Premiere Pro Voice Over Problems

Hello
I am having problems recording a voice over in PP6.
I am using an external mic via a mic amp and into the line in socket on my mac.
The problem is I can't set any levels as there is nothing showing on the level meter.
I can actually record the VO no problem but need to see and preview the mic level before I start.
Any help appreciated
Paul

To add to this post...now when I record my Voice overs, when you playback in the timeline they are running at twice the speed and other times they are very distorted...
Not sure what's going on here !

  • Premiere Pro 2  memory problem

    Hello.
    I am requesting assistance in resolving what seems to be a very annoying problem.  I am in the process of trying to finalize a demo reel and I'm using some .avi clips which I rendered out myself.  The resolution for each .avi is  640x360  and there are 6 videos (no audio) in total with an average size of 160 MB.
    When these videos were imported to PPro, I immediately received a warning "Prem Pro running very low on system memory".  I deleted all the current videos mentioned and imported some completed videos I made a few months ago. When I tried scrubbing back and forth with these new videos, there was no problem what so ever. I shut down PPro and launched it again. I imported some movies, short videos, images etc. and again no problem at all. Everything was running smoothly and cleanly.  Once I imported the latest videos, the error message appears immediately.
    Just to provide some additional information regarding the renders.  I rendered them all out in .jpg stills and then in Flash, I created .avi files (the same way I did for all previous projects).  I cleared out all previous project files from the PPro directories and deleted all files that are no longer needed.
    I'm at a complete loss as to what is causing this problem.
    If anybody can please provide suggestions or even a solution, I would greatly appreciate any help you are able to provide.
    Thank you.

    Can't help with P2... from the P3 user guide (available as a PDF on the install disc)
    All project settings apply to the whole project, and most can’t be changed after a project is created.
    Presets  are groups of project settings. Adobe Premiere Pro comes with several groups of presets installed: HDV,DV-NTSC (North American standard), DV-PAL (European standard), DV-24P, and Mobile & Devices. These
    contain the correct project settings for the most typical project types. When creating a new project, you can either
    select from among the standard presets or customize a group of project settings and save the customized group as a
    custom preset. If you want full control over almost all the project’s parameters, you must start a new project and
    customize its presets.

  • Premiere pro/ fcp question/ problem

    I think I've gotten myself in a pickle:
    I'm editing a short film for this guy and he only wants me to do the rough cut, and says this other editor will do the final cut on his computer. Problem is I am editing with Premiere Pro CS5 on Windows 7 and the guy is going to using Final Cut Pro 7. Is there any friendly way of exporting the FCP xml and the footage over to his computer?
    Sorry if that sounds like a math problem but I really need help on this issue,
    Thanks forum,
    KH

    Just send him your project exported as an .xml along with the media files.
    If you are only doing a cut & dissolve type of rough cut, there won't be any problem.
    If you add audio and video effects, they are not likely to translate.
    I have done this successfully with several mac fcp editors.

  • MagicBulletLooks1.4 for Premiere Pro CS5 Installation Problem:'unauthorized-register or reinstall'

    Hi,
    I have a problem with installing Magic Bullet Looks 1.4 for Premiere Pro CS5 on my computer. Upon installation, when I launch PrPro, drag and paste 'Looks' video effect on a clip on the timeline I get every time the following message:
    'Magic Bullet Looks is unauthorized - please register or reinstall'
    The clip over which I apply the Looks effect starts flickering and if I try to open the Looks' 'Edit' in Effects Control it fails and I got the following message: "Unable to create a preview frame for LooksBuilder'
    I tried to reinstall the software (as administrator) three times but the outcome was every time the same. I need to add that 'Magic Bullet MisFire' that came with Looks 1.4 installs properly and works just fine.
    Have you experienced the same problem? Can you please advise me how to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 (64bit)
    Adobe Master Collection CS5 (64bit)
    CPU: Intel i7 - 930
    12GB RAM
    Mobo: Asus P6T
    Graphics card: nVidia 250GTS (from MSI) with 1GB DDR3
    Thank you in advance!

    Harm,
    Magic Bullet Looks v1.4 is the latest one and the only one that works with the 64bit CS5

  • Installed premiere pro cs6 trial - problems importing

    I have just installed Premiere Pro CS6 and when I import a video clip, the video comes across but no sound or even the sound track? is there a fix?

  • FCP - Voice Over problem

    I have a FCP system set up which includes an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. This includes audio from a video deck as well as other audio inputs, such as a studio condenser mic connected for voice overs. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my big problem. When I'm recording voice over, whilst there is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones (I am able to hear the audio cue countdown), I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers for that matter). The microphone is working fine... when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. I cannot understand why this should be. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? HELP!.... Thank you.

    Thanks for responding. Where do I find the checkbox that allows playthrough? What's it called... and which menu is it in? Thanks

  • Premiere Pro CS4 over remote desktop does not play sequence

    Hi all,
    I have been researching this issue over the internet but I have found absolutely no references to it:
    I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my high-resource PC but would like to work from a different room so I am remoting form my laptop to my "good" PC.
    The system lets me do everything I could normally do when working directly on the main PC with the exception of playing back my edited files (before rendering). This is an obvious handicap since I can not watch my edited sequence and am, therefore, working in the blind. I am able to step through it frame by frame, but when I click the play button, it changes to a pause symbol (as usual) but nothing is shown in the video window. This does not just happen when previewing my edited sequence but also when previewing any imported resource.
    Essentially, Premiere Pro CS4 is not playing any video content over a Remote Desktop.
    Other normal playback software (such as VLC, Windows Media Player etc...) works though, so it is not an issue of no video playback at all. This just happens when I'm using Premiere Pro.
    Any suggestions as to what this may be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to edit a full 1080p HD video in Premiere Pro CS5 remotely using HPs RGS (Remote Graphics Software).  I had a Workstation at work with Premiere Pro installed on it and all the source footage on it.  I was then able to log on remotely from home with my old weak-sauce desktop and successfully edit and play back the HD footage remotely.  You just do a google search for HP RGS or go to this link. http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
    There is a free trial available too. I don't know why there is not more information about RGS on the web, but it seems to me to be the only solution to work on Premiere or After Effects remotely.
    I hope this helps

    Welcome to the forum.
    Looks like you are on an iMac. To help others help you, can you post the specs of your system?
    I was about to post links to a bunch of troubleshooting articles, but they were written for PC's so I dobut that any would apply here.
    With the important data, someone is very likely to see a potential problem and help you.
    In general terms, most problems sort out this way:
    System
    Assets
    Project/Sequence settings
    Those given, the exact detail will get you closer to resolution.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CC2014 - Graphic problem makes my machine freezes

    Hi guys,
    I use Adobe Premiere Pro since the subscriptions began.
    When I did the update to CC 2014, an issue starts and this freaking me out until now.
    I don't have a clue for what makes it starts but in a common edit day, after editing about 1 hour... the software starts to show graphic erros (like you can see in the pictures attached). After this, about 20 minutes with the problem my machine freezes.
    It only happens with Premiere Pro. I use all other softwares from Adobe without any problems.
    What do you think about?

    Hi Duca,
    Sorry to hear about your issues.
    I use Adobe Premiere Pro since the subscriptions began.
    When I did the update to CC 2014, an issue starts and this freaking me out until now.
    I don't have a clue for what makes it starts but in a common edit day, after editing about 1 hour... the software starts to show graphic erros (like you can see in the pictures attached). After this, about 20 minutes with the problem my machine freezes.
    It only happens with Premiere Pro. I use all other softwares from Adobe without any problems.
    What do you think about?
    We don't know much about your system. Can you fill us in? FAQ: What information should I provide when ask... | Adobe Community
    Typically, this is a Mac only issue on OS X 10.9 and OS X 10.10. It can occur on any Mac containing a NVIDIA GPU, but most commonly on MacBook Pro laptops with a NVIDIA GPU installed.
    Typically occurs when using Premiere Pro with other GPU intensive applications.
    Other GPU intensive applications that are popular with Apple users include Google Chrome, Apple App Store, Apple iTunes, and Spotify.
    Some editors use these applications concurrently with Premiere Pro. Likely, many are unaware that these applications can trigger the issue sooner or even cause your OS to crash.
    Using a lot of GPU accelerated effects in Premiere Pro can also trigger this issue
    If you are using only a normal amount of GPU accelerated effects and working long hours, it can trigger the issue.
    If this is the computer you have, and this sounds like your issue, do the following:
    Restart the computer
    Start Premiere Pro
    Choose File > Project Settings
    In the General tab under the category Video Rendering and Playback, choose Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL). If Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) is not available, switch the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration Software Only.
    Click OK
    A dialog box will appear, which reads “Video Rendering and Playback Settings Changes.” Read the text, and then click the Delete Previews button. Note: any previously rendered previews will have to be rendered once more in the new renderer with a render command in the Sequence menu.
    Premiere Pro should now operate without the screen problems.
    Let us know if this works for you.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Premiere pro CC (2014) problems with audio on .mts files

    Hi,
    This is a recent problem I have been having when trying to play certain clips in Premiere Pro CC (2014), I import the entire private folder and some of the clips play as normal and others seem to have skipping audio. This causes the second half of the clip to not have any audio in it at all because it is bunched up at the beginning. I don't even know where to start with trying to fix the problem, the only thing I have done is re import the files and put them in new folders to change the destination it has been imported from.
    Any advice would be extremely helpful as it is mostly stopping me from getting on with any work,
    Thanks!

    Hi amber1992,
    I will suggest you to go ahead and clean the Media cache and Media cache files folders manually.
    MAC OS: Click on Go menu>Go to Folders>type ~/Library and click ok. This will open User Library folder and then navigate to Application Support>Adobe>Common>Media Cache and Media Cache files. Delete all the files from these folders.
    Windows: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common or you can Click on Start button and in search type %appdata% and open Roaming folder>Adobe>Common>Media Cache and Media Cache files.
    Once done launch the project again and check.
    Regards,
    Vinay

  • Premiere Pro CC MXF problems

    Hi there,
    I'm currently working on Premiere Pro CC. We've imported all of our clips from our C300 from a hard drive that was shipped to us. The folder structure in intact and the clips have been working fine, up until now.
    I opened up my project today and I noticed a few clips were offline, they won't relink but instead give me a "generic error" message. The weird part is that there can be 2 clips from the same folder/file structure and one will work and one won't. Even weirder, we back up all of our media to two different folders. The folder we keep our working media on is getting thrown offline, the folder we archive everything... imports fine.
    We also noticed that, even though we imported from the Media Browser, the .mxf extension appears. This hasn't been the case in any of our other projects. It's a recent addition. Not sure if that's part of the problem but it's weirdly timed to our offline problem. It looks like we dragged our footage from the finder but we did not.
    Any ideas as to what's going on? One thought we had was that we recently upgraded to premiere 2014 but due to conversion issues and generally bugs, we decided to downgrade back to CC temporarily. We've completely uninstalled the 2014 suite and trashed all preferences.

    Hi Matt,
    I know that some other customers have complained about the quality of exports, as well. I have heard that 2 pass VBR might give bad quality. Can you try an encode with 1 Pass VBR instead? The quality should be just fine with 1 Pass VBR.
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro CC rendering problems : can't see my medias anymore

    Hello,
    I started my first project on Premiere Pro CC, but it looks like PP CC isn't working well concerning rendering, I think I'm going to use my Premiere Pro CS6 again...
    Sometimes, the rendering simply stops working : I can't see my output view anymore, only the "Media Pending". Removing media cache, rendering files, no effect. Closing the project and opening it again, still the same. Sometimes I can get the files back by selecting another rendering Engine, but after a few minutes, I loose my medias again.
    I've seen the other post concerning preview files lost and the "empty sequence solution', but mine is different : I can't simply get the view back.
    The other problem is that when I close PP CC, and try to launch it again, If first have to manually stop the PP CC process, which seems to be crashed as it doesn't completly stop.
    Olivier

    Ok, I just met a new problem, with the "unexpected MUTE" bug.
    No need to answer my previous problem, I've decided to stop using Premiere Pro CC, which needs to be seriously fixed by Adobe teams. more than 60 euros per month for such a quality is a SHAME.
    Let's switch back to PP CS6.

  • Premiere Pro CC - Render Problems

    I'm having some trouble using Premiere Pro Creative Cloud. I edited videos using CS6 and CC with the same sequence settings, font settings, and export settings (i.e. YouTube SD widescreen 29.97 preset), and exported with Media Encoder. But the quality of the CC video is much worse then the CS6 video. See attached for my screenshots of my settings. Please help me figure out the Creative Cloud problems. Thanks so much.
    CC font settings:
    CS6 font settings:

    CC export settings:
    Here's the CC render (bad quality):
    Here's the CS6 render (better quality):
    If our sequence, font, and render settings in both CS6 and CC are the same, why do we get different results in terms of the quality of the renders?
