Premiere CS6, final rendered final pixelated?!

I am having an issue rendering a file on Adobe Premiere CS6.  It's for youtube.
Format: H.264
Preset: YoutubeHD 720p 29fps
export video checked, export audio unchecked
use maximum render quality checked
I've recorded the file with quicktime player version 10.3.  I was able to render perfectly fine with these settings yet in a time constraint issue, this just happens and has caused me quite a bit of problems today.  Any help would be appreciated.

The 2560x1440 clip size is exactly double that of 720p (1280x720), and since you want to deliver as 720p, I would use a 720p sequence. Maybe you already are. However, what is the frame rate of the source video? Try to right-click it in the Bin in Premiere to see specs there. Or just drop a clip onto the "New Item" icon next to TrashCan and this will create a sequence to match clip, then hit Sequence at top menu and check the sequence settings in the drop down. You may be better of changing the screen resolution to 1280x720 before doing the capture, so you have 720 natively and don't have to convert down. This would create smaller source files also and reduce the load on the system trying to encode the screen grab.
Have you converted this particular type of content before, the thin black lines on a white background? You may have lines that are only a pixel or two wide, then when you cut the resolution in half...there goes some of the lines. Does that make sense? That in combination with how compression works and you have a recipe for poor results unfortunately.
It is possible to change sequences mid-way through an edit, just create a New Sequence with desired settings, go back to edit sequence and Select All/Copy then Paste content into New sequence that you made. Continue editing.
Thanks

  • Why does my Premiere CS6 forget rendering?

    We've been using Premiere since 5.0 - then 5.5 and now 6.0 - and recently, we've noticed that our projects forgets the rendering every time they're re-loaded.
    If I open a project, render the timeline and saves, it's not rendered when opening the project again.
    I'm 100% sure that this was not the case in 5.0 and 5.5
    Also, it seems like the project recreates peak files every time we open - again, 100% not the case earlier on.
    Here's our setup:
    OS: Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Computer: MacPro
    CS: Premiere pro 6.0.2
    Project settings => scratch: video and audio is same as project and video/audio previews are on an internal disk for itself.
    Preferences => media: Media cache files and media cache database are on an internal disk for itself.
    Can someone please tell us if we can fix this - if it's a bug or if we're simply not operating cs6 the right way?

    We were getting the regeneration of peak files each time a project is loaded, but found that ticking "save media cache next to originals" fixed the issue.
    My co-worker was having the issue you described with render files, but found that the render files were the very last thing that loaded when the project was opened, and if he waited a few minutes they would suddenly pop up. I wonder if the fact that it's not finding the peak files is causing it to not move on to the next stage and find the render files?
    We're on macs as well.

  • Final Cut Pro X to Premiere CS6 workflow destroys FCP X events

    Hello,
    I just got a call by a customer who tried to convert and FCP X project via XML to Premiere CS6 for a further AfterEffects workflow. He experienced the following problem, which I can rebuild completely. These are the steps:
    1 - Export an FCP X project which relinks to transcoded optimized media to XML
    2 - Convert the XML (.fcpxml) with Xto7 app to legacy XML (.xml) format
    3 - Open Premiere CS6 and import the XML (.xml)
    4 - Close Premiere CS6 and open FCP X and the exported project
    FCP X warns immediately that something has been modiefied. This is just an information which I can only accept. All the clips that were optimized are reded out and marked "Modified File". Now do the follwing:
    5 - Try to relink the modified media and chose the optimized media file in the transcoded media folder
    As soon as you accept the relink FCP X deletes the file in the event library and ALSO in the Original Media folder AND in the Transcoded Media folder and moves both files to the trash. This could be destructiv, if you are working on a SAN storage, like an EditShare system.
    But even if you are able to restore the files and move them back in place, there seems to be no chance to relink the files in FCP X to make your project working again. As soon the relink comand is executed the files will be moved to the trash again. If I do not try to relink, the files keep marked red and as Modified Media. If you have a look in the metadata, you will see, that they have been modified by Premiere, which seems to cause the trouble.
    Does anyone has a workaround or working handover to AfterEffects? Or does anyone else encounter similar problems with XML or third party apps destroying metadata within FCP X files?
    Appreciate all solutions!
    Btw: This only affects transcoded media. Every time I worked with original media only, the handover to Premiere works undestructive, but the media was pending in Premiere until the app crashs.

    Finally I solved the problem by myself, doing a deeper web research.
    Actually it's Premiere CS6 or AfterEffects which adds some metadata to the clips, that causes FCP X to ignore those files and shows them as "Modified media". But - and that's the good thing - you can turn off this behaviour in AfterEffects or Premiere. Here is how:
    In AfterEffects
    go to Preferences > Media & Disk Cache and uncheck the boxes refering to the XMP metadata
    In Premiere
    go to Preferences > Media and uncheck the box "Write XMP ID to Files on Import"
    Those XMP metadata help CS6 to share media cache files and previews and may improve stability and performance but if you are in a more FCP X based workflow, deactivating this option may prevent from loosing media.
    A fast check with the same procedure discribed above went well and everything stays untouched and online in FCP X.

  • Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
    But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
    Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

    Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

  • Moving project from premiere cs6 into final cut

    hi, i have a project running in premiere cs6 for a tv series and i work in pc. My supervisor, want to see my project in his mac, working with final cut. My problem is, that he needs all the project itself. with the sequences, the nests, the cuts and the effects that i 've used so he can make changes if needed.. Is there any way to export this project somehow so i can transfer it and work in final cut?
    Thanks

    My problem is, that he needs all the project itself. with the sequences, the nests, the cuts and the effects that i 've used so he can make changes if needed..
    Your boss is an arse and should know better than make you jump thru' these hoops.  My guess is he is not an editor and probably a control freak.
    Give him an XML and an EDL plus a drive full of source material... then ask him what else he needs.
    Good time for him and you to define job responsibilties.

  • I am trying to get better playback rendering speed Premiere CS6

    I am new to Adobe Premiere CS6.  I am trying to get faster playback rendering speed from my machine.
    Windows 7
    i7 4790K Haswell overclocked to 4.5 (watercooled with Corsair)
    16 GB DDR3@799MHz
    Asus Z87-WS (4 double graphic card slots)
    Geforce GTX 760 (Primary)  GPU hardware acceleration enabled
    Quadro FX5800
    250GB Samsung solid state C: (Windows and Adobe)
    250GB Crucial solid state (Scratch)
    2TB Seagate 7200RPM (video files)
    3TB Seagate 7200RPM (storage)
    Seasonic 1000watt PSU
    I am primarily editing GoPro videos with effects like TimeWarp or Twixtor and color correction.
    I have tried to run the PPBM6 program with no success. I kept getting failure to access files.
    I have been looking at adding a second GTX760 with SLI so they will work together.  And possible removing the Quadro if it is slowing things down.
    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    ...are you SURE your 760 GPU is "enabled" by PPro, and giving you the option of "Mercury Playback Acceleration" under  "General Preferences" ??? If the "Mercury Acceleration" is GREYED OUT and limits you to "software Only", go to Studio 1 website and learn to apply the well known "hack" to enable your 760 in PPro,OR, download their simple program to do it for you.
    ...Your machine is POWERFUL....especially with your CPU overclock......you MAY want to increase your memory to 32 GB if you are using After Effects....even PPro MAY run better with 32 GB, depending on your workflow.....most systems like yours have at LEAST 32GB system memory.
    .....The GoPro codec is natively HIGHLY COMPRESSED and difficult to process, even for beefy machines. That is why they provide the free Cineform tool,( which used to be an expensive professional editing codec), to convert some,or,all of your footage to a more "edit friendly" AVI codec, which will FLY on your machine. HOWEVER, those new AVI files are HUGE.....TRIPLE the original size and requiring a LARGE and FAST disk transfer system. Right now, your single 7200 drive for your media is your SLOWEST component in the chain. The CHEAPEST improvement for you would be to add another MATCHING 2TB 7,200 rpm drive to your existing one and then use the 2 drives to create a fast RAID 0 directly off the mother board to improve the speed of your "media drive". THEN, you MUST insure that this RAID 0 is DILIGENTLY BACKED UP in case of a drive failure in the RAID. This ALSO means you must protect against an unexpected power failure which could destroy the RAID data if the failure happened during a critical write operation.....so,a good UPS is required.
    You can OBSERVE how the various components in your system are performing while performing strenuous tasks by bringing up the "task manager" window and watching the CPU load.... if all cores are PEGGED at near 100%, you are "CPU bound". As you are ALREADY overclocked, you can't do anything other than to TRANSCODE your footage to the free Cineform. Your ENABLED GPU can be observed....real time....using the free MSI Afterburner,( or, similar).  Certain operations are accelerated by the GPU with PPro....not ALL!!  Scaling and some effects will use use the "Mercury Acceleration" while rendering previews AND during export.In some cases, rendering previews,or, exporting can be sped up by TEN TIMES by Mercury Acceleration. Watch the "GPU Usage" on Afterburner to see if the GPU is indeed being used, and if you are "saturating" it to its capacity of 100% with accelerated effects.
    Make sure your Windows is fully updated to the current time........make sure your NVidia 760 has the most recent driver and DON'T use the Quadro for now. Set your "Windows page file" to be STATIC on your "C" drive at 24GB. Disable "Hibernation" Set all drives NOT to allow "indexing". Do NOT allow any spinning HDD to be over 50% filled....performance WILL decrease.....make sure any HDD is defragged,( do NOT defrag an SSD ! ). Stop all unnecessary processes, esp. anti-virus programs, while editing. Find out how to best "tune" windows to speed it up at the PPBM 6 and 7 websites.
    BE AWARE that the "run of the mill" SSDs use cheaper Sandforce controllers, and are less suited to handle highly compressed digital video files. Samsung PRO models and recent Crucial M550 series SSDs ONLY are recommended for video use. Both these non-Sandforce SSDs maintain high WRITE speeds,( over 400MB/sec), AND maintain their high speeds after reaching their "steady state" condition. Cheaper EVO series and non-Marvell controlled SSDs MAY lose their fast write speeds over time and SLOW YOU WAY DOWN !!!  Test your current SSDs by transferring large video files between them  and watching MB per second that appears under "details" in the pop up window during transfer. Make sure none are slow.....test them with HD Tune Pro as well.
    Certain non-Adobe plug-ins and certain effects may NOT use all the CPU threads well,or, may not use the GPU.....forcing the CPU to do additional work. You will have to identify problem plug-ins,or, effects by switching them on and off to see if any cripple your system.
    Your machine is POWERFUL.....go to PPBM7 website and read the "tweakers" page to learn more....then, register for free and TEST your machine with their video benchmark test for PPro. It should do WELL.....AND it will help identify if you have any "bottlenecks" which are impairing your system.
    Good Luck !!!!!.....THEN, start using CC 2014.....like Patton said : "...all glory is FLEETING !!"......so is the lifespan of former PPro versions !!!!!!

  • Final rendering of video is low quality and too bright

    Here is the link to my original video clip, the video clip in the project, and the final rendered copy all on my monitor at the same time:

    Here is the text of each video when fullscreened screened:
    http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t63/shadon1nja/RenderText_zpsd1240701.png
    The picture got downsised which makes it harder to see the issue,but here is most of the it:
    The final copy is lower quality and way too bright. Noticibly too bright. The clean darks turn into rough gray, and the quality is noticibly lower as well. I have checked the "use maximum render quality" and tried exportiing in AVI and MP4, and nothing is fixing it. Any ideas?

    First of all, what type of file do you need?  If you're looking for lossless quality then I would suggest exporting a quicktime file with the Animation codec or some other lossless codec.  However, these type of files are huge and they might not play back on your desktop.  But, if you're just going to put this video on the internet when you're finished with it then I would suggest starting with one of the Youtube or Vimeo H.264 presets and modifying it to match your clip.  It still won't look as good as your original, but you can't expect miracles when working in SD and exporting to H.264, which is a very lossy codec to begin with.  If you want to try exporting to a lossless Quicktime or AVI, then change the settings so they look something like this:

    The first two can be solved pretty easy, but won't help much in light of the third.  We need to solve that one first.  Once you get PP to open and remain open with a new project and new sequence, then we can fix the first two.  So...

  • AME rendered files are bigger than in Premiere CS6

    Hi!
    I have a big project - 6 hours prepared for rendering in 4 sequences (each sequence is about 1h 30 minutes - 1h 45 minutes) I try to export them with H.264 - Blu ray default settings. Estimated file size for each sequence is about 17 - 20 GB, but when I export them into AME I got files 52 - 55 GB ! When I export same sequences one by one directly from Premiere CS6 I got 17 - 20 GB files. What's wrong with AME? Same input, same settings but files are more than duble sized?!
    Thx!

    Here are the screenshots of all export settings related to one of these projects. As you can see estimated file size is 16321 MB and when I click on "export", rendering is about 15% faster and file is about 17 GB. But when I click on "queue" rendering is slower and files are about 52 GB

  • Premiere CS6 / Canon 5D / Plural Eyes / Workflow .

    Hello there,
    looking for workflow solutions.  switching from FCP 7 - Premiere CS6. 
    Editing 2 canon 5D cameras.  (1920 x 1080 23.976)
    Audio recorded on Zoom. 
    Sync with Plural Eyes
    Final output Web HD / ipad
    Found that I need to export new master clips with audio and video synced for multi-cam to work seamlessly in Premiere CS6 (and also for preservation purposes).  What should my export settings in the Media Encoder be for my new masterclips?  When I select .H264 it defaults to the Android tablet setting and produces poor quality renders (pixelated and banding) and if I select use sequence settings, I get an mpeg codec that my computer does not recognize.
    Any and all suggestions welcomed.  Many thanks! 

    Now I'm intrigued. Did you ever do this with Premiere pro CS 5.5 and experience the slipping? I have on occasion experienced some slipping with very long spanned clips in 5.5 but this is understandable.
    Anyway, if I wanted to export a new clip at the best quality I could, I would use Prores 422 HQ. I often do that in some projects if I'm using a lot of effects on a particular clip because Premiere Pro will just bog down. So in the sequence I set the in and out points for the work area, then just export that section as Prores 422 HQ highest render quality. Then I import that .mov and place it above the clip in the sequence and then deactivate the original clip so it doesn't get bogged down. Later if I wanted to, I could deactivate the .mov and reactivate the original to get the best quality but this type of transcode to prores is not really noticable. This is on a Mac with the prores codecs installed. If I was on a PC, I have heard good things about Cineform and DNXHD files. I would not use a long GOP codec such as any of the mpeg or H.264 flavors but if you have to use H.264 I'd use one for blu ray with a very high bitrate. I have a custom H.264 one that I use for uploads to Vimeo and Youtube that is  VBR from 14-40 mbs and this results in really good results when Youtube and Vimeo do their web-ready conversions.
    The slipping, however seems strange and might be a bug in CS6.

  • Considering dumping my iMac for a PC used for DSLR video editing on Premiere CS6. Help!

    So I edit mostly 1080p DSLR footage taken from my canon T3i camera. I purchased a 2011 (the latest model) iMac a little over a year ago, upgraded the RAM to 12GB and it has worked reasonably well. I purchased the base model for $1200 which has a quad core i5 processor, 512mb of video ram, and a measly 500gb hard drive. The past couple of days I have come to the realization that I only use Adobe Programs for graphically intensive work (premiere, after effects, etc). I originally bought my iMac for final cut, but FCPX SUCKS and I switched to Premiere CS6 which works like a dream. Anyways, I'm a senior in high school and do lots of video editing (going to major in video production in college). I'm likely going to differ college for a year and continue my video production business (pretty informal) as well as video production internships at a couple companies (so don't suggest that I get a laptop for portability, not an issue). I just shot an entire wedding with 2 DSLR's and the footage takes up over 20% of my hard drive which is unacceptable. This is very troublesome for me and has been clogging up my computer considerably. I have realized it would make a lot of sense to sell my iMac and purchase a PC that's not only faster, but has much more space. I was ideally looking to sell my iMac for $1000, and from that get a better and faster PC setup for my video editing. $200 would be allocated for a 24" 1080p LED 5ms Asus monitor (from newegg) which would leave $800 remaining for the PC. Ideally it'd be nice to have a little cash left over. Some things that sound appealing to me are: an intel i7 quad core proccessor at least 3.0+ Ghz,  16 GB of ram (maybe 8 to start), 1 GB of video RAM (here is where I'm stuck, my Imac had a Radeon 512mb video card in it, but I've heard premiere runs especially well with nVidia CUDA cards? Don't really know too much about this stuff.) I have no idea what type of card to get, and if I would even see a performance upgrade from my iMac. For storage I'd like at least 2TB of space, should I get two seperate 1 TB drives? One for boot and software and another for video files? Anyways, I assume I can benefit from selling my 2011 i5 iMac to get a faster PC equivalent at a lower price since I mainly edit videos (which is pretty graphically intense) from an HD DSLR camera. I've noticed premiere rendering times on my mac are starting to get pretty slow these days. Ideally it'd be nice to buy a desktop (already assembled) maybe from HP for around $600 (not including the monitor). I'm not completely against building a PC from parts (since I know a friend who can do it for me) I just need help figuring out WHAT exactly it is that I need and would benefit from.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

    Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
    Mac Pro:
    1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
    16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
    1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
    2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    Sequence:
    30Fps
    1920x1080
    Media:
    mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
    Issue:
    After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down.  Choppy video playback as well.  The problem is very annoying but  it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
    Things to note:
    Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
    Temp. Solution:
    The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer.  Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
    Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

    Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.

  • Media offline issue in premiere cs6

    I recently had my copy of Premiere CS6 fixed due to a handlertitler.dll problem. However, when it was finally fixed there was some playback issues, and about a third of my media is offline. How do I relink the media to where I can hear and see my video on Premiere CS6?

    Media Offline is most often caused by the links to it, which are absolute Paths, being changed. It could be a drive letter, a file Rename, or similar.
    I agree with Jim, that the best course of action is to let PrPro relink that media, when it asks "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705

  • PC/Premiere CS6 to Mac/FCP

    I have footage for my editor. My preliminary edits will be in Premiere (CS6) and I work on a PC. He will be working on a Mac using Final Cut Pro.
    Are there any file formats or things that I could do to ensure a seamless transfer? I was planning on exporting an AVI. I'd like the quality to be the highest possible. I don't want any codec drama.

    ...ensure a seamless transfer?
    I've never seen a 'seamless' transfer, but here's what I've done.
    Export your Pr project as a Final Cut Pro .xml, and cross your fingers.
    Depending on what is in your project, not everything will translate.
    AVID DNxHD is a good cross-platform quicktime codec...
    not officially 'lossless', but good quality and reasonable file size.
