Premier Pro CS3 crashes with Canon 7D HD files

I am just putting together a promo for a client, shot in HD on my Canon 7D. Everything went fine until 3 minutes into the project when Premier Pro CS3 refuses to render more than 1:30 minutes. (I already changed preferences to "Optimize rendering for Memory") Also the preview window is blanced out White and Black further down the project time line (even after changing back to:"Optimize rendering for Performance". Also now Premier starts crashing everytime I add a sound track. It looks as if the Canon 7D .mov files are too unwieldy for my new 12GB iMac 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 (OSX 10.6.3).
I need some urgent help please, as my job in in jeopardy.
Should I convert my canon .mov files into H.264 first or what is the best way to work with these files?(using MPEG Streamclip)
Thanks very much for your help.

I am probably too late, but if you have Apple Pro Res 422 Codec available in MPEG Streamclip you should transcode your HD files to that and then bring it into Premiere. They will be easier to work with that way.
Good Luck!

  • 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.

    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.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 crash with many video files

    Hi
    I got back from my Ski vacation with many short (few minutes) videos which I took on Canon P&S camera, about 50 files.
    I imported the 50 files to Premiere and tried to work on a movie, but everything works slow and every few commads the premiere crashes.
    I notice that for each new file I add to the project 20K of rams are used - 1G for 50 files. I also get message of low resources from premere which recommend to save my works.
    The video are standard video (not HD) 30fps, and the project is also standard.
    Why is this happening?
    Does the premiere have a limitation for number for files to be imported?
    Does it have problem with the video format?
    How can I overcome this and get a stable editing environment?
    Thanks

    Sorry for the CAPS Lock, I was writing from my mobile, and for some reason it was locked
    so you do not recommend any of those codec package. How are you dealing with all video and audio formats, and subtitles? ffdshow does all for me.
    dont' worry I dont have Klite installed
    so you belive that if one of two codecs you recommened installed well and working it will solve my problem and work much better then FFDSHOW
    I also have the option for converting the file to another format. under what name will I found a sutible format in the conversion software?

  • PREMIERE PRO CS3 CRASHING on SNOWLEOPARD OS

    Please Help!

    Adobe Premier Pro CS3 crashes every 5-10 minutes or so on my mac with no crash report!
    I am running the fastest MAC available - with a solid state hard drive and 24G of RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 card.
    After the first few crashes, one report came up - "Premier Pro Debug Event" - and I took a screen Grab for dear life.
    It reads:

    hmmm,
    that ssd stuff is over my head to be honest. I've heard that some systems with ssd work really fast but I have a feeling that the seek time and speed etc is not quite up to par in some cases... I've only read a little about this ...so all I know is that the ssd stuff hasn't been totally tested and proven, like normal hard drives have been...raid and so on
    basically what you want is to spread the load over the most hard drives you can so the seek time and response time ( in accordance with your ram and demand on the graphics card ...front side bus, etc ) is the fastest you can make it...how that happens is mostly dependent ( IMO ) on the material you're working with ( source stuff and export demand -- or product ).... ssd just doesnt automatically say anything to me personally cause I have no clue how fast it is ....and this is a physical thing ( how close to the center of the drive disk is the pagefile, info you are dealing wtih etc )
    most drives for editing are 7200rpm and average seek time is below 10ms... with raid and decent allocation of drives this gets sorta "as fast as it gets" ....and you have to just deal with it.  Since I dont know exactly what you have and what you can do to make it faster there's not much I can say about this.  You might have to put your os and programs on a fast hard drive and use some raid array for your source assets and exports and so on.. depending on tons of factors.... ( intermediate prores 422 and proxy editing ? )... I have no idea.  As a rule I would say, get the biggest fastest hard drive you can for you os and programs and then get the biggest and fastest hard drives for your assets and exports....and if they are only 10% used, all the better....makes them faster seek time wise....and look at Harms info re: all the basic hardware configs to get the most out of that...and shut down everything that is running in "background" that you dont need for editing...

  • Premier Pro CS3 doesn't activate

    Hi, my Premier Pro CS3 doesn't activate. Or once it kind of did but now it claims that it hasn't. I've tried to solve this with Adobe chat support personel for 4 times now and three of them said "Now it works, you won't run into problems anymore", which of course I have, and the last fellow said "It's a technical problem which we have little information of, please ask from technical support". He gave me a link to this forum. How you guys could help me if they couldn't is beyond me, but I definitely hope you can. The product is licensed for two computers in our company, and last time the chat -fellow cleaned previous activations and now it should only be licensed on my computer as my collague hasn't got time to do it yet. The error message that I'm getting is something like "Unable to connect Adobe" and then there're 3 options 1st: retry (doesn't work) 2nd: try again later (gives 30 days trial I guess) 3rd: Trial or such.. It work fine two times after the 3rd chat -fellow "fixed it", but then I got Adobe CC with photoshop and LR5 and now the problem is back. Any ideas? I would greatly appriciate any leads fixing this as I should use Premier for my company.

    Hardware crashes or virus infections or simple software problems happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new setup or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything

  • Premier Pro CS3 Error "time.cpp-390"

    Please help!
    Whenever I try to manipulate my timeline in Adobe Premier Pro CS3 on a short film that is nearing it's deadline, I get this error "time.cpp-390" followed by the software crashing. Any help?
    Adobe no longer provides support for their product and their tech support help line is utterly useless. I have google searched the error and searched the forums... I own 15 CS3 Creative Suites and if they think I am upgrading to CS5.5 after this customer service experience... I may be moving to FC7.
    I really need to fix this!
    Thank you for any help you can be.

    The event viewer gives me nothing, unfortunately. Thank you for the help though! I did find a solution though...
    Reinstalling the software (the ONLY solution offered by Adobe support people) was entirely a waste of time. So was the nearly two hours I spent talking to four people on their support line just trying to get them to help me. I learned that if I just kept asking for a superviser, they would keep letting me talk to someone different. Apperantly, there is no end in the number of people who are considered "supervisors" at adobe...
    Adobe provided no useful assistance other then telling me to reinstall the software. I am actually more than simply dissapointed with the complete lack of support and complete lack of effort in helping me find a solution to the issue. I actively suggest people use something other than Premier Pro for no other reason than a lack of integrity by the company in supporting thise who spend thousands of dollars on their products. Anyway... I hate them and I'm tired of crying about it.
    SOLUTION TIME!!!
    Ok, so here is the solution. The ONLY solution was to copy the timeline and the bin into a new, fresh project file. I started a new, empty project, then copy/pasted the timeline from the old to the new project. I did the same with the emaining contents of the bin and voila! the error stopped happening.  I have NO IDEA why... but I know that it works and it only took me two days to figure out. In fact, all of the projects I have that are in various stages of completion, must be coppied into new projects in order to work. In other projects, I don't get the time.cpp-390 error, it just simply will not insert a clip no matter what I do.
    So, I'm glad it works... I just wish I knew what the problem was.

  • How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

    Hi
    As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
    Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
    Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
    I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
    Any help
    Thanks.

    I am still not getting this.
    I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
    Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
    Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

  • Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

    I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera.  It saves files with an .m2ts extension.  This extension is not supported by CS3.  Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2.  When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio.  How do I import the audio?  Thanks.
    David

    I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked.  I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3".  There are several other files there with similar names.  If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

    Subject: Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3
    Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
    I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
    My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Getting random white noise in Premier Pro CS3 audio

    I'm working with Premier Pro CS3 on a simple 15 minute slide show with approx. 150 pictures and 3 songs in WAV format. In each of the three songs, I'm getting 1-second bursts of white noise - on left or right or both channels - approx. 3-4 times in each song.  When played outside of Premier Pro, all songs are clean with no white noise.  None of the songs are too 'hot'; show three have good levels in Soundbooth. I've scanned all of the audio sections in Help and can find nothing that might explain the cause and I'd appreciate some guidance.  I've worked with previous versions of Premier Pro for years and have never run into this.  Thanks.

    Have you updated your Creative driver? That would be one of the first things that I would do.
    Next, in Soundbooth, do you see the noise in the Waveform? In PrPro, when you zoom in both vertically and horizontally on the Audio Track, do you see it in the Waveform?
    Some folk have had great luck using ASIO4ALL as their ASIO driver. It has cleared up many issues with a broad range of equipment. I do not recall your exact problem, but then I might have missed that one. Note: after you download and install ASIO4ALL, you'll need to go to Audio Hardware and set it as your Input and Output. This driver has been very helpful on the Audition forum, and with all sorts of issues and some very esoteric hardware.
    Hope that something helps, and good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premier Pro CS3

    I recently upgraded my operating platform on my Mac to Snow Leopard. When opening Premier Pro CS3 now I am confronted by the following message:
    "The previously selected ASIO driver could not be loaded and may be in  use by another application. The default ASIO driver is now in use.",  followed by a notification that Premiere Pro has encountered a serious  error and has to close."
    Can anybody advise me how to proceed and get Premier Pro back to a working state?
    With thanks in advance.

    Normalize will adjust the volume so that the highest point is at 0 dBFS. If it's reducing gain by 12.3 dB, then somehow the original is 12.3 dB too hot! Not sure how that can happen in the digital realm, though. 0 dBFS is pretty much the max you can get. This one has me confused.
    I believe Premiere will conform all audio to 32 bit Floating Point for editing. Not sure you can adjust that.

  • Premier Pro CS4 crashed frequently

    While rendering the Premier Pro CS4 crashed frequently with the following message: "Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." any idea? the HW used is: HP workstation xw8600 with video card NVIDIA FX 4600. OS: Vista 32 bit

    Hello,
    Thanks for the help.
    #3 - I realy consider it as the final solution
    #2 - I already did it - didn't help
    Regarding #1 - I don't understand what exactly to delete. The UserFolder>Documents>Adobe>Premiere Pro>4.0 is my working folder of Premier Pro where I'm saving all my current medias and project.
    Shall I work with a different folder instead?

    I've killed all the processes you have told me too.
    I've taken off the side of my PC and run a fan to hopefully help cool it down - With increasing airflow, I think I probably need a bigger case and more fans, this PC is a mixture of hardware from 3 that have been cannibalised. (Hence why the power supply isn't very good)
    I'm sorry I'm not very computer literate, and I'm a student desperately trying to do her work. My PC isn't a notebook, its a desktop PC.
    I'm not sure if there are any settings in the BIOS to help increase fan speed?
    I'm really sorry, but what is a SATA drive?
    Thanks so much for the help so far! It's still not working though :(
    I'm going to wait a bit to see if the fan helps lower the temperature enough that its ok.

  • Importing Kodak .mov files in Premier Pro CS3?

    I am using Premier Pro CS3 and I have a new Kodak Playsport Zx3.  Kodak says the .mov clips are 1080p, and 30 frames a second. I tried importing clips into CS3 and I get 'file type not supported' error.  The manual says .mov are supported.  What am I missing?  Do I need Quicktime installed for importing the files?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Can you tell us more about your computer?
    If you are getting the "Not Supported" error, then it is likely that you do not have the proper CODEC's installed. For the MOV format, those are usually installed with Apple's QuickTime Player. Do you have that installed? If not, it is free, though IMHO, is not that great a player. In your case, you only need the CODEC's that it installs.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - something else to consider is that many camera mfgrs. will ship their own version of the CODEC's, and these might be on the CD/DVD, that came with the camera. Sometimes, the CODEC is an extra install, sometimes it's built into the driver for the camera, and sometimes, it's part of some video editing program, that ships with the camera. It just depends.
