Recording voiceovers in Premier Pro

does anybody know how to record voiceovers in Premier Pro???? What do you use? On a mac?

Yeah, that is on my list today. I have one of those Logitech plug-&-play usb mics. I have a suspicion that it has to do with the USB interface, or trying to get signal into Prem Pro through a usb interface. Accordingly, also on my list is to out put sound from the Fast Track Pro outputs (not usb) to the line-in on the Mac Pro and see if Prem. will accept that.
Thanks Collin, I'll post back with updates.
MY HEAD HURTS!

Audio recording problem in premier pro cs4

The audio (voice using microphone) I have recorded using the sound mixer in premier pro plays back at a high speed for some reason. The voice sounds like "Alvin from the Chipmonks". Can anyone explain why this is happening?
Joe

Joe,
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, so more folk will see it and can respond.
Now, did you use a USB mic? Many have had issues with those.
Also, going back about a year, there was a similar thread, and the description was about the same - "chipmunk." I do not recall the flow of that thread, or the resolution, but will try to find it. I just hope that it was not before the forum changeover, as it is likely gone forever.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] OK, I think that this is the THREAD.

Edit .mts / H.264 file in premier pro and preserve time of recording (typical timedateoriginal meta)

There is a similar discusion in this thread, but I though i start a new focused thread, and sum up
Similar thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4212491#4212491
This is what i want to acheive:
My AVCHD camcorder generated a bunch of ,mts files.
I want to merge these into a single file, edit it in premier pro and generate a video in which the subtitle track contains the time of recording.
This is what i can do:
I can merge all .mts into a single .mts with the help of tsmux
I can then extract the timedateorginal meta codes of this file with all the recording dates and times with the help of subtitlemaker (url in my entry in the thread above) and make a subtile .txt file.
I can then add the subtitle track to the .mts file in Adobe Encore and i'm done!
But here is my problem:
I want to edit the clips. I can not do that in encore, i need premier pro for that.
However, if i start to edit .mts in premier pro, it seems i lose the meta data which contains time of recording.
Even if i go the really cumbersome way of editing each original .mts files individually (auch)..I still have the same problem.
HELP !
In my DV days life were easy:
Import the 9Gbps single DV file into premier pro.
edit the whole thing.
export as DV
run through http://paul.glagla.free.fr/fichiers/dvdate_71en.zip and generate a subtitle file which contains the time of recording dates and times for the video.
add subtitle to the video in encore, done.
I appriciate any solution. I don't think i am the only one with this problem. I have googled really hard to find a solution, but have had no luck.
Thanks...
Per

So..for anyone who has the same problem and find this thread, here are my 2pence.
I want to make a home move of our last 5 skiing vacations. I want a subtitle track containing the time of recording information.
I do not want a title overlay on the video, but when the discussion about 'when was that--!?' comes up, i want to be able to turn on subtitle. Simple !
I moved from DV to AVCHD (not because of HD Jim, but the DV camcorder was old, and newer seemed better at the time)
Hence my new problem: I have a bunch of .mts files, i need to edit those in a timeline editor, and get a subtitle track with the recording time.
recording time is in the -mts video meta data called timedateoriginal. To some extend also file attribute date of change (=time of writing to the SD card).
As it seems difficult to keep the meta data once you passed a timeline editor, and the file attribute does not make sense when you put a bunch of .mts files together, I think the best way forward is to find a timeline editor which also has subtitle tracks.
i.e. after steps 1) and 2) in my i have a single file and a .srt subtitle file to match.
I can now use those in a timeline editor.
Hunt is out for which editor, but it seems there are a couple of options. To be tested.
Once the sequence is edited, the new version of the subtitle needed to be exported so that it can be imported into adobe encore together with the final sequence for DVD/blu-ray authoring.
If anyone find a better way,, please let me know.
thanks...

Can Premier Pro CS6 directly record 12 hour duration DV video?

I have a question before I invest in Premier Pro CS6.
Can you record continuous DV video directly into Premiere Pro CS6?
This is my task and my current method: I record all night video from an analog Watec camera that passes through a Canopus analog to digital converter and the DV stream then feeds into a Mac running iMovie 6. iMovie 6 records continuous 2 GB clips through the night. At the end of the night then I have an iMovie project that is about 140 GB comprised of individual 2 GB files.
Can Premier Pro CS6 do this task?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Jim wrote: "What makes you think one file is "too large too work with"?
When I tried recording all night using iMovie 9 ( or whatever post iMovie 6 version) with my 2007 iMac it had a tendency to crash at some point in the night.
I have run iMovie 6 nightly for the past six years with hardly ever a glitch. If it did glitch then the recorded 2 GB files would at least be available in recovery.
That is just my experience but I am getting ready to get a new iMac which may be better able to record a 140 GB single file.

Is the media on an external drive?

Footage will just not play in Premier Pro CS 5

I am importing footage into Adobe Premier Pro CS 5 version on a Mac 10.6, but it doesn't matter what file format I convert it into or what sequence settings I try I cannot get the footage to play! It's recorded on a Sony Handycam HDR-XR200E in AVCHD format as an MTS file. I have converted it into .mov, avi and mpeg4 formats but still nothing seems to work! It's not a trial version of CS 5 so the AVCHD should not be a problem. I have also tried all the sequence settings and nada! The footage jumps for 2 seconds and then just freezes.
Not sure how to proceed. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

tamzynd, what are the specs of your mac? sounds like Premiere is choking on the footage.
Can you play other type of vision (e.g. a plain old AVI file from a DV camera)?
is your footage on the internal drive or on an external disk?

I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
close the program down.
Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
as I am not able to record my movie.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards.

Newbie with premier pro on a mac and AVCHD

hello all
my head is swirling with all the info on this forum, so I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions.
first my system - new macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, 2 gb of ram, mac osx 10.5.5. I run in "hi performance" mode, for maximum video performance.
premier pro CS4.0.0
camera: canon hf11 vixia
drive where I'm parking the video: g tech g raid 1 terrabyte, FW800.
so people tell me that my system is plenty powerful enough to playback my vids in the timeline without stuttering.
I'm shooting at 24p with the CINE preset on the camera. resolution is set at FXP, which is 1920x1080, 17 mbps.
I copy the MTS files from the camera over to the raid in the finder. then I create a new project, and in the new sequence dialog, I select the AVCHD 1080 24p. the preset info is: For editing AVCHD Formats recorded in 1920x1080 square pixels (non-anamorphic). 16:9 progressive-scan 1080p HD video at 23.976 frames per second. 48kHz audio.
so far so good
I import the clips by selecting "import" in the file menu, then I direct it to the MTS files on the raid and clik import, they all come in no problem. I can dbl-clik them and they pop open a source window and playback pretty much with no problem (sometimes they take a few seconds to get going, but then they're fine).
first problem is - the clips are listed as 29.97 in the project window.
2nd problem, when I drag them into the sequence window and playback, they stutter.
I'm guessing that because premiere thinks that they are 29.97 and my sequence is set at 24, it's trying to fix it as it goes and that's causing the stuttering. this might explain why they play fine in a source window, but stutter in a sequence window, even with no edits. but maybe I'm wrong.
3rd problem - every time I do an export across a seam, it crashes, or only exports the sequence up to the edit, then stops. (the canon splits the video into 1.9 gig chunks, so you end up with multiple MTS files if it's a long clip).
can anyone help?
thanks

Don't shoot the messenger because he is bearing bad news!
Get a more powerful computer. The one you have is way underpowered for AVCHD material. Your processor is too slow, you do not have sufficient memory, your disk configuration is below standard. That about sums it up.
Bet your salesperson never told you that next to the camera, you needed a new computer...?
He is eagerly awaiting your return to the shop and has already prepared your order. All you have to do is sign and pay....
PS. Even on 8-core Macs with 16 GB RAM, people are struggling with AVCHD.

How do I fix this "flickering" in Adobe Premier Pro CS3?

Hi all, I'm currently working on an MMV (A music video based off of a certain video game, similar to anime music vids), but I have a big problem =\ Theres this "flickering" thing in the middle of the video, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. It plays through, and at a certain point it goes back a few frames and repeates about 5 times.... Just going back and forth... I have tried removing audio but it didn't work. The AVI files outside of Premier Pro are fine. I have also rendered it numerous times to see if it was just Adobe's preview playing up, but.... it wasn't....
If you still can't understand it, I have recorded my problem and uploaded it, in case anyone wants to look at it.
(http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag437b3/n/My_Problem_avi)
In the vid I am tapping arrow keys through frames, not just playing through.
The first section, the chat bubble is meant to change twice altogether.. but it flickers through and change about 10 times.
Second section, and the rest, are all repeated actions that are only meant to happen once...
Help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Oops, one more thing (offtopic). My AVI files stopped working literally 30 seconds ago... They just play a black screen on WMP and do nothing in VLC Player. I fixed this previously today by upgrading Xvid.... but I have the latest now, so I don't know what to do... (I can still play them in Quicktime, however)

Wow - Fast reply.
Anyway, thanks, I'll lookat that after I post this. I have 1 more question. My video recorder cn record in the following codecs, the one in bold is the one I used. Which one has the highest quality, that will work in Premier? Thanks
Microsoft Video 1
Intel IYUV codec
Cinepak Codec by Radius
Xfire Video Codec
Xvid MPEG-4 Codec
Intel Indeo(R) Video 4.5
Edit: I'll decide which posts were most helpful after this =]
Edit 2: Do you reccomend using Stoik Video Converter, or VirtualDUB?
Edit 3: Thanks for your help, it's fixed now

New Premier Pro User Introduction and Comments

Just wanted to introduce myself as I plan to be a frequent reader and hopefully contributor to this forum and in the hope that a few of the comments below will be useful.
First, to show my age, I began video editing back in the early 1990's with the Amiga and the Video Toaster. Later I began editing in Vegas Pro and Edius. In 2007 I largely left the PC platform for Macs, and almost immediately purchaed Final Cut Pro which I have used as my NLE on an eight core (2.8 GHz) 3.1 Mac Pro equipped with a 2 TB Raid 0 array of SATA drives as well as an external Raid 5 8TB SATA system for backups. Although video editing is just a hobby for me, I am serious about it and feel fairly competent in FCP.
With the arrival of the MPE and 64-bit support for Adobe's Premier Pro, I was attracte to trying this editing package which I had obtained in a purchase of the Production Premium package for the Mac. When I received the PP package a few months ago, I installed all the software and briefly tried PP and the other software components in the package but I did not do any serious projects with PP at that time.
Recently, I was involved in video recording a three camera shoot of a piano concert given in my home by my pinao teacher. We used two HDV cameras and my Canon 5D Mark II for the video and an Edirol R-09HR recorder optimally placed for recroding my Yamaha grand piano. I wanted to do a multicamera edit of the one hour concert, but I found this possible but very contorted to do in FCP (with the assistance of PlurarEyes for synching the externally recorded audio with the video). It was at that point that I became serious about learning and using PP CS5.
To get into PP CS5 in the fastest possible manner, I purchased the Learn by Video series on PP CS5 presented by Maxim Jago and Jan Ozer. I feel this is an outstnading video tutorial on using PP CS5. I also decided to upgrade the video card in my Mac Pro 3.1 from the Ati 2600XT card (which does not support the MPE with CUDA) with the nVidia GTX 285 which does. I was able to purchase a new overclocked GTX 285 on eBAy and installed it in my Mac Pro. I also purchsed PluralEyes for PP for synching the external audio in PP.
My experience with this rather large multi-camera project hs been excellent. Not one crash in many hours of work on the project! The GTX 285 easily handles rela time playback with no dropped frames in the timeline. I am impressed with the ease of doing a multi-camera edit in PP CS5 and in general very pleased iwth the program. The most difficult thing I have had to adjust to is the difference between PP CS5 and FCP in terms of getting video and audio into the timeline where I want it in PP. It's not difficult to do, but just sufficiently different that I found the PP CS5 video tutorials that I had purchased very useful in learning how to move video and audio around and patch to precise locations in PP.
Well, enough for now. I have much yet to do to complete this multicamera project, but I have been actively monitoring this forum for months now and simply wanted to say thanks for all I have learned here as well as to just say "hello".
Tom

just took me a while to find it as I don't think I have ever even visited the Video Lounge.
Tom,
Now that you have discovered our "little secret," do not be a stranger. We're a pretty loose, but friendly crew around the forum - both in the Lounge and out in the technical product forum.
Though some technical "stuff" does get posted here, one is usually better off in the product forum, as more users will see the post. Now, "technical" is a slightly abstract term. We've had mic. options explored here, camera options, and of course snakes. When the technical aspect gets to Adobe products, then the main fora are obviously the best locations.
There is also the Hardware sub-forum, and it's great for technical discussions on hardware. Most of that discussion revolves around using Adobe products on said computer, but a lot is general computer talk and questions.
If the discussion gets to authoring DVD/BD, then the Encore Forum is the right place, even though Encore now only ships with PrPro. One reason to break things off there is that some Encore gurus do not hang out here. Considering your audio background, one such individual is Neil Wilkes, the Encore audio-guru. He seldom shows up in the PrPro fora, but is usually not that far away in the Encore forum.
That's just a little breakdown of these fora.
Enjoy PrPro, and thanks for the intro and the thoughts,
Hunt

Can't export to tape on Premier Pro CS4 Extended

When I attempt to export to tape from Premier Pro CS4 Extended, version 4.1.0, to a DV Cam, the tape rolls and records (with device control) but I get no video or audio.
I have:
-selected the timeline for the sequence
-the work area bar is over the entire sequence
-I’ve made sure the tape is record enabled
-I have tried two DV cameras, and three fire wire cords
-I am able to capture video into the computer using all of the above
-I’ve tried moving my project from my external hard drive to my internal one
Still no export…….
Any ideas why?
-I am using a Dell computer with:
            - Windows XP Professional 2002 Service pack 3
            - Intel[R] Core [TM]2 Quad CPU
            -Q9450 @ 2.66JHz
            -2/66 GHz, 3.25 GB of RAM
            -Physical Address Extension
            -Unfortunately I can not find the name of my video card but this computer was built specifically to edit video so I am sure it has one.

Make sure External Device under Export is enabled in the Playback Settings of the Program monitor.
See the picture below.

I am planing to buy license of premier pro.I wan to capture picture from my camera .which card i want to install ??

If you're asking about Live Capture, where you record the camera feed direct to hard disk, then you need a Firewire interface or one of the (few) supported HDMI/SDI cards such as the AJA Kona, Matrox MX02 or BlackMagic Intensity Pro - however those have very specific motherboard requirements so you need to research them carefully before buying anything.
For an intro to Live Capture I suggest you read the manual: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Capturing and digitizing footage

How to see time taken of the footage in premier pro cs5

Hi,
I have captured the video footage from miniDV tape and brought it in premier pro cs5. I want to see the time at which the actual footage was recorded, not the file created or modified. For eg, 12th march, 2011 at 1.24PM. I tried to look under project panel and expanded it by pressing ~ key. On the right hand top fly out menu, pressed Metadata Display and searched under Premier pro project data and Basic. Couldn't find the right property to add. Any help appreciated.

Can Premier Pro Do This...???...(need help w/ FAST photo montage!)

well folks...
i'm really in trouble
i moved sony vegas (8.0) from my office pc to my recording/mastering studio's audio pc...(w/ it's quad IV cpu & tons of RAM)
& now...after moving along quite nicely...all of a sudden the project video screen (lower right) went completely RED...& the project doesn't repond to ANY controls...!!!...seized up tighter than a duck's protuberance.
(just like it did on my office pc)
I rebooted the machine, but that didnt help
so...i'll never make my deadline...on a very important dynamic photo montage i'm constructing for my brother's 50th wedding anniversay...so:
I know premier pro is wonderful for movie editing/creating...but...can it do a dynamic photo montage...???...the kind where one photo image transistions to the next...(w/ music)...& if so...does it have great transition effects & fades & text features (for that job) such as scrolling titles, etc...???
if not...can someone recommend me a program that DOES (in the vein of sony vegas)...???
thanx,
mark4man

i got it...i got it...!!!
so...this 1st screen shot is from an old scanned print; & you can see both pix X pix & document size:
obviously if i uncheck Resample Image...i can't change the pixel dimensions...so I simply did this:
so...is this now my optimum pixel dimensions for HD...(for that particular shot)...???
AND...it's OK that the document size differed (down to 2.283" X 1.8") while remaining at 600ppi...for HD...???
(see...i always assumed that, because there are a gazillion pixels on my 46" LED HD TV...I had to make my scan resolution as great as possible to fill that screen)...& you two are telling me that, because the pix dimension width is now 1080...that shot won't look pixelated (up-sampled) when the movie is played on an HD TV...???
if so...i'm good w/ the info you've given me (actually, great).
thanx a gazillion,
mark4man

Premier Pro is adding frames in the beginning of the video

Hello guys,
I have the following problem with Premier Pro.
1. Several videos with different frame rate (24 fps and 30 fps)
2. I create new sequence 24 fps
3. Import videos to project and set them all to 24 fps via Interpret Footage.
4. Now I am adding video to sequence, but Premier is adding 3 frames in the beginning from totally different video.
What is that?
Record of my screen is here
Adobe Premier adds 3 frames in the beginning of the videofile | Screencast-O-Matic - Free online screen recorder for ins…

I'm not sure why or how PPro is inserting frames from a different clip. But before digging into that, it might be worth exploring why you're using Interpret Footage to change the frame rate. In case you're not aware, Premiere Pro manages mixed frame rates automatically, so you don't have to do anything if you want the 30fps clips to play at normal speed in a 24fps sequence. In fact, changing the frame rate changes a clip's duration and playback speed.
