Bill Hunt - One more question

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response! When you're talking about the field order, etc, are you saying I need to change how I record the bball games or can I simply change the setting on my computer to match my camera and it should fix the video problem? PLEASE tell me I just need to change a setting and re-burn the dvd.....I don't have to do the entire video over, do I???? ALSO, you said to go to the website G-Spot??? Can you give me the full website address? When I google that you can imagine what websites pull up!!! THANKS!

Thanks for the help!!! I did go to Steve's Getting Started tutorial. The problem is, we never found where we could change our settings. We are using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 and we looked under every possible category to change it (under New Project, etc) and we can't find where it will let us change anything. Sorry - I'm just a bball coach, but our 2 tech teachers are working with me on this and they have listened to Steve's tutorial, as well and we can't figure it out. We see it if we are on Adobe Premiere Pro, but not Elements 3.0. Can you help me? And, does this mean I will have to re-capture all my videos and start this project over or is there any possible way to improve the quality of the dvd through the burning process alone?

PRE 7.0 Capture, Conforming & Editing Questions

I have a new Canon Vixia HFS100 (AVCHD) and have just installed Premiere Elements 7.0.   I previously used a Standard Definition mini-tape camcorder and edited the videos with either Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director.
Capture Questions: The AVCHD media import option does not require a fire wire / nor does it provide device control. (I LIKE this feature since I purchased a camcorder with flash memory cards so that I could import the media through a card reader instead of having to hook up the camcorder.) I realize now, however that I may also want to import a small segment from a longer scene. Should the AVCHD capture feature have device control? If not, can I also use the HDV camcorder capture function instead?   Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Conforming Questions: After I import the .mts files, PRE 7.0 automatically goes through a process that says it is 'conforming' the files.   What does 'conforming' mean? Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Editing Questions: The .mts scenes cannot be played back without SEVERE stutter.   Audio is fine, but the scenes video looks like individual stills with 10-15 second delay until the next still picture. Although I plan to upgrade from my 1 GB RAM laptop to a much higher powered laptop within the next month, I am despearate to edit and publish my first set of videos since they are sales videos of horses I am trying to sell. Is there anything I can do to allow me to edit the .mts files with my current 1 GB RAM system? I would be happy to drop to a lower quality video setting just to get this batch of videos edited and produced.
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Is there anything I can do NOW to get this first set of videos edited / produced on my current laptop?   I would be happy to import as lower quality if necessary.
There are several threads on AVCHD conversion. Unfortunately, I do not recall the conversion utilities recommended. Not shooting AVCHD, I have to admit that I am personally clueless to what programs work, and how well. Others can likely help you there.
2. What configuration wish list can you recommend for either a Dell laptop or desktop?   I will be editing ~40 horse sale videos per month and posting them to YouTube or producing DVDs to mail to prospective buyers.
I have just the ARTICLE for that "wishlist." Harm Millaard is the "Hardware Guru," on the PrPro forum. He gives a lot of great info. Now, it's pretty much geared for the "ultimate" NLE machine, but he does give the reasons, so one can "tone it down" to suit their budget and their needs.
Good luck,

PS - if I find the threads on AVCHD conversion, I'll share those.

Premier Pro CS4 - Simple Editing Question

Hello,
I'm a complete noobie with video editing. A friend gave me Premier Pro CS4 that he had gotten from school. What I want to do with it is to "censor" and edit out certain parts of videos to make them family friendly. (Profanity, nudity, etc...)
I have managed to actually cut out stuff I disliked and export, but the video is re-sized. I don't want to re-size the video at all or even convert to a different format , just edit.
I tried setting the sequence thing as close as possible, but it keeps doing it. I don't even really know what a sequence is.
How do I make it maintain the original settings?

First, you make sure your project matches your video files

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

Steve Steve Grisetti vs Bill Hunt & "Classroom in a Book" - cognitie dissonance?

   Bill Hunt suggested that I size my animations, created in Photoshop and ImageReady, to 1920 x 1080 pixels at 72-dpi for optimal viewing on a 24" widescreen monitor. Ditto both Classroom in a Book and Premiere Elements itself, as regards the intake from my video camera.
   Steve Grisetti on the other hand gives a size of 1000 x 750 as a "standard definition video" and recommends a size of 2000 x 1500 for a still of a map that is to be zoomed in and out of, and to slide across the viewing frame.
   This is what's called "cognitive dissonance."
   Anyone have a clarification of this?

....... I cannot find any definitive statement on PrE 11.
Now, it does not take all that many 4096 x 4096 pixel Images, before most computers will "run out of gas," and especially if it is running a 32-bit OS. Because of that, I would limit the use of very large Still Images, even if the program CAN Import them.
Hunt
Now we are beginning to agree.
I put 40 full size DNGs and 10 AVCHD 1080p60 video files into a recent project. The DNGs are 5460 x 3068 and 80 MB each out of an HDR process. PrE11 didn't flinch -- not even a little. My laptop does have an i7, 16 GB of RAM, 64 bit Win 7 and a SSD. I'm sure the project would choke a Window XP vintage machine. But, the weak spot is the machine, NOT PrE11.
Bill, you have new laptop. Try dragging 50 or a 100 full sized RAW photos into fresh PrE11 and see how it does. Make sure the project settings are forced at AVCHD 1080p60. Add some transitions and put some Pan & Zoom on them. I'll bet a bottle of Washington wine for (next winter's consumption in AZ) that you will find it works ver well.
My point in several threads over the last several months is that you should not write that photos need to be re-sized. Instead you an Mr. Grissetti should consider writing, "Depending on the strength of your computer, you may find resizing will improve the performance of PrE11. Strong computers may show no change in performance from resizing of photos and in may not be at all necessary."
As a side note, if you have not done it, try a Help > Update check. If you have a fresh install you will probably have ACR 7.1. No, I don't now how to check what it is. But, if you do the update, ACR 7.4 will install. There is something under the hood that uses ACR and it is not video clips! It appears to me that Adobe has gradually turned PrE into an NLE that will make slide shows and put them into MP4s that play well on YouTube and Vimeo.
Let me know if I need to bring that bottle of wine.

Lossless edit in iPhoto 08

In some of my photo editing in iPhoto 06 i enjoyed the ability to mess with images by repeatedly applying some of the effects to images until they got a painterly aspect to them. With the new improvement of lossless editing in 08 this process has become an absolute pain. Is there any suggestions from the community as to how to achieve this.
sillyfunnypedro

Well there's a first - someone complaining about lossless editing!
Best to use an external editor: here are some suggestions, starting with free and moving up:
Seashore
Graphic Coverter
Acorn
Photoshop Elements
and here's a personal favourite - and especially if you're into painterly effects: Compositor

Can't Edit Question

When opening a Cap 2 file that already has slides and
quesions slides-- Selecting a particular question slide the "edit
question" button below the timeline is "flashing" and cannot be
selected. I think I have heard of this before with a
workaround/fix. Please remind me!

Okay, I found the problem. question slide was locked, and for
some reason, this makes the "edit question" area flash on my

Bill Hunt's custom 64-bit laptop

In another thread, moderator Bill Hunt mentioned he was waiting for the delivery of a 64 bit laptop he has custom ordered. He added he would be putting PrE11 on it.
Bill, if you read this, would you give some detail on what you ordered and how it relates to PrE11 performance?
Thanks.
Bill

Thanks. I had not heard of ADK.
A couple months ago I was looking at HP Laptop Workstations and Macbook Pros. I ran into an ASUS i7 "gamer" at B&H with 17 inch screen, a SSD, HDD, a Nvidia card, 16 GB ram, four USB 3.0 ports and even a Blu-Ray burner. I bought it with Windows 7.
It works very well. At your suggestions in other posts, I tried spreading the workload across drives. It seems to perform best with everthing in one folder for each project on the SSD.
I can't tell if the Nvidia card does me much good with PrE. And I don't know if it is a supported card if I upgrade to Pr Pro. Since I probably won't spend that much money on an NLE it won't matter.

Single Edition questions!

Hi there,
I need an updated, quick and precise answers for these Single Edition questions...!
(1) For what I got until now Single Edition do not allow clients to publish a store like a bookstall of magazines. Is that right?
(2) That said, every app built and sent to App Store is "unique" and has no physical connection with other apps built and sent later. Right?
(3) Even though having Creative Cloud and being able to publish unlimited Folios... There is no way we can do a bookstall??
(4) Even using Html5 resources?
Thankyou all...

1) Correct
2) Correct
3) Correct
4) Correct
A bookstall / kiosk / multi-issue-app is only available for Adobe DPS Pro.

How does Single Edition compare to Professional and Enterprise Editions?
Professional Edition is an off-the-shelf solution designed for customers who publish frequently updated content multiple times a year and require the ability to sell single issues or content subscriptions (as supported by individual marketplaces) through app stores including the Apple App store, Amazon Kindle Fire Newsstand, and Android Marketplace.
Enterprise Edition is a custom tailored solution that meets the individual needs of professional magazine and newspaper publishers, large corporations, membership organizations and advertising holding companies. Enterprise Edition is fully extensible and can be integrated with back-end editorial workflow solutions such as K4 and WoodWing, print fulfillment services, and dynamic rich media ad platforms.
Unlike Enterprise and Professional Edition customers, Single Edition customers do NOT have access or the ability to:
Create multi-.folio applications
Update content embedded in an application once it is published
Sell through multiple market places (Apple App store is only supported at this time)
Access foundational analytics powered by SiteCatalyst
Extend and integrate with other back end services/platforms

Why do I see things set differently in Advanced Actions (F9) than in each slide's Edit Question settings?

After spending 10+ hours of trying to figure out why my first two quiz slides did work, and my next eight didn't, I found the answer as an offhand, btw, comment. The expected action was On failure, Jump to Slide x, which would jump back to the beginning of that content "section." (Quiz slides (two per section) are interspersed with sections of content slides). I finally ran across the advice to "save yourself time" by using F9 to see Advanced Interactions (which is, what, a dialog? a view?). Turns out this was not just a time-saver but the ONLY way (that I've found yet) to see and fix my problem. In Advanced Interactions, I could immediately see that the first two slides were set as I thought, (Jump to Slide upon failure), but the rest were set to Continue upon failure. This, EVEN THOUGH on every question slide, in Edit view/mode on the Edit Question > Options tab, it was set for Jump to Slide upon failure. Why did it appear that way in Edit Question > Options, but not in Advanced Interactions? I set them all correctly in the Advanced Interactions and now the jumping is working correctly (Now I have problems with questions not being reset, but I think I have seen the answers for that in my 10+ hours of reading forums and blogs.)

IMovie HD (6.0.3) - Export Quality and Editing Question

Hi guys, i wanted to ask two questions. The first is that i wanted to export videos to upload onto YouTube and the best format for this seems to be the CD-ROM format that is available on the version i have, the only thing is my videos still appear low quality and pixellated even though i am editing good quality videos......i was wondering if i was doing anything wrong/or can do something better?
Also, when i am editing, can i place logos or maybe pictures onto the video e.g. with TV channels they have a logo at the corner of the screen. I also wanted to black out text on screen but i don't seem to be able to do that.
Thanks a lot.

QuickTime has never supported anything more than "playback" of MPEG-1 formats and conversions to QuickTime formats will never include audio.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1 a "format" created a long time ago.
iMovie 7 can import and convert most MPEG-2 formats (DVD and HD media) and include audio. It also uses QuickTime for the work.
MPEG Streamclip does allow "batch" conversions. Do them while you sleep.

Ridiculously simple audio editing question for Garage Band

Ok, so this is really a fundamental
question. It concerns editing technique.
In analog mixing, the editor put
the sounds to be saved in the right
places on each of several tracks --
narration, sound effects, lip sync,
music, etc. The tracks were then
all locked together and the mixer
adjusted the volumes to either save
or reject audio information.
A blank master received the information
and that was your final product,
in sync, sprocket by sprocket, with
the video.
My question, then, is, how do you
do it in digital multitrack such as
Garage Band? Are you aiming to have
4 or 5 tracks all level controlled
or do you simple erase unwanted
sound, or what exactly do you do,
in post production? If you are going
to do a voice over, then you have to
do a mix at some point, not just a
cut and paste. What's the philosophy,
if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks,
Ed

Wow... you gave me flashbacks to a movie soundtrack I scored, with separate reels of tape all synced up and whirling away for final mixdown!
To answer your question as best I can in a paragraph or two, digital mixing is unlimited compared to analog. Whereas tape has a physical limit, you can always add another digital track (there are limitations to digital, but they are becoming harder to reach as systems become increasingly powerful). So no need to erase. Editing is also a breeze. Digital tracks are endlessly malleable, with virtually every parameter available for automation.
Sometimes you might mix down to stems or mix everything down to a stereo master (or alternative mixes) for post production. Similarly, in post, they can deal with huge numbers of digital tracks from different sources.
In terms of a professional workflow, Logic is the more typical choice over Garageband, and includes a number of features designed for scoring to picture: variable sample rates, frame rates, etc.
Gain staging in digital recording is different than in analog, and it requires a different approach to achieve excellent sounding results. But the digital workflow is so much more flexible, forgiving, and economical, that it has been the death-knell for the analog workflow. Infinite bussing, routing, mixing, comping, storing, stemming... infinite possibilities, really!
