New project/timeline settings 568x320 ?

Hello, I am a complete newbie to premiere CS4.
I want to join together a series of 568x320, 29.97fps, IPhone .mov clips.
Can someone please tell me what the correct Premiere initial settings are for these files ?
I have been using the default settings which leave me with a large black area around the edge of the clips and when I export them the resolution is terrible, so I ovviously dont have the project/timeline settings correct.
Thanks kindly for any help.

You can set up a custom preset in the new sequence/general/desktop
But you will not be able to edit h.264 in a mov container very smoothly.
This issue was not resolved until CS5.

New Projects - Change Settings

I have purchased Premere Elements 9. I always take out the sd card and insert it into the camera to download the video to a file I created.
At this point I go to edit my video and the New Project - change settings box pops up. Not sure how to set this with the camera

If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video... read above about codecs
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

CS4 Copy and paste to new Project

When I copy (or cut) and paste an audio clip to a new project timeline the sound is fine but after I save the project I see the video and the sound file but no sound. The sound file still plays in Soundbooth but not on the project timeline. I tried rendering the clip but no lucki. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
These are the files properties:
File Path: C:\Heritage\Aftergut\Movie\Untitled Clip 02 Audio Extracted_1

Hi Bill,
I haven't remapped the keyboard. In the CS4 (which I am using) help shows "M" as the key for Match Frame. Also I am targetingthe audio track and moving the CTI over it and pressing "M" as you suggest but no luck.
I guess I will just have to find another work method to complete my project but I really thank you for your efforts on my behalf

Stanely,
One thought - have you remapped your keyboard?
Also, and a CS5 user will have to step in here, it could be that Match Frame has changed. It did between PrPro 2.0 and CS3/CS4, so it is possible. In the CS5 Help file, what is shown for the keystroke?
Last, are you Targeting your Audio Track, Selecting the Audio, moving the CTI over it, and then pressing M?
Just thinking there, and good luck,

VS 2013 - Settings lost when creating new project

I am having this is odd issue with my VS 2013 settings. I setup VS 2013 with all my custom settings and colors. I can open and existing project and my settings with be there. If I create a new project all my settings are gone. I
backed them up so I can import them and everything looks correct again. Is there something I need to do to make the settings permanent?

Thanks for Kulasangar's help.
Hi heffer86,
Like Kulasangar's suggestion, the real issue would be related to how you custom settings and colors in your VS IDE. For example, generally some settings under TOOLS->Options->font and Color or color theme like the following screen shot in
VS IDE, it would be saved to your current VS settings file, so it still have the same feature if you create a new project with the same settings.
But certain settings just were used for your current projects, I mean that they are not saved to your current VS settings file. So it would change to the previous settings if you create a new project. So you would check the
real settings file and make sure that which settings are saved to this file.
Or you didn't enable the settings when you export the settings file, so it would have this issue when you use this settings file next time.

Jack

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

Selecting correct settings for a new project

I'm about to start my first project using Elements and the final output for the project will be need to be a H264 or a “WMV” file which which can be uploaded to an FTP site. It will also be displayed in front of a group on a screen (size is 7.5’x10’.)
What is the most optimal project settings I should use when I start the new project? Something in the AVCHD catagory? (Using NTSC).
Thanks!

Yes Premiere Elements has several H.264 options under the AVCHD tab including output at 1080p and 720p with various frame rates. If you only have Photoshop Elements you will be limited to making a wmv file. If you do have Premiere Elements you will get best advice at it’s own forum.

When starting a new project in elements 7 I can't change settings.

Even when I close an open project, the box pops up, and asks if I would like to save changes. It won't let me make a selection. I have to close the program through task manager. Any ideas? Up to date, and reinstalled twice.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 7 running?
What is the Save In location that is designated in the New Project dialog? Is it the default area?
Try deleting the Premiere Elements 7 settings file named Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs, and, if that does not work, then delete the whole 7.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
If you let us know your computer operating system, I will post directions for getting to the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and the 7.0 Folder in which it exists.
The answers will be in the details.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

When creating a new project, the step "new sequence settings" doe not appear automatically, what to do?

Hi there,
I have a question I am doing product videos for a comany they would like me to do this in a format that is 16:9 and in HD. Since they don't know on which channels they want to publish it but it is certain they will publish it on youtube I wanted to do it in the settings HDV and then DVCPROHD 720p24 or even 1080p24. I have bought the license of Premiere online and for some reason I do not have the option in the beginning when I create a new project to change the sequence settings. They do not appear and afterwards I cannot change them. Do you guys have an idea what can be done in order to access this setting before the project ultimately opens?
I'd highly appreciate any kind of help on the matter!
Cheers,
Mascha

4 Questions on New Project Settings with Pemiere Elements 9 - & Fix Quality Problems.

When I started my new project I selected PAL, DSLR - 1920 x 1080p - 24 fps.
Once in New Project, I dragged the movie onto the Timeline, then up poped a box saying something like "Fix Quality Problems", whch I accepted.
Q1 Which is the best frame rate to record in, to subsequently bring media into Premiere Elements 9?
I am in The UK so we have PAL and therefore, I could use 24p or 25p - 25 p is 25 fps, and 24p is 23.976 fps. per the Canon manual. [NB the Canon will not record at 50 or 60p in PAL]
Q2, I read somewhere that some Video Editors can not accept a movie file in its native format , and thus change it to a different format and then edit it, and then export and convert it back - often with a serious loss of quality. I would like to maximise the quality.
Q2i] Does Premiere Elements 9 do this converstion? If so does it harm the quality significantly - are there ways to avoid this?
Q2ii] and if so, is there a recording format best suited for me to record in, and subsequently import my videos into Premiere Elements 9? eg would it be better to record in 25 fps?
Q2iii] There was also a screen somewhere about this section like 2,2,3,2,2 I think its something to do with pulldown? What is the best setting for the highest quality?
Background info:-
I shot my videos with my new Canon DSLR 5D MkIII; I set the movie quality to:-
PAL, 1920 x 1080p ALL-I (this was the highest quality the 5DIII can record at, there was an "IPB" option for lower quality). And I selected 24 fps - which the manual says is actually 23.976 fps
The manual also says it is a MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 [movie recording compression] Recording Format = MOV
But strangely it loads onto my laptop as a "Quick Time Movie". I was expecting to see a .MOV file. [whether this is because this Sony Laptop comes with 'PMB Organiser' and view software. Or the hated iTunes changed how things are imported, I just don't understand any of this stuff . All I do know is iTunes repeatedly tried to change my default viewer. So did it change the format, which files are imported in?? [re loading the files from my cameras CF card into my laptop]
Any advice much appreciated
Peter

Peter,
The way out of the project is encoding. And recoding tends to degradation of the export in varying degrees for different formats. Typically DV AVI undergoes less change with reencoding than the rest. But, we are not dealing with DV AVI here. Your source appears to be
AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) video compression
1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second
Rather than export the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Timeline to a .mov file or something else and then importing that into Premiere Elements 11 for is AVCHD export, please consider trying to open the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project in Premiere Elements 11 and then proceed there to export Publish+Share/Compute/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p24.
Keep in mind that if you take a project created in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and edit it in Premiere Elements 11 and then decide to further edit it in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1, cannot do. And, if some unexpected perk allows the opening of the Premiere Elements 11 edited version, there will be problems. Unless there is a special reason, best complete a project in the version that created and create anew in the newer version.
A just in case note, the original on the hard drive is not altered. Premiere Elements traces back to the original from the Project Assets thumbnail (copy of original).
But, you should make the comparsion between your H.264.mov opportunity in version 9.0/9.0.1 and your AVCHD.mp4 opportunity in Premiere Elements 11. I believe that you said that is your intention.
For your Premiere Elements 11 tryout download, check out another browser. I always had to go to Internet Explorer for that download. Firefox never was good for that. But with this version 11, Firefox did the job. I had better results saving the downloaded folder to Documents than I did to Desktop.
Please review and let us know if I have targeted your questions. If not, please detail what I overlooked.
Thanks.

How to get segments from a finished timeline onto a new project?

I'm trying to make a demo with about 5 different finished timelines. I just need a minute here and 20 seconds there and I'll be in good shape. How do you get selected clips from a master? Do the selected clips from the masters go into a new project library?

I got it. I just cut and paste from existing masters into a new project or is there an easier way?

Do you have any capture cards in the computer? For example, Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, CineForm, etc.
If so, it's software might be causing the problem. Go to "Programs And Features" in the Vista Control Panel to remove the software for the capture card. Restart the computer and then try again.
Did you install any plug-ins for Premiere?
If so, remove them and see if the problem goes away.
Also, where are you saving your projects? Try saving one to your Desktop and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, then it could be a problem with your save location.

New project is 5 hours long on timeline?

After the latest update, 10.1.4, when I create new projects, the projects are about 5 hours long in the timeline. Meaning, when I zoom out I can see 'till timecode 5:00:00:00. Is there a setting I am missing to correct this in the new version? Before, when I created projects, they would just be the length of whatever I was editing on the timeline.
Thanks!

Of course.
How would I reset my preferences? Thanks again for helping.

Copy regions and settings (plugins, mixing/volume/pan, etc) to new project

Greetings,
I am a brand new logic user and I am scoring my first film. I have two problems, one of which is addressed in the subject heading, and the other I will address now.
I didn’t realize until today that my synchronization settings were set to 25fps and the movie I am scoring is set to 23.98. This was causing huge problems when I would send the editor a cue, and he could not sync it up. I have read many posts, and I know that once I change my fps to 24, then it should be able to sync up just fine with the 23.98fps. However, because I was running my first few cues at the wrong fps, I now have to start these cues all over at 24fps. I was on apple care support via phone, and the kind person told me to set up a new project as “music for video (ntsc).” He then told me to copy the regions from my old cue and drag them into the new arrange window. I have done this, and here comes the questions:
1. After dragging the regions from the old file (where I was running at 25fps) to the current project (which is now set to 24fps), I could only copy the music- my volume, pan, and reverb plug-ins did not copy. How can I copy everything over so I don’t have to manually adjust my mixer and reverb settings? If you know the answer, please guide me through it...I am really new to Logic!
2. Now that I have copied the music to current project (24fps), is there a metronome conversion so I can change the old speed of running at 25 fps to 24 fps or should everything sync up automatically? My metronome is set to 104.2000 in the old cue.
I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.
Best,

Hi Adam,
Since I don't work in film, I can't answer any of the SMPTE questions, but regarding question #1...
Go to the audio configuration window of the original cue. Under the Audio Configuration windows edit menu, select "copy".
Then open the new cue (the one set at 24fps), go to it's audio configuration window, and under the edit menu, select "paste".
This should copy all plug-ins. volumes and pans. Only do this is all your audio instruments between the songs are the same, which I will assume they are, because the audio configurations "paste" function will replace everything in the current song. But based on your description, this is what you want to do.

FCPX Project Render Settings - Can you edit in h.264 and Transcode/render only used clips on timeline to Prores during render?

I have a question on the PROJECT RENDER settings in FCP X. It’s seems to me that one could theoretically import and edit entirely with original h.264 video files without needing to Transcode to ProRes422. Once you’re done with your edit and want to get the added benefits of COLOR GRADING in ProRes422 color space, it seems that FCPX will automatically render your edit in ProRes422 according to these preferences. In that case, a color grade could be applied to the whole edit, and be automatically transcoded/rendered into ProRes 422 during the render process. After rendering, what would show up on the viewer and what would EXPORT would be the rendered Prores files and not the original h.264 files. This saves a lot of time and space of transcoding ALL your media, and in theory should enable you to edit NATIVE video formats like h.264, with automatic benefits of ProRes during render. I'm assuming the render may take longer because FCPX is having to convert h.264 video files to ProRes422 while rendering. This may be one drawback. But will you your color grade actually use the 4:2:0 color space of the h.264 native media, or will it utilize 4:2:2 color space, since the render files are set to render to ProRes422 ? Can anyone please confirm that this theory is correct and optimal for certain work flows?? Thanks!

Thanks Wild. That's what I thought - in that the render files would be converted to ProRes422 codec. So do you or anyone else think that there is an advantage to having the 4:2:0 original file be processed in a 4:2:2 color space?
Yes there is an advantage, any effects and grading will look better than in a 4:2:0 space.
Most professionals online seem to think so. Also - will rendering of heavy effects and color grading take longer using this method because it's having to convert h.264 media to ProRes during render?
Yes, it will definitely take longer.
Can anyone verify from a technical standpoint whether editing and color grading in this workflow will see the same benefits as having transcoded the h.264 media to ProRes in the first place?
Same benefits from a final product view point, you lose on rendering time though and if you have lots of effects things will seem slow as it will have render everytime from the h264 file rather than a Pro Res file for every change you make. This may be fine on a higher end mac but I'm sure just pummels an older lower end mac as to being almost useless.
