Trying to export a 0.3 second Flash file as an MOV for Premiere Pro - currently exporting as empty?

Hi,
I have a 0.3 second animation tween made in Flash of a small button scaling and I am trying to export it for use in Premiere Pro.
I am not able to import a .swf in Premiere Pro so am trying to export as a .mov instead. When I export as .mov the file comes out empty and when I play the file it doesnt show anything and does not play.
I have tried changing it in Flash to longer than 1 second to see if I could export it again with any luck but this does exactly the same.
Please could you tell me the best way to export my animation from Flash for use in Premiere Pro - preferably keeping the vector image I have used intact as a vector but its not a problem if not.
Thanks
James

Hmmm I would say as an image sequence would be best. The only programs that support swf files are After Effects and the Adobe Media Encoder which actually works nicely to convery from one file to another. I got it with my Flash CC download so you might try that.

Help,I am trying to get function calls from a flash file within an embedded SMIL file to work with Netscape.

Basically, the functions are on the html document in which the SMIL file is embedded and the flash file within the SMIL file calls the function from a button.
The code on the html doc determines whether the browser is Netscape or IE and then executes the appropriate code. For ex. for Netscape the function is:
document.radio.SetSource('video.smi')
and for IE the function is:
radio.SetSource('video.smi')
All the function calls work fine in IE but in Netscape it does nothing.

Best Export / Video settings for Premiere Pro. Help Needed.

What's the best settings when you want to export a video from Premiere Pro for the web or otherwise. Best settings = good quality video and LOW file size.
Benchmark : The videos on Apple Trailers. Check them out at http://www.apple.com/trailers
The trailers are of high quality video, great sounds, and the Large sizes all fall under the 25MB mark. Any ideas on HOW this is done and what
settings in Premiere Pro CS3 might be able to replicate such standards?
Any help is appreciated. I normally use Encoder and export using H264 but that always seems to have an Audio lag. Any similar issues?
Thanks a mil!

I understand that better quality = bigger file size. That's true in most cases, but there is a way around it, I'm just not sure what that way is. As I mentioned in the original post, the benchmark is http://www.apple.com/trailers . The non-HD videos on any movie page on that site hardly ever exceeds the 25MB mark. The videos are 2-3minutes long, and while they may not be top-notch BD visuals, they look way better than 95% of the stuff that's streamed off the net.
That's why I asked if anyone had any ideas on how to replicate something like that. Say I had a avi file of great quality, shot with a Panasonic DV Cam. I Capture the footage, do whatever I have to in Pr, and the result is now a 3minute video. I want it exported to a Quicktime file, I want it to look visually pleasing like the trailers on Apple, and I want it to fall under 25MB. I have tried H.264 encoding, regular Quicktime, and Quicktime via Encoder. Nothing reaches the expected quality.
For more examples visit http://www.passionpictures.com.my/pages/recent.aspx and download those simple 30second clips. All Quicktime, mostly under 5.5MB. If Pr can't do it, then I don't know what can...so I'm sure Pr can do it.
Problem is, how? Experimentation is definitely a way to go, I get that. But on the basis of the scenario given above...how is it done?

Format of file Exported by SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs4

Hi
I am trying to build a plugin which can use a custom codec to export an imported video to h264 format.
The codec which i have to use converts a YUV420 raw video to h264 format. As given in the Premiere SDK Guide
the SDK Exporter supports uncompressed 8-bit RGB with or without alpha, and packed
10-bit YUV (v410). The initial rendering is performed by the RenderVideoFrame() function call which is called in RenderAndWriteVideoFrame().
This is then converted using various calls like ConvertFrom8uTo32f(), ConvertFromBGRA32fToVUYA32f(), and ConvertFrom32fToV410().
The problem i m facing is that i m not able to verify if the RenderVideoFrame() is working correctly and the format in which it writes.
Is there any way to check using any media player that can play the exported video. Unless i know the exact(correct) exported format
i wont be able to convert it to the required YUV420 format that i need.
Also if i dont use the ConvertFrom functions and use only the video stream written by RenderVideoFrame, can u specify clearly the format
and any media player which can play it, so as to check the working.
Thanks

Zac do you have any charts on what the pixel formats each filter supports?
If you use quirky filters (Adobe or 3rd party) you know they implemented with the mandated pixel format (BGRA_4444_8u) but probably no others. The result is that no matter what the importer/workflow/compiler combo you think you're working in you are forced to use BGRA_4444_8u from that point on in the workflow. - so much for "native" DV, HDV, MPEG2, MPEG4, CineForm, RED, etc etc etc.
Can you provide a list of what PixelFormats the Adobe filters support?
It would great to see it for CS5|4|3 & Prem Pro 2.0*
Eg:     FILTER      PIXELFORMATS
     MOTION     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     BLUR          BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     XXXXXX     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
     YYYYYY     BGRA_4444_8u   YUVA_4444_8u   V410   DV etc etc
That would be a fantastic table for the user to have. That way you know when you're forcing the workflow from the native import pixelformat type (and colorspace for that matter) back to 8bit RGBA. (and potentially loosing 10bit quality and screwing up the colorspace of rec601 and rec709).
I mention Premiere Pro 2.0 because it was the last version that processed the Timeline single threaded and thus the last version that single-threaded filters can be used on. 'fortunately plugins intended for later versions of Premiere will work with it because Prem Pro 2.0 understands the version 8 API of CS3 and CS4.
For this reason (legacy plugins) I'm in the process of pulling some plugins from CS3 into the Prem Pro directory to see it they work. I'm willing to do that even though the filter I want to use is BGRA_4444_8u only. - the filter is THAT important to me.
Sidenote: this is why I'm SO disappointed with CS5. Forcing plugins to be 64bit has killed the use of hundreds of 3rd party plug-ins created over the last 20 years - many of which are End Of Life and thus will only ever be 32bit. I would have been a lot happier to have CS5 implement proxy editing (ie OffLine editing) and then on Export click a button to use the Online (ie full res) material instead. That feature would have allowed v fast timeline rendering (with or without CUDA) and much lower requirements on cpu/gpu and storage. In the few instances that you need to edit in native 2k or 4k etc then sure do it but I bet 90% of the time you can work in 1080p or lower to get your movie produced.

Exported Interlaced Video by SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs6

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Project Setting Sequence is XDCAM HD422 1080i25(50i)
I tested the Plugin AVI(Uncompress) ,output interlaced video OK no problem.
I use Premiere Pro CS6 r2 SDK
I am trying to build a plugin for interlaced video.
Problem occured when I modified by the program below:-
SDK_Exporter.cpp at subroutine RenderVideoFrame
for interlaced video with PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_8u or PrPixelFormat_VUYA_4444_8u
and set
renderParms.inRenderQuality = kPrRenderQuality_High;

mySettings->exportParamSuite->ChangeParam(exID, 0, ADBEVideoFieldType, &fieldType);
renderParms.inDeinterlace = kPrFalse;

SequenceRender_GetFrameReturnRec renderResult;
    resultS = mySettings->sequenceRenderSuite->RenderVideoFrame(mySettings->videoRenderID,
                                                                videoTime,

    mySettings->ppixSuite->GetPixels( renderResult.outFrame, PrPPixBufferAccess_ReadOnly, &frameBufferP);
In frameBufferP is only progressive frame not intelaced frame
Please advise what should I do in order to get interlaced frame.

Report Builder - Trying to find data in a second Dataset based off of two items in the current dataset

The situation:
I have two datasets for collecting meter reads. One is for the last Raw read, the other is for the last Billed read. Each table has the reads for machines based on the serial number and meter type. For example:
Raw -
SN: ABC123456
Read Date: 8/1/14
Black Impressions: 237
Color Impressions: 136
I need to generate a report that has both sets of reads, preferably under the same Meter Type
Black Impressions
Serial Number
Read Date
Raw Read
Bill Date
Bill Read
I was thinking I could use a Code function to return the Billable Date and Read. But to do so I would have to pass three different items over to the code and I am not sure how to do so. As you will see in a second, I know very little about VB coding, but
here is along the lines of what I was thinking.
Function BillableMeterRead(ByVal metername As Decimal(0), billablemetername as Object(0), billableread As Object(0)) as Decimal
ct=0
fct=0
For Each item As Object In billablemetername
ct+=1
If metername=billablemetername Then fct=ct
Next
ct=0
For Each item As Object in billableread
If ct=fct Then return something
ct+=1
Next
End Function
So am I close at all?

Lookup only works in a one to one relationship. That's not what I am trying to do here. Printers have more than one type of page count. There are Black Impressions, Color Impressions, and Page Count (for example). So I want to have a report that shows the
Billable Pages for an asset (from one dataset) and then the last Raw pages for the same asset (from the second dataset).
For example I would want one of the lines to be...
Serial Number, Last Billed Black Impressions Read Date, Last Billed Black Impressions, Last Raw Black Impressions Read Date, Last Raw Black Impressions, Last Billed Color Impressions Read Date, Last Billed Color Impressions, Last Raw Color Impressions Read
Date, Last Raw Color Impressions, Last Billed Page Count Read Date, Last Billed Page Count, Last Raw Page Count Read Date, Last Raw Page Count.
So if I used Lookup like you suggest, it would only return the Black Impressions, since that's the first read typically stored for the device. How do I then get the Color Impressions and the Page Count? I can use LookupSet, but then how do I break the data
out? How do I lay that data onto the table?

Help me! Audition always failing exports to wav, mov, and Premiere Pro! WHY???

Hello,
I am sound editing and mixing a picture locked 25 min short film. When done with the mix and ready to export the mixdown, the export always takes forever (the project is 12GB large total) I mixdown to stereo file wav, but when I open the file, both VLC and Media Player don't play, with WMP saying its corrupt. I bring the same file into Premiere, and it says that it cannot import "because of a header problem"! What is that? I tried the same with the export to Quicktime (mov) format, and I got the same result. Go up to the window and choose Export to Premiere (you know, directly into Premeire) and it says it it will take 12 hours. I don't remeber cs5.5 taking this long. HELP PLEASE, I need to export this by tonight!!!
Export settings(both formats):
Convvert to 48 khz
Convert to 24 bt (32 with mov; only option)
tried both RF64 and Legacy Chunk whatever
Premeire Pro freindly setting on in Preferences
Windows 7 64 Pro
INtel Core i7 930
16GB RAM
GeForce GTS 250

I don't think a file of that length should exceed 4GB, but be aware that Audition CAN export wave files larger than that due to the RF64 support (vs. 'legacy chunk'), and Premiere can't yet open RF64 giga-wave-files!
Now, other than telling you that this shouldn't be happening, we'll need more information before we can track down what's wrong. Best thing is to detail for us what your export settings are, precisely.

Exporting in H.264 gives me a Aac file of 0 kb in premiere pro cs6.

Hey guyz,
I've been making a project of mixing video's en music peaces into a video. I have exported this project several times And first this was no problem at all.
The last few days it became a problem. After exporting my project in 35 hours it should have been completed. 100% was showing and i did not get any errors.
When i got to the output folder there are only 2 Aac files with 0 kb as memory. I've tried several things:
Changed the fps (25, 29,7) and other options in exporting (youtube-file, vimeo file),
Exported a Avi file (this worked but this is not the export file i want due the loss of hd-quality),
I have removed several videotracks,
Help is very welcome!

Exporting Final Cut prjects for Premiere Pro

Hello,
I wanted to know if some knows what would be the best and quickest way to export a project from final cut in a format that will allow me to import that file in Premiere. I know i can export the final cut project as a quciktime movie but that converting process takes FOREVER. I was wondering if there is a way around quick time.

Eddie points out something that will likely help you, though maybe not in time.
First, I'd make a complete backup of your FCP Project onto an external HDD - do not know FCP, so cannot help you with exactly the best way to do this. Get everything and keep the folder structure the same.
Though it does take time, I'd also do the .MOV Export from FCP, as the ultimate backup and a possible failsafe, should the CS4 4.1 still not get it right. You might have to convert your .MOV file outside of either FCP, or PrPro, but you will have it.
Last, if you've been a good student (and I'd guess that you have been), I'll bet that your instructor would grant you access to the lab's Mac and FCP, especially since this was a project for this semester. Now, if you are moving away from university, that might throw a monkeywrench into things, but if your local to the shcool, talk to your professor now, and make arrangements. I used my film school's editing booth for a few years after graduation with the department's permission - sweet, since time on an 8-plate Moviola was expensive as heck way back then.
Good luck, and make sure to get everything and I do mean EVERYTHING on your external HDD.

SDK_Exporter_params.cpp in SDK Exporter plugin for premiere pro cs4

This question is regarding the code in
exSDKGenerateDefaultParams(exportStdParms                *stdParms,
                                         exGenerateDefaultParamRec    *generateDefaultParamRec) function
The below function is called in the above function's code
exportInfoSuite->GetExportSourceInfo(    exporterPluginID,
                                                kExportInfo_VideoFrameRate,
                                                &seqFrameRate);
to get info for videoframerate in seqFrameRate
Then seqFrameRate.mFloat64 is compared with different values in the code segment
if(timeSuite)
     timeSuite->GetTicksPerSecond (&ticksPerSecond);
     if (seqFrameRate.mFloat64 > 29.97f &&
            seqFrameRate.mFloat64 < 29.98f ||
            seqFrameRate.mFloat64 < 0.1f ||

            timeSuite->GetTicksPerVideoFrame(kVideoFrameRate_NTSC, &seqFrameRateTicks);
for assigning the appropriate value to seqFrameRateTicks
The problem i m facing is that the value of seqFrameRate.mFloat64
is coming out to be zero(why?).
Also, since the type of ticksPerSecond and seqFrameRateTicks
is PrTime(which is a 64 bit int), i want to know what will be the best way
to convert them into other 32 bit values(int, float etc).
Thank You
Agam

Hi Agam,
This code in the CS4 SDK was written for the initial 4.0 release, where GetExportSourceInfo(kExportInfo_VideoFrameRate) originally returned a float value. In 4.0.1, this was changed (to be simpler for developers) to return a PrTime value. So in the CS5 SDK release, the code now looks like this:
exportInfoSuite->GetExportSourceInfo(
    exporterPluginID,
kExportInfo_VideoFrameRate,
&seqFrameRate);
frameRateValues.value.timeValue = seqFrameRate.mInt64;
So it now uses the mInt64 member of the union, because PrTime is a 64-bit int.
To convert PrTime to a float, the SDK Guide, chapter 3, section on Time, reads: "When a frame rate is represented as a PrTime, the frame rate is the number of ticks in a frame duration. The current number of ticks per second must be retrieved using the callback in the Time Suite." So just divide the PrTime value by the ticks per second returned by GetTicksPerSecond().
Cheers

Premiere Elements 10 Able to Export XML For Premiere Pro, Avid, Or Final Cut Pro?

Is there a way to XML the projects or timelines out of Premiere elements so they will open in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro or Avid if I later switch to one of those programs?
I wonder why you can't open a Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro?

Actually, within a somewhat narrow range, you CAN Open PrE Projects (PREL files) in a contemporary version of PrPro. For instance, I can Open my PrE 4.0 PREL's in PrPro 2.0. When you get several version numbers apart, it might not work. As a for instance, I cannot Open PrE 7, 8, 9 or 10 PREL's in PrPro 2.0, but PrE 9 PREL's do Open in PrPro CS 5.
One thing to remember, however, is that PrE has some features that do not exist in PrPro. Examples will be Themes/Instant Movies, NewBlue FX Effects/Transitions, etc. If you have used any of those features, you will loose them, when you do Open the PrE PREL in PrPro. Note: PrPro Projects (PRPROJ files) will NOT Open in PrE. These same limitations also exist when Opening older Premiere, or PrPro Projects in later versions - some of the older versions had 3rd party features, that do not exist in later PrPro versions, but the program is pretty neat, in that it will tell you of, say a missing Transition, will tell you the TimeCode where that was used, and also give you the name of the missing Transition. Effects can be a bit tougher.
I cannot comment on AVID, or FCP, but I would rather doubt that the PREL's will Open in those programs. Maybe someone with those, plus PrE, can comment.
Now, PrPro does offer some X-program support, with features like EDL's, etc., but PrE does not support those.
Good luck,
Hunt
