STILL NO FLUENT AVCHD-WORKFLOW in PPro CS6??? COME ON, ADOBE!

I am very pleased with my CS6 Suite. I cannot tolerate the fact, that an issue like the AVCHD-workflow in PPro CS6 isn't patched until today. AVCHD is a very common Codec and a professional NLE-Software has to able to handle it! Transcoding from one Codec to antoher and back is a time killer! It leaves my work less profitable. So what is the status quo at the moment? Please be honest and do not tell me "We know about the issue, but don't have a timeline yet.."
Thank you very much.
Best,
ABR

Please be honest and do not tell me "We know about the issue, but don't have a timeline yet.."
Well, which is it, honesty or a fabrication?
"Hi All,
My name is David McGavran, I am the Senior Engineering Manager on Premiere Pro.   We are aware of the issue and are able to reproduce it.    We are currently investigating what we can do about it.   We apologize for the issues and hope to be able to give guidance soon.   I will continue to check back in here and update you guys as we have more information.
Cheers

  • PPro cs6 - Audition cs6 - PPro, round trip problem

    I'm having trouble completing the round trip. I got my audio tracks from PPro CS6 to Audition CS6 without problems, right by the manual. But I'm having trouble getting that audio work back  into PPro.
    I'm working a mid-sized project (one hour class, two cameras, etc. headed for DVD). Got edit lock. Everything is done now except for cleaning up audio. After the audio I can send the whole lot to Encore for DVD making. But first, audio.
    Took the entire sequence to Audition  via PPro's  "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..."  path. This worked just fine. It pushed all the audio files to Audition, Audition opened up and gave me a "make an Audition project" dialog box, etc. Nearly 100 files came over to Audition, on the right tracks, in the right order. Very nice. Made my changes. So far so good.
    What I've read in the manual says that all I have to do when I'm done is "File...Save" in Audition, then PPro will have and use the changes. Sorta like Dynamic Link, but different. So I did the the project save.
    At this point, things deviated a little from the plan. I started up PPro, opened the project, and no sign of the Audition work. Can't find a file anywhere in the project panel that says Audition on it. The files on the timeline are still the dark green of the multi-camera edit, not the lighter green of an Audition file. When I've done this for individual clips, I've gotten back a file with a name like "*Audio Extracted_1.wav" that shows up with the same green as the Audition icon on my desktop.
    So I thought, fine. Not as easy as I had hoped. I'll just have to import it manually. But PPro doesn't seem to have any idea how to deal with a *.sesx file, which is the project file from Audition.
    Should I be exporting, say, a *.wav file from Audition (how?) and import that into PPro? And if I do, is there a good workflow to re-sync this audio with my video tracks?
    I'm confused. Don't know what I did wrong. Don't know what do to fix it. Don't know how to avoid this in the future. So any help gratefully received.
    Bruce Watson

    OK, now I *am* confused.
    Just did it again (a different DVD project however), as described in my original post. This time PPro stayed open for me. So I sent all the sequence audio files to Audition via the "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." comman, then did my editing in Audition, and saved it the Audition project. Go back to PPro, and... nothing. No sign of any file from Audition in the project panel. No sign on the time line. No sign of any Audition file anywhere in PPro that I can find.
    What gives? What am I doing wrong?
    What I did get was a folder at the same directory level as my PPro project file, a folder in it with the project_name I gave Auditon when it opened from the PPro  "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." command, and then two files for every clip in the project (a *.wav and a *.pkf), and finally two more files, a project_name.xml and a project_name.xml.sesx.
    I suppose I can export a *.wav file to PPro manually. Worked before. But I'd like to learn the "correct" way, the way Adobe intends it to work.
    Darned if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong though. Help???

  • PPro cs6 or future include Basic DVD Auth program

    Maybe it would be nice to see Adobe add a feature that was in PPro2 to CS6 or future versions , it was a basic DVD authoring program which worked very well, eazy and  solid ,I still use this on a weekly basic. There are many times I just need to make a basic dvd with basic chapters and buttons but do not want to uses Encore which is very time consuming. Could PE dvd program not some how be add to PPro CS? 
    Any thought

    I wouldn't get your hopes up on this one. With Dynamic Link capabilities, it's already so quick and easy to get into Encore that I doubt too many resources are going to be dedicated to getting direct DVD burning back into PPro.
    For me, it's really just as simple. The only downside I can think of is that you have to create an Encore project first, but other than that it's nothing.
    My workflow:
    - In PPro, select sequence to be used in play-only DVD (or Blu-ray)
    - File > Dynamic Link > Send to Encore
    - Create project file in Encore
    - Burn DVD (or Blu-ray)
    Unless I need/want some more specific control on the transcoding, i usually leave the settings on "Automatic" for a play-only DVD.
    You are welcome to file a feature request and try to encourage others to do the same thing here in the forum. I'm not trying to discourage you from doing that, but I do think it's unlikely to really GET much demand from other users, nor would it be a major timesaver over and above the current workflow.
    Just my 2 cents!

  • PPro cs6 error timecode.cpp-1014

    A PPro cs6 project I was nearly done with started giving me a popup window when opening the project:
    I hit the continue button and it carries on as if nothing had happened. So.... what's it mean? What can/should I do about it?
    For what it's worth, I just made the final release candidate disk for this project. Which makes me wonder.... I didn't get this until after I had dynamically linked this project to Encore cs6 to do the DVD thing. The proximity of the error to using Encore with this project makes me wonder.... and PPro and Encore did fight a lot about the chapter markers (I set them up in PPro and exported them to Encore, even learned how to do a manual reloading of the chapter markers in Encore "from the source" as it's called).
    In any case, the disk looks perfect; I couldn't find anything wrong with it at all. Client is going to watch it end-to-end also, and exercise the menus too. Then it's off to the duplicator. But I'd like to fix this weirdness before I archive the project. I don't want it to bite me in the tail when I have to open this project back up to make a new trailer or teaser, or if the client decides to make a blu-ray edition.

  • PPro CS6 Crashes on Exit in Windows 7 64bit

    With any PPro project, when I click to exit the program, there's about a 1-2 second delay, the PPro window is dimmed and a few seconds later a dialog pops up stating that "PPro CS6 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Closing this dialog then closes PPro. I've uninstalled Production Premium, cleaned out the registry and re-installed it but it still occurs even with default settings.

    Well, it appears that my workspace, that I've used over the past couple of years, was causing the problem. After changing workspaces and creating a new one (and unchecking Import workspace from projects), things are working properly again. I guess it somehow got corrupted. Wow, something so simple.

  • Why Poor DVD quality Encore CS6 with Sony FS100 MTS files from PPro CS6

    I am using PPro CS6 on a MAC Pro Quad zenon with Boot Camp. On PC side I was using PPro CS6 & Encore CS6 with MTS files from  Sony NX 5U with NO Problems.
    I just started using a Sony FS100 recording 1080i (60) format MTS files. When I Dynamic Link to Encore, the quality of the image is very soft compare to image from previous
    projects with MTS files from Sony NX 5U.When I open a previous NX5U project, it still displays and creates an excellant dvd.Need help in solving problem.

    Thanks for the advice. I tryed your method with same results.
    I then tried changing project quality settings with somewhat better results
    but not good enough results.
    I looked at some of my previous dvds that used mts files from my Sony NX5U
    and the quality was much better
    that any results I am having using the Sony FS100 mts files. Even still
    pictures do not look good now in Encore.
    I then tried using Roxio Creator 10 Pro to make a dvd.
    The results were excellant! Video files and stills are great.
    I noticed that Encore CS6 is using the "Main Concept" codec to transcode.
    Has something changed in the basic
    settings with my Encore and can I reset my Encore to original defaults???
    Any advice would be welcomed...Thanks again.

  • PPro CS6, error reading *.psd files

    My old NLE laptop is dying, so I built a new desktop earlier this year and loaded Production Premium CS6 on it as my second copy. Laptop is retired now, more or less, and the desktop is all I use. This installation went on without a hitch, took my serial number, I logged into my Adobe account, etc. The install was perfectly smooth. I copied all the old project files over from the laptop, but them in the same places (same drive letter, same directory names) on the desktop, opened up a project to be sure it would I got everything in the right place, everything looked good, everything seemed to work. Then for reasons that are irrelevant to this, I was unable to actually use the software for months.
    Anyway, thinks get back to normal, and I went to edit an older project on the desktop. When the project opened, I got the red screen (media offline) from where I had Photoshop illustrations (stills) in the timeline. All other files opened. All the video, all the music, etc. But none of the Photoshop files.
    I opened up my stills folder in the Project panel, and it's showing all the files, but with question marks where the little Photoshop graphic used to be in front of the file name.
    I thought this was no biggie, just had to relink PPro to those files. So I left click on the film icon, select Link Media from the drop down, and point it to the correct file. Up pops a box that says "The importer reported a generic error." Yuck. Must be a corrupted file.
    So I bring up Photoshop CS6, open the file, and it opens just fine. No error, no problem, no corruption, looks fine. So I made a small change, took it back out, and saved the file, thinking that a re-write of the file might help. But... no. No help, same error.
    Hmmm... Created a brand new file from a random photograph. Saved it in the same format (psd). Tried to import that file using the media importer, trying to see if a different pathway through the software will help. Nothing doing. When I try to import through the Media Browser panel, I get the same popup box, giving me the same error message, for this brand new file.
    So... What's up with this new instance of PPro CS6 not being able to import *.psd files from it's companion app Photoshop CS6? I did this for years with that old laptop, never had a hickup, and every time I made a change in Photoshop, PPro picked up the change like magic. Which is why we use the Adobe software, yes? So I'm thinking it should work the same way on this new desktop.
    Just to test my sanity, I fired up the old laptop, did the same thing (new file, import into PPro project) and it worked just fine. So I'm thinking it's not PPro, but something about my new installation on this new desktop. But everything else works just like it should (only way, way faster).
    New PC information:
    Win8.1 64bit
    Intel i7-4770K processor
    16GB memory
    C: drive is an SSD, Samsung 840 EVO, 250GB
    D: and E: are WD 1TB SATA 6GB/S 7200rpm drives
    So... what have I done wrong? And how do I correct it?

    One final thing. And this is just freaky to me. I can use PPro to create a Photoshop file, via "File...New...Photoshop file". Put this file I called "test_v1" in the same directory as the other *.psd files that I can't import. It shows up in the explorer. When I click on it in explorer, it brings up Photoshop, just like it should. What I get is an empty file with the title and action safe zone guides.
    I cancel out of Photoshop without changing or re-writing the file. I try to import this file that PPro just created. I get the same "generic error" that PPro can't read the file.
    So... anyone got a clue? I can't be the only person in the history of Adobe that's gotten this error.

  • New GPU Quadro k5200 installed and having problem with my AE, PPro CS6  not using the GPUs cuda.

    Hi guys, I recently bought a workstation from BOXX tech with a new GPU Quadro k5200 installed in it.
    I am having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 using the GPUs cuda.
    I went to Nvidia Settings and use the specific App to select it to use GPU n- Quadro k5200. But still not working.
    Please help

    If you edited the Cudatextfile in the Adobe Premiere CS6 directory correctly then the acceleration should be enabled. The only way it it's not is if you have the wrong driver for that version of Adobe or did not edit the text file with the exact name of the card. You can use the GPUsniffer in that same Premiere directoy with the command prompt to see the name the GPU should be listed as. The Ray Tracer file in AE has to be edited with the same listing.

  • Windows PPro CS6 (evaluation version) crashes when opening (simple) projects

    Hi.
    I'm encountering a problem in Windows 7 x64 with PPro CS6 (installed as part of the evaluation version of the Master Collection). It occurs both with the version I downloaded using the Adobe download helper tool, and the patched version (that is, after applying the bunch of updates of the master collection). I can reproduce it reliably:
    1) Open PPro, create a new project and a sequence (HDV).
    2) Add a MTS clip into the project, put it to the sequence.
    3) Save the project
    4) Close PPro, Restart it
    5) Open the project that was just saved
    What happens is that the application simply crashes/becomes unresponsive. In the monitor window I see that yellow-ish image telling me that media files are being loaded. I can't say PPro is a very useful application when it does not support to open projects xD.
    What can I do? I simply assume that this behavior is not a feature, so.... maybe the problem is with my system configuration? Note that I do not have QuickTime installed, and I don't intend to do so (I'm avoding anything remotely related to Apple).

    Why would you put an AVCHD clip into an HDV sequence?
    HDV is specific to video from a HiDef TAPE camera, not a file from a newer type of camera

  • New Pond5 plugin for PPro CS6

    Just got an e-mail from Pond5 about a beta plugin for PPro CS6. Curious what everyone thinks about it:
    http://www.pond5.com/adobe
    This is definitely something I was hoping to see one day (had actually mentioned it in a recent survey).

    First off....Anyone install this yet?
    This is kind of funny....I just saw this for the first time on Pond5's website and thought it was something that was new, due to NAB15.....after a search here, I'm shocked. It's been a thing since over 2 years ago?? Wow, I never knew....I think its a great idea, but had some reservations about the integration. Wondering if it screws up anything or runs smooth as butter? I too think it is amazing that you can edit with the proxy and conform right to the HD after purchased. Still scared to install, due to my system running very well lately after getting my hands on a new Mac Pro. Don't worry, I've been part of the whole discussion about the 2013 Mac Pro render glitch thingy...Hence me grabbing one of the new ones when they got to the office and I did the switcherooo.

  • PPro CS6 FPS Interpret Preview Failure

    I have been working on a wedding video and I have needed to interpret some 60fps footage to 23.976fps.  I did it the way I always do it by going to modify and interpret footage then changed the fps.  This time however I can only preview part of the footage on the preview window, the rest turns black.  If I take just the black part of the video, however, and put into the timeline it turns into the footage it is supposed to be.  I still can't see it in the first preview window though!!!!  I need to go through a lot of interpreted footage so it would be nice to be able to preview it!  Any way to fix this?
    PPro CS6 on an imac.

    Hi Kevin, I will do the bug report.
    Hi Steve, that probably is true. The NeatVideo plug-in in AE and PPro is also the same - at least the technician in NeatVideo claims that. So, then it must be PremierePro itself reading or interpreting the .R3D files incorrectly.
    Remembering that NV plug-in asks the host application for adjacent frames, I made also an experiment (in PPro) with how much is cut from the beginning of the clip with the following results:
    - as told before, if the clip is not shortened from the beginning, NV gives good results
    - if I shorten the clip only one or two frames, the result is not much worse
    - if I shorten the clip ten frames, the results are getting worse
    - if I shorten the clip couple of seconds, the results are getting even worse
    - the more I shorten the clip from the beginning, the worse results I get...
    The clip I've tried has steady movement (the camera moves steadily in one direction). Therefore, I guess PPro gives different time references for the frame played and the adjacent frames NeatVideo plug-in is asking for. If the clip has been shortened on the timeline only a bit, then they still work quite well as references for NV to be used. And the more the clip has been shortened on the timeline, the less the "asked frames" work as a good comparison. It seems as if NV plug-in asks frames based on the length of the original clip, and PPro gives frames counted from the beginning of the edited clip on the timeline. Hence the bad quality.

  • PPro CS6 Blurriness

    I think my issue may or may not be related to this discussion:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4488446?tstart=0
    I'm having some serious issues with output from PPro CS6. The screenshots below should illustrate the issue very well.
    This first pic is using the Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) with hardware acceleration. This is with the video paused. This is how the video should look. Notice how sharp and clear the picture and text are:
    This next pic is still using MPE hardware, but the video is now playing. Notice how the text gets soft and the picture gets very grainy:
    Due to the title being on this sequence, even with MPE hardware enabled, I get a red line over the title. So this next pic is after I rendered the timeline (using ENTER key render only) with the video paused. The picture looks better, but still slightly soft - at least the horrible grain is gone. BUT, now the text is very blurry and there were artifacts introduced to the lower third around the text.
    Next is the same same MPE hardware enabled, rendered sequence, but now it's playing - not much difference, but ever so slightly softer:
    The next pic is with MPE software only, paused, unrendered. Everything is now softer, and the pic gets blurry and darker. Actually, everything gets a bit darker and for some reason, the drop shadow on the pic turns almost black:
    Next is with MPE software only, playing, unrendered. Everything still dark, but now the pic is full of grain:
    Next is with MPE software only, paused, and now rendered. Still dark, but grain is gone from picture. Text is now blurry with artifacts around it:
    And last, with MPE software only, rendered and playing. No difference from the previous 'paused' state:
    Obviously, something is broken in PPro CS6! This is really cramping my style. I'm also having a lot of trouble with crawling titles - they are stuttering and blurring when moving across the screen. This actually applies to any graphics moving across the screen, not just titles.
    Anyway, I really hope Adobe fixes this soon...it would make my life much easier!

  • XA10 AVCHD workflow

    Hey everyone,
    As Apple is frustrating me to no end, I am slowly trying to get used to Premiere, but this means establishing a new workflow.
    When using final cut I would convert the AVCHD footage to ProRes. This worked great accept for the large file sizes.
    I know Premiere can handle AVCHD natively, so that was a plus. I shot an event last week which was around 2 and 1/2 hours long. This would be HUGE as a ProRes file.
    So in Premiere I selected my preset, AVCHD 30 Progressive 1920x1080. First thing I noticed is that I have a red bar above the footage and had to render the entire work area for good quality playback. This took several hours.
    Then when I went to export I tried to go straight to mpeg 2 DVD, but it would take something like like 10-15 hours, so instead I exported "sequence settings" which ended up being 1920x1080 30p .mpeg file. The resulting file is a much more acceptable size at around 29gb vs 300 as ProRes.
    Try to bring the MPEG file into Media Encoder and the program freezes. Compressor on Apple's end doesn't do much better.
    So i'm obviously doing something wrong, and was wondering what the best AVCHD workflow would be for Premiere.
    Many thanks.

    there's your problem. thats a pretty underpowered processor for avchd. i have a quad core 3ghz, and still is a struggle at times, but neither of us have a Cuda Card for MPE. (its not that important to me, but i dont mind doing edits unrendered cause i dont do anything breathtaking, yet). not familiar with pro-res cause i have neevr used final cut, but how long did it take to convert from avchd to pro-res? anywho, when i get ready to do the final export, i just set it to go overnight and leave it, and it works fine until i can get something that chews the avchd faster.
    Then when I went to export I tried to go straight to mpeg 2 DVD, but it would take something like like 10-15 hours, so instead I exported "sequence settings" which ended up being 1920x1080 30p .mpeg file. The resulting file is a much more acceptable size at around 29gb vs 300 as ProRes.
    i have a problem with this... you are essentially compressing your footage twice, which is never good. going to mpeg2 sequence settings first, is essiantially an intermediate format (and not a good one, either) may as well just encode it to avi or prores, you'd atlest get a better intermediate. but Premiere doesnt have a NEED for intermediates. until you get a more powerful pc, i just sugest encoding it, leaving it. sleeping, take a shower, eating breakfast, and you should be good as gold.
    a better intermediate if your workflow requires would be lagarith avi, but i would suggest droping in AVCHD in a sequence matching assets timeline, do your edits, then export as mpeg2 dvd, and just find a way to occupy your time while it works. thats what i do for the time being until i can get a system like jim, or Harm has.

    I found out that PPro CS6 supports the following combination: PNY Quadro 6000 w/ Tesla C2075.
    What about the Quadro K6000? Can PPro at least leverage the same performance from the K6000 as it would have from the (non-K)6000 or is it not supported at all?
    If the latter, as of when will the compatibility be rolled out to end users?
