Problem importing Premier Pro CS4 files into CS5

I have loaded Premier Pro CS5 onto a spanking new 64 bit machine.  When I import a CS4 project file into CS5, it asks me to locate the raw video files but nothing else.  All titles with graphics in them are without the graphics. The text is OK.  The graphics have disappeared.  How do I import a project so the titles are complete and don't have to be rebuilt?  .

Can you please give your system specs?
In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

  • Problems importing Sony Handycam mpg files into Premier Pro CS4

    I'm investigating Premier Pro CS4 for video editing and if I can make it work okay then I will purchase the Master Collection. Otherwise I may go to the MAC and use Final Cut. I need immediately to edit files downloaded from a Sony HandyCam that come off in an mpg format I believe it is (MPEG-2). My understanding is that the Premier Pro supports the importing of mpg files.
    When I attempt to import one of theses mpg files I get the error, "Unsupported file format or damaged file." I know the files are okay because I can play them with Windows Media Player and have been able to edit them with Window Movie Maker. Now I need a more robust editing environment and am looking at Premier Pro to be the solutions.
    Has anyone had experience with importing mpg files? Is there a Codec needed? If so where can I get it and how do I install it?

    Adobe wouldn't help me on the phone, as I haven't got a support contract. Perfectly rational by them, just stupid.
    I've asked my software supplier to forward on some questions and a link to this thread to Adobe support and they should be looking at it soon.
    Also, there is another possible solution that might help those of you with full versions.
    There is some advice here on one way to give Premiere Pro the ability to import MPEGs.
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html
    This is very attractive to me - as I know the AC3 audio codec is used by my MPEG files and it sounds like it could be a solution. Of course, I've tried it, and I still get the same error.
    I ran the files through TSRemux and got the same 'file format not supported' error message.
    I've also been trying to import a .mov file into the trial version and I get the same error. Jim, would you be able to help me by saying in which other ways the trial version is limited?

  • Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
    When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
    I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
    I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

  • Problems importing PageMaker 6.52 file into InDesign CS5

    I have an 11-year old file that I need to import into either InDesign CS5 or FrameMaker 9 on Windows 7. The file was originally done on a Mac, so it had no extension. I have tried adding the .PM6 extension, but when that didn't work, I tried the .P65 extension. I know from the PDF properties that the file was done in PageMaker 6.52, but I don't have PageMaker, and neither does the original author at this point.
    When I try to import the file into InDesign CS5, I get this message: "The PageMaker document is damaged and cannot be recovered." (Note that I am using CS5, not CS2, so the issues I've seen posts about should not apply.)
    When I try to impor the file into FrameMaker 9, I get this message: "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation."
    I could try converting the PDF, but I'd like to get this file converted if that is possible.
    I am posting this in the FrameMaker forum as well to see if they may have any insights.
    Tammy

    It could well be that the error message is accurate and the file is damaged.
    If you’re on Windows you could download the PM 7 trial and try opening it with that. If that works, resave the file and then move it to InDesign.
    BTW, you keep saying import. InDesign cannot import a PM file, it can only open them.

  • Can't import mov and mpg files into cs5.5

    Hi
    When I import a mpg file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    There was an erro decompressing audio or video
    When I import a mov file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    Importer reported a generic error.
    Good news is, that I have simply imported both files in the past without any troubles. So I hope it is something very simple.
    Maybe I have somewhere codec installed in the past (k-light) and something now doesn't work that well anymore.
    But I don't know if I have done this anymore and a desktop search didn't deliver me any results.

    I've installed Premiere Pro now on a different windows7 platform.
    Still the same. Can't import the mpg file. Somehow the mov file works here so that is something.
    Anyway I thought maybe it is helpful to share some data about the video:
    Container:
    DVD "VOB" format
    MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
    Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
    Audio:
    AC3
    0xbd[0x80]:48000Hz  256 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot)
    Video:
    Codec MPEG2  Name MPEG-2
    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot).

  • Export  Premiere Pro CS4 file into QuickTime Movie

    Hello!
    I am a student at the Art Institute Online program.  I am taking a video editing class using Premiere Pro CS4.  I successfully completed my video which needs to be saved to display in Quicktime; however, I am not able to upload the file to my class discussion because the file is too large.  The size of my Tfile zipped is 169,761 KB. Is there anything anyone can recommend?
    Thanks much,
    Annette

    You need to reduce the bitrate to reduce the file size.
    It is okay to then ZIP the file to make it even smaller for uploading to a server, however people will have to then download it and unzip it to watch.
    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
    Cheers

  • Audio recording problem in premier pro cs4

    The audio (voice using microphone) I have recorded using the sound mixer in premier pro plays back at a high speed for some reason. The voice sounds like "Alvin from the Chipmonks". Can anyone explain why this is happening?
    Joe

    Joe,
    Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, so more folk will see it and can respond.
    Now, did you use a USB mic? Many have had issues with those.
    Also, going back about a year, there was a similar thread, and the description was about the same - "chipmunk." I do not recall the flow of that thread, or the resolution, but will try to find it. I just hope that it was not before the forum changeover, as it is likely gone forever.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] OK, I think that this is the THREAD.

  • Problems importing Nikon D4s NEF files to LR5, Bridge, Photoshop CC / CC2014?

    Is anyone having a problem importing Nikon D4s NEF files into Lightroom 5, Bridge or PhotoshopCC / CC2014 or Photoshop5?
    I am running the latest updates: LR5.5, RAW 8.4, Photoshop CC latest update which, as far as I am aware, are all supposed to support the D4s NEFs but none will read the files; LR5.5 just shows "Preview unavailable for this file", Bridge just shows a blank and Photoshop shows "Photoshop cannot open this file".
    I have tried 14 bit, 12bit uncompressed; but only jpegs show up??
    All running on an iMAC 2.93Ghz Core i7 mid 2010; 16GB Ram and also on a Mid 2011 Macbook pro 2.2Ghz core i7 with 16GB Ram. 
    Is this camera supported fully yet?
    Is anyone else having similar problems?
    Any ideas?

    You probably used Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This causes corruption of the file so taht Adobe Software cannot read it.
    To uncorrupt the files, see Fix Corrupted Nikon NEF Images

  • Unsupported or Corrupt tiff file in Premier Pro CS4

    I keep receiving a message: file is unsupported or corrupt when trying to do an import into Premier Pro CS4. I can open the file in windows photo viewer, Photoshop CS4 and other applications with no problem. I tried saving the file as a jpeg and then imported it into Premier Pro but the preview screen is black. Has anyone ever had this happen?It looks as though the only problem exists in Premier Pro.
    Joe

    Joe,
    I've seen this with image files, that have improperly formed headers. It most often happens with JPEG's, and often PS cannot open these, and will throw similar errors. For those, I just open the file in another program, one not so strict, and do a Save_As from that program. Then, PS can open the new one.
    I'd look into what is in your TIFF. Is it Layered, does it have Alpha Channels, and/or Paths. Is it RGB (CMYK will NOT work)? Is it 16-bit, or 8-bit? Those are just some of the possible problems. In PS, I would check the Color Mode, the Bit-depth, Flatten, Delete all Paths and Alpha Channels. If you need the Layers, or the Alpha Channels, then try doing a Save_As .PSD, and try again.
    Remember, no 16-bit/32-bit and no CMYK - 8-bit RGB only.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Problems opening InDesign CS4 files in CS5

    We have just upgraded to CS5 to take advantage of the tracked changes facility, and immediately encountered problems:
    when opening CS4 files in CS5, we've noticed that formulae, created using charater styles, are not displaying properly.  For example x = y / z, which would have the x and = signs dropped, the y underlined and the z on the next line, something like this (although much prettier than I can reproduce here):
    x = y
          z
    in CS5, however, all gyphs in the formula are superimposed upon each other
    we tried loading the character styles from our template document.  However, that caused most of the content to dissapear!
    we tried converting our template to CS5 and then loading the character styles from our template document.  However, that also caused most of the content to dissapear!
    Anybody got any clues?

    If you are opening the CS4 files directly in CS5, try exporting CS4 files to IDML and opening the IDML files in CS5. It's worth a try if you haven't already found it doesn't help.

  • Premier Pro CS4 and Camtasia imported screen capture

    I have a question from one of you professionals regarding Camtasia screen capture video imported to PP. I used several settings that was suggested in the posts in these forums and others and the quality of my video is still very bad. Please Help:
    I am making a four minute training video that includes some screen shots of software. The final video will be put on DVD and Flash for website.
    My capture settings of Camtasia are 1024 X 768. I used Tech smith codec and I used Logarith codec to produce the video in AVI from camtasia.
    I set my PC screen size to 1024 X 768 as well.
    My Premier Pro CS4 Setting HDV 1080i, 29.97 frame rate. 1440 X 1080 Frame size.
    I also used the following frame sizes DV NTSC, 29.97 frame rate. 720X480 frame size
    I also used MPEG2, HDTV 720p, 29.97High quality, 1280 X 720 frame rate
    None of the above settings worked. Please help

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

  • Premier Pro CS4, not recognizing .mpg or .m2ts files

    Hello, I downloaded the 30 day trial of Premier Pro CS4.. So far it works great other than the following:
    Cannot recognize .mpg or .m2ts (avchd "high def") files... It recognizes only .wma files.  Is this because I have the "free" trial
    version? My currect Premiere Elements 7 reads all the above files with no trouble.

    OK, I good with that... but what's the point of trialing if you cannot manipuate videos ??  I'd hate to spend the $700+ without being comfortable with Premier Pro CS4.   Allright, I guess I'll have to make .wma files to test.
    Thanks for your feedback!
