Premiere Pro integration, setting variables

Hi,  I have a After Effects project (CS6) and it seems to have a varable (when I click on text in preview windows the words turn to a what looks like a varable name starting in ?).  Two questions.
1) How do I change the value of the varable in AE?
2) If I import the project into Premiere Pro can I set varanle form PP?
Did some googeling and looked in forum and no luck.
Regards,
Ben

Thanks, I worked out how to do it in AE, I right clicked of Source Text and selected Edit.
Font did exist, all working now.  Shame you cant pass varables from PP to AE, that would make AE components extreamly reusable.

  • Can't open Premiere Pro after set-up

    After a successful download of Premiere Pro CS5.5, I clicked on the Set-up app under the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 Functional Content folder, followed the instructions, finished the set-up with no problems. Now I can't figure out how to run the program. I have a feeling the answer may be fairly obvious, warranting a facepalm after all is said and done, but my one month old son has kept me sleep deprived and rendered me a terrrible problem solver lately.
    I have restarted the computer, but I only see the same folder on my desktop named "Premiere Pro Family Content Installers," with all of the same folders and files that were available before I clicked Set-up. Could it be saved to a different drive that I haven't found yet? I checked on my C: drive in program files, but I only find the Presets folder, with Styles, Templates and Textures files available. I just want to run the program itself. Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Graham

  • Premiere Pro CC- Setting Out point sets 5 frames ahead of the cursor?

    may have accidentally set Premiere Pro so that every out point I set, it advances 5 frames ahead, making it very frustrating to make cuts at precise points. There is now a dashed orange line next to the cursor.
    I can't find the setting to disable this. Any ideas?
    Here is an example of what it looks like in the timeline:

    I am using a Mac, and too am having this same issue.  It just started earlier today, and after retreacing my steps, cannot figute out what activated this annoying, not to mention ridiculous, 'feature'.  Could anyone from Adobe please chime in on how to remove this?  Thank You.

  • Huge Bugs with Many Legs Still Living in Premiere Pro - (Border from Sharpening & Flickering from Adjustment Layer)

    I haven't edited video in awhile.  While working on a new project I've run into a bunch of what I suppose are well known issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014.  It seems Adobe has know about these issues for some time, but that for some reason, nothing is being done about them.  Here is my most recent experience with editing a video using PP:
    1. Found that color correction tools in Premiere Pro for setting White Balance Suck for folks who don't edit video 8 hours a day.
    Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: White Balance in Premiere Pro CC on Vimeo
    The dude shows you how to use the Cyroce Color Neutralizer plugin from After Effects - but sure enough the current version of the plugin that ships with AE CC 2014 doesn't work with premiere any more so you have to download the old version from dude's website here:  http://www.sternfx.com/tutorials/136
    Thanks to the DUDE!
    2. Found out that adding an Adjustment layer can cause flickering in footage.
    Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: PP CC 2014 - adjustment layers flickering problem : Adobe Premiere Pro  AND  Re: image flickering from adjustment layer
    Added mask to control flickering.  More specifically, I turned each effect in the adjustment layer on and off until I found the particular effect that was causing the flickering.  Then I created a mask in that effect which covered the entire frame.  Mystically the flickering disappeared.  Learned that if you make any changes to adjustment layer effects, flickering will return and you have to delete/recreate the mask once again. Ridiculous.
    3. Thought all was good and that I could now peacefully continue to finish my project.  I was wrong.  Found that adding sharpening in adjustment layer causes a small border to form around the entire frame.  The pixels seem faded or translucent or something.
    Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution:  Sharpening bug Premiere Pro - - Fourmedia
    So now I've learned that the sharpening effect needs to go on it's own adjustment layer.  Awesome.
    Flickering returns because I made a change to adjustment layer 1.  Re-mask.  Sweet.
    That's it.  Pretty sure this post will help folks out, but man I am going to run out and give another NLE a shot.  None of these operations should be this difficult.  Makes me wonder if Adobe even attempts to use their own programs.  I don't see how anyone could possibly let a huge tool like Premiere Pro suffer from these issues -- and for so long a period of time.  Absolutely ridiculous.  Adobe truly seems to be asleep at the wheel.  This is some amateur crap here.

    Thanks for this post. It would be cool (since Adobe doesn't seem to use their products) if there were more posts like this that I could read before I upgrade. I'm having the flickering w adjustment layer problem you mentioned in #2 - and this post is over month old! Aghh

  • Premiere Pro CS6 will not install after uninstalling it?

    I was having a problem with Red Giant's Mojo plugin. Their preset would not show up in Premiere Pro CS6. The Red Giant tech told me to reinstall PPro. So I did the uninstall thing and now when I click to install PPro, nothing happens. I did things like restarts and repaired permissions, but nothing helps.Any ideas?
    Mac Pro 1,1 - Lion 10.7.5

    This is how I solved the problem:
    Been on the chat with Red Giant. They could not fix the problem. They told me to re-install Premiere Pro. That didn't help. The presets still did not show up. The Mojo preset file would not import. So what I did was, since the Mojo presets do show up in After Effects, I applied each preset to a clip. Took a screenshot of each one of the slider of where they were set in the effects control panel. Then went back to Premiere Pro, manually set the sliders for each preset that I made screenshots of. After each one I set, I did a save preset. Made a new bin and put all nine preset in the bin. It was a little time consuming but it got the job done.
    Hope this helps.

  • Jumpy video render in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hey guys, I'm very new to the editing world of premiere and after effects and I have run into a couple of issues. Any advice would be helpful thanks! Here's what going on:
    I capture videos every weekend on 4 cameras (Canon XH A1s) in 1080i into Premiere Pro CS5 using the live capture feature onto a Mac pro with 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ram and two 1 terabyte (spelling) hard drives with a ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024mb and a black magic capture card. I have the new OS Lion. I am taking that captured video and color correcting it in Premiere Pro for now and experimenting with After Effects. The sequence in Premiere Pro is set to 1440x1080p and I am trying to render out the video using H.264/Vimeo HD settings or 1280x720 29.97 fps/ de-interlaced with audio AAC 320, VBR 1 pass, target bitrate at 5 and max at 7.
    Now along with the live capture I have in the timeline I also have another live capture video and some mastered audio files that I had to sync up with the live video. Also, there is a short 30 second video that was exported previously using the same settings.
    After getting all of this ready, I exported the video using the above H.264 settings. The rendered video is just over 2GB and 50 minutes long. The final product is jumping terribly every second of the video. I've tried rendering it out in Vimeo HD settings and just 1280x720 at 29.97 fps with high audio settings. Each time I've gotten the same results. ANY SUGGESTIONS????

    > The final product is jumping terribly every second of the video.
    What exactly do you mean by this? Is the video moving vertically upward once every second? Is the video stuttering in playback once every second? I'm just not clear on what you mean by "jumping terribly every second".
    Does this problem only happen with a specific output type or in a specific player, or does it happen when you export to another format or play the result in a different player?
    What exact version are you using? Have you installed the most recent updates?

  • Premiere Pro CC and Canon Log

    I appear to have a very unique issue which Canon can't understand why it's happening. Their suggestion is Adobe is doing something to the clips. However, the Avid treats them the same.
    In the example I shot a clip in Log. Using XF Utility I can view the clip and use the LUT Assist button to see the original Log and then see it with the Canon LUT. This is as expected. However, when I export/merge the MXF's or even if I import directly into Premiere from the Card bypassing the XF Utility the clips come in saturated as if there is an "Auto-Lut" being applied.
    Anyone experience this issue. I've only noticed it on the C300. I can bring 1DC Clog files in and as expected they are log. It's not the camera either as I have tried 2 of our 4 C300's.
    EDIT:
    Also Speedgrade treats the clips the same as Premiere and the Avid treats it the same. Could it be a combo of recording settings? For example in this case it was the EOS Std. Matrix in a Canon Log Gamma.

    There is a very definite bug in the Adobe Media Encoder engine which is used in both Premiere Pro and After Effects.  H.264 exports seem to randomly choose their own export quality, using 2-pass VBR.  I have found with some DV-size exports on 'match quality' in Premiere Pro, that setting the export above 10Mbps pushes the quality down to well under 1Mbps, e.g. 167kbps.  I've found that using the default min 6, max 8 seems to work the best.  I've worked with this on two different machines and fiddled with it extensively and this is definitely NOT an intended 'feature'.  In fact, I have found that exporting from the same sequence, if I select the first 20 seconds, I get very low bitrate, but if I select 30 seconds or more, I get the higher bitrate that I want!  And I tend to get different results when I enable and disable 'use previews'.
    I am also having some trouble with missing frames when exporting progressive animation files to h.264 mp4 files that never occured before.  Not sure yet if this is related to the same issue, but interestingly, I don't get the 'blinking' missing frames issue when the bitrate drops itself down to a very low 150-200kbps.  When I do get the export rate up higher, then the missing frames on just this animation clip return.
    So, after my tests, here is a screen capture of sample export settings (yes, 15Mbps is a very high bitrate for DV, but the same happens at 6Mbps or 7 or whatever I try in some cases):
    This gave me a 1.5MB file with a reported 167kbps bitrate and a quality level as shown below:
    A currently working 'workaround' is to use 1-pass VBR which gives me a crisp, clean 5.5MB file.  Would a few others please try to reproduce this so we can get it escalated to bug status?  I'll report it if you can confirm it there, this is happening on two computers here.
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Premiere Pro CC and Encore CC are ignoring the Target and Maximum Bitrates

    Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Encore CC are ignoring the Target and Maximum Bitrates settings in the export window, The files that are exported are much smaller than what the estimated size of the file should be shown in the export window and are highly compressed. What can cause such an issue?
    I haven't drastically changed my presets.

  • Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

    When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
    Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
    My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
    I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap". 
    For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
    Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
    Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
    Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
    So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
    Thank you!

    Here is the solution:  Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
    Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
    shooternz wrote:
    Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
    Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.

  • How do I set custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5 sequence.

    I need to set a custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5.
    I can't edit a preset so how do I create my own?

    If you realy feel 'lazy' or have no idea what settings to choose you can drag the clip the into the New Item icon. This will create a matching sequence.

  • How do I set poster frame in Premiere Pro?

    Does anyone know how to set poster frame in Premiere Pro? Wasted hours trying to figure this out and reading all forum threads and sadly still to no avail. Any help much appreciated.

    thanks at JSS1138 for this and that appears to enable me to select 'set poster frame' (albeit it not on static images). However, when I export the video the (supposedly now) set poster frame still does not appear as the preview image. Any ideas on this?

  • Integration of other Adobe products..Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD

    Prior to obtaining CS2 I have been working with the other video/audio Adobe tools; Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD.
    I fully expected to see integration of these products into the Bridge application after CS2 installation. I was disappointed, there does not appear to be any such integration. I do hope that this is in plan, and that I don't have to spend an "upgrade" fee to use integration that should have been there to begin with.
    Even if there is no further integration, it would be nice to be able to continue using the Bridge as my "file manager" in the event I have to transfer my CS2 activation to another computer; after all I still have 4 licensed Adobe products installed on the machine, even if there not, quote, CS2 applications.

    I can't use Bridge with my video products anymore. I have 3 systems in my personal development environment. I am now past the 30 day period before activation of CS2 is required on my video editing machine. Now I am no longer able to use Adobe Bridge with my other Adobe (video) products.
    Also, now I've noticed that the next level of video products is available, they now have Bridge integrated. As I anticipated in my first append, I cannot continue using Bridge with my Adobe video products unless I spend more money for an upgrade. If the intention is to have Bridge become an integral tool in the creative process, this policy is short sighted. It can't be that difficult to bring out an update for the CS2 level of bridge that would enable it to work with users that have AE 6.5 or PPro 1.5 installed.

  • Good Premiere pro Cs5.5 Video Editing Computer Set Up For Under $3000

    Hey everyone im hopeing to hear for Harm Millaard input on this and anyone elses who understands PC computers for video editing. I need to build a computer set up for my specific needs. I am a youtuber who makes videos for a living and I need a speedy computer for editing primarily in premiere pro CS5.5 and sometimes in After effects. I use magic bullet 2.0 color grading in almost all my videos so that slows my computer down alot. The current computer I have now shuts off when ever it runs to much stuff and gives me the BSOD so its extreemly fusterating because editing something small can take me all day because of the constent shutting off. Mostly does BSOD when I uses Magic Bullet 2.0 I shoot with DSLR footage but once in a while it will happen out of the blue when running alot of things but mostly when exporting. I need a list of specs that will all work together to give a perfect workflow for my needs and I also would like advice on what Raid because I dont fully understand it as well as what back up drives etc should I have. I plan of buying the specs and having someone build it for me and set up raid etc that knows how to do all that. In case some of you wonder what type of computer I have now these are the specs if you need more information on what I have in my computer ask exactly what info you want to me to tell you and ill look it up.
    If you have advice on specs I dont have to re-buy that I could take out of this computer to save money then that would be better as well. I currently have no back up external drives as well so Idk what I should buy for that as well. Thank you all for your time a head of time!

    Well!!!!.....where do I start??  You must spend some time here reading all the valuable info that has been presented and discussed many times here. Basically, PPro is a very demanding , PROFESSIONAL program that needs beefy and SPECIFIC hardware to run properly.
        AMD CPU will not cut it.....it lacks the necessary instruction set that Intel has that apply to video processing.
    You need a fast Intel i7 CPU for starters.
    You do not mention video card.....NVidia CUDA card of over 1GB video memory is required to enable the "Mercury PlaybackEngine", which provides a TEN TIMES INCREASE  in rendering speed of previews.....not to mention accelerating the export process by handling some specific effects during export.
         Some DSLR codecs,( like Canon MOVs) cause PPro....which is a 64bit program..... to open the 32 bit " Quick time Importer" process, ( as Quick Time is 32 bit), slowing down the process, even with good hardware. Editing highly compressed consumer codecs,( AVCHD,etc.) in real time ,then exporting can be very taxing on a computer, requiring top -notch components. Even if you do it the old way and transcode to a more edit friendly codec before editing.....you would then need a larger,faster disk system to handle the huge files at a high speed!!!
    16GB system memory is OK for 5.5.....with 6 and later, 32GB is better.
    Two separate hard drives are the required minimum for PPro......currently, the best performing and cheapest setup would be : C drive=  120GB quality SSD, D drive = 2x 7200 RPM HDDs in onboard RAID 0 for pagefile,previews, and all cache files.  E drive= same setup as "D", for media,project files, and export.  F drive =  large 7200 rpm disk for necessary backup of important files and backup of "D" drive. All drives should "indexing" and" compression" turned OFF,( under drive Properties window).
    Less expensive would be just three separate 7200 RPM HDDs...that could be OK with just DSLR footage which is so compressed that it requires less actual MB/sec., unless you are using many tracks of video, upping the requirement needed.
    Read the many posts and articles by Harm Millard and Bill Gehrke....they have contributed a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience to the readers.....preventing many from making bad purchases and expensive mistakes when trying to construct a machine that will perform well....their website, PPBM5 is invaluable as it can show you all the video benchmark results of differently configured machines. It is a good guide as to what you may want to build,or, purchase.....Good Luck!!

  • Setting timecode manually doesn't save in Premiere Pro CC

    Hi, When I set the timecode of a clip manually (by clicking clip, modify, timecode) in Premiere Pro CC, everything works well until I quit out of Premiere Pro. When I quit and open the project again, the timecode has reverted back to the originaly timecode of the clip and my modifications were not saved. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks so much!

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, even after restoring to default preferences, I still have the problem.
    It's Premiere Pro CC 7.0.0.
    Sorry for the delay in my response-- wasn't able to get to a computer until now.
    Thanks so much for any other advice you may have.
