Premiere Pro CS3 won't import audio on an avi file

I just recently borrowed a friend's HD camera to film some scenes for a video. I had to import them onto my computer using a converter because my computer is a windows vista ( >:( ) and the files on the camera are MTS files (they aren't compatible with CS3 anyway).
The first time I converted these files to avi files Premiere read them perfectly fine and also allowed me to use the audio that was with them. I soon decided though that the audio and video quality that I had converted them into was rather crappy so I converted the files again to much high quality (video bitrate 10000 kbps and audio bitrate 448 kbps).
By this time, I decided the video quality was what I wanted so I deleted the files off my friend's camera and returned the camera to him. (Note: the files played perfectly fine in windows media player and several other video editing software that I possess)
I opened Premiere after taking the camera back and discovered (to my disappointment and frustration) that whenever I tried to import the new files, Premiere would only import the video and not the audio. I would place the file on the video track and the audio wouldn't import onto the audio track.
Could this be a problem with the project preferences I chose? Or is it something else? Is there any hope of getting it to work?
One option I've considered doing is converting all the audio on the files to a different format or converting the video files to another format but my harddrive is running out of space as it is and I could lose quality by doing that.

(Not to mention the time it would take to reconvert the files. I've already spent several hours converting it from the camera. At the moment I also do not possess a solid avi converting program that I could trust.)

It places a video clip with audio in the Video 1 track, the audio is not automatically placed into Audio track 1 but it goes to Audio 2 or 3 or 4. I checked settings both Project and Preferences but have not clue what may cause this problem. Any help would be greately appreciated.

Premiere Pro CS3 Will Not Import Any Files

I connected my Motorola DVR to my PC (Windows XP SP2) with HD content passing through a Firewire 1394 connection. I opened a new Premiere Pro CS3 (Master Collection) file and accidentally selected capture. The computer immediately went to blue screen. After rebooting I cannot import any files into new or old Premiere Pro projects. It appears I compromised the software when I accidentally hit the capture button. Encore works fine so I am assuming the problem is only with Premiere Pro. Is there any way of reinstalling only Premiere Pro from the CS3 Master Collection disc set without having to reinstall the entire suite of programs?

You may be better off installing the whole suite again.

Premiere Pro CS3 won't see my HD Camera

I have Premiere pro cs3 on my windows
XP pro computer. i have a Sony HVR-A1U HD CAMERA.
when i plug in my camera through firefire it does not see my camera.
any ideas??

it appears that my computer itself is se
eing the camera. it shows up in the control
panel as hardware connected. I checked my
camera settings. they seem right. would pp not see
it for any reason?
One odd thing. it used to see the camera when i plug it in. it no longer does that.

Premiere Pro CC won't import ANY audio file, be it an mp3 or part of an mp4 video (or other formats)

Any audio or video file I drop in to premiere will almost immediately pop up with the window
Audio Conforming Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
When I check the error/event log (little red X in the bottom corner) that window says:
"11/21/14 09:47:28 A disk error occurred while attempting to access the following files:
\\ipsse01\home$\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files\filename.mp3 44100.cfa"
(The actual file is on my desktop)
This happens with everything, even the stock audio files Windows comes with in the "Sample Music" folder, I tried those too to no avail.
I'm at a complete loss. I'm new to premiere pro but these are generic file formats so I don't think the issue is with the file. I haven't tried to reinstall because I'd have to go to our one network administrator/IT person (who also is the accountant for the company) so she can enter the admin user name/password in the pop up box, and she's often so busy. I'm trying to avoid bugging her if I don't need to (which unfortunately I tend to still have to do a lot)
For reference I'm running Win7 Professional 64-bit, 8GB RAM, and an i7-4610M CPU @ 3.00 GHz.

Hi Neila,

Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
Sorry my info didn't help.
Two things to try.
Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
Let us know what happens.
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CS6 won't load audio volume.

When I open my project I get this:
Then, none of the volume adjustments work on the timeline.
Everything you need to know:
Mac OSX Snow Leopard
Premiere Pro CS6 (Production Premium)
Project imported from FCP7 XML, although I have removed all effects etc from that import. All filters and adjustements have been made in premiere.
I've copied all the clips into a new timeline, restarted premiere, rebooted, don't know what else to do.
Please help?

For the record I'm having this same problem. Scary, since I made a bunch of audio edits and lost that work.
Definitely smells like a bug. I'm using Xto7 to convert a sequence from FCP X to an XML file CS6 can read; I'm having to run both FCP X and Premiere simultaneously, since Xto7 didn't really do a good job. The problem occured when I switched back and forth between the two, and tried to relink an offline file in my Premiere project (where I am reassembling the sequence). Suddenly the sound would not play. I quit and restarted, and got the error above. Ugh.

Premiere Pro CC won't import video files

Two days ago I used the free trial of Adobe Premiere Pro CC to make a video. Everything was working fine, and I saved the project so I could work on it again later. Today I tried to open Premiere Pro and it told me that my trial had expired and that I needed to buy it. I bought the monthly plan for Premiere Pro CC and opened up my previous project to continue editing. However, when I opened it, all of the files on the dashboard were red and it says "Media Offline". I tried to locate the media files but then a notification pops up that says "Error Message: Format unsupported or files damaged". The video files I'm trying to use are .mov, so it should be working like it did two days ago. It lets me import pictures, but no video. I could really use some help with this, it's a project for work. Thanks so much

Hi bschmus12,
Try this, rename the folder where your media is and then try to relink. Does that work for you?
Thanks,
Kevin

Premiere Pro CC won't import XDCAM EX files from the Sony PMW200 or PMW150

I work for a company that recently upgraded to Premiere Pro CC from premiere Pro 6 after purchasing a Sony FS-7. This has worked great for viewing the files out of the FS-7, however I can no longer import the XDCAM EX files from our PMW200 camera that we had previously. CC just tells me they are unsupported or damaged.
These files open fine on CS6 on the same computer, but not CC.
Unfortunately we are in a transitional phase and we have projects that span across both the FS-7 and PMW200 and need to be able to edit with both the footage. Am I missing a driver or plug in for CC to help the software acknowledge this software?
Thanks

Hi Stephen,
Try singing out of Creative Cloud, restarting Premiere Pro, then sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out
Thanks,
Kevin

Premiere Pro CC won't play audio from video file

I've been trying to edit videos recorded with Bandicam in Premiere Pro CC. The video file itself is fine, when I play it in Windows Media Player it all checks out, but once I get it into a sequence in Premiere Pro CC despite it showing the audio track, and turning the volume to max, there's no sound! How do I get it to pick up the audio that I KNOW is there?

Bandicam read #10 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/954394 for possible hellp

Premiere Pro CS3 Capture Problem with Audio

Setup:
Premiere Pro 3.2.0
Video Capture Device: Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro capture card
Audio Capture Device: HT Omega Claro Plus XP
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
I am able to capture video with Premiere with no issues. However, the audio does not get captured even though it is set to capture both audio and video. I am configured for ASIO capture and playback. Strange thing is that I can load Adobe Soundbooth and it will capture the audio just fine (from the same input stream as I'm trying to do with Premiere). What gives? I'm almost out of options.
From what I can see, when I hit F5 and go into capture mode, Premiere seems to insist that it must capture audio from the blackmagic design audio ports, and even though I have the audio explicitly setup for the Claro in audio hardware, if I go into the capture settings, it still is set on "Blackmagic Capture" as the capture format, and when I go to settings, I can pick the audio channels to capture, however.... I don't want to capture with the blackmagic for audio. The capture format MUST be "Blackmagic Capture" or else I can't capture the video. It still doesn't make sense though, since I have the audio hardware set for input from the claro ASIO. It shouldn't force Blackmagic audio.
Any ideas? Please help

Some additional information:
Sound card is a Claro Plus XT not XP. Used to typing XP heh
Also, the video capture works with the included blackmagic capture software, as well as freeware solutions like VirtualDub and a Japanese freeware program I use. I'm able to capture video and audio without issue on those. Just don't know why Premiere doesn't do it...

Premiere Pro CS5 won't import mov file?

Mac Mini OSX 10.6.8 2.4GHz Duo Core Intel 8GB RAM: Quicktime 10.0(128)
I have serveral MOV files that a Camera Crew shot raw footage then recaptured to MOV for me but now I found out that I can't import these files into Premiere CS5, I get a codec miss or unavailable error. I can't even play this MOV file in QT, it says I need a codec. I don't have Final Cut Pro or iLife. What is the codec I need and where can I get the codec to Import my MOV files into Premiere Pro? Or is there a way for me to recapture these files?
Here's a screenshot of the MOV file info. Thanks for any help, I'm new to Premiere

You may have been given video encoded with the Apple ProRes codec. Apple provides free decoders you can install that may be able to help you out.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Apple_ProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_for_Windows
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Apple_ProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_for_Mac
If these don't work, you video may be encoded with an Avid codec. Avid has their full range of codecs available for free. What's nice is that you can both read and record with them.

Premiere Pro CS5 won't import still images correctly

I've about had it with this pile of ****.
Brand new install of Premiere Pro CS5. When attempting to import still images, random images will show up as other images. i.e. in Windows, I'll have the following:
one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
three.jpg (shows up at three.jpg)
Once I import them into PPro, I get this:
one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
three.jpg (shows up at one.jpg) <-----
In other words, three.jpg is named three.jpg in PPro, but when I bring it into a sequence, or view it, it displays the image from one.jpg
I've tried clearing the media cache, renaming the images, moving them to different directories/drives. Any suggestions? Or should I just get my money back ffs. Thanks for any help.

Premiere Pro CS6 won't recognize alpha channel in .tiff file from photoshop

Hey Everyone,
I'm new to Premiere Pro, but I have used Final Cut Pro 6-7. Anyway, I created a 3D text design in Photoshop to use on top of another photo in a video in Premiere. In Photoshop, the alpha channel appears fine. In Premiere Pro it is not recognized. Instead, a white background appears where the alpha channel should be. When I layered the 3D text on top of a photo (in Premiere Pro), the white still appears around the 3D text design. After I imported the file, I did click on the .tiff file and clicked on modify---->interpret footage----->alpha channel (where I deselected ignore alpha channel). Premiere Pro still does not recognize the alpha channel. Should I convert the Photoshop file to another format or is there something I'm not doing? I'm spending more time trying to figure this out than I am on putting this short video/photo slide show together. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks Ann!!! Seriously, you just saved me hours of aggravation. I didn't know I had to select that in Photoshop. I was under the impression that Adobe product files were seamless.

Why does Premiere Pro CS3 no longer import .psd files?

Over in the German forum, BjoernG has already asked this question as of this past June. He's gotten no answer, so let's try it here. Like Bjoern I use PPro CS3. Mine is on WinXP with all updates. I import PSD files as keying masks. I've never had a problem until this evening (27 Aug 2014). I tried to import a mask I've used many times before. And it has always worked before. Tonight PPro refused to recognize .psd as a supported file type, so it didn't show in the import folder file list. When I told PPro to show "all files *.*", it showed the file. When I selected it, PPro even showed the "import file" window, then displayed the "File Import Failure" window with Error Message: File format not supported. See the picture.
This is a file I've imported into many previous projects with no problem whatever. In fact, I started with a project file from last year which showed the mask file in the project assets but offline! Even though the file had not been moved.
If PPro CS3 is as obsolete as Adobe claims it is, then who's been messing with it? And how can we get it "unmessed"?

I couldn't imagine what any of those steps would do for my problem – but I didn't have a better idea so I tried them:
> If Premiere is acting weird, restart computer.
It's a laptop, so it was off all night. I turned it on this morning.
> Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere.
If I hold down shift-alt before clicking the desktop icon, all it does is select all icons from top left to the Premiere icon. It does not start Premiere.
If I press and hold shift-alt immediately after clicking the icon, Premiere displays every tiny module it loads rather than summarizing. I held shift-alt until Premiere was fully up and idle.
> Then empty all media cache.
I did that. As I write, Premiere is busy reconstituting all of that.
Then finally, the acid test: Try to import a .psd file. Bzz-z-zt! Still claims it's an unknown file type.
> jpegs do not have transparency. You can save as png instead.
I'm using it as a track matte key, so white is equivalent to transparent. I do have to select "matte luma" instead of "matte alpha" in the effect. I'll save your advice in case I ever do need transparency.
Follow-up: I checked my other licensed copy. It accepts .psds just fine. I checked Help About for both; they're identical: 3.2.0 (374). So the problem must be in an internal setting, an external influence, or a defective module. And remember, it's not just me, Björn in Germany reported the identical problem in June.
