30 fps shot into 24 fps sequence w/out frame removal

I want to cut a 30 fps shot into my 24 fps sequence, but I don't want to lose any frames. Instead, I'm prepared to have the shot play at 80% speed (24/30 = .8). But I can't figure out how to do this. If I simply cut the shot into the sequence frames get lost. How would I go about this?
Thanks, Martin

Well, that is a viable option for DVCPRO HD footage that is 59.94 that you want to convert to 23.98 slow motion. It transfers frame for frame and slows it down. But, because of the results you got, I think that might be behavior limited to DVCPRO HD.
Then I don't know what you can use. After Effects perhaps?

Please Fix FPS sequence bug in Premiere !

every time you move a folder with a project or for example you copy a project into a hard drive to work in another computer all image sequence FPS changes to original frame rate instead what FPS you choose to assume.
To replicate the error:
in a mac OSX
in finder prepare a folder with an image sequence
1) create a project, with a PAL Timeline,
2) insert a image sequence, modify the intepretation FPS to "assume this frame rate" change it to 25 or something different from the original FPS
3) drag and drop the sequence into the timeline
4) save and quit
5) Copy the folder containing the project and the sequence to an external hard drive
6) open the project in another computer.
you will notice that the FPS interpretation has changed to the "use frame rate from file" instead the "assume this frame rate" option
this is easy to fix when it's only one clip, but when you are doing huge edits with some differents Frame rates on same timeline, (especially intrepreting 60fps to 30fps) it's a really painful bug

Hi Mariano,
I know this is fixed in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 for standard video clips. However, I'm not sure how it affects image sequences. Please file a bug. In the mean time, you could have this option if you convert your image sequences to video files.
Thanks,

Sound import to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and need rendering!!!

Anyone know why an aif sound file from Pro Tools imported to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and needs rendering? It is like FCP is converting it to another freq. when it is 48k already! I do this all the time with NTSC and 23.98 projects, what is up with the 25 frame seq.??
Thanks, Mark

If the originals are coming from CD's they are 44,100 kHz.
Resample in Soundtrack Pro or convert in QuickTime Player.
Your location says you are in LA. Why are you working in in PAL?
I know that things need to be at 48K this would not matter anyway if it was 44.1 FCP would do the conversion and not make it out of sync in an NTSC Timeline, but a PAL timeline FCP screws with the sound file. The files came from pro Tools, the industry standard should mixing.
I put them through Sound Track Pro and it did not help.
LA is the entertainment center of the world, we send project all over the world.

Image sequence of jpegs import into Premiere Pro CC 2014 out of sync!

Ever since I left CS6 to CC 2014, image sequences as jpeg files do not properly import into Premiere in sync anymore. I use Blender 3d to export render scenes as jpegs then convert them to h.264 mpeg4 video clips in Premiere. What happens is that the images upload into Premiere's project tab out of order, even though they are correctly ordered in my hard drive. Improper naming conventions are probably ruled out since their files extensions are _000 types, and I never had a problem importing sequences in CS6 anyways. Still image default duration is set to 1 in the general preferences. Does anyone know what is suggest? Thanks.

Good point, I am importing as separate jpegs each set to one frame, so it's not an image sequence as I thought.
My indeterminate media timebase and sequence are the same (29.97fps), though I have to say that even if they were different I don't see why that would be a problem.
Here is a screen shot of my images just after uploading them into the project tab, it is seen from first to last that file numbers appear out of order such as 066, 054, 072, 058...ect:
Is there anything else I could try?

Insert a clip into a new sequence, the clip will not play back

Macbookpro 8G ram twin 2.5 Intel, 1333 Mhz
I am an experienced editor coming over from AVID. This is my second project attempt in Premiere. First was fine. I imported clips that live on my hard drive. When I make a clip selection, mark the in and out and "insert into a new sequence, the sequence will not play back un less I render it first. I am talking about one (1) shot maybe 3 seconds long. I have done no other edits in the sequence and have added no effects but there is an effect icon on the clip in the sequence, This can't be right. It is not the way it worked for my first test project. It would take 40 hours to edit a 60 second spot… What has happened here?
Footage is 1080p 24fps. Short with a digital DSLR and Files are the same (.mov) as in the first project,

I have exactly the same problem. All of a sudden preview window is not working properly. In some projects it only plays audio with gray screen, in some it doesn't plays at all or plays audio from another projects. Sometimes preview gets frozen with the first frame in the project. I can however play video from Event Library, but without any sound. When I create new project and drag clips from Library, it plays with gray screen and again without sound. Restarting iMovie or Mac is no help. I'm using iMovie 8.0.6
Waiting for help desparatly, thank you

Cutting SD into an HDV Sequence

Just wondered if anyone had experience of this?
I dropped an SD (4:3 Pal shot indoors on a PD170) clip into an HDV sequence and changed the scale to 252% to get it to fill the frame. Surprisingly it looks pretty good, at least on my 20" Cinema display. I then used Compressor to produce a HD Mpeg 2 and again it's very acceptable when played on DVD Player on my Cinema display. I wondered if anyone had done this and gone all the way to HD DVD and to a Plasma or similar?
I know that scaling over 115% in an SD sequence would make the clip look awful so I was wondering whether the HDV preset somehow cleverly compensates for this problem or is it just an illusion caused by my Cinema Display?
I'm asking because I have a Sony Z1 and am considering getting a Canon H1 to shoot my next film but I will need to cut in SD footage and ultimately release it on HD DVD when things settle down. I just wonder whether I'm barking up the wrong tree?
Any comments appreciated.

It's an illusion caused by your Cinema Display.
During the course of editing, it's fine to do what you've done. But once you've locked picture, use Compressor 2 to upconvert (to the HD format of your choice) only the portions of the SD clips that you'll need. (Making use of Compressor's Frame Controls settings, of course)
The basic idea being that Compressor 2's optical flow technology will produce far better HD conversion than FCP will. FCP's will be far faster, but if it's quality you're aiming for, using Compressor.

Transfer Ana. 16x9 into 4x3 Letterboxed Sequence?!

I've done this in the past and for the life of me can't remember how!
All I want to do is transfer an Anamorphically shot and edited sequence into a 4x3 Sequence (so then it would be Letterboxed), to be able to export into as a 4x3 320 x 240 QT file.
I keep thinking that dragging the nested 16x9 sequnce into a 4x3 sequnce will work, but it doesn't.
Any help of info is much appreciated!

That's very odd that dragging the 16:9 sequence (into the 4:3 sequence) doesn't letterbox. I used to do this on almost a weekly basis and never had a hiccup.
Anyhow, any luck doing an Insert/Overwrite Sequence Content?
That is, drag the 16:9 sequence from the Browser into the 4:3 sequence as you would normally. But press and hold the Command key, then release the mouse button. You should see your sequence contents (aka the clips 'n stuff) in your 4:3 sequence. And they should be letterboxed.
If the clips aren't letterboxed, you might have some type of sequence corruption. Trying all this with a fresh 4:3 sequence might do the trick.

Using grab or anything else to copy and paste screen shots into MAIL

Using Grab to copy a screen shot into Mail-
All i get is a smaller picture of the screen shot and it can not be read in mail as it looses all definition and is too small .
is there a way one can copy and paste into mail using grab or any other utility?

You can do this using the standard screen capture keyboard shortcuts. cmd-shift-4, for example, let's you select a region of the screen to capture. By default, the results will be saved to your desktop as a png image file.
However, if you also hold down the ctrl key (so, ctrl-cmd-shift-4), the resulting screen capture will be saved to your clipboard. Once in the clipboard, you can simply cmd-v paste it into your mail message...

PP CC - can I change a normal sequence into a multicam sequence?

I have made a sequence with 4 videos along with audio and they are now hand sync'd together.
I would like to change this sequence into a multicam sequence. Can this be done in CC without losing the work already done to the videos?
All I can find about multicam cam in PP CC, is you have to start with all the footage selected and then choose to create new multicam sequence. Should you not be able to change your mind and be allowed to change an already created normal sequence into a multicam sequence?
Sorry but just used to CS6. Hope I don't have to start over again.
Cheers

Nest that first sequence into another, then right click and Enable Multicam.
This is the original (and in my view still the better) way to create multicam sequences. The Help file should have this as the very first listing, with the new 'auto' methods coming after. (Kevin?)

Scaling down hd into a dv sequence

my 1080 hd clips need to be incorportaed into a dv sequence but when i export them as quicktime and then import that quicktime into a dv sequence, it looks soft. is there a better way? copy, paste and then scale down perhaps?

Yup. Copy, paste and rescale...render.
And they will NOT look as good as they used to. You are not compressing them to DV compression, which is 5:1.
And never judge the quality of your footage with your computer monitors. External NTSC or TVs only.

Best practices for importing .png screen shots into FrameMaker 9?

I'm new to importing .png screen shots into FrameMaker, and also new to FrameMaker 9. To compound things, I have engineers giving me screen shots taken on Linux machines, using a client like NX to get to Linux. My screen shots are coming in fuzzy and instead of trying to troubleshoot what's going wrong here, I was wondering if someone could quickly tell me what normally works with FrameMaker 9 and .png on a Windows system so I can troubleshoot from there.
That is, let's say I'm capturing a screen shot on a Windows system and I use some tool (Paint Shop Pro X, SnagIt, Alt-PrintScreen, or whatever). I save the screen shot as .png and then import by reference into FrameMaker 9.
What dpi do I use in the capturing program?
What dpi do I use when I import by reference into FM?
What if that makes the screen shot too large/too small: Is it better to use the FrameMaker Graphics > Scale solution, to resize it in my capture program, or to retake the screen shot?

Bringing screenshots into Frame documents has four major considerations:
how to perform the original screen capture
how to post-process it in a graphics editor
what graphical object model (and file format) to store it in
making sure it isn't damaged by your workflow
1. Screen Cap, typically of dialog boxes ...
... used to be simple; isn't anymore.
Dialogs used to have identical pixel dimensions on all user screens. You hit Alt[PrntScrn] in Windows and you got a one pixel per pixel 24-bit color image on the clipboard.
More recent operating systems now have much more scalability in the GUI. So either capture at what the default user sees, or at the optimal presentation enlargement, which might be precisely 2x the default display.
2. Post
Before you even start this step, you need to know exactly how you will be presenting the final document out of Frame:
B&W? Color?
What dimensional size on the page?
If hardcopy, what are the optimal parameters of graphical images for your print process? If web or PDF, various other considerations arise. I'll presume print.
In our workflow, the print engine is 600 dpi bitmap. We normally present images at one column width, about 3.5in. Our PDF workflow passes 600 bitmap untouched, but resamples gray and color to 200 dpi. I tend to use 600 dithered bitmap, but always test if there's any doubt.
Chances are the screencap bitmap, at your native printing res, is too small. There is no "dpi" associated with clipboard images. Once pasted into an image editor, the editor should provide the ability to declare the dpi (Photoshop does, both at paste, and via "resize without rescale"). If your image editor doesn't, fire it. If you can't see and control dpi, you have no real control over this workflow.
Plan to save the final image in a format that at least supports linear dimensions (like EPS) if not explicit dpi (TIFF). Save out the image at the exact size you intend to use at import in Frame. Do you know how Frame scales objects? I don't. So do your scaling where you have control over how.
Play with the defined "dpi" until the linear dimensions match your planned import frame. If that dpi passes through your workflow unmolested, you may not need to perform any resizing.
If you need to convert from 24-bit color to bitmap (at your printing resolution), I'd suggest using error diffused dithering converting to your target res, as this tends to preserve the hard edges in dialog boxes and rasterized text.
If you need to re-scale, I'd suggest scaling up by an integer multiple, using "nearest neighbor", to the nearest size just higher than your target dpi. Then rescale bi-linear down to your target size.
3. File Format
The main consideration here is compression, followed by color depth and size encoding.
Screenshots tend to have expanses of flat colors, and hard edges. These objects compress reasonably well using repeat-count compressions (like ZIP or RLE). They tend to get damaged by curve-matching compression, like JPEG, because they typically contain no curves through color space. Hard edges get fuzzy or pick up ringing artifacts.
So don't use JPEG (and what compression will your workflow use?). I tend to use TIFF(ZIP) for screenshots.
Avoid indexed color (4-bit, 8-bit or 15/16-bit) color.
Don't use GIF. It has no size encoding. The usual presumption is that GIF is 72 dpi, which makes importing it a nuisance, and at least a minor math exercise. Plus, it's indexed color, and may scale poorly downstream.
Experiment. See what looks optimal in the final product.
4. Workflow
As you can see throughout the above, all your careful planning can be for nought it your save-as-PDF, distiller or print shop process resamples everything down to 90 dpi. You have to know what's happening, and how to optimize for it, or you probably won't like the result.
We once had graphics showing up at 10 (yes ten) dpi in print.
Turned out the print engine could handle JPEG 5 but not JPEG 2000.
We had to hastily back-port images until a software upgrade fixed it.

How can I use two sequences w/ different frame rates

I shot wedding (on Sony Z5) initially (1st tape) in DV widescreen (29.97/ 30 fps) but tapes 2, 3 & 4 were shot 1080p24 fps Big mistake; now obvious.
Edited all in FCP 6. On trying to cut & paste sequences together I get " cannot nest sequences with different editing timebases".
I have 23 min.intro/ ceremony sequence as stand alone QT mov now. How can I best convert that and/or merge it w/ the rest ( 62 min. 24 fps sequences), or perform other action to unite the diff frame rates into one, w/ best looking quality for the DVD/ bride & groom? Trying to beat Xmas deadline...
Thanks in advance! Happy Holidays to all.
3 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo / 8 GB / OS 10.6.8 FCP 6.0.6

I went back and forth on this.
Ordinarily, I'd conform to the format that the majority of the footage was shot in. But if you're going to DVD, and it's going to be compressed to 480 anyway, then why not down convert the 1080 footage to 480?. At the same time, I would imagine re-timing the 24 (23.98?) to 29.97 would look reasonably consistent with the 29.97 SD.
This could be done in FCP, but I think Compressor will produce a better result. The adjustments you need are in the Settings menu in the Encoder (with Audio set to pass through), Geometry (720x480 16:9 Anamorphic), and Frame Controls (Resize Filter set to Best).
This will not be a short encode, so I would first test a short section to double check your settings and sound sync are right, and to compare against the quality of tape 1.
Good luck.

When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona. Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation. I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline. Any Idea how to fix this? I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames
