Rough cuts from Prelude lack audio source

Hey everyone,
this is my first project with a Prelude to Premiere Pro workflow and so far everything worked just fine.
Although after creating a couple of rough cuts in Prelude and sending them to Premiere Pro I am experiencing a problem with the imported audio:
All clips within a rough cut do not play back any audio even though they did in Prelude. I found out that after beeing sent to Premiere all clips seem to loose their audio track source.
So what I can do to relink my audio is to righclick->audio channels -> choose the right source. If I want to do this for multiple clips at once it will only work for clips shot with the same camera / format / channel names.
As I am working with footage of three different cameras I am trying to understand what's going on.
Has anyone of you experienced a similar issue?
Thanks for your help.

Xoxidine,
Prelude CC, the new version that has the new feature to automatically conform clips after ingest, will be shipping June 17. http://www.adobe.com/products/prelude.html
As to forcing a reconform, please try this:
Quit Prelude
Clear out your Media Cache Files folder, or if you can determine specifically the files to delete-- they're named in such a way you can tell which files go with which clips surgically remove the files for the clips you want to reconform
Mac: delete the .cfa and .pek files located in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files/
remember "~" indicates your Home directory. On my system this is located at /Users/wplate
another point: On Lion and Mtn Lion the Library folder is hidden by default. Hold the Option key while selecting the Go menu in the Finder and "Library" appears. Choose that and a window pointing to ~/Library appears
Win: delete the .cfa and .pek files located in C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files\AppData is a hidden folder. Once I was in \Users\Wes I then clicked into the address bar to type the AppData name and after hitting Enter that directory was opened.
It is also possible your media cache files are set to be elsewhere. The setting is in the Prelude preferences in the Media category.
Relaunch Prelude
Open the clip again, it should reconform
I tested this with Prelude CS6 on both Mac and Win and it worked for me on both platforms.

Creating Rough Cuts from an Extension in Prelude CC 2014

I am building an extension panel using extension builder 3 for Prelude CC 2014 and want to have a button to create rough cuts from a selection of markers. After looking at the CSXS API I can see that the events which I would need to use, such as com.adobe.browser.event.CreateRoughCut only seem to be available in Library mode. Therefore is there no way, now or in the future that I can program the panel to create rough cuts in Prelude if I want to run in native mode?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Ok sorry, I get 25 FPS rough cut if I drag that clip onto the rough cut icon. I can't create the rough cut first and then add the clip to it.
Would be handy to be able to decide in advance.
Thanks!

Equium L20-197: No line-in jack - How to record from an external audio source

Hi,
I'm generally very pleased with my Equium L20, but am now finding a few annoyances that I guess are cost-cutting issues. For instance, there's no onboard mic, so need to buy one for Voip purposes. And I would like to use this laptop to record from an external audio source, but now discover that there is no line-in jack, and it seems the microphone jack is mono only, even if it was possible to configure the audo card to use this for line-in source.
I'd be very grateful if anyone has any ideas for a workaround perhaps using a USB port.
TIA
Keith

Hi R2D2,
Thanks for your quick reply - it set me on the right track and I've been googling for similar solutions available in the UK. I've since found this product - http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/9326 and redhawk has pointed me at something by Creative Labs which I'll try and track down.

Cutting with a different audio source

Hi,
my main purpose working with FCE is to cut Videos from my seminars and lectures. The camera (with built in microphone) is usually stationary and I have a head-set microphone which is amplified in the (big) room and recorded on a MP3-Recorder.
For cutting I would like to use the audio source from the mp3-recorder, it is much clearer, does not have any disturbances from the audience etc...
The problem is, that the timing does not really match between the two machines. For example I have a lecture with 1:08:20 video but the recorded audio on the mp3 recorder is (for whatever reason I do not understand) 1:08:28 long.
I have not yet found a solution for this. Is it possible to put markers on the two files (video and audio) in the timeline at exactly the same point and then say "stretch video to match audio markers"?
Any help much appreciated. THX

Convert the MP3 file to an AIFF file with the settings that match your FCE Sequence. Typically that would be AIFF at 48khz, 16 bit.

Can I create many short rough cuts from one large vob or mts file?

If so, how? I am new to editing and using CS6 Premier Pro and Prelude.

As JStrawn points out, Importing the full Clip into the Project, but only using what you need from it, where you need it, has no drawbacks. The actual AV file is NOT physically input to the program, in any way. What happens with an Import, in very simple terms, is that PrPro links to that file, where it resides on your system, when you do the Import. There is only a link to that AV file, and that is written into the PRPROJ (the Project file) file in XML language. The file stays where it was, and only a line, or two of code is written. That is why a PRPROJ file is so small, compared to a media file - it's only lines of code, and contains zero media. Even Titles, which ARE included in the PRPROJ file, are but instructions, until one Exports.
The three methods mentioned above are really quite similar, but just reflect a slightly different workflow. I like the Source Monitor and setting the In & Out Points, then just dragging (I guess I mouse more than use keyboard shortcuts) an Instance of that file, now Trimmed, onto my Timeline. There are a few times, when I do use the Razor, but not that often. I seldom use the Trim Monitor w/ it's keyboard shortcuts, but many could not live without that - personal choices.
What one sees on the Timeline are representations of the various segments of that original longer Clip. But they are basically for display - to give the editor a visual to work with. Those Clip Instances do not yet really exist, and are only XML instructions. When one goes to Export the Timeline, PrPro reads those instructions, follows the link to that original file, and extracts the data that it is instructed to use, and essentially copies just THAT data to the new file, that PrPro is outputting. It is at that point, that something new exists, created from the chosen data in that original file, processed through the instructions written to the PRPROJ file.
Now, there ARE some times, where one would want to create Sub-Clips, or even Export the Trimmed Clips as separate, discrete files, but from what I gather, you do not have a need for that, so you can save yourself a couple of steps.
One possible use would be if one is hardpressed for HDD space, and they wished to actually cut up the long file, Export to individual files, and then Delete that original file. However, and even there, one could use the above techniques to edit the long file, and Export that edited version as a separate file, then Deleting that original longer file. Caveat - if one does that, then that Project is basically "done," as the Imported media file, the original long one, would no longer exist, as it has been Deleted.
Good luck, and hope this helps,
Hunt

Output 4:3 center cut from Anamorphic 16:9 source

Hi all,
I have an Anamorphic 16:9 Sequence (IMX 50) that I want to ouput to a 4:3 aspect ratio using a center cut. i.e. cutting the left and right sides of the picture off. I do not want to letter box the output.
From what I have read it is relatively easily to produce a letter boxed 4:3 output but I haven't managed to find out how to produce a center cut output.
Any ideas would be great
Thanks
Matt

Well as you say, it works ... and it seems pretty darn simple to me
I can't speak for Quicktime Conversion as I never use it. If I was looking for an alternative method (and assuming I didn't have a direct hardware center cut option from an I/O card such as the AJA mentioned above) I would use Compressor. Its easy to use, has masses of presets, and you can tweak output aspect/crop directly in the preview window so you can see exactly what you are going to get.
Using Compressor you can save your own custom preset as a droplet, then whenever you have output a 16:9 master that you want to center cut then you only need to drop it onto the droplet ... and hey presto, it'll spit out the needed file.

Roughcut sequence from Prelude does not appear to be "seamlessly" editable in Premiere Pro CC

Hi,
Please Help.
I have been working on a film and created the entire rough cut, using both entire clips and sub clips, in Prelude CC. Once I sent the rough cut to Premiere Pro CC, I expected that I could "seamlessly" (as advertised) continue editing the same sequence of clips and sub clips in Premiere Pro. When I drag and drop the rough cut file that appears in Premiere Pro into the Premiere Pro timeline, it appears as a single block (is that what a "nested sequence" is? is there a way to un-nest a sequence?) instead of a sequence of clips and sub clips.
What is worse, the sub clips do not transfer to Premiere Pro, only the entire original clips. Even if I had to re-create the sequence of clips and sub clips in Premiere Pro, it would at least be better if I didn't have to re-do all of the sub clips. This is incredibly frustrating. I hope there is a solution (other than waiting to buy the next version of the same product).
I would give up and assume that the products just were not designed for what I was expecting them to be designed for, except that in the video tutorials, both within Adobe and elsewhere, the two programs seem to work just as I expected them to (that is probably where I got that expectation actually). When the guy in the video sends a rough cut from Prelude to Premiere Pro, It pops up in Premiere Pro as an editable sequence of clips and sub-clips.
Thank you.

Often when sequences come in as 'one lump' this check box need to be altered

Rough Cut Issues in Premiere

REALLY FRUSTRATED!
So I send my rough cut to Premiere, then I drag my rough cut to the timeline, all seems to be fine. But if I delete that rough cut from the timeline it is no longer available to bring into the timeline again, it is just blank and error message "No content in sequence In/Out Range".
I've tried it with the "write XMP ID to files on import" checked and unchecked. I don't even know if this has anything to do with the rough cut, ugh!
Also, if I rearrange the bins I sent from Prelude in any manner whatsoever the rough cut is lost!
So frustrated I am beginning to think I have wasted months of time making rough cuts in Prelude,

Hey Michael,
Thanks for getting back to me so soon Sorry, I have to give you links to imgur for pictures of my desktop. I tried everything people suggested, but I still cannot get the insert link or insert photo on the forum to work, ugh!
The problem I was having yesterday is that the rough cut sequence file remains in the Premiere Pro Project Panel after deleting it from the timeline, but does not contain anything once it is deleted from the timeline, the thumbnail becomes blank/black and the rough cut footage cannot be brought back into the same or a different timeline without going back to Prelude and resending the rough cut and associated footage to Premiere. I was getting "No content in sequence In/Out Range".
http://i.imgur.com/74uBHvI.jpg
However, this morning I start up my computer, reopen Prelude and start Premiere project from scratch. Then I sent the same rough cut as yesterday to Premiere. This time when I drag the rough cut to the timeline Premiere makes a new duplicate sequence. That did not happen yesterday. I have no idea why as all settings are identical.
http://imgur.com/L0KirVB
*Note I put the additional sequence on the timeline cause I wanted to see if it was identical.
So, my next step was to delete the rough cut from the timeline and bring it back into the timeline. I get the same message "No content in sequence In/Out Range".
Then I repeated everything again, only this time if I double click the rough cut to bring it into the timeline instead of dragging it. It does not make a duplicate sequence.
http://i.imgur.com/YlfvQ2h.jpg
Then I delete the rough cut in the timeline and try to bring it back in to the timeline and get the "No content in sequence In/Out Range" message. So in order to have access to that rough cut again I have to go back to Prelude and have it send the roughcut and associated footage back into Premiere.
http://i.imgur.com/iQ9ozDY.jpg
All the footage used in the rough cut sent over to Premiere from Prelude is still accessible in the project panel after deleting the rough cut from the timeline. It is the rough cut itself that is no longer available once it is ingested into the timeline and then deleted.
My real concern in working with my rough cuts from Prelude is the stability of the rough cut. Once I start working within the roughcut footage and I decide to add, edit or delete clips am I going to have issues. If I have to start going back to Prelude to resend rough cuts then this will be a huge issue and it would just be better for me to start with my original footage as opposed to the rough cuts.
I hope this gives you a better understanding of the problem. If you need any more info or if you need to do remote access to my system please let me know. Thanks again!

Bluetooth Audio Source- Auto Switching IOS6

I have had the iPhone4s working forever with 2 different Cadillacs (2010 and then a new 2013) only to find once I upgraded to the latest iOS6 on the iPhone 4s the Bluetooth hands free for phone changed its behavior for the worst. Symptoms:
Once the Phone is "paired" it works- someone can call me and I can answer it with the handsfree system in the Escalade. When making outbound calls is when it goes one of two ways listed below.
1. Phone dials and connects however the Audio "source" is the Handset in which case I have to click the Audio Source button on the handdset and select my Car handsfree for the call, which it then switches instantly to the car and everything proceeds fine. (The phone for some reason switches from the overhead audio source to handset by default)
2. Phone dials and connects and works perfectly over the Handsfree system
The phone ALWAYS connects as it should- it ALWAYS works flawlessly on incoming phone calls- its ONLY when I dial a call it goes to either the handset OR the Overhead system. There is NO pattern for the behavoir, it could work perfect for 3 straight calls then the 4 call it prefers the Handset. Or it could go to the handset on the FIRST call.
I am on the phone constantly so this bug is very annoying. When I dial someone I have to wait to see if its going to randomly select the overhead sound system or the handset. This was not a problem in this vehicle when I was running IOS5- it literally started when I upgraded the Iphone 4s to IOS6. I figured (hoped) that when the iPhone5 arrived it would make the problem go away however its the exact same behavoir.
Has anyone else experienced this awesomeness? (I have already deleted and re-paired it a few times to no avail)
Frank

I am having the same issue in my 2013 GMC Acadia Denali.
I believe it was working fine when I bought the car in December of 2012... but an apple update (iOS 6.01) created this problem.
I realize the car could still be at fault (perhaps the iPhone is doing things correctly, but the car is connecting to the bluetooth 4.0 standard incorrectly), but either way I just wish things were working like they used to.
This is a dangerous and annoying bug.
Message was edited by: Thubs - I updated the version of the OS that caused the problem.

Rough Cut "send to Premiere Pro" opens PP but no files.

"send to Premiere Pro" opens Premiere Pro but the project is empty.
Also "append to rough cut" in Prelude is grayed out/unavailable.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Prelude and Premiere Pro but nothing has changed.
Checked for updates and there are none.
OS 10.6.8
Premiere Pro 6.0.2
Prelude 1.0

Do you have the Rough Cut open in the timeline panel? If the Rough Cut is closed the Append to Rough Cut command will be greyed out.
Does the File>Export command work to create a Premiere Pro project?
When you try the Send to Premiere Pro command and it fails, do you see any errors in the Window>Events panel?

FIXED!!
1)
i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

I only get one audio channel when i make a rough cut.

Hey everyone,
when I'm making a rough cut with my subclips in Adobe Prelude, he combines my two audio channels into one track. Even when i export my subclips to Premiere Pro I also get one audio track with two audio channels in it. What am I doing wrong?
I'm working on Mac and Prelude CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC v8.1.
Can somebody help me?
Sven Jansen

Hi Sven,
You are doing nothing wrong here. If you will expand the audio track in both Prelude and Premiere, you can see that both the audio channels are in place. Its just the difference in the way the channels are being represented in Prelude timeline and rought cut.
Please let me know if you are loosing any of your audio channel.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Get Sequence's Enabled Audio Sources From Player Plugin

Hi, I'm a video editor with some limited programming experience and I've been exploring the possibility of expanding on Premiere Pro's feature set. Nothing fancy or 3D just adding functionality. Specifically I'm looking to add the ability to playback a clip in the Source monitor and preview the audio sources selected on the current sequence. Meaning whichever audio sources are enabled in the sequence would playback along with the video in the source monitor. (Avid has this feature). I've not yet found anything in the documentation that suggests that the current sdk can allow this. I can't find any way to get "enabled or disabled" info from the sequence. In fact I haven't found anything on getting any settings or values from the sequence.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I also would love to be able to add several other similar enhancements to Premiere Pro. I'm not much of a programmer. It will probably take me ages to do something an actual programmer would take just a few days to do, so I'm more than open to anyone willing to help. I do know Premiere Pro inside out from a user's point of view and would be willing to contribute to any effort in this particular direction.

Yeah... I feared as much. It's too bad really. I have in fact sent a feature request for this several times. (Ever since cs4 rolled along) I just figured it wasn't something adobe was interested in. Or just not really a priority. Which is why I was looking to build it myself.
Oh well... I guess I can try the feature request again.

Jawbone2: Must choose Jawbone from Audio Source for Incoming Calls

Had the original Jawbone and just got the new Jawbone. Love it except I must choose Audio Source>Jawbone for all incoming calls. All I had to do with the original Jawbone was 'slide to answer'.
I did unpair the headset, turned off Bluetooth and did reset the Jawbone but re-pairing the headset.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I emailed customer support at Jawbone and this is the response I got back from them. So I followed the instructions but I had little hope. I did it 2x. No help.
Response (Chris) - 06/12/2008 10:57 AM
Hi Ross,
I understand your problem and have a fix for it. I have experienced the same problem. To fix this reset the Jawbone and iPhone and then repair them. Also make sure that if this happens again that you use the headset because the New Jawbone has an idle feature that goes in to effect after 15 minutes.
Sincerely,
Chris

So I had an original Jawbone and didn't have this problem on my iphone. Thank god you guys made a magsafe type connector for the power cord.
Anyways, when I receive a phone call on my
iphone if I use my phone to accept the call, the phone answers and says that it is using the headset. But I can't hear anything. But if I put the phone up to my ear I can hear the conversation. So then I have to go to the audio source on the iphone and change it to headset.
But if I answer it using the jawbone button it works fine. I know the answer is to just use the headphone. But I didn't have to with the old one. What else can be done.
Thanks for the help.

Why won't my Prelude Rough Cut material appear in Premiere Pro?

I've done everything accordingly. I have my Rough Cut ready, but everytime I go to send it to Premiere Pro, it fails to do so.
What am I missing here? Is it my directory location that's the problem? I have no idea as to why it won't do as I say.

I'll get the image once I can obtain it - it's not appearing atm.
I have CS6 for both programs.
Yes, nothing happens when it's empty. There is a failure with the connection between the softwares. I also had this problem with trying to transfer files from Premiere to Speedgrade a while back. I never did find out the problem.
Is there a central hub or connecting device that provides this operation, because I have a feeling that that is what's stopping it from operating correctly.
