Premiere CS5 Captures .mov on mac but creates four Audio lines in Timeline...

Hello,
when I capture a video from my sony camera it captures it in the *.mov format on my mac. Thats ok, but when I insert the captured video in the timeline, it does not use the Audio line directly below the video line for the audio track, but creates 4 audio lines (audio 4, 5, 6, 7) and puts the tracks on them.
What do I have to do to make Premiere inserting the audio track just like in other formats as AVI, MP4, MPG etc. into the audio 1 directly below the video 1 track?
I woukld be very thankful if anyone could help me
greets
Alex

Thanks
You're right, it records 4 Mono Tracks.
I captured it right now on a Win7 PC and found out that there it shows one Video Track and one Stereo Audio Track on Audio 1.
I have made two screenshots:
This is how it looks like on my mac, when I capture something and put it into the timeline:

This is a screenshot from my PC:

I don't know whether its about a setting in my camera or a setting on my mac...?

Editing AVCHD files in Premiere CS5 – juddery movement

Hi all,
Just got a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder – it shoots 1080p @ 50fps (PAL). The format is “.mts”, with AVCHD compression.
Anyway, the issue I have is that when I import the files into Premiere CS5 to edit (Premiere says it supports the native files) – whenever the camera moving, the movement is very jerky, and also blurry during a pan. But when I play back the clip on the camcorder itself, or directly out of it via HDMI, it’s crystal clear with perfect movement.
Firstly – I am making a composition that matches the clip settings.
Secondly - my machine is very fast & can handle the files, so it’s not a processing issue.
And thirdly, they still judder when rendered (as H.264) – so it’s not just an “un-rendered media” issue.
Any Googling I’ve done seems to bring up similar issues with editing AVCHD files, but no solid solution yet. People are saying that I should transcode the files before importing into CS5 (but with no consensus on the format or software to use), and there is also a general consensus that AVCHD is a great playback format, but not the best for editing.
And what’s also odd is that the Panasonic website seems to offer the EXACT software that would seem to fix my issue, but when I click the link it’s not there!
See here: http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/avchd-home.asp
Scroll down to “Software” and it says “AVCHD to P2 DVCPRO HD Transcoder” – editing P2 files would be ideal, as I’ve done this before off a P2 camera - but when I click the link, it brings me to a page with all sorts of software & utilities, but I can’t even find the words “AVCHD” or “DVCPRO” it mentioned on that download page!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
KP.

Hi John - it doesn't have a 1080i setting.
Here is a link to a file I shot on this camera - I imported it into CS5, made a new sequence to match eth footage (i.e. dragged it onto the "New Item" icon) and re-encoded the AVCHD file to a H.264 "Vimeo HD" preset in CS5.
It's blurry, juddery, horrible footage during any sort of movement!
http://www.maxtronmedia.com/grove/panasonic.mp4
Yet, on the camera's own LCD (and on a TV through the camera's HDMI output), this footage looks immaculate. And yes, I tried capturing footage through the HDMI cable into my Matrox Mini and it's interlaced all over the place & pretty-much un-usable.
Suggestions?
I just printed an Amazon returns label, so I'm probably going to send the camera back... now I just need to hope the box is still in my green bin! :/

Premiere CS5 crash in new Mac Pro 2010

I have two problems:
1. Sometimes when I make double cick in premiere icon, the program don't start. I see the previous premiere window with the 4 last projects, but I can not select anything, because the pointer mouse become a beach ball. I have to turn off the program with Alt+Cmd+esc.
2. The big problem. Premiere CS5 5.0.0 crash editing while I'm making marks In and Out in Source window or playing the timeline. The 3 monitors became black or freeze, mouse disapears, sounds freeze and I have to restart with power button.
I have last Mac Pro 2010, 2,8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Mac OS X 10.6.4, 8GB RAM, ATi Radeon 5870, 3 x Hard disk 2 TB, 3 monitors connected trought DVI double chanel, and two minidisplayport-DVI double chanel.
Sorry for my english.
Any help or doubt about my explanation?

Thanks Todd!
I install Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update, and the graphics update from apple but the problem persists. I disconnected two monitors, too.
It's very extrange because I had a configuration system running ok, premiere running ok, everything good, but the system hard disk crashes.
The problem is when I reinstall a backup copy of that system in a new hard disk, then Premiere don't start, and when start then crashes editing. All of the programs are running well, and other adobe CS5 applications, too.
The old hard disk is a Hitachi 2TB (originally from apple), and the new hard disk is a Western Digital caviar black 1TB.
I make the backup system from a *.dmg file. I tried with time machine, with disk utilities and with Carbon Copy Cloner. The result is always the same. Premiere won't start.
I think I have small ghosts inside my computer =)
Maybe is question of a bad clone but this is not a complicated task.
Maybe is question of permits. But I resolve the permits question with disk utilities.
Do you think is question of the clone image?
Now I'm reinstalling a new copy of Leopard SO after formatting the new hard drive western digital 1TB. I will install only the CS5 adobe master collection, to tried in a clean system.

Premiere moves to MAC but now won't recognise MAC audio files!

Go figure this - Premiere Pro 2 would allow importing aif audio files which is the standard MAC audio as wav is the standard PC audio file (Hey, i'm talking uncompressed audio here).
So they release Premiere CS3 which is cross platform and now I can't import any MAC aif files on the PC platform - I thought I was going nuts (and then realised I already was nuts anyhow...) so I imported a PPro 2 project with aif audio into a new CS3 project and all the aif's were 'off line'. 1 step forward 2 steps backward maybe?

That's weird. The
documentation says AIF is supported. Give Adobe a call to make sure.
Cheers
Eddie

Premiere Cs5 capturing issue

I'm trying to capture video from my Sony hdr-fx1via firewire to my Alienware Mx17 I have tried everything, I did 20-25 hours of research on the web and have not been able to solve the problem
I read almost all of the posts on the forum and i cant manage to find the answer.
I also took my computer to get checked if it's working properly and it is.
Steps on my Project
Properties of the project
New project
capture format HDV
Sequence Presets
Available Presets
HDV 1080i30 (60i)
Capture Setting
HDV
Device Control
DV/HDV device control
Device Control options
Video Standard: NTSC
Device brand: Generic
Device Type: standard
Time Format: Auto detect
When I import the video this is what comes up
(the cable is new & I tried another one )
cam is on hdv output
tried another canon hdv ( same problem )
The only suggestions!I've gotten is to look for a HDV codec and i have tried
Xvid
divix
ac3 filter
and many more
I haven't been able to find a hdv codec
tried main concept mpeg pro hd 4 4.0.1 and only works for cs3 and cs4
tried using premier 2.0 and the same thing happens
what am i doing wrong??

Okay. Quick test then. Save your project with the captured HDV files in it and close Premiere. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Plug-ins\Common and drag the plug-in ImporterFastMpeg.prm to your desktop. Relaunch PPro CS5 and open your HDV project. Check to see if the footage plays okay or if it still plays crappy.
If it still plays crappy, then the problem is with the footage. pulling the ImporterFastMpeg.prm forces Premiere to use a secondary decoder. If neither MPEG decoder can play the file, then there's something wrong with the file. Since you've already said that the file doesn't play well outside of PPro (at least that's what I understood), it seems logical that the file was corrupted. Either during the capture process or when it was recorded or while it was on your HDD.
Once you've done this test, close PPro and put the ImporterFastMpeg.prm plug-in back into place and relaunch PPro. Now connect your HDV camera to the computer and put it into camera mode (not VTR mode) so that the signal is going directly into PPro. Capture a short clip and play it back. If it plays back fine, the problem is likely with your tape or the recording heads of the camera itself.
The reason DV plays fine is that it doesn't use the MPEG2 compression that HDV does. The two things are not related except to tell you that your display drivers are fine.

Audio in QT Movie in Mac, Can't Find Audio in QT Movie on PC

I've got two movies that playback with their embedded MP3 audio that I created.
On a Mac I posted it on an FTP site then downloaded it, double-clicked, and it all played back fine.
But two clients could not play it back *on their PC*, where the prompt said that the mp3 file could not be found within the movie.
Now, on a PC, I have loaded both the .mov file and its separate .mp3 file to my desktop from the FTP. I double click on the movie, and the audio plays fine.
SO QT files with sound don't play embedded sound in the file, but if you extract the sound and downoad them separately (audio.mp3) and (audio.mov), it seeks out the right file and plays it.
On a Mac, when the audio is embedded with cut and paste and saved to the file, it's all there. One movie file, one click, movie starts. Easier, organic, they way it should be. What process is at work separating these audio and video tracks in PC when they play back fine in Mac?
I value any insights., MAC OS 10.4.4
G5 1.8 dual Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Based on the original problem and the fact that it plays on your original Mac platform and a PC to which you have downloaded all resources, it appears you may have saved the "uploaded" file in the "reference" mode rather than as a "standalone." Check the size of the merged uploaded movie and see if it is just a few KBs in size or check the "Resource" entry in the "Show Movie Properties" window. If the movie does not reference itself in its current stored location, then you will have confirmed that this is your problem. The solution is to then resave the file but select the "Standalone" save option in the process.

Opened premiere and no windows are opening--but the file audio will play as if the video playback window is functioning. I've tried resetting my work space setting several times and it still will not give me any visual. Any idea how to find a way to view

I've even reset my computer a few times and no go.
Where could my editing windows be hiding?

if you have an intel hd graphics: when creating a new project set the renderer to software only. if you have a project open, from the menu, File>Project Settings>General and change the setting there. the "Program Monitor" window will be the one that displays your timeline. if you are on the "editing" workspace, resetting it from the menu should give you the program monitor in the top right corner.

Capturing on a Mac- can't turn off the sound (still want to record the audio)

How do you turn off audio output during capture on a mac but I still want to record the audio?

Easy on a PC, I click the "speaker" icon at lower right of Windows screen and bring up the audio mixer and just MUTE Premiere, then I can surf the web, watch online videos, listen to music etc, without hearing the capture audio. Assuming that's what you wish to do? Must be a similar option on Mac
Thanks

What is the documetary interview workflow for Story/Premiere CS5.5?

I've looked in vain for the answer to this question, which I'm sure is thoroughly documented SOMEWHERE - I just can't find it. The few things I HAVE found online including at Lynda.com or other paid services involve CS5, which has a different workflow that involves OnLocation; this changed in CS5.5 but I don't see any on-point articles that incorporate the changes.
We've been using Premiere CS5.5 since its release but have never worked with dialogue metadata. At the moment we're working on a documentary with a number of lengthy interviews. In each case the interview subject is talking to an off-camera producer. Accurate transcriptions of the raw interviews have been prepared. Only the interview subject's ANSWERS are transcribed; the producer's questions are not (and are also barely audible on the soundtrack). So, typically, the producer will ask a question and then the subject will give an answer that could be ten seconds or a minute. Then another question, then another answer, all in the one clip.
So what I am looking for is a step-by-step workflow (for someone who has never so much as TOUCHED Adobe Story before) for importing the transcripts into the raw footage and then ultimately having Premiere match the transcript up with the spoken audio, and then maximizing the usefulness of this with the newly annotated clips as source footage. Realizing that the interview answers are separated by barely-audible producer's questions, I assume that one challenge will be to let the software know that it should only be paying attention to the answers, and lining the text up appropriately, and not getting confused by the questions. Perhaps the answers need to be subclipped?
If there's a tutorial on this subject I would very much appreciate being pointed to it. If not, if someone could do a step-by-step (beginning with an empty Premiere CS5.5 project and nothing in Story) I'm sure there must be a number of other folks in my position who would benefit from it.
As a product suggestion: for documentary applications it seems to me that it would be much better to be able to cut and paste text directly from a text editor into Premiere and then let it fit it to the audio instead of going through Story. While I understand it was even more cumbersome prior to CS5.5, I don't think interviews in a documentary need most of what Story offers (unless I'm missing something), so it seems like an unnecessary complication that could be eliminated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter

Well, I tried following your steps, and I'm going wrong somewhere.
I created the film script and four scenes (one for each of four clips), giving the speaker's name as a character name (it's actually the same character in a continuous interview broken into several five-to-ten minute clips). I let Story number the scenes (1 through 4, as expected). I then exported an .astx file.
Within Premiere, I located the four clips and in the Scene column numbered them 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
When I right-click on one of the clips, select "attach script file," and point to the exported .astx file, I get the following error message: "Failed to attach script file to the following clip: \MyProjectName.prproj\FolderNameWIthinProject\00019.mts [Matching scene number not found]" (of course I have replaced the path and folder names in this example with generic names since the actual names reveal my client company's name).
Opening and inspecting the .astx file in a text editor I confirm that it does in fact contain scene numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, for the numbered scenes. Likewise I confirm the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, in the Scene number column for the four relevant clips.
Any idea what the problem is?

CS5 - When Capable for nanoFlash Sound with Premiere CS5

Well Folks, here we go again. I made the mistake of ordering and paying
for and going through the grief of installing CS5 - I should have my head
examined (as my Dad used to say to me frequently!), after 13 years of
purchasing the latest Adobe updates. But excuse me, to the subject:
I have an EX1 with nanoFlash producing stunning pictures at 1920x1080 30p
100 Mbps Long GOP MXF Files, and Premiere CS5 handles the video beautifully,
but the audio right out of the box for me and all the other nano people is
gutter garbage, with stereo, one audio channel lagging the other (which can
only be laboriously fixed with each individual clip - argggghhh)!
And Adobe, in its infinite marketing hype and wisdom has decided that users
such as I are not important enough to fix this issue, even with the update!
Does anyone at Adobe or out there anyplace have any notion as to when this
will be FIXED?
In the meantime, after a total rewrite of my hard drive OS and all the other
apps for a clean install, I am back to CS4, using Premiere CS4 with the Main
Concept plug in enabling the appropriate handling of my nano files. But good
greif! The time it takes to get out of the timeline, and particularly so compared
to the otherwise superb performance of Premeire CS5.
Convergent Designs - the company which developed and makes the nanoFlash
and related products announces that Adobe has two nanos in hand!
I know, I know, I should have my head examined. But if anyone out there has
any comments avoiding that, I's appreciate the latest info or even gossip!!!!

AndyUrtu:
In response to your query above re output on my nano, with which I am having difficulty in PPCS5:
Video: 1920x1080, pixel depth 32, frame rate 29.97, pixel aspect ratio 1.0,
MPEG 2 - 4:2:2 - progressive - CBR 100,000 Mbit/sec - Long GOP N 15 M 3
Audio: PCM AES-3 - 48,000 Hz 24 Bit - 2 Channel
Soooo, I think that pretty well covers it! Now for some commentary, and to me, the
interesting query about trying other settings! Frankly, I hadn't even thought of that.
First, according to all the users I admire and respect, and according to the principals
of CG (Convergent Designs), the 100 Mbits/sec settings seem best and ideal in
terms of securing the best picture quality at the "lowest" data rate (if you can call
that a "low" data rate!). So I'm really not willing to change the video set up. But
I find the idea of doing something different with the audio interesting, and may
try some different settings, since my (and others') issue is with the audio.
From the outset, the principals at CG reported that there were problems with the
audio in nano files with PPCS5, and they implied that Adobe would likely provide
a fix. So I went ahead and purchased the nano and the Production Pemium Suite CS5
with the expectation that a solution would shortly be forthcoming.
You and I are not alone in experiencing this problem, notwithstanding comments to the
contrary!
And I took Harm's (another one of my Heros!) to heart, and just posted my issue
Adobe's Bug site.
I may be mistaken, but I believe that CG has just produced the thousandth nano,
and while this is miniscule compared to other devices providing files for Adobe,
for those of us who own a nano, the issue is monumental - personally and professionally,
the combo of the Ex1 and the nano produces such stunning fidelity for anything
under 20 or 30 thousand, that I am not willing to settle for anything less.
I hope that the Adobe person will supply some hard data here about the nano
settings which provide error free handling of nano files! It would be MUCH
appreciated.

Capturing VHS through DV cam to FCP - Audio clipping!!

Hey all,
I'm capturing a VHS through my DV cam (it has analogue to digital version) and when it comes into FCP the audio is clipping (going above 0db)
Is there anyway to lower the input volume?
Thankyou
Paul

The camera doesn't let you change the input volume
What I did was:
Made the VIDEO ONLY go from VCR > DV CAM > MAC
But made the audio go to VCR > PC LINE IN > PC LINE OUT > DV CAM > MAC
When the audio came through my PC - I lowered the LINE IN volume so on the FCP audio level meters the audio peaked at -6dbs.
Not a bad idea hey
Lucky I had all the cables and connectors laying around.

PC Recognizes HV20 but no frames are captured in Premiere CS5? (Or HDVSplit)

Hi there.
Recently upgraded my laptop to a nice Sager NP8130 as a mobile editing workstation, and when I went to begin capturing HDV footage the other day, I wasn't able to!
My PC detects the camera (Canon HV20) fine, it shows up in device manager as functioning. In Adobe Premiere CS5, and HDVSplit I can use the playback controls to shuttle the tape around, and I even get timecode feedback correctly on the PC.
But no matter what, I can't get any dang video to capture!
Camera and cable are definitely working fine; I dug out my old laptop and captured the footage I needed with no problem.
If anyone has any ideas, or any experience with this error, I would dearly appreciate any input,
Thanks!

Unfortunately, with no success, I also tried that method of switching to the Legacy firewire driver, as it used to be a common suggestion back in the vista days.

How to capture DV video with Date in Premiere CS5?

Hi,
I'm running Premiere CS5 on a Mac (Lion osx 10.7), and for the first time want to transfer a bunch of DV tapes I have recorded over the years. The camera I am using for the transfer is a Panasonic PV-GS250. I would like to be able to transfer over the original date/timecode information in each individual clip so I know when the scene was shot.
Is this possible? I've tried reading through the docs and searched the web, but can't seem to figure out if/how to do this. And/or how to even view that metadata information from within Premiere.
If Premiere is unable to accomplish this, is there a better software that will allow me to capture the video like this?
Thanks,
Eric

Since CS4 (I think...or CS5...) there is the option to display the shot date.
On the bin window click it's context menu button (the upper right one) and choose Metadata display... then choose under Dynamic Media->Shot Date.
If this doesn work with your files, then try the Basic->Date Created choice under metadata too.
This will display on your bin the date of the shooting. It works perfectly with dv tapes captured via firewire. Please note that if the tapes being captured are dubbed tapes, they should be dubbed via firewire too, to maintain metadata. Any other way the metadata will be lost.
