Premier Pro 5.5 - Avid DNxHD file

Using PC with 24 GB ram.
I have been searching the forum, but I still don't find a solution to using Avid DNxHD files from Black Magic Design Hyperdeck Studio. I have downloaded the suggested codecs. I can play the file in QT player on my PC, but not in Premeir Pro 5.5. I get the message "unsupported or damaged file. Any hints or solutions?

Still no joy. I loaded Beta 2 earlier and got the same results. Download from the latest and got the same result…my editing computer with PPro 5.5 would not accept the file. I am wondering if the problem might be in how I loaded the Avid codec to my editing computer. Is there a certain place I should open the codec exe. File? Although the install wizard from Avid did not give me a choice. Here is what I have done so far:
·         Downloaded BMD 2.5 to the computer I use in the field…(HP EliteBook)
·         Downloaded the avid codec to the HP Elite Book
·         When I have captured the file from the BMD Hyperdeck Studio,
·         I use a Thermaltake USB 3.0 BlackX Dock to transfer the files to a Lacie 2 big USB 3.0 4 TB drive running at 7200 rpm.
·         When I return from the event, I transfer the files from the Lacie to the Editing PC (the Avid codec have been installed on this PC.)
·         The file shows up in QT player but will not load into PPro 5.5.
Thanks in advance for future help and help so far.

Avid DNxHD files with no audio in PP CC playback

I used a Pix 240 to record an EX1r in 23.98 DNxHD 145/1080 to capture some media.
In PP CC, the files playback in the player and record windows, but without audio. The meters move, as if they have audio, but I can't hear it. I've checked the preferences, and everything appears fine.
I can playback R3D clips in both monitors, and I hear audio. It appears to be an AVID DNxHD file issue.
Any ideas on how to rectify this?
Thanks,
Curt

Robodog,
Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure what happened... I had rebooted a few times trying to fix the issue... nothing seemed to work. I'm a PC, Win 7 Pro~64 bit, 64GB of RAM, SR2 Mobo, Nvidia 6000, Red Rocket,
I had checked the mapping, seemed good to go!
I got so frustrated after a few hours of trying to get it to work, I just shut the system down and went to bed. I booted this morning and everything just worked. No idea what happened there.
I do appreciate your efforts! Thanks!

Cannot import .fcpxml from Final Cut Pro X to Premier Pro 6 ...'file format not supported'?

I've exported a project from FCPX into a .fcpxml. Upon trying to import it in Premier Pro 6, an error appears 'file format not supported'. I have searched for possible solutions, but everything I've found is related to FCP 7. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin!
Thanks for your response.
The codec is actually MPEG-2 -- so it's not a ProRes codec.
Other information:
HDV1080i60; 29.97 fps; 48Hz, 1440x1080 resolution
Any ideas for us?
Thanks for responding so quickly ~

Hi Jessica,
That is a stickier case.
You can purchase the Calibrated {Q} plug-in to fill that gap. It might be wise to contact them and see if you can get an educational or volume discount.
The no-cost solution is a bit more labor intensive: transcode the footage to a friendlier codec prior via the FCP Media Manager prior to the students leaving the program.

Logic pro mix of avid omf files

i am researching if i can do a logic pro (or soundtrack) mix based on avid omf files, then re-import the mix files back into avid...
would using aiff files make this any easier?
thanks

Hi,
I did this last year and Logic Pro can import OMF files, but as mentioned this can be hit or miss... OMF is notoriously difficult to deal with between certain platforms and versions. I found that FCP's OMF outputs always opened in Logic without problems but it was hit or miss with AVID's - strange since it's their format!!
I would do a test to see if you have any import problems if you go with this workflow.
I will say that Logic (in it's current version) is not a good program for doing audio post - it's just not in the same league as Pro Tools in terms of simplicity and workflow. I spent a whole year trying to wean myself off of Pro Tools for audio post work, but all I learned from that experience was how much I wanted to back in PT. I really like Logic for music composition - it's better IMHO than PT for this type of work, but is suck for post. You may want to consider a DV toolkit version of PT for this kind of work (DV toolkit has the timecode ruler and OMF tools you will need). It's expensive, but IMHO a much better tool for the job.
As for audio format - use .WAV as it will work with either Mac or PC based AVID systems (PC based AVIDs don't know what an AIFF is). This avoids having to do a separate audio layback and it works like a charm - I never had any sync issues. Hope this helps.

Avid DNxHD file hangs AE CC

I have AE CS6 on my laptop and desktop machine. I also have AE CC on both. When I try to import an AvidDNxHD clip into After Effects CC I get a beach ball. There must be something wrong with the Avid codec, since it works with AE CS6 perfectly. What might be the problem.

What kind of DNxHD clip? QuickTime container using the DNxHD codec? MXF OP1a? MXF Op-Atom?
If it's QuickTime, then don't install any extra components. After Effects CC (12.0) natively imports DNxHD files, and it's possible that some extra QuickTime importer component that you've installed is colliding with what After Effects installed.

Get error message when exiting premier Pro wont save file

I am getting an error message when I exit adobe premier pro it wont save the file and the program locks up. I even uninstalled an reloaded the program CS5.5 vrs. still get the same error can anyone help?

You have not provided any system information or other technical details, so we can't know anything. Either way, ask in the Premiere Pro forum.

I'm (nearly) fed up of trying and trying to download the TRIAL version of the Premier Pro app and it's been impossible so far.

Hi, I'd need someone to contact my by email <Removed by Moderator> so I can download the TRIAL version of the "Premier Pro".
I downloaded the file (PremierPro_8_LS20.7z) which is 971MB large (Aprox), then execute the .exe file so it can be downloaded and then I get an ERROR message saying that this product can only be installed in a system of 64 bits.

Nacho notes please be aware you are posting in a public forum. I have edited your post to remove your personal information.
What version of Premiere Pro are you wishing to evaluate? What operating system are you using? Please be aware that all recent versions of Premiere Pro have required a 64-bit operating system. You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro.

Adobe Premier Pro CS5

When I am finished working on a project using Adobe Premier Pro CS5 I save the file. Then when I go to close out Adobe Premier Pro CS5 I get a message that says " Adobe Premier Pro CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and will notify you if a solution is available." Why is this doing this, and what can I do to fix it?

Altering Premier Pro XML code to Allow for FCPX Import

WIth the recent update to Final Cut Pro X, its recent rich compatibility with XML has led me to believe that I might be able to solve the current predicament I'm in with a Premier Pro CS4 project file. My school uses an internet based storage system known as NetStorage at allows me to save any sort of file necessary to what I'm doing in school. In my Video Production class, we use Adobe Premier Pro CS4 to edit our video. I saved my currently unfinished project to NetStorage with the idea of accessing it at home to finish up using Final Cut Pro X. Downloading the file at home gives me all of the coding associated with theh .prproj file in a .txt format. I know that Premier Pro CS4 uses an XML file format, while Final Cut Pro can ingest an XML Interchange file format. Since CS4 cannot export a project as an XML (I believe this feature was added in CS5), what I need to do is edit the coding of the .prpro file (which by the way is a .txt file as said before) so that I can ingest it as an XML Interchange file in FCPX. Can anyone either forward me to helpful information or even provide it here as to what I specifically need to change in this coding to open it in Final Cut Pro X? I hope I have provided enough information on the issue, but if anything further is needed, just ask. Thanks in advance!

The short answer is that it would be a huge amount of work and many things in your Premiere project wouldn't translate across.
The fact that they are XML-based does not mean they can be easily converted. A more detailed explanation is available here:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/a_quick_note_on_the_final_cut_pro_x_x ml_format.html
But if you want to dive in anyway, here is the (sparse) documentation on the new format:

Why doesn't Premier Pro CS6 accept m2P videos?

I have an m2P video that I can import directly into Premier Pro CS4 with no problem and work on but when I import it into Premier Pro CS6 I get the error:
"There was an error decompressing audio or video"
I've tried changing the extension to mp2 and mpg but the result is the same. I've tried converting the file to mpg with TMPGE, excluding the audio, and the result is still the same. There seems to be something is some header that stops Premier Pro CS6 from accepting this file. Another m2P video I have behaves the same way.
Does anyone know what this might be or how I can find it?
Thanks
Steve

Avid DNxHD Alpha files in Premiere Pro CC?

Has any one else had success using Avid DNxHD Alpha files in Premiere CC? There was a workaround that Adobe gave that made this possible in CS6, but in CC the alpha disapears. Any suggestions?

Just hit upon this problem, I just inherited a whole bunch of DNxHD graphics with compressed alphas. What workflow are u guys using for getting an uncompressed alpha? I don't have access to the original project files just the DNxHD with the compressed alphas, can I use them to get an uncompressed alpha if I rerender the file as dnxhd with an uncompressed alpha in after effects or is that the whole problem?
thx,

Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620 with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
to .mov Prores 422HQ 1080P                         22 Minutes
to .mov H.264 1080P                    22 Minutes
to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100% (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
to .mov Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
to .mov H.264 1080P                                                             14 Minutes
to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
Since I am going to DVD, I chose the fastest option Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

Hi,
Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
long file export.
But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
- clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
- delete all render files with Preview Files,
- rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
- PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
I tested :
- Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
which are not very easy to use.
And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
escalate the bug.

Power PC G5 Unable to Play .MOV File with Avid DNxHD Codec

Our client is sending us .mov Quicktimes with Avid DNxHD Codec.
It wouldn't play on our Macbook Pros, but no problem, I downloaded the codec and it ran fine afterwards.
Not having the same luck with our Power Mac G5 Workstation.
It runs on Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8.
Downloaded the codec for Leopard from this link:
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=263545
Nothing changed.
I play the file and all I see is black as the timeline runs.
How should I fix this issue?

The Power Mac G5 does not have an Intel Processor like the newer macs do. Could that be root of issue?
It is a definite possibility. The link you posted indicated the Mac v2.1 component was compatible with OS 10.5.5 and later which would normally imply QT 7 with or without Intel CPU. However, the editing software applications do seem to restrict their use to "Intel only" Mac systems. For instance, Pro Tools v8.3 and higher are listed as "Intel Only" software. Did try the v2.01 QT codec component or look for anything older?

Adobe Premier Pro CS6 editing system and mov files

We have just installed a new Adobe Premier Pro CS6 editing system with a HP 820Z (running windows 7) 18 core multi drive system. Our production company has used many mov. files from Ponds. We were a FCP 7.0 studio (still have the system) but the mov files won't import to our new CS6 System... Not trying to import from the mac...have them stored on another PC. We depend on this stock footage for production. Do I need to download a converter? I just had to produce two spots with a still background because I could not get any of our stock mov files to work...
Thanks much for any help!

PP does support direct import of Quicktime files that can be played back on the system.
What is the correct error message after import?
Can you playback the files with the Quicktime Player?
For some codecs like DNXHD you have to install the quicktime codec first...

Avid DNxHD into Premiere Pro CS5.5?

Howdy. New to Premiere Pro and trying the demo. Unfortunately I'm having a issues right off the bat.
I'm trying to import Avid DNxHD 36 media from Media Composer 5.5. But I get some issue saying that the codec isn't supported. Am I wrong that DNxHD is supposed to be native in Premiere Pro CS5+?
Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if REDCineX was using FFmpeg under the hood for that! Definitely use FFmbc for such things, however--it's got more functionality built-in for professional media. It's MXF support is waaay better than FFmpeg's.
BTW: The Premiere Pro docs are rather tight-lipped and inconclusive about the whole matter...
From File formats supported for import:
MXF (Media eXchange Format; P2 Movie: Panasonic Op-Atom variant
of MXF, with video in DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra;
XDCAM HD Movie, Sony XDCAM HD 50 (4:2:2), Avid MXF Movie), and native
Canon XF (new in Premiere Pro CS5.5)
From Importing assets from tapeless formats:
Avid capture format
Avid editing systems
capture footage to MXF files, generally into a folder called Avid
Media files, with audio captured into discreet files separate from
the video files. When you import Avid video files, Premiere Pro
automatically imports their associated audio files. However, it
is simpler to import Avid project files, in Advanced Authoring Format
(AAF), than to identify and import individual Avid MXF video files.
Hmm... yeah. A veritable cornucopia of information.
