Movie proportions in Premier Pro CS 5.5

I have been given video footage and while it is .mov format, I don't know it's native proportions or any information about it and I don't know how to find out so that I can import it properly into Premier Pro and have it scale properly.
I have tried importing it into differently configured sequences and each time, the people look tall and skinny (more so than usual).  Sometimes there's a black border on either side, sometimes they fit the frame and are disproportinately tall and skinny.  Clearly my ratio or something is off kilter but I can't seem to figure out which is the right size.
How do I find that out?
Update:
ok, I had been told it was not shot in high def...but on a hunch, I tried HDV 720p and it imported proportionally.   So my question still stands...how the heck can I tell before I use the file, what it was shot in so I can match my sequence appropriately?

  • Importing Kodak .mov files in Premier Pro CS3?

    I am using Premier Pro CS3 and I have a new Kodak Playsport Zx3.  Kodak says the .mov clips are 1080p, and 30 frames a second. I tried importing clips into CS3 and I get 'file type not supported' error.  The manual says .mov are supported.  What am I missing?  Do I need Quicktime installed for importing the files?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Can you tell us more about your computer?
    If you are getting the "Not Supported" error, then it is likely that you do not have the proper CODEC's installed. For the MOV format, those are usually installed with Apple's QuickTime Player. Do you have that installed? If not, it is free, though IMHO, is not that great a player. In your case, you only need the CODEC's that it installs.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - something else to consider is that many camera mfgrs. will ship their own version of the CODEC's, and these might be on the CD/DVD, that came with the camera. Sometimes, the CODEC is an extra install, sometimes it's built into the driver for the camera, and sometimes, it's part of some video editing program, that ships with the camera. It just depends.

  • How can I make my AVCHD mov. files work in premier pro?

    I used Panasonic HDC-SD60 for a short film for work.  This has over about 40 clips with around 3 hours of footage However when I import the .mov files from the media browser the audio seems fine but the footage is in a sort of slow mo, and out of sync. I want to edit and do post-production using adobe premier pro, and after effects. However the footage seems to be working in final cut X. There is no lag with playback on quicktime either. What's making this happen? I've read about variable frame rates, it's seems most common in iPhones and tablets? Is that something that the panasonic do as well? Is there a fix? Or should I jump ship and make do with a slightly more limited features of Final Cut?

    That does not specifically say Variable FRAME Rate, so I don't know a cure... but, see below

  • I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

    Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
    I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
    Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
    Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
    This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
    Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
    Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

    Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
    sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
    of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
    panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
    above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
    number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
    close the program down.
    Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
    is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
    update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
    I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
    as I am not able to record my movie.
    Looking forward to your reply.
    Kind regards.
    Janice

  • Adobe Premier Pro CS6 editing system and mov files

    We have just installed a new Adobe Premier Pro CS6 editing system with a HP 820Z (running windows 7) 18 core multi drive system.  Our production company has used many mov. files from Ponds.  We were a FCP 7.0 studio (still have the system) but the mov files won't import to our new CS6 System...  Not trying to import from the mac...have them stored on another PC.  We depend on this stock footage for production. Do I need to download a converter?  I just had to produce two spots with a still background because I could not get any of our stock mov files to work...
    Thanks much for any help!

    PP does support direct import of Quicktime files that can be played back on the system.
    What is the correct error message after import?
    Can you playback the files with the Quicktime Player?
    For some codecs like DNXHD you have to install the quicktime codec first...

  • Importing 1290 x 1080 .mov issues Premier Pro

    I can not see a choice for making my new project settings for .mov files that are 1920 x 1080 (30fps). The only choice I have is for 1440 x 1080. I am using Premier Pro with a Vista 64 system. Any ideas on how or where to fix this issue?
    Thanks, Jon

    Welcome to the forum.
    If you cannot find a Preset that matches your footage exactly, you can choose a Desktop Preset, and then in the settings screen, adjust almost every possible property. Desktop = custom in this instance.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - in < CS4, you do this at the Project level. With CS4 up, you do it at the Sequence level.

  • Footage will just not play in Premier Pro CS 5

    I am importing footage into Adobe Premier Pro CS 5 version on a Mac 10.6, but it doesn't matter what file format I convert it into or what sequence settings I try I cannot get the footage to play! It's recorded on a Sony Handycam HDR-XR200E in AVCHD format as an MTS file. I have converted it into .mov, avi and mpeg4 formats but still nothing seems to work! It's not a trial version of CS 5 so the AVCHD should not be a problem. I have also tried all the sequence settings and nada! The footage jumps for 2 seconds and then just freezes.
    Not sure how to proceed. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

    tamzynd, what are the specs of your mac? sounds like Premiere is choking on the footage.
    Can you play other type of vision (e.g. a plain old AVI file from a DV camera)?
    is your footage on the internal drive or on an external disk?

  • DirectLink from Premier Pro CC 2014 to Encore - no longer there

    Trying to get a Premier Pro CC 2014 sequence into Encore CS6 - and it won't happen.
    The DirectLink from Premier Pro CC 2014 to Encore - is no longer there and I've tried simply dragging the required sequences over from the PP CC window into the timeline bin in Encore - it won't do it.
    I've tried importing sequences and after clicking on the project to open and select the sequences from it just sits there with a portion of yellow progress bar about 5mm long - doesn't move on.
    I am now trying to build the DVD project by putting all materials on one sequence, with chapter markers on it and pushing out a media encoder file in H.264 first. Maybe this will import to Encore.
    Hating the fact these two sister programs no longer talk or work together - losing Encore is a major headache.

    Thanks Stan,
    Interesting you say "Dynamic link only works between like versions. So the only DL for Premiere with Encore CS6 is Premiere CS6" and then show me a video where the guy's first screen pops up with "Using Premiere Pro CC & Encore CS6".
    This is the latterday workaround to cover the issue of the removal of the directlink from PP CC 2014 to Encore - which does cover my issue - however I find it strange that Adobe choose to make great play of the DirectLink facility - now employed between programs such as PP CC 2014 and SpeedGrade - yet have deliberately destroyed a great working relationship in the same manner between PP CC 2014 and Encore.
    I find this "dictatorial" deduction a real nause...

  • Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

    Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
    I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
    I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
    I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
    From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620  with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ  1080P                         22 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                    22 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
    From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100%  (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
    to .mov  Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
    to .mov H.264  1080P                                                             14 Minutes
    to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
    Since I am going to DVD,  I chose the fastest option  Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to  the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
    I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
    I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process  have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
    Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
    And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

    Hi,
    Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
    long file export.
    But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
    - clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
    - delete all render files with Preview Files,
    - rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
    - PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
    I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
    serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
    I tested :
    - Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
    no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
    Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
    which are not very easy to use.
    And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
    escalate the bug.

  • New Premier Pro User Introduction and Comments

    Just wanted to introduce myself as I plan to be a frequent reader and hopefully contributor to this forum and in the hope that a few of the comments below will be useful.
    First, to show my age, I began video editing back in the early 1990's with the Amiga and the Video Toaster.  Later I began editing in Vegas Pro and Edius. In 2007 I largely left the PC platform for Macs, and almost immediately purchaed Final Cut Pro which I have used as my NLE on an eight core (2.8 GHz) 3.1 Mac Pro equipped with a 2 TB Raid 0 array of SATA drives as well as an external Raid 5 8TB SATA system for backups.  Although video editing is just a hobby for me, I am serious about it and feel fairly competent in FCP.
    With the arrival of the MPE and 64-bit support for Adobe's Premier Pro, I was attracte to trying this editing package which I had obtained in a purchase of the Production Premium package for the Mac. When I received the PP package a few months ago, I installed all the software and briefly tried PP and the other software components in the package but I did not do any serious projects with PP at that time.
    Recently, I was involved in video recording a three camera shoot of a piano concert given in my home by my pinao teacher.  We used two HDV cameras and my Canon 5D Mark II for the video and an Edirol R-09HR recorder optimally placed for recroding my Yamaha grand piano. I wanted to do a multicamera edit of the one hour concert, but I found this possible but very contorted to do in FCP (with the assistance of PlurarEyes for synching the externally recorded audio with the video).  It was at that point that I became serious about learning and using PP CS5.
    To get into PP CS5 in the fastest possible manner, I purchased the Learn by Video series on PP CS5 presented by Maxim Jago and Jan Ozer.  I feel this is an outstnading video tutorial on using PP CS5.  I also decided to upgrade the video card in my Mac Pro 3.1 from the Ati 2600XT card (which does not support the MPE with CUDA) with the nVidia GTX 285 which does. I was able to purchase a new overclocked GTX 285 on eBAy and installed it in my Mac Pro.  I also purchsed PluralEyes for PP for synching the external audio in PP.
    My experience with this rather large multi-camera project hs been excellent.  Not one crash in many hours of work on the project!  The GTX 285 easily handles rela time playback with no dropped frames in the timeline.  I am impressed with the ease of doing a multi-camera edit in PP CS5 and in general very pleased iwth the program.  The most difficult thing I have had to adjust to is the difference between PP CS5 and FCP in terms of getting video and audio into the timeline where I want it in PP.  It's not difficult to do, but just sufficiently different that I found the PP CS5 video tutorials that I had purchased very useful in learning how to move video and audio around and patch to precise locations in PP.
    Well, enough for now.  I have much yet to do to complete this multicamera project, but I have been actively monitoring this forum for months now and simply wanted to say thanks for all I have learned here as well as to just say "hello".
    Tom

    just took me a while to find it as I don't think I have ever even visited the Video Lounge.
    Tom,
    Now that you have discovered our "little secret," do not be a stranger. We're a pretty loose, but friendly crew around the forum - both in the Lounge and out in the technical product forum.
    Though some technical "stuff" does get posted here, one is usually better off in the product forum, as more users will see the post. Now, "technical" is a slightly abstract term. We've had mic. options explored here, camera options, and of course snakes. When the technical aspect gets to Adobe products, then the main fora are obviously the best locations.
    There is also the Hardware sub-forum, and it's great for technical discussions on hardware. Most of that discussion revolves around using Adobe products on said computer, but a lot is general computer talk and questions.
    If the discussion gets to authoring DVD/BD, then the Encore Forum is the right place, even though Encore now only ships with PrPro. One reason to break things off there is that some Encore gurus do not hang out here. Considering your audio background, one such individual is Neil Wilkes, the Encore audio-guru. He seldom shows up in the PrPro fora, but is usually not that far away in the Encore forum.
    That's just a little breakdown of these fora.
    Enjoy PrPro, and thanks for the intro and the thoughts,
    Hunt

  • Premier Pro CS6, Classroom in a Book....Lesson Files, Help Please.

    Hello everyone, new guy on the block here and having problems.
    I recently purchased Premier Pro CS6 software and the accompanying book mentioned in my posts title above.
    I am trying to work through the book and the associated projects but keep coming up against the dreaded Offline Files problem....that has seemingly been the bug bear of others in the past.
    I have read a few posts here of others experiencing the same but still can't seem to solve the problem and it's really starting to bug me.
    I downloaded the DVD contents and saved them to my HD in my Adobe CS6 folder as instructed in the book but no media files transfer over during the import into CS6, the shells/wrappers are there but no content, each wrapper say's that the Media is Offline.
    So I then go to the location where the files are saved to which is - Libraries, Documents, Adobe, Premier Pro, 6.0, Lessons and then go to the corresponding Lesson file and dbl click and upon opening there seems to be nothing there ??
    Can anyone give some guidance as to where I'm going wrong ?
    Many Thanks & Best Wishes
    Harmudge.

    Hi Jeff, the actual media content is not available in the Project panel although the wrappers of the files are showing with a question mark in the thumbnail.
    I then went to the media browser and located the file 16B_SER5...which I was using incidently because the question marked thumbnail icon was present for that file in the Project Panel, and imported....it copied the file/footage over but not into the already present wrapper, it created another thumbnail....should that happen like that or should it fill the already present wrapper ?
    So I then try and link the playable media file by right clicking on the thumbnail, but that option is greyed out in the menu for that file.
    I then checked the un-playable media file that I mention above and the option to link media is available for that so I tried that but seem to get nowhere.
    I get a windows explorer box come up and then go to my Adobe files in my documents (where the DVD contents are) and go to Lessons, Assets, Double Identity, P2 Media, Contents....I then have 6 folders to choose from, I have looked in the Clip file and it is blank until I change the file type selection that is near the bottom right in the explorer window from P2 Movie (mxf) to all files and then there are files available but the files are ending XML and XMP.
    I have then checked the contents of the Video folder and there were MXF files available under the P2 Movie selection but the file numbers do not correspond with the files that I am looking for ?
    I then change the Windows Explorer file search to All Files and files with corresponding file numbers are now present but the files are ending in .pek, I then select the 16B_SER5 48000.pek file and then get an Adobe dialogue box come up informing me that File Import Failure, file format not supported.
    I hope you were able to follow what I have been trying to explain above, I'm sure it's fairly evident that I am not a computer whizz kid so if you require me to take screenshots etc to clarify what I'm doing I can manage that....lol.

  • Can Premier Pro Do This...???...(need help w/ FAST photo montage!)

    well folks...
    i'm really in trouble
    i moved sony vegas (8.0) from my office pc to my recording/mastering studio's audio pc...(w/ it's quad IV cpu & tons of RAM)
    & now...after moving along quite nicely...all of a sudden the project video screen (lower right) went completely RED...& the project doesn't repond to ANY controls...!!!...seized up tighter than a duck's protuberance.
    (just like it did on my office pc)
    I rebooted the machine, but that didnt help
    so...i'll never make my deadline...on a very important dynamic photo montage i'm constructing for my brother's 50th wedding anniversay...so:
    I know premier pro is wonderful for movie editing/creating...but...can it do a dynamic photo montage...???...the kind where one photo image transistions to the next...(w/ music)...& if so...does it have great transition effects & fades & text features (for that job) such as scrolling titles, etc...???
    if not...can someone recommend me a program that DOES (in the vein of sony vegas)...???
    thanx,

    i got it...i got it...!!!
    so...this 1st screen shot is from an old scanned print; & you can see both pix X pix & document size:
    obviously if i uncheck Resample Image...i can't change the pixel dimensions...so I simply did this:
    so...is this now my optimum pixel dimensions for HD...(for that particular shot)...???
    AND...it's OK that the document size differed (down to 2.283" X 1.8") while remaining at 600ppi...for HD...???
    (see...i always assumed that, because there are a gazillion pixels on my 46" LED HD TV...I had to make my scan resolution as great as possible to fill that screen)...& you two are telling me that, because the pix dimension width is now 1080...that shot won't look pixelated (up-sampled) when the movie is played on an HD TV...???
    if so...i'm good w/ the info you've given me (actually, great).
    thanx a gazillion,
