Premiere Pro CS6 File Capture Problem

Hi all, I don't have this problem in Premiere Pro CS5, but CS6 won't capture HD video from my camera (mini DV 1080i Hdv). The error is 'Can't Activate Recorder.' Anyone have a solution?

I have got the same problem on my Canon XH A1. Video capture used to be no problem. Now it just crashes the program. It is useless. I have had to capture in Final Cut Pro and then output in a format that I can use in Premier projects. I see I'm not alone either. So this either gets fixed or I change programs. Nope, not going to CC just to see if this works either.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Video Playback Problem/Bug

I have been editing a video for the past few weeks, but recently, after I have been editing for a few minutes, all of a sudden my video won't play in the playback window. When I hit the play button (or the space bar) it does nothing - just sits there. All of the clips are rendered (with the green bar), but I cant see my changes because it doesn't play. I am even able to move the cursor along the timeline and it will show the video in the playback window, but it won't play back in real time. Like I said I have been using Premiere Pro CS6 for a while and havent had this problem until now. Also, when I drag a clip into the preview window, it doesn't play either (but I am able to move the cursor along the timeline). I have to shut down Premiere and open it up again, then it works for a few minutes again, and then the same problem occurs. Please help! The specs for my lap top are as follows: Macbook Pro Retina Display, 2.6 GHZ i7, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD

Do you ONLY have that single 500gig drive?
If yes, you are below specification... which requires a separate drive for video files
An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the
orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do
Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct
the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with
your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another
very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more on partitions) with Windows (or Mac OS)
and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is
not slowed down by trying to do everything
Do not try to use a USB2 external drive for video editing, the USB2 file transfer speed
is too slow
External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... eSata is better -

Premiere Pro CS6 Trial Download Problem

Hey I'm trying to download the trial of Premiere Pro CS6 but everytime I try downloading it, it gets to 36% and just stays there. It says "Currently Installing AdobeHelp" but it doesn't move. This also happened when I was trying to download the trial version of In Design CS6 as well. I'm running in Windows 64-bit.

Hi Trandy,
Follow the steps mentioned below and let us know if this works:
1. Close all the installation windows and navigate to Computer > Program Files(x86) > Adobe. You will have a folder name "Adobe Help". Please cut this folder and paste it on your Desktop. Do not delete this folder.
2. Now re-start the installation and check if this works.
3. If it is success, then move back the "Adobe Help" folder to the same location - Computer > Program Files(x86) > Adobe.

Jairaj

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 HDV Capture error

Since the latest update, i'm not able anymore to capture HDV with firewire link from my Canon XHA1.
MAC OSX Intel 10.7.5
When it should start capturing I get an error and Premiere CS6 goes on 'freeze'.
In CS5.5 (wich I kept installed), I don't have this error! But in CS5.5 there was no live view available.. what can be causing this error?
Help me please!!!

A cautionary tale:- I too fell foul of the Premiere Pro CS 6.0.5 update bug and kept losing my Firewire Capture. So I followed the advice here and uninstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled it from the Production Premium disc and then updated to version 6.0.2.
However, my Mac Pro has now lost all system audio - no Quicktime (”an unknown error -101”), no CD/DVD sound and the iTunes progress bar does nothing when I press play. This bug is detailed by others in Apple Discussion page https://discussions.apple.com/message/18657051#18657051. Thankfully I am still able to hear sound in Premiere through my line out so I can still edit.
I’m not sure if this bug was fixed as the last submission to the Apple discussion was dated 20 June 2012 and the ‘Branched to a New Discussion’ link at the top of the page goes to a removed page.
If an update to Premiere Pro could fix this bug (it only appears to happen when Premiere CS6 is installed) as well the loss of Capture, I would be happy.

Premiere Pro CS6 Video Startup Problem

I just updated to Premiere Pro CS6. On one of my systems it would not load because of the following error:
Adobe Premiere Pro Startup Error:
Adobe Premiere Pro could not start any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.
Here are my PC specs (not that beefy but handled CS5.5 fine):
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX (driver version 296.10)
Anyone else getting this or has a solution?

Nevermind I fixed it. If anyone has the same error, just run as administrator FTW.

Can I open and edit a Premiere Pro CS6 file with Premiere Pro CC 2014?

Can I bring a CS6 file to CC 2014 in Premiere? I know I can't move backwards, but can I move forward without any problems? Thank you!!

Audio out of sync in premiere pro cs6 after capturing

Hi, some of my footages are out of audio sync after capturing.
I have an imac with 3.4 Ghz intel i7 processor, 16gig ram, ssd card ( august 2012)
I have a sony hvr-z1 with tape.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Good morning Lynn,
I doubt this will help, but whenever I have issues importing tapes, I try
something else. I double check the software's manual because
sometimes, even if I have done the same thing several times, I add
or miss something. If that does not work I close the program and restart
the computer and camcorder and try again ... with a different tape. If
that doesn't work I use a different program. I use an old HP workstation
I paid $99 for on Ebay that's running XP and I capture with Scenalyzer.
Then I copy file to a USB drive and input to Premiere. Sorry, I figure the
problem is me, not the hardware or software and it usually is me because
when the next project comes along PP usally imports fine.

Opening Premiere Pro CS6 Files with Premiere Pro CS 4

I am wondering how it may be possible to open PP CS 6 files with CS 4. There was an earlier listing to modify some code to change Version "25" to Version "24" for v5.5. What would the number be for Version 4, if that is the
solution, or is there another method. Thanks.

I think its a no show.
CS4 is way different from CS6. For starters CS4 is 32 bits.

Problème Premiere Pro CS6 - Prévisualisations

Bonjour,
J'ai un problème de lenteur/ saccade / lague ou je ne sait quoi sur mes videos dans premiere pro cs6.
Mon probleme: Quand je souhaite visualiser une video que j'ai importé sur ma timeline, si j'appuie sur "play", 2 secondes de la vidéo, précisément, vont etre lisible de manière fluide, le reste sera très très sacadé, rempli de freezes.
Alors j'essaye une previsualisation. La barre de cache dans la timeline devient toute verte (bon signe), cependant lorsque je lis la video, meme probleme: 2 secondes chargées de maniere fluide... Et la lecture est faite en 1/4, et parfois en 1/8 (quand disponible).
Merci pour votre aide !

Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6. Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab. Also get error message when importing to bin.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television. I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this. I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer). When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message. The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them. Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu. They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file. I am aware of this form: Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?
Third- I have watched some adobe video for created the CC files within Premiere. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-closed-captions-within-premiere-pro /
However, I cannot find the "Caption" menu to do so? Where is it?
Am I running into problems because I am not on the Creative Cloud? IF so, is it possible to upgrade and how do i do that. Adobe has made it incredibly difficult to contact anybody.

Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).
bracmanf wrote:

Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.
bracmanf wrote:

In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

First, all the system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
But now, two things happen:
1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
Huh?
Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
Multiplexer Tab:
choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
Video Tab:
Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality: increase it to the max of 5
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
Render at Maximum Depth box checked
Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
Audio Tab:
Audio Format: Dolby Digital
Codec: Dolby Digital
Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
Thus the primal scream.
The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it. :-)
P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep. In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
Help. Please. :-)

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

Hi there...im running premiere pro cs6 on macbook pro 2010 with 8 gb of ram...im editing a project of hd material from a canon 5d..i got all the sound from an external recorder, all the sound is already syncronized... i need to do some cleaning on it....i got an USB fast track pro from M-audio that work well....
the problem is this : every time i have to send a clip to another aplication for the cleaning of the sound( audition with dynamic link or soundtrack pro exporting a .wav file) after a while (it can be a couple of minutes or more) i listene a clic on my headphones and the sound goes back to the speakers of the macbook pro, after that i must reconfigure again the audio hardware and audio output mapping again ( this happen almost with every clip and only between audition and premiere) anyway i started to use soundtrack pro to avoid this problem... but what is happening now is that many times after i listen the clic on the headphones or after im tryng to go back from one audio application to premiere, premiere freeze out or shhot down....
the poject is kind of big and restart premiere 3 or 4 times in an hour of job in my mac book pro its not what i call a productive hour oj job...
somebody have the same issue??
please let me know becouse im starting to get really mad...
anyway ill post also in the m- audio website to check it out over there
thanks in advance

Hu Simon...thanks for the answer but how i already writed in my post im on a macbook pro(internal audio card are out of the question)...
anyway are you suggesting that adobe doesnt work well with usb audio devices???
becouse for now i have to stick with it....
if somebody got a suggestion please let me know

Strange audio problem in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi
I have encountered a very strange problem. I am editing a documentary film in Premiere Pro. All material has been shot on the Sony FS 100 camera - imported into PP with the Media Browser. In one interview the last part of a clip has corrupted audio. At one point on the timeline the audio stops playing, and it sounds like a scratch on a vinyl record - two words repeating themselves to the end of the clip (See screenshot of timeline). The images are as they should. When I open the Avchd source clip in VLC the audio is working. When i Import the clip into Final Cut 7 using Log and Transfer the audio is working. My only other option would be that there is a software problem with Premiere Pro CS6. Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Version PP: 6.0.1
Source footage: MPEG-4 AVCHD (1080/25p - Sony FS100)
Version mac: OS x 10.8
Model Name:     Mac Pro Mid 2010
Processor Name:     Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:     2
Total Number Of Cores:     8
Memory: 20 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 570 GTX
Third-party I/O: Matrox MXO2 with Max
Mercury Playback Engine: Software mode

One similar, potential problem, that can develop, is when the Conforming process is interrupted, before it completes 100%.
A quick way to rule that out, would be to navigate to the Media Cache files, and Delete the CFA and PEK (Waveform Display) for that Clip, outside of Premiere Pro. Then, when you launch PrPro and Open your Project, the program will recreate both of those files. There is a little progress bar, that many do not notice. Let it complete 100%, before even touching the computer. Test.
I hope that it is as simple as that.
Good luck,
Hunt
