Premiere Pro CC - Importing MPEG sequence 720x576

Hello,
When importing a video from an old DV camera, I have many sequences in 720x576 / 25ips ... When I open these video in CC I get a black border on the right side of the video, about 15 px wide. I am not able to understand where it comes from as long as when I read the sequence in either VLC or other players, I don't have this black border on the right side. It's old video format (.VOB) from an old camera writing on small DVD.
I wasn't having this issue with previous version (CS6). So maybe you could help me to understand what's the issue in CC ?
Thank you.

Im not even understanding how it should work but i can make a fix.
Yes Premiere is not supporting.... supported file formats correctly. Maybe it should scan more frames or more of them together summing for correct full size and remove assumption formulas?

Premiere supports, imports and shows video & shows some info about it in metadata and based on that it should show video correctly or analyze somehow how video programming works..
Importing file we see in metadata it recognizes wrong file size but correct aspect ratio. Based from that it should divide wideness with that aspect ration number and then all would be fine.. Thats all the problem.. Programmers were working on theese filetypes right before vacation..
It seems like reason for not beeing on supported format list couse correct codexes are not found for the bug that Premiere shows files wrongly.
Thats right- with file all is ok. Formats here mentioned are from videocameras and playable not only on them but on computer players. With programm Premiere is problem- it doesnt recognize theese formats correctly.
But why only here couse and as it turns out it works in Premiere Essentials..
How not beeing on supported formats meaning its not a bug?
I can open my and here OP file in Premiere so it supports it BUT badly, buggy- cutting off right side or adding black. If VLC can play it then you can ask them for codex.
And here we know its at least 2 files witch can be opened and not having codex.. or at least variant B sollution.
===FIXES===
VOB
720/702=1.02564102564
So maybe for VOB this is what was missing.
Here even some other programm programmers find that they have bug.

===My sandbox===
720 x 576 in vlc correct 16:9
in premiere metadata shows info 540x576 (1,4587)
So missing calculation is
720/540= 1.33333333333
or 133%
i assume programmers made some kind of rounding formula
rounded 1.3333 would be 1.33 or if rounded to 1 decimal then 1.3
540*1.33333333333=719.999999998
540*1.3333=719.982
540*1.3=702 (coincedence of VOB file)
interesting that rounding up
540*1.4=756
maybe with looking up closest ratios like 1,4587
finds what its now showing..

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
How can I change this? Why does this happen? I really need to know as soon as possible. I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr. But I can learn VERY FAST!)
Thanks for your help.

Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
Good luck,

Can Premiere Pro CS4 import H.264 quicktimes?

Can Premiere Pro CS4 import H.264 quicktimes?

If the QT's are pure H.264, and you have that installed, then there should not be an issue.
Some camera mfgrs., and others, like to tweak H.264, so there is no all encompassing answer.
If you are having issues with a QT file, that seems to be H.264, you might want to look closely at the full specs. in MediaInfo, just to be sure that all settings match what they should.
Where did these files come from? That might tell the tale.

In Premiere Pro 2014 imported audio skips and is out of sync - version 7.2.2 was ok

I have been importing AVCHD Content in to Premiere Pro 7.2.2 with no issues. Now that I have upgraded to Premiere Pro 2014, importing that same AVCHD footage causes the audio to skip and finish before the video causing it to be out of sync. I compared preferences between the 2 versions and all settings seem to be the same. This is something clearly different between these two versions of Premiere Pro. Anyone else have this issue?

I might be incorrect in this, but think that there is a Ps Script, that will do what you want.
I would ask in the Photoshop Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop

If my memory is not totally hosed, one of those should yield the Script (if it exists, as I claim to remember) for that task.

When importing MPEG files into Premiere Pro CS3 the audio sequence is missing.

We have two computers running Premiere Pro CS3. Our computer most recently installed with PPCS3 will only import an audio sequence with the MPEG video file when I extract the file directly from the DVD. When I take the video folder from the DVD and drag to my Desktop, importing to PP from the desktop, it will only import the video sequence; audio does not appear. What would cause this happen and how can I fix this? It's too time consuming to continuously use my DVD Extractor.

1st, that old program has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous

Mov files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - XDCAM (MPEG) resp MPEG 1/2 (xdvc)

Problem description:
I got a bunch of MOV files on a HFS+ formated disk for editing on Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3). When I import to Premiere, Premiere says "Codec missing or unavailable". Paragon HFS+ is used to handle the HFS+ formated disk. I copied the data to a NTFS formated disk before using.
The reseach I did give the following indications:
I did try to play in Quicktime and Quicktime told that I would need additional software to play the .mov file. But I could execute show movie inspector and it shows "XDCAM EX 1080i 50 (35Mb/s VBR)".
VLC plays (!) and tells that it is a "Mpeg 1/2 Video (xdvc)"
MediaInfo says "MPEG Video (XDCAM)"
Sound is (L)PCM according to the mov inspector programs.
The MPEG2 format seems to be supported by Premiere (also in HD), forum entries tell me I should be at version 5.0.2 as there Adobe supports the MOV container. So now my question: What am I missing?
I have no idea on the Camera used to film, but it could be a JVC, as it is told that the JVC writes mov files.

Hi Colin,
The explanation is quite simple and it appeared to me sometime during the weekend when executing completly different tasks.
The video source is different! The small clips (and your test clip) are what came from the camera and was transcoded to mov, my test clip was the edit out of FCP! It was by chance the only mov-file left, all others have been deleted after transforming to mp4, not to keep the data in double and fill up the disks with unnessecary data. So I tested this clip, which was the mistake!
Testing one of the original input files confirmed your result!
The difference between the files is having indeed 2 mono audio streams (input mov) vs one stereo stream (edit mov), all 3 obviously PCM.

I encountered a similar problem. I had quicktime files that would play in the quicktime player from the desktop, but wouldn't import the files "the file has no audio or video streams". I had just reinstalled quicktime, and Premier with no change. Finally realized that we had Barracuda protection that was at fault. It was preventing communication to the quicktime codec and thus Premier could not interpret the footage. Another symptom, I would also launch After Effects and it would tell me that quicktime wasn't installed.
I solved this by uninstalling Barracuda. We reported the fault to Barracuda, and have not seen any change in the software.

Premiere Pro CS5 Import Tiff Artefakte

Hallo liebe Adober,
ich habe folgendes Problem:
Ich habe mit Maya Mental Ray unkomprimierte Tiffs rausgerendert und wollte diese Einzelbilder als Sequenz in Premiere Pro importieren und dann schneiden.
Zunächst wollte Premiere diese Tiffs nicht öffnen, weshalb ich meine Einzelbilder mit dem Programm XnView in tifs konvertierte. (1280x720/Bittiefe 24/nicht komprimiert). Diese sehen immer noch gut aus.
Nun kann ich die Bilder in Premiere öffnen, allerdings haben sie direkt nach dem Import gewaltige Artefakte...also große Schwierigkeiten mit Farbverläufen und dadurch sehen die Bilder einfach furchtbar aus.
Leider muss ich zugeben, dass ich mit mich Konvertierung und Codecs nicht sonderlich gut auskenne. Bislang habe ich mit Cinema 4D gearbeitet und dort auch unkomprimierte Tiffs rausgerendert, was in Premiere immer tadellos aussah - und weshalb ich mich nicht genügend mit den Einstellungen auseinandergesetzt habe.
Ich habe auch andere Formate wie JPEG, PNG oder BMP ausprobiert, jedoch sehen diese noch deutlich schlimmer aus. Des Weiteren habe ich versucht, die tifs mit einer Bittiefe von 8 zu konvertieren, was ebenfalls schlechter aussah.
Ich dachte an fehlende Codecs, aber eigentlich sind diese doch erst für den Export relevant, oder?
Ich bin dankbar für jeden Hinweis!

Danke Mylenium für deine schnelle Antwort!
Farbraum ist sRGB, Alphakanal ist mit drin, linear und zusätzliche Kanäle wurden nicht mit gerendert.
Wahrscheinlich habe ich es ungünstig rausgerendert... ich habe mir viel zu wenig Gedanken über den Wechsel von Cinema zu Maya gemacht, weil einem in Cinema schon so viel passend zurecht gelegt wird. Ursprünglich wollte ich VRay benutzen, doch dass hat aus einigen Gründen nicht geklappt und deshalb habe ich versucht, mich in wenigen Tagen in Mental Ray einzuarbeiten. Die Renderings sahen gut aus, also war ich zufrieden...
Na ja, wie dem auch sei - leider habe ich keine Möglichkeit, die Dateien so schnell noch mal zu rendern und muss jetzt zu sehen, dass ich das Beste aus den vorhandenen raushole.
Gerade habe ich FCheck ausprobiert, was ich bis eben noch gar nicht kannte. Ich habe die Einzelbilder geöffnet und als Tiff (und JPEG) abgespeichert. Allerdings wurden mir gar keine Optionen angeboten, kannst du mir sagen, wo ich diese finde? Google hilft mir da gerade nicht besonders.
Das Endergebnis ist jedenfalls immer noch gleich. Die Source Sequence in Premiere sieht gut aus, aber die Program Sequence enthält wieder die Artefakte.

Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

What are the attributes of your PVR video...
specifically, is it variable frame rate?

Change default Premiere Pro CS6 importing of files so it's NOT alphabetical

With Premiere Pro CS5, I was able to import my Photoshop files with multiple layers (shapes, text, images, etc) and they would appear in order of Photoshop organization. For example:
Layers in Photoshop CS5:
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Importing them into Premiere Pro CS5:
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Notice the order stays the same.
Now that I have purchased CS6, everytime I try to import the layers into Premiere, they are imported alphabetically.
Layers in Photoshop CS6: (still same)
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Importing them into Premiere Pro CS6: (now alphabetical)
Address
Background
Logo
Main Text
How do I change the default setting so it imports in the same order as Photoshop? I would like this version to be the new default as I use this everyday for work.
Any help would be appreciated.
CS6 newbie, CS5 intermediate

In both cases, the PSD imported in the exact order I had it in Photoshop. I even went back into Photoshop, changed the order, reimported and it came in with the new order. So unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Which means I have no means to find a cause or test a fix.

When I import .VOB files from any DVD into Premiere Pro CC, the last .VOB always cut picture from both sides. When I click to see properties of the file (in Bin panel) it shows me that image size is 540 x 576 instead of 720 x 576. The video isn't shrunken but cut off. I got two black bars on both sides of the screen (in Premiere Pro CC). That wasn't happened with CS6 and now it happens always and only with last .VOB file. All other files from same VIDEO_TS folder are imported correctly. When I convert that last .VOB to .avi or any other format everything is OK. Any suggestions?

Yes it works, but I have no time to convert file every time I need something archived that way. I used that method years ago, and if I'm not wrong we are progressing a little Most of today options you have in Premiere 5 (maybe even in earlier versions; I'm using it from version 5.1) and it worked. So if you think like that, why we need version 7.2.1 ? Actually this is 14.2.1 version if you count from version 1 back in 1991.
It's not about to manage, it's about to have what you pay for, it's about to speed up the process.
Thank you anyway for your comment

Premiere Pro CS3 Importing Issues

Hi all,
I'm new to Premiere, and I've been having issues with a project that I am trying to start. I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on Windows Vista. I want to import a file that was originally a .mkv file. Because Premiere does not use .mkv files, I simply changed the file extension to .avi. The file is about 1.42 GB. But whenever I try to import the file as a .avi, my program freezes and I get a (Not Responding) error on the dialog box at the top of the program. When this happens I am always forced to close the program. Am I experiencing this simply because the files I am attempting to import are too big? Or is it something else?
Also, if it is indeed because the files are too big, how can I get around this problem? I have tried using software such as VirtualDub and SolveigMM Video Splitter to cut the AVI files into smaller parts, but they do not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!
(By the way, I attached a JPEG file of a snapshot of what happens when I try to import into Premiere.)

This is because you cannot simply rename a file's extension to "look like" a different format. An .mkv is as similar to an .avi as a goat is to an iguana. First, you may want to try something like this.
You can also try opening your MKV in VirtualDub (without renaming it ".avi"), which may work. I have read that recent releases of VirtualDub can handle (more or less) MKV files, but I have no experience with this myself. If this works, you can save it as an AVI from VirtualDub.
As for the AVI format, it is really just a "container." What matters more is the codec with which the AVI is compressed. A good choice is often DV (and here is a good free DV codec if you need one). However, DV only works with videos of certain resolution and framerate, so you may want to convert to an uncompressed AVI or use a codec like Lagarith.
Assuming you are able to find a decent MKV -> AVI converter, could you please post more details on your video, such as its resolution. It would also be helpful to know what format you plan to output your edited video as.

Premiere Pro CC Importing Problem

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CC. When I start a new project in Premiere, it doesn't give me any sizing options. I simply select HDV (I've also tried using DV and I still have the issue I will comment in a second) and leave the other options in default.
Once I have my project open. I have a .mpg file that is 704x576 in size that I want to import. When I import it, the video size changes to a 540x576, cropping away the right hand side of the video.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Thank you.
Enrique

Hi, I am replying here, and not on another thread no this topic for it is marked as resolved.
This issue happened to me as well. However I can not reproduce it accept on material that is effected by this. It is true that problem appears during the import, not afterwords. I have tried to import it trough media browser and directly from explorer - it makes no difference.
So, I ripped DVD, as I usually do, and imported it with cropped right side. Media info shows its 720x480, however when it get's to Premiere it is converted to 540x480 and there is no way to get that right side pixels back.
I ran some test, and found out that rest of the rips weather they are PAL or NTSC can import just fine, and Mediainfo shows that files are identical - there are some difference in bitrate but it shouldnt cause problem imo. I have tried importing it to other PC with premiere and the results are the same.
For getting different results with same tipe of files I can't understand what is causing this, however there is way around it. If you ran in trought converter like MainConcept Reference, file can import normaly. It's not permanent solution, but if you're in a hurry that could be a way.
I have noticed some time ago issues with aspect ration with Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers installed. Is there a chance you have them instaled ?
