Sequence from Premiere Pro has no Sound in After Effects

I created a video Premiere CS5.5 and would now like to take the final cut into After Effects CS5.5. I exported the file as an AVI
(NTSC DV, uncompressed audio) and it plays well in every player I've tried it in. However, now that I'd like to just drop the file into AE the
audio will not play. There is a waveform being displayed for the layer but the audio mixer display doesn't even react when I play it in AE.
Any thoughts?

Audio enabled in Preview Panel?
Does audio play when you press the . on the numeric keypad or pick Composition>Preview>Audio?
Are you using the 0 key on the numeric keypad or the Preview button on the Preview Panel to generate a ram preview?
Will a standard wav file play?
Are you an AE Newbie?
Did you read this FAQ on audio playback?
Did you read the AE Help file on Audio Preview and Playback?

Importing Premiere Pro 1.5 project into After Effects 5.5?

I tried unsuccessfully to import a Premiere Pro 1.5 project into After Effects 5.5, so am guessing the two programs are not compatible. Which version of AE would I need in order to make this work?

Well, only logical - AE 5.5 is 2 years, before PremierePro 1.0 even existed, so it wouldn't know anything about the file format. At least CS is required, meaning AE 6.5.

Render quality drops when importing sequences from Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I have both AE and Premiere Pro CS4, and, because my Media Encoder doesn't work (a common problem, apparently), I import my sequences into AE to render. However, I've noticed a marked drop in quality in the sequence when imported into AE as opposed to when it's in Premiere Pro. It's comparable to a "Full" dropping to a "Half" when changing preview render quality in AE. What am I doing wrong? Is there some simple way to match the quality of the AE Comp (that has the PP sequence in it) to what the original Premiere Pro project has? Should I not be putting the PP project into a new comp in AE before I render it out? Is there another way that can retain the quality of the original Premiere Pro project?
This is urgent, as I need this rendered by Monday. Any help would be appreciated! Obviously, this is the first major project I've done this "workaround" with. I wish AME worked, but it doesn't for me.
Thanks!

By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
Hope that helps,
Seb

Encoder taking an age to process sequences from Premiere Pro CC

Hi
Relative newbie so please bear with.
I have a large number of Premiere Pro sequences that I need to encode to a custom setting. The source footage is HD MTS. The custom setting for export is H.264, 960 x 540, 25, 2.5mbp, 2 pass (to go to itunes-U).
I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3 with a Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
A twenty minute sequence with no filters/fx added and no other programmes running is taking my machine upward of 3hrs to encode - does this sound right? A colleague, running a similar setup (I'm awaiting exact specs) pops them out in fifteen minutes.
Is there anything I can do to speed up or are there any known issues?
Many thanks

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your response.
After looking in to it further, I don't think I am able to enable GPU acceleration with my Intel graphics card. Are you able to confirm that this is correct or suggest how I might enable it?
It takes the same time from 8.1 projects or projects updated to 8.01.
I'm running 10.9.5 OS X.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
John

Exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC is taking hours

I am new again to Premiere after a 10 year hiatus. I have Premiere Pro CC and as exciting as it is to have the entire suite of products, I feel like resorting to iMovie after trying to export. I was initially getting acquainted with After Effects and solved my render times there after a little frustration, but this seems to be taking me down!
I am creating a "movie" that will be projected on a 4:3 aspect, 20'x15' screen. I created a sequence that's 4 minutes long and it's got a .mov that I rendered from After Effects at the beginning, then a bunch of still images that each last around 5 seconds with a cross dissolve in between each. In the middle there is another .mov from After Effects (bubble effects).
I created the sequence with settings of: Editing Mode - QuickTime DV NTSC, 29.97 fps.
When I try to export the sequence, I use QuickTime for the format; the preset is NTSC DV. This sets the video codec to DV25 NTSC. I've tried rendering with this codec and changing the codec to mpeg-4. I've also rendered with the quality set to as low as 65% with the mpeg-4 codec.
Each time, the "Estimted Time Remaining" just climbs and climbs. I've managed to get to 13% encoded and the time remaining is around an hour, but keeps climbing with each percent rendered.
I have a 27" iMac with 3.1 ghz Intel Core i5 processor, 4gb memory and running OS X 10.7.5
If anyone can help me with export settings or a way to decrease the time, I'd very much appreciate it. I have searched for this topic and each solution I found involves exporting for the web.

Playing a sequence from premiere that has been sped up via time remapping.

I sped up a clip in a sequence in Premiere CS5. I then brought it into Encore (also CS5), via dynamic link, to create a DVD. It won't play smooth. It is jerky from that clip through the rest of the sequence.
plays just fine in Premiere.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Problems with Premiere Pro 2.0: sound lost after clip pasting

To integrate small projects to one bigger Project, it used to work well with Premiere Pro 1.5 in the following way: import small projects into the main sequence of the new project and, in parallel, copy the clips from the timeline of the small projects and past them into the timeline of the new project. However, I am encountering the following problems while trying to do the same thing with Premiere Pro 2.0:
·        Video and sound of every pasted clip becomes unlinked.
·        Although the sound was there (also shows in the wave view) right after the pasting and it can be rendered, but the audio Information gets lost as soon as I exit the new project (saved beforehand). If I re-open this new project, although the timeline shows all the pasted sound clips, but there is information in them - no sound (the wave views show only straight lines).
·        As well, some of the video and audio effect settings get lost (e.g. cross fading), but the effects such as brightness and contrast settings always remain.
·        At least one thing seems to be sure: the imported files themselves are ok. Newly created clips in the timeline from those imported files (dragged into the timeline) are fine - no information lost.
All tips are great helps. Thanks in advance.

I got it!
Though not described in the English HELP, but in the German HELP: I have to press the Shift and T Keys. It works in my case with the following steps:
1.     Mark the corresponding audio and video tracks
2.     Put CTI over the clip
3.     Press shift + T
4.     Double click the clip
5.     Eventually I have to repeat and press the keys shift +T again.
Thanks a lot once more for all of the hints and the detailed explanations. It is indeed a great help. I really appreciate it very much.

Exporting Video w/ Sound From Premiere Doesn't Play Correctly in After Effects.

I export a video from Premiere with sound and Import it into After Effects, however the sound seems to be sped up and glitching. The wave form is compressed and shows that the sound does not play for the actual duration of the video?

Premiere Pro playback Footage issue - W/ After Effects Composition

Hi, I've had a very irritating issue as of late.
I've been working on a project for the past couple weeks and it has been going well.
I use AVCHD 1080p 29.97fps 24p footage. It plays perfectly fine in my Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4. I have used After Effects to replace many parts of the footage and has gone very well... Except one piece of footage.
For what ever reason, it plays terribly only when I apply an After Effects composition to it. If it is the raw footage, it's fine. If I alter it in after effects it's fine. But if it's altered from AE and I attempt to play it in Premiere Pro it repeats old frames. A mixture of stuttering and several frames back through out the whole clip.
I have NO idea what caused it or why it's happening.
Does anyone know?
Thank You.

AVCHD footage is highly compressed using a GOP compression scheme. This makes it unsuitable for heavy processing and subject to all kinds of errors and artifacts when re-compressed. The best workflow is to convert (transcode) your AVCHD footage to a lossless or nearly lossless codec that preferably uses YUV color space. I work mostly on a Mac so my preference is Apple ProRez 444. I transcode everything that I work on that is going to require more than just straight cuts.
Try transcoding (Adobe Media Encoder or Compressor or even Quick Time Pro are a few of the options) your problematic clip, replace the AVCHD footage in your AE comp with the transcoded footage, then re-render to a lossless or nearly lossless codec. Bring your new render into PPro and render a preview. Let us know if this fixes your problem.

I need to be able to take my project from premiere elements and put it in after effects.

I need to keep the format the same, and also be able to see all individual clips and move them around/trim them in the workbar area in after effects just like what you can do in elements 11.

sam.loomis1234
The only way out of Premiere Elements 11 is via export in video format (except for jpegs or audio under Publish+Share/Computer/Image or audio).
The video is whole, not in a project file (project.prel).
And, the Premiere Elements 11 project.prel does not appear to be an After Effects supported project format

Macbook pro has no sound feedback after yosemite install

Got Yosemite installed and for some reason there was no sound when increasing/decreasing the volume through the keys or the slider. I tried to hear a youtube video but it was not working, I am using chrome so could see that there was sound on the video as there was an icon on the web page tab. I re-started and went to the system preferences>sound and found that by default in the general section, the sound feedback is disabled. I did not test the sound after the re-start so i dont know if there were two issues, but enabled the sound feedback and now I can hear the volume when moving the slider, also the music is playing fine through the internal speakers.

1. System Preference > Sound > Output
   Internal Speakers selected?
2. Try Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
   Choose the method for:

3. If there is red light visible in the headphone port plug the head phone into and out of the port
    couple of times to flip the microswitch inside. Sound may be stuck in digital mode.
4. Reinstalling iTunes may help sometimes.
Best.

Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap".
For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
Thank you!

Here is the solution: Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
shooternz wrote:
Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.

Pushing and pulling from Premiere Pro CS 5

Hi,
Recently, I came across a problem and I was wondering if you could confirm this is a limitation within Production Premium CS 5 or whether I am doing something incorrectly?
If I render a sequence within Premiere Pro and push it to Encore via Adobe Dynamic Link, the rendered sequence correctly shows its rendering within Encore. However, if I render my sequence, save, and exit from Premiere Pro and then start Encore and pull the sequence from Premiere Pro via the Adobe Dynamic Link, I don't necessarily keep the rendering. I know that this has happened when using a 64-bit plugin from a third-party. The sequence shows with a watermark as if it had never been registered. The problem further manifests itself by, when I restart Premiere Pro, while the rendering looks intact, if I click on the third-party plugin as if to modify it, it won't let me make changes until I delete the already rendered sequence. It seems like somehow, the sequence has become corrupted.
Any thoughts - is this a known problem? Has this been addressed with CS 5.5? Are there plans for this to be addressed? Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Steve

The pros are faster encodes with superior quality. I use the free HC Encoder for MPEGs. You'll also need Avisynth to use it. The process is somewhat cumbersome, but if you have the time and want the quality, it's noticeably better, in my opinion.
To add to this, I've been producing commercial blu-rays using the free x264 encoder. The quality is unmatched by any commercial encoder, however there are some features absent that some commercial producers need (such as the ability to directly place I-frames, re-encode a section of GOPs with different bitrate targets, etc. which commercial encoders like CineVision can provide). If you don't have any need for those, x264 is the way to go. As quality is more important to me than bitrate, I use the single-pass constant ratefactor "--crf" mode with something better than the default, like 18 or 16, and it has never let me down.
Just be prepared to wait a while if you have a longform project. x264 is very fast, taking advantage of multi-core machines, but it cannot utilize the GPU/CUDA for encoding. A 3.5 hour 720p60 project (over 750,000 individual frames) at maximum quality takes a full 24 hours to encode on a 3.2GHz core i7, with all hardware threads at 100% (so make sure your machine is stable if it is overclocked!).
