FLICKER IN HIGH CONTRAST AREAS Premiere CS5.5

Hi,
I am getting video flicker in high contrast areas of my videos. I recently posted up a discussion to get the correct sequence settings and that has worked miracles...
Here are the links to my previous discussions...

Now, my footage is looking great but when I play it back on a TV in DVD format, areas with detail, such as... Details on an Indian wedding dress, trees, backgrounds with distinct dark and light shades all flicker. By he way, I've slowed the footage down to 30%.
I've already read some posts...

I tried reading others and looking for them but didn't find the problem or resolution specifically.
I have already tried right clicking the footage, going to field options, then clicking flicker removal, but when I play it back the picture is good until the camera pans, and that's when you can see he picture jumping or jittering.
Ot sure if you need these details but here they just incase.
I use windows 7 64
Premiere CS5.5
I read about the temporal smoothing, but also read that it doesn't work in manual mode of the shadow/highlight effect.
Below are some images of my sequence and project settings + clip info

Hi Ann,
I've tried a different TV (2 different TVs) and the results are a a little less flickering but the flickering is still there. I also checked the speed and it was at 45%. I then went ahead and changed the speed duration to 25% and then did another export at 50% speed duration as well. I found that the picture was a little steadier but the flickering in high contrast areas were still the same.
I also did another export with the same settings, 'speed duration' - 45%, 25%, 50% with Flicker Removal in the field options and in the steady shots it was great but if the camera or objects were moving then the picture jumps. Would you have any more suggestions I could try?
Was 45% speeed duration then the wrong speed to choose?

Clarity/shadows + distortion correction = terrible artefacts in high contrast areas

common example (clarity and shadows +100):
without distortion correction
with distortion correction
Raw file: nycz.info/temp/castle.dng

The adhoc fix I'm using for images where it's causing problems is to paint out the problem areas with a localised adjustment brush with a very large hit of negative clarity. As most of the problem areas have been pretty small it's an easy fix, but I'd like to see the issue addressed before the final comes out as close examination has shown it up on quite a few images (reflective mike against black stage background, pier edges against a bright but cloudy sky, tree branches against the sky). I've also now set my default to having lens profile distortion off and only using it where I need it.
Edit to add: Unfortunately on the image I'm working on at the moment, it only removes it as long as clarity is set to less than 50 - I need the lens adjustment to get the horizon flat, and I want the clarity, but if I try to have both I'm getting nasty white streaks along the pylons of a pier and it shows at screen size let alone on prints or 100 per cent view. With this particular image any amount of clarity over about 15 and the profile image adjustment is producing ghastly results, visible at small sizes.
Edit again - urggggh. Manual adjustment to level horizons (beach images again) using lens correction plus clarity isn't good either. I've got rather a lot of those and basically can't use any amount of clarity or I start getting areas of light stripes along dark high contrast edges. However if i go to the crop and straighten settings, and straighten there, it's fine.
Edit again: Ok this is an app killer. Back to Lightroom 4.0 (If I can work out how!). Too many of my images are affected, and affected noticeably. What a shame as the defringing in RC2 is absolutely fantastic on long lenses, but this is affecting too much stuff.
I'm getting it on quite a few images I've done nothing to excepted converted them to LR4 - it's very clear on the before/after previews of PV2010 and PV2012. And the edges don't have to be that high contrast - I'm not sure if this screen shot shows it clearly enough but conversion gives a row of little white dashes along the green girder in the attached images Click on images to see them a bit larger- the first image shows small size before and after comparison with problem area highlighted - nothing done except change process PV2010 to PV2012; second image shows PV2012 magnified a bit. Turning off the enable profile corrections button returns image to PV2010 appearance. Removing clarity adjustment will also remove artifacting - in this case it's the clarity that is mucking things up. I can get the same artefacts with clarity on zero and the shadows pushed up above 70. Clarity gives problems at much lower settings.

Healing brush tool at lines of high contrast

I love the healing brush tool but hate how it doesn't work right in the proximity of high contrast areas. It leaves that little light or dark halo. Can anyone tell me why/how/solutions as to why it does this? I know bumping up the hardness works a little but then you might as well use the clone tool. Any thoughts?

I know bumping up the hardness works a little but then you might as well use the clone tool.
There's more to the Healing Brush than that. It blends the surrounding pixels and what you just painted together to create a seamless composition (most of the time anyway) while the Clone Stamp Tool will basically only copy/paste pixels. To get rid of the bleeding effect when using the Healing Brush you have to make a selection that would not include the areas of high contrast. You can also try using the Clone Stamp Tool set to either the Darken or Lighten blend modes to make it blend better with the rest of the composition.

When slowly panning , objects or areas with high contrast , flicker / shake

Hello,
I purchased a canon 5d mark3 to use mostly as a video camera. I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue (I'm explaining it in more detail below).
I've been in contact with canon repair facility and tech support for the past 2 months (since I first purchased the camera. I sent the camera for repair already twice and both times I got the camera back after supposedly been “fixed” but the exact same issue is still there… I’m already frustrated and confused about this… I haven't had an answer or a solution as today.
I'm wondering if anybody else is having a similar issue. I did find some people online complaining of a similar problem but most of those pages are a year old or so.
I have been also researching and looking to all kinds of videos (specially at vimeo) where the 5d mark3 it's been used and even in more extreme and faster panning I don't see the same issue I'm experiencing.
Some technicians at canon think it may be an issue with the lens ( 24 - 105 canon lens that comes with the camera).
I did run all kinds of tests etc (even at B&H where I purchased it) with no luck .
Here is a more detail description of the issue:
The problem is that (even with a fluid head tripod) when slowly panning , objects or areas with high contrast , flicker / shake (most noticeable on white objects with daylight over a dark surface). This happens at 24 and 30 fps (not at 60fps) The technician on the phone mentioned that I should use higher shutter speeds (I was using 1/50 for 24fps and 1/60 for 30fps) I did try it with several shutter speeds all the way up to 4000 and the issue is even more noticeable. I tried with and without IS with the same result. I actually probably I already tested all the different settings always with the same results.
I will appreciate any ideas or knowledge on this issue …also I would like to hear from other users with the same problem…
Here I uploaded a few examples:

Ok so really? nobody has nothing to say about it? why? nobody can see the issue? nobody cares? or is just uncomfortable?any canon tech reading the forums?

PC Recognizes HV20 but no frames are captured in Premiere CS5? (Or HDVSplit)

Hi there.
Recently upgraded my laptop to a nice Sager NP8130 as a mobile editing workstation, and when I went to begin capturing HDV footage the other day, I wasn't able to!
My PC detects the camera (Canon HV20) fine, it shows up in device manager as functioning. In Adobe Premiere CS5, and HDVSplit I can use the playback controls to shuttle the tape around, and I even get timecode feedback correctly on the PC.
But no matter what, I can't get any dang video to capture!
Camera and cable are definitely working fine; I dug out my old laptop and captured the footage I needed with no problem.
If anyone has any ideas, or any experience with this error, I would dearly appreciate any input,
Thanks!

Unfortunately, with no success, I also tried that method of switching to the Legacy firewire driver, as it used to be a common suggestion back in the vista days.

Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software. I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back.
Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile. A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C: Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project - the problem persists.
Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up. I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me. Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive. Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything. I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system. Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr. Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.

I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
PREFACE:
OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too).
If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem. I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem. I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe. Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle).
In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM. bla bla bla, puke...whatever. Bottom line is this:
It's not a software issue. It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no! It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue! HA HA. The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
SOLUTION FOR ME:
Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard. Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating. A very handy, time-saving tool!!! Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
Intel Chipset
Wired Networking
and one non-intel driver:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard.
ROOT CAUSE:
While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

Premiere CS5 & GTX470, 2.5Ghz quad performance ?

Hi All,
Thanks for the great contributions in this forum.
I am having trouble with a multicam project with 5 video layers of HD (2 layers 1440 x 1080 HDV and 3 layers 1920 x 1080 from Canon DSLR's) at 29.97.
The playback performance is stuttering and freezing but the sound keeps going. The sequence is setup as HDV 1080i30 (60i).
I wanted to know if my system specs. up to scratch to handle this multicam edit? Should I expect a smooth uninterupted edit or are my expectations too high?
Has anyone else have similar issues and how did they reslove them.
GPU is definitely enabled as the renderer, but the processor is maxing out.
The overall computer RAM usage is 2.8 Gb, but watching the processes in the task manager, Premiere seems to not use more the 2Gb RAM.
I have distributed the video across 3 hard drives plus a separate OS drive.
I have just upgraded my videocard to a Gigabyte GTX470 hoping take advantage of the mercury engine.
Computer specs as follows:
I am running Premiere CS5 version 5.0.2 on freshly installed W7.
Motherboard P5K; CPU Q9300 2.5Ghz quad
4 gig ram
Gigabyte GTX470
750Watt Antec Truepower
4 x various 7200 drives

Thanks Baz and Harm for your recommendations,
I will start with a RAM increase then try the CPU. I don't normally have this many heavy layers at once. It is a one-off job.
Otherwise will go for the full upgrade.
Best wishes

JPG images get corrupted during import to Premiere CS5.5

I'm doing time lapse movies, and import a series of images by choosing the first file, and checking "Numbered stills". After the import (of about 420 JPG files), one of them was being corrupted. It now has a discolored break in it:
The corruption was not present before the import, so it was definitely caused by Premiere CS5.5. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original file (from my memory card). So I essentially lost this image (although the embedded thumbnail is still intact).
Is this a known issue? Will there be a fix?

Thanks for your comments and links, everyone. I've read them, and want to clarify a few things:

Too many of too large pictures can cause problems
Thanks for posting these. I find it disappointing, that large pictures are not being handled well by Premiere. I mean, the images that I'm using are 3648x2736. If that is considered too large, then I would need to batch resize them, e.g., to 1920x1440. But then I would not be able to get high-quality panning and zooming...
Jim Simon wrote:

You must have it. PP doesn't do anything to imported assets other than show them to you. If the image wasn't exactly where it was when you imported it, Premiere Pro would simply see it as offline.
That's not correct, I'm afraid. Each time I import one or more images, Premiere edits the file(s). I believe it is related to the XMP ID. You can even "watch" it do the edits because every JPG file briefly gets rewritten with ._00_ in front of its original file name, e.g., IMG_1234.JPG briefly becomes ._00_IMG_1234.JPG. Afterwards, the original file is being replaced with the new one (which apparently contains the XMP ID tag now).
On a sidenote: I've had several files stay with the ._00_ file name but the original was removed. Meaning that Premiere somehow "forgot" to rename them back. This happened on 8-12 images (out of 600). Very weird.

I'm assuming that's what's causing it. And yes, that option is enabled on my computer. So while the XMP ID tagging went fine for the other 419 images (and frankly for thousands of others before that), it somehow went wrong on one of them. (I should say two because it did happen twice to me so far.)
I will disable the option "Write XMP ID to files on import" from now on, and hope that I can avoid image corruption by that. But from what I understood, this will have other consequences (performance degradation).
The only alternative would be to keep a backup copy of all images before importing them to Premiere...
In any case, I believe this is a bug that should be fixed - together with the above mentioned bug on large images.

Screen goes black for 3 seconds in premiere CS5 every time I click

This is the first time I run Premiere CS5... On a fresh system install.
I suspect it's not playing well with my video card, a Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB Ram... Very standard stuff. I am running window 7 64 bit with 12 gb RAM, a week old build. I have all the updates and latest drivers, sigh. After Effects CS5 runs fine, Maya 2010 runs fine, Quicktime runs fine... What gives.
Here's what happens: I only need to launch Premiere, right away I get the problem. The screen goes black 3 seconds before the prompt to create a new project. Once I create the project, the application workspace comes in, but if I click any menu, drag a tool window (whatever they are called), the screen goes black 3 seconds then comes back. Its basically impossible to work...Huge drag.
Update:
The problem stopped after I went into the 'device settings' in preferences and set the device to 'none'....When I clicked on the device settings panel, my monitor went black, and there was a 'no signal' warning that came up, as if the DVI-D signal was dead. I was able to restore the signal by hitting ctrl-alt-del which switched me out of Premiere onto the desktop. Clearly, there is some issue with video. I switched back into Premiere and was able then to set to no devices.
I'm not doing any capture at the moment, but I can only pray that it's some sort of bug related to not having a device connected? I plan on bringing footage from a RED in the next month. I upgraded to CS5 specifically so that I could use more than 4 gigs of RAM and for the new features.

THank you for sending this.
I followed the benchmark directions, and I get an error at the final step
when I run the script:
line 99
Error: path not found
I tried for an hour different things, namely to re run the whole test
procedure, deleting the output files, etc... he script is looking for
something in the preview files that it is not finding. I think the procedure
was written for a previous version, because the metadata settings are
different in my version of AME, and I don't know how much that affects it.
Also, AME increments the file names when it renders them so that I did not
get the right output file names at the first render. I had to turn off
incrementing and manually name each clip before rendering. The vb scricpt
looks for these names, so I understand it is important. I can't figure out,
however, what the script is looking for in the preview folder and not
finding.
After spending almost two hours trying to troubleshoot the script, I gave
up. I can tell you tho that it takes about 6-7 minutes on my box to encode
all the videos.

CS5 - When Capable for nanoFlash Sound with Premiere CS5

Well Folks, here we go again. I made the mistake of ordering and paying
for and going through the grief of installing CS5 - I should have my head
examined (as my Dad used to say to me frequently!), after 13 years of
purchasing the latest Adobe updates. But excuse me, to the subject:
I have an EX1 with nanoFlash producing stunning pictures at 1920x1080 30p
100 Mbps Long GOP MXF Files, and Premiere CS5 handles the video beautifully,
but the audio right out of the box for me and all the other nano people is
gutter garbage, with stereo, one audio channel lagging the other (which can
only be laboriously fixed with each individual clip - argggghhh)!
And Adobe, in its infinite marketing hype and wisdom has decided that users
such as I are not important enough to fix this issue, even with the update!
Does anyone at Adobe or out there anyplace have any notion as to when this
will be FIXED?
In the meantime, after a total rewrite of my hard drive OS and all the other
apps for a clean install, I am back to CS4, using Premiere CS4 with the Main
Concept plug in enabling the appropriate handling of my nano files. But good
greif! The time it takes to get out of the timeline, and particularly so compared
to the otherwise superb performance of Premeire CS5.
Convergent Designs - the company which developed and makes the nanoFlash
and related products announces that Adobe has two nanos in hand!
I know, I know, I should have my head examined. But if anyone out there has
any comments avoiding that, I's appreciate the latest info or even gossip!!!!

AndyUrtu:
In response to your query above re output on my nano, with which I am having difficulty in PPCS5:
Video: 1920x1080, pixel depth 32, frame rate 29.97, pixel aspect ratio 1.0,
MPEG 2 - 4:2:2 - progressive - CBR 100,000 Mbit/sec - Long GOP N 15 M 3
Audio: PCM AES-3 - 48,000 Hz 24 Bit - 2 Channel
Soooo, I think that pretty well covers it! Now for some commentary, and to me, the
interesting query about trying other settings! Frankly, I hadn't even thought of that.
First, according to all the users I admire and respect, and according to the principals
of CG (Convergent Designs), the 100 Mbits/sec settings seem best and ideal in
terms of securing the best picture quality at the "lowest" data rate (if you can call
that a "low" data rate!). So I'm really not willing to change the video set up. But
I find the idea of doing something different with the audio interesting, and may
try some different settings, since my (and others') issue is with the audio.
From the outset, the principals at CG reported that there were problems with the
audio in nano files with PPCS5, and they implied that Adobe would likely provide
a fix. So I went ahead and purchased the nano and the Production Pemium Suite CS5
with the expectation that a solution would shortly be forthcoming.
You and I are not alone in experiencing this problem, notwithstanding comments to the
contrary!
And I took Harm's (another one of my Heros!) to heart, and just posted my issue
Adobe's Bug site.
I may be mistaken, but I believe that CG has just produced the thousandth nano,
and while this is miniscule compared to other devices providing files for Adobe,
for those of us who own a nano, the issue is monumental - personally and professionally,
the combo of the Ex1 and the nano produces such stunning fidelity for anything
under 20 or 30 thousand, that I am not willing to settle for anything less.
I hope that the Adobe person will supply some hard data here about the nano
settings which provide error free handling of nano files! It would be MUCH
appreciated.

After updating to Version 29.0.1, high contrast no longer works.

I use Windows 7's High Contrast frequently (it is much easier on my eyes). After Firefox updated to Version 29.0.1, the browser no longer displayed web pages in high contrast (white text on black background). Is there a way to fix this? (I am now back to using Version 28, which works correctly)

Problems updating projects to new versions of Premiere (CS5 to CC and CC to CC 2014) Memory consumption during re-index and Offline MPEG Clips in CC 2014

I have 24GB of RAM in my 64 bit Windows 7 system running on RAID 5 with an i7 CPU.
A while ago I updated from Premiere CS5 to CC and then from Premiere CC to CC 2014. I updated all my then current projects to the new version as well.
Most of the projects contained 1080i 25fps (1080x1440 anamorphic) MPEG clips originally imported (captured from HDV tape) from a Sony HDV camera using Premiere CS5 or CC.
Memory consumption during re-indexing.
When updating projects I experienced frequent crashes going from CS5 to CC and later going from CC to CC 2014. Updating projects caused all clips in the project to be re-indexed. The crashes were due to the re-indexing process causing excessive RAM consumption and I had to re-open each project several times before the re-index would eventually complete successfully. This is despite using the setting to limit the RAM consumed by Premiere to much less than the 24GB RAM in my system.
I checked that clips played; there were no errors generated; no clips showed as Offline.
Some Clips now Offline:Importer CC 2014
Now, after some months editing one project I found some of the MPEG clips have been flagged as "Offline: Importer" and will not relink. The error reported is "An error occurred decompressing video or audio".
The same clips play perfectly well in, for example, Windows Media Player.
I still have the earlier Premiere CC and the project file and the clips that CC 2014 importer rejects are still OK in the Premiere CC version of the project.
It seems that the importer in CC 2014 has a bug that causes it to reject MPEG clips with which earlier versions of Premiere had no problem.
It's not the sort of problem expected with a premium product.
After this experience, I will not be updating premiere mid-project ever again.
How can I get these clips into CC 2014? I can't go back to the version of the project in Premiere CC without losing hours of work/edits in Premiere CC 2014.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

To answer my own question: I could find no answer to this myself and, with there being no replies in this forum, I have resorted to re-capturing the affected HDV tapes from scratch.
Luckily, I still had my HDV camera and the source tapes and had not already used any of the clips that became Offline in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
It seems clear that the MPEG importer in Premiere Pro CC 2014 rejects clips that Premiere Pro CC once accepted. It's a pretty horrible bug that ought to be fixed. Whether Adobe have a workaround or at least know about this issue and are working on it is unknown.
It also seems clear that the clip re-indexing process that occurs when upgrading a project (from CS5 to CC and also from CC to CC 2014) has a bug which causes memory consumption to grow continuously while it runs. I have 24GB RAM in my system and regardless of the amount RAM I allocated to Premiere Pro, it would eventually crash. Fortunately on restarting Premiere Pro and re-loading the project, re-indexing would resume where it left off, and, depending on the size of the project (number of clips to be indexed), after many repeated crashes and restarts re-indexing would eventually complete and the project would be OK after that.
It also seems clear that Adobe support isn't the greatest at recognising and responding when there are technical issues, publishing "known issues" (I could find no Adobe reference to either of these issues) or publishing workarounds. I logged the re-index issue as a bug and had zero response. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced these particular issues?
This is very poor support for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Lesson learned: I won't be upgrading Premiere again mid project after these experiences.

.MOD files in Premiere CS5

I am trying to import .MOD files into Premiere CS5, with no joy.
If I change the file extension to .MPG, Premiere can import the video, but no audio.
Can anyone advise on how I can import .MOD files successfully, with both video and audio?
Many thanks

Oh boy, JVCs ill fated .mod file extension. I hate this thing. Hate it. It's next to impossible to do anything with. When i first got a JVC tapeless cam in 2004 it ran this extension. All I used with it was the pack in software that worked fine. Well over the years I started using more advanced cams and more advanced software. A year ago I wanted to go back to that old cam and use some old footage for a DVD project, in PrPro cs4. It was a nightmare. I finally, FINALLY, found the answer after using several NLEs, converters, and such to get it to work in adobe. So here's what I found:
from my experience, basically all interactions with JVC tapeless media has left little to be desired. i have done many dvds in .mod format because i had gotten the very first JVC tapeless cam in 2004ish. the .mod files are.... almost imposible to work with, outside of using cyberlink. i tried sony. i tried adobe. i tried FCP and all results... were dismal. (i was filming in 16x9 the rograms that DID read .mod, which was Vegas, would not accurately flag the footage as Widescreen) the ONLY way i could get the widescreen footage to show up as widescreen other than using cyberlink software was to use
http://www.cyberlink.com/products/mediaespresso/overview_en_US.html
and convert to a straight up no strings .mpg2 file. then it worked in the other NLEs. So basically the only way I could successfully import and edit a .mod file with premierepro was to use that converter.
