QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing screen recordings with QuickTime 10.1 that appear to be of good quality until I import into Premiere Pro CS6 and then they display and export very poorly and very blurry to the point that you can't read the text on the page. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Hi Kristine,
Make sure that the clips are positioned on the X,Y axis as whole integers, not integers + decimal points. See if that works for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings are Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing some screen recordings on my Mac using QuickTime 10.1, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro CS6, they are poor quality and blurry. It's difficult to read text and logos on the recordings are showing up fuzzy. Anything I can do to improve the quality with what I have? I'm trying to do a new site demo, so I'd like to have things appear more clearly. I am, however, by no means a video expert or Premiere Pro expert, so a lot of the output names and labels, I'm not familiar with. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

Why won't .avi files import into premiere pro cs6?

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

Issue with importing H.264 files into Premiere Pro CS6

I have some AVI files that will not import into Premiere Pro CS6 (not trial version). The Gspot utility says they are H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format and that the codec is installed. I can see and play the files in Bridge but when I try to import it says “Unsupported format or damaged file”. I tried importing in CS5.5 and the file imported, however only the audio plays. Why is this happening and how can I import these files?

Premiere does not support H.264 in an avi.
You need to convert first.

Importing a Final Cut Pro7's XML into Premiere Pro CS6 - 2

Hello, im trying to import an xml exported from Final Cut Pro 7 into Premiere Pro CS6, but Premiere returns me an error message saying that the sequence cant be opened because the codec cant be accessed.
The codec is Apple Prores 422 (HQ), and also all of the codecs that Final Cut Pro gives, dont appear as an option when Im creating a new project file. Only the standart DV, DVCPRO50 and DVCPROHD are available.
My quicktime is updated, and I already have Final Cut installed.
Can anyone help me please?

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

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.

Can animated titles created in Titlemotion imported into Premiere Pro CS3?

Hi,
We are using Titlemotion Software(Standalone Version)for creating animated titles.
We would want to use these animations into Premiere Pro CS3.
We can save the animations made in Titlemotion as
1) an FX-script,
2) a targa sequence &
3) a '.VIA' format.
'VIA' files created in Titlemotion do not get imported into Premiere Pro CS3, Premiere Pro informs that they are not supported.
Is there any way to import a .VIA file into Premiere Pro CS3?
OR
Is there any work-around wherein animations created in Titlemotion Pro could be taken into Premiere Pro CS3?

Save as a targa sequence with an alpha channel.

REDEPIC (.r3d) files won't import in Premiere Pro CS6

I was recently called upon to edit a project that has already been shot by someone else (who is no longer in the picture for personal reasons). They used a REDEPIC (S35 Mysterium-X I believe) to shoot the files and so now I have all of these (.r3d) files and I can't import them into Premiere Pro CS6. I know that it's an issue with CS6, and I've read that CS6 doesn't support some REDEPIC files, but I was wondering if there was a workaround or an update that I could install that would allow me to work with the files. I downloaded a trial of Premiere Pro CC (2014) and of course it works beautifully, but I got CS6 about 2 years ago (only months before CC came out... of course.) and I was hoping to be able to use it a little bit before having to upgrade.
I also tried opening the files up in REDCINE-X Pro, and them exporting them into Apple Pro Res 422 to import them, but then the audio is just static and I lose anything else.
So if you know either a way to import the .r3d files into Premiere Pro CS6 natively, or you know a better codec or way to export out of REDCINE-X Pro, I would really appreciate it.

I believe that those MOV files are using the H.264 CODEC. You will need to have that installed (comes with later versions of Apple's QT), but even then, might not work in PrPro 1.5. I just do not recall if it supported H.264.
For a bit more background on file formats, this ARTICLE might be useful. For a bit more on CODEC's in general, this ARTICLE might be useful.
Good luck, and hope that PrPro 1.5 does handle H.264.

Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6. Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab. Also get error message when importing to bin.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television. I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this. I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer). When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message. The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them. Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu. They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file. I am aware of this form: Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?
Third- I have watched some adobe video for created the CC files within Premiere. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-closed-captions-within-premiere-pro /
However, I cannot find the "Caption" menu to do so? Where is it?
Am I running into problems because I am not on the Creative Cloud? IF so, is it possible to upgrade and how do i do that. Adobe has made it incredibly difficult to contact anybody.

Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).

Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.

In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

Image sequence of jpegs import into Premiere Pro CC 2014 out of sync!

Ever since I left CS6 to CC 2014, image sequences as jpeg files do not properly import into Premiere in sync anymore. I use Blender 3d to export render scenes as jpegs then convert them to h.264 mpeg4 video clips in Premiere. What happens is that the images upload into Premiere's project tab out of order, even though they are correctly ordered in my hard drive. Improper naming conventions are probably ruled out since their files extensions are _000 types, and I never had a problem importing sequences in CS6 anyways. Still image default duration is set to 1 in the general preferences. Does anyone know what is suggest? Thanks.

Good point, I am importing as separate jpegs each set to one frame, so it's not an image sequence as I thought.
My indeterminate media timebase and sequence are the same (29.97fps), though I have to say that even if they were different I don't see why that would be a problem.
Here is a screen shot of my images just after uploading them into the project tab, it is seen from first to last that file numbers appear out of order such as 066, 054, 072, 058...ect:
Is there anything else I could try?

Why are my images created in Photshop cs6 blurry when insterted into Premiere Pro

I create beuatiful still images in photoshop CS 6 to use in my videos. They are high resoultion raw files that are reized to 16x9 ratio. Once I put them into Premiere Pro they are still fine. When I place them in my timeline and press play on my sequence they instally become blurry.
Please advise?

There could be a few things at play here. But if, as you say, your images go blurry only when you press play, you might take a look at your playback resolution settings. I'm not sure how the most current release works (I haven't installed it due to the several new bugs posted here), however in recent versions there is a separate quality setting for the program monitor when the video is stopped vs. when it is playing back.
