Premiere Pro is creating numerous huge temporary files

Hi,
When I am using Premiere Pro, it seems to create a new file in appdata/local/temp called Photoshop Temp 5148368 (or another random number). These files are about 20-40GB each and cause my disk to fill more or less instantly. I have Photoshop installed, but the files are still created even when Photoshop itself hasn't been run.
I've cleaned the media cache but this is a different set of files, can I stop them being created?
Thanks

Gigabyte, and there's sometimes 3 or 4 of them. By the looks of it, it creates a new file every time the app is closed/opened, but I agree there's no reason that I can see why it would be that big. The files that are being worked on are nowhere near that size. It does only seem to be recent as well, so not entirely sure if it's something that we've changed.
Thanks

  • Premiere Pro creating impossibly huge project files

    I am confused as to why Premiere Pro CS6 is creating projects files that are so enormous they either crash my computer while saving them, or when I try to open them again after closing them, they simply will not open because they are too big. I have NEVER seen Premiere Pro CS5 create a project file that was, for example, 1.75GB in size. Now, I can't even edit a two minute video without eventually losing everything because the file size becomes unmanageable.
    I thought it might be an issue with Magic Bullet Looks 2.0, as I noticed the file would grow enormously every time I added an effect to a clip. Not sure. Anyone else having this problem, with or without Looks or other otherwise 100% compatible plug-ins?

    I too am having the exact same problem, but the only effect I've been using is cross fade (both the transition effect and jut dragging the opacity down. I think it might be the drag on effect now that I'm hearing everyone else's issues. At first I had thought it might be a nesting issue (the main thing I've been using PrPro CS6 for is cutting together animatics with ref footage, so a lot of individual images laid over eachother) but that did really make sense. The odd thing I've noticed, thoug, is that it seems to be increasing by a factor of two once it really starts getting gigantic (which I can tell because I version constantly). Isn't that a bit... I don't know, odd? I mean if this is infact the case. The size where they really start to seem unwieldly is at about 250mb. I'm trying to open that file now, remove a whole bunch of the crossfades, and see if it has an effect on the file size.
    I have been nearly patient enough yet to wait for the 500m files to even re open.
    Tell me, for you guys, does the load project bar always stutter at the same place, like, right below the "Pr" in "Load Project"?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC not opening an xml file created in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014

    Hello,
    I had created a project using Adobe Premiere CC 2014 which had some minor changes, which were going to be done by my boss, who uses Premiere Pro CC. However the project file of Adobe Premiere CC 2014 was not getting opened in Premiere Pro CC giving a message of type that as this file was created in a newer version of Premiere, it cannot be opened. After searching on this forum I found that we have to convert the Premiere Pro CC 2014 project file to XML file which can be then imported onto Premiere CC. So I created a XML file by selecting File-> Export -> Final Cut Pro XML and sent it to my boss. However even the xml file is not getting opened after being imported onto Premiere Pro CC giving an error of sorts, Cannot open the file since there is a problem with the codecs.
    Have I done something wrong? Please guide me since I am a beginner to the Adobe environment and would very much appreciate any help.
    Thank you.

    Indeed..... but are they fully documented, includuing Adobe's implementation of Multicam?  
    Collapsing them should really be no more than a day or two of work for an Adobe engineer and a day of beta testing.  Seriously.  Lots of people want this - it only takes a few minutes with google to find people struggling with this exact problem.   Premiere Pro Multicam --> Resolve.
    Since we do a lot of multicam work it's something that's important to us.
    Lots of other people never go near multicam, so I guess for them it's something they really don't care about.
    I currently have > 22 hours of multicam sequences that need primary colour correction and follow on grading..... resolve would be the best choice by far. 

  • Stuck on "creating a secondary temporary file" in Disk Utility

    Hello - I am erasing free space on my Time Capsule, and it has been stuck on "creating a secondary temporary file" for over 14 hours now.  Is this normal?  If not, what can I do to safely solve the problem?  Any advice would be appreciated...thank you!

    Look in one of thse 2 locations:
    /var/root/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/
    /Volumes/YourVolume/.TemporaryItems/folders.UIDNumber/TemporaryItems/
    You can use Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder to navigate to these locations.
    You could also try using OmniDiskSweeper (free download) to find the huge files, just be careful about what you delete, as it is possible to make your system non-functional if you delete the wrong things.  The TemporaryItems stuff is safe enough to delete.  It is other huge files you might find that I worry about.

  • Premiere Pro CC will not import .mov files

    Having issues with Premiere Pro CC, I cannot import .MOV files created with my Canon 6D.
    If I try to import the files, I get a very generic "File format not supported" error msg.
    This is a new install of Premiere CC on a new computer. I was able to import them using Premiere Pro CC on the old computer.
    Quicktime will play these files fine on my new computer.
    Premiere Pro CS6 will import these files on the new computer.
    Premiere Pro CC would open them fine on my old computer.
    I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
    Here are my system details:
    OSX 10.9.3
    new Mac Pro
    3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5
    64 GB RAM
    Files are on external G-Tech Thunderbolt drive.

    That was I was thinking at first, but if Premiere CS6 (installed on the same computer) imports and plays them, they must be on the system, no?
    I really do not want to transcode. I have an existing project that uses the videos and the project on the new system will not import them or re-link to the videos. Really trying to get away from having to re-create the project and re-edit.
    Thanks!

  • Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
    Thanks

    Computer playback generally prefers square pixels.  Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
    See if that helps.

  • Need to create multiple Premiere Pro Titles out of a Text file

    Hi everyone !
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS6. I've prepared a *.txt file (plain text) with about 70 lines (each line has 5-10 words max) and I'm looking for a way to create multiple PP Titles out of it (one Title per line) but in a "batch" manner (i.e. without having to create a new title each time and copy-paste the line-text in it, etc) as I need to end up with all 70 titles in my timeline...
    Could you possiby suggest a way to do this ? Something like "importing" the *.txt file in Premiere Pro and auto-breaking it up into 70 separate titles or something ??
    Many thanks in advance guys !!

    yes, here is a direct link to the tutorial.
    has me disappointed in adobe and in the development of software in general, but yeah, i'm following this tutorial right now: https://vimeo.com/80445034
    the bummer part is -- well -- will that make the text less crisp, less clear?
    also, if we are creating a lot of slides, ideally, we would have an easy way to create clear videos of our slide presentations.
    i tried a bunch of slideshow tools and it is amazing to me how bad they are.
    anyway, i am using this gruesome but brilliant workaround right now (the ms word, indesign, premiere combo).
    as brilliant as it is to have found this kind of workaround solution -- it amazes me that adobe has such profound resources -- and these apps behave so belligerently.

  • Export in Premiere Pro 5.5 gives corrupted mp4 files when merging

    Hi everybody,
    This is my first post on the forum although I have been following different threads for a while now..
    I have an issue with the export of a project on Premiere Pro. It's a 48-min sequence: I have already exported H264 versions of the same project but it's the first time it happens to me. Basically, it's a film that I have made in French and English. I am screening both of them on big screens in a theater and I wanted to have the best quality possible.
    I exported the English version with a huge target bitrate, and got a 13Gb file of great quality. Here is a screenshot of my export settings:
    http://i.imgur.com/BRlFVUx.png
    http://i.imgur.com/5kFKCyI.png
    (this is a different project but the same settings)
    When I try to export the French version (that only differs from the English one by a track of subtitles that is NOT in this one (it's shot with French actors)): it doesn't work! What happens is that the export lasts 8 hours and works completely fine. I can see temporary files around the end of the export: they are like 12.8Gb for the video and a few Mb for the audio called "5862_2326_1664.m4v" and "5862_2326_1664.aac". But when it merges into one single mp4, it's always a reduced 4Gb or 6Gb file.. Even worse: when I try to play it, it says "Unsupported or damaged file"!
    I don't understand why this happened: The thing is that I already exported the exact same sequence many times with a lower bitrate  and it worked fine. I got 4Gb files (bitrate of 10Mbs)... Now, I have tried exporting with the same parameters 3 times: once to see if something had happened the first time but to no avail. The third time, I tried changing a few parameters in the export settings and still nothing...
    It's all the more inconvenient that it takes 8 hours every time and I need the file by next Wednesday It also blocks towards the end (when it's 98 or 99%) and says something like 213466153 hours remaining but then completes.
    Hope we can find a solution! Let me know if you need more details.
    Thanks,
    Aziz

    I don't know if this will help, but I would recommend using 1920 x 1080 with Square Pixels.

  • NEED HELP ASAP  Updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014 and now .MTS files are unsupported/unrecognized

    I Have Windows 8
    3.4 Ghz 8 Core Intel i7
    32 GB Ram
    PPCC2014
    I was using Premiere Pro CC for the last year or so and .MTS Files have worked fine.  Since I upgraded.  I can no longer use .MTS Files.
    I sync all of my footage using Plural Eyes.  I updated plural eyes so that it would work with the New Premiere Pro CC 2014 update. 
    I tried going back to Premiere Pro CC; however, that was updated as well.  It does recognize the .MTS files there, but it doesn't import the new .xml correctly created from Plural Eyes 3.5
    If anyone knows any help or workaround so I can complete my TV episode.  That would be great.
    Also, I would prefer not to have to Transcode anything.  Hours and Hours and Huge files won't really work.
    I've also looked in to Re-wrapping.  I understand Clipwrap is great for that; however, I have Windows not Mac.  Other options look way too involved.  I'd really just like my Premiere Pro to work the way it's supposed to,.
    Does Adobe Media Encoder Rewrap?
    Anyway, any ideas would be helpful.
    Thanks

    Thank You, Thank You!!!!   That worked.  I had to "Link Media"  to the new file path, after I renamed the parent folder; however, it's working!!!!  Hopefully there will be a fix for that soon!

  • Premiere Pro CS6: No sound importing .mts files

    Hey,
    My Setup:
    - Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
    - Windows 7 x64
    My Problem:
    I bought a DLSM (Panasonic Lumix G6H) and recorded five hours of footage using AVCHD 50p. I imported the .mts files into Premiere and got no sound at all. Whenever I open the .mts with VLC or WMP there is sound.
    I spent numerous hours trying to find a solution for this problem, but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
    At this point I'm quite frustrated, I NEVER create accounts to ask questions, because usually they are answered - but this time i couldnt manage to overcome this issue.
    I already tried:
    1) Copy the entire folder structure - didnt work
    2) Rename the .mts to .m2ts - didnt work
    3) Using the Media-Browser when importing the files - didnt work
    4) Rename it to .avi - didnt work
    5) Downloaded "Any Video Converter" as my last resort.. there is no option for 50p .m2ts (which might work) - not satisfying

  • Premiere Pro CS4 does not handle AVCHD Files well.

    Loaded the master collection of CS4 when it first came out.  I had purchased CS4 for the AVCHD file format.  I had no problems using Premiere Pro until I ugraded to version 4.0.1 in March of this year then all AVCHD file selections dissappeared.  Hence, I could not create new AVCHD projects and the existing projects did not fuction properly.  I have been through a series of uninstalls (and deactivations) and reinstalls.  Reinstalls did not work.   Had to delete by renaming the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\7e74552a59eaf9fafd13f90894ac9bd to get the reinstall to work.  I have also used Windows Install Clean Up to remove all Adobe CS4 files that the windows "Add or Rmove Programs" did not remove.  When I did get the reinstall to work, Premiere Pro would work for awhile then became slow to the point the project became unusable.  Tried the all upgrades again and again the selection of AVCHD files dissappeared.  I do not need the AVCHD Intra capability.  The last uninstall I just uninstalled Premiere.  I could not reinstall Premiere until I uninstalled the entire master collection than the reinstall of just Premiere succeeded.  Premiere was totally unusuable.
    Has anyone had similiar issues with Premiere Pro and AVCHD files and were you able to resolve the problem?  I am considering removing all Adobe products, including past versions and trying the reinstall again, or create another profile and install just the Adobe products, or - the last resort - reformating my hard drive and starting over again.   I would like to get Premiere Pro working again properly before reformating.
    Previous versions of Adobe have worked with no problems.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 does not import EX1 files longer than 1 hour

    I had to record a long speech and used a Sony XDCAM HD EX1 camera with a 32 Gb and a 16 Gb SXS cards. The speaker paused after 1h 26 min. I stopped the recording and waited until the green light that allows recording the segment came on. Later I recored smaller segments.
    I copied all the recorded files to the PC hard disk ( Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz with 3.25 GB RAM with XP Proofessional SP3).
    I used Sony Clip browser to watch the clips and all of them were perfect. Then I opened premiere Pro CS4 4.21 and I wanted to import this 27 GB file. In the media browser appeared only one mp4 file. All the short ones where imported normally but the big one freezed premiere and the only way to close premiere was with the windows task manager.
    I checked again in the Sony XDCAM clip browser version 2.6 and you can see it perfectly. There was a detail, though: in the lower part of the preview window I saw 6 marks. When I checked the file in the disk, I found that the 27 Gb file was separated in 7 parts. Each of them was 3.51 Gb and the last one 2.5 Gb. That means that the file was cut in pieces that were less than 4Gb supposed max file lenght.
    I tried many ways to import and no result. The I used the "export " of the sony clip browser. There is one choice that is "MXF for XDCAM HD". When I chose this item another panel appeared and showed a 1440 X 180 59.94i 25Mbps choice. I took it and after some time it created the 27 Gb file that I could import it normally with 4 audio tracks. But there is a drawback a "media concept" logo appeared to remeber to "buy" the program.
    Anyhow, the question is: How can I import to Premiere CS4 a MP4 file created by a Sony EX1 HD camera whose lenght is more that 1 hour long ?
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    I think  is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
    "My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

  • Using WMV in Premiere Pro and dealing with huge idle processes

    Ok, I'm not sure if these two issues are related but here goes.
    I am a training developer, and a lot of what I do is editing screen captures. I have Production Premium that I use to edit my screen captures. The screen captures I get using the free Microsoft Expression Encoder, which encodes into high-quality WMV.
    These videos import fine into Premeire, but my machine slows to a crawl when I try to use them. I am a recent import from FCP, and I know that there, I delt with the same issue until I started converting to ProRes.
    Now, I know Adobe doesn't have a standard format, but is there another format that I could/should use that would help me.
    Perhaps unrelated, but I'm also noticing that, even when I close Premiere, I still have often huge processes running in the background. The premeire pro process sometimes is running at a hundred MB (100,000k) when the program is supposed to be closed (it also runs at a GB of memory when open but idle).
    I have a new and fairly fast machine, and am not sure why I'm having these slowdown issues.
    I'm running:
    Production Premium CS5.5 on Windows 7 (64 bit)
    8GB RAM
    Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4 GHz
    AMD RADEON HD 6350
    Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions to any of this, from setup changes to better formats to transcode into, I'm all ears.
    Thanks!!

    I'm not sure what is eating up your system resources, but .wmv files
    are considered to be a delivery format, and are not ideal for editing.
    I have never tried to edit screen capture video from any source, but you might consider
    upgrading to Expression Encoder 4 Pro (with codecs)... at least it includes H.264.

  • 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.  :-)
