The codecs found in Adobe Media Encoder depend on the application or bundle that is installed.

The codecs found in Adobe Media Encoder depend on the application or bundle that is installed.

Adobe Media Encoder is the hub for encoding media from Adobe media applications. There is one point of confusion for our customers, however, and that is that there are varying forms of Adobe Media Encoder, depending on which application or suite you have installed.

The codecs that are found in Adobe Media Encoder depend on which version of Creative Suite or standalone program that is installed. So, while a codec might be installed in one version of Adobe Media Encoder, it might not be found in another. This has a lot to do with licensing fees that are paid to creators of certain codecs. So, how do you find out which codecs are installed in your version of Adobe Media Encoder?

Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, and later enables the following import and export formats when installed by any Adobe CS5.5, and later application or suite.

Import Formats
Video: AVI, DV, FLV, F4V, Animated GIF (Windows Only), MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MXF, MXF OP1a (CS5.0.2 and later), QuickTime, WMV, P2/AVC Intra, RED RAW (R3D), Video for Windows (AVI, WAV; on Mac OS, requires QuickTime player), Windows Media (WMV, Windows only)

Still-image: Photoshop (PSD), Bitmap, Cineon/DPX (CIN, DPX), GIF, Icon File (ICO), JPEG, PICT, PNG, Targa, TIFF. Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 can also import files of any still-image format as a sequence.

Audio: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC, M4A), AIFF, ASND (Soundbooth Format), QuickTime, MP3, AVI, WAV (on Mac OS, requires QuickTime Player), WMA (Windows only), WAV

Export Formats
Video: H.264, FLV, F4V

Audio: MP3

If you have Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro, or After Effects installed, these additional import and export formats are enabled.

Import Formats
Video: DV100, DV50, MPEG4 part 2, XDCAM HD, JPEG 2000, MJPEG, MPEG2, Uncompressed AVI, VC1

Audio: AMR

Export Formats
Video/Image: MPEG-2, MPEG-2 DVD, MPEG-2 Blu-ray, MPEG-4, P2 (MXF), MXF OP1A (Adobe Media Encoder CS5.0.2), QuickTime movie (MOV; requires QuickTime), Windows Media (WMV; Windows only), Video for Windows (AVI; Windows only)

Still-image: Bitmap (BMP; Windows only), DPX, GIF (Windows only), JPEG, PNG, Targa (TGA), TIFF (TIF)

Audio: AIFF, MP3, Waveform (WAV), Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), AC3 Dolby audio (except After Effects standalone version)

For more information about supported import file formats, see this page in Adobe Media Encoder Help. For more information about supported export file formats, see this page in Adobe Media Encoder Help.

Now when you encode media using Adobe Media Encoder you’ll know exactly the codecs you should expect to see.Share on Facebook

Using Effects as Transitions in Premiere Pro

Posted on August 25, 2011 by kmonahan | Comments (8)

A soft edge wipe can be created with the wipe effect

A soft edge wipe can be created with the wipe effect

Over on Creative Cow’s Premiere Pro forum, user Jaysin Osterkamp asked, “where is the white flash transition in Premiere Pro?” This transition is a common effect used by editors, but is not included in Premiere Pro. So, what do you do in this situation? My advice is to create your own transition using video effects.

There are a couple of ways to create a transition from an effect, one involves the use of transparency to reveal the incoming clip. This typically requires that you overlap the clips on two different video tracks. The other way to create a transition from an effect is to ramp up controls to obscure the incoming clip, then ramp those controls back down to reveal it. In this case, it is not necessary to overlap the clips.

Let’s look at the first way to create a transition from an effect: revealing an incoming clip using transparency. For example, let’s say you want to reveal an incoming clip using an edge wipe with a soft edge. Normally, the Wipe transition would be the one to choose, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, there is no option to feather an edge in a wipe transition, so, now what? One group of effects that is most useful for custom transitions is, yes, the transitions category. In this case, transparency is used to reveal the incoming clip. One of these is perfectly suited for my edge wipe with a soft edge. Here’s how:

  1. Overlap the outgoing and incoming clips. The outgoing clip should be on V2 and the incoming clip on V1.
  2. From Effects>Video Effects>Transition, drag and drop the Linear Wipe on the outgoing clip.
  3. Place the playhead where you want the effect to begin.
  4. Add a keyframe for Transition Completion and leave it set to 0%.
  5. Move the playhead where you want the effect to end, typically at the end of a clip.
  6. Click on Transition Completion and enter 100 to complete the transition.
  7. Move the playhead to be between the keyframes to see the transition reveal the incoming clip.
  8. Adjust the Feather parameter to taste.
  9. Playback the effect and see if you are satisfied with it.

Now, let’s take a look at creating the white flash transition. It is made using the second method: ramping effects up and then back down to reveal an incoming clip. Remember, it is not necessary to overlap clips to pull off this effect. Premiere Pro Help moderator and editor extraordinaire, Ann Bens, provides this recipe for creating the white flash effect.

  1. Add the Fast Blur effect and the Levels effect to each clip.
  2. 10 frames from the end of the outgoing clip, set keyframes for blurriness, RGB white input and RGB gamma.
  3. 5 frames from the end set RGB Gamma to 50.
  4. Now go to the last frame and set RGB white input to 0 and blurriness to 20.
  5. For the incoming clip set keyframes to be the reverse of the outgoing clip. For example, on the first frame set a keyframe for blurriness to 20, and RGB white input to 0, etc.
  6. Playback the effect and make any adjustments, as necessary.

Of course, once you have created these cool new effects, save them as effects presets. For details on doing that, see this page in Premiere Pro Help.

These are just a couple of examples of using effects as transitions. The options are really limitless. Next time you can’t find a certain kind of transition, try building your own using effects.Share on Facebook

Color correcting footage is somewhat of a mystery to many editors. Lots of techniques are involved. There are also the multitude of effects related to color correction, not to mention the confusing array of scopes needed to accurately measure color. Which effects do you use? Which scope displays what? How do you solve problems related to color? Fortunately, Educator, Author and Video Producer, Jeff Sengstack has just released a video tutorial series about these topics, and more, on the Lynda.com website.

All basic aspects of color correction in Premiere Pro are demystified, including primary  and secondary color correction, color limiting, color enhancement and much more. Jeff simplifies the workflow by working from a subset of the full set of color correction tools, focusing only on the most effective ones. The tools of Color Finesse are also covered.

Here are some video excerpts from the series:

Keyboard shortcuts: selecting and toggling panels

Posted on August 5, 2011 by kmonahan | Comments (2)

Use keyboard shortcuts to select the panel you need.

Use keyboard shortcuts to select the panel you need.

While helping users on the Creative Cow Premiere Pro forum the other day, I happened upon a request by a user who wanted to toggle the sequence tabs in the timeline with a keyboard shortcut like he could with Apple Final Cut Pro. At first, I looked all over the manual for such a shortcut but could not find one. The closest thing was to toggle the different windows to the right and to the left. Not exactly what the user wanted!

I then turned to the Premiere Pro engineering staff and was enlightened. I found out that you can toggle tabs in both the Source and Timeline panels by first choosing the shortcut for focusing on that panel, and then repeating the shortcut to toggle to a new sequence or clip.

For example, if you press Shift-3, you will be focused on the timeline panel. By pressing Shift-3 once more, it will toggle to the next open sequence (if multiple sequences are open). Toggle Shift-4 for the Program panel and it works the same way. Pretty cool, eh?

When pressing Shift-2, you’ll be focused on the Source panel. If you have multiple clips loaded into the Source panel, by pressing Shift-2 again, it will toggle to the next clip that you previously loaded. A nice tip is to drag and drop multiple clips into the Source panel all at once. There, they are loaded and ready to be toggled to in an instant.

In other cases, you will need to know the keyboard shortcut to open a specific panel, rather than toggle to it. Here are some handy shortcuts to know, so you can get where you want quickly by using a shortcut.

  • Project Panel: Shift-1
  • Effects Controls Panel: Shift-5
  • Audio Mixer: Shift-6
  • Effects Panel: Shift-7
  • Media Browser Panel: Shift-8
Using keyboard shortcuts to quickly go where you need to can really speed up your workflow. Once you internalize these shortcuts, I’m sure you’ll be editing more smoothly.

Video Production with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5: Learn by Video From Script to Screen with CS5.5

Video Production with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5: Learn by Video From Script to Screen with CS5.5

A new video course from our friends at Learn By Video and Video2Brain has just been released. This video series focuses on the script to screen workflow using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Adobe After Effects CS5.5. It’s called, “Video Production with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5: Learn by Video. From Script to Screen with CS5.5.”

Hosted by Maxim Jago (Getting Started with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5: Learn by Video, Premiere Pro CS5 for Avid Editors, and more), this package contains over 8 hours of in-depth training. Maxim shows you how to start a project with Adobe Story, and then import the script into Premiere Pro. After the story is rough cut, add titles and effects with Photoshop and After Effects. Finally, export your production via Adobe Media Encoder to create video files for the web or media files for Adobe Encore. In Encore, you can author a Web DVD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Integration between creative applications is the key to a smooth post-production workflow, and that’s what these videos are all about. That’s why I like this training series so much. Here are some excerpts to show the kinds of things you’ll learn:

Mouse Scroll Wheel Behavior in Adobe Premiere Pro

Posted on July 21, 2011 by kmonahan | Comments (20)

The scroll wheel on the mouse can be useful to speeding up workflow in Premiere Pro, that is, if you know how to use it. This is especially true if you are switching to Premiere Pro from another application. For example, Final Cut Pro editors are used to using the scroll wheel to move the timeline vertically to see more tracks. In Premiere Pro, the scroll wheel moves the timeline horizontally. This may seem disorienting at first, but you should know that you can use the mouse to scroll vertically. To do this, hover the pointer over the scroll bars in the timeline, then use the scroll wheel on the mouse to move the timeline vertically.

The scroll wheel has an additional function, and that is zooming in and out of the timeline. Sure you can type the = and – keys to zoom into and out of the timeline, but if you hold down ALT (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and scroll with your mouse you can zoom in and out that way. Scrolling down with the modifier key enabled zooms out of the timeline while scrolling up zooms in.

Just a couple of tips for your scroll wheel that should save you time as you manipulate the timeline in Premiere Pro.Share on Facebook

Apple iTunes integration with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

Posted on July 20, 2011 by kmonahan | Comments (5)

These days, more and more stock music providers deliver royalty free music via iTunes. In other NLEs, you’ll typically have to dig around in your iTunes music folder to find the file, convert the mp3 file, move it to a directory with the rest of your media, and finally import the music file into your project. I’ve always found this a rather painful process. How about you?

In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, this process has been greatly streamlined. Let’s see how it’s done. To import iTunes music files, do the following:

  1. Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.
  2. Launch Apple iTunes – the iTunes interface will now be in the foreground.
  3. In iTunes, locate the music file you wish to import into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.
  4. Drag and drop the music file into the project panel. You can drag it directly into a bin, if desired.
  5. The music file will now be available to use in your project.

Though it isn’t a major feature of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, this is a really cool way to get your royalty-free music from iTunes into Premiere Pro with ease.Share on Facebook

Keyboard Shortcuts: Trimming with Premiere Pro (CS4, CS5, & CS5.5)

Posted on July 1, 2011 by kmonahan | Comments (14)

Want to take your Premiere Pro trimming chops to a new level? Then you’ll want to use keyboard shortcuts to trim. Memorizing a few keyboard shortcuts will help you on your way to a smoother editing workflow. Before you reach for the Ripple or Roll tools on your next project, check out the following tips.

In Premiere Pro, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts you can use to trim, including using the Extend Edit and Trim to In Point commands. You can also use an interface specially made for fine trimming, the Trim Monitor.

Extend Edit is in the Sequence Menu in Premiere Pro CS5.5

Extend Edit is in the Sequence Menu in Premiere Pro CS5.5

Let’s first focus on keyboard shortcuts that may assist you in trimming clips in the Timeline. The first you may be familiar with, the extend edit command. An extend edit is one where the edit point will move to the location of the playhead with a keyboard shortcut, which is essentially a roll edit. Since you cannot directly select an edit point in a Premiere Pro timeline, there must be two commands to perform an extend edit: one to move the edit point forward to the playhead and another to move the edit point backward to the playhead. In Premiere Pro CS5.5, these are called Extend Previous Edit to Playhead (E) and Extend Next Edit to Playhead (Shift+E). In Premiere Pro CS5, these are called Roll Previous Edit to CTI and Roll Next Edit to CTI. These do not have assigned keyboard shortcuts, so you must assign them in the Keyboard Customization dialog.

To perform an extend edit, do the following:

  1. Target the tracks you wish to effect in the extend edit.
  2. Park the playhead where you want to extend (roll) the edit point to.
  3. Press the appropriate keyboard shortcut (E or Shift+E).
  4. The edit then snaps to the playhead.

For more info about the extend edit function, see this video by Karl Soulé on AdobeTV: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/short-and-suite/performing-an-extended-edit-in-premiere-pro/

You can also read more about the extend edit function on my blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2011/01/10/using-the-extend-edit-function-in-adobe-premiere-pro-cs5/

Another keyboard driven trimming shortcut is similar to an extend edit, in that a clip’s edit point can snap to the playhead. The main difference being that it will trim the in or out point, and then leave a gap behind rather than rolling the edit point. It’s called “Trim to Playhead”. This is also one that is not already set up as a keyboard shortcut, so you must assign them. Just look for the commands: Trim In Point to Playhead and Trim Out Point to Playhead. I used Control+I and Control+O.

To do a trim to playhead, do the following:

  1. Target the tracks you wish to effect in the extend edit.
  2. Park the playhead where you want to trim the clip’s in or out
  3. point to.
  4. Press the appropriate keyboard shortcut (Control+I or Control+O).
  5. The clip’s in or out point then snaps to the playhead.

Want to trim with greater precision? Then you’ll want to be more familiar with the Trim Monitor.

Before you begin using the Trim Monitor for fine trimming, I like to set up the interface to loop with a keyboard shortcut. Looping is desirable because you can observe the cut a few times before deciding to add or subtract frames. To do so, go to the Keyboard Customization dialog, choose “Panels” and type in “Loop”. You should be able to find the proper command there. I assigned the shortcut to Alt+L (Command+L Mac OS).

Though you can trim with the mouse in this panel, I’ll be describing the keyboard driven workflow, most important to advanced editors.

Here’s how to work with the Trim Monitor:

  1. Park the playhead on or near any edit point.
  2. Press the T key, the Trim Monitor Launches.
  3. Press the Spacebar to begin looping playback. Audio and video will playback repeatedly. Evaluate the cut and decide if either the outgoing or incoming shot needs to have frames trimmed from it or if a roll trim needs to take place.
  4. To ripple trim the edit point, first select the correct side of the edit point you wish to trim. For a roll trim, select both sides of the edit point.
    • To set up a roll trim: press Alt+1 (Option+1 for Mac OS).
    • To set up a ripple trim for the outgoing shot: press Alt+2 (Option+2 for Mac OS).
    • To set up a ripple trim for the incoming shot: press Alt+3 (Option+3 for Mac OS).
    • Once you have set up the trim mode, you should see blue bars above and below the clip(s) you wish to trim.
  5. After the mode is set, choose the amount of frames you wish to trim.
    • To trim backward by one frame, press Alt+Left Arrow (Option+Left Arrow for Mac OS)
    • To trim backward by multiple frames, press Alt+Shift+Left Arrow (Option+Shift+Left Arrow for MacOS)
    • To trim forward by one frame, press Alt+Right Arrow (Option+Right Arrow for Mac OS)
    • To trim forward by multiple frames, press Alt+Shift+Right Arrow (Option+Shift+Right Arrow for MacOS)
  6. Press the Spacebar once more to begin looping playback. Evaluate the cut and repeat steps 4 and 5, if necessary.
  7. If you are satisfied with the cut, you can move to the next cut by pressing the Page Down key. Press the Page Up key to move to the previous cut.
  8. When your fine trimming is completed, close the Trim Monitor by pressing Control+W (Command+W for Mac OS).

Once you have internalized and practiced these keyboard shortcuts, you’ll be able to trim any clip just the way you want to. If you have any trim tips, be sure to place them in the comments and I’ll add them to the article.Share on Facebook
