Copy and Paste results in decreased video quality

I'm working on a project that was shot with two cameras. The footage from one is in HDV 1080i60, the other footage is in 1080p24. In the Bin, the footage was in quality HD appearance, and looked the same when I put it in the sequence.
I then made a second sequence and copied + pasted each individual clip from the first sequence into the second. After rendering, the footage looked like it was at widescreen standard definition. Lots of interlacing, not very smooth motion, a little blurry, etc.
I do NOT want to have to re-edit this project from scratch (the original footage is still crisp) and need to know if there is a quick fix to this HD to Standard screwup. It's frustrating that something like copying and pasting to another sequence should cause this big of a problem.
I have tried going into Sequence>Settings in the menu, where I changed the Compressor to HDV 1080i60, but this only made the frame rate really choppy, even after rendering.

On the second sequence open the sequence settings (Command 0)
There in the bottom left click on Load sequence preset.
Choose HDV1080i60.
OK.
If the video still looks distorted then do the following:
Make a duplicate of the sequence as backup.
Select all in the timeline. Command Option V to remove attributes.
In the pop up select: Basic Motion and Distort.
OK
Is it solved?

Copy and Past voiceover between different videos

I need to split a video into three sections. I have recorded voice over in the video (appears in the blue boxes under the video clips). Is there a way to copy those from one video and paste them into another?

Hi there,
If all you're trying to do is to move from one video clip to another, dragging will suffice. But if, as I imagine, you're trying to move it to another project, copy/paste won't work on the narration track.
Find the project file in the Finder, and right click to select "Show Package Contents". This will enable you to see your voice over recordings and from there you could drag and drop 'em onto the new project. After you do such and have your narrations in place, it would be advisable to go into iMovie's File menu and hit "Consolidate Media…" so that your voice overs would be copied and referenced to the current project (should you decide to trash the original).
Be advised that the newly dragged narration will work as a regular audio track and not as a narration track (you will have to perform the audio ducking manually) and its color will revert to the default "green".
Hope this helps.

PDF problem: copy and paste results in squares

hello all,
I have problem with my PDF's. I'm afraid the problem maybe is not related to the distiller, but I hope someone here can guide me in the right direction. I don't know exactly what the right starting point is for this case.
The problem is that whenever I copy text from a document (reader 7.0 or Adobe Acrobat 9 pro on windows XP) that is created with the distiller server and I paste the clipboard in a word document, the result is a string of squares, one per character. It seems the font size is preserved, as the squares appear in different size.
Can any of you guide me with this? The problem seems to be the postscript that I use as a starting point. When I distill it (distiller version seems to be not important, I use distiller server 4.05 for windows) the problem arises.
What can be the cause of that? Can I change the distiller options to fix this or do I have to change the postscript? Do I have to upgrade the distiller? Has it something to do with the fonts?
I have an example of a postscript that gives this problem here: http://pastebin.com/EbVGBhAL
thanks in advance for helping me, Ruud

OK, Bernd, now I see.
So the encoding vector maps the character codes to character names; the charstrings map maps the character names to the characters.
And the character _names_ are used during the copy to clipboard. That is you meant by 'the encoding is incorrect'. The character names in my postscript are like 'c01', 'c02' and so on; the copy to clipboard can't use them. Interesting.
Bernd, can you tell me how you know that character \016 maps to a 6 in the font table? On the moment, that is my 'missing link'. If I only know how you did it, I could make the mapping myself. I would be very happy....
thanks a lot, Ruud

(CS4) Copy and paste video/sound into another project, sound won't export

Hello Adobe community
I am working on a TV show for a community television network in Australia. I created the opening credits in a seperate project to the edited footage of the show, because my computer is struggling with the size of all the files. So I have two project files. Recently I copied and pasted the edited footage of the show into the project where I have the opening credits (by highlighting all the footage, right clicking and going to copy, then opening the Project with the credits sequence, right clicking and selecting paste). This seems to work. I can hear the sound and continue tweaking and editing. However, when I export the project, the sound from the footage I have copied into the project can't be heard. I can hear the sound from the credit sequence, but not the sound that has been copied into the project (although on the timeline of the project, I can hear the sound... This problem only presents itself after export).
I have tried doing the opposite... Copying and pasting the opening credit sequence into the project with the edited footage, and I get the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter which file type I export as. I have tried .AVI and .MPEG2, with the same results.
I am using Windows 7 64bit version, and Premiere CS4. I have a mixture of .MTS, .WAV and .MP3 audio files in the footage that I copy and paste across. None of them are exporting.
I have tried moving the copied and pasted audio files on to the same audio tracks as the sound already in the project, but this doesn't work either. The original sound will export, then when it gets to the copied and pasted sound nothing can be heard.
I have included some screen shots to illustrate the problem below. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks for your time! I have a looming deadline so your help is much appreciated.
-Robert

Thanks for your replies everyone. Sounds like cut and paste is not an option. Wow, I didn't realise how much trouble I'd be causing for myself by having different parts of the show in different projects.
I am reluctant to export the project then import it into another project, because I do not want to lose quality through compression as Ann suggests.I don't know what you mean, Ann, when you say "Dont think CS4 could import single sequence (forgot)."? Jim, I'm also unsure what you mean when you say "That's what UT is for"?
However, I went to File/Import/Import Entire Project, and imported the project this way. Then I dragged the little folder icon that appeared in the top left hand corner of the screen onto the timeline. However, when I did this, a few problems occured. Firstly, the original project had footage and audio on many different tracks, but when I imported the project nearly all of the video and audio was on to the one track. Secondly, instead of going for 10 minutes, the imported footage went for a few hours. Thirdly, the sound and images were all out of sync. I have included two images to illustrate this problem:
Above is the original project. As you can see, I have audio and video on many different tracks, and lots of cuts.
This is what the project looked like after I had imported it into another project. Nearly everything is on one track, the footage goes for a few hours now (instead of 10 minutes) and the video and sound are all out of sink.
Then I tried File/Import/Import Selected Sequence. The only sequence I had the option of importing was Sequence 1. I did this, then dragged the folder icon onto the timeline, and I had a similar problem to before. Everything on one track, footage out of sync and going for a few hours.
Is there a way to import a project and maintain all of the editing (the cuts, the multiple tracks, etc.) as they are in the original? I have spent many hours editing both the footage and the opening credits, so I really don't want to lose all this work when I import one into the other. The good thing about copy and paste is that it maintains all of the original cuts and editing. Shame it is so unreliable.
Thanks heaps for all your help!

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Copy and paste from one timeline to another results in audio problem

Hi,
I'm trying to create a showreel by copying and pasting segments of edited sequences from the original timeline into a new 'showreel' timeline (in a separate project).
I keep having a problem with the audio when I paste the sequence. Dialogue seems to repeat, even though on the timeline the video and audio lines appear exactly the same as they do in the original timeline. I've tried to copy and paste the individual audio clips separately but it still seems to cause the same problem.
I've searched the discussion boards but can't seem to find any threads describing a similar problem.
If anyone has any advice I'd be really grateful.
Thanks..

Try dragging the image to the desktop, then drag the image to the slide you want it on

Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

How do I copy and paste text style for multiple video tracks?

hello,
I am creating multiple video tracks with text. I want to easily copy and paste the style, i.e., Font, Color, Size - rather than having to scroll down the giant list of fonts to find the one I want, then change the color, then change the size - each and every time. This is arduous.
I tried copy / paste of one text onto a new video track, but when I type in a different word, it alters the original.
I have 9 tracks of video for 9 different texts that will pop in and out of my video. I would like to be able to copy/paste then just change the text. This would save me a huge amount of time.

paulrudophmusic
I know of no way to alphabetized the Adobe Styles that come with the program.
If you had the time and the inclination, you could rename them all to force them to appear alphabetically, but that does not seem all that practical.
But, if your interest is in the Styles that you save and you do not hit the Reset File List, the new Styles will be at the bottom of the list and you can name them so that they appear that alphabetically at the bottom of the whole Styles list. But that does not address the matter of you having to scroll to the bottom of the Styles list.
In some instances, some things that you think that you cannot do in Premiere Elements obvious features, can be done by computer keyboard shortcuts. I check the keyboard shortcuts under the Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization and unfortuately did not find any that would be applicable to this situation.
As for your changes in one text file popping up unwantedly in another text file, that is because you have text files with the same name. Look into creating duplicates (with different file names) in Project Assets at the onset.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
