Project trimming

Premiere lets you trim away all the video you didn't use, leaving just the source clips you need.

Project>Utilities>Project Trimmer

Then maybe you can save the whole project to just a few DVDs?

Good luck.

Are you capturing using square pixels instead of rectangular? That can throw your aspect ratio off slightly.

Exporting in Premiere

Windows 2000 / Premiere 6 / 1.6Ghz processor with 2 gigs DDR ram

Once I have an edit finished I export it to a Microsoft DV AVI, at which point I can do whatever I need. However some times exporting can take VERY long, or go at almost playback speed. Also, some times the monitor shows the actual point during the exporting, other times it stays on the first frame. Can anyone explain what I am doing differently?

Example: 4 minute finished edit takes 5 mintues to export and shows the current frame on the monitor. 8 minute finished edit takes 45 minutes to export and the monitor stays on the first frame.

Hello:

Brad, do you notice this happening if you render the edit first, then export? Or are you just exporting the work area? This will make a little difference. Also, what is the content of what you're exporting? That can make a difference: long transitions take longer, long still-frame shots take some time (depending on resolution).

2 gigs DDR ram? Wow. I'm jealous!!

Regards,

Well... I got 1 gig :) ... but back to the question. Do you by
any chance perhaps have your DV camera or any other DV
device attached to your computer and powered on? It might
be that it is also exporting over your firewire channel to your
camera (whilst it is *not* recording)... this can take massive
amounts of time.

Are you using any transitions, effects etc.?

It might also just be a badly fragmented harddrive. Defragment
often.

Hmmmm, let's see...

Doconomus, if I am just cutting edits together without any kind of effects, should I still pre-render the work area?

Rob, I do not have a DV camera or deck. I am waiting to check out the new Panasonic 24P camera before I purchase anything. Only 2 months to go! :) I have a very recent fresh install of Win2K and the drives have been defragmented every 2-4 weeks as routine.

Using the two specific examples listed in my first post, the 4 minute finished edit has TONS of video and audio effects and crossfades, but renders very quickly. The 8 minute edit was only a couple of direct cuts and no audio work.

I think it has to do with preview files then. Perhaps you have
previewd a lot of stuff in that other file and Premiere uses those
files for the output as well?

Hello Brad:

Another thought. Make sure that your "Work Area" (the yellow bar on top of the timeline window) ONLY covers the area you want to export. If you have that yellow bar over areas that don't have any video - just blank space - it takes forever to export. This might just be a slip-up on your 8 minute video.

Previewing the work (pre-rendering) I believe is good for, well, preveiwing transitions. Also, its good to do this when you know for certain that you're not going to edit a certain area again. If you render, lets say, the first 4 minutes, then, finish editing the last four minutes, you could pre-render. However, I've always found that just exporting the work all together is usually faster. In fact, I sometimes just export the "Work Area" as my method of previewing. So, all in all, I don't really pre-render anything. I'm not sure if this is a good method, but its what I don't do, and it works.

Regards,

slow motion in Premiere 6.0

Can anyone tell me how to impart slow motion to a clip in Premiere 6.0? I've tried clip>advanced options>interpret footage, and adjusted the frame rate, but although the clip gets stretched out in the timeline, all the action remains at full speed in the beginning of the stretched clip and the rest is black!

Thanks for any insight into this.

Right click clip select velocity. Negative values reverses the clip.

GL1 to Premiere 6 - Format?

Newbie question - Why does the subject appear wider than normal when viewing the clip on the PC?
The clip was shot in Frame mode, auto.
Viewed in NTSC 33 format.
Please help.

Hello:

What is NTSC 33 format? Without knowing what that is, the only thing I can think of is that you shot in 4:3 frame mode and you are exporting the clip as 16:9. Won't that stretch out your subject?

Regards,

Or that you shot in 16:9 but imported the project as 4:3.....

Or you could mean that you can see more in the capturewindow than outputing to your TV.

Reason being that the frame size on a TV is much smaller than that of full DV quality resolution.

All the best,
