Premiere Pro CS3 DSLR footage problems

Hi guys, hoping to get some help regarding adobe premiere pro CS3.  I am trying to import and compress some DSLR footage which I have captured on a Canon 5D mark 2 camera.  However if i drag more than 3 or sometimes 5 minutes of footage on to the timeline the program crashes. Also sometimes my compressed footage has red screens in the playback some lasting a 3 to 4 seconds at start of clip and some a split second.  Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.

CS3 is not capable of handling dslr footage.
You need to convert.
Might want to look at Neoscene or mpegstreamclip.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 and Panasonic P2 (Win XP)

    Hi everyone,
    since last week I had no problem editing various footage with Premiere Pro CS3.
    My problems has begun when I received a Panasonic P2 footage for editing.
    Of course is not possible to import it into CS3!
    Reading here and there, I found a news about the 3.1 update with Panasonic suport.
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS55AC98C1-D132-486c-AB6 D-A937E5EC64A4.html
    Yes. It is on the Adobe website.
    But....
    "OK, the 3.1 (P2 support) update is now available, for both Win and Mac, on the download site"....?!?!?
    I didnt' find it. Of Course there is only CS5!
    Who cares CS3 anymore?
    ME!!!
    ah,ah,ah
    If anyone has ideas or advices...please, please...let me know!
    P.S....possible no one is considering an Editing PC Machine NOT connected to Internet? Is it so strange?

    Found this in about 5 seconds with Google.

  • Error in Premiere Pro CS3.

    Whenever I had a problem and i posted it here, i always got helped by you guys, so first of all, i want to thank those who helped me out there, and wanted you to know that i really appreciate that help.
    Here is probably my last issue with Premiere Pro CS3.
    The problem:
    From time to time, i get an error. A message saying: " sorry a serious error has occurred that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down"
    It saves the current project, and when i start premiere over, it loads it from there. It usually happens when:
    I ' activate ' an effect, example: I change the opacity to 0 ( typing it with the keyboard as a percentage ) and press enter. Right when i press enter, it pops up. ( it happens with any kind of effect, just from time to time, when i ' activate ' it)
    When i minimize an audio file by dragging it to the left or the right, it happens when i release the right mouse button. These are just examples. The issue is that when i make a change, this error repeats.
    I'd love to hear what the issue may be.
    Appreciate any kind of help.

    Can you give us the specs. of one of the typical Projects, and their Assets, where you see this happening?
    Next, can you give us the specs. of your computer, in as much detail, as is possible?
    Can you also list the programs/processes, that load at boot up? A screen-cap, or report from Process Explorer will tell us a lot.
    Also, before beginning an editing session, you might want to look into this ARTICLE. If you have Win7, be sure to look down-thread for the link to Black Viper's Web site for tuning that OS.
    This ARTICLE might be useful for telling you what is happening with your system and your programs, when you get the error and crash.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CS3 -"Recording audio is not possible"?

    I am reinstalling Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on a new computer but get the message "The currently installed soundcard driver does not support DirectSound Input. Recording audio is not possible". I have noted comments on similar sound problems elsewhere but have not seen anything that seems to solve this problem. Is the problem related to the change in windows environments from Vista to Windows 7 (on Dell i7 Alienware) or do I need to buy another Sound Card or is it Premiere Pro CS3 where the problem lies? With thanks, eirrom.

    Yes, quite likely a compatibility issue. CS3 used an older compatibility model, which long has been surpassed by newer versions of DX. However, it still should be backward compatible, so any issues you may have may depend on requiriung a specific driver, installing the full legacy load of DirectX or as a minor, changing some permissions on teh system to allow loading of unsigned legacy drivers and/or compatibility modes. It's a more complex problem than just flipping a switch eitrher way. Check your device manager and then work your way through...

  • Big problems exporting from Premiere Pro CS3

    Hey all.
    Would be massively grateful if anyone here could help me out. I'm in the process of trying to export a 23 and a half minute project from Premiere Pro CS3. I've tried exporting to different formats, (Quicktime, MPEG2, etc..) but keep arriving at the same conclusion. The process will freeze midway through, and I'm greeted by the following error messages:
    "premiere pro debug event
    premiere pro has encountered an error
    [..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]"
    When I close that, another window pops up saying;
    "export error
    application failed to return a video frame.
    cancelling the operation."
    I'm not really sure where to go from here. Previously during the process of editing this project, I would occasionally get a message telling me that premiere pro was "running low on system memory". Fearing this to be the problem I was having while exporting, I attempted to export an extremely low quality version of the project, but arrived at the same conclusion. I also wondered if there was a corrupt frame or clip somewhere that was causing the issue, so I overlayed one whole transparent clip over the whole sequence and tried to export, but again, the same result.
    I now have to put all my faith in you Adobe Wizards! Please ask me any questions that might help you to arrive at what may be causing the problem, I'll answer them the best I can
    Many thanks!

    FAR too small !!!
    The program itself uses more than that for temporary working files
    Also, unless you already have a 2nd hard drive or eSata external, you are below specification
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
    Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433 use USB externals for editing
    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

  • Problemas premiere PRO CS3

    en adobe premiere PRO CS3 vamos a editar un video. ruta:
    1.- en el cuadro proyecto inicio una secuencia, y con raton derecho importar. fotos, videos... ya tenemos el material escogido en el cuadro de proyecto.
    2.- doble clic sobre una de las fotos y aparece en el panel central, donde hay 3 pestañas de ORIGEN (cortar), CONTROL DE EFECTOS (muy bueno) y MEZCLADOR DE AUDIO.
    3.- boton derecho sobre la foto..etc = INSERTAR. y directamente va a la barra de LINEA DE TIEMPO O SECUENCIA. es donde montaremos el video.
    hasta aqui bien.
    el insertar en esta barra, o lo hacemos con boton derecho INSERTAR o lo arrastramos desde el panel central hasta la pista que queremos utilizar.
    por defecto hay 3 pistas de video y 3 de audio + una original.
    es en estas pistas donde moveremos, juntaremos, aplicaremos transiciones..etc de los fotogramas, tramos de video, archivos de musica. desde esta barra saldra nuestra edicion.
    MI PROBLEMA DE AHORA, antes no. al añadir un segundo fotograma desde origen (panel central) a la barra de tiempo. hay un fallo de (software.. hardware..configuracion)???? que hace se duplique la LINEA DE TIEMPO. es horrible.
    si quiero mover fotogramas entre las pistas de video, igual!! se vuelve a duplicar la barra de LINEA DE TIEMPO. y lo hace en cascada. no vertical.
    es imposible editar, perdon editar si por hacerlo en el panel central. es imposible montar un video, hacer la composicion, ya que muevo los fotogramas y cada vez se añade otra linea de tiempo. que deriva en que aquella barra vertical de "comodin" que nos indica donde insertar el fotograma en cualquiera de las pistas de video. esa barra se corrompe y no es real. es imposible hacer un montaje.
    00:00:000 LINEA DE TIEMPO original
    00:00:000 LINEA DE TIEMPO duplicada al mover cualquier archivo.
    00:00:000 y vuelve a duplicar...
    esto deriva en que las pistas de video y audio quedan solapadas en cascada y no hay manera de trabajar.
    este problema es de ahora. hace unas semanas he formateado y lo tengo ahora. antes con el premiere PRO CS3 no lo tenia.
    he bajado una version de prueba de CREATIVE SUITE 4. el adobe premiere CS4, el mas nuevo. CON EL MISMO ERROR.
    edito videos por hobby. de eventos deportivos, familia.. tengo pendiente uno, y me esta cogiendo el toro...
    he actualizado la tarjeta grafica, 2 x NVIDIA QUADRO FX 570 actualizada con drivers del 21-10.
    quizas al tener 2 podria estar aqui el problema. desde el formateo no se ha conectado ni desconectado ningun cable. la misma pantalla. no he tocado nada de hardware...
    puede alguien indicarme como puedo solucionar esto? que puedo hacer? donde esta el fallo?
    muchas gracias

  • Problema iniciar Premiere Pro CS3

    El problema que tengo es al iniciar Premiere Pro CS3, lo que hace es cargar todo lo necesario y cuando esta por aparecer la pantalla principal del programa, se cierra el programa y no me da ni un error. Vengo trabajando hace rato con el programa y es la primera vez que me sucede esto. Espero ayuda, gracias.

    Hola a todos, creo tener la solución a la pantalla azul al iniciar Premiere Pro, el problema parece estar en los drivers de audio de Realtek, los anteriores a la versión 5.10.0.5299 no son compatibles con el nuevo Premiere, yo tengo un portatil Acer Aspire 5670 con un driver versión 5.10.0.5191 que es el original que figura actualmente en la página de Acer y tenía el famoso problema de pantalla azul, descargue de la página de Realtek (www.realtek.com.tw) la última versión de drivers que es la R1.72 en el siguiente enlace:
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Co nn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
    y el problema se soluciono, la versión de driver que tienen en su máquina la pueden ver haciendo click en: inicio/panel de control/sistema/administrador de dispositivos/Dispositivos de sonido, video y juegos/Realtek High Definition Audio/controlador, después de instalar el nuevo driver debería quedar con la versión 5.10.0.5449 o superior y el problema de la pantalla azul solucionado. Espero que tengan suerte.

  • Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

    Hi everyone,
    I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection.  All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain.  All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons.  When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment.  In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3.  I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved.  To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
    Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card.  The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
    This works great...on my office computer.
    The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio.  I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears.  If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio.  All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines.  If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio.  Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
    Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week.  Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies.  Again, video imports, audio doesn't.  No audio layer appears.
    Thanks!

    See if this helps... To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0 update

    Thought I'd share a bit of information on the 3.2.0 update that will be coming out via AUM this morning. The update will come out first via AUM, then will be available on the updates page shortly after at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/?ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_updates.
    The readme will also be hosted at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/premierepro/releasenotes.html.
    Dave Helmly has posted about the update on his blog, as well: http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2008/04/xdcam_and_premiere_32.html#more
    New in this release:
    - This update adds compatibility with the Sony XDCAM range of cameras. This includes disc-based XDCAM and XDCAM HD cameras., and the newer SxS-based XDCAM EX cameras. Content from XDCAM cameras can be imported and edited natively without transcoding or conversion. This makes possible similar workflows to Panasonic P2, including the ability to edit content directly from XDCAM EX cameras.
    - Note: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0 does not support IMX editing or XDCAM HD50 editing at this time. Export to XDCAM is also not possible.
    - Adobe Premiere Pro now has presets for HDV 24p. Note: Adobe Premiere Pro does NOT support print to tape in 24p mode.
    - Improved handling of MPEG streams (e.g.: HDV video), along with error detection. MPEG stream errors can occur during recording due to tape dropouts, record start/stop glitches, timecode breaks, etc. Bad frames caused by these MPEG stream errors are identified during import/indexing or playback. These frames will play back as full red frames to alert the user that there is a problem in the encoded video at that location. Adobe Premiere Pro will also log error messages to the Events panel, indicating where the error(s) were encountered in the stream. Users can open the Events panel, determine the location of the MPEG stream error, navigate to that location in the clip and take corrective action, such as trimming out the video glitch or covering up the red frames with duplicated good frames copied from before or after the glitch. Note: MPEG files will need to be re-indexed to take advantage of the improvements in Adobe
    Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0. For more information, please see Working with MPEG Files.
    Notable fixes:
    - Titles/Footage no longer show up as offline when reloading saved projects.
    - Rendered preview files no longer missing when reloading saved projects.
    - Certain filters and/or transitions are now applied correctly when reloading saved projects, until the timeline is forcibly refreshed.
    - When exporting via the Adobe Media Encoder, there is no longer a long delay before the progress dialog shows and rendering resums (Mac OS 10.5.x only).
    - 24p HDV clips shot on a Canon XH A1 no longer come in incorrectly as 30 fps clips.
    - Creating an offline clip in the project window then attempting to link it to media on disk no longer results in the application crashing.
    - QT PAL movies rendered out of Adobe After Effects® software are no longer incorrectly identified as requiring rendering in a Adobe Premiere Pro PAL project.
    - DV Clips of certain specific durations are no longer incorrectly identified on the timeline as requiring rendering.
    - For P2 DVCPro clips, the right-most pixel column no longer contains video garbage.
    - Fixed a memory fragmentation problem that would occur with projects with many custom bin columns.
    - Fixed a bug where exporting to a QuickTime movie (with QT 7.4) would crash the application.
    - Selecting "display only exact name matches" when relinking clip no longer crashes on Leopard.
    - Fixed an issue where 30p and 30f HDV clips would incorrectly be identified as requiring rendering in a 29.97 progressive project.

    Harm,
    I don't use HDV, so I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but in the top post, there is mention of having to re-index the MPEG files "to take advantage of the improvements in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0." While it seems this should be an automatic process, maybe wiping out the previously-created index files (I seem to remember them being in the Media Cache folder when importing MPG files from DVD rips and such) would let the project open. Or, maybe the old trick of importing an existing project into a new one? Just a couple thoughts...
    To the other poster: surely, I don't jest. At least, not when it comes to anything in the video production industry and my operation in it. Long ago, I gave up expecting perfection from any particular piece of hardware or software, and just focused on being creative. That's why I got into this. I refuse to let any piece of equipment dictate what I can or can't do--I just find another way around. Funny how we managed to make it as a species and a civilization as long as we have, and now that computers are here to make our lives easier (*snort*), we're quick to raise our ire about everything that's wrong with them. That's why I will always marvel at things built long ago prior to the advent of all the technology we take for granted today.
    Anyway, we're all entitled to our opinions, and I've taken this thread completely off-topic. My apologies, so...

  • Startup with Premiere Pro CS3 - few questions

    Hi,
    I am totally newbie to video editing (and to ADOBE CS programs).
    To introduce, here's my setup.
    New camcorder (Canon VIXIA HV30, HDV format, miniDV) - still in the owner manual for very basic things...
    Premiere Pro CS3 (soon CS4 as entitled to upgrade)
    Vista x64 Home Premium
    Core 2 Duo 1.86 Ghz, 4GB RAM
    Firewire card
    I just started to fool around with CS3 and with this camcorder, doing some tests (I use the mini DV HD tapes).
    When I capture to Premiere, here are some of the annoying things happening :
    1) instead of viewing in real time what is happening, I get a multilingual screen saying that tape is being captured... (very very useful !!...)
    2) when I playback the scene, I see edges of things kind of blinking white - just the edges - some sort of what I would call 'distortion' but maybe it's not the right term... Is this just a matter of not having a high-end video card and then, I should not worry: the editing I would do would not appear on a DVD or a published video ? Or, am I doing something wrong ? (last but not least: does it have to do with the camera ? - although I do not see this when watching on the camera side viewer.)
    3) This camera can shoot 30p, 24p, hi-def (but HDV format - not AVCHD): what should be the setup to choose :
    - on the camera ?
    - when I launch Premiere and am prompted with a window to choose format?
    Let's start with these basic questions...
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Rob,
    1.) You *may* have problems with CS3 and 64-bit OS. CS4 is optimized to work with (though it is still a 32-bit app) 64-bit OS. Things *should* be better. CS3 works beautifully with 64-bit OS for some. Others are not so lucky.
    2.) With the Capture of HDV, you will not get real-time Capture preview - nature of the beast.
    3.) Can you post a tiny amount of this footage, or a still cap to show what it looks like?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Confusion

    Hi guys,
    I have very basic problem in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. When I import video it's size is scaled down and quality is rapidly droped down. When I export it quality is very bad and my video have a black frame. How would I keep the quality and get rid of black frame?
    I really need this project to be done soon, thank you very much!
    Maksimilijan.
    Project details:
    DV - PAL
    Widescreen 48kHz
    30Fps

    The great little utility, G-SPOT will tell you what FRAPS is Exporting. What you are seeing is a disparity between that FRAPS footage, and your Project Preset. They must match 100%. You will most likely need to set up a Desktop Project and adjust the Frame Size to match your footage.
    Also, going back about a year, there were several long threads on FRAPS footage into PrPro. I would Search this forum for "FRAPS," and read. There were some good tips in those. One was quite long, and used to have some neat flight-sim screen-caps, but last time that I looked, the images were no longer up on the OP's server, so they will be missing now - the discussions were all still there.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Pro cs3 performance slow

    Hello, I tried checking various places for this answer but could not find the answer, so apologies if this can be answered somewhere else.
    I use Premiere Pro CS3 (I have the suite).  When I start to work on a project, all is well.  When I get to about the fifteen minute or twenty minute mark in terms of footage that is on the time line (perhaps just one or two video tracks and then a title or two on tracks three and four), then Premiere behaves very sluggishly.  When opening the project, it takes a fairly long time (about two minutes) to open.  Playback always stutters, no matter what.  If I select "File" or "Edit" on the top bar, I might have to wait a few seconds, or longer, for the drop-down items to appear.  If I dare to do something like add color correction to a shot, or some other effect, Premiere is even more sluggish.  I used to use Premiere 6.1 for years and never had a problem -- even did a massive production with enormous number of SFX, green screen, etc...no problem.  My system smoked.  I have a great system now (see below).  Now I do a project in CS3 and am so very careful not to get near the 30 minute mark (otherwise very slow performance) and even then I feel very limited in terms of what I can dare do, lest CS3 crashes altogether. And sometimes it has.  "Premiere Pro had encountered problems and will now close..."   Any suggestions?
    Here is what I am working with:
    Pyro PCI card
    650W Power Supply
    Supermicro X7DAE Dual-Core Xeon Motherboard
    Dual Intel Xeon 5150 (10.64 GHz Total)
    4GB DDR2-667 FBDIMM RAM (4x1GB)
    ATI FireGL V3350 256MB PCIe Video Card
    Creative Labs AudigySE Sound Card
    80GB OS/Application Hard Drive
    1000GB SATA Internal Video RAID (2x500)
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Adobe Production Suite CS3

    I guess what Harm is saying is that if your hardware checks out, your footage is "typical", and no immediate solution is evident, then a re-install is often the fastest and most effective solution. If you have your OS on one drive and all your data on another, this process becomes pretty straightforward, even more so if you've "slipped" your copy of XP with all its updates. Why spend 6 hours troubleshooting and get a possible solution when you could spend 2 hours re-installing and get an almost guaranteed solution!
    If you want to have a tinker before taking the plunge, there are a couple of things that I'd look at:
    1) Virus Checker. Download MS's "Process Explorer" (overblown Task Manager) and see if anything is going nuts when you open a larger project
    2) CS3 all patched up?
    3) Hard disk cache setting. You say things go pear-shaped at about 30 minutes (about 6 gig in DV language) maybe there's an issue with your Windows Page File that is slowing things down. If you have a "hard" setting in there, change it back to automatic and see if you have any improvement. Also, where is it? across two disks? check you have enough room on your OS disk for the pagefile to work as it should.
    4) Check the location of your Media Cache files. Think about trashing all the cache files for the project and see if that improves anything. Make sure that anything that Premiere will be accessing (the Media Cache Database, the cache files etc) is where it should be and not in some wierd place (like on a network share)
    5) On the timeline, what display options do you have turned on? First frame/last frame? or "movie strip" view?
    That's all I can think of for now... is the re-install looking more attractive??  ;-)

  • I Reinstalled Premiere Pro CS3, loaded a project I edited using CS3, and NOW I get jagged edges!

    Hey everyone. I was using Premiere Pro CS3 to edit some footage I shot with my HPX170 in 1080i 24p Advanced. The P2 footage looked great in Premiere CS3. I upgraded to Premiere CS5, imported the same exact project into CS5 using the same 1080i 24p Advanced setting, and I got jagged stair stepping edges on the objects that were in sharp focus in my footage. Okay, I thought, I'll just reinstall Premiere Pro CS3 and continue editing the footage in CS3 since it looked normal in CS3 with no jagged edges. But, to my surprise, I'M GETTING THE SAME EXACT THING NOW IN PREMIERE PRO CS3!!!! What in the heck is up with that? How can the footage look normal when I imported and editied it before in CS3 and NOW I get jagged stair stepping edges?!!!! I even tried importing a fresh clip from the footage and that clip still has the jagged stair stepping edges. This makes no sense whatsoever! Does anyone know what's going on with this? It seems like an interlace artifact problem BUT, if that's the case, why didn't it do this the first time in Premiere Pro CS3? And trust me, I would have noticed right away if it did!

    Hey Shooternz. Which exact playback settings are you asking about? I set the one of the playback settings to "Highest Quality" instead of "Automatic" and nothing changed. I unchecked 24p Pulldown in the "Interpret Footage" section and nothing changed (I don't even remember "24p Pulldown" being in the Interpret Footage section the first time I installed CS3, which is strange. Was that added in an update?). I tried different sizes like HD 1.5, HD 16:9, etc. in the Interpret Footage section and the jaggies are still there. Nothing seems to work. ??? This is weird because they weren't there the first time I edited the footage in CS3 when I installed CS3 the first time. One thing I noticed is, when I installed CS3 the second time and loaded the project, as the project was loading, I got a message that said something like "These project settings cannot be loaded. We will now switch to Desktop Mode." Would that have something to do with it you think?

  • Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

    I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
    Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
    Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
    The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
    Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
    A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
    When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
    Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
    I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
    A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
    Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
    Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
    Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
    Still same problem, nothing has changed.
    It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
    My system: (Laptop)
    Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
    Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
    4GB ram
    Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
    3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    Any ideas what might be wrong?

    dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...

    cineform codec (neo player)

    never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
    ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec
