Project Manager: Trimmed wavs Don't Play

I created a truimmed project using Project Manager. The project opens up but all of the wav files are blank! If I open one of them in Windows Media Player I get an error message about not having enough memory. And they are tiny files. Normal wav files open fine in WMP.

I just did a test. I created a project and only put one wav file on the timeline and nothing else. I then used Project Manager to create a trimmed project. I opened the trimmed project and sure enough, the new wav file contained no audio. Any ideas?

  • PP3.0 --Problem Project Manager Trim Software Damages Files

    I have a problem that occurs when a Premiere Pro 3.0 project is trimmed using the project manager software.
    It occurs mostly with non-captured files- with wav files such as narration, music, and sfx  (they can be  Cd 44.1 files and mono and stereo tracks).  Sometimes, it happens with graphics files.  This problem occurs about half the time the project manger software is used.
    In an affected project, there may be any where from 2 to 25 damaged files.  The error message that we get in the trimmed project is “unsupported file formats”.  
    When we open the non-importable audio files in another application like Sound Forge, they are identified as Raw PCM files.  These Raw PCM files frequently have errors-- like random noises.  The ones that don’t have errors can be saved as a wav file and then it can be re-linked and used.
    It is happening on more than one computer.  These computers all have dual 32 bit Xeon processors and at least 3 Gigs of memory.

    Could you give me a little more details about using a file manager?
    I usually think of a file manager as selecting some files to keep and some file to delete.  I don't think that this will work.  Many of the files use only a small portion of the larger file.  Are you suggesting to keep the larger files even though they may be less thn 5% of the total size?

  • Feature Request: Project Manager Trim Compatibility with all formats please!

    It's 2013, Premiere Pro CC is out, and is more "Final Cut Pro" than ever (thanks Adobe), but there are still some basic things that need to be fixed. This is a DOOZY!...
    With DSLR media being used pretty much everywhere, the inability to created trimmed projects using Project Manager for H.264 clips (and GoPro clips, and more!) is simply insane. Seriously?
    Help me Adobe.... please...
    thanks

    Actually, Kevin works right across the San Francisco Bay from where I live. So yes, he is here in the USA.
    You will occasionally get some answers around here from people with Indian names, but we are happy to have them on the forums.
    The conversation about how to deal with the various codecs has been going on for some time, and the more people who request the feature, the more likely they will get it done. I don't like to say that the squeeky wheel gets the grease, but pretty much? It does!
    I know they are thinking about it because of some of the comments I have seen and emails I have received. It appears to be fairly complicated, but personally, I think it is well worth the effort.
    I would like to be able to ingest subclips from Prelude without transcoding (I don't use Prelude because it is useless to me without this feature). Once ingested, if I only use part of a clip, I want it trimmed in the Project Manager to just the footage I might need in the future if I have to make minor adjustments. And yes, that includes handles. So if handles solve part of the problem, that's fine.

  • Project manager trimmed project error

    I am using Premiere CS5, and when I go to project manager and try to "Create New Trimmed Project" it starts and then I get following error:
    "There was a problem copying or trimming the following \\....\..file loaction. Plase make sure you have enough disk space and that you have the correct user privileges to complete the operation."
    I have enough space on all of my HDDs, and also tried opening premiere as administrator.
    I tried this with 2 different projects and the fact is that error comes up with .MOV files that were rendered from after effects.
    Thank you for help

    Hi, Rich.
    I don't have a solution yet. When I couldn't make Project Manager work, I just dragged and dropped my whole project file onto my archive drive. Next time I need to archive a project, I'll see if any of the advice I received on the forum helps. If it does, I'll let you know.
    Cheers, Steve

  • Project Manager Trimmed Temp File Location

    Hello,
    I recently tried to trim down a 100GB project. I had 8GB left on my harddrive, and the project manager said the final project would be 7GB, so I took the chance and started trimming.
    Unfortunately, I ran out of diskspace during the trim, and the Project Manager aborted the action. Fair enough. However, when I checked my diskspace in finder, I only had 100MB free space. That means the temp file, that the project manager created while trimming the project, is still stored somewhere. But I have no idea where it is stored or what it is named.
    I'm on a Mac 10.6.4, CS5.
    Do you know where (or how) to look?
    Thanks,

    Where are your Scratch Disks located?
    What was the Destination Folder, that you directed PrPro to archive your Project?
    Note that performance of a HDD begins to decline at ~ 70% of capacity, and falls off sharply, as one fills the drive. It can also contribute to premature failure of the HDD. Sounds like it's time to get larger, or more HDD's.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • [CS5] Project Manager Trimming not supported for HDV footage?

    Yes, I have the licensed version of CS5 Production Premium.
    The Premiere Pro "Project Manager" allows you to create a "trimmed" version of your project. That is, only the footage actually used in sequences (along with some handles) is placed in the new, trimmed project. For example, I have a project which uses only 1 second of an 11 second HD Quicktime clip.
    original project folder which includes the clip = 352MB.
    trimmed project folder is = 26MB
    My problem is with a similar project using only a small portion of an HDV clip (M2T):
    original project folder = 232MB
    trimmed project folder = 232MB
    There is nothing I can find int the Adobe help file regarding limitations for HDV files with the trim feature. This problem is not limited to CS5. I experienced it also in CS4 but resolving it was not a priority at the time. But I now have a large number of projects I wish to archive.

    Jeremy, I am assuming that this is harder to solve, because it gets into Premiere and/or the mainconcept codec being used, not providing smart rendering.  You can't just take the middle of an mpeg clip without rendering.  Premiere could do this, but there would be a quality hit.  Is there any chance we will see a more sophisticated approach to mpeg inside Premiere?  And I am also interested in whether the long gop formats are/might be addressed differently from others.
    Todd, here is the CS5 help file that should have this.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c74a .html
    And it does not.
    In earlier versions (I'm still CS3, and I think it was CS3 in which there was this discussion), I found that you could not work around this by creating a subclip.  In fact, the original full clip would be repeated for each instance of the subclip.
    If someone adds a comment to this help entry, and it is a weak attempt, do you edit the comment so that the help file is most useful?

  • Project Manager wavs Won't Play

    I'm trimming projects using Project Manager but the resulting wavs don't play. Something about a specific module missing. All the avis play. All the mp3s play. What's going on?

    I just did a test. I created a project and only put one wav file on the timeline and nothing else. I then used Project Manager to create a trimmed project. I opened the trimmed project and sure enough, the new wav file contained no audio. Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Creating Trimmed Project in Project Manager

    When I select "Create New Trimmed Project", the resulting project size is exactly the same as the original project even though the sequence only uses a small fraction of the footage in the project. Am I doing something wrong?

    Collected media is what I expected to be dramatically smaller, but all of the media files are exactly the same size in both the original folder and the new folder than contains the "trimmed" project.(4.5GB).
    Before trimming, the project manager reports the original project size as well as the estimated trimmed project size to be 4.5GB.
    When I added the clips to the timeline, I used "set in point" and "set out point" in the source frame and then dragged the clip to the timeline. This is the way I have always done it, but this is the first time I am trying to create a trimmed project, so maybe it is not the correct way.
    The option "Create New Trimmed Project" is what I have selected in the project manager.

  • Using Project Manager to export a trimmed SD IMX-50 sequence, no reduction in file size is achieved.

    Attempting to export a trimmed Project Managed version of a network promo containing NTSC/SD IMX-50 footage.  The source file is 9 GB raw, the resulting trimmed 30-second spot should be under a gig, but Project Manager won't reduce/trim the source.

    Are you using the "Create New Trimmed Project" option in a version of Premiere Pro that is CC 2014 (8.0) or earlier? If so, the "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:

  • 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.

  • Project Manager does not slip clips in timeline (references pre-trimmed timecode)

    Using project manager to trim down 100GB worth of ProRes 444 footage, the footage gets trimmed and imported back into the project fine using no handles but the clips on the timeline still reference the timecode of the old pre-trimmed media. All the clips on the timeline are crosshatched.
    As I set it to trim with no handles I can slip each clip to the start but if there were any handles on the trimmed media this would be a nighmare.

    Hi benita,
    It should be working as expected, sorry you are having trouble. It looks like the common denominators are ProRes footage and Premiere Pro CC (7.1). This is happening on both Mac and PC.
