Stopping Premiere from conforming audio

I finished a project that included 30-40 full length movies and Premiere had to "conform" all the audio and created an addition 100 gig of hard drive space for this. I went into the temporary files and deleted all of the audio files but now I want to go back and work on the project and when I open it, Premiere is trying to conform all the audio again. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?? Also if I can stop it, is there a way I can manually tell it to conform single files of my choosing. I only used audio from two of the actual films, the rest of the footage plays over a different audio track and I don't need any of the original audio.

"To avoid conforming, use audio editing software, or transcoding software, to convert your files to natively-supported uncompressed formats at the supported sampling rates."
I found this in one of the articles. Can anyone recommend a free program for this? Another solution that would work for me is a free video editing program that I could clip out the portions of the films I need into smaller files. I'm only using 2-3 minutes from each 90-120 minute film. A free program that can preserve the same file type and HD quality of my original source. Any suggestions?

Problem with Premiere always conforming Audio again & again

I've got a problem with premiere CC which is always conforming audios time & again & again. Although this problem is not new in Premiere and I did face it in previous versions. But I've never found a good way to avoid it, especially when I work with much heavier clips or with some formats like mpeg or mov....
What should I do? Is that a network issue?
Thanks, Jim.

No Antivirus.
Audio is 5.1 audio from the video AVCHD, and music tracks are mp3 files.
Hardware: Intel i7 970 hex core processor, system drive (C:) 600GB 7500rpm, data drive (F:) where audio and video files are stored 10000rpm 500GB velociraptor, NVidia GTX 470 video card.

How do I stop iTunes from compressing audio/photos when transferred to IOS device? (iPad

Hello,
     I have noticed that 13GB of photo's only equals around 3GB on the iPad and iPhone. I noticed the same thing with audio. Although, I do not notice the compression with video.
     My question is, how do I stop it from compressing photo's if I want to? I understand it saves space, but what if I wanted to email the full size photo to someone. This also may defeat the purpose of some editing programs. I would like to know how to do the same with audio.
     It does not affect the original files in anyway, correct? Also, I using the manual drag and drop option for Movies and audio. I sync with the photos.

With syncing photos you can't change how they are synced, iTunes will 'optimise' them when copying them over to the device - and no, the original photos on your computer are not affected, iTunes creates separate 'optimised' versions of the photos on your computer and copies those over.
If you want the original versions of the photos on your iPad then (and if there were only a few that you wanted full-scale) you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app, or use the camera connection kit with your iPad to copy them via an SD card to it - photos copied via the kit are copied full resolution, they aren't changed.
Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which can copy photos to/from your computer via the 'file sharing' section on the device's Apps tab in iTunes, they will be copied as-is - that app can also copy photos to/from it and the Photos app.
For your music, on the device's Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, under the Options heading have you currently got the 'convert higher bit rate songs to ...' set ?

How to Stop Premiere From Ruining My Video from T2i

Hi all... I have a bunch of raw video I shot on my Canon T2i. The shots are in low light with controlled lighting on the person speaking so that to get the effect of a black background. Straight off of the camera, the darks look solid black (backgroud) and the light up portions look great. And of course, the sharpness if exellent off of this camera.
The problem I am having is when I bring these clips into Premiere and just overlay some naration (audio only) and export them, the look MUCH worse. Premiere is lighting up the picture and reducing the contrast in all the shots. How can I stop the program from doing this? I want the video to be just like it was straight off of the camera. I took a lot of time to set up the lighting and the exposure on the camera to get the shot right and do not want to change it in Premiere when I edit the audio.

You should use a program that can edit this video format natively. Final Cut will do it on a Mac. So will Quicktime Pro, which works on both a PC and a Mac and sells for $29 at Apple.com.
Otherwise, if you must use Premiere Elements to do your editing, you use Quicktime Pro to convert the video to DV-AVIs or 1440x1080 HDV-MPEGs.
Premiere Elements can not currently work directly with this video format.

Premiere Elements 11 stops importing from DV

Premiere Elements 11, Windows 8 32, External USB-HD
Hi,
I am trying to convert my friends' MiniDV videos. I work with a borrowed laptop that has Elements on it but I am not familiar with it. The import always stops after about 18:30 and I get an error message about filesize. The filesize is about 4GB. I vaguely remember some Windows restriction (from the old days). Could that be the reason? And how and where do I change that?
Another question: Is there a way to stop Elements from breaking the video into scenes? All my friends what is to transfer the videos to the harddisk. No fancy transitions, themes etc.
Thanks.

Hans
The good news is that you were able to capture your DV data with Windows Movie Maker if not Premiere Elements.
Since that is the case, I do not know if you have any more time or want to do any further troubleshooting on DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements Capture Window.
If you should, we might revisit a lot of what we did and then more.
a. Scratch Disks. Especially the Captured Video and Audio, but also any preview files or conformed video and audio files pile ups. Have you checked the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and Media Cache Folder? Has your computer been defragmented lately.
b. General computer optimization with a product such as ccleaner (regular and registry components).
c. In general for runtime error
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-c-runtime-errors-products.html
There is a Premiere Elements 11 preference file named Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs. On Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 64 bit it can be found in the path
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. Work with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path.
But, if you are working in Windows 8 32 bit, I am not sure where that would be...guess is
Local Disc C
Documents and Settings
Owner
Application Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder would be the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. Again, work with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path....just in case.
Thanks you for all your follow ups. Continued success with your projects.

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.

Stop Premiere Elements from downloading

I use a cellular Internet connection and pay per MB
Every time I open Premiere Elements it uses 25 MB
Updating is disabled but it has not stopped Premiere Elements
This does not happen with Photoshop Elements
This does not happen with any other application
All application Updating is disabled
I do Manual Updates for everything
I have a Wireless Watcher that shows every byte used
I have tested this with every application
This only happens with Premiere Elements
Just to be sure I disabled all Adobe applications
It does not download anything, Just uses up 25 MB each time
How can I stop Premiere Elements from using up my MB

Thanks for the reply:
In Preferences you can choose to not be notified about updates.
However there is no option not to check for updates.
So that is what is happening, it is always checking for updates.
There should be a option to disable checking for updates.
I disabled updates in Adobe Reader X and Flash Player and
it does not check for updates for those.
I check manually for updates because of my connection but
mainly because when there is a update available I will go to the source
and download the update and install it myself which is the better way.
I will look for a way to disable the automatic checking for updates by
Premiere Elements and if not found I will contact Adobe as you suggested.

How do I get the audio playback from the source monitor to work? I have the trial version of the latest premiere and the audio works in that but not cs6

Best way to import from iTunes & audio lock to video?

I just started with PrE 10 and am coming from years with iMovie HD6 (never liked the later versions). Can audio tracks be dragged from iTunes (by having 2 minimal sized windows of each application open) into the Project area? Or do you need to try and find each song by going through the whole Get Media File/Folder link process? I've tried dragging a few songs from iTunes, and it didn't seem to work (it was very easy in iMovie). I was able to add photos to the Project area from iPhoto by dragging them over from the iPhoto window.
Also, is there a way to lock (or link) the beginning of an added audio/soundtrack clip to a video clip, so that it does not inadvertently get moved, or so that if you move the video clip, or delete an earlier video clip, the locked audio goes with that video clip?
[Moved to the Premiere Elements main forum]

With Audio, you need to Import the file (Get Media), as Premiere needs to Conform the Audio, creating both a CFA (Conformed Audio) file, and a PEK (Waveform Display) file, and link to those.
Now, with iTunes, there can be some problems, though things have gotten a bit better recently. If you DO have an issue, you can create a Playlist in iTunes, and copy over all the files that you need for your Project, then burn a CD of that Playlist. The Audio-CD will be in the CDA container in as a WAV file, which should Import just fine, into PrE.
Actually, it might be easier, even if the iTunes music does Import, to create a Playlist in iTunes, where you can drag and drop right from the iTunes GUI, and then Import from that Playlist.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Elements 4 audio won't play on mp4 files, codecs missing/unavailable on .mov files

I dowlnloaded Premiere Elements 4, and when I import mp4 files, the video plays but the audio will not. I've also tried to import .mov files, and an error message pops up that says "Codec missing or unavailable." I downloaded the latest version of Quicktime, but that didn't change anything. The files will play back on the video camera, but I"m having trouble with them on my computer. The audio on the mp4 files plays in Quicktime, but not the video, and vice versa when I import them into Elements. Any suggestions?

Does Quicktime Pro also edit .mov files on a PC?

Premiere Elements 4 pretty much works with tape-based digital video. That would be video from a miniDV or HDV tape-based camcorder. It doesn't handle other formats very well.
If you plan to edit MP4s, you definitely want to upgrade to a more current version of the program. If you can't install a current version of the program, you may need to address issues on your computer (such as an outdated operating system or underpowered hardware configuration).
Short of that, you could buy Quicktime Pro from Apple for $29. It will edit MP4s, even on a PC platform.

How do i stop Safari from freezing while i'm surfing the internet?

Ok, so here's the problem. Every time I go onto Safari, it doesn't respond after i search for something on google or go on Facebook. now, i have to use Safari in Safe Mode each time and the audio is disabled so i can't watch or listen to music videos. Can someone tell me how to stop Safari from doing this? Thanks.

Maybe try another browser like Firefox.
Also, try creating a new user account on your mac, and log in to that, to see if you continue to have the same problems.

How do I stop iTunes from opening and playing a song every time I unplug my headphones?

I noticed today that iTunes was opening automatically and playing the first song in my library. Through some searching in the community here, I figured out it has something to do with when I jiggle the cable on my headphones, plugged into the headphone jack. I have an old late 2008 MacBook with all of the latest OS and iTunes, and I need to stop doing this. I flipped through the settings and the community and didn't find a solution other than "don't jiggle the cable".
I need to do some screen recording for work later on today and I don't want iTunes to keep opening and playing audio while I'm doing this. Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening software side instead of hardware side? It seems ridiculous to me that iTunes would just open up because my headphone jack moved a little.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Garrett,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes launching unexpectedly. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

How to avoid Conformed Audio in CS5.5 for large files?

I have been an avid hater of the conformed audio files since they were introduced. It's not like my 8 core computer can't mix audio in realtime.
Please Adobe is there ANY way to avoid them? What about for AME? there is no realtime playback in AME so i dont need conformed audio? yet it still makes them?
I need to drop a 322GB 14hour video clip into AME and re-encode it. what a nightmare! I have to wait for it to analyze and create a 9GB CFA file.
There is no reason i should not be able to simply drop a file into AME, pick my preset and click go, should be as simple as that.

Please Adobe is there ANY way to avoid them? What about for AME? there is no realtime playback in AME so i dont need conformed audio? yet it still makes them?
Nope; nope; Premiere Pro and AME use the same engine or "Media Core" so that's why; unfortunately.
The bottom line is that there is no way to avoid conforming for clips that "need" conforming. The more feature requests we make to end the madness, the better: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

How do you stop audiobooks from syncing to apple tv?

I'm syncing to my apple tv and I do not see an option to stop audio books from syncing. How do I stop audiobooks from syncing to my apple tv? Thanks!

Open iTunes.
Select the device.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
FYI, only the 1st Gen ATV has any content sync to it. The 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVs have no internal storage to store content.

It has messed up my being able to work on Facebook. It stops me from using the posting process and other things.

I am unable to using the posting feature on Facebook to share my comments. I also cannot "like" a feed or "comment" on a feed. It has also stopped me from accepting gifts sent to me, and I cannot message anyone.
Someone suggested that Firefox is blocking the pop-ups on Facebook , which is why I cannot use those features.
I also cannot use my media programs such as Lexmark Productivity Studio, HP media center, Windows media Center. It won't let me load pic from my camera into my computer.
All this is happening since I switched from IE to Firefox as my browser and recently to Firefox Beta. I like the speed of FF but not happy about certain features.
I am NOT a techno-nerd or whatever, and I can't afford to pay someone to fix things for me. However, I am a very good learner, as I am/was a grade school teacher.

All depends on what you're starting with and what you're exporting to. If you are exporting a self contained file using the sequences current settings then the export should happen pretty quickly. (length of the sequence and whether it has been rendered being the only real factors) Exporting a non self contained reference file should take even less time.
If you are converting your sequence on export then it will of course take longer depending on how much you are changing or compressing the file. And if you're working with HDV things can slow down dramatically as everything has to be conformed to i-frame.
