Using variable frame rate footage from cell phone and having problems in Premiere? I just had this issue and found a software solution: Handbrake. It’s open source, free. Basically you use it to transcode variable frame rate footage to constant frame rate footage. Audio and video now sync in Premiere. I’ve only used it once and it was on HD 1080 footage but it worked like a charm.

October 12, 2013 at 4:55 pm in reply to: After using Merge Clips in CS6, the resulting file now has two audio tracks

Okay – so I found a post saying I could go to the clip in the bin before it was on the timeline, right click and choose ‘none’ for one of the audio tracks. Now when I drag the clip onto the time line it has one track, which is a lot easier to edit and takes up less space.

When it comes to exporting will there be any quality loss?

I know a mono wav file will continue to be a mono wav file but does Premiere change anything when you remove the second track? It still plays on both left and right channels so I suppose it doesn’t change anything.

It would be nice to be able to merge clips and choose what kind of audio track you preferred.

Hi – did you ever find a solution to this problem?

It’s a time waster to have to keyframe two audio tracks instead of one.

Is there another way to deal with this problem?

April 17, 2013 at 6:56 pm in reply to: Quick Release System?

Hi! I love the idea of using the cheap quick release plates to mount accessories because they are light and easy to take on or off.

Just ONE problem! I can’t find any good way to mount them to my rig. I have a suitable 1/4″ hole on a rail block but I can’t find a screw that will go through my rail block and tighten onto the bottom of the quick release. In order that it doesn’t slide around it either needs to be tightened from the top back through onto the railblock or from the back right?

I’ll try to make my question a little less convoluted: How are you mounting your quick release base to your rig? All I can think of is a 1/4″ to 1/4″ coupler which would be impossible to keep tight, or a very long screw which goes through the entire rail block and up into the quick release base.

All these accessories on ebay and I can’t find a single reliable way to mount a simple base plate to the rig. Hotshoe mounts are too flimsy and always come loose when I move my rig around.

Any ideas appreciated!

Cheers!

Ethan

December 3, 2012 at 10:12 pm in reply to: nikon d300s footage problem in 5.5

I’m editing on dell studio xp laptop, i5 8 gb ram, I’ve had no problems with this 720 p footage before when I was editing in Premiere CS 4. I opened it yesterday in CS 5.5 and there was a warning that I would have to re-save as it had been made in an older version of premiere. I did then try saving a new empty project and importing it – this didn’t change anything.

I also tried just opening an empty project and importing one of the files into it and it also didn’t work.

OKAY!! Solved!

The key is changing to 24fps. Interesting as that hadn’t been a problem in previous versions of Premiere it seems. I had mixed canon xha1s 23.976 fps footage with nikon d300s 24 fps footage and the sequence was 23.976 fps.

November 17, 2009 at 7:19 am in reply to: Edit stereo files in Soundbooth

Directed at the software and not the messenger: this workflow is absolutely ridiculous! AND I can’t seem to find an alternative. Is there any solution? Anything to not have to export each and every single audio file, export as separate mono files, import one channel into both sides of a multitrack and then mix down to a file?

Is there other software I can use to import adobe premiere projects so that I can edit the sound clips and not a single wav file? When I’ve already done a cross fade this is very time consuming.

Is there any way of getting exporting all those little sound clips as numbered files so I can at least edit them and then reinsert them in sequence? Somebody must have a way of getting these audio files out of premiere in an organized way.

Can I at least control what my audio files which are extracted from Premiere are called?

Adobe has some of the most beautiful, intuitive software in existence and yet… this particular tool brings the whole usefulness of the production suite down.

Premiere CS4 crashed relentlessly.

Found this thread, updated nvidia GeForce 6600 GT driver – worked like a charm.

Thanks.
