Premiere CS4 "Save As" for Avid or FCP

Hello,
Is there a way to save my composition or sequence for Avid or FCP .
My buddy works with Avid and FCP and he wants me to send him my composition or sequence so can work on it.
I use Premiere CS4.
Thanks

Ex Malterra,
> I'm curious as to which versions CS4 can save an FLA as.
Flash CS4 can save FLAs as CS4- and CS3-compatible files.
(By
comparison, Flash CS3 is able to save CS3- and 8-compatible
files. Flash 8
can save 8- and MX 2004-compatible files, and so on, back.
Always the
current version and the version before.)
> some customers require the version to be 8. For this and
> other reasons we need to be mindful when considering

It can get tedious, but if you're using CS4 and want to save
for Flash
8, you'll have to Save As CS3, then open that file in CS3 and
Save As 8.
Keep in mind -- and this isn't new to CS4 -- you always risk
losing features
when you save to a previous version of Flash. For example,
Flash 8
introduced blend modes. If you use those and try to save your
file as an MX
2004 file, you'll lose that particular feature.
> Also, will CS4 allow us to create files as either AS2
(gotta
> have that Tree component!) or AS3 in the same way that
> CS3 does?
Yes. Flash CS4 supports all the versions of ActionScript as
Flash CS3.
That said, you can always use 3rd party components to meed
your needs, if it
comes to that. The Yahoo! Developer Network features free
(BSD license) AS3
UI components for Flash here, including a Tree:

Premiere CS4 effect switch for each video channel

Premiere CS4
Windows
Gentlemen !
Does anyone know if there is a Master Effect Switch for each individual video channel
What I am saying is, is there any way to turn Off or On the effect for each individual video channel
Let's say I wanna turn Off all video effects for video channel 1
Just similar to the icon of the eye or lock for each channel
I have about 40 clips on channel one's timeline , I wanna turn all effect Off for a minute, check something the turn it back On !
Thanks

With the Nested Sequences, turning thing OFF for performance would be easy, but Nesting does take some additional Resources.
For a Feature Request, see this LINK.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - some Effects hardly seem to slow things down, while some are quite resource heavy. For playback, Rendering the Timeline normally makes things very smooth, at the expense of the time to Render.

Best HW solution for Avid and FCP

Hi there,
I have a MacPro system running both FCP and Avid. I'm currently using a Mojo to monitor from Avid and just using my DSR-25 to monitor output from FCP. However, it's a little annoying having to disconnect or change wires every time I want to use a different system.
Does anyone know of any hardware that would provide monitoring for both systems that would also connect up to a DVCam based deck at the same time? I currently use a DAC-10 at work but it seems to have problems when a deck is connected to it. Or am I best to stick with the Mojo and get a PCI-E based solution for FCP? Many thanks!

Don't think there's a fix for you here... the codecs used by Avid and those used by FCP aren't the same so all hardware made for the systems is unique to the systems they are intended for. I'd suggest you get off the fence and go one way or the other and stay there...
Look at AJA products for the best in FCP monitoring solutions. You can't have two FW devices connected at the same time either. i.e. the DAC and a FW deck... the OS doesn't deal with more than one at a time.

Premiere cs4 trail version for MAC - no HDV options

Hi, I've seen this same problem for PC, but not for Macs. I've just installed a trial version of Premier onto my mac OS X (or what ever the most recent OS is) that has never had a previous version on it.
When I make a new project, there is no HDV presets. When I open an older project made on my PC, it opens but I can't import the files and get this error "unsupported format or damaged file".
I origionaly thought the files were no usable in the Mac version of premiere because I captured them on the PC, but seeing that I can't even create a HDV project, I think the problem is the software.
Any ideas of the fix on a mac?
thanks, eli

I apologize for not seeing that you are new here and that my tone was not welcoming. It has however been told over and over again and I overlooked that it was your first post here. Sorry. Nevertheless, my message I hope was clear, due to licensing issues, there is no MPEG support in the trial version. Your only option is to get the full version.

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.

If its that the problem I will format my disk and reinstall seven when I will recieve my disk!

Premiere Cs4 setup for movie seq to tiffs

How do I set up Premiere cs4 to save a segment of a film to tiffs (not the whole film just a segment of it)
I have googled no luck and searched youtube no luck.
TIA

Not every Export option has the choice of Full Sequence, or Work Area Only. If there is no checkbox, or drop-down to select Work Area Only, then that could be one of the Export options that does not allow it.
Another workflow could be to do a Save_As for the Project, leaving the original untouched. Then, just Delete all Clips/footage before that desired segment, and all after. Export the remaining Timeline (the area that you would have set with the WAB, if that had been an Export option). Import THAT TIFF Sequence into the original Project.
One could also do this with individual Sequences, and not have to leave the Project. One would create a New Sequence, and then just Copy/Paste the desired footage into that. Export from that New Sequence, in TIFF Sequence. [Note: for PrE users, the only way would be with separate Projects. PrPro makes it easier with Sequences.]
Good luck,
Hunt

De-install Premiere CS4 for mac

How do I de-install Adobe Premiere CS4 for mac so I can re-install it? I think you have to do more than just throw it in the trash right?
I'm on a mac OS X version 10.5.6
You don't have to reinstall the entire suite right?
Thank you.
Jill

I have not done it yet for if you want to reinstall Adobe CS4 Premiere for Mac you have to reinstall the entire suite. ALSO I purchased Quick Time Pro and it will NOT open MPEG files so that I can convert them to MOV files to get my timeline back up and running.eeeerrrrrr
thaks gueys for the previous messages...In short my MPEGs in my timeline are all Pending (they were working fine for months. My .mov files in Adobe Premiere are fine still. I just don't want to lose all of my editing! I need help trying to get my MPEGS working again and don't want to have to re-edit.

What's hardware should upgrade for Using Premiere CS4 to editing (AVCHD)m2ts file?

What's hardware or software should upgrade for Using Premiere CS4 to editing (AVCHD)m2ts file?
1st question: when i try to do editing by using Premiere CS4 AVCHD sequence timeline, the edting monitor seems not smooth (like wearing goggles) & delay, and when i use AME to encode m2ts file (which not yet edit) to AVI file (about 1 hour), it take 2h 13min to finish, is it normal?
2nd question: i use mpeg2 HD 1440 file to do eding, the edting monitor also not very smooth but better than using m2ts file, after editing done, i try to encode these mpeg2 HD 1440 file (which edited about long 1 hr) to a New file mpeg2 1440 X 1080i HQ or even mpeg2 Pal DV HQ file, the encoding was not runthe encoding after wait for half an hour. How many hours it take usually????
3rd question: i use m2ts file video file to export as a Bitmap, 1 frame 1 picture bitmap, it take long time too, about 1 or 2min to finish encoding, if i export more than 1 picture, it take even more time, i have experienced it, 3 or 4 pictures need about 10 or 15 min to finish encoding. i used to using mpeg2 HD 1440 file (which edited file) to export frame as picture, it not run the encoding at all. WHY ????
i'm new in Premiere CS4,so i got many question about Premiere CS4, usually i use Premiere Pro 1.5 version
my computer is: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU
                         E7400 @ 2.80 GHz
                         2.80 GHz, 2.00 GB RAM
                         Graphic Card: ATI Radeon X1650 series
                        2 Hard Disks in my computer (C Drive is 300 GB (not sata) , D Drive is 500 GB sata)
4th Question: Premiere CS5 & Premiere CS4 which one is better ???
5th Question: What's different ATI Radeon and NVIDIA Card, which is better, which u suggest to. What is different Graphic Card and Video Card ?? Should i install HD Video Card ????

I don't think a core-2 will work very well with AVCHD... you need at least an Intel i7 920... or whatever is current
My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to the computer I built... since the GTX 285 is no longer sold, I would now go with a GTX 460 or whatever is the current "best bang for the buck" - AND I would buy 4Gig-by-3Sticks memory to be able to expand from 12Gig to 24Gig if needed
For my home hobbyist, family movies (which means that I am not trying to recreate Star Wars with video effects or many layers) AVCHD editing is "as smooth as spreading warm butter on hot toast" (also the MP4 video from wife's Flip camera)

Best Video Card for non 3d/compositing work in Premiere CS4?

Hi all, I'm looking to optimize my system where I can to speed up the editing process. I edit 1080p footage from the Canon 5D MKII (h.264 MOV files)using half-res h.264 proxies, but CS4 seems to hang a lot in the timeline view and clips just disappear and instead show green. I'm switching to half-res MPEG-2 (.m2v) proxies now and so far that problem seems to have gone away (still testing), but when timeline display quality is at "High Quality" (vs. automatic) there's still some chop during slow pans (not seen with "Automatic" or "Draft Quality").
Anyway, I'm looking for the weakest point in my system and suspect the video card. My system is an 2.66 i7 processor, 6GB 1333 ram, 1x160GB sata II HD (OS/Apps), 3x1TB SATA II RAID 0 (paging file, data), and an $80 ATI 4650 512 MB video card running Vista 64.
So all that said, what's the best general graphics card for editing HD video in Premiere CS4? I don't care about 3d or compositing at this stage, just basic editing of unrendered (timeline playback) HD video, maybe sometimes 1-3 HD layers, some basic color correction effects (b+w, contrast, etc), dissolves, text overlay, some clip speed manipulation.
Many seem to recommend the Nvidia quadro cards, but I haven't found any information to suggest they help with anything other than 3D/compositing, which I don't need (and therefore don't need to pay the premium).
There's also the Nvidia CX card, but it's main feature is touted as encoding h.264, whereas I could care less about that and ideally need decoding of h.264 in the timeline to be better. I haven't seen any great reviews on this card of heard of average user testimonials, probably because it's $2k and it mainly marketed as "zoom more fluidly in photoshop, export h.264 4x faster", which seem like minor issues vs. "better realtime playback of HD video".
I sort of rambled, but if any informed CS4 users can help answer the question regarding the best video card for general CS4 editing use (not 3d/compositing stuff) I'd love to get more insight.

So in Media Encoder CS4, I tried encoding one of the clips that plays back the least smooth in the Premiere timeline (a slow pan across intricate patterns on a sand dune in death valley) to the following:
Format: P2 Movie, Preset: DVCPRO HD 720P 30
(this was the only format in media encoder that mentions DVCPRO HD)
I noticed when trying to customize the setting, that there is no 30 fps option, just 23.976, 29.97, and 59.94. I just went with 29.97 as that was the closest to the 30 fps of the source MK II footage. The width and height were also unajustable at 960x720 for the DVCPRO HD format.
Playing the output in the timeline view of Premiere was comparable in smoothness to the m2v file. I looked at my resource monitor during playback looking for bottlenecks, and the CPU does seem to spike at 100% initially when playing this clip back. I reverted to the m2v version and also saw the same CPU spike. I also reverted back to the down-res'd mp4 version, same spike. Moving display quality down to draft does allow for smooth playback here.
So I guess there's something about this clip that is CPU intensive to play back in the timeline in any of these formats. The original 1080p version plays back perfectly in both quicktime and VLC player.
Anyway, for now I think I'm content with using the m2v proxies as a big chunk of the clips are fairly smooth, and using a reduced quality display mode for clips that don't play as smoothly is accpeptable for now. At least so far I'm not seeing the hanging/video not displaying (and instead showing a green screen) that I was with the mp4 proxies.
If anyone has any other suggestions as to how to get smoother timeline playback for these proxies (or the original h.264 .MOV files), however, whether it be a hardware upgrade (e.g. better video card) or a different proxy codec, I'd love to hear them and give it a shot.

Is Ciniform still the way to go for editing HD on Premiere CS4?

Hi all,
I may have a opportunity to edit an inde film shot in on P2 HD 1080p. However, i have a few questions....
0. can Premiere CS4 read and edit MXF files?
1. I'm not sure if my Premiere CS4 system will handle it natively without using an intermediate codec like Ciniform. The files have already been transfered to an external drive which i will then transfer to my systems' video drive. The following is my current system configuration:
. Premiere CS4
. Windows 7 x64
. 12gb of DDR3 ram
. Intel 920 quad core processor
. 1tb (2x500gb) video drive
. 1tb (2x500gb) storage drive.
2. The client is not sure the frame rate the video was shot in, either 24p or 59p. Is there a way to determine the correct frame rate so i can select the proper preset in premiere? I may be able to use VLC to view the codec information.

Thanks, that's good to know.
Now i just have to figure out how to get paid for editing this indie film. They called asking me to edit it now and get paid later - yea right!
Get paid before you deliver it.

DVD into Premiere CS4 for Dummies

Will someone please write an article or short, simple book with this title? Surely it would sell! And then let me know when it's finished and I will be the first one to buy it. It needs to written to non-techies like me who understand video editing, but not the input and output information...compression and stuff, and all the practical application in ways we dummies can understand. Could it be written as a simple textbook, with an elementary/middle school audience in mind so we can understand it? We just want to make music videos. Please, make it simple for us: do this (and make it clear) and then tell us that if that doesn't work, then this is what you do and why. And cover all the bases - don't leave us hanging and wondering. Wow - I've already looked for a book like this on Amazon. It is a real need. Even Adobe Premiere CS4 Classroom in a Book doesn't give you an inkling of how to get DVDs into Premiere. Do they just asuume that because it's easy for them that it's easy for us? We are hairstylists, English teachers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians,fulltime moms...computers are not our major. Once I finally figure all of it out, and it's clear in my mind, I will write the book if no one else has. : )

Can not install update for premiere CS4

Hi, my name is Josanne.
I work with windows Vista home premium and Premiere CS4 , Aspire G7200 computer, AMD Phenom 9850 Quadcore processor, 8 gig mem.
I have two problems:
1.
I got a message to update Premiere CS4 so i tried.
The file is 192.4MB
Every time i trie to install it failes saying: Adobe setup stopped working.Updater did not work.
I tried installing with firewall and antivirus shut down, didnt work.
Does anyone have a solution?
2.
I make clips using a Sony PD170 camera. When i make a widescreen (16:9) project the exported formats turn out strange.
It seems its always 4:3 format with black filling up the top and bottom.
I hope someone understands what i mean and knows a solution.
Greetings,
Josanne.

1. Try to download manually from the Adobe site.
2. The PD-170 is 4 x 3. You should only use a DV 4 x 3 preset. It will always show the black borders top and bottom, because the PD-170 is not capable of shooting 16 x 9, it only shoots 4 x 3 and crops the top and bottom.
