Why doesn't Premier Pro CS6 accept m2P videos?

I have an m2P video that I can import directly into Premier Pro CS4 with no problem and work on but when I import it into Premier Pro CS6 I get the error:
"There was an error decompressing audio or video"
I've tried changing the extension to mp2 and mpg but the result is the same. I've tried converting the file to mpg with TMPGE, excluding the audio, and the result is still the same. There seems to be something is some header that stops Premier Pro CS6 from accepting this file. Another m2P video I have behaves the same way.
Does anyone know what this might be or how I can find it?
Thanks
Steve

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

Premier Pro CS6 not displaying Video

Premier Pro CS6 is not displaying video. Loads and plays clips with sound and all monitors work but no video displayed, installs them in timeline, exports - just does not display video in program or preview monitors nor will it scrub in the thumbnails (static images only). Just started all of a sudden for no apparent reason. All valid file types, even previous projects that worked fine before display no video now.

If you are on Windows it HAS been known to happen that a Windows Update will cause a video driver to have problems (more information when you ask a question is a good thing http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 so people will be able to help)
It is "more usual" to need a video driver update, so good to know that a simple un/reinstall worked for you

Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality (appear fuzzy / blurry / lo res) in premier pro cs6?

Premier Pro CS6 Question.....
Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality when imported to premier pro cs6?
I have still shots that have text and they look clean and crisp when I view them in photoshop. Why does the photo and text look so fuzzy or blurry and not crisp when I import the still files into premier pro cs6?
Is there a setting in premier that I am setting incorrectly? That is possibly blurring my photos and text? The problem appears in both my PR file and my final exported work.
Is there a way to retain the quality of the image and text that I see in my photoshop file?
Note: I am not enlarging anything after import, I am reducing though, but I would think this would only make images and text sharper????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im getting tired of doing all my work and delivering blurry / fuzzy / what appears to be low resolution images and text when I complete my project.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Jim, thanks so much again for chiming in to my questions.
Specs of Stills - Photoshop file - 677 x 1014px, 150dpi, 1.96M file size, 150dpi, this is the size of the file I originally imported and reduced to approx. 65%, the one sized properly in photoshop imported fuzzier.
Sequence Settings -
Export Settings, FLV, attached are settings.
1. EXPORT FILTER SETTINGS...
2. EXPORT FORMAT SETTINGS
3. EXPORT VIDEO SETTINGS
FINAL PROJECT IS DELIVERY OF FLV FILE TO EMBED IN INTERACTIVE FILE. Ive tried different settings for different jobs, just feel all text and photos fall apart when pulled into and exported to FLV for embedding final.
Ive done several slideshow and video's in premier pro, have so much to learn still, Im thinking I keep diving into my projects and possibly making a total mess out of my settings for the desired final destination? is this possible?

Can This Laptop Be Used For Premier Pro CS6?

Developed an interest in learning to edit video but have become confused in reading all of the posts about what is the true minimum hardware requirement/setup, as compared to what is listed as System Requirements by Adobe. Probably best to start with my initial goals.
Here is what I was looking at doing as this journey begins:
Purchased Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Classroom in a Book(CIB) after reading a review it would be a better start than Premier Pro CIB, which I plan on getting, if one has no experience in this field. During research feel that I would like to become a subscriber to the Creative Cloud as there are a number of products I would like to learn and use. Basically, I am hopeful that I may use my current laptop for the beginning of my education and further down the road look at getting a more powerful system as knowledge/skills/requirements increase. Initial video I wouild like to work with is that received from family members smart phones and will be looking at purchasing a simple video camera for short interviews and brief presentantions. Will likely desire uploading some completed projects to the web.
Current Hardware:
Laptop: Asus N53SV
OS: Windows 7 64bit
CPU: Intel i7-2670QM 2.2GHz Cores=4 Threads=8
L3 Cache: 6mb
RAM: 6MB
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1024 MB
OpenGL: 3.1.0
Display: 1920 X 1080
Drives: (1) HD, Seagate 500GB @ 7,200 RPM partitioned as C: 186GB with OS and programs, D: 254GB some documents
E: Optical DVD-RW
F: USB 3 connected 2 TB Seagate GoFlex External HD
If this laptop can be used with current hardware, I wouild sincerely appreciate any suggestions for how to best utilize what is available to begin learning Premier Pro CS6. As I will not have any time schedules that will have to be met I can accept that this may not be the ideal system. Just hoping it can be a start.
If any further information is required about the laptop please let me know and Thank You for your time with this question.

That's not a bad setup at all to get started with small projects.
We all have different budgets and patience. You may be OK with what you have. And if it seems too sluggish - your rig would be for me , the following would help Premiere Pro performance:
- increase RAM to 16GB (about $140 per eBay pricing from a seller with high ratings a few minutes ago)
- add another drive; my favorite choice with your laptop would be a Seagate Momentus 750gb drive installed in a NEWmodeUS.com optical bay caddy (slips into your laptop)
Regards,
Jim
Exactly what I have done, and it is great.
You can get the caddy here:

I had this setup for my old HP and have a caddy ready to install for my new Dell Precision as well. You can either get an external house for your DVD drive, or get an external one - they are quite cheap.

My adobe premier pro CS6 will not install

Hi there
I am trying to install the adobe premier pro cs6 trial version, when I go through the set up, it say's that Adobe Encore CS6 and Adobe Premier pro CS6 do not meet os requirments, 64 bit os recommended.
I really don't have much idea what that means or if there is a way around it etc. is there another version of the trial that doesn't require 64 bit? My computer is operating a 32 bit system.
thanks
Bex

Unfortunately not.
Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6 are 64 bit only. They will not run on your machine.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/premiere/faq.html#64bit-support
You could have a look at Premiere Elements which runs on 32 bit and 64 bit.

Premier Pro CS6-Capturing Footage, Serious Surprising Issue

I started editing using final cut pro 7 and i'm making the transition into the adobe video world. Premier is very simlar to final cut, but I think premier is much better as long as you can find your self around.
I chose to capture vhs tapes through a fw 400 to a 800 into my mac with premier instead of final cut. The reason for this is, i noticed that premier had a much better proc amp luma to it then fial cut did. Meaning the capture window in final cut 7 was much darker then in premier pro cs6.
The Final cut capture window is on the left and the premier capture window is on the right.
Now this is a very good thing and this is why i chose to capture in premier instead. Does premier have capture presets like final cut does? I'm captureing vhs tapes that are 2 hours long and average to about 30/35 gigs a pop cuase their .movs. Is there anyway to capture as a mpg2 and call it a day? Thank you.

As far as I know, PPro (both Win and Mac) capture digitised tapes into the DV AVI codec... on Win it is AVI and Mac it is MOV... but the internals are the same
What is your digitising device... and does it come with it's own software?
But, do be aware that the DV AVI codec, at about 13Gig per hour, is as good as it gets for editing
If you do use other software to capture to a compressed format, you lose a great deal of the original picture quality
I hope this old link is still active... Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html

I've Got The HDV Capture BLUES From Premier Pro CS6

I am attempting to capture HDV footage from my Sony Z1U camera in Premier Pro CS6. When I do so, the file type saved in my designated location is an MP3 file, which I know is not correct. The captured footage never gets into the program, it just remains on the disk as an MP3 file type. Then when I try to Import that file into Premier Pro from the disk, I get an error message saying "There Was An Error Decompressing Audio or Video" Does anybody know why a captured HDV file would wind up on the disk with an MP3 type name?
Thx.

You scared me a bit. I upgraded from Premiere Pro CS3 to Premiere Pro CS6 and I haven't had a need to capture anything yet. So, while I do like using HDVSplit, I thought I would try capturing from my Sony HDR-FX1 just to see what happens.
I turned off the PC, got out the camera, connected the Firewire cable (I blew the firewire port on this camera once. I will NOT do it again.)
I started a new project. Now, the first thing I noticed was that the default is to capture DV. So I changed that to HDV. See the image below:
After that, it was a simple matter to capture the HDV. I dropped it on the "New Item" button to create a new sequence with the exact right properties. Then I trimmed it a little on each end. It was so cool that there was no line above the clip, meaning that no rendering was required. It never used to be so easy. I then used the Vimeo 1080 60p preset and uploaded it to Vimeo. No video or audio effects. This is how it was recorded.
So, since it worked for me, let's see if we can get enough details from the people having trouble and see if it is user error or a bug I didn't see.
Oh, just in case there are any Disney World fans, or anyone who just loves Christmas lights, here is what I captured.

Audition Not launching within Premier Pro CS6

Having trouble launching audition within premier pro CS6. The option is available and when the audio clip is selected and executed, a render and replace flag appears and nothing else happens. Anyone know why this is happening? some help on this subject would be appeciated.

Be sure the sesx file type is associated with Audition in the File Associations.

Import AVCHD video footage into Premier Pro CS6 - MAC - AUDIO MISSING!

Hi,
Ive been attempting to import AVCHD video footage captured on a Panasonic into Premier Pro CS6 on my MacPro. I've tried this from the camera and after copying the entire folder to my desktop. The footage is there, but has no audio! I have read loads, forums, advice, YouTube vids and Adobe manuals, trouble shooting and help, but found no simple answer to this simple issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks too Jeff. Sandeep's post is a simple redirect to a post on Adobe which naturally I've already read before turning to the forum. The link then sends you to another link! Info. is too light on specifics, doesn't help! I have 6.0.5 as downloaded from Adobe... no joy! All remains the same, picture but still no audio! Maybe a compatibility issue with Panasonic's HC X900... but Panasonic's website is as light on info. as Adobe. I'm off to the shop to buy FCP or Avid.

Premier Pro CS6 and MOD files.

I am thinking of getting Premier Pro CS6 and wonder if it will work with MOD files. My Panasonic camcorder records in MOD format. I notice that my Media Encoder 5.5 won't work with MOD file so I don't want to spend $$$$ on Premier Pro only to find out it doesn't work tih MOD files either.
Thanks

Premiere Pro does not support mod files.
Some are lucky by just changing the extention.
Others have to convert:

However Premiere Elements does support mod files.

Is Premier Pro CS6 as good as the newest version

Due to my operating system being Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it looks like i must choose Premier Pro CS6. is this an acceptable platform, or should I wait to get a newer computer and get the latest version. I would like to keep my older IMac, as it is bulletproof. Also, if I choose an older version of PPro, does is still cost as much as the latest version?

Hi Funhog,
This is almost like asking the question: "What's the best camera?"
The real answer is it depends what you are shooting and where you want to publish your videos, and what are your aspirations in video.
I was a CS4, then CS5.5 user - hated CS6 - but now will be moving to CC 2014 principally because I am providing video for broadcast and shooting XAVC Intra. I tried other NLEs from the usual suspects and quiet honestly they are based on film editing logisitics (IMHO). CC 2014 is geared to my past experience in editing and my current needs - AS-11 DPP delivery for example. I also note that CC 2014 is now a fully 64-bit platform - and it's noticeable in the performance.
If I was publishing to DVDs and the web then CS5.5 (and CS6) would do the job. But if you are shooting say with the new Sony PXW FS7 (as I do now) then you would have issues with workflow in those earlier versions. It depends what you are shooting and with what codecs.
I'm a PC user not MAC, but that really should not matter. I doubt whether you will still be able to get a CS5.5 version, but you may get lucky. The CS6 version looks a higher price if you did qualify for the upgrade option. But you alone need to make that decision as to what you want from your edit and post system, and to what you want to aspire to in your video productions.

Laptop for Premier Pro CS6 (and CS6 suite)

We are wanting to either purchase the CS6 suite which includes Premier Pro CS6, or get a subscription to the Creative Cloud. Our quandary is that I need a new computer to get up to specs. Although building a desktop would probably be ideal, I would like to get a laptop that I can use for other purposes during the work day, and for editing short videos when needed (5-20 minutes in length). Can someone school us on the feasibility of using either a new macbook pro (i7, 8GB Ram, 1GB video) or a new Dell XPS 15z (Win7, i5, 8GB RAM, 1GB GT 525M video) and if anyone is successfully doing this... or if anyone tried it unsuccessfully. Can Premier Pro, specifically, run on these laptops with no problem? Do i need to use additional harddrives (oerhaps a thunderbold external)?
Thank you!

....consensus on this forum is to STAY AWAY from Dell and Mac......editing today's demanding codecs requires a beefy, well thought out laptop suited for the task. Some beefy gaming laptops from Asus have the necessary components, along with MSI , Sager and others,
ADK has laptops set up and tested specifically for video editing. Read the current and previous posts here on this forum regarding your question....it has been asked innumerable times before!! Before you "jump in the water" there is much to learn on this forum regarding the technical requirements to successfully edit digital video using PPro....especially from Harm Millard, Bill Gehrke, Eric and Scott at ADK, and others.

Premier Pro CS6, Classroom in a Book....Lesson Files, Help Please.

Hello everyone, new guy on the block here and having problems.
I recently purchased Premier Pro CS6 software and the accompanying book mentioned in my posts title above.
I am trying to work through the book and the associated projects but keep coming up against the dreaded Offline Files problem....that has seemingly been the bug bear of others in the past.
I have read a few posts here of others experiencing the same but still can't seem to solve the problem and it's really starting to bug me.
I downloaded the DVD contents and saved them to my HD in my Adobe CS6 folder as instructed in the book but no media files transfer over during the import into CS6, the shells/wrappers are there but no content, each wrapper say's that the Media is Offline.
So I then go to the location where the files are saved to which is - Libraries, Documents, Adobe, Premier Pro, 6.0, Lessons and then go to the corresponding Lesson file and dbl click and upon opening there seems to be nothing there ??
Can anyone give some guidance as to where I'm going wrong ?
Many Thanks & Best Wishes
Harmudge.

Hi Jeff, the actual media content is not available in the Project panel although the wrappers of the files are showing with a question mark in the thumbnail.
I then went to the media browser and located the file 16B_SER5...which I was using incidently because the question marked thumbnail icon was present for that file in the Project Panel, and imported....it copied the file/footage over but not into the already present wrapper, it created another thumbnail....should that happen like that or should it fill the already present wrapper ?
So I then try and link the playable media file by right clicking on the thumbnail, but that option is greyed out in the menu for that file.
I then checked the un-playable media file that I mention above and the option to link media is available for that so I tried that but seem to get nowhere.
I get a windows explorer box come up and then go to my Adobe files in my documents (where the DVD contents are) and go to Lessons, Assets, Double Identity, P2 Media, Contents....I then have 6 folders to choose from, I have looked in the Clip file and it is blank until I change the file type selection that is near the bottom right in the explorer window from P2 Movie (mxf) to all files and then there are files available but the files are ending XML and XMP.
I have then checked the contents of the Video folder and there were MXF files available under the P2 Movie selection but the file numbers do not correspond with the files that I am looking for ?
I then change the Windows Explorer file search to All Files and files with corresponding file numbers are now present but the files are ending in .pek, I then select the 16B_SER5 48000.pek file and then get an Adobe dialogue box come up informing me that File Import Failure, file format not supported.
I hope you were able to follow what I have been trying to explain above, I'm sure it's fairly evident that I am not a computer whizz kid so if you require me to take screenshots etc to clarify what I'm doing I can manage that....lol.
