PC is running Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. I have two x 2.66Ghz quad core processors (NOT hyperthreading), 12 GB RAM, Nvidia FX 4800 graphics card.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have finally resolved this problem and it is several weeks since the "fix" with no repeat of the problem.
    I uninstalled Nero from my system and straight away the problem resolved.
    I noticed that prior to removing Nero that it was taking priority over Quicktime which, I think, was causing the conflict with codec for the Canon DSLR files in Premier.
    It has now been 4 weeks since I removed Nero and there has been no sign of the problem of the video footage stopping in playback on the timeline.
