Stuttering playback from Nikon D5100 on Pro CS5 - 5.5?

Video from my Nikon D5100 DSLR at 1920x1060, 30 fps, plays back with a stutter in premiere, but not elsewhere (Quicktime and Windows Media Player) I've made sure to upgrade to the latest version of Premiere Pro and the problem persists. Searches on here haven't led to much; this thread from May mentions the same problem from a Nikon D7000 (predecessor at 24fps) and says a temporary fix is to rename .mov files to .mpg. This didn't fix the issue.
Any ideas, or do any other users of the D5100 have the same issue?

Tmon89,
If you have not tried adjusting your "playback resolution" setting (right-click to access this in playback window) yet to try and resolve your issue, try that. This setting is provided so that if you do not have enough hardware power for the layers of media that you have on your timeline, you can request for less to be displayed. Note too, I have seen an instance where "full" playback resolution actually worked better than 1/2 resolution. Can't explain it, but that's why I said "try changing it" instead of simply "lower it"!

BlackBox Instead of Picture when Importing Photos from Nikon D5100

We had been able to import photos (and HD movies) into iPhoto '11 in versions before 9.4.3 (720.91) from a Nikon D5100 camera SDHC 16GB memory card with no problem. In the current version however (apparently after the latest update to iPhoto '11) after importing the contents of the SDHC memory card with Nikon D5100 photos and movies, some of the photos (in raw file format) appear as black boxes in iPhoto after the import.
So Note the following:
iPhoto ' 11 Direct Import - does not work
Direct import from Nikon D5100 SDHC (Lexar) memory card results in some photos appearing as opaqe black boxes in iPhoto '11
Nikon, Inc. Nikon Transfer app - works to get files into folder in Mac OS X
using the exact same memory card on the exact same computer (MacBook Pro) to import those same photos and movies using the "Nikon Transfer" application - ALL of the photos import into the MacBook Pro in the same raw file format.
Indirect Method of getting Photos into iPhoto '11 (never had to do this before but this works)
after getting the photos into a folder in the MacBook Pro file system using the "Nikon Transfer" application from Nikon, Inc. - iPhoto '11 is able to import those raw NEF files from the folder in the MacBook Pro file system into iPhoto '11 with no problem and those same black box pictures (observed with direct iPhoto '11 transfer) now look fine after doing an "indirect transfer" as described above ( memory card --> Nikon, Inc. "Nikon Transfer" application --> folder with raw NEF photos in MacOSX --> iPhoto '11
Has something changed in the latest version of iPhoto '11 to prevent import of Nikon D5100 photos in raw-NEF file format?
thanks

Still don't know about the hot pink color issue but I did find I needed to download the Nikon Transfer2, not the first version. Newer Nikon DSLR's require the second version and the disk is included with the camera purchase. Select the option to have Nikon Transfer2 open when attaching your camera or data card to computer, then go directly to iphoto to import... don't bother importing to the View NX2 unless you plan to use it as an edit tool, etc.
So, I believe it's not iphoto's issue.... maybe it's Nikon wishing you to use their program but if you really must use iphoto, you just need to go a little out of your way. ugh.

How do I inport raw photos from Nikon D5100?

I have Mac OS 10.6.7 and the latest iphoto. How can I import RAW files from my Nikon D5100?
Thanks!

Run software update and be sure everything is up to date -
The support site is down right now but I am pretty sure that the D5100 is supported directly by iPhoto - you should be able to directly import to iPhoto
TD has a D5000 I believe - he is in Ireland so will be along around midnight west coast time - he will know for sure

Problem with import from Onlocation to Premier Pro CS5.5

i noticed that in upgrading from Production premium CS 5 to production premium CS5.5 when one imports a shoot schedule from on-location to premier pro the import to premiere pro no longer convert to the more relevant name created in OL. Ie. if the shot in OL was Smith Tummy Tuck - when you import via the media browser - using the readable OL file - the file imports as 00036.mts - in CS5.0 it would import with the OL file name ie. Smith Tummy Tuck
This was a great feature but what happened to it in 5.5?

most recently it was all within CS 5.5
I am going to go back to another computer that has CS5 and see if I can figure anything out -- seems strange that this would have been dropped by adobe cs5 to cs5.5 in fact in the CS 5 product evangelist promo this was feature highlighted!
I know when I 1swt started with CS5 in Feb 2011 this finctionality worked without an issue

Export .wav with markers from Audition into Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I need help in getting a multitrack mixdown with markers from Audition into Premiere.
This is what I have:
An Audition CS5.5 multitrack session with lots of markers
This is what I did to export:
Audition > File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session > .wav & "include markers and other metadata"
When I import that .wav in Premiere Pro there are no markers, neither in the source monitor, nor in the sequence.
When I import it into After Effects, all markers are there. Unfortunately, this does not help me in my editing in Premiere.
Is there any workaround for that? A direkt export from Audition via
Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro
did not help either.
There is a thread on this in Soundtbooth (sorry for posting there, too) where it is stated that it should work in Premiere, too:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3908899#3908899
Please help, regards,
Andreas

Hi Tim,
first of all, thank you for your help.
I also just filed a bug report, as you suggested.
Now let me share the results of checking out the workaround that you suggested:
1. Export to Premiere Pro via "Mulitrack menu > Export to Adobe Premiere Pro"
I had tried that before and found it not working. This was a partial mistake. What I mean by that is, when you do that, the exported .wav files get automatically added to the sequence timeline. And do not show markers. BUT, what I overlooked was, that there is a sequence created alongside which resides in the project panel. This sequence does in fact include the markers, as sequence markers.
Now comes the bitter part: When I delete the automatically added .wav from the timeline and replace it with said sequence, the markers are treated as clip markers. By contrast to After Effects, in Premiere Pro clip markers do not contain any text / names. I.e. all metadata is lost except the mere fact of anonymous markers on the timeline.
2. Export to Premiere Pro via " File menu > Export > FCP XML Interchange Format"
Same as above. Except, that I had not tried that before. What I had tried before was ...
3. Export via " File menu > Export > OMF"
Interestingly, this cannot be imported in Premiere Pro at all. Could this be another bug?
Comment:
I really hope that the markers export/import gets fixed soon.
I also wished, that clip markers in Premiere Pro would be as intelligent as in After Effects (naming, updating, showing their text clearly in the timeline)
I also wished that sequence markers would be as intelligent as comp markers in After Effects in showing their text clearly in the timeline.
... but thats a lot of wishing going on
Kind regards,
Andreas

Cannot open RAW format pictures from Nikon D3300 on Photoshop CS5.1 Extended

I recently purchased a Nikon D3300. I have Photoshop CS5.1 Extended for my PC. I am unable to open pictures taken in RAW format. I downloaded and installed the DNG Converter version 8.6 off the Adobe website. This did not remedy the situation.
Anyone have any suggestions?

You mentioned: I downloaded and installed the DNG Converter version 8.6 . .
DNG Converter is an application. You need to open DNG Converter and tell it to select the FOLDER that contains your NEF files and then click convert
Don't try to select individual files, select the folder instead.

Nikon D5100 and D700, CS5, ACR 6.4.1: not enough memory when I convert many nef in jpg

The discution was ( and is) also here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3781380#3781380

Using ACR from PS3 or PS4, no problems. Using ACR 6.4.1. and making a batch convert, from nef to jpg ( or to other formats) I receive "not enough memory" sometimes, and all the times when I select reducing noise and lens corrections. It happen also when I try to transform only one nef to jpg.
I have win 7, i7, memory in triple channel, the system on a SSD, the scratch disk of win on another free SSD and the scratch disk for PS ans ACR on another SSD. I have tryed all imaginable settings, and no hope to use the ACR. Old ACR are OK, only this 6.4.1 have a big problem on my system.

Import jpeg from photoshop into premiere pro CS5 and keep exact proportions.

We are trying to insert jpegs into the timeline of a project that was captured DV movie frame 720 x 480. A graphics person has created jpegs with the frame size of 1440 x 960. When I import that into Premiere, we have a black space above and below the safe margins when I scale to frame size and am first wondering if that will be ok. When I change the image size to 720 x 480 and import that and put it in the timeline, the pictures seem to be a little elongated. Can you please tell me how to import the jpegs into premiere and keep the exact proportions for the jpegs?

By changing the pixel aspect ratio to 720 x 534, all works perfectly now. Thank you for the help.

Premiere Pro CS5 Ignores error code and error_message

My plugin reports an error when returning from PF_Command_Global_Setup, but Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't display the error message to the user.
It correctly doesn't load the plug-in, but user's have no clue what happened.
if (!ok){
out_data->out_flags |= PF_OutFlag_DISPLAY_ERROR_MESSAGE;
strcpy(out_data->return_msg,
"MyPlug-in error\n");err = -1;
return
err;

I learned something the hard way...
Don't every return a -1 when your plug-in is running in Premiere. It makes Adobe Media Loader think your plug-in is bad and it will never try to load it again.
It was a ***** trying to track this down.
Oh, and Premiere won't display out_data->return_msg if you have one.

ProRes 422 & Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 Playback

I am a long-term user of CS5
Recently started using ProRes 422 footage, (LT in order to keep file size a little smaller). The footage is taken from a Ninja2 via the HDMI of a Sony HVR Z5.
I do a lot of post work on my projects and the native mpeg2 8 bit from the HVR would not hold out too well. Apart from that, I had no previous performance issues using mpeg 2 files.
Now the ProRes 422 footage in the preview window and in the timeline of PremPro is stuttering and won't play smoothly for more than a couple of seconds at a time. This has become progressively worse as the timeline has grown.
I use a single video track (I don't stack or nest) and often use 4-5 audio tracks ( 24bit .WAV) plus a stereo channel from the Ninja2. Audio settings within the project are 32 bit floating.
Average Data Rate of the ProRes (LT) Video File is 8.9 MB/s. Source Audio is 48KHz 16 Bit.
Edit Workstation system (exclusive, no other use):
Triple Channel 24GB 1600 RAM
i7 970 (Hex) 3.2GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 580
MB Gigabyte X58 (No Overclocking)
SSD OS & Programs
4 x 500 GB Sata2 Caviar Black RAID 0 media scratch disk and cache (Software RAID - no hardware controller). The RAID is striped at 128Kb.
1 x 1TB Sata2 Caviar Black project files
CPU Temps 44-46 C
System Temps 41 C
Graphics Temps 58-60 C
Disk Temps 30-40 C
The disk access times during playback are often less than 5 ms. Quick Bench (8MB zone) test gives RAID 0 Average Read Time of 642 MB/s, Random Access Time of 14 ms, and Burst Speed of 3411MB/s. CPU Utilisation is 2%. CPU system usage is fairly low as is the RAM demand with 50% often unused. 18Gb of RAM is allocated to Adobe programs (After Effects & Prem Pro) with 6GB available for other things.
I am using no external monitor interfaces.
The ProRes footage is imported into Prem Pro and the sequence setting is automatically created by dragging the ProRes file into the New Item folder.
The project sequence created by Premiere Pro is AVCHD 1080i Square Pixels 1920 x 1080, Upper Field First 25 fps (PAL) which is correct for me in the UK.
This works out fine as I have additional footage from a Sony NX5 which is AVCHD and happy with those sequence settings - I get smooth playback from the NX5 in both the preview window and the timeline. The resulting timeline bar colour is Yellow for both footage. If the Pro Res footage is rendered on the timeline (green bar) playback is fine. The render codec is by default I-Frame Only MPEG.
At the start of the project, the playback seemed fine, but now I am about 35 minutes in and the whole thing has ground to a stuttery conclusion.
The footage in the preview window scrubs and jogs fine, but plays for about a second or two then stutters, as does the timeline. I would expect my system to easily handle the Pros Res footage - but it doesn't.
Any similar experiences out there?

1. With that much footage, I might set previews to render to my output size, so as to cut down on final render time.
2. 112gb! Holy Crap! I hope you're on a fast RAID drive with that! Otherwise saying you're headed up $*it creek without a paddle doesn't quite cover it... ...more like drowning in the $*it ocean.
With that much information you're almost always better off utilizing a rendered file rather than relying on your dynamic link. If playback is choppy, you need to be able to render to a drive that isn't "Busy" while you're playing from it. I've found that using separate RAID for my main project file, and my original or AE assets allows me to render out the previews to a non-busy drive, making the output faster, and the playback faster when reading it.
Dynamic linkage is great... ...if you're going to be making more changes to that piece, leave it as is and play it back, if not, RENDER THE EFFECT, or RENDER A WORK AREA set to the clip you're editing. If you're done for the day, render the whole damned thing and leave it until you come back. Rendered effects will play back faster than active process effects (renders are already in the video, set into it as if native to it; active process edits aren't in the video, they are applied as it is played back, and require more processing so they slow things down), and when you come back from lunch or from home, you'll have a freshly rendered slate to preview. This means you'll be able to show off for the client by morning. Need a Web-capable rendering for a status update you're sending to a client, DUPE the sequence, change the preview on the DUPE to match some web capable settings with smaller frame height\width resolution and compress the hell out of it. Youtube can play it back pretty well, and vimeo also, and you'll be able to upload it in 2-4 hours (if your system is archaic like mine, smaller video outputs great). Personally, I've found comps with AE to be a pain when trying to link and playback. Render a work area around the comp if you're going to play it back. IF you want to preview a whole section, Dupe the Sequence and use the Dupe to NEST the SECTION (create a trim or edit mark at the beginning and end of the section you wish to preview, select everything between the markers, right click and select nest), and you can use AME to render a small preview file, so you don't interrupt the rest of your work.
I work with more sound quality constraint than video, and the sound quality has to be real, while the video does not need to be perfect (doesn't mean I don't damn well try; I've really just begun my journey into this world, and have only begun to use prores, but found some pitfalls to experiment and solve). I start with whatever I'm given, go to prores, edit with a prores proxy preview at ¼ the input size, and render out once just to get started. The effects values are applied to the preview in playback, easing the playback stutter, and allowing me to work fluidly on a laptop mac with an intel core2 2.16ghz with a geforce gfx card at 256mbvram and 4gb of system ram, with (hardware hack) 2 internal drives each at 1tb, one for main use, and one for housing my project files. Using an old esata express card raid box, I get great speed from the playback by storing the previews on RAID, while all the other files are housed on my secondary internal drive. With multi cam AV, you need to be able to store the main clips on different drives, or on a raid store (ideally on separate RAID stores) in order to play them back while cutting them together. However, once cut, you should render out the preview in it's entirety, and start your other edits from that point. Then you can render just the effects and still get great playback.
If you don't see Prores in your preview box, get the AME prores presets from the adobe site, and you can place them by hand into your app (the folder should be the EncoderPresets folder in the program files on windows, on mac open the .app by right click and select show package contents>contents folder>settings>EncoderPresets and paste the .epr files there by hand). Then open up premiere and you should be able to use prores proxy for your previews and export. I like to export to prores and then use handbrake to export to x264 with --fake-interlaced set up so I can use it as a transcode for Encore. Just keep your blu-ray data rates under 35mbps and you should be fine.

Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
These machines are:
Premiere Pro CS5.02
OS WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
(3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
(1) monitor in use
output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

Computer Freezes during Playback, Render and Scrubbing in Premiere Pro CS5.5

CPU - Intel i7 980 3.33GHz
RAM - 12GB (6 x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600
PSU - 850watt Corsair
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
C: Drive - 600GB Velociraptor (with only program files stored on the drive)
OS - Windows Ultimate 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1 (up to date)
Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (with all updates)
My problem occurs only in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and not with any other Adobe programs, including After Effects. Playback, scrubbing, or rendering in my Premiere Pro timeline causes the computer to freeze. When it freezes I cannot move the mouse, I cannot use the keyboard, there is no automatic shutdown, and there is no BSOD. The computer just freezes, forever, and needs to be shutdown manually.
This problem began a few weeks ago, only happening occassionaly. Recently the problem has escalated to the point that I cannot use Premiere Pro CS5.5 for more than 30 seconds before it freezes.
I have several different Premiere Pro projects saved to a 1TB WD Black Caviar HDD. In some of the projects I am using Cineform converted .mov files and in others I am using the raw(compressed) footage directly from a Canon DSLR. This dedicated harddrive has 60% free space.
Mercury PLayback Acceleration is enabled, and I have been successfully using Premiere and the rest of the creative suite intensively since October 2011 with absolutely NO problems. I cannot remember the system ever crashing once during this time period, until now, which is remarkable. All software on my computer is legitimate, and there are no third party codecs installed.
What can I do to fix this problem? All help is extremely appreciated. THANK-YOU!
Drew Norton

Thank you, Harm I will do this. In response to the video card being a possible cause of the problem, I moved forward and downloaded Furmark to test it. When running Furmark the program crashes. It gets going on the test and crashes, and apparently according to other websites this means my graphics card is not running at capacity. Do any of you have experience with this?
If it is as clean cut as a busted graphics card I would be very excited to know.

Re-installed CS5: unable to open Nikon D5100 Raw files

I lost my hard drive and reloaded CS 5 and when I try to edit a Nikon D5100 camera raw photo is says it is not supported.

You probably just need to install the camera raw 6.7 update, since a new install of photoshop reverts to the shipped version of camera raw 6.0.
Try Help>Updates from within photoshop cs5.
If that doesn't work, you can download the camera raw 6.7 installers:
