Question- How to use HDV files in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone, I am new to using Mac's and the Adobe range as I have just started a course in film and television production.
I have recorded footage on a mini DV tape, in PAL HDV mpeg format, and transferred the footage from Tape to Digital Hard Disk at University (where it plays on Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5) but it will not respond once I add it to a sequence in Premiere or try to preview on my home laptop. There is no video or sound when I try to open using my laptop (just an empty black bar when I add to a sequence).
I have tried to find the answer or a Codec but with no success and I am trying to avoid working on the project on campus as I live an hour away and just spent a lot on the computer to avoid such trips.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also I should add that the files play perfectly when I open them using Quick Time and the update option in Premiere is greyed out (not available)
thanks for your time

Hey Bill, thanks for the reply.
I am including some screenshots from Premiere.
I have contacted the seller I purchased the package from to check what he says, I cannot delete Premiere at this stage as I don't have a physical copy to reinstall
Also I see nowhere to upgrade or register the program
Also I have completed [projects using this version of Premiere with no issue, only they were not in HDV format.
Thanks for your time

How to import Illustrator files to Premiere Pro (keeping layers)

Hi guys help me please. How can I import Ai files to Premiere Pro and keeping all the layers!
Thank you!

To open the Ai layers for individual use in Premiere you can export the project from Illustrator to a psd file and then import that into Premiere. But It has to start as an rgb color model or Pr gives a generic error and will not open it.

How to use VST Plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 in Adobe Audition 3.0 ?

I have tried to use VST plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 into Adobe Audition 3.0, but could not use it.Is any method to use them ?

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't do this at all - Adobe lock all their VST effects so that they only work with the app they were intended for. Which also means, of course, that you can't use Audition VST plugins with any other software either. Since Audition isn't currently in the CS, there isn't even an exception there, I suspect.

How to use F4V Files with Premiere 5.5

Hey all,
I work at a small company that does live streaming of video. We are experimenting with new HD cameras and have found that our best results for streaming has been to use h.264. We are having fantastic results with this, however, Using Flash Meda Live Encoder the end result is an .f4v file. I don't have much experience with this variation of .flv, but I'm honestly finding it quite useless.
I understand that you don't typically edit this type of file, that it is in a sense working backwards. However, our situation is that our streaming quality is highest when we use this format. Obviously, I am unable to get this file into premiere to edit it. I'm actualy unable to play it virtually anywhere as well (moyea converter, moyea flv player, vlc...nothing plays it).
Does anyone have any suggestions as far as where to go from here? I know there is probably a lot more info required for anyone to give me some feedback, so let me know what you need to know about our equipment/settings and I'll supply it.
Thanks for the help!

@Jim Unfortuntaley, it's not practical for us to encode two files, one streaming and one capturing in a different format.
I do appreciate the help though.
@John That program looks cool, however that doesn't help either because we stream LIVE video. So I need to be encoding through FMLE or WME if I'm doing a windows file.
I actually had some progress using the adobe f4v post processor. I was able to convert the file into another f4v file that was able to import into Premiere. However, once I import it, I get no audio on my file. When I play the file, there is audio, but again when I import it into Premiere, no audio at all.
This seems to be a common problem and a potential bug. But if anyone has any further input, im VERY close to having success if I can only get my audio in there. (I do know I could get the audio into premiere by itself, but I'm trying to create a workflow that I can bring to my boss. He won't be a big fan of having many steps to get everything into Adobe)

Quick question - how to use flat files OWB 10gR2

Sorry, really dumb question here. I'm using the OWB client on my windows machine, but the database is on a separate UNIX box.
The data file I'm trying to access is in
/usr/local/test
and the DBA's have created a directory object ("TEST") inside the database with read privs on that /usr/local/test directory.
Given all that, exactly what do I need to do to:
a) create the file location in OWB
b) "see" the flat file in it
When I try to set the directory up, it seems like the client is looking at my local drive instead of connecting to the Unix box?
Thx,
Scott

Indeed... if you use the Import metadata wizard, it will look for the flat files on your local machine, but this is only for you to define the layout of this file... when you actually read this file (in a process flow for example) the flat file must be on the server where your OWB repository is installed... notice that this is not necessarily the same server where your database is running.

How To Import .THM Files Into Premiere Pro CS5

Hello:
I just purchased a Canon Vixia HFM50. When I use the presets, there is support for the AVCHD format. The file extension for the AVCHD format from the Canon is *.THM. Yet, that file type is not recognized. How do I import it?
Regards,
Rich Locus

Hi Rich Locus,
Thanks for your post. THM is an image file format for thumbnails. Images are made smaller for browsing purposes, usually because it is easier to view and takes less time to load.
THM files can be viewed by most image preview or editing programs on both Macs and PCs. THM files are similar to .JPEG files, and those .
THM files representing image files can usually be converted to JPEG format by changing the name of the file from .THM to .JPEG or .JPG.
THM files can also be used by videos. When extracting a video file from a camcorder, a thumbnail will be created to represent the video, usually taken from the video’s first frame.
The .THM file will then have the same name as the .AVI file that it represents. With Canon-created video files, the .THM file also contains the metadata for the video, and therefore needs to remain with and have the same name as the .AVI file. Please update if changing the extension of the file works.
Regards,
Vinay

How to open .mkv file in premiere pro 5.5

having trouble opening .mkv files?

I would look into converting them.
There are two, rather long and convoluted MKV threads here (could be in the CS4 forum?), and IIRC, there were some converters, that proved useful to others. Ignore the arguments for/against MKV, and just concentrate on the recommendations.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to Import VOB files into Premiere Pro?

No Audio File in Premiere Pro CS6

I have a Sony NX30. I use the sony media importer to get the files on my computer and then use the files in Premiere Pro CS6. Everything works fine.
I have a new desktop computer. Same windows OS. I installed the exact same sony media importer and the exact same Premiere Pro CS6. But on the new computer, when I import a video (using the sony media importer) there is no sound in Premiere Pro. Not even an audio file. Just the video file.
Here is what I learned while trouble shooting:
I can play the video files using the windows media player and I can hear the sound. The sound is there.
I tested some older video files previously imported on my old computer and they worked just fine on the new computer. I could hear the sound and there was a sound file in Pr.
The files I originally tried to import onto the new computer (that had no sound in Pr CS6) I imported on the old computer and they played just fine in Pr.
The newly imported files on the old computer will not play sound when I try them on the new computer (I put the files on an external hard drive and move them on the new computer.)
FYI: the sony media importer has no settings, you just click import amd it works.There are no options to change anything.
Anybody have a clue what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Steve

How to use batch files to send the load from ODC to UCM?

Hello all.
We're trying to do this along this week and, until now, we couldn't figure out how to use batch files containing metada on ODC and commit the output files to UCM.
So these are our specs:
VM 1
ODC - 10gR3
OS - Windows XP 32 bits SP3
DB - Oracle DB 11.2
VM 2
No ODC
UCM 11.1.1.6
OS - Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
We've opened a ticket with Oracle Support to know how we should do this. The number is SR 3-6108348211.
Let me try to explain what we want to do:
1 - we have a batch file with all metadata of many files from UCM
2 - we want to use this file in ODC, so the application will convert the images and commit them to UCM
3 - we should see all these files, their metadata, thumbnails and related content in UCM
4 - this is a batch file example we want to send to ODC:
@Properties LocalData
IdcService=CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL
dRevLabel = 1
primaryFile=/tra/Relatorio_UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA.pdf
dDocName=TRA_33
dDocTitle=UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA
dSecurityGroup=MAM_TRA
dDocType=Document
dDocAuthor=luis.neotropical
dInDate=14/05/08
xC_CLASSIFICACAO=EA - Educação Ambiental
xC_DATA=01/04/08
xC_DATAVALIDADE=30/04/08
xC_LOCALIZACAOFISICA=N/D
xC_USUARIO_DEP=LUIS FERNANDO DA CAMARA
xC_TIPO=RL - Relatório
xC_USINA=UHPF - USINA HIDRELÉTRICA PASSO FUNDO

xC_IDDOCMAN=TRADocID=157

xC_DESTINOINICIAL=Tractebel
xC_ORIGEM=Neotropical
xC_FORMATODOCUMENTO=Digital
xC_GENERODOCUMENTO=
xC_DOCPRINCIPAL=Sim
@end
<<EOD>>
5 - So, when we use this batch file on ODC, the file (or image) will be converted, all metadata attached and then sent to UCM.
But we don't know how to do the link between ODC and UCM. The Oracle Support says it is necessary to do some customization. In the books I could not find any info about how to do, just generic information or how to use ODC.
Is there a way (without customization) to do that? Can anyone give us a step-by-step guide?
Thanks for all help and guidance.
Fernando

What is the one-sentence requirement or issue you're trying to solve?
If you only want content to be converted to pdf, then you should already have that with your items checked into UCM (if you have IBR enabled).
if you really want to feed content into ODC using a batchfile, my first thought would be to create a transformation utility/app that will convert your batchfiles to the expected ODC import server folder job format. then you'll have to move or map the content to match.
Again, without knowing the exact issue/business requirement you're trying to work through, I'd say a redesign of your ingestion process may be in order.
If you feed content directly into ODC through any supported ODC method (watch folder, email, scanner, fax, etc), then you'll be able to use everything ootb as you'll be able to auto-commit directly into UCM or add an indexing step and manual commit to UCM.
ODC is basically a front end for indexing and extra ingestion options to your content repo.
IPM is basically the same, but it includes some extra process-related details (process metadata, process integrations/bpel/bpm, other system integrations/ebs/crm, etc). I don't feel that IPM would help with the transformation-specific question you've put out there.

How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't support MKV formats. To import MKV to Premiere Pro CS6, a recommended solution is to convert MKV to AVI.
I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert MKV to AVI. Finally, I summarised three solutions:
First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app. It supports nearly any videos including MKV format and has Mac version and Windows version.
Cons:
1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;
2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.
Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting MKV to AVI. I just test one of them. It's professional yet easy to use and the service is excellent. And there is a step by step guide about how to use this tool .
Cons:
1. Most of them are not free.
Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.
Cons:
1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;
2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.
