Premiere CS4 - Putting different directions of motion on one video clip at once....

Hello. I am using Adobe Premiere CS4, and I am currently stuck on something, which is trying to create contrasting motions at once in Effect Controls.
Imagine two video layers on top of each other. The one on top is an animated "walking" dog gif with a transparent background. The one on bottom is a still image of a field.
I wanted the dog to be moving from right to left "across the field" while the whole "scene" (both audio clips together) gradually panned to the right at an even rate.
However, I do not know how to make the dog layer move to the right while both layers slowly move to the left evenly, if that makes any sense.
Does anyone have ideas, or is this impossible in CS4? Thank you.

Apply motion to the dog, then nest both dog and bg and add motion to the nested sequence.

A series of video files (0001.MTS to 0005.MTS) were imported into premiere, when moved to timeline premiere combined them and made them look like one long clip named 0001.MTS. Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.

Video editing 'special effects': can you apply a fast/slow motion effect to video clips?

I haven't been able to find a way to create the effects of fast or slow motion in the video clips. Is there a way to do this? If not, please consider adding it in the full version - I use these effects alot when editing videos.
Thanks!

Hi,
When working with a video layer (clip) in the Timeline panel, either 1.) Context-click on the selected clip (right-click or ctrl-click for mac) or 2.) Click on the flyout button located at the top right corner of the clip.
The "Speed" option should show up in the flyout menu. This is only available for video layers. If you're working with still or smart objects the speed option is not available.

Premiere Pro CS6 switching sequence settings from previously edited video clips

When importing my video clips into Premiere Pro, which are currently set at 1920 x 1080 both from the video clip and sequence settings, it switches to 720 x 480 (says file has mismatch - keep or change settings, I've done both results the same) when I export and when I put clip on timeline it switches it to 1440 x 1020. The video clips were done on a earlier version of Premiere Pro at another facility, where we put the audio and video together to make a complete video clip We shot the footage using a Canon DSLR at 24 ups and are MOV files, done on a Mac
If anyone else has had this problem and found a solution, plese pass on.
Carl A.

Take your imported footage and create the sequence by dropping one of the video files on to the "New Item" button.
If your footage is actually showing in the project panel as 1920X1080, the sequence that will be created will match that. Guaranteed.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC is blanking the top of my video clips! Please Help!

I was just using this software for about an hour just fine. All of a sudden I drag a clip to the project media so I can put it in the sequence and this happens!
Now every video I drag in does this! I tried rendering it out and it is still there! *note* the black is not there when I watch the video in windows media player.
This project needs to be finished soon a promt response would be apreciated.
Thanks!

Premiere CS4 is only encoding half of the audio

Ok, I'm basically stuck here.
I export my sequence from Premiere CS4 to Media Encoder and the final encoded video has audio for the first half but then abruptly cuts out and there's only silence after that.
The audio works and sounds fine in the Premiere project. It is mainly audio that was recorded with the video clips but there are also some unlinked music tracks as well. The video clips are a mix of .WMV, .MOV, and .AVI and the audio music clips are .WAVs. I'm currently working on a PC.
I tried re-encoding, restarting the computer and then re-encoding, and nesting the sequence within a new sequence and then re-encoding. The problem still persists though.
This problem is especially confusing because this is the third and final video to be exported from the project and the first two videos exported and encoded perfectly fine without any audio problems. The first two videos also contained a similar mix of video and audio formats.
So, I'm really confused and frustrated with this issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Were you able to fix it? Any ideas, solutions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the message Hunt.
When I said that the audio cuts out at different times I was referring to exporting the same sequence with no editing. So, when the exact same sequence is exported multiple times the audio will cut out at different points for each exported video. This makes it really hard to pinpoint a specific clip.
Thanks for the ideas about where to look for the problem. I didn't really keyframe the audio at all but there were keyframes on some of the video clips. I was working with Effects a lot but mainly just for video color correction and transitions. I agree about there being a lot of nooks and crannies and it's pretty unfortunate that it has come to checking into all of those.
I agree that AME shouldn't be causing this problem out of "sheer meaness" but I am rather inclined to start referring to AME as the "Adobe Meaness Encoder", ha ha!
FIXED!! Ok, so I figured out a work around which is a little shoddy but seems to do the trick.
-Based on mickkeav's suggestion I updated AME with the 4.0.2 update. I don't know if this solved anything or not because I didn't do an export immediately after updating.
-I exported out the entire sound track from my final sequence as a .WAV and then replaced the original, problematic audio with that new .WAV file. This seemed to solve the problem because the sound now works fine and doesn't cut out at all. The audio still sounds as good as it did originally too.
An earlier, similar solution was to use Quicktime Pro to remove the existing, errored sound track from the video and then add the new and complete .WAV file but this increased the video's file size by 100 mb whereas encoding with the new .WAV track in AME did not increase the video file size at all.
Thanks for the help and hopefully nobody else runs into this problem!

Premiere CS4 I Can't Import .MXF files but Adobe assures me i can?????

Hi I have Adobe Premiere CS4 and I am trying to import some videos to it and they are in .MXF format. Premiere issues me "codec missing or unavailable" and I don't want to download some sort of converter. Isn't Premiere supposed to support .MXF files?????????

Not sure about CS4, I started with CS6. And hope I'm not being preachy here, but an awful lot of troubles over MXF files have the same root problems. Even some very experienced editors have had issues with this. The vast majority of the times this error comes up people have not imported as PrPro needs it ... MXF files are a form of AVCHD ... the camera makes separate (and oft fairly short) sections of video file and matching audio files, stored on the cam in separate folders, with a database to tell any further software use which pieces are part of the same "full-length" clip, and that data is stored in a different folder-tree from the other files. If you don't properly import the whole folder tree, PrPro says ... no go.
So ... when uploading onto the computer, or moving the files around to various drives, you ALWAYS need to take the entire folder-tree from the camera and move it intact. Some other softwares manage to sort out MXF/AVCHD files while the top level folder didn't get copied, PrPro probably will choke. Next, you need to navigate to the files in the Media Browser and then select and "Import" those files, then work them from the Project panel.
Oh ... and often times if these are on external drives, PrPro can be picky about seeing/working with them.

How to export timeline sequence to .vob in premiere cs4?

Hi All,
I am new to premiere cs4,
earlier i used premire 6.5 for video editing.
in premiere 6.5 for exporting video i had used procoder 2.0
after procoder instalation it comes as plug in premiere 6.5 by using procoder i can export timeline as my desired video format.
but now this procoder is not working in premiere cs4
after i installed procoder it is not showing in premiere cs4.
i tried export option in premiere cs4 but it has no .vob option for export
now how can i export timeline sequence as .vob file and
how can i work with procoder in premiere cs4? is there any chance to install procoder in premiere cs4?
Thanks,
Murali.

I agree with John T. Normally, the creation of a VOB (Video Object) container is done in an authoring app., like Adobe Encore, which he mentioned. Up through Premiere Pro 2.0, there were limited authoring capabilities, built in. However, with PrPro CS 3, those were removed, and all authoring functions were provided with Encore, which has shipped with PrPro, ever since.
Now, the VOB is just a container. It will have mostly the MPEG-2 DVD AV file, which can span several VOB's, which are only ~1GB in size. The first VOB might also contain the DVD Menus, and navigation instructions, all of which can only be ~ 1GB. If those elements are less, then the first part of the MPEG-2 DVD AV file will be in there also.
While I do not know one, there are probably utilities available, that can wrap an MPEG-2 DVD AV file into a VOB. Still, you have Adobe Encore, and it can do that, plus a whole lot more, so just finding a program to wrap the MPEG is likely a waste of time, unless you have other, very specific needs.
To utilize Encore, you have basically three ways (as of PrPro CS 3 and up) to accomplish that:
You can use ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to Import your Sequences/Timelines directly to Encore.
You can Export a DV AVI file, then Import that into Encore.
You can Export an MPEG-2 DVD file, then Import that into Encore.
Good luck, and if you do have some other, specific needs for the VOB container, let us know, as someone might have suggestions for that.
Hunt
PS - If you do go the Encore route, and are not familiar with that program, I strongly recommend the very good, and very active Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

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

Premiere CS4 + JVC GY-HM100 MP4 clips

Hello -
The new JVC GY-HM100 records video and audio to SDHC cards in .MOV or .MP4 formats. MOV is best for FCP of course, but MP4 is supposed to be best for Premiere. Well, 1280 x 720/30p MP4 footage does not play back OR burn to DVD with audio in sync. Is the setting XDCAM EX? HDV? What has worked for everyone?
http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/tech_desc.jsp?model_id=MDL101845&feature_id=02

this is not completely right.
after shooting in different compressions with this camera, 1080 25, 50, 720, etc, I have imported the folder in Premiere CS4.
the result was that in the first 2 clips recorded in 1080/50 HQ the audio was ok, but the audio on the last 2 clips recorded in 720/50 have the same problem. all the clips were recorded one after the other and nothing have been changed in the SDHC card (this was not formated).
and thinking that the project was open as XDCAM EX 720 not 1080

Video audio problem when import to premiere CS4

I have a file encode by flash media live encoder and I try to edit in premiere CS4 but when I import the file the video audio is not synchronised. The recorded file play run good in adobe media player. Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

Going back a bit over a year, there was a thread on this forum, where the OP needed to use the Flash Live Recorder, as there were both streaming material from lectures and then edited material to go up on their intranet Web site for later viewing. That poster had similar issues with the live material, IIRC.
I am certain that this thread was after the forum change over, so should still be on the servers. Wish that I could recall more details, but in the end, the OP found resolution to the problem. I know that I participated, but from the side lines. Seems that there was even footage of a rock performance involved in the feed and I edited the FLV material on my PrPro 2.0 with Moyea FLV Importer for Premiere plug-in. I'll look in my e-mail and YouSendIt account to see if I can find the poster's name (might not be his Adobe screen name), but a Search of this forum ought to turn up something. I'll also do a Search and maybe between us, we can find that thread, as there might be some useful tips in it.
In the meantime, maybe this ARTICLE can help you edit the OOS issues.
Good luck,

Premiere CS4: Befehl "Videoüberblendungen anwenden"

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe in Premiere CS4 das Problem, dass ich die Befehle "Videoüberblendungen anwenden" und Audioüberblendung anwendungen" im Menüpunkt Sequenz nicht anwenden kann (Grau hinterlegt).
Ich habe vorher Premiere Elements 8 benutzt. Die mit PrE 8 erstellten Filme habe ich in Premiere CS4 fertig bearbeitet. Hier waren die Befehle "Videoüberblendungen anwenden" und "Audioüberblendungen anwenden" nutzbar.
Filme, die komplett mit Premiere CS4 erstellt wurden, können diese Befehle nicht ausführen.
Weiß jemand, wie man diese Funktionen einschalten kann?
Die Filmclips sind alle in AVCHD.
Vielen Dank im voraus für die Antworten.

How can timelapse images be merged to create a video clip in elements premiere 12

Can not find directions to complete this task

jcomput
Always good to give the computer operating system involved in case any computer specific details needed to be included. But here is your
generalized yet specific answer for Premiere Elements 12 and increasing the volume of a video clip.
If you are in the Expert workspace...
a. click and drag upward the orange band that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip.
or
b. go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/ Volume Panel expanded on move the volume slide toward +6 dB.
0 db does not represent no sound. It represents the volume of the sound when it was recorded. 0 to +6 dB increases the sound above the recording level; 0 to infinity symbol decreases the sound below the recording level, finally to muted sound.
Please let us know if you are OK with the details above. My blog post on PE12: Audio Features may be useful to you.

How to achieve the distort motion effect ala Final Cut Pro in Premiere CS4?

Newbie here.
I have just recently started with video editing. In Final Cut Pro I have the option to distort a still image in the motion/effects panel. In premiere cs4 I only find the option to scale it up/down without the option to individually distort the four corners. Does anyone know how this can be done in premiere cs4?
The effect i am going for is the same as in Apples presentation of iPad. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/specialevent0110/
I have an presentation wich I need to insert all the slides from the powerpoint presentation in the video.
Any help would be appreciated. ( I have searched around for an solution, but without results)
Regards T

Here is a resource, that deserves a bookmark, the PrPro-Wiki. Plenty of great FAQ articles and tutorials.
I see the "Distort" part of the Effect in FCP, but the "Motion" aspect was throwing me. I kept thinking Posterize Time, and that is anything but what you were looking for. That's why I was going to head to Google for the FCP Help files, or similar.
Good luck,
Hunt
