User settings not syncing in Premiere Pro CC

Searched around the forum and the rest of the web for help, couldn't quite find anything.
My company just hired another videographer/editor and so I got upgraded from the old Production Premium 5.5 to CS CC so we'd be running the same version.
My problem, as the title suggests, is that my settings aren't transferring between projects. I'm not getting my keyboard shortcuts, general preferences or my custom bins. All my old 5.5 projects now open with the default settings, and even after I tell it sync from the menu, they won't sync.
5.5 kepy everything across all projects, so I'm not sure if I'm missing a setting to switch on or what. I know we had some licensing issues when IT first did the upgrade, which just made me run a trial for two or three days. I haven't uninstalled/reinstalled yet, and would prefer not to. To clarify, I'm not worried about getting my settings from 5.5. I can redo my settings in CC, I just want to avoid doing it in every project. New projects are synced right out of the gate.
I'm running Windows 7 and CC v7.0.1(105), and according to my CC manager all my programs are up-to-date. Also running Ae, Ai, Au, Ps and Sg.
I changed some settings in Ae and those synced automatically, no effort on my part.
First time posting on the forums, so if I missed something, apologies!

Alright, that makes sense for the old 5.5 projects. But I'm still having issues syncing across CC projects.
Example: Made one test project, changed settings, keyboard shortcuts, special workspace and added a custom bin. Synced those to the cloud. Started a new project, Test 2. Test 2 kept all those same settings. Closed PrePro, launched it and started a new project, creatively named Test 3. Test 3 was completely default. Opened Test 2, it was set to the defaults and same with the first one, except it kept the workspace.
It seems like it keeps settings if I leave PrePro open the settings keep syncing, but if I close it and reopen, it's set to default and those settings persist... Which is why I thought new projects were keeping the settings synced.
Thanks for the help Jim!

Compression settings not working on Premiere Pro CC

I am a freelance editor working for a satellite delivery company. They have specific settings they require for their uplink signals. These setting have worked great on CS5, CS6 and CC2014. However the company is now using CC and these settings create HUGE pixels and the file is unusable. Why do the same settings not work on CC?

You're welcome.

Share Point 2013 - User Settings not initialised

Hi there,
We are using the SharePoint 2013 server on top of Windows 2012.
We've recently created user profile application service and activated the Site Feed feature.
After that one of our users experiences an annoying thing, she is being redirected from the Home Page to another page that says "Edit user settings" and "User settings not initialized ". No other user is experiencing these issues. Please
help.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that a spectial user got "Edit User Settings" when visiting a site collection.
I recommend to
remove the user from that site collection completly and then re-add him. You can select Site Settings, under "Users and Permissions", click People and groups. Select the group and user to remove it.
In addition, you need to check the user permission. You can select Site Settings, under "Site permissions", click People and groups. Click Check Permissions, enter the user.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

You observation is correct and it is the standard design of such portal roles as SRM Administrator, SRM Strategic Purchaser, or SRM Operational Purchaser to not have "personalization", but only Employee Self Service role.

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

Adobe Camera Raw changes not reflecting in Premiere Pro

I was super excited to try out the new CNDG support in Premiere Pro CC 2014, but I have to be honest - I am a bit disappointed...
I am using 16bit Cinema DNG files and the source settings sliders really aren't doing it for me (notice the pink highlights)
That's alright though, I would much rather use Adobe Camera Raw!
Right click > Edit Original
There we go, that looks nice - no pink highlights, nicely recovered details in the shadows and highlights.
PERFECT, click DONE!
Nothing...For whatever reason, changes are not reflecting.
Adobe - please allow us to use Adobe Camera Raw, there are so many folks out there that want to incorporate it into their workflow. I have tried SpeedGrade and various other color correcting tools and I have found Adobe Camera Raw to work the best IMHO
Thank you for your time.

Hello! I too am having this same problem. I used Camera Raw (both in Bridge and Photoshop to make sure) to adjust and correct the Cinema DNG files I shot with my BMPCC; however, the video sequence in Premiere does not reflect any of the changes made. Why would Adobe not support Camera Raw settings in Premiere?
Sorry, but Premiere Pro does not have a camera raw importer. You adjust the settings in the Source Settings dialog box instead (for RED, ARRI Raw, BMCC and BM Pocket Camera DNG files). You do have access to some controls for these formats, but in some cases, Camera Raw has more controls.

Camera Raw is an amazing tool for refining an image and gives me the best results compared to SG and Davinci. I was so excited to be able to use it once Premiere supported CinemaDNGs but now I'm confused as to why it's not supported.
Cinema DNG from the Blackmagic Cameras are supported, you just adjust settings in Source Settings, as I mentioned. Have you tried that? The reasoning behind this is that Cinema DNG video coming from camera raw is too difficult to playback and edit with.
That said, some users bring Cinema DNG footage to After Effects, adjust the video there, then render out files that are suitable to edit with.
ekombokom wrote:
I thought the point of using Adobe was that all their products worked together seamlessly? I really hope they fix this.
You can always make a request here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request, however, I don't see a camera raw importer going into Premiere Pro any time soon (if ever) because of the reasons I previously mentioned (editing with camera raw would be too cumbersome). I think the more realistic feature request would be to add more controls in Source Settings.
Thanks,
Kevin

4K footage to DVD: what are the best settings for exporting in Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2?

Hello everyone!
I am editing a big bunch of short 4K clips (XAVC in MP4) which will then go onto DVDs. The idea is to get as many of those clips on a DVD as possible. Using Premiere Pro 7.2.2 on Windows 8.
What I would like to know is whether I'm actually using the best possible settings for this case, because the video exported to MPEG2-DVD doesn't look that good. Or maybe it needs to be exported to a different format and rather converted to DVD format after?
The sequence setting are the following:
RED Cinema
Frame rate: 29,97 fps
3840x2160 (16:9)
Square pixels
The export settings I've been using:
MPEG2-DVD
Aspect ratio: 16:9
TV Format: PAL
Field order: progressive
Frame rate: 25
Video quality: 100
Bitrate: VBR
1, I've tried different bitrates, also setting minimum at 9, but this blows up the file size too much (as i mentioned, the idea is to get at many clips as possible on a DVD)
GOP: M - 3, N - 15 (haven't touched those)
Multiplexer: none (should i put DVD?)
I'm using maximum render quality
Have I given all the information?
Any help will be appreciated!@

As Ann has advised do not expect too much, you are going down a lot in quality.
Why are you also going from NTSC to a PAL output?
Premiere will drop frames to get from 29.97 to 25.
PAL DVD players read NTSC discs fine as long as they are region 0
Why are you trying to produce a DVD anyway?
A Bluray would be far better quality.
Also a minimum 9 is way wrong, c9.6 is the max in the spec and hence avoided as your system is trying to push the spec limits to close.
I used to use 6 - 7.5 - 8.8 in my VBR and they looked fine, now I am all HD.

Blackmagic ultra studio sdi not working with Premiere Pro 8cc or A.E.cc(2014) on win7 GT630m i7 laptop - But works in A.E.cc(12.2.1.5)

There's a problem with the new update, as I no longer can use my BM Ultra Stdio SDI for monitoring. It let me select it but no image just black frame, with the new premiere pro cc 8 or a.e. cc (2014)
But i have No Problem in A.E. cc (12.2.1.5) work find just like it should, So what has happen here ? My system is Win7 Ultmate Laptop i7 Toshiba Satellite p850, dual gpu's GT630m & Intel HD 4000
With the latest blalckmagic drivers installed (10.1.1) This needs to be looked into, there is no way of monitoring accurately .

Problem Solved! (with a small catch)
While searching crashing issues I came across this thread,"Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2"
Marc_Lec Answered (and I paraphrase here)"...I had the same problem and this is what I did. In 'Preferences Memory' I increased the memory reserved for other application to at least half the installed and changed the optimize render from 'performance' to 'memory."
Thank You Marc_Lec for what has been a game changer for me since my last computer and the beginning of PremiereCC problems.
I changed my Memory reserved for Other Applications from the default 7gigs to 1/2 of my approx.31 available Gigs = 16Gigs. Viola!
No more crashing what-so-ever!
I still have to purchase an older GTX 980 graphics card to take advantage of Adobe's approved code to utilize X=Cuda Cores and GPU, but I think I'll hang onto my new TitanX, in hopes that Adobe will write code and approve it someday in the near future.
Now why doesn't Adobe say this officially about Memory Settings? (I don't know maybe they do and I missed I somewhere)
Mine and probably many peoples computers problems here on this board may be attributed to a simple Memory adjustment, because the computer needs more than 7Gigs to run itself, not to mention Premiere.

Adobe Media Encoder Dynamic Link Server NOT CONNECTING to Premiere Pro

I have Media Encoder CS5, as part of the Creative Suite 5. My programs say that I have no updates to install, so everything is up to date.
I am having an issue with the dynamic link server.
Here's what has happened thus far.
Recently when I have tried to encode a project sequence from Adobe Premiere Pro it DOES NOT work. This is the first time that has happened.
I repeated the process and again, it still happened, unable to connect to the Dynamic Link.
The Error messages that I was getting was "could not read from source. Check if it has been moved or been deleted"
Once, I received this, I went to check to see if all files were linked properly, and they were. Everything was rendered and all was good in the timeline and the project itself.
Yet, again, the error message appeared.
Then I tested a previous project that I knew had been exported and worked through Adobe to Media Encoder. And all the files were linked properly and yet again received the error message I wrote above.
Then I thought the Dynamic Link itself wasn't working properly, so I tested importing an Adobe After Effects Comp into a Premiere Timeline and it DID WORK.
Then I went and tested if a video file of an already exported project would be able to sync to Media Encoder. And this WORKED.
I then went to add the file directly from Media Encoder and when I went to add a sequence from a saved Premeire File, it would take about 5 minutes "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server", to then state, "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed"
My question is, how do I fix the dynamic link between Media Encoder and Premiere? Because, additionally, importing and After Effects Sequence works with Media Encoder.

I've been searching/troubleshooting for days, none of the firewall, new shortcuts in folder, antivirus, you name it I tried it even wiped my system which seemed to work at first..
What did it for me in the end was I had Dxtory (a software recorder, for recording gameplay) running on startup, and somehow it interfered with only Premiere projects in Media Encoder, I could still import AE projects go figure.
Check all the programs you have running or use sometimes, if they have some sort of hook into other programs/deal with video/codecs this could be your problem too!
Thanks to everyone trying to solve this problem!

Smart rendering for DNxHD quicktimes not working in Premiere Pro CC

Hi if I understand things correcty PPCC should be able to smart render DNxHD codec in a quicktime wrapper back . If so this does not appear to be working. I am noticing small differences if I pull in a DNxHD quickitme clip in to Premiere and just render straight back out again no effects just cuts as DNxHD Quicktime. My sequence is set up to be the same as the codec. Although I do notice that trying to set the exact settings for the quicktime codec is not easy as it resets back to the defaults of DNxHD 220 59.94i so maybe this has something to do with it and their is no option to choose the MXF setting for my medi a as Adobe have neglected to make a DNxHD115 preset.
If you look on the YC waveform you can see the changes occuring when you compare the two side by side. This however does not happen if you render out as Opt1a MXF as it does appear to smart render and when ingested back in you see no difference with the source DNxHD clip. I also notice that when you choose the Opt1a option it has an extra check box for smart rendering.
Anyone noticed this. It all works perfectly for ProRes quickitmes so just wondering why its not working for DNxHD quicktimes.
Simon

Hi Simon,
Here's what I have for you:
Smart Render support for DNxHD wrapped in QuickTime was added in Premiere Pro CC
You must have Avid codecs installed
No option to check to enable smart rendering is needed, Premiere Pro always tries to smart render by default
The first thing I would check is to see if the DNxHD (QuickTime) codecs are installed or not.
Thanks,
Kevin

Audiounit/VST plugins not appearing in Premiere Pro CC

Hi
I recently the purchased the Slate Virtual Bus Compressor plugin bundle and was hoping to use it in Premiere Pro CC on OSX 10.8.4
Currently the plugins will not show at all in Premiere, but do show in Audition. I would have expected that they shared the same engine when it came to scanning and registering VST and Audiounit plugins.
All the other plugins by this company show and work with no problems in Premiere.
Is there any way to get Premiere to refresh the plugin list so that it 'sees' the new plugins?
I bought these plugins after I installed Premiere CC so maybe that has something to do with it?

PrPro has more limited use of VST's, than full audio-editing programs, like Audition.
In very general terms, there are three "types" of VST's, relating to PrPro:
Those VST's that can load and be used by PrPro
Those VST's that can load, but cannot be used by PrPro (in older versions, the user got a one-time warning about such VST's. Not sure if the warnings still exist. Basically, the message stated "PrPro can load this VST, but cannot use it."
Those VST's that cannot be loaded (so cannot be used either), and will often cause PrPro to hang on launch. PrPro writes a "blacklist," at each failure, so that it does not try to load that VST again.
It will probably take a response from an Adobe Developer, to tell us exactly what some VST's load and work fine in PrPro, but others cause issues, or just do not show up.
Good luck,
Hunt

Photoshop Edited Video Not Playing In Premiere Pro

Hi All
Apologies if this thread has been repeated elsewhere but I am getting pretty deperate in trying to sorth this problem out.
I am creating a remastered project of my Sister's Wedding video and I want to touch up a few frames in the video usinf Photoshop.
Here are the steps I did:
1) I have created a new Photoshop (PSD) file within Premiere Pro with the same frame size/rate etc.
2) I then import the wedding video into the PSD doucument in photoshop which creates a video layer.
3) I search the frames that require repair and edit using the tools in PS.
4) Then Save the the file in PS.
5) I move back to PPro and Import the PSD file into the project panel. As there was only one video layer, I selected 'all layers'.
6) I move the PSD file to the timeline and press play and the program monitor just shows the last frame I edited in Photoshop even though the sequence is over 90 minutes long! The playhead moves but just a single frame shown on the monitor.
Am I missing something here? I know you can have a Photoshop/Premiere Pro workglow and do all the edits or filtering, transitions necessary and it will automatically update in Premiere Pro, but this simply isn't working as I'd expect.
I am an amateur user of these applications and being partially sighted probably doesn't help either, so any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Hi Dave,
Haven't touched up any video in Photoshop in a couple of years, but the last step is definitely to export as VIDEO from PS, which will be an .MOV file. A .PSD file is not video
EDIT: Just Googled "how to edit video in photoshop", tons of tutorial vids come up right away
Thanks

Producing a Video - Best Render Settings for After Effects & Premiere Pro?

Hi Guys,
I just want to make sure I am producing my video the right way .... it takes an awfully long time and I have to use 2 programs....
First I have a 1080p HD Camcorder - so when I shoot my videos I want to ensure they are 1080p.
So I do my editing in After Effects and produce the video as an AVI file - and usually a 5 min clip outputs as 70GB (Full Quality Settings)
I then take this video and import it into Premiere Pro and produce it as WMV file (Full Quality) and then the final output is 200MB and the quality is not lost - so I am happy.
So my question is am I doing it the best way?
I tried to produce it as a WMV straight from After Effects but I am not sure what settings to pick that will keep the quality and not make the filesize huge - so I am forced to use 2 programs.
So if there is an easier way let me know ... bc it sucks using 2 programs to render out the video.
And also is that normal - 200mb for a 5 min clip or is that still too big?
Remember I want to keep things 1080p.
If you want to see a sample of my video that I am producing - you can watch my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/socialmindz
Thanks for your help.

I agree with Rick.

Scene Detect not functioning in Premiere Pro CS6

Hello all,
Having an issue with Scene Detect not recognizing individual scenes when I Capture HDV footage from my Canon XH series cameras. Tapes just come in as one long file rather than individual scenes. I am using CS6 on my MAC computers (OS 10.7.5 and 10.6.8).
This is baffling as I've captured many tapes from many weddings and have never experienced this problem to this point.
I did reset my cameras to default settings recently but can't seem to find anything that would indicate that causing the issue. However, it is the only change I have made unless a recent Adobe or OS update could have caused the issue?
Your help and knowledge are greatly appreciated!

Problem solved.
For anyone seeking a possible solution to this simple but incredibly aggravating issue: Make sure your camera's date and time fields are set. Premiere Pro's "Scene Detect" function uses your cameras time signature to differentiate scenes in your captured footage. No time code = no individual scene detection.
When I reset my camera to default settings I erased my time and date fields. I wasn't too worried about it as I typically use these cameras for their HD SDI capability with timecode captured via Tricaster, however this became a frustrating problem when I used the cameras for a recent wedding capture and I now have four long files rather than the intended multiple scenes I need for editing...
Hope this simple discovery makes someone's day a little easier...
