  • What is this icon in CatDV?

    Posted by Mark Underkofler on January 27, 2014 at 10:40 pm

    I get a weird icon when I use CatDV and attempt to drag a scene into Premiere Pro CC.

    Also, CatDV has a Export to Adobe Premiere CC, but nothing is sent to PP. I suspect it has something to do with a screwed up Exporter utility in Premiere.

    Any one have an answer?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mark Underkofler

    hi Mark

    we don’t support drag and drop with Adobe Premiere as we need to use some Adobe tools to send the information form catdv to premiere

    there are a few steps to get this working

    firstly in the catdv preferences under the export section you need to tell catdv which flavor of premiere your working with ( cs6 /cc ) as in the following screenshot

    to actually send files to premiere click on a file or shift select a group of files and then right click and select export as and then send to premiere cc ( this will show the option you chose in the set above so if you’ve selected CS6 it will say “send to premiere CS6” )as in the following screenshot

    the first time you try this you will be prompted to find the location of the “Adobe extendscript toolkit.app ( or .exe on windows) as in the following screenshot

    this can be found

     In Windows: {Program Files}\Adobe\Adobe Utilities – CC\ExtendScript Toolkit
    Cc.exe
     In Mac OS: In /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities – CC/ExtendScript Toolkit
    CC.app,

    once you’ve done this Catdv will send the selected items to premiere

    next time you use export as >> send to premiere it will just work

    i hope this helps you get send to premiere working

    thank you Dougal

    Works like a charm. It was the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit that was causing the problem.

    Back to normal now. Thank you very much for your guidance.
