Premiere Pro CS4, Missing #1 Audio Channel

Running CS4, on Vista Ultimate 64.  P2 files
The 1st channel of audio is missing.  I checked the footage on a separate machine, and it's all good, but on my PC, the wave form on the 1st channel of audio is blank.  When I 1st put the audio into the timeline, I could see the wave form, but as soon as I hit play, it went blank.  I tried to "adjust audio gain" and it crashed the program.  I tried to make a new project, and re-import the audio in stereo, but it only gives me audio on the R side of the 1st channel.  The 2nd channel is fine.
Weird stuff.  Any hints?
Thanks!
Eric B.

The Panasonic P2 format
A  P2 card is a solid-state memory device that plugs into the PCMCIA slot of a Panasonic P2 video camera, such as the AG-HVX200. The digital video and audio data from the video camera is recorded onto the card in a structured, codec-independent format known as MXF (Media eXchange  Format). Specifically, Premiere Pro supports the Panasonic Op-Atom variant of MXF, with video in DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, or AVC-I formats. A clip is in the P2 format if its audio  and video are contained in Panasonic Op-Atom MXF files. These files are located in a specific file structure.
The root of the P2 file structure is a CONTENTS folder. Each essence item (an item of video or audio) is contained in a separate MXF wrapper file. The video MXF files are in the VIDEO subfolder, and the audio MXF files are in the AUDIO subfolder. XML files in the CLIP subfolder contain the associations between essence files and the metadata associated with them.
Note: Premiere Pro  does not support proxies recorded by some Panasonic P2 camcorders in P2 card PROXY folders.
For your computer to read P2 cards, it needs the appropriate driver, which you can download from the Panasonic website. Panasonic also provides the P2 Viewer application, with which you can browse and play media stored on a P2 card.
Note: To use certain  features with P2 files, you first change the file properties from read only to read and write. For example, to change the timecode metadata of a clip using the Timecode dialog box, you first set the file properties to read and write. Use the operating system file explorer to change file properties.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - Missing Sequence Presets?

    Hi -
    I recently installed the Production Premium suite on a mac running snow leopard, and ran all the updates. Premiere is at version 4.2.1. When I create a new sequence, these are my preset options:
    Am I missing the XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD presets, or am I just not looking in the right place?
    Incidentally, when I installed the suite, I ran into a problem where After Effects wouldn't launch. This was solved by uninstalling and reinstalling that particular app. I got an error message right at the end of that re-installation (a generic DONE WITH ERRORS), but everything has been working just fine with that program. Is it possible Premiere was affected by my re-install of AE? 
    Thanks for your help.
    Ed

    I gave it another try, and I now have both After Effects launching and otherwise behaving as it should, and I have the missing sequence presets back in Premiere. I followed both your instructions to the letter, making sure not to open any other programs during the installation process and rebooting the computer after each step. I even ran CleanScript four times, just to make sure. (It didn't find anything, but perhaps it helped anyway?) 
    One other thing I did differently was to avoid the Adobe Updater. After installing CS4 this latest time, the first thing I did before adding any of the updates was to check After Effects (it launched) and Premiere (the presets were all there). On my first two installations, I just went straight from installation to having Adobe Updater download and install all the updates. It's possible that things were working fine, and the problems were introduced during the mass installation of all the updates. So this time, starting with After Effects, I downloaded just the 9.0.2 update and installed it, rebooted, and then checked both AE and Premiere - everything was still fine. Then I did the same with the 4.2.1 update for Premiere, rebooted, and checked them both - still fine. I ended up doing each app one at a time, checking along the way to make sure no particular update broke anything else in the suite. It was probably a bit overkill after those first two, but I was so close, I didn't want to screw it up by being careless.
    Incidentally, after that second installation didn't work, I submitted a ticket to Adobe Customer Support. They got back to me last night, and their solution was to just download the plugins for the missing presets here:
    www.adobe.com/products/plugins/premiere/
    If anyone else is having difficulty, maybe that's another way to go.
    Thanks again for your advice.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 PCM export with 5.1 channels possible?

    Due to the missing SurCode DD 5.1 codec in CS4 I wonder if Premiere Pro CS4 or Encore CS4 can export or create a Blu-Ray disc with 5.1 PCM audio?
    I only can choose PCM stereo or DD stereo so far.

    I've a question. So far I could not export 5.1 channels with Premiere Pro CS4.
    Even I could not Master in 5.1. I hav same 5.1Master, but I could not change the (final) Master settings to 5.1. Can this be changed? Or maybe the probleme is that I don't have a driver or a plug-in, or can this be solved with puuting a 5.1 or 7.1 audiocard in the PC?
    Thanks forward!
    Oh I'd forgot. I only export to .avi, .mpg, .mp4. I don't use the other formats. Can this be somhow the probleme?

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Dynamics Audio Effect Problem?

    Has anyone experienced  problems with the Dynamics Filter in PP?
    For some reason the audio clip that the effect is applied to suddenly quits working at a point in the clip where there is a sudden peak.
    If this sounds familiar to anyone I can provide more detailed info about hardware/etc. if necessary.

    The solution is very simple,:
    This  update resolves the question.
    This update install modification in  dynalic link to support adobe autition3 instead of soundbooth.
    This updaye , also  adds support for AAF   import/export, Apple Final Cut Pro XML project import, and OMF export,   along with
    numerous other stability and quality improvements. The  update  is recommended for all Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 users.
    An important detail is that this feature only works in Windows. Sorry ´bout the poor MAC software.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4088
    The home page of all updates for Premiere Pro CS4 is here :
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=98&platform=Windows
    Reinstalling all the apllication and if  the aplication is standard  CS4 (4.0)  this acti0on will not resolve the issue.
    My recomendation is to install  update 4.0.1 and 4.1.0
    Others like 420, 421 is apllicable only if demand  use of large avc intra, red format and p2 with h264 and other improvments

  • Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

    Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer?  Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

    you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

  • Can't Uninstall Premiere Pro CS4 from Trial-Missing Uninstall file

    I was using the Premiere Pro CS4 (CS5 XP compatibility pack) as a free trial on my Windows XP computer. Since my trial period is over, I want to uninstall it. Unfortunately, something seems to be wrong. When I click on "Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5" in my Add or Remove programs list, it says "An error has occured while trying to remove Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5. It may have already been uninstalled. Would you like to remove Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5 from the program list?"
    I click No, because going into my Programs Folder, I see that nothing has been removed. I tried using the Clean Up script, choosing CS4 and later CS5, but the clean up program's box said no sessions were found.
    After, I looked in the Adobe Premiere folder itself for an uninstall program, but found none.
    I cannot even start the program anymore. Starting it, a dialogue box pops up saying
    Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
    If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of the screen.
    Error: 3
    As far as I can tell, technical support doesn't come with a free trial, and my trial is expired anyway.
    How can I get this program off of my computer now that I cannot use it?

    =========
    It may have already been uninstalled. Would you like to remove Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5 from the program list?"I click No, because going into my Programs Folder, I see that nothing has been removed
    ===========
    This is the part I suggested you click YES...instead of NO... to see if removing the support then allows you to remove the whole program.. kinda a 2 step process...dont know if it will work or not.
    You can call adobe support and explain the problem and they might be able to walk you through some process that works okay.. I would try that even though it may take some time to go through it.
    I don't see how trying to reinstall could hurt you but I kinda doubt it will work...but why not try it??
    Sorry, but I can't think of anything else ... except messing around with the "install / remove " programs stuff as mentioned above...

  • Video Filter missing:  AE.ADBE Fast Blur - Premiere Pro CS4 mac

    Hi, I own the master collection package of the cs4 products for Mac, and I'm having this problem when trying to open a project made on premiere pro 1,5 (win). All files, effects and tittles where imported perfectly on my Mac after opening and saving the project on win premiere cs3. The only problem is the fast blur plugin. I get this error when opening the project on premiere cs4. I need to have the fast blur plugin working because I don't want to re-create the whole transitions of this 1 hr length project.
    I tried copying the Fast_Blur.plugin from after effects and pasting it on my premiere pro plug-ins folder (/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Plug-ins) but with no luck, apparently premiere ignores it. Also tried to copy it to /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Common but this gave me several errors and the application not launching.
    What can I do to use this plugin in premiere cs4 Mac?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Placed the afx cs4 Fast_Blur.plugin on /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.app/Contents/Frameworks/MediaCoreUI.framework/Fast_Blur.pluginand nothing... ignored as when placing it on Plug-Ins folder...
    Where is this mediacore folder on win?
    Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that the Mac CS4 afx "Fast_Blur.plugin" isn't comptible with the Mac CS4 Premiere.
    I don't own a CS3 mac version... does anyone knows if it has the fast blur? I could try to use that file...

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 - Export issue.

    Hello to the Adobe Community!
    Maybe someone here can help me out with some Premiere issues.
    I am using Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1.
    I'm on Windows 7 64 (Ultimate N).
    My system is:
    Intel Core i5CPU [email protected]
    3GB RAM
    I have updated all Adobe software, and my drivers.
    I've had a good look over the forums and I found this article. It's very useful, and hoping it would be my saviour, I went through all the advice given.
    Still no luck!
    I'm trying to export the media from Premiere to Media Encoder.
    My sequence settings are:
    1280 x 720
    Square pixel aspect ratio
    25fps
    48000HZ - Stereo
    My render settings are:
    MPEG2 - DVD
    PAL HIGH QUALITY
    Everything else is left to the default setting.
    When I try to encode via the Media Encoder, it gets to about 1/3rd of the way through and I get a message:
    'Encoding Failed
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    I have also tried, as per previous posts, to use the Adobe Dynamic Link, both from Premiere out to Encore, and importing in from Premiere when I'm in Encore.
    Still no luck! I get an 'encode failed' message when I try to transcode it. I'm pulling out my hair with this one.
    Can anyone shed any light on this?
    NB: This is my first post on this forum, so apologies if I have missed anything out.
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Em.

    Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions - Evan I think you might be right on the memory issue.
    I tried one last thing - running Premiere in compatibility mode as an administrator.
    Again, it failed after about 7 minutes. It's quite a complicated project, but it's only 14 minutes long.
    The strange thing is that although it doesn't seem to render on my work pc, it renders on my home pc, which has similar specs:
    CPU: Intel Core i5 760 2.8GHZ 8MB
    MEMORY: 4GB (2x2GB) PC12800 DDR3/1600mhz Dual Channel Memory
    MOTHERBOARD: Asus P7P55-M Intel P55 Chipset
    NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
    I forgot to say that my work pc, listed above uses an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card.
    Do you think that 1GB can really make all the difference?
    Sorry if that's a stupid question, I don't have a massive amount of technical knowledge.
    Cheers!

  • Kodak videos lag in Premiere Pro CS4 timeline

    Hey all,
    Apperently there's a bug in Adobe Premiere Pro which makes it difficult to edit videos that were captured in a Kodak camera.
    This issue was discussed here before, but even after reading all threads in the subject I could not solve the problem.
    I've been trying to convert these files (.mov) to many other formats and codecs with no success.
    After a while I got to find this crappy software that claims to specialize in converting Kodak's video files (iOrgSoft Video Converter).  Between many tries of various softwares that was the only one that did  it right. But the software isn't free. The trail version leaves a  watermark on the each video.

    I'm looking for another way to convert this file correctly so it will work well in Premiere.
    Does anyone have any idea about this?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Moshe.

    Hi,
    If CS5 handles this right than I  guess that's about it.
    Thanks again for both of you.
    This is CS3...with the mainconcept plug in trial ....as mentioned earlier...your original source loaded GREAT into the project...and plays great...etc....
    The plug in trial gives that logo thing and has a limit of 5min video I think....although I've exported stuff with this and the logo was NOT on the final export...or was much smaller .....dont know if that would influence you on trying the plug in...
    But what I mean to say is with cs3 it works great with the original file you supplied as a sample...
    ( I used this in another thread here where someone was trying to get timecode to run backwards...which is why you see that timecode thing...)
    good luck with everything !  

  • Premiere pro cs4 crashes during splash

    hi i recently installed premiere pro cs4 and when i try to open it it crashes when it gets to loading solidcomposite.aex. i tried removing each plug-in and it kept crashing on the next plug-in. however, when i removed asiowdm.dll the splash immediately ended and appeared to crash because nothing opened. i dont know what asiowdm.dll is but would anyone know why this file would cause problems and if there is anything i can do to fix it?
    THANKS!

    Mike,
    When something works one day, but not the next, it is almost always a sign that something has changed. It could be a seemingly insignificant incident, such as MS Windows doing an automatic update, or it could be more significant, like loading new software, or adding/removing hardware.
    Think about what has, or might have, gone one, from the time that PrP worked, and now. Check the schedule of your OS updates and see if any were installed in that time. Did you change any hardware? Did you install ANY new programs?
    With the OS updates, drivers that worked perfectly before can be rendered obsolete. Check for any video and audio driver updates for your system. Also, check your current version of QuickTime and also your Flash player. I may be confusing the programs, but IIRC PSs installer relies heavily on the Flash player. Might be true for PrP too. Many folk had problems with PS installing, and either had a hosed Flash player, or needed to update what they had.
    If Jeffs idea does not work, also look on the MS Windows site. There was an issue with an older version of MS Installer and PS (do not recall this problem with any other Adobe programs, but might have missed the articles). MS corrected the problem and a simple install of the new MSI took care of all issues. Do not recall if this was in XP, or Vista, but MS is pretty good at listing which OSs their fixes cover.
    Others have had positive results by doing an install from the contents of the DVDs copied over to the hard drive (need some real estate there), and then running the installation from the Desktop. Some also needed to do the install from Safe Mode, but not all.
    Again, if Ive mixed up exactly which Adobe program suffered from some of these, I apologize. BTW, what forum am I in? Ah, now I see, PrP CS4...
    Good luck and please let us know how it goes,

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - Problems with mpeg2 export file

    Hello!
    I shoud get export a one videofile (mpeg2 D-10, 4:2:2) with 4 audio channels (two stereo track). Audio must be .wav and PCM. The end result shoud be on channel 1 and 2, which has music, effects and narration. Channels 3 and 4, everything else, but without narration. (tv company wants to change narration language).
    The problem is that Premiere Pro cs4 connects two separate stereo tracks  to one stereo track when I export mpeg2 file. Another problem is that Premiere Pro does not accept PCM audio if  I have any multiplexing setting selected. If I select none multiplexing, audio is seperate from the video file.
    I have now about 150 test clips with different settings, nothing works...So, please help me! What shoud I do? Is this possible with Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder? If so, how it can be done?

    I don't believe the end result is possible with Premiere Pro alone. You'll have to export out am .m2v file, and two separate .wav files.  Then look to other tools to mux them together.

  • My Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 wont export properley.

    Im running Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on my Windows Vista & everytime I try to export my video something goes wrong. When I go to export, it opens Adobe Media Encoder & starts encoding it, but most of the time it will jus stop encoding. Even the elapsed time stops ticking. & I know it isnt the program freezeing up because I can still click the icons and even cancel or add new files, and it isnt just running slow because ive left it for 4 hours and it made no progress at all. A few times it has finished but the video gets screwed up. Like once a certain effect didnt show up, & both times the clips got screwed up & jus flashed green & repeated with the audio stillplaying fine. The only thing I can think of is it's the fact that Im running Vista or that the video has 117 items imported. Please help, Im at wit's end.

    Alright, my computer is a Windows Vista. My processor is AMD athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4450e 2.30 GHz. I have 3 Gigs of memory (RAM), and it's a 32-bit Operating System. I have 2 harddrive Disks, the C drive (85.6 GB free of 112 GB) and a "FACTORY_IMAGE (D:)" with 1.53 GB  free of 11.2 GB, but I think the D drive is just for recoverey, it came built in with the computer. My virtual memorey says it's saving on the C drive and has "Total paging file size for all drives: 3241 MB". I close all other programs besides Adobe Premire Pro CS4, and Adobe Media Encoder when encodeing. Ive also tried running just Media ENcoder with same results.
    The video files I have uploaded are .MP4 and .FLV. Ive uploaded MP3 files for some of the sound clips and PNG for some still images. Like I said before I have 117 imported files. Also my video is 7 minutes and 44 seconds long.
    Now my problem has never accoured in the same place in the video. It seems to be spontanious. For example I tryed to export it the first time and it encontered an "Unknown Error" this was at a minute and a half of encoding the video. Then the second time I tryed to encode it it worked all the way through, but when I went to play the file it played just fine up until a point. then a series of clips began to flicker and play the wrong clips, some times from a scene that happened just previously to the clip before and also flash green. The audio stayed the same though. After the clip finished and another clip began to play it worked fine. Then I tryed to encode it a third time and this time it simply stopped encoding. Like I mentioned earlier the program or my computer never froze it just stopped encoding and the timer stopped. This happened a few more times before it finished encoding it again, but the same problem happened with the skipping, playing the wrong clip and flashing green while the video progressed, but this time it happened at a compltetly different part. For exaple the first time it happened about 2 minutes into the movie and the second time it happened about 5 minutes intot he movie.
    When while I was making the video randomly the flickering of wrong clips and green flashing accourded when I would played a scene, now by just restaring premiere the problem would go away and the scene would play just fine. But this only happened in editing maybe 3 times. Unlike when I was encoding where it happens everytime the program finishes.
    I hope this was enough info, if Ive missed anything please tell me.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Functionality Questions

    Hey everyone,
    I've been thrown onto a Project which is using Premiere Pro CS4 (we have been using Roxio VideoWave), and have some basic questions I'm hoping someone can answer (I'm no expert in the video editing software field):
    1) in Video Wave, I can easily add photos and movies to a project just by dragging and dropping from Windows explorer. In Premiere, it seems the only way I can add photos and videos to a project is to import the media, and then drag them from the "project library" to the timeline. Is there a way to drag and drop a photo directly from Windows Explorer into a Timeline? If so, please tell me what basic step I'm missing. :-)
    2) Is there any way to preview what a transition will look like before actually adding the transition to the movie?
    3) When I add a video/photo from the project library, I have to hold the CTRL key to have it to a "ripple" insert (eg, push everything else in the timeframe out). Also, I have to hold the CTRL key to do a "ripple trim". Is there any way to set these actions as the default so I don't have to hold the CTRL key down for these?
    4) Lastly (for now :-) ), in Roxio Videowave I could easily edit the volume of a sound clip in the timeline just by clicking on the middle line going through the sound wave and dragging it up or down. I can't seem to figure out if there's a similar easy way to do it in Premiere Pro.
    Any help appreciated! Again, sorry if these are basic stupid questions, but Premiere is currently way above my level of experience.
    Thanks! :-)

    1) Is there a way to drag and drop a photo directly from Windows Explorer into a Timeline?
    In Premiere, no, there is not--at least not from Explorer itself. You need to import the files first (you can drag and drop them into the Project panel/bin), and then edit them into a sequence. However, you might try out the Media Browser; go to Window > Media Browser if you don't see it. Media Browser will give you an Explorer-like interface that you can use to drag files directly from the folder structure on your hard drive into a sequence; when you do so, they will simultaneously be imported into the project.
    2) Is there any way to preview what a transition will look like before actually adding the transition to the movie?
    Nope; you just have to try them until you find one you like. Then memorize it
    3) When I add a video/photo from the project library, I have to hold the CTRL key to have it to a "ripple" insert (eg, push everything else in the timeframe out). Also, I have to hold the CTRL key to do a "ripple trim". Is there any way to set these actions as the default so I don't have to hold the CTRL key down for these?
    Nope; those are hard-wired. It'll become automatic for you after awhile.
    4) Lastly (for now :-) ), in Roxio Videowave I could easily edit the volume of a sound clip in the timeline just by clicking on the middle line going through the sound wave and dragging it up or down. I can't seem to figure out if there's a similar easy way to do it in Premiere Pro.
    You probably don't have the volume or keyframe adjustments enabled for your track. Check the following screenshot:
    You can select either "Show clip Keyframes" (which lets you keyframe other effects via the dropdown on the clip) or "Show Clip Volume" which shows just the volume effect. A yellow line will appear across the waveform; you can drag it up and down to adjust the total volume of a clip, or use the Control/Command key and click on the rubberband to add keyframes/nodes so that you can ramp the audio. You can also Control/Command click on a keyframe again to make it sprout handles so that you ease in or ease out the level. Note that you can also select the "Track" options, but that (as the name implies) adjust the level for the whole track and not individual clips.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 "Export Settings" window does not show up.

    Hello,
    I've run into a new problem with Premiere Pro CS4. Basically, when I select "File > Export > Media" my Export Settings window doesn't show up. If I click on the Premiere window I hear the beeping sound and nothing happens, if I hit Enter the Export Data window pops up and then Media Encoder opens. So, it seems that my Export Settings window is still open but I can't see it and make the necessary setting changes. It does not appear to be minimized and I can not locate it on my desktop anywhere. This is really frustrating because I was able to see the Export Settings window just a few weeks ago when I was exporting my last project. I've tried changing my screen resolutions but that didnt reveal the Export Settings window.
    Does anyone know what is going on here and, more importantly, how I can fix it? I am really stuck here and am working against a deadline. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Ben,
    THANK YOU!!!! For two days I have been struggling with the exact same issue. And of course it was simple to fix, if I had just thought about it. Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. I had tried all sorts of stuff trying to get everything onto my #1 monitor, with desktop & workspace resets, resizing my display, etc. After reading and printing your post,
    Hitting ALT+Space,
    Down Arrow,
    Enter,
    and then pressing the left arrow and watching my Export window slide into view, I was laughing so hard, that I was tearing up. It would have been a month waiting for my second monitor to get repaired to get to see what was still being displayed on this ghost monitor. Each week, I video and edit our church's service and then post three versions (Windows Media Player, Ipod-MP4, MP3 Audio) of it to our web site. I would have been four weeks behind were it not for your post.
    Again, a BIG Thank You!!!
