Premiere CS4 - Exporting to Quicktime prores?? Help!!

Hi there,
I am still a relative novice when it comes to all the exporting formats/codecs out there. I have been asked by a client to deliver files for broadcast in the Quicktime prores format... I tried to find it in Premiere but couldn't. My footage is 1440x1080 29.97fps filmed on a Canon XH-A1 and captured through HDV Split.
What do I do??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

>captured through HDV Split
You don't mention (you should!) but are you on Windows?
If Windows, I don't think you can export to Apple Prores

Premiere CS4 - Export is Fuzzy, Display is Clear - need help

I'm on a MacBook Pro, and running Premiere Pro CS4.
I need to export a Quicktime (.mov) with h.264 at 1280 x 720.
This is a quick edit, so I'm just piecing together a .PNG photo (opening), another .mov file (the main file), and then a closing graphic (that is also .mov).
So, the main file is 1280 x 720, FPS is 23.98. The video is clear and crisp. When I import into my project, the video is also clear and perfect.
The closing graphic is similar size, but FPS is 29.97. It's a .mov file.
These are the project settings:
Editing Mode: Desktop
Timebase: 29.97 frames/second
Frame size: 1280 x 720
Square Pixels
Progressive Scan
Display format: 30 fps Dro-Frame Timecode
Video Preview: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
In my timeline and in the monitor, everything looks crisp and clean. And when I export the file, I have it set at 1280 x 720 Quicktime H.264. (Progressive Scan, 29.97) The preview looks crisp and clear. But after I export it, in the edited version, the video is fuzzy. The words on the opening slate are fuzzy.
And the end slate does not render properly. There are lines that run across it and it's very pixalated.
I'm new at Adobe Premiere. So I am a beginner at all this. If you could help me figure out what I am doing wrong, I'd be grateful.

Need help with Premiere CS4 Export...

I currently shoot HD video with a Canon Vixia HF S10 digital camcorder (link goes to Canon's site). I shoot at the highest quality available, MXP 24 Mbps (1920x1080). When I bring the video over to my machine, it comes over as an .mts file which is the AVCHD file format (link goes to Wikipedia article on the format). I import these .mts files into Adobe Premiere (CS4). I import them into a AVCHD 1080p30 (29.97) Sequence. I do my editing, adding title screens, music, whatever. The problem comes when I go to export the final product into a usable format. I've tried all different sorts of formats to export to and I can't get any usable results. If I select, for instance, H.264 HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (a preset within Premiere) the video comes out extremely choppy...as in the audio will play and the video will hitch along and be mostly out of sync dropping whole sections of the video as it tries to catch up.
My end goal is to be able to export two versions...a higher quality (maybe burned to a DVD or Blu-Ray) and a lower quality (but still HD) for uploading to YouTube/SmugMug.
Any help or thoughts anyone may have would be greatly appreciated.

Premiere CS4 exporting to MPEG2, changes timeline??

I've been using Premiere CS4 to edit my videos. Once the video is complete I do a file > export > media to use Media Encoder to save the media in various formats, one of them being MPEG2. In the timeline for each video I have 3 seconds of black at the start and 10 seconds at the end. I just noticed today that when I export to MPEG2, the created MPG file has the black trimmed off both ends, and it apparently stretches the video to fill the full time length somehow. So if my show should fade to black at 28:00 normally (as it does on the timeline), with 10 seconds of black until 28:10, when I view the created MPG file the video start immediately instad of waiting 3 seconds, and it will fade out the video at 28:10 and not have my 10 seconds of trailing black. So it must be stretching the whole video to fill in that extra 10 seconds. It only does this with exporting to an MPEG2 file, the AVI and WMV files I export into using the same timeline are fine.
I had never noticed this before on the 20+ shows I've previously exported, I never even thought about going back and checking out the actual end time for the MPG versions because it was fine on other formats. Apparently this is something not isolated to this computer I'm using because I went back to my old laptop and did an export the same way on an old video and it did the same thing. I'm stumped.
Any help on how to be able to export to an MPEG2 file exactly what I have on the timeline like the other formats do would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Ann,
The sequence length is the same in Premiere as it is when I play it in media player. They both clock in at 28:10, but the exported mpg plays differently somehow. When I play it on the sequence my show fades to black at exactly 28:00, and then I have 10 seconds of black, that’s how I want it to be. When I play the exported mpg file in media player it doesn’t fade out the show until 28:10, and there’s no 10 seconds of black at the end, it just ends after the fade out. The software appears to be stretching the video to make 28:00 of video fit into a 28:10 length file, but since 10 seconds over 28 minutes isn’t that much it’s not noticeable when I watch it.
I just tried what you said to do… I took the exported MPG and pulled it back into Premiere and played it on the timeline, and it is playing it properly in there with the 10 sec of black at the end and timing it correctly. I don’t get it! It only shows up correct in Premiere, I’ve tried in both WMP and Real player and they’re doing the same thing. But my avi and wmv version exports all play properly in WMP. Very strange!
Thanks for your help.

Premiere CS4 export Mpeg2 setting

i use Premiere CS4 and i am a leisure user.
1. when i export mpeg2, the video is 800m file sze
    if i export to DVD, the files (video + audio) are 240m
   as i know DVD is mpeg2, what's wrong with the setting on huge file size difference?
   i need a small size mpeg2 file.
2. can i edit vob directly? it is very time-consuming to convert vob to avi and then edit.
3. when i used premiere pro before, it has function to export DVD directly at premiere.
    but now CS4 need to revert to Encore. Any fast track?
4. i alway have corrupted cache when importing avi files. i need to remove cache and import again until it is ok
   any way i can do it better or less error.
5. any fast method to simply cut the movie, not do any change of resolution, codec....
Thanks a lot in advance. i have lots of question.
Tony

Unfortunately, you've posted to the Premiere, and not the Premiere Pro forum. This is for a program that predates the "Pro" designation. Maybe the MOD's will move this for you, so you'll get more traffic.
Now, let's see if I can address some of your questions:
As for the MPEG-2, it is most likely that the larger file has a much higher bit-rate. What are the settings between your Exported MPEG-2 and those in the Transcoded file? That is the common difference.
As for editing .VOB's, if they are 100% DVD-compliant (very important), then CS4.1 can Import and edit. These still have the MPEG-2 compression, but should work fine. If those .VOB's were created by Encore, then changes are almost 100% certain, that you can edit them. If not, then the odds go down, and quickly. See this ARTICLE on .VOB's.
Export to DVD directly, went away with CS3. The included Encore is much, much better, and is the way to go. There is also a forum for it.
I've never had a corrupted cache, and cannot help here.
If you have DV-AVI Type II material as source, you can edit until the cows come home, and Export to DV-AVI Type II with no noticable degredation. Other formats/COCE's not so much. Here, it just depends.
Good luck,

Camtasia Poor Quality in Premiere CS4 Export

I am a PC user. One of my clients uses Mac and Camtasia to screen capture his software program, which I need to integrate into a video I am making for his company. The MP4 Camptasia file he sends me looks good. I bring the file into Premiere to edit it, but when I export it, the clip done with Camtasia has very poor quality, while the footage I shot with my video camera looks great.
Specs:
Camera: HMC40, PH mode 1080/60i (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression).
PC: i7 quad-core 64-bit running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, 8 GB RAM.
Editor: Premiere CS4 in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection .
New Sequence setup in Premiere: AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic.
Premiere’s export settings:
Format: MPEG2
Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details: Variable
Video Tab > Basic Video Settings > Quality: 5
Field Order > None (progressive)
Profile > Main
Bitrate Settings: Bitrate Encoding: VBR 2Pass
Minimum Bitrate: 4 (default)
Target Bitrate: 15 (default)
Maximum Bitrate: 18.5 (default)
GOP Settings > M Frames: 3 (default)
N Frames: 15 (default)
Output summary: NTSC, 1920X1080, 29.97 drop frame (fps), Progressive, Quality 5.0
Note in general: I found that if I set the Bitrate Encoding at VBR 1Pass, I got glitches sporadically.Using VBR 2Pass has solved this.
My question about the Camtasia clip:
1) How can I get the Camtasia footage to be as sharp in the export as in the original?
Other questions in general:
2) Are my New Sequence setting in Premiere correct? AVCHD > 1080i > AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic
3) Is my choice to export as MPEG2, HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality preset, the best for the footage I shoot?
4) Is my choice to set the Multiplexer tab > Bitrate and Buffering Details at ‘Variable’ the best?
5) Do my Bitrate and GOP settings need adjustment?
6) Should my Export field order be Upper instead of Progressive?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The frame rate is 1038 X 882
That is a very odd frame size, and one that probably won't work well no matter what workflow you use. You asked:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
how could he better capture and export to match my workflow?
Have him capture and export to match your desired export frame size for the finished project.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
How would you suggest I change my workflow to handle the interlaced and progressive issue?
I can't answer that until I know exactly how you intend to deliver your finished video. Any answers to your other questions will also likely depend on your intended delivery format and media.

Trouble with 2nd audio track when exporting to Quicktime - please help!

Ok - I've made my DV movie in IMovie - all ok. When I export to Quicktime the second audio track (an mp3 imported from iTune) jumps up in volume unexpectedly but always in the same place. There is no such jump in the original and I haven't put in any nodes to boost the volume etc.
Any ideas guys??
Thanks
Les

Hello,
Further reading and search in this forum make me think I was right : it seems to be an iMovie 6 bug.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2037970&#2037970
I would suggest to have the maximum number of person reporting a feedback to Apple to get a quick fix

Premiere CS4 Export Problems

I have been having some problems with exporting a video with Premiere/Media Encoder CS4. Here is the file type - .mov SD widescreen and HV30 .m2t HD files. In a 720p sequence. The first problem was that it will not export any image file types. Next when I try to export certain file types it has issues - for quicktime and WMV I remember it would not work. The only one that would work was H.264 (I didn't try them all) Any ideas?

Hi,
The usb hard drive is probably too slow to edit with. Most people only use usb drives for storage.
I would suggest you make sure your project file isnt on that drive and would move your assets off that drive into your c drive if thats all you have. You could use and external firewire 800 drive, or esata would be even better. Maybe clear as much space as you can from your c drive and defragment it, make sure your pagefile is set to 1.5 times your memory and try it that way. You really should have only program files on your c drive, projects files on a 2nd drive and assets on a 3rd drive...and drives should be only about 1/2 full...
There's threads here about how to set up your system for editing.. especially in the hardware forum.
I personally only have two internal drives with programs on c drive and projects and assets on 2nd drive. The 2nd drive is 1Terabyte 7200rpm ( pagefile on 2nd drive also )...the drive is about 3 percent full....as I only have little SD projects on it now...and I dont even try to edit HD stuff...as my computer is not powerful enough.
using CS3...
I have an intel dual core 2.6 ghz, 4gig ram, windows xp, 2 hard drives sata, 7200rpm. If I edit more than a couple minutes of HD with transitions my computer starts to slow up so much its retarded to even try to edit that....

Premiere CS4 playback .mov (quicktime file) in Mac

Hi,
I recently acquired CS4 and the latest loaded Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz. I have problem with playing back .mov file - which obvisouly main NLE format for Mac. I've been testing with 15 seconds 1920 x 1080 clip - size about 150 MB which I transcoded from AVCHD via Cineform/TMPGEnc (PC)/VoltaicHD. Regardless of any transcoders I use, when I playback the file in the Source window, video is stuttered and very choppy. Rendering certainly helps that I can play nicely in the timeline but the major problem is that I cannot work with multi-cam monitor on. With only two .mov clips on multi-cam, it is way too stuttered and choppy that there's no way I can work with. HDV footages captures directly from my Z5U works flawless even with editing mult-cam monitor - which obviously not .mov file. I even tested the same clip transcoded into .avi and it plays back nicely with multi-camera monitor on my old PC (Core2 2.0 GHz) running Premiere Pro 2.0. Thought it is Premiere Memory Management issue dealing with quicktime file (.mov).
Does anyone has the same issue working with .mov file for editing multi-cam? I'm so stressed out for the last few days - I want to go back to FCP instead. Thanks!
Jun

Dan,
Forget about using CS4 for multicam HDV streaming. I decided to go
back FCP 6. I tried all the intermediate codec with various file sizes
for playing back multicam stream in CS4 but none of them working.
Either playing back is very choppy stuttered or doesn't play back at
all. CS4 is not the right program for Mac. Funny thing is it works
flawlessly on PC which is less powered than my Macbook Pro. They
shoudnt release it for Mac. Sorry I couldnt help you much. Please let
me know if you find a solution for this. Good luck.

Premiere Pro Exporting Issues using ProRes LT

Using Premiere Pro CC and is currently up to date. When exporting ProRes LT (1920X1080) I am getting constant glitches and purple/pink scan line across my footage. This happens within the timeline and the export. Raw footage is clean. Footage shot on a Canon 5D Mark ii. System: Mac Pro (2013 - The trash can one), 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, 64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC, AMD FirePro D500 3072MB, OSX 10.9.3.

HI Tswbmatt,
It sounds like you are hitting the OS X 10.9.3 bug, corrupting exports with the Mercury Playback Engine (OpenCL). Usually, it's with H.264 exports, but I"m not surprised it affects other codecs too. I'll add that to the bug report.
You can change the Mercury Playback Engine to "Software Only" or roll back to OS X 10.9.2 to fix it.
Thanks,
Kevin

Export to quicktime movie help

Hi people,
I have a very quick, and slightly embarassing question...
I have a movie that is approx 85 minutes in length, shot on DV PAL. When I compress is via quicktime converstion it's coming out at 18.05GB.
What I need to do is reduce the file size by a few GB. I've used the Custom setting and reduced the quality to approx 15% but the file size is still coming out at 18.05GB. Unfortunately using compressor is not an option in this project (please don't ask.....)
Can someone please help and advise how I can reduce the file size.
Thanks
Alps

I did try burning the 18.05GB file on i-DVD but even with the auto compression of i-DVD it only managed to compress it down to 5.4GB - too large for my 4.7GB DVD.
The only reason I need to burn it so my friend can author it is that he's a little too fussy and wants to author it on Adobe Encore.
I managed to get a firewire drive - but the blooming PC didnt accept it as it was Mac formated!
I just exported the original file as a QT movie, reducing sound quality, frame rate etc but it still comes out at 17.5GB - still to large for i-DVD (and thats with i-DVD's compression, which comes in at approx 5GB!)
I really really blame myself for this as I never really looked into anything more than the creative aspect of FCP. But I've started now.

Premiere CS4 weird behaviour. Please help!!

Hello all,
I recently purchased cs4 production premium as an upgrade to my cs3 suite. After installing everything seems normal, but when i try to open videos in premiere en encore it doesnt work properly: the video gets some kind of a weird blue/red glow and it doesnt show continuously. Also the graphics in photoshop are not displayed right. I first thought it was some issue with other software on my laptop! so I reinstalled vista and after that installed cs4 but no luck. So now im guessing it s a hardware problem. Im currently using the suite on a acer laptop with the minimum requirements (otherwise it wouldnt have installed right?) specs are intel core 2 duo 1,8 Ghz, 1024 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 2300 2 GB DDR etc.
To watch the odd behaviour I have uploaded a video to Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kQDw2b6IQM
Should I install it on another computer of do I need better drivers (I have the latest for my videocard) or do I have to change some settings? Please help

Groetjes!
I can't view Youtube from where I am now, but your second description sounds like a graphics card problem.
I don't know about Vista x86, but I'm having a terrible time with my ATI Radeon HD 2600 under Vista x64. :(
Cheers

Premiere CS4 exported videos for ipod all show black screen when played

Hi,
I am trying to export a video for an ipod from an mp4 source file.
The project settings are set to ipod and so are the export settings. I get a normal video file (mp4) with the right resolution etc. The sync with itunes works without problems and i get the right thumbnail of the video in the Ipod menu.
But when i try to play the video i only get a black screen, the timer is running and i have sound.
I think i have tried all the possible settings. None of them worked.
Can you help me? Where is the problem?
Thank you

export to a regular .wmv file, or any other type you want.
now use a program like this one:
http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-movie-converter.html
If you have deep pockets you can try Sorenson Squeeze.
or you can try this one
http://www.xilisoft.com/ipod-video-converter.html
unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem the way you wish. ( a free fix )
I'd do a good Google search for answers, with some good keywords, and you may find
a solution that won't cost you anything.
