Premiere Pro CS6 and CC with bad quality and incorrect colors in output video

Hi everyone!
I'm frustrated with my results after exporting a video with Adobe Premiere Pro (both CS6 and CC).
The color of the video output is slightly different to the original file (i've checked if it was a problem with my video player, but no, i've tested the video with WMP and others with no success).
Also the video quality is a little bad compared to the original file (i even tried to use frame blending once).
Notice that i'm not using any effects or anything alike, and i'm a begginer in video editing.
These are the parameters from the original video (made by Media Info software):

I'm exporting the video using almost the same parameters from the original file.
Here's a screen shot of my settings in Premiere:
As you can see in the printscreen, the settings only differ from the original file parameters in the bit rate (which i raised a little),
the TV standard (which i have no ideia what it changes), the level of H.264 (which i raised from 4.0 to 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1), and the bit rate encoding (which i've tried using CBR, VBR 1, and VBR 2).
Just for my curiosity...why these numbers in orange are so extensive? I mean, the original video is only 01:35:30:06 in final output (which is correct).
Notice that i do not use key frame distance (as i don't know what it does).
If i'm doing something wrong, please tell me.

Well if i do that, the video will raise up GBs larger (and that is really bad).
Why is it really bad?
Its a fact of digital life. High datarate = quality.
example ...even the Youtube preset is in the 8mpbs area.
...and you are exporting 1 hr 35mins of media.

Intermittent problem after launching Premiere Pro CS6.0.2 - audio pitch dropped and video staggering

Intermittent problem after launching Premiere Pro - all audio is lower in frequency by very noticeable amount and video keeps dropping back a few frames every few seconds, apparently trying to keep in sync with slower audio.
This does not happen consistently, perhaps every 5 or 6 launches. Otherwise program works normally after launch and sometimes a quit and relaunch will fix the problem.
Have submitted bug report but wondered if anyone else having the same problem?

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 CS6 feezes along with the rest of my computer

I'm going to be calling support tomorrow, but I thought I'd give a try here until I do.
My problem is when I use the 'guassian blur' effect on a jpeg file in my video track - the moment I change the blur value or interact with it in anyway the whole system will not respond.
My computer does not register any clicks I make although I can freely move my mouse
My mouse simply remains in the last cursor state before freezing. If it is the normal mouse arrow it will not change when moused over to areas that would normally make it change.
These are all signs showing that there is not more response from my computer at this point.
My only choice at this point is to force shut down my computer by holding down the power button.
I've tried uninstalling Premiere Pro and reinstalling it, the problem presists.
I know I have no errors external errors unrelated to Adobe because my computer was recently clean installed not less than a week ago.
I hope I've been able to explain this bizzare occurance.

NVIDIA GPUs for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 | NVIDIA and Adobe Solutions | Adobe TV

Sean Kilbride from NVIDIA talks about how Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and NVIDIA GPUs were used in the editing of the Heavy Hand music video.
http://adobe.ly/QaVPwR

I'm playing around with the trial of CS6 right now. At first I wasn't getting the option to use GPU rendering until I added my card to the supported list (GeForce GTX 670). Unfortunately my playback is still laggy, just like when it was on software mode. I'm trying to watch 1080 video that I recorded using software on my computer.
I have an i5 2500k at 4.3GHz, 8GB ram, and two 670s in SLI.
I have premiere pro cs6 running on my main SSD, and my scratch disks set to my single platter 7200 RPM hdd. In the past on CS5 I was able to have my scratch disks set to the drives I have the original files on with no lag.
What can I do to get smooth playback?

Premiere Pro CS6 serious error has occurred, crash troubleshooting

ERROR MESSAGE: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project
Problem: Starting last night Premiere would crash with this error message. This has been happening increasingly more over the past couple weeks, but starting last night and today - it has happened so much that I cannot get more than 5 minutes of work done without it crashing. It has happened on saves, renders, playback, switching active timelines, removing the mojo effect from a clip, and while sitting dormant. I’ve had the computer less than a year and hope that it is not a serious problem with my RAM or graphics card.
Using Premiere Pro CS6 - subscription based with latest update installed

Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

Third-party effects or codecs: Use Pluraleyes 3.0 and Mojo color from Red Giant
I realize this is a general error message and there are several forums posted from mostly more than 5 months ago. I cannot seem to find an answer that will help me. Here is what I have already tried:
1. updated to Maverick
2. checked for updates for Adobe software
3. Cleared the Media Cache
4. Switched from CUDA to software only
5. Updated CUDA and switched back to CUDA in premiere
6. Held SHIFT while starting up (nothing seems to happen or pop up on screen at least)
Next:
—Going to uninstall Premiere and reinstall.
Any suggestions or possible fixes are great appreciated. What should my next step be?

UPDATE:
STEP 1:
Uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere - worked without crashing for the longest time since yesterday. After 1 hour of running - it crashed once again with same error message and same report (see below).
Same as before:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
STEP 2:
--Updated the RED GIANT plugin "mojo" (minor coloring software)
This worked for less than 10 mintues and then crashed again - but this time with different exeception details (I'm not sure what these mean)
Crashed Thread: 2
Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000
Application Specific Information:
*** CFRelease() called with NULL ***
STEP 3:
Going off of the idea that it may be the plugin causing the issue (since it needed to be updated) I went into the project and deleted all of the files containing this effect in this project file (note: i have used this for 10+ projects on this computer with no trouble).
I thought it was fixed, from about 8:00 PM - 11:45 PM no crash - then as I was playing back clips - crashed again.
I have been loosely following these guidelines: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-mac.html
I am not sure where to go from here - should I continue into the "advanced troubleshooting" even though I'm not sure if any of these things are related.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have launched two other Premiere Project Files (from previously completed projects) successfully without crashing. I tested a few things in the projects before returning to the problem project. If I suspect there is a problem with the file in particular - how do I find out what is causing the problem?
--I already removed MOJO effects thinking that could be the issue from the last files that were
--I have already gone back to a previous version from a week ago and imported the Sequence I needed. Still crashed.
I have sent 5+ reports to Adobe on the crash. Any feedback into this is much appreciated.

Premiere Pro cs6 keeps crashing when im editing or rendering a video

When I am on Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 every 10-20 mins it crashes when im editing a video, it crashes more often when im rendering it (export media, ctrl+M). I dont mind when it crashes while im editing because i save the file regularly but when im rendering its a problem, it probably because the file is too big as i use dxtory to record skyrim but this is an expensive product so it should be able to render. I encode the file once ive chosen the format and stuff for the video and it says finish rendering in 50 mins or so and when it gets to like 4% rendering it says not responding. It then troubleshoots but then says 'close program'. this is very frustrating, please can someone help me.

Reinstalling Premiere Pro CS6 (via CC download manager)

I have Premiere Pro CC which of course does not have Encore with it. So I followed the instructions on downloading Première Pro CS6 and uninstalling Premiere Pro CS6 but not uninstalling Encode CS6, adding templates etc.
But after all that I could not find the Encore executable. So I thought I'd just reinstall. I uninstalled Encode CS6 first so that no Premiere Pro CS6 stuff was left in Programs and Features.
Now I want to reinstall Pr CS6 but the download manager thinks it's still there.
I tried restarting it but it still thinks it's there. Sp I cannot reinstall.
I'm on Windows 8.1 x64.
Any thoughts.

No Audio File in Premiere Pro CS6

I have a Sony NX30. I use the sony media importer to get the files on my computer and then use the files in Premiere Pro CS6. Everything works fine.
I have a new desktop computer. Same windows OS. I installed the exact same sony media importer and the exact same Premiere Pro CS6. But on the new computer, when I import a video (using the sony media importer) there is no sound in Premiere Pro. Not even an audio file. Just the video file.
Here is what I learned while trouble shooting:
I can play the video files using the windows media player and I can hear the sound. The sound is there.
I tested some older video files previously imported on my old computer and they worked just fine on the new computer. I could hear the sound and there was a sound file in Pr.
The files I originally tried to import onto the new computer (that had no sound in Pr CS6) I imported on the old computer and they played just fine in Pr.
The newly imported files on the old computer will not play sound when I try them on the new computer (I put the files on an external hard drive and move them on the new computer.)
FYI: the sony media importer has no settings, you just click import amd it works.There are no options to change anything.
Anybody have a clue what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Steve

Premiere Pro CS6 Randomly Crashes During Preview

Hello,
I've searched and gone through various threads where crashing has been posted and none of the solutions have helped thus far.
There are two issues that I would encounter doing the most basic of tasks such as previewing a clip within Premiere Pro CS6:
- The preview screen will freeze and I am unable to see the video.
- The program will cause my video driver to encounter a serious problem and recover.
Here are my specifications:
Sony Vaio
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Operating System
Intel Core i5 2.40ghz
8 Gigs of Ram
ATI Radeon HD 6470m Graphics Card
The temporary solution to both that I have found effective is closing down the program, then opening task manager, ending the Adobe Premiere process and restarting Adobe Premiere. If I don't do this then the program can't be opened.
Here are some of the solutions I've implemented without any positive changes:
- Ensured display driver / graphics card is updated (ATI Radeon HD 6470m)
- Closed all other programs
- Couldn't change GPU acceleration because the video card doesn't allow it.
- Disabled Hover Scrub
I've spent a few days researching this and I'm very sorry for posting a question in regards to this issue. However, I can't seem to find the help I need from Support because their phone system is down and I can't use the ticketing system because I'm using the Adobe Creative Cloud. I would appreciate any help in advance. Thank you.

Just finished the phone call from Adobe support.
The solution to the problem is if Premiere freezes, create a new sequence and import your video into the new sequence. He didn't know the specifics of what caused the issue, but should it happen again, I'd have to just tansfer the video into a new sequence. my project has not malfunctioned in the past hour.

Export Problem (VBR, 2 Durchgänge) Premiere Pro CS6

Hallo liebe Community!
Ich habe seit einiger Zeit ein Problem beim Exportieren meiner Videos in höchster Qualität (z.B. H.264) mit Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
Bei meinen Projekten handelt es sich meistens um .MP4 Videos (Canon EOS DSLR) im Full-HD Format; 25 fps.
Bis vor einigen Monaten hat alles nahtlos funktioniert. Die Exporte hatten perfekte Qualität wie in den Settings eingestellt.
Hatte bis jetzt immer diese Optionen ausgewählt:
H.264
Auflösung sowie Framerate gleich dem Originalmaterial
Profil: Hoch
Pegel: 5.1
Bitratenkodierung: VBR, 2 Durchgänge
Zielbitrate: 100 Mbit/s
Maximale Bitrate: 100 Mbit/s
Die Box mit "Maximale Renderquaität" ist auch ausgewählt.
ERGEBNIS - FEHLER:
Der Rendervorgang dauert so lange wie gewöhnlich.
Wenn man das Video abspielt sieht man ein total verpixeltes Videos, ähnlich einem 144p Video auf YouTube.
Leider ist dieser Fehler das erste Mal bei einem wichtigen Kundenvideo aufgetreten.
Ich habe dieses Problem seit dem mit einem Qualitätsverlust umgangen. Export in Apple ProRes dann erneuter Rendervorgang mit Apple QuickTimePlayer.
Habe seitdem regelmäßig nach Lösungen gegoogelt.
Eine Art Lösung habe ich gefunden. Leider stellt mich diese nicht unbedingt auf Dauer zufrieden.
Wenn ich die Kodierung von VBR, 2 Durchgänge auf > VBR, 1 Durchgang ändere, tritt diese "Verpixelung" gar nicht auf.
Warum funktioniert diese Qualität nicht mehr mit VBR, 2 Durchgänge?
Früher hat dies immer funktioniert. Ich könnte mich nicht an irgendwelche Installationen erinnern, welche dies beeinträchtigen würden.
Bitte um Hilfe bei der Lösung dieses Problems.
Vielen Dank bereits im Voraus.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andreas

Die Box mit "Maximale Renderquaität" ist auch ausgewählt.
Eben. Völliger Quatsch. Trägt überhaupt nix zur Qualität bei und macht nur Sinn, wenn man 126bit oder 32bit After Effects Projekte rendert. Und ich würde mal behaupten, genau daher kommen die Probleme, weil dann dein Preview-Cache verwendet wird mit reduzierter Auflösung...
