Premiere 5.5 XDCAM Medien

Hallo Zusammen,
ich habe ein paar Fragen zu Premiere Pro 5.5. Wir schneiden auf Macs mit OS 10.6.8
Wir werden ein Projekt mit XDCAM 4:2:2 Material schneiden und dies auf getrennten Schnittsystemen:
Wie kann ich, falls nötig, problemlos die Medien erneut verbinden? Da wir teilweise mit externen Festplatten arbeiten?
Bei einigen Versuchen mussten viele Dateien manuell gesucht werden, was sehr zeitraubend ist.
Und kann ich von Premiere aus direkt auf die Sony U1 direkt ausspielen? Oder muss ich über das Sony-Transfertool gehen?
Und gibt es bei Premiere die Möglichkeit ein Digibetaband zu mastern, sprich mit Timecode zu versehen?
Ausspielen und Capturen funktioniert bei uns über die Decklink Studio2 Karte ohne Probleme. Nur mastern geht nicht.
Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe im Voraus!!
Grüße,
Jaskin

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac http://mediainfo.massanti.com/
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line
above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project
Also, if that file ends in MOV you need to have Quicktime installed

  • Premiere Pro CS 5 "Medien Verbinden" Mehrere Medien auf einmal verbinden klappt nicht

    Wenn ich in Premiere Pro CS5 meine Proxy Videos markiere, offline stelle und dann mit "Medien verbinden" ersetzen will, wird lediglich nur ein Video ersetzt, obwohl alle Videos in einem Verzeichnis liegen und den gleichen Namen haben.
    Wenn ich auf meinem alten Rechner mit Premiere Pro CS4 die Medien ersetzten will klappt das. Alle Videos werden auf einmal ersetzt. Woran kann das liegen ???

    Hallo und Danke für die schnelle Antwort.
    Also Cache habe ich über Premiere Pro bereinigt. Leider ohne Erfolg. In dem Verzeichnis liegen trotzdem noch 8 GB Daten, darf ich die manuell löschen ?
    So nun zum System :
    Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
    RAM 8 GB
    Intel Core i5 2,3 GHz
    Premiere Pro CS5
    Für den Test habe ich 3 Proxyvideos importiert (960x540), offline gestellt, alle Videos markiert und mit Medien verbinden das Original Videoverzeichnis (mit der Videogröße 1920x1080) geöffnet. Dort das erste Video ausgewählt (Strg+A funktioniert dort ja nicht) und "Auswählen" geklickt. Jetzt wird lediglich nur ein Video ersetzt. Und sonderbarerweise nicht mal das, das ich angeklickt habe, sondern das 3. Video.
    Es handelt sich um MOV Dateien.
    In diesem Tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsqFilCBKIY wird hingewiesen, daß sogar die Groß / Kleinschreibung der Dateiendung eine Rolle spielt. Habe ich im übrigen auch berücksichtigt, obwohl es bei mir in der Premiere Pro CS 4-Version keine Rolle gespielt hat.

  • Mov files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - XDCAM (MPEG) resp MPEG 1/2 (xdvc)

    Problem description:
    I got a bunch of MOV files on a HFS+ formated disk for editing on Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3). When I import to Premiere, Premiere says "Codec missing or unavailable". Paragon HFS+ is used to handle the HFS+ formated disk. I copied the data to a NTFS formated disk before using.
    The reseach I did give the following indications:
    I did try to play in Quicktime and Quicktime told that I would need additional software to play the .mov file. But I could execute show movie inspector and it shows "XDCAM EX 1080i 50 (35Mb/s VBR)".
    VLC plays (!) and tells that it is a "Mpeg 1/2 Video (xdvc)"
    MediaInfo says "MPEG Video (XDCAM)"
    Sound is (L)PCM according to the mov inspector programs.
    The MPEG2 format seems to be supported by Premiere (also in HD), forum entries tell me I should be at version 5.0.2 as there Adobe supports the MOV container. So now my question: What am I missing?
    I have no idea on the Camera used to film, but it could be a JVC, as it is told that the JVC writes mov files.

    Hi Colin,
    The explanation is quite simple and it appeared to me sometime during the weekend when executing completly different tasks.
    The video source is different! The small clips (and your test clip) are what came from the camera and was transcoded to mov, my test clip was the edit out of FCP! It was by chance the only mov-file left, all others have been deleted after transforming to mp4, not to keep the data in double and fill up the disks with unnessecary data. So I tested this clip, which was the mistake!
    Testing one of the original input files confirmed your result!
    The difference between the files is having indeed 2 mono audio streams (input mov) vs one stereo stream (edit mov), all 3 obviously PCM.

  • Premiere CS4 with XDCAM files in MOV wrapper

    Hi. I am using a JVC HM700 camera. This camera shoots in 35 mbit XDCAM EX format.  The XDCAM footage is "wrapped" in a MOV file . To have an MP4 (Sony standard wrapper) I need to plug an SxS recorder on the back that activates the codc/wrapper option in the camera's menu. Also Sony standard files come with a single folder for every clip (holds metadata) . For these two reasons I really prefer to work with the MOV wrapper. Quality is exactly the same (it's an XDCAM EX) but it's all much easier. Now.. while Final Cut can edit realtime these clips (actually they worked with JVC in developing the camera) I cannot do the same in Premiere. Premiere will work in realtime with MP4 wrapped XDCAM but not with MOV wrapped XDCAM. in fact I get the "yellow line" above my footage in the timeline and playback jitters... So my question... Is Adobe going to support MOV wrapped XDCAM EX 35 Mbit files in the future? Or is there some plugin around? Thanks, Marcello

    Marcello,
    Check out this thread for some more information and a link to a program that will losslessly rewrap the XDCAM stream from an MOV to an MPG. Here's the website translated via Google (original is in German).
    I just tested it out on an HM700 clip I downloaded, and the MPG imports into Premiere perfectly; plays back in an XDCAM EX sequence preset without a yellow or red line.
    I doubt Adobe will support the MOV-wrapped files from this camera; as you mentioned, it was specifically developed with Apple to work with FCP. I think the odds of Adobe offering MOV support for this camera are extremely slim. But hey--you never know...

  • Premiere Pro CS5 - XDCAM export

    Hello friends,
    We are using Premiere Pro CS5 successfully in our video editing. But we have a problem: We export to the format. MXF in HD and SD with no problems. I can copy the clips to the MXF HD PDW-U1 drive smoothly. However,  the export of IMX (30, 40 or 50), and when trying to copy the disc  using the PDW-U1 (formatted disk, free name and multiple format enabled)  the drive does not accept the copy.
    Do you have any idea what might be happening? In Premiere Pro CS4 was possible to export and copy to SD for the PDW-U! through op1a.
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Sequence Export XDCAM HD for Mira and Crossfire Click Effects

    Hello, I wondered what the best was was to push XDCAM HD (Not XDCAM EX) Sequences from Premiere 5 on Mac to a Mira (by Abekas) PB server (will do native XDCAM HD) and a Crossfire Click Effects PB Server (will not do XDCAM HD Native , but does DVCPRO HD and XDCAM EX 35). I see that Media Encoder can set up watch folders..will it convert to MXF Op1a or AVI. Will it do MPEG 2 iFrame or DVCPRO HD in a .avi or XDAM EX 35?  Is anyone doing this workflow? Thanks.  This will be a push pull workflow and wondering how to get the XDCAM HD out of Premiere converted for the Crossfire without having to add a Flip Factory.
    I just found this and it looks good: 
    Note:  MXF is a container format. Adobe Media Encoder can encode and export movies in the Op-Atom variety of MXF containers using the DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO100, and AVC-Intra codecs. Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2 and later) can export MXF files containing the MPEG-2 essence items that comply with the XDCAM HD format used by such systems as Avid Unity. The standalone Adobe Media Encoder can also export files in this format.

    The problem is likely with FCP, which has a habit of transcoding the original media, sometimes to codecs that simply do not work on a PC.

  • Premiere pro cc 2014 problems with audio

    I have edited some sequences in premiere using sony xdcam ex clips. The clips where recorded as 1080 50i. I have edited it in the same sequence properties as premiere sugested it. All there is fine and audio is playing well. The problem strats when i change the sequence properties and select it at 1080 60i or 29p. The audio is distorted and it sounds like robotic, sometimes audio is muted on audio transitions. When i revert the properties back to 50i then all is fine.
    Anyone else experience the same problems?

    Sometimes i must add some clips that are recorded on canon 6d on 29.97p. and this clips look choppy and jerky on 50i sequence. But on 60i sequence both 50i and 29.97p look good. On premiere cc i cann change sequence properties without any problems with audio, only on cc 2014 that audio problem exist.

  • MXF XDCAM OP1a Red Frames in Media Encoder

    It was advised in the other thread about red frames to start a new one for this kind of the red-frames-problem.
    So my usual workflow is:
    Export a masterfile from Premiere via Mediaencoder as XDCAM OP1a 1080p5025fps.
    From that I generate various versions for my clientst directly in MediaEncoder. Almost only h264 in all different sizes.
    Since the update 3 days ago this doesn't work anymore. The h264 files that are made from the mxf have many red frames and mediaencoder reports errors like:
    : MXF read error "\\?\V:\xxxxx-1080p-XDCAMHD50PAL.mxf" frame 383.
    In a 3 minute clip 8 of those errors at differnet frames are reported. I suppose that is where the red frames are generated.
    Yesterdays update (the Audio Buzz fix) did not change the redframe problem.
    So I used my 2nd installation that was not updated for weeks. There everything works as expected.
    When I generate the MXF there, it's fine and h264 files are made from it without any problems.
    So I have a working MXD XDCAM OP1a 1080p 50 PAL25fps.
    That same file in the updated media encoder again gives many "MXF read errors". So it's obviously the Mediaencoder that cannot handle that (working) MXF file.
    I hope that helps the developers to get rid of that problem as soon as possible.

    We are having the same issue at our shop.  We have 8 suites, all are experiencing red flashes ever since we upgraded to 7.2.1.
    All the systems are Win7, and we've encountered red flashes with XDCam 35, XDCam 422 and Mpeg4 clips.  We haven't been to develop a workaround as the flashes occur in very inconsistent patterns.
    For example, just a moment ago an editor called me in because he was getting red flashes on his exports.  We went to his timeline, and the timeline was showing red flashes as well.  We deleted the clip (an XDCam 422 clip) from the bin, and re-imported it.  It played in the viewer fine with no flashes.  We put it on the timeline and again it played fine.  We exported the sequence directly out of Premiere as an XDCam 422 clip (delivery format needed for the client) and the exported file contained red flashes.  We went back to the timeline and it had red flashes, and the clip in question had red flashes when viewed directly! WTF?! 
    So we deleted the clip again, and re-imported it.  Played fine with no red flashes.  Put it on the timeline - no red flashes.  This time we exported the timeline as an AVC-I 100, and the exported file had no flashes.  As a test we went back and exported the timeline again as XDCam 422...and red flashes on the exported file, AND the timeline and original clip had red-flashes as well.
    Could it be something with XDCam and/or MPEG compressed clips in general?  We've only done one more test with AVC-I (which was successful) but I'm not confident enough yet to say that exporting as AVC-I is a consistent workaround.

    The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
    I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
    I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
    I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :

    Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
    Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
    I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
    I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
    After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
    1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
    2) Is this a transcoding problem?
    3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
    This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:

  • Adobe - Always Playing Catch-Up

    I found this clip, and though it interesting.
    >"As important as the release of the EX camera itself were several related announcements. Sony Media Software is offering new support for XDCAM with the IBC-timed release of Vegas Pro 8, its in-house NLE software. From across the convention hall floor, Apple noted that Final Cut Studio 2 would offer updates later this year to support XDCAM as well. And, finally, Grass Valley/Thomson announced that Edius Pro 4.5, coming in December, would also support Sonys format. Perhaps this will help put to rest any premature speculation from user groups about weak workflow support for early EX adopters."
    Now I'm not a big fan of GOP source material, so hoping Premiere will support XDCAM HD isn't my issue. The point is that a new prosumer level camera comes out in October, and by year's end, three of the five prosumer NLEs will have support for it's media.
    And here is Adobe, the second largest software company on the planet,
    four years after the introduction of DVCPro HD, just now adding support to it's NLE. Shame, Adobe! Shame!
    At this rate, AVC-Intra will have a replacement before Premiere gets to edit it.

  • Invalid Stream error?

    I've got a project edited in Premiere using an XDCAM-EX 1920x1080 29.97 timeline, with chapter markers set in PrPro, then brought into Encore via Dynamic Link (DL initiated from Encore). After building my menus, I went to go "build" my disc and got a transcode error simply saying "Invalid Stream" once it had reached the end of the transcode. So I tried transcoding each of two timelines manually before building the disc, and using AME to transcode instead of Encore. Got the same message. Encore's help and a google search of this forum didn't give me anything germaine to my issue.
    Anybody got any thoughts? I seem to be having loads of trouble with every Encore project I try anymore :-(

  • Premiere Pro CC won't import XDCAM EX files from the Sony PMW200 or PMW150

    I work for a company that recently upgraded to Premiere Pro CC from premiere Pro 6 after purchasing a Sony FS-7. This has worked great for viewing the files out of the FS-7, however I can no longer import the XDCAM EX files from our PMW200 camera that we had previously. CC just tells me they are unsupported or damaged.
    These files open fine on CS6 on the same computer, but not CC.
    Unfortunately we are in a transitional phase and we have projects that span across both the FS-7 and PMW200 and need to be able to edit with both the footage. Am I missing a driver or plug in for CC to help the software acknowledge this software?
    Thanks

  • XDCAM HD workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Macbook Pro

    Hi folks,
    I have an assignment for a TV production to secure and convert the data (mxf files XDCAM HD 422 1080i 50 / 50 Mbit/sec with 8 audio channels) from Sony XDCAM camcorders (PDW-700) for postproduction.
    The producer wants me to convert the mxf files during production to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for faster and smooth editing during postproduction.
    I'm not sure about the final output yet, but I guess it will be either 720p50 or 1080i 25, since the production will be broadcast and as far as I know this is the standard for HD on German television. It is also not clear which NLE will be used for editing (usually one of the producers edits their projects with FCP, but this time they've got their hands full and are still looking for someone to outsource postproduction.
    Unfortunately, my Macbook is getting fixed as we speak, so I can't try things out.
    Since this is the first time I'm doing this workflow, could someone please check if I got everything right?
    1. Can someone please confirm that I can actually convert the mxf files using AME CC to Apple ProRes 422?
    Or do I need to install any other tools/converters for this task? Does MPEG streamclip do the job? Any other freeware?
    2. When converting to Apple ProRes422, the producer suggested to deinterlace the footage (1080i 50) to 25p, if 720p or 1080p I have to find out tomorrow since our conversation got interrupted this afternoon.
    In my opinion this doesn't make sense, though. First, if output to 1080i 25 it has to stay interlaced anyway. Second, in case the output will be 720p 50 I would edit the footage either natively or in Apple ProRes 422, but leave deinterlacing until the very end when outputting to the final format. This way I could use an advanced deinterlacer, e.g. the one from Magic Bullet Suite, rather than just checking some deinterlace box in the export settings for Apple ProRes 422.
    The reason the producer suggested to deinterlace right away when using  an intermediate like ProRes was that she and the client got irritated by the jagged lines from the interlaced footage when editing the last project with the same requirements on a progressive display.
    3. What would be the best solution to tackle this issue (jagged lines) during editing?
    As I said my Mac is getting fixed, so I have no way of trying things out,and I usually edit DSLR footage which is progressive anyway.
    But if I remember correctly I can switch my monitor between 1080p and 1080i. This should do the trick, shouldn't it?
    4. Can I keep all of the 8 audio tracks when converting to ProRes using AME CC ?
    5. Is ProRes422 (HQ) really necessary, or is the regular quality sufficient for this kind of job?
    6. Let's assume the whole project would be edited within Adobe Premiere Pro CC and  system specs as stated below:
    Since Adobe Premiere Pro CC has native support for  XDCAM HD is there any advantage of using an intermediate like ProRes at all?
    How smooth is native editing with XDCAM HD in Premiere Pro CC? I don't think there will be more than 3-4 video tracks in use...
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Jim! I knew there must be a reason xdcam is widely uses for eng aquistion :) I think they used FCP 6 or 7 on their last project... So what about monitoring interlaced footage on a progressive screen? Any advice on that? Is there a converter built in to APP CC that deinterlaces in realtime when monitoring interlaced sources on a progressive screen? And would you agree that deinterlacing source material is best left right before outputting?

  • Premiere Pro 3.2 XDCAM EX "Codec Missing"

    I downloaded and installed Premiere Pro 3.2.0 a few days ago and I'm really excited about getting to work with footage from Sony's EX-3.
    I created a new project set for "XDCAM 1080 (HQ) 1080p" with a timebase of 23.976. The project opened up fine and when I opened the Import window the XDCAM files appear as Quicktime movies. I selected one and clicked "Import" but Adobe gives me an error message saying "A codec is missing or unavailable".
    I am running Adobe Premiere Pro 3.2.0 on Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 on a Toshiba laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 @ 2.00 GHz with 2GB RAM.
    Everything else works like a charm. DV footage, DVCPRO HD are no problem. But it won't import my XDCAM EX footage no matter what I do.
    Anybody got any suggestions?

    Do you mean you installed the UPDATE to what you had?
    It is not possible to download the actual program now, Adobe is selling CS4
