Project manager not trimming .mts files

Relatively new to Premiere and struggle to media manage since my switch from FCP7.
I keep finding that Project manager is not trimming the.mts files, so still stuck with the entire clips.
Anyone know of any work arounds?

Premiere CC's Create New Trimmed Project does not support trimming of any MPEG material. If you update to CC 2014 8.1 or 8.2, there is a new option of Consolidate and Transcode that will allow you to transcode to formats that Premiere can export (e.g.: H.264, MXF OP1a, etc.). It still won't trim to .mts, but it might get you closer to your goals.

Project Manager not Trimming ProRes Files

I was hoping that 8.2 would solve this issue, but it hasn't. When I choose 'Consolidate and Transcode' in Project Manager, it is not trimming my HD 1920x1080 ProRes files. And in fact, it hardly trims anything. (It does trim a few Avid 1:1 SD files) I've tried virtually every possible combination of settings to get this to work the way the old 'Create Trimmed Project' did, to no avail. Please help - thanks!

Project Manager not trimming R3D files.

Mac
CS5.5
I am trying to make a trimmed project. I go to Project Manager and I select "Create New Trimmed Project"
I include 24f handles, Rename Meda files to Match...etc
The Resulting (est) project size says 5GB when the actual project turns out to be 20GB.
Thoughts?
(Btw, I tried collecting and copying files and the it was the same size (20GB), same amount of footage in both folders)

PPro can't trim R3D files. It would require a RED codec to be able to generate new R3Ds... the best it can do is consolidate your project to just the media that's actually used in the edit.

PP 2014 Project Manager not Trimming Clips

Project Manager pretty straight forward however the ProRes clips are not being trimmed. I tried both 24 and 0 (yes radio buttons were selected) but when I reopened the project the clips were full clips.
thoughts?

I'm having the exact same issue now and it seems to be related to what types of format Premiere supports for trimming.
My project consists of the following file formats:
XAVC 100Mbit MXF
XDCAM HD422 .mov
ProRes 422 .mov
If I remove XDCAM and XAVC from the project, Project Manager trims the clips, but if XAVC and XDCAM is in the project the files doesn't trim.
Adobe Help-page mentions this: "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles." But it doesn't state what these "some formats" are. XDCAM is Long GOP, but XAVC 100MBit is Intra and shouldn't be affected.

Project Manager not trimming projects

when using project manager and creating a trimmed project the difference between the original nad new trimmed project is minimal
The large files within the project are H.264. Does Premiere have difficulty with this format as it seemed to work with Pro Res 422 (LT) files?

The previous versions of Premiere Pro did not support trimming of MPEG material via Create New Trimmed Project. It would copy the entire file(s). With the new Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.1 version, you have a new option for Consolidate and Transcode, which does support trimming of MPEG files to a chosen preset/format. Hope this helps.

CS4 Project Manager not trimming clips.

Will premiere pro cs4 project manager trim the source clip file size based on in and out points?
I could swear I have done this before last year. When I do a project manager trim is creates a folder, changes the name of the file, but doesn't change the original size.
I created a project and imported just one clip , trimmed in from 1min to 5 seconds and dropped in into a timeline. After the proj mgr export the file wasn't trimmed in the new folder at all. I tried adding handles.

Thanks Jim. That little tid bit doesn't show up in the on-line help.

Project Manager - Creating Trimmed Project w Handles, still leaving me with Huge Project

I'm trying to create a trimmed version of a completed Premiere Pro project, via "Project Manager...",
but I'm confused why I'm not getting a more condensed resulting project size.
This project consists of a completed 3.5 minute edit of a 2-camera conference video.
The majority of clips in the sequence are drawn from several hour-long clips in the master media folder, but the project I'm trying to archive and share
is this 3.5 minute highlight/digest piece. I was hoping I could send a trimmed project (sequence) to my finishing editor, without having to transfer all the media, and all the unused parts of some of these long clips,
and was under the assumption that "trimming" would accomplish this, however trying to make a trimmed version with handles in Project Manager, is still leaving me with a 90+gig project.
Exporting this sequence when selecting "Match Sequence Settings" produces a 694.7 MB .mpeg movie, culled from .mxf files (PMW300) and .mts files (C100).
What am I missing?
I also attempted to create an AE project by importing this PP project (1 selected sequence) into AE,
and reducing/consolidating and collect files, and was still being left with a 90+gig project (see attached)
Would love any insight or workflow tips!
(settings in Project Manager)
("Collect Files" folder from an AE export of the same project, creating 96+gig footage folder for 3.5min .mpeg video )

As Richard noted, Create New Trimmed Project is limited in the formats that it supports/trims. All MPEG formats will be copied in their entirety. i.e.: not trimmed.
Starting with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1), Consolidate and Transcode was added, which may suit your needs. More information can be found at:

CS5.5 Project Manager not collecting all media

I am having a problem with the Project Manager in CS5.5.
Although I have used it succesfully in the past, on a current project I am trying to archive it is not performing correctly.
The issue is that the Project Manager is not collecting all the video clips when processing the project.
My project and its assets are contained in a folder and not scattered across my computer or multiple drive. The settings I am selecting are:
Selecting all sequences (11 in project)
Create trimmed project
Exclude unused clips
90 frame handles
Save in different folder on different drive
When I process, I am consistantly missing several video clips. They are a mix of avi and mov clips and they seem to be the same clips each time.
The clips are located with the other video files. They play just fine in the project but somehow they do not get included and trimmed when processed through the Project Manager.
Any idea or suggestions are approciated.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Projects settings for AVCHD MTS files in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Hello,
I have read several discussions already, about importing AVCHD MTS file in Adobe Elements (version 8), but I'm also confused a littlebit, so I would like to confirm if I'm correct.
FYI, I have a Canon Legria HFR26 camera and am using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (with the latest updates installed).
According to the specs in the Canon instruction manual:
Videos are recorded in high definition using AVCHD specifications
(MPEG-4/H.264 compression).
Audio compression: Dolby Digital 2ch
The camera supports making video's in different format, but I have done it in the default SP format, which results in a resolution of 1440x1080 (50 fields per second, interlaced).
I have copied the video from the camera to my harddisk, and Windows also mentions the video's as AVCHD of 1440x1080 (Bitrate 7672kbps).
The frame rate is 25 frames/second. I assume this is correct for 50i?
So, when I import my video's into Adobe Elements 8, I select the following projects settings:
PAL, AVCHD, HD 1080i 25
Because the description matches my video files:
- For editing with 1440x1080i AVCHD camcorders.
- 16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
- 48kHz audio.
The video's are imported correctly and I can play them. However, as soon as I drop a video on the timeline, Adobe immediately starts background rendering the video (a red line appears on the timeline).
What I understand from some discussions, is that this shouldn't happen, because the video format doesn't match the project settings. On the other hand, I have also read that for Adobe Elements 8 this is normal behaviour and it always start background rendering AVCHD video's.
Is this expected behaviour or should I chance my projects settings or maybe even convert my video files to a different format?
Thanks,
Michiel

The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

CC2014 Project Manager not keeping speed changes

trying to use project manager to consolidate a 40 minute sequence, everything looks good along the way, but any speed changes in the sequence are not keep in the new project....anyone else experience this? and is there a workaround?

Is this specific to this project (or specific settings) or are you seeing this in general? e.g.: if you create a new Project, apply Speed/Duration to a single clip in a Sequence (e.g.: 200%), then Consolidate and Transcode, does the Transcoded Project still have the Speed/Duration value applied to the clip in the Sequence?
I have not seen any reports on Speed/Duration missing and also ran a few sanity checks with Speed/Duration and Time Remapping in CC2014 (8.2), which all continued to have Speed values applied in the Transcoded Project Sequence. I also tried Collect Files and Copy to New Location, which also retained Speed values.

Project Manager not scanning Logic folder ?!

Hi,
The most funny thing about the project manager is that, no matter what, I can't have it list my songs, projects or audio files of any types, which are all strored in ~/Music/Logic (as by default settings). Other files stored in any location on my drive (even within ~/Music) are properly found and listed. I've tried rescanning a dozen times. Of course, I've checked that this folder is not excluded from the scan list. Force-including it doesn't help either. Weird, no?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Arnaud

Correction and addition (I can't get the edit button to appear on my previous post):
It's just the songs and project (.lso files) that can't be recognised in the ~/Music/Logic folder, as audio files in that folder (or sub-folders) are seen actually. Other .lso files in other locations of the ~/Music folder are seen, as I was sying in my previous post.
Besides, this should not be a preferences or database file issue, I suppose, since LP was brand new installed for the 1st time on my MPB only a couple of days before I launched scanning with PM and noticed the issue.
regards,
Arnaud

Problems trimming MTS files?

An editor, who works with Final Cut Pro, made the following statement:
"I personally wouldn't edit an MTS file; although Premiere can handle it. It's not really an editing format, which is why it has problems when trimming. It's a smartly compressed capture format that is usually transferred into a different spec for editing."
My take is that it's a good thing P Pro handles MTS (AVCHD) files natively. It significantly speeds up the workflow. And I have not noticed any trimming issues. But this comment raises a red flag.
Does anyone care to weigh-in on this?
Jeff Sengstack

I have not noticed any issues with making frame-accurate trims. I just clicked through some AVCHD footage, one frame at a time, and each frame was a discrete image. Does P Pro compensate for interframe media? For example, does it interpolate frames?
Yes, of course--FCP does the same thing, only it's "baking" it into the L&T files using whatever I-frame codec you select, e.g. ProRes. AVCHD uses long GOP encoding, so you've got discrete frames only every so often, with bits and pieces of predicted frames in between. In a shot that doesn't change much, there aren't many differences to encode, so you can have "frames" that really don't consist of much video data. The MPEG decoder knows to look forward and backward from those predicted frames to the independently-coded frames, and uses those as references to build the frames in between. Premiere Pro is doing this on the fly--that's why you need a fairly brawny PC to play back AVCHD in full-resolution, and it's also why you might have noticed some pretty nasty break-up if you don't set your Program Monitor Playback Resolution to Full. When it's at Full, both the independent frames and the predicted frames are decoded and displayed; when it's anything less than Full, not only does Premiere Pro drop the resolution, but it also doesn't decode all the predicted frames. It takes much less horsepower, but it can be pretty jarring and nearly impossible to edit, at least from a visual standpoint.
You can step through frame-by-frame and see a whole, discrete image because Premiere Pro is doing the decoding for each of those previewed frames--that's a lot easier than doing it at full speed. From a timebase standpoint, it doesn't really matter if there is encoded video data there or not; it's a "frame" in the video sense, and you can edit on those frame demarcations. Now, since Premiere Pro doesn't do "smart encoding," it doesn't matter whether you edit on a GOP boundary or somewhere in between, all frames will be re-encoded on export. That's no big deal, though; with FCP, you're transcoding twice.
Now, go tell your friend he's being silly and he should come join us

HT3258 what about final cut does not recognize mts file

what about final cut does not recognize mts file

If you have an AVCHD camcorder, you need to select one of the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setups in FCE that matches how you shot the video in your camcorder. (eg, AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 would be appropriate for camcorders produced for North America unless you selected some other video type in the camera's setup.) After selecting the appropriate Easy Setup, create a new sequence then import the video from your camcorder.
If you only have the .mts files themselves (perhaps because you copied them to your hard drive without their entire surrounding AVCHD folder structure), that's another matter. In that case you need Clipwrap or similar app to transcode the .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing them into FCE. You still need to have the correct easy setup in FCE.
It would help to know exactly what make/model camcorder you have, and what model Mac and versions of OS X and QuickTime.

Project Manager not able to view their expenses

Hi all..
Project Manager is not able to view their expenses for a perticular project.
Can any one help..
Cheers..

Performance Report Manager not posting png files

PRM on 3.5.1u1 will not generate png files for scheduled reports. However, when I run the report manually and post manually from the generated report, it works just fine. Any ideas on what I'm missing (directory ownership hasn't changed or anything like that)?

Do an unsetenv on DISPLAY environment variable and restart all services on the server layer from the same shell.
