Premiere equivalent to Vegas Pro 'regions'?

I just started using the Premiere CS5 trial and was wondering, what is the Premiere equivalent of Vegas Pro's 'regions'? Basically, in Vegas Pro I'll make a bunch of clips on one project file and mark each clip as a region. Then I name reach region to what I want to final file name to be. Finally I batch render all the regions in all the video formats I want, and Vegas will spit out all the versions of all the videos all properly named in a directory. So far I can't figure out how do that in Premiere though! Anyone know how?

Ok, well thanks for all the help! I tried multiple sequences and I think that will do ok for what I need. Having to send them all one by one to render is a bummer, but I'll feature request it.
I agree. I will join you in a feature request.
1) For temporary files I set Premiere to use another directory on another drive as I don't want those types of file poluting my main work drive. However it's still creating some new directories/files amongst all my footage, such as "Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save" directory and "Encoded Files" directory. Is there any way to have it not do that? I archive all my content on blu-ray, hdd, etc, which I keep at a bank vault and I need to not have those types of temporary work directories amongst those files.
No, you can't turn those off; you can turn off the Auto Save feature in preferences, but I don't know if that prevents the folder from being created or not. The Auto Save folder are project backups, so they're pretty small, and only so many are created as you specify in the preferences. The Encoded Files folder is--I guess--supposed to be where you send exports. Nothing will go there unless you specify it to go there, or put it there manually. It's slightly annoying, but I wouldn't worry about it. I've meaning to file a feature request to eliminate this automatic folder... now is the time I guess.
2) Do you know how many installs Premiere allows on one product key? Vegas allows 3, so I have it on my work pc and my work laptop. I was wondering if the same was possible with Premiere. It would be even better if I could also have Premiere on my mac laptop with the same product key, that would be ideal.
You get two concurrent activations; terms of use dictates that you're not supposed to use them simultaneously, but the kind of arrangement you're describing is (I believe) within your usage rights.
3) I notice initially the preview video footage looks a bit rough even though I have full resolution selected, but if I select "playback resolution -> full" again then it fixes and looks good. Seems like I have to do that once every time I load a project. Just a bug I presume?
Sometimes this happens to me, sometimes not. It could be a graphics driver issue (put I'm on a PC with a completely different OS and GPU), but I have no idea... so yeah... bug report
4) I'm getting no audio on my footage in Premiere. Is this maybe just a limit on the trial app I suppose? There are two audio tracks in all my footage, a 5.1 track and a regular stereo track, but neither one appears.
Possibly. Depends what your source footage is. Check here: Limitations of the Premiere Pro CS5 and CS4 trial versions

  • How does Sony Vegas Pro 12 compare to Premiere Pro CS6?

    About 2 months ago, I purchased Premiere Pro CS6 retail box version from Best Buy.  With everything going to the CC, I can't get upgrades unless I join the CC.  This is NOT something I want to do!  I would like to know if the chroma keying and image stabilization in Sony Vegas pro 12 are just as good or similar to Premiere Pro? I already read about how to transfer the product license on the Adobe website.  If I decide to make the switch, I will list my Premiere Pro on Ebay. Another reason why I may want to get Vegas Pro is because I found out about the AVCHD bug in Premiere AFTER I purchased it.  It has been over a year and Adobe has still not fixed the bug. I have a feeling they will never fix the bug because of the new CC vesion.  I am currently about half way through the classroom in a book from Adobe and have not yet edited any of my own videos.  My video camera is a Canon Vixia HF S20 and my computer is a new Dell XPS 8500 with Core i7 and 12 GB of ram. Just a bit frustrated on what to do.  If I can't sell my Premiere Pro for a good enough price, I will keep it and switch to Vegas or some other program after it becomes obsolete.

    You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro.  That's what I did.  So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
    They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate.  This program is like After Effects.  I haven't started playing with that yet.
    Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2.  That's a mouth full.  Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express.  The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate.  The Express version is still a great program for adding effects.  For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
    Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice. 
    I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate.  It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files.  So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
    Right now I have CS5 and CS6.  Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

  • What are Sony Vegas Pro 9 "commands" for?

    I have a question about SVP9. (Sony Vegas Pro 9)What are literal "commands" (shortcut key by default is "C") for Sony Vegas?I have no Idea what they do, but when i search the question, I get things about the other kind of command. (ex. Split.)

    Here's a good resource - this link leads to december 2010 in a 25 pages long topic - the topic started in 2005. So for the older entries you should check if there are modern (64 bit) versions.

  • Vegas Pro and Quicktime on XP

    Hi, Y'all--
    This is really not a question, except to ask why nobody seems to answer any of the questions in this area.
    I actually had a question and had to find my own answer. Hope what I discovered helps someone and saves a few hours of your life....
    I recently started working with Vegas Pro (an outstanding video editor for the PC, BTW). I have two cameras that record in the Apple .MOV codec. Vegas recognized, displayed, loaded, and rendered them into .AVI files-- no problems. Then, I made The Mistake: I downloaded the new Quicktime version that Apple had been annoying me about for months. As a result, Vegas would only display .MOV files as black. I had Windows XP go back to its state before the download using System Restore. No joy. Vegas still displayed only black .MOV files and now Quicktime didn't work at all. So, back to the Original Configuration-- Quicktime still didn't work, and neither, of course, did Vegas with .MOV's. I removed QT and downloaded another copy from Apple, then removed and re-installed Vegas. Nope; all is still black.
    Then I remembered that I had a CD-ROM with an older version of QT bundled on it. Replaced the new version with it: Nope-- it was TOO old; Apple told me to go and install the latest version. Right.
    This time on the Apple QuickTime download page, I found a small-fonted, light-blue link to "Previous Versions of Quicktime" about halfway down on the left.
    Go thou and click on it!! On the "Previous Versions" page that comes up, there will be a Version 7.6 for Windows (dated Jan 21, 2009). Remove whatever QT version is on your machine and download this one; it's the solution! Vegas will recognize your .MOV files (again)!
    Now: Repent of your desire to upgrade Quicktime. It's the road to ****.

    Apologies to all: I should have mentioned my version of Vegas Pro. Users of Vegas Pro 9 or 10 probably don't even have the problem. I use 8.0b (Sony wants 'way too many hundreds of dollars for an upgrade). When I asked them for help on this issue via email, the autoresponse was "You have Legacy software and are not entitled to help". My post is for others like me with an abandoned program that's only three years old.

  • HDR-CX700V and Vegas Pro 10

    I'm going to buy the HDR-CX700V camcorder. It can record the 1080/60p format. However there is no such a format among the Vegas Pro 10 templates. Does this mean I can't edit the 1080/60p footage by Vegas Pro 10 ?

  • Moving a too late phrase in a Logic Pro region there is no change

    Hi.
    When I cut, paste  and move a too late phrase in a Logic Pro region to an earlier spot it does not change anything when played back!
    May be it has to do with automation I have on it? It asks me move or don't move automation when I move it to the right spot, I tried both
    no change. And I thought I new something about Logic Pro?! Thank you for your time and patience.
                                                                                                                                                            W.W.

    No.. it isn't likely to be automation...
    Is it the entire region you are trying to move or a part of it?
    If it is the entire region, just move the region in the arrangement window.
    If it is a part of the region, split the region (using the scissors tool) and move the part of the region you want to play back earlier or later, to the place in the arragement you want it to play.. If you want the part of the Automation for that part of the region to 'stick' with the moved region, select yes to the "Do you want to move automation' question.. if not, select no...
    Bear in mind the snap value controls exactly where you can drag the region to... It will automatically snap the beginning of the region to the nearest Bar for example, if you have snap set to Bar.... If it is set to Smart, it tries to make the decision for you which may or may not be what you want.. If it isn't..  set the snap value to an appropriate setting from it's drop down menu... depending on where exactly you want the start of the region to 'snap' to... nearest bar, tick and so on..

  • Used Lenovo H530 for Adobe PP/AE and Sony Vegas Pro 13.0

    I have a very limited budget, about $400. I have been limping along with a Quad Core Pentium, so just about anything is an upgrade. Has anybody used a Lenovo H530 for Adobe PP/AE and/or Sony Vegas Pro 13? There are a number of them for sale on eBay more times than not for about $400 +/-. I know I will need a good CUDA card to really see decent performance. But for now I would love a system that makes editing a lot less painful and can handle the graphic card upgrade at some point. Any AE users on the H530? Any recos for other used systems around the $400 point?
    Thanks,
    - DK

    ......you'd be better off looking for a used i7 gaming laptop which would have an NVidia GPU in it....you CAN find 17.3 inch screen models, ( 1920x1080) with decent external poets and 2 internal HDD bays. However, you would probably STILL need to upgrade memory and put in SSDs.
    better to SAVE or BORROW more money to get an appropriate machine.

  • Does Final Cut allow for "multi-cameras," like Vegas Pro, that would allow me to create split-screens in a movie?

    I am trying to create a front and back camera view from two cameras simultaneously.
    I am considering the purchase of video editing software that goes beyond iphoto. I am told that Vegas Pro will do this. Does Final Cut? (I would prefer to work in a Mac program).

    Andnick,
    Thanks for your reply. My bad. My terminology was mistaken. I meant to ask whether I could do "picture-in-picture," so that I have a rear view camera (view) in a forward view clip. Does that make sense?

  • Differences between Premiere Elements 11 and Pro CS6?

    Hello,
    I would like to know the differences between Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 in relation to video editing. If someone can point me to any resource on the web like a comparision chart of features, differences etc that would be perfect. I understand the Premiere Pro CS6 would have a lot of extra bell and whistles, special effects etc... but what I would like to know if there is a difference in terms of the the quality of the Final Product?
    Our needs for a video editor are very simple. We need to create simple titles and text overlay to show the name of the speaker and/or topic. A few times we the audio was not recorded on the video camcera but we do have the audio recorded for the event on a separate audio recorder in .WAV format. So we would like to sync up the video with this audio. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    And in cases where the audio was recorded with video, we would like to increase the gain/volume for the audio or clean up some hum or background noise. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    That is it, we do not need any special effects or animations etc... Please let me know if Adobe Premiere Elements 11 can help us meet our needs. If there is any other software that would be more suitable please advise.
    Thank you!

    I cannot speak for CS6.  Here are thoughts from a new APE11 user's view:

    APE11 provides simplicity and good functionality for this stated need.
    we would like to sync up the video with this audio. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    If your video and audio contain a clap, you can manually sync by sliding the audio peak along the video.  The audio wave form will be blanked out when sliding, with a frame counter showing how many whole frames you have moved the audio at each moment, so it is a "drag, stop, compare, drag another frame or two, stop, compare" process that works.  (Finer adjustment than whole frames is not possible.)  Once the sync is achieved, select both audio and video track and link them. (The stability of the sync over time will depend on the accuracy of the recorder, and can pose a problem in long recordings. )  
    increase the gain/volume for the audio or clean up some hum or background noise. Can this be done in Adobe Premiere Elements 11?
    APE11 allows adjusting the volume levels and also provides level normalization if desired, but more involved audio cleanup such as hiss and hum removal, compression, or auto gain are not available.
    Please let me know if Adobe Premiere Elements 11 can help us meet our needs. If there is any other software that would be more suitable please advise.
    You should download the APE11 trial to judge for yourself how well it will meet all your needs. 

  • Importing AVI files from Adobe Premiere into Final Cut Pro 5

    I am editing a video for someone who captured the footage on a PC with Adobe Premiere, and he gave me a hard drive with the AVI files. Is there any way I can import them or convert them to import in Final Cut Pro 5?
    If not, would settings should he use when he exports the captured footage so that I can use it?

    Hello there,
    you can use QuickTime Player to convert the files. You need QuickTime Pro for export functionality, though.
    Step by step as follows:
    1. Open the AVI file in QT Player, select "File > Export".
    2. In the "Export:" pulldown select "Movie to QuickTime Movie".
    3. Select "Default settings" in the "Use:" pulldown.
    4. Click "Options" right to the first pulldown menu.
    5. Click "Settings" in the "Video" pane.
    6. Set Compression type to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC".
    7. Set other options (interlaced/progressive) as needed.
    8. Click "OK".
    9. Set audio options in the "Sound" pane using the "Settings" button. (I don't have an AVI w/ sound here, so please see FCPs DV-NTSC Easy setup for approriate audio settings).
    10. Click "OK".
    11. Optionally: name the file.
    12. Click "Save".
    For the remaining files, use the "Most recent settings" option in the "Use:" pulldown of the export dialog.
    Unfortunately, while QT Player can export multiple files simultaneously, it has no batch capabilities, so you have to open and export each file by hand.
    Also, I'm not sure if QuickTime recompresses the files or just changes the container (even if the codec is the same).
    Other than that I always recommend Flip4Mac's Episode for this kinda work. This app even has a conversion preset for this. Also Episode allows for changing the container format (AVI -> QuickTime) without recompressing the frames.
    Hop this helps, Oliver

  • Need help installing Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on MacBook Pro.

    I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on my MacBook Pro. The disc is appearing on my desktop, but when I go to use the installation system, it's telling me the program is not supported. Here is what I'm seeing when I open the disc:
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Which version of mac os x are you using?
    That looks like the install files for a windows operating system.
    You would need the photoshop elements 6 disk for a mac operating system.

  • Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

    The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
    I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
    Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

    25424...
    Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
    According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
    Fill Left, Fill Right
    The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
    From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
    If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
    Is the speaker system OK?
    We will be watching for your results.
