Premiere 10 Hassles

My computer is constantly crashing when I bring up projects, and the playback is so slow, I'm waiting forever to just watch plaback. Editing has become impossible. Thoughts?

Gr8Pear990
Are you referring to Premiere Elements 10? On what computer operating system is it running?
By any chance does your computer have a NVIDIA video card? If so, please check out the following thread which deals with the epidemic of Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card users and display issues et al.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5907813
For now, the answer to that issue is to roll back the driver instead of the classical drill to make sure that your computer has the latest version of the video card driver.
Let us rule this factor in or out of your particular situation and then we can decide what next if necessary.
Thank you.

  • My troubles with Markers in Premiere

    I’m editing a feature documentary in Adobe Premiere CC (latest update) on my MacBook Pro 2014 w/ Mavericks.
    I have about 100 hours of source footage that I’m logging using Comment Markers in Premiere.
    The problem I’m facing in this workflow is dealing with multichannel audio files. Our sound engineer recorded sound using a Sound Devices 644 6-channel mixer/recorder that saves to 24-bit multichannel .WAV-files. I sometimes have 5 mono tracks with wireless microphones and a boom. I need to sync these audio files to the footage first, before I’m able to properly spot and log what I have. The camera scratch track is insufficient to do this properly, since it sometimes only contains camera-audio, or a mix of different channels, with people being in different locations at the same time. So, I need to be able to mute channels to reveal the content of each audio track separately.
    Unfortunately, I’m unable to use Prelude for the logging process, since that program does not give me the option to synchronize my external audio with the footage first, using the embedded timecode in both video and audio files. I also don’t want to transcode, re-wrap or combine audio and video
    originals into new (intermediate) files.
    So, my conclusion is that I have to use Premiere Pro’s Marker functionality. First, I made sequences for each day we recorded footage. On those sequences, I synced the footage with the corresponding multichannel audio tracks. Then, I decided to make markers in the source clips of either the video (description of what we see, like insert shot, or listening shot, or an event) or the audio (description of what we hear / what people say).
    Having worked this way for a couple of weeks, the following bugs / annoyances pop-up:
    1 – If I add a comment marker to track 3 (out of 4) of a multichannel audiofile, that comment is also visible in tracks 1, 2 and 4. It doesn’t matter if I unlink the audiotracks first. The comment will stay visible in all tracks. This is not useful, since sometimes, different things are said in different audiotracks of the same file. I suppose this has something to do with the way Premiere handles multichannel audio-files and the fact that they are saved in one file. I guess the workaround has to be the hassle of splitting all audio into separate files, without losing the original timecode, but tt would be much better if Premiere just gave me the option to create separate markers for each individual audio track of a multichannel file.
    2 – It’s hard to create overlapping comment markers. Sometimes a part of a clip needs to be logged/commented in two different categories and then it would be nice to have overlapping markers in the same clip. I believe this is possible in Prelude and transports well to Premiere, but Premiere does not really give a good way to do it itself.
    3 – When I create a marker (M), I have to alt-click on it in the Source-window to be able to expand the range of that marker. I can then add comment text in either the Markers Panel, or in the pop-up window when I double-click the marker. This works well with shorter clips, but the problem starts with longer clips, like a 30-minute interview. At some point, when I alt-click and then drag the handle to expand the marker, the playhead of the Source timeline jumps back to a position somewhere in the middle of the clip. It does not stay with the marker I just created/expanded. This is a really big annoyance, because then I have to scroll back to that part I was working on. Is there some way or setting to stick to the place in the source clip I’m working on?
    4 – Eventually, the Markers in my clip (either in the video or audio clips) show up in the Markers Panel. I now have a scrollable overview that can also be searched. But now the following problem arises: If I search for a specific marker and want to jump to that marker in the content, I click on the marker in the list. It will now nicely go to that place in the Source window of the corresponding audio clip. But how can I reveal exactly that position in the corresponding clip in my sequence? Because only there, it is synced with my video… Of course, I can visually see the markers and the beginning of their text content in my sequence too, but it would be really nice to have a „reveal in sequence” button somewhere. Working with Sequence Markers as an alternative would look problematic to me. I want to be able to pancake sequences and copy clips from a sequence of selects to my main edit, with all comment markers transporting nicely. Furthermore, I like the idea of comment markers being saved in the XMP of the source clip. I have selected this option in the Preferences.
    5 – For some strange reason, sometimes comment markers are not saved in the audio file. I have a multichannel .WAV file, which contains 4 mono channels of audio. I added markers to this clip, closed my sequence, opened it again and the markers were still there. But when I saved my project,  closed Premiere and re-opened it again, the markers were gone. This happens not with all multichannel .WAV-files, but it happens sometimes and I haven’t discovered the reason yet. On this specific example (T22.wav) I can recreate the error. I checked the file and it’s not read-only or something. So, it just feels like a total random thing and not a very reliable function of Adobe Premiere.
    6 – This brings me to other usability issues regarding Markers in Premiere. As I have understood, there is no proper option to globally search for (comment) markers in the entire project. To me, in 2015, this appears very silly and I’m sure Adobe is working on a solution. My workaround now is to export the markers in each clip to a .CSV-file and combine those in Excel. Then, I have a complete overview of all markers in my project. What I feel lacks is that the .CSV-file does not export the Marker color. I use the colors to make visual indicators of categories. For example: a red markers means: important! An orange marker is a question etc. It would be really nice to have an additional column in the CSV indicating just the name of the color. I would be better of course, if Adobe seriously fixes the global search thing.
    To conclude, many of the problems I’m facing originate from the fact that I work with double system audio, where the audio is saved in multichannel audio-files, that need to be synced using timecode. Although this is a pretty standard procedure, it feels like Adobe Premiere Pro CC has some issues that I would like to see resolved in future upgrades. I hope my post could benefit to this.
    Furthermore, If anyone feels that I’m using completely the wrong workflow and has useful suggestions, I’m all ears! I’m still in the beginning phase of the edit. It took me a while to ingest all files, create the file structure and sequences and properly sync all the audio, but if I’m doing something wrong, I rather hear it now than at the end.
    Thanks and my apologies for this exhaustive post.

    Meanwhile, I have found a workaround for this problem:
    9. – When I have finished adding Comment Markers to a file, I export it's audio to a WAV from Prelude. This WAV-file will also contain the newly created markers. Then I send the WAV to my co-editor and he places the WAV under the original audio in his timeline. Now the extra .WAV-file will function as a 'guide track' which shows the markers. The audio channel can be muted.
    It would make much more sense if Premiere always checks if a .XMP on the disk has been updated or added, when it is mounting the media upon opening the project file. Or even better: Premiere should update the Markers in the timeline in realtime, when the .XMP has changed.
    Having said this, we found the following behavior of Premiere, when media and .XMP's on the disk are replaced:
    – Sony F5 / Sony PMW-100 / Canon XF200 .MXF + .XMP, only .XMP with new metadata is replaced on co-editor disk: Comment markers are MIXED with markers that were already present in the clip. Some markers get lost, because of conflicting timecodes?
    – Canon C300 .MXF + .XMP, only .XMP with new metadata is replaced on co-editor disk; Comment markers DO NOT show up in timeline. Re-import and re-placement of file in timeline is necessary (including syncing with external audio)
    – .MOV Quicktime container (entire .MOV has to be replaced on co-editor disk, since metadata is saved in Quicktime container): Comment markers are MIXED with markers that were already present in the clip. Some markers get lost, because of conflicting timecodes?
    – .WAV-files: Comment markers properly update on timeline.
    I'm curious to see if the upcoming 2015 update contains improved functionality and bugfixes regarding .XMP metadata (e.g. Comment Markers) and sharing media. I'm especially curious about the new Adobe Anywhere functionality for small teams.

  • Best workflow using DNG files from Odyssey 7Q in Premiere 8.1

    Finally, the magenta highlights issue has been fixed in this new 8.1 version of Premiere - lovely! :-)
    I'm wondering though, what the best workflow is when using 2K/4K raw dng image sequences from the Odyssey7Q? In this case, shot on the Sony FS700.
    Is there a simple and easy way to batch import a bunch of clips?
    The behavior of the Media Browser in Premiere is a little different than the last version... When you choose the individual dng clip folders it now shows one single dng sequence files instead of a bunch of individual png images. But you still have to browse to each clip folder and choose the dng sequence file. If you just choose the root that contains the clip folders or if you choose multiple clip folders, it will import the content of those folders as individual dng image files! Pretty annoying...
    Does anyone know of a better way to import where you don't have to choose each clip manually?
    Also, how do you bring a PP edit sequence into AE for ACR processing? You can't copy/paste the files and you can't choose "Replace With After Effects Composition" - those two methods will just import one single DNG frame into AE.
    You can import a whole PP project into AE but that will just show the entire PP sequence as one single file. You can't access the individual clips or open it in ACR.
    The best method I know of is export all the DNG sequences as proxies, edit the material using the proxies on PP timeline, copy/paste that into an AE comp and then manually replace each of the used proxy files with the original DNG files, which will open up the ACR. But that's a bit of a hassle...
    Is there any way of taking advantage of the full dynamic range of the DNG files in Premiere? When I bring down and overexposed image using either fast color correction or by right-clicking on a clip and choosing "source settings..." and using the exposure slider, the image looks "flat" but when I do the same thing using the ACR, I can reintroduce the details otherwise lost in the overexposure.
    Any info or advice on this will be greatly appreciated

    Hi EyelightKasper,
    See if this method will work for you: Re: How to import multiple DNG files into Premiere
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro and Media Encoder crash while rendering H.264

    Very recently, a problem's popped up where Premiere Pro and Media Encoder (CC) will crash while rendering H.264.
    It's only while rendering H.264 - other formats seem to work fine.
    And I don't mean that it returns an error, I mean it hard crashes with a Windows "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working" popup.
    It doesn't crash at a consistent time during the render, even on the same project. Occasionally, it won't crash at all, but this is usually not the case.
    I've tried disabling CUDA and my overclock to no avail. Please help!

    On the topic of opening a project on the exact same version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (yes it is definitely up to date, and the 2014 version), to overcome this export crash problem that ZachHinchy has brought up - you can't. Technically speaking, one should easily be able to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project from one system on another system running the exact same up to date, legitimate version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 without any kind of error. But for some reason, this has been disallowed(?) by Adobe. It has facepalm written all over it. Does anyone agree that this is at least a little bit silly?
    I have tried exporting a Final Cut Pro XML from my project to try and open the sequence at uni on a Mac, so I can render my project when I finish my edit. It half works - the clips are there, but the sequence is gone - i.e. 12 hours of painstaking sequencing and micro-edits that had me at several points in time wanting to insert my hand through my monitor with enough force to make a large hole. I really cannot afford redo this sequence, as my assignment is due tomorrow, and I have to work at 6 oclock in the morning, so I also cannot afford to stay up till the early hours of tomorrow morning. Wish me luck that some miraculous event has taken place overnight that will somehow allow me to just open my project, on the same version of Premiere, on a Mac, without hassle. (Apple OS is not friendly to anything but its own selfish nature, so I am having doubts).
    Adobe please, if you can do anything at all to help, you will save my assignment, and my faith will be restored. Otherwise, I'll just get my money back and buy Final Cut instead.
    I cant even
    If I find a way to fix either of these problems, I will post straight away.

  • How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

    How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

    IMHO Windows would be the place to start.
    Why do you want to load CS5 for Windows?
    Adobe does produce a version of CS5 that runs on OS X so that it would not be necessary for you to have to screw around with Windows. Personally that would be the way to go and avoid the hassles of Windows.

  • Inexpensive Dual-DVI video card for Cubase 6.5 & Adobe Premiere CS6, on Win7x64

    I need a card for both and I can't find one that is "approved" for both. Is anyone using these two programs together? I'm currently using a pair of ATI FireGL V3350 cards that, so far, play video fine in Premiere (haven't done any editing or AE yet) but not in Cubase 6. I'm not a pro so a high end card would be lost on me. An inexpensive card that can handle standard editing in Premiere with some AE, no advanced 3-D (titles only?), and will also play video in Cubase 6.5 is what I'm looking for.
    Thanks in advance

    hello, @ MD:  this should be fun:  i use Reason7
    in the general forum there is a thread about mulitple monitors
    some of the PPRO users here might get a kick out of this as well and/or have comments/advice
    here is most of it:
    CELTICDALE:
    Hi! I`ve been using 3 screens for 7-8 years on 4 different systems.
    This solution works on any system I can think of, laptop or desktop.
    Matrox TripleHead2Go (Digital Edition) (TH2Go)
    It works by splitting the signal from 1 DVI or VGA port to 3 screens.
    I just bougt a GTX690 which have 3 DVI ports, but I only use 1 with
    the TH2Go because it works perfect without any hassle. The beauty
    of it, compared to what others are suggesting, is that you can use
    this whith whatever system you have, and you don`t have to by a new
    solution (graphics card) if you upgrade. It`s external, so you can
    easily move it to another computer. There are no fans and it gets
    power from a USB port and use almost no power compared to an extra
    gfx card. I also still have to free ports from my GTX690, allowing
    me to add 2 more screens if I want.
    If you hook it up to a laptop, you can use the laptop screen + up to 3
    extra screens. I can run this on an 8 year old laptop I have, with no problems..
    People who are suggesting that DVI is getting phased out, are wrong.
    The worlds newest and fastest single GPU highend card comes with
    2 DVI ports (GTX780, and is released tomorrow)
    When I travel, it fits easily inside my laptop bag. Only thing I need
    extra is the cables and adapters to hook up to different types of ports.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815106011
    http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/pr...connect_video/
    The only way to go in my opinion...
    Good luck!
    PS. There are different models, with HDMI also, but I reccommend the
    model I linked to, as you can just go with adapter if you want to
    connect to HDMI and don`t need to send sound to the screen. In the
    rare cases I connect sound to the screen, I just use a minijack cable.
    But of cource, you know best what you need..
    hope this helps in some way, cheers, j

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

    i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
    thanks in advance!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 won't boot - keeps crashing when trying to load VST plug-ins

    This problem has been a thorn in my side for ages - after a recent software update to some of my VST plug-ins, Premiere Pro will no longer boot.  I have to re-name the VSTPlugins folder to a different name.  It used to be that it would scan the VSTPlugins folder, crash a bunch of times, then eventually boot up because it figured out that it should ignore that folder.  It no longer does this, so I have to manually rename the VSTPlugins folder every time I run premiere.
    Obviously, this is a hassle.  And is extremely easy to fix from a programming point of view: stop scanning my VSTPlugins folder!!!!!
    Is there a workaround for this, or a way to tell Premiere to stop scanning that folder for plug-ins?
    Thanks,
    rgames

    Hi Bill - as I mentioned in my first post, the behavior you describe is what used to happen: keep launching PPro until it finally boots (pretty lame solution, by the way).
    However, as I also mentioned, that no longer works.  PPro keeps crashing on the same two or three .DLL's and they never get "blacklisted" because it tries again on the next boot.  These .dll's were recently updated, so I'm guessing that's why it's an issue now.  I was able to boot-crash-boot-crash ... boot-crash-boot before, but not since the .dll's were updated.
    The coding solution is so simple I can't believe it's never been implemented: give the option to stop scanning the VSTPlugins folder!  Seriously, this is probably 2 minutes of coding for someone who knows where to look in the code.
    Anybody have a fix for this problem?
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Elements 7 freeze/restart

    hi
    we just set up a new system:
    mb: gigabyte ex58-ds4
    cpu: intel core i7-920
    ram: 4 gigs corsair
    gpu: sapphire hd 4870, 512mb gddr5
    hd: 2x750 samsung on intel on-board raid 0
    os: vista 64-bit business
    there's newest driver for each piece of hardware, including chipset drivers, sata-raid drivers and a bios update for the mainboard. we are using a sony HDR-SR11E and recorded some full HD content. adobe photoshop elements 7 works fine. premiere elements works fine, until all the footage is copied to the local hd on the desktop.
    the system totally freezes only seconds after starting to work. the error can't be reproduced exactly, no matter what i do (drag'n'drop clips to the scene view, dragging in-out-indicators or rendering), the crashes keep coming up. the only similarity is that it only crashes when something's happening, while the program is idle it doesn't crash.
    by totally freezing i mean there's no kind of response, even the hd noise stops (if there was any). sometimes the system simply resets itself.
    anyone else with the same kind of problems? obviously, the program can't be used the way it works now.
    thx elfi

    well, i feel like since it's been almost 2 months it is time for a status report. here's what i did:
    - i made contact with the adobe support
    - i endured the 23 step program of http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404998
    - i toiled myself through the hassle of trying different video formats
    - i saw a bright light as .avi footage from my old DV-cam worked, and then got slapped in the face by simple jpegs freezing the program
    - i anxiously waited for replies
    - i sent several log-files to "them-who-must-not-be-named"
    - i was told to use the one tool called "GSpot" to detect and eliminate codec conflicts
    - i received no satisfaction by using GSpot
    - i tried the application on a different 32 bit xp system without problems
    - i was told, that now that the problem only occurs on 64 bit vista, i won't receive any help from the mighty support anymore, because it isn't certified for 64 bit vista
    - i said: "the package claims that thee program supports vista, this includes 64 bit vista! why is there no technical support for me now?"
    - they replied: "it is NOT true that vista 64 bit is not supported! PE7 just isn't CERTIFIED for 64 bit systems, thus us can give no more support as long as thou uses a 64 bit system!"
    - i took the one product and threw it into the fires of mount doom
    at least i'm about to. personally i think this is a total ripoff, now i have to downgrade to a 32 bit OS, which will require another 100 bucks for a new windows xp, or i switch to another tool, which requires relearning a new tool. and what if it is some incompatibility between the software and some hardware and not 64 bit related? i should pay microsoft to get support from adobe?
    i'm very well aware that there can be problems with new hardware in combination with new software, but that they basically cut the support off and force me to deal with the problem by reinvesting into a downgrade is an outrage.
    besides, there are quite a lot of posts on the internet from a lot of people having similar problems to mine, and yet adobe doesn't seem to release any kind of fix. from what i've heard they didn't do it for any of the older versions either.
    this will definitely be my last "beta-test" for adobe, just because you are suddenly releasing programs for reasonable prices doesn't mean that they shouldn't be finished.

  • Premiere CC 2014 no video display

    I am running Premiere Pro CC 2014 - just upgraded to 2014.0.1 (single barrel? what is single barrel please?)
    Mac Pro early 2009. 2 x 2.26 Quad-Core Intel Xeon - 32 gb RAM.
    I now get no picture in any of my playback windows. This happened once before. To solve the problem I tried re-installing  Mavericks - just a clean install. This did not work.
    I had to reformat the HD then re-install 10.9.1 upgrade to 10.9.4, then re-install Adobe CC + APPS. For a while this worked. I had pictures in my Premiere Pro CC 2014 windows!
    But today it's hit me again. I am reasonably convinced it's a Quicktime issue; something to do with the way Premiere Pro CC 2014 'calls' QT from the OS. I can play the same clips OK in Bridge and in After effects BUT NOT Premiere Pro CC 2014.
    I really do not want to go through the hassle of reformatting my drive AGAIN, particularly as it did not permanently sort the issue last time.
    HELP
    PLEASE.

    Thanks, It was the psd file. Merged an unwanted layer when importing and that was blocking everything under it.

  • Camera Raw like interface for Premiere Pro CC

    Hi Adobe
    I'm a photographer and video producer looking for an easier way to grade and adjust the levels of my footage in Premiere.
    The DynamicLink with SpeedGrade is really lovely and quick, but getting my head around the new SG interface and being able to squeeze the best results out of it is a real challenge. Recently I discovered that I can open video files in Photoshop CC and use the Adobe Camera Raw interface as an effect on the footage and apply colour and levels changes there. This has really opened up the grading process for me and coming from a stills background with several years of using Lightroom to process my photos, I find the Camera Raw interface much more intuitive. It has allowed me to get better results much faster than I was getting out of SpeedGrade. The only issue is the workflow and render time involved in getting the video from Premiere to Photoshop and then back again is drawn out and complex.
    My questions are:
    Is there a current effect or plugin that replicates the Camera Raw interface and feature set in Premiere Pro / SpeedGrade?
    Is this a feature Adobe is looking to include in future updates of Premiere?
    It maybe laziness on my behalf not taking the time to learn the interface of SpeedGrade, but I know Adobe is a responsive developer and that this feature would speed up the grading process and would really appeal to the DSLR community who use your products for both photos and videos production.
    Thanks in advance

    As to quick corrections, a bit of experience in Sg and wow ... what you can do quickly. At first, SpeedGrade ticked me off, couldn't do squat in it. After a bit of learning about how to use scopes & what the goal is in video (very different than stills) ... and learning some of the interface bits ... and getting a Kensington Expert Mouse Trackball (which is a great trackball with a spinner ring and no mouse at all) so it works with the color wheels real spiffy ...and the ease of saving "looks" for my camera's main use stuff ... speed of quick corrections is stunning. "Normalize" ... a couple clicks if that's all you want to do. Keyboard shorts too. All for me, way faster than the 3-Way or Fast.
    As to the ACR interface, I went down to NAB in Vegas this spring, got to talk with some of the folks "behind" Sg. And also such things as coming from a stills background, being familiar with the Lightroom and ACR style of panels, wondering if that was possible. Got a pretty good answer ... short answer, "possible" ... well, yes, ... probably.
    But ... very, very difficult to do, because of a concatenation of things.
    First ... the photo apps (Lr, P-shop, Bridge) are developed by a completely different group of people, EVERYTHING from the "look" or style thinkers to the coders. There is virtually no "code" similarity between the products for stills and the products for video. Think about the differences here ... Photoshop and Lightroom are designed to work on one image at a time, realistically, and allow "batching" instructions to a few others. And they can at times pretty much take over most computer's resources. The video apps are designed to work on (process) THOUSANDS of images at a time, as that's what a clip is, let alone a full sequence of clips. The coding "ideology" for the two is completely different. Even though P-shop has some video handling capability, NONE of the code is anywhere near alike. You can't say "we've got that code here, let's put it in over there ... ".
    It would be like thinking you just wanted good power in a little European sportster so you decided to put a big American-built Cummings diesel motor in it. Um ... with enough work & hassle, it actually might be possible. The wisdom of the effort, let alone the happiness you might achieve with the result ... well, it might be worth thinking about before starting. Or at least realizing it's gonna be a ton of work to do.
    Second ... resources while running. In stills, if one is technically sharp, one looks at a histogram while "developing" in Lr terminology. That histogram takes next to no resources whatever, works perfectly well. In video, if your aren't looking at least at a good Vectorscope if not also Parade while working, well ... the success of your endeavors let alone the time to create them is going to be ... perhaps ... poor. Probably. Yet those scopes can take quite a bit of resources all by their lonesome. Which is why they have the option to "pause" the scopes while playback is going on, as to keep them going in real-time is a right b-tard. Resource-wise.
    Think of what's going in in the video apps: they take your source footage, but only the bits you've selected (but out FROM the whole clip constantly), all the changes & effects you've made, compute instantly for every flipping image at between 24 to 120 per second what it "should" look like, and display that in your playback monitor. This is a load the stills apps don't even think about. And yet, they've got to make these things "look" like there's no difference in getting things to your monitor than the stills programs. It is literally like comparing 18-wheel freight trucks to Maseratis. And expecting the Maserati to carry the load the freight truck does. Hey, the little Maserati may actually have more horsepower,. you know. Why can't it pull that semi-trailer? P-shop has some video capability, why can't you just cut & paste something else from P-shop into Sg?
    So ... the long answer is adding some option like the LR/ACR style interface is an intriguing idea even for the Sg "team". However, it would pretty much mean they'd need to rebuild a ton of the program. Now, most of the things you can do within that interface Sg already does, albeit with vastly different code and "tools". When I asked about perhaps just allowing a Secondaries panel with the HSL look out of Lr, one of the main dudes just sort of ... blanched. I would guess from other comments that that little bit has been discussed or something along that line, and ... it would be a "Significant" people-using project to accomplish. From a coding standpoint, some parts of Sg would simply have to be rebuilt. With the appropriate de-bugging needed to get it operational AGAIN on so many different types of hardware/codecs/drivers/OS & etc.
    There's times that HSL panel would allow me to easily do precisely what I want ... I would love to have it. I've put in numerous Wish Requests for it. And of course, done so in person. I'm not expecting to see it any time soon, mind you ... but again, put in wish requests for the ACR panel in Sg. Can't hurt.

  • MXF issues with Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello,
    I am having trouble using Canon XF300 MXF files in Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.2. I am using the media browser (tried icon and list view) to import footage (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility). I can import and play audio and video for all files under 2.05 GB but PPro limits any file longer than 30 seconds to  30 seconds.
    Alos, Canon cameras cut files over 2.05 GB into separate MXFs. Most of my footage are interviews over 10 minutes long so I have 3 or 4 separate MXF spanned files for each clip. Premiere is having most trouble handling these files. First of all it limits them to 30 seconds each. Then, when I import them and drag them into a sequence it will only play audio from the first spanned file, even if video from the second sapnned file is playing.
    I have tried merging all spanned files using Canon XF Utility's 'Export to MXF' function. As a result I have one 10 minute long MXF file but when I import it to PPro it still limits it to 30 seconds.
    I made the change to PPro because of the ability to edit various formats in a single senqunce without tanscoding. I recently purchased a Sony FS700 and FCP7 couldn't really handle the MTS (or clipwrapped movs). Premiere handles them perfectly but can't handle the MXFs. So currently I am finding myself going into FCP7, logging and transfering the MXFs and transcoding them to .movs using the Canon XF plugin for FCP7 and then importing those to Premiere (they work fine this way)...but of course its a hassle to do with hundreds of clips per shoot.
    I also noted that VLC 2.0.x versions can't handle the MXFs so well (video plays fine, audio at double the speed) but VLC version 1.0.3 handles them ok as long as I dont forward the video.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Computer specs: Mac Pro 2.66GHz 12 core, 16 GB RAM running latest Snow Leopard update.
    Clips shot at: 29.97 fps, 50 Mpbs, HD 1920x1080.

    (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility)
    Try skipping any special software and just use Windows Explorer (or Finder).

  • Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available

    Friends:
    I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
    Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
    Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
    Adobe's own published notice:
    "The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
    The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
    Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
    Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
    Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
    How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
    forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
    I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
    I must mention in this context my own  (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
    my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
    "It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
    Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
    Can anyone help, please ?
    Thanks,
    Pradip A.

    Hello Mr. Wright:
    The download now works. Appreciate your help.
    The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.
    Regards,
    Pradip Acharya
