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 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.

    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.

  • Problem exporting Premiere Pro CS5.5 projects with still photos and h264 video

    I'm a longtime Final Cut Pro user and evaluating Premiere Pro for my workplace before making the switch. I have been running into several problems when I try to export raw h264 video from a Canon 5D combined with still images on a Macbook Pro. Either I receive an error in Premiere Pro saying, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." or Adobe Media Encoder appears to continue exporting (the time elapsed bar continues to move) even though the time remaining stays frozen once it hits a photo it doesn't like. It's not always the same photo.
    I've spent several days trying to troubleshoot the issue, including batch resizing all photos to 1920 wide (to match the video settings), and it hasn't work. The sequence is currently set to render in ProRes 422. I've also tried HDV 1080p30 and MPEG-4. I cannot find any consistency with the errors. Occasionally an export will work, but every couple still photos will look like green static. I've also tried batch converting the photos in Photoshop to PNG and GIF without any luck. I'd include my default export settings but I've pretty much tried it all. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing the error since the message is very vague.
    Couple other notes:
    There's plenty hard drive space available for export
    I can export the DSLR video (h264, 1080p30) without still photos no problem
    I can edit the same still photos and video in Final Cut with no problem
    I have the same problem with auto-save on and off
    I tried re-installing production premium, deleting the preference files and cleaning the media cache - no luck. I also tried exporting under a different user account and it wouldn't work.
    This is driving absolutely crazy. I'm affraid to use PP on deadline because I don't see any issues until it's time to export. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Todd. Your questions were actually very helpful. I'm using a Macbook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. I'm running OS 10.6.8 and have the latest updates installed.
    When I disabled the GPU acceleration, I was able to render and export without a problem. The problem only occured when using the GPU acceleration and mixing h264 with still photos. It also affected both rendered previews and the final export. I'm assuming its a support issue with the graphics cards, but it would be great if you had any other ideas. I appreciate your help.

  • 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.

    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 CC (2014) and Grayscale Still Images?

    Dropping black & white still images in the timeline. Is it better to leave them as Grayscale, or should I convert them to RGB?

    Take a look at your GPU usage with something like GPU-Z to see if both Premiere versions are using the same amount of MPE GPU hardware acceleration.  Actually with CC 2014 it might work faster because Adobe added in more 4k effects/features for GPU acceleration.
    You might want to download our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) and run it on both versions.  The H.264 very complex timeline has 4K material in it and usually shows Premiere Pro 8.xxx take about only half the time that Premiere Pro CS6 take to export that same timeline.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • Premiere Pro CC Export issue on still images

    Premiere CC latest version 2014.
    Hey guys. So I've recently had some serious problems on a couple of projects where I have exported videos with stills (jpegs) in the timeline, and they flicker or have dark lines running through when exported to h264 files - but only on the still images. It is not interlace issues. The exports have odd dark lines flickering over that portion of the export file. The video elements in the timeline seem to export fine though. It has happened on both my main desktop PC on a large complicated edit and on my VAIO laptop on another separate projects that was a very simple talking head with JPEG overlays. So I don't think its an isolated issue in a particular project or on a particular graphics card. Is this a bug in Premiere? 
    This is a serious problem that got me into trouble this evening on a quick turn around job and I couldn't export a decent version of my timeline.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi James,
    This is a serious problem that got me into trouble this evening on a quick turn around job and I couldn't export a decent version of my timeline.
    Any suggestions?
    Sorry about that. Did you apply any effects? If so, what were they and with which combinations? Did you apply effects to clips or to adjustment layers?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • 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.)

  • Premiere Pro CS5 won't Render. Freezes for 1-2 minutes when I try to edit the timeline.. Help!

    Hi Guys
    I'm new to this, but in desperate need of help. Thought i'd give it a shot and let you know what my problem is!
    Basically i'm editing a dance concert which is approx 2 hours long. I'm running a late 2011 model iMac w/ i7 Quadcore and 16GB of RAM.
    Using Sony XDCAM EX 1080p footage (2 cameras). Everything was going so well until I rendered (not export) the footage overnight. It only rendered less than half of the footage and won't allow me to render anymore.  Doesn't even show the details of the amount of frames.. estimated time etc.
    Heres a screen shot -
    I checked my hard drive space and there's 150 GB left so there's more than enough for it render.
    Another problem is that any editing i do to the timeline whether it's trimming, moving, copying etc. It just lags / freezes for about 1-2 minutes (has the loading Icon) then goes back to normal.
    Before I did the rendering last night, everything was fine. I was able to edit very smoothly without any lag or freezing. First time i've encountered this. I did the same production last year using the same cameras, file format and software version and it was fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Jeremy

    Remove the gaps in your timeline  or fill the gaps with black clips and try again.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 - mask

    Hi
    In some of my video clips, I would only use "Video Effect" in a particular area. for instance, in the middle of the video clip. 
    In Photoshop I can apply "Layer mask" og make a "Selection", and in the After Effect, I can also use masks, but how do I do in Premiere Pro CS5?
    See the attached image, it perhaps explains better what I mean.

    I am an AE idiot due to no experience.. but love PS as I've used for years.. and often make titles and masks in PS...although I have seen tutorials where doing the masks in AE if really very similar to PS and pretty easy once you know how...
    If you want to though.. if you want to make mask in PS and import that as an image to your video edit.. you can do it.. and then track it or whatever  you need to do..
    white is tranparent, feathering edges of selection in PS does all the stuff you maybe be used to.. using PS... ( white to black )..
    basically open your image in PS , make new channel ( alpha ) , make new path, make the path and fill with white and do what you want with the selection ( feathering etc ).. so you'll have a new layer with your selection ( mask )... make sure the mode is rgb 32 bit.. and " save as " ... you'll get your mask from PS... ( check the box on 'save as ' to include alpha ).
    good luck !

  • Avid DNxHD into Premiere Pro CS5.5?

    Howdy. New to Premiere Pro and trying the demo. Unfortunately I'm having a issues right off the bat.
    I'm trying to import Avid DNxHD 36 media from Media Composer 5.5. But I get some issue saying that the codec isn't supported. Am I wrong that DNxHD is supposed to be native in Premiere Pro CS5+?
    Thanks!

    I wouldn't be surprised if REDCineX was using FFmpeg under the hood for that! Definitely use FFmbc for such things, however--it's got more functionality built-in for professional media. It's MXF support is waaay better than FFmpeg's.
    BTW: The Premiere Pro docs are rather tight-lipped and inconclusive about the whole matter...
    From File formats supported for import:
    MXF (Media eXchange Format; P2 Movie: Panasonic Op-Atom variant
    of MXF, with video in DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra;
    XDCAM HD Movie, Sony XDCAM HD 50 (4:2:2), Avid MXF Movie), and native
    Canon XF (new in Premiere Pro CS5.5)
    From Importing assets from tapeless formats:
    Avid capture format
    Avid editing systems
    capture footage to MXF files, generally into a folder called Avid
    Media files, with audio captured into discreet files separate from
    the video files. When you import Avid video files, Premiere Pro
    automatically imports their associated audio files. However, it
    is simpler to import Avid project files, in Advanced Authoring Format
    (AAF), than to identify and import individual Avid MXF video files.
    Hmm... yeah. A veritable cornucopia of information.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Importing still images

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/importing-still-images.html

    I might be incorrect in this, but think that there is a Ps Script, that will do what you want.
    I would ask in the Photoshop Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
    and also in the Photoshop Scripting Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
    If my memory is not totally hosed, one of those should yield the Script (if it exists, as I claim to remember) for that task.

  • Importing mov files in premiere pro cs5

    I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on my machine and now, i have two issues.
    1. I do have the latest quicktime installed but when i try to import *.mov files with audio, only the audio is imported and works fine. the video isn't, but I dont get a dialogue error box.
         A). if the *.mov file has only video, i get a file import failure message saying " the file has no audio or video streams".
    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,
