MP4 recording can't be imported in Adobe Premiere (recorded with v2.2 or v2.3)

Open TKooijmans opened this issue 4 years ago • 12 comments

When I setup a recording like this ADD 1 FILE "myfile 1.mp4" -codec:v libx264 -crf:v 23 -preset:v veryfast -filter:v format=pix_fmts=yuv420p,tinterlace=4 -flags:v +ildct+ilme -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -ar:a 48k

I get a mp4 file with 8 channels audio. This file does not import in Adobe Premiere, only audio is accepted not video. Are the ffmpeg parameters changed again? Are there good examples for stereo or 4 channel recordings? This worked with v2.1

Expected behaviour

mp4 should be fine for Premiere

Current behaviour

Premiere cc2019-2020 only accept audio not the video

Steps to reproduce

1.record a mp4 file with above settings 2.try to import in Adobe Premiere 3. ...

Environment

  • Server version: [2.2 and latest 2.3]
  • Operating system: Windows 10

This is a working command for stereo recording, this is not accepted with video by Adobe Premiere however......(HD1080i50) ADD 1 FILE "myfile 1.mp4" -codec:v libx264 -crf:v 23 -preset:v veryfast -filter:v format=pix_fmts=yuv420p,tinterlace=4 -flags:v +ildct+ilme -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -ar:a 48k -filter:a pan=stereo|c0=c0|c1=c2

What video-mode is the channel running in?

If it is something non 50p or 50i it might help forcing the number of frames to 50 first with fps=fps=50

it's 1080i50, (1080i5000) if I set 720p2500 or 720p5000 I get the same problem. The resulting mp4 file seems to play fine in VLC but does not import in Premiere with the video codec.

see attachment myfile plaback 2 clip.zip

fps=50 does not fix this problem. in the attachment a Adobe h264 export

If I test this command direct on FFMPEG in the CasparCG directory the resulting file is compatible with Adobe Premiere. So CasparCG 2.2 and 2.3 created a problem with File consumer!

This is ok for Adobe (run in cmd prompt from Decklink input 1080i50) ffmpeg -f dshow -video_size 1920x1080 -pixel_format uyvy422 -rtbufsize 200k -framerate 25.00 -i video="Decklink Video Capture" -f dshow -i audio="Decklink Audio Capture" -map 0:v -map 1:a -filter:v format=pix_fmts=yuv420p -flags:v +ildct+ilme -codec:v libx264 -crf:v 23 -preset:v veryfast -r 25 -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -ar:a 48k test.mp4

this is not ok with Adobe, video is ignored ADD 1 FILE "myfile 1.mp4" -codec:v libx264 -crf:v 23 -preset:v veryfast -filter:v format=pix_fmts=yuv420p,tinterlace=4 -flags:v +ildct+ilme -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -ar:a 48k -filter:a pan=stereo|c0=c0|c1=c2

I encountered the same issue. I will try to find a workaround in the meantime, but we used this feature a lot with 2.0.7.

Even with new versions of Premiere this is still not solved; perhaps the new FFMPEG version will help with this issue?

I don't know what this problem is, both files shown with mediainfo don't give me a clue..... Untill this is fixed we use CasparCG 2.1 to record files

Heb je dit probleem nog ooit opgelost gekregen. Wil opnemen in mp4, en verwerken in adobe premiere. VLC speelt wel af, maar adobe premiere niet.

Nee, tot nog toe is het nog niet opgelost, ik gebruik CasparCG 2.1 voor opnames in mp4

Ben ook al zo ver dat ik nu 2.1 gebruik. Mag ik weten welke ADD 1 FILE ....... commando je gebruikt voor het opnemen van een MP4 file? heb er al verschillende geprobeerd, maar gebruik telkens de verkeerde toevoegingen. Jan Hein

perhaps this has changed with https://github.com/CasparCG/server/commit/670bec33e704d7951192dfe8a63787bf38c6a49c? Its a long shot, but that change doesnt look specific to rtmp streams

I can confirm that with latest 2.4 premiere 2018 is able to import these files, but is unable to import one produced with the same command from 2.3.2
