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 CS3 for Mac quits when exporting

I'm using Premiere CS3 for Mac and I imported several mpeg footage I took with my Sony Cybershot camera. The videos are in 640x480, but when I opened a new project I choose 720x480 DV format. Then the videos were stretched to the DV size.
When I try to export my timeline, the render dialog shows 'compiling...' and nothing happens with the progress bar and Premiere is suddenly closed.
I took one of the videos and rendered it as Quicktime movie 720x480 in AFX, and then I created another timeline with this new video and the export worked fine.
I think the problem is the MPEG format that my CyberShot uses. Am I right?

Yes.

How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ?

Hi there,
I have an old video camera that is still working. That video camera uses a Hi 8 tape. The tape is bigger that the current DV tape. The size of the tape is something like a tape cassette.
How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ? Being an old video camera, the output doesn't have any firewire or USB connector. In fact the only output is has is the Yellow, Red & while connector (is this referred to as composite).
So, how do I input this Yellow, Red & White cable into the PC (or rather into Adobe Pro CS3) ?
Any established hardware/convertor to recommend ?
Thanks

Ryan,
For "composite out," only you will need an A-D "bridge" to Capture from that camera. Grass Valley/Canopus offers two really good ones, the ADVC-110 and the ADVC-300. There are others and also PCI A-D capture cards, but the Canopus units get very good reviews.
One other workflow would be to hook your older camera to a digital video camera with passthrough (not all have this and it is being discontinued fairly rapidly in consumer cameras) and then doing the Capture through that digital video camera via FireWire. You will not have Device Control, but can easily start/stop via the mouse and one hand on the switches, or on a remote.
Good luck,
Hunt

Playback Lag in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

I'm editing a project in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac, and the playback is really laggy. Its fine if you're viewing one long clip, but it gets really laggy when it switches between clips. The sound will play, but the playback screen will be frozen on the last frame from the previous clip. I use the latest thin model of the iMac. Can anybody help me?

>Premiere Pro CS6 with the 6.0.0 update
Is there a specific reason you have not applied the bug fix updates?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install
updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Also, only having one hard drive means your computer is having to "struggle" with file operations
An EXAMPLE concerning 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 on partitions) 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
External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... eSata is better -
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1117813
Do not try to use USB2 for video editing, it is too slow

Explanations with pics will be better.
Thanks.

Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.

Premiere Pro CS3 on Mac versus Final Cut Pro

Any of you working on a mac with Premiere Pro CS3? If so, why did you choose Premiere over Final Cut Pro?
I'm currently using a Matrox RTX100 on a custom made PC that has all the correct pieces of hardware to make it work. It's running PPro 1.5 and I'm looking to upgrade to a new computer and wanted to know if PPro CS3 runs better or like butter on a Mac versus a PC. I will be using a Raid 0 1TB drive from G-Raid. For Mac the other option is Final Cut Studio 2.
I've been a Premiere user since 1999-2000 and have had my share of grief with it but have grown to like it very much especially with the integration with AE.
I want to know what your thoughts are if you were in the same position.
Thanks,
Frank

I'm using PP CS3 on the Mac, having recently switched from a Windows machine. Since I already owned the Windows version of CS3 Adobe allowed me to "crossgrade" to Mac for the cost of shipping. I took a look at FCP but saw no compelling reason to make the switch in editing programs. If you do a lot of editing in HD it might be a different story as PP doesn't include an intermediate codec (FCP does), has issues with HDV video/audio sync and lacks native support for XDCAM. Hopefully these particular weaknesses in PP will be addressed soon.
PP CS3 on the Mac has worked very well for me so far. The integration with AE is excellent. One other thing to note is that PP is available as a stand only app. This is no longer true of FCP, where you are forced to buy the entire Studio 2.

USB Mic not working in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

So I've been editing in Premiere Pro CS6 on a mac for 6 months now. I have to do a temp VO for a project and I thought I'd try the Narration feature in the mixer. For some reason my USB mic doesn't show up in the Audio Hardware so I can't pick it. The same mic shows up in the Mac Audio Settings and even shows up in Audition. I've been having to use Audition but was curious to see if anyone out there has gotten a USB mic to work in Premiere Pro on a Mac. Would be a really cool feature if it worked.

Some USB mics work fine, but many do not. It can depend on the exact mic, or might require a different ASIO driver (maybe something like ASIO4All?), or different ASIO setting, to work.
Good luck,

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 ;-)

Adobe Premiere Pro CC for mac - Lens Distortion

I do not have lens distortion option in video effects. Apparently this is not included in mac version of Premiere Pro CC. Where can I get this plugin? Or is there another way of doing this? Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

Take your Time Machine and rewind your system to before you installed CC. Problem solved. Specifically, rewind your HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and user/Library/Application Support/Adobe folders and see if that fixes it. It fixed a wonky AE CS6 I had earlier this week (completely unrelated to CC)
Keep with CS6 until the first updates to CC roll out.
(And don't ever upgrade a critical app mid-project. I know you know that's a huge professional no-no. You had a system that worked just fine.)

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for Mac problem

I have recently bought Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 as an upgrade (for Mac) and after I enter the serial number during installation it asks me for a serial number of a qualifying product, listing three: Premiere Elements 4, 7 or 8. I only have Premiere Elements 9. I would be happy to buy the aforementioned products except several sources suggest that PE8 was never produced for Mac. Any ideas of what I can do?

Return it. CS5 has not been sold for more than 1 year. Instead get CS6.

Premiere Pro CC for Mac introduced a viral memory leak

I have been editing an important new project in Premiere Pro CS6 with a deadline of tomorrow to take a trailer down to the L.A. Film Festival. An option to download the new CC versions of the Adobe products seemed interesting, especially as I could continue to work with the CS6 version. However, having downloaded several of the CC versions (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, AE, amongst others) it now seems that there is a serious memory leak. I watch my memory meter (32Gb installed, Intel i7 machine with applications running off an SSD) drop from 87% to 0% over the course of about 7 minutes. And according to the memory meter, all used memory is going to Premiere Pro.
Bigger problem. There must be some shared library or application files because now the same thing happens in Premiere Pro CS6.
This is a real issue. A once in a lifetime opportunity has arisen and Premiere Pro has really screwed it up for me. The application is unusable.
When will there be some accountability for this issue at Adobe and, more importantly, an urgent fix? Perhaps it was a mistake, after all, to switch from FCPX... Is there AVID in my foreseeable future?

Trying to find the latest version of Premiere Pro CC for Mac.

I have 7.2.2, but can't open a project from another Mac system because it was saved in a later version

Just open the Creative Cloud app.
There you should find the latest version CC2014.

Premiere Pro CS3 Encoding Error

I'm supporting an end user who has been using Premiere Pro CS3 for years to develop and encode videos on their computer.
Recently, they have been experiencing an issue with one particular project they're been attempting to encode. The project is nothing out of the ordinary, various video and audio files, a little bit of text. They're trying to encode the project down to an MPEG2 format for burning to a DVD.
The problem occurs about 20%-30% through the second pass of rendering. Premiere Pro will give an application error, stating that memory referenced cannot be "written". The program then shuts down and the attached Event Viewer log is written. I've done research, but haven't found any items relating to these errors.
The only major change that I know of on his computer was that Adobe After Effects was installed recently. I don't know the version level of After Effects installed.
Premiere is up-to-date. The user demonstrated the ability to encode other projects, both larger and smaller, without issue. All of the files been used as part of the problem project have been used in the past without issue. I'm having the user deconstruct their project to try to identify any layers or files that may be causing the problem. Rather than go through that tedious tasks, I'm hoping someone has an idea of what's going on.

If the project have captured video, this problem can be caused by defective capture. Frames of captured video can have compression problems even not having any apparent defect when they are showed. Since some compressions are inter frames, the compression can have defects during the capture. the funny is, the appearance of those frames can look like normal (since human eye cant see and scan those thousands/millions of pixels one-by-one and detect which one is defective).When you are about to encoding it, or "trancode" it, the change from a defective compressions to a mpg2 DVD for example make the program crash.
If thats the case, u can check in which frame Prem crashes, get the clip to AE and re-export it to a completely diferent format and compression, them replace the Premiere clip by the new one.
