Can I dumb down my footage for easy editing and use an edl (edit decision list) with the original..

Can I convert my footage to something Premiere Elements can handle easily and then use an edl with the original footage to get the quality I want?
Thanks,
Brian

I use DigitalMedia Converter 2.7 (an older version) from Deskshare, and it does great batch conversions. However, I have never used it for H.264, so cannot comment. It is shareware, but they have a trial. Going back many years, the trials were fully functional, but limited on the time - 30 days, IIRC.
With an i7, and a good amount of RAM, plus a good I/O (HDD's) setup, the H.264 material should edit smoothly. H.264 (all flavors) is CPU intensive, but the i7 should breeze through it.
Can you tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type, free space and how you have them allocated?
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

    Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
    Try these:
    Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
    Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
    See what's loading in your login items.  Delete the ones you don't need.
    Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
    Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
    Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

  • New W530 Owner - Can I move down to W7 for a while and then come back?

    I have a full Windows 7 license and think I would prefer to move down to Windows 7 for a while and have the option to come back to 8 later.  My understanding is that 8's key is in the bios.
    If I move down to W7 will it install normally?
    If I later want to move back to W8 can I install that from any Win 8 Pro install media and it will just recognize the key at that time?
    Thanks!

  • I just tried to install a the new update for my iPad and it started but now its stuck with the apple in the window and it won't finish the update

    My iPad is stuck with the apple and the updating line but it is not finishing the update and the iPad is stuck I can't shut it off nothing is working just the bright white apple in the window.

    Hi rm44,
    Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Home or Lock screen will display. Once the device is back up, go to Settings>General>About, and see what version is displaying. If it has the iOS number you were updating to, then you are all set.
    If it has the old iOS version number, then the update did not take place. The best thing to do in that situation is to hook the device up to iTunes on the computer you sync with, and to update via iTunes.

  • I installed itunes on my hp netbook.  Opening items for the first time, the user agreement does not show an "accept" button to accept the agreement and use itunes.  Have reinstalled twice with the same result.

    Is itunes compatable with HP netbook?

    If the netbook has less than 768 dpi vertical resolution, the "Accept" button will be displaying off the bottom of the screen. (I'm afraid, if so, you'll run into similar trouble when trying to make preferences changes.)
    With any luck, the "accept" button although not visible on your system might be the active one. If you hit your enter key does the setup proceed beyond the liscensing agreement?

  • I have Adobe Premiere 11 and I can't get videos about 30fps (I want 60) and when I do 1080p it zooms in the footage, please help

    I record 1080p footage at 60fps but adobe makes it 720p (because 1080p zoom in the footage for some reason) and then 29.97 fps because it doesn't go higher than 30.

    Premiere Elements 11 on what computer operating system? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    I do not understand why the following should be happening as well as the description that you give for the "because" parts.

    The project's automatic handling of setting the project preset can be flawed at time. So, let us rule this factor in or out by you setting the project preset manually.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Requested Troubleshooting
    Part 1.
    Open a new project and take Premiere Elements 11 to its Expert workspace.
    Then File Menu/Project/New and Change Settings.
    You say that your footage is 1080p60. Is that correct? Assuming it is, then
    In Change Settings, change the project preset to
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD 1080p60
    OK out of there.
    When you do, you will be facing the New Project dialog. There make sure that you have a check mark next
    to "Forced Selected Project Setting on This Project". OK of there.
    When you are back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to import your
    1080p60 file into the project. Drag the file to the Timeline. How does it present in the Edit area monitor?
    At the Timeline level, is there no colored line over its content or an orange line over its content?
    Part 2.
    Right click the thumbnail for the file in Project Assets, and select Properties. What does Properties show for the frame size?
    Right click the thumbnail for the file in Project Assets, and select Interpret Footage. In the Frame Rate section of Interpret Footage dialog,
    what is given as the file's frame rate. In the Pixel Aspect Ratio section of Interpret Footage dialog, what is given as the file's Pixel
    Aspect Ratio?
    The above should define the situation.
    Looking forward to your details.
    Thank you.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Can we create a single bdc for raw materials , and for some other transacti

    hi
    can we create a single bdc for raw materials , and for some other transaction? how?

    Hi Jyothsna
    For one transaction you will have to build your bdc table according to the recording for that transaction and then call that transaction using the bdc table. For another transaction , you will again have to build the bdc table with the details of that transaction.
    You cannot call all at one shot.
    Cheers

  • Can anybody explain what is support for ADF Project and to solve the Issues

    Hi,
    I am new to ADF and i am currently associated to ADF Support Project.
    Can anybody explain what is support for ADF Project and to solve the Issues when the ADF Project is in Live.
    we are getting the Tickets for the Issues.
    Thanks in advance.

    I agree with Timo.
    It depends on the size of the project, user base, technologies, etc. We use lot of technologies in fusion middleware stack. We get tickets in many areas.
    In your case, it could be anything like user training issues (user may not know how to use the some system features), browser issues like blank screen, bugs in code like JBO errors (failed to validate, another user has changed row, failed to lock the record, NullPointerException, IllegalArgumentException etc), business logic issues, page may not render properly, performance issues, partial commit issues, application server issues, authentication issues. If you use web services you might get web services related problems.
