Working with video and photos in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi Folks.
I am a LONG TIME Adobe Premiere 5 user. NOT CS5, Adobe Premeire 5!! Yes, from the 1990's!! Recently I went back to college and taking advantage of the educational store, I treated myself to Adobe Master Collection CS6. I LOVE IT!!!
I'm just back from holidays where I snapped loads of photos at 14Mpx and video at 720p HiDef on my camera. I now want to compile a holiday video of my photos and videos telling the story of my holiday. I always do this and in Adobe Premeire 5 I had it nailed down. This is my first big outing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and while I'm making some good headway with it, there are so many differences that I have a few questions...
1.
My movie is being made at the resolution of my video footage, 1280 x 720. My photos are MUCH bigger then this. When I place a photo on the timeline, because it's much bigger then the video resolution I have to right click on it on the timeline and select Scale To Fit Screen or whatever the option is. This works great as the whole photo then shrinks down to fit within the video resolution. But it's a pain as I have LOADS of photos!! Is there a way to make photos default to fitting on the video resolution when I place them on the timeline? I don't want to resize them in Photoshop to fit the resolution as I plan to move and zoom into the photos as part of the video so I want to keep them at their 14Mpx size.
2.
When I place a photo and a video side by side in the timeline, why can't I place a Cross Disolve transition overlapping the two of them? The transition just overlaps the video start/end depending on where it is. If I put two photos side by side, the transition will overlap the top of them on the timeline. Haven't tried it with two videos yet.
That's it for now. Making slow but good headway. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Paul.

Start by downrezzing your photos in PS to a more manageable size. If you don't need pan and scan, just use 1280x720. You can batch resize them in PS and it will make the editing experience a lot better, putting less overhead on the system and resulting in a much snappier response.
Read about handles in the Help file for transitions. You need extra material at the end on a clip and the beginning of the next clip.

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

How to obtain Video and Non Video Serial Keys for Premiere Pro CS6

Discovered that certain codec presets (specifically the AVCHD codec) was not available for Premiere Pro CS6 installed under Creative Cloud for Enterprise.
Understand there are two different serial numbers for use in installation. One of these serial numbers is labeled "Video," and one is labeled "Non-Video.
Where are these serial numbers located? How are the serial numbers obtained?

Hello Ann,
Appreciate your reply..
Here is where some additional confusion arises (reference bottom part referring to Video Serial Keys) Adobe support said that these Video Keys are to be purchased from the reseller (which makes no sense)
Error "...a sequence that could not be opened"
So, if I understand from your replies and what I have read - it is of the belief that by de-activating and re-activating will address the issue of the missing codecs. Do you believe this to be correct as well?
Thank you

Video Playback Issue in Premiere Pro CS6

I am editing a video with 2 video tracks on top of each other. When I scrub through the timeline or jusy hit play in the timeline the top layer of video scales to about 50% and plays on top of the layer below it. But it didn't do that 2 days ago. Any ideas on what could cause that? I have attached a screen capture of what it looks like while playing back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
::Premiere Pro CS6 (v 6.0.5) and a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9 on a SSD, and 8GB RAM::

They are both 1280x720 but they were shot on 2 different cameras. The thing that is killing me is that I have done this exact same camera setup and editing before without this issue. And it only scales the top layer video down while scrubbing or playing back (spacebar). When the playhead is still it pops back to normal.

Slow motion and trailing in premiere pro cs6

attached is a sample of a clip edited years ago with liquid edition.
In liquid edition "timewarp editor" you could create slow motion together with trailing effect as it shows in the attached clip.
I wonder if it can be done in premiere pro cs6
thanks arikw

Well, you could do it manually if you wanted to. Just pile up a few tracks of the same clip and offset each one by a frame or two from the others. Then set the opacity to something low, like 25%, and see how that looks.
There may be an effect for it that I just am not familiar with.

Problem with video playback in adobe premiere pro CS4

Whevener i am to put something into my video. Via it be either A fraps recorded video or a video shot by my camera... i put it in the library and drag it to the stage. then when i play it in Premiere the video just stays as a still picture but the audio plays. It does this with 2 methods i tried (Fraps and my Photosmart M537 Camera). I asked My uncle (who had the same problems with CS3) and he said that hes pretty sure theres something wrong with the Codec. I think thats it because when i put in my video that i had recorded with Hypercam 2. it worked fine. Could anybody please help me?

1 - search the forum for fraps - many problems, few successes
2 - what CODEC is used for your Photosmart M537 Camera?
If that is a STILL camera which has a video mode, you most likely need to convert to DV AVI type 2 with 16bit 48khz sound

Working with Video and Audio...Please help (i am not a coder!)

Hey all. I am currently working on a project in Flash (CS3
action 2.0)
It is an animation and it includes a layer mask of a TV
screen, which shows a precut quicktime movie on the screen.
I am working with multiple scenes (11 to be exact) they are
all my different cut points.
The animation consists of 1st scene- VO (voice over) and BG
SFX. When I hit Apple+Enter this part plays sync'd up correctly.
However as the scenes progress on the sound gets out of whack.
Scene 2 consists of the quicktime movie (Video and Audio)
mask playing on the screen. All sound heard is a part of the .mov.
For this one the timing is also good.
Here is where it gets fluky. The next scene consists of a VO
and BG SFX. (and only those things) However, at this point of the
movie i hear the sound of the next .mov i have embedded in the file
(from scene 3). This is all happening well before that scene even
shows up in the preview.
I hope i explained it as clearly as possible. Anyone have any
ideas?! I would greatly appreciate it!
btw- i have set the frame rate to 29fps to match that of the
quicktime movies that are embedded.

Hi Brian, I don't mean to nit-pick but this is an
actionscript 3 forum, so you'd probably have better luck with the
general forum for non-AS3 questions.
There could be a couple of things that are causing a problem,
its hard to say without actually having your project on hand.
It almost sounds like your movie is taking longer to load, if
thats the case you could simply start the audio a little later in
the time line to sync it up.
I know you don't want coding solutions but you can probably
have flash "wait" for the movie to begin playing, and have that act
as the starting point for the audio.

Playback and render issues Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac

I have been having very "skippy" and sluggish issues when it comes to playback and editing. I have deleted all the old render files from my project and my hard drive, but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me? I'm not sure if it is a space issue or what, but I haven't had much of these problems before. I know it's not a sequence settings issue, so I am very confused. My footage all comes from a Maxell P2 Eseries card and my computer specs are:
iMac
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Working with 30p and 24p in premiere

I would like some advice on mixing 30fps footage with 24fps footage. Or, shooting all in 30p, but I would want the final video in 24p without any quality loss.
I have two shoot days for a short video I am making. The first day I shot an entire interview and tons of broll in 30fps. I have another day of shooting and was wondering what my best option would be: Either to keep shooting the rest in 30p and then putting all 30p footage on a 24p timeline? Or, finish my next shoot day with 24p (having both 30p and 24p footage) and then putting the mix footage on a 24 timeline? Or, is there too much quality now that will be lost, if I take 30p to 24p?
Suggestions? My ultimate goal is to have a cinematic look and feel.
This will be my first project in premiere.
Thanks!

My ultimate goal is to have a cinematic look and feel.
Then shoot in 24 fps.

Red video glitch at render and export in Premiere Pro CS6.

I keep on experiencing red screen glitches in my videos while viewing after render and when exported into any format. After replacing the clip with another, the same problem appears at the exact same time as before. The only way to get rid of the glitch is to build a completely new project. I have attached a picture of the glitch (the JPEG is green for some reason).
Any solutions?

Thank you for fast answer.
my version is 6.0.5. ( 001 (MC: 264587))
i use more kinds of cameras, but each provide different video file type.
this problem is with HC-V700 Panasonic, which is creating the AVCHD files.
i am talking about working video window, where you see the movie you cut and edit! (not the green/blue/red bar in timeline)
(after finishing the rendering, sometimes without it), and in case when i see it red, it is exported as well as RED screen .
and - on the other side : i can play such movie file, by double clicking on it, (from project files list, or from timeline ) where new window appears for playing that file.
thank you for your interest

Should I buy iMac or MacPro for working with video and dvd?

I currently have a Macbook which I am using to edit camcorder footage in iMovie and iDVD. I have spent the last three years travelling and living abroad and have consequently accumulated a large backlog of footage and am now trying to work through it all and get it on to DVD. When I bought my Macbook it was intended as a portable stop gap whilst living abroad with the intention of upgrading to an Apple desktop when home again. Given that I want to work on getting through many hours of camcorder footage, and also start getting to grips with computer based music production, would an iMac with plenty of ram be sufficient or would I be better off splashing out more and getting a MacPro plus screen?

Welcome 12frets56
I agree with the above recommendation, "Only you can decide how much you want to spend."
Tell us (if you don't mind) exactly how much you wish to spend so we can further assist in advising you on which system might best address your needs. Also, only you can decide how important portability is to you in terms of working from a laptop as opposed to a beefier system. Is portability a critical factor to your work, or not? If not, go with a full size custom tower.
Here's something else you may wish to consider prior to the actual purchase of any apple hardware / system configuration. Shop software first and foremost. Then built around that while addressing system requirements. In other words, don't place the cart before the horse (if you know what I mean).

Timecode video effect issue in Premiere Pro CS6?

Appears to be similar in description to the issue folks were having back in 5.5. Here's the details...
• New install, making the jump from FCP, first open of this PPCS6 install.
• Source footage brought in as DVCproHD 720p @ 60 fps. Imported into new bin and then onto timeline in sequence 1... works beautifully.
• New transparent video clip on track above footage, stretched to full production length. Applied video effect > timecode to transparent clip.
• I see the positioning crosshairs and darkened translucent box and the field indicator... but no rolling numbers, even after rendering.
Just need to make a TC burn of the footage and I've spent half a day trying to get the burn to work.
Any ideas?

Peter,
Thanks for your response, however, no avail, same issue. However, I think I may have found what this issue's root cause is... being a designer, I've far too many fonts installed (managed via Linotypes manager) with a conflict here and there, and I've had to use my customer's "helvetica" and other fonts on occasion. I activated a new account on my computer (nice and clean fonts & settings) fired up the same document in Premiere and BOOM rolling timecode appears. So with that solution in hand, my thought is somewhere I've damaged/lost the font in my base account that Premiere uses to generate timecode. I wish it was a setting I could change in the timecode video effect to choose what font is used... maybe you could pass that on to product development? Or do you know specifically what font it uses for the TC video effect?
Anyway, thanks for your reply... now I'm off to go see if I can fix the font issue in my base user account.
