Why are files going offline when exporting from premiere

Hi all
I've got a feature length documentary of 2 hours. All files are online but upon exporting from premiere via media encoder the finished file has 'media offline' on some shots. I have NO idea why this is happening. All clips are online on the timeline.
I'm exporting both blu-ray mpeg and dvd mpeg. The project is on an external hard drive. Can anyone help this is a nightmare!?
Will exporting via premiere pro direct fix this problem?
Thanks

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.

Why is my video pixelated when exporting from Premiere Pro?

Hi,
I'm a musician wanting to make some basic videos for YouTube. The videos will consist of an intro (logo, title etc) and audio playing over a still image which will last the duration of the song. I've edited the still image for the video within Photoshop (CS5.1). The image is of a woman screaming and is intentionally very dark. When I export this image from Photoshop, the quality is excellent. When I then import this image into Premiere Pro (CS5.5) and export as the finished video, the quality of the image is significantly reduced and is rather pixelated. After spending hours searching online and trying different settings to achieve the result I want, I've had no luck, and I'm now in desperate need of a professional opinion. Is it possible to get the same quality image within the exported video as I get from an exported Photoshop file?
Things I've tried:http://www.ashmathos.com/Musici
Photoshop - Exporting image using different file types - .tif , .PNG , .PSD etc
Premiere Pro - Exporting video using different formats - .FLV , Quicktime and MPEG4
- Changing the Capture format between DV and HDV
- Different presets - AVCHD, HDV, DV - PAL/NTSC etc
Both the image exported from Photoshop and the video are 1080p (square pixels)
An example of what I've explained can be found here:

(The video can be found below the image)
To any responders,
Thank you!

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

Try turning off GPU acceleration.

Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems. Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
Thanks for your help!

Why are my prints shrinking when exporting files from NEF to Tiff despite not ticking the re-size box!

When I export/convert my Nikon D7000 based raw files to Tiff files using Lightroom, in preparation for printing, the document size shrinks but the file size increases(see top image below)! This is despite not ticking the 'Resize to Fit' box on the export pop up.I know the file size will increase going from a raw to a Tiff file but I don't understand why this happens when the print size shrinks. This is even more puzzling if I export the same file as a raw file (+its related .xmp file) to another folder then save the file in Elements 9 as a Tiff folder since the size stays as it shoiuld be (see middle image below) I think it must be something to do with the way I am exporting directly to a Tiff format as if I export it as a .dng it still retains its size (see bottom image)
Tiff image exported from Lightroom as a Tiff file then just viewed in Elements 9
Raw file exported from Lightroom as a NEF raw file (with XMP) file then just saved as a Tiff in Elements 9
NEF raw image converted to .dng file through Lightroom & viewed in CS2

Sorry, I think I've obviously confused the issue by not comparing like with like so here are two versions of the exactly the same image, one a Tiff and one a dng. Both images are 6016 x 4016 pixels, 300 pixels per cm and were simply exported from Lightroom. If I were to simply print them without resizing, one image would be significantly larger than the other. Why does this happen is what I really want to know? If I was to resize the smaller version of the image to be the same size as the larger one, would there be any loss of detail in the print? I would expect there to be as CS2 would create data to fill in the gaps resulting in a file that was 859.2M in size.

Audio and video not synchronized when exporting from Premiere Pro CS6

Hi
We have made a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 that´s intended to be exported to DVD (it´s a weeding). We are working with NTSC DV Widescreen. The exporting is 720x480
We have 2 audio lines activated and sounding on this project.
The question is:
When exporting the entire video (the entire timeline sequece) using Adobe Media Encoder to formats like H.264 (NTSC DV Widescreen)... Quick Tile Movie or AVI without compression (we tested these formats) the 2 audio channels get unsynchronized from the video. The same problem occurs if we get a direct link of the timeline from Premiere to Encore.
And Inside Premiere Preview audio is preety correct.
Does anyone here are getting such problem?
Also..can I ask another question (as I´m not expert on video production)?. What´s the best format for our purpose? Export a video to be played to DVD (we record weedings, birthdays..social events). No problem the time to export. We´d like the best quality for output.
Thank you for the help
Gustavo.

Hi John and techkid123
We have 4 cameras here. 1 is Sony model HD1000 (since it works with Mini-DV cassete we need to capture the image via Firewire). 2 cameras are Sony HD2000 (it generates *.MPEG files if I remember well). And 1 camera is a Panasonic AG-DVC7 (it generates *.MTS files)
We start a new project using the Standard NTSC Widescreen 48Khz format. When we drag to the timeline for example the MTS file...Premiere ask us if we want to Keep and Change timeline to suit the file specification. Anyway we always have 1 or 2 camera files that has a yellow line over timeline.
But I renders correct...no problem to edit...and we had no problem with Premiere CS5.5 :/
We are downloading the latest update of Premiere. I´ll make some test and publish here if the problem persist.
Thank you a lot for the help
Gustavo.

Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap".
For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
Thank you!

Here is the solution: Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
shooternz wrote:
Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.

Why am I losing crop when exporting from LR (?)

Hi. I'm a newbie to LR and am stumped trying to figure something out (Yes, I've checked all through the forums). I've made some adjustments to a bunch of photos in LR3--contrast, brightness, etc. I've also cropped them to 5x7s. When I export as a JPEG to a separate folder on my Mac, or when I choose to edit in Photoshop using the "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" command, the photos show up with all the LR adjustments... EXCEPT for the crop. The photos are showing up in the Mac folder and in Photoshop as their original photo size, i.e. their size when I imported them into LR from my card.
What am I missing or doing wrong? When I export the photos, why aren't they showing up in a separate location or in Photoshop with the 5x7 crop that I performed in LR3?
thanks in advance .. this is driving me nuts.

I think more information is needed... Can you post a screen shot from LR and PS showing the crop differences?
As the previous poster said, size is not an issue here, don't worry that your 5"x7" crop comes out as 20x28" in PS, if that is your issue.
That said, however, if you've cropped an image, when you export it the image should look the same. Printing can be different, though, depending on how you are printing. So let's stick with export/crop to start with!
Please post a couple of sceen shots, one showing LR and the crop you picked, and then one in PS after "edit in PS with LR adustments" done.
Cheers!

Imported quicktime files lose resolution when exported from FCE

I am having trouble with quicktime files losing resolution after I add titles and transitions to them in FCE.
I'm doing some video morphing so I use different software to create the quicktime files, and then I import them into FCE in order to add titles and transitions, and then I want to export again as quicktime files.
The problem is, when I export the completed movies from FCE, the quicktime file section of the movies ends up being a much lower resolution than when I had imported it. I am using all the same compression settings throughout: Sorenson 3, Best, Frame rate 15 fps. The movies are 1001x751 in size.
Any ideas on how to get the movies to come out as crisp and hi res as the original clips?
Thanks.
FCE 2.0.3 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
FCE 2.0.3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Quicktime 7.0.4

Sorenson 3 is a web compression codec. You need to create your videos in DV NTSC at 720x480 at the 29.97fps. That the format that's specified in FCE.
All the best,
Tom

Error -43 file not found when exporting from QT Pro 7.5

I get the error -43 (a file could not be found) when trying to export into any format from within Quicktime Pro 7.5 (861) which i believe is the most current version. I also cannot perform a simple "save as" to save my video into another name, i dont get an error message for that one, but it just doesnt do anything. Im not sure if there is any point placing this on this forum, but maybe someone at Apple is interested in offering a little support...?

OK so i found the solution myself - seems apple programmers have been not doing their jobs properly, to get this working the file name of the video that i want exported cannot be anything other than in 8.3 format (like old MS-DOS) but it's more than that, even if you do have the file in 8.3 format it still cant be in a directory that has a name longer than 8 characters, or which has spaces in it etc. so in my case i copied my video to c:\temp and renamed all of them to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, now the export works... amazing I wonder how long i would have waited for apple support if i hadnt resolved this myself.

Why is video size different to original when exporting from Premiere Pro CS6 to Encore?

Hi there
My source files in Premiere Pro are 1920 x 1080.
When I export the sequence to Encore to burn to a DVD the size in the burned DVD changes to 720 x 576
In Encore project area I have these two entries
The encoding settings for the above two entries are
this (for the first entry above)...
and this (for the second entry above)...
It does not seem to be possible to change the encoding to 1920 x 1080 for the first enry and as such the video is being burned as 720x576.
How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong?

DVD is 720x576 you cannot change that.
If you want 1920x1080 which is HD you need to make a BluRay.
You can however make an AVCHD disk which is HD on DVD.
About 20 minutes will fit on a DVD and will only (but not all) BluRay players.

Why are the photos rotated when transfered from iPhone to PC??

I cant figure out why my photos, taken with my iPhone, come out rotated when I transfer them to my PC. Its not the biggest deal in the world, but it is really getting to me... Just one of those things i cant figure out how to fix... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A really easy fix in Windows XP, which I think will work fine in Vista if you can get to the right place. Open File Manager (my computer) and go to the folder with the photos, choose the thumbnail view, select and right click on photo files that are rotated sideways, you will see a rotate option on the right click menu - select it and the photos will rotate & sync correctly next time with a slight letterbox effect on your iphone. You may want to copy the folder first as the rotated photos will be clipped if you view them full screen on the PC.

"render.mov" file goes offline when roundtripping between FCP & STP

Hi there
I'm having an issue roundtripping between Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I have some clips which need to be de-noised, so I right click and select "Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project", do the de-noising with no issue, then save the file and return to Final Cut - your standard roundtripping experience.
However, when Final Cut Pro updates the file in the timeline, it brings up a file offline warning, stating that "~/file.stap:render.mov" is missing. I attempt to reconnect the file by opening the .stap package and creating a duplicate of the render.mov file in there, and reconnecting that, however that brings up the error "The file does not have enough audio tracks to reconnect to "file.stap" at time [time] in sequence [sequence]", and the file remains unconnected and silent in the timeline.
I am selecting the "include source audio" option when saving out of STP. It is also worth noting that I have managed to get this to work once this morning, but not since then. It was also not doing it last week, so I'm not sure what I did differently with that first file this morning.
Any help?
Cheers!

Hi there
Sorry to take so long to come back to this but this project had to spend a little bit of time on the backburner whilst I worked on some other projects.
Thanks for your reply Robert, however saving the STP project as a different .stap file and then attempting to reconnect to it brings out the same error.
This is the error window I get:
!http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4086/picture19r.png!
I've found that exporting the file as an AIFF and reconnecting to that seems to do the trick, however it is a bit of a roundabout way of doing things when you consider the way I'm trying to do it is the way I should be doing it, and a way that used to work. It's also a pain when you consider I have perhaps dozens of audio artifacts that need some form of audio post in Soundtrack Pro for this project alone.

Audio Levels are completely different when exported from Premiere to Audition?

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've adjusted the audio gain and volume levels on an interview I'm editing and it sounds pretty darn good in Premiere Pro. I exported the sequence to Audacity to do some hiss removal but quickly realized everything is different. The volume levels are way to high on lots of my clips? Why is this? I cannot really work with it in this current state because it would mean re-doing lots of work I've already done in Premiere. Any one got any ideas?
All the best
Kevin

Also, in the sequence the Edit in Audition option is greyed out? I can't round trip and work through the clips individually? Is there something I need to switch on or something?

Why no bit-rate control when encoding from Premiere CS4?

Recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3 on my HP-9300 workstation. When encoding for DVD from the Premiere CS4 timeline I've noticed that there are no options for adjusting bit-rate. This functionality was available for the PC on CS3, why is it missing from CS4? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
Spencer

PC.
Win 7.
When you export (File\Export\Multimedia Files) a window appear, and you click on Video (just under your encoding spec.).
A wider window appears and if you scroll down a bit you'll see your bitrate settings, of course you can modify them.
Ciao
