I want to be able to play a selection and then play it again (CS 5.5)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:45:38 GMT

One thing that was simple in Audition 1.5 is driving me crazy in CS 5.5.

If I select a portion of audio and hit the space bar, it plays the selection and then stops. But if I press the space bar again, it plays from the end of the selection. I want to be able to play a selection repeatedly so I can listen to it critically. But I don't want it to loop; I want to have control over the playback. How can this be done?

Audio levels don't match my settings

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:28:55 GMT

When I have a clip with a peak audio level of 0 db, and I set the audio level of that clip on the timeline to -6 db, frequently the output level of the audio for that clip with still be well above -6 db (though less than 0 db). The audio mixer levels are all set to default 0 db. Why would this be? What can I do about it?

Changing the rotational axis point of the 3D swivel effect?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 08 Aug 2014 17:04:30 GMT

I have a particular effect I am trying to achieve which involves bringing in text. If I apply the Basic 3D effect to my text, and then use the swivel control to position the starting point of my text, the swivel rotates around an axis to the right of the last character. I want to swivel around an axis to the left of the first character. I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to do that. I hope I have explained the problem well enough for someone to tell me how to do this.

Question regarding the most universal file format

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 21:45:25 GMT

More and more people are contacting me to have their old box of VHS tapes converted to digital files. When I ask what file format they want, they don't know. They don't know if the files will simply be archived somewhere for future viewing, or if somone might use those files in an editing project someday. And if an editing project might be a future use for the files, they don't know what computer or program might someday be used for this purpose.

What file format should I give them? I've been creating Quicktime .mov files using the DV25 codec. Something tells me that I should consider a different option.

Mutlicamera monitor on CS 5.5

Premiere CS5.5 hangs when saving

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 15:07:06 GMT

First, my specs. CS5.5 on Windows 7 64-bit, 16 gig memory, i7 processor, GTX 460 card.

When I execute a save, the program hangs for about 20-30 seconds. I may even see "not responding" at the top of the screen. Then everything is fine and I can continue working. This also happens at any point where the program has to interface with Windows Explorer, such as when exporting the project as a file. My footage (and sequence setting) is Sony XDCAM 1080i. This problem happens immediately after I import the footage, even before creating a sequence. It didn't use to do this. I have tried deleting my preferences. I'm at a loss as to what else to try. Can anyone offer other possible solutions?

CS5.5 - text scrolls flicker on final DVD

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:54:38 GMT

I am editing with Premiere CS 5.5. My project settings are based on 1920x1080 Sony XDCAM footage. I'm encoding to mpeg-2 DVD for authoring in Encore.

If I have scrolling text in my video (the client wants it for credits), it looks fine playing on my timeline, or on a blu ray, but flickers like crazy if I create a DVD. I have tried both the anti-flicker field option and the anti-flicker setting in effects settings, but it seems to not make any difference. I'm using a non-serif font (Arial Bold). I'm imagining it has something to do with scaling from HD to SD. Is there anything I can try to fix this problem?

I have been editing the footage from my client's Sony EX1 for a long time. Suddenly, all new projects for this client have the same glitch. Whenever I save the project, everything freezes up and I see "not responding" at the top. Then, about 5 seconds later, everything is fine. I haven't changed anything in my system recently.

I know that people will use these forums to communicate complaints about the new Preimere CC, or to ask questions about things that have changed and become confusing. People who are happy with the new software, however, may not be inclined to start a new thread to say so. So this thread is specifically for communicating things about Premiere CC that are noticablely better than in earlier versions. I, for one, need this information as much as the criticism in making my decision about whether to upgrade or not.

Video "tearing" on monitors

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:47:20 GMT

I am using Premiere CS5.5. I have a GTX 460 card with the MPE GPU acceleration turned on. I am using the DVI output from the card to my GUI monitor and the HDMI output to a second computer monitor (Samsung - supposedly hi-def, though I know this is not the same as a true hi-def production video monitor).

I am still working with a lot of SD footage. It seems like anytime there is significant camera movement in an SD clip, there will be tearing somewhere across the middle of the image. This is true in my source monitor, my program monitor and my second full-screen monitor. The location of the tearing can vary with each playback. If I look at the same clip with the VLC player, I don't see the tearing. Is there something I can do in Premiere to stop this from happening?

HDV audio/video sync issues

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:30:45 GMT

There has been a little bit of discussion in this forum about problems with audio/video sync on footage captued from HDV tapes. But I want to revisit it and see if anyone has any further insights.

I have a set of 5 HDV tapes that I am trying to ingest into Premiere CS5.5 for Windows 7. I am using the client's HVR-ZU1 camcorder as my playback deck. I have tried to capture the footage two ways. I have used firewire from the camcorder to my computer and used Premiere's HDV capture setting (which created a .mpeg file). I have also tried a program called HDV Split, which was recommended elsewhere on this forum, which also uses firewire thougb it creates a .m2t file.

If I bring the two versions of the same clip into a Premiere sequence, I expreience the same thing - the slow loss of sync between the audio and video over time. This is not merely observed during playback, but the problem is carried along during encoding to any file I output. If I line up the 2 versions of the file on the timeline, I can measure that the audio and video lose sync in exactly the same way.

However, if I play either file in the VLC media player (on the same computer as Premiere), both play perfectly with no audio sync issue at all.

Is this a known issue with Premiere and is there a solution?

"Error compiling movie. Unknown error" - my solution

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:25:20 GMT

I was trying to encode a project to mpeg-2 DVD yesterday, when I repeatedly received the message "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." I had had this happen before and I can't remember what hoops I jumped through to fix it. But yesterday, I found a simple solution that may work for someone else in the future should they ever search for this problem in our forum.

The problem turned out to be with some .wmv files mixed in with all the other .avi files I was using. And the solution was to right-click on the .wmv clips in the project bin, choose "modify," then choose "interpret footage. From there, I changed the frame rate choice from "Use frame rate from file" (which was 30.00) to "Assume this frame rate" and entered a value of 29.97. Voila! Everything rendered without a hitch!

Hope this helps someone.

Importing spanned .mp4 AVCHD files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:03:21 GMT

My client shot a long video on a Samsung HMX-F80 camcorder He mailed the SD card to me. As one would guess, if I import the .mp4 files into Premiere CS5.5 (Windows), there is a slight bit of video missing at the borders of each clip. I tried importing the files using Premiere's Media Browser, but it brought the clips in individually. Is there any work around for this? I *might* be able to get the camera from the client, which might be useful because Samsung has some sort of utility software on the camera itself (not available as a stand-alone program). But in case I can't, I'd like to know what else is possible.

AME not launching (HELP!)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 19:51:11 GMT

I have a project due this evening (of course). The first thing that happened in this sequence of problems is I used AME to encode a 40 minute H.264 .mp4 file, and nearly the entire forty minutes was a single frame (the video froze at about the 15 second mark). Now I'm trying to re-encode the project, and AME won't launch. I've tried sending the project to the AME queue from within Premiere and I've tried launching AME directly. Either way, I see the splash screen for a few seconds, and then it goes away and nothing happens. I've re-booted the computer twice and retried the process. Currently, I am encoding the project directly from within Premiere, and I hope it works. But I would like to know what I need to do to fix my problem with AME.

My specific "error compiling movie" situation

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:27:31 GMT

There are a few threads in this forum relating to "error compiling movie" messages, but none relate to the problem as it manifests itself on my system.

First of all:

CS 5.5.2

Windows 7 64-bit

Nvidia GTX 460

16 GB memory

Now, I have a project which has a wide variety of media, from AVCHD to iPhone video. It's about 17 minutes long, and I can output the entire project as a Windows Media file with no problems. But if I try to output an Mpeg-2 DVD file from within Premiere, I get an "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error" message. If I try to output a Mpeg-2 DVD file in AME, it will lock up at different points each time. But, if I use dynamic link to bring the project into Encore, it renders fine.

What might be causing this? I've read on this board that down converting AVCHD footage to SD using Encore does not produce a video that looks as good as doing it from within Premiere, so I'd like to be able to do this.

I often will break up a project into several shorter clips and send them to the queue in Media Encoder. Lately, when I go to encode the files, Media Encoder will get through 2 or 3, and then I'll see a yellow trianglw with an exclamation point next to one of the clips and the word "fail" next to that. If I save my queue, exit Media Encoder, restart Media Encoder, reset that clip's status and start encoding again, it will work fine for another few clipws and then fail again. It only started doing this recently. The program gives me no information about what is causing the failure. what can I do to address this?

Dynamic link and warp stabilizer

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:20:09 GMT

I have been using Premiere for some time, but I am new to After Effects. I have a question about dynamic link and After Effect's warp stabilizer.

First, here are the steps I am following:

1. Right-click on a clip in the timeline

2. Select "replace with After Effects compostion"

3. Once After Effects opens and the new composition is created, I drag the warp stabilizer effect onto the clip.

4. The clip goes through the "analyze" and "stabilize" processes.

5. When completed, I save the composition and return to Premiere CS5.5

Here is where I have the problem. When I play my timeline, the stabilized clip plays with much jerking. The bar above the timeline is yellow, so there is nothing to render. How can I get my composition to play smoothly in Premiere? So far, the best I can figure is to render an .avi file from the composition, and then import that into Premiere and replace the composition on the timeline. But I suspect it's not supposed to be that involved. Can anyone help me?

On the same subject, if I have a clip on my Premiere timeline with transitions on either ends, and I replace the clip with an After Effects composition, the composition does not account for the extra frames needed for the transition. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Double speed play back, normal pitch - possible?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:13:20 GMT

Before I submit this as a feature request, I thought I'd ask if this is already possible.

When I press "L" twice while in my timeline, my video will play at douible speed. This is useful for reviewing what a presenter is saying, but it's hard to decipher the words with the pitch moved up an octave. Is it possible to play back video at double speed, but keep the pitch normal? How about playing back at a fraction of double, say, 150% speed?
