Change Resolution of Premiere Project?

I've been editing a project at a draft resolution of 864x486. . The final res is going to be higher.
In the video settings for a given sequence, the resolution is not editable, nor do I see way to change res in the project settings.
Is there a way to change the res of my current project?
Thanks much.

There is no draft resolution presets in premiere. There is only the dynamic preview quality settings that can be adjusted in the source and program monitor.
You can copy all of your clips and paste them into a sequence that is the proper size, then make adjustments to individual media assets accordingly. Or you can drop your "draft sequence" in a proper format sequence and see what happens, it won't be good I'm afraid.

Changing Resolution Settings Within Project

Hi Guys,
Ok, here's my problem.....
I have captured my footage at 1920 x 1080 25fps and 48Khz with my Canon DSLR and imported it into my FCP project. I deliberately created my sequence settings at 1280 x 720 25fps as this was to be the output format and when I added the 1920 footage to the timeline, FCP asks me nicely if I would like to change the sequence settings to match the footage - to which I politely decline (mistake, I know now...)
This had the effect of scaling down my 1920 footage to 1280, which was fine. The issue I now have is when I want to export it as a reference movie for DVD creation, it takes hours as the reference movie is taking the settings from the project, which is 1280 x 720 and my footage is still 1920, which means lots of re-rendering to do. Took me ages to figure out why the ref movies were taking so long to export!
So I have been trying to figure out a way to somehow change all of my completed timeline that consists of 1920 x 1080 footage downscaled to fit in my 1280 x 720 timeline back to full 1920. Still with me??
I have tried manually resizing the individual clips using their Motion tab (they are at 66.6% now as they are squeezed into a 1280 x 720 timeline) back to 100% which works, but leaves me with e green proxy render bar above the clip. The same happens when I copy and paste the footage into a fresh sequence set to match the clip at 1920 - green proxy render bar and loads of rendering time.
So if there is any way I can grab my completed, edited timeline and somehow revert it and the footage back to full 1920 resolution, it would save me a load of time in rendering and output!
Anyone any ideas??

Hi Tom,
Thanks for youe suggestion. I did just that an the only discrepancy I can see between the footage and sequence settings seems to be in the audio format. The sequence is 32 bit floating point whilst the footage is 16 bit integer.
I can's imagine this will be the problem as if I start a new project and use the full 1980 clips, I can export reference files no problem.

Changing resolution of a project?

In my ignorance I think I set up a project at 720 P wide. Files are appropriate for larger output, and I'd like to do it at 1920. Can I do this after the fact?
Thanks

Yes, you can... can't change frame rate, but can change frame size. After you change the size, you might want to match frame each shot and perform a replace edit on each (it's easy and fast to do so unless you've added a bunch of filters). Doing this insures that the sequence matches the source material's properties exactly.

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

Does anyone have corrupt premiere projects and autosave files?

A Premiere CC project that I have been working on for weeks now is corrupt and will not open. I get a message "the project appears to be damagaed". All of the associated autosave files are also now messed up (some are a month old). Everything else on the drive that contains the projects is fine. Even other older Premiere projects are fine. I open the bad autosave projects in notepad and it is filled with jibberish compared to the other uneffected projects. Is this a bug or have I been hacked by the recent Adobe securiy issue? Here is a link to the project file http://adobe.ly/1awiNVO
All of my autosave files look like this too. How could all of my auto save files change to this jibberish too? I could understand if a save to my current project goes to left field, but how do all of my autosaves get corrupted too?
I have written out large portions of the project to finished movies, but still have a few I will need to start over from scratch if no one has a solution to my problem here. I would really like to have a chance to go back and re-edit if I see anything I want to touch up in the exported movies I have. Thank God I at least have what I do otherwise it would be a months worth of work down the tube. Has anyone else had this issue, or better yet have a fix?

Thanks Jon, I was not aware of the new zip files for the project files in CC. As Ann had confirmed, the project file was actually intact. I moved all of my assets and the project to another machine and it opened just fine. I still do not know why the project will not open on the other machine. Premier will open and start a new project, but I get an error code if I try to open that project. I did start the project in CS6 and convert it to CC when we upgraded, but a bug there still does not explain why the same project works on one computer but not the other. I will do a better job of asset management next time I work on that computer just in case:)

Exporting video from Premiere 2 Encore... change video in Premiere... Encore does not reflect change

Hi everyone,
I have a good question, hopefully it's a Premiere question, but it's also an Encore question.
First off, I have my video project, simple segments of video, that I've added to my timeline, and I've added a simple
title to the whole thing ( entire length of videos )
So far so good.
So what I did was export the project to Encore, where it loaded fine, and in Encore I worked on making a simple DVD menu for the movie.
I did about 2 hours on the DVD menu, and then saved the Encore project.
.... then I realized that the video project in Premiere needed some tweeking, so I went back and did that. I saved the Premiere project
and now I'm stumped as what to do next.
After I saved the newly tweeked Premiere project, I exported it to Encore, and of course, as I knew it would happen, Encore opened up
a new project with none of my menu system I had made for the DVD. Argh, now I'm very disappointed..... HOW would I go about getting
the DVD menu to work with the newly tweeked Premiere project ?
I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, and that there is indeed a way to fix this. I'm really really hoping so.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Dave.

Hi Dave, To be honest Colin's way is the correct way to do it and it has worked so you should probably do it that way. I just like to
take the full control back so if I do make changes I like to give it another version number and then match that version number in my
new saved Encore project taken from the original. It is also the very last thing I do as well so I just find that workflow means I
control every asset and version but no doubt about it Colin's way is the correct method and the one that allows all
changes within Adobe to reflect through. Cheers, Steve.

How can I export a selection as premiere PROJECT FILE to edit in another project....?

Wondering if anyone else has come across this issue....I must of hit an awful evil key because for the third time deep into an edit I traced back to my intro to find most of the audio pulled a Houdini on me and disappeared.
I've been through a tough edit, it's not as simple to just go back into my bins and recollect the clips to create my intro.
Luckily I found the exact intro I need in an auto-saved project file. Copy and pasting obviously does not transfer through project file changes, there is an option to "Export as Premiere Project File" under File, however after marking specific in and out marks and even selecting all clips I want to export, my option tool remains gray and inaccessible.
I need to export these specific clips as a project file so I may import the file as a sequence to a larger project.
Help?
Thank you so much in advance for your time and feedback.

Have you tried importing the sequence through the Media Browser? To do so, browse to the backup of your project and double-click it. That will show you all the contents of the project. You can then drag the sequence into your working project.

Imported mpeg videos change resolution.

I am importing mpeg videos to the project on PP 7.2.1 (4) under Windows 7 and they seem to change resolution and aspect ratio. Not sure if there is a setting that can be changed to override the aspect ratio and resolution when importing videos to the project ? Otherwise the video plays fine despite looking a little bit strange with this new aspect ratio of 1.1851.
The original video stream is (according to mediainfo):
Format                                   : MPEG Video
Format version                           : Version 2
Format profile                           : Main@Main
Format settings, BVOP                    : Yes
Format settings, Matrix                  : Custom
Format settings, GOP                     : M=3, N=15
Duration                                 : 44s 478ms
Bit rate mode                            : Variable
Bit rate                                 : 9 071 Kbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 8 900 Kbps
Width                                    : 720 pixels
Height                                   : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
Standard                                 : NTSC
After importing it to the project the properties are:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
Does anybody know if this can be corrected somehow?
Thank you

Thank you - I went through the tutorials and I think I am running into a different issue (at least this is how ti looks).
The original video when opened in source monitor (before importing it into the project) shows properties of:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
and this is before importing it to the project just opening it in the monitor. Not sure what to think of it the video shows everywhere as 720*460 (16:9), when I click properties in windows in various media players and in MediaInfo but for some reason PP sees it as 540*480 (1:1851).
Thank you

Encore project from linked Premiere project, everything updates dynamically EXCEPT Chapter Markers.

The link process works perfectly but for this one issue. Make a change in Premiere (CS6), it instantly shows in Encore. The exception is chapter markers. I can close and re-open both the Premiere and Encore projects, and there's no change in the Encore project to reflict this change in Premiere. I end up MANUALLY inserting or removing them in Encore. Is there any way to change this behavior?

Many users set chapters in Encore. So an auto update for chapter markers would create chaos. Adobe's solution was to require you to update markers.
But it is just about impossible to find that little "update markers" command.
You must right click on the timeline itself in the timeline viewer panel to get the command.

Changing resolutions in FCP X and how to go about resizing clips that get sized down.

Hey all! After changing an FCP X project resolution from 760 x 480 to 1080 x 720 (I think those were the dimensions; I am not right in front my project right now to check; basically, from SD to HD), how do you go about resizing clips that now appear smaller within the frame? In my case, I have a cutaway clip that is now appearing at a very small size scale in the middle of the frame, and the clip from which it is supposed to cut away is visible in the background. The strange thing is--this clip does not appear to have a problem when I am viewing it in the FCP X project. It does, however, become smaller when the project is uploaded to YouTube. Please help, I'm trying to finish this project by tomorrow, and this is LITERALLY the only thing that is holding me back!!

The original footage was shot in 1080p, and I didn't realize that I wasn't working in an HD resolution on FCP X until I tried to upload the project to YouTube. Not trying to change SD clips to HD; trying to work in an HD resolution with 1080p footage. I hope that makes sense...
I will have to wait until tomorrow to post the exact media specs...as I said, I am not in front of the project right now and do not have access to it from my home computer.
When I say "cutaway clip," I mean a video clip that is layered over an interview clip, and plays while you can still hear the interview narration (see photo below). From what I've read so far, I agree in that I think the frame is letter-boxed/pillar-boxed, which I believe can be adjusted in the "Spatial Conform" section of the Inspector. Just wanted to make sure this was correct.
Below you will see a screen shot of what this clip looks like on YouTube. Basically, in FCP X, it is appearing at 100% in terms of size scale, and the clip behind it is not visible.

Any way to prevent dupes in Premiere Project file?

Due to working with both PluralEyes as well as multiple editors on the same project, I deal with importing a lot of XML and PRPROJ files into existing project files that I've worked with.
This, on a large scale, becomes untenable because every time I import another editor's work or a synced sequence, I get duplicates of all my media in the project. I'm trying to figure out if there any way to have Premiere check to see if the media is already imported, and reference that media in the imported sequence? If not, I will just keep getting larger and larger project files with multiple references to the same media, because both me and my other editors are working with the same media, but for different sequences.
As far as I can tell, when you import an XML, or even a sequence from another Premiere project, it creates new master clips for every clip used in the imported sequence. It does not recognize that you may already have a master clip that you're using in another sequence that is referring to the same media.
So if you want to keep both sequences in your project, you need to keep both master clips. If you delete a master clip from your bin, it will not stay in the sequence(s) that refer to it, it will get cut out, leaving a big steaming crater where it once was. Even if the sequence is not currently open. This is one of the things I loved about FCP7. You could delete every single one of your master clips and your sequence would be totally unaffected. You could even recreate the master clips by dragging them from your sequence to the bin.
I think if there really is no way to manage these duplicates, this is a HUGE problem for professionals who are working in environments with multiple editors. This isn't just a "well, learn how to deal with a new editing system" - this is actually a deal-breaker; and actually the only one that I see REALLY preventing Premiere from being the go-to choice for larger post houses. This problem becomes so big so fast that it makes true collaborative editing downright impossible. In my office we might have three people on a project, all editing and revising segments and passing them back and forth. On FCP7 this was easy as pie - we'd just cut and paste between project files and use basic versioning best practices. In Premiere, our project files quickly become nightmares and work is often inadvertently deleted or lost.
I would like to see:
- Smart media handling when importing sequences and projects. Premiere should look at the filenames and file location and attempt to relink any duplicate media. If it stumbles, it should ask for help like FCP.
- A media consolidation inspection feature. I'd love to see an option for inspecting your project for duplicate media references. When found, Premiere should automatically consolidate.
- Streamlined sequence exporting. You should be able to export a single sequence. I know there's some version of this in Project Manager, but we all know it should be easier than this!
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Link Master Clips to media on drives, not to sequences.
How would you like the feature to work?
"The selection you are deleting contains clip references in one or more sequences. If you continue these clip references will all be deleted. Do you want to continue?" In short, I never want to see this warning again. I *need* to be able to delete master clips from my project without having media deleted out of sequences.
Why is this feature important to you?
Editors need to stay organized from the beginning. Professional editors don’t edit birthday parties; we often have large quantities of different kinds of media, need to know where it is, need to access it quickly, and don’t need unnecessary things in the way.
Organization exists in one place: the project panel. The less that’s in the project panel, the smaller the project file size is, the faster the project file opens, closes and saves, but most importantly: the easier it is to find what you need, fast.
The reasons for working in multiple project files are endless. When you import a seq from another project, you also get the clips used in it. Often times these clips are already present in the project, which is why you now include a “don’t allow duplicates” checkbox in your import dialogue box (which btw doesn’t work when we’re working with Merged Clips painstakingly built in other project files).
While you might fix that Merged Clips bug, I still don’t know why you won’t just let me clean stuff up myself. Why are you trying to save me from myself? I know where my media is and Premiere knows where my media is: on my drive.
A professional editing program should not try to save people from themselves. It’s why I left FCP for you. You have a great, powerful suite of programs (that I’d pay a lot more for than I do now btw)… but I need to stay organized, not be unnecessarily prevented from doing so.
Please listen to us and make this fix.

Mac won't open Premiere Project CC files created from PC

Hi,
I am helping a friend edit a series of short videos. He is on a Mac with the latest OS using Premiere Pro CC. I am on a PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit also using Premiere Pro CC. I did the rough cut for the first video, copied the folder (all clips and Premiere project files) to a USB key and handed it to him. We thought that Premiere on the Mac would open, the project would link to the clips in the same folder and he could start the final cut. Instead, Premiere on the Mac says that the Premiere Pro files appear to be damanged and won't open.
We will test using Adobe Cloud next time we meet but it takes a while for the files/clips to upload and download so we're not sure that's going to be a good workaround.
Any suggestions on how my friend and I can work together, him on Mac, me on PC, sharing clips and Premiere project files? Any help would be appreciated as I need to continue with my portion of the work.
Many thanks,
France

Hi Jim,
If I copy the relevant files to, say, a thumb drive, will Premiere be able to relink all of the clips when everything is copied over to the Mac? What we'd like to do:
1. I download the clips from the camera to a folder on my PC
2. Import the clips into a Premiere project
3. Do the rough cut.
4. Save the project file and any additional files in the same directory as the clips.
5. Copy entire directory to thumb drive and give to my friend.
If he loads the folder onto his Mac (keeping the same directory structure), is Premiere going to relink the clips to the project? I thought that's what Project Manager assists with. Some of the discussion threads talked about using a "Relink" or "Link" command but I couldn't find it in Premiere CC's menus.
Thanks,
France

External Monitor changing resolutions on Macbook

I have seen several people ask this question, but I haven't found a suitable answer. I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 at school. I teach and move from room to room hooking up to different projectors and monitors. The set up is just very unstable. Despite its supposed ability to remember settings, it rarely does and the resolutions are messed up as well as the display callibrations. I have an external monitor on my desk. Yesterday, I set the resolution to the native 1280x1024, when I plugged back in, it was back to 1024x768. For some reason, the higher resolution wasn't even appearing on the list until I fiddled with it.
Why is this so buggy on this MacBook running this OS? Is there a way to force it to remember display settings better? Any tips?
I know that other teachers have more problems than I do because they don't even know how to change resolutions or anything like that.
Thanks for any tips, tricks or helpful comments.

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

Is there a way of finding out how many active hours you've worked on a Premiere project?

If not, it'd be a very cool addition for Adobe to implement... so you know exactly how many hours a project is taking (and how much to charge clients etc.) Obviously we're all prone to leaving Premiere on and wandering away, so I guess it would need to be able to differentiate between active and non-active time...

Is there a way of finding out how many active hours you've worked on a Premiere project?
There are two things a client get's billed for, my time, and my computer's time. If either one of us are working on a project, the client get's billed. Even if Adobe spent (wasted?) time on adding such a feature, they'd never be able to include any time I've spent working on the project with PP closed, so this feature would have very, very, VERY limited usefulness.
The method suggested by the images is still the best way.
