Usage of pen tool in in Premiere pro

There is a pen tool in Premiere Pro CS3, but I could not find any usage of this pen tool in premiere Pro. I went through the help contents, still I could not find any documentation about the usage of the pen tool.
Anyone please explain me the usage of the pen tool in Premiere Pro.

Hi. Also, there is a pen tool that can be used to draw shapes..
This is from help file of Premiere Pro CS3...
Create shapes
You can use the drawing tools in the Titler to create a variety of shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses, and lines. The Titler includes standard pen tools that resemble those used in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

Pen Tool and New to Pro

What is the purpose of the pen tool in CS5.5?
Also I had Sony Pro and you can slice out a object in it. Can you do this in CS5.5?

Pen Tool
Select this tool to set or select keyframes, or to adjust connector lines in a Timeline. Drag a connector line vertically to adjust it. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) on a connector line to set a keyframe. Shift-click noncontiguous keyframes to select them. Drag a marquee over contiguous keyframes to select them. For more information about using the Pen Tool, see Select keyframes.

New Title Tool for Adobe Premiere Pro

VisTitle is not a new title tool definitely. But it is newly compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 & CC. If you are looking for a quick & powerful title application, VisTitle would be a perfect choice.
Now VisTitle 2.5 Trial Version is available. Here is the link: http://www.vistitle.com/ListDownLoad.asp?ID=62.
Anyone who has installed with Adobe NLE system is more than welcomed to download and test it. And if you have any feedback, please let me know.

There are also lots of tutorials on how to use it on YouTube. They are mainly made using EDIUS, since that was the first program to work with Vistitle, but once you get past the part of adding titles to the timeline, the main interface is the same.

CS6 Premiere Pro and After Effects have stopped working :(

After installing the AdobeCS6 I removed CS4 by using the Creative Cleaner Tool. Now Premiere Pro and After Effects don't work and windows wouldn't tell me what the problemm is. The rest of the CS6 is working fine apparently. Do I have to un-install then re-install all the CS6? Is it normal that the CC Cleaner tool do this? ... Thank you!

Advice around these parts is not to remove older versions after you install a newer one, because this is exactly what can happen. If you want to get rid of an older version, do that before you install the new one.
So yes, you may well need to reinstall.

On-Screen Countdown Timer in Premiere Pro CS3?

Greetings. I have been assigned a small video job for a local church. Essentially, I need to have about 3 minutes of video showing pictures and a "countdown timer" to cue the church attendees of how much time remains before the service starts. Essentially, it's a gentle "get to your seats now" kind of prompting.
I've got the project laid out with pictures and words. What I really need is the ability to have an attractive "T-minus" kind of countdown timer showing each second, starting at 3 minutes.
Does such a technique or tool exist within Premiere Pro CS3?
I thank you kindly. Thanks for reading. Cheers!
Todd

The effect is not native to Premiere. You may be able to tweak the Timecode effect to suit your needs, but I've never tried it myself.
After Effects may also have something, but I'm less familiar with that program.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - Pen Tool Issue

When trying to use the pen tool to mark key frames for the opacity levels on certain clips, it will not allow me to mark them.
For example, I imported one single clip, chopped it up on the timeline, and certain sections will not allow me to use the pen tool, but a few do.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? I'm using CS5.

Personally, I find this easier done in the Effects Control panel.

Sending Premiere Pro sequence to Pro Tools for automatic audio conforming

I’m looking to implement an online-offline workflow at my production company, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s feasible to send a sequence from Premiere Pro to Pro Tools with enough metadata to take advantage of Pro Tools’ automatic conforming feature.
Premiere Pro or Audition doesn't seem to have any kind of feature like this, so I’m turning to Pro Tools. Here’s a demonstration of the feature from Avid: http://youtu.be/Gz9e9LuIdXU
For color grading, we’re already sending XML from Premiere Pro into DaVinci Resolve, and DaVinci Resolve perfectly automatically conforms the offline proxies to online high-quality clips suitable for grading. I’m trying to accomplish the same thing with the audio clips to prepare a sequence for sound mixing. The offline proxies in a sequence contain only compressed stereo tracks, but online audio clips have all of the separate uncompressed tracks for each microphone.
My initial thought was that, before any offline editing occurs, I might, in the Premiere Pro Metadata panel, add the names of the sound rolls to all the offline proxies in the “Tape Name” field.
I’m wondering if that metadata for those clips in the Premiere Pro Project Panel are included in an EDL that would be exported out of Premiere Pro, so that Pro Tools would know how to correctly choose online audio clips.
I know EDLs contain timecode, and that seems like it would be sufficient for Pro Tools, if production only occurred within one day. However, if there are audio clips recorded on different days, at the same time of day, some audio clips in a sequence would have identical timecode, and Pro Tools wouldn’t know which clip to automatically conform. It seems like Pro Tools would choose which clip to conform by first looking at timecode, and then if there were multiple clips with the same timecode, it would resolve the conflict by identifying the specific sound roll. This is why it seems important to have the sound roll metadata included in the EDL out of Premiere Pro.
EdiLoad looks like software that might be able to batch update sound roll metadata for an EDL already exported out of Premiere, but I’m not sure.
http://www.soundsinsync.com/products/ediload
Manually going through Pro Tools and assigning correct sound rolls in a picture-locked cut wouldn’t really be an improvement over manually conforming. If I have to go through a cut and locate online audio clips, I might as well just conform manually.
So my questions are:
When exporting an EDL out of Premiere, does the EDL include “Tape Name” metadata for Pro Tools to read as a sound roll? If not, is there another format I could use that would make this round-trip feasible?
If not, does anyone have experience with EdiLoad? Would EdiLoad work to do what I'm trying to do?
Is there any other way to accomplish automatic conforming, or something else that I'm missing?

See if this helps.

100% CPU Usage in CS5.5 Premiere Pro during export/encoding

I am wondering why my CPU usage is so high during exporting of my videos. My counter shoots up to 100% as soon as I start and hovers at 95% throughout the whole process. This seems dangerous to me so I wanted to bring it up here as I haven't found anyone with this same issue on this website or google. Here are my system specs:
i5-2400 CPU @3.10GHz
6 GB of Ram
64 bit windows 7
Geforce 660 ti graphics card (2gb)
They aren't top of the line but I feel like it should be capable of encoding. I've cleaned my fans and tried using avi and h.264 formats which both led to the same issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to premiere pro so I'm sure I left some useful information out above.

"...the same results"
This means high CPU usage, right?
Correct
Are your exported media files ok?
I've only completed one because I was freaked out but yes they are fine.
I guess the thing I'm worried about is my temps going up really high because of the 100% usage. I thought that they were both entertwined as in high usage = high temps. I'll look for a temperature program to run while encoding and I'll monitor how high the temps get. You've given me hope here as I may have been making mountains out of mole hills. If the temperatures are high would you recommend more fans in my desktop?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 60GB virtual memory usage

The longer Premiere stays open, the slower it runs and the more memory it uses until the system errors out and makes me close things.
Any ideas? 60GB memory usage seems ridiculous. The total footage size is only 10GB.
Running Premiere Pro CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014 with dynamic linked files, app nap turned off.

Am having the exact same issue - premiere clogging up my system with excessive memory usage until I am forced to close things. Using most recent premiere update 8.1. Please help adobe! I'm on a deadline!

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

Hi Transportation,
Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
Hope that helps,
Kevin

In Premiere Pro I have no shape tools when I add Mosaic effect?

I want to make an oval mask over a video of my son playing basketball so he is easily seen during basketball game video.
I saw a video about the new tracking using Mosaic effect but when I add that effect I do not get the shape tools....I did see where it says it does not work with Warp Stabilizer but I never added that to the video?
How do I turn off Warp stabilizer or where do I find my shape tools?
I'm using Windows 8
Current Premiere Pro CC
Thank you for your help!

all of these will be in the effect controls window for the selected clip. if it shows no Warp Stabilizer effect listed, it shouldn't be active. you need to add an effect such as RGB curves or fast color corrector if you want to change brightness/contrast with the mask. this mask tool was a recent addition to the adobe software, so if you have an older version of premiere you may not have these.

My crop tool isn't visible in the effects controls of Premiere Pro. Where could it be?

I've just downloaded Premiere Pro CS6 and it's all up to date. When I go to the effects controls to crop a graphic the "crop tool" is not showing as in it's simply not there. To be clear, it's not there at all, no selection for a drop down. Is there some where that I need to access to make it show up or what? The motion, scale, opacity, etc are all showing as an option, but not the crop tool.

I just did that write before I read this post. I was going on here too delete this, but saw you answered it! That's exactly what I did. I've been watching tutorials and they show it as if it automatically shows up in Effect Controls...

Premiere Pro export issues. Unknown error messages, extremely slow export times, strange I/O & disk usage

Hello,
I'm hoping I can start getting answers to some big issues I've been having running Premiere pro. I've had similar issues with CS6 but it seems like with CC and every recent update, the problem hasn't been resolved, its even worse.
The main issue I have is seeing the 'unknown error' message everytime I try to export a file. I'm working with RED footage. When I turn off the CUDA support, I can export without the error but my export time goes from a few minutes to sometimes hours in the render time!
I've looked through pages and pages of forums and there are so many people saying the same thing, with millions of opinions of what the problem is. Regardless, the only thing I tried that worked so far is turning off the CUDA support.
Now something I recently noticed, is that the difference isn't the GPU usage, I still show GPU being used at 500mb or 1gb out of the 2gb that it has (GTX 680)
The strange thing is without the mercury playback option, I'm seeing that disk usage and I/O go way down to kbs from a very high number. This would make sense why I'm seeing such huge changes in render times even though it still shows my 6 core CPU maxed out and ram over 40gb out of 64 that are installed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what may be happening here? Its the only thing that has plagued my system using Premiere since day one and there seems to be no way around it..

Best way to get a real answer is go to the Tweaker's Page, download the most recent PPBM benchmark test, and run it. It's a folder that has a resource monitoring/logging program and a PrPro project with files that is short but HEAVY in effects, both AE and PrPro, so it tests all parts of a system's capabilities from disc in/out to GPU capability/use to CPU, fsb, RAM, you name it ... and after sending that back in you get a complete report on where your computer did well and what the choke-points were.
Also ... over on the Hardware forum is the place where the techies amongst us hang ...
