Premiere

Hey there.

Does anyone here use adobe premiere? Ive been capturing and logging footage for about 3 days and Im just setting the program up for editing.

Ive got a problem. When editing I usualy do most of my tight edits by using the slide tool on the time line and finding the exact frame. But now it doesnt seem to be showing the footage as I use the slide tool, only when I pull the time line over the footage. This is slowing things down and I cant for the life of me remember how to change this.

Anyone have any idea?

I dont know if that makes sense or if anyone on here uses premiere. BUT I NEED HELP.

hello

it sounds to me like your clips are a different format to your Adobe project settings.
The reason you cant see the clips is probably because they arent being rendered (as they are when you view the whole thing)
In the project window right click on one of your clips and see what the settings are (compression, size etc).
Then go to the Project settings and make sure that your Video settings are the same as this.

Hope this helps.

Good luck

Hey there.

Ive checked the settings and they are fine. But I still cant see the picture when I extend/shorten the video in the timeline. I can edit fine but so **** slow. Im used to editing the otherway.

Any other ideas?

I dont know, but if you hold down the ALT key whilst you scrub the mouse through the clip you should be able to see it.
Not helpful, but there is probably quite a simple solution...

Good luck

Hey there.

When I press Alt and scrub the monitor is just black.

What software you use for capturing ?
Make sure that is not running other application with video overlay.

Hey there.

Im capturing within Premiere. I can play the captured dv file fine. But I cant render previews or anything. Even when I render a bitmap it comes out as black.

Its chappin my *** .

I really f'kin' hate Premiere with a vengeance.

I spent the last two years editing on IMovie, then when I changed college, they had their course set up around Premiere.

To say that it's an industry standard, it's quite poo.

Sure, you can do blue screen and chroma effects and the like, but for just simple cutting of your flick, it's a pain in the ****** aperture.

Doesn't help that PC's keep crashing all the fricking time.

Kinda reminds me of this...

I can't believe they censored r.e.c.t.a.l

Capture all your clips etc, then REMOVE the firewire cable from the camera (you can leave it in the PC) and see what it does then.

This is the problem which I have with v6 of Premiere, it wouldn't preview, it'd run slow and stuff and wouldnt let me edit my clips etc in the monitor because for some reason, it didn't like me editing with the firewire cable still plugged into the camera.

Hey there.

Thats what I did. The cable is not connected. The reason you were having that problem was proably because your camera is not "dv in" enabled.

Any other ideas?

Hey there.

I have NEVER had a problem with Premiere. It works GREAT for me. Btween Premiere/Photoshop/After effects/Soundforge there aint that much I cant do.

But I installed XP and its all gone up the wall.

I've worked out that it only seems to be captured dv footage that is giving me the problems. I imported a divx video file I had on my harddrive and everything works fine in premiere. But when I capture from my dv camera the footage is captured fine. I can play it all the way through. But I can not render or export anything. No previews/transitions.

Any ideas?

you could always download a copy of Vegas Video and the keygen ;-)

sorry, that doesn't help.

did you do an upgrade from old windows to winxp or a fresh install by formatting your drive first?

have you put the xp service pack on?

does your dv footage playback on mediaplayer (ie in apps outside of premiere)?

are you using the latest version of directx?

Hey there.

Its a new hardrive and fesh install of XP.

I can play the captured footage fine in media player. I can play it fine in premiere. I just cant render anything.

Despin out.

curious.

normally you will render something, even if you've selected the wrong codec.

have you patched premiere to the latest level?

Hey there.

Im up to date with premier...

I have Vegas Video. It looks like a fine program. I use Acid and Soundforge all the time. So I guess I could use it easy enough.

Its just thatIm used to premiere and I use After fx and Photoshop in with it too.

Any other ideas?

Despin,

I've had something like the first problem before.

I find it especially happens when there is a gap in the timeline, or some effects inbetween, rendered or otherwise.
I got around it by either having unadulterated footage on either side, or (better still) sizing the clip in the left hand window before putting it on the timeline at all.

but I could always render...

Try installing windows 95 [img]wink.gif[/img]

I suggest upgrading to Windows 2000 [img]wink.gif[/img]

Premiere didn't like XP on my machine. It loves Win 2k tho [img]smile.gif[/img]
