Premiere Pro CS4 ERROR import VOB file

Today my Premiere Pro CS4 had Error about importing VOB file but yesterday it's can import smoothly.
please help me fix the problem.
*ERROR Picture*
thanks
ps. i just done updated CS4 to the latest this morning but the ERROR still show.

Harm,
I also wonder if the OP's version might not have reverted to the "trial" version, with the update. Because the VOB is an MPEG, that would not be supported.
If this has happened, you will need to Deactivate, uninstall, run Adobe Clean Script CS4 several times, re-booting between each, and then re-installing and Activating. Then immediately do the full updating. To test whether you now have the "trail" version, just Import an MPEG file, and see if you get a File Format/CODEC error message.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS for some background on VOB's, this ARTICLE might be useful.

  • Premiere pro will not import .mov files

    Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
    Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
    One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Error 1624 on install

    I have adobe creative suite 4 - Production Premium. I have been able to install photoshop and some of the other programs just fine. Whenever I try to install Premiere Pro, I get the same error:
    Error
    Error 1624
    Error 1624. Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
    I am running windows 7 64 bit.
    I have tried the clean script and fresh install with no luck. The error seems to only be happening when I attempt to install Premiere Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Jeff - Thanks for the quick reply. Just so I understand, you recommend I run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and perform a new install. That's what I gathered from the links you shared.
    It's my understanding that uninstalling production premium and running the adobe cleanscript accomplishes the same thing. If that is the case I have already attempted that on multiple occasions. If that's not the case can you elaborate and what I should do?

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 importing .MOV files help!

    Hi, I have been using this software for quite a while now but this problem has only just started occuring.
    When I import video files from either my iPhone 4s or Ipad3 into PPro the monitor preview screen goes green, but when I insert the video file onto the timeline I can hear the audio but the video file itself is just showing green.
    When I open the exact same file with WMP, VLC player, FLV player quicktime and so on it is perfect but this only happens when I import into PPro CS5.5.
    I also have a handheld HD video camera which records in .MOV format and when I import those files into PPro it works just fine, so it is only the iPhone and iPad files that it does not like!
    I'm assuming this is a codec issue?
    Please can someone help as this is driving me insane!
    Many thanks
    Dan
    P.S, this has only just started happening, I have been importing iPad and iPhone video files into PPro for ages with no problems whatsoeva, I am not aware that I have deleted anything like codecs or anything that would make this start happening. Very strange!

    >assuming this is a codec issue
    Maybe... or maybe a Windows update changed "something" that has made your graphic adapter cause problems
    So... ATI or nVidia, and EXACT driver version... and, for either, have you gone to the vendor site (NOT Windows Update) to see if there is a newer driver?
    nVidia Driver Updates http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    IF you have nVidia... How to determine your nVidia driver version

    Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the popup window
    Select SYSTEM INFORMATION at the lower left corner
    Driver version should be the 1st line in Details

  • Help with Premiere Pro freezing after importing MPEG files

    I have
    had some files sent for me to edit which are MPEG I believe.  They will import, but
    as soon as I try and do anything with it, the whole thing freezes for several minutes!  It is unworkable.  I have tried waitin
    g for the audio file to conform.  I have tried rendering the work area.  None of this helps.  If it does play, it lasts for a few seco
    nds with sound playing at what appears to be twice the speed!  I normally wortk with DV files and these are fine.  By the way, the files I am struggling with do play in media player/real player etc.  I cant believe that premiere would not support this format.  Even Movie Maker just about manages it!  When it does freeze, it really freezes!  As in it wont even let me shut down without literally ripping out the power cable!!  Please help with simple English if possible, and sorry if I havent given you specifics that you would need.  But I honmestly dont know as these were just files sent to me on a memory stick. It was filming from a camcorder, but not sure what type.  The thumbnail says MPEG and the properties just says movie file.  It is about 2GB for an hour I think.  Thanks for any help.  My version is Premier Pro 1.5

    Genuinely sorry that I dont know all the technical things that people need
    to know.  I always try to find out when I am asked specifically and told how
    to find them.  I did look at the link, but that just seemed to be a lot of
    stuff about posting ettiquette, nothing about MPEGS.  Perhaps I got the link
    wrong.  All a bit hard for me as I have a visual imp[airment.  Thanks again

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Installation Failed - Again!

    Hi all
    We are currently using an old version of Adobe Premiere which I would like to upgrade to the latest version.  I want to show everyone in the company how good the latest version is and get them to pay for an upgrade/full version.
    I then noticed a free trial download for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and thought great idea. Well done Adobe I can now show everyone how good the latest CS4 version is.
    5 days later I still can not get the damn thing to install and work!! :-(
    In a desperate move I even tried it on a new Windows XP Pro SP3 - 3Gb RAM - Quad Core - 1Tb HD etc.. and when I try and install the Premiere windows 1.3Gb trial installation it eventually says at the end of the installation process (which takes for ever) "Installation Failed - One or more required components of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 failed to install correctly." and it shows the following error log:

    Error:
    Over the last 5 days I have looked through this forum site and tried every recommendation it suggests to fix the problem including:
    1) Uninstalling / Re-installing serveral times the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 which eventually comes up with the above error.
    2) Turned off all Anti-Virus applications and disabled all running windows applications.
    3) I have also tried the WinCS4Cleanupscript process
    4) Manually deleted and removed the premiere folders
    5) I even rang up adobes technical support line and they said use the forums to solve the problem. Cushy job they have...
    None of the above fix the problem...
    So here I am. Has anyone got any ideas how to make it run up in trial mode ?
    Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated as I suspect im not the only one having this problem.

    Day 8 - OK I have finally fixed the problem.  I got fed up and purchased the full Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 product and it installed and worked 1st time!!!
    I must admit im very annoyed that the Trial version failed but the full product works.  The 2 x Premiere Pro CS4 installation CDs went through the installation process without a hitch and I did not get any installation error messages at all.
    So my no 1 question is why does the online Adobe Premiere CS4 Trial version fail to install but the full product can ?
    For what its worth, here are my final observations from this whole saga:
    1) The first thing I noticed on the Full Product CD Installation is it defaulted to and installed the "en_International" version and not the "en_US" language version. For some reason the online trial version defaulted to "en_US" language and I used this option during the trial installations. Maybe this language option upsets the installation process on my UK PC.
    Now I have it working im not going to risk re-installing it all again. But if your a UK user and you encounter problems during the trial installation process then try selecting the "en_International" language option. You never know.
    2) Another obvious observation is the trial version has numerous features removed and hacked out of it  So did the Adobe engineer get carried away with the hacking process and also remove some important installation code and procedures.
    After several days of trying to get the trial version to work there is obviously a problem with the trial installation process and it needs looking at.  I must of installed and reinstalled it 15+ times and during this time it upset my Dreamweaver CS4 app so forcing me to re-install this application as well.
    Please Adobe just give the online users the option of 2 x CD ISO Images to download and burn onto a CD as this could save other users the same frustrating time I have had and maybe give you more revenue.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Won't work on my Macbook

    My hardware:
    Macbook / OSX 10.5.8 / 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4GB RAM / 106 GB of free hard drive space
    I just purchased the master collection (with student pricing, dunno if this matters).  I try launching Premiere Pro CS4, and imported a clip, and it immediately crashed.  Subsequent attempts to even launch the software without a hardware reboot simply crashed the software.   Now, a week later, I seem to be able to launch Premiere and start a new project, but after I'm prompted to name/create a new sequence, the screen "hangs" on a 100% dark greyy screen with no content and I have no ability to do anything.  At the top of the screen I can see the document path (Documents/Adobe/PremierePro/4.0/test.prproj), and thus I'm now stuck.  Any thoughts?  Is my hardware not robust enough to run Premiere?  I have no trouble launching After Effects or anything else.  Thanks.

    Adobe's specs say "1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card"
    Apple's tech specs for my macbook are:
    Supported resolutions: 1280 by 800 (native), 1152 by 720, 1024 by 768, 1024 by 640, 800 by 600, 800 by 500, 720 by 480, and 640 by 480 pixels at 16:10 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768, 800 by 600, and 640 by 480 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio; 720 by 480 pixels at 3:2 aspect ratio
    Graphics and video support
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory3
    So, I am guessing that my video board is not "robust" enough.  Anyone have any thoughts?

  • Vob Import Question in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1

    Hello,
      Prior to posting, I read numerous posts related to importing vob files in Premiere.  None of them seemed to address the particular problem I am experiencing, and I was hoping to find an answer here in the forums.  Here's what I am attempting to accomplish:
    1)  Export the vob files (there are 4 of them) from a commercial movie DVD to hard disk
    2)  Import the vob files into a Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 project
    3)  Build a sequence out of the 4 vob files
    4)  Replace the sound in two very short segments to eliminate profane language so that my children may watch the movie
    5)  Import the sequence into Encore CS4 and burn a standard DVD
    I was successful in all of the above steps 1-5.  So what's the problem?  I noticed, when viewing the output DVD, that at a certain point (only a single point) in the movie, the sound was garbled and the frames got 'wonky' (a technical term I picked up from Deke McClelland).  My first assumption, was that I had messed something up somewhere in my editing process.  When I navigated to the problematic time in my Premiere project, I saw that there was a problem in that at a certain point, the video would flicker, after which the audio would be out of sync with the video and would remain so until the end of the sequence.  If instead, I simply navigated within the sequence to a few seconds past where the problematic frames seemed to be, all would be well (audio and video in sync).  So, this means to me, that at the point where the problematic frames seem to be, Premiere has trouble interpreting them, and from that point on, the sequence is affected.  If the seemingly problematic frames are skipped, then Premiere does not enter its bad state.
    The next troubleshooting step was to start afresh, and see if the problem existed prior to making any edits to the sequence (i.e. steps 1-3 above).  The problem still existed.
    The next troubleshooting step was to see if a media player exhibited the same behavior as Premiere.  So I took the same vobs and viewed them with Windows Media Player 11.  There was no problem viewing the exact same vob in Media Player 11 that essentially is not viewable in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1.  Hmm.
    The next troubleshooting step was to see if an encoding program would exhibit the same behavior as Premiere.  I imported the same vobs into TmpEnc, and when viewing them, no problems were exhibited.
    Although not conclusive, it appears that there is a bug in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1.
    Another problem that I noticed with vobs, is that sometimes, Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 does not recognize the proper frame rate of a standard DVD vob file, e.g. given 5 vobs that comprise a single movie, the first vob is shown as simply a video file (i.e. no audio at all) @ 29.97 fps in the Project panel, but the subsequent 4 vobs are recognized correctly as having both audio and video @ 23.976 fps.  As before, I validated that the apparently problematic vob (from the Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 point of view) renders/plays perfectly fine in other applications (i.e. no audio or video problems).  I attempted to use 'Interpret Footage' to rectify the problem with the vob, and when I type in 23.976 fps, it takes it, but then displays in the Project panel as 23.98 fps.  It didn't fix the problem, but I was wondering if diplaying 23.976 as 23.98 (as opposed to 23.976 which is shown for the non-problematic vobs) is another problem.
    Thanks much for any and all help,
    Matt

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, you have several problems, but most are with your choice of equipment and your workflow, not your choice of an NLE.
    I took a wedding video from 1990 on a VCR tape and turned it to digital via a Dazzle hardware unit that plugs into the computer. It gives me vob files with no menus or anything like that
    Few people have ever been able to get a Dazzle to work. This is true, even with the Pinnacle software, that often comes with it. It is an AVID product now, as they bought Pinnacle, and if you can get it to work at all, you are ahead of 99% of all owners. Stop by the Pinnacle fora and type in Dazzle. You will get the idea quickly.
    A far better workflow would be to use a VHS player, hooked to an A-D device, like the Canopus/Grass Valley 110, or their 300. Use the Edius software that comes with it, to Capture DV-AVI Type II files w/ 48KHz 16-bit Audio. There will be zero OOS issues.
    Most other equipment and workflows are kludges and seldom work at any level.
    A good workman does not blame his tools. He might blame his choice of tools, but not the tools. Unfortunately, you chose a piece of hardware that doesn't usually work with the included software, and are blaming a great NLE program, because you are trying to work with horribly bad footage.
    Please do yourself a favor. Donate the Dazzle to Goodwill, and look at the Canopus/Grass Valley 110. The price differential is not that great, and you will keep all of your hair.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS just did 34 VHS tapes via the above suggestions (some LP and some EP), and got many hours of usable footage. Not one glitch. No OOS. Every file edited perfectly in PrPro and I delivered 15 DVD-5's, that the client loved. I paid for a Canopus 300 with just my time on one project.
    PPS, please see my post #5 for a link to an article on VOB files.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 does not import EX1 files longer than 1 hour

    I had to record a long speech and used a Sony XDCAM HD EX1 camera with a 32 Gb and a 16 Gb SXS cards. The speaker paused after 1h 26 min. I stopped the recording and waited until the green light that allows recording the segment came on. Later I recored smaller segments.
    I copied all the recorded files to the PC hard disk ( Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz with 3.25 GB RAM with XP Proofessional SP3).
    I used Sony Clip browser to watch the clips and all of them were perfect. Then I opened premiere Pro CS4 4.21 and I wanted to import this 27 GB file. In the media browser appeared only one mp4 file. All the short ones where imported normally but the big one freezed premiere and the only way to close premiere was with the windows task manager.
    I checked again in the Sony XDCAM clip browser version 2.6 and you can see it perfectly. There was a detail, though: in the lower part of the preview window I saw 6 marks. When I checked the file in the disk, I found that the 27 Gb file was separated in 7 parts. Each of them was 3.51 Gb and the last one 2.5 Gb. That means that the file was cut in pieces that were less than 4Gb supposed max file lenght.
    I tried many ways to import and no result. The I used the "export " of the sony clip browser. There is one choice that is "MXF for XDCAM HD". When I chose this item another panel appeared and showed a 1440 X 180 59.94i 25Mbps choice. I took it and after some time it created the 27 Gb file that I could import it normally with 4 audio tracks. But there is a drawback a "media concept" logo appeared to remeber to "buy" the program.
    Anyhow, the question is: How can I import to Premiere CS4 a MP4 file created by a Sony EX1 HD camera whose lenght is more that 1 hour long ?
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    I think  is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
    "My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

  • Can I import I-life files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?

    Okay, so not exactly an Apple question, but there are so many smart, helpful people on here, and the Adobe forum doesn' t seem very active.
    I recently got Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (the movie editing software).  I tried to import files from I-photo, but those folders wouldn't even open.  Tried to import files from the movie folder, which were in .mpg format, but got a message that it is an incompatible format.
    Those were just simple movie files taken with a small digital camera.  Does anyone know how I could use this footage in Adobe Pro?  I have access to other Adobe software as well, perhaps there is a way to convert the files?  If I try to import something to Adobe from I-movie, should that work?  Or from I-DVD?  Also, is it possible, with Adobe or regular Mac software, to import regular DVD footage (that is not in form of a computer file, but just something that plays in your DVD player) or perhaps convert it into a computer file?  I have some old VHS footage that was copied onto a DVD and would like to edit it, or at least have it on my computer as a file.
    Also, if I can't use those files, are there any places on the internet where one can download some simple footage to try out in Adobe?  I'm new to it, so I'm just trying to get some files together so I can try out how it works.
    Lastly, if anyone knows of a good online tutorual for CS4.  It's an older version, and on the Adobe site they only have tutorials for the newer one.
    Thanks!

    This is a forum. None of the users here -at least not to my knowledge - are Adobe professional
    Ninety-nine point nine percent correct. We are blessed with a few Adobe employees here, unlike some fora, but those folk are probably at NAB right now. Also, they are in other departments, so would have to walk "down the hall," or make a call, just as we would.
    When it gets to issues on licensing, installation, etc., we're pretty much at a loss. Most of us have never encountered such issues, and only know what we have read in others' threads, when they have bothered to report back. Even then, that is third-hand info.
    Last time that I had an Adobe installation issue was AI 3, IIRC. My upgrade version did not have the old database of S/N's. Mine was 00-000-003, and things had changed drastically. One call to Adobe, and a total time of about 5 mins. (including hold time), and I was given a number to plug in, and then everything installed perfectly. That was in about 1989, so is not quite contemporary. Still, that is the last and only first-person account that I can offer. Most here have zero personal experiences, as they came to the party later, and have just not had any such issues.
    We'd love to help, but just do not have the experience.
    Good luck,

  • Problem importing VOB files using Premiere Pro CC

    Something must have changed between CS6 & CC as far as importing VOB files from non-DRM DVDs.
    When I import the VOB files from a DVD using CS6, the import seems to go fine.
    But when I import the VOB files from the same DVD using CC, the video info Frame Size and Aspect Ratio of the last VOB files comes in "wrong" when it should be the same as all of the other files.
    It always seems to be the last file and it always seems to be off by the same amount.
    I can Interpret Footage back to the same aspect ratio as the rest of the VOB files, but I cannot seem to fix the incorrect framesize.
    I am using Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.1(4).
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Try this instead.

  • How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

    For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
    Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
    Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
    Please any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    NKC

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.

  • Importing Illustrator and Photoshop files to Premiere Pro CS4 (without rastering)

    Hello,
    I've made some economics graphs in illustrator that i'm importing into premiere.
    Premiere pro cs4 doesn't import illustrator files as layers, just a single image.
    I exported from illustrator to save as a .psd to maintain the layers.
    I then imported the .psd into premiere which created a folder with all the .psd layers.
    I dragged the .psd layers onto the timeline so I could animate them with dissolves, but noticed they became pixelated.
    I rendered the layers and they still looked pixelated, even after export they were pixelated.
    From what I understand, illustrator files become rasterised when you export as .psd.
    Is there any way of maintaining the crisp vector graphics created in illustrator when importing into premiere?
    Can I avoid rastering the files?
    Thank for your help in advance
    Kind Regards
    Ant

    Thanks for your reply and welcome to the forum.
    I wondered why premiere was doing such a bad job of anti-aliasing...it turns out that all the .psd files were imported as square pixels instead of rectangular so I right clicked and selected interpret footage, then selected conform to DV PAL1.45.
    I assumed that as I set up the original Illustrator document as a video document (720x576) it would maintain the aspect ratio.
    Somewhere between exporting to .psd then to premiere the aspect ration somehow changed?
    I've found a great tutorial that appears to have a better workflow than the method I was using, by first creating a template in premiere, which can be exported directly to photoshop, maintaing  the correct aspect ratio. It means i'll have to draw up the graphs in Photoshop now instead of Illustrator.
