• New on Premiere Pro CS4, seeking help

  Hi people,

  I'm working on a small project using images, just still no video in Premiere Pro CS4 on a windows machine. The final product will have to play on a TV 46 '' smart (basically, it's the digital display for a trade show booth). I hope there, can someone give me the best settings to use to set up my file and export. As I said, I am completely new to the first, so any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Export as mp4. There are many presets and you can find them under H.264.

  720 p will be the case most of the time. You can also try 1080 p.

  If you want to .wmv try the HDwmv.

• Stabilize the video in Premiere Pro

  Hello

  I recently shot a music video, downloaded to my PC and it shakes a lot and its not stable at all. Can I quickly stabilize the video in Premiere Pro CS4, if so how?

  I was told that you can do with Photoshop and then import into Premiere Pro that looks like a lot of work. I currently have of Premiere Pro CS4.

  Thank you

  There is a stabilization in AE:

  Source, track and control target (Pro only)

  The Tracker Panel allows you to control all types of tracking movement and stability. In this Panel, you specify your source of movement and the movement of target layer layer, choose the type of monitoring you want to use, and set options for special monitoring. Once you have set all your settings, launch you the follow-up with the buttons to analyze and apply data to follow-up with the button apply.

  Tracker Control Panel

  A. controls to create a new track, set the source query and target b. controls to set the type of monitoring c. controls to start, apply and remove tracks

  In the Panel controls of Tracker, maintain you the layer you want to follow, what you want to use data from monitoring and the layer or effect that you want to apply the follow-up.

  Source Specifies the layer that contains the query that you want to track movement. The menu lists all the layers of moving images in the current composition. If you have selected a source of the query or a checking point effect to a layer before you open the Panel controls of Tracker, After Effects displays the layer source of movement.

  Current track shows the track for the source layer that contains the tracking data. Each layer can have multiple tracks associated with it, allowing you to follow several functions in a layer or follow the same layer using different parameters.

  Proposal target Specifies the images, image sets, or the effect that you want to animate. When selected, the tracker applies the caterpillars of keyframes for the target of query layer specified to animate or to stabilize. Change the target by clicking on change target and choose a new target in the context menu of the layer in the target request dialog box. The Edit target button is not available if the Raw is selected for the Type of track.

  Open Options s the Motion Tracker Options dialog box, through which you can improve the accuracy of tracking and select third-party plug-ins tracker.

  I have not used, so recommend you ask for details in the Forum of the AE. There is a lot you can browse the process. I would just muddy waters.

  Good luck

• Premiere Pro CS4 video fills the whole frame.

  My Windows Movie Maker has stopped working so I bought it and I regret it completely. WMM is so simple and straightforward. I don't want a software that takes a genius to use. Even I could design a better software.

  In any case, for some reason when I import a video on my project it fills the screen. It is black boarder thick around her. I did research it and I saw a lot of things on the elongation or something like that. But I'm not a computer genius and adobe is expected of course as everyone else so I was wondering if someone could help me. Thank you.

  Heres a pic so it can help.

  Welcome to the forum.

  When its assets are either zoom-in, or have black bands around them, in the timeline, it is usually because the predefined sequence/project does not have the 100% source footage.

  In CS4, when you create a new project, they will set some preferences global and then invited to create a new sequence (chronology). It is here that we will need to know the full specs. their source files, and then select a predefined sequence to match these assets 100%. There are many Presets and then one 'special', the desktop Preset. What makes this 'special', is that you can set almost all the parameters for costume/game, such as the size of the image (this is where you are off), FPS, etc.

  If you can tell us the complete specifications. of your source footage, anyone can tell you exactly what Preset to choose, or how to customize the desktop Preset to match. That will fill your frame perfectly.

  PrPro from CS4 has the ability to have different sequences for different sequences, in the same project.

  Now, WMM is well enough designed to deal with standard WMV images, is very limited on the one hand, but on the other hand, simple to use - many, many fewer choices to make. It's 'standard', or nothing.

  When you have explored the power of PrPro and get used to the implementation of your footage, you will come to love him. The 'power' is intoxicating, and operations will become second nature.

  I highly recommend a great book, Adobe Classroom in a Book for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Press. The author you will return you though first the concept of using a NLE (of Non-linear editing), then give you a tour of GUI (Graphical User Interface) program. Then, although the use of resources and projects, you will return the reader through all aspects of the process of with PrPro CS4 edition. When you are finished, there will be very little, that you will not have been exposed to. Curt spends a good part of the time by saying the drive all on the 'why' and not only the "how".

  PrPro-Wiki has a great FAQ section on how to do most of the things in CS4 and should be bookmarked.

  Believe me, the operation will change from 'rocket science' to 'second nature '.

  Good luck

• Adobe Dynamic Link won't work - Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects CS4

  Hello

  I edited a video with a date limit, I am importing a sequence of Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects and changes in After Effects. I'm able to import the sequence of Premiere Pro in After Effects using Dynamic Link, but I'll go back to Premiere Pro and nothing has changed. I then export the minute 21 long video in After Effects and which takes about 12 hours, I can't afford. I don't know what I am doing wrong, until I imported to the AE timeline, while I was in Premiere Pro I right click it and select - original Edit. He took me to the .mov that I imported - since it is a roll forward. I learned how to use dynamic links to this tutorial-

  http://TV.Adobe.com/watch/learn-CS4-production-premium/using-dynamic-link/

  Initially when the dynamic link didn't work I thought it was because I cut the sequence imported Premiere Pro into After Effects because I was followed by movement. When you import a sequence Premier Pro can cut you it into different layers in After Effects?

  I import a sequence of Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects

  That does not create the type of link you want here.  In this case, changes to the PP would be present in AE.  You want the opposite.  (And you can only go one way, not both).

• Import. AVI with Premiere Pro CS4

  Hello

  I am trying to edit a video that I got from my digital SLR. It is in. AVI format.

  When I import it into Premiere Pro CS4 and tried to play. I can hear the audio, but the video does not play.

  I tried to install K-Lite Codec Pack but still the same.

  I used Gspot and it is said that codecs are installed.

  

  Hope someone can help out me.

  Have an installed CODEC is no guarantee that it can use to change an NLE program. This ARTICLE goes into detail.

  As John T., two popular versions of the MJPEG CODEC are the Morgan, or the MainConcept, but your DSLR could have come up with exactly what you need - but you may need to look on the included DVD. Camera mfgrs. Tweak often their particular and especially with the MJPEG CODEC CODEC. Who should be included, but it could be a separate facility, it can install with the driver for the camera or it could install with editing/organizing software. See this ARTICLE for a little more detail.

The top of the timeline where it shows you the green or red lines for renders bar or not video cooked is the section that blinks (the line all the time). I'm not having video playback issues. No flcikering video - only the top bar of the timeline. The flicking of the chronology is drivnig drives me crazy. Someone at - it expereinced this problem? Could this be a problem of resourse memory with CS4?

  I hope someone can help.

• Slow rendering in Premiere Pro CS4 (with a fast computer?)

  Hello people on the Adobe Forums,.

  I hope someone can help me with this issue, it has been bothering me a very long time now and this week I have to make a decision, or solve the problem and keep this configuration, or spend the money for a new processor (i5 750) and a new motherboard. But I think that this computer must do better, then he doesn't. I have the following configuration:

  AMD Athlon X 2 4600 +

  NVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX

  2 x 1 GB memory OCZ (250 mhz, DDR, PC2400)

  Storage disks:

  Seagate 320 GB SATA (7200 RPM, I think)
  

  WD 74 GB SATA (10,000 RPM, OPERATING SYSTEM)

  Hitachi 500 GB SATA (7200 too, I think)

  WD 1 TB (SATA) USB (hdd extern)

  WD 250 GB SATA (7200 RPM, I think)

  So I don't understand the problem, first is very slow on my computer... Rendering of a piece of 5 min of just a film randomly takes like 3 hours! Just now, I found some things that I shot with my cell phone, it like 10 sec 1 frame! On most pc with this vice versa!

  So the cpu is not only the former and nor is the video card, meaby memory is a bit weak... Could it be the problem?

  Hope that people can you help me, I searched Google and all but impossible to find someone with this problem...

  Software list:

  
  -Windows 7 complete edition

  -Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

  Drivers are, as far as I know, to date, I've updated Adobe programs also...

  Describe the source material, Codec: XDCAM-EX (mp4) movie

  But as I said, it happens too avi too, he thinks it was DivX...

  I bought this used pc, so it could be that something in the processor is already broken and I don't notice all the... I searched like everywhere and also tried to reinstall the program, but that does not work either...

  Marinus

  Marinus,

  My compliments on the way in which you have documented your problem! Very, very good. I wish that more people would take your example.

  Unfortunately, as you can see from the results PPBM4, your PC is a serious lack power. About 80 times slower than the top ensuring an and more specifically on the MPEG encoding. This means that, with your XDCAM, your machine hardware fights like h * l to get anything it to be delivered. Even with SD AVI material, it would be a struggle with these specifications.

  The only solution I see is to get a new machine. To get a rough hint of what you face. Watch Adobe Forums: how to build PC? and realize that the version of the budget is the minimum for DV and HDV, possibly material from XDCAM-EX, but for AVCHD and DSLR equipment you would not drop below the economic model. In addition, if you go to the hyarware forum and press the "View" tab at the top of the page, there a dropdown menu with several items that might interest you. http://forums.Adobe.com/community/premiere/hardware_forum?view=discussions&start=0

  BTW, on your new system you want to clean. With all the running processes, it adds to the burden and you could do with much less overhead.

• Display the metadata Panel in Premiere Pro CS4 on a PC

  Hello.

  I recently made the jump in Premiere Pro cs4

  Ive watched some videos of training Total of Essential Training to beyond the basics

  However they are all taught on Mac and I have a PC and have so often pause tutorials to decifer the PC version of some im being shown / sign.

  IM understand everything so far, seem however there is 1 simple function, I can't understand.

  
  

  On a PC, how do you get the metadata Panel to display in the monitor?

  IM repeatedly told (on a Mac that is...):

  Click on window

  Scroll down and select "metadata" to display the metadata Panel in the monitor.

  On the PC, (windows 7 64 bit which is..) Metadata is not in the drop-down window, however.

  Actually, theres lots of options in the drop-down windows on the mac in tutorials, which are not in the drop-down list of window on my PC version.

  Ive climbed throughout the program by going to each Panel menu (such as the monitor menu) as:

  Edit > Preferences

  and the project settings menu

  to be honest... I can not even find the WORD metadata, anywhere in a menu of Final Cut Pro.

  It's called something else?

  The PC version is not it?

  I know that I should do something simple/stupid and fake. Can someone help me please? Thank you

  The metadata of a component are displayed in the location of the project

  There is also a menu of "whirlwind down" (small triangle) in the project bin which allows you t o implement the display of the metadata.

• Premiere Pro CS4 feature Questions

  Hey everybody,

  I was thrown in a project that is using Premiere Pro CS4 (we use Roxio VideoWave) and I hope someone can answer a few basic questions (I'm not an expert in the field of the video editing software):

  (1) in the wave of the video, I can easily add photos and movies to a project simply by drag-and - drop from Windows Explorer. First, it seems, the only way I can add photos and videos to a project is to import media, and then drag them from the 'library of project' to the timeline. Is it possible to drag-and - drop a photo directly from Windows Explorer in a timeline? If so, please tell me what stage of base, Miss. :-)

  (2) is it possible to get a glimpse of what will look like a transition before adding to made the transition to film?

  (3) when I add a photo/video library project, I have to hold the CTRL key to have a 'ripple' Insert (for example, push everything into the exit delay). Also, I have to hold the CTRL key to make a 'ripple trim. Is it possible to define these actions by default, so I don't have to hold down the CTRL key for these?

  (4) Lastly (for the moment :-)), in Roxio Videowave I could easily change the volume of an audio clip in the timeline just by clicking on the average line goes through the sound wave and dragging upwards or downwards.) I can't know if there is a similar average easy to do in Premiere Pro.

  Any help is appreciated! Again, sorry if these are basic stupid questions, but the first is currently well above my level of experience.

  Thank you! :-)

  (1) is there a way to drag and drop a photo directly from Windows Explorer in a timeline?

  First, no, it does not - at least since the Explorer himself. You must first import the files (you can drag and drop them in the Panel project/bin) and then edit them in sequence. However, you can try on the media browser; go to window > Media Browser so you don't see it. Media browser will give you an interface of type Explorer that you can use to drag files directly from the folder structure on your hard drive in a sequence; When you do so, they will simultaneously be imported into the project.

  (2) is it possible to get a glimpse of what will look like a transition before adding to made the transition to film?

  Nope; Just try them until you find one you like. Then memorize

  (3) when I add a photo/video library project, I have to hold the CTRL key to have a 'ripple' Insert (for example, push everything into the exit delay). Also, I have to hold the CTRL key to make a 'ripple trim. Is it possible to define these actions by default, so I don't have to hold down the CTRL key for these?

  Nope; those who are wired. It will become automatic for you after a while.

  (4) Lastly (for the moment :-)), in Roxio Videowave I could easily change the volume of an audio clip in the timeline just by clicking on the average line goes through the sound wave and dragging upwards or downwards.) I can't know if there is a similar average easy to do in Premiere Pro.

  You probably don't have the volume adjustments or keyframe activated for your track. Check out the following screenshot:

  

  You can select "Show clip keyframes" (which lets you keyframe other effects via the menu drop-down on the clip) or "Show Clip Volume" that shows just the volume effect. A yellow line appears through the waveform; You can drag up and down to adjust the total volume of a clip, or use the control key and click the rubberband to add nodes or key images so that you can increase the audio. You can also control click a keyframe to germinate the handles so that you ease in or ease the level. Note that you can also select the 'Track' options, but (as his name suggests) to set the level of the entire track and not individual clips.

• Export of parameters (Premiere Pro CS4 with Matrox)

  Premiere Pro CS4

  Canon XHG1 camera (HDV/Mini-DV/NTSC)

  Card Matrox RT. X 2

  HP's Z800 with Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz, 12 GB of RAM and running Windows 7

  I have experience with digital video editing in first, export up to 40 minutes the videos (which took maybe 2 hours for export), but the last version I used was perhaps first 7 and I didn't have the Matrox card (and used a much less powerful than this computer). I used as just a level of consumption, not the big Canon camera. Now, I try to export the video and there are more choices that I had before, and it seems that the time estimated to export is quite high, despite a good machine and the Matrox card.

  So my question is, is there anywhere a chart that shows what settings to use for the particular output you are looking for? For example, what should I choose for the web that's enough quality but not a giant file? What should I choose if I want to make a DVD? Is it possible to export directly to a DVD, if you do not manipulate the video at all? I said, I should be able to use the Matrox card to reduce the time to export, but it seems that at least 5 times the length of the video export anything.

  I guess a question important here is: what is the normal amount of time I should expect something to take to the export? I have a 2 hour video that just needs to be transferred from mini DV tapes and engraved on a DVD - no necessary effect. Time to export the lowest estimate I can get is about 10 hours, and I don't know what that looks like in terms of quality when finished.

  In the future I'll do more often in short (2 minutes or less) video for the web, so time for export should be short, but I would still like to know what are the best settings and how much time it should take.

  I hope this makes sense - thanks for your help!

  The major bottleneck appears indeed disk I/O.Even if you have two physical disks in the system, Win7 consider them as a single disc, because they are attacked as a raid1. For performance optimal disc I suggest you to add at least two physical disks + 7200 RPM (so SAS or SATA, the latter cheaper, the first with a best performance), move the pagefile and projects and the cache of media in one of the discs and the other disk media. Which will improve your results significantly in my opinion.

  Then have a look at the two latest guides here, storage and tuning: How to get the best from a PC? Some guides...

  The setting guide was written for Vista, but the Blackviper site now also has a guide for Win7 services.

  I hope this helps.

• Transfer of files from different computer Premiere Pro CS4

  Hello all, new to this forum. I have problems to transfer files on another computer running the same version of Premiere Pro CS4. I can see all the elements and the fades etc, but the audio and video files are missing. Thanks in advance for you help. Keith

  I am pleased that you guessed it sorted.

  The other workflow is to locate the transferred project file and the media on the same drive letter on the second machine. So, no reissue of links.

  I carry tons of projects between computers through the external HARD disk. Each is given the exact same drive letter of the operating system on each computer. Works a treat.

  Good luck

• Why the Premiere Pro CS4 is only 10 seconds of .psd layers Photoshop CS4?

  Why the Premiere Pro CS4 is only 10 seconds of .psd layers Photoshop CS4?

  I have a second clip 24 I have stratified in Ps and when I import the psd in Pr THE SEQUENCE IS STILL ONLY 10 SECONDS!

  How can I change this?  Why does this happen?  I really need to know as soon as possible.  I have a video project due this Wednesday (certainly that's an AV class where I learn just PR.  "But I can learn VERY QUICKLY!)

  Thanks for your help.

  Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line ' just click-and - drag on the tail of your.» PSD to set the desired time,' once you have imported your. Just PSD (for example, images), you can drag in the timeline panel, click and drag on the right margin (the tail) and stretch his time because it takes.

  Now, if you have imported as a sequence, open the timeline of the sequence and do the same thing.

  Normally, I will put my Edit > Preferences > again I think will be applicable, make my Import, and then with the Info Panel, just change the duration in office.

  PS - Welcome to the forum.

• Premiere Pro CS4

  Customer notes: I had a file zipped with all sources of creation that somehow got clobbered. However, I have all .cfa and .pek files.  Can I reco
  nstruct source the use of these files, or at least make a new output file?

  If while do I do or what tools do I need?

  (1) I want to retrieve the source or to recreate the source of the only thing I have left and who are the .pek and .cfa files.

  (2) I'm using Premiere Pro CS4.

  Operating system: Windows XP Professional

  Case number: 181174894

  Ajay, I assume that you are a kind of support staff tries to help a customer.  The .pek and .cfa are intermediate files that cannot be used to create the files needed to save the project.

  The client seems to say that they do not have the source, and the answer here is that you can not rebuild the 'source' (i.e. files that actually contain video and audio information) of the .pek and .cfa.

  The customer does not use the strange expression of 'First source' but the source isn't really a file first, that's what they brought in first first.  First doesn't create new versions of these files. It uses the files that they imported.  So if they copy those files to another disk and delete the source files, first doesn't have a copy of those lying around.

  The slight exception to this is if they saw the files in the project, but they will usually have extensions .avi (and be in a folder with "Preview" in the name).

  Now the customer might actually have the original tapes or other original material; I would ask them.
