Premiere Pro CC very buggy timeline

Hi everyone! I can't seem to find a relevant answer to this problem I've been having with Premiere Pro CC.
Basically, I have a timeline with four video angles (not trying a multiclip edit; they are just in the timeline) and a few sources of audio. As I try to scroll side to side or zoom in and out, I get weird blacking out and clip outlines that shouldn't be there. If I try to move the divider bar between the audio and video tracks, it doesn't do anything. In the attached video, I try to navigate around the timeline, and then go to the multiclip version of an almost identical timeline (which works perfectly). In it's current state, the first (non-multiclip) timeline is completely unusable. Ideas? Thanks! Premiere CC Buggy Timeline - YouTube
~Tim

The audio and video tracks aren't synced via a timecode or anything definite like that. The audio track in question starts at a different time than the video clips, which means that I would need to scrub through it to find the spot where the audio I need occurs, and grab it. Maybe I just don't know about some functionality within Premiere, but I don't think I can just toss audio in a sequence and have it line up.
And again, just avoiding a broken or buggy timeline doesn't help me in the long run. What if I was working on a long-form documentary or something where this happened, but I didn't happen to have a multicam sequence already in place? I want to have a solution, not an avoidance-based workaround for this particular project. Thanks!

Importing and exporting from cc premiere pro is very slow

importing and exporting from cc premiere pro is very slow, the system has i7 processor and memory is 64 gb and has internal raid storage. what could be the issue.

If you would like to test the tuning and setup of your Premiere installation go to our Premiere Pro BenchMark PPBM, the Instructions page has the download file. This single download can test Premiere 6, 7 or 8 with the identical benchmark. We maybe able to tell you why you are having problems.

Mixing 5.1 in a Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline

Hi,
I want to try and make a project that has 5.1 stereo surround sound.
I have a project on the Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline. All of the audio is on Track A1 one and the video is on V1. The Audio track is a Stereo track. If I have a 5.1 Surround Sound System connected to my TV and I play this video as is, will I hear the sound out of all 5 speakers and the Sub Woofer? Or, will it just come out of the Front Left and Right speakers?
To make a 5.1 Mix, can I just take that Audio, and make a new Surround Sound timeline, add the same piece of Audio to the tracks, go to the Audio mixers and assign which track I want to go to which speaker?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Premiere Pro CS 5.5
Soundbooth VS 5
Encore CS 5.1

With 2-channel (Stereo) source material, I agree with Jim.
Now, I often create faux 5.1, when presented with 2-channel source files, but there is a fair amount of work, to get it to sound good, and then, it will fall behind mixing 5 - 6 discrete 1-channel files, recorded correctly.
The synthetic Surround features of a newer receiver will yield better results.
Also, to output DD 5.1 SS (DD AC3 6-channel), you would need the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS Encoder plug-in, or, and depending on some other factors, their SurCode DTS Encoder (not a plug-in).
I also produce and create music, digitally, and will do many of those compositions in 5.0, or 5.1 at the beginning. That is easy to deal with in PrPro, and output with either/both the SurCode DD 5.1 SS Encoder, or SurCode DTS Encoder.
I'd let the receiver handle things.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro Project Very Slow To Load....Why?

Hello All
Really hope that someone can suggest a reason as to why I may be experiencing this problem. Firstly, heres the problem:
Problem: I open a Premiere Project and it opens up. The bar at the bottom reports that all media is loaded, however my thumbnails are very slow to populate and then be hover scrubbable (new verb!). Not only that the timeline thumbnails take ages to update and are not available for me to begin scrubbing through right away. Very frustrating.
Here's some facts:
System Hardware:
2013 Mac Pro; 3Ghz 8 Core Model; 32 GB RAM; Dual D700s 6GB
SSD - Mac Standard 512GB as boot drive and for applications
Edit Drive - Thunderbolt connected LaCie 2Big 4TB Drive x 2 (these are daisy chained via thunderbolt too and striped together in a RAID for maximum throughput) Speeds are generally in excess of 500Mbps read and write
System Software and Information:
OS X Yosemite 10.10
Premiere Pro Project stored on Edit Drive with all media for that project
Cache Files stored on same drive as Project (Edit Drive)
Project Size = 48.7MB
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this problem is occurring? Previously had problems with the MacPro/GPU Mavericks 10.9.3 issue that everyone had been reporting but seems to have gone away now and after some other troubleshooting like resetting preferences and PRAM; running Safe Boot Disk Permission Repair (as recommended by Larry Jordan).
Really appreciate any help and this is a really annoying issue and is affecting our workflow hugely.
Cheers

Hm, if the issue occurs with two different host systems, then i would rather think that there are maybe issues with the network. Are you aware of any changes/updates done by IT? Security patches, changes of software on router, ....
What you maybe can try is to isolate one of the host and connect one of the PXI using a cross cable directly to this host. Does the issue occur there again(still)?
You can format/reinstall one of the PXIs to do a cross check with one system with original state, the other with newly installed state.

Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac timeline encoder application options

What options (Procoder-like) do I have for Mac Premiere Pro CS3 timeline encoding? Appreciate any application suggestions.

I understand that you get more options on the Win Platform. If your
looking for a specific option that you intend to use alot, then you will
certainly want to factor that in when you make your OS choice.
But just having lots of options in itself is not, in itself, a good
reason to base your choice on. The Mac platforms tend to be more
quicktime based, but your encoding options are varied allowing you to
create delivery formats for a range of end users, from tiny Ipod size
video to lossless formats that most any other platform will handle with
no difficulty. Of course you have the standard DVD export routines, and
you also have flash video export routines.
For import concerns, I have found a program called Visual Hub to be
quite useful in conversions. I've found it to be able to quickly convert
most everything I throw it at, specifically those xvid and divx file
that tend to be problematic for NLE's on both platforms.

Premiere Pro CC v8.1 - Timeline Lag after update

So my system is pretty fast, and it's becoming a trend that with every CC update, the program seems to work slower and slower, to the point where now I'm getting lag for simple tasks such as dragging the edge of a clip for trimming, or positioning a clip in the program monitor (whether dragging manually or altering the number values. The lag is very large, sometimes waiting up to 15 seconds before the command can complete. I'm working on a feature film shot in 5K on the RED Epic. I've cleaned my cache, I have rendering set to Memory, not Performance (I've tried it both ways and it doesn't make a difference). Shared RAM memory is 63.9 for Premiere Pro among other shared applications. Sequence settings match the footage. I just don't know what else to do at this point.
Here are my specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
Premiere Pro CC 2014 v8.1
Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.6Ghz (8 CPUs)
64GB Hyper Ram 1600MHz
Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5
Premiere runs off the Boot Drive, footage runs from external drives connected via USB 3.0.

Can you send me some logs / reports from the Spin dumps? (info below for those that may have questions)
If you can "Sample Process" in the Activity Monitor when things get slow that would be great. Feel free to e-mail for more details, if needed.
We are very interested in resolving this issue. We are actively looking for users that will help us get more information and repro steps.

Premiere Pro being very slow while previewing

So recently my friend sent me a png sequence with a alpha channel. And what I want to do with it is put it in Adobe Premiere with my YouTube videos I will edit it with.
But the problem was when I imported it as a png sequence in premiere and previewed the project, it stopped and started and acted very "laggy." I don't know why it is laggy because a png sequence is not a huge file.
IF anyone can help me on how to preview it without lag that would be amazing And is there such thing as a h.264 with an alpha channel?
P.S: I did try converting the sequence into a QuickTime movie with a alpha channel. All it did was make it even more slow when previewing in premiere.

Premiere Pro CC very slow on brand new iMac

Hi
We have bought a new iMac, set up the Creative Cloud and downloaded Premiere Pro.
We've started a few new projects on this machine and whenever we play them back, the video always freezes on a frame whilst the audio carries on playing. When pausing the playback for the visual to catch up, Premiere takes a while to respond to the pause action.
We've tried changing the video renderer to Open CL, CUDA and Software only and still no luck.
The computer specs are:
Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096MB
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Any suggestions are more than welcome and I will respond with the results.
If you require anymore information then please ask and I will be happy to supply you with the details.
Thank you for your time and help in advance.

Thanks, Jason, that's what I was wondering about. Generally, people post to forums when they have problems.
Yep. That's usually what happens. My review will be centered around my usual "benchmark" of editing 2 AVCHD inputs, one PiP'd into the other, synced with an external audio source, and then exported to an h.264 MP4. CC on my current Mac Pro (modified dual 3.46Ghz Xeon, 48G, nVidia GTX570) takes that task about 1/2t, if t = length of video. Which is pretty damned good. I'm hoping the dual GPUs will help scale that export task down a bit more. I don't expect it to hit 1/4t, but.. hey, maybe I'll be surprised?
I make about 60% of my living from Pr, and the rest from Ae and other apps (mostly Adobe).
Given the lack of CUDA, at the moment, I don't expect the new Mac Pro to be a stellar performer with Ae specifically. I assume that Adobe is working on OpenCL'ing Ae as much as they possibly can. But from what I understand, it ain't there yet.
(I'd need a TB monitor and PCI extender, too).
I can understand the need for the PCI extender, but why the TB monitor? I'd in no way even remotely consider one of those, just given how ridiculously priced they are. There's no need for one. Does your display have a DP input? You're all set. No? It has HDMI instead? Still all set. It's dual-linked DVI that becomes problematic.

Multicam editing in Premiere Pro CC very slow after latest update.

So I installed the latest update for Premiere Pro CC a couple of days ago and now every edit I make in my Multicam sequence takes about 10 seconds to take effect. No matter how small an edit I make. While it´s taking affect the computer just freezes.
Is it possible to downgrade or does someone have a sollution?

@Devinclk: You specify that you're on 7.2. If that's accurate, then please update to 7.2.2. Among the many bugs fixed were several involving multicam.
@Mediatek: first off, as a CC subscriber you most certainly do have access to the CS6 version of PPro. On this download page, use the drop-down under "In This Version" midway down the left side of the page to select CS6, then click "Download." As to the problems you're having with CC, if you start a new thread and provide as much detail as possible, there's a good chance someone around here will be able to help troubleshoot it. Remember, while you're choosing to emphasize that you're "another struggling CC user," tens of thousands of customers are using the program without such problems. So there's a particular issue--or confluence of issues--causing particular problems in your case. The first step to resolving the problems is for you to share specific & thorough enough information for someone to help.

Premiere Pro CS6 very bad YouTube quality.

Hello,
Before asking me to look further on google because there may be my answer, i say that i've searched/posted/asked everywhere i could.
I use fraps to record some in-game footages, the file bitrates are huge 500-900M, i then render them in premiere pro as i need to add an intro/ending and then i upload them (or i'm hardly trying to) on youtube.
The thing is I've used every setting I could ever find, contacted youtube users who managed to do it right, but after I upload the video on youtube, the quality is absolutely horrible.
Right after i render i check the video, the quality is perfect, after that I upload it to youtube and after processing the video, it looks like it has 1M bitrate, laggy.
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?
Thanks!
RAW clip bitrate: 500-900M
Render settings from Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: H264
Resolution: 1280x720
Frames per second: 30
Field Order: Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
TV Standard: NTSC
Profile: High
Level: 5.1
Render at Maximum depth: Checked
Bitrate settings:
Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
Maximum bitrate: 20M
Minimum bitrate: 20M
(Tried with smaller bitrates too, like 8/10/15, the output file wasnt so clear but youtube would still kill it)

OK. Here is what I have done.
I took took your crisp video of game play and dropped it on the New Item button to create a sequence. I checked the sequence and saw that the video was 1280X720 using 30 frames per second. Not 29.97, but 30. That could be relevant.
Then I took this screen shot of the video playing in Windows Media Player and in the Program Monitor of Premiere Pro. I see some degradation even at 30Mb/s which suprised me to be honest with you. I read through the YouTube help and they recommed 30Mb/s for 720p so I exported at 30Mb/s.
The easiest place to spot the degradation is in the space above the letter E (before the CK) in the upper left of the frame. Some of the texture is missing.Not much. It is ever so much softer. But I don't believe that it will prove to be relevant.
So, now it is time to upload to YouTube and see what happens.
Darn, I have no way to play the YouTube video at exactly 1280X720. I just have full screen and the larger box. Is there a way to do that? Other than setting my monitor for 720p or playing it on an old HDTV?
Oh well, here it is. Reasonably clean going in. How about coming out? Not so much. I am not happy with it. I am going to try again using CBR just for the heck of it. Crud. That didn't help. See for yourself.
I am stumped. Somebody with the capability to see it at the exact size speak up please. How is it done. (I use Chrome.)
Edit: I found a YouTube resizer that sets the medium box bigger - to 1280X720. I knew it had to be possible. But I am certainly not happy with the changes YouTube makes to a 30Mb/s file.
I am off to go try Vimeo.
Edit:
I am not happy with this either.
There is something about this video that makes it difficult for them to encode it. I have no idea what it might be. Perhaps the more technical among us can provide answers. It is not horrible, and it is better than 480p, but it isn't great.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Mac - Timeline Previews are being Killed... Any way to stop this ?

Hi...
On Video track one, I have the track height very high so that I can see the footage poster frames. I love editing this way.
Lots of times, I will edit simultaneously between multiple sequences. My problem is that after a while PPRO just kills the poster frames,
and when I enter the sequence that I was just editing in, I have to wait for pPRO to rebuild them... AGAIN.
This takes time.
Tried saving the project to have PPRO NOT kill the previews... But that does NOT help..
Any ideas of how I can get PPRO to maintain those Poster Frames...
Thanks

I never use that function at all.
That is probably because you dont work with skimming... I do..
I would go mad and grow old if I had to double-click footage and watch it in the source panel, the way the Premiere Crew intended for it, so I use an alternate workflow...
Skimming
Example;
1 - I'll Import several rushes residing in several folders.
2 - I create one sequence per rush, sometimes one sequence per Scene
3 - Then Automate the whole rush to the sequence
4 - I'll create my main sequence and call that story board.
5 - on the Top of the screen, I'll open the RUsh-Sequences
6 - In the center I have the program monitor along with a scope
7 - I have programmed a short cut to the "Move Playhead to Cursor" function
When I depress that shortcut, and move the mouse the playhead will follow the mouse wherever it goes, and since I use RAID0 and Prores the movie updates immediately.
Just like skimming which is the most (and ONLY) powerful feature FinalCutX brought about. Nevertheless a feature that experienced editors have been using for years...
8 - So now, instead of using the ultimate slow method of double clicking a clip in the project panel and opening it in the source monitor, I'll just move the mouse over any clip while pressing my shortkey
and that is the fastest way of skimming thru' (sorting) your footage. I'll set in/out points on the fly.
9 - I have BOTH the Rush-sequence and storyboard sequence open in TWO separate timelines and I'll just drag whichever clip I have trimmed from the rush down to the storyboard sequence.
This workflow is being seriously crippled by the previews being deleted all the time...
I was never much of a text reader and I find it 100% more intuitive to find my clips by looking at image-representations of them instead of reading the clip names...
I am including a small demo-video displaying the workflow. It was taking off my 30" Apple display and down-sized.
The movie (compressed) is stuttering but that stutter does not appear on the local mac in PPRO
You will see me skimming thru the rush-sequence and with the mouse-wheel scrolling to different locations on the timeline. This way of sorting and finding clips is extremely fast, IMO ;-)
I was not aiming to make a tutorial, just to display my workflow so that you can see what I am rambling about ;-)

Premiere Pro file size and timeline duration limits?

Hello. Are there any file size limits for importing JPEG or MPEG files and exporting WMV? I am looking at some extremely long footage. Thanks!
Message was edited by: Kevin Monahan

I understand clients ask for things, and normally I would suggest that you merely export a second time to show them the H.264 results. Higher quality and smaller file.
I don't know how long it would take to export a 24 hour sequence though. That might make it a waste of time. Unless it can be done overnight, I suppose.
You file size should be interesting. It will depend on how low you can take the bitrate and be happy. Or, it might be a case of using a higher bit rate and just dealing with a large hard drive.
Please post again with your results. This is a new one for me, and I would love to hear about it.
