The origin of the problem could be that you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer or you still have an earlier issue of Premiere installed on your computer
In such case, create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:Program FilesCommon Files Adobe dynamiclink.
1. Close all Adobe applications.
2. In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:Program FilesAdobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
3. Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
4. Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters- without extension.
5. Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobedynamiclink.
6. Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.

I am playing H.264 movies on a Multimedia hard disk player but I dont know on which platform this player is based, it works very well. As of the media players installed on my computer: Quicktime 7.6 (472), Windows media player 11, VLC player 0.9 8a: none of them plays my H.264 movies. May be because I do not have an HD monitor. The real question that I have is for which reason my Premiere CS3 cannot any more export a timeline higher than 3 minutes as an mp4 and produces only a m4v video and a .aac audio files that I dont know how I can mix them into a single file? Thank you.

Hi,
I am very happy with the results I got exporting with the H.264 feature but for an unknown reason I am now unable to export a timeline lasting more than 3 minutes (as mentionned earlier I am getting separate video and audio files); consequently I am now using the Mpeg2 mode. I have pretty good results using a CBR mode at 10 MegaBytes per second average bitrate but scenes with motion like panoramic are slightly lacking fluidity. Would you have an advice about the best settings to use with the AdobeMedia encoder dealing with HDV footages? I display my movies on a Full HD 52″ TV. Are the HDTV settings available in Adobe CS3 presets more specifically devoted to the TV display? Thank you for your assistance.

[Philippe Verdoni]

David,
Thank you for the above information. Are you using HDV or AVCHD rushs? I wonder wether it is possible to produce H264 movies from HDV rushs.

After experimentation of the Export/Adobe Media/ H268 mode of a 6 minutes HDV project, it turns out that with that a large project I have again the lack of muxing at the end. Instead of a single .mp4 audio+video file, I have a .m4v video and a .aac audio file which I dont know how I can mix them in a single mp4 file.

[Philippe Verdoni]

David,
You are right the Export Settings dialogue box as a Multiplexer tab with 3 options: mp4, 3GPP and none.
After extensive testing I suspect that the lack of automatic multiplexing by Premiere CS3 at the end of the export process might be due to the fact that Itunes is opened (sometimes with my ITouch connected to the computer) when I am doing the export. Subject to confirmation after further tests which I will undertake; in particular with a 30 minutes sequence. Many thanks.

Thank you very much Eddie,
I remember that in 2002 I had been able to fix a problem with Premiere 6 that I was using at that time (the timeline was empty when I opened the project).
I simply edited the Project file in Notepad and did a find /search for “rate=[number],” and deleted the comma and make it into a period.
Is there any comparable method to reopen a CS4 project in CS3 through a modification of the Project file in Notepad. I am not able to use an autosaved file since I have disabled this option in my Adobe Premiere CS3.Thank you for your assistance.

In fact using the same export settings on smaller project gave me pretting goog results (almost no loss of picture quality) starting from NTSC rushs to create PAL H268 1440 x 1080i movie. I am presently downloading TMPGenc Express and shall then try your method. Which Premiere CS3 presets should I use to export uncompressed Quicktime Animation (Format: Quicktime – Preset: HDTV 1080p25 – VideoCodec: H.264 or Apple animation?). Thank you for your help.

I have an AMD XP 64 X2 4600+ processor with 3500 Gbytes RAM. How much time should it take for processing a 55 minutes HDV XP project? May be the time it takes to me is due to the fact that my footages where made with an NTSC camcorder whereas I am exporting the project as a PAL movie. Anyway I shall try your method using After Effects. Thank you so much for your assistance.

I have finally solved my problem after many checking. Although the Ieee 1394 connection was mentioned as “Activated” in the Control Panel/Network connections”, I have had to de-activate and re-activate it several times before the Premiere capture can work again. This mis functioning had appeared when I had tried to capture HDV rushs after I had captured DV rushs .
