Premiere CC - No playback on HD clips with various effects applied.

Hi,
In Premiere CC recently i've been having trouble playing back clips in my projects with effects applied, in this specific case, FilmConvert and Magic Bullet Looks. If I apply the standard Adobe effects, everything seems to work fine.
Now I know this doesn't sound like a premiere issue, but thousands of people use these software packages and i don't see why my setup is any different. If I disable the effects, the video plays back fine. When I enable the effects, the video doesn't play at all, it just stays on the last frame of the previous non-effected clip.
This is in a very large project, it's for a feature length documentary so there are many types of footage, most of what I am applying the effects to are ProRes or AVCHD files.
System:
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Intel i7 4770k 3.5ghz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 780
32gb Ram
Samsung 840 SSD as system drive
Western digital black's as footage drives
Mercury Playback (cuda) is enabled in premiere.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I would expect your system to handle those effects without too much difficulty. Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas about what the hang up might be.
You could try resetting preferences.

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

White lines around texts with object effects applied

I am having a persistent problem with InDesign's output of PDFs when I have applied object effects to text boxes.
When I use an effect—such as emboss (shown in samples) or outer glow—on a text box, the PDF renders it with white lines around the text boxes (sometimes with more than one).
See the attached samples; the boxes are clearly visible with a 3rd party PDF viewer, such as Skim; less so with Acrobat Pro, but still there. It's there when I open the PDF in Photoshop, as well.
I've tried playing with transparency flattening settings, and with merging the layers into a single layer. No help.
The sample shown has an emboss effect applied, transparency flattening set to high resolution (ignoring style overrides), and a single merged layer.
Any help?
In Acrobat Pro:
In Photoshop:
In Skim:

Thanks so much, Bob.
My printer requires that I use the PDF/X-1a:2001 standard for PDF export, which means that it must be Acrobat 4 or later compatibility.
Also: I don't see how to NOT flatten, when exporting PDF for print; the options for flattening are "low resolution," "medium resolution," or "high resolution"—but there is not an option to NOT flatten. Do you know a work-around for this?

Audio won't play after replacing the video clip with after effects composition?

I am using CS5. Still new to this stuff so let me know if you need extra info. None of the faq guides have been helpful.

The audio is still in the project, but won't play in the canvas... this was solved by Richardttt... see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1491870&tstart=0
I tried this and it works but still don't know why it happened: Under Object Menu, select Unsolo>Video Only.

Finding all clips with a specific effect applied? (CS6)

I'm just wrapping up a long (2-hour) multi-cam edit and applied the warp stabilizer effect on several clips in the project. As I was skimming the video marking chapters, I discovered some of the clips with that effect had the blue "Analyzing (Step 1)" bar across the clip. Not sure why it didn't complete the analysis and stabilization on those clips originally, but I reran the analysis/stabilization effect and those clips are clean now.
However, I'm worried I might have missed other instances of the "blue bar" in my skimming. Is there a way to search and find all clips in my timeline that I applied the warp stabilizer effect to so I can check them all?
Thanks.

Not exactly.
Any clips with an effect applied have a purple line through them. But you'll have to click the clip to see which effects are used.

Compressor encoded speed change clip with echo as motorboat sound

Took me two days to troubleshoot, through trial and error and process of elimination, why Compressor encoded an audio clip that had been speed changed and echo applied to it -- as rapid MOTORBOAT sound! Project is a 5.1 mix. Since STP3 won’t accept speed change clips, after I completed mix in STP I placed speed changed clips on FCP timeline below the exported STP 5.1 mix with the FCP audio tracks for that clip assigned to channels 1 & 2 for the fronts and channels 5 & 6 for the rears. The clip on 5 & 6 was duplicated and identical in every way to the clip on channels 1 & 2. Only the dupe clip on 5 & 6 did Compressor encode as motorboat. The identical clip on 1 & 2 encoded correctly. Both clips were set to play at same time since I wanted the effect to be on fronts and rears simultaneously. I could not get the motorboat sound to play back from either FCP timeline or Compressor preview window. Only after encode and burn to DVD did it show up. Why would Compressor introduce such artifacts on one of the clips and not both – if it’s going to do it at all – which it shouldn’t? Any ideas? I have other such effects throughout the project where I duped a speed changed clip with an effect applied to it and set it to play on fronts and rears simultaneously and Compressor encoded those correctly.

Well, it's a little late, but this is one of the reasons to have your startup drive cloned so you can restore it to a working state if an update, upgrade or install sends things south.

Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences

If this doesn't fix the problem, you could try sending the shot to motion. You could aslo try changing the speed in the motion tab of the viewer.

Does version 12 support producing video clip with AMR audio codec?

From some documents i used as reference to proceude some videos for my phone Premiere Elements 8 can produce video clips with AMR audio codec. I bought today the Premiere elements 12 but I can not find a way to set AMR audio codec for my video clip. Only AAC audio codec seems available. Is it possible to add AMR codec to 12 version?

Neurona17
Adobe typically supports only current version, and, if you purchased from it, is strict on "within 30 days of purchase": for money back on that current version purchase. I do not believe such a thing as a "change the license for other earlier release such as 8 or 9" exists at Adobe. But, you could ask. If you wish to purchase one of those earlier versions that supports AMR export, you might still find some online.
Is the before import conversion of AMR to WAV a viable alternative?
You wrote
Unfortunately so far I have not been able to generate any useful video clip for my system with this 12 version.
Is this in regard to the AMR requirement or to any video without the AMR audio?
Online I have seen that there is a download for the AMR audio codec. Does your system now show that you have such a codec installed on your computer. If not, I am not sure if download of this codec would place it in the Premiere Elements Publish+Share export settings choices, similar to import of some .avi video codecs. (Sometimes 3rd party codecs can create problem, so proceed with caution if you pursue that AMR audio codec idea.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.

Sound clip level lowers when effect applied??

Hi Everyone.
Does anyone know why it is that the sound level contained within a clip lowers substantially after the clip has an effect applied to it (such as Brightness/Contrast?)
Is there a fix???
I think I asked this question about 2 years ago... and I believe the answer was sitting on Dansangle site. I just checked but I cannot find it!
help?!?! please!?!
Nick.

Issues with replacing clip in Premiere with After Effects composition

So basically, i want to track a title to a piece of footage, so i've made my ins and outs and my footage is placed on my timeline in premiere with my title over top. Now I select the two pieces in premiere (the title and the clip) and I hit replace with after effects composition, and it ADOBE does it's thing etc.
but now in my AE project window I have two copies of my title file and two copies of my mp4 clip.
two of them are pre loaded into my timeline and the appropriate ins/outs which is perfect but I can't seem to do anything like tracking to them,
in my project window AE is referring to the ones that show up in the timeline as "compositions" while the extra files that aren't in the timeline are "mp4" and "psd" (the actual file types)
now. if i just delete the two "compositions" that are masquerading as files in my timeline and drag down my mp4 / psd then my tracking becomes available and all is wonderful
EXCEPT
my in's and out's from premiere aren't there and I have to go about all of that all over again and it's very annoying
any ideas?

Copy that! Thanks for the help as it is!
I'll likely have to do as you suggested in the interest of my turnaround but if anyone else out there has any suggestions for my original question of utilizing the dynamic link between PP and AE without the issue mentioned I'd be super stoked!

Premiere Pro CC 2014 ram preview or MPEG2 output is clipped with black on lower third

On my System Win 8.1 X64 Premiere Pro CC 2014 ram preview or MPEG2 output is clipped with black on lower third.
Premiere Pro CC had no problem, but as I upgraded to CC 2014 this problem revealed.
I clean installed Win 8.1 and Premiere Pro CC 2014, but the problem exist.
Please Help me reveal and solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Premiere Pro CC Update - Merge clips with audio works

Nice to be able to merge master audio with a clip using the audio merge option. Tried one video clip with master audio to see if the update fixed the bug and yes it did. Thanks to the guys in the back room at Adobe.

Just came on here to post about the buzzing transitions, glad to see it's been fixed already!
Another thing though I don't see mentioned, since moving to 7.2 I find audio playblack is out of sync while editing, and in some clips significantly more noticeably than others. This only happens during playback, if I pause and scrub manually, the audio is perfectly in sync. This actually messed up a project for a client. I thought the audio off the camera was out of sync in one segment so I bumped it a few frames before exporting. Didn't check it after of course and sent him the file, then got a reply back that it was out of sync in that spot. Check the exported video and sure enough, he was right. Check it again in project but it looks in sync. So I bump the audio back in the timeline so that it LOOKS out of sync again during playback, but the new exported video is perfectly in sync!
Editing a TV show now with hundreds of clips and it's maddening with some looking fine, some looking a little off, and some looking completely off and having to manually scrub to check and be sure along the way.
Hopefully this is also fixed in this update..will see tomorrow.

Mat,
I'm sure you've figured it out.
I don't know how you got two separate source clips - you should have a sequence (comp) and the footage in the project window (bin window) for each In your comp, the tracking can be done by selecting the layer in that comp.
And - you've probably already figured it out that you needed those comps so they could dynamically link back to PremierePro easily.
If you have any Ae/Pr questions - I'm going to try to be in this forum more. I love this stuff.

Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects?

Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects? It's never done this before, but this is driving me nuts. I'm almost finished with this project, I can't have this kind of stuff happening now.

Forgive me. I'm just stressing hardcore at the moment.
Specs:
OS X 10.9.4
2.8 GHz intel
Premiere 5.5
exporting cell phone video which has been treated with effects and layered with other clips from cell phone video, then nested as one single video clip, now trying to export as H.264 (DV 24fps)
Full disclosure: I am an amateur so if you need more info just tell me and I'll produce it if I can. I should note though, I've done this before with no problem. However the settings may have been different (still getting the hang of the whole 'settings' thing, to be honest). It's very possible that the problem in this case is the operator, in other words.

Premiere Pro CS6 playback freezes, regenerates .pek and .cfa files

When I try to watch something in a sequence, the Program Monitor freezes. The playhead moves in the timeline as usual and the audio plays just fine, but the visual freezes. Sometimes it stops a few seconds after I start playing and sometimes the video never plays at all. When I stop playback, it remains frozen for a while, then resets to the frame the playhead is on.
As I checked different options, I discovered Premiere is regenerating both the .pek and .cfa files every time I open it, even though all of my projects have already conformed. I have it set to store the media files with the project, so I know the preview files have not moved or been deleted. I work on this setup 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and nothing changed since I was in yesterday. It was working fine when I shut it down last night, no one could have logged in while I was gone, and this morning it doesn't work. No updates were installed, no files were moved, no drives switched.
I have searched the internet for help, but all of the forums I've found are at least two months old and recommend installing the 6.0.3 update. I did run updates for all my Adobe software, and it didn't help. I also deleted and re-rendered my peak and cfa files.
One six-month-old forum said that Premiere CS6 cannot playback long AVCHD .m2ts files. Previously I had no problem working with .m2ts files 35 minutes and shorter, or with .mp4 files up to 75 minutes long. The video I'm currently working with is about 75 minutes long. And again, it was working fine yesterday.
Further investigation revealed that playback does not freeze when I import a selection from the Source Monitor (vs. importing from the Bin and trimming in the Timeline) and do not layer clips or apply effects.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Media Spec:
File type: AVCHD Video
Resolution: 1920x1080 (1080p), 29 fps

Graphics card is Quadro 5000, driver 276.19

I've tried several more things.
The playback does not freeze if I have only one clip in the timeline.
If I have clips on two or more video tracks, it starts freezing.
Once I clear it down to one video track, it takes a couple of seconds (up to 30) to start playing normally again.
Sometimes I can play two tracks for several minutes before it freezes. Sometimes it freezes immediately.
When I open Premiere, I get the "Media Pending" screen for way longer than usual.
I have rebuilt the peak and cfa files, no difference. GPU accelerator is enabled. The latest Adobe updates are installed.
I see a few other forums with similar problems but no solution.
No settings, file formats, or file locations have changed since Monday (the last time CS6 was working properly). After a lot of digging around I found that a Windows Defender Definition update was installed the morning of the day PP started freaking out. I can't get rid of this update.
I edit two or more hours of footage per day. They are lectures, so they are recorded in 1-3 hour chunks. I use two videos simultaneously--one with the professor's powerpoint presentation, and one of the professor. I keyframe the PPT video into the corner, overlaid over the lecturer. I did this for years without problem in CS5.5 and for two months without problem on my current setup.

Playback of any clip crashes CS 5.5

I have been using adobe premire pro cs 5.5 for months and it has worked flawlessly. Now, when i try to do some edditing today, every time i try to play any clip on the timeline the program crashes, no error message, just the windows message: "adobe premire pro cs 5.5 has stopped working". sometimes the audio of the clip will play for about 2 seconds before the crash but the video never plays. i cannot think of any reason why the program would stop working so randomly. i am using windows 7 64 bit if that helps

What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
                         -not sure where to find minor version number but ive installed all updates so i think its the newest version of 5.5
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)Yup
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".Windows 7 64 bit
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".MTS footage
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
                    a windows box appears that says: "windows premire pro cs5.5 has stopped working. a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avalible
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
                    Just trying to use playback on a clip i dropped into the timeline
Has this ever worked before?
                 -Yes the program was working fine before today
What other software are you running?None
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?no
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).Intel core 2 duo, i have a nvidia GeForce 9700M GTS graphics card. not sure if you need anymore info since it was working on this system before
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?no
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?with previews as far as i can tell
