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
Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop
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
I have a GTX285 using driver 296.10 and Win7

  • Change default Premiere Pro CS6 importing of files so it's NOT alphabetical

    With Premiere Pro CS5, I was able to import my Photoshop files with multiple layers (shapes, text, images, etc) and they would appear in order of Photoshop organization. For example:
    Layers in Photoshop CS5:
    Logo
    Address
    Main Text
    Background
    Importing them into Premiere Pro CS5:
    Logo
    Address
    Main Text
    Background
    Notice the order stays the same.
    Now that I have purchased CS6, everytime I try to import the layers into Premiere, they are imported alphabetically.
    Layers in Photoshop CS6: (still same)
    Logo
    Address
    Main Text
    Background
    Importing them into Premiere Pro CS6: (now alphabetical)
    Address
    Background
    Logo
    Main Text
    How do I change the default setting so it imports in the same order as Photoshop? I would like this version to be the new default as I use this everyday for work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    CS6 newbie, CS5 intermediate

    In both cases, the PSD imported in the exact order I had it in Photoshop.  I even went back into Photoshop, changed the order, reimported and it came in with the new order.  So unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the issue.  Which means I have no means to find a cause or test a fix.

  • Premiere Pro not accepting MOV files

    I'm running Premiere Pro CC for the first time today since the most recent update and am finding that it won't let me import MOV files. When I try to drag them in PP tells me that file type is not supported. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix it?

    Good point.
    Running PP CC 7.1 (looks like there's an update for 7.2 but CC says I'm up to date)
    Running Windows 7
    Trying to load H.264 MOV
    The error says that file type is not supported
    This is the first time this has happened
    Attached is a photo of what file types PP says I can import.

  • In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

    I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
    The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
    Video:
    The file is 2:21:29 in length.
    720x480
    Data rate 1489kbps
    Total bitrate 1617kbps
    29 frames/second
    Audio:
    Bit rate 128kbps
    Channels 2 (stereo)
    Audio sample rate 48 kHz
    The file is about 1.6Gb
    This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
    The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
    I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
    Suggestions?!

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Import Tiff Artefakte

    Hallo liebe Adober,
    ich habe folgendes Problem:
    Ich habe mit Maya Mental Ray unkomprimierte Tiffs rausgerendert und wollte diese Einzelbilder als Sequenz in Premiere Pro importieren und dann schneiden.
    Zunächst wollte Premiere diese Tiffs nicht öffnen, weshalb ich meine Einzelbilder mit dem Programm XnView in tifs konvertierte. (1280x720/Bittiefe 24/nicht komprimiert). Diese sehen immer noch gut aus.
    Nun kann ich die Bilder in Premiere öffnen, allerdings haben sie direkt nach dem Import gewaltige Artefakte...also große Schwierigkeiten mit Farbverläufen und dadurch sehen die Bilder einfach furchtbar aus.
    Leider muss ich zugeben, dass ich mit mich Konvertierung und Codecs nicht sonderlich gut auskenne. Bislang habe ich mit Cinema 4D gearbeitet und dort auch unkomprimierte Tiffs rausgerendert, was in Premiere  immer tadellos aussah - und weshalb ich mich nicht genügend mit den Einstellungen auseinandergesetzt habe.
    Ich habe auch andere Formate wie JPEG, PNG oder BMP ausprobiert, jedoch sehen diese noch deutlich schlimmer aus. Des Weiteren habe ich versucht, die tifs mit einer Bittiefe von 8 zu konvertieren, was ebenfalls schlechter aussah.
    Ich dachte an fehlende Codecs, aber eigentlich sind diese doch erst für den Export relevant, oder?
    Ich bin dankbar für jeden Hinweis!

    Danke Mylenium für deine schnelle Antwort!
    Farbraum ist sRGB, Alphakanal ist mit drin, linear und zusätzliche Kanäle wurden nicht mit gerendert.
    Wahrscheinlich habe ich es ungünstig rausgerendert... ich habe mir viel zu wenig Gedanken über den Wechsel von Cinema zu Maya gemacht, weil einem in Cinema schon so viel passend zurecht gelegt wird. Ursprünglich wollte ich VRay benutzen, doch dass hat aus einigen Gründen nicht geklappt und deshalb habe ich versucht, mich in wenigen Tagen in Mental Ray einzuarbeiten. Die Renderings sahen gut aus, also war ich zufrieden...
    Na ja, wie dem auch sei - leider habe ich keine Möglichkeit, die Dateien so schnell noch mal zu rendern und muss jetzt zu sehen, dass ich das Beste aus den vorhandenen raushole.
    Gerade habe ich FCheck ausprobiert, was ich bis eben noch gar nicht kannte. Ich habe die Einzelbilder geöffnet und als Tiff (und JPEG) abgespeichert. Allerdings wurden mir gar keine Optionen angeboten, kannst du mir sagen, wo ich diese finde? Google hilft mir da gerade nicht besonders.
    Das Endergebnis ist jedenfalls immer noch gleich. Die Source Sequence in Premiere sieht gut aus, aber die Program Sequence enthält wieder die Artefakte.

  • MAC CS5 - importing .VOB files (HELP!)

    I have a NON-copy protected TS_VIDEO folder.  I can play the video fine with DVD Player.
    I created a PP project...imported the VOB files and in the PROJECT preview window the video seems fragmented...jumps around the video...video clip are there but the entire video in the VOB isn't previewing.
    I brought it into the SOURCE window...same fragmentation...I dragged it to the TIMELINE...same fragmentation.
    What am I doing wrong?  Is is something to do with the SEQUENCE created...DV - NTSC 48mHz?
    Wouldn't you know this would happen the day before a project is due.
    I have rebooted the MAC, I have no other programs running...I have restarted PP...I have oodles of RAM.

  • Media Files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

    I have several large 60GB media video files I will be importing into the project section of Premiere Pro CS5.5   These files are stored on an external hard drive (will be using FW800) where I plan on working with these files from the external HD.   The question I have is, once I import them into the project section of Premiere Pro CS5.5 and start editing with various pieces of video from the project files, will the original media files residing on the external HD be changed or edited in anyway or will they remain the same?   It is my understanding that these files will remain unchanged and that CS5.5 will just use the data from the original files and then once the PP Project is exported, the data will just be copied from the original media and the original media files remain unchanged?  I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this to be ture.   Thank you!

    When working from external HDD's, here's a tip: make sure to set the drive letter for that external (on a PC) HDD in the computer's OS, so that it will ALWAYS be the same, everytime that it is plugged in, or turned on, regardless of the order.
    The links to those media files are absoute Paths, so if anything in the Path changes, the links will be broken.
    Good luck,

    Thanks again pointing out the  Adobe CC Cleaner URL
    When I said CCleaner previously, I was refering to a program that clean out garbages from PC (broken links, shortcuts, temp files, etcetera..)
    But late on, I have found out Adobe CC Cleaner (for Creative Cloud and CS5, CS6...) for cleaning Adobe craps after un-install.
    I just wish the hotline could mention it and not having me to swim to find out that tool does exists saving some precious time.
    Here is the status and what I have done to fix the problem:
    ...yeah, I was shooting in the dark...
    1. Uninstall completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (remove preferences)
    2. Run Adobe CCleaner (choose "all")
    3. Shutdown PC, reboot and Cleanup and Defragment C: drive
    4. Re-install completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
    5. Re-apply completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
           (note: for some reason, I need to do it three times to get the complete updates done, just retry and no changes between retry)
    6. Result : PremierePro still working fine, still hangs on Encore
           (Encore dialog screen was frozen as before from the begining and I had to use "Window-Task-Manager" to "end-the-task" of Encore)
    7.Conclusion: the problem is on the PC not AdobePremiereProduction
    8. Decision: Restore previous checkpoint of Window-7 Professional components
    9. Redone steps 1,2,3,4,5
    10. The result is the same as mentioned in point 6 and the conclusion is the same as mentioned in point 7.
    11. Ultimate Decision: Ground-zero style resfresh (see the follwoing steps)
    12. Separate Data from Window-7 (Move out all data from PC and unplug all connected portable hard drives
    13. Factory restore of Window-7 Professional using DVD-rescue (hard drive C: wiped out and reformatted)
    14. Apply all Updates for Window-7 Professional (over 121 updates, over 700Mb and many shutdown-reboot)
    15. Reconfigure Wireless for connecting to Internet
    16. Re-Install McAfee Antivirus
    17. Re-Install some usefull Softwares (Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, etcetera... Shareport for wireless USB Printer)
    18. Lot of Canon and Sony Softwares not re-installed because not used and not needed for now
    19. Clean install AdobePremiereProduction CS5 (no need to run Adobe CCleaner)
    20. Apply all updates for AdobePremierProduction CS5 (result is intermittent and have to retry few times to get it completed)
    21. Apply one by one updates for every single Adobe product to get it done\
    22. Shutdown and cleanup C: drive and defragment C; drive
    22. From now on, I am sure to have a FRESH an CLEAN PC with  a CLEAN CS5
    23. RESULT: AdobePremierePro-CS5 still working perfectly AS BEFORE
    24. RESULT: AdobeEncore-CS5 standalone do not hang ANY MORE
          but get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks) new
    24. Get message saying QUICKTIME not installed (with warning)
    25. Okay, install QUICKTIME from Apple to please CS5
    26. Shutdown PC, reboot PC just to be sure everything kick in properly
    27. RESULT: same as in point 24 (get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks)
    28. It's SHOOT in the DARK, ON MORE TIME, BABY
    29. Focusing on MicroSoft Visual C++ component: Comparing Installed products between my OLD PC and the freshly factory restored one
    30. The old PC has Microsoft Visual C++ 2005,2008 and 2010 (both x64 and x86)
    31. the new PC only has Microsoft Visual C++ 2008,2010 (both x64 and x86)

    33. Reboot PC after install
    34. AMAZING RESULT: Adobe-Encore-CS5 is functionning OKAY

          and I was able to play that DVD
    36. DID I DO ALL THOSE STEPS FOR NOTHING, WHY IT WAS SO COMPLICATED,

    2. the next prob is my dymanic linking does not work.
    Help please

    Im trying something and I hope you can help me. I have two computers, one dedicated to capturing a event and the other I have is dedicated to playback. They share the hard drive via a network. What I want to know is- is there a way for the dedicated playback machine to access a video file that is still being captured by the capturing machine and play back parts of it in a sequence??

    Zone Alarm, eh? I used to use that program, but it got in the way of almost everything that I did, that I canned it completely.
    Glad that removing ZA solved your issue.
    Personally, I find MOV Animation CODEC to be quite good, and use that for a lot of work. Jeff Bellune, here, like the Photo JPEG format, but I have not explored that.
    Good luck,

  • Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello Community:
    I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project.  I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours.  I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
    Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
    Thanks,
    Rich Locus

    Same issue. I previously used  NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
    I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
    I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
    I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
    EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
    EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
    I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
    Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

  • AVI file incomplete on import to Premiere Pro CS5

    For the past week I have been working with video content created in Camtasia and exported out of Camtasia Studio as AVI files using the Camtasia codec (TechSmith Screen Capture Codec). I then import the footage into Premiere Pro CS5 where I combine it with other elements. I had no problems with this until yesterday when I attempted to import an 18 minute long video created in Camtasia. The video exported fine and I am able to play it in full using Windows Media Player, but when I import it into Premiere, the video is only 2 minutes 38 seconds long (the first 2:38). I have attempted to re-export the video out of Camtasia Studio and attempted to re-import the footage into Premiere several times now, but the result is always the same. Premiere will only import the first 2:38.
    I am on a PC running Windows 7 and Premiere Pro CS5. Not sure what other info might be helpful. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

  • While importing clip getting error "The file contains too many audio channels" in premiere pro cs5

    Hey,

    where i am not able to import the last video clip.It is giving me same error "file contain too many audio channels"".
    Regards
    Manoj

    I too am getting this error in Premiere CS5.  I was digitizing a Broadcast VHS and since I did not have a breakout box, I hooked it up to a Sony DV deck so I could connect via firewire and capture inside Premiere.  I was able to capture and import 1 of the 3 clips and it did have 4 audio channels attached to it.  However, upon closer inspection only 2 channels had a waveform.  I captured the other 2 clips the same way, but this time, Premiere give the error "The file contains too many audio channels." 
    Any ideas?

  • Mov files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - XDCAM (MPEG) resp MPEG 1/2 (xdvc)

    Problem description:
    I got a bunch of MOV files on a HFS+ formated disk for editing on Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3). When I import to Premiere, Premiere says "Codec missing or unavailable". Paragon HFS+ is used to handle the HFS+ formated disk. I copied the data to a NTFS formated disk before using.
    The reseach I did give the following indications:
    I did try to play in Quicktime and Quicktime told that I would need additional software to play the .mov file. But I could execute show movie inspector and it shows "XDCAM EX 1080i 50 (35Mb/s VBR)".
    VLC plays (!) and tells that it is a "Mpeg 1/2 Video (xdvc)"
    MediaInfo says "MPEG Video (XDCAM)"
    Sound is (L)PCM according to the mov inspector programs.
    The MPEG2 format seems to be supported by Premiere (also in HD), forum entries tell me I should be at version 5.0.2 as there Adobe supports the MOV container. So now my question: What am I missing?
    I have no idea on the Camera used to film, but it could be a JVC, as it is told that the JVC writes mov files.

    Hi Colin,
    The explanation is quite simple and it appeared to me sometime during the weekend when executing completly different tasks.
    The video source is different! The small clips (and your test clip) are what came from the camera and was transcoded to mov, my test clip was the edit out of FCP! It was by chance the only mov-file left, all others have been deleted after transforming to mp4, not to keep the data in double and fill up the disks with unnessecary data. So I tested this clip, which was the mistake!
    Testing one of the original input files confirmed your result!
    The difference between the files is having indeed 2 mono audio streams (input mov) vs one stereo stream (edit mov), all 3 obviously PCM.

  • Trouble Importing MOV files in adobe premiere pro cs3

    Hi,
    I just bought a Canon 60D camera and I am using adobe premiere pro cs3 for the first time.
    I tried to import MOV file footages made by my Canon 60D, but it says that my files are not supported.
    I don't know what to do!
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hi All,
    Let me tell you how I solved the XDV9 codec trouble on my Windows 7 system. The solution is rather stunning because I am using completely free software. First download the Shark007 codec pack for your system here: http://shark007.net/forum/Thread-Setup-and-usage . Please be aware that the codec pack installer comes with a toolbar install option so make sure you de-select this option during the installation process. After installation check the MOV tab on the "Settings Application" program. Make sure "use LAV's splitter" is selected for MOV Playback.
    Now comes the crazy part... To convert the XDV9 MOV video clips just download Windows Essentials Movie Maker for Windows 7. At this moment more info about this program can be found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started . Again, make sure to set the right settings during installation otherwise you will be installing a lot of possible unwanted crap like Windows Live Mail, Windows Skydrive etc.
    Movie Maker has quite good settings for converting (High Definition or custom settings are supported). Select your clip, or select multiple clips to create an unedited full length clip of all your clips, and then select "create movie". I used the "use recomended settings for this project" settings as it matches the source file resolution and frame rates etc. It is quite some work to convert clips like this but its the only free solution I could find so far.
    Good luck!
