Premiere 7.0 frame size problem!

Hello all who might be able to help.
Am in a jam with Adobe Premiere Pro (7.0)
I'm trying to change my frame size, usually this should be straight forward. But if you look at this picture I've taken
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o174/littlesirecco/001%20Non%20Bordelle%20de%20Dieu/grr rr.jpg
You'll see that the frame size box is un-editable. Driving me nuts, any clues gratefully received!
Thanks for your time.

You cannot change the framesize.
You will have to make a new project.

New Quick Time frame size problem when viewing

Just upgraded to FCPv7 and am having weird issues with playing back video in the new QT player.
I have exported several different formats of the same 30s video(ProRes422, H264 etc) . When played back, the window /frame size of the QT window is way out. The file info shows the correct info, as a 320 x 180 frame size, but QT keeps displaying it as larger than this, with poor quality (like it has been enlarged). If i export exactly the same file as a 480 x 270, it plays perfectly. I know it must be wrong as the dimensions of the QT windows are the same for both!
I have further checked this by playing both videos in my macbook (prev version of QT), and both play at the correct size.
How can I get the new version of QT to play the 320 x 180 at "actual size"? as the option is greyed out if I click properties?
Thanks

after an hours search on this forum. i found some ppl have the similar issue. it looks like my problem is one of those Layout problem
see before my code looks like this
            Component comp;
            if ( ( comp = player.getVisualComponent() ) != null ) {
                comp.setBackground( Color.BLACK );
                add( BorderLayout.CENTER, comp );
            }now i am doing this:
            Component comp;
            if ( ( comp = player.getVisualComponent() ) != null ) {
                comp.setBackground( Color.BLACK );
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();// get screen size
          comp.setSize(screenSize.width, screenSize.height); // set size to video component at the start
                add( BorderLayout.CENTER, comp );
            }i am not sure if this will fix my problem, i am keep running the test.
Thanks

MiniDV: frame size problem?!!

Hi guys
The case:
When I capture from MiniDV the captured footages come in 720 x 576 frame size, while the sequence I am using is 1440 x 1080 and sometimes full HD 1920 x 1080. My final video is the same size of my sequence. What I do right now to overcome the frame size differences problem is to scale my footage to frame size of the sequence, but that results in low quality of my final production.
The questions:
Q1: Is it possible to directly capture footages from MiniDV at frame size of 1440 x 1080 or 1920 x 1080?
Q2: Is it possible to change the frame size of 720 x 576 to 1440 x 1080 or 1920 x 1080 without having to scarify quality?
Q3: if none of the above is possible then what should I do to solve this problem?

not very good quality at that because the compression system used (the "codec") is not very efficient and therefore the quality of video you get saved to the tape isn't good.
That's quite debatable. The quality of DV compression is equal or even superior to standard definition Betacam SP, which was a broadcast industry standard.
Newer camcorders ( A few years ago ) dropped the miniDV compression mechanism and changed to miniHDV (which is actually MPEG4 part 10 aka AVCHD aka H.264) and record on the same "miniDV" tape at the same bitrate but because the compression is better it's possible to record HD on that older miniDV tape technology.
More than a few errors there. For starters, the HD format is called HDV, nothing "mini" in the name. Such cameras do use MiniDV tapes, but the format itself is called simply HDV. Further, HDV is an MPEG 2 compression scheme, not MPEG4. Further, the compression is very, very lossy, thus resulting in a image actually worse than DV in some ways, with many artifacts and a lesser color space. It's because so much more of the data is simply thrown out that you can fit the HD signal into the same SD data rate. And finally, AVCHD is the name of the MPEG4 standard, but there are no cameras that record AVCHD to tape. They all use internal hard drives or some type of flash card like SDHC.
Finally, you can use something like InstantHD to uprez normal DV footage into HD. I can't speak for the results, bot ideally it would be better to be shooting in HD form the start.

Frame Size Problem Still

O.K. my clip size is 586 x 440 and still when I insert it in the timeline is shrinks down with a black border around it and I have to resize and render every clip. I am capturing video off of my Magalia TV tuner card in MPEG4 format. Then I bring the clips into FCE HD 3.0. I checked the clip propertis in the timeline before I rendered them and it is the same size. What am I missing here. Thanks

Isn't this in another thread already?
The correct frame size for DV video is 720x480. Your video is smaller and doesn't fill the frame.

Trouble with Frame Size of AE Composition in Premiere CS6

I'm trying to add a name-bar (name-tag) from After Effects to my sequence in Premiere Pro. I built the name-tag in Illustrator according to the frame size in Premiere.
All of my name tags for a 640x480 frame fit perfectly. However, the tags I built for a 720x480 frame appear way, way too large. I can't figure out why. Below is an example of the issue I've been having:
As you can see, the bar on the bottom extends beyond the frame -- but I built it to be the same 720x480 frame size as the video clip.
So, without further adieu...help me. Please.

Alright, (sorry for the delayed response) here are the settings for the AE composition:
And there Sequence Settings:
And the video properties (2 images):
I hope this helps you help me.

How do I set custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5 sequence.

Premiere Elements 11 file sizes

Premiere Elements 11 file sizes?
I recorded small 170MB and larger 570MB videos with audio using HyperCam 3.
Both load and play back in Windows Media Player (ver 12.0.7601.18150) without a problem.
I can load and play back the small files in Premiere Elements 11 without a problem.
But, when I load the larger file into Premiere Elements 11, only the sound track loads and plays.
No video track and the preview screen is a solid black box on my monitor.
Is there a file size restriction in using Premiere Elements 11?

Martyson 2010
By the time I downloaded and looked at your sample video, I see that you and nealeh have worked out a workaround, that is, converting your Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi (1920 x 1080 @ 10 frames per second) to H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second.
I was able to convert your sample video into H.264.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second using the free HandBrake program). All 11 minutes 52 seconds of the H.264.mp4 imported into Premiere Elements 11 without issue.
In the case of these converters, we are dealing with changes in at least video compression, file extension, and frame rate.
However
The tests brought up some interesting questions
1. When I ran your file through the gspot utility, the video codec was shown as Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM), but it listed Codec NOT installed.
2. In spite of the Codec NOT installed, I was able to play back your video in Windows Media Player and VLC Player.
3. Your Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi imported with the complete duration of the file, but only audio, no video.
Further
4. When I ran my own Premiere Elements 11 created Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi (30 frames per second, 11 min duration) through gspot, the video codec was shown as Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM), but it listed Codec NOT installed - same as yours.
5. Yet, my file imported into Premiere Elements 11 completely (video and audio).
6. I need to run a Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM).avi 10 frames per second, 11 min duration) to see if I get the same results as in 5.
When you record your video, do you have the option of changing the frame rate from 10 to 30 frames per second?
So, some of the questions that the remain for me
a. Why is my Premiere Elements 11 created Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) appearing to be different from the Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) that you use in your file?
b. Why is gspot telling me that the Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) codec is not installed when I can use it in Premiere Elements 11 for the import and export of my own file?

Frame size doesn't match

I'm working on an animated project...doing the animation in Flash and then doing various effects and editing in Premiere Pro CS3. I've been rendering my scenes out of flash as PNG sequences, and then bringing them into Premiere...and so far it seems to be working well for picture quality and what not, but I just noticed something weird. I'm rendering frames from Flash with 1280x720 resolution...and in Premiere I'm working with a project size of 1280x720, so it should be a perfect fit, right? But it doesn't seem to be. If I render an image sequence from Premiere, the dimensions are fine, but if I render a video file it stretches the picture out horizontally for some reason, and also crops the left and right edges. I also noticed that in Premiere if I choose 'scale to fit frame size' in the timeline than the image shrinks a bit and leaves a very narrow letterbox at the top and bottom...this solves the cropping issue when I export but the image is still inexplicable stretched...not to mention that if the clip size has the exact same dimensions as the frame size, 'scale to fit frame size' really shouldn't do anything at all.
Anybody know what's going on here? At the moment it doesn't have a big impact on my project but when I finish and want to render out watchable video it's gonna be a problem, so I might as well figure it out now before I go any further.
thanks in advance

Ya, all my footage is the same size, I actually made a template file that I open and resave whenever I start a new scene so that all my settings would
be consistant...and my project settings match my export settings. The monitor in Premiere shows it cropped as well, but it doesn't get stretched until I export it...and then like I said if I export a targa sequence or something it's not stretched or cropped.
I'm not sure what you mean by par, thought.

Prelude to Premiere: Scale to Frame option

I have ingested/organized Red 4k files in Prelude and have sent the files over to premeire "sucessfully".
The problem comes when I pull a 4k file into a red timeline; (1080p). Even though my premiere's "scale to frame size" option by default is ON, the image does not scale, keeping the image at 100%, or zoomed in.
I do not see a setting anywhere in prelude for "scale to frame".
Please Assist.

This is what I've tried and did not work;
Mutiple methods to send to premiere (from prelude);
     right mouse click folder in project pannel>send to premiere pro
     Select folder in project pannel and go to file>send to premiere pro
     Select folder in project pannel and go to file>export project>Project type Final Cut XML
     Select folder in project pannel and go to file>export project>Premiere Pro
in premiere, there's no way to change the "scale to frame size after the fact (I believe), but I tried
     selecting media and right mouse click>Make offline, then relinking media
     importing premiere projects
     importing Final Cut XML
     importing prelude project (won't let you)

Premiere Elements 8 & MP4 video problem

A.T. Romano
Attached is my MP4 video from my Sanyo Xacti. When I perform a "Get Media" in Premiere Elements 8 I only see red cells in the timeline, task panel and playback monitor were red. No video images would display, only sound. Any Ideas?
Thanks APK

APK
SANY0002.MP4
According the gspot utility
Video Codec = MPEG-4 Video
Frame Size: 1280 x 720
Frame Rate: 29.97 frames per second
Sar = .1778 (16:9)
Par = 1:1
Dar = 1.778 (16:9)
Audio Codec = MPEG-4 AAC LC
48000 Hz 128 kb/s tot, stereo (2/0)
Premiere Elements 8 Import/Playback
SANY002.MP4 original. Video and Audio imported, but video presented as a bright red matte, but audio was fine.
SANY002.MP4 with file extension changed to .AVI. Video and Audio imported, but video presented as black video, but audio was fine.
Conversion Workaround Solution
Convert file to DV AVI widescreen (720 x 480 with 16:9 flag)
MPEG Streamclip (free MPEG Streamclip + QuickTime Alternative 1.81 (with free MPEG2 Playback Component) and uninstall regular QuickTime OR free MPEG Streamclip, leave your regular QuickTime installed, and buy the required Apple MPEG2 Playback Component)
http://www.squared5.com/
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
MPEG Streamclip suggested settings:
File Menu/Open, to bring in your video
File Menu/Export to AVI
Then in AVI/DivX Explorer dialog:
Compressor: Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Sound: Uncompressed
Put a dot next to 720 x 480 (DV NTSC)
Field Dominance: Lower Field First
Up at top right, click on Options, set there for Aspect Ratio = 16:9.
Only if necessary, put a check mark next to Deinterlace Video.
Anything that I did not mention, leave as is.
Finally, click on Make AVI and the job is done quickly and effectively.
This gave great results with your video, and this DV AVI version worked well video and audio wise in Premiere Elements 8.
Your could use the free Prism Video Converter, but the free version is limited to 4:3, and some export types are only available in the purchased version.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
Prism suggested settings:
Output format = .avi
Encoder Options = DV Encoder NTSC (Direct Show)
Edit Option = check mark next to Resize Video; uncheck Constrain Proportions; set for 720 x 480.
You could also get a .wmv version from this software. Look into that if you decide to use this converter instead of MPEG Streamclip which is my favorite.
There are lots to explore with your original HD MPEG-4 and its problems with Premiere Elements 8. At one point I had this video on a jump drive. When I went to import the video into Premiere Elements 8 from this jump drive, the Media Downloader was triggered. In the intermediate part of this process, a thumbnail of the video being exported is shown in the Media Downloader Advanced dialog. Interestingly, the thumbnail in the Media Downloader showed the video clearly, but once it got into the Premiere Elements 8 media area—bright red matte looking image in Organizer thumbnail and in the Edit Mode Monitor once the video was dragged to the Timeline.

Warp Stabilising footage after changing the size of the video frame size

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could resolve a problem I'm having with Warp Stabiliser in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. So I'm editing a video for a client and unfortunately a few scenes feature some camera shake, which don't look that aesthetically pleasing so I'm trying my best to get rid of the shake using Warp Stabiliser. I altered the frame size of the video from 1920x1080 to 1920x800 so I can have the 12:5 anamorphic look, however when I try to use Warp Stabiliser now a message pops up saying that it requires clip dimensions to match sequence and that I can fix it by nesting. I'm confused by this, I was wondering if anyone could help me by letting me know how to get round this, cause I would hate to have to do the entire video agin just because I altered the frame size. Thanks a lot.

For the warp to do its thing the clip needs to be the same as the sequence settings.
If not you get a warning like you have experienced. The only way to solve this is to nest the clip and then apply the warp to that nest.
On a side note i would edit everything in 1820x1080 and on export make it 1920x800.
For reference in your edit you can make a pillerbox matte in the titler.

Scale to frame size: clip lose quality

Hi
I'm working with Premiere CS3.
I captured a clip from a Sony HVR-Z1E over IEEE1394 in a HDV Project. Settings: HDV 1080i, 25.00 Frames/Second, HD Anamorphic 1080 (1,333), upper field first.
Afterwards I import the clip in a DV Project. Settings DV PAL, 25.00 Frames/Second,D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1, 422), upper field first.
In the timeline, I scale down the clip manually (under effectsettings/ move/scale)the clip to 53.3%. The clip lose quality. Pixels seems to be bigger. The same also happens if I check "scale to frame size".
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Regards, Corinne

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Yes that's right. But in CS2 the lose of quality was much smaller then in CS3. The clip was after scaling to 53.3% still useful. That can't be the problem.
I thought thath SD DV is upper field?
regards, Corinne

Is it possible to set frame size for a new project ?

Hi all,
i would like to create a video in which there will be 2 videos playing the same content from a different angle.
Each video is 512 x 384 .
So i would like to set the frame size of the project as 1024 x 768 in order both videos to exist.
I searched around for tutorials regarding this but i didn't find anything similar.It seems as if i cannot set the frame size of the project from the start.
So,is there a way to do this?
Thank you for your time reading this.

Hi and thank you for your answers.
@->shoternz
It will be displayed in my monitor and probably on you tube.Btw your remark on size was very accurate.Didn't think of that.
Although i could use a little bigger height to use it to display a logo or something....
I am very premiere newbie as you can understand.
