24P Playback and Project settings

I'm a Final Cut guy switching to Premiere Pro CS5.5 and have legacy files to edit. I"m trying to figure out the best project settings (Mac Based)
Bringing in Pro Res files 1920 x 1080, 24p. I have a Black Magic Decklink Studio with most current drivers.
I don't seem to see a project setting that allows me to run my video out to an external monitor on a 24p sequence. Now in Final Cut I can edit the 24p files on a 24p timeline and still playout thru the BMD card. I guess it does the pulldown. I assumed it would in PPro as well?
I can setup a project in CS5.5 at 29.97 but then my sequences need to be rendered.
I must be missing something but can't seen to get the right settings... Help!
thanks
Ben Kupfer

Drop a clip onto the "new item" icon at the bottom of the project panel an Premiere will make the appropriate timeline for you.
Use playback setting to pick your external monitor and you should be set.

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.

Project settings for mixing AVCHD and iPhone video

Hello,
It seems that getting the correct project settings is imporant to Premiere, but what if I would like to mix AVCHD video with iPhone 3GS video? Which project settings would I select in this case?
Thank you.

This question aroused my curiosity and I tried mixing 1080i AVCHD and Nokia phone .3gp video on an 1080i AVCHD timeline in PE8 - the 3gp video played fine, the AVCHD video needed the timeline rendered to give a decent quality playback. I realise that's different from iPhone video, but I'm simply suggesting that it's worth trying, and that project presets don't necessarily mean that only the preset file type will work.
I have to say that this whole project settings thing is a mystery to me. Why does a 1080i AVCHD preset make a better job of playing back 3gp video from the timeline than it does playing back 1080i AVCHD? Weird. Why not just handle all that in the background (eg without asking the user for any settings at all, like one NLE here does, or simply setting the timeline to the first clip of the project (optionally) like another one here does?
As for the comment earlier on about background rendering - here (after a day or so) it seems to be not a very useful thing. Much grinding by the CPU for a very slow result. To get the timeline to play smoothly it's much quicker to position the work area bar as required and hit "enter". Also, one has to watch for the new analysis process, which once started seems to create an everlasting CPU intensive process even if you cancel it. You have to keep a sharp eye on the process manager and see what's consuming CPU cycles (if you don't know already) and kill any apparently rouge Adobe-related processes by hand. "Bmem" is your friend here, which is about the first thing I install on any PC of mine - badmofo.org/bmem is the site for this excellent freeware app.

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!

App-V 5.0 // Visio - Project with Integration + local Office 2010 Deployment Kit and COM settings

Hi, I did read all the Microsoft and non-microsoft documentation first. However, I didn't find an answer to these 3 questions:
Situation:
* Locally installed Office 2010.
* Visio and Projects 2010 sequenced with App-V 5.0 SP3 sequencer with integration scenario (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830069)
* User-target of Visio and Project (I now according to documentation this should be published globally. Since not every user has a license this is no option. So far my tests do not show any problems with user-targeted visio/project)
* Visio has "allow COM objects to interact with the local system" and "OutOfProcessEnabled" enabled
1) When targeting both visio and project to the user with integration the licensing component only works for the first started application. Therefore I also install the licensing kit locally which make both the visio and project licensing work just fine.
Anyone sees a problem with having the license kit installed locally and stream the applications with integration on top? With my tests all seems to work well. The advantage of this is that I do not have to have separate packages for integration and non-integration
scenario's.
2) To make drag-and-drop from visio drawings in word work I enabled the COM interaction and I need also to set OutOfProcessEnabled="true". Does anyone now how to set OutOfProcessEnabled to true inside the .appv (it is possible with application
virtualization explorer) and not only manually afterwards in the xml's?
3) Should these COM settings be enabled for project as well? It seems that pasting in word from project has not the same interaction, it just pastes a table.

1. We did similar, installed that MSI for the licensing component locally, and streamed Project and Visio 2010, and so far so good.
2. There is no way to set those COM options inside the .appv. You can set integrated vs isolated, but no IP or OoP COM, you have to use the deployment XML.
3. This gets tougher to answer, but it goes to how much isolation do you want. Some of the articles are great just go over my head slightly, but have to deal with how the filter driver processes certain kinds of COM, IP or OoP. With Isolated
(as opposed to integrated) the COM systems (local and package) are totally isolated except for global exceptions.
With integrated, you can further 'integrate' the COM subsystems by enabling those options. Correct me if I'm mistaken though.
So do you need to? If everything works for you I'd say no, but you might find something else doesn't work without those settings.
Also very important, you cannot join a CG without those subsystems being equal. So if Project and Visio ever need to be in a CG together and the COM settings aren't identical, you will get an error at the client.
I really like this article but not going to lie it goes over my head a bit (a bit or a lot depending on my coffee intake)

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.

I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.' Where exactly is it located?

I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.' Where exactly is it located? Here is the link which gives the instructions but doesn't seem to say where the 'Modify Settings Button' is located: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12526?viewlocale=en_US

You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

Can you change and set your own defult midi sync project settings

Hi All,
Can you change the default Midi Sync Project Setting so they have your own settings everytime you start up logic Pro X?
Preferences > Midi > Sync >MIDI sync project settings
General Default:
Frame Rate 25 fps
Check auto detect format of MTC
Default required:
Set frame rate to 29.97fps
check 'auto detect format of MTC'
check Enable Separate SMPTE View Offset
MDI Default is:
MTC and MMC all unchecked
Default required:
Check 'Transmit MTC'
Check 'Transmit MMC'
Check 'Listen to MMC Input'
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards,
           Gavin.

No, that's not what I typed above.
The rule is... Preferences are Global, changes made in Preferences affect all Projects.
"Settings" are on a per song basis.
In Logic 9 (and I imagine in X as well) there are two main areas to configure Logic.
1. Is Preferences    Preferences settings are global and affect all projects.
2. Is Settings          Settings are set for each project, they are not global
You typed: Preferences > Midi > Sync >MIDI sync project settings
See what is says, MIDI Sync Project Settings.
Preferences has forwarded you into the Settings area so no, the MIDI Sync options are not global, they have to be adjusted for each song, that's why I suggested setting up templates of your most used project setups.

Encore Project Settings and Encoded file is less in Encore than on my Drive.

Hi,
Before Encoding my Premiere Pro timeline in Media Encoder, I had set up my all my menus and all my assets in Encore CS 5.1. After I had done all that, I pressed the "Build button and it said I had around 23 GB left (I am making a Blu-Ray DVD)
So I went back to Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and Encoded my Project through Media Encoder. I set it it H.264 Blu-Ray, PCM Audio, Target Bit Rate was 18.5 and Max Bit Rate was 20. The estimated file size said it was going to be around 23 GB. This was perfect.
So I encoded it and when it was done, on the Hard Drive, it was 23 GB, just like to was supposed to be.
I then imported it into my Encore project and put it on the timeline. I then looked at the Build tab to see how many GB I had left on the Disc. I wanted a little room.
It said I am only using just over 20 GB and have a little over 4 GB left to use..
Why would this happen? I now have more free space.
In Encore, I wento to File ------ Project Settings ------ Default Transcode settings ---- and that was set at:
Max Audio/Video
Codec MPEG 2
Bit Rate = 15 MBPS.
The Audio was on Dolby.
There was a drop down list, in the Bit Rate category, that I could have chosen to use 20 or 25. I left it at 15 for now.
If I go back and choose 20 or 25 would that make the encoding of my whole project (Menus and h.264 Blu-Ray) a little better quality than it is now? Will it increase the size of Encoded project so when I hit the Build tab again it will show I have less space available to use? I want to make the project as good as it can get without going over the 25 GB limit.
One other thing.
Wih my final project on the Encore Timeline, when I have the Sequence active, on the Project tab in Encore it reads: 19.1 GB Encoded (Audio and Video). the final encode is 23 GB. Why is it going down to 19?
The video looks good and I could burn it to a Blu-Ray now and it would look great. I just want to know if there is some way to make it a little better inside Encore without having to Encode my whole project at a higher Bit Rate knowing that It will be a little less when I bring it into Encore.
Thanks in advance
Premiere Pro CS 5.5
Media Encoder 5.5
Encore 5.1

Many issues in this; one problem is understanding file sizes and Encore's handling of project panel sizes and build panel sizes.
See post 7 here:

Project settings and presets

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS04855172-E9FD-41b3-9145-FD434A543442. html

Thanks for the follow up.
Premiere Elements 11 is set up to take charge of recognizing the properties of your source media and setting the project preset whose description matches it so that the program can be directed to set up the correct space in the Edit Mode Monitor for Editing purposes. The project preset has other purposes but for now we will leave it at this. The program sets the project preset based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. I work in the Expert view Timeline since I can see better what is going on and thus have more control.
Sometimes the program does an OK job setting the project preset, sometimes not.
What is the frame size of your video @ 60 progressive frames per second? For now I will asssume 1920 x 1080 (1080p in this case). You can determine what the program is setting for you by viewing Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and look at the Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size reading. If 1080p60, you should see Editing Mode = AVCHD 1080p square pixel, Timebase = 59.94 frames/second, and Frame Size = 1920 x 1080.
If you do not see that, then you start a new project...
File Menu
New
Project
and, in the new project dialog, you set for NTSC/AVCHD/AVCHD 1080p60, making sure that you put a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on the Project.
At this point, you use Add Media/Files and Folders to get you 1080p into Project Assets from where you drag it to the Timeline.
When you are ready to export, take a look at Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with preset = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Then under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset, you change the setting as shown in the following screenshot so that you end up with your 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second as AVCHD.mp4.
Video Tab Settings
The important part of that Export Setting dialog is there.
Please let us know if you are OK with those results.
Thanks.

Blank white screen during playback and editing

I have suddenly lost visibility to my edited video in the monitor panel when editing sequences. Sometimes, right before it turns blank white, a strange grid of characters appear and then disappear. I can hear audio and the raw source footage is fine and intact. It's just everything I've been editing so far. Has anyone else experienced this? I've been using a Dell 8500 xps with Radeon 7770 for two years now and have had not problem up until now. Two things I did that might be culprit but not sure and need to see if someone can verify.
1) I tried to install dynadock so that I could use my two monitors with kvm switches
2) I downloaded a ted talk and tried to edit it. That was the first time I saw the strange characters and assumed it was some sort of protective measure the ted site had implemented to keep people from tampering with their footage. I imediately stopped playing with the footage and closed it down.
One last thing is that there was a Quicktime update and a Adobe Premier update that occured around same time last week. Too many variables. Any ideas?

Does the grid of characters look like this?
If not, then try switching your project settings from Mercury Playback OpenCL to Software Only.
Cheers,
Jeff

DVD Menu distorted on playback and finished copy

The last several projects I have worked on in Premiere Elements 9 seem to have an issue with the DVD Menu being distorted on preview and playback as well as when I burn them to DVD . I noticed it several months ago on a short 20 minute video. The DVD Menu was distorted, fuzzy and the titles were barely legible. The video itself was just fine. It was a standard play DVD … nothing special.
On the next project with the above in mind, I checked the Project Settings and all looked as it should. I started editing and noticed playback was different when viewing clips in the timeline. While playing the clip, the video and graphics looked fuzzy until I stopped the playback. Then the image instantly sharpened and looked as good as I expected. I continued editing assuming I never noticed the difference in this before. I am still not sure whether this problem is related to the DVD Menu or not. Anyway, I created the DVD menu and AGAIN, the DVD Menu looked fine until it is previewed or played back. I even burned a copy to disc and the DVD Menu still looks as distorted and unclear as it does in the preview window.
This is the DVD Menu and honestly it looks worse than this screen shot improves upon it.
I would appreciate if anyone can provide some guidance on what the project settings should be or maybe the playback settings. I am using a PC with a 64-bit processor with Win 7 O/S and 4 GB of RAM.
If there are any other questions I need to answer, please ask them and I will provide a response as soon as possible.
Thanks again for any assistance provided.

So apparently the screen shots I posted in my two posts did not get added.

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.
