I've been shooting in 1080p at 25fps. I rendered a 75 minute project as .h264 at 1080p and thought that the final product was a bit jerky and somehow looked overexposed on my Samsung LED. I changed settings twice (720p, mpeg4) but I'm really confused at the files that were produced and the fact VLC can't read them. At various times there seem to be separated audio and visual files ( I tried .h264 bluray so I'm sort of comprehending that will need to be authored). All I really want to know is a good method of inputting my Nex files and turning out a file that I can play from a hdd and/or author as a bluray or DVD disc. We're PAL in OZ by the way. If you can help that'd be great.

My video production is about 5 times faster as on my old quad i5, 8GB RAM. To work in After Effects is a dream. All effects can be watched in real-time. Premiere Pro uses the Mercury Engine via the GTX580 that enhances the speed significantly. My system is 100% stable. When scrubbing fast on the timeline on my old computer, premiere pro crashed once in a while. Not anymore. Whatever I do now - is rock solid!!! I was especially surprised about the GTX580. I use 2 Monitors (Dell 3011 with 2560x1600) and (Dell 2408 with 1920x1200) on the same GTX580. I didn't believe it that I can run both Monitors with 32 bit color and 60Hz refresh-rate. This is a real dream for video editing to have that much real-estate, especially when working in HD. Premiere Pro 5.5 is just an incredible software. I just recently did a project with 4 different HD formats and 25fps and 30fps frame rate. No problem. The timeline takes it all and on the final output there is hardly any difference. With my old computer I had all this red rendering frames on top of the timeline. They are now yellow instead. Most filters and transitions do not require rendering and can be watched in real time. Over all, I'm very happy with the system. Thanks to Maingear, the computer manufacturer and Adobe with the new edition of PP CS5.5 System value: about 4K$ (Computer only).

The presentation movie is in 4:3 (movie B). I have to edit the 16:9 clip and incorporate it into the 4:3 movie. What I have tried makes clip A figures, text, etc. look tall and skinny. How can I keep the aspect ratio so it will look good and fit in movie B? I don't know what to do. What would the workflow be, step by step e.g. insert clip A then add text and effects, add text and effects then insert clip A, other? I have After Effects available if that would help accomplish what I need. Thank you for your time.

I've searched the forums a bit for a problem similar to mine, but i can't seem to find anything similar or I just don't know what the "keyword" is to find that golden thread with my answer. Anyway, I'm having a problem when I import an .avi file and take a clip from it and drag it to the timeline and then render it. It's very pixelated and isn't nearly of the quality of the original video. What setting have I screwed up that is causing this problem?

I have already learned so much here just by reading through the forums and blogs. But I have not been able to find a solution to this: My producton is about a cricket match. In the background is a brick wall, and the foreground is a player getting padded up (ready for their game-saving knock!). I want to do the following: 1. Have a title ('our hero dons his armour') that looks like it is spray-painted on the brick wall and remains perfectly still despite a little (deliberate) camera movement; and 2. Additionally, I would like some of the foreground element (another person assisting in the padding up) to obscure the title. What do I need to do to achieve this effect? I also have After Effects if that helps in achieving this vision....

When I try to import it into P.Pro 1.5 into an NTSC session, it will not import, probably because of the unusual frame size?? (dont know for sure). I am trying ultimatley to produce a PAL Mpeg2 file so I can later auther it in Encore. I use a program called ''ConvertXtoDVD3" which I can succesfully convert the original AVI file to a PAL Vob file. Then I use a program called 'MagicConverter' to convert the new Vob file to Mpeg2 with :720x576, 25fps. The resulting Mpeg2 file plays on windows media player, although now it says it's only 16minutes long. I then create a PAL session in P.Pro 1.5 and import the new Mpeg2 file. It imports fine, however it now says the duration is only 16 minutes even though it should be 100mins. Also if I try to edit it in any way, all the audio comes out of sync and the whole thing seems to play random parts of the video. Can anyone tell me why this new Mpeg2 file I've converted will not work in P.Pro and the timings and everything is off????

Which is the best format to convert it so as to keep the best quality ( I have tried mpeg and it is not good quality)??????? And again with premiere pro,as I am quite novice in editing,how do I do to cut the film into clips? I have tried the razor tool,then delete the non needed part, but it does not seem to be the right step!!! Please share your Knowledge with me on the matter because I really want to do it myself!!

Apparently this is what their playout system works with. At the moment, due to file transfer time deadlines and size limits, I am sending my files as mpeg... avi takes ages to send thru FTP. The files are 15-20 minute long and for actual TV broadcast... However, they then need to convert it into their .dv format to be able to play it out... Now: 1- I know I'm losing quality when I export as mpeg, but is there any further loss when they convert into .dv? 2- Does Premiere Pro CS3 support .dv? Is there any way that I can export the project as a .dv file within Premiere Pro to avoid any further quality loss? 3- Also, any other suggestions to export the footage with a better qualkity is more than welcome. Here are the export settings I use for Adobe Media Encoder: FORMAT: MPEG2 TV STANDARD: PAL FRAME SIZE: 720x576 FRAME RATE: 25 FIELD ORDER: NON PROGRESSIVE PIXEL ASPECT RATIO: 16:9 (1.422) PROFILE: MAIN LEVEL: MAIN BITRATE ENCODING: CBR 8Mbps GOP SETTINGS: M FRAMES 3 - N FRAMES 12 Thanks for all the thoughts...

This was possible with PPro 2.0. Now PPro CS3 stops playing the footage, be it in the source window or timeline, as soon as I click on something else. Basically, no playback when PPro window is inactive... I am getting a bit annoyed as most of the time I need to play my footage in PPro while typing notes/script etc in another application. Any ideas how to sort this out? Thanks.

It is time consuming if you are using the template over and over again... So if I can save the title template with the transition already applied, this would make life easier...

I encounter a problem when i try to edit mpegs that were shot on a point and shoot camera. The problem is it throws everything out of whack, audio and video. My guess is because since it was shot on a point and shoot camera. The normal settings(standard 48Khz) arent the right frame rate for it. Would anyone know how i can get around it? Programs like movie maker works with them. The files im trying to edit are MPg. Thanks for your time. If you could help i would be grateful. B.

Part I - Introducing Matrox RT.X2 LE What is the difference between Matrox RT.X2 LE and other capture cards? Matrox RT.X2 LE is a real-time hardware accelerator. This means that it is far more powerful then just a simple Input/Output capture card. With Matrox RT.X2 LE you get real-time performance that goes beyond what you can accomplish from software alone. Can I edit HDV footage with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on its own? Why doI need a Matrox RT.X2 LE? Although Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 software alone can edit HDV footage, it's not going to give you the same smooth, quick editing environment you are used to with DV footage. Not only does HD footage contain more pixels and bits of information, the compressions used put a huge burden on your systems resources. Matrox RT.X2 LE alleviates this burden and editing HDV footage is a breeze. It is BETTER because it is real-time! So what exactly do you mean by real-time? Matrox RT.X2 LE hardware allows you to play back multiple layers of HD video and graphics directly from the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 timeline without rendering. That includes adding filters, transitions and special effects. That's something that software can't do on its own, even with the fastest quad core computers. For example; our DIY 6 Quad Core machine with Matrox RT.X2 LE can play back a timeline that includes two layers of HDV video with a slow motion filter on one layer and color filters on the other, as well as a graphic overlay. This plays back in real-time, directly from the timeline, with no rendering!
