Premiere Pro CS6 Wrong Media Interpretation. Quicktime, Not MPEG4

Hey so here's my issue. I can import two of the same files in different locations and hit properties in Premiere CS6, one will show the video as a Quicktime movie (with green previews and a very weird frame rate such as 0.13 fps. Where as I import one in another location that shows in the properties as a MPEG4 movie it has excellent fast previews with no issues. and the correct frame rate. Any idea how to fix this error? I have tried in the Modify>Interpret footage and there isnt an option to change the "Movie Type".
Thanks!

Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

Hello,
I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

Error during start up of Premiere Pro CS6. "... could not find any capable video play modules..."

During start up of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I get the following error message. "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again." This does not occur on After Effects, and the program runs successfully. Premiere Pro will not open, and in the start up window the last thing the status line states before the error message occurs is: "Loading ImporterQuikTime.prm"
I have added an NVidia GPU card to my system and have installed the latest video drivers from the NVidida website (GeForce 310.70). This did not help. I have QuikTime on my computer, but am not sure if it needs to be in a certain file location.
I have also gone in to BIOS after installing the GPU and disabled internal graphics, but that did not help either. Not sure what to do next. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rhoadman

Thank you everyone for the replies. Although I don't have a laptop, the following seems to work.
Solution 1
On Windows 7, right-click the shortcut to Adobe Premiere Pro, and choose Run as Administrator.
Using this method, Premiere Pro opened successfully. Using the shortcut directly, the error persists. It looks like we will just have to open the program using this method.
Many thanks for the replies.

Problems exporting mpeg 2 videos using Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder

Using a Mac, I'm trying to exporting an mpeg 2 video from Premiere Pro CS6 using the queue process that opens the Media Encoder but when the process begins, it freezes and doesn't end.

Premiere Pro error saying Media Encoder is not installed (it is)

I'm trying to export a sequence from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Media Encoder CC. After changing all the export settings to what I want in Premiere, I go to select the Queue button and receive the message "Adobe Media Encoder is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/apps". I have Media Encoder open right now. Any idea why they aren't communicating? I'm using a Macbook Pro btw.

You need AME 8.0.1 to match that version of Premiere. The most up to date for both is 8.2.0. Try clicking on help-updates in each program rather that using CC updater.

Premiere Pro CS6 stopped loading correctly - will not load new or existing projects?

It's been about a month since was last editing a project succesfully. When I try to load a new or existing projecet, I get the error message "Adobe premiere pro has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution..." But there is no solution given, it just closes. I have tried updating my NVIDIA driver with no luck. I am running on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Thanks for your reply, GautamBahl.
So I did have two graphics cards running, disabled the onboard one and still did not work.
I created a new admin account on my PC, and I am able to create a new project in Premiere now (am not able to while signed into my original account). Since all of my files and settings are on my original Windows account, I would like to get it working on that account. Do my findings give any indication as to how to fix the problem so that I am able to run Premiere signed in to my normal user account?
I appreciate the feedback!

Premiere Pro CC / Adobe Media Encode CC not using GTX980 EVGA

Generation of movies using h.264 encoding is not using GPU. Based on the logs from video card there is no usage even if the selected renderer is Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA). How can I enable its usage?

Hi mate, same here.. I can't do it work, simply.. I select GPU in Premiere and AME (gtx 970 in my PC and gt755M in my laptop, neither is working), GPU is 0% of use to do a simple video conversion.
To show that is a Adobe problem, this guy create his own exporter plugin ( SHAME ON YOU ADOBE!). With it AME work very, very fast, but i have issues too when change the video format to MP4.
NVidia GPU-accelerated H264-encoder plugin, ready for public testing
I don't know what i do. I think Nvidia and Adobe messed up very bad this feature.. Nice Adobe, i have a good GPU but i have to wait very long times (1hr videos conversion) because you guys can't do a simple exporter plugin that use GPU power.. So, stop collecting our money only and GO TO IMPLEMENT OUR NEEDS! Have a nice day.

Premiere Pro CS6 will not shut down - this has occured since installing.

Hello,
I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 and the program will not shut down normally, I have to always shut it down using the task manager. Should I try re-installing the program?

We cannot know. You are not providing any system information. Such issues are most of the time driver issues where certain DLLs are not released/ unloaded from memory.

I cannot buy premiere pro cs6

For some reason, I cannot buy premiere pro cs6. And I'm not really sure why. Did adobe stop to distribute their cs6s products? or did I do something wrong?

Since you haven't told us a single thing about what you've tried or where you looked, it's kind of hard to tell if you did something wrong.
I went to Adobe.com, clicked the Search button, and typed Premiere CS6. Two clicks later, I was here: Creative Suite 6.

Looking for computer compatible with Premiere Pro cs6

Hello everyone,
I am looking to invest in a new computer desktop that could support programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 and Photoshop cs6. I would like to go with a DELL computer if possible and I definitely need something that can support HD video editing. What would you recommend??
My budget is max 1500$. I have been looking at the Dell XPS8500 however the graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GT640) is not listed in the tech specs required for the Premiere Pro cs6 program and I'm not sure if it's strong enough to support the Adobe programs. If it's possible, I would also like to have a re-writable BR optival drive, but it's not a necessity.
I will be doing a lot of video editing (I am a film student) and I will be using video footage from my Canon 60D.
Please let me know your best suggestions and if I should build my on PC, what do I REALLY need to be able to edit videos with ease (no lagging, etc.).
Thanks!
- Jackie

On a low budget, a DIY or a custom system. For under $2K, you could put together a nice DIY system as John did.
Decent Dell and HP workstations start at $3K, and on the low end, I'd recommend HP Z420 over Dell T3600. Decent custom systems (basically DIY but put together and supported by professional integrators) also start around $3K but offer more performance for the money vs. Dells and HPs.
Like Harm, I don't think XPS8500 is a good match for CS6.
HTH.

Premiere Pro CS6 not locating media, freezing

For the last couple of days, Premiere Pro on my laptop (15" Apple Retina MacBook Pro, 12gb ram, 2.7GHz i7 - USB 3.0 Lacie drive) has been having trouble locating media. When I open a project, the "Locating Media" diologe shows the progress bar start moving, then stop and not move again. Hitting "Cancel" makes the pinwheel of patience come up. When I use the "Command + Option + ESC" command, Premiere Pro CS6 is not shown as "Not Responding". Force quitting the app and restarting the computer doesn't do anything to change this behavior.
Would appreciate any guidence on how to remedy this.

Good Day,
I am using Premiere Pro CS6 and I have been been doing metalogging for my film. I am having this issue of locating media when I changed my project over from a failing hard drive to a new one, I left the project on OVERNIGHT to locate media and its in the same spot. With such metalogging I have only been changing the names and descriptions of the files in the bin and I have a good few days work done on it. Is there any way to save the integrity of that bin without having to start an entirely new project over and start from scratch. This is most annoying.
I don't believe I have any corrupt rendered files, perhaps its a corrupted video?
Any help would be appreciated as I see no fix or announcement has come up for this problem yet.

Premiere Pro CS6: Project Panel Search Disabled When Media is Not on System Drive

Hello
I'm new to Premiere Pro CS6. It's awesome!
I have some media I use in a project that is stored on another internal hard drive. This is a secondary 1TB drive.
I started to notice pretty quickly that the Project Panel search is disabled for assets residing on this secondary drive.
As a test I linked to some media on my Macintosh HD (root drive). The Project Panel Search was available during this test.
When not available, the Project Panel Search is dimmed. No errors or other feedback.
Is there something I can do to enable Project Panel search for media which is kept off my Macintosh HD? I would prefer to keep my work files on my secondary drive.
Hardware:
MacPro (Mid 2010)
Mac OS 10.7.5
24 GB RAM
1x2TB and 1x1TB hard drives
Thanks in advance.

Hello PHA 1 ,
I had the same problem, go down to the panel below the project panel and if it is on "effects" change it to "info" or vice versa.
Magicaly your search will not be greyed out and you can type in what your looking for.
I have no idea what one has to do with the other but that is the solution for now

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. :-)
