Title issue in premiere CS 5.5

I just discover this issue and I would like you to help me.
I'm working on a PAL DV widescreen project. I wanted to use a title for each person on the show so I opened Title - Single Still and I drew a rectangle. So I went to fill it with a gradient (normal 2 color) from red on left to white on right. The white color was set to trasnparent whit transient color to 0.
Well, when I built this with 0° angle (from up to down) the gradient works good and you can see it well on Premiere. If I set it to 270° (from left to right as I need) I can see on video the rectangle only for its 2/3 width on screen. The right side is cutted.
I also tried to make this rectangle in Photoshop and import in the title desktop, well: the same issue. The rectangle made in .psd format with a color gradient and transparent background is shown only for his 2/3 widht on screen. The right side is missing. Tiff format or jpg with white backgroud work good.
I tried to make a new projetc, just to test. The same issue. Rectangle whit a horizontal color gradient cannot be seen entirely.
If I import the .psd file directly in the project, it is shown well, as it is.
Please, I'd like you to try this procedure and tell me if you have the same issue.

That's what I did at the end. But I don't like this issue. If I need a gradient color rectangle I should not use Photoshop and import it but Premiere should be able to draw it.

Render and preview issues with Premiere CC 2014 update

Rendering issues: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 Update does not fix" Occasional instance where sequences could never finished rendering"
It's been 3 days 3 technicians and still same issue. Everything has been tried except starting over which is not an option. Worked
fine in CS6.
1. Optimization of windows and tweek premiere memory settings,
2. GPU updates,
3. Software only render,
4.render section at a time works (but who has time for that),
5. Tweek virtual memory, - clean cache, clean temp files,
6. hardware considerations, drives, etc...
7. Other
Ceremony completed render except for export in older computer. Please fix issue or give money back until you do!
The rendering of footage of:
1. render worked (on complex Ceremony 19 min sequence with AVCHD format and HDV) in an old computer. - Core 2 DUO Quad 8 gb ram 2g
b GPU
2. Same sequence of Ceremony (19 min sequence with AVCHD format and HDV) did not work in the faster computer. - i7 QUAD core 16 ram
1 or 2 GB GPU
3. Reception sequence of HDV footage only did not on both computer.
Please call the exterminator and get rid of all the bugs. I am spending more time
troubleshooting than editing….and that is bad

You really aren't reading what we write.
Let's break it down:
Suitcase isn't working with the new application versions, because Suitcase has bugs in it's code or just doesn't know about the new application versions.
The only way to fix that is to fix the code for Suitcase.
Suitcase is written by Extensis, so only Extensis can fix the code for Suitcase.
So you are waiting on Extensis to fix their code to work correctly with the new applications.
This is not about the CC 2014 applications, this is about Extensis code not working, and Extensis needing to provide an update to make their code work.
To get a working version of Suitcase (which requires fixing bugs in Suitcase), you need to talk to Extensis.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Major Issues with Premiere Pro CC

I am currently having some major issues with Premiere Pro CC running on my macbook pro(specs below).
I am trying to export a 4 minute video using the vimeo 1080p export settings as I usually do, and it takes about 10 hours to export the video. On cs6, a similar project would take 5-10 minutes.
Also, the video that was exported contained a lot of clips that came out choppy and low quality.
I am currently on the phone with tech support, and they cannot seem to figure out what is wrong.
I have seen a few post about CC having issues with amd cards, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since this job is past due due to these issues.

You neglected to specify exactly which release of PPro CC you are running. There have been 5 of them.
If you're on CC7.2 or 7.2.1, then you may be hitting the same problem discussed in one of these threads:

Titles made in Premiere become fuzzy after rendering

Is there a setting or button to check in Premiere to prevent titles made in Premiere from loosing the clarity and shapeness they had to becoming fuzzy and out of focus after the video is rendered?

I'm a novice learning Premiere. I assumed the softwear would make the export setting the same as the settings used to make the video sequence. I checked the best quality boxes and in both the rendering and exporting windows, but the text in the titles made with Premiere played back fuzzy. However, all the images I used stayed sharp in playback after rendering and exporting, even text that was already in images I imported in to Premiere stayed sharp in playback after rendering and exporting. What are the best sequence and export settings to use to produce sharp clear titles made in Premiere?

Any known issues with Premiere CC and imported HDV clips?

I'm having consistent difficulty with Premiere CC playback of HDV video that originated in FCP 7. This was not an issue in Premiere CS6. The problem is dropout and pixelization which is consistent, pass after pass, and occurs at the same TC location on some clips. It is almost like some clips are corrupted in a consistent manner, while others are not, and don't seem to become corrupted.
For a variety of reasons, I still shoot HDV on a Z1U, and use an old FCP7 workstation to digitize media. I then import these individual video clip files into CS6. These are clips that play correctly in FCP, Premier CS6, and in the Finder, and Quicktime Pro, but not Premiere CC.
I have Dropboxed a sample clip to my service contact at AJA, and she is reporting the same issue with Premiere CC. (The technical support at AJA is the best I've experienced in over 30 years of video production).
The same issue presents itself with HDV clips that were converted to such from .m2v via Clipwrap.
Any other types of media play correctly within Premiere CC. For example, I have a CS6 project that is nothing but After Effect CS6 anims comiled into a program in Premiere CS6; it plays perfectly. So do any media that Premiere CC puts through its own conversion or import "routine," like AVCHD. Even XDCAM clips that went into FCP via XDCAM Transfer play well.
Any thoughts?

Tim,
I would assume the clips work fine in FCP7, so you're not totally busted. Maybe try using Compressor or AME, like the other guy said, to export them in another format; I'd recommend Apple ProRes 422. Fallback is to work in FCP7, as the tapes are gone.
When I 1st posted this problem, I left for vacation. I saw briefly that someone suggested a plugin in another reply, but I haven't had a chance to pursue that yet. I'm in northern Michigan (USA) with limited access to email. I'll do some follow up this Monday when I return. Good luck!!

Freeze issue in Premiere Elements 3

Hi,
We are trying to solve an issue with Premiere Elements 3 for a customer.
Yes, I know it a very old version, but it is just a home user & it has been working fine for him. He last used it several months ago with the same hardware & all worked fine.
Now when he goes to use it again it basically freezes up. If you turn the camera on it pops up asking the application to use. If you select Premiere Elements it opens up the window with "capture device offline" & doesn't seem to respond to any mouse clicks. If you go to task manager & end the task (often get a message Premiere is not responding), go into Windows Movie Maker this works fine - you can even control the camera (start, stop, etc).
If you start Premiere with the camera turned off you can seem to navigate around menus, etc no problem (until you turn the camer on & try to capture).
Consequently I assume that the hardware is OK. Because Premiere Elements worked before I presume that maybe an update or some new application is stopping it from working, but I'm not sure what it is.
Here is a summary of the system specs:
Win XP Home SP2
Premiere Elements V3.0
Sony DCR-HC96 (also tried their old Sony DCR-TRV355E but this gives the same symptoms)
Firewire (onboard Asus P5N-E motherboard)
Any thoughts would be greatly appeciated.
Gary.
Perth, Australia.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your assistance.
I tried all of the items you mentioned, but it still gives the same result.
Interestingly once it freezes if I go to task manager & End Program (the only way to close it) I can go straight to Windows Movie Maker & it works perfectly - I can even control the play, stop, etc.
Whilst this sort of proves it isn't hardware, I had a spare firewire card so I disabled the onboard card & put in the new card - but the problem is still the same.
The next thing I have tried is to install the trial of Premiere Elements 9 (the customer is happy to buy this if it solves the problem), but the symptoms are basically the same. With the camera turned off, the software seems to work well & I can go in & out of all the menus. Once I turn the camera on, the device appears in the pull down list (something like MS DV ...) but none of the buttons (eg play, etc) work & it sort of freezes up & task manager says its not responding.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Gary.

Graphics Card issues with Premiere Pro CS4

Hey there,
I've placed the screenshot of my problem at the bottom of this post.
I'm having lots of issues with premiere pro CS4 and editing videos since I upgraded to Windows 7. I have some .mpg and .MP4 videos. Both of which play fine in WMP, VLC, WinAmp, VirtualDJ etc. But when I load them into PPRO CS4, as you can see in the screenshot they go green and pink. And they don't move. I.e you see one still image and hear only audio.
Now a fix I have found for this is to uninstall my graphics card. But this is no way an option to edit videos, as the resoultion goes from 1920 x 1080 to 1024 x 768.
I should add that I am runnig the following system:
Dell Vostro 1000 Latpop
Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit
2.00Ghz AMD Sempron Processor
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon XPress 1150 Graphics card
I have the latest graphics card drivers installed. I am just wondering what the problem is, and a potential fix. Would be great to hear any advice,
Regards,
Adam.

OK, here are some other things to think about:
ATI/AMD Catalyst seems to have an issue with one of the latest versions, maybe rollback to an earlier version.
Depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration (though this usually affect smoothness of playback) in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Advanced.
Check your OpenGL settings.
In Catalyst, turn OFF any GPU Acceleration
That's about all that I can think of for now, and those are shots in the dark.
Good luck,

PP 6.0 titler issue

I am having an issue with the Premiere Pro titler. I create a new still title at 960x720, but when I place it on the timeline, the text size is much larger, and positioning of the text is off from what I set up in the titler window. Has anyone else had this problem? I feel sure it's operator error. Thanks!

When I create the new title, it asked for a size, and the only choice I have for that ratio is the HD Anamorphic 1080, so maybe that's the problem. PP seems to select the size for you based on the sequence settings...
Correct...and logical. Why would one create a title based on a different size than the target sequence setting.
If for some reason one might need that...create an appropriate sequence then create a title based on that.

Edit column issue in Premiere Elements 9

Is there an issue with the Edit Column feature in the project window of Premiere Elements 9?
When I add a Description or Comment column, changes are not saved when I close and reopen the program.
Also, I cannot write any text in these columns to describe my videos (if I click on the space for writing comments, it just opens up a window to view the video) whereas I was able to do it with version 4 and earlier.
I am using the trial version before buying and would like to know if the purchased version has this problem or not and if it can be fixed?

I could be mis-remembering, but I think that Steve Grisetti has confirmed about what you indicate. I do not know if this was some sort of change in Adobe's thinking, and they did not clean up after themselves, or if this is just a Bug, that needs to be addressed.
Personally, I would file a Bug Report, with the full details, and hope to get a fix in the works.
Also, if I am mis-remembering, I am sure that Steve G. will correct me.
Good luck,
Hunt

Sick to death of export issues in Premiere Pro CC

I waste so much time with random errors exporting from premiere.
The most recent issue being it decides to randomly not export audio from tracks 2 and 3. It begins fine then out of the blue drops the 2nd and 3rd tracks, track 1 remains audible. The worst part about this is that there is no way to know if it will happen until the full render is complete. The first time it happened I was doing a batch export of 7 videos in Media Encoder. It rendered the first video in its entirety fine, the following 6 video all dropped the 2 or 3rd track randomly during the export. So the next day I began exporting them all one at a time with good results until I got to the 4th video and it did it again. I am re rendering without the media encoder now but I don't have much expectation for that result as when I don't use media encoder the program often returns a "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error." right at the end of the render.
I also can't render .mov files to any other drive than the local D drive and only through Media Encoder.
I have been a Premiere user for some 15 years and I have to say this new Creative Cloud is the most frustrating and time consuming product I have ever come across in terms of rendering a final product.

i7 4470 @3.40ghz

I have to applaud your thoroughness in testing and detail in writing this up.
Unfortunately I may not be of much assistance. I have to assume (by your thoroughness) that all machines are running the same OS version. If that is the case, you certainly seem to have isolated the problem to either the 2012 Mac hardware (iMac or Ethernet chipset) or the specific Ethernet drivers for that model.
Chances are, since PPro 7.2.1 works in the environment on other Macs, it is actually a Mac/Editshare problem.

Massive Lagging and issues with Premiere Pro CC 2014

For the last year we have been in post on our feature documentary. We have roughly 15TB of footage that is all stored on a raid coming into our edit suite via fibre (I don't know much of the technical information about it other than it's trustworthy and works for the other suites in our facility). We're in the final stretch and locking edit February 1. But the issues we're experiencing are making it very difficult to advance and fine tune the edit.
Over the last month or two performance with Premiere has been getting worse and worse. We are experience lag in actions when editing. It could be as simple as moving the mouse, clicking or copy/paste which can result in freezing or lag where we have to wait a few seconds or minutes for the program to catch up with itself.
We've been trying to figure out what is going on and if we can do anything to eliminate these issues. We have removed all cache files. We have eliminated any unnecessary or old sequences from our project file.
I will note that our project file is massive. It's currently about 1.15gb in size. Our sequence is a little hairy also. Not sure if this could be causing issues, but it hasn't in the past. See image below.

This is a known issue introduced in CC2014.0. Some h.264 encodes have blurriness or noise periodically in some areas of the frame. The problem is most pronounced in regions of the frame with very little detail, like grass or pavement--or the T-shirt in the sample frame. We are working on a fix. Before you ask when the patch will be forthcoming, I'm not authorized to even hint at the timeframe.
Unfortunately, the only real workaround is to export to a format other than h.264. If that's not an option for you, then your best bet is probably to keep working in CC7.2.2 until the patch is released.
Sorry, but thats not completely true and by far not the correct answer:
The problems with random artifacts occurred with the introduction of a new version of H264 in CS6 but there you still had the option to export with the previous H264 Version via Media Encoder.
Since the previous H264 version is not available in CC, using CC7.2.2 is not a solution either.
BTW
Updating to CC and using the new Mac Pros with Mavericks is currently a total mess - no open cl rendering, random crashes, no usable h264 ... thanks adobe!!
... but we can track masks in premiere now ... wow!

Video editing & playback issues: Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Hello all,
I have made several attempts at transfering HD video files from my camcorder to my PC and then editing.
When I try to play the transferred file, it is a little choppy and then gets worse as I edit it.
Here are my specs/config:
System:
HP Pavilion a6720y
Windows Vista 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT 440
AMD Phenon 9550 Quad Core 2.2Ghz
6GB RAM
640GB SATA drive, 7200 rpm
Camera:
Sony HDR-XR150
Editing Software:
Adobe Premiere Elements 8
I copy the video files from the camcorder to the computer via USB 2.0.
When I connect the camera directly to the TV the video plays without any issues. So I know the AVCHD files are "good" and I suspect they are also possibly "good" on my hard drive, but just cannot be played or edited appropriately for some reason.
One input I received was that due to the nature of AVCHD files, I should convert the video to "I-frame codec" and then edit. Can Adobe Premiere Elements do this?
Any other thoughts/ideas?
Thanks for any help.

You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

Media offline issue in premiere cs6

I recently had my copy of Premiere CS6 fixed due to a handlertitler.dll problem. However, when it was finally fixed there was some playback issues, and about a third of my media is offline. How do I relink the media to where I can hear and see my video on Premiere CS6?

Media Offline is most often caused by the links to it, which are absolute Paths, being changed. It could be a drive letter, a file Rename, or similar.
I agree with Jim, that the best course of action is to let PrPro relink that media, when it asks "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705
Good luck,

PS - if you have not Moved, or Renamed anything, I would definitely check my HDD's, to make sure that they are functioning at 100%.
