Rendering issue in Premiere Pro CC

I have a problem when I'm rendering my timeline. It seems when I select render sequence in to out, the render seems to get hungup towards the end of render. What I mean is that around 98% the render goes incredible slow and sometimes never finishes. If I cancel the render nothing will have been rendered. In FCP if you cancelled the render, it would have saved what you have already rendered, so if you were at 98% in the render, 98% of the timeline would be saved. It seems a little better if I select render effects in to out. What is the difference between render sequence in to out or render effects in to out? When I render I use the mercury playback engine gpu acceleration and the only application I have open is premiere pro CC.
Another question, does it make any difference for export if you render the sequence first and then export? Or is it just as fast to export the sequence without it being rendered? In FCP if you rendered your sequence first the export would be really fast. Somebody told me that even if you render your sequence in Premiere Pro, when you export it will have to re-render the sequence, is that true?

Processor 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

As to the first paragraph, have you tried rendering out software-only, with the MPE turned off? For some people, they've had hangs on renders with the MPE on. Also, make sure you've got the latest drivers for your card ... and you might want to search the forum to see if there's been similar problems with that card for others. Some cards are not as nice at playing with Adobe (even though listed as 'certified') as others.
As to render before outputting, those are actually two different steps & processes ... confusing titling of the two things causes a lot of problems methinks. "Render" on the timeline within a PrPro project creates previews the program uses in the playback monitor, NOT a final-qulaity image. Not same quality et al, according to Adobe staff. Frequently posters here complain about slow renders with lousy quality and they'd rendered the entire sequence out, then checked the box on output "render" (perhaps 'encoding' would be a better term?) to use previews thinking it would speed things up.
But it didn't speed things, it just meant their output was dumbed-down to the quality of the previews.

Major Issues with Premiere Pro CC

I am currently having some major issues with Premiere Pro CC running on my macbook pro(specs below).
I am trying to export a 4 minute video using the vimeo 1080p export settings as I usually do, and it takes about 10 hours to export the video. On cs6, a similar project would take 5-10 minutes.
Also, the video that was exported contained a lot of clips that came out choppy and low quality.
I am currently on the phone with tech support, and they cannot seem to figure out what is wrong.
I have seen a few post about CC having issues with amd cards, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since this job is past due due to these issues.

You neglected to specify exactly which release of PPro CC you are running. There have been 5 of them.
If you're on CC7.2 or 7.2.1, then you may be hitting the same problem discussed in one of these threads:

Graphics Card issues with Premiere Pro CS4

Hey there,
I've placed the screenshot of my problem at the bottom of this post.
I'm having lots of issues with premiere pro CS4 and editing videos since I upgraded to Windows 7. I have some .mpg and .MP4 videos. Both of which play fine in WMP, VLC, WinAmp, VirtualDJ etc. But when I load them into PPRO CS4, as you can see in the screenshot they go green and pink. And they don't move. I.e you see one still image and hear only audio.
Now a fix I have found for this is to uninstall my graphics card. But this is no way an option to edit videos, as the resoultion goes from 1920 x 1080 to 1024 x 768.
I should add that I am runnig the following system:
Dell Vostro 1000 Latpop
Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit
2.00Ghz AMD Sempron Processor
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon XPress 1150 Graphics card
I have the latest graphics card drivers installed. I am just wondering what the problem is, and a potential fix. Would be great to hear any advice,
Regards,
Adam.

OK, here are some other things to think about:
ATI/AMD Catalyst seems to have an issue with one of the latest versions, maybe rollback to an earlier version.
Depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration (though this usually affect smoothness of playback) in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Advanced.
Check your OpenGL settings.
In Catalyst, turn OFF any GPU Acceleration
That's about all that I can think of for now, and those are shots in the dark.
Good luck,

Syncing footage with music track issue in Premiere Pro CC

My experience with Premiere Pro is still limited to basic editing. Recently I've been asked to help out a friend to edit a music video. I've done this before in Final Cot Pro X but decided to switch due to the integration of Adobe CC.
The issue I am facing is that all footage that has been shot is delivered to me at 23.976 fps but with the audio playing faster. The audio track after importing is being played back at 29.97 fps and plays at normal speed.
The solution I have found so far is to slow down each clip to 80% so it matches the original audio track. This is not ideal I found out while editing, so it would be better to have each clip rendered to its original state of 29.97 fps.
After some more research I discovered that it is possible to re-render each clip to its original speed in After Effects, and even apply frame blending. Then import all back in Premiere Pro.
My question is if the road I am following here is the correct one.
Thank you!

by reducing the speed in the timeline, i think it does the same thing as forcing interpret footage. the difference is by changing it in the bin before starting, you can change all clips at once. just make sure to set the sequence fps to the final output fps, not matching the changed fps of clips. you can also right click the footage on the timeline and choose frame blend, but i think it ends up doing the same thing as the export option you are using. the difference on the timeline is you can see the frame blend while editing. AE is extremely slow and might not look any better, so where u are on deadline, forget about it. so in premiere i think frame blend on vs off is your only real option to change the behavior of the slow-mo.
the slow mo trick is nice for music videos, but yeah, for best results the camera needs to be sped up with the song on set. then in post both are slowed back down, replacing the song/audio with the original song at normal speed. 23.976 or 29.97 are both acceptable in NTSC usa land. 23.976 has gotten alot of attention as the "film look" since it has more motion blur, while 29.97 has a cleaner video look. below are some numbers i found somewhere and kept. so if the final render fps is known, can choose the correct shooting fps for on set with matching sped up or slowed down music. the italic values would be used to end up with sped up footage, while the Bold values would be used for slo-motion effect. i haven't used these but the numbers look right. he could have shot at 29.97(30) fps and slowed it down to 23.976 in post to get the 80% slow-mo.
For an NTSC/US, using a 24p timebase, for the following frame rates, adjust the song speed to:
12 fps: make song last 1.956x longer by stretching it to 51.1% speed
18 fps: make song last 1.333x longer by stretching it to 75.0% speed
20 fps: make song last 1.226x longer by stretching it to 81.6% speed
22 fps: make song last 1.067x longer by stretching it to 93.7% speed
26 fps: make song last 0.907x as long as normal; play it at 110.25% speed
30 fps: make song last 0.800x as long as normal; play it at 125% speed
32 fps: make song last 0.747x as long as normal; play it at 133.87% speed
36 fps: make song last 0.672x as long as normal; play it at 148.81% speed
48 fps: make song last 0.498x as long as normal; play it at 200.80% speed
60 fps: make song last 0.400x as long as normal; play it at 250.00% speed
For an NTSC/US, using a 30p timebase, for the following frame rates, adjust the song speed to:
12 fps: make song last 2.445x longer by stretching it to 40.91% speed
18 fps: make song last 1.667x longer by stretching it to 60.00% speed
20 fps: make song last 1.533x longer by stretching it to 65.23% speed
22 fps: make song last 1.333x longer by stretching it to 75.01% speed
24 fps: make song last 1.250x as long as normal; play it at 80.00% speed
26 fps: make song last 1.134x as long as normal; play it at 88.22% speed
32 fps: make song last 0.933x as long as normal; play it at 107.14% speed
36 fps: make song last 0.840x as long as normal; play it at 119.05% speed
48 fps: make song last 0.622x as long as normal; play it at 160.73% speed

H.264 encoding issues with Premiere Pro CC 2014

After updating to Premiere Pro CC 2014 yesterday, I see encoding artifacts on my H.264 exports.
Same source video imported into CC v2014 and v7, and exported using the YouTube 1080p 29.97 fps settings. The artifacts manifests itself as softness/blurriness in parts of the image every few seconds, especially notice the area with a red circle below.
Here are the source file (GoPro HERO3 Black Edition), the v2014 render and the v7 render.

This is a known issue introduced in CC2014.0. Some h.264 encodes have blurriness or noise periodically in some areas of the frame. The problem is most pronounced in regions of the frame with very little detail, like grass or pavement--or the T-shirt in the sample frame. We are working on a fix. Before you ask when the patch will be forthcoming, I'm not authorized to even hint at the timeframe.
Unfortunately, the only real workaround is to export to a format other than h.264. If that's not an option for you, then your best bet is probably to keep working in CC7.2.2 until the patch is released.
Sorry, but thats not completely true and by far not the correct answer:
The problems with random artifacts occurred with the introduction of a new version of H264 in CS6 but there you still had the option to export with the previous H264 Version via Media Encoder.
Since the previous H264 version is not available in CC, using CC7.2.2 is not a solution either.
BTW
Updating to CC and using the new Mac Pros with Mavericks is currently a total mess - no open cl rendering, random crashes, no usable h264 ... thanks adobe!!
... but we can track masks in premiere now ... wow!

Long Rendering Time in Premiere Pro with Yosemite

The rendering time with Yosemite and Premiere Pro CC 2014 is stating hours for a 17 minute video (regardless of small or large file) I recently upgraded to Yosemite (mid project like a dodo-newbie to the editing world). I also recently installed a Neat video plug in. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. Should I revert back to Mavericks? Or is there something I can do?

I'M having the same problem, though it's inconsistent. When I first encoutered the issue it was a simple fix of switching to the Cuda renderer from the open CL/Cuda that is automatically selected. That little honeymoon lasted a week or so, but now I'll have 4 or 5 clips varying in length from 30 to 120 minutes and invariably one or more will get hung up and require many hours to export.
Also in the norning after a night of exporting, the ME will indicate the clip was successfully exported, but when the files are checked one or more will not be properly exported. Generally if I try again the clip will export properly and in a decent amount of time, but sometimes it takes seveeral attempts.
Add to that that I get dropped frame choppy playback about 70% of the time it becomes a very frustrating program to use professionally. My drive speeds are good at well over 120Mbs for read and write and this is only 1080/30P material.
Tried tech support via phone, which was a joke, even though I have received excellent support in the past this episode was not so. Tech didn't even give me a case number, and I forgot to request one as well, but after remote linking to my machine for an hour in which he was most of the time off the phone, he came back on said he would watch my machine, but was now hanging up.
Clearly there are issues with this release. The previous release worked fine. I just now need to figure out how to go back to the previous version.

Display Issues in Premiere Pro CS4

I'm having some weird display glitches in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 in the timeline area. I attached a picture that shows what it looks like. This happens whenever I drag clips on the timeline and it makes it so it takes a lot longer to edit my videos.
I'm really hoping that Apple or Adobe fixes this issue. I really can't afford to upgrade my creative suite to CS 5.5! And I would prefer to stick with OS X Lion.
Well it looks like I can't upload an image. Any ideas?

Keep in mind that the following sustained transfer rates - as a rough rule of thumb - apply:
SATA & eSATA: 80 - 100 MBps
Firewire 800:       50 - 60 MBps
Firewire 400:       30 - 35 MBps
USB2:                20 - 25 MBps (depending on other USB devices connected it could be even lower.)
I agree that your storage capacity with 1 TB is enough, but the interface is too slow. If you do not have an eSATA port on you Vaio, you can get a Xpress card to eSATA connector with two eSATA ports to cover that. Also keep in mind that the C drive may be a 4200 or 5400 RPM disk and not 7200.
Mininmum requirements state: a DEDICATED 7200 RPM disk and while your USB disk is 7200, it lacks in the sustained transfer rate when compared to SATA or eSATA. BTW I think Adobe should explicitly mention SATA or better.
Above I mentioned for USB depending on other USB devices attached. USB shares the bandwidth among all devices connected. If you have a USB stick connected, a USB receiver for wireless keyboard or mouse, a USB printer, they all have to share the bandwidth and further reduce the sustained transfer rates of the USB disk.
Hope this explains it a bit.

5.1 Audio issue in Premiere Pro CC

Hello All,
So I have the latest Premiere Pro CC with the most current updates and a Sony HD camera that records videos with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. When I create a project and import the files using Media Browser, I get the error message: "Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for <file path>", I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit machine, the files are on M2TS format, I imported them from the camera to the computer using PlayMemories Home, the software also copies a M2TSMODD file to the same location. I've seen a lot of people complaining about this issue with CS6 but not CC, I've reinstalled the software twice now, is there anything I can do other than trying to extract the audio with another software and import the audio file? This is really a bummer.

I had this problem this evening 090813 after upgrading my Adobe Cloud Desktop.
I open Pro CC and had the Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for (File name.......... ) Error
Previous CC progs loaded and worked with problem.
I uninstalled Pro CC - Restarted the computer - Re-installed Pro CC.
Now working with no problem.
Hope this helps.

Video Playback Issue in Premiere Pro CS6

I am editing a video with 2 video tracks on top of each other. When I scrub through the timeline or jusy hit play in the timeline the top layer of video scales to about 50% and plays on top of the layer below it. But it didn't do that 2 days ago. Any ideas on what could cause that? I have attached a screen capture of what it looks like while playing back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
::Premiere Pro CS6 (v 6.0.5) and a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9 on a SSD, and 8GB RAM::

They are both 1280x720 but they were shot on 2 different cameras. The thing that is killing me is that I have done this exact same camera setup and editing before without this issue. And it only scales the top layer video down while scrubbing or playing back (spacebar). When the playhead is still it pops back to normal.

XDCAM audio issues in Premiere Pro CC

We run 4 New Mac Pro Towers at my shop with Adobe Creative Cloud, and we're editing on Premiere Pro CC. We were a Final Cut 7 shop until we were forced to choose between PP or FCX. I've recently been experiencing audio issues when ingesting XDCAM footage from my Sony EX3 Camera. While the video looks great when ingested into either XDCAM Browser, or when I drop the BPAV file into our external drive and bring it into PPCC, the audio becomes noisy and unusable.; while this same audio sounds excellent on all my other machines. I've uninstalled both the XDCAM Browser and Premiere software and reinstalled them, but have not had any luck so far. Meantime, none of my other machines are experiencing this issue. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

One way, assuming you are working in mono, pan A1 center and A2 right, this will give ambience to left and ambience and narration to right. If you are mixing and you don't want the ambience only track to change in level you will need to use subgroups but this will get more involved.

Any issues with Premiere Pro CC and Avid Media Composer on same system?

Hi all:
Searched around for this but couldn't find similar question.
Am a long time Premiere Pro user, but have something coming up where I'm having to use Avid MC to collaborate with a staff editor for the duration of the job. Am wondering if I should expect any conflicts or issues to installing both Premiere Pro CC and Media Composer on the same system? Any insight would be most welcome.

Thanks!

hi Jim,
well it turns out that Premiere update 7.2.2. put my computer into disarray, and caused my multi-camera monitor to lag (about 6 seconds) behind my program monitor .. so my my multi-cam monitor (with my 2 or 3 camera feeds) would be playing footage that is 6 seconds or so BEHIND what was playing on the program monitor.
that's the gist of it..
anyway the fine folks at Adobe, talked me through the process of going back to premiere 7.2.0 and that fixed the issue.
i hope future updates resolve this issue so that i can get back up to the minute on my software
thanks

QTFC Issues with Premiere Pro CS4?

Hello there.
So recently, I have been having issues with my adobe programs. I have the Master Collection CS4 and when I launch programs like After Effects, it tells me the following.
"QuickTime functions will be disabled because a compatible version of QuickTime could not be found"
and here's my real issue. When I go to launch Premiere Pro CS4, I get the following error.
"Adobe Premiere Pro.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic library link QTCF.dll"
I click OK and it pops up again, then premiere launches. How do I get rid of this error? I have tried reinstalling Master Collection and Quicktime but that didn't help.
I cannot afford to reformat computer as I'm very busy and need my programs to work.
Thankyou for your time and support.
-Matthew.

To answer your question. I had the same problem that you had. I was using Quicktime 7. So I downgraded by downloading Quicktime 6.4
Here's a link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120297
So I installed QT 6.4, and the error message is no longer there. But there is another issue, I try to import or find a file that is a .mov and it says File format not supported. Which is weird because you get that if you don't have quicktime installed. That may be an entirely different problem. But hope this at least helps you answer your question.

Audio rendering problems in Premiere Pro CC 2014

Hi
I'm rendering a very small project in Premiere Pro (just some cut and music). I tried to render it in H.264 but when I open it in windows media player there is no audio, when I copy it to my mobile phone I can't hear the audio neither. When I import the rendered file into premiere I can see the audio waveform. When I render the project in mpeg I can here the audio and when I clik the "match sequence settings" button I can hear it to (AVI) but I need H.264. What is the problem or what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance

Windows Media Player sucks. That's about the best 'why' I have for that.
I don't own a smart phone, so I can't help with that one. (I'm one of those old fashioned types who only uses a phone to make phone calls, and the proper tool for all the other activities the 'phone' has co-opted lately - like a computer for playing back computer media files. )

Audio sync drift issues within Premiere Pro CS6, even with 48kHz project & source material?

Evening guys and Merry Christmas to those who follow the tradition. I'm currently doing a few last minute tweaks to a live dance show that I recently shot. The show featured music that was recorded in camera (via additional mic) from the speaker setup within the theatre. This was always intended as a guide track as the original music would then be synced in the edit to give a cleaner sound to the audio during the dance sequences. I have the original CD that the music was played from on the night, however when the files are imported into Premiere Pro (or even Audition), they sync for the first 10 seconds or so and then gradually drift out of sync as the track goes on.
My project is set to 48.000 audio, which was what the original footage was shot at, as well as the audio tracks being imported as 48.000 too. Now on paper there should not be any issues with this sync drift occuring right? I've even tried with 44.100 audio files and naturally they drift out of sync.
At a loss here really as I'm not sure where i'm going wrong. Can anyone shed any light on this situation please?
Thanks!

Resolution issues in Premiere Pro

Hi, I am attempting to import a video into Premiere Pro for editing but am having some weird issues.
I have a video which is 1920x800 and have created a Premiere project with the resolution set to 1920x800 and yet I have black bars on the left and right of the video as shown below.
If the project and video are the exact same resolution, how is this happening?
Thanks.

I've never heard of 1920x800 video... it's probably 1920x1080.
