Premiere CS 5.0.3 problem export to tape via firewire

hi
My problem is that i can't able to export a sequence into a tape dv by firewire
I use premiere cs5.0.3, matrox rtx2hd, win 7 and a sony hvr-M15J
I've not problem to IMPORT tape from a matrox sequence neither from a premiere sequence but I CAN'T export to tape (i use firewire connecting my hvr-15j to matrox rtx2)
My workflow
I create a premiere sequence, the device control is online, in sequence setting>Playback setting i set DV 25i (720 x 576) but when i start to export to tape my sony hvr start to rec, timecode going on but it's all black and no audio
i try different setting in playback setting but nothing change, what's the problem?
Device control is online but maybe i have to change setting ofsony hvr-M15j ? The strange thing is that I've not problem to import dv tape
please help me
thanks

Matrox has no bearing on this - RTX2 just passes video through. It uses Adobe settings for capture and export.
Make sure your playback settings reflect what you are trying to export. Try this:
1. External Device set to DV, etc.
2. Audio button set to "External Device Audio"
3. External Device set to your DV device, not None.
4. MPE set to software only in the Project panel.

Export Safari bookmarks via FireWire target disk mode?

FYI There is NO "export bookmarks" in my Safari File, as there should be.
I need to export my Safari bookmarks via firewire from a G4 to a G5. BUT I can't find anyway to export them. Please help!

What I believe Hawaiian_Starman ment, is once you have the G4 drive mounted on the G5 you can transfer files. It's easy to do this by FireWire Target Disk Mode. The drive will show up with the FW symbol. At that point just copy the old bookmark file into your home directory:
copy "FW Hard Drive"/Users/{username}/Library/Safari/bookmarks.plist to ~/Library/Safari/
Where "FW Hard Drive" is the name of the external drive on the desktop. {username} is your old username on the external drive. ~ is you home directory on your internal hard drive.
Make sure you have Safari quit before copying the bookmark file over.
Also if you want to network the two computer together just on a temporary basis, just plug in an ethernet cable between the two. Have both computers booted up. On the G4, (the computer you want to to copy files from) open the System Preferences and turn on Personal File Sharing. On the G5, Select Network from the Go menu. You should see the G4 listed in "My Network" I believe. Just log in and start copying whatever files you need.
Personally, I use Firewire as it's easier and you don't need to worry about file permissions.

Export a file to DV tape via Firewire?

Can I export a DV file, or for that matter any file, onto a DV tape via the 1394 Firewire port? This may sound strangely retro, but I'd like to try using DV tape as a backup for some irreplaceable files. I envision getting a MiniDV deck or camcorder to use as a tape drive backup. The background issue is the possibly short lifespan of home-burned DVDs and CDs and even hard drives.

You want to use your camera to store files that are currently stored on your Mac, right? Any file, not just a DV file. Your goal is NOT to export a DV file to the camera as video. Rather, you want to export it is a data file you can someday re-import to your Mac's hard disk. Right?
I recall a conversation here long ago about third-party software that exported files to a camera as you describe. Sorry, I don't recall its name. It was a guy who had written it, if I recall, not a commercial software company.
I'd be very, very careful relying on such a method to store files. Perhaps it can be done reliably, I don't know, but I'd be very careful.
I'm more familiar with software that stores Mac backups on a variety of media, including DAT tapes using a DAT tape drive. Retrospect, the commercial backup application, is one such application. Backups stored on tape can be very reliable, but it relies on very reliable, carefully tested software.
Retrospect stores the backup files in a Retrospect-readable format. The tape catalog Retrospect stores on our hard disk tells Retrospect where to retrieve the files from the tape. As we retrieve those files, Retrospect converts them back into Mac files.
Keep in mind that data files must stored perfectly on the tape. If just one byte off, the file may be garbage. With video, a tiny error probably won't be seen in the image played at 30 frames per second. We don't notice one blue pixel that plays red. But in a data file, the error could be catastrophic.
A better solution may be to buy a big, cheap hard drive. Or two, for redundancy.

Problem with image capture via firewire from sony camcorder TRV20E

I'm new to premiere pro. Have checked compat. of camcorder with PProCS3 and am told by Adobe technical team it is ok. So what am I not doing? I've followed the on-line help but still no video. It must be in the settings PLEASE can someone offer me some pointers. I've gone back to the Preferences - Device Control - options and having not found the model of the camcorder I've put the settings back to the default - but that made no difference.
I'm working on a Mac and have even tried opening the camcorder in i-movie but it doesn't pick up the connection from the camcorder. Is this an oh so simple thing I'm missing? I'm really stuck and would really appreciate some feedback. Thank you

Susan,
Several folk have had issues with Capture from a myriad number of cameras. As Matthew noted, his Capture worked with a certain sequence. Others have noted different sequences, that worked for them.
Sequences to try:
1.) Plug in camera (iLink) and turn it on. Start PP and then Capture
2.) Plug in camera, but do NOT turn it on. Start PP, then Capture, then turn camera on
3.) Start PP, plug in camera, turn it on, then start Capture
4.) Start PP, plug in camera, but do NOT turn it on. Start Capture, then turn on camera
It would be great if all cameras worked exactly the same way, but it seems that they do not.
One note: if your iLink cable is a powered cable make sure that the camera is turned off, BEFORE you plug in the cable. With a powered cable, I make sure that the device is both off and its power cord is not attached. Too many fried IEEE-1394 sockets can result from having the computer on and the device on. Do not make this mistake. This is for the powered IEEE-1394 cables - the ones with the "U" shaped, large plugs. Please read this paragraph again, if you have a powered cable, or read the specs to see if you do. Most camera IEEE-1394 connections are not powered, but make sure first!
I'd even suggest that you do a search of the Premiere forums, not just CS3, and plug in "Firewire," "iLink," "cable" and read.
As for sequences that worked with certain camera models, Jim Simon posted several articles on his findings. I think that Steven Gotz did, as well.

IMovie 08 import problem from Canon ZR500 via Firewire DV cable

I have the device hooked up. The import window can control the camcorder (play, stop, rew, etc.). But, when I do PLAY, no image displays on the iMovie import screen. So, it is not importing anything. Why is this? Connectivity is good, but no image transfer. I can see the image on the screen of the camcorder, but not on my iMac. What's up? Any ideas?

Hi Bruce
There can be so many things to this: Most common to omitt.
• Camera defective - test on another Mac (when the A/D-chip is blown it behaves exactly as You describe)
• FireWire Cable faulthy - most common origin to this (can't figure why there are so many bad cables out there)
• Test Your Mac with another Camera - eventually re-set the FW-port (on big Macs by disconnecting
mains for 10 - 30 minutes on PBs I don't know)
I've got an old killingly long list if this doesn't help.

Problems loading DVCPRO HD via firewire

Have the capture settings changed in FCP6 from FCP5. Trying to capture DVCPROHD thru firewire, which I have done many times before and can not get audio or video. I can control the deck however. My capture settings are set to DVCPROHD720_60 and I am getting nothing!

Grab the deck manual.
Reset the deck to default. Then you'll have to switch it from 1080i to 720p...but then you should be set.
OH...before you do that, make sure that VIDEO OUT from the deck is being sent via firewire...it has many options.

Premiere Pro CS5 Not exportting to tape on TWO different Computers!!! HELP

I had a prior post in january with a new desktop having problems exporting to tape. when it would export a blue screen would come up at random times breaking up the recording. almost like the camera was losing signal with the computer.
Im capturing and exporting using a Canon XHG1 HDV camera.
Both the Laptop (sony vpcf11x) and Desktop (custom with intel sandybridge motherboard) can CAPTURE tapes fine. but export causes problems on BOTH machines.
Both of my computers (a laptop and desktop use the Intel i7 chipset.
I have a Third desktop (gateway something or other) that ive been using Sony Vegas to Export to tape and it WORKS EVERYTIME! with the same Camera and Firewire Cable.
Itried installing Sony Vegas onto the new Desktop to export and I get the SAME problem that I get with Exporting with Premiere.
has anyone else heard of these problems? it is really starting to irritate me. with everything ive done, it has to be something with Adobe. how can i have the same problem on two different computers?

Here are more specific information with my system and settings for you to see. I also included a video of my workflow and showing you what exactly is happening on export.
Project Settings:
Capture Format DV
Video Rendering and Playback: Mercury Playback Engine Software only
Sequence Settings:
DV NTSC
29.97 fps
720x480
Aspect Ratio 16:9
30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Playback Settings:
Desktop Video Display during playback checked box
External Device: DV_29.97 720x480i
Aspect Ration Conversion: Hardware Only
External Device Audio
Export: external device DV: 29.97 720x480i
Disable video output when in the background is not checked
Export to tape settings:
Activate recording device is checked
assemble timecode, delay movie start, and preroll _ frames (none are checked)
abort after _ dropped frames (not checked)
report dropped frames (not checked)
render audio before video (is checked)
I render out the video to one file (on my desktop).
then import the clip into a new sequence with the above settings.
file>export>tape>
then it begins recording and drops out like the camera loses signal.
this is really frusterating.

Problems exporting- only creates 3/4 minutes out of whole movie

When I try to export my movie to AVI using expert settings, (full quality, DV PAL), it only makes a movie of the first 3 or 4 minutes. I need the whole thing!! Why is it not exporting the whole movie? Please help!!!

Hi
Can it be so ?
That You try to export Your QT.mov file out from iMovie onto an external hard disk
or even worse to an USB-memory ?
If so
a. Need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended
b. If Mac OS Extended - the Windows PC will not open it
c. USB-memory (thumbs/sticks) are way to slow to work
I would
a. Export out from iMovie onto a miniDV tape via FireWire and Camera
b. On PC - import this
Result 100% quality

PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

Dear Sir,
I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
What can i do ??
Denis.

Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

Problems exporting Premiere Pro with SWFs in as .mov files.

Hi,
I'm not the most competent with Premiere and am having a few problems exporting my final movie.
I am having problems with an animation (Screen size: 1024 x 576) I am producing; I've produced all the animation in Flash then exported the files as SWFS, and want to composite it in Premiere and export it as Quicktime Movie (H.264), as this seems to give the best image quality for the final movie. All the SWFs export from Flash and import into Premiere fine, and in the main the SWFs export fine from Premiere, however a few of the SWFs don't export into the final finished movie, leaving just a blank screen, and others only partially export, either stopping halfway through the shot or exporting with some of the layers from the SWF missing. I've tried re importing the files but I still encounter the same problems.
Can anyone shed any light onto where I may be going wrong and what I can do to get the entire movie to export fully? Or if there is a better way of exporting the files from Flash to a final finished movie?
If you need any other information let me know,
Many thanks
Josh

Hmmm...
I did a quick test in your behalf with a test project with and without "alpha glow" applied to all of the media.
The results were actually kind of strange:
- export to .mp4 utilized all cores (6-core box w/ Hyperthreads) with a smooth 82% utilization for the whole export; memory usage (also from task manager) went up and once it hit a maximum, it stayed there
- export to .mp4 with "alpha glow" applied -> CPU usage started out pretty good, then memory usage maxed out and then actually cam down; after a bit, the CPU usage stabilized at around 22%, or about 25% of what it had been at the start of the export
Smells to me like an Adobe bug or design-flaw.
Anyway, good luck with your testing.
I totally agree with Bill's suggest to do a full PPBM7 test on your new rig and report the scores back here - and to the PPBM7 site of course. This will help you to have confidence in your new hardware and setup. Once your hardware and configuration (for Win7, drive caching, Premiere settings, etc.) are working fine, then your particular workflow, etc. can be a separate troubleshooting step.
Good luck!
Regards,
Jim

Problem exporting in Premiere Pro

I have recently installed CS4 and I'm having problems exporting my files. The video media encoder opens up with the files in the list but the source name is looking to the wrong place so cannot start the job and I cannot work out how to change it.
I can change the export file option. I'm sure there must be a simple answer.
Can anyone help I have just reinstalled Premiere Pro CS3 in desperation!!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Actually my point was more that learning the basics of video production is reeeeeally a good idea before trying to use professional software... First learn, then do. Don't try and skip step one and then expect us to fill in the gaps.
Many of the consumer-oriented NLE programs have greater latitude for file formats/CODEC's, especially the "consumer-oriented" formats/CODEC's.
Jim/Hunt,
Yes, I do agree with both of you that the concept of video editing needs to be learned first, not just buy Premiere thinking you can slap a movie together, then scream out how to do "this one thing" (those who do don't realize there's 129 other "things" that follow behind). When I bought Premiere for my 5D2, I spent a solid month reading and watching tutorials about VIDEO, inhaling all I could about timebase and color spaces and NTSC standards and data rates and compression and i vs. p and frame rates and... you get the idea. After THAT is when I watched 21 hours of Premiere video training, and it all made sense (imagine that). So I understand the frustration when someone asks a question that shows they haven't built the foundation under the house. Maybe it's better to tell them what you told me, that they've bitten off more than they can chew, but encourage them to go learn the foundations. Hmmm, I have to admit, that seems so huge that in order to get the immediate task done they should probably... just fire up a consumer app. OK, you're vindicated!
I would suggest to all newcombers (and even the girl who started the thread) that you spend $25 for a one-month subscription at Lynda.com, and start with this set of training: http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourseN.aspx?lpk2=152
There should be enough time left in the month to then go through the Lynda.com Premiere courses. Then they can get the Pr Classroom in a Book and also move on to Adobe.tv, and if by the end of that they are still struggling, maybe cuttin' frames isn't for them, at least on a pro level.
Last thought: I know Photoshop inside and out, and when I hear people buy the real McCoy and then state that they'll just open it up and dink around and figure it out, my laughter sometimes hits hyperventilation stage.

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
thanks

Two questions:
1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?
Cheers

Problem exporting uncompress AVI

Problem exporting uncompress AVI. The output file will have in-between frames that appear like this:
Help!

Thanks for response! It's not the player's problem (it's mpc btw), I import it into Premiere for post editing and it's disaster to see the failed rendering.
Mmm need time/Everest to find out the system info. Generally render setting is just straightforward AVI lossless/best quality with no codec assigned.

Can't export to tape - Premiere Pro CS3

I'm using Vista 64 bit and haven't noticed other problems. The file is not HD.
Export to Tape is grayed out in Premiere and other programs. Should I be able do the export even so, if everything is set up right? I'm going through a Sony DSR-11 to VHS. I set the DSR-11 to record (with no tape in it) as well as the VCR. When I put in a VHS tape with video on it, it shows up on TV, but when I try to come in from Premiere, the screen is blue and shows the time elapsed if I play the blank tape or try to record on it. And nothing gets recorded.

Basically what you are doing is a D-A (Digital to Analog) passthru with your Sony, right? I'm not familiar with that camera, but if the manual does not cover D-A operation, you might try placing a blank tape in the camera. If that has no effect, you might try placing the camera in Play Mode. Different cameras behave differently. That's why I mentioned the manual. It *might* have instructions for doing the passthrough operation, though more often, one is doing an A-D passthrough.
Also, does this camera offer passthrough? Many UK/Euro models have this feature disabled, an a lot of mfgr's are omitting it entirely.
Good luck, and please let us know if you find the exact scheme to do the direct D-A transfer.
Hunt
PS One could record to miniDV tape, and then Play to the VHS recorder. Downside - uses a tape and takes twice as long, but might get you to the VHS in less time than tracking down the exact sequence to do it via passthrough.

Exporting to tape PAL problem

Hi all.
I am trying to export a timeline to tape from premiere pro CS4 to my Canon XL-2 camera.
The timeline settings are DV PAL, 25 fps, 16:9 aspect ratio, lower field first. I live in Australia and therefore have a PAL camera.
These are the settings that I used when using CS3 and exporting to tape was fine. The export process seems to run fine but when I review the tape there is nothing but black.
Premiere pro can control and capture from my camera fine, but when I try exporting it seems to show that it is working but results in nothing being taped.
I am running windows vista 64 bit, 4GB ram with a q6600 processor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

PROBLEM RESOLVED:
By fiddling with the device control properties the problem was resolved. Though I am not sure which setting corrected the problem, it may have been changing the device type from generic to canon XL1S (which is very similar to the XL-2).
