When using a program that easily handles both it would be equally easy for an inexperienced editor to wind up with something that looks and plays horribly due to unplanned application of 4:3 aspect (640x480 pixels) ratio and 16x9 widescreen with its assortment of  (and the gamut of HD-rated resolutions from 1,280x720 pixels (720p) to 1,920x1,080 pixels (1080i/1080p) for starters). That unplanned outcome could come out looking radically unattractive.</p> <p>And, when applying the range of SD vs HD, high definition has a bounty of recording formats from HDCAM &amp; variants, to DVCPro HD, AVC, XD HD, AVCHD, HDV and others ... you can wind up with a convoluted mess if you haphazardly mix any or all of these ... NOT SAYING this is your intent or the scope of your question, but still.</p> <p>Then, of course, there's the fact that a person can also shoot some type of widescreen with some SD model camcorders, and the resulting playback from all these elements might not work well on the end user's system, which might, or not, have up-res capabilities. Blah, blah, blah ...</p> <p>So, the answer is technically, yes you can (I know nothing about your Premiere Elements 8 or its capabilities for this) but the echo is do you REALLY WANT to do this? Like commercial productions that use old footage, amateur footage, mixed quality to represent footage shot with crappy security cameras, up and down the quality scale in an effort to represent these various elements in the storytelling process, a planned approach might work for mixing these, or dirtying up resource footage to represent one or more types, including SD &amp; HD.</p> <p>So, to goof around, practice and explore the boundaries, there's nothing that says you cannot, and many have in fact done so. But when doing something "serious" or commercial, you might want to establish your reasons for mixing the two an be sure you can make it WORK together the way you intended.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ok-to-mix-hd-and-sd#post-71617 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:14:24 +0000 birdcat 71617@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Different aspect ratios - 16 X 9 vs. 4 X 3 - You're gonna have to crop or letterbox</p> <p>Different resolution - 1920 X 1080 vs. 720 X 480 - You're gonna lose data moving down or lose clarity (and probably add pixelization) moving up.</p> <p>That said, I have done this with acceptable results.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ok-to-mix-hd-and-sd#post-71616 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:29:30 +0000 Bill Dillon 71616@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&nbsp;What would the consequences be?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ok-to-mix-hd-and-sd#post-71613 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 11:20:37 +0000 doublehamm 71613@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>No rules against it, so long as you understand the consequences.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ok-to-mix-hd-and-sd#post-71612 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:10:35 +0000 Bill Dillon 71612@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&nbsp;I haven't tried this but is it OK, technically, to mix HD and SD?&nbsp; I'm using Premiere Elements 8 for editing?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/elements-3-export-problem#post-65217 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 02:46:40 +0000 X The Eliminator 65217@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p> </p> <p>I recently got a new computer and i had to reinstall my software, </p> <p> </p> <p>Now when i export my film from Elements to a WMV file it only produces a top left quater of the film.</p> <p> </p> <p>Why is this happening and how can I fix it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/premiere-elements-8-problem#post-52839 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:14:09 +0000 chuckengels 52839@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Where did the clips come from Steve?  What type of camcorder?</p> <p>Do you know what format the video and audio are?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/premiere-elements-8-problem#post-52827 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 08:06:43 +0000 steve4878 52827@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello, When I transfer video clips in and before I start a project, I can view the video clips and audio.  But sometimes if want to view the video clips in the windows 7 video folder, which I can, but the audio is all buzzing.  The Premier elements 8 software takes a while to boot up and just for quick viewing of the clips I use the Windows 7 video folder.  Why is there no audio in the Windows 7 video folder and just a lot of buzzing?  Thanks, Steve  <a href="mailto:scmason@charter.net">scmason@charter.net</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/elements-7-trial-additional-themes-etc-download#post-50150 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 09:38:26 +0000 chuckengels 50150@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There is a article at muvipix on how to create main and scene dvd menus in the free section</p> <p><a href="http://muvipix.com/products.php?subcat_id=41" rel="nofollow">http://muvipix.com/products.php?subcat_id=41</a></p> <p>Also one on using DVD Markers as well.  That should give you a start.  You will need at least Photoshop Elements to create DVD menus.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/elements-7-trial-additional-themes-etc-download#post-50123 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:28:14 +0000 Murray 50123@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for that.

Lesson learned if your serious about NonLinear Editing, don't use Premiere Elements!</p> <p> Adobe Online Support for Elements and Premiere Pro do not make any reference in either programs online or in Manuals.  With this said I  would not use Premiere Pro because exporting the finished (final rough cut) to Final Cut Pro there are several issues related to creating an EDL.</p> <p>However, I admit this is my limited experience.
