Video is choppy when entered into Premiere

The clips play fine in window player but when I drop them into Premiere they become choppy. The Audio works fine its just the Video.. Please help!!

As well as what Hunt said, here is information on the "real world" requirements
This message has a really good graphic about requirements

This is about CS5... but my AVCHD editing is very smooth
My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to the computer I built... since the GTX 285 is no longer sold, I would now go with a GTX 460 or whatever is the current "best bang for the buck" - AND I would buy 4Gig-by-3Sticks memory to be able to expand from 12Gig to 24Gig if needed
For my home hobbyist, family movies (which means that I am not trying to recreate Star Wars with video effects or many layers) AVCHD editing is "as smooth as spreading warm butter on hot toast" (also the MP4 video from wife's Flip camera)
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)

  • Why is my 60i video pixelated/choppy when imported into Final Cut Pro X?

    I just bought a brand new Nikon D5200 to get into some indie film making. I put together a quick short the night I got it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN8OAprluOI) and filmed in 1080p at 24fps. It turned out great, footage looked great, was ready to test out the 1080 60i they put on it. Again, the footage looked great but only on the camera this time...Every time I go to import it into FCP X it comes up pixelated and choppy but if I'm just watching it in Quicktime its smooth and looks fantastic. Is there anything I can do to get my 60i footage imported into FCP X and stay true to the quality? The codec it's importing on is
    h.264 and when it gets into FCP X it switches over to it's true nature of 29.97i so i just don't know what the problem can be!!
    HELP PLEASE!!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Zach.
    How did your progressive footage wind up in an interlaced video? (Who is "they"?)
    Typically, one wants to edit as close as possible to what was shot. The cases where progressive needs to be converted to interlaced would typically be where one needed to match delivery requirements in broadcast. The conversion to interlaced is almost certainly going to introduce "issues".

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

    What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

    Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

  • AVI clip blackened/choppy when brought into Elements

    Hey All,
    I'm running APE4 and trying to import CamStudio AVI screen recordings into my project.  The AVIs were recorded at high quality (specs/codecs below) and appear crystal clear when played in any video player.  When brought into APE4, however, the video clip is mostly blacked (screenshot below) and choppy. 
    Can somebody please help?  A significant portion of my project needs to be these AVIs! 
    (recorded with CamStudio Lossless Codec v1.4, keyframes every 30 frames, capturing every 20ms, playback 50 frames/s)

    I do not use Camtasia footage, but hope to do so, when I upgrade computers and install PrPro CS5 (to produce tutorials), but that does not help here.
    I would also post to the Muvipix forum, as several subscribers to that forum also produce video tutorials, and might have much more to offer. Also, as they are on PrE, or older PrPro versions, the issue with the 64-bit TechSmith CODEC's will not come up. That is only a problem with PrPro CS5.
    Good luck, and wish that I had more to offer. If you do find some good discussions, please let me know, and I will link to those in that Tips & Tricks article, to help others in the future.

  • Why are my images created in Photshop cs6 blurry when insterted into Premiere Pro

    I create beuatiful still images in photoshop CS 6  to use in my videos.  They are high resoultion raw files that are reized to 16x9 ratio.  Once I put them into Premiere Pro they are still fine.  When I place them in my timeline and press play on my sequence they instally become blurry.
    Please advise?

    There could be a few things at play here.  But if, as you say, your images go blurry only when you press play, you might take a look at your playback resolution settings.  I'm not sure how the most current release works (I haven't installed it due to the several new bugs posted here), however in recent versions there is a separate quality setting for the program monitor when the video is stopped vs. when it is playing back.

  • Input video appears stretched when imported to Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm on a beginner level on Premiere Pro so please be gentle if this question is very basic. I'm trying to make a video that preserves the input video resolution exactly. My input video was an MP4 movie with resolution 1440 x 1080. It's an iPad screen recording using X-Mirage software. When I opened it normally in quicktime, it didn't seem stretched. However, when I imported the clip into Premiere, the clip appeared stretched. I checked the Properties of the clip and it turned out to have Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.3333, which meant the pixels were stretched. My output sequence was also stretched out because of this, even though the output indicated that the resolution is the same: 1440 x 1080. I tried to comply with "Clip Mismatch Warning" and the result was still a stretched version. Please help!

    Hi,
    In premiere pro, you will see sequence on the top. Click on sequence and from the drop down select sequence settings. Under sequence settings there would be a tab of pixel aspect ratio. Try and change it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 or hd anamorphic.
    Check if it makes any difference.
    Thank You

  • I am having trouble getting sound on video clips I have imported into Premiere Elements 10.

    I am having trouble getting sound when importing video clips into Premiere Elements 10.  Is someone able to offer me a solution as I have no idea what I have done to cause this to happen. 
    The clip has sound when opened with windows media player.
    Thank you

    Hi Steve,
    After reading everybody’s responses I am feeling a little out of my depth.  Being new to this I am having difficulty in understanding a lot of the information given to me and also in the information you require from me.  It appears that one thing I should never do is mix film from two different cameras.  I would really like to fix this one particular clip though as it holds an interview that was taken when leaving Coober Pedy and something that I don’t want to lose.
    I have today done some research on the camera that took the offending video clip.   It was a Samsung S85 and according to the Samsung website it uses MJPEG video format.
    Here are the specifications as per the Samsung website.

    I downloaded and installed Media Info and Morgan Multimedia MJPEG Codec V3.99.108 today.  Do I have to register it to get it to operate?  I read the documentation file that came with it hoping to find a clue as what I should do but I could not comprehend the information it contained.
    Thank you and other members who have responded to my plea for all the help you have given me.

  • Video is choppy when turning on presentation playbar

    Hello,
    I am having a technical issue involving my inserted .SWF
    files in my Breeze presentation. The files are choppy when I have
    the "Controlled by presentation playbar" setting turned on. Here is
    my presentation:
    http://breeze.thermo.com/vantagetest
    In the second slide of the presentation, you can see the
    video controlled by the playbar is choppy. The rest of the slides
    all have the option unchecked for "Controlled by presentation
    playbar." Because this option is unchecked, the files placed on
    these slides seem to work properly, but can't be controlled by the
    playbar on the presentation. Whenever I check the "Controlled by
    presentation playbar" option, that particular slide tends to end up
    being choppy upon publication.
    The source files were compressed from MPEG2 (Sony Vegas) to
    SWF (Sorenson, non VP6) in this presentation. I have also tried
    using a variety of source files, from AVI, WMV, and other types of
    MPEG files, none of them work properly.
    What is the cause of this problem? How can I resolve it?
    If anyone can assist me in figuring this thing out, I'd
    really appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Bump, can anyone help?

  • Video playback "choppy" when play 2 full HD videos together

    Hi,
    Recently I have a project that is to have 2 full HD video playback on 2 full HD resolution monitors. I am using flex in Air by having 2 windows opened when the program is launched, auto fullscreen on both monitor and then play videos. The videos are in f4v format. But the problem is the video playback is "choppy" when playback 2 full HD video together. My development PC is Corei7 920 with Geforce GTS250. This project will actually runs on Corei7 2600 with intel graphic chipset PC which I haven't test on the performance.
    How can I solve the "choppy" playback issue? Thanks.

    Flash Player full-screen video is an intensive process, but because it's running in a 32-bit environment it doesn't really help if the hardware has loads of extra RAM and multi-core processors. As you're using the decoupled version of the Acrobat Family, it only has an impact in terms of the decompression of the stream data when the annotation first activates.
    What is the original video spec?
    Are your rich media annotations set to deactivate automatically when the user moves to the next page? By default they deactivate only when the user context-clicks, so you can have a series of inactive-but-loaded instances fighting for attention.

  • Canon Vixia hfm31 videos (MTS) won't import into Premiere Pro CS5

    I have a lot of footage on a Canon Vixia HFM31 HD Camcorder. Yesterday I tried to import into Premiere and got an error message saying the MTS format was not supported.
    The clips DID import with iMovie.
    Do I need to purchase a converter from a 3rd party vendor to be able to get MTS footage from the Vixia into Premiere. Seems strange that it worked so seamlessly with iMovie.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Deanna

    When you open the New Sequence dialog, does it look like this:
    ...or do you have significantly fewer presets available? If you have less, your installation has been reverted to trial mode--this is a problem that occurs after updating Premiere. If so, the only way to get back to full operating status is to reinstall the software.
    Specifically, what you need to do is:
    Deactivate your installation (Help > Deactivate)
    Uninstall Premiere/Production Premium/Master Collection. Reboot.
    Download and run the Adobe CS5 Clean Tool. Reboot.
    Repeat step 3 at least once more, preferably two or three more times
    Reinstall and reactivate Premiere, and then update
    It's a pain, indeed, but it's the only way to get back up and running.
    If, however, you do have all the presets, give us some more detail on the files and how you're trying to import them.

  • Video and audio goes out of sync when imported into Premiere

    I have some videos ripped from some DVD that an acquaintance made, with an open source program called HandBrake, with the default "high profile" settings. When I play it both in VLC and in Quicktime, it plays just fine, but when I import it either in Premiere or in After effects, the video and audio goes out of sync (the video ran faster than the audio and when the video stops, the missing audio is trimmed).
    Video info according to Premiere (in Spanish but you may get the meaning).

    "HandBrake, these days, is almost entirely about H.264 video, aka MPEG-4 Part 10.  HandBrake is migrating to quality-based encoding."
    Hmmm.  I use HC Encoder to make my DVDs because it's the only free encoder I've found with the much more professional Constant Q encoding option.  But HC Encoder doesn't do HD sources for Blu-ray, so I've been wondering if I'd be stuck with the lame-*** consumer CBR and VBR options most encoders provide (including Adobe - hint, hint) when I eventually start working in HD.  This is a very interesting program, Handbrake.  I will have to check it out.

  • Missing Video from clip when bringing into timeline

    I'm currently editing a video and half-way through, I'm not sure what happened but now whenever I try to insert a clip from left-hand side clip selection into the timeline, there is a circle with a line through it when I try to place the video where my other video is. I can, however put it in the sound section - the sound works but no video. I've tried saving everything and restarting premiere, I've rendered the video, deleted the clips and put them into the selection, and even brought new clips from my computer in. Nothing has worked.
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC and I am on a Mac. Is there any other information I need to provide? I feel that I've somehow changed a setting but I'm not sure what I've done.

  • Files seems to skip frames when importing into Premiere Elements 10

    I am importing .mts files from a sdhc card. When trying to import the .MTS Files into Adobe Premiere Elements 10 it skip frames at clip transitions. When i place the files onto the timeline it looks like a 'jump' between clips, as if frames were missing. The same happens when I import .vob files from a dvd. A long seqence gets interrupted by a quick drop in audo and a quick jumpcut. How do i fix this ?

    As John says, matching your project settings to your video is vital to a successful editing experience. If you've got a match, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
    Also, AVCHD video often requires at least a quad core or i7 processor with a good load of RAM to edit. If you don't have a powerful, well-tuned system, it could well be that the skipping you're seeing is just your computer unable to process the video data fast enought.
    How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? What OS are you running?

  • Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

    I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

    Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
    Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
    DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
    Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
    Will I need to do anything to those as well?
    Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?
