Premiere pro cannot see some media files

I did a Time Machine restore to two weeks before. When I opened a project I was working on in PP, the media files were not recognized. My camera produced MTS files (Sony fs100). Till this point, after two years of using it, have had no issues. I uninstalled PP (CC) and reinstalled it. It can read my media files, but it still won't read some .mpeg or .avi files that it previously could. Is there something else that should have been installed? Is there codecs that might be missing? Thanks, in advanced, for your response.

What error message are you getting?
Rename the folder that contain the mpeg and avi.
See if that will help.

Cannot see phone media files on BB Link

I am using a new PC running Windows 8.1, but media files on my Z10 phone are not visible in BB Link. No problem synchronizing Calendar and Contacts though. The software tries to establish synching relationships but is unsuccesful and eventually sends a message about some connection problem. Unplugging and replugging the device does not work.

Link is suitable only for BB10 OS, try connecting your phone wireless and check.

Using the Premiere pro CC 2014 exported media file size is much larger than estimate, also is so much bigger than Premiere CS 6?

I used the preset H,264 Youtube 1080HD to export a video. The estimate size is 7308 MB {after I reduce the nitrate). The final size is 11.18 GB.
Why is so much different? Befor I Use the Premiere CS6 to export a simial size use the same format Is around 6GB.

First of all, the estimated file size just an estimate based chiefly on the combination of the bitrate and duration. The actual size can vary significantly, depending in large part on the amount of change from frame to frame throughout the video. For example, if you encode two clips of identical duration to exactly the same settings, the only difference being the nature of the content--say on is a talking head interview shot with the camera locked down on a tripod while the other is skateboarding footage that was shot handheld--the size of two resulting outputs files will be widely divergent.
As to the comparison between CS6 and CC2014, note that the settings for some presets have been changed. For instance, the h.264 YouTube 1080 presets went from 8Mbps to 16.

Why does Adobe Premiere Pro modify original footage/asset files (e.g. mov)? (CS6)

Background:
A colleague had given me a large 33Gb .mov for use in a project, I put this file on a backup drive.
I made an identical copy of this 33Gb .mov file and placed it in a folder that I'd use to work on a Premiere Pro Project.
I ran Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and dragged in the 33Gb .mov file into the Sequence (imported it)
Premiere Pro CS6 started conforming the file.
After it had finished, I noticed that it's Modified Date was just now i.e different to the Modified Date on the original copy of the file on the backup drive (see step 1)
I ran a BeyondCompare check between the .mov file on the backup drive (see step 1) and the one that the Premiere Pro project was using (step 2, 3) and Beyond Compare reported they were different.
I had initially thought it was unrelated file corruption of some kind, but I have checked this several times and got the same outcome, so it's definitely Premiere Pro deliberately modifying the file.
So I am puzzled: these are supposed to be the same file.
Why would there be a need for Adobe Premiere Pro to modify the footage?
What does it do to the file?
Would it not be better to create a separate file if necessary?
I can accept this if that's how it works and it's good to know that it was Premiere Pro deliberately modifying the files and not corruption (so my hardware ought to be healthy). But it makes more sense to me if Premiere Pro made separate modified copies for its own use. Modifying the file as it does hinders my process for checking the integrity of backups; if the original asset footage files were the same as earlier copies then it would be easy to know that the backups are OK.
Thoughts?

Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Media Encoder CC 2014 Crashing constantly

Running out of options and ideas...
Symptom: Every time I work on any project in Premiere Pro CC 2014 or try to render out in Premiere Pro CC 2014 or Media Encoder CC 2014, the software crashes after 2-3 minutes of use/rendering when the GPU is enabled in Premiere/Media Encoder, or after 5-10 minutes of use/rendering in software only mode. The crash is a software crash, Windows continues to run fine.
I have tried all the standard list of steps that adobe reps post on threads like these - clearing media cache, software only on render, new project, etc. https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-windows.html

I have wiped adobe off the machine and reinstalled - same problem. I have tried projects that crash the machine on other machines and it works fine.
The machine is new, clean install and runs everything else great - 3ds max, high res games, scientific computing - max memory use, etc.
Spec:
5K iMac running bootcamp and Windows 8.1
Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz
32 GB ram
1TB SSD
AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5
I have used this bootcamp/imac configuration for 5+ years on 3-4 machines and everything has always just worked great. Guess it was my time for a problem, but I'm open to new ideas to try...
Finally - I hope someone from Adobe reads this. I have spent 2 nights on the phone with support. The first night I got an over confident answer that it's a gpu driver issue, just go with software only (no luck - same crashes and different drivers aren't solving the problem). Tonight I was hung up on "by accident" as the agent looked up my video card after waiting 15 minutes to talk to someone, only to be hung up on a second time while on hold after calling back and waiting 20 minutes (because I assume the Adobe call center closed). No message to say so, just hung up on. An overall very disappointing experience.
Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas on things to try,
Cheers!

I am having a similar problem.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.
I've exported as recently as a week ago without issue.
Running OSX 9.5 on an X99 board
3.75 GHz 8-core
64GB 2400 MHz RAM
EVGA Titan Black 6GB
Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.
Thanks Adobe, for checking this out.

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

Premiere Pro creating impossibly huge project files

I am confused as to why Premiere Pro CS6 is creating projects files that are so enormous they either crash my computer while saving them, or when I try to open them again after closing them, they simply will not open because they are too big. I have NEVER seen Premiere Pro CS5 create a project file that was, for example, 1.75GB in size. Now, I can't even edit a two minute video without eventually losing everything because the file size becomes unmanageable.
I thought it might be an issue with Magic Bullet Looks 2.0, as I noticed the file would grow enormously every time I added an effect to a clip. Not sure. Anyone else having this problem, with or without Looks or other otherwise 100% compatible plug-ins?

I too am having the exact same problem, but the only effect I've been using is cross fade (both the transition effect and jut dragging the opacity down. I think it might be the drag on effect now that I'm hearing everyone else's issues. At first I had thought it might be a nesting issue (the main thing I've been using PrPro CS6 for is cutting together animatics with ref footage, so a lot of individual images laid over eachother) but that did really make sense. The odd thing I've noticed, thoug, is that it seems to be increasing by a factor of two once it really starts getting gigantic (which I can tell because I version constantly). Isn't that a bit... I don't know, odd? I mean if this is infact the case. The size where they really start to seem unwieldly is at about 250mb. I'm trying to open that file now, remove a whole bunch of the crossfades, and see if it has an effect on the file size.
I have been nearly patient enough yet to wait for the 500m files to even re open.
Tell me, for you guys, does the load project bar always stutter at the same place, like, right below the "Pr" in "Load Project"?

Cannot see the output file in my first project

Hi,
I follow the instructions of Exercise in Chapter 4 of CAP-0501 to make the project. I wonder why I cannot see the output file in 'C:\CAPExercises\0501\exercises\Active_Project\Output'.
There are two things I would like you know.
1. I do not have the file 'prjFileXferInput.xml', but find and copy a xml file. Is this a problem? Does CAPS have any special requirement on schema for the input file?
2. Is '\' and '/' a problem for Java CAPS? I notice the book using 'C:/CAPExercises/0501/exercises/Active_Project/Output�, while it is 'C:\CAPExercises\0501\exercises\Active_Project\Output' on windows. I am working on a standalone Windows 2000 computer.
By the way, can anyone give me a confirmation that '/' and '\' is not a problem for Java CAPS, as the server or application take care of it? Is it true?
Thanks,

I am answering my own question. The project works.

I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules"

I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules". I've read through a few threads and made the recommended changes but still no luck, it crashes everytime. I have a Mac Pro 2010 with a Nivdia Quadro FX 4800.

Hello and thanks for the response. Yes, I've read that post and many others, I still get the same message when trying to open. I've realized there's no way to get tech support for any of the products I'm using. Is there another place hat can help me with this problem? I really wanted to try PP but looks like I won't be able to.
Thanks

Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files

my Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files. The blue download bar appears and when download is complete, the wheel spins and spins and nothing happens.
Some files are password protected. until recently, the password window would open. Now it does not. The wheel just spins and spins and the file does not open.
AN email attachment (pdf) which I opened in Dropbox on my iPhone opens fine. Files saved in Dropbox from my desktop won't open. This is true for pdf and MSWord files.
I'm running iOS 7.1.2 (11D257)

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Should that fail, you might delete and reinstall the app.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro cannot see 5.1 Dolby Digital input via Optical link (mods, please he

X-Fi Fatalty Pro cannot see 5. Dolby Digital input via Optical link. I am pumping my Xbox360 through the Digital I/O dongle and every thing works OK using Dolby Stereo, outputing to my 5. analog speakers. However, it does NOT work when choosing Dolby Digital 5.. My SPDIF tab just says unknown input.
Please help, this is very frustrating...

Ok, for those who also wanted to know the outcome, I though I'd post.
I was told that the dongle cannot decode 5. to analog, but the Dri've Upgrade and the Console Upgrade could (at $80/$80 vs. $5).
Great.
So what I want to know is this:? what chipset or connection is Creative putting in the Dri've Upgrade and Console Upgrade? It seems to me that the card should be doing the decoding, not the type of optical port. If it's getting the signal, then what is the problem? Is is that the flexijack cannot output/input 5. at all, only stereo?
Anyway, the Digital I/O dongle is going back, the thing is useless for my purposes. While I can hear 360 games fine, DVD's on it default to 5. if they have that type of audio, and there is no way to switch it to stereo; it gives me only silence then.
And mods, nothing in my frustration is with you; you seem to be very helpful and responsi've. I just wish the rest of the company would get on the ball.

Can I use Adobe Premiere Pro to convert Camcorder MOD files to MPEG?

Can I use Adobe Premiere Pro to convert Camcorder MOD files to MPEG files?

If you are on CC2014 probably not. It does not get interpreted correctly.
Premiere and previous versions does not support MOD files.
Best is to convert to avi
converio_095.htm
The first link John posted contains confusing and incorrect information.

Will Premiere Pro CC support Cinema DNG files?

Will Premiere Pro CC support Cinema DNG files?

That would be nice, but my guess is that if support was built in, Adobe would have made mention of it as a new feature.
Given that Blackmagic is releasing a $1000 DC camera that records CinemaDNG to SD cards, it sure would be nice if PP cold work with them natively. People, please keep filing that feature request.
