2 project settings questions

Hello again
Still experimenting with PrE8 trial version. This is my first experience with a video editor so learning all from scratch. I have a couple of questions regarding the project setting you need to chose when you create a new project. I understand these settings define the "working" enviroment for the editing process - in other words the resolution and all the other characteristics (format, frame rate, etc) that the project will use
1) I have a camera that´s 1920x1080 30p (progressive) , the GoPro HD. When I look in the new project presets, all 1920 x 1080 presets available seem to be specifically designed for interlaced video. This is indicated by the names of the presets, and by their descriptions as well.  There is only 1 progressive preset, of a lower resolution (720p)
Nevertheless, I tried using the HD 1080i preset, loaded some 1920x1080 progressive mp4 files, and apparently it works perfectly well. In fact when I go to edit>project settings>general window,  the project attributes indicate progressive video !!!
Is there really any difference (or specific requirement)  in a project preset for interlaced vs progressive video? ( I am beginning to suspect that there is really no difference,  and that the coding ( i vs p) does not really form part of the project settings, and that the project will take both forms of input media)
any thoughts on this?
2) The GoPro has a non-standard resolution mode, HD with 4:3 aspect ratio : 1280x960 30p
There is no project setting preset that will match this, how can I create one myself ?
The PrE help says this is possible, but I can't find how. ( Edit>project settings will not let me change the resolution)
from the help
If your source footage requires a custom project preset, you can create one. The procedure for creating a preset differs if you’re changing settings for an open project versus establishing settings for a new project. Presets you create can be applied to new projects, and if you want to back up or distribute  preset files, you can find them in the Settings subfolder of the  Adobe Premiere Elements folder on your hard disk.

Again thanks so much for your time and your help ,  much appreciated.

Unfortunately you will not be able to use the video from those "sports" camcorders directly in Premiere Elements. It's just not compatible with the program.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
As you can see from this FAQ, there are three options for converting the video:
1) Convert it a DV-AVI using MPEG Streamclip. It's a free program, but the DV-AVI it outputs will not be hi-def. It will be standard video, but it will be editable in Premiere Elements.
2) Convert it to a standard def DV-AVI using Quicktime Pro, a $29 download from Apple.com,and edit in Premiere Elements.
3) Use Quicktime Pro to do your editing. The video will remain a high-def MP4.
The best solution, of course, is if the camcorder itself comes with its own editing software. That's software you KNOW will work with the camcorder's footage.
But, short of that, you'll need to use one of the hybrid solutions above. But you will not be able to edit the footage directly in Premiere Elements. Sorry.

  • PRE9 Project Settings questions

    I just got PRE9 and I am working on my first video.  The question I have is
    about project settings and resolutions, etc.  I want to output the video to both DVD and to a file that can be copied to a USB thumb drive and plugged into my l 55in HDTV for playback.  it doesn't have to be HD video, but I do want it in 16:9 widescreen atleast.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    The project setting needs to match your video source (i.e. what you are putting *IN* to PRE9). So what is the source of your clip and what settings did your camera use at the time of shooting? How did you get it into PRE9? Ideally can you run one of your video clips through the free GSpot tool and post the screen shot here.
    Getting your video output to any output (widescreen or standard) is a feature of the Share tab in PRE9. To output it to two formats (DVD and data file for your USB thumb drive) is two separate Shares that will be found under Share> Disc and Share> Computer (or possibly Share> Mobile Phones and Cameras).
    Give us a bit more detail about where and how you want to play that USB thumb drive version.

  • Project settings question from a dummy

    After editing nothing but DV in Premier for the better part of a decade I'm moving into the world of HDV, which creates a myriad of questions. But I'll pose only one.
    I've shot all the footage for the project in 1080i on my XH A1. I want the edited project output in Flash in 720p at 24fps for Web distribution. What should my PP settings be? HDV 1080i 30fps? HDV 720p 24fps? I guess a more macro version of the question is, should the project settings match the source footage or the output format?
    Any insights or guidance would be appreciated.
    Tripp

    Craig's rule is the one we've always tried to use in my job. Maintain the source content's settings for as long as possible, as uncompressed as possible, holding onto as much picture information as you can, then compress to your final output settings.
    For one thing, there's no benefit in changing the source content at ingest to suit export when it's possible you may be asked to;
    a) export to a new, different setting than the one originally scoped.
    b) export additional output files to different settings for other output requirements (iPods, IPTV, etc).

  • Project Settings question

    I'm editing from an external hard drive and every time I close my project, I have to re-link the media clips individually, all 172 of them. Is there a setting that will automatically re-link my clips when i connect to the external drive.

    This Tips & Tricks article might be helpful, when editing to/from external HDD's: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5880839#5880839
    It is likely that you have not assigned a fixed drive letter, for that external HDD, in the OS of your computer. That should fix things, when you do.

  • Getting Started with CFBuilder - A Question About Project Settings

    Hello All,
    I'm just getting my feet wet with CFBuilder and giving it a spin after over a decade's worth of experience with Dreamweaver and I have a question about setting up my work environment.
    First of all, I have two computers that I mainly work from.  My home desktop computer, and a laptop for when I'm on the road.  I keep all of my web site project files syncronized between the two computers using Dropbox.
    I've noticed that when I create a new project in CFBuilder it stores a few files in my project root like ".project" and "settings.xml".  It looks like "settings.xml" stores information about which CFBuilder web server should be used for the project.  Unfortunately this messes things up for me a bit because on my desktop a web site project url might be:  http://desktop/myProject/ and on my laptop the project url could be http://laptop/myProject.
    The reason this isn't a problem in Dreamweaver is because dreamwevaer stores its configuration/preferences outside of my project folders so I can essentially define any testing server I want for both the desktop and laptop.
    Is there a way to configure CFBuilder to store project settings outside of the project folder?  Or does anyone have a suggestion for someone like me who syncronizes their project files from their laptop to their desktop?
    Thanks in advance for helping out a CFBuilder noob.

    I would recommend using a distributed version control system (DVCS) with a hosted service, such as using Git/Mercurial and Github/BitBucket/UnFuddle.  With Git, you can use a .ignore file to specify files/folders that you want to exclude from being stored in version control (I also exclude my CFBuilder project files from my repositories).  You would then sync your local Git repositories with your service of choice, and they would be accessible from any machine. 
    There are many advantages of using Git and a hosted service over just Dropbox:
    Each computer has a complete copy of the code repository, including all code changes over the history of your project.
    You store code modifications in "commits", or small entries in the DVCS.
    Commits can contain user-defined descriptions that help you identify what you did at each step of your development process
    You can roll back commits if you break something in your code.
    You can create "branches" of your code when you want to work on a specific feature of your application, and that branch is kept in isolation from other branches until you are ready to merge it back into the main production code branch.
    You can have public or private hosted repositories on the various services, enabling you to work with a team or participate in open-source development.
    There are Eclipse plugins available for CFBuilder that provide GUI tools for working with Git and hosted repositories (unless you are comfortable with using the command-line to do all your Git interactions).
    I don't think you can separate the project settings from the project in CFBuilder.

  • A question about project settings..FCP 7

    I am using FCP 7 and I'm a little overwhelmed with the myriad of project settings options.
    I use a Canon T3i and film in full HD (1920x1080 i think).  All my footage I transcode in compressor to Apple ProRes 422 before importing to FCP projects.
    I installed another computer and reinstalled FCP 7 and lost my old templates and importing some footage, I get the red line indicating unrendered footage.
    Is there a standard setting that Compressor and FCP use to make it easy to just transcode, import, and edit?  I'd like all my projects to look the best possible in full HD and there's hundreds of preset project settings and I'm a little unfamiliar with all the options.
    Anyone have any quick tips, pointers, or thoughts?

    If you drop a clip into the timeline, it means the sequence settings don't match the clip settings.  Make a new sequence, add the clip. FCP should ask "do you want the sequence to match the clip settings?" Click YES. If you don't see that, you might need to trash your preferences...or it might be an older version that doesn't support ProRes formats (FCP 5.1 and earlier).
    Another way is to choose an EASY SETUP that matches your clip settings, and then make a new sequence.
    And your camera shoots 1920x1080p...not i.

  • Project Setting - Transcoding Settings question

    Hello all,
    I am a bit confused on the Encore settings.    Should I leave them as the default or should I tweak them??    The DVD tests that I have made seem to have a little bit of interlacing during playback in the Sony player that I am using via HDMI to the Sony TV.
    When I check "project settings" in Encore it shows:  Transcode Settings:   Codec MPEG 2, 720x480 Frame Rate 29.97  (my project is 23.976fps)
                                                                                                                  Fields : Lower Field First 
    When I check "edit quality presets"   It shows  Export Settings -  MPEG2 Blu-ray,    1280x720p  23.976
                                                                        Summary:
                                                                        Output:           1280x720 23.976  De-interlaced
                                                                         Source           1920 x 1080  23.98,  Lower
                                                                         Basic Video Settings:
                                                                                                         1280x720,  23.976 
                                                                                                          Field Order  None(progressive)
    I guess It just seem like there is conflicing info with the Fields and with the Frame Rate.
    Is this the way it is supposed to be or do I need to customize the settings?
    Thank you in advance for being nice.

    Stan,
    Ok..just to clarify.  Sorry for the long delay.
       When I start encore and I get the "new project" window,  I select DVD and
    under the transcode settings, it shows Fields: Lower Field First.   
    Is this ok?   I guess I would think it would be None or Progressive
    Thanks

  • Project Settings vs. Encoding and Encore Resolution for BR

    I am editing HDV footage from a Canon HV20.  When I setup my project in Pr Pro I used the recommended
    default HDV project settings.  Hopefully these are correct.  I will be burning a Blu-Ray disc for the project.
    I assume like other products I have used, the best answer here is the native resolution of your source which hopefully is what I am getting.
    Now when I render it via media encoder, it asks me for the "frame size"/resolution for the Blu-Ray disc output.
    Also when opening a new project in Encore, it asks for similar information.  I am in NTSC land.
    I am familiar with the HD standard and resolutions, and the end result of this project is a Blu-Ray disc played on HDTV's.
    However what is the best media encoder resolutoin and encore "frame size" settings for a Blu-Ray disc with an HDV source?
    I saw several articles and videos from Adobe about these settings and they explain what they are, but not what the recommended selections are.
    As a sidenote, once you are working on a project in PP can you change the settings/resolution of the project?
    Thanks,
    BJBBJB1
    PS...Did not know which forum to post this in as it straddles all 3 products!!

    First, thanks to both of you for your help!  Hmmm, I am sure the confusion is on my end....
    Both of you recommend H.264 vs. MPEG 2 for encoding.  If I am rendering a 1 hour 20 minute Blu-ray, for burning Blu-Rays that I need to paly on a white variety of standalone players, what is the better choice and whay?  I was planning on burning to single layer Blu-Ray at best quality. I am also using 5.1 audio.
    For the encoder, I was going to use "HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality" as my rendering preset with MPEG2.
    However now I am wondering if I should be using H.264?  Harm, you mention it and you also mention "square pixels".  I am familiar with this concept due to my photography work and slide shows vs. video, but where is this "square pixel" setting in the media encoder??
    Anna, I appreciate your comment regarding keeping it simple, however, although I am far from a PPro expert, I definitely am into Home Video and understand quality and resolutions, etc., so I want to get the best quality even if I have to do a little work.. So I'll get there.   I see that clicking on that menu item allows you to choose maximum render quality.  I have plenty of RAM but since I am not going SD to HD or SD to HD, perhaps it won't matter much.  However I am confused by the resolution you are showing there, 1440x1080?
    As far as my initial question regarding how to setup my encore project, I may have answered it myself by playing around with the media encoder box.  I opened up the drop down advanced section and I see it presents the frame dimensions there.  I would assume I would use the exact same frame dimensions in Encore when setting up my project.
    So I guess at this point my only decisions are:
    1) What codec should I use when exporting from PPro?  h.264 or MPEG-2.  If it matters, I am using 5.1 audio also.  (thanks for all your help with that Harm months ago, it works great!).
    2)  What resolution to use in media encoder?
    3)  How do I set square pixels?
    4) Once exported, in Encore, is my assumption correct that I will just use the same resolution as exported from P Pro.
    Perhaps that is what Anna was recommending, keep the same resolution and then let Encore render to 1920X1080 however I would want to get all my rendering out of the way during the export process and just keep it all the same in Encore if that is a good workflow.
    Thanks again for all the help!

  • I film with an iPhone and edit in PE10, what project settings would be best?

         So I'm filming a short film with my iPhone 4S, and editing in PE10. The recommended project setting for the iPhone 4S's footage is 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97'. However, I film using an App called FilmicPro, which allows me to customize frames per second, resolution and audio capture with some settings. In my case, I've set the app to film at 30fps and with a resolution of 1920x1080. I still use the above mentioned project setting. So my first question is:
    -If I'm filming in 1080x190 at 30fps, is there a different setting I should be using for the project?
         Now for the second part. The first part of my editing process is I start a project, select 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97', then I splice and string together the raw footage from FilmicPro like normal. Next I export the project with the settings:
    Quicktime (For email and playback on Mac)
    Output: 1920x1080, 29_97fps, Progressive, Quality 100 48000hz, Mono, H.264
    Source: Clip, Sequence 01,
                   1280x720 (1.0), 29_97 fps, Progressive, *insert duration*, 48000 Hz, Stereo
    Audio Codec: AAC
    Sample Rate: 48000 Hz Mono
    Video Codec: H.264
    Field Type: Progressive
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Render at Max. Depth: 24 bit
         After I export the project, I start another project (not changing the project settings from before), and then I import the finished project as media so I can add special FX (in this case muzzle flashes, blood, etc.). However when I add the video, PE10 states the project settings dont match, and asks if I'd like the program to choose the correct settings. I select yes. This changes the project settings to 'DSLR-1080p-DSLR 1080p30'. I edit without issues, and use the same export settings as I did for the base draft. I also notice when I view the project settings in the second project after it changes settings, that it says the editing mode is now 'Sony XDCAM EX 720p'. So my second question is:
    -Should I use the setting that PE10 switches to? Or select 'No' and still use the Flip Mino setting i used for the first draft?
         The end video still looks great (for an iphone), although of course there is still noise. I'm basically trying to get the absolute best quality possible. If this is as good as it gets, and It turns out ive been doing this right, then that's fine. But if anyone can recomend better settings to use, then please tell. Thanks.
    Forgot to mention, I'm using an unmodified MacBook Pro (2006) with Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Dont know if that info is needed, but thought I'd include it.

    Maybe I missed something. So extra post on this.
    You wrote
    Quicktime (For email and playback on Mac)
    Output: 1920x1080, 29_97fps, Progressive, Quality 100 48000hz, Mono, H.264
    Source: Clip, Sequence 01,
                   1280x720 (1.0), 29_97 fps, Progressive, *insert duration*, 48000 Hz, Stereo
    Audio Codec: AAC

    Video Codec: H.264
    Field Type: Progressive
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Render at Max. Depth: 24 bit
    Why? Where did the 720p30 come from?
    If you have 720p30 footage, you should be using
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD LITE 720p30
    If that is what you have, do you really want to export that as 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720?
    If an export of 1280 x 720, please look at
    Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p30
    and change the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab to look like
    Please check out the export settings adjustments that you can make under Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab for the preset that you select.

  • Project settings menu does not appear

    Running OS 10.9.5 and iMovie 10.0.5 on a macbook pro.
    I'm trying to set the aspect ratio of my project.  I have seen several docs and threads that say I should click File->Project Settings and the project settings menu will come up.  However, I can't find that. The file menu does not contain Project Settings or anything like that. Neither do the other pull down menus.
    I have also seen threads describing how when I create a new project (trailer or movie) and there is supposed to be point at which I can select the aspect ratio.  Nope, don't see that either. For example, when I click the big "+" that is used to create a project, I get to choose between a trailer and a movie, then I get to choose a theme, then it asks for a name and I click OK and that's it.
    I have also used Command-J, which is supposed to bring up the properties menu. That does give me the movie properties, but there is no place to choose an aspect ratio. I get the same results, or lack thereof, when I do Window->Move Properties (not surprising since command-J is the short cut key for this).
    Question -- is this supposed to work with 10.0.5?  I have tried to find a later version of iMovie but the only one I found on the apple store site was 10.0.6.
    Any ideas?????

    I have finally found where it is stated that iMovie 10 does not support project properties or changing the aspect ratio.
    I love Apple and would never consider switching to a PD, but really, folks, this is just a plain dumb decision on Apple's part and IMHO reflects the continuing siphoning of quality resources from OS-X/laptops/desktops to iPhone and other gadgets. yuck.
    consider this discussion closed (I don't know how to close  it) and I will fire up my old iMini that has OS 10.6 on it and see if I can get the job done there.
    yuck.

  • URGENT project settings to use when creating broadcast quality television

  • What project settings and export settings to use ?

    So, after some trial and error i give up and need some huge help. (7.0 Pro)
    I have recorded some footage through a game running at 1920:1200 resolution. So the question is what project settings should i choose under project, look at the picture below for example. Some times i get a large black area around the finished video, while one time it came out as a 4:3 vid....
    http://bildr.no/view/468733
    Further more, when i am done editing i want to export it uncompressed to the disk in the same format 1920:1200 (which is 16:10). Which settings should i then choose?
    http://bildr.no/view/468734
    Thx for any help you might be able to provide. Btw! Basically, what i want is just plain editing, no cropping of edges, resizing etc, i just want to take the raw video, edit it, and make a new file out of it with the same properties as the raw vid (source).

    Your pixel aspect ratio and field order are wrong. You want PAR set to "square pixels" and field order set to "Progressive (None)". Do the same for your export settings.

  • Frame size discrepancies in project settings?

    Hi Guys
    I have some new information and some observations on my problems with getting full screen output.
    I looked through all the project settings and I noticed that the ones I was trying to use…
    HD 1080i (60i) and HDV 1080i 30 say that the output is at a16 to 9 ratio and have a frame size of 1440 by 1080i.
    This is the frame size or ratio, I kept trying to import.
    I finally realized that this isn't a frame size that is proportional to the image ratio that it lists.
    16 by 9 would really be proportional to 1440 by 810.
    The 1440 by 1080 video that I import using either of these,does not export full screen even if it’s exported the same size it comes in, i.e.1440 in and 1440 out.
    So I looked through the project setting for a selection where the stated ratio and the frame size matched.
    I found HDV 720p 30.
    16 by 9 at a 1280 by 720 frame size.
    This would be an easy size for my to work in.
    So I made a video at that size then loaded it into PE8 and it exported fine.
    Full screen no border.  In fact it comes out full screen no matter what size I export it.
    When I exported the same video at 1600 by 900 it exported full screen and looked fine.
    Then I went back and loaded the same 1280 by 720 video inthe HDV 1080i 30 settings.
    It also came out full screen with no border.
    So the problem is that as far as I can see the selection screen is wrong about the frame size for both the HD 1080i and the HDV 1080isettings.
    You really have to load in something at 1600 by 900 or proportional to that.
    And as far a I can find there is no setting that supports any thing other the wide screen except for the Standard 48kHz settings.
    It looks like unless you want to go to a wide screen format 720 by 480 is the only option.
    Now I’ll have to decide whether I want to do future projects wide screen or live with the restrictions on frame size.
    I hate to change horses in the middle of the stream so I may just stick with the smaller size for the Lucy videos but other projects I will do wide screen.
    Thanks again for all the help.

    Subject: Re: Frame size discrepancies in project settings?
    Hi Guys
    Ok, I think I get it at last.
    So when I create a 1440 by 1080 file, to use in the 1080i format, it should change the PAR from 1 to 1.333 when I create it, but since I can't control that I get an image that is too small, even though the pixel size is the same.  The aspect ration should still end up 16 by 9.
    So since Poser creates everything with a PAR of 1, my only option if I want a wide screen video is to actually pick a 16 by 9 ratio when I output it and ignore the listed frame size. 
    I still don't quite get why the image is both shorter and narrower, it seems like it should only be narrower but I'll live with it.
    And there is no way to make PE8 output a full height image in the wide screen format that 3 by 4 except to drag it larger in the preview window.
    And there is no advantage in doing that since I'm still using a 16 by 9 window and getting the file size that goes with it.
    So if I want to work in a 3 by 4 format then the Standard 48kHz format it the only option.
    Well at least I know what to do next time.
    That should save a lot of time.
    I may just give up and go to 16 by 9 and quit fighting it.
    Thanks again.

  • Premiere Elements 12, Project settings to burn a DVD

    Hi,
    I'm a little confused about the project settings. I try to burn a DVD of 3 mpg-files. Here is a screenshot of the file info's, also one of the project settings:
    According to the file information, I think the settings are correct, though the timeline shows an orange bar.
    All files have the same informations.
    When I go to finish the project to burn it on a DVD (output setting is PAL_Dolby DVD) it takes at least 14 hours, I don't think this is normal.
    My system is a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.1, 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM.
    Any ideas what is wrong here?
    Thank you in advance.

    Great news with your troubleshooting. Great job.
    Let us now look at what you wrote
    The only thing that's left now is why I'm not able to save a project when I added one of my self created menue template
    from the point of view of
    a. how you created the menu template
    and
    b. where you placed it
    Creation of the menus...
    a. What did you put in the theme folder...just the main menu .psd file and scene menu.psd file or more? What were the exact names that you gave the main menu .psd file and scene menu .psd file? What program did you use to create your menus? We will get to the Layer Set structure in the Layers Palette of the .psd file(s) next if necessary.
    b. I do not have a Mac computer so I cannot talk in terms of .psd file location in Mac. I will now talk in terms of Windows and hope that you can translate the following into the right Mac location for the theme files (assumed also .psd type).
    Local Disk C
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    DVD Templates
    Common
    and, in the Common Folder, create a new folder named My Specials. In the My Specials Folder create a new folder named My XXX Theme. Inside the XXX Theme Folder goes the XXX .psd files and other theme assets.
    In Windows, the menu theme (Slideshow/Pan and Zoom) that comes with the program is found in the above location. The menus that require Content download are in the Windows Program Data path that leads to the Online Folder. I do not want you to use that latter path counterpart in your Mac.
    But let me ask this basic questions...
    a. After you have placed the menu that you created in the computer, when you open Premiere Elements 12, do you see that menu in Movie Menu Display of menu choices
    b. If so, can you click on its choice, hit Continue, and have the theme appear in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
    c. If so, can you Preview the customized or uncustomized menu there and does it look good.
    d. When all is done, how many main menu pages and how many scene selection pages do you have?
    Let us start here, review the above, and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

    Add On...Additional focus may be computer resources, placement of Timeline markers, and spacing between Timeline markers, as well as fine details of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file, whatever else you may be placing in the Theme Folder of the menu that you made yourself.

  • Can't change settings in Project Settings dialog

    Hi,
    I'm using the CS4 version of Premiere Pro and Encore on Windows 7.  I started with footage from an AVC HD camera.  I brought it into Premiere Pro and created a sequence from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset.  This results in a 1920x1080 frame with square pixels.  I then used Dynamic Link to export that sequence to Encore.
    Now, in Encore, if I display the Project Settings dialog, all of the options on the Basic tab are disabled except Authoring Mode (Blu-ray or DVD).  It only lets me create an NTSC, 720x480 project.
    Any idea why Encore doesn't let me select other project settings?

    > what do you need to author to?
    I want to author a "wide screen" DVD.  I'm struggling to understand what it means to author a "standard" vs. "wide screen" DVD.  I just posted a question on that subject in this same forum.
    >  Do you not see those options for a BD Project?
    Curiously, no.  If I select Blu-Ray, the only option it lets me play with is the Codec (MPEG-2 or H.264).  All of the other settings are ghosted.
    I guess what I'm starting to realize is that my project output options are constrained by the source matarial I've imported into Encore.  But I haven't found anything that directly talks about how the zillions of possible source formats interact with the types of output I can generate using Encore.
