Premiere Pro not capturing all material

We are capturing live video from a Vaddio system mixer through a Matrox MX02 mini into Premiere on a Macbook Pro. Probably 4 of the last 12 video sessions we recorded came up short in Pr. Most of our sessions end up around 70-80 minutes and we might end up capturing 40-45 minutes of it. The time signature is still running when we finish and we are seeing the live image in the capture window. So, we know it is getting to the computer. After stopping the live capture and naming the file it proceeds to build audio peaks. Why is it dropping the last 20-30 minutes of our live capture?
Changed the title to be more clear. Message was edited by: Kevin Monahan

Kevin,
Thanks for your assistance. The HDD on my Macbook Pro is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with 188 GB of available space.
We record live mainly because that is how our system was designed and set up. We use a pair of Vaddio PTZ robotic cameras permanently mounted and run through a Vaddio mixer. Those cameras don't have hard drives on them.
The nature of the sessions we record (Bible teachings) don't require much editing since it is done live. We pretty much have a finished product when we finish the session instead of having hours of editing to do when it is over.
It is just puzzling to me that we watch the whole session as it is being recorded through the capture window in Premiere Pro (since we use that as our record monitor) yet it only saves a portion of it. I certainly hope you have some ideas that could help. Thanks,
Brent

Premiere Pro CC Capturing All Files as MP3

I have Premiere Pro CC My capture files are being imported as mp3 files. I have a macbook pro which I am having problems with and I have access to an IMac and the IMac with the same Premiere Pro CC software gives me zero problems. I'm not sure what else to change because simply changing the file name to mpeg or I saw online about an m2ts (I copied it right when I did it) file but that didn't work either. Any suggestions??

Please see this link for possible solutions:

Also, others have found success changing the mp3 files extension from .mp3 to .mpeg or m2ts.

Premiere pro not opening xml files

Hi Everyone,
We are transitioning from Final Cut Pro 7 into Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I have exported all my FCP projects as XML Files. I saved the XML files to an external harddrive that I am using to import files into PP on a PC. When I imported the XML files into PP, I was not able to access any files at all in the project. After looking online for answers, it occurred to me that I would need to backup all the source files along with the XML files.
I am in the process of identifying those source files and copying them to the external harddrive that i will be using to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro. The previous videographer did a shoddy job of organizing files, and I am noticing that some projects and their related scratch disks are often in different locations (different Harddrives, some on the original Mac harddrive). In an effort to keep to make our transition to Premiere Pro as painless as possible, I am backing up all NLE related files (render files, capture scratches, source media files, etc) onto one Harddrive. Is this all necessary?
Is there any blog or article online that i can reference on how to transition from FCP7 to Premiere Pro that addresses source material that is spread out on many storage devices?

Not really, Just know that in FCP, you can move media to a single location using the Media Manager. Once media is moved, a FCP XML file will point to that that drive when opened in Premiere Pro.
Hope that helps,

Adding metadata in Prelude but Premiere Pro not retaining it after closing

While in Prelude in CC, I'm adding metadata in the Dynamic Media list; i.e., Scene, Shot Name, Shot Number.... I save the clips after each update and send it over to Premiere Pro by highlighting all the clips. It arrives in Premiere Pro with the info attached and visible on the clip and in the metadata. I save Premiere Pro and Prelude and when i reopen Premiere Pro there's no information there anymore; it's there in Prelude when I reopen that. Not sure what's happening. I did save the metadata separately also.

Hi Jenny,
thank you for taking the time to reply.
The media is from a Canon 7D ( MVI_####.mov ) shot in full HD in
1920x1080p at 30fr
as I'm answering this email i'm checking that project... and now it's there
again in full. I was missing metadata in the first 3 rows of data
information.... Scene, Shot Name & Shot Number. I used those three columns
because that was the order in the metadata check list.
This is on my Win 7 computer w an Nvidia quadro fx 3800 card and 8 gigs of
ram.... I am still having some of the same issues as well on my Mac OS
X.... 12 core... I'll need to check that again too.
I'm not sure if this problem will be persisting... right now it's
inconsistent. will continue testing on both computers... not ready to put
it into my workflow yet.
thanks,
Layne

Pdf converter pro not converting all columns

pdf converter pro not converting all columns

I'm using FrameMaker 7.1 to create multi-file user manual books (one file = one chapter). In Book view, I use the File > Save Book As... option to create the PDFs.
Most of the FrameMaker cross-references work in the PDF, jumping to the referenced location as expected. Not all do, however. If there is a common trait among the jumps that won't jump, I have not identified it.
I have downloaded the entire 7.1 "upgrade library" from the Adobe Web site (one update), but the problem persists. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Premiere Pro Can Capture Only One Stereo Pair?

I'm thinking of getting PPro CS 5.5, so I'm reading the Help file to learn about it first and I came across this listed under "Importing Digital Audio":
1) "Although the DV format can record two independent stereo audio pairs, Premiere Pro can capture only one stereo pair.
It may be possible to select either stereo pair 1, stereo pair 2, or a mix of both, depending on the DV hardware you use."
Does this mean if I have 2 mic's connected to my camera, PPro can only capture 1 stereo pair or the other or a "mix" of both? What does that mean?
Would I be able to edit both stereo pairs as separate tracks on the timeline?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Harm,
The specs on the Canon HV20 say DV can do 2 channels in 16 bit mode and 4 channels in 12 bit mode.
But I want to start using HDV, which can only do 2 channels in 16 bit mode. HDV uses MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz, transfer rate 384 kbps (2 channels).
The DV settings are PCM digital sound with 2 modes: 16 bit, 48 kHz/2 channels and in 12 bit mode is 32 kHz/4 channels.
Is a "stereo pair" 2 channels?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Capture not working, capturing as MP3

I'm using Project Setting of HDV and Sequence Settings of DVCProHD HD1080i 50 (this says it is the preset for Panasonic P2 cameras, mine is Sony as above but I have no other generic HDV settings).
The video plays through the Capture window fine and looks like it is capturing as .mp3
When I stop the capture the file does not appear in the Project window as I think it should.
I've gone to File > Import to bring the file back in. It is there but when I do this there is a File Import Failure message saying "there was an error decompressing audio and video"
Any help would be great I need to export the video as soon as possible.
Also, as I have no generic HDV or Sony preset Sequence Settings if you could tell how to add them/update Premiere that would be great.
Many thanks.

Premiere Pro CS5 -capture settings for canon 30f/24f?

Latley I have been using a canon xha1 for some simple work projects. I am new to the HDV workflow, and I am very thrown off by the XHA1 formats and how to properly capture them.
I have not been able to find the proper way to set up a sequence for 30f settings. Knowing that the 30f is not really progressive which settings should I use. (also what would the proper settings be for 24f?)
PP CS5 seems to have the Canon XF MPEG2 presets. as well as the standard HDV settings. Below is a screen shot of what I assume I should be capturing with.
Lets say the footage is 30f. Which of the following should I use. Or is it netiher due to the 30f being interlaced. Any help would be grealty appreciated.
(Premiere Pro CS5 on windows 7)

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Colin Brougham wrote:
You'd use the HDV 1080i30 preset for both; they're both interlaced.
That's not really true. These formats carry the flags to tell the NLE which frames to drop. It is progressive.
I use an HV40 with "f" mode all the time and Premiere reads it correctly as progressive. Even after dropping a clip on the make a new item icon.

Using Premiere Pro 6 - Capturing HDV .mpegs - These can't be seen by other programs like Compressor?

I'm using XHA1's using a Canon HV20 to capture via FW to my IMAC with 10.7. I'm using Premiere Pro 6 and have been using Plural Eyes to do audio sync for the past year.
About 6 months ago when I upgraded to Plural Eyes 3 (which they don't support video thumbnail preview for HDV) I noticed my MPEG files created in Premiere Pro could not be opened in Compressor to change to Apple Pro Res or do anything else with.
So, what I would like to know is there a way of capturing to some other file format than .mpeg using an HDV preset in Premiere Pro? I do weddings every weekend with 3 cameras doing hour long ceremonies. So, audio sync is real important and being able to see those thumbnails would be great.
Finally, when I export my XML to the desktop and bring it back into to Premiere Pro it "squeeshes" the HDV footage into 4:3 aspect ratio. Which I then create a new Sequence, select all, copy and paste and now I have 2 sequences to keep track of.
I realize these are not earth shattering - but they would sure save precious hours over a weeks time while doing many repetive actions. Thanks for any advice.

I have same experience/problem:
- PluralEyes does not show HDV thumbnails
- Windows version crashes (I tryed initial version when WIN support was added)
- Premiere still needs XML export-import, so stereo audio becomes double mono audio
I'm still using PluralEyes version 2, which is at least working:
- use PluralEyes Connector to export from Premiere directly, that opens PE2 and asks you which timeline you want to sync
- when done, exit PE and it will automatickly open Premiere, import project, and highlight added bins
- grab highlighted bins and drag them to the "new folder" icon in project bin; that will create new bin and put all imported bins/clips in to that bin.
- open synced project and copy all clips and paste them in original timeline (where unsorted clips vere).
OPTIONAL: I do replace all clips than with original clips from project bin, just to get stereo audio back. After I replace all clips I delete added bins/clips, because Premiere duplicate all (it will add them every time you re-import clips, instead of knowing it is already imported). So just to keep premiere project file smaller, I remove doubled clips.
If I need to sync just some files I use Premiere CC built in syncer. But PluralEyes does resolve harder to understand clips and Premiere solution is limited by how many clips is capable of syncing. And it does not work with several video/audio tracks, but only two. At least in my case, if I try to sync more than two clips it is grayed out.
Yes, I'm dissapointed by PluralEyes3, because this was my main reason I bought licence, Only to now using version 2.

Premiere Pro CS3 capture error after Aug 09 vista update

im using premiere pro cs3 on two PC's running vista. after the last vista update last week, i can no longer import HDV or DV from my HV30. both PC's detect the camera and ask to import into windows movie maker or other programs, but when i open premiere pro cs3 and click on capture, both PC's refuse to acknowledge that a camerat attached. is anyone else having this error? if so, have anyone found a soultion to this error?

Strange as it might sound, I'd also install the latest audio and video drivers. OS updates can kill these in a heartbeat. Test afterwards.
It sounds like Vista is seeing the camera OK, but I'd check just a bit deeper. Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager (or whatever Vista might call it?), and with your camera attached and turned on, navigate to it. Open up the window for that device and check every panel. Any warnings, or errors anywhere?
In PrPro, check all of the Capture Preferences. Anything amiss there? Anything changed, since the update?
As a test, create a current Restore Point (do not trust that Vista has done this for you - do it manually to be sure), and then choose a Restore Point from before the Update (I'd actually go back several, if possilbe). Use that and test again. Does PrPro now see the camera and does it Capture as before? If the earlier examinations do not point up something, and this test shows that PrPro CAN Capture, you have at least narrowed it down to the Vista update.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS4 Premiere Pro not playing

I have just got 6 imacs all with cs4 suite installed, when I press space to play or J or L to play it only plays a milli-second and not the whole thing, all the mac are doing this ? is there a setting someplace ? I also have the same problem in Soundbooth and even final cut, imovie. Anyone help ?

Mark,
It would probably be helpful for you to provide a bit more information here. However, let me give you some basic suggestions
make sure your apple os is up to date - graphics drivers might be included and be affecting you
make sure your CS4 suites are up to date. Premiere Pro is currently at version 4.1.... 4.0 and 4.01 were previous versions. 4.2 is around the corner but not out yet.
play your media in quicktime to see if that's problem.
capture or import some footage that you know will play. try that in premiere pro.
Regards,
Dennis

How do I get Premiere Pro to capture in a different codec?

I have been attempting to capture footage from a Sony HVR-V1U into Premiere Pro CC 2014. I am running an HDMI cable from the camera to a BlackMagic Intensity Pro card. The only options I have are Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, MotionJPEG, and DVCPROHD. I want to capture directly to a DNxHD Quicktime file.
The best I have been able to manage so far is capturing to the Uncompressed 422 format, then taking it into Adobe Media Encoder, and compressing it to DNxHD100. This is okay but, it is far more time consuming, and, it leaves me with an .mxf file and a .xmf.xmp file when I'm looking to get a Quicktime file.
My OS is Windows 8.1 - I also have a BlackMagic Decklink SDI 4K installed alongside the Intensity Pro.

I have a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme HD Card. Copied All Files from Blackmagic Installation folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Blackmagic Design\Blackmagic Desktop Video\Premiere Support ) to appropriate folders in Premiere install folder and everything Started worked fine. Looks like a installation bug by Blackmagic. If it helps please mark as useful. thanks.

Premiere Pro CS3 Capture Question (Firewire to USB Converter)

Does Premiere Pro CS3 support capture through a Firewire to USB Converter? More specifically, we have one particular PC laptop that does not have a firewire port, only USB 2.0. So we were thinking of getting a firewire to USB converter. Will that work for capturing footage from our Mini DV camera?
Camera is Canon XH-A1S HD and a firewire cable will be running from this camera to the firewire to USB converter, then a USB cable will be running out of the converter into the dual core laptop with Windows 7, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 460M video card.
Thank you!

Might work then again it might not. Have not heared of any positive results. In other words imo its a waste of money.
You need a real firewire connection.

Premiere Pro: Not Playing Timeline, Not Rendering Full Sequence, Stalling on One Frame

2013 iMac // 10.9.3 // Premiere Pro CC 2014 (latest update)
I have been editing a project for a few days, and it just started giving me issues on my last run through it before exporting.
I have dealt with many problems with PP before, but I honestly don't even know what's going wrong here. I cannot pinpoint the issue. It seems to be a number of things. I started by updating PP and CUDA. Nothing. So I continued.
1) I was having problems rendering, so I figured I'd delete the preview files and start from scratch. When rendering the entire project, it would get to about 60%, then stop and hang there. After five minutes of watching it, I would quit PP. Even though it would look like it had quit, it would still be running in Activity Monitor and the little light underneath it in the dock would be on, so I have to force quit.
2) It was odd because the spot where it stops rendering is the sport where, if I scroll through the timeline, the Program window will freeze on one frame. Then it doesn't matter how much I move the playhead, it won't show any other frames. Nor will the sequence play at all after this. So I'd quit again.
3) I went back to another project and rendered everything in it - fine and dandy.
Why is this giving me such a problem? If anyone needs anything else from me to properly diagnose this, please just say so! Thanks for the help.

Sorry 'bout the time lag. Our new firm just started its first large project, and as the tech geek for the photo-part of it, been kinda busy.
So there's clearly a problem with the project file having gotten corrupted, but ... when it hits the footage it choked on before, it choked again. There's some kind of glitch here that has to to with PrPro interacting with those files. I'm wondering if a file header somewhere has a digit that can confuse PrPro or something? I do recall a couple issues of a similar nature that eventually involved people sending a bit of the nasty footage to an Adobe staffer, who poked through behind the scenes and found something that was not exactly what it might best have been in a header or something. Altered that, PrPro & footage liked each other again, everybody else happy. But that's the sort of ish that one needs experience at ... and I've got none.
There's been times also where people have split a project up ... right on the edge of the Problem. Three parts to their project, in separate project files. First "good" part, and rendered it out as a separate project. Next project, the "troubled" footage that worked by itself, as again its own project, and rendered out. Then the final & also untroubled part, again rendered out. I've heard of both taking those into QuicktimePro (if appropriate codec) and uniting in one continuous piece, I've also heard of people who took three PrPro projects that had been rendered out separately (if I recall one was probably about six parts, a long & complex bugger) and brought those rendered-out parts back in to make a final project with everything in it. In fact, there are a number of people who split their larger projects into chunks, that are finished separately, then combined in a final PrPro project for final polishing as their normal work habit.
Best wishes ...
