- you need AT LEAST 2 drives for video editing, 3 is better
- some HD formats work better with (require) RAID
Also... you need about 50-to-60 Gig free on your boot drive for temp files

I cannot figure out how to edit my h.264 footage in Premiere Pro. Please help.

I have been trying to import AVI video into Premiere pro CS5. I have a new Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Every time I try to import the video into Premiere it only shows up as audio files. However, Windows Media Player plays the files just fine. I've tryed converting the files with Media Encoder but that sees the files as only audio files as well. I've used the G Spot program and it tells me that the Codec is the H264 codec and that the name is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. It also tells me that the codec is already installed on my computer.
I've had problems trying to edit h.264 stuff for longer than I'd care to admit and I just want to figure it out once and for all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Read the 2nd post for NEW ITEM pointer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770072?tstart=0 and follow the instructions, to let PPro analyze the file for you
This is not going to help in the OP's circumstance; if the video doesn't play in Premiere, it's not going to magically start playing once dropped on the New Item button. That sets up a sequence with parameters that match the footage (is that what you mean by letting "PPro analyze the file?"), but Premiere is pretty black-or-white when it comes to format/codec support--it plays everywhere or it doesn't play at all.
If that were not true, DV footage would have to be edited only in a DV sequence, and AVCHD only in an AVCHD sequence. Of couse, that's not the case--sequences are format-agnostic.

DSC Labs colour charts and the vectorscope of Premiere Pro CC - please help

Let me immediately say that I am a retired engineer who has been a photographer since 1946 and videographer since the late 1990's - but I'm messing around in unfamiliar territory so may well say/ask some silly things...
I have a new DSC Labs "Camette v9.1" test chart and will soon take delivery of a new Atomos Samurai Blade recorder (I have a Ninja2 - and love it apart from the awful display). The Blade will give me vectorscope, RGB Parade etc. functionality that I can use on the camera output before recording. I have multiple cameras, which I would like to calibrate.
The Camette test chart requires that the gain of the vectorscope be set to 2x for the patch colours to be placed in their respective "boxes" during calibration. I can definitely confirm that PP's vectorscope shows the colours to be only around 50% of the way from the centre to their respective boxes.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to set the gain of PP's vectorscope to anything other than 1x or 0.75x? I really need 2x
2. Do all the DSC charts require a 2x gain, or is this specific to the Camette? The Camette is about $160 whereas the bigger charts can exceed $1000 each. As you might expect, the colours don't look at all saturated!!!
3. Does anybody know if the Samurai Blade vectorscope function can be set for a gain of 2x? I am still awaiting a response from Atomos.
With thanks in advance,
Pete

Help me please! About Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
Everytime i encoding, there is the thing like advertising appear in the clip ( red part - Media Offline / Media hors ligne / Offline medien / Medios sin connecxion .... ). same in picture.
What should i do to make it disappear?
I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Can anyone help me how to fix this pleaseee?

The prime cause for Media Offline is that the link between the Project and the media has been broken. The Project file (the PRPROJ) is but an XML database, and it uses Absolute Paths to link to the actual Asset files. If one was to Rename, Move, Delete an Asset file, PrPro no longer has a link to it. This can happen with external, or Mapped drives, if they are no longer available, or their Drive Letters have changed. This article goes into more detail on some of those causes: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3561281#3561281
Now, the Asset files have NOT been Renamed, Moved, Deleted and their Absolute Path has not changed in any way, there is something else going on, to cause the link to not be recognized.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more about those Asset files, their location, and then all about the location.

Need help with 24fps in Premiere Pro CS4

I am having issues working with 24fps imported video. My computer hardware is an AMD dual core processor running at 2.6GHz. It has 2GB of Kingston Hyper-X memory, 2x 300GB hard drives (not RAID), and an Nvidia 7900GS video card with 256MB video ram. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1. I am running Premiere Pro CS4 with all the current updates.
So here is the issue I am having. I captured video on a Canon XL2 in 24fps, 16:9 widescreen, and 2:3:3:2 pulldown. My CS4 project settings were set up as DV-24P Widescreen 48KHz. I did not try changing other settings on the other tabs. I captured the video directly from the XL2 with no dropped frames. The resulting AVI plays back in Windows Media Player 11 correctly. What I mean by that is the is no jerky video, I get no raster lines, and the video quality is very clear. When I load the video into the time line and play it back in the program monitor the video jerks like it is dropping frames, I get raster lines and it looks like video clarity fades in and out.
At first I thought nothing about it. I used Adobe Media Encoder, and burned a DVD. Playback on my widescreen TV looked jerky, rastered, and the video was only clear in static scenes. So I made some test projects with different settings. Still had no success. The original capture looks good, but whatever I do in Premiere the video jerks and looks like old VHS video.
I did another test. I set the XL2 to 30P and 4:3, and captured the video. Again the captured AVI looks good. Put it on the Premiere timeline and played it in the program monitor. It plays fine - good video quality, no rastering, and no jerking. Made a DVD with no problems in the video. So my question is what setting in Premiere do I need to capture, edit, and export 24fps 16:9 widescreen video so that it plays back with with the same video quality as it was captured? Do you think it is an encoder problem? The captured AVI is what ever encoder came with Windows/Premiere as I have not added any other encoders.
Any help would be apperciated. If I have not supplied enough information, please just ask.

If the video is playing back badly in Premiere Pro from the timeline, then the things I would check would be the program monitor quality - is it set to highest...if you don't know where that it is, click on the 4 horizontal lines in the top corner of the program monitor - make sure highest quality is selected. It also may be a video card issue - are your drivers up to date? If the clips are only playing back badly on the PPro timeline (and anything exported from it), but fine in Windows Media Player - something is up.
As for the frame rate - no, you don't have to work at 24P...as mentioned before, the camera actually records at 29.97 fps, but is able to be played back and edited at 23.976 fps (or 24P)...it's a complicated explanation on how it all works...
If you're going to finish to a regular DVD, then working at 29.97 is the way to go. As for the interpret footage command, highlight the clips in your bin, then right click on them - in the menu, you'll see interpret footage - click on that and a new window should open...you should see a box with a check next to it that says remove 24P pulldown - click it (removing the check) and the footage frame rate should change to 29.97 - then click OK...create a 29.97 sequence (DV NTSC Widescreen 48Khz), and edit away.

Premiere Pro CS4 won't let me dump/Record to tape, HELP!

Hello, I just got a hold of Premiere Pro CS4 and I think its great. BUT when I try to dump/record my project to tape onto my SONY CamCorder DV all I get is a blue screen. The camcorder is controlled by Premiere and says it is going there but as I watch it being put to tape... all I see in the viewfinder is blue with a record red dot. And when I actually play back what I supposedly recorded all i see is blue. Can you help please. My SONY Camcorder is a DSR-trv 27E. Thanx

That "E" in the model number may indicate that your camera can play video out via firewire, but not record video in.
Many EU camera models have this restriction built-in so that the camera can't be used as a VCR. I think it's a tax issue, but since I live in the USA, I'm not qualified to say for sure.

Dear Adobe, please patch Premiere Pro CS4

Dear Adobe
How come there's a minor patch to Adobe Reader or to Flash every few weeks, yet no patches at all in the automatic updates for Premiere Pro CS4?
I am extremely annoyed with Premiere Pro CS4. It crashes for some dumb reason or another every single day.
The biggest problem of all is the Adobe Media Encoder. Should it crash when I click to change the location of a render? Why does it ask if I want to overwrite a file (say, "test.mov"), then makes a new version of the file anyway ("test_1.mov"). Plus the far more serious problems documented in the forum.
I like the new features, but CS4 is not reliable. No one can work in a product that they can't trust.
People have asked me if CS4 is worth the money for an upgrade. I have been kind and polite, saying, "Well, I have found some bugs, but it has a lot of nice new features".
My tune changed last night. I'm tired of the bugs, crashes, and lack of patches.
I will now say, "CS4 is absolutely not worth buying until it is fixed. Stay away. You'll only be aggravated."

I assume that Adobe considers these sorts of problems "installation" issues and does not charge for support. Is that correct? Yes, that is no guarantee of success, but that has appeared to me to be an important step in their fixing issues: dealing with specific hardware/OS issues. After all, it only takes one problematic driver to create some of the problems that are reported. And some problems will be Operator Error.
I agree that details can be helpful, but as we've learned before, there can be an amazing list of things that are potentially relevant. Bill Gehrke, I've forgotten what you said about the status of your benchmark, but I think your system is a very important way to translate "Premiere CSx is slow" etc to meaningful information about various computer subsystems. Adobe should hire you to set this up as a troubleshooting aid. (Wil, I'm serious.)
In addition to a list of hardware, there's also the list of troubleshooting steps. E.g. have you turned off "whatever you call that nasty thing in Vista that wrecks your performance".
And, in the case of CS4 (perhaps CS3 was no different), we have to be sure we are talking about the same "task" - SD, vs the many flavors of other video.
One step in this is for Eric and others that have working systems to list their hardware and setup, and for those with very similar systems that are not operating to see if they can sort out differences.
I don't have CS4 yet - CS3, WinXP SP3, P4 2.8, 2G Ram. It's not that I'm waiting for you beta-plus testers to iron out the bugs, I just can't afford it and the new computer I need for it. But, I sure hope you get them ironed out by the time I'm ready....

Error installing Premiere Pro CS4 - "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service"

I had to replace my hard drive and so I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS4. I tried to do that with the files I had downloaded before, but the install failed and gave me the error message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service".
I assumed that the files I downloaded had become corrupt, so I logged on and re-downloaded the ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.7z and ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe files. I ran ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe and it also failed and gave me the same error message. I tried another download from a different page and got the same error again.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to get my program installed?
