Premiere Pro CS6 Positives...

Can people chime in about their positive experiences with Premiere CS6?
More things on this forum are negative rather then positive understanding that this is where people come for solutions to their problems.
I am getting ready to install CS6 but wanted to hear if people are actually completing projects with CS6 or are they spending to much time chasing bugs?  My workflow at the moment is more HDV based but would like to hear ALL positive experiences.  Does the HDV workflow have any issues?
Thanks!

People who have no problems usually don't post here,  since they have no reason to ask for a solution to a problem they dont have. Well there are exceptions like myself. But in general that rule is valid.
However, those that post here with a problem they want a solution for, are usually:
MAC users. Mostly because they have to grow accustomed to native editing instead of ProRes or QT intermediates, or because of lacking technical expertise. MAC users are accustomed to plug in the wall outlet and everything works.
Users that lack the expertise to use a pro application, because they do not understand the basics of video editing, codecs, workflow and make OE's all the time.
Users that are looking for feature improvements.
Users that have found a bug, or what they percieve to be a bug.
It seems that MAC users have more problems than Windows users, but that may be related to point 1.
Windows users seem to have less problems, but realize that Windows users are usually people who have upgraded, and thus had prior experience, while MAC users may well be new converts who need to get used to a different workflow than FCP.
The last two categories are the most interesting, but even with the flurry of new posts, as happens everytime when a new version is released, I think that 99% of the discussions in the last month belong in the first two categories. From what I'm reading here, the CS6 release is stable, almost trouble free (as far as any program can be bug free) and a huge improvement over CS5.x.
I have no gripes or bugs that stop or hinder me while working with CS6. I do have some concerns about performance, but nothing major. I have some feature requests, but again nothing major. I appreciate the added functionality, especially with HDV material where it no longer is required to turn off MPE to preview and export over firewire. It now works with hardware MPE on.

  • QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

    I am doing screen recordings with QuickTime 10.1 that appear to be of good quality until I import into Premiere Pro CS6 and then they display and export very poorly and very blurry to the point that you can't read the text on the page. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

    Hi Kristine,
    Make sure that the clips are positioned on the X,Y axis as whole integers, not integers + decimal points. See if that works for you.

  • 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. 

  • CC wont let me re-download premiere pro CS6! HELP!!

    Hello all,
    So i previously had all of the CS6 Family installed on my computer. Something went wrong with Adobe Encore and it wouldnt open so i uninstalled Premiere Pro and Encore CS6.
    After un-installing i restarted my computer and opened Creative Cloud.
    When looking in the find new apps section to re-download Premiere Pro CS6 i could not find it. I filtered the search and selected previous versions but the only apps it says it has in previous versions in are Bridge, Edge Animate and Gaming SDK.
    I checked in the my apps section to double check it was definitely un-installed. I can see Premiere Pro CC but CS6 is not showing up anywhere!
    Ive tried looking for other links on the adobe website but it just gives me the option to buy a subscription (which i have already payed for) or download the trial.
    Ive looked endlessly on forums for a solution but no joy so far.
    I desperately need to get to the bottom of this as i need Adobe Encore for work.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    Hi,
    Please uninstall your creative cloud desktop app and re-download it from the below link:-
    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop
    and then follow the same steps that you have been following.
    Hope that works for you.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - Project frame won't retain its layout or location between opening and closing?

    I filed this as a bug, but perhaps I'm thinking through this wrong and would like to seek help.
    I'm finding that the Project frame in Premiere Pro CS6 does not retain its layout between opening and closings.
    Here's what I do:
    1) Open a project.
    2) Create several bins and populate them with media. Expand the contents of a bin by clicking the disclosure triangle to the left of the folder.
    3) Undock the Project frame only.
    4) Close the Project frame with Command-W
    5) Use ****-1 to reopen the Project frame.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5. The result is that the Project frame does not remember which bin was open. Furstratingly, it also does not retain which bins were expanded or collapsed.
    And worst of all, it will also open in random areas of the screen. (The expected result is that it would reopen in the same spot of the desktop where you last closed it, no?)
    I'm a big organizer -- tons of footage across many different bins. I open bins, close them, keep some open, close others... easily dozens or hundreds of times during an edit session. I'm beginnging to feel like I'm swatting flies or playing whack-a-mole just to get my bin views correct!
    Or mm I approaching this wrong?

    But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
    Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)

  • How can I re touch the model in Premiere PRO CS6?

    Hello !
    I am using Premiere Pro CS6. We are shooting a documentary where i have the host who some pimples, moles etc.
    So How can i retouch it and make perfect ?

    Welcome to the forum.
    One possible treatment, within PrPro would be to do a Track Matte Key, where a little bit of Blur is added. Once, there was a great tutorial on softening blemishes in skin tone, but it is no longer.
    This article covers some of the high-points of the process. The success, and handwork, will depend on how much the host moves about: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575874#4575874
    Because so much can be Keyframed, and limited via Track Matte Keying, one is limited only by their imagination. I would first Duplicate the Clip, add a bit of Blur to that Duplicate, then limit that Blur to just the facial areas with a Track Matte.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - Beyond that, there are some neat tools in After Effects, that go beyond.

  • Premiere Pro cs6 - Workspace video pane remains blank when trying to view imported files

    Hello,
    I'm currently working in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When I import my media into my workspace and drag it onto the timeline, the preview box where you can review your cut video remains black. Double clicking on the imported file gives the same result. I was initially importing .jpg files (about 300kb size for each) so I tried importing various other image formats - .png, .tiff, etc... I have even imported a movie file into my scene to determine whether the issue was with my content format. With the video, the audio plays fine, but the video remains blank in the preview box. I have tried rendering my workspace and changing my initial project settings, but to no avail. I went into my preferences for Premiere and from what I can determine, everything looks fine.
    I'm running the software on an HP Pavilion, Windows 7 intel i7, 8gb ram, with a nvidia 650M 2GB card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you tried to change your Video Renderer? It would be under Project > Project Settings > General. Switch the option to Mercury Playback Engine software only and see if it helps.
    Thanks,

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    I'm a new user and learning, I bought and installed Premiere Pro cs6.  I got a nice video clip but has a baby cried in the background and very annoying.  I have tried all of the sounds in Prem cs6 but didn't work. My question is, do I need to get a separate sound software download and install to be able to use it?

    In the CS versions, there was some audio capability in PrPro but you needed to get a separate audio program for major work. Lessening a baby definitely qualifies as major work. That's lessening, i dont mean eliminating. Adobe's audio program is Audition. There are others "out there'. In the CC versions one just downloads Audution also.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Cannot install Premiere Pro CS6 and Prelude - Losing my mind

    I've been trying for 3 days to find a solution to this problem. I know a lot of other people have had this problem but the solutions all seem different based on the interpretation of the summary report generated by the installer. I've tried dealing with Customer Support over the phone and they have absolutely no idea how to fix this. I've downloaded and installed the CS6 Production Premium. All apps install successfully except for Premiere Pro and Prelude. One option I read was to remove a few Adobe fonts (which I tried) and the problem still exists. Adobe Suport suggested uninstalling then reinstalling Air. Tried it and things still aren't working. I even tried installing in Safe Mode. I'm on a Mac running 10.6.8

    Hi Mylenium. Yes it's me. I didn't want to pull Steve into this just yet hoping that there was an easier solution. I've gone 2 rounds now with Tech Support. The last advice they gave me was to uninstall all Adobe applications from my system, delete all the files that don't get removed when uninstalling (they gave me a whole list), run the Cleaner Tool, log in as the Root user and run the installer again. The same error came up so I'm starting to think that the problem may be more than an Adobe issue. Support told me to call back if the last solution didn't work and they would "send me to the next level". What a pain....

    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.  :-)
