Matt, I’d be interested in finding out the specs and what your workflow is for the machine you use to uprez VHS tapes. I’d like to do the same for old tapes we have…mainly 3/4″ tapes. Thanks.

I’m stuck at version 25.1.0. I typically would update every time one is available, but ever since AI related stuff was added months ago, it made my GPU/CPU/Power Usage run so high my workstation was unusable. I had to go back to this version.

An Adobe Tech support person told me at the time that this was a known issue, but so far I have not heard…

I know it’s not really a fix, but can you add a frame hold for that one frame so you don’t see a flash of black? Just a thought.

What Mads said. I haven’t upgraded since 25.0 because of issues that seem to be related to A.I. and Generative Fill (I think it’s called). My issues were that the update caused GPU and CPU to run consistently between 80% – 100%; Power usage started running at ‘Extremely High.’ Once I went back to a previous version these problems went away.

I…

I had the same issues when updating to versions above 25.1. GPU/CPU/Power usage numbers went all the way to the top. Back to normal when I downgraded to 25.1.

I chatted with an Adobe tech person and they confirmed that this was an issue and that they were working on it. That was over a month ago, however. I’m still not confident enough to try…

Are the two sources ’embedded’ together into one track? Hopefully not, and one is on the left channel and one is on the right. This is how I handle it. Put your audio on two different tracks in the timeline. On one apply the effect ‘Fill Left with Right’ and on the other apply effect ‘Fill Right with Left.’

If the two sources are embedded…

Not that this will help you now…but I had issues using an older version of Boris until I updated it. Adding that to the newest version of PPro seems to have fixed the issues (for now…but you know Adobe 😏). My workstation is running Windows 10.

This may not have to do with anything, but maybe first try changing the quality on your program window from 1/4 to FULL. It looked like the lines only were present when you played the video and they went away when you stopped.

Here’s a more recent discussion on Adobe that might help. Not sure it mentions your audio question.

I have a Blu-ray burner installed in my HP workstation (Z440, circa 2017). I have only burned DVDs with it, however. The ‘properties’ tab says it’s a HP BD-RE BH38L (there appears to be at least one on eBay, with photos).

Also, I still have a copy of Adobe Encore CS6 on my machine, even though we have an Adobe subscription and use the latest…

Are you referring to placing ‘in’ and ‘out’ points then hitting the ‘apostrophe’ key which deletes that section while moving over the rest of the sequence? Because I have noticed that, too.

If that’s what you are talking about, sometimes it still works for me and other times it deletes the entire sequence after the ‘in’ point. Very frustrating.

You don’t need to use Premiere CS6, but you do need to have it on your machine since Encore CS6 is installed when you install Premiere CS6. You might be able to find it somewhere on the internet. Encore does work on current PC workstations.

Once you have Encore, it’s a very quick process, even though you’re going from Premiere to Media Encoder to…

First I encode the timeline using Media Encoder (NTSC DV Wide Progressive is the format I use). Then I use Encore CS6, which is the last available version of Encore but it still works perfectly for me and I have the most recent updates of all Adobe software.

I can go into more detail if needed.

Hi.

I don’t do this much, but was asked to encode a :30 spot for broadcast TV. I edited the spot with Premiere Pro (sending the sequence to AME). The spec sheet asks for 1080p, with the following:

File Formats: H.264 / .MPEG4 / .MPEG2 / .MOV

Quality: Highest Quality Possible

Frame Rate: 29.97

Audio Format: Uncompressed

Sample Rate: 48kHz

Sample Size:…

I’ve used BCC before – very rarely – but as I recall it worked very nicely.
