Importing a 512 sequence into a 1080p sequence

When you edit a sequence in 512 and want to render out in 1080...do you have to make a new 1080p sequence, then imoprt the 512 and render it out for full 1080 quality? Also, if you don't render your files, does this prolong the export process in Encore? Basically what I'm asking is are rendered files only for playback purposes?

I started with 4k red footage in a 512 red sequence
Did you use the Source Settings menu in CS4 (see above image)
to set your 4K footage proxy resolution to "Eighth" (512x288),
then create a 512x288 sequence to match the proxy settings?
then brought it into a 1080 red sequence
If the answer to the above question is yes, am I correct to assume
you copied and pasted the proxy resolution media from your
512x288 proxy resolution sequence to your 1920x1080 sequence
then used the "Scale to Frame Size" command?
Some of the nested sequences translated great, but a few of them looked like 512 again.
If you did use the Source Settings menu in CS4 to set your 4K footage
proxy resolution to "Eighth" (512x288) for editing in CS4, did you then go
back and reset the 4K resolution to "Full", save the project, quit application
and reopen project to apply settings to all clips before trying to open the
project in CS5?
Edit:
My 4K workflow in CS4 was to use a full 4096x2304 sequence setting
with proxy resolution media Source Settings, and "Scale to Frame Size".
After editing is completed I would return to media Source Settings,
set the resolution to full, save, exit, reopen and render.

PP CC - can I change a normal sequence into a multicam sequence?

I have made a sequence with 4 videos along with audio and they are now hand sync'd together.
I would like to change this sequence into a multicam sequence. Can this be done in CC without losing the work already done to the videos?
All I can find about multicam cam in PP CC, is you have to start with all the footage selected and then choose to create new multicam sequence. Should you not be able to change your mind and be allowed to change an already created normal sequence into a multicam sequence?
Sorry but just used to CS6. Hope I don't have to start over again.
Cheers

Nest that first sequence into another, then right click and Enable Multicam.
This is the original (and in my view still the better) way to create multicam sequences. The Help file should have this as the very first listing, with the new 'auto' methods coming after. (Kevin?)

*** Dropping an HDV sequence into a DV sequence for DVD output

I would like to output my HDV project to DVD but don't have an HDV camera or deck. I've dropped a few clips into an SD (anamorphic) sequence and rendered it out, but when the playback is viewed on a tv, it is jittery and not smooth as it needs to be.
I've had success sending my HDV project directly from FCP to compressor, but in this case, I can't do this because my next problem is having a glitch where it causes FCP to crash during the outputting to Compressor process.
This is the next workaround I've though of.........but it is having difficulty working.......is there another option or a setting I can change on this one?

All of the HDV footage I've worked with has been Lower Field First. If you want to de-interlace, use Apple's de-interlacer that can "interpolate" instead of duplicate or blend. This maintains the images edges. this can be found in Compressor, Shake, and even Motion. Also, Sending a sequence out to Compressor straight from Final Cut may seem like a good idea, but remember that HDV uses MPEG 2 Interframe encoding, and a lot of your cuts take place between complete frames. I've heard of a lot of problems, and experienced them myself by going this rout. I'd recommend exporting your entire sequence to a self-contained movie, which will render it completely, then taking that in to Compressor to convert to DVD or any other format. I like using the Apple Intermediate Codec or DVC PRO HD because it converts it to an Intraframe encoded format, aka, every frame stands on its own. It takes up more drive space, but its far less CPU intensive. While you're in compressor, you'll have to go into the "Frame Control" tab and set up your de-interlacing, which I believe lets you choose something like "motion estimation" or "best" which will interpolate the fields and produce sharper results. In Motion, it's just a filter. In Shake, its a node, or you can use the FileIn node to convert the format which can do the same.

Drag sequence into sequence (not nesting).

Drag sequence into sequence (not nesting). It was possible in the previous version of Premiere but now, when I drag the sequence into a new sequence it's not mergind all video and audio into one clip anymore. It was REALLY usefull. How can I do it again. Don't tell me to NEST sequences... this is not the same and now what I need. I wss dragin the sequence from the browser into a new sequence so it was easy to add effect on the entire sequence and also, my audio clips were combine into that one clip sequence too which was amazing. Now, with Premiere pro CC, when I drag that sequence from the browser into a new sequence, I get the original sequence... just like if I've copy/paste the entire sequence... = really bad and useless !

I wss dragin the sequence from the browser into a new sequence
That is nesting.
But with CC there is now the option of adding the sequence as a one clip, or adding the original clips from the sequence. You'll find the switch in the top left of the sequence panel, under the timecode and near the magnet and wrench icons.

Transfer Ana. 16x9 into 4x3 Letterboxed Sequence?!

I've done this in the past and for the life of me can't remember how!
All I want to do is transfer an Anamorphically shot and edited sequence into a 4x3 Sequence (so then it would be Letterboxed), to be able to export into as a 4x3 320 x 240 QT file.
I keep thinking that dragging the nested 16x9 sequnce into a 4x3 sequnce will work, but it doesn't.
Any help of info is much appreciated!

That's very odd that dragging the 16:9 sequence (into the 4:3 sequence) doesn't letterbox. I used to do this on almost a weekly basis and never had a hiccup.
Anyhow, any luck doing an Insert/Overwrite Sequence Content?
That is, drag the 16:9 sequence from the Browser into the 4:3 sequence as you would normally. But press and hold the Command key, then release the mouse button. You should see your sequence contents (aka the clips 'n stuff) in your 4:3 sequence. And they should be letterboxed.
If the clips aren't letterboxed, you might have some type of sequence corruption. Trying all this with a fresh 4:3 sequence might do the trick.

Am i laying out my film right by imprtng small sequences in 1 big sequence

I am working on small portions of my film in there own individual sequence, then I import those small sequences into one final sequence. Is this the right way to lay out the film. When I render a small sequence, then go into the final sequence, it wants my to re-render. When I do, the footage is still glitchy in the big sequence and not the small one. I don't know if I'm making any sense but can someone help me?

The master sequence settings don't match the footage you are dropping into it. Every time you have to render a clip when you drop it into a sequence, that means something is not matching up. You need to make the master sequence settings match that of your smaller sequences.
Shane's Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.

I'm trying to import a sequence into premiere pro and suddenly a few sections are 'media offline'

I'm trying to import a previous premiere pro sequence into premiere pro and suddenly a few sections are 'media offline' (it has always worked up until now). I would be able to relink the clips but the offending ones aren't showing up in the project's clip bin. To make things worse I can't drag and drop the corresponding clips from my finder into the clips bin and then 'replace clip with' in the timeline, as the clips in the project have been renamed, and are synced up to audio (this is a 90 minute feature film).
Can anyone help??!!

Right click on the offline clips and select Reveal in Project. This will call up the bin they're in, where you'll be able to relink.

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).

I wrongly imported DVCPRO 50 files into a 720p HD sequence

Hi,
I wrongly imported clips originally shot in DVCPRO 50 PAL files into my default 720p HD sequence into a 720p HD sequence and when I discovered that I started a DVCPRO 50 sequence and imported the clips from the HD seq but they all look a bit out of focus and they had to be resized, and the text looks a bit out of focus too.
How can I keep my edits but continue to work in the a seq set to the native format of the footage and make the clips look right?

I want to import one imovie project into another one. In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

I want to import one imovie project into another one. In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer. I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them. Help! I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

Tell me it ain't so!
I wish I could. The research you've done is correct.
Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

Imported a .psd file into project - why showing up as a sequence?

hi everyone
i successfully imported a photoshop file into a project recently, after help from you, and it ended up working fine. I adjusted the size and placement in the viewer and got what i wanted.
i have tried to do it again, with a different photoshop file, however this time when i import it into the browser it appears with a sequence icon, rather than clip icon. so when i double click to open it up and adjust - it opens a new dedicated timeline rather than in the viewer - i THOUGHT i'd done everything the same - but i guess not.
what did i do different?
thanks
hugh

Its a feature! Not a bug. By importing a .psd file you can play with the layers in FCP. Apply motion features to a layer, fade the layers on and off at different times, or just change the opacity to suit your background. I know several people that create all their lower thirds for a show in one .psd file and then change the info by turning on and off the different layers. The advantage is you can easily maintain control and placement of your graphics. Like the previous responder I personally don't like .psd's in my timeline. I prefer .pict. Probably because when I started editing it was the only choice on a Mac and it allows for an alpha channel. Using alpha or matte channels make the best keys.

Importing a CS5 premiere pro sequence into Encore

I'm pretty new to premiere pro and encore (used encore for the first time yesterday) - so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I've created a project in Premiere Pro and it plays fine. However, when I import the premiere pro sequence into my Encore project (so I can export it to DVD) it shows the media as being offline. Am I wrong in assuming that if I import a sequence from premiere pro I don't have to import all the sub-assets that the sequence uses as well - shouldn't that happen automatically? Or do I need to import everything? - seems a bit silly if that's the case - why would I not want all the assets that a sequence uses to come across with it? Thanks.

forgive me if this is a dumb question.
Not dumb, but your terms aren't right, and that's probably at the root of your problem.
You "import" a file; you dynamic link a PR sequence, either from Premiere or from within Encore.
When you dynamic link, nothing is actually transferred; a link is set up, and the Premiere sequence is still operating from within an instance of Premiere (even if not visible).
When you eventually transcode (in Encore, usinkg Encore's engine or adobe media encoder), then a file is created inside Encore directory structure.
The media showing as offline means you've done something wrong.
Do you get this message at the very beginning of the link? Be sure you don't move or rename anything.

Color Shift When Importing JPG Sequence into Flash CS6

I am importing a jpg sequence into flash that has been exported from After Effects CS6. No matter what I try, the color will shift when the image imports into flash. The sequence originally started out as a vector graphic in Illustrator (color profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1) and then imported into After Effects for an animation that I couldn't quite achive in Flash. The color profile in After Effects is also sRGB IEC61966-2.1 with the "Match Legacy" checkbox checked. I export it out of After Effects as a JPG Sequence and then import into Flash. No matter what I try, the bitmap images' color will shift (become dull) when I import. Even when I open the images in Windows Photo Gallery, they look fine - it's only when I import into Flash. I've also tried PNG and .PSD Sequence with the same result. I've searched around, but still haven't found a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am in the midst of trying to figure out the opposite : Flash to After Effects. I am betting that this is an issue of 'color profile' attached to the images and the gamma settings in that profile. RGBA is only part of the story - color profile is all the rest of it. Eye Dropper doesn't tell you the color profile attached to the image.
