Premiere to encore - export first or import project files?

I would like to make a dvd of a show, which is currently in different projects (by scene) because they are made up of many different video clips and are quite large. I don't know if my computer is going to be able to handle having all this video open at once and am wondering what the best way is to handle this, or if that is even an issue.
What is the best way to do this? Should I be importing all the premiere projects along with their associated clips into one premiere file to add the chapters? If so, does flattening help or does it bring all the full clips in anyway? Or do I bring those projects directly into Encore?
Or should I be exporting to MpegDVD first and using those, or will I lose a lot of quality?
Thanks!

if you have Premiere Pro Cloud you may not import premiere projects into Encore CS6 since dynamic link does not work between versions... you must export MPEG2-DVD out of P-Pro and import the two (audio and video) files in Encore
CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help
The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file.
I can get the file to import if I first right click the file and tell it to "open in source monitor" then tell it to import.
When I do this it indexes the file. After it is done indexing is when I can then import the file.
Should I not just be able to tell it to import and it does the indexing?
These files that I am tryig to open were with Premiere Pro 4.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the specs. of this MPEG file? Might be something in those, that is causing an issue.
Good luck,

Importing project files into Premiere Elements 7

I have created a new project, imported several video clips and then created a video. It was only at the point of creating the video that I reliased that I had not created the project with the correct settings.
Although the video looked fine in the editing window, the final video had black bars at the sides, and above above and below the video, and fairly think black bars. I've tried exporting as different formats, and changing the aspect ratio, but this has not helped. I've attached a jpeg of what the video looks like in Quicktime.
Other video editing software I have used, has the ability to change the project settings after it has been created, and give a warning to the user about possible problems they may encounter by doing so.
This does not appear to be the case with Adobe Premiere Elements 7, and it is extremely frustrating!!
One thing which appears to be possible with Premiere Pro, and was also available on other editing software I have used, is the ability to import projects.
So... does anyone know if it is possible to import a Premiere Elements 7 project file into Premiere Elements 7? The aim here is to create a project with the correct settings, and then import the existing project file into the timeline.
I've tried hacking the project file, which has improved the video slightly, but still not what I was expecting.
Cheers

This problem should have been picked up by Adobe's test analyst during testing of the product.
I am sorry, but I am not following you on this. There are Presets to match many media types. I am not at all sure how Adobe could anticipate that a user would choose the wrong one.
As I said, PrPro CS4 will both allow you to Import your .PREL (with the caveats mentioned), and work on the Project with Sequence settings to match. Unfortunately, PrE is a much less sophisticated and expensive program, than is PrPro CS4.
I'd be happy to Import your file, in PrPro with the proper Presets, but the rub would be that PrE cannot Open .PRPROJ files, so you still could not edit it.
Sorry, but the first rule of any NLE is to establish Presets that match one's Assets. PrPro CS4 (not before that version) allows one to cover their mistakes a bit, but there is still some work getting the improperly set Sequence's material into a new, properly set Sequence.
If you have access to PrPro CS4, and can finish your Project there, that would be the best. Next would be to create a New Project with the proper Presets and chalk up the lost time as a learning experience.
Sorry ot bear the bad news.
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashes when loading project file

Hi guys, any help on this is much appreciated as I have a job due in 18 hours and I'm in big trouble if I can't fix this.
I've been editing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (updated to the latest version) and when I tried to access the same file today it is giving me the error message:
'Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.'
I had saved other version files and they all seem to be working properly so I know it's not my HD that is corrupt. In fact my suspicion is that it has something to do with a blur effect i'm using. The only problem is, I can't even access the file to delete the effect as the project file won't open.
Information about my computer:
I am using a Macbook Pro
OS X version 10.9.4
2.6 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB, 1600 MHz DDR3
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

Guys I solved my own problem - thought I'd share with you how in case anyone else is having this problem -
I came across this thread
Premiere Pro CC error message and crash
which had the suggestion -
"Do tou have after effects installed? If yes, please try to import the main sequence into it and then export it as premier pro project from file/export ootion and then try to open that in premiere pro."
This didn't work for me too but I did try and import my existing project into a new project and copy all the files over. Works fine now.
I don't know if I will have the same issue again tomorrow so I'm going to render out a super high res video before I close premiere just in case

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
Does anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2. It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death. To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine. Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down. Here are the detailed info you asked for...
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
What other software are you running?none
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
iMac 27in Mid 2011 3.4 Intel Core i7 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD6970M 2048 MB OSX 10/9 (13A603)
No external devices, except a external hard drive. I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?I am not completely sure to be honest - I believe it is the factory settings.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?both!

Encore CS4 never stops importing a file

Hi @all,
I have got a serious problem with Ncor CS4. I want to import an m2v file (5,6GB). Ncor imports it, the progress bar goes up to 100% but then it restarts to import the file and it takes again 5 Minutes, then, at 100% it restarts again and so on. It never stops importing the file.
When I hit the cancel button, Ncor crashes immediately.
Does anybody know a solution for this really annoying problem?
My system is:
C2duo @ 3 Ghz
3,5 GB ram
Win XP SP3

Well, in the meanwhile, I have read here that nvidia graphic cards may cause the problem, so I updated the driver (Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS). Then I deleted the Media Cache directory within the registry and I could import the file for the first time. But then, when I tried to add chapters, Encore crashed.
So I restarted Encore and again I could not import the file due to the infinite loop. The Media Cache directory was there again.
It can't be, that I have to delete something out of the registry everytime I want to use the program. That's really disappointing.
Well, 3.5GB is normal for a 32 bit XP system when you use 4GB ram. XP is only able to address 3.5GB out of 4GB - that's why. It is hard to say how different my PC is - I would say, it is quite standard - I have no plugins and other applications. The only hardware I installed was an E-MU 0404 Soundcard. But that's it...
I even tried it, using a completely new image (purely fresh Win XP SP3, no other software) installed Encore CS4 and had the same problem.

Imported Project File will not show Timeline

I burned my raw DV clips, title graphics and audio to DVD's along with the project file itself.
I mailed these DVD's to my editors.
My editors recieve the DVD's and open the project file on their end and it shows no timeline or timeline information.
All the dv clips are there, it gives no errors that anything is missing, and the "size" of the project file itself matches the one in my studio (that does have the tiemline with all my edits) - yet it opens on their end with no timeline information.
What are we missing?
Project was built on Adobe Premiere Pro... they are trying to open in CS3.
Thanks in advance.

SOLVED.
I went back and exported an AAF file from Premeire and emailed that to them, they somehow were able to use that to get the timeline to pop with sequence now showing in the component/support list.
No idea what that is (never used it before) or why i even thought it may help, bought i found it, tried it, and it worked.

Premiere Pro CC crashes in opening a project file

I am using Premiere Pro CC since 1.5 years now. No big problems so far but now suddenly a strange one in opening a project file.
Several other project files open up as usual, but the last one I've been working on, suddenly crashes in the middle of loading the media files. An error message like this appears:
"Premiere Pro has encountered an error. [c:\ppro772\releases\2013.10\shared\adobe\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\inc\ " (and the rest of the path I'm not able to see, it's cut.)
I have installed the latest version of the graphics driver today. I have installed Premiere Pro 2014 some time ago but didn't really use it yet. I already tried to open the project in 2014 with no success.
Now I just found out that I can open the project from the one-before-the-last autosave file! Thereafter I saved the project with a different name, but trying to re-open it resulted again in the same error!!
Any idea what the problem could be and what might help?

BUt that's a different error.
I am getting this one aswell.
[c:\ppro772\releases\2013.10\shared\adobe\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\inc
Please fix it.
I really want my Premiere Pro to work :\

Encore CS4 Hangs on importing audio files

My newly upgraded RTX2 PC immediately hangs as soon as I try and import a WAVE or MP3 audio file into Encore. I can import other types of file into Encore. My OS is windows 7 Professional and I have the latest versions of Encore and Matrox Tools.

The LG software was :
BD Rewiter & HD DV D-ROM Drive Solution
Which contains: PowerDVD, PowerProducer, Power2GO-Lightscribe Support, Instant Burn, Power Backup and BD Advisor.
All this software however was installed on my system when I ran CS3 and I never had any trouble before. In fact the only additional software between my old CS3 setup and the newly upgraded CS4 setup is that I now use Norton 360 instead of Macafee.
Can't help feeling that this is just another Adobe oddity, as Premier CS4 is also showing some wierd problems that CS3 never had! The old CS3 setup was actually far better than CS4 and just did the job without any aggro.

Exported and later Imported .pst files retain the permissions from the original Mailbox.

After migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2010 something strange happens when exporting folders to a .pst file and importing them in another mailbox.
The acces right that are applied, are those from the original mailbox.
I have been searching on the internet about this strange behaviour, but it seems our organization is the only one where is applies.
Does anybody have any ideas what can be the cause?

Hi,
For example, userA was granted permissions to the Inbox folder of userB's mailbox. You exported userB's Inbox folder to PST file and then imported to userC's mailbox. After that, userA had permissions for Inbox folder in userC's mailbox as well. This is
what you had encountered, is it right?
Generally, permissions aren't preserved when you export folders to PST file, only the content itself is exported. I recommend you remove this mailbox folder permission using the Remove-MailboxFolderPermission command to check the result.
Best regards,
Belinda

Problem with premiere and encore export, Adobe QT32 Server (Not Responding)

I could help.
When exporting to Encore or Premiere, the program block.
In the Activity Monitor shows me these two errors:
Adobe QT32 Server (Not Responding)
PPro Headless (Not Responding)
Technical Specifications:
MAC OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Suite CS6
graphics card: AJA KONA LHi
Can you help me please
Thank You

Have you checked out this post from Adobe? I know it says for After Effects but it definitely applies to Premiere too. We have some AJA cards whose components in /library/QuickTime were causing similar Adobe QT32 server hangups; removing them solved our issue but also broke compatibility with older apps like FCP 7.

Premiere Pro CC wont open or import .flv files

I just upgraded from windows 7 to 8.1. Clean install. Downloaded Premiere Pro CC, AE CC and a few others. I cannot import or use .flv files in premiere pro. It says file type is not supported. Even if I export from AE as a flv premiere pro wont open it. All my past projects with flv files show that media as off line. Please help. FLV always worked before.

Support for importing Flash content was removed in the latest patch. Please see this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/premiere-pro-cannot-import-flv.html
If you search for "FLV 7.1," you'll find several threads on this topic. For example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5818286#5818286

Premiere Pro CC crashes when browsing/importing video files.

I've got a trial version of Premiere Pro CC installed today, running on a late 2012 iMac.
No problems during splash screen or project startup, but when I try browsing for a video file in the import box or attempt to drag and drop files from my local disk, a Premiere prompt says a fatal error has occured and shuts down. I haven't experienced this problem on other PCs/Macs.
The files I've tried all run smoothly when opened by VLC or QuickTime. Extensions tried so far: .avi, .mkv, .3ggp.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
3,2 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
If there are codec issues, trial version limitations or these types of files are not supported I would hope PP would say so instead of crashing abruptly?
Any help appreciated, I'm not an editing guru.

Premiere does not have trial limitations.
If vlc plays the files is no garantee Premiere will.
Premiere does not support mkv.
Premiere only supports dv-avi and 3gp.

Premiere Elements hangs or crashes when importing .avi files

When making videos, I use .jpg and .avi files, since that's what my digital camera produces. Lately, if I start a new project, I can load the .jpg's, but when I attempt to load a .avi, the program (Premiere Elements 1, Windows XP, sp3) hangs. If I try to reopen an old project (all files are still there in the original locations), it looks like the program is starting to load the files, then I get an error message to the effect that "a serious error has occurred", and the program terminates. These are the same files from the same camera that have always loaded with no problem before.
There have been no hardware changes. The only software changes have been the update to XP (from sp2 to sp3), and periodic (unspecified) automatic software updates. Is Premiere Elements not compatible with sp3, or is something else going on? I need a clue as to where to look.

This is aimed a Premiere Pro, but may help
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with the DETAILS asked for in the questions at the end of that link
Pay special attention to Question 1 - the Codec used in the file
You say "avi from a digital camera" which usually means it is not DV AVI Type 2 file, but instead is some other compressed type of file hiding in an AVI wrapper
My GUESS would be that some update and messed with your codec entries in the Registry, and the codec you need is no longer properly registered

Premiere Pro CC 2014 will not import MOV files

As of about two weeks ago, my Premiere Pro CC 2014 stopped importing my Canon MOV files. Never had a problem before. I've had to edit in CC to work around this. They import fine there.

Jim,
I've looked up all sorts of MP4/MOV comparisons on the web ... most conclude that mov is perhaps a bit "safer" on an Apple OS and mp4 "safer" on a PC and non-Apple "devices", but generally list the contents of the two as being nearly indistinguishable. I do realize the Qt has had ... issues ... within the Adobe programs, especially on PC's.
You have any other good info? Always looking to learn from the more experienced ...
