Premiere Pro - synchronize video clips according to recording date/time

The issue - no way to sync clips via recdate/time. No way to sync clips that have no timecode crossing on timeline.
And no possibility to sync an optional number of clips - i have to select 1 clip per track.
It would be nice to have a placement mode 'Rec date/time' in 'Project->Automate to sequence' function, or/and other synchronization tool.

And the cameras will stay in sync as long as you don’t turn one of them off, or change between CAMERA and VCR modes.
And again(russian site):
However, be aware that sync may drift slightly between the cameras throughout the day, and if you turn off one of the cameras, change batteries, or switch a camera to VCR mode, that can briefly interrupt the flow of timecode.
The Red users have to use tc generator or re-sync camera with sound recorder after battery change in order to have correct timecode. http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18029&page=2
Could a future version of RED be built to hold time code during battery changes? (Please???)
The major problem is not camera or hardware-based.

  • Premiere Pro 5.5 Not Showing Entire Recording

    When I try to open a recording in Premiere to edit it it only shows the first minute or so of the video, while opening in other programs (MPC, VLC, etc.) renders the entire recording. VLC actually says the AVI is broken and needs to be repaired, and that there may be problems with seeking, but doesn't give any other information. It still works in VLC despite the error message however, and seeks just fine. I haven't had any luck researching this on Google so I thought I would try here and see if anyone else has experience this issue.

    Ok here is the info.
    Premiere Pro Ver. 5.5.0, no updates. 
    Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
    6GB of ram, Core i7 920
    nVidia GTX 470
    Not getting any error messages, I have a Canopus ADVC110 capture device that I'm capturing analog video with.  I'm using the capture tool in Premiere with default settings, except that device control is turned off.  I get no errors or notices when the capture is running or when I make the files.  However when I go to import the clip into my timeline the duration is less than a minute long.  When viewing the file in other program's it is fine, even in another editor like Vegas.  I have several clips that exhibit the same behavior.  Occasionally I have a clip that works fine without the duration issue, but I'm not sure why as none of the settings for the capture have changed.
    The clip I'm looking at currently is roughly 15min long and shows up to be about 43sec in Premiere.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - video noise in the exported file

    Hi everyone,
    Im trying to make the transition from FCP7 to Premiere Pro CS6. I edited my first project with Premiere Pro and exported the sequence. However I noticed that the exported file had more video noise than the original clips.
    The material is shot by Canon 5D Mark III and edited natively in the Premiere's timeline. Then they are exported to ProRes 422. After noticing the noise I exported the sequence as "match the sequence settings" and it created the .mpeg file. Same thing, there was noise. I then tried another other formats of that same clip and transcoded the Mark III footage to Xdcam EX 1080p before sending to premiere. Same thing, no matter what I did.
    The only way i got the exported file to look the same as original file, was to convert the files before sending to ProRes 422, then edit those files in Premiere in the sequence thats settings are XDCAM EX 1080p and then to export it to ProRes422.
    Do you have any thoughts for this. The noise I'm talking about is not a huge amount of noise but definitely noticeable if you look the FULL-HD material.
    I really hope there is some setting I missed. Im using Mac pro 2009 and Macbook pro 2011.
    Thanks

    Hi Thomas
    Try exporting by enabling "Render at maximum depth" and " Use maximum render quality" in the export dialogue window.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Video Playback Problem/Bug

    I have been editing a video for the past few weeks, but recently, after I have been editing for a few minutes, all of a sudden my video won't play in the playback window. When I hit the play button (or the space bar) it does nothing - just sits there. All of the clips are rendered (with the green bar), but I cant see my changes because it doesn't play. I am even able to move the cursor along the timeline and it will show the video in the playback window, but it won't play back in real time. Like I said I have been using Premiere Pro CS6 for a while and havent had this problem until now. Also, when I drag a clip into the preview window, it doesn't play either (but I am able to move the cursor along the timeline). I have to shut down Premiere and open it up again, then it works for a few minutes again, and then the same problem occurs. Please help! The specs for my lap top are as follows: Macbook Pro Retina Display, 2.6 GHZ i7, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD

    Do you ONLY have that single 500gig drive?
    If yes, you are below specification... which requires a separate drive for video files
    An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the
    orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do
    Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct
    the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with
    your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another
    very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more on partitions) with Windows (or Mac OS)
    and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is
    not slowed down by trying to do everything
    Do not try to use a USB2 external drive for video editing, the USB2 file transfer speed
    is too slow
    External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... eSata is better -

  • Right sequence and export settings in Premiere Pro CS6, video with still images

    I am trying to run a video on my website (self hosted). This video, made with Premiere Pro CS6, consists of still images with different video effects.
    This video is only 50 seconds, but when I transform this in the ogg, webm and mp4 format, I obtain file with large size and the quality is not good.
    Could you please guide me to find out the right sequence and export settings in Premiere Pro CS6 to obtain a video for the best possible quality on the web?
    A precise description of the settings would be awesome. 
    Thank you
    Silvia

    Make the export setting the resolution you want to use on the web.
    Make the sequence settings accordantly to these export settings

  • Does Premiere re-render video clips if they match the sequence settings?

    I am new to using Premiere Pro CS5.5 and also a consumer lacking a detailed understanding of digital video inner workings, so excuse me if my question is obvious.   I have some older video clips, roughly 15-30 minutes in length.  I would like to combine these into one file - without any loss of quality if possible.    So for example I imported two clips of the same format into PP.   I created a new sequence by dragging one of the clips to the magic button.  Then I drug the second clip and placed it right after the first on the same sequence.   I made no other changes - no transitions, titles, effects etc.   Then I exported the sequence where I selected use the same settings as the sequence.
    Two questions: 1) will PP re-encode/re-render the video such that I lose quality?     2) if you were simply trying to combine two or three video clips / files into one, would you go about it as I did here or would you do something different?
    Let me know if you need more information and thanks.

    The clips were orginally on miniDV tape, captured with Ulead/Corel VideoStudio in 2001, then output into another format.  I found a shareware utility that reported "MPEG2" as the codec.   So I would assume then as you noted these would be re-encoded?   Would you expect a loss of quality that would be noticeable?   Combing these clips isn't required, just some housekeeping.   What would you do here?   Thanks for the help.
    Here is the output from right clicking on properties of one of the clips:

  • Adobe premiere Pro Cs6 video saccadé

    Bonjours à tous ! Débutant en la matière je solicite votre aide pour m'éclairer, donc voila, sur adobe premiere pro Cs6 je voudrais faire un montage a l'aide de videos (format MOV.) prise avec un Canon 650d mais il y a un hic lorsque je transfert mes videos et que je tente de les lire, elles lag, très saccadé que ce sois dans "source" ou dans l'outil qui permet la pré-visualisation ... donc le disque de travail a 85 go, et je voulais aussi savoir quel type de préconfiguration devrais-je choisir sachant que la largeur de la trame = 1920 et la hauteur = 1088, et que la frequence d'images est de 25 trames/s, Merci d'avance pour votre aide

    D'accord je vois, et merci de ton aide,
    mon processeur : Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz
    Mémoire installé (RAM) 4,00 Go
    sous windows 7 et ma carte vidéo est Intel HD Graphics family
    j'ai aussi tenté de convertir la video dans un autre format que MOV. car j'ai vu pas mal de problémes similaires avec ce format et en Mpeg sa ne saccade plus mais il y a une grande perte de qualité j'en ai deduis que c'est au niveau des paramètre de sortie de conversio, et le seul réglage qui me pose probleme est le Taux (Kb/s) en allant dans les propriétés des vidéos que je veux convertir il y a des taux variant de 48000 à 49000 je ne sais donc pas vraiment quoi mettre ...

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Video Codec + with 60d

    Hi all at Adobe.com forums,
    I have been actively using Adobe After Effects, as well as Premiere Pro to import my video and subsequently alter the footage to my liking. My question is this...
    -When you export any of the footage (from the native .mov format on the Canon 60d), I want to retain as much image quality as possible, but keep the file size to an appropriate margin where I can edit the altered footage for future use. I currently use Quicktime Animation - but the file sizes are too large. This causes hang-ups while editing, as well as leaving a mammoth footprint on my HD.
    What settings do you use when rendering video? What are the optimal settings?
    cwakely

    retain as much image quality as possible, but keep the file size to an appropriate margin
    Those two goals are mutually exclusive.  Keeping the file size down means compression, and that reduces quality.  Keeping the quality means no or lossless compression, and that requires lots and lots of bits.

  • I'm unable to drag-and-drop a script from the Story window in Premiere Pro to a clip

    I have a film script visible in the Story window, and I try to drag it to the relevant clip in the Premiere Pro project window—but nothing happens.
    I have also tried to attach an astx file, but I get the "matching scene number not found" error, even though I put scene number 1 in the clip and in the astx.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Incidentally, though your help indicates that "all the scripts" you have in Story will be visible in the Story Windows in Premiere Pro, I can see only the film scripts—not for instance the multicolumn scripts I also have.  Is there something I can do about this?
    Thanks you,
    PIerre Sauvage

    Hi,
    Please make sure that you are performig drag drop with scenes and not complete scripts. You will notice a cursor change when you do so. For more clarification, please refer to this post. 'http://forums.adobe.com/message/5533247#5533247'.
    Importing astx is a much longer way to go through the same thing , so i would suggest to try out the drag drop workflow only and let me know in case you still face issues with it.
    Also, yes, column scripts wont be visible to you in the Story panel inside Premiere. For this, I am afraid you will have to convert your column scripts into a film script. Let me know if you need help with this.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Ever since I updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro my video is taking FOREVER (over 20 hours) to export.

    the video is only 20 minutes long. I've exported longer videos in less than 2 hours before so I have no idea what the issue is. The first time I tried to export this same video it started at saying remaining time was around 8 hours, went all the way down and finally finished and then said it there was an error in the export after 8 hours and the exported video wasn't there. So I decided to try the exporting process again, and last night before bed it said about 8 hours to export again. I just woke up and now it's still not finished (over 8 hours later) and NOW the remaining time is over 20 hours!!!! Does anyone else have these issues?
