Strips in files when encoding in Premiere Pro CS5 to Mediaencoder

Hello,
since a short time I moved to Creative Premium Pro CS5. Unfortunatelly I have several issues when rendering jobs. In CS 4 32 Bit export via Mediaencoder worked fine. Now when I use the same Peoject from CS4, load it into CS5 Premiere Pro and export the sequenz to a an AVI or .mpg file (does not depends on what kind of export file), I have color strips vertically in the ranges of dissolves, left and right in the picture. This disturbs when playing the file on a PC-Mediaplayer. When I check the highest render quality in the media encoder, then the strips are away. Is that a bug in CS5?
Thanks for any answer.
André

Exsternal harddrive drops out, when using adobe premiere pro cs5. Cant load projects. any one had this problem or the answer to it?

I have two WD external hard drives that i keep all my video files, music and adobe premiere pro cs5 projects on. Up until 2 days ago they were working perfect, now they drop out when i try and load my projects from them, or watch a movie from them. tried restoring from two weeks ago and nothing changed. I get that error msg when i try and load something. The error msg is the one that comes up when you disconnect a usb drive without ejecting it correct. I don't think its the drives as i only use one most the time, and the other just sits there not connected, but that are now having the same issues. Help me plaza

yea i am using the right sequence

Encore CS5 hangs when called by Premiere Pro CS5 using Dynamic Link

Need help from folks,
Have done so far:
1. unistall CS5 package , reinstall CS5 package Production Premium. Reinstall all updates. Still get the problem.
2. Problem seems to be pop-up screen do not accept any 'click' to input answer to Encore CS5
3. Premiere Pro CS5 working fine
Please help.

Thanks again pointing out the Adobe CC Cleaner URL
When I said CCleaner previously, I was refering to a program that clean out garbages from PC (broken links, shortcuts, temp files, etcetera..)
But late on, I have found out Adobe CC Cleaner (for Creative Cloud and CS5, CS6...) for cleaning Adobe craps after un-install.
I just wish the hotline could mention it and not having me to swim to find out that tool does exists saving some precious time.
Here is the status and what I have done to fix the problem:
...yeah, I was shooting in the dark...
1. Uninstall completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (remove preferences)
2. Run Adobe CCleaner (choose "all")
3. Shutdown PC, reboot and Cleanup and Defragment C: drive
4. Re-install completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
5. Re-apply completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
       (note: for some reason, I need to do it three times to get the complete updates done, just retry and no changes between retry)
6. Result : PremierePro still working fine, still hangs on Encore
       (Encore dialog screen was frozen as before from the begining and I had to use "Window-Task-Manager" to "end-the-task" of Encore)
7.Conclusion: the problem is on the PC not AdobePremiereProduction
8. Decision: Restore previous checkpoint of Window-7 Professional components
9. Redone steps 1,2,3,4,5
10. The result is the same as mentioned in point 6 and the conclusion is the same as mentioned in point 7.
11. Ultimate Decision: Ground-zero style resfresh (see the follwoing steps)
12. Separate Data from Window-7 (Move out all data from PC and unplug all connected portable hard drives
13. Factory restore of Window-7 Professional using DVD-rescue (hard drive C: wiped out and reformatted)
14. Apply all Updates for Window-7 Professional (over 121 updates, over 700Mb and many shutdown-reboot)
15. Reconfigure Wireless for connecting to Internet
16. Re-Install McAfee Antivirus
17. Re-Install some usefull Softwares (Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, etcetera... Shareport for wireless USB Printer)
18. Lot of Canon and Sony Softwares not re-installed because not used and not needed for now
19. Clean install AdobePremiereProduction CS5 (no need to run Adobe CCleaner)
20. Apply all updates for AdobePremierProduction CS5 (result is intermittent and have to retry few times to get it completed)
21. Apply one by one updates for every single Adobe product to get it done\
22. Shutdown and cleanup C: drive and defragment C; drive
22. From now on, I am sure to have a FRESH an CLEAN PC with a CLEAN CS5
23. RESULT: AdobePremierePro-CS5 still working perfectly AS BEFORE
24. RESULT: AdobeEncore-CS5 standalone do not hang ANY MORE
      but get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks) new
24. Get message saying QUICKTIME not installed (with warning)
25. Okay, install QUICKTIME from Apple to please CS5
26. Shutdown PC, reboot PC just to be sure everything kick in properly
27. RESULT: same as in point 24 (get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks)
28. It's SHOOT in the DARK, ON MORE TIME, BABY
29. Focusing on MicroSoft Visual C++ component: Comparing Installed products between my OLD PC and the freshly factory restored one
30. The old PC has Microsoft Visual C++ 2005,2008 and 2010 (both x64 and x86)
31. the new PC only has Microsoft Visual C++ 2008,2010 (both x64 and x86)
32. Decision : Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (both x64 and x86) (trying to have same softwares on both PC)
33. Reboot PC after install
34. AMAZING RESULT: Adobe-Encore-CS5 is functionning OKAY
35. Testing time: I created a very small project in AdobePremierePro-CS5 and I was able to DynamicLink to Encore-CS5 and I was able to create on disk a DVD
      and I was able to play that DVD
36. DID I DO ALL THOSE STEPS FOR NOTHING, WHY IT WAS SO COMPLICATED,
      I WILL TEST IT AGAIN WITH MY BIG PROJECT (76 Ggis and 1 hour 18 minutes Blu-Ray) sometimes this week
     I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME TROUBLESHOOTING AND I AM LOOSING MY CREATIVITY (....LOL...)
      BELIEVE ME, I AM EXHAUSTED AND NEED SOME REST.
37. The End

My 2014 MacBook Pro with retina displays crashes when I run Premiere Pro CS5

Hi,
I just purchased a 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display with the following specs:
2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz
16 GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
I am running Premiere Pro CS5 with Mercury Playback GPU Acceleration enabled, but my computer keeps freezing and I have to restart it every time. Any kind of help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I had to call Apple and the tech made me enter a bunch of terminal commands to fix this. Unfortunately I can't tell you excactly what it was. I think the best way would be to call Apple.

Slow Encoding in Premiere Pro CS5

Hey there,
I'm working with Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1 (CS5), and I've found that it encodes very slowly (taking hours to encode 15 minutes of very simple video cuts). Looking over my system's performance, my hard drive isn't impacted at all (it has a dedicated hard drive for video production), and my memory still has 4GB free (20 GB in use). The only resource I'm hurting on is CPU (it's using 100% of my quad-core i7-4820K with hyperthreading turned on). From what I understand, I can't use NVIDIA CUDA to encode.
I suspect that my preset settings are the problem. The original format is MPEG-2 (NLE) at 29.97 FPS. I'm encoding to H.264 (HDTV 720p 29.97 FPS). Render at maximum depth is turned on and frame blending is turned off (let me know if there's a better way to preserve the original quality of the video). It's just the present, and no other alterations. Should I be using any other encoding before importing it into Premiere Pro? Should I use another present when exporting?
Thanks for your time,
Gareth
PS: What is the lowest version of Premiere Pro that uses CUDA for encoding? Thanks!

Blackmagic AVI File Not Working in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I've got a file captured from a BlackMagic Intensity Card that I want to import into a Premiere CS5.5 project, yet Premiere just shows it as a blank green video. The file plays back in VLC, QuickTime, etc. but not in Premiere! Anyone know why? Details of the file are below.
File Path: E:\marc_screen
Type: Blackmagic AVI File
File Size: 85.5 GB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:14:43:23
Average Data Rate: 99.1 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
############### BMD Importer Supplemental ###############
AVI File Details:
Timecode:
Reel name: ''
User timecode:
Alternative reel name: ''
Contains 1 video track(s) and 1 audio track(s).
Interleave: 1 : 1.00 (conforming required)
Video Track 1:
Size is 1.35G bytes (average frame = 64.10K bytes)
There are 22098 keyframes.
Frame rate is: 25.0000 fps
Frame size is: 1920 x 1080
Video format is 'UYVY' 422 8-bit ITU-R 601
Audio Track 2:
Size is: 161.8506M bytes
Rate is: 48000 samples/sec
Sample size is: 16 bits

I use the card purely for external monitor previewing, so I continue to use the native codecs. However, you need to use a BM timeline preset to drive the output to the external monitor via the BM IP card.
Once editing is complete, it is a doddle to cut and paste all clips used in the sequence into a timeline using an Adobe preset, thereby losing the external monitoring.
A word of caution: I am unable to upgrade to CS5.5.1 on my Win 7 64 system, and have it on reasonable authority that it is because I have the BM IP installed. The upgrade is fine on my non-BM IP laptop!

Batch import MXF on Premiere Pro Cs5 (Panasonic P2) ?

HI,
Does anyone know of a way to import more than one mxf file at a time without having import the content folder as separate files? To be clear. I know several ways of import mxf files into premiere. The first is to simply click File>Import and browse for the file. Another way is via the media browser and yet another is to right click on the project panel and selecting import. They all share the same problem. You can only import one file at a time because you need to select the mxf file within the video subfolder. Premiere then composites the audio and the video together. If you instead select the 00#### folders you can select more than one but you get whole bunch of separate audio and video files for each clip. (You do also get a composite file but the extra files are a nightmare when it comes to organizing). This is what the file looks like when you browse for it using the Flie>Import or the right click>import methods:
The Media browser option is slightly diferent in the once you browse into the 00#### folder you see the composite file instead of the contents folder. But still you can't select more than one file at a time unless you only browse into the 00#####'s parent folder Then you can select all the 00#### folders but you get the same jumbled mess of files you get by trying this the other way. You can just drag them to the project panel or right click>Import to import the files. This is what it looks like:
The problem is this is what the file looks like when you import the folder:
The only necessary file in that whole folder is the last one. So does anyone know a way to import more than one mxf file at a time that only produces one file per clip in premiere pro CS5?

Ah, yes... you're sort of in a tough spot. The Dual Adapter has been the source of much consternation since the advent of P2. Addonics makes an adapter that works decently on PCs, but is also a no-go on Macs.
You have a couple of options, as I see it:
Keep on keepin' on... not fast or friendly, but if it works for you, so be it
Partition your Mac Book's hard drive so that you can install 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard). That way, you could boot into 10.5 in order to use the Dual Adapter to offload cards, and then boot back to 10.6 for editing.
If you are a Mac-only-kind-of-guy, pick up an old PowerBook that actually has a CardBus/PCMCIA slot--it'll work just fine for offloading.
If you are willing to dabble in PC land, do a little research on small, inexpensive Windows laptops that either have a CardBus slot, or have an ExpressCard slot and will work with the Addonics adapter (the Dual won't work on Windows Vista/7, and probably won't since it's been discontinued).
Pick up the Panasonic AJ-PCD2 single-slot USB reader. It's the long overdue appliance the P2 shooting world has been clamoring for.
They're all viable, and arranged roughly in the order from cheapest to "less cheap." Other than #1, I'd say just about any of them are decent solutions. Personally, I suggest the PC laptop route--even if you single-purpose it for offloading P2 cards, it will prove to be the most flexible and robust solution.
As for the logging, maybe we don't need more thrid party software. Maybe
the answer lays in cross compatibility with the current software.
Premiere=FCP=Vegas=Avid. Seems like less steps to me having the metadata
embed on the clip.
That would be the ideal, but unfortunately, the NLEs are incapable of editing the file metadata for any MXF clip. Rather, they can edit the clip metadata for a particular imported clip, but then that stays with the project itself, and doesn't travel with the files if they go elsewhere. So at this time, logging outside of an NLE is really the only means of associating usable, transferable metadata with a particular shot.

Hi Steve,

Why is Premiere Pro CS5 slower on my system than Premiere Pro CS 4?

I just upgraded from Production Premium CS4 to Production Premium CS5. Have Windows 7, 64 bit OS, 9 GB ram,
Intel I-7 quad 2.67 processors (over clocked to 2.90 ghz) with hyperthreading. I have nothing of any real substance
operating on my system besides Adobe. I have just loaded in a ton of DVC PRO HD 60 footage and am editing a 30 minute
program. Once I am in Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5, it works fairly well, everything works well real time. However, the moment
I click outside of Premiere Pro like to my desktop, then try to click back into Premier Pro, my screen goes white, Premiere Pro says
"not responding" in the title bar and everything freezes for about a solid minute. CS 4 did not do this at all. Anyone know what is happening?
Tks. eddiem

Thank you Harm for the info so far. I appreciate it. Seeing that this is an issue, let me give you a little more data than I might normally do in the hopes of helping to resolve this issue and possibly, you will be able to distill from this something of use for all of us.
I tried out what you said to do, clicking in the timeline first or even while the blue wheel is in motion, but it makes very little difference. Let me give you a little more info. As an attempt to have resolved this which I have not, I am essentially working offline and the problem still persists. I have internet connection disabled, I have all anti-virus and firewalls turned off, I have gone through the task manager and have ended every single process not essential to running Premiere Pro CS5.
All it takes is for me to click on the desktop with nothing open and then click back to the Premiere Pro CS5 window whether it be in the timeline or anywhere and I get the blue circle going. When I do what you say, even while the blue wheel is going, and I try to click on the timeline, the premiere pro window goes white with the blue wheel still going and locks up for at least a minute.
Some other outpoints that may be related to the same issue:
Additionally, when using the media browser and I double click on the P2 media thumbnails to bring the media to the source window, I get a long delay
to load the footage. Usually about 10-15 seconds for EACH piece just to view it. Needless to say, this makes editing essentially impossible. I have also tried settings on the memory preferences section changing between "performance" and "memory" not really knowing if that would have anything to do with it, but it didn't.
Another mysterious thing is that my editing tools window never shows up even, even when I reset the editing workspace (window-workspace-reset current workspace (with "editing" bulleted). I have to manually open up the window and then drag and drop it back to its normal place each time.
Needless to say this is making the experience terrible.
I checked my loaded and running programs to further resolve this to make sure I did not have some unknown system drain, and happened to see I still had the old Production Premium CS 3 installed but not running, so I uninstalled that and it made no difference. It hadn't been running anyway.
What is frustrating, Harm, is that my Premiere Pro CS4 was running great. When I started working with P2 media on CS 4 on the same system, I had noticed a similar lag in loading P2 media which I thought was odd, but I NEVER had the delay and blue wheel and white screen clicking from one application to another. The only time on CS4 I even experience a slow was when I had PPro4, AE4, AME4 and Encore 4 all opened at the same time!
Funny thing though, when I have Premiere Pro CS5 and AE CS 5 opened, AE runs fine, but Premiere seems to be hog and is just slow. I never have a problem going in and out of the other Production Premium applications.
I am using an Asus computer, with Intel Core i7 processor 920 @ 2.67ghz. I have standard overclocking software, and when I overclocked my processor to run as an i7-940-2.93 ghz, that lag on the loading the P2 media into the source window went away on CS4.
However, since being on CS5 it now does the same thing.
It is so bad that I thought I okay I will go back to CS 4. However, now when I try to use CS 4, it is doing the same thing, yet this did not do that before installation of CS5!
Let me give you just one more bit of data in the hopes that it may help in resolving this. The way I installed Production Premium CS 5 was first via
the trial software. While that was downloading, I purchased the software and I installed the serial number at the time of installation. The reason I mention this is that before I purchased it, I was interested in seeing if CS5 would handle a codec problem I was experiencing going from premiere pro to encore DVD ( this will be the subject of another thread) and I was assured by the salesman it would (it didn't) and that the trial software is fully functional!
Well, that is untrue, and the salesmen and the sales supervisors (spoke to them all) are very seriously misinformed. The Trial version is NOT fully functional, however, you do not find out about it until you actually get the download page and then it clearly says in small print that encore and various HD codecs are not operational as well as some AE aspects on the trial version.
The reason I tell you this is that I don't know if installing via the trial software version makes any difference in how it sets up.
The significance of this is that I was told that Premiere Pro, After Effects and Encore build upon CS4 and you cannot uninstall CS 4 before loading the upgrade to CS5 nor should you uninstall it afterwards.
So this now possibly explains why the previous CS 4 I have on the system is also now responding just like CS5. (I don't know if it makes any difference, but CS5 installed Premiere Pro, After Effects and Encore in the C:\Window\Programs folder yet all other components are installed in the C:\Windows\Programs(86) folder. (My dynamic links work fine (so far) between Premiere and AE and Encore)
Okay, Harm, sorry I wrote so much but possibly this will help, and I hope there is something I can do immediately to resolve these serious delay (lag) issues.
PS: I have three internal hard drives. CS5 is installed on the C drive same as my OS and all my footage and premiere pro pjts are saved onto a different drive. Everything is 7200 rpm, 1TB, Sata 3Gb/s.. Except the internal drive where the PrPro Pjts and footage are stored is 2TB , 7200 RPM and 6Gb/s.

Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

Hi Folks,
I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

Sorry for your troubles.
Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable. Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen. Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so. And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

Try turning off GPU acceleration.

Encoder Options For *.wmv Files re Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I have a collection of *.wmv files that Premiere Pro CS5.5 refuses to open and it always generates an error message so I need to re-encode these *.wmv files into a format that Premiere Pro will import OK. I know that Premiere Pro will open *.wmv files so I think that the ones I have must have some data structures slightly out of normal. The files actually play with VLC and open with Sony Vegas so they are not corrupt.
What I hope to do is to use an encoder that will re-encode the files without any loss of video quality into another format or even into a slightly renamed *.wmv file in the hope that the re-encoded version of the *.wmv file will then be palatable to Premiere Pro.
Would anyone please be able to recommend an encoder that is suitable for my needs? On a final point, as a total novice with video, what aspects on re-encoding would cause loss of video quality or is there no loss of quality when re-encoding? Apologies for such a dumb question but I really am a newbie to all this.
Rgds

If you can get the files open with Vegas, you could probably export them using Lagarith Lossless Video Codec or Ut Video Codec Suite, both of which are lossless AVI codecs that work nicely with Premiere Pro. PPro needs the 64-bit version, but I don't know enough about Vegas to know if you need 32-bit or 64-bit, so just install both. Note that the files will be much larger, but will not suffer any perceptible quality hit.
I'm not sure of any way to do a WMV rewrap--I'll see what I can find.

Why does Premiere Pro CS5 eat up space on my C drive when it conforms video files?

Hey everyone. I have Premiere Pro CS5 with the latest update installed. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a 120GB Corsair SSD drive. I have set my scratch disk video and audio previews to a different hard drive (F: drive). I have three questions:
1. Why does Premiere eat up space on my C drive whenever it conforms the video files I import into my project?
2. Where on my C drive can I find the folder that holds all these conformed video files that are taking up space on my C drive?
3. How do I prevent Premiere from eating up space on my hard drive when it conforms the video files I import into my project? Is there some way to move whatever folder is eating up space on my hard drive when Premiere conforms the video files and tell Premiere to conform the video files on another hard disk so I don't lose precious space on my C drive?
Okay, that's four questions but, can some please help me on this? Thanks.
Okay, that's five questions.

hello,
i think you need to relocate you media cache files to a separate drive other than your c: drive.
in the hardware forum, Harm has done a wonderful job at advising on HDD setup, i think it mentions relocation
of swap file, media cache, etc. all which are defaulted to your c: in your user profile
after relocating to different physical drives (all without partitions) performance usually increases

hope this helps til someone else answers more
good luck...
