Import Sequence Settings instead of 'Match Sequence Settings'?

Hi, we have the following problem with Premiere Pro and Media Encoder (English CS5, German MacOS):
We film with Sony EX3 in Germany, so our media are always 1920x1080, 25fps, progressive, square pixels. We produce for streaming video, with differing resolutions and bandwith, but always 25fps, progressive, square pixels, H.264. Often we have to encode intermediate files for our Premiere/After Effects workflow (typically Quicktime Animation or MPEG2).
On export, Media Encoder defaults to Quicktime PAL DV (in CS4 it defaulted to Quicktime NTSC DV). As a result, we always have to enter the complete data: Codec, resolution, pixel aspect ratio, fps, field type, etc.
Now I heard of the "Match Sequence Settings" option in AME and already rejoiced. As it seems, too early. When checking that checkbox, everything becomes locked and cannot be adjusted. Even when sending it from Premiere to the queue in AME, I am not allowed to adjust the settings there. The "Settings" button is locked.
So all parameters, and even the Codec is locked in. As it seems, mostly MPEG I-Frame. But never H.264
This renders the function rather useless to us. Instead of "Match Sequence Settings" it would have been so much more useful to have an "Import Sequence Settings" option/function, with the ability to adjust them further.
Can this be achieved otherwise? Is there any hope that Adobe adds this option? What would I have to do to make that request (plea) noticed at Adobe?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi Jeff, thank you for the information.
It took a while, but then I realized that the preset you mention comes (only) with a few selected formats:
- MPEG2-DVD
- MPEG2-Blu-ray
- FLV/F4V
- H.264 Blu-ray
However, it does not come along with, e.g. Quicktime, MPEG2, H.264 which are the Formats we usually work with.
1. Any chance with Quicktime?
2. Are there restrictions when chosing MPEG2-DVD or H.264 Blu-ray instead of MPEG or H.264?
Regards,
Andreas

Exporting multiple sequences from Premiere with Match Sequence Settings...

If I individually select a sequence in Premiere and Export Media I have the option of checking Match Sequence Settings but with multiple sequences selected the option goes away. So I have to individually select the sequence, check the Match Sequence Settings box and add to the queue for every. darn. sequence. All I want is to export multiple sequences to Media Encoder with Match Sequence Settings (or add multiple sequences to the Media Encoder queue, same thing). Am I missing something? This seems like it would be used a lot...

For PC users, of which I am one, the Preview Render codec in the Sequence is usually MPEG so best to avoid it. If you can actually use ProRes, then it's understandable that you'd want to "Match Sequence" if possible.

Batch capture settings do not match project settings

Batch capture audio settings do not conform to project settings-
PROJECT SETTINGS ON CREATION OF NEW PROJECT:
For editing with IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) DV equipment.
Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced).
48kHz (16 bit) audio.
Drop-Frame Timecode numbering.
General
Editing mode: DV NTSC
Timebase: 29.97fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 720h 480v (0.9091)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second

Default Sequence
Total video tracks: 3
Master track type: Stereo

Please note audio setting for project 48kHz (16 bit) audio.
When I set for batch capture by creating off-line clips using the "Log Clip" option the off-line clip shows audio as
32KHZ 16-bit everyting else is correct as project settings.
Just prior to creating the off-line batch capture clip I had sucessfully captured from the same device using the same tape shot with the above settings including 48khz 16-bit audio by using standard " Capture" by setting in & out then clicking Capture>In/Out.
I've looked at capture settings etc...unable to determine to change audio settings etc or why the audio settings under batch capture do not conform to project settings...
Any ideas?
Tnx,
mick

Thanks for your reply, Harm....
Well now...having negated all the possibilities you listed, I decided to do a an actual batch capture with clips which I previously logged which reported audio at 32kHz instead of the project setting of 48kHz:
1. two clips were selected from the same device/tape ( both selected from the logging util which erroneously reported audio at 32kHz) for the batch
2. both clips captured "flawlessly"
3. both clips after the batch capture then reported audio as being 48kHz
Btw, I also did a batch capture from the same device/tape in Pr 6.x...and it reported and captured at 48khz...I must say, I must prefer the legacy version of Pr 6 for batch capture which creates a log .pbl file which can then be easily exported as a csv to and .xls etc..IMO, much more useful...and useable..
Mi dos pesos(.002US)
So it would appear there is some kind of bug in the Pr cs4 batch capture util that is erroneously reporting audio settings?
Should this go to the devel as a possible bug?
Tnx,
mick

Match sequence settings on import

seems i ALWAYS get the "clip settings do not match sequence setting" msg, with either match or don't match options....
my cameras CANON HFR10 shoots standard HD 1920X1080 at 29.97, and maybe i'm missing it, but it SEEMS like, no
matter which option i choose, and then check sequence settings, they are the same 30fps 1920X1080.   Is there a way
to check clip settings first?    or is it a matter of choosing either non-drop or drop frame ?   also, not really clear what that
actually DOES.   MAYBE none of this makes much difference?     PP CS6

If they match you do not get the message.
If you want matching settings drag a clip from the project panel into the New Item icon.
See this thread for screendump (not at my own pc right now).

Does exporting DV using "Match Sequence Settings"

I am capturing VHS and Hi8 home video using a Canopus ADVC-300 and Premiere Pro CS6. The output is DV, about 14GB/hour. Most of the captures are unattended (have a 4 TB disk, backed up of course, but space is not a big concern right now). I'd like to get everything imported before starting any serious editing, so I capture each tape twice: the first time, the video itself; then I rewind, turn the timestamp indicator overlay on, and capture again with the camera running at 2x speed. That way I can quickly find when a particular segment of a tape was recorded without winding the tape around in the camera, looking for the scene and the time isn't overlaid over the image.
I have two questions:
1) Since the captures are unattended, I need to trim the blue screen off the end of each captured files to save disk space. I'd like to confirm that if I trim a sequence and export with "Match Sequence Settings" set, that Premiere will not re-encode the DV except for the parts that I actually changed (I sometimes use dip to black around damaged segment of tape). Based on the export speed, I don't think it's recompressing and the quality looks the same but I'd like to double-check.
Does Premiere Pro CS6 always mark the timeline with the colored bar if processing is required? The "dip to black" parts get a yellow bar, but the rest has no bar. That would be a clue.
Also, the export dialog has "Use Maximum Render Quality" unchecked by default. I check it -- does it matter?
2) What is the best way to permanently associate a date/time with the captured video? I didn't see any way to bake it into the DV for each segment. I'm using comments in sequence markers, set at the start of each clip, but the sequence markers don't move if I ripple-delete, say 10 seconds of noise in the middle of a track. I can't figure out how to get markers attached to the video track instead of to the sequence. I found some videos that say how to do this, but they don't seem to apply to CS6. I found that if I export the sequence, the markers then do get backed into the DV. But I need them not to move if I ripple-edit. Is that possible?
3) My plan is to add a 3 or 5 second overlay title to the beginning of each segment saying what it is and when it was captured, but only for the final export. Is there a trick that I could use to create a title from a marker? This is not a big deal, but seems like a useful feature.
Sorry if the answer to these questions are obvious -- thanks for your patience.

Thanks for replying. The reason I want to re-export the captured DV is because I capture unattended, and don't know how much video there is on a 2 hour Hi8 tape or VHS tape.
I could find out by fast-forwarding through the tape and stopping, but it's more efficient to just capture the entire tape and then trim the end off the tape and re-export. I'm planning on archiving the raw DV capture, and 1-1/2 hours will fit on a 25GB BluRay disk. Two hours won't.
Thanks for the tip about the project panel. I never scrolled it to the right far enough to see the "description" or "log note" field. Hopefully those notes will wind up in the metadata of the DV .AVI file, but even if it doesn't, I'm planning on archiving the Premiere Pro project file with the DV .AVI file.
The copy/paste from marker to title is what I'm doing now. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something easier.
So... does anyone know if Premiere Pro will pass-through the original DV if I re-export after making minor edits?

Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

"disk full" message? when exporting 60fps sequences with "match sequence settings"?

Hi, I have searched the forums for this subject and found many discussions that went in different directions but no solutions or input from Adobe.
Summarizing,
everything exports well, both directly from PremPro CS6 and from AME (all input files (like 720p or 1080 p .mts AVCHD or .mp4 H264), all sequence settings, all export settings (like H264, 30 fps, 60 fps)
EXCEPT "match sequence settings" for 60 fps 1080p or 720p AVCHD footage, THEN you get the message "Disk full" after 10-20 seconds.
Of course, the disc is not full, there are no applied effects, and it worked well in CS5.5!!
So, Adobe, what can be done about this, no update yet??

Hi, Ann
Thanks for the reply.
My cache files are stored on a secondary (7200rpm) 1 TB disc
So are the preview files, render files and the source files, but there are no render or preview files, I just put the footage on the timeline in a "new sequence from clip" (which was AVCHD 1080p 60fps .mts file) and tried to export without editing.
I tried to export to this disc and also to the C: disc but got the same message:"Error compiling movie. Disc Full".
If I made the sequence 30 fps the "match sequence settings" export worked well.
I can export n H264.mp4 format at 60fps but I would like to just trim the clips in the timeline and save them without much loss for later editing.

I'm confused by Export Settings- Match Sequence Settings

I’ve created three sample sequences that are all NTSC 720x480 16.9, but each has a different Fields setting (Lower, Upper, and No Fields). When Exporting (File->Export->Media), the CS5 manual states the following for the Match Sequence Settings feature:
To automatically export a file from a Premiere Pro sequence with settings that exactly match the settings for that sequence, select Match Sequence Settings in the Export Settings dialog box.
I’m confused what it is doing because when selected, it always sets the Field Type to Lower, even when the sequence is set to Upper or No Fields. However, using a Match Source Attributes Preset, when available, the Field Type will indeed match the sequence’s Fields setting. Also, the Match Sequence Settings wasn’t even available when the sequence was set to Lower Fields.
I did read in one of the forums where it was mentioned that checking the Match Sequence Settings will match the sequence's Preview File settings. If this is true, I don’t see where one can set the Field of Preview Files.
If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I’d be most grateful. Thanks.

I am confused about how to create a project setting as well as Export setting. I have few videos with width 640 & height 360. Frame rate is 29 FPS. In project setting Frame Size i used 640 by 360 & pixel aspect ration is square pixel (1.0) . after i finish with editing i wanna to export in movie so in export setting i click on Match Sequence then render starts with 50% video quality i wanna to make that 100% but option is disable so what to do?
If I don't click on match Sequence then render will come in default size that is 720x480 . In this video quality comes 100%.
I am totally confuse kindly Help in this case.

Files too large if "Match sequence settings" selected

Hi there
I have a MTS file of 802MB as source file with below information. Besides this I am using a 30 seconds small AE intro animation using dynamic link.
If I choose "Match sequence settings", I get a file that is 2.15GB. You can see the source file was 802MB and output is 2.15GB which has become a real problem for me to upload it due to repeated disconnection and failure of ftp tools like Filezilla and CuteFTP to resume the upload process. (even though they claim to supprt resume of file transfers but I have to start it from zero bytes everytime)
So, all I need is to improve my understanding about the right encoding method instead of using "Match sequence settings". I had many hopes from H264 but I guess I am still getting large output files. Plase advise I have to finish this project as soon as I can and I am done with editing, inttro animations etc. Only the getting optimized output file and there upload has become a issue for me.
Thanks.

Don't use "Match Settings" - decide who the viewer is and choose from a variety of presets to suit your needs. For instance look under "H.264" and you will find a YouTube Widescreen HD preset, or there are iPod and iPad presets, all kinds of options.

How do I export multichannel audio with match sequence settings?

I have a prores file that has 10 channels of audio. I made a sequence with the same audio and video settings (I also tried dragging the video on the new sequence button with the audio import set to adaptive) and then I tried to render a clip out of it by using the match sequence settings. The audio export defaults to stereo and can't be changed. I'm using Premiere CC 7.2.2 on a Mac at the moment.

It's difficult to be helpful when you have an attitude. I read your post, and was offering suggestions for how to achieve what you seem to want to achieve. If you really need to use the Match Sequence Settings - rather than changing the settings to match manually - then clearly you're not going to be able to get multichannel audio. Since this does not seem like a bug, I would suggest submitting a feature request and asking for the Match Sequence Settings to support multichannel audio export.

Show match sequence settings in clip dialog premiere 5.5 where?

I am working in Premiere Pro 5.5 and I purposely made the Sequence 4:3 and 29.97 frames per second to test something out.
With the sequence at 4:3, I imported some HD DSLR clips into my bin. Of course this foothe is a much higher resoultion and the frame tare is 23.976 Frames Per Second not 29.97 FRames as is the sequence.
I add my clip to the sequence and it's supposed to ask me if I want to match the clips settings to the sequence. If I say yes, the sequence is supposed to change to 23.976 FPS and the Video is also supposed to match the clips video settings as well.
When I put my clip down, the box does not come up asking me if I want to change my sequence settings to the clip.
Why not?
Is there a box where I can check "show match sequence settings in clip dialog?"
If so, where is it?
If not, How can I get the box to come up when the clip does not match the sequence settings so I can check Yes.
Thanks in Advance

Sequence Settings Don't Match

Good evening.
I'm using FCP6 to edit video shot on a DVX100B in 24p Squeeze Mode. When I setup a new project I choose the following:
Format: (all formats) Rate: (all rates)
Use: DV NTSC 23.98 Advanced Pulldown Removal Anamorphic (a custom setting)
When I drop my first clip into the time line I inevitably get the following message:
"Attention- This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
Is there something I'm doing incorrectly, or should I just expect this and always allow FCP to change my sequence settings?
Thanks,
John

Hi,
that is normal message when your source material and your sequence settings don't match.
If you check from your media browser the item properties for your source material and then compare that with the sequence parameters, you will see something either in audio or video that doesn't match.
May be you've got anamorphic material and your sequence was not set with the anamorphic flag on.
Answering yes to that form will make sure you won't have to render all time you add a clip to your timeline.
Regards,
Armando.

Video gets SOFT after using export/ media/match sequence settings

Never had this on any other version of PP. PC based 64bit Win 7
EX: I get a job delivered to me that was shot on mini dv (now on a HD) & the clips are all seperated as they were shot.
I put them on the TL & want to make 1 long clip out of them.
I export-media-match sequence settings & the video gets 25% softer. Yes my sequence settings are correct.
I have tryed using "max render quality" button but made no difference.
Does cs5 have a problem in this area? The video looks terrible!
Please advise

Just drag your footage to the New Item button and will create a sequence that matches your footage.
There isnt a preset for that size but you can use the Desktop setting and create one that way too.

Premiere CS6 What to do with the Match Sequence Settings MPEG?

Premiere does not seem to handle long exports, meaning, videos that are over an hour. The only way I can get an export with a decent turnaround is to export using the Match Sequence Settings tab. After the export I can preview the file, but I cannot convert it. How do I convert this 22GB file for youtube? H.264, etc, I have tried and failed. Even Adobe Media Composer exports it with audio but no video. What gives?

Premiere handles long exports just fine. If not on your system, then something is messed up there.
Don't use "Match Sequence", just choose "H.264" for the Format, and for Preset choose "YouTube 720p".
I haven't uploaded anything longer than maybe 10 minutes to YouTube and I know they used to have some time and/or file size limits and those recently changed, but up to you to check that before you spend a lot of encoding time only to find they won't accept it, maybe needs to be cut into parts.
By the way, what is the video source format, and editing Sequence settings used in Premiere?
Thanks

I'm no longer asked to match sequence settings in Premiere Pro CC when dragging clip to timeline

I don't know what happened but all of a sudden, when I drag clips from project into the timeline, I'm no longer asked if I want to match clip settings with sequence settings. How can I re-enable this asking feature?
