Premiere cs4 sequence to audition

hello, is there a way to send a premiere cs4 sequence to audition 3 so it appears in audition just as it does in premiere? i know you can send one clip at a time, or export an entire audio track and then import it into audition, but i want all the clips in their various tracks in the exact same order/time/space as they are in premiere so that i can edit the entire sequence of audio clip by clip in one project and then send it back.
thanks for any help.

No.

Editing AE or Premiere CS4 projects in Audition 3?

Is there a way to import an After Effects CS4 or Premiere CS4 project with muitiple audio tracks/layers into Audition 3 and edit/balance each track individually? Have been using Soundbooth to clean up audio from individual video clips, but want to balance & add effects to multiple audio tracks prior to rendering final video. Thought Audition 3 might be a better option than using Premiere's audio mixer?

You can't do it quickly and easily but it is possible by making a rough rendered version (DVavi works well) to work with picture in Audition. Import that into Audition where the video and rough audio will be split to give you a guide track. You can then import all your individual audio tracks saved as .wav files into Audition to work on them and make a final mix to re-import back into Premiere for the final render.

Premiere CS4 sequence/esting rendering leads to black spaces

Help! When I drop a sequence
into another sequence and render it out, sometimes black video will appear for a few seconds. The same thing happens on some clips when I nest 2 or 3 layers together in a sequence (even though it plays back fine if i go to that sequence). The videos all seem to play back fine in their original sequences. And this will happen in exactly the same place if I try to rerender that sequence in another sequence. And I'm talking about anything really complex here.
- Paul

Thanks, that is a good option. I was able to find and remove two clips on the raw footage timeline that seemed to be causing rendering problems. I have not had any crashes since. If I do, I will use your advice.

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

Premiere Pro CS4 Sequence Problems

Hi, I have 2 questions about pp cs4 sequence,
1. After creating a sequence, say Sequence 01, I wanted to change the sequence name. I right clicked and chose "rename", but nothing happened.
2. After importing the clips, I highlighted all clips and clicked the "automate to sequence". All clips were copied to the timeline, but no default transitions were added. I did check the "apply default video/audio transitions".
Please advise and thanks in advance.
jusko

Ah, yes. If the column width is greater than the panel width it prevents certain actions.
The icon appears when there is something that needs your attention.
Try changing your default transition. Perhaps PPro thinks you don't have a default selected.

Premiere CS4 with Media Encoder CS5?

Hi,
When I was given my CS4 suite (production premium) years back, it included Premire Pro. Then, when I told my boss I needed to upgrade to CS5, he purchased the Web Premium Suite. This was fine, for the most part, as Illustrator, Flash, and Photoshop are the main programs I use, but we just recently got a video project that is giving me some issues.
We created what turned out being a 4 min + video. After some trial and error we settled on creating multiple segments in Flash and exporting them as uncompressed MOV files from Flash. Then we brought all of those MOV files together in a premiere pro project. The problem seems to occur when I export out an MP4 video from Premire Pro CS4. Premiere launches Media Encoder CS4 and then creates the MP4. The MP4 plays on a cellular device like we want it to, but it will not display a thumbnail/preview of the video when viewing the video in the phones gallery.
We have tried some other tests, and if we export out an MOV or AVI from Flash CS5 then convert that to an MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, there suddenly seems to be a thumbnail on the phone for the video. After multiple tests, it appears the problem might be related to which version of Media Encoder our final MP4 is produced in. ME CS4 - No thumbnail. ME CS5 - thumbnail.
The problem is, we HAVE to use Premiere as our final compiling tool, but I cant seem to get a Premiere Pro CS4 file to work with Media Encoder CS5.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Justin

but to automatically open up AME CS5 ... hmmm.. maybe a hack?
No, that will not work. Even if you have Audition 4.0 installed (beta), edit in Audition from CS5 will only access Audition 3.0.
The only way to try it is to open AME CS5, go to File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and select the CS4 project and then the correct sequence.

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.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't open Premiere CS4 project in CS5

Having issues opening a premiere cs4 project in cs5. The machine I was using with Cs4 has died, so I'm trying to continue the project with CS5.
Whenever I open the project I get a message saying "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened, No sequence preview preset or file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I have the latest version of premiere cs5 installed, and quicktime. The footage I was using was from a Canon 7D.
Thank you!

Premiere CS4 to Encore CS4 Export Quality Problems

I recently purchased a non-linear editing machine with an RTX2 Matrox Card and CS4 Professional. After six or seven projects, I finally noticed that all my imported .avi files exported through Adobe Media Encoder and burned through Encore CS4 are not as crisp, sharp, or look like the original high quality SD footage after the DVD is burned like it always used to look in CS2. ( jumped from CS2 to CS4)
These DVDs were of plays, football, and basketball games. It seems that when the camera shoots a close up, the video looks fine but after you shoot from a distance, there is a considerable difference in the footage. ( alomost blurry) I just caught this and nobody has complained but I watched one of my older DVDs I produced with CS2 and it had no quality loss whatsoever. There is a night and day difference
For the sequences, I am using Matrox SD, NTSC, Standard, 720 x 486 and capturing with firewire through the Matrox card. The raw footage is beautiful. The Video Preview Option is NTSC Standard and the Codec is NTSC Matrox DV/DV Cam.
I can playback a timeline from the Matrox card and burn directly to a DVD burner and the footage is perfect, but when I export, I have chosen Microsoft .avi file, Matrox DV/DV Cam/ MPEG2, and MPEG2DVD.
I have even changed the sequences codec to Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame and tried exporting using that out of Adobe Media Encoder and am getting the same results.
None of my customers have complained yet, but I definitely do not want to continue producing almost blurry DVDs.
I am using Adobe Premiere CS4 Version 4.1.0 and Encore CS4 Version 4.0.1.048 and Matrox Version 4.1.0.23
Can this problem be related to and eliminated by updating my CS4 Production Suite and my Matrox Software.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced this same issue and what solution they came up with or if anyone knew if the updates would correct this important issue. I just filmed a lengthy play that I have to author through Encore CS4 and I cannot release any more of my productions until this problem is solved. This is a big dollar production and I need some assistance on this matter as soon as possible. Thanks Jimi White

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I just purchased my non-linear with CS4 Production Suite and the Matrox RTX2. I have several projects that I am working on right now and I was advised by Adobe, Matrox, and my non-linear vendor, 1 Beyond, to finish those projects before performing updates.
I also found out that If I export using the MPEG2 8Mbps, it cleared up the video dramatically. We had to go through a number of export presets in order to find out what worked best in Encore. I am going to try to finish the project now and will advise on the results.
This is a basketball highlight DVD and that's when I noticed the problem. My other productions were photos to music, and non sporting events and I didn't notice any problems with those DVDs ( they actually looked decent. Worst part about it was, I finished the project once and burned 18 DVDs, and then reviewed one of them and found the problem. I have to start over and just eat the DVDs printed and all.
Thanks again, it was nice of you to get back to me.

Premiere CS4 Audio Effects Only Work On Latter Half Of Each Audio Clip

I'm currently working with Premiere CS4 on a Windows 7 PC and running into some audio issues when exporting the video. In the timeline when I playback the preview the audio sounds fine but when I export it the audio effects I applied in Premiere only work half the time. Each audio clip will play in it's raw form for a few seconds and then halfway through playing the Premiere audio effects will turn on. I have two audio tracks in my timeline, one for music and the other for narration. There are 10 video tracks in total for various masks, overlays, title, etc.
The sequence has 18 audio clips in total and each one has a separate EQ, Highpass, Volume, and Denoiser effect on it (most are similar but are fine tuned for each clip). So far I've tried exporting as an AVI, MP4, and WMV but each has the same issue. I've also tried exporting with and without the "Use Preview Files" option on the Adobe Media Encoder to no avail.
Has anyone else ever encountered this type of issue before or have any ideas on how to fix it?

Posting for anyone else who comes across this issue:
I was able to fix this by taking all of my audio clips and nesting them in a new sequence, which was then moved to the main sequence. I kept all the effects on their individual clips.

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.

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 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!
-Ben

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!
