Premiere Pro 1.5 AVI Files Not Recognized in CS4

The AVI files were captured using
Adobe Premiere 1.5 from a Canon XH-A1 camcorder. The same AVI files work
fine in Pinnacle Studio 14 as well as Adobe Premiere 1.5.

You found the key for me. The codec turned out to be Cineform Visually Perfect (right clicko on the file, "properties").
I found Cineform. I found a CVP "viewer" file at http://estore.cineform.com/neoplayer.aspx and installed it. Now PR CS5 reads those files just fine. Problem solved.
Thank you very much for your clear perception of the issue.

In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
Video:
The file is 2:21:29 in length.
720x480
Data rate 1489kbps
Total bitrate 1617kbps
29 frames/second
Audio:
Bit rate 128kbps
Channels 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate 48 kHz
The file is about 1.6Gb
This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
Suggestions?!

Adobe Premiere Pro Cutting out avi files

I have adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 When I add in my avi files it doesn't show the entire file. I import a 7min 36 second file that is 3.74 GBs and a date rate of 69219kbps. But once it imports it is 27 seconds.I know it would be possibal for me to convert the file but it is an HD file and there are going to be bigger files. I can't change what the video records in and it is WAY to much of a hassle to convert them (I make hundreds of videos and can't take the time to convert all of them multible times) When I open it in VLC, Adobe Bridge, Windows Media player, ect... It plays the file just fine but Adobe Premiere Pro won't read the file completely. Please Help

Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
*+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

If your library is in the standard layout of an iTunes folder containing an iTunes Media folder (and you've already copied over the media) then you can simply copy the iTunes library files and album artwork folder across to the new machine recreating the same layout. If the media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder then see make a split library portable for a way to get the library into a portable form, after which you can copy over the library files.

AVCHD in Premiere Pro CS 5 - exporting file type questions

Firstly, this is my first post on here, so apologies if I'm breaking any kind of etiquette. Also, I'm not a very technical person and would appreciate any comments or advice to be in layman's terms!
So, I film and edit weddings as part of a small company. I've recently had my camera and editing system upgraded to a Sony NXcam and Premiere Pro CS5 and I'm having a little trouble getting used to the new file types and settings (previously used miniDV tapes in SD with a Canon XL2 in an older version of Premiere).
My pc handles the AVCHD footage fine but the way that I edit means that I'll want to export a sequence of edited clips as one long clip, and then re-import it. For example, I'm editing the wedding ceremony from footage from two cameras - I'm going to edit the full version of the ceremony and then I'm also going to edit it down into a version that is a highlights montage in slo-motion to music. The way I do this is once I'm happy with the full version of the ceremony I'll export it and then re-import it so it's one long clip I can play with rather than two sets of footage chopped up on a sequence. So I can alter the speed of this new long clip, and then chop it up and stick in some dissolves to put together the montage. Then I use this montage in the middle of my final film, between the preparations and the reception. The full, edited version of the ceremony is used as an extra on the DVD.
Previously this was fairly straight forward. I was always working with footage in 16:9 and could export it as an avi file, then re-import that avi file with no problems - presto; the exact same-looking footage as I was previously working with.
Now I'm editing with avchd mts footage (1920x1080 - 25p - square pixels?). Naturally, if I export it as a 16:9 avi and re-import it, the aspect ratio and frame size is all wrong for the project sequence.
I just want to know what the best file format and settings are to use to export footage that will match up. There is no option that I can see to export edited footage as mts files. There is a long list of file types, most of which I don't recognise or know anything about and have never needed to use in the past.
Sorry if this is a silly question, I've tried searching for "working with AVCHD in premiere pro cs5" in google and not been able to find anything that can help me on there, so I thought I'd try a forum like this.
Cheers
Adam

I think we may have a slight miscommunication. This is the way that I interpreted your original post.
Lets say you shot the Smith/Jones wedding this past weekend. You start a new project and have a Service Sequence and a Reception Sequence. You finish editing both the service and reception and just a standard full length video. Now you want to create a montage with clips from both the service and reception. In this montage you will have different effects like Black and white, Slo Mo, blurs, etc. So what you do is export the service and reception and then import those two files (or one long one) and then cut that apart and add your music and effects to make your montage. Is that correct?
The way that I do it works the exact same way except that you skip the export part.
When I edit a wedding I generally have 4 sequences when I am finished. I have a Pre Wedding montage, service, reception, and ending highlights. The Pre Wedding montage is just made up of shots from before the service (bride and bridesmaids getting ready, shots of the venu, groom and groomsmen and so on). Then I have a full edit of the service and a full edit of the reception. After I am finished with those 3 sequences I start working on the ending highlight collage. I make a new sequence for the collage then I go to my bin and drag the "Service Sequence" up into the preview monitor (I know in my previous post I said double click. That does not work, because that just opens it up as a sequence. Sorry about that). In the preview monitor I scrub through the footage until I find a section that I want in the montage. Then I set in and out points around that clip and drop it into my Montage timline, and what ever effects to it that I want, then move on to the next clip and do the same thing. To me it seems that we have the same process except that you have to wait for the export (which is always going to give you a quality loss, how much of a loss depends on format and settings).
Please let me know if I have misread your process.

Premiere Pro CC7 and CC6 will not put video or stills onto time line for editing.

Premiere Pro CC7 and CC6 will not add video or stills onto time line for editing. It wil play the clip but that's it. I have tried many different vidoe files, mov, avi and others plus jpeg stills, but no matter what i do i cannot move it to time line to edit. I have the 30 day trial version. I have watched the tutorial, done same thing, no luck.
Any ideas and help appreciated otherwise I 'll just bin the whole program. I have tried it on Final Cot pro 7 and there is no problem (thats on the mac, the premiere pro is on pc. )

Chances are you just need to create a sequence to put them on.

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

"Premiere Pro stores the preview files in a folder you can specify" But how?

Specifying a Preview folder
On page 265 of the PDF it states:
Premiere Pro stores the preview files in a folder you can specify.
QUES 1
But how do you specify the folder? I just rendered a test clip and was not offered the option of specifying a folder. And there is no other mention of preview folders in the PDF.
Preview Files for Encoding
On the same page is:
Note: Adobe Media Encoder does not automatically use Premiere Pro preview files for encoding. To make use of the Premiere Pro preview files, you must select the Use Previews option in Adobe Media Encoder for each encoding process.
It is not clear from the PDF what is the quality of these preview files.
QUES 2
If I select the Use Previews option when exporting, aren't I degrading the quality of the export by encoding from an already encoded preview?
QUES 3
For the absolute best quality, should Use Previews be turned off?

Preview File location is determined in the overall Project Settings.
Set this location before you render any Preview Files.
Project > Project Settings > Scratch Disks...
Some documentation regarding the Scratch Disk location is buried here:
Specify scratch disks to improve system performance
QUES 2
If I select the Use Previews option when exporting, aren't I degrading the quality of the export by encoding from an already encoded preview?
In most (if not all) cases... yes.
Previews are intended for real-time playback in the Timeline only.
You should not use previews for export.*
QUES 3
For the absolute best quality, should Use Previews be turned off?
Yes!
*There are a few semi-obscure exceptions to this general rule.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX). Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc. project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly. When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE. That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot. Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
please help!
thank you

Premiere Pro CC Capturing All Files as MP3

I have Premiere Pro CC My capture files are being imported as mp3 files. I have a macbook pro which I am having problems with and I have access to an IMac and the IMac with the same Premiere Pro CC software gives me zero problems. I'm not sure what else to change because simply changing the file name to mpeg or I saw online about an m2ts (I copied it right when I did it) file but that didn't work either. Any suggestions??

Please see this link for possible solutions:

.AVI files not showng when RAW Only selected at import time

Hi board,
When I am looking at my SD card from my Nikon D90 in the Import view of Aperture I have the 'Raw Only' option selected for the RAW+JPEG Pairs setting. This results in .AVI files not showing up in the browser. Meaning that when I believed I was importing all my photos in RAW and my movies, my movies were actually not even considered for importing. I realize (now) that RAW Only quite litteraly means RAW Only, but why do I have to select Both when importing to get my movies? Then I would have to weed out any eventual JPEGs that I might have taken but do not want to import.
I'm simply curious why .AVI are excluded together with .JPEGs. I did not consider this to be intuitive or clear to the user (since the setting is called RAW+JPEG Pairs, not mentioning that it could possibly exclude movies).
Thanks!

Same here, with Aperture 3.2.2, OS 10.7.2
That definitely seems to be a bug to me; if either "JPEG only" or "RAW files only" is selected, the File Types selector is ignored, and no audio or video media are available in the import panel.

Léonie
