Hi Community,

I have a question about how Premiere erroneously handles keyframes when it comes to Position. I know I’m not the only one who’s had to deal with this but hopefully one of you can provide insight and a fix.

I’m keyframing video so that it pans to the left (+X value). However, between a flat increase of +10 X value across 16 frames…

Hey Community,

A buddy of mine recorded a podcast episode and ran into a major issue upon reviewing the footage. He’s never had this issue before, but unless it can be corrected the whole episode has to be scrapped (majorly unfortunate, especially considering the lengths his guest had to go through to make an appearance).

For reference, here is a 3…

Hey Man,

Sorry for the late reply.

The equipment used is as follows:

Sound: Rode rodecaster pro 2

Cameras: Sony fx3 and Sony A7

Computer: Mac Mini (I’m thinking this might be the culprit, these can struggle with live recording/OBS at high quality)

Recording software: OBS

Both cameras record at 30fps

Hi Community,

A friend of mine recorded a podcast recently and it turned out like this (just a 13s sample): https://youtu.be/ru83CHtKGNQ

I’ve tried various methods to eliminate what -could- be repeated frames… ie Premiere Pro’s Interpret Footage, ffmpeg, handbrake conversion from VBR to CBR, Shutter Encoder…

Nothing is having an effect. It’s…

OH. It finally clicked.

Both of you are agreeing basically that Media Duration should be 00:02:00:00 (as given in my example) but that I should report an out point of 00:01:59:24.

Man, it seems so simple now.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it!

This is all super helpful. But now I’m caught between your response and Ivan’s.

Ivan said I should use Media End as the TC to report to the FAST channel, however you’re saying it’s actually Media Duration. Media Duration adds one frame, so my end product is a video @ 00:02:00:01.

So final verdict is I should have timeline Out Point of 00:01:59:24 so…

“When you need to be inclusive of all visible frames you must use the out point as your end, not the last frame’s TC .”

Okay, this makes sense but then the Media Duration for a video with a 00:02:00:00 Out Point will be 00:02:00:01. If the FAST channel needs these videos to be on-the-second, the +1 frame for Duration won’t pose a problem will it?

Ivan,

Thanks for the response. Yes, that is helpful.

Quick followup… Our channel partner requires metadata that includes both TC Out points and Media Duration. So for example, if a video is 00:02:00:00 then I’d supply 00:02:00:00 for TC Out and 00:02:00:01 for Media Duration?

Or is the Media Duration specific to Premiere’s timeline and the Duration…

You’re right, Adobe can’t do this but I figured out the workaround.

To end up with multiple audio streams in an h.264 format:

Multichannel Sequence > Export as ProRes > Import into Handbrake > Set up audio channels > Export again.

If you’re looking for something to handle heavy lifting with graphics that’s also future-proofed to a reasonable degree, you’re going to need to get a bit spendy. I’d highly recommend either building your own machine or at least using a supplier that lets you customize your desired build that they’ll then make for you. Never buy a pre-built at any…

Hi Community,

I have a beginner question that I’ve spent probably an hour searching online to find an answer to — and there’s nothing out there!

Why is Media Duration one frame longer than Media End?

I have to deliver videos for a FAST channel feed and they need the TC for the end of the video so the feed playout lines up correctly. Which number do…

Hi all,

Hoping you have the answer to this. How do i export a file to these specs?

• Video Format: H.264 QuickTime file (MOV) with the same bitrate as the MP4 you sent to us
• Audio Channels:

• Channels 1, 2: English
• Channels 3, 4: Italian
• Channels 5, 6: Spanish

First off I am unsure how to wrap an H264 as MOV through Premiere/AME. Secondly, I didn’t think it…

Hi Community, could use some input here. Never ran into this issue before but now it’s a problem.

I need to export separate WAVs for a client who requires standalone M&E Wavs in addition to program masters.

I’ve routed my audio correctly (tracks 3+4 are routed to 3+4). I’ve Solo’d tracks 3+4 so the full stereo mix on 1+2 is not included.

The first…

Sorry to Necro this thread but I found one workaround.

If you click the wrench in the timeline (timeline display settings) and DEselect Show Audio Waveform, Premiere will prioritize generating a peak file for that sequence. If it’s currently working through a batch of peak generations, it will finish the current file then switch to generating peak…

Hello community! Got a bit of a tough situation here and what little info I’ve been able to find on this online is often contradictory. Hopefully I have better luck here!

So, I need to convert frame rates without affecting runtime. My starting asset specs are as follows:

1920x1080p 23.976 ProRes 422HQ

And I need to convert to the following…

I don’t think specs and format have anything to do with it, do they? Whether they’re h264, ProRes, or MXF — frames are frames. Converting 2997 footage to 25 without allowing a change in run time means one frame in five will be deleted. This will happen if the video is h264, or ProRes, or anything else.

How good my computer is doesn’t affect this.

Hi All,

I’ve been asked to transcode a series of 22′ episodes from 29.97 to 25fps for international distribution, with the stipulation that runtime needs to stay the same.

My understanding is this isn’t possible using Premiere without introducing stutter, as 20% of the information will be lost (since 1 frame out of every 5 will be missing). This…

AME does not adjust pitch automatically IIRC – it will conform length but pitch will change. No?

I’ve spent a few hours scouring the internet for a hard and fast % that works with the Stretch and Pitch process to convert audio from 29.97 to 25 with very little success.

So, I did some tinkering and found the number.

Now before the galaxy brains chime in with “audio doesn’t have a frame rate, it’s just sample rate,” I know – I understand. It’s…
