Premiere Pro CC scrambles media in-outs when converting CS5.5 Project

Bit of a strange situation here. Created a project in CS5.5, edited some WAV files on the timeline. WAV files had non-zero starting time codes (they were coming from ProTools).
Opened the project in CC, said yes to conversion.
About 20% of the clips are showing the 'media missing' diagonal bars (5 clips are totally slashed out, and 2 clips have some portion of the beginning of them slashed out). No audio plays during the diagonal bar sections.
One footage item (Part 2.wav) starts at 22;29 and runs to 50;03
An instance of this clip on the timeline has in=33;10, out=40;14, which seems right.
This is all the same in both CS5.5 and CC, but CC shows the slashy bars while 5.5 works fine.
Tried offlining/relinking, etc. With and without "align timecode" checked. No dice.
I can replicate this messed up timeline in a variety of ways:
1) Converting the project from 5.5 to CC by opening it in CC
2) Create a blank project in CC and import the whole 5.5 project, and reconnect media when asked
3) Create a blank project in CC and import just the single sequence, and reconnect media when asked
4) Convert the project from 5.5 to CC by opening it in CC; and then import the whole 5.5 project into the new one again
HOWEVER. Two ways do work:
1) If I convert the project from 5.5 to CC by opening it in CC, and then import just the single sequence from the 5.5 project, the imported sequence works perfectly. It doesn't even bring in its own WAV files - it realizes they're already in the project and draws from them instead. (The converted sequence is still broken, even though the identical imported one is working).
2) Opening the sequence in 5.5, copying the contents of the sequence, and pasting them into a CC project, works too.
I'm stumped - anyone have ideas of experiments to run or things to try?

I think you've got two solutions right there. General wisdom is to only work on new projects in the new version. Finish old projects in the version they were started in.
This is why.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 & Media Encoder Crash when rendering

Every time I try and render something out of Premiere Pro CC 2014 it will crash before it completes the render. I have no idea why. I am on a windows 8 machine running the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2014.Any idea what is going on?

Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

Hello,
I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder running slow

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with CS4, which is running significantly slower than CS3 did on a older machine. The CS4 suite is installed on a Dell Precision M6400:
Windows Vista 64-Bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53 GHz
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
The OS is running on a 57.5 GB HD (C:) and the Adobe suite is installed on a 298 GB Solid State HD (D:), except for Adobe Media Encoder, which is installed on the C: drive.
My project has 4 15-16 minute sequences. The sequences are in DV NTSC, 29.97 fps, My scratch disks are set to a folder on the C: drive. Media Cache Files and the Media Cache Database points to a folder on the D: drive.
These are some of the problems I'm having:
- Premiere Pro CS4 generates peak files every time I open a project
- It then takes 3-5 minutes to render before I can preview a 16-minute sequence
- Adobe Media Encoder takes 5 hours to render a 16-minute sequence (as flv) that has been previously rendered
- AME takes 1 hour to render every 15 minute sequence that has never been rendered before
Are my settings affecting their performance? Is there any way to improve it? Thanks.
(Premiere Pro is the only app that is slow)

The data rate for replay is one thing, the data rate from disk to memory then from memory to CPU and back the other way are different matters and ought not to be confused. It is well-established that for a computer to edit AVCHD you need top end components, and note that I said there were three tasks to distinquish with increasing hardware requirements, namely merely replaying the video, specifying edits in the editor and then the rendering. It is commonly accepted by all the industry vendors that to do remotely commercial AVCHD rendering you need a minimum Quadcore CPU then that eats data fast, in order to not let it go to waste you need a fast motherboard bus fast memory and in order for none of those to go to waste you need the fastest disk set-up you can manage. I in fact have a 4-disk RAID0 volume using SATA (I think the disk model is SATAII but I have to await return from the repair center before I can confirm). For this RAID0 volume I have run speed test software from BlackMagic because I have one of their HDTV capture cards. It recorded that this volume which remember is doing parallelised IO is just fast enough to receive a encoded HDTV stream from the BlackMagic card but too slow to receive an uncompressed HDTV stream, indeed when I tried both I found the volume did keep up with compressed but fell behind with uncompressed. Remember that with a RAID0 volume of 4 SATAII disks a given file gets spread over the four disks and hence IO is spread over those 4 3G/s data lanes. Also remember with these disks 3G/s is just a burst speed, for AVCHD we are interested in sustained serial IO which is much less.
Before my machine broke down, I found that it took 5 hours to render 33 minutes of HDTV albeit as it went along it transcoded from AVCHD to a Microsoft HD format for Vista-only. Another interesting thing is that I found that the longer this render ran the slower it became, the estimated time started at 3 hours but the actual was five and the last one third took maybe 3 hours. Because the machine broke after that run I couldn't figure the bottleneck. For my machine bear in mind that at the repair shop we found that the Quadcore had only half the necessary electrical power plugged in, the monitor software showed however that it constantly ran around 90% of whatever capacity that reduced power supply permitted. Now then we can puzzle over why it got slower and slower and yet CPU consumption remained consistent and near to full capacity, memory was not the bottleneck because that was constant at 6.4G. But you can say that this was maybe performing like a Dualcore and was hitting some sort of wall, if you had a 1 hour render with that rate of degeneration of performance factored in what would happen to the render time, and for 3 hours you could be running indefinitely. I hope when the machine comes back the correct power supply will make it behave like a Quadcore should for this type of application. Anyway I have two theories for the degradation. First is just that PrProCS4 was getting its knickers in a twist and thereby just doing more computation per minute of video to be rendered as time went by, maybe internal resource management related to OO-type programming maybe, or related to disk IO falling behind, both these theories have problems, for the latter the CPU usage should then have dropped also.
Anyways, you need really a Quadcore system and blazing fast disk to work fully with AVCHD commercially, we found an external SATAII disk so if I were you I would just go get one and move on with your life.

For AVCHD you MUST have FAST disks.
AVCHD actually has a lower data date than DV. You need lots of CPU muscle, but disk speed is really not a factor specific to AVCHD. Anything that works for DV will work just as well for AVCHD (and HDV as well).

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Premiere Pro CC or media encoder MFX OP1a Bug

Hi I'm outtputting for broadcast TV Commercial and getting a consistant audio issue with adobe premiere pro cc MFX OP1a using IMX30 pal export master. Orginial project is HD exported AVI from After effects, audio is .wav 48k. The audio has a glitch where it almost seems to drop out by a frame. I tried this over and over again with all my projects and the same issue. It's usually around 1 second in and occurs once. My projects are 30 second in length or 15 second at a time. I have ended up going back to Adobe CS6 so I can fix this issue and send to the tv station for playout (cs6 is fine). Is there any chance someone could look into this or check to see if there is an issue here? I have tried this on all our computers here running CC and the same issue.

Bumping this as it seems to be an update issue. I have noticed it now with premiere pro cs6 update. Works fine for 6.0.3 but the update to 6.0.5 has the same issue as above. Have reported this to Adobe however don't see any changes, this is a major problem since this is the broadcast standard for uploading to station down in NZ and the media uploaded has confirmed other cases of this issue around.

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

Premiere Pro CS3 - Preset & Media File Questions

Volunteered to create a high school football highlight video using Premiere Pro CS3 on a Mac. The video will be shown in a banquet hall using a NEC projector attached to the ceiling. The hall owner doesn't have any info on the projector, so I don't know its native resolution or any other specs. The screen is standard size.
I'm being given a potpourri of media:
1) The team's game DVDs shot from the press box. MPEG Streamclip shows the VOBs have these properties: 720 × 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 9.30 Mbps, upper field first - 128 AC3 2/0, 48 kHz, 256 kbps. Right or wrong, I converted the VOBs to dv files for import into PP with these properties: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 × 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 28.77 Mbps - DV stereo, 48 kHz, 28.77 Mbps.
2) Field level video taken with a Canon HV30 (HD, wide screen). The files I've been given are: Apple Intermediate Codec, 960 × 540, 29.97 fps, 30.09 Mbps - 16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps. I could ask to have these files recaptured as SD files.
3) Many side line photos (TIFFs) taken with a Canon 30D.
After editing the project, I was planning on exporting the final video/audio as a mov file to be played from my lap top hard drive rather than from a DVD. Not sure about the export settings to do this for best quality.
But first, which PP preset should I use for this project, or should I use custom settings? If so, what should they be?
Have I converted the VOBs to the proper format?
Should I recapture the HV30 footage or convert it to another format?
I have the photos in Lightroom and can export them as TIFFs, JPEGs, PSDs or DNGs and can resize them down if necessary. Any suggestions?
Finally, I was thinking of converting the background music from mp3s to aif files at 48 kHz, 16-bit to be consistent across the different audio files. Any suggestions with the audio?
Any thoughts or suggestions on these issues would be most appreciated. If the answers to these questions hinge on the projector type, I may have to wing it....or buy my own projector. Ouch.
Sorry for the length of this post.

I recommend setting up a 720x480 4:3 project. At the very least, have
them recapture the #2 video files as widescreen SD. (I'll refrain from
making any comments about the usefulness of AIC at half-HD) The
recaptured widescreen SD files will end up letterboxed in your 4:3
timeline. Your other choice would be to set up a 720x480 16:9 project,
but that would end up pillarboxing the 4:3 footage. Your choice.
I think you did a fine job converting the VOBs.
Resize the images in Photoshop. Get them as close to 720x480 as you
can, adjusting that upward to account for any panning and zooming that
you might want to do. But don't increase the size any more than you
have to. You definitely want to avoid working with huge frame-size
images in Pr.
48k 16-bit stereo audio should work just fine.
You should find out the native resolution of the projector, and whether
or not it has an internal scaler.

Premiere Pro cc won't launch. When I try, the application window flashes, then the application exits without an error message.

I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and Premiere Pro on my brand new MacBook Pro 15" retina 2.8GHz Intel Core i7. OS X 10.9.5
Photoshop works perfectly. When I try to open Premiere, the application icon on the dock flashes and then disappears without an error message. I have tried (several times) to sign out and in again to Creative Cloud. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro. The same thing continues to happen.
Any suggestions? I'm extremely frustrated as my old version of Final Cut doesn't work on this OS, and I'm keen to try out Premiere before I commit to buying (renting) it.
Thanks, Team.

Somekind of hardware incompatibility probably. Tech support will work through install/launch failures probelms with you for no charge if you call/chat them.
Having CS5 installed or uninstalled shoudl have nothing to do with it, both apps can run live on the same system simultaneously.

Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 crashes frequently when switching between programs

I've started to frequent program crashes in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 in Mac OS 10.10.3 on my 2013 Mac Pro. The issue occurs when I switch from another program, say word or Adobe Audion back to Premiere Pro. I get the 'we're sorry' dialogue box and the application crashes. About 50% of the time when this happens - when I reopen the application it crashes again - and then on the 2nd re-open it's successful. It's really hampering my workflow to worry about a crash every time I move into AE or Audition. I've uninstalled all plugins, uninstalled and re-installed PP, cleared the media cache, and reset preferences. Still happening every day on this machine. FYI i have a 2013 iMac running the same OS which has been opening the same project files without this issue - so it seems like it's specific to this machine for some reason...

Importing Premiere Pro CC 2014 media into Avid MC8

Hi guys,
I've been having a problem using AAFs to move sequences from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Avid Media Composer 8, long story short I'm working with a post company using Adobe for everything, but the editor is at a different facility and uses Avid. I've been testing a workflow to go between the two, I know how to use both programmes and relink media, but when I import the AAF i made in Premiere into Avid although the footage names are there and the sequence shows up in the correct order when i try to reconnect the offline media no matter what I try it just won't do it.
Having googled it I found that this used to be an issue between Premiere CS6 and Avid 7, so is this still an issue that I have to find a way around? Or is there a simple fix that I haven't found?
Thanks,
Andy
Also I forgot to note that the files we use are .MXF, which are unsupported by FCP7, meaning we can't go through Automatic Duck in there. Go figure.
