Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2006

I tried that but there are still problems. It seems to play in fast forward and the audio is missing?

EDIT: It also imports really fast!?

Ervin Farkas · September 1st, 2006, 06:10 AM

Well, it works for me... but I did hear others having this complaint and it is usually caused by software problems - most often people who experience this issue, have all sorts of codecs installed on their computer; those codecs start working against each other so you need to unistall them.

I don't have numbers, but from what I remember the conforming speed was nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm working on a little short using a 3-point lighting system, a wide-shot and a cloning composite effect.

I was playing two characters and needed to change wardrobe and makeup drastically for the second. Fired up the lights, recorded the wide angle for the one character, turned off the lights and camera leaving everything in place and went to change. Half an hour later I came back and I think I might have brushed past a barn-door just enough to move it a tad because there is now a slight, slight difference in colour between the two shots and I think it will effect the composite...Is Colour Match in Premiere the only hope I have at trying to match the two?

I went back to an old project to fix acouple things. I fixed every thing fine and when i tryed to export it into the file format i have always used, it gives me the error message: encoding failed. I am trying to encode it into wmv9, pretty normal settings, but it seems to happen no matter what settings i use. For now i am just encoding it into avi and then compressing it with sorenson squeeze later, but i would like to be able to do it in one step. Has any one had this problem?

*edit*
I also had this problem one time when i was using a particular audio effect to reduce noise, it would render up untill that point and then give that error message, but this happens as soon as i press ok pretty much, and i dont have any effects on the first clip

Mark Leonard · September 6th, 2006, 12:36 PM

well I kinda started along these lines in the cineform topics but realized my problem is with pp2 as a whole. so installed my new 3500 and cant get pp2 work w/o locking up. I know it has something to do with the nvidia drivers (im using latest whql). I tried the older 84 versions and have exact same problem. pny tech (and cant get them back on the phone) told me to use 77's as they are latest adobe certified drivers. however problem is that the 77's dont support the newer 3500. so I have to use the newer drivers. Ive tried different settings and it seems each change makes something work but something quits working. then I'll make another change and the whole program will lock up opening. All other programs on pc work great, especially AE7. but I do most of my work in PP2. So there's no way I spent $1100 on a card that adobe wont support. So who out there also has a 3500 & how do I make this work with PP2?

TIA

Daniel Patton · September 6th, 2006, 01:36 PM

Try this, export again to WMV but turn the audio off during export (not the audio on/off directly on the timeline but during export), just to isolate the issue.

I have run onto this when exporting to WMV when the audio was set to "Windows Media Audio 9.1 Professional". Try just using the standard "Windows Media Audio 9.1" maybe.

Nils Hoover · September 6th, 2006, 03:40 PM

thanks, i will try that

Rainer Hoffmann · September 7th, 2006, 09:47 AM

Hi,

I hope, this is the correct forum for my question, because I'm not quite sure, wether this is a PPro problem or a Win XP problem.

Anyway, here is what's bothering me: I bought a used Canon MV20i just for capturing my XL2 footage. On my laptop everything is fine, however on the desktop PC no frames are captured despite the fact that the camera can be controlled from the PPro Capture window (start, stop, pause, fast forward and fast rewind all work).

On the laptop I run Win XP SP1 and the firewire cable is a 4 pin to 4 pin cable. The desktop PC runs Win XP SP2 and the cable is 4 pin to 6 pin. When I connect the XL2 everything works perfectly on both the laptop and the desktop PC.

Any ideas what could be wrong here are very much appreciated.

Frank Hool · September 7th, 2006, 11:33 AM

after sp2 there is some issues with using ieee-1394. I personally experinced none of those but check this:
http://www.rme-audio.com/english/techinfo/fw800sp2.htm
and
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/winxp-1394.html

but if You're not sure is it Premiere or OS or Your hardware then try other tool for capturing:

Rainer Hoffmann · September 8th, 2006, 01:02 AM

Thanks for the links, Frank. I will install the firewire patch and report if it works.

Rainer Hoffmann · September 8th, 2006, 07:41 AM

Hi,

I installed the WinXP patch but the problem is still the same (WinDV doesn't solve it either).

However, I'm now fairly sure that it's WinXP SP2 that makes the trouble, not PPro.

Any other ideas?

Dave Largent · September 8th, 2006, 09:08 AM

Any Premiere Elements users here?

Denis Danatzko · September 9th, 2006, 12:09 PM

Any response based on experience w/b appreciated.

I'm relatively new to PPro 2.0 and am experimenting with the Change Color Effect. I need to use that effect on multiple colors in one clip. Other than adding the effect multiple times, i.e. once for each color I want to change, is there some way to add the effect only once but have it apply to multiple colors?

I've changed one color with the effect, but when I slick the eyedropper to select another color to change, the color of my first change seems to revert back to the original "bad" color. Can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's a limitation of the app.

Should I just add the effect once for each color, and leave it at that?

Haven't found anything in either Help or "The PPro 2.0 Bible" published by Wiley.

Input appreciated.

Bart Walczak · September 9th, 2006, 06:02 PM

From what I know, one effect for each colour.

Steve Wolla · September 9th, 2006, 11:57 PM

Need some help here--
I have been working on a video backpacking project that I cannot get correctly encoded. I use Premiere Pro 1.5, and set the file up as a MPEG2-DVD file. I set it for 7mb vbr 2 pass, and when the encoding ids done, I end up with a m2v file that contains the video only, and a wav file for the audio only. I cannot successfully import either into Roxio Easy Media 8 to make my final DVD.
I have no such problems exporting as a sraight MPEG2 file. I only have problems when attempting to output as a MPEG2-DVD. That's when I get the m2v files. Presets do not seem to affect that, that is all presets under MPEG2-DVD will encode as m2v. ASm I doing something fundamentally wrong here?
Any help or comments wouild sure be appreciated. my goal nmow is to get the highest quality output for playback on a variety of DVD playback machines.
Thanks!
