Trasferring Audio Edits as AAF from Premiere to Nuendo and back

Hello everybody,
I'm a Sound Designer for video games, and also deal with cinematic sequences. I use Nuendo for audio editing / sound design, while the video editors work with Premiere. We share the same audio footage that is stored on our internal server, and we copy the footage manually (or over Perforce) on our local PCs. Basically to make sure we're always dealing with the same footage in a fixed and locked format during the entire production chain from capture to final render. This obviously makes an AAF with 'embedded' audio obsolete and in fact unwanted, as well as any other "work-in-progress" audio render from one platform to another.
Situation 1: Premiere -> Nuendo
In Premiere we have several Stereo audio tracks with stereo footage.
AAF is exported from Premiere
AAF is then imported into Nuendo
Result:
Stereo tracks are imported wrong, because split into mono, which naturally duplicates the amount of tracks.
Stereo footage is now duplicated too due to duplication of track amount.
Stereo footage is still stereo, because manually copied from server.
Expectation:
Stereo tracks should remain stereo without splitting or duplicating tracks.
Situation 2: Nuendo -> Premiere
In Nuendo there are several Stereo audio tracks with stereo footage.
AAF is exported from Nuendo
AAF is then imported into Premiere
Result:
Stereo tracks are imported as Mono tracks (this time without duplicating the track number)
Stereo footage is not accepted, due to mismatch with track format (Mono)
Expectation:
Stereo tracks should remain stereo which then accept stereo footage
It's really important for us that the audio footage doesn't change format during the production chain. So for instance splitting stereo into mono left / mono right is not a good option as we want the original footage to remain untouched from capture to final render. So we need stereo tracks to remain stereo and mono tracks to remain mono, just as the original edit.
Using OMF instead of AAF causes the same problem, and adds more problems with the naming of the footage. So AAF is currently the best yet buggy method we have.
In the past I have transferred AAF files from Protools into Nuendo, and it worked fine, which makes me tend to believe the solution has to be somewhere in Premiere.
Any hints, tips and useful experiences are very welcome. Thanks a lot!
Regards
Christian

This may be the kind of situation that can only be resolevd with a Feature Request.

I can't export an AAF from Premiere to Avid.

Why can I not open an AAF from Premiere CC 2015 in Avid Media Composer 7.0.4?
It is a simple edit in Premiere in 1080p 2997. The AAF imports to Avid but the video is offline
but the audio embeds in the AAF but the timecode of the audio is not matching the video.
The audio is stereo, not 5.1 dolby. Is there a metadata glitch somewhere? This is a bit
maddening. Thanks for any help.

Hi Dave,
Why can I not open an AAF from Premiere CC 2015 in Avid Media Composer 7.0.4?
There's no such thing as "Premiere CC 2015." Check the "About" splash screen and inspect the version number in the lower left corner. It should be 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2.
Regarding your issue, my guess is that the two are incompatible as much work was done on AAF for Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2), however, I do not know how far back it will affect versions of Media Composer imports. Can you try a trial of the current version of Media Composer and see if it works?
Thanks,
Kevin

Question: Exporting .aaf from Premiere Pro CC v8

I want to export an aaf from Premiere to be color corrected in Davinci Resolve. My export fails because some of the clips in my timeline have effects (horizontal flip, gaussian blur, volume). I get a pop-up saying "Translation Issue". What am I doing wrong?

I mean a .aaf file. I've read that it is compatible with Davinci Resolve, and I can round trip my sequence from Premiere to Resolve using .aaf. I've tried exporting it a Final Cut Pro xml as well. Both times almost immediately the export stops and a warning pops up listing all of the issues:
Translation issue:
Sequence <Feature_Color> at 00:02:38:07, video track 7: Effect <Horizontal Flip> on Clip <JT_20131128_INTSmallMnt03.MOV> not translated.
Translation issue:
Sequence <Feature_Color> at 00:08:57:04, video track 6: Effect <Track Matte Key> on Clip <DG_06_06_2014_Radio_CU_06.MOV> not translated.
Translation issue:
Sequence <Feature_9> at 00:00:00:00, audio track 8: Effect <Internal Channel Volume Stereo> on Clip <ATF soundtrack_2.aif> not translated.

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

Convert image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB

Hey.
I wonder if anyone has experience with converting image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB?
I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back. I read that it supposed to cause some loss in the data, but I can't see anything on the image, it is still very huge and the 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
Thanks for help

I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back.
The original RGB data is not being restored by converting from the CMYK version, so the term "keep" seems inappropriate.
What are the actual Color Spaces (ICC profiles) involved?
Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
How did resolution come into this?
To determine how large a portion of the image has been changed you could
• make a flattened copy of the original image
• place a flattened copy of the RGB->CMYK->RGB image on top of that and set it to Blend Mode Difference
• add an Adjustment Layer (Curves for example) to brighten the image

Editing in photoshop from premiere

hi,
i want to edit and use the photoshop software from premiere but the problem is that the option is not active, as it's shown here:
I have purchased the premiere software but for now i'm using the free version of photoshop cc 2014, so i hope it is still possible.
and another question i have is how do i make skin smoothing for the entire video file, in photoshop?
thanks,
Yardena

One way..
...export your video clip (scene by scene) into sequential image files to work on frame by frame in PhotoShop.
You might want to look at a Premiere Plugin that does "skin smoothing" . Magic Bullets (Red Giant Software)
Airbrushing clips frame by frame will be complex and involved in PhotoShop ..unless they are stills of course..

Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems. Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
Thanks for your help!

No audio in exported video from Premiere Elements 9

I have Premiere Elements 9 and the audio works fine in my editable files in Premiere, but when I export the video directly to YouTube or to a file, the sound completely disappears. I have tried several different export settings and nothing seems to work. The sound is just gone. Any ideas why the audio works in Premiere and not in the finished files? How do I fix this? Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.
There are two places that one must choose Audio in Export/Share settings: initially, with checking Export Audio & Export Video, and then with the Multiplexing Tab, where the method of combining the Audio & Video into one file is chosen. This is the point usually missed. What is your Multiplexing Tab set to?
What happens if, when you chose Export Audio & Export Video, and set the Multiplexing to "DVD," or anything but "None," and then Export/Share to a folder on your HDD? Do you get muxed (Multiplexed) Audio & Video in one file then?
Good luck,
Hunt

How to export edited GoPro mov from Premiere with same settings & similar size?

I feel like this should be easy but every time I try to export my edited video it's much bigger than the original, or it's smaller and bad quality.
My business partner sent me a 720p GoPro MOV that is 33:50 long and 1.78GB. I edited out 3 minutes and want to render in the same quality.
I've tried exporting as MOV and MP4 with various settings and it either ends up huge, like 25GB or more, or half the size and terrible quality.
I also tried rendering "match sequence settings" and it chooses a GoPro codec with a weird file extension (MXF).
The closest I've gotten is H.264 "Match Source - High bitrate" but that's still 2.29GB
Thanks,
Phil

i would guess the gopro MOV file that was sent to you is h264. you can adjust the bitrate on export to h264 from premiere so its smaller. if you want more compression with sightly better quality you will have to export as dnxhd/prores or even uncompressed and then use a program like handbrake to transcode to x264 or x265.

From Premiere to AE, then Back into Premiere

I have edited some footage in Premiere and applied a bunch of effects to it by importing the sequence to AE. I now wish to export the resulting AE comp BACK into Premiere, but while it appears in the bin, it's not allowing me to drag it onto the timeline? Is there any way around this?

You can't reimport AE composition with dynamically linked sequence back into PrPro. Similarly you can't replace a group of clips in PrPro timeline or a sequence, which already contains dynamically linked composition, with dynamically linked composition once again, 'cos that creates an infinite loop.
If you want to bring your dynamically linked sequence back to PrPro, export digital intermediate out of AE and import it into PrPro.

Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

AO amplitude transitions from 0 to 10V (and back to 0 again) within running VI

Hi,
I have a NI PCI-6225 multifunction DAQ that I am using for Geophysical measurements. I am applying 10V from one AO channel and measuring voltage differences with 49 AI channels. For the method I am using I must follow these steps:
1. Set voltage out = 0V
2. Take Self Potential measurements from all AI channels
3. Turn the AO channel ON with an applied voltage = 10V (1Hz square waveform)
4. Take measurements from all AI channels
5. Loop back to step # 1
At the present, I have the VI set up to apply the AO of 10V and to take measurements over time. The only thing missing is to take the Self Potential measurements while the applied voltage is at zero volts, run the VI in its current configuration, and then to start over again.
I am using the Express VI DAQ Assistant to set up all of the electrodes in the array for the applied voltage and the measured voltage and am able to do everything needed except include the applied voltage to zero for the Self Potential measurement.
I have attempted to use the DAQmx subVI's "Stop" and "Clear" (and any other combination of subVI's) to allow for the channel to be freed up within the VI, but the output channel then gives an error signal in the next cycle of the loop.
I am not sure what else to do, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dylan
Note: Attached is the VI in which the problem is occuring. I have this VI as a subVI within a timed loop that will execute every 60 seconds.

Is there an easy way to switch iPhone microphone input from headphones to Bluetooth and back?

When driving I plug my iPhone into the car stereo AUX jack with a cable to listen to music. To receive or make phone calls, or to use Siri, I use a Bluetooth (Jawbone) headset.
If I'm playing music out the headphone jack and then answer a call, when the call ends the music starts playing again through the Bluetooth headset, so I have to switch it back to headphones. Theoretically no big deal, since there's the little airplay icon at bottom right in most music apps. Still, I really wish it would revert to playing through the headphone jacks and I didn't have to do anything. Is that possible?
But it gets more annoying. Let's say I decide to use Siri and want to use the bluetooth. This is fine IF I plugged the headphones in before connecting Bluetooth, but for some reason it often seems to happen that it defaults to the headphone jack, especially if I've been messing with it a bit -- say I was listening to music, then received a call, then hung up, so now music plays through Bluetooth, so I hit the icon to switch music back to headphones, though sometimes this doesn't work and I have to unplug and replug in the headphones. But now usually if I want to use Siri, and I hold down the iPhone home button, or even if I hold down the jawbone button, it will often take input still from headphones.
I can't go into all the variations of this that happen, but almost every car ride there's a pain about this -- someone calls but even though I answer through my headset, the input is still from the headphone jack, and i have to scramble to get the call going through Bluetooth again. Or I have to unplug then replug the headphones after Siri use. None of this even covers something other, like dictating text or making a voice memo, something else that need simply but DOESN'T have an AirPlay-style button on bottom right like the music apps do. Really a pain.
Really wish there were some easy switch to toggle the input.
And again, really wish the music would just go back to playing where to was playing from (headphones) instead of making me switch it either via a button or through unplugging/replugging headphones.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.
