Premiere project doesn't import correctly

Hi I'm a new user of After Effects and having some difficulties importing my project from Premiere into After Effects.
When I open AE I hit file, import, adobe premiere pro project, and then I hit my premiere project.
The project loaded with all the files listed and it looks normal but instead of having one file that says "composition" that you can hit and it will load all of the trimmed clips from the project into the timeline, there are several files labeled "composition". I have 25 files that are labeled "composition" which is also how many avi files I used in my premiere project. When I click on one of them it loads the whole video of that avi file and not the trimmed version I made in Premiere. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?
Let me know if you need any additional information!
My system info is:
Adobe After Effects CC 2014 version 13.0.0.214
Adobe Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.2 (33)
Windows 8.1 Pro
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
RAM: 16.0 GB
System Type: 64-bit
AVI Codec: Ut Video Codec YUV420 (ULY0) VCMx86
Quicktime 7.7.5

Hi Kevin,
Here is the screenshot of AE after I loaded my project.
Here is a pic of my project in Premiere.
Thanks for looking into this for me! Let me know if you need me to do anything else

Final Cut Pro Trial doesn't import correctly from iMovie

I am trying the trial version of Final Cut Pro.
I am trying to import iMovie Projects into Final Cut Pro.
When I do so, no clips import (they are all still photos) and sometimes the sound imports and sometimes it doesn't.
Is this just because it is a trial version? Does this work normally in Final Cut Pro?
My end goal is to create a DVD.

They are all in a folder on my Mac.
What fodler? Are they in iMovie Events?
aren't the free tracks in iMovie/Gargage Band/etc, free of copyright?
Yes, but FCP won't link to them if they're not in events.
You should finish these projects in iMovie.

Slideshow doesn't import correctly into iDVD

Hi all. I posted this in an iDVD forum and got no responses. I thought I'd post it here too, just in case anyone has an idea. I have created some excellent slideshows in iPhoto. They are put to music from iTunes. The slideshows contain multiple adjustments to timing so the photos flow along in time with the music. I get them to where the transitions are perfect in iPhoto then export the slideshow to iDVD. When I watch them in iDVD, the timing has changed so the transitions and timing between pictures doesn't correspond to the music anymore. Sometimes a photo transition is off just a second, sometimes more. But the errors accumulate through the whole slideshow, so by the end it's not right at all.
Is there any way that I get get the slideshows into iDVD without losing the perfect timing that I worked so hard to get just right in iPhoto? Thanks to anyone who has any ideas, and happy holidays!

Stephen:
The issue is with Quicktime and its encoding of the transitions. They always don't end up the same length in time. If you need that precise timing I suggest you create the slideshow in iMovie HD (6) where you can add multiple tracks, trim them to length, etc. with great precision. Export the resulting movie to iDVD from iMovie.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

GarageBand project won't import correctly into another project

I created a long podcast project using GB 3.04. The project consisted of one voice track. I decided to break it into two projects so that I could make it into two episodes. I created a new project and dragged part one to it. This worked just fine -- I was able to import other audio files and create my finished episode. However, when I created a new project for the second episode and dragged part two to it, the track was truncated to a fraction of its size and it contained no sound. The original of part two plays normally when I open it, but several attempts to import it as a track have produced the same result. Is there some setting that I accidentally tripped, or is the project file just corrupt? I don't want to have to re-record the track, but I've resigned myself to the possibility. Thanks.

Sorry, guess I didn't explain myself well. The original GB project consisted of one voice track that was around 45 minutes long. I decided that I didn't want the podcast episode to be that long, so I split the track region into two regions. Using the Edit -- Copy command, I created a separate GB project and pasted the second of the two regions into it. I tested the new project to make sure that it played properly, then saved it, re-opened the original, and deleted the second region (since it was now in its own project file). I named the original "part 1" and the new project "part 2". I then created a 3rd project file, to which I dragged the part 1 file and added music, imported mp3s from other podcasts, etc. This went off without trouble. However, when I attempted to do the same thing with part 2, I ran into trouble. I dragged the file for part 2 into a new project file, but instead of 18 minutes of voice recording, I get 3 seconds of dead air. If I open the file for part 2, it plays normally. I don't think I did anything differently with the two regions, but it wouldn't be the first time I've changed a setting or something without realizing it.
Thanks for your interest.

Premiere CS5 doesn't import AVCHD audio

Sorry out there, but I do need some help!
Premiere CS5 wont import the audio of AVCHD clips (1920x1080 50i) shot with a Panasonic AG-HMC151E.
Is it possible I miss an AC3 codec? Thanx

If the AC3 is fully Dolby-compliant, the full-paid version of PrPro will have not issue with it. I would assume that your camera WILL produce fully Dolby-compliant AC3's.
One of the issues with some AVCHD cameras is that they allow the user to record as DD 5.1 SS (6-channel), and PrPro will Import those into a 5.1 Audio Track. The rub comes with the Export from PrPro. It requires the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS encoder plug-in (costs extra), to Export as DD 5.1 SS, but PrPro will do a mix-down to 2-channel just fine.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if one DOES go for the SurCode plug-in, be sure to buy it from within PrPro, as they will get an Adobe discount below the price from the Minnetonka Audio site. It's only about US$50, but that counts.

Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6

I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
Select project
Select sequence
Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG at the end. These clips have a 500% speed in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
Anyone?

I just found the solution!
In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
Sorry for the post.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 doesn't import MOV Files

Hi, All!
I'm working on Windows 8.1 64 bit and use Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I've downloaded and installed on my PC latest version of Apple QuickTime 7.7.4.1680.86 from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
I've trying to use some free stuff from http://www.detonationfilms.com/Stock_Directory.html and mix it with my video. You may download example of Pre-Keyed Explosions using direct link: http://www.detfilmsshockwave.com/DVExplosion01.zip or any other stuff from this site...
...but my Adobe Premiere Elements 12 with installed the latest updates doesn't import these MOV Files with codec PNG Image
In fact, Apple does not offer ProRes components for QuickTime on Windows, but I don't know do this problem interact with my trouble?
IMHO, it's best to look at the crash logs for QT32Server! I've found executable QT32Server on my PC in next folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\CAHeadless\32\Adobe QT32 Server.exe, but can't found any import logs on my Windows 8.1 including hidden folders. I have trying to check the windows events log for errors %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s but it contains no necessary items.
I have trying to re-install version 6.5.2 of Apple QuickTime, but without success. May be I must try to install any other older version, i.e. 7.5.5 ?
I think perhaps such behavior of Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is in design?
May be I'd try third party free video converter, like SUPER e.t.c. to convert MOV container to AVI?
Please help me to find a way to fix this problem.
Sincerely yours,

What is this "codec PNG image" that is contained/wrapped by the .mov format? What are the video and audio properties of this video...frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, et al.
It sounds like you have Premiere Elements 12 is running on some version of Windows with QuickTime (latest version) installed on the same computer as Premiere Elements. Great. Requirement for QuickTime met.
Where is this PNG.mov coming from? And what type of .avi were you thinking to convert to?
Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime does offer an export with a PNG video codec with the .mov file extension. I am in the process of exporting my Timeline to that type of file and then determining if I can import that back into Premiere Elements 12 project.
When your png.mov will not install into Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, what is the specific message that you are getting from the program at that time.
More shortly after my export of the png.mov is finished. Any minute now.
ATR
Add On....The png.mov produced by Premiere Elements 12 Window 7 64 bit could be imported into a Premiere Elements 12 project. I am now going to my laptop which has Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit to do the same thing and see what happens there. Back soon.

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

HT1386 my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly

my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly from my address book. some are imported with the area code separated from the number, as it is in the address book (by a dash or parentheses). these the phone will dial correctly. others are imported with all the numbers bunched together, without separations between the number and area code, even though in the address book they are separated. these the phone won't dial correctly, and I get a message from verizon saying it won't connect with the number as dialed. how can I get the phone to import the numbers as they appear in the address book?

Hi, bjholladay.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows XP or Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Dissolves imported from Premiere project not working in After Effects

When I import a Premiere project into After Effects all the dissolves turn into separate layers (black solids). There is no opacity information being imported for some reason.

What version of Premiere created the project you're importing?

A problem when importing an Adobe Premiere project into AE

Hi
I've recently had to reinstall my entire hard drive (all my Adobe software is CS5)
After the reinstallation I created a new Premiere project, but when I tried to open it in AE as I always did (file-import-adobe premiere pro) it open an empty composition in AE.
The composition is the same length as my Premiere project, and same size, but it is empty, and non of the video files appear in the Project window.
I also tried to import a dynamic link - and I got the entire premiere edit, BUT it was all one layer, no cuts, and I can't work with that.
Does anyone know how to fix this? It's quite urgent!!!
Tnx

Check your media cahce and its settings.
My disk cache is enabled, and the maximum disk cache size is 10GB
Other than that, can you be more specific, as to what I should look for there? And if it's a codec issue, is there any way to check which one?
Tnx

Exporting Video w/ Sound From Premiere Doesn't Play Correctly in After Effects.

I export a video from Premiere with sound and Import it into After Effects, however the sound seems to be sped up and glitching. The wave form is compressed and shows that the sound does not play for the actual duration of the video?

We can't know. You have neither provided any exact export settings nor any other useful info like system info, versions, audio hardware prefs and so on.

Any way to prevent dupes in Premiere Project file?

Due to working with both PluralEyes as well as multiple editors on the same project, I deal with importing a lot of XML and PRPROJ files into existing project files that I've worked with.
This, on a large scale, becomes untenable because every time I import another editor's work or a synced sequence, I get duplicates of all my media in the project. I'm trying to figure out if there any way to have Premiere check to see if the media is already imported, and reference that media in the imported sequence? If not, I will just keep getting larger and larger project files with multiple references to the same media, because both me and my other editors are working with the same media, but for different sequences.
As far as I can tell, when you import an XML, or even a sequence from another Premiere project, it creates new master clips for every clip used in the imported sequence. It does not recognize that you may already have a master clip that you're using in another sequence that is referring to the same media.
So if you want to keep both sequences in your project, you need to keep both master clips. If you delete a master clip from your bin, it will not stay in the sequence(s) that refer to it, it will get cut out, leaving a big steaming crater where it once was. Even if the sequence is not currently open. This is one of the things I loved about FCP7. You could delete every single one of your master clips and your sequence would be totally unaffected. You could even recreate the master clips by dragging them from your sequence to the bin.
I think if there really is no way to manage these duplicates, this is a HUGE problem for professionals who are working in environments with multiple editors. This isn't just a "well, learn how to deal with a new editing system" - this is actually a deal-breaker; and actually the only one that I see REALLY preventing Premiere from being the go-to choice for larger post houses. This problem becomes so big so fast that it makes true collaborative editing downright impossible. In my office we might have three people on a project, all editing and revising segments and passing them back and forth. On FCP7 this was easy as pie - we'd just cut and paste between project files and use basic versioning best practices. In Premiere, our project files quickly become nightmares and work is often inadvertently deleted or lost.
I would like to see:
- Smart media handling when importing sequences and projects. Premiere should look at the filenames and file location and attempt to relink any duplicate media. If it stumbles, it should ask for help like FCP.
- A media consolidation inspection feature. I'd love to see an option for inspecting your project for duplicate media references. When found, Premiere should automatically consolidate.
- Streamlined sequence exporting. You should be able to export a single sequence. I know there's some version of this in Project Manager, but we all know it should be easier than this!
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Link Master Clips to media on drives, not to sequences.
How would you like the feature to work?
"The selection you are deleting contains clip references in one or more sequences. If you continue these clip references will all be deleted. Do you want to continue?" In short, I never want to see this warning again. I *need* to be able to delete master clips from my project without having media deleted out of sequences.
Why is this feature important to you?
Editors need to stay organized from the beginning. Professional editors don’t edit birthday parties; we often have large quantities of different kinds of media, need to know where it is, need to access it quickly, and don’t need unnecessary things in the way.
Organization exists in one place: the project panel. The less that’s in the project panel, the smaller the project file size is, the faster the project file opens, closes and saves, but most importantly: the easier it is to find what you need, fast.
The reasons for working in multiple project files are endless. When you import a seq from another project, you also get the clips used in it. Often times these clips are already present in the project, which is why you now include a “don’t allow duplicates” checkbox in your import dialogue box (which btw doesn’t work when we’re working with Merged Clips painstakingly built in other project files).
While you might fix that Merged Clips bug, I still don’t know why you won’t just let me clean stuff up myself. Why are you trying to save me from myself? I know where my media is and Premiere knows where my media is: on my drive.
A professional editing program should not try to save people from themselves. It’s why I left FCP for you. You have a great, powerful suite of programs (that I’d pay a lot more for than I do now btw)… but I need to stay organized, not be unnecessarily prevented from doing so.
Please listen to us and make this fix.

Premiere CS4 doesn't work on Windows 7

I have a delicious new Windows 7 edit suite I built for nearly 3 grand, and Adobe Production Premium CS4.
Premiere doesn't work properly.
I urgently need to edit a TV documentary. I don't have time to mess around, that's why I paid for the software rather than pirate it or get something like Vegas or Pinnacle.
I try and load my Premiere project and the thumbnails for my clips are grey and the program freezes when I try to view them.
Importing the project into a new project does nothing.
I just lose response as soon as I try to play some of the clips (about half of them)
All of the clips are on a local, high speed hard drive.
I have downloaded all Window's latest updates.. Same with Adobe..
This software is fairly disgusting. I've been struggling with Adobe Premiere for many years, especially on larger projects that aren't SD DVD-AVI format.

Hi Guys
I tried doing the benchmark thing but failed-
followed the instructions on the webpage, but found afterwards that they didn't match the instructions in the RTF file..
Couldn't get the script to work- runtime error.
However, project launched in around 11 seconds, rendered in I think less than a minute, and exported both formats in about 36 seconds.
Is that useful?
I am struggling to find any more time to work with this benchmarking utility.. thanks for bringing my attention to it though.
HDD setup is
System SSD
3 x Spinpoint F3 (not in RAID as I'm struggling setting it up without wiping Windows from the SSD...)
Asus P6TD
Graphics card is the weakest link here - 8500GT, until I can afford to upgrade.. Think it has latest drivers though.
X-Fi Xtreme Gamer soundcard (very recently installed)
I do indeed have a Logitech mouse, it's using SetPoint, latest version with UberOptions.
It seems like this project is nothing less than corrupted. But nothing is helped by me importing it into a fresh project... my steps:
1. Load Prem CS4 (latest update)
2. Load Promo.prproj
3. When loaded, it takes an additional ~15 seconds of busy disk activity, loading thumbnails in the timeline etc, which it normally never does on this machine. Finally, offline symbols change to thumbnails in the project/bin pane
4. If I scroll down in the project window, the lower clips have no thumbnails and suddenly everything's fallen apart; the monitor is black, the source monitor is frozen... Sometimes Prem says not responding..

Can't open Premiere project exported from After Effects

I was working on something in After Effects, basically just audio and video clips. Editting really. I decided one part would be faster in Premiere so I exported a Premiere project of it. When I try to load it in premiere I get an error "The project appears to be damaged, it can not be opened.". Does anyone know if there's a way to fix this?

It doesn't cause a problem for me, and we have not heard of this on the forum as far as I can remember.
Try creating a brand new comp in a brand new project. Add some video and audio. Does that export OK?
I don't mean to be rude, and in no way do I want to be insulting, but I would feel bad if I didn't ask and it turned out to be the problem....
Since that is the symptom if you try to open a Pr project created in Ae using Premiere Pro CS6 - please check that you are opening the correct Premiere Pro. I forget which icon is which now and then and open CC when I meant to open CS6, although I have never made the reverse error. Yet.
