New Sequence Settings

Using CS6 Premiere Pro in Windows with the intent of making a DVD of the movie,
how do I choose the Preset descriptions in the "New Sequence" screen?
I assume I'm going to choose an AVCHD version, but don't have any idea what the differences are.

When you launch Premiere CS6, you are presented
with a menu of Sequence preset types to choose from.
You can skip this step by hitting "Cancel", then
import (or capture) your media, and do this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
Either of these methods will ensure your Sequence matches your media.
How do I choose the right sequence settings?

CS6 New Sequence Settings - MBD & MRQ Help

Does it make a difference whether or not I set the MBD & MRQ in the New Sequence > Settings Tab or in the Export Dialog Box?
Do these same settings in the New Sequence > Settings also determine how Adobe handles video previews?
Currently I use AVCHD footage. Do I increase my color bit depth while working in my Timeline? If so, to what?
I was under the impression that whenever I import media into Premiere Pro it automatically up-samples media to 4:4:4 and 32 bit float color. Is this incorrect until I activate MBD & MRQ in the New Sequence > Settings Tab?
Any help would be greatly apprecated.
Thanks in advance

>I was under the impression that only RGB color space was expressed as 8bit, 10bit, 16bit and 32bit floating point.
There are pixel modes for 8,16 integer + 32bit float for both RGB and YUV.
>YUV is actually the only one expressed in chroma subsampling numbers as 4:4:4 etc. RGB has three distinct color channels expressed in bits per channel (Red, Green, Blue) while YUV has three different components which consist of lumanance and two chromanance. Big difference between both. In all actuallity it really should be expressed as Y'CbCr. YUV is actually an analog system.
correct. there is no reason to put "4444" after RGBA.
here are most of the pixel formats supported by Premiere...
PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_8u is the standard format Premiere always used.
PrPixelFormat_ARGB_4444_8u is what After Effects used
MaxBitDepth converts to, and uses,
For RGB:
     PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_32f
For YUV:
     PrPixelFormat_VUYA_4444_32f
     PrPixelFormat_VUYA_4444_32f_709

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

New Sequence settings using Canon HF200

Hi- after looking around online and getting some conflicting info, I thought I'd come here and get the right answer.
When creating a new sequence, you want to choose a preset that closely matches what you filmed- correct?
I have some footage that I am editing. It was filmed using a framerate of 60i.
What preset should I choose when creating a new sequence?

You answered your own question:
When creating a new sequence, you want to choose a preset that closely matches what you filmed- correct?
Instead of closely, use EXACTLY.

New Sequence Settings for iPhone 4 Video?

Hey everyone! I looked through the CS4 forum and didn't find an answer to this question, so thought I would post it here.
I am using Premiere Pro CS4. I have taken HD video using my iPhone 4 (1280x720, 29 fps, data rate 11011kbps, etc). I want to splice together a series of these short videos, but am unsure of how to keep the HD picture quality when I export to a new *.avi file. Each time I export to an avi my resolution and picture quality drop considerably. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep the 720p quality? I am sure my problem is the wrong video preset (I've tried HDV 720p30 and HDV 1080p30 without luck). Any suggestions here would be appreciated!

Now, if you will wish to create DVD-Video, then you might wish to consider maybe two different Exports. One for other playback, and then look at down-rezzing for SD/DVD-Video playback. This ARTICLE should give you some tips on HD to SD.
Good luck,
Hunt

Creating New Sequences in CC?

I downloaded the trial and am having a hard time with new Sequences:
1. There does not seem to be a new sequence settings option when you create a new project. Is this correct?
2. When a new project opens I do not have the option to drag a file from the project into the Sequence/Timeline and I can not create a new Sequence. How is this handled?
Thanks!

Usually you have some sort of footage that will be imported, otherwise you wouldn't have anything to edit. So my workflow goes like this—even before the New Sequence dialog was removed (and I LOVE that it's gone!).
1. Visit the Media Browser to locate and import some footage.
2. Only after you have some footage, do you really need a sequence, right?
3. Choose which footage represents the parameters of your project (i.e. The footage from your RED Epic (4K), or the footage your client grabed on his Canon PowerShot (720p). Just an extreme example of mixed footage, mind you.
4. Drag that footage to the "New Sequence" button (bottom corner of the Project panel) and let go.
BAM! New sequence matching every setting from your best footage. Does that help?

Merging old sequence timeline into project with different sequence settings?

I successfully did this yesterday. But when I tried to replicate my efforts, I got different and unwanted results.
I have an old project created in Pro 2.0. It has a timeline that I want to keep. In the old project, the sequece settings did not match the source clip, so 2.0 overscanned in rendering.
I created the proper sequence setting in 5.5. Then I imported the original sequence from the old project. The first time I did it, it took the old timeline and merged it with the new sequence settings--a perfect result. Today when I try to replicate that effort, it brings in the old timeline, but applies the old settings, resulting the overscanned result.
How, step-by-step, do I get the result I want--an old timeline with new settings????
Thanks very much!

Thanks Simon.
Let me clarify. What I'm trying to do is to correct the sequence setting without having to reassemble the whole project.
As I said, I was able to do just that yesterday, but have not been able to duplicate my efforts.

New sequence not conforming to clip settings

I'm using FCP 6.0.6. I've got some iPhone 3GS video clips (shot with the Super 8 app). When I create a new sequence, and then drag one of the iPhone clips to the sequence, the sequence does not conform to the low res iPhone settings. I've tried setting my FCP prefs to "always" and "ask" for auto conform. Neither is working--when set to ask, it doesn't ask, and when set to always, the sequence doesn't conform.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

It would make no sense to enlarge your clips to 1280x720.
The problem is your original material is not in a standard video size.
You might try converting it to ProRes422 while leaving the material in the 480x320 size. Make sure you convert the audio to 48khz as well.
Once converted, create a new sequence and drop one of the newly converted files into it. The timeline sequence should be adjusted to allow for realtime playback.
Good luck.

How do I see new Sequence "automated" Settings? CS6

1. I'm importing from (Canon XF305) using Compact Flash Chips.
2. I create a project and try to choose a preset sequence to match my camera.
   - In this case I assume that I should be choosing "Canon XF mpeg2", since that's the closest to my rig.
3. When I import the clip into a bin and then try and put onto timeline I get a temporary ERROR...
   - "...Your clips do not match the sequence setting, Would you like to change Timeline to match the clips?"
4. of course I say, YES, and after a moment, everything is good.
5. How do I know exactly what the New automated sequence settings are for the timeline?
6. I need to know so that next time I can choose the right PRESET Correctly?
7. p.s. When I choose to view, "Sequence Settings" it only tells me "Custom" editing mode, frame size & aspect ratio, but not the PRESET title?

Hi John.
I'm aware of both methods you mentioned (above), and/but this does not answer my original question.   I'll try and explain here:
When i insert my footage to the timeline, CS6 creates a "Custom" sequence setting that I don't recognise. It's not listed in any of the 'Presets", nor does the "Sequence Settings" have any more 'info" as to what it's custom setting are closest to (regarding to all of the known presets).
One would naturally deduce that by choosing the "Canon XF" preset settings listed in the choices, that my footage shot on a Canon XF 305, would naturally fit on that timeline without further conversions or questions by the program whatsoever. CS6 recognizes my fottage as being from some other type of unknown source, and I simply want to know, what exact sorce CS6 thinks I'm importing?
On this note (might have been the answer.... but not to be so), when I right click on my (supposed CS6 converted) Timeline Footage from my Canon XF305 Video Camera, and I click on "Properties", my footage is listed as "XDcam-HD Movies". Why?
Just to top this off when I creat a new sequence and chose the Preset, "XDcam-HD Movies", CS6 still doesn't think it's just that and wants to create a new custom setting? well, obviouse you say, because it's not XDcam footage, it's Canon XF Footage, but when I once again check my timeline's footage's Properties, it once again thinks it's, "XDcam-HD Movies". Frustrating!

Wrong sequence settings used on my timeline; can I copy the timeline to a new sequence with correct settings?

The clip properties are Frame size 1440x1080, 23.98 fps (yes a problem for FCE), Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec, but unfortunately I did all of my hard work on a 30 minute film on a sequence that has SD settings (Frame size 720x480), 29.97 fps, compressor: DV/DVCPRO- NTSC. I first noticed there was a problem when I could only get the exported quicktime movie to appear as a 4:3 when it was supposed to be a 16:9. I have overcome that problem by exporting using quicktime conversion and customizing the settings to reflect the correct item properties of the original clips.
But my concern is that my project is still fundamentally based on a timeline that was created in a sequence with SD settings and that maybe I have lost some resolution quality. I am sitting here looking at the iDVD preview and I am not always sure it looks as sharp as the same clip viewed in FCE dropped in a sequence with the right settings. But maybe iDVD preview isn't as sharp, or maybe it's just myimagination. Any thoughts?
Ideally, what I would liketo do is to copy my timeline out of the first sequence with the wrong settings,and to copy it into a new sequence with the proper settings. But I am wondering if that timeline is now "infected" with the wrong settings,and brings these over to the new sequence. The guy on the Apple help linetold me this was unfortunately the case. Am I really going to have tocompletely do this work over again to get a completely correct workflow?
Any way around this?

Al,
very much appreciate your time on this. Hopefully just one more question. I am trying to figure out whether or not converting the tremendous amount of footage I have from this project shot in 24p will be worth it. In my mind, it is only worth it, if by not doing it, I will end up with a finished product that does not have as good of a picture quality. At this point, I dont care at all about having the 'film look' 24p is supposed to give you, I just dont the picture quality degraded somehow because FCE doesnt support 24p, and I am using a 29.97fps sequence to edit it.
So with all of that said, my question is this:
1. When you said before that when a clip hits a sequence it conforms to the properties of the sequence, what do you think is happening to the clip? For instance, if the clip in the Browser as you shot it has got 1440 pixels for every 1080 lines and you place it on a 720x480 sequence, is some of that information literally disappearing? That seems hard to believe. I would think that kind of conversion would require a program to execute it and some processing time, but the drag and drop on a sequence is instantaneous. And my HD footage on the SD sequence still seems to look better to me than my SD stuff, although that could just be perception. Same issue with the frame rate. When I drag and drop a 24fps clip onto a sequence set for 29.97 fps, how can the clip now have more frames per second? That would be additonal information that was never captured in the first place. How is that possible? I do believe that the clips are changed in some way that affects the output, but it doesnt seem possible that 'conforming' to the properties of the sequence is the same thing as if you shot the original footage with those sequence settings. Something else must be meant by that right?
2. Will converting the original clips in streamclip change the frame rate..them from 24p to 29.97? If they are still 24p, then don't you still run into the same problem when you edit in FCE? And if they are changed to 29.97, how is that better than just dropping them onto a sequence set to HDV 1080 29.97fps and having it conform to that? What exactly is the upshot of doing the streamclip conversion? Especially if I don't care about the 24p look now.

No xdcam-ex settings available when setting up a new sequence

Hello.
When I start a new sequence, I am missing the xdcam-ex setting. I've begun a project with footage shot from a Kodak Zi8 in 720p, and I can not find a setting that will agree with my footage. The closest I got was AVC-Intra codec, but it still didn't work very well. I hear that the xdcam-ex settings work the best with Kodak's .mov files, but I am at a loss on how to set up my sequence accordingly.
I use Premiere Pro CS4 and have installed all updates.
3.1 quad core processor
8gb ram
Windows 7
Thanks for the help!

Here is a link for the CS5 Clean Script.
The CS4 one is no longer there.
The script gets rid off all the stuff that most un-installs miss so you can install it fresh.

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

How Do I Change My Sequence Settings to Match My Clip

Hello -
I shot some footage in SD with a frame size of 16:9. When I dragged a clip into my first sequence, FCP asked 'if I wanted the Sequence to assume the properties of the clip?' I hit 'yes' which changed the sequence to match my clip. However, when I created a new sequence(in the same project) and dragged a clip into it, FCP did not prompt me with the option to change the sequence settings. Now, I have a 4:3 sequence with a letterbox 16:9 clip. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks for your help!

Sequence settings misunderstanding

Hello everybody. I have searched the forums and have went back to the manual for FCP but cant seem to find the answer to my questions. Any help would be appreciated.
I am curious about the sequence settings in FCP. I believe that a mistake was made in the very beginning and i know that the editing timebase cannot be changed once a sequence has been created and edited in. It seems that other changes can be made though.
Before I go further, here is my set up... I shot on HDV 1080 24p (1440X1080).
My sequence settings for the project seem to deviate from what I shot at. Some things are as they should be and others are not. The frame size is good, the pixel aspect ratio is good, and my audio settings seem on track too.
However, The field dominance is set to Upper(odd)....this should be set to 'none' since i shot progressive correct??? My editing timebase is 29.97, since i shot 24p and it cannot be changed... how does this effect my project/the final output to dvd ?? My quicktime video settings are set to HDV 1080i60, it seems that I can change this back to what it was shot at, but my question about this is what exactly does this effect in relation to my project and final out put of the project to DVD??
I have not had any major problems viewing or working on my project in FCP. I have done a few tests with compressor and then burning to dvd, and my quality seems to be less than what I would like. I have tried different compression settings including HD MPEG-2 @ 18Mbps.
Could the loss of quality be coming from my current settings in FCP or are they more than likely in Compressor. If my frame controls in compressor are on, what should the rate conversion be set to, and what qualities does this effect? I also am not understanding the deinterlace settings. If the output field setting is to 'same as source', why does it even give you a choice if you shot progressive?? I AM Confused about these settings as well.
I realize there are many questions bundled within this post. Please be patient with me and any info would be appreciated.
thanks
joe

To my knowledge HDV at 1080 is interlaced.
You could:
Open a new sequence and drop a HDV clip in/FC will ask if you want to conform the sequence to the clip-click yes/sequence settings will now match the clip and show you exactly what you are dealing with. This info can also be found in the columns for each clip and sequence but I find sequence view is easier to understand what you have.
Creating a Blu-Ray via Compressor is your only option for HD on a disc. DSP has no relevant HD options as HD-DVD lost the format war to BR over two years ago.

Sequence Settings

Hi, I'm still fairly new at using FCP, and get a bit lost when it comes to the technical lingo. I need to know what sequence settings to use for an upcoming project. The footage is coming from three main sources, Sony XDCAM, Canon 5D Mark II and a Varicam, so it's all been transferred with different formats (frame size, compressor, video rate etc). Once the film is completed, we want to save it on a hard drive to send off for grading, and then transfer it to Digibeta (for TV).
Can someone tell me specifically what sequence settings should be used?
Thanks!

Final Cut Automatically sets the Sequence settings to match the video that you put into it. But if the video is from different cameras and is in different frame rates and such it might not all match up for the best. I guess the best thing to do would be to put the best format video in first. For example, if you have some HD quality video and then some SD put the HD in first so that the sequence is set to that. Like the guy before me said this is a question that cannot be simply answered without knowing more.
Hope this helps,
Matt
