Hi Walter,

I guess that would work as well. If I do it in that manner how do I break up the photo into the small (50×50 pixels)?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the quick response. I’m not sure what you mean. I must make a good number of small 4 sided cubes as one layer then another layer with just the front side of the cube as a track matte? I don’t want to reveal the cube layer. I want to the cube track matte to rotate my photo to the screen as a number of small cube turn to bring the photo on screen.

If I had a screen full of cubes with front side white and rotating to the right side which is black would that reveal the photo using the cubes as a luma track matte?

Thanks Mike.

Tim, forgot to mention. In my PPro sequence, I have background .avi file on Video track 1 with my photo .avi files on Track 2. The background video is made up of 30 second looping video and my photo .avi files run around 5 to 10 seconds in length.

Thanks, Tim.

Hi Tim,

I make photo video DVD’s now using CS5. I make an.avi file and export as RGB+Alpha in After Effects – DV NTSC 720X480, 29.97, millions of colors, premultiplied, and have checked include project link. I import this file to Premiere Pro.

In Premiere Pro my sequence settings are:
edit mode – DV NTSC
Timebase – 29.97
Pixel aspect ratio – 0.9091
Fields – None Progressive
Dos[;au fpr,at = 30 FPS drop frame
Preview format – NTSC DV
Codec DV-NTSC
frame size 720×480
Maximum bit depth
Maximum render quality

Video previews go to my C drive, users/my documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/5.0.

PP loses the rendered files very often. Also, if I begin to render a file and go back to AE or most any other program, PP often times loses the render and when I go back to PP I must render the file again.

I did a search on “premiere Pro losing renders” recently and found where someone did a great deal of testing and concluded the issue has to do with files containing alpha channels. After years of having this issue this is the first time I seen any potential cause for the lost renders. I hoping this is the actual cause.

If you need more info, please let me know.

Thanks you for your help, Tim.

To: Tim Kolb,

I have been working the issue of losing renders in Premiere Pro since CS4. Still no fix from Adobe. Recenly I read a thread on this issue and the problem seems to be an issue with .avi files that have alpha channels. I have send a bug report to Adobe, but doubt I will hear anything back. This issue has been going on for a very long time and is EXTREMELY frustrating! I am hoping someone like you with considerable more clout with Adobe than I can help bring this to Adobe’s attention so we can finally get this issue remedied. There seems to be a large number of people experiencing this problem and for Adobe to take years with out generating a “fix” is absolutely rediculous.

Can you please help?

Thanks.

Daniel,

Thank you very much for your help. That’s got the looping menu working properly.

Hi Tim,

In Preferences I have checked the box to “save next to originals when possible”. Files located on internal hard drive J:AE Cache for Media Cache files with 835 GB of free space. I have Media Cache Database files going to C:UsersOwnerAppDataRoamingAdobeCommonMedia Cache with 187 GB of free space.

Under Sequence Setting the Video Previews is grayed out and cannot make changes.

Tim, this has been happening for a long, long time with all my projects having the same problem. I have imported a video file, placed on time line, hit save project, play the file, and hit save again and lose the video preview after leaving PPro to AE and coming back to PPro with several minutes. Just aggravating!!!

Thanks, Tim.

Hi, I am using Window 7, 64 bit. At times, I have lost preview renders immediately after saving the project.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi,

I do not see where this post has had an answer. I too lose Premiere Pro CS5 renders all too often. I see where there are a fair amount of people having this same issue, but I haven’t seen Adobe address this issue with a patch. Anyone have an answer or update??

Thanks.
