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

Using GF 680GTX 4GB with Premiere Pro CS6

I am thinking in buying the GF 680GTX 4gb to use it with Premiere Pro CS6, but I've just discovered it's not compatible as a GPU Accelerator. Is there any way I can make it work with the program? Thanks in advance!

Yes... I run one and it works fine.

Using an external microphone with a Mac Pro Tower

I have a Mac Pro tower with OS 10.4.11 and I have a question regarding recording sound through an external microphone.
I own a microphone with a 1/4" jack and when I plug it into the designated input on the back of my tower, I'm not getting any sound. I've troubleshooted with a couple different microphones and none seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some sort of configuration that I have to do when using a mic?
Please help!

I'm sorry, but that's not really my area of expertise. If you are planning to use this for simple voice-recording you could try the Griffin iMic device which helps provide both pre-amplification and impedance matching between a mini-plug mic and a USB port for sound input. I've used it recording music from a boom-box to a MacBook.
The tech specs state that the audio line-level in port is:
Input impedance greater than 20,000 ohms
Input level: Max 2 V rms (+8.2 dbµ)
I would look for a mic that meets those specifications. MacSpeech.com has several microphone/headset recommendations for use with their Dictate and iListen voice recognition software. I would think that their suggestions would be useful.

How do I use an external microphone with iPhone Facetime?

Model of iphone doesn't matter to me. I have an Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 to use. I am specifically trying to use a wireless microphone set with Facetime so I can get better audio quality at a distance. Of course, I have a mount for my phone so it's pointed toward me. Can anyone figure out how I can bypass the internal microphones and use and external? I have already tried plugging into the jack on the phone, but no luck.
If there is some sort of adapter to plug into the Lightning port or 30pin that might bypass the external mics when using Facetime then I can go with that too.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello lizarose,
You might consider recording your video in the QuickTime Player application. The QuickTime Player application will allow you to control input sources for both your video and audio (allowing you to choose the Fast Track for audio and the iSight camera for video).
Once in QuickTime Player, choose 'New Movie Recording' from the File menu. In the resulting window, on the controls bar (near the record button), there will be a small triangle. This triangle will produce a menu allowing you to choose your Fast Track as the desired microphone.
Once the video is recorded and satisfactory, from the File menu, you can choose 'Export To,' then 'iMovie...' After the export process completes, open iMovie (close and re-open if necessary), and you should be prompted to import the video into iMovie. If, for some reason, iMovie is not an option, the video can be exported to the Desktop or the Movies folder (if exporting, choose 'Movie' for Format), then imported into iMovie via the File menu, 'Import,' 'Movies...'

Using an external HD with MacBook Pro

I just bought an xHD because I use a lot of memory. I have some questions that I hope you can help me answer:
- The HD comes with an ON and OFF switch. Is it an absolute must to switch on and off as I turn the Mac on and off?
- Is it a must to keep the power adaptor connected at all times? Can I just keep the USB connected - is that enough?
- Is it safe to have the HD on at all times? I want to save all my files from now on directly to the HD.
- What are the chances that the HD can be corrupted forever and I will lose all my files? These files are very important to me -- they are my life and career -- so is there anything I can do to make sure the HD doesn't become corrupted?
Thanks very much for your help!

It is not absolutely essential to turn off the drive. Most drives have a low power mode. But if you're turning your computer off, why not put the drive on a surge strip with a power switch. That way after you power off your computer, you then just turn off the switch. This is what I do for my external monitor, speakers, etc. Those power bricks still use some power so by switching off the surge strip, I completely turn off the power bricks as well.
Some surge strips have a "autosense" outlet that you plug your computer into. And when the strip senses that the computer is off, it turns off the other outlets. You may want to try one of those.
But if you leave the adapters and hard drive plugged in, thats fine.
- What are the chances that the HD can be corrupted forever and I will lose all my files? These files are very important to me -- they are my life and career -- so is there anything I can do to make sure the HD doesn't become corrupted?
All hard drives will eventually fail. ALL hard drives. There are things you can do to reduce the chances of data corruption, but you can never guarantee it will never be corrupted. But beyond that, you may accidentally delete or overwrite a file. No software or hardware failure there, that's "human failure."
Having only one copy of the data, you are very likely going to be upset at some point in the future. As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people: those that have lost data, and those that will lose data. So to protect any "important" documents, you need backups. Which means that if you're going to only store your documents on the external drive, you need another drive and make a duplicate.
If your internal hard drive is large enough for all your documents, then the simplest thing for you may be to use the external hard drive for Time Machine backups. So then when your internal drive dies, you can restore with the Time Machine backup. If you still want to have the documents on the external drive, then get a second external drive for Time Machine.

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 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.

How does one use an external microphone with the internal camera?

I want to use the internal camera because I don't have anything better but I want to use an external mic to record video and sound simultaneously, for a video blog. How does one accomplish this? I'm getting no help from the manual.

Try this. Connect your external mic, either through the audio line in port or, into a USB port if it is a USB mic and then go to System Preferences under the Apple and select the Sound icon under Hardware. Click on your mic shown in the list of input devices.
Hope that works for you.

Using an external microphone with a powerbook without webcam

I would think that using my powerbook as a phone would work really well, but I don't have a built-in microphone. Ae there any special features I should look for if I buy one? Or perhaps a special brand?
Thanks!

Okay, The 'Internal Built-in microphone' is selected in the sound department.
Processor speed 1.67 GHz, 1GB DDR RAM. Model? As far as I know it's a 15" Alum. Powerbook G4. Is there more to the model than that? It's almost 5 years old, time for a new one. But it's still working okay - knock on wood.
Anyhoo, I am going to try this. If it works, it's so much cheaper than a phone.
Thank you very much for the help, it's highly appreciated!!!
Kind regards,
Mildred.

Problems with Premiere Pro 2.0: sound lost after clip pasting

To integrate small projects to one bigger Project, it used to work well with Premiere Pro 1.5 in the following way: import small projects into the main sequence of the new project and, in parallel, copy the clips from the timeline of the small projects and past them into the timeline of the new project. However, I am encountering the following problems while trying to do the same thing with Premiere Pro 2.0:
·        Video and sound of every pasted clip becomes unlinked.
·        Although the sound was there (also shows in the wave view) right after the pasting and it can be rendered, but the audio Information gets lost as soon as I exit the new project (saved beforehand). If I re-open this new project, although the timeline shows all the pasted sound clips, but there is information in them - no sound (the wave views show only straight lines).
·        As well, some of the video and audio effect settings get lost (e.g. cross fading), but the effects such as brightness and contrast settings always remain.
·        At least one thing seems to be sure: the imported files themselves are ok. Newly created clips in the timeline from those imported files (dragged into the timeline) are fine - no information lost.
All tips are great helps. Thanks in advance.

I got it!
Though not described in the English HELP, but in the German HELP: I have to press the Shift and T Keys. It works in my case with the following steps:
1.     Mark the corresponding audio and video tracks
2.     Put CTI over the clip
3.     Press shift + T
4.     Double click the clip
5.     Eventually I have to repeat and press the keys shift +T again.
Thanks a lot once more for all of the hints and the detailed explanations. It is indeed a great help. I really appreciate it very much.

Mini DV decks to use with Premiere Pro?

I have a few questions regarding mini DV decks and Premiere Pro.
First, is there any Mini DV deck on the market right now that will actually NOT be useful with Premiere Pro?
Does anyone have a personal favorite?
Is there anything I should look out for when I'm looking for one?
I know these are very general questions, but I have no clue whatsoever, and the only way to start to get a clue is to ask. If there's anything else I should be aqskingg/looking for, please say so.

1. Not that I'm aware of.
2. Yes. Sony, SR11 in particular or Panasonic NV-DV2000.
3. Reliability, switchable between NTSC and PAL may be of interest

Using my JVC BR-DV3000E DVR with Premiere Pro CS5

I have been testing out the use of my JVC BR-DV3000E DVR (Digital Video Recorder) using a new PC running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Premiere Pro CS5. The connection is via the firewire cable supplied with the device. It worked fine on my original PC running Windows XP with Premiere Pro 1.5.1.
When I open the capture window in CS5 it shows the message "Device Offline" at the top of the capture window and all the transport controls are greyed out. I have played around with the settings but nothing seems to overcome the problem. I am trying to capture miniDV footage in SD. Has anyone come across this problem before on either the same device or similar and has anyone any suggestion on how to fil the problem please?

Try these to see if they work

I do know that the demo of Scenalyzer puts a mark in the video, so don't do anything real until you pay and enter the registration code
I don't know about the other program

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.
