Re: CS6 Premiere Pro Green Frame in edting

Sorry but that driver 352.18 (released May 18,2015) is an antique in this fast moving environment.

 

What Graphics card do you have?

 

I just fired up my Windows 10  Premiere 6.0.5 and my nVidia driver is 372.54 with a release date of August 15, 2016

Your driver may be slightly different depending on what card it is.  Do not rely on the nVidia Experience tool just go to Drivers | GeForce and enter your data.  I see where there is a newer version than I have for the card I entered. 


Roughen edges - memory leak? Alternative?

It seems whenever I use the roughen edges plugin heavily in Premiere Pro (in numerous versions of PP), it's like there's a memory leak or something. My project becomes really sluggish. I make 1080p 30fps/60fps videos that primarily use still images (the images are almost always standard HD res or lower, I'm not throwing in full size photos or anything). My projects are basically glorified Powerpoint presentations - I'm not breaking new ground in CGI here.

 

Last year I upgraded to a Skylake i7, 32GB RAM, 950GTX, 256GB SSD. I haven't noticed a large difference, aside from having so much frickin RAM that even if there is a plugin with a memory leak, PP CC no longer crashes with an 'out of memory' error. Doesn't stop the sluggish response though.

 

Anyone else ever noticed an issue with Roughen Edges?   What about an alternative plugin? Basically the idea is to make the images look a little more stylized and professional, rather than looking like a corporate powerpoint.

 

thanks for any suggestions

Captured HDV files no longer playing in Windows

I know this is probably a windows update and codec thing, but I know there is so much knowledge here someone has the easy answer.

 

I have numerous HDV tapes from my Canon HV 20 that I captured using Premiere Pro.  I've made DVD's, viewed the raw captures on my streamer and that is fine.  But I used to be able to casually view the captured file on my windows machines with the built-in player. And I know I was able to on my Windows 10 machine until, well now. But I have not tried to view one in a while so not sure what changed other than......windows updates.

 

I suspect that a Windows update changed something in one of their players or codecs. There are the two windows players. The Media player and that newer windows 10 player.

 

Now I know there probably much better tools around to view these. I assume VLC would?  However, I am hoping there is some ability to view these files in the future in Windows. I don't want to have to transcode every one of them into H.264 just so people can view them on a PC.

 

 

Thanks,

Could not write XMP data in output file

I work as an editor for weddings. Every time I export a long documentary everything seems ok until you watch the video and about half of the video is missing but the time keeps moving forward. I've tried taking all effects off because that seems to work sometimes but it doesn't work this time. This is very irritating since it takes about an hour for the videos to export with no warning then when I go to check the video half is not being played. Can anyone help?

 

I'm using:

iMac (retina 5k, 27-inch, late 2015)

4GHz Intel Core i7

8GB ram

AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB

Importing .MP4 video files into Premiere Pro: Audio not appearing

I downloaded some video clips from Youtube in .MP4 format, and when I played those downloads afterwards, all seems normal. However when I imported those files into Premiere Pro and then placed them into the timeline, the video track is there, but there's no audio track at all. I had Premiere Pro 9.0 a few months ago and I could easily import videos with ease. Does Premiere 10.0 no longer allow those video files? Or was it something wrong with the download process?

Constant Framerate

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix my problem. I recorded a game screen recording at a solid 30 fps and it crashes on exporting in h.264. I called Adobe support and he said that the video needs to be a constant frame rate but, its running at a smooth 30. what is the problem and how do I fix it? Thanks

Re: Constant Framerate

There's a free download called MediaInfo, download it, open it, and drag/drop a media file (that clip) from Finder/Explorer onto it. Go into Tree View, and for the Video data, look down to see if it lists the settings within that clip as CFR or VFR. You need, of course, CFR.

 

Media Info:        https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

 

If it's VFR, then download Handbrake, install, and open ... and use it to convert the file's VIDEO to CFR, leaving the audio of the file unchanged.

 

HandBrake download page:  https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

Re: Importing .MP4 video files into Premiere Pro: Audio not appearing

Could be something wrong with the download on these ... I'd suggest downloading & installing MediaInfo ...

https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

 

Open it on your desktop, drag/drop a clip onto if from Finder/Explorer, and then go into Tree View, and see what it lists for audio.

 

Post a screen-grab back here.

Re: frequent crashes in Premiere (preview freezes - crash follows)

Sometimes PrPro does not react well to both on-board & full GPU graphics operative at the same time. Could you see if you can go into Device manager and disable the on-board Intel graphics? If so, then try & run it on just the Nvidia card.

 

If not ... try going into Preferences and setting the "Mercury Playback Acceleration" to "Software Only". See if that improves things.

 

Neil

Re: Could not write XMP data in output file

First thing that pops into my head is wondering if there's any blank spaces there ... having even a frame or two of blank space can cause PrPro to become very odd in the exports. Way expand the timeline and scrub through ... and I think there might even be a way to ask it to check for blank spaces, but I'm not sure about that.

 

What sort of media & effects are you working with?

 

Neil

Re: Is Adobe Premiere Pro Downloadable or cloud based only

Bill's correct about it being TOTALLY based within your computer.

 

Now, compared to Animoto ... Animoto is a LOT more automated, presets & such. PrPro is a pro editing program, and assumes YOU are going to make all the choices and know enough about using it to make them quickly. Takes one heck of a learning curve but can do almost anything.

Re: Crashing while rebuilding cache after 2015.3 update

I'd say your project file is probably corrupt. Out of curiosity, why did you need to create new versions? I'd have kept working a project in the version it started in until completion ... or until tested out and stable in a new version.

 

Create a new project, import the media in sections, and one by one, import sequences from the old project. Test them out to see if they're working fine. Then import the next one.

 

You can have 2015.2 and either 2015.3 or .4  'live" on your computer at the same time, btw ... prior to 2015.3, it was a 9.x build, 2015.3 went to a 10.x build number.

 

Neil

Re: What did I do wrong? Can it be recovered? (80% of sequence gone)

What do you mean? Like, copy and pasting the timeline into a new project? If that's what you mean, that won't work... because the whole problem is that the vast majority of the timeline has been wiped out.

Re: Could not write XMP data in output file

contrast/brightness mainly. There are blank spaces but thats all before the media stops playing. Smaller highlight videos work perfectly fine even with warp stabilizer and lumetri.


Re: Cropping resolutions to fit other resolutions

You would create an 800x600 sequence/timeline, then drop 1080 clips on it, and use Motion/Scale to 'crop' as needed ... one way. Ann Bens, shooternz, Jim Simon, all would have their own (and often better!) suggestions.

Re: Best Way to Match Shots

So, $90USD for the "cheapie", which looks like it does almost everything but the Stereo workflows and some matte work, and $330USD for the full program. Last updated in September of 2015, it says ... prior to 2015.2's release, the last 9.x build, and certainly before the 10.x builds started with 2015.3.

 

How well does it work? Which do you have?

 

Neil

Re: Best Way to Match Shots

The Lumetri panel within PrPro is a truly wonderful thing ... as long as you don't need tough shot-matching, multiple secondaries & LUTs/Looks, and or the above within blending modes ... so I would note that there's a 3rd-party auto-converter app that's listed in a thread over on the SpeedGrade forum. It sells for around $10USD (it's in Euro's though, from Austria), it seems to work quite well to transmigrate 10.x prproj  project file's header so SpeedGrade can open them as if they were a 9.x project file in Direct Link mode.

 

Premiere/Speedgrade Project Converter Tool

 

You have it open on your desktop, use Finder/Explorer to navigate to a project file, drag/drop it on the app, it does a save-as, adds an increment into the saved-as name, converts ONE (one) character in the header so SpeedGrade will accept that prproj file as if it were from 2015.2. Open the file in SpeedGrade, do your work, then save it.

 

Drag/drop back onto that app and it does another incremental save-as, reverting that ONE (1) character so the PrPro 10.x "current" builds see it as their own again, and off you go editing.

 

There are a LOT of things you can do pretty well and quickly within Lumetri in PrPro, especially with Tangent's Ripple or Elements panels which make coloring in PrPro vastly faster, more intuitive, and more capable. But if you're at all versed in SpeedGrade, the above mentioned 3rd party app is a life-saver. Especially when you need real grading, or have a project with a TON of shots, and need something more than just a bit of color correction.

Neil

Re: Best Way to Match Shots

Oh ... as to within Lumetri, shot-matching. Right.

 

Build a new workspace with a 'new' panel that has both the Reference monitor and Program monitor in it, preferably put on your second and properly calibrated 'good color' monitor. Save it as say ShotMatching, then use the workspace bar managing box to move it onto your workspace bar for quick selection.

 

Use the mini-timeline within the Reference monitor to move to the clip you want to match.

 

Use the main timeline to set the Program monitor to the clip you want to correct to match the one showing in the Reference monitor. Adjust magnification as desired. If say balancing for skin tones, magnify each so that you're mostly seeing only skin-tones.

 

You may need to note where in the timeline the Reference monitor frame you're using is, so you can move the main timeline to that to get a view of the scopes for that clip, then set it back to where the clip is you're working now, and see the difference in the scopes. It would be WONDERFUL if one could simply click in the Reference Monitor & have the scopes go to  that, click in the Program monitor & the scopes go to that clip ... but ah well. That would be easier, wouldn't it?

 

IF YOU HAVE OVER-BRIGHTS IN YOUR CLIP ... ! Meaning signal up above the 99 mark in the RGB Parade scope left-side graticules ... drop an RGB Curves effect on the clip, go to the Effects Control panel to grab & slide that up ABOVE (therefore before) the Lumetri effect in the Effects Control Panel, then use the Master or individual channels to either simply bring the 'lost' highlights back down or even do a basic neutralization of the clip. ANY SIGNAL ABOVE 99 GETS LEFT UP THERE by most of the tools in the basic tab. NOT good to view.

 

NOW ... you're ready to start matching. And for this work, I HOPE you've got an external control surface ... as it makes this SO much faster and gives better results. Say, the Ripple, for $350USD or thereabouts. Will save you more than the cost in a very few projects.

 

Neil

Re: What did I do wrong? Can it be recovered? (80% of sequence gone)

If you're using a saved version of the complete timeline, it CAN'T be wiped out ... period.

 

So, create a new project. Using the Media Browser panel in PrPro, navigate to the old project, and import the sequence. See if that works.
