Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2004

Jose di Cani · October 29th, 2004, 09:02 AM

Before editing a new movie, start up premiere......choose NEW, then you will have lots of options where you can decide the resolution of your proyect. Import your video sample. Doesn't fit, huh? well, go back to you menu and choose properties for the composition and resize it. YOu can also look for info about yje ovie you want to import, write these down on paper. Then choose new, and type these dimensions over into the box.

Good luck

import 16:9 to yoru proyect> render movie> choose 4:3 pulldown.

HI

I started premiere with the same setting as used in the video I imported. The video has no visual problems whatsoever. Evrything is clean and great. Then I import it and then I see interlaced-kind-of visual problems...straight edges around fast moving objects. That is weird. I haven't appplied any effects in adobe and still adobe gives a not-true representation of the imported video. Weird.

video: 25 fps, 48 kz , 90 min

any tips?

Jose di Cani · October 30th, 2004, 06:00 AM

thanks for the info. I understand that an imported file in pc will always LOOK interlaced and edgy. SO ow to the profesionals make a video with their xl2 or pd150? They use pc's as well, don't they? SO they will also see interlaced artifacts whatever video you import (24, pal or 30 fps).

Where did you get the video? From the Internet? You wrote "import" and not "capture".

What kind of video is it. PPro does not take well to MPEG video.

Hi, Folks...

I'm having a problem exporting my timecode along with the timeline out of Premiere Pro to my Canon ZR40.

When I export, the camera ignores the timeline's timecode and starts fresh from 0. Is there a way to send the timecode out or am I just out of luck here?

Thanks a lot in advance.

They have been AVI video. I've tried both AVI that I have captured and stock AVI videos. Thanks for the info that Premiere Pro doesn't take well to MPEG video. Though that's not the problem in this case, it's still useful information.

Steven Gotz · October 31st, 2004, 09:14 PM

Perhaps it is the DirectX causing a problem. Premiere Pro uses an overlay to show the video in the monitor window.

Try turning down your hardware acceleration one step. You should find the setting in the troubleshooting section of the advanced settings of the screen properties.

Unless you have a Rolls Royce set up with memory and dual processing power, the video will not play back at full speed and resolution. I have Adobe Video Collection Pro and I get pristine results when I author to DVD via MPEG2. So try going to DVD and check your results there, just to be sure.

Rob Lohman · November 1st, 2004, 06:19 AM

I think that is the camera's choice, although I'm not quite sure.
Double check your camera/premiere settings and manuals to see
if it is an option somewhere. Otherwise I don't know. The general
idea is that DV timecode is not very robust, so I wouldn't be
surprised if it did it this way.

George Gerez · November 1st, 2004, 01:28 PM

I am having a strange problem. While playing back content in the timeline I keep getting ever 10 seconds or so a 2-3 second audio drop. where no sound is heard.. its extreamly annoying to say the least.. The video is fine.. but the audio keeps on stoping.

The maching is brand new with running Premiere 1.5 and a Canopus DV storm 2 Pro board. Running the latest Windows XP with Service pack 2.

Can anyone help?

Rusty Williams · November 1st, 2004, 03:05 PM

Thanks, Rob... I took your advice and pored over the manuals and all online info I could find on camera & software. - I believe you are right; it just ain't gonna happen. :-)

Oh well, I've got a plan "B" to try, so I think that's next.

Thanks!

Randall Hall · November 1st, 2004, 03:22 PM

Thanks, again. But this didn't change things. It remains that if I drag the Monitor Window around I get video; the second I stop, freeze frame. If I don't drag it around then the first frame only is shown and then I get a black screen.

Daniel Gast · November 1st, 2004, 10:28 PM

I'm assuming this is something done in Premiere. I've never had the problem before, but fast motion is causing the lines to appear quite badly on my low-light footage. How do I de-interlace the footage? Does it have to be done with the camera, or are my suspicions correct that it's somehow done in exporting?

I'd love to know, I hate those lines :)
