Premiere CS4 and Lagarith Codec Issue !

Gentlemen !
Windows 7 Ultimate
Premiere CS4
6GB Ram
I was working on a project using 720P footage and finished the project, then I sent it to AME to encode the output file to Windows AVI using lagarith Codec.
The final output AVI video plays perfect on my PC but when I took it to our satellite channel , we were getting the error code something like "Codec missing or needed to play this file "
I guess they try to download the Lagarith Codec , but for reason still didn't work and was displaying the same error.
Do you have any idea , which codec I can use , which can be more standard so their system can play it .
I was asked to provide them with .Mov (Quicktime) or Windows AVI file type !
Thanks !!

Ok Thanks again Benn !
Well, here is the situation.
My footage is HD 720p
My project and sequence settings match my source footage perfectly
I rendered my song for 2 different formats, once I rendered it for YouTube, which I used a YT preset from AME, and it plays perfect.
Now I have to have another version of this song in SD format, it could be Quicktime or Microsoft- Windows AVI.
I tried Miacrosoft AVI, the audio plays fine but the video is in Slow Motion, also out of sync with audio...
I tried Windows media , but the fina videol size is only 59MB
Any Help will be Appreciated !

Jerky Playback Premiere CS4 and Win 7?

Hey
I tried scanning through a bunch of posts to see if anyone else was getting a similiar issue, but couldn't find an answer.
I recently just upgraded my system :
Windows 7 64bit
Adobe CS4 suite
i7 920 processor
Asus P6T SE mobo
6gigs of RAM
ATI Radeon 4800hd graphics card
250gig 7200rpm OS and Prog Drive
640gig video Drive
300gig Scratch Drive
Fresh Install, not an upgrade.
Did all the win 7 and premiere updates and the ATI updates.
My problem is I have loaded up a project that I originally edited in CS3 premiere, loaded it into CS4, let everything load and index.
My playback is pretty jerky. My new system is way faster then my last setup and yet it is running very very poor.
The footage in question is DV footage. shot on DVX100b (24pa) I made sure and checked that CS4 imported it into a proper sequence and everything seems to be lined up properlly.
Am I doing something wrong?
I checked some HDV footage that wasnt playing on my previous set up, which now playsback in a premiere timeline on current setup.
Are there any codecs that I should download? I dont want to rape the system with random codecs and crap.
any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks everyone for pitching in. I didnt reply sooner because my deadline was
pressing hard. Finally managed to create output with CS4
. Also found that the reason my old PP1.5 was crashing was because I was trying to load a project that had already been saved out by me in CS4 What an idiot LOL I put it down to pressure.
But, on to the meat of the issue. First, in answer to an earlier question, yes once i have rendered a preview my monitor scrubs and plays properly however, Its totaly counter intuative to the way one edits a movie. the whole pre-rendering twaddle interferes with the creative process in my opinion. In PP1.5 even if sometimes a little scratchy a simple cross or additive dissolve would preview perfectly fine. This meant that the software didnt encroach upon what should be a transparent to the editor process. I come from 16 and 35mm film and video as a background and of course this stuff has come a long way since then, Im talking 1969 by the way.
But surely in so many ways PP CS4 is almost a monster step backwards.
If basic footage needs pre-rendering to work well in the time line, why isnt that an option at import time ? Then at least dissolves and the like would be the only thing the processors need to worry about if the basic image blitting to screen has been taken care of by what I imagine is some kind of proxy.
OK thats my 4 penneth as they say in my mother blighty.

CS4 and Canon HV40 issues

When I capture in HD on CS4 from my Canon Vixia HV40 the footage picks up some horizontal pixel mess ups. It doesnt happen when I capture in DV. But I've tried every HD setting on the Premiere file and on the camera. Don't know what to do. Help?

I've had similar issues like this-- i.e the lines you are seeing plus I get dropouts which in turn make the video and audio go out of sync when capturing HDV through firewire (Nice cam by the way! I have the sony version HC-9)
My only solution up to this point has been to just recapture that part of the footage and that usually fixes things- (but is a huge pain)
I tried cleaning the heads with a panasonic mini dv head cleaner but haven't gotten the time to capture anything since- when I do I will report back but it is always a good idea to give the head cleaning thing a shot.
Also since I have a Sony camera I use Sony mini DV tapes but I'm thinking I might have to upgrade to the more expensive version to avoid some of this dropout. That's the thing though I used these same tapes for DV and never had any issues with them- They are good quality tapes. It is frustrating to me that HDV has changed that
Please report back and let us know if any of this has helped
HDV users UNITE!

Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
Thank you,
Bob

Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
We have a ticket open with microsoft and our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Team

Premiere CS4 and AfterEffects 6.5, will it work??

I have premiere pro 1.5 and after effects 6.5. I now have a HD Sony camera and need to upgrade to premiere cs4.
i really don't use after effects all that much but hope too.
will the old after effects be useable with premiere cs4 or just a memory??
thanks for any insight you can provide
cheers
brian

After Effects as a stand alone program will still be plenty usable (assuming it supports the media from your new camera). What you won't get is Dynamic Link.

Compatible HDV formats between Premiere CS4 and AE CS4?

Sorry if this has been covered before.
I'm new to CS4 Production Premium, (but not Premiere in general), and I'm having trouble finding a compatible format that I can use between AE CS4 and Premiere CS4. I'm using 1080i HDV captured from a Canon XHA1.
Premiere CS4 reads it just fine, but I cant get it into AE.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
Andy

once I understood it was only a one way street per use.
It can be sort of two-way.

CS4 and CS5 Plugin Issue!

Having a major problem with Chameleon and CS4 and CS5. When I run the program out of CS4 or CS5:
1) The Grab Fragment seems to work.
2) When I open another photo and run Chameleon , Make Collage, I get
1. Unhandled exception! Crash dump saved to c:\users\public\documents\akvis\crashdump.
Please help! I’m running version 6.0.1253.3084-r
I now get amessage stating:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error.
App terminated in an Unusual way.
Contact app support
I used to run in CS4 however it does not run at all. I'm wondering if a Visual C file got corrupted.
Thanks,
Rudy

Without knowing exactly what the bug is in the Akvis code, I don't know.
But some third party plugins always need an update when new versions of Photoshop are released (especially those that try to modify Photoshop's UI).
We work hard to maintain plugin API compatibility, and most plugins work just fine in new versions, but there are always some problems to work out in third party plugin code.
(Macintosh plugins are going through a lot of problems in CS5 because we had to change the UI toolkit used, and many assumptions made by plugin UI code no longer hold)

Premiere CS4 and Audition / Soundbooth - Exporting Multitrack Audio

This seems like it should be a well-discussed topic, but I cannot find any difinitive answers on the matter.
What is the best way (if there is one at all) to export the audio portion of a video project with the intention of editing it in a proper auidio editing environment? (Assuming I do not want to bounce down to a single, stereo mix.)
My specific issue is this: I recorded a live concert using four cameras. I want the final audio to be a mix of the recording from the board and the mics in the various cameras. (The cameras offer a bit of room ambience and some crowd noise which the on-stage mics did not capture.)
My cameras do not accept a timecode input, so a lot of time was spent syncing up the four cameras' footage. Now I want to mix down the four cameras and the one from-the-board audio-only track. But Premiere Pro CS4's audio editing functions are a bit ... clunky? I do all my audio editing in Cakewalk's Sonar, but am willing to give Audition a try. But I can't figure out how to get all my audio files into the audio editing program without having to sink some time into re-syncing them.
Can I export as a multitrack .aiff or .wav? Then edit that package of tracks in my DAW, then re-export / import back into premiere? Has anyone tackled something like this before?
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

What are your exact steps to edit in SB or AU? Do you first Rt-click on the Audio Clip and choose Edit in SoundBooth (or Audition)? Do you Render and Replace (basically what happens with the previous method), and then Open that resulting file in SB, or AU?
From SB, or AU, how do you Save your file - exact steps please?
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere CS4 and .swf

Hello,
I was given a .swf file, the video shows an object in rotation. However, when I put into cs4, it reads as a still image and the video will not rotate. All I have is the .swf file, not the orginal project. Any ideas? Is it possible to open the .swf in Flas and export it as a avi or mov? The only solution I found was converting it to a .mov using a third party software, but I lose the alpha channel.
Thanks for all your help

I've successfully imported and edited SWFs in Premiere Pro, but I've seen the issue you're talking about, as it's happened to me several times before I found what was causing it. Make sure that in your Media Preferences (Edit > Preferences > Media) the option "Write XMP ID to Files on Import" is UNCHECKED. This option causes Premiere to write a bit of information into the header of any imported media file that helps the system track it. Unfortunately, this breaks SWF files--you'll actually need an original copy of the file because you can't fix the file once the damage is done. Hope you have backups!
If that option is already unchecked, post back...

Please help me ...premiere cs4 and hollywood fx

i'm try setup with vestions,but i don't see Pinnacle in premiere.

There WAS a way to change the file extensions for Hollywood FX, and that would work with certain versions of PrPro. Do not recall the version limitations, or the exact steps to take. Think that I have a bookmark someplace. If I can find it, I will post it. Maybe will work in CS4, but maybe stopped being viable with CS3 - just do not remember.
Good luck,

Premiere CS4 and HV30 (HDV 1080i 24p with 2-3 pulldown scheme)

Hi,
I am currently capturing video shot with an HV30. The footage was shot in HDV PF24 mode along with the CINE MODE selected. The results look great but I am wondering about the frame rate being reported per clip in CS4.
The project was setup using the HDV 1080p24 preset but I am guessing that could be wrong. I didn't see an HDV 1080i 24p preset but probably should have created one. The clips are showing in the bin as 29.97 and not showing 23.97 like the Sequence. I know the camera recorded the 24p in a 60i wrapper but I thought the preset would have covered that. When I select interpret footage the remove pulldown isn't available.
Is there anything I should have done differently? or is there anything I need to do at all?
I have shot with the HV20 and CS3 in the past without this being a problem.
ideas? or kind pushes in the right direction :)
Thanks
-Ken

I am not sure about PAL. I can tell you I am not having sync issues with my setup.
I will try the HDV 60i preset. Does anyone else have input about the HV30? I would be interested in hearing what others have experienced with the camera and CS4 or CS3 for that matter.
Thanks

Premiere CS4 and Panasonic Mxf Capture

Hi
I am trying to capture the MXF footage off a Panasonic HVX200E camera but am having no success.
The camera ckeeps coming up with the text '1394 Device Disconnect'. Meaning that it hasn't achieved a connection to the PC. I find this strange as Premiere can capture from the tape but not the cards.
PC Mode is set to 1394Device.
Has anyone done this and if so, is there anything that I am missing to get the files to import into Premiere ?
Thanks
N

Presets work fine except when shooting 24p 24pa. You have to 'interpret footage' and deal with interlacing in the preview. Don't worry though 'just a few extra clicks'. In premiere you can lasso the bunch and do it all at once but not in AE. Decide to add a clip later in the edit 'Interpret Footage'. When you bring CS3 comps into CS4 the files framerates are correct, this just for new projects. Oh yeah except in After Effects, old project or next 'Interpret' each clip.
But hey at least you don't have to 'Interpret' each clip when mixing different media formats right?

PROBLEM EDITING AUDIO BETWEEN PREMIERE CS4 AND AU OR SB

I have to rebote premiere to see the wave.
What could be happening?
could you help me, please?
Excuse me for my english, I speak spanish.

Issues rendering Premiere CS4 movie with Media Encoder

I'm new to this but thought that someone might be able to provide some insight. I have Premiere CS4 and created a movie from a HD video camcorder.
The imported clips are in the following format:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Average Data Rate: 1.3 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Now I'm simply trying to export the movie (Ctrl+M) using Media Encoder. I've been messing around with several different formats, including H264, MPEG and AVI and so far regardless of what output format I pick (even downsize) I'm getting some sort of "tearing" up in my clips. I'm not entirely sure how to describe this but it almost looks like a ghost effect with subjects leaving a ghost image when the scene starts moving around a bit.
I rendered the same exact clip using Windows Movie Market just for the sake of it and everything looks fine.
I'm rendering the clip on a Core i7 920 @3.7Ghz with 6GB of RAM so I don't think the speed is an issue as either (HD is a 300GB Velociraptor).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong
Thanks,
Sam

>Any ideas what I am doing wrong
Second thing wrong is posting in this forum. People in the Premiere forum will do a better job of offering help This forum is dedicated to helping people with suite-wide issues such as installation.

Canon XH G1s and Premiere CS4

I just bought a Canon XH G1s and tried to transfer some footage to Premiere. It would not allow me to view the footage while importing, even though it did import (with some problems on a few of the clips, like saying that one clip had been captured at 110 fps). I am using a new G5 with Premiere CS4, and am hoping that the camera is compatible. I would hate to think I spent $7,000 for a camera that won't work with CS4's Premiere Pro. Yikes! Any help would be appreciated.

Thats correct no image in the capture screen while capturing.
You could use HDVSplit instead, which also does scene splitting which Premiere doesn't.
