should be able to just drag them into the timeline.  The resolutions are different, of course, but I still stretch them to fill the screen most of the time and it looks okay in the end.  The only issue is whether you have the right codec to decompress the footage and get Premiere Pro to recognize it in the first place.  If you can open the DV footage in Premiere Pro at all, you should be able to mix and match all you want.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/editing-in-adobe-premiere-cs4#post-72423 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:53:00 +0000 G

I keep adding files and the final project I also like naming it "FINAL NAME OF PROJECT" in capital letter so I can differentiated it from the others quickly. I back up my projects along with all the media (videos, songs, pictures) in one folder on a external hard drive (usually copy-paste the project folder from the computer hard drive to the external). I make sure I have all the media in the project folder (even if I have to duplicate the media files) then I delete everything from my computer hard drive and spend some time telling Premiere were are the new files located. When I need to see the project again I open it directly from the external hard drive. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/workflow-best-practices-project-backup#post-56389 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:28:47 +0000 CraftersOfLight 56389@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> As far as naming the project files, I start my first save with <em>Project_0001</em>. this after i pull in all the resources, clips, audio, etc., I think I am going to need. After that each editing session becomes the next in sequence <em>_0002</em>, <em>_0003</em>, etc. When I get to the point where I think I am done I will save it as the next record number as well as to a Final Version sub-folder under the project folder with <em>Project_YYMMDD</em> (year, month, day) this becomes a golden file and I do not touch it again until I render it to playable file or DVD. </p> <p>I let that sit for a while (a few days at least) and come back to review it with "fresher eyes". I know the last file in both folders are the same so if more edits are required I open the last _00XX file edit and save as next _00xx and a copy to the Final Version sub-folder.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/workflow-best-practices-project-backup#post-56372 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 09:29:52 +0000 2ten 56372@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I did the external drive backup for a long time and still do but no longer take the drives offsite.  I use an online based backup that continuously backs up any drive (and/or folder(s)) you choose. I won't mention the name here because I am not advertising for them but I have used it successfully for 2 years now.  If the entire machine dies, or worse, you can simply restore all files to another computer.  They recently even added remote access to the files (since they are backed up continuously) it is like having remote access to your primary computer.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/workflow-best-practices-project-backup#post-56367 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:32:09 +0000 pseudosafari 56367@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> When you save in Adobe, or any software, really, just save it on the data drive.  For example, I have a folder for Adobe, with subfolders for Premiere, Photoshop, Flash, etc. I save the project files in there.  If I reformated and opened up one of those project files, it would automatically open all the related files and restore all my edits, as long as the data drives and folders are the same.  You wouldn't change folders, but just make sure the drive letters haven't changed, either.  If they do, you can either change the drive letters back through Manage in My Computer or you can "lead the way" for Adobe on each clip to find it.  The latter is kind of a pain.</p> <p>I've actually done it--I had to reformat once because some free software I downloaded screwed up my codecs.  After hours of trying to fix it, I realized it was just easier to reformat.</p> <p>As for file names, I like the "double FINAL" name, and I've seen those, too.  It seems like there was a Videomaker article on naming files.  I could not locate it on this site, but I might not be typing in the right keywords.  Closest I could find was this: <a href="http://www.videomaker.com/article/14192/">http://www.videomaker.com/article/14192/</a>  (which is still a good read but not what you're looking for exactly).</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/workflow-best-practices-project-backup#post-56361 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:21:46 +0000 Orpheus 56361@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for your input!  Along these same lines, let's say that the main HD fails and you have to reformat.  From a fresh install, you load Adobe CS4 back on.  Specifically, how does one go about pulling back into Premiere the project files and assets?  How should these be saved on the secondary HD?  Would I simply go to open a project, browse to the project file and it will all come together? Or do I have to individually pull in the assets again?</p> <p>Also, let's say I have saved many versions / cuts as I've worked on it.  Does anyone have a good naming system that they use?  Such as "Rough Cut 1A Film Festival Project" etc...?  I always seem to end up with names like "FINAL FINAL USE THIS, THIS IS GOLD COPY" or something similarly absurd.

On two of the Macbook Pros I installed CS4, I had to go back and reinstall a couple of applications. Keep your machine lean try not to install a bunch of applications that you don't need. Up your ram to 4 GB. Upgrade your hard drive to a 500 GB 7200 rpm drive. Use an external firewire 800 raid for all your video work. I made all these mods to my Macbook Pro and it made a great editing machine, even with HD footage. If you are doing a lot of HD footage consider the Matrox Mini with the express card, I haven't done that because my son ran off to university with my Macbook Pro so I replaced it with a iMac. I wish I bought another Macbook Pro.

I realized that it was saving the video up to the point where the AVCHD format first shows up. Sooo i copied my work and in the copy took out all the AVCHD material and walla .. it encoded. </p> <p>My question/problem:</p> <p>Is there any export settings or sequence settings that will allow me to have both formats in my timeline and still be able to encode the movie/scene?
