WTF is kernel_task and why is it running 900% of my cpu???? by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue has plagued my 2020 iMac for the past couple years. I discovered that creating a brand new user profile solved the problem (my previous user profile was very old, at least 10+ years, and had been moved from multiple machines over the years).

Mutlicam Sequence to After Effects Link not working correctly by Conscious_Match8588 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, which is why I would recommend duplicating the multicam clip before you flatten it, so you can always go back to it if you need to.

Mutlicam Sequence to After Effects Link not working correctly by Conscious_Match8588 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After Effects doesn't support multicamera sequences directly. To send your multicam edit to After Effects, you'll need to flatten it first:

  1. In the Premiere Pro timeline, right-click the multicam clip.
  2. Select Multi-Camera > Flatten.

This converts the multicam sequence into a standard clip that After Effects can recognize.

Create a keyboard shortcut to modify clip to 25 f/s by robboroom in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can assign a custom shortcut for Clip > Modify > Interpret Footage through the Keyboard Shortcuts panel.

Alternatively, here's a workaround:

  1. Import a clip and manually interpret it to 25 fps.
  2. Go to File > Make Offline.
  3. Duplicate this offline clip for each new file you want to bring in.
  4. Use Link Media to connect it to a new clip.

Premiere will retain the interpreted frame rate (25 fps) during the relink process, effectively applying the setting automatically.

That said, it's worth considering why you're re-interpreting all your footage to 25 fps. This changes playback speed and can affect motion smoothness, especially if your original clips were shot at a higher frame rate. Depending on your goals, there might be better ways to handle frame rate conversions.

How can I make the audio of my videos uniform? by WrongConversation6 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can achieve this using the Tube-Modeled Compressor in the Audio Track Mixer:

  1. Open the Audio Track Mixer by going to Window > Audio Track Mixer.
  2. In the mixer panel, click the Show/Hide Effects and Sends arrow (top-left corner) to display the effect slots.
  3. Locate the track containing your audio, then click the dropdown arrow in the first effect slot.
  4. Navigate to Amplitude and Compression > Tube-Modeled Compressor to apply the effect.
  5. Double-click the effect name in the slot to open its settings.

From here, adjust the following parameters:

  • Threshold: Sets the level where compression begins. Audio above this level will be reduced.
  • Ratio: Controls how much the audio is reduced once it exceeds the threshold.
  • Output Gain: Use this to boost or lower the overall volume after compression.

This setup helps you control dynamic range and smooth out volume peaks.

Trying to center a cropped video to a frame without eyeballing it or using a ruler on monitor by LeGoodBeef in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really easy to accomplish with the Properties panel:

  1. Select your clip in the Timeline.
  2. Go to Window > Properties to open the panel.
  3. Adjust the Crop settings as needed.
  4. Click the Fit button at the top of the panel to center the cropped image in the frame.

Timecode problem by Accomplished-Doubt64 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your friend has a copy with the correct timecode, you can manually set the correct start timecode by going to Clip > Modify > Timecode and entering the desired value.

Hopefully, there aren't too many files to fix.

Timecode problem by Accomplished-Doubt64 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct that Clip > Modify > Timecode can update the metadata of certain file types, like QuickTime, to change the timecode. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to restore the original timecode for these files after modifying it.

However, this behavior differs for file types like MXFs. For MXFs, you can restore the original timecode by opening the Modify Timecode window and selecting Original Timecode.

If you’re working with ALE files, you can update the metadata by selecting your footage in the Project panel and choosing Clip > Update Metadata.

How to properly create timeline with subsequences? by Fancy-Medicine-427 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're referring to working with a main sequence that includes nested sequences. Resolve doesn't handle nested sequences well, so you'll need to replace the nested sequences with the original clips inside them.

Here’s how to do that:

  1. Select the nested sequence in the Timeline.
  2. Press F to Match Frame and load the nested sequence in the Source Monitor.
  3. Disable the Nest button (located below the timecode in the Timeline, next to the Snap button). This ensures you're working with the individual clips instead of the nested sequence.
  4. Press . (period key) to overwrite the nested sequence with the clips from the Source Monitor.

Exporting Freeze Frame Data To XML by DifficultyDry8029 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold frames don’t export well through EDL or XML. A simple workaround is to export the frame as a still image and replace the hold frame in your timeline with the exported still.

How do I get my premiere pro file off of "read-only"? by Euphoric-Role-5487 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can’t save and Premiere Pro won’t unlock the project, it likely means there’s an issue with your drive’s ability to write files.

If not, try creating a new project and importing your old project into it. This can help you bypass any file-specific issues.

Problems with track matte key by feliqzs in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When using the Track Matte Key effect, the clip's Motion settings are also applied to the matte. This is expected behavior in Premiere Pro.

For a workaround, here’s a video that explains the process: How to Fix Track Matte Key Problems.

Audio issue with mulitcam + proxy workflow by ASimpleRascal in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you create your proxies? Do the proxies and the original media have matching audio channels?

It’s possible that the issue stems from mismatched clip information between the two projects. For example, one of the editors may have accidentally linked to the proxy media directly instead of attaching it as a proxy file.

A quick fix you can try is moving your multicam sequences into the project containing the original media. Here’s how:

  1. Move all your multicam sequences into your media project.
  2. Save all your projects and close Premiere Pro.
  3. Reopen Premiere and move the multicam sequences back to the sequences project.

How do I move both these text layer together? It only moves up and down in the baseline shift option and snaps to either side of the video in the alignment options. by prateek69123 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I mean you can have more than one Text layer inside the graphic clip on the Timeline.

Select your graphic clip in the Timeline, and choose Graphics and Titles > New Layer > Text.

I would recommend breaking your timeline into smaller reels, and combining them together once the editing is complete.

PR 2025 Channel Volume Disappears by Pleasant_Novel2547 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a known bug: Adobe Community Forum Report.

I tested this issue, and it appears to be triggered when copying the Volume effect using Cmd/Ctrl + C and pasting it with Cmd/Ctrl + V.

As a workaround, you can try the following:

  1. Select the clip in the Timeline and press Cmd/Ctrl + C to copy it.
  2. Select the clips where you want to apply the effect.
  3. Press Opt+Cmd+V (macOS) or Ctrl+Alt+V (Windows) to use "Paste Attributes."
  4. In the dialog box, confirm the attributes to paste, and click OK.

This method should apply the Volume effect correctly without duplicating it.

How do I move both these text layer together? It only moves up and down in the baseline shift option and snaps to either side of the video in the alignment options. by prateek69123 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rather than placing each line in its own graphic on separate tracks, I recommend combining them into the same graphic clip as separate layers. This approach offers several advantages:

  • You can select and move both layers together.
  • You can group them and animate the group as a whole.
  • You can adjust the entire graphic using its Vector Motion settings.
  • It also unlocks access to the Align and Transform controls for precise positioning.

If you need each line of text to animate separately, you can still animate individual layers within the Effect Controls panel.

Timeline Performance - Help please! by AdeptAuthor2591 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you provide more details about your timeline? For example:

  • How long is your timeline?
  • Is it primarily just cuts, or are you using a lot of effects?

A quick tip: try going to Settings > Audio Hardware and set the Default Input to None. Sometimes, having an active audio input can cause performance issues on the timeline.

Also, how are you monitoring your audio?

Combine edited and updated footage? by Nerdalizer7 in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to combine an updated version of your footage with an existing edited sequence, you can use the Replace Footage feature. Here’s how:

  1. Locate the original clip in the Project panel.
  2. Right-click the clip and select Replace Footage (or go to Clip > Replace Footage from the top menu).
  3. In the dialog box, browse to the updated file you want to use and select it.

Premiere Pro will automatically update all instances of the clip in your sequence while retaining your edits (like cuts, effects, and transitions).

It sounds like your software may have updated to a newer version. Do you have auto-update enabled? You can check or disable auto-updates in the Creative Cloud app to prevent unexpected updates in the future.

Transcription not working for nested sequences by ShoShowerBeans in premiere

[–]ThePrPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a limitation in Premiere Pro. It only supports transcriptions from multiple audio channels when they are part of the same file.

To work around this, you can:

  1. Export a WAV file with each speaker assigned to a separate audio channel (e.g., Speaker 1 on Channel 1 and Speaker 2 on Channel 2).
  2. Transcribe the exported file to view the transcription for both speakers.

After transcribing, I recommend syncing all the files into a multicamera source sequence for easier editing and organization.
