I am not entirely hopeful on hearing any good news on this situation, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I have just made the transition over from my rapidly fossilising XP desktop to a Dell Studio 17 laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB SATA HD, Windows Vista Home Premium w/SP1). The only version of Premiere I have is 6.0 (I know, I know. I think fossils are pretty?). I grabbed the Vista codec pack, too, just in case.

I can get the software to load. I can import my clips (no audio, encoded with Huffy). I can even actually edit them.

I cannot, however, preview or export. I am told:
"An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)."
and
"An error occurred. Error writing file (disk full?)."

I find it somewhat amusing that it has to tell me the same thing twice, the second time slightly more condensed, and that with "disk full?" it's like Premiere is asking me what the problem is. Like I know!

So is this a compatibility thing between Vista and Premiere 6.0, or is there perhaps something I have forgotten to do that I can do so that I could possibly start vidding again someday?

When I try to open my current project in Premiere, I get the following error message:

\dev\stingray\Backend\Src\Time\Time.cpp-352

and the program closes down. I can save new projects and open them again, though - just not my old one. I've googled around a bit (using the error message as the search term) and found that this is a problem that often occurs after installing a codec pack. I haven't installed any codecs that I know of since I last worked with Premiere, though. I have, however, updated my browsers (Firefox and Opera) and replaced my old version of Zoomplayer with a newer one. Could one of these have come with a problematic codec, perhaps? And how do I find out which codec is the cause of the problem (barring deinstalling all codecs, that is...)?

Oh, and I haven't changed anything else about my system since I last worked on the project. The only changes were the Opera and Firefox and Zoomplayer updates.

I've recently upgraded to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from Premiere 6.5, and everything was going swimmingly until I discovered that my AviSynth plugin does not seem to work with CS3.

I am at my wits end, and am now wondering if there *is* a plugin that supports CS3 (or if I'm too frazzled to see the problem), or if I should just go back to version 6.5.

Thoughts?

ETA: Solved!

Okay, so a bunch of my clips are suddenly refusing to show up in the monitor panel; all I get is "media offline" cards, which makes it pretty much impossible to do anything intelligent with these clips.

I checked the help file, but wasn't helped:  the file these clips come has not been moved, so using "locate media" is irrelevant (it's also ghosted out on the menu, just in case I wanted to try).  Also, the clips show up fine in the clip monitor.  Also, not all of them (and, as I mentioned, they're all in the same file) are failing to show up in the monitor panel.

Has anyone else had this happen?  Is there anything I can do about it?  I can't edit this way and it's driving me batty.

Hi! I asked about Windows Movie MAker before, but have managed to get Premiere CS3 in the meantime and am having an issue with it.

It has to do with previewing clips on the playback screens - I can't. ^^;;

Easier for me to show you than try to explain, so [click here] for a screen cap. (Needless to say, it links to a moderately large image.)

It worked fine for a while, with the exact same clips I'm trying to use now. So far as I can tell, it seemed to start acting up when I installed a purchased version of the 3ivX codec. Could that have anything to do with it?

System stats:
PC, 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium

Any help is very appreciated - I really don't want to have to go back to Movie Maker. >.>

I've had to upgrade from Premiere 6.0 to Premiere Pro CS3, which is kind of like going into your somewhat grubby but pleasantly familiar bathroom and suddenly finding a giant array of high-tech knobs and spouts and mystery tubing where your old shower used to be.

Question for vidders: how the hell do I turn off the Frame Blend option for all clips in my project file/on my timeline? There's a Frame Blend choice in the Clip section of the main menu, but when I select more than one clip, that option greys out.

I'm not even sure what Frame Blend does, but I strongly suspect it's blurring the clips unnecessarily. Right now the only option I can see is turning it off on every single clip by hand, which is not good for my RSI or my mental health. Help?

How I Vid

I made a little tutorial on how I vid, written from the perspective of someone who really hates vidding tech. I thought it might be of interest to people who are new to vidding. You can find the entry here.

Yes, I know. Audio attached to clips is the big major no-no. And, usually, I don't work with them - in fact, rarely do I ever. But. I'm working on a vid now and there's places in the song that would fit well with dialog.

Thing is, I'm using Premiere Pro 2.0, and grabbing my clips via VirtualDub. All the methods I've tried to get a clip with sound have led to massive fail. Mainly because Premiere Pro will only accept Uncompressed Avi or HuffyUV.

I've tried...

1) saving clip as huffyuv, saving audio seperate, combining both in PremPro. Unsynched.
2) saving clip as uncompressed, saving audio, seperate... save as 1).
3) keeping source clip/audio, saving as xvid. Xvid is jittery in PremPro.


So, a clip w/audio in Premiere. At all possible? Maybe some work-around? Thanks.

I'm getting some stray orange pixels appearing when I export. It looks like this but it's much more noticeable because they move around from frame to frame. This only happens in some clips, but I can't find any common denominator to what gets screwed up.

I'm using Premiere Pro 2, .avi clips from .vob files, the same process I used for my previous several vids, which did not do this. Mainly that's what baffling me--I haven't changed anything! Why pixels now? D:

Any ideas for what to fix?

I've been browsing the community memories for a while now and haven't been able to find an answer to this. It seems to me (please, correct me if I'm wrong) that all the how-tos and "vidding for newbies" and the like just give for granted that I know if I'm going to work with several clips, and how to do it.

The problem is my Adobe Premiere works alright as long as I'm using just one source vid. So far I've only vidded movies, so I just needed the whole movie file and everything went smooth. Now I want to make vids for TV series but I've been running into this problem again and again: how do you do it, clip-wise? There's no way I can use 20 episodes at the same time in Premiere without my computer exploding. Do you join all the clips you want to use in the same file? I've tried that with Movie Maker but it didn't work very well. Or do you cut each clip with Virtual Dub and still work with 20 different clips on Premiere, only they're small ones?

I'm really lost with this, so any help with your personal preferences and tips would be great.

I have a fairly new PC, Vista operating system, only a couple of months old. Every time I run either Adobe Premiere 6.5 or Ulead 11.5 Plus, both programmes crash the moment I start trying to make a video. Every. Single. Time. And it's driving me nuts.

Anyone know why this is happening? Is there a way to solve this? Any help would be hugely appreciated.
[identity profile] hmpf.livejournal.com
preferably in IM chat, because I just don't understand the program well enough to ask useful questions here. Ideally, I'd need someone in RL who could sit beside me so I could point at stuff on the screen and go 'ugh!' (I'm lacking practically the entire vocabulary here) but since it's unlikely that there's a vidder who could give me private lessons where I live, IM will have to do.

I don't really want to do anything *particularly* fancy - mostly just very basic transitions; possibly a white flash, and some slowing down of certain parts. I've played around with the program, on and off, for months, but most of its functions are just utterly mystifying to me.
[identity profile] some-stars.livejournal.com
I really have NO IDEA at this point. So I am going to throw out as many details as might possibly be relevant, because I'm so confused right now I don't even know where to start. The basic problem, as far as I can tell/describe, is that when I export a movie from Premiere Pro 2, into an .avi, the resulting file has glitchy little horizontal lines in playback, especially when speed is altered or when there's a lot of movement. These lines are NOT there when I render and preview inside Premiere; they are still there when I use VirtualDubMod to encode the enormous outputted file with XVid.

EDIT: They are NOT there when I view it in Windows Media Player instead of my usual VLC Player. I...have no idea what this means. It might be an artifact of VLC, but I'm not exactly inclined to trust Media Player more, and I certainly don't want people who use VLC seeing it like that, so...*still clueless*

so, so much more )

The basic thing I want to do is:

1. Take .VOB files and resize them so the aspect ratio looks right
2. Take .avi files and resize them so they look the same as the DVD footage
3. Get both of these cut into individual clips, and compressed into some format that I can put into a Premiere Pro 2 project--in DV format or not, but if not I also need to figure out how to make Premiere cope with that
4. Export that project in some way that it doesn't have ugly flashing horizontal lines, or do something to it afterwards to fix this
(5. Reencode the exported file so it's only about 50 MB, and continues to not have horizontal lines--I'm pretty sure this step isn't involved, since the problem seems to happen during exporting.)


I have unlimited free time, ridiculously overpowered software, and the entire internet available to me. There has GOT to be some way to make this work. (If necessary I will even make myself figure out the mysterious and terrifying AviSynth, but I want to at least know first that I'll be able to use the results, because that's about a thousand times more complex than my current method.)

I'm working with Premiere Pro 2, and when I export a movie and play it in VLCPlayer, sections with any significant horizontal motion get flickery white lines--sort of like slightly bad tracking on a VHS? It's not a huge distortion but it's visible and annoying, and the weird thing is it does NOT show up in the clip itself. Like, if I play the clip on its own in VLCP, it's fine, and when I'm watching the source window in Premiere, it looks fine. The lines only show up once the whole thing's been rendered. Also, this happens both with footage ripped from DVD *and* with clips from newer downloaded episodes of lower quality. I *think* it might only be happening on clips that have been slowed down, but it's not like I can...stop doing that. :(

Is there anything I can do about this?

Hi guys. I need some more help. I'd like to add more than three audio clips to my movie, I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Is this possible?
[identity profile] seektheinfinite.livejournal.com
Hi guys. I'm hoping that you might be able to help me. I'm in the middle of making a new heroes video. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, I'm trying to create an effect that I've seen in another video. I'm not sure what it's called technically, but it's where all of the edges of the clip are faded.

Screencap )

This is what I'm trying to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[identity profile] yunafire.livejournal.com
Figures that, when I finally get the urge to vid again, all the damn technicalities would get in the way.

Alright, so I'm ripping my footage from dvd. I may be rusty, but that much I remember how to do ;) I deselect audio/subtitle streams. I convert to XVID format with Virtual Dub, using the latest XVID codec.

So, got my avi files all ready to go. Go into PremPro 2.0, and it keeps giving me the error of "Unsupported Audio Rate in File". This is beyond confusing as none of my files have audio streams.

Seems the only way I can get Premiere to accept the files is if I convert the vobs to avis using TMPGEnc, however, that results in a severe loss of quality. A last resort thing if need be.

Help? :/

Hi,
I´m pretty much a newbie at vidding and I have a (maybe stupid)question concerning how to make transitions that look kinda like a white (or black) flash between clips.How do I create that effect with Premiere? Is it just a very quick cross dissolve? Sorry if that`s been asked before,but I browsed the memories and couldn`t find anything about that kind of transition.Thank you in advance for any help.

I posted last night about how all the clips had disappeared from both the bin and the timeline in my Premiere 6.0 video project.

After messing around and trying a bunch of different things, finally, I took one of my clips and opened it using GSpot to see what codec it was using. GSpot said the clip needed LAGS (Lagarith) but that my computer didn't have this codec and couldn't play the video file. (Which was weird, since I used to have Lagarith and hadn't deleted it.)

So, I downloaded Lagarith and installed it. I opened my vid project in Premiere...and my clips were back! Hoorah! They were in the bin and on the timeline where they belonged! Unfortunately, though, the problem isn't completely resolved.

Clips don't show up in the preview window, but they work fine elsewhere. )

Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated. :)
[identity profile] tartanshell.livejournal.com
I have been working on a vid using Premiere 6.0. I just finished it tonight and was planning to export it. The vid was saved, complete, with all the clips on the timeline where they were supposed to be. I exited out of Premiere and got online (my computer can't handle doing both at once) because I needed to refresh my memory about how to export and compress.

I went to this post, and--well, this is the part where I fail at reading comprehension. I already have the AMV App, but I searched for the Panasonic DV codec on my harddrive and didn't find it, so, I figured it couldn't hurt to download it, following the link [livejournal.com profile] astolat gave. I downloaded the Panasonic DV codec and installed it.

Then I started Premiere up again and opened my vid file. ...And all of my clips were gone. The only video left was black video that I had created and put in some spots. The clips were not on the timeline, and they weren't in the project files/bin thing on the side, either. (The files in the sidebar thingie were my audio and the black video--that was it.)

I thought this might be a glitch, since Premiere is buggy for me sometimes, so, I closed Premiere (without saving the vid) and opened the file again. Same thing. I closed Premiere again (saying 'no' to the 'do you want to save?' question again) and restarted my computer. Then I opened the project again. Still no clips.

Now I'm wondering if downloading and installing the Panasonic DV codec did this, but I don't know how to get rid of it! I would really like to get my clips back and not lose the vid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
