Premiere Pro CC not playing fair with .mov files

I have a CC account and use Premiere Pro on my PC with no issues so far except that the RAM and Graphics card suck. So I decided to run on my laptop running windows 8 rather than 7.
AE runs with no issues (so far), but when I use Premiere Pro it does not like .mov files for some reason.
I imported files from my iPad and it gives me this message:
Error Message
"The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams"
To work around it for now, I converted the file into mp4 and imported to edit from there. Now issue is that we need to place a lower third. I have an AE project as the .mov file imports into that no problem, but when I then export as quicktime file for the alpha channel it still will not import into Premiere Pro, same error message.
I can export as .avi but then the file screams 'MASSIVE' as it is over 1.5gb cpmpared to the 32mb as a .mov file.
Bottom line, cannot get any .mov to import into PP on my laptop even though it works fine on my PC. Also, .mov files play fine in AE??
Please HELP
Martin

Hi MartinSalteruk,
Thanks for contacting Adobe Forums,
As I understood you are only getting issues with .mov files, Please check if you Quicktime player installed on the system.
if not click here to download the Quicktime player

Premiere Pro CC 2014 hangs - Problems with MTS files?

Hello all,
So I've read the other MTS file posts on here about problems importing. I had this issue initially but moved the folder and it worked.
I got into my project and every now and then I would get this lagging, where Premiere Pro would still play, but the cursor would be frozen, and anything I click on wouldn't highlight... can't scroll etc. This seems to happen when the fan in my mac kicks up.
It has gotten to the point now where I can't edit the project at all because this happens about 3 minutes in each time. Works fine for a few, then fan kicks up and everything starts lagging and freezing. What's weird is I found a part on the screen, that if I click it, the screen updates to what I just did. SO WEIRD.
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER PROJECT. And this project isn't even that big. So I highly doubt it's a computer performance issue as I've worked on RED RAW and Prores 4444 files on my macbook pro (which I'm on now) with no issues.
Long story short I've tried about everything, and feel the only solution is to transcode to prores and start all over with the edit (which would be brutal) but I've already completed so much work! Does anybody have experience with this or a work around?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for responding.
I was given a drive with the RAW files on them. I originally just used finder and dragged and dropped into Premiere, since that's what I've always done... but since the issue I'll start using what you mentioned.
Did NOT update the project. Started it on CC 2014.
I tried importing the sequence into a different project and the same issue is occurring. But below I've given more info as to my problems. I'm really concerned I'm going to have to start it all over again. I recently transcoded all files to Prores 422 (hq) in case that's what I need to do. But I'm really hoping there's something I can do to resolve this. Though I have a feeling it's the .MTS files causing issues.
What version of Premiere Pro?
Premiere Pro v8.1.0
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
OS X 10.9.5
What kind(s) of source footage?
AVCHD... I went about "show package contents" until revealing the .MTS files.
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Editing. Noticed in the beginning, but as the sequence as gotten longer the problem became more persistent, until now it's ALL THE TIME... and the computer fan kicks up right away like it's struggling with playback.
What other software are you running?
Shut down all other programs so Premiere is just running. Still happens. All other projects have been working fine but this is the first with .MTS.
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
No.
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
None.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
Yes.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Everything. Screen lags and freezes with anything. It still plays back without interruption, but my cursor won't move, windows won't update, I can't scroll anywhere unless clicking the top part of Premiere (then it magically updates what I did a moment ago).
Help!

Premiere Pro CS6 not playing audio on imported MP4 files.

I am editing a series of MP4 clips shot with a Canon Vixia, and for some reason, Premiere Pro CS6 will not play the audio on a few of the imported files. All of the clips were videotaped with the same camera. I know that there is audio on the clips in question, because it works fine when they are opened in Windows Media Player. I have deleted and reimported the faulty files, to no avail. I noticed in the online discussions that several others have had this problem; but I haven't been ablet o find an online fix thus far. I would greatly appreciate advice on this!

I have a Canon Vixia HFS100, which saves AVCHD files to an SD card... exactly what model is your camera?

Premiere Pro cc not playing in timeline

I just got started on Premiere pro CC and this is what`s not making sence to me
I have a iMac and my movies are on an USB harddrive
I import some small clip and the movie is about 3 minutes now.
1) when the headset is pluged in - I can hear sound.. when I disconnect the headset I sometimes can both see and hear the movie. Sometimes I only can see the movie and not hear it.
2) sometimes the movie would not start to play when I hit the spacebar on the keyboard.
Can somebody help me out here? Is it a bug. This did not happend when I used Premiere Pro cs6.

Check your audio hardware mapping. Premiere's playback will break down if it's told to target an audio device or channel that doesn't exist (e.g. because something was unplugged and a mapped headphone socket has reverted to a default input socket)

Premiere pro is not playing audio

I'm trying to work on Premiere Pro CS6 and having great difficulty with the Video and Audio. I admit that I have numerous film formats e.g. Canon Mark 11 and Panasonic HDC-HS300 footage as well as Audio from H4n Handy Recorder and WAV audio files. Things have been fine until playback and the video ceases for around 30 seconds and audio.
Initially there was an ERROR message which said something like ERROR: Adobe is Dropping .... So I changed the Preferences, (no luck), deleted a lot of old files to make space (no luck) downloaded MacPaw to do a registry clean (zilch)
Have gone back in to do some work and Adobe won't open now.

Premiere Pro CC freezes when processing some .mov files

I'm new to Premiere.
I just got some .mov files to be edited. I'm not sure how they were created.
When I try to do anything with them Premiere freezes and I have to force it closed and then manually kill Adobe QT32 Sever.exe in order to restart Premiere.
If I can get a clip to play, the video freezes but the audio plays.
The Media Pending screen shows in the thumbnails when mousing over the clips in the bin.
Just importing all the clips into a project will freeze Premiere.
Quicktime Player plays the files ok.
Loading the files into VideoPad results in a 4 second clip. That is, every file ends up being just the first 4 seconds when VideoPad imports it.
I do not have this problem with other .mov files from a Nikon D3100.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
The MOV files are client provided. He emailed me today that he recorded them on a consumer camera that created AVCHD files which he converted to MOV through a free utility he found on line. Sigh.
Since Quicktime Player plays the individual files he didn't know there was a problem until they were given to me to assemble into a finshed piece. As the clip numbers are not sequential, I'm guessing there was a committee who looked at all the clips and chose the ones they want in the final product and only those were given to me.
He said he could copy the original files onto a DVD (hopefully he has the entire contents of the chip so I will get all the files that were created as this knowledge base article indicates).
I tried Handbrake and what I get is a split second of live video which then freezes as the audio plays out. :-( I, too, suspect the fault is in the multiple video data types.
Thanks again for your input.

Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

Hi Folks,
I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

Sorry for your troubles.
Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable. Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen. Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so. And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

Hi Folks.
I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
Apple Intermediate codec. I had no choice over this.
Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
very easily in the Finder. Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
in the progress bar at the bottom. Never had a problem with any previous
Mac OS.
Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
and plays it no problem. No "conversion" necessary. No cumbersome and
space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
of Quicktime can play it.
What's up, Apple? AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
transcode into. Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
And your old version does? And why might THAT be?
Really, this is so elementary. This is not rocket science. Just like JPG images
not displaying properly in Mac Mail now. It begs the question "why" ...?
I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
have to be "fixed"...
Did I miss something? Or did you?

Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas. And an answer to your earlier post.
Basically two options to work with here:
Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
Convert the files to Quicktime
I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB". (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras). I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's. AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files. You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
The only extra trick to be aware of here is this. The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor. Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files. Not mandatory, but helpful if you are a Premiere user. Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage. Use VLC player to open and view them.
From that point on, you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on. Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files. Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264. Anyway, don't bother converting. It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
ps. I just found this free utility on the internet. It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
Good luck! (and happy Valentine's Day!)

Audio not playing in mpg movie files

Out of the blue my pwr book stopped playing the audio in any .mpg movie files .mov files play fine using qt 7.1.2
Apple Care had no answers other than a reinstall of the whole OS
Thanks
Chris

Believe it or not, I've been having this same problem since I bought my Imac G5 a few years ago. It just happened to my MacBook Pro, as well. Along with the fact that mpg audio is gone, so is flash audio. It seems to happen every so often, usually after one of my computers hang while loading a preview for a flash movie. The problem actually seems to correct itself after a few restarts, or loading of some programs.
In the process of writing this post, I regained support for mpg audio, and flash audio - and in quicktime player for that matter. When I started writing this, it didn't work. I dunno, quicktime is weird that way. The longest time I was without flash or mpg audio was for a period of 3 weeks. After which, it somehow was magically there again. I wish that wouldn't happen, as it usually happens at the most inconvenient times. The whole way flash is not supported through newer versions is rather irritating as well isn't it? Use SAFlash player for mac for those if you can: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Premiere Pro 2.0: Losing audio in .mov files

I'm using Premiere Pro 2.0 on a PC (I know, it's time to upgrade)
A client sent me some short .mov files supposedly shot with a Canon camcorder. They play fine in QuickTime outside of Premiere. But when I import them into Premiere Pro 2.0 and begin to trim the clips, the audio plays for about 5 seconds, then it goes silent for the remainder of the video.
Does anyone know why this is happening and, more importantly, how I can get the audio to play correctly in Premiere Pro 2.0?
For what it's worth, once they are in Premiere, the properties say that they are "12000 Hz - 16 bit - Mono"
Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Adobe X Pro does not play well with Firefox 12.0

Using Firefox 12.0 and up to date version of Acrobat X Pro -- no Adobe toolbar but listed in plugins. Work around using print Adobe Pdf consistently hangs or crashes.

Because of the way Moxilla implements add-ons you have to add the Acrobat button to the toolbar in Firefox yourself.

Why is Premiere Pro CS6 not recognizing my Photohop .PSD files?

"Photoshop" is not even listed as a supported file in the File Type section.

This is completely bizarre.

If you look in Windows Explorer (if you are on a PC - I don't know where to look on a Mac), when you select a Photoshop file does it have the right Icon, or does it point to a different application?

MacBook pro will not play a commercial video dvd?

My 17" MacBook Pro will not play a commercial movie DVD. The computer appears to referance the disc 5 times then ejects the disc. I have never played any video on this computer before and I have had the computer for 2 year. I can not get the settings correct or something. If anyone has any suggestions on this problem please let me know.

Can you describe in a handful of bullet points:
what content you are exporting (slideshows, home movies)
how you did it in Aperture
how exactly you burned it (program, settings, etc..)
We need a bit more info... before you start reaching for your wallet
But I must say, I nearly agree with ClayG on the replacement. DVD superdrives are cheap these days.
Depending on how often you use it to watch or burn, I woudln't even bother having it fixed.
If you use it once a week and are not on the road when you do, just get an external bus powered one - it will likely have a dual USB cable, so you'd need two USB sockets - I got one and it worked well
