Exporting Frames Second Question

Premiere Pro is really starting to piss me off. I have everything set to export to 720x480, yet the exported frames come out 1260x720 in prefect quality or 720x460 in crappy quailty it will not export the frame correctly. I never had this problem with 6.5, hell i haven't had half the problems when I wanted to do something simple.
So here is the question if it isn't obvious. WHY WONT IT EXPORT IN FULL QUALITY AT THE SPECIFIED SIZE?

ok I also figured something else out, the still images aren't getting the same board around them, that video file does which is probably cause 80% of my issue. Why its expanding or cropping the still images to meet the frame size with the stills and not with the video I probably wont ever figure out. And if i scale the stills to match the video it distorts so im going to have to add a few extra hours to my time and just clip frame cut the images i need.

Exporting a frame, stills question?

Hi guys,
My project is an HDV 50i PAL project and I have used the export-frame option and used some of these still frames on my timeline too.
It says the image is 1440x1080 and pixel aspect ratio is 1.333.
When exporting the final movie I export to dv avi then burn a dvd through encore.
Some are the pictures have wobbles on the edges or show the signs of the interlaced frames. (some do, some don't)
Can someone expain how to make these look better at the start?
Thanks
scott mackenzie

before you export picture try right button clicking and select Alway Deinterlace or Flicker remove (seems to work better)

Anamorphic Export & Motion Blur Questions

My project is set for 720x480, NTSC D1/DV Anamorphic. When I try to export it converts the 16x9 (720x480) to 4x3 (640x480).
I'm using "Movie - current project and canvas settings" when exporting. Here are the details:
"Apple ProRes 4444, 8-bit Color + Alpha
Field Rending On, Motion Blur On, Frame Blending On"
How do I get the ratio to remain 16x9?? Thanks!
Second question: Should "Motion Blur" be on when exporting? It was off by default when I started Motion (I'm that new to this).
Thanks for helping the newbie!

1440x1080 is not wide screen - it's 4:3 - it's used as a compression scheme to cram 1920 x 1080 pixels into a smaller space. Either tell Motion that the project is anamorphic, or set your project size to 1920x1080...

Publish settings Export frame set to 2 kills flvPlayback

To let my tiny preloader show up before its at 75% I changed
the export frame for classes to 2 in the publish settings. This
works for the preloader but now the flvPlayback doesnt work.
(except it does still work if I hit control enter a second time and
watch my preloder work.Bizzare!) The .flw file still wont playback
the .flv's when run on its own. Changing the export frame back to
"1" and all is fine except the preloader is a no show till it's at
75% or so.
Dosent seem to be any way to change properties for the
playback component itself.
help please. The last thread I saw on this subject had no
resolution and was from 2005.

wow, you waited a whole of 10 minutes to complain you're not
getting help?
You might want to rethink that strategy, or you'll likely not
get any help
at all.
Things export in the frame their in, unless you specify
otherwise.
A more proper way to make a preloader is to use a separate
movie, and load
the content into an empty movie clip. Then you can use
MovieClipLoader, and
accurately monitor and display the dl.

Converting HDV @ 16:9 to a 4:3 letterbox frame - stretching question

Hi
I'm helping a client export her project for a screening. Her sequence is HDV (1440x1080), playing of course as 16:9. The screening requires an MPEG-4 (H.264) of 640x480 frame size, with letterboxing.
Originally, I tried simply exporting the sequence using Quicktime Conversion - MPEG4 - then changed the export frame size to 640x480 and added letterboxing. But that didn't work: we got a 4:3 frame size, but the picture was squashed horizontally, with no letterboxing. I surmised it was simply showing the native aspect ratio of the HDV, which of course is already 4:3, and not taking account of the anamorphic footage.
So, next, we nested the sequence (or, at least, a sample of it), then copied and pasted into a new sequence with these sequence settings:
Frame size: 640 x 480 / Aspect ratio: NTSC (4:3)
Pixel aspect ratio: NTSC
It looked correct in the viewer. Exported it, and ... it's stretched horizontally. It's still letterboxed, and the Quicktime file claims that it's 640x480, but it looks like it's playing at 720x480.
Is this something to do with the pixel aspect ratio? How do I create and export a sequence which will look correct? Do I need to set square pixels in the sequence? Or do I need to choose a 720x480 frame? Or something else?
I'm sure this is "Pixel Science 101", but I'm stumped. Grateful for any help!
Many thanks.
Matt

Thanks for replying, Nick.

How can you not take the defining characteristics of your format into account?
I'm sure I'm not the first person to make that mistake. And yes, I do know that HDV is anamorphic, but I assumed that when exporting, it would continue to display it at 16:9 in a letterbox when I ask it to fit itself into a 4:3 frame. Anyway, we've clearly both written off that solution.
• Edit your HDV with the appropriate Sequence Settings.
• Export a self contained movie using Current Settings.
• Re-import the result and place it on the Timeline in a 4:3 Sequence. It will letterbox automatically.
• Export the H264 from this Timeline with the desired size settings.
This doesn't look awfully different from the second solution I used (nesting). I got my letterbox just fine, but my real problem is with the 640x480 Quicktime not looking like the 640x480 sequence I'm seeing in the viewer. As I said, it's slightly more stretched horizontally (people's faces are wider than they should be). My client is elsewhere in the country, so I don't have constant access to the project, but my guess is that Quicktime was actually showing the frame as 720x480. I don't know if that's a problem or not, and if so, how I go about fixing it (since QT claims that it's 640x480 already, I can't simply re-size the frame).

Distorted Aspect Ratio of Exported Frames

My project's aspect ratio is 16:9 (720 horizontal, 576 vertical).
I inserted a clip into the timeline.
I exported a certain frame to a file as an image.
The image file's size: 720 x 576.
I proceeded to import the image file into the project, and inserted it into the timeline.
The image's aspect ratio is not the same as the original footage.
Specifically, the horizontal side is narrower than originally (see attached screenshots).
What causes this discrepancy?
More importantly, what can i do to get exported frames to match the aspect ratio of the project?

OK, I've got the BMP. When I looked at your images, I thought that we were seeing your still image on the Timeline. We are not. That shape/size is what was produced.
Now, remember that I am on PrE 4, so things will be different in PrE 8. Still, I should be able to get you close. In PrE 4, one uses File>Export>Frame to do a Frame capture under the CTI (Current Time Indicator), and visible in the Program Monitor. When you choose this, you will get the standard Windows dialog screen, where you name and locate your still image. There is also a settings button, that will open up a second dialog box, for you to adjust many attributes of your Frame capture. There, you will have three choices in the left-hand Pane: General, Video and Keyframe and Rendering. First, go to General, and you'll get File Type w/ a dropdown. There, you can choose the format type and should have JPEG, TIFF, BMP, TARGA and GIF (maybe more in PrE 8, like PNG?). I'd stick with TIFF or BMP. About the only other choice is whether you want to add this captured still in your Project, or not. That is your choice.
Go to the Video listing in that left-hand Pane. There you can choose the Frame Size, the PAR and the Color Depth. Make sure that these match your Project's and your source footage's exact specs. Unless you need the Alpha Channel, and are using either TIFF or TARGA, leave Color Depth to Millions of colors. Otherwise, choose Millions +, where the + is that Alpha Channel.
I'd guess that it's in those settings, as to what is happening with your Frame capture. Let me know if you get this sorted, and sorry for my mis-step, but I was not clear on what I was seeing, and where I was seeing it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Export Frame - Pixel Aspect Ratio

The video in my timeline is 720 by 480 (1.2121). When I clip on "Export Frame" in the program window it exports a jpg that is 720 by 480 (0.9091)
I know I can right click on it and "modify - Interpret footage" and correct the pixel aspect ratio.
My question is "Why is it doing this and how can I correct it"?
Is their a setting I'm missing? Why does it change the pixel aspect ratio?

The jpeg is not square. The pixel aspect ratio would be 1 and not .9091, if it were.
I have two computers. On one the "Export Frame" exports the jpeg with the same pixel aspect ratio.
The other machine changes the pixel aspect ratio from 1.2121 to .9091.
I can't find any differences in my settings.

CS4 doesn't allow Export Frame as a Still Image??

In CS3, I could create a still image of a frame (tiff file) by placing the CTI on the frame in the Source Monitor and then choose File>Export>Frame. This would create the file and place it in the Project I could adjust the default of the length of the still image through Preferences>General>Still Image Duration.
The File>Export>Frame option is no longer in CS4.......???
Can anyone tell me the quickest way to create or export a still image from the Source Monitor in CS4??
Thanks a TON!

How can I include the Frame Number when using "Export Frame"?

Im using the button at the bottom right of the Playback Control Panel called "Export Frame". This does exactly what I need but I have a lot of frames that need single frame exporting. How can I get the file name to automaticly include the frame number at the end of the file name?
For example, instead of it displaying "Sequence 01.Still001" by default. I would like for it to display "Sequence 01_0001" Letting me know that is frame 0001.
This is possible, correct?

Well what about in the export option using CTRL + M? I saw a coworker using this method in an older version of Premiere, but we can't enable it on CS5.5. Being able to export a single frame as a bmp that has the frame number at the end of the file name.
Example:
Output Name: Sequence 01_0001.bmp
Under Video Basic Setting is:
Export As Sequence UNCHECKED
Field Type: Progressive
Frame number still doesn't show at end of file name. What are we missing?

Is "export frame" the highest quality?

Hi. Sometimes I want to have a video clip freeze. That is to say, the final product will have two or more frames that are identical, taken from a single frame of a movie clip.
The way I've been doing this is using the Source or Program monitor to find the relevant frame, export it, and re-import it as a still. Yet, it occurs to me that when watching videos in the Source or Program monitors, I am not watching the video at its highest quality. When I finally render my product, I will render it at highest quality. Does this cause a mis-match between the exported frame and my final product?
When I "export frame", does Premiere take the time to render that frame at best possible quality? Or am I just getting a preview-quality frame?
Richard

The exported/frame grabbed frame will be full quality. The lowered quality is for preview purposes only from within Premiere itself. As long as you don't select .jpeg and stick with a lossless image format when you do a frame grab from within Premiere it will be full quality.

I have created a .png logo to use on my video. It has it's own storyline so the logo is shown overthe whole video. Do I need to composite the logo storyline to the main storyline before exporting? Same question for the audio storyline.

What does that mean!??? My movie export correctly and

Preloader - export frame for AS 2 Classes - not initizialising component

I am using Yahoo's Map Component on a website. When I edit
the Export Frame in Publish settings so that the AS classes are
exported on a frame other than 1 (so my preloader is accurate) my
component does not initialize. I've researched relentlessly on a
solution to this, apparently the same happens for some default
Flash components, and just cannot find one.
Does anyone have any ideas?
In addition AS2 Classes add nearly 400k to my file size. Is
there anyway around this?

Export Version Name Question

When i use this name format it names the file like in the example. But I noticed the (1 of 1) never changes when I export the second version from this master file. Insead it will name it IMG_7436 (1 of 1) (1).jpg......When will the 1 of 1 change to 2 of 2)? The only way I see to get the exported version number to change is by using the counter in the naming and not the sequence... I dont understand what the sequence name does..Any thoughts?

The sequence number (as well as the index number if you;re using that format) only change if you're exporting a number of images in at one go. It resets to the starting value each time you begin exporting.
Also the second number in the sequence reflects the number of images in this export session. So if you're exporting 9 images the firnt one wil be 1 of 9 the second will be 2 of 9 etc.
