Premiere Pro CS6 - Mp4 Error. Green Previews

Hey, So i'm using Premiere Pro CS6 currently.
My issue is when I import a .h26 MP4 file either A, the file will show but keeps saying media pending, or B (the more common one) will show a pure green preview through the whole clip.... when I go into the properties of the clip it shows a weird error where it shows the frame rate a 0.139 FPS. Yet the footage is 23.976 fps, and when put into the time line it is the correct length at this 0.139 fps, I tried changing the frame rate manually to 23.967 and it shrunk the clip to under a second, Its strange when I work in AE the footage shows fine yet as soon as its in Premiere Pro it greens out. I never had this issue until a few weeks ago. We were working on a large movie and I had a month or so off work so I didn't touch Premiere or the files, I have verified the file locations as well and tried re linking them but it still shows the green error.  As well I know it is only the .H264 codec as I can import a video with an mpeg4 codec with no issues... I have tried re installing Premiere but still no fix.. the strange thing is to if I export in AME only it doesn't show the green, yet out of premiere through the export dialog it shows the green in the exported video yet has all the audio of that clip...As well I never have had this issue before..I could always import .h26 MP4's with no issue up until now.
Any suggestions?

Other people with "green frames" solved their issue by updating GPU drivers. Can you try that?
You say you are working on a movie. What is the camera these files were shot on?
Do sequence settings match clips settings precisely?
You say you never had this issue before a few weeks ago. Did you make any updates to Premiere Pro? Your OS?
Thanks,
Kevin

  • 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.

    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 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. 

  • Premiere Pro CS6 "startup error" because of no "capable video play module."

    Hi,
    I need to edit some native 3D video and burn a Blu-ray of it, but cannot run a trial version of Premiere Pro CS6 on a brand new HP DV7-6b78us laptop because I get a prompt that says "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play module.  Please update your video display drivers and start again."  However the video drivers for the Radeon video card are the most current according to HP (and Radeon).  So is there anything I can do or is this laptop unable to run Premiere Pro CS6?   Or is there a previous version of Premiere Pro that might work instead?  Thanks.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 not loading/linking preview files - any suggestions?

    MacPro 2010, 16-core, 2.66 GHz, 32GB RAM, Quadro 4000, OS X 10.7.4
    When I save a Project and then reopen it, Premiere Pro CS 6.01 does not load the Preview Files from the Renders.  I have checked the specified Preview Files location and the files are there.
    In order to work, I must render the entire Project again - which is too time-consuming and counter-productive.
    Am I doing something wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Same problem. I've done many projects in CS6 and this is the first time it's happened. FIrst half of the timeline was fine but the second half of the timeline, that was previously fully rendered, couldn't locate the preveiw files. The preview files are still in the preview folder but it doesn't see them in the timeline anymore. How do you delete those preview files since they are no longer recognized in the timeline? I know you can manually delete them in the preview folder by playing them and matching them to the video clips in the timeline.

  • Converted .avi to .mp4 for Premiere Pro CS6 but receive a header error.. help?

    When I imported .avi video file into Premiere Pro CS6, only the audio played. I used VLC to convert the .avi file to .mp4 through a batch file. Now when I try to open the .mp4 file into Premiere Pro CS6, I receive an error "File cannot be opened because of a header error".
    I've tried converting the .avi file to .mov and .wav but they receive the same header error.
    I've also tried opening in Audition and resaving it as .wav pc but it still won't import to Premiere.

    First, depending on what is inside the AVI file, it should/might be "naturally" supported by Premiere

  • 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).

    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.

    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.

  • 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

    I encountered a similar problem.  I had quicktime files that would play in the quicktime player from the desktop, but wouldn't import the files "the file has no audio or video streams".  I had just reinstalled quicktime, and Premier with no change.  Finally realized that we had Barracuda protection that was at fault.  It was preventing communication to the quicktime codec and thus Premier could not interpret the footage.  Another symptom, I would also launch After Effects and it would tell me that quicktime wasn't installed.
    I solved this by uninstalling Barracuda.  We reported the fault to Barracuda, and have not seen any change in the software.
