DNxHD 185x Sequence preview settings

Working with DNxHD 185x (1920x1080 25p) codec, I realized that when I create a new sequence dropping one clip to new element button, the new sequence's preview settings are DNxHD 120 (1920x1080 25p). Any idea why? I don't understand why premiere changes the preview settings to a lower quality codec.

No idea. But whenever 'automatic' behavior doesn't produce the desired results, you can always do things manually.

DNxHD as a Preview File?

I know that Colin said somewhere that this maybe is possible on a Mac, but is there any way I can use DNxHD as a preview file on a Windows machine?

Nope; the PC version of PPro won't let you use QuickTime as a preview file format. You're limited to I-frame MPEG2, a few various P2 formats (DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD), and any codec that PPro can access in an AVI container. You're familiar with the included and available add-on options there, I believe. In some respects, you have much more flexible preview file options in the Mac version.
While I doubt sincerely that we'd ever see QuickTime as a preview file format option in the PC version of PPro, you could fake this in a fashion by simply exporting your sequence (or sections of it) to a QT MOV with the codec of your choice, importing the MOV, and placing it on a track above the others in the sequence. Need to "re-render" a section? No problem: just mark a work area and repeat the above. Yes, it's kind of clumsy, but it would give you the net effect of rendering previews with QuickTime--practically speaking, this is all that you're doing when you're rendering previews, anyway. Previews are just more automatic.

Why is it that when I try to open a project, it says "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"?

It could be opened last night but today it just kept showing "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type". I really need to access my video.
Some help out there, please?

Lost three of my Digital Cinema Desktop Preview settings

I've come across a frustrating problem. I have lost the ability to choose three of my Digital Cinema Desktop Preview settings.
• Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Main -- OK -
• Digital Cinema Desktop Preview -- not available
• Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Full-Screen -- not available
• Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Raw -- not available
I reinstalled Final Cut Studio 2 hoping that returning to Final Cut 6 would resolve the issue but it did not.
Any suggestions?

Partial solution, if I remove my AJA KonaLH software and reboot my Digital Cinema Desktop Preview settings return. I tried re-installing AJAKonaLH6.0.2, 6.5 & 7.0 and in every case 3 of my Digital Cinema Desktop Preview settings would disappear. Now I suspect it was an update from Apple.

Mail preview settings

For some reason my Mail previews only appear on the right hand site.
Bevore they apperared below, the way I am used to. But for some reason I do not manage to change it back to the old settings.
Does any one know how to change the preview settings?
Thanks Rene

Thank you to everybody. Restarting is definitely solved the problem. Was it bug?

Question - Aperture Preview Settings

I import RAW photo files from my Canon S95 camera into Aperture 3.1.2, then touch them up a little (sharpen, straighten, correct lens distortion). I have read that the Aperture screen display of the newly-created Versions is influenced by the settings in Preferences/Preview. But do these Preview Quality and Preview Compression settings *also* affect the JPEG's I create when I perform the Export Version function ? I want to convert the touched-up RAW master files into the highest-quality JPEG's possible. At the same time I was hoping to shrink the amount of hard drive space gobbled up by these previews. Can I lower the Preview quality and still have high-quality JPEG exports?

Where did you read this?

No, they do not in any way, as long as you use an "Export" command and do not "export" by dragging from the Browser.

"touched-up RAW master files" are, in Aperture, Version. Use "File→Export→Version ... " and specify whatever you want in an Export Preset.

You can delete all of your Previews and still export Versions. The Preview settings have nothing to do with the export settings.
The User Manual page on Previews is a bit of a slog, but will answer -- iirc -- all of your questions. (If it doesn't, sorry -- I'm on a connection to slow to double-check links.)

Sequence Preview Presets or Codec?

I have a project I created on Premiere CS5, but I want to complete it on CC 2014 using my new MacPro at work.
Every time I try to open the file, I get this error:
This project contained a sequence that could not be opened.
No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
It is all Red footage, so I thought it might have something to do with Red codecs. But when I start a new project, and import a Red file, it works fine.
Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 was just installed on this system 2 days ago, so it should be up to date.
What am I doing wrong?
I am at my wits end. Any ideas?

Hi,
This is the activation issue, premiere pro is not getting activated properly.
Please quit all the Adobe applications.
Sign out from creative cloud desktop app and quit that as well.
Please go the following location and drag the Adobe folder to desktop
User Library >> Application support>> Adobe*
User Library>> Preferences>> Adobe*
Make sure you are in User library not in system library.
Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later
Then launch creative cloud desktop app and sign in.
Launch premiere pro and create a new project, It might ask you to sign in wit your Adobe ID and password to activate it.
Once done, Please quit premiere pro and relaunch it the check all the sequence presets.
Hope that helps.
Thank you,

Sequence compressor settings XDCAM EX 720p in final cut = render issues

sequence compressor settings set to XDCAM EX 720p in final cut renders a clip and gives an unwanted speedup of clip. I am using XDCAM EX 720p footage. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Try this; duplicate your sequence, select all and delete. Try editing one of your clips into the sequence. Does fcp tell you that your sequence settings do not match your clip settings?
If not, I don't have a clue (not the first time).

Sequence / Export Settings for Mixed Footage, Various Outputs

Using variety of footage from a Canon XA10, Premiere titles, After Effects Titles, stills in a variety of nested sequences.
In one of my sequences where I used the XA10 to set sequence settings it was interpreted as AVC-Intra 100 1080i. The problem I had was one Premiere title showed interlacing no matter what I tried to remove it. The only thing that worked was to change the sequence settings to AVC-Intra 100 1080p. When I exported it the interlacing was gone.
Other sequences from Digital Juice footage have native settings of ARRI Cinema Field: No Field Progressive. Eventually all these sequences will be lined up on a master timeline.
So my question is for individual and the master timeline sequence what settings should I use, or should I not care about it and let exporting settings take care of it? This project will be rendered to:
1. DVD with menu (Recommended export settings?)
2. Windows Media Computer file (Recommended export settings?)
I've read many threads that say wait till export, but my H264 exports of the AVC-Intra 100 1080i footage and Premiere titling had interlacing in Windows Media playback.
Thanks.

Thanks Kevin. I had seen Photoshop pop up a lot during my researching the problem, but was unsure if that was the best way to go for my specific problem. Tried it out, and I'm headed down the right road now, just have to tweak output settings. Thanks!

Preview settings

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out best preview settings. I have a mbp with a display of 1440 x 900. When in my office, I have mbp hooked up to 24" display with 1920 x 1200. When in office, masters are on ext. HD and I view them solely on 24" display. So when I take my mbp out of office, I'm relying on previews in my aperture lib. I have preview setting in Aperture set to 1900 x 1900 and 10 for quality. So my question is, do i need that resolution if I'm only using previews for mbp etc. Sort of a convoluted question , but I hope someone can answer. Btw, I did a serch and did not find an answer.
Thank you.
John

The usual suggestion is to set it the same as your main display, which is indicated by an asterisk next to the resolution in the preview settings preference. Previews are also used by other applications, so consider what resolution you need if using them in this way outside of Aperture, as they will be used regardless of which monitor you are using. The lowest setting appears to be 1280x1280, which should cover your current usage.
EDIT: Also bear in mind that previews can be regenerated when you want so you can change this setting in the future and rebuild the previews with your new setting.

Preview settings for shared librarys

I have setup my Aperture 3.02 library in my /users/shared folder and am accessing it on my macbook pro and iMac with no problems. My question is in regards to the preview settings on both computers. should they both be the same? The settings are set to x2560 on my imac and x1440 on the macbook pro to match their individual screen resolutions. Does it matter which computer I do the import on as to which preview size gets used?
Thanks!

The preview will get rendered by whichever machine last touched the version... (unless you have "automatically generate previews" turned off). At any point you can force a preview to update on one machine or the other.
You might want to consider using referenced masters, with the images setup in the shared folder, and having 2 different libraries. (A working library on the imac, and a portable library that is project by project and gets merged into the imac library.

PP 5.5 - DNxHD Matched Sequence Settings exports washed out video

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. We shot on Scarlet, and after color we got back 1920x1080 DNxHD files.
Im concerned because after conforming, I'm using Match Sequence Settings to export from Premiere and my export video is washed out and different than the original.
Here's the original DNxHD video that I got from our colorist. (all i did was change the filename)
https://www.yousendit.com/download/TEhXNU1KTlF6RS9xYk1UQw
This is the file Premiere spit out after using Match Sequence Settings (a little shorter because original clip had handles)
https://www.yousendit.com/download/TEhXNU1KTlE0b0R2WnRVag
Sequence Settings below. It's also worth it to note that even though I'm choosing 1080p 23.976 DNxHD 175 10-bit and clicking okay, whenever I click configure again under "Video Previews", the dropdown list has defaulted back to 1080i 59.94 DNxHD 220 10-bit. weird. 709 vs. RGB is not making a difference for me.
My Export settings, just for good measure. "Use Maximum Render Quality" isn't making a difference for me
Side by Side comparison. You can really see the difference in the hair above her left eye. Original has a bit more contrast.
I can get good looking exports using other codecs and settings, PhotoJPEG works pretty well, but I know in a lot of cases DNxHD is kind of a standard for finishing work, and up until now I've done mostly broadcast and I've never worked with this Avid codec before. This is our first project with this camera so I want to make sure I'm doing the post-color work correctly. Our colorist already kinda boned us by not haing a red rocket and basically forcing me to take this codec. I'm just wondering if there is some color management step or setting that I'm missing. I really need this export to match the original.
Thanks for all your help, hopefull i can learn something here

Have you tried comparing the footage from inside of Premiere? Put each of the before and afters over top of each other in Premiere itself and see if they look different. Honestly I downloaded your test file and played them from inside premiere right side by side and didn't notice the problem that I see occuring in your pictures. However I did notice a bit of aspect change or something. But nothing related to color.Anyways just try placing them in premiere and comparing them both from inside Premiere.
If just simply placing the files inside Premiere doesn't fix the issue to begin with. Then attempt to change your preview file format in premiere to something besides Quicktime.
But honestly in the pics you posted I can see a clear difference however when I pull both of your files from rapidshare into Premiere Pro on my windows machine using the standard mpeg preview codec I see no color differences.
Like Jim said though Quicktime can't be trusted for color accuracy it has several known gamma issues.

You need to set up a custom preset.
Then you might be able to set the preview.
