• 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).

• Effects of lightsaber using the dynamic link with Premiere pro and After Effects CS4

  Hi all

  I'm working on a video project and that you want to add a lightsaber effect, but a layer which is suppose to be transparent isn't using dynamic links.

  I shot the video in my head, and everything else hidden.  I made a flash body to put my head on.  Now I know how to make a lightsaber in After Effects CS4. (starting with comp 1 with videos making a white solid layer, and then using the tool pen to make the sword.  Then copy the sequences video and place it in comp 2.  Then to return to comp 1 and remove the video sequences. then on comp 1 making a SOLID BLACK LAYER {that's the problem} and place it under the layer of white.  Then duplicate the white layer 3 times.  Changing each feather white layer mask to make the glow.  so going to comp 2 and take the 1 model and her nest to model 2...  Then change the blending mode of the model nested 1 to the screen.

  The main timeline in Premiere Pro CS4 and I have the video layer 1 to Photoshop file which is pink and the background of this project.  I made a dynamic link to After Effects and copied and pasted the video images and flash to the comp.  Here, I made the lightsaber.

  That is the problem.  The model of dynamic links with video, flash and the lightsaber will not show my pink background in Premiere Pro shows him my video, flash and lightsaber but the background is black.  In case of problems, I noticed if I turn off the LAYER BLACK for the lightsaber effect, I see my pink background with video and flash sequences and the glow of sabre, but my blue lightsaber color will not appear.

  Do more problems I set photoshop to lightsaber model file and I see the video, the flash, the lightsaber but I think because the background is pink I don't get a color glow to the sword (vilot color)

  If the layer of black is supposed to be transparent, so why can't see my background in Premiere Pro using dynamic links?

  appreciate any help I can get,

  Thanks in advance.

  Mr. PETER K

  P. S. - one-way I kinda had this work was I took one of the masks of white and copied and pasted layers in nested layer comp 1.  Adjusted to the width of the mask and the pen and I got a glow of blue ok.  You just can't mask width too because it shows a lot of black.  It is not as good as I want and I hope someone can help...

  Thank you again...

  Well, blend modes don't create transparency, so the behavior is correct - because technically, the background of the model is ignored for the mix of operations, in areas where there are no content below for the mix, only the layer of black color is used. You create transparency good, real luminance based on unmultiplying, that can be done with the Knoll Unmult plugin Red Giant Software (free) or the effect of changing the channel of the AE monitoring bey a color delete effect.

• Premiere Pro CS4 trial update, now the codecs are missing

  I had to reinstall my Premiere Pro CS4 (which was a downloaded update) on a new computer and install the free trial first. Now, after working with Adobe support and supposed to have been upgraded to full CS4, I get the error message: "additional codecs that do not appear in the Premiere Pro CS4 trial version must be installed." I try to update on the Help menu, but get the message that "there no update at this time."  Anyone have any ideas?

• Sync during compression HD FLV and F4V in Premiere Pro CS4

  Hello.  I am trying to create messages of public interest for You Tube initially created with a small device that produces Quicktime HD files.  For YouTube they do not have to be perfect, but that's what I'm working with.  My computer has only 4 GB of ram so I can't watch the video to test synchronization because it gives just a slide show when editing.  He never does anything, but a slide show with HD video.

  When I watch the original unedited Quicktime file synchronization was distant.  When I visited the original file in FLV and F4V formats, just to test the synchronization it is PERFECT.  Then I edited the first video from this session and FLV used and the timing was PERFECT.  So I do the second video synchronization, tested on the original film and its PERFECT.

  So I thought it was okay to continue.  Everything was perfect after that first made the raw images. The first video worked, right? Synchronization of the raw images of the second video has been fixed, right?

  Now that I spent all the time to edit the 2nd video, sync is TERRIBLE.  I have no idea why.  F4V was worse than FLV, but none are ideal for 2 video.  So I guess I have two questions:

  (1) what format should I use to upload to YouTube which does not give me a unusable timing problem

  (2) is there something I can do to see continuous synchronization in Premiere Pro CS4 without updating my equipment?  I use Vista 64 bit, 4 GB of ram, dual-core intel.  What I have to do a significant hardware upgrade just to get HD video do not make a slideshow during first execution?

  Thank you!

  AVI file to the private mssg link... 1 gigabyte, takes about 30 min to DL - look and tell me if synchronization is better or worse you know... or the same thing... without you looking at this file and checking against your own there would be no way of KNOWING what (compared to what you met).

  IF THE AVI IS BETTER... What are the steps

  project settings and description of the measures shown below...

  CineForm (neoscene) can handle that sort of thing of conversion, but I do not have this program... most of this will be explicit from the images...

  

  

  

  Here's the info from mediainfo avi export

  

  below is the description of steps

  -------------

  easyShare measures taken

  his program (I used soundforge) allows re - sample 16 kHz sound for wav file (wav pcm) to 48 kHz and 32 bit floating point.

  record in stereo or mono (stereo may turn into 2 mono channels when they are imported in preview)

  Import original mov file to the new project, untie her, remove its import wav and put on wav chronology... link to the video.  I increased the volume on an audio file with conversion just for my own satisfaction... you can do what you want the audio file also (re: filters etc)

  The file size will be HUGE... as you're now away from the advanced mpeg 4 HIGHLY compressed format of your original footage...

  However, it is OK to HAVE BYTES COUNT FILE AT THIS POINT HUGE...

  You can then IMPORT the AVI file that you exported in first for your mounting--(je commencerais nouveau projet pour cela) with very little "loss" of original quality - most of the humans would be able to tell any difference between the quality of the original and this AVI file... (I can't).

  After you change the avi file or files to export as flash or anything else you want...

• Why is 'Edit in Audition' greyed in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

  Since the launch of CC 2014 option in Premiere Pro and After Effects to 'Edit in Audition' is grayed out. Right-clicking on a clip in Premiere Pro is not an option for hearing. I can't send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted Adobe Support staff earlier this evening. They suggested to go to my Mac system preferences and allow the root user, log out of my account, connect to the root user, stop and start in safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. He is always grayed out in the two user accounts.

  Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled the hearing. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Yet once, never had this problem before.

  I'd appreciate any help!

  Thank you!

  See you soon,.

  I may have an answer for you, but do not know if my resolution will work for Macs.

  First of all, here is my system and the initial info. I use a work computer, OS is Windows 7. I've just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 a week ago, and I also uninstalled previous versions of all my programs creative cloud after installing new versions (CC 2014 is not simply to update the previous version, it installs a new program and does automatically uninstall previous programs of CC). Not sure whether to for this resolution to work the uninstall.

  In any case, after I installed first Pro CC 2014 and 2014 CC hearing, the Clip edit in Adobe Audition command was available in the Edition in the Menu bar menu, but has been disabled in the context menu to the sequence (for the context menu, it was visible, but gray and disabled). When I tried to use the command in the Edit menu in the Menu bar, he gave me a dialog box fill and it has created a new folder (called "Adobe Audition to Exchange"). So, the command, when selected from the 'Edit' menu has obviously uses a different process from the command in the context menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new record created, or to fill a dialog, I wanted to just behave like he used to. In fact, when I right click on the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition on the shortcut menu, it just opens the hearing and the audio waveform is visible.

  I was able to solve this problem and get the right click command works by reading a few articles on this same issue of Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and those to help understand how to solve this problem in Adobe CC 2014.

  Here's what I did:

  • I had to find my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same place, as they were for the previous version of the CC (at least, they were not for me). I had to use the command search and find extensions of .sesx to locate.
  • Found under the path C: > users > Public > Public Documents > Adobe > hearing > 7.0 > model Session. Note that (for me), there is a folder called 6.0 at the same level as the record of 7.0 . I selected the 7.0 folder this folder contained the most recent set of files of .sesx. I checked the folder 6.0 and those are the .sesx of the previous version files, so I deleted this folder as a cleaning step.
  • I clicked on one of the. sesx files in the folder Templates of Session chosen then Open with on the shortcut menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
  • I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 of the list of programs (you may need to browse to find it) and always use the selected program to open this type of fileselected. I then clicked on OK to submit the order of configuration and close the Open with dialog box.
  • I rebooted first Pro CC 2014 and the Clip edit in Adobe Audition command is now enabled in the context menu and worked properly.
  • I cried with joy... OK, not really, but I'm still peeved at ridiculous regression errors and lack of extensive testing of new versions of the software, so I'm glad the frustrating problems.

  Don't know if this will help you, or if you already solved your problem. Whatever it is, good luck!

• Premiere Pro CS4 hungs on importing or opening files

  Hello!

  I have a serious problem with Premiere Pro CS4. I have install on Windows 8, everything goes well. I create the first project and import mov files. First time I tried h284 Canon DSLR raw file. He played really bad. Secondly, I try AVID DNxHD mov, plays too slow, but everything is normal. But shortly after the first absolutely freezing. I restart, try to import the file or open the project with imported files (no matter what codec it is), it freezes again as before. And nothing helped. I tried to reinstall it about 5 times, it has no effect. What is c? Please, help me!

  P.S. I don't know it worked on Windows 7 with MOV of the Canon camera, but I was working with other codecs.

  Update. I found this problem described appears only with files DNxHD. regular H.284 causes different problem - during the first window loses focus (when I go to explorer, for example) first crashes, it's the window disappears and only strange red line stays on the screen. WTF?...

• Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 may not be reinstalled

  Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 may not be reinstalled after failing for unknown reasons (no crash but program after a normal start after working flawlessly for years). I get the message: & quot; Error starting Adobe Premiere Pro: Adobe Premiere Pro was unable to communicate with the process & quot; importer bailiff & quot; Reastarting your computer can solve this problem & quot;.

• Slow playback in Premiere Pro CS4 (how to reduce res preview?)

  Hi everyone, I was just wondering how to reduce the resolution of the reading/preview while3 editing in Premiere Pro CS4? I'm editing 720 p video (.mov format, that's what my camera takes pictures, so I don't think I can change that). All I see when I right click in the source monitor is "quality > high, rough, automatic. Is there anything else that I can choose? (kind of in aftermath, where you can set it to 1/2, 1/4, etc.). I searched the internet for the better part of the day and what I found is that 'quality' menu I mentioned earlier.

  It is always very slow to look on the 'project', and it doesn't look like it's much more of a difference in quality. Now, my laptop isn't exactly the rendered beast that I wish it were, but it can handle 720 p [slowly] in after effects so I think it should work first too.

  Thank you!

  PS: Anyone of you experts think it would be a good computer for NLE / rendering of effects?

  http://www.TigerDirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7192259 & SKU = B69-1277

  CS5 offers specific options like 1/2 and 1/4.  Earlier versions offered only full, project and Auto.

  A new computer is probably in order.  Your link isn't a bad option.  (Even if you need to add at least two drives more.)

• Premiere Pro CS4 SDK - exporter plugin

  Premiere Pro CS4 SDK

  Hello
  I ran the sample exporter SDK CS4 project and it never seems to join the case "exSelExport" the plugin's main entry. Instead, after clicking on "OK" in the window of the exporter, first pro cs4 selector returns = 14 and after nothing happens (because there is no place of 14) host selector gives 8 (EndInstance). After that, Adobe Media Encoder queue is started. That seems like a flaw for me since I am not able to handle the export as I want (in my case, I want to use 3rd party exporter for images, news, audio/video, etc.) in the case of exSelExport. Is it a typical workflow for Pr CS4 pass the straight Media Encoder compression/rendering? Under what circumstances can I enter exSelExport when I'm ready to export a clip? I use Pr Pro CS4 4.0.0.

  Hey Petro,

  In CS4, the only export is through Media Encoder.  So, you will need install your exporter in a place where the two Premiere Pro and Media Encoder will load it.  The MediaCore folder is the recommended location, which Vista32 on CS4 will be something like:

  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS4\MediaCore

  For more information, see Installation of plug-ins on page 32 of the CS5 SDK Guide.

• AVI file won't play in Premiere Pro CS4

  I wonder if someone can show me a simple solution to this problem.

  I did an AVI movie with my Canon Powershot A2100 640 x 480 to 88 kbps and 769MB. After a tutorial of Project http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cs4/getting-started-02-setting-up-your-first-/ (and more) I can't my video to play. The games sound but the video portion is not... It does not correctly play with Windows Media Player

  As a separate trial, I ran my video using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 export to another AVI file and this file will play in Premier Pro. The only difference is that I exported it without the audio.

  Any thoughts?   My goal is to change the sound and hopefully reduce the size of the file so that it will be able to my site web watch.

  Thank you for your time

• Degradation of JPEGs imported into Premiere Pro CS4 in steps

  For this I downloaded 2 JPEG files, I don't know if the scale applied by the forum software is just for display in the message, I hope that JPEG files can be downloaded as they have been downloaded.

  In any case, I make a documentary, he made abundant use of computer images captured in JPEG format using the Microsoft Vista cutting tool.

  The first JPEG is a real snip, while JPEG was introduced in Premiere Pro CS4 and I did another captures the workspace.

  It's progressively worse within the PrPro.

  PrPro window in the top center shows how PrPro JPEG format after importation.

  This shows a degradation.

  PrPro window top right shows how PrPro JPEG format after the addition of the sequence on the top layer of video and it has more degradation, in particular it vertically down by comparison with the first of these 2 screens.

  When I do a test of the 1 4 seconds of this sequence generation, the JPEG is unreadable.

  It is perhaps in part because of the square pixels computer video versus PAL rectangular pixels, but I don't think it's history because of the increase in degradation. The ability to present with 1.333 pixels using rather than the square does not solve the problem.

  I used Windows Movie Maker and Windows Live Movie Maker to create JPEGs which this JPEG video files and basically what they translate with only a tiny decline, output files .wmv 1080 HD, Movie Maker gives only intertwined but Live Movie Maker gives progressive, so I think.

  If you import these .wmv files and place on the top layer of the sequence that they also get murdered in PrPro.

  Tool Vista capture is to save JPEG files as RGB 24 bits and Gimp color evoke the color in sRGB profile.

  Is it possible to get RGB JPEG processed correctly in PrPro?

  Thank you.

  

  

  ---------------

  I have download the sequence of parameters you will see here are for interlaced HDTV 50, but also my video resource only for this sequence, I found is progressive better so I'll start by creating a new sequence to match the video resource base. The interlaced stuff was just because my vid cam creates interlaced AVCHD but all these vid files have been used in previous projects and the output has been set to 1080 progressive

  -----------------------

  your project now

  1440 x 1080 50 Hz 25 fps, 16:9 (anamorphic-1, 333) - problem of language from me... That's right 25 frames per second?

  your sample video

  XDCAM-ex, 24.4 fps, 1920 x 1080, 50 Hz.  -Once again, language prob... It's 24.4 fps?

  Download bad example? looks intertwined for me (50 Hz), but I'm a little confused because I do not work with pal and do not (your) language. How you can know more than one language is beyond my comprehension!

  Anway, was this snack one mistake and you are really going to use progressive? You can download jpg of this progressive file info if it was a mistake?

  progressive should say something like "fields = no, no field, progressive, or square pixel.

  lets get this project directly first defining... cause, you might be better to create your project settings "custom / desktop" instead of a "Preset"...

  especially with your video in 1920 x 1080 instead of 1440 x 1080... you want to make your project, 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080 anamorphic and not.  But first lets be sure if your video is interlaced or progressive you want in the project... then you will make the project to match images and then after that in the face of AN image and you should be set to go

• 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.
