Using 5.1 Stems in Premiere Pro CC20141

I'm setting up a Premiere project for creating deliverables of a film and I'm wondering if I'm properly setting up this sequence.  I've done this before but I'm either forgetting a step or something has changed in a CC update.  I'm probably forgetting a step.
I tried this method but no matter what I do, all of my audio goes to tracks 1-2 and 5-6.
The solution I have come up with is this.  Before I place the audio in a sequence, I modify the audio of each stem by selecting the 5.1 preset and then mapping it to the appropriate channel.
(Clip settings for my center channel audio as an example)
I then select all of my stems, right click and choose "New Sequence From Clip."  This strings them out in a single track but everything is quickly placed in sync on the respective tracks.  Now my sequence audio settings look like this (exactly like my clip settings):
(Sequence Settings)
I now have audio in all 6 channels and I am able to export a Quicktime with 5.1 audio and everything sounds great. 
At face value, this looks like everything is fine.  My question is does this actually work?  For instance, if I send a file to a theatre or festival, will they be able to play the 5.1 audio?

If you're getting your correct sound placements over in Qt, that's a good sign you're doing it right. You could also go through the work of outputting this to DVD through Encore (bit of a pain) and playing that on a couple surround-setup tv systems. The next release coming in a few months has an easier to understand dialog box, but you might have this one down.

  • How to use .MKV and .ISO with Premiere Pro? They are not supported.

    Hi all. My brother in-law sent us two .mkv videos and a DVD .iso he wants me to use in a video I am cutting for him. The only trouble is, I've no idea how to get them into a format PremPro can handle.
    I've searched and the only solutions I have found are infinitely complicated for me. Avisynth is certainly beyond me.
    Anyone know of a way to convert .mkv (info lists 942x720 H.264 4:2:0 YUV MPEG4 AVC) into something useable?
    Same question for an ISO file.
    Thanks much
    By the way, this is not for anything 'important' nor am I getting paid, so I have no budget tp purchase software. I am sure there must be a free solution.
    I tried this trial version software...
    http://www.moyea.com/import-flv/
    But it would NOT install. It just errored in a loop and was unable to find or understand I have CS5 PremPro.

    Can anyone explain how to use VLC to transcode? The settings are endless and NONE look correct. Everything is about coverting and shrinking and that is not what I want.
    I have looked into this so many times and cannot find how to do it. I know it must be simple, but clearly I am blind.
    What I need is to take whatever is inside that stupid MKV wrapper and extract it. Transcode it. I have been trying for A YEAR now and have never been able to find a solution.
    I'm on a PC and unfortunately, there are free solutions for a MAC. But that won't help me.
    EDIT: One option I see is tsMuxer! But which setting for Output? I can choose...
    TS muxing... or M2TS musing... or Blu-ray disk... or AVCHD disk... or DEMUX
    To explain more, I have a Blu-Ray I purchased and want to add the audio from my laserdisc, since the remixed audio on the disc sucks (hard). I'll also add English subtitles. To be clear, this work is for ME for my own personal use.
    Here is a screen grab from tsMuxer. Which to choose? I will place the audio and video in Premiere Pro. Sync the old Laserdisc audio up and then EXPORT to Adobe Encore to burn a new BD.

  • Using an external microphone with Premiere pro

    Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum and I really don't know if you guys could help me with this. But I have bought a Samson C01U microphone a few days ago and I really want to use Adobe Premiere pro to record some guitar covers of myself. The problem is however; I record my video's with my sony handycam and I want to use my new mic to record the sound but when I press F5 (to capture a movie in Premiere pro) it still uses the microphone from my camera. What should I do?
    I have already tried this: http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/Microphone
    Thanks everyone

    This is how I do it at the moment: I start premiere pro and Audience. Then I turn off my speakers to make sure it doesn't get feedback from it. Then I hit record on both programs and sync up the video and audio lines after my movie is done (then I also disable the audio that my Handycam has recorded)
    But that's a lot of work if you want to shoot many video's. There must be a better way right?
    This is how I got my microphone enabled in Pr: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408222.html
    It works, but only if I want to record AFTER I have recorded the movie (like a voice-over)
    Any more ideas? (thanks for all the great reply's btw) you guys are really helpful

  • How can I encode my film sequences, using OSX Mac version of Premiere Pro & Media Encoder? for WMV

    Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue. I'm runnning CS6 Premiere Pro and adobe media encoder both on the Mac OSX system. I'm trying to encode or output my file as a WMV so it can be used using the Window media player on the PC windows. I can't find the option to do that. Strangely, I have seen this setting on the Window version of CS suite and can't understand why it has been excluded from the MAc version. Please can someone advise in some detail on how to encode the for WMV using the MAC version of the Creative Suite? Much appreciate. And no I don't know what losslessly compressed master means as mentioned in a previous forums. PLEASE HELP. THANKS GUYS.

    You need a plugin called Flip4Mac to create a wmv on a Mac
    It plugs in to Quicktime.
    WMV is generally unavailable on MAcs cos its a Windows thing ( Windows Media Video)
      just like PorRes is not available generally on a Windows system.

  • How to transfer and use the project files from Premiere Pro cs6 MAC OS to Premiere Pro CS6 Windows

    Is there any plugin or tool that can help me to transfer my project files along data edited on adobe premiere cs6 MAC OS to the adobe premiere pro cs 6 on windows PC

    When transferring a project from one computer to another,to stop errors such as these, its essential to ensure that the project is copied with all the files and folders in exactly the same locations. Also before opening the project on the new computer, you need to set up a new project and set all the preferences to be exactly the same as on the first computer. Then when you open the project, premiere will find all the files in all the right places. Even then you may need to re-link some files. Just follow the prompts when Premiere asks "Where is file...."
    We use USB hard drives to store students projects on and they are used on many different computers without problems, as the preferences are all set to be the same.

  • Use Media Encoder CS5 in Premiere Pro CS4?

    Is there a way to use the Media Encoder CS5 (64bit) with CS4 Premiere Pro (32bit)? The problem is: I only have Premiere CS4 (and not CS5), but I have Adobe Design Premium CS5 (which includes the new Media Encoder, but not Premiere).

    but to automatically open up AME CS5 ... hmmm.. maybe a hack?
    No, that will not work. Even if you have Audition 4.0 installed (beta), edit in Audition from CS5 will only access Audition 3.0.
    The only way to try it is to open AME CS5, go to File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and select the CS4 project and then the correct sequence.

  • Using a GTX 670 with Premiere Pro CC

    This is a similar question to one that's been asked many times before, pertaining to earlier versions of Premiere.
    With CS6, some cards not on the supported list could be added via a "hack". Can a similar modification be made for Premiere Pro CC ? And if so, how and where ?
    Something related to Premiere- I also wonder if Speedgrade can support my GTX 670.

    After some searching around, I found this page from Adobe  > http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support.html
    According to that page, selecting non certified cards now only requires a simple change in the project settings.

  • What's a good HD camera to use with Premiere Pro CS4

    I've used Premiere Pro CS4 for a while now and most of the time I don't have any problems, but recently, I've been buying HD cameras, shooting some AVCHD and then having a hell of a time getting them to play nice with Premiere Pro (or WMindows Media Player... or Quicktime... or anything but their crappy bundled software that won't let me edit or anything). My girlfriend says I should give up and buy a Mac and use FCP, but I like Premiere Pro. I'm about to take another camera back to Best Buy and I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for the easiest camera to use with Premiere Pro.
    In case you're wondering, I've bought a Canon Vixia HF10 and a Samsung HMX-H100 so far and both had every issue I can think of from codec incompatibility to aspect ratios changing to A/V sync being lost to all-out-I-don't-know-WTF-just-happend-errors. I just want a camera that's going to give me a file I can drop straight into Premiere.

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • Using Wacom Intros4 in Premiere Pro

    Hi
    When moving clips in the timeline using my Wacom Intros4 in Premiere Pro it is very sluggish and most times it drops my clips or overwrites in the wrong places. I've switched to the Apple Mouse and moving clips with that is fine. I'm editing with 1080p Sony EXCAM footage.
    I'm working on a Mac Pro with 16GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GT120 card which is fast enough to editng EXCAM footage.
    I've already turned off the Ink function in System Prefrences and still no difference.
    Is anyone else experience these problems
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I did try it and I have the same effect.

  • Using an icon font in Adobe Premiere Pro

    Hello,
    i want to use an icon font (e.g. Font Awesome) with Adobe Premiere Pro. I installed the font on my PC. If i copy an icon from the character map to the title creator, it does not get displayed.
    If I do the same in Adobe Illustrator it works perfectly!
    Is there a way to use icon fonts in Adobe Premiere Pro? If not, how can i create title fastest in anothere Adobe App and import this title to Adobe Premiere Pro?
    Best regards!

    I checked both fonts and they both have got an .ttf version installed on my PC. I found out that for example the "heart icon" works fine in both fonts and is exactly the icon from the fonts character map. This might be because this icon can be created by typing "Alt" and "Num 3".
    The other icons still don't work. Might someone cross check the font (http://www.entypo.com/) with his own version of Premiere Pro? Maybe this helps.

  • Using Premiere Pro 6 - Capturing HDV .mpegs - These can't be seen by other programs like Compressor?

    I'm using XHA1's using a Canon HV20 to capture via FW to my IMAC with 10.7. I'm using Premiere Pro 6 and have been using Plural Eyes to do audio sync for the past year.
    About 6 months ago when I upgraded to Plural Eyes 3 (which they don't support video thumbnail preview for HDV) I noticed my MPEG files created in Premiere Pro could not be opened in Compressor to change to Apple Pro Res or do anything else with.
    So, what I would like to know is there a way of capturing to some other file format than .mpeg using an HDV preset in Premiere Pro? I do weddings every weekend with 3 cameras doing hour long ceremonies. So, audio sync is real important and being able to see those thumbnails would be great.
    Finally, when I export my XML to the desktop and bring it back into to Premiere Pro it "squeeshes" the HDV footage into 4:3 aspect ratio. Which I then create a new Sequence, select all, copy and paste and now I have 2 sequences to keep track of.
    I realize these are not earth shattering - but they would sure save precious hours over a weeks time while doing many repetive actions. Thanks for any advice.

    I have same experience/problem:
    - PluralEyes does not show HDV thumbnails
    - Windows version crashes (I tryed initial version when WIN support was added)
    - Premiere still needs XML export-import, so stereo audio becomes double mono audio
    I'm still using PluralEyes version 2, which is at least working:
    - use PluralEyes Connector to export from Premiere directly, that opens PE2 and asks you which timeline you want to sync
    - when done, exit PE and it will automatickly open Premiere, import project, and highlight added bins
    - grab highlighted bins and drag them to the "new folder" icon in project bin; that will create new bin and put all imported bins/clips in to that bin.
    - open synced project and copy all clips and paste them in original timeline (where unsorted clips vere).
    OPTIONAL: I do replace all clips than with original clips from project bin, just to get stereo audio back. After I replace all clips I delete added bins/clips, because Premiere duplicate all (it will add them every time you re-import clips, instead of knowing it is already imported). So just to keep premiere project file smaller, I remove doubled clips.
    If I need to sync just some files I use Premiere CC built in syncer. But PluralEyes does resolve harder to understand clips and Premiere solution is limited by how many clips is capable of syncing. And it does not work with several video/audio tracks, but only two. At least in my case, if I try to sync more than two clips it is grayed out.
    Yes, I'm dissapointed by PluralEyes3, because this was my main reason I bought licence, Only to now using version 2.
