Psf (ProRes 422 HQ) import/interpret in Premiere CS6

Hello...
I recorded with an AJA KiPro Mini through a Sony FS-100 over HDMI.
It didn't work out the way I wanted, because the KiPro wasn't set to work with the FS-100 in a way.
So I recorded Quicktime-files in ProRes 422 (HQ) with Progressive Segmented Frames (because that was the only setup that worked).
The problem is now that Adobe Premiere CS6 doesn't seem to interpret the footage the way it should: it looks interlaced.
As far as I know all "Interpret Footage" options look the way they should:
"Field order | Use Field Order from File: No Fields (Progressive Scan)"
And whatever I change at "Conform to" - it doesn't help.
So I wonder if Premiere cannot handle psf-Import?
Only found people who wanted to export psf-files but not import them.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks alot,
Max
btw: Allan Tépper wrote some nice instructions/informations to handle psf-files but unfortunately it didn't work in my case. And the software (ClipWrap) he suggests doesn't work with mov-files.
http://provideocoalition.com/atepper/story/psf8217s_missing_workflow_em_part_1_benign_psf_ versus_malignant_psf/

The camera was set to record 1080p50.
But as far as I know it doesn't make any difference for the KiPro what your shooting format is.
So beside the psf-mov-files I have the avchd-files in 1080p50 now.
It was meant to be the backup but as a matter of these psf-problems I work with avchd right now. They look better than the not right interpretated psf-files. As long as I do not make to much color corrections I guess.

Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

Hi,
I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

MXF files won't import into Adobe Premiere CS6

I can't get mxf files to open in Adobe Premiere CS6. I'm working on the newest Mac Book Pro- OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I tried importing the files through the media browser but I can't open them that way either. I see the mxf video icon but when I try to open it I get this error message -"the importer reported a generic error." I ran all the updates for adobe and apple, but still these files don't open. Help please.

If I double click on the word holiday, it just shows the file folders. In the file folders the mxf files still don't open.

Codec Problem Import Videodateien avi Premiere CS6

Guten Tag,
obwohl ich viel im Internet dazu gefunden habe, konnte ich folgendes Problem bisher nicht lösen: Premiere weigert sich, 2 von 5 Dateien auf einer Übungsdvd (für CS6!) zu importieren. Diese sind in avi. wie die akzeptierten files. Ein codec ist nich zulässig . Was kann ich da tun?
Hilft mir der Media Encoder dabei? (Habs versucht, aber der konvertiert bisher auch nicht. Selbe Fehlermeldung). Verschiedene Player habe ich auch versucht, dadurch importiert Premiere aber die Datei trotzdem nicht. Weiss jemand, was ich tun kann? Das wäre prima! P.S. Ich bin absoluter Neuling in Sachen Premiere.

Hallo,
die Endung avi sagt noch lange nichts über den verwendeten Codec aus. AVI ist nur ein sogenanntes Containerformat.
Es gibt Tools, mit denen du das Material analysieren und den Codec ermitteln kannst. Schau mal hier: http://jkdigital.de/videoanalyse-mit-videospec/.
Unter Umständen sind die Dateien einfach auch nur kaputt, bzw. es kommt zu Lesefehlern im Bereich der DVD.

"Importer reported a generic error" message while importing ProRes 422 clip

Hi all. I am getting an "Importer reported a generic error" message when I try to import a ProRes 422, linear PCM clip into Premiere Pro CS6. I have imported other ProRes 422 clips in previous projects without a problem, although those clips did not have the linear PCM codec included. I have tried to solve the problem using advice on other forum threads. Changing the file name did not work. Removing underscores in the file name did not work either. Copying the file and pasting to a different folder before re-importing did not work either. The file DOES open in AE, but I am getting the error message without fail when I try to import into Premiere. Any thoughts on how to remedy the situation? FYI - I am still running version 6.0.0 of Premiere. Thanks for your help!

Try going to Help | Deactivate in Pr. Close Pr. Reboot. Launch Pr and activate if requested. That procedure has helped some users restore missing codecs and presets, maybe it'll help your Dynamic Link.

Canon XF Import Causes Premiere CS6 to Crash. Help!

I purchased a Canon XF300 to work specifically with Premiere CS6 as Adobe claims native support for MXF files.
Unfortunately, whenever I import footage from the XF300 into Premiere, it causes Premiere to crash.
This happens no matter what method I use to import the files... using XF Ultility, using Prelude, clicking on import in the Premiere CS6 media browser, opening the files in the media browser and dragging and dropping into a bin. It doesn't matter. The crash still happens.
This is not an issue with spanned clips as it happens even without spanned clips.
After importing the clips into a bin, the bin has trouble drawing thumbnails for all the clips, usually but not always the ones not initially visible in the bin window. The thumbnails don't appear, just gray boxes. Scrolling down and clicking on the gray boxes, even after waiting several minutes for the system to "catch up," causes a crash.
This is a repeatable problem that *only* happens when using Canon MXF footage. Every other codec I've tried works just fine. The Canon footage never works.
I am on a Mid-2012 Mac Pro 2x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Inten Xeon computer running 64GB of Ram on OSX 10.8.3, using Premiere 6.0.2 Creative Cloud. I use a Matrox MX02 for I/O and a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 with CUDA Driver 5.0.59.
I've troubleshot this problem to death, stripping everything from the machine down to its original factory state (no extra RAM, no NVIDIA card, no Matrox I/O etc.) and the system still crashes every single time I try to import the MXF footage, no matter what method I use. The only workaround is to transcode to ProRes and that's not acceptable.
Am I the only one having this issue? Is there something glaringly obvious I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance for any assistance or perspective. I am growing increasingly frustrated as I feel Adobe has a software problem here they're not addressing.

That's the thing. The system drive has plenty of space... 762Gb out of 1TB available. All the HDs have a ton of space on them. This has happened since Day 1 when the entire system was brand new.
And only with Canon XF files. No other codec produces behavior even remotely similar on my system. It's baffling because everyhting is up to spec as far as I can determine and yet the problem persists.
Limiting the number of clips in a bin is unworkable because of the type of work I'm doing. Transcoding is the only answer at this point but I really would like to know what's causing this.
I really wish Adobe could try to recreate the problem. Does anyone else out there using Mac OSX and CS6 have trouble with XF files? Is it a known issue?

How do I set up stereo audio tracks as default in Premiere using the ProRes 422 codec?

Forgive me if this has been asked many times before. I have searched but can't find anything that explains it in language that doesn't require an advanced degree in computer engineering.
I am a recent convert for our beloved FCP 7. I am learning to love Premiere dearly - but the audio part of it drives me nuts.
I have exported from FCP a series of files as ProRes 422 movies with stereo audio tracks. I want to bring them into Premiere in the same way. But when I do it squashed everything into a single audio file.
This plays havoc with the panning - especially in mixes that have stereo music mixes. Apart from that it just confuses me.
Also. when I create a new project from scratch in Premiere and I select the custom ProRes 422 setting it only allows ProRes 422 mono audio. I don't see a codec for anything else (ie. stereo).
Am I missing something?
I have looked in all the preferences areas and can't find anywhere to change this. I just want to be able to import simple, basic two track audio (and have it show up the same) as I would in FCP, ProTools and the myriad other editing programs I use.
I also want to be able to set up a basic two track stereo timeline/sequence without having to reinvent the wheel.
Many thanks for any help and your patience. I am slowly tearing my hair out and spending long periods sitting in the corner hugging my knees and weeping.
My specs. Preferred editing codec: ProRes 422
Premiere pro version CS6 (6.05)
Thanks again.

Go to the Project Panel, select all clips and rightclick/modify/audio channels.
Set it to 2 tack and mono.
When you drop the clip onto the timeline the stereo will come in on two tracks.
You can also set this to default in the Preferences under Audio (before importing the clips) (Stereo set to mono).

ProRes 422 MOV files offline in Adobe Media Encoder 2014 (but online in Premiere)

The question is NOT about exporting PreRes files from a Windows PC, which is what I keep finding in my searches.
My client gave me ProRes 422 MOV files. I imported them into Premiere Pro CC 2014. I could see and edit them fine. But when I export them via Adobe Media Encoder, they appear to be offline. BTW, other media sources exported fine, such as the PNGs and JPGs I cut to. (I don't think it matters, but I'm attempting to make h.462 mp4s, which I do all the time, and have done with ProRes sources before using CC 2014.)
I tried exporting a short video clip (using same ProRes 422 source) from Premiere and it worked fine. Why not Adobe Media Encoder? I need to encode batches of videos with ProRes sources overnight, so exporting from Premiere is not a good option.
I'm on a Win 7 PC and I have QT Pro and iTunes (which I think also installs codecs).

Everything seems to be working fine now, though I don’t know why. I did update my iTunes (which I’d rather not even have installed on my PC because I never use it, but removing it seems to mess things up). I’ll also make sure to keep my QT updated. I thought it was because I upgraded to the paid version a couple months ago hoping to fix a similar problem, but again, it seemed to get fixed when I updated iTunes.
Thanks for getting back to me!

ProRes 422 file "corrupt" in Premiere (and Quicktime & VLC) but not in After Effects

We recorded a lengthy (c.90minute) seminar on an EX3 and an Atomos Samurai, to ProRes 422. We've noticed that the file glitches when it's played back in anything real-time, such as Premiere, VLC or Quicktime (we don't have a copy of FCP to test it on). What happens is that less than a second of picture will loop and stutter continuously for, say, 30 seconds, while the audio is just white noise. This happens seemingly at random (although at the same place in whichever software we're playing it back on), and infrequently: so far, in 90 minutes of footage we've found one 30" section which does this, and a few examples of it happening for a second or two.
BUT: as an experiment I tried importing the clip into AE, and it plays fine. I've been able to export a 1-minute long "patch" to a 4:2:2 MXF which doesn't glitch, which we've reimported into Premiere with no issues. Is there any reason why this should be - I had assumed that Premiere and AE would share the same low-level code used for playing back video, or is this not the case? Is it something to do with the fact that Premiere's trying to play it back in real-time while AE isn't?
Obviously, it's not a workable solution to have to keep running footage through AE. Is this a bug, or just one of those things?
Cheers
Nick

It is not the case.

That was my thought, too, given that even VLC stumbles on the clip. AE basically 'renders' everything for playback.

ProRes 422 & Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 Playback

I am a long-term user of CS5
Recently started using ProRes 422 footage, (LT in order to keep file size a little smaller). The footage is taken from a Ninja2 via the HDMI of a Sony HVR Z5.
I do a lot of post work on my projects and the native mpeg2 8 bit from the HVR would not hold out too well. Apart from that, I had no previous performance issues using mpeg 2 files.
Now the ProRes 422 footage in the preview window and in the timeline of PremPro is stuttering and won't play smoothly for more than a couple of seconds at a time. This has become progressively worse as the timeline has grown.
I use a single video track (I don't stack or nest) and often use 4-5 audio tracks ( 24bit .WAV) plus a stereo channel from the Ninja2. Audio settings within the project are 32 bit floating.
Average Data Rate of the ProRes (LT) Video File is 8.9 MB/s. Source Audio is 48KHz 16 Bit.
Edit Workstation system (exclusive, no other use):
Triple Channel 24GB 1600 RAM
i7 970 (Hex) 3.2GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 580
MB Gigabyte X58 (No Overclocking)
SSD OS & Programs
4 x 500 GB Sata2 Caviar Black RAID 0 media scratch disk and cache (Software RAID - no hardware controller). The RAID is striped at 128Kb.
1 x 1TB Sata2 Caviar Black project files
CPU Temps 44-46 C
System Temps 41 C
Graphics Temps 58-60 C
Disk Temps 30-40 C
The disk access times during playback are often less than 5 ms. Quick Bench (8MB zone) test gives RAID 0 Average Read Time of 642 MB/s, Random Access Time of 14 ms, and Burst Speed of 3411MB/s. CPU Utilisation is 2%. CPU system usage is fairly low as is the RAM demand with 50% often unused. 18Gb of RAM is allocated to Adobe programs (After Effects & Prem Pro) with 6GB available for other things.
I am using no external monitor interfaces.
The ProRes footage is imported into Prem Pro and the sequence setting is automatically created by dragging the ProRes file into the New Item folder.
The project sequence created by Premiere Pro is AVCHD 1080i Square Pixels 1920 x 1080, Upper Field First 25 fps (PAL) which is correct for me in the UK.
This works out fine as I have additional footage from a Sony NX5 which is AVCHD and happy with those sequence settings - I get smooth playback from the NX5 in both the preview window and the timeline. The resulting timeline bar colour is Yellow for both footage. If the Pro Res footage is rendered on the timeline (green bar) playback is fine. The render codec is by default I-Frame Only MPEG.
At the start of the project, the playback seemed fine, but now I am about 35 minutes in and the whole thing has ground to a stuttery conclusion.
The footage in the preview window scrubs and jogs fine, but plays for about a second or two then stutters, as does the timeline. I would expect my system to easily handle the Pros Res footage - but it doesn't.
Any similar experiences out there?

1. With that much footage, I might set previews to render to my output size, so as to cut down on final render time.
2. 112gb! Holy Crap! I hope you're on a fast RAID drive with that! Otherwise saying you're headed up $*it creek without a paddle doesn't quite cover it... ...more like drowning in the $*it ocean.
With that much information you're almost always better off utilizing a rendered file rather than relying on your dynamic link. If playback is choppy, you need to be able to render to a drive that isn't "Busy" while you're playing from it. I've found that using separate RAID for my main project file, and my original or AE assets allows me to render out the previews to a non-busy drive, making the output faster, and the playback faster when reading it.
Dynamic linkage is great... ...if you're going to be making more changes to that piece, leave it as is and play it back, if not, RENDER THE EFFECT, or RENDER A WORK AREA set to the clip you're editing. If you're done for the day, render the whole damned thing and leave it until you come back. Rendered effects will play back faster than active process effects (renders are already in the video, set into it as if native to it; active process edits aren't in the video, they are applied as it is played back, and require more processing so they slow things down), and when you come back from lunch or from home, you'll have a freshly rendered slate to preview. This means you'll be able to show off for the client by morning. Need a Web-capable rendering for a status update you're sending to a client, DUPE the sequence, change the preview on the DUPE to match some web capable settings with smaller frame height\width resolution and compress the hell out of it. Youtube can play it back pretty well, and vimeo also, and you'll be able to upload it in 2-4 hours (if your system is archaic like mine, smaller video outputs great). Personally, I've found comps with AE to be a pain when trying to link and playback. Render a work area around the comp if you're going to play it back. IF you want to preview a whole section, Dupe the Sequence and use the Dupe to NEST the SECTION (create a trim or edit mark at the beginning and end of the section you wish to preview, select everything between the markers, right click and select nest), and you can use AME to render a small preview file, so you don't interrupt the rest of your work.
I work with more sound quality constraint than video, and the sound quality has to be real, while the video does not need to be perfect (doesn't mean I don't damn well try; I've really just begun my journey into this world, and have only begun to use prores, but found some pitfalls to experiment and solve). I start with whatever I'm given, go to prores, edit with a prores proxy preview at ¼ the input size, and render out once just to get started. The effects values are applied to the preview in playback, easing the playback stutter, and allowing me to work fluidly on a laptop mac with an intel core2 2.16ghz with a geforce gfx card at 256mbvram and 4gb of system ram, with (hardware hack) 2 internal drives each at 1tb, one for main use, and one for housing my project files. Using an old esata express card raid box, I get great speed from the playback by storing the previews on RAID, while all the other files are housed on my secondary internal drive. With multi cam AV, you need to be able to store the main clips on different drives, or on a raid store (ideally on separate RAID stores) in order to play them back while cutting them together. However, once cut, you should render out the preview in it's entirety, and start your other edits from that point. Then you can render just the effects and still get great playback.
If you don't see Prores in your preview box, get the AME prores presets from the adobe site, and you can place them by hand into your app (the folder should be the EncoderPresets folder in the program files on windows, on mac open the .app by right click and select show package contents>contents folder>settings>EncoderPresets and paste the .epr files there by hand). Then open up premiere and you should be able to use prores proxy for your previews and export. I like to export to prores and then use handbrake to export to x264 with --fake-interlaced set up so I can use it as a transcode for Encore. Just keep your blu-ray data rates under 35mbps and you should be fine.

Can Not Import Apple ProRes 422 HQ Files Into Color

I am able to navigate to the files I want to import and they then show up in the Setup window, but when I highlight a clip and then select the Import button, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? These clips are from a Canon 7D and then converted to Apple ProRes 422 HQ.

Check your "Shots" bin to see if they are importing, but are not in the timeline window. They could be importing, but simply aren't where you expect them to be. The timeline preview doesn't adapt, so it could simply be a matter of zooming or scrolling around to find them.
If they really, really aren't importing, then its likely some kind of hiccup in the conversion that COLOR doesn't like. When you select the clip in the COLOR browser it is identified and may or may not qualify for import. What is COLOR interpreting the media to be?
Is your timeline locked?

How do I set up Premiere as ProRes 422 at 1440 x 1080?

Hello.
I am still on the learning curve for Premiere Pro having held out on FCP 7 for as long as possible.
Anyway.
I need to edit a project that was shot on HDV.
It was originally captured as ProRes 422 in FCP at 1440x 1080. I am now importing the video files into Premiere.
I want to continue to edit in ProRes 422 at 1440 x 1080.
I have the ProRes 422 codec installed for Premiere but I can't figure out how to change it from its default of 1920 x1080. When I change the 1920 to 1440 it changes the 1080 to 810.
I might be doing this in the wrong place. I am attempting to change it in the sequence settings under video previews. I can't seem to find anywhere else to change it.
Can someone please advise?
Many thanks.

Open a matching Sequence by dropping the clip on the "NEW ITEM" Icon at bottom of the Project Panel.

Can't import .mov prores 422

I'm trying to import a .mov file and keep getting the message "No importable files"
I did some reading on the forums and there seems to be no reason I shouldn't be able to import as the file is ProRes 422
Any thoughts?

No I've had FCPX for a couple years with no changes. I don't use it much cause I don't like it, but am stuck at home today - I usually use 7 at my school. Just wanted to mess around with this file...not worth the 4 hours that have gone into trying to figure this out lol
What kind of sample? It's a pretty huge file - 29gigs

ProRes 422 and AIC import on MacBook Pro

I need to import 24p from a Canon HV20 and remove the pulldown in Compressor. There is technical note in the Knowledge Base on how to do this using ProREs 422, but the system specifications for ProRes 422 are a dual Xeon chip (Mac Pro), Can I either use ProRes 422 on a Macbook Pro or can I use another intermediate such as AIC?

Yes, the technical specs say that you can easily use ProRes 422 on a MacBook Pro but they seem it indicate that capturing it may be a problem. I have been online with Apple and they say that I can use a different intermediate but not Pro Res 422 - has anyone tired using PropRes 422 on Macbook Pros?
