Problems importing cs4 premiere timeline into encore and encoder

Hi. I am still a "beginner to premiere" but have never had a problem importing premiere timelines into encoder and encore and then either creating a youtube file or dvd etc. But only recently it seems there is a problem importing the timeline ... it starts the process but then cannot continue ... it comes up with some error bug after about 5 minutes. Never happended before. I downloaded the latest version 4.2.1 but no difference. Should I uninstall/re-install??

>comes up with some error
That is just too vague for anyone to help
Post the TEXT of the error message... and do a forum search to see if there are other messages with the same error

  • 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.

  • I imported a quicktime movie into imovie and want to export it to idvd and it is grayed out

    And if You

  • I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertical

    I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides. 
    The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
    I can import the vertical clips two ways:  "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540."  But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
    This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific.  My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

    Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant.  when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

  • I am trying to import quicktime audio files into FCPX and it's saying they're not suppored - Help?

    Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
    Also if you have imported them then  this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
    http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
    the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

  • I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
    In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
    Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.

  • I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

    I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto  and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

    I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and  Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
    When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

  • Premiere Timelines - Best Practice and Workflows

    Hello all, I am wondering if you can offer some advice.
    I have been a Final Cut Pro 7 user my whole life - and more recently FCP X. We are currently looking into the possibility of switching some of our programs over to Premiere because it seems to have a mix of features somewhere between 7 and X. However, I am finding it a little hard to come to terms with the way Premiere handles codecs, timelines, transcode workflows, etc.
    For example... In FCP 7 you would usually create a timeline that uses ProRes422, convert what you need (either log & ingest or batch conforming) and then edit with the ProRes footage and then export directly to ProRes for broadcast or Compressor for previews.
    The upside being that all your rendered frames on the timeline are stored and ready for when you need to export.
    With Premiere... It seems to 'not mind' when footage comes in Natively (C300, XDCAM MXFs, etc.)... Great! Except, using the workflow mentioned earlier leaves you with:
    - A ProRes Timeline
    - A tonne of unconformed media
    - A rendered timeline that seems to have no bearing on the final export speed.
    I'm flummoxed! Even when I've checked 'use preview files' (from a rendered timeline), I seem to have large waits on my hands. It's not hardware, we're fully tooled with new iMacs and even MacPros - I've tried all the different settings for CUDA, Mercury, Software Only, etc. etc.
    So for an FCP user, can anyone recommend improvements to this workflow? What am I doing wrong? Premiere seems like a very good, solid & stable editor now (where previously it wasn't) but the export and render times are not leaving me impressed, especially when FCP X seems to leave it in the dust!
    Any and all advice welcome - thanks very much!

    The first important step is to forget about 'log & ingest' or 'batch conforming'. PR edits natively, thus saving you the time consuming conversion step before you can start editing.
    Because PR edits natively, you don't end up with a ProRes timeline, but only with native material.
    Conforming audio is still needed. Nothing can be done about that.
    Rendering a timeline has no bearing at all on exporting. Rendering is only necessary in limited cases for preview purposes.
    It is better not to check 'use preview files' when exporting, because it can lead to quality loss.
    In general, copy your source material to a local hard drive, import with the Media Browser, create sequence from clip (so your sequence settings match your source material) and edit away. For preview purposes you may want to render the timeline occasionally. When done, you export to the destination format without using 'use preview files' or 'match sequence settings'.
    If you find render times too long to your liking, you may need to increase your CPU power (more cores, higher clock-speed) and get more memory.

  • I need to create DVDs but Premiere Pro requires Encore, and Encore is no longer available

    I had Encore installed, but it gave me error messages when trying to import a Premiere Pro CC 2014 file. Following the advice from the support listings, I uninstalled Premiere Pro, then downloaded and ran the Adobe cleanup file, which removed my copy of Encore. Now I can't find a way to download it again because it's only available if I download Premiere Pro CS6, and there's no way to find and download PP CS6.
    I'm in the middle of a project for the Library of Congress, that requires me to send a DVD. Adobe should recognize that DVDs are still important for some applications, and should be making Encore as available as all the other applications in Creative Cloud. This has become a very frustrating process when it should be getting easier.

    Are you sure? CS6 still shows up in my Creative Cloud app (which I upgraded moments ago, by the way).
    Your point is that PR/EN CS6 is still available, and that is true.Your list is of the "installed apps" section and indicates that it is already installed. The poster indicates it was uninstalled and he should be looking in the "find new apps" area. Many users appear to be continuing to install PR CS6 with EN CS6. But others are having problems (as some have all along).
    A new problem appears to be that users seem to believe they have to uninstall PR CC in order to add PR CS6. And some odd errors have added fuel to the fire.
    The errors referred to by this user were probably no more than trying to dynamic link from PR CC to EN, which, of course, does not work.

  • Problem importing Adobe Connect recording into Captivate 6.0

    Hello,
    Not having found something about this via search, I'm asking the question.  I am in tech support for University of Missouri-Extension and we use Connect and create many recordings for later share.  I am able to import these FLV recordings into Captivate 5.0, but not 6.0 which we've just purchased.  I get the message; "Video encountered an internal error."  Is this a known problem with a work-around, or something new?  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks.
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Do you have audio in these recordings? If yes, can you try and use Adobe Media Encoder to encode these to a different format and then try re-importing.
    You should be able to import the file this way, however, you audio might not come across.
    Sorry about, we have shared the problem ahead.
    Thanks,

  • Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

    Hi there,
    I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
    Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
    When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
    I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks Rick and Mylenium
    Thanks that worked!
    I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
    Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
    I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
    Its a shame AE doesn't  pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
    I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
    Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
    Cheers

  • Problems importing 4000 approx songs into itunes

    I have recently purchased a new Apple Macbook. I am however experieicing importing all my songs into itunes. Approx 1,500 get imported successfully and then it just finishes with no explanation as to why its stopped.
    I have also a Imac computer and this imported all 4000 approx songs successfully.
    I am trying to import wirelessley.
    My songs are on a Time Capsule (2008 model)

    Same problem here. iTunes just won't import some of my mp3s and I can't figure out why. Most of my mp3s work respectively iTunes adds them but some of them won't - just nothing happens either through adding via the menu or drag&drop them. They just don't appear. Oh yeah and the mentioned mp3s work perfectly in winamp...

  • Problems importing After Effects files into FCP

    Hey guys--
    So I have this odd problem importing my after effects clips into FCP. I am working in standard DV, and my After Effects composition settings match my FCP settings.
    I am snipping little bits from my FCP project, exporting them to QT, adding stuff on top in AE, then shooting the clip back to FCP. The problem is, whent he clip goes back to FCP it is slightly "pinched." It's not really thaat visible, unless I try to edit a cut in the same shot. The after effects clip is a couple pixels wider, and the quality is a little blurry. If it is a hard edit, you wouldn't even notice the difference, but the two shots together make it pretty noticeable. I'm not set to square pixels or anything, and i get the same results no matter which codec i render in AE with.
    Any ideas?

  • Image problems importing Illustrator 10 file into Flash MX.

    Hello,
    I'm working on my portfolio and want to import an Illustrator
    (version 10) file into Flash (Flash MX). The problem I'm having is
    that when I import the Illustrator file into Flash, it comes out
    looking blurred. I tried exporting the Illustrator file into
    Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG, PNG, and TIFF (in each file
    format, changing the image size to 72 dpi) and I still get the same
    blurred result. I also tried saving the file for web, in
    Illustrator (in JPEG and PNG formats) with no success as well.
    The Illustrator file is a small collage of my graphic design
    work (where I pasted graphic work done in Illustraor and made
    clipping masks to collage them together), so I'm not sure if
    bringing these files together maybe causing some technical issue or
    is importing Illustrator files into Flash just something that will
    always appear blurred. If so, is there a way I can bring the file
    into Photoshop and work with it where I can import it without the
    blurred appearance?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
