XML Premiere 5.5 to FCP7 Import problem

I am working with an outside editor who did some edits for my company in Premiere 5.5.
They're tryng to supply me with a FCP7 compatible XML file for import into FCP7.
Well I am able to convert the XML file in FCP7, but not all of the info is coming thropugh properly.
The edit is a simple one...
2 camera A/B talking head
1 Main Audio track whihc is done as 4 audio (2 stereo) tracks in Premiere.
The edit supplied to me comes through with the video being fine on 2 tracks.
However, the audio track does not even show up in my timeline. However it's there on his Premiere timeline.
Any idea what might be the problem?
I have supplied pics of both timelines for reference.
One is his Premiere timeline, the other is my FCP7 timeline after XML conversion.
Premiere timeline with 2 videos tracks and 4 audio tracks.
FCP7 timeline with 2 video tracks and only 2 audio tacks sowing up.
Where is the other audio track.

Jeff,
Thanks for your advice, the use of the UT Video Codec Suite has been exceedingly helpful in capturing video. It has made 1080i capture much simpler.
Unfortunately it has not solved my 720p import problems.
I have played around with several different configurations. If I record 720p at 29.97 frames, the whole video imports without difficulty, but the sound is messed up. But when I try to import 720p video at 59.94 frames, Premiere Pro will only import the first couple of minutes of the video if the video is longer than 7 minutes.
If you have any further advice, I would appreciate it.

DVD-101 Sony Handycam importing problems?

I have the mpeg2 plug-in from Apple, and the free Streamclipicon.mpeg, but I still have a problem importing all the video clips. I imported a movie from my camcorder and got only three short clips? One clip was of all the scenes as it appears on the playback of the camcorder. The other two short clips were about 5 seconds each. How do I get all the clips in imovie?

Adobe wouldn't help me on the phone, as I haven't got a support contract. Perfectly rational by them, just stupid.
I've asked my software supplier to forward on some questions and a link to this thread to Adobe support and they should be looking at it soon.
Also, there is another possible solution that might help those of you with full versions.
There is some advice here on one way to give Premiere Pro the ability to import MPEGs.
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html
This is very attractive to me - as I know the AC3 audio codec is used by my MPEG files and it sounds like it could be a solution. Of course, I've tried it, and I still get the same error.
I ran the files through TSRemux and got the same 'file format not supported' error message.
I've also been trying to import a .mov file into the trial version and I get the same error. Jim, would you be able to help me by saying in which other ways the trial version is limited?

Annoyed with JVC/Final Cut Pro import problem; will they ever fix this?

Annoyed with Final Cut Pro JVC import problem; will they ever fix this?
I've shot footage on JVC GY-HD111E in the UK in 720p/25p PAL mode.
I'm trying to import lots of short clips (average 10 seconds) into Final Cut Pro (latest version with 720p/25p support) with a new Mac Pro maxed out with ram and 3 extra internal HDs.
Problem is, on a scene-break i.e. pause/stop, Final Cut detects this and creates a new clip, but it takes about 5 seconds to 'searching for media" before it starts the new clip. Because some clips are only very short, this 5 second delay sometimes means I only get the final few frames of a clip, rather than the entire 5 seconds or so of it.
JVC UK are blaming Apple and are saying it is up to them to fix it as Premiere and Edius does not have this problem.
However, Symbiosis in the UK (who do HD-Connect box) say that the JVC ProHD cameras do not wrap the shots up properly at the end, they are kind of left open and this creates problems on scene-breaks.
I've tried turning off the "create new clip on timecode break" etc, but it does not make any difference, when I do this it simply quits capturing on a scene break. Besides I have about 300 cutaways like this and I don't want to spend the rest of the year breaking them up on the timeline as this would be a futile and long workflow.
I'm importing and working on a native HDV 720p/25p timeline and this is the way I want to work. I've already imported and edited 4 hours of footage, but these 4 hours were easy as all 4 tapes had no start/stop points, they were recorded continuously from beginning to end of tape for 64 minutes each time so importing was no problem; 1 clip per tape.
But now I've come to my 5 tapes containing hundreds of cutaways I'm kind of screwed and need some advise on how I can import them natively in HDV without losing this 5 seconds off the beginning of each clip whilst FCP searches for the media each time.
I've been told this issue is definately with FCP, any ideas how I can get around this?

I haven't heard of this JVC/FCP problem, so I can't comment on it. However, whoever shot the cutaways didn't do you, the editor, any favors.
I've been doing video since 1984, and I've got to say, anyone who shoots a scene that is only 5 or 6 seconds long on tape is making a huge mistake, and it's been that way since the beginning of computerized editing in the late 70s.
Shoot at least 5 seconds of pre-roll before the shot begins, then roll tape for at least 5 seconds after you've got the shot. That's the protocol I've followed for 22 years now. Tape is cheap, edit suite time isn't.
But laying down only 5 to 6 seconds for a scene is wrong, IMO.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media. Every time. Driving me crazy.
It crashes as soon as the Windows dialogue box comes up.
Does it in new projects and in a project I created and imported into just fine 2 days ago.
Have rebooted.
Running Windows 8.1 on Samsung Series 5 ultrabook Intel i5 - not too sure what else to say about other settings:
I did have a problem the other day when Windows was crashing when browing a large folder of largish images and video clips but it went away when I put images and videos in separate folders.

Thanks for reply.
Point taken but I've been using it for over a year for simple edits (5 min films) in PPCC just fine. Can't even do what I could do the other night now.
Simple folder with a few jpegs and movies in it. In fact it just crashes before I even got to another folder.

AE CS4 - Import problem (JVC Everio clips in 16:9)

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this because it is driving me crazy I got a JVC Everio "GZ-MG750" camcorder some months ago and I must say I first had problems with "Export" (JVC to PC) because when you have recorded the clips in 16:9, if you don't use what is called sdcopy.exe, clips in your PC become 4:3.This [sdcopy] allows you to keep the original aspect ratio.
Apart from that... the problem is, I am starting to learn After Effects CS4 and I have "Import" problems and I have gotten stuck on this. My clips are supposed to be 16:9, but when I import them, they become 4:3, and if I type that my composition must be 16:9, etc. it works but not with the clips. The clips are still in 4:3 and I can't understand it, because after all, they shouldn't be 4:3 anymore since I made the change of aspect ratio with sdcopy. It does work in Premiere CS4 (the video imported is 16:9) but not with After Effects CS4.
What's happening here? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Marta

At the bottom of the Comp Window you'll find the pixel aspect ratio compensation toggle switch. Toggled on, everything's in the proper screen aspect ratio, but the edges look stair-steppy, expecially text & graphics. Toggled off, everything is smooth but not in the proper screen aspect ratio.
When rendered, everything will be in the same screen and pixel aspect ratios as your comp, AND it will be nice & smooth.

Premiere Pro CS4 Crashes When Importing HD Clips

I've used Camtasia forever but recently decided to "upgrade" to Premiere Pro when I got my new Macbook. Not being familiar with Premiere at all, I thought I would play with it with a few short clips. I have HD footage of my martial arts class which I shot with my Canon Vixia HG20 and copied it to my Macbook. However, when I imported a few clips into Premiere Pro and try to play it, it hangs. It will play one or two clips and then it stops responding after that.
All in all, it's only about 2 minutes of footage that I've put into Premiere Pro. I have no problems putting the clips into the Timeline but when I try to preview the clips (either in the source monitor or the program monitor windows), Premiere Pro gives me the little rainbow pinwheel and 20 minutes later, it's still spinning around. I bought a 500Gb external hard drive to use as the scratch disk because I thought maybe it was a space issue having everything on my Macbook but I still get the pinwheel. My only solution is to force quit the program.
I have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro on OS X (10.5.6) with 4GB of memory, GeForce 8600M graphics card, and 200GB hard drive. I've read about a of of the crashes on here but didn't really see anything similar to my situation. Any ideas? I spent a lot on Premiere Pro and am not willing to give up on it quite yet.
Please and thank you!

17 Mbps is still at the high end, but IMHO they should ultimately work.
Very often with AVCHD, you have to play a clip until it freezes, then wait. If you monitor CPU usage during the waiting time, you'll see that it is quite active. The process using the CPU is the ImporterProcessServer, which has to do some kind of magical stuff to the AVCHD clips in order for them to play and scrub in Pr. Once the IPS is done, you should be able to scrub and play the clip just fine.
Usually you only have to do this once per clip, but sometimes more. Sometimes the work that the IPS does carries over between Pr sessions, and sometimes it doesn't.
Smaller frame sizes and lower bit rates in AVCHD video helps make the editing experience in Pr much better.
My hope is that the upcoming 4.1 update will address some of these AVCHD issues.

Premiere Pro CS4 and Canon 600d problems

Hello,
Recently I've been having a few recourring problems when trying to edit footage I captured on my Canon 600D on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
The footage shot on the Canon is 1920x1080 at 24fps, when I create a setup preset for these settings in Premiere the clips appear to import absolutely fine. The setup Ive created is shown in the screenshot below.
The problems start when I place the clip on the sequence and render it, once the clip renders the playback in the program/timeline preview window goes all weird and doesn't play the clip properly. Shown in the screenshot below.
First of all I thought this might just be a playback error but when I try to export it as a video file it says error and closes down. This is extremely irratating so i wondered if anyone would be able to offer me a soloution. I have a feeling it may be my setup preset but if so would someone be able to tell me the correct way to set it up for a canon 600d camera because whenever I try a preset found within premiere it exports the video at 720 resolution and very low quality.
Thanks very much for whoever replies, I appreciate it very much
Mike

Ahhh okay that sucks, is there anyway to convert the footage that I already have without drastically reducing the quality as I want my film to be the best quality that is possible?

and when i extract video and ac3 file from 1.avi with avidemux then i can import them separately. but after importing audio and video in timeline audio length not same with video.
the length difference in the image:

Hi,
I don't have GraphicConverter and since it is shareware and money is tight right now, I tried to find a freeware image converter on the internet for the Mac. I didn't. I remembered that I have Photoshop Essentials. It came with my Canon scanner. I installed it and looked to see if it had a converter of some type in it. I saw that you can import a file, work with it and then save it to what you want. I thought that I had already done that with the Nikon files. Anyway, I tested it. I imported one of the Nikon images into it and saved it as a jpeg- even though it appeared to be a jpeg already. Bingo! It worked. It imported into my video editing program. I selected two other files from the Nikon shots and did the same thing. I change the name of the picture and then save it as a jpeg in Photoshop Essentials 2. The two files imported into my video editing program. I then went to the two original Nikon files that I had imported into Photoshop Essentials 2 and changed the names of them- leaving the jpeg extension on to see if they would import, they did not. So, as you said, there must by some kind of Metadata with those files. Bringing them into Photoshop Essentials 2 and saving them as jpegs fixed it. Because of what happened, I just went through my approx. 4,000 pictures and selected about 1,400 again for a new family DVD. I created folder and exported 1,446 jpeg pictures into it. Then I opened by video editing program and imported the folder. All 1,446 pictures came in. I didn't try it with FCE and iMovie, since I the program I regularly use is Adobe Premiere. I may try it later, but I am pretty confident that if the pictures can be imported into Adobe Premiere, they can also be imported into FCE and iMovie(unless there is a number limit.)
All this has taken place over several days. I am glad that it is figured out.
Thank you for the help.

CS5 Windows import problems (ppj, avi)

I have the CS5 Master Collection installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit laptop. I have some old Premiere 6.5 projects that I wanted to open/import.
When I first tried this, I could open the ppj files and make prproj files from them, either by double-clicking on the ppj file name or by importing the ppj in to a new prproj, but the video files within the ppj didn't import properly. Premiere Pro CS5 said, "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." These video files are paired avi and wav files captured from mini-DV tape using Premiere 6.5 under Windows XP Pro. A sample check of one of my avi files with GSpot includes these results:
The codec section says (among other stuff)
     codec: dvsd
     Name: DVC/DV Video
     Status: Codec(s) are Installed
The container section says
     File length correct

When I tried more recently, Premiere CS5 does not include ppj under "All Supported Media" in the import dialogue box. I can open Bridge from Premiere and browse to a ppj file, but when I double-click the file name, I get the error message, "File format not supported." If I try to open the ppj directly rather than import it, instead of trying to run a conversion as it did initially, Premiere CS5 gives me the welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro popup without actually doing anything w/ the ppj. I'm not sure whether a Premiere update ran between the first and more recent attempts to import ppj files, but I now have version 5.0.3.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to make this work?
Thanks.

I had the same problem with an old ppj project.
The option to import was available pbut CS5 would crash when import was invoked.
There was an error message about video filters.
Adobe help line, over the course of an hour, tried to make me believe that this was related to the 64 bit vs 32 bit issues.
Then I pointed out to them that the application was able to read the .avi file and play it if I imported it by itself without trying to import the whole project.
I also mentioned that deleting the previews made no difference.
At the end of the hour, they agreed to look at the project file. This was two weeks ago and this is the last time that I heard from them. When I ftp'ed the file to them they confirmed the following which I also told them; this is a separate problem from the import problem, but it is related to the support of this software. The automatic updates to the program cause Adobe .ppj import options to disappear from the import menu file type list. Again, they confirmed this and I had to unistall the whole package, reinstall Adobe, and not accept any updates.
I have yet to hear from Adobe on this. I suspect this is such a rare need that they feel they don't need to support it, but this being the case I think the doofs ought to take the feature out of the advertising list, or provide a stand alone utility to translate the text .ppj into a .prpj compatible project. It's not very difficult.
The most disturbing thing is that they obviously fail to do a thorough regression test prior to publishing updates. Basic features that are advertised are failing.
THE SOLUTION (for my case)
Of course, the reason I wanted to import the project was because there was aOne of the key reasons to stay with Premiere is that I am used to it and want compatibility, as the others in this post also would like.
Besides Adobe being of no help at all, I have found a workaround. As you all know the ppj file is a text file with headers in [ ] brackets. This file contained some headers which did not appear in .prpj created projects and this was due to some special effects add-ins which were bundled with the video card I installed in the old system.
By removing the special effects using the old version of Premiere installed on a 32 bit system, I was able to import all the clips with the NLE cuts as I intended, and continue from there in CS5.
I hope this is a viable workaround for some.
I do not know if Adobe plans to continue to support the import feature, but they ought to update their docs. It does not work.

Jpeg importing problems

Hi,
I selected about 1,400 pictures from my iPhoto collection. I exported them to a folder. I then went to import them into 3 different video editing programs and over 200 of them could not be imported. Two of the three programs were iMovie4 and Final Cut Express v.1. I tried the different programs to see if there would be any difference. I would appreciate any help on why the 200+ pictures could not be imported.
Thank you

Hi,
The problem is now solved. The question had been posted 3 different places in hopes of finding assistance.
I don't have GraphicConverter and since it is shareware and money is tight right now, I tried to find a freeware image converter on the internet for the Mac. I didn't. I remembered that I have Photoshop Essentials. It came with my Canon scanner. I installed it and looked to see if it had a converter of some type in it. I saw that you can import a file, work with it and then save it to what you want. I thought that I had already done that with the Nikon files. Anyway, I tested it. I imported one of the Nikon images into it and saved it as a jpeg- even though it appeared to be a jpeg already. Bingo! It worked. It imported into my video editing program. I selected two other files from the Nikon shots and did the same thing. I change the name of the picture and then save it as a jpeg in Photoshop Essentials 2. The two files imported into my video editing program. I then went to the two original Nikon files that I had imported into Photoshop Essentials 2 and changed the names of them- leaving the jpeg extension on to see if they would import, they did not. So, as you said, there must by some kind of Metadata with those files. Bringing them into Photoshop Essentials 2 and saving them as jpegs fixed it. Because of what happened, I just went through my approx. 4,000 pictures and selected about 1,400 again for a new family DVD. I created folder and exported 1,446 jpeg pictures into it. Then I opened by video editing program and imported the folder. All 1,446 pictures came in. I didn't try it with FCE and iMovie, since I the program I regularly use is Adobe Premiere. I may try it later, but I am pretty confident that if the pictures can be imported into Adobe Premiere, they can also be imported into FCE and iMovie(unless there is a number limit.)
All this has taken place over several days. I am glad that it is figured out.
Thank you for the help.

DVM Import Problem in ESB 10.1.3.0.0

Hi,
I have hundereds of DVM maps Xml files and i want to import them at a time.
But, ESB console allows to import one DVM map at a time.
I know there is import.bat command available for that purpose but i don't know the details of that method.
Can anyone help me regarding this and provide the details of manually importing a set of DVM files?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. But the problem is the webpage is not showing up.
Usually the default page will show up once the debugger is started, but now its not doing so.
Any thoughts on this.
Thanks

IPhoto 9.1.5 import problems

I import from my Sony camera, everything imports fine. The pictures show up in the "last import", I can double click a picture and see it. When I go to the events I see the event thumbnail I just imported, I can scroll through the thumbnails. When I double click the event iPhoto says there are no photos. When I restart iPhoto the event is gone and so are the pictures.
I go into the database and I can actually find the pictures. They are just not showing up in iPhoto after the import. I have done this several times.
I have tried to rebuild the library and none of the imported pictures show up and the import problem persists.
Any suggestions ?
Mike

DId you rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem

I will confine my editorializing to "Deja vu, all over again" and describe the Premiere Elements 9 problem that sounds like I was reliving the release of Premiere Elements 8.
I downloaded and installed Premiere Elements 9 tryout, and it worked great for about 7 days. With no changes in the computer environment, suddenly when Premiere Elements 9 was loading a new project, it would stop at PlayerMediaCore.prm and pop up a message:
"We have detected an incompatible driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver. Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce....." and it went on to fully name my video card driver. When I clicked on OK, the program continued to load completely and opened to the workspace where the Edit Mode Monitor performance was, best described as, wacky....Timeline content that would not present in the Edit Mode Monitor, Preview Windows that froze in the Edit Mode Monitor, etc. And, Edit Mode Full Screen Previews did not work at all. The technical irony in all this was that I have Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1 all installed on the same computer, and all were still performing great when I was using them one at a time as a control.
When I went to Hardware/Device Manager and attempted to "update" my NVIDIA card driver, the "update" that installed automatically was older than what is was replacing. BUT, now Premiere Elements 9 did work as expected. HOWEVER, now my Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1 were crashing at various times from loading to opening of the workspace. I am still hunting for a replacement NVIDIA driver that will fix the Premiere Elements 9 display issue and not kill my Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1.
In investigating this matter, I noticed that the Premiere Elements 8/8.0.1 "Enable GPU Playback" is gone in version 9. And, now, if you right click the Premiere Elements 9 Edit Mode Monitor, you have a Playback Quality option of Automatic or Highest. That tells me that Adobe was at work making changes in the name of better. And, I am wondering if what I am encountering is related to Adobe's attempted improvements in display which was one of the issues in Premiere Elements 8.0 when it was released. Or, could this be related to making AVCHD a native format? Lots of possibilities.
The above is my long way of saying "Has anyone run into this type of situation with Premiere Elements 9, any workarounds found (other than buying a new video card just for Premiere Elements 9, ???"
At this point, I know of one other person who got a similar message from Premiere Elements 9 and resolved the problem by updating the NVIDIA card driver. But that still raises the question "Do we need a special video card driver just for Premiere Elements 9?" and "Why?"

To Vijay and A.T. Romano:
I am happy to help out any way I can. First, I do plan on installing PE9.0 on 2 other computers, both running Windows XP. Currently, both of these computers (Dell desktop and laptop) have PE2.0 running, with no problems. I will try to do these installations later on today.
The 2 new computers have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. While I have installed PE2.0 on these computers, the program runs slowly. I assume PE2.0 and Windows 7 are not compatible. As I mentioned before, PE 9.0 runs fine on the Dell desktop. It does not play videos on the Sony laptop.
The contents of the text file are..
##FALSE#0#0#0
The error message when the program is launched is..
Display driver details :NVIDIA Corporation – GeForce GT 330M/PCI/SSE2 3.0 NVIDIA 188.67
I do hope this help. I can only guess that the problem is wide spread.
Thank you again.

Premiere Elements 12 Incompatible Display Driver problem

I recently bought Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and installed it with no problem. I tried to run it but it keeps saying that my display drivers are incompatible. My AMD Radeon 6950 has up to date drivers and I even tried deleting the BadDriver.txt, but it keeps appearing when I try to open the program. I would appreciate any help. I have tried almost everything.

truevagabond
Great job in solving your own issue.
Just a note, when you delete the BadDrivers.txt file, it is normal for the program to generate a new one when the program is opened again. And hopefully the program now works without display error messages.
That BadDrivers.txt file deletion has its origin in the days of Premiere Elements 9 and has continued to help others with later versions as well...after updating video card/graphics card driver is not the answer. The rationale behind BadDriver.txt file deletion can be found in post 10 of the following older thread
