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

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.

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.

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

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,

How to change the default new project folder in Premiere Elements 13?

I keep all my projects on a different drive than the default My Documents folder. How can I change the default setting so that Premiere Elements does not try to create new projects in the My Documents\Pemiere Elements\13.0 folder? In fact, I do not want that folder to be used for anything (including layouts and styles).

steveb
Short version....
Referring to the 13.0 Folder in the Adobe Folder in documents, you wrote
In fact, I do not want that folder to be used for anything (including layouts and styles).
I do not believe that is possible.
For my best case scenario
Set the Scratch disks, not to Same As Project, but set for Custom with the set being the save location that you set for the project file.
Set the project save in, my preference, File Menu/Save As.
You are going to end up automatically with a 13.0 Folder in the Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 Folder every time you open a Premiere Elements project. No matter how many times you try to delete the 13.0 Folder. And that 13.0 Folder will contain a Layout Folder and, if you applied a Style in the project, a Styles Folder.
Longer Version....
There is no problem directing your project file to the save location of choice. You can do that two way
1. After you open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/Save As to change the name of the project as well as the location for the save in order to avoid the defaults.
2. You can also do that through File Menu/New/Project.
That 13.0 Folder also gains its contents from the settings of the scratch discs in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disc - some examples preview files, disc encoding files, conformed audio files... Some Files/Folders are placed there automatically. So what to do to keep the Documents area clear of Premiere Elements files, project or otherwise after you have move all that you thought you could to a non Adobe default location? See above best case scenario.
Miscellaneous
1. If you set the save location of the project in either of the 2 ways, that setting will not hold from project to project. It will hold for that particular project.
3. If you set the Scratch disks in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks, those settings seem to hold from project to project as well as for in the particular project.
Stevenb, please review and consider and verify. I have gone through several scenarios on what you would prefer. But, I do not see a way to make that happen with the programming that exists.

Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

It is working for me. Two ways to import into an existing project:
Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings from "new Project" to the selected project.
Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

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.

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,
Adam

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.

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.

How do I remove my personal text msgs from appearing on my new iPad. Rec for Christmas didn't realize texts appeared on iPad, changed settings, new ones didn't appear but old ones still on it.

New iPad showing my iPhone texts, changed settings new texts stopped but old ones still appear on iPad . It is a family iPad and don't want kids to see text from adults even g rated, glad they didn't see Christmas texts with present pictures and questions from relatives.

As far as I know, deleting the messages on the iPad should not affect them on the iPad. I delete messages on one device and it doesn't affect the messages on the other device since they are stored locally on the device. And ... I am using my iPhone number as the contact address on both devices,
You can create another ID for texting on the iPad, but it's not an absolute must. You just need to use your Apple ID email address, or any other working email address for that matter - as the contact at address on the iPad for texting. As long as you use the iPhone number on the phone and the email address on the iPad, texting paths shall never cross.
this should be of some help.

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

Garage Band '11, version 6.0.5 will not change key after new project is started

Garage Band '11 version 6.0.5: Cannot change key after new project is started.
It has always worked ok prior to this. And I have had other issues. How do I reinstall Garage Band '11?
I have looked in downloads, but can'ty find any download file. I had upgraded to Mac OSX 10.6.8 couple years back, which included
Garage Band '11, a new ITunes & new IPhoto.

Before reinstalling I'd try HangTime's fix for "oddball" problems and delete the User preferences and repair permissions, see the FAQ:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
The GarageBand 6.0.5 update is here:
GarageBand 6.0.5
If you want to reinstall, install again the GaragaBand application from your installation disk and then upgrade again to 6.05 using the link above or Software update from the Apple Menu.

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.
