Premiere CS3 no me exporta en formato 16:9

Hola,
Lo he intentado con todas las posibilidades de tipo de archivo y codec pero no me exporta en 16:9. El material es DV anamórfico. Al exportar selecciono Widescreen PAL. También he puesto como tamaño de frame 1024-576, pero nada, es imposible y siempre me exporta en 4:3.
Agradecido si me podéis ayudar.
Saludos.

Hola,
en primer lugar pido disculpas por mi español Google. Porque nadie ha escrito nunca, echa un vistazo de nuevo para ver:
http://www.google.de/#hl=de&source=hp&q=Premiere+CS3+Export+16%3A9&btnG=Google-Suche&aq=f& aqi=&aql=&oq=Premiere+CS3+Export+16%3A9&gs_rfai=&fp=1&cad=b
Allí se encuentran varias referencias, el tema parece ser conocido.
Me parece interesante:
Header 1
Header 2
entonces ni siquiera tener los valores por defecto, pero todos los actos de forma manual. 720x576 píxeles con relación de aspecto de pantalla ancha 16:9 D1/DV PAL (; 1.422) o 1024x576 píxeles con una relación de aspecto 1.0.
dann nimm mal nicht die voreinstellungen, sondern stell das ganze manuell ein. 720x576 mit Pixelseitenverhältnis D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (;1,422) oder 1024x576 mit Pixelseitenverhältnis 1,0.
por lo que se puede exportar todo lo que quiera. Breve descripción:
1. ser un archivo de vídeo en la línea de tiempo debe makiert (Mira)
2. Voy a Archivo -> Exportar - Medios de comunicación> -> se abrirá la configuración de exportación
3. Formato: H264
4. "Default": Definido por el usuario
5. Pestaña "Vídeo"
6. Anchura de la caja siguiente fotograma y la altura del marco debe estar deshabilitada
7. Marco de anchura y altura de bastidor modifica
Puedo ajustar cualquier relación de aspecto. parada importante es el punto "4" es definido por el usuario.
also ich kann alles so exportieren wie ich möchte. Kurze Beschreibung:
1. Eine Videodatei auf der Timeline muss makiert sein(Angeklickt)
2. Ich gehe auf Datei -> Exportieren -> Medien -> es öffnen sich die Exporteinstellungen
3. "Format": H264
4. "Vorgabe": Benutzer definiert
5. Reiter "Video"
6. Kästchen neben Framebreite und Framehöhe muss deaktiviert werden
7. Frame breite und Frame höhe einstellenSo kann ich jedes beliebige Seitenverhältniss einstellen. Wichtig ist halt der Punkt "4." das es benutzer definiert ist.

  • Premiere CS3 and 24p exporting

    Hello,
    I've been working on this problem for a long time.
    I have some clips shot with a Canon XL2 in 24p mode with 2:3:3:2 pulldown. I import in Premiere CS3 in a 24p project, go in "Interpreter footage" and set "Remove 24p pulldown", and in the timeline the clips are good, 24p without interlaced frames.
    Then I go exporting: I want export in 24p (23,97) DV format.
    1) If I choose "Microsoft DV AVI" with "DV (24p Advanced)", the clips I get are in 29,97 with still the flagged frame that should have been removed. So I have the same output format that I get setting DV NTSC with his 29,97 framerate.
    2) If I choose "Microsoft AVI" and then I go with an alternative DV codec, such as the Panasonic's one (but I've tried many and I've got the same results, so I don't think it's their fault), I get a 23,97 clip, but the frame that has been removed is not the flagged and interlaced one, is one of the progressive. Watching the clip frame to frame I see that I have 24 fps: 3 progressive, 1 interlaced, 3 progressive, 1 interlaced, and so on.
    Let me know. Sorry for my bad english but I'm italian.
    Thank you

    My own testing shows that Premiere doesn't create 24p friendly DV files. I've had much better success creating 24p MPEG2-DVD files.

  • I have exported a file from premiere cs3 using quicktime animation codec, when i burn it the audio is not there..help!?

    hello.
    am having a proble with adobe premiere cs3
    i have exported the file as quicktime using the animation codec, with 100per cent quality as it needs to be the highest quality
    when i play the file with media player the sound is there, but when i burn it onto a dvd the audio is not there anymore... i really dont understand what i am doing wrong! can anyone help please?
    i am using quicktine as im told this the best for optimum lossless quality
    if i cannot burn it with audio using the quikctime animation codec, then i might try exporting it as an avi file. if so, what is the best codec to use for lossless quality?
    thankyou!!!!

    And when you follow Jim's suggestions, Export as elemental streams, i.e. one Video-only file and one Audio-only file. Encore will like that better.
    Good luck,

  • My Premiere CS3 crashes when I am exporting anything.

    Premiere CS3 crashes on my HD project Most of the video i am working with is from the new 5D   The files are as I recorded them on the camera there have been no conversion done to them. when ever I try to export anything out of premiere it crashes and windows Vista 64 crashes with it showing a blue screen and restarting the computer.  I don't know whats the problem. I think it mite be my hard drives or something on the hardware end.
    I am running

    BSOD can also point to heat, bad RAM, MoBo issue or power supply not adequate, along with Jeff's suggestions.
    This ARTICLE might point you in the right direction.
    I cannot recall if that article mentions Speedfan, but if it IS a heat issue, that will help you sort it out.

  • Export from Premiere CS3 Dimmed.

    I just installed Premiere CS3. I've compiled a simple sequence of about 200 jpegs and I'm trying to export them to Encore to burn the little show on DVD. The "Export to Encore" option is dimmed in the export menu. I have ran the sequence through the media encoder according to the tutorial on the Adobe website. What I am doing wrong?

  • Flash to premiere cs3 then export to HD

    Hi
    What i need to do is Create a Flash swf, then import to premiere through third part plugin (flash ants, is this good?), then add some audio, then burn it to DVD.
    The issue is getting the a good quality video from the export from premiere. i have tried to export as HD 1080i  25 high quality but when i play back the output its all jittery is this due to my machine, i have a pretty grunty one though.
    Eventually i would like to create a dvd but it looks like you cant have HD when using Encore so how do i retain the quality?
    Also what size should i make my document in Flash. i have tried 720x480 but this proved to be insufficient. i tried doubling that and then shrinking in premiere which seemed to work quite well when exported ad HD (thou jittery).
    The reason i want to do this is because we have an expo coming up and i want to create a profile for business i work in. This profile will be displayed on a 40inch HD LCD and run from a DVD where the dvd will have to loop.
    The only programs i have are adobe create suite CS3 so we will have to work within these limitations.
    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    My best advice is to create the whole thing in Flash and run it from a Laptop.  Just skip the whole 'video' idea on this one.  It'll ruin your whole day.

  • HD Export/Render issues Premiere CS3

    Hey, I've had this problem for a while now and just cant seem to figure out how to fix it.
    A while back I purchased a Hauppauge HD-PVR for capturing Xbox 360 footage in HD. Everything works fine until I try to export the footage. Once it's done exporting and I review the video, the feed gets all messed up and pixelated at times.
    EX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phzsxWIM6ao
    I've looked at the video immediately after capture and it appears fine. I import the video into Premiere CS3, render the work area, and review the video (while still in Premiere) and it still has no problems. It isn't until it is fully rendered and exported that things get messed up. I've tried a few different things to fix this problem (deinterlacing, frame rate, bitrate) but nothing seems to work. Any advice?

  • Which codex to export from FCpro 7 to Premiere cs3?

  • Premiere CS3: How can you encode xml cue point data in the chapter section of a marker for FlashVid?

    Hi there,
    I'm a total newb to this forum, so hello adobe premiere community! I'm perplexed by Adobes documentation on Premiere (and I'm sure I'm not the first ) anyway on the live documents page below:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS9390BED7-9466-46ea-A0E A-3240F1AFC36C.html
    it states that:
    “The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Adobe Premiere Pro will be encoded as Flash XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.”
    Which is great…except this information doesn’t exist seemingly in either the Premiere documentation or Flash either for that matter, but as I’m interested in working with the chapter/marker area in Premiere – should I really be told to go off and search the documentation for another application, probably not!  What would have been useful would have been a code snippet saying you do it like this, but of course, that would make things too easy!
    Basically, I understand that in After FX you can add Flash marker information specifically for interpretation when exporting to Flash Video (i.e. name, type and parameters etc) and it suggests that you can do the same above in Premiere CS3 using some kind of concatenated string in the chapter area…it just doesn’t tell you how anywhere seemingly – WHY ADOBE!
    Currently when I export markers as cue points based on the advice in the page above, anything I put in the chapter section to force Premiere to create a cue point is converted to a string, which becomes the cue point ‘name’.
    This cue point name is then automatically appended to the ‘time’ the marker was inserted at and is always encoded as type ‘navigation’, with no obvious means of adding ‘parameters’ into the equation.
    So (finally) does anyone know if you can insert this information into the chapter area for correct interpretation by flash (i.e. thus allowing you to choose between either 'navigation' or 'event' types, and pass as many 'parameters' as you wish etc) or are you just limited to supplying a name, and it being automatically set to the navigation type with no parameters?
    I’m sorry for this long essay but at least the issue is well defined for you to answer, honestly any help you can provide what so ever would really be most appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Kat
    PS – I have utterly no knowledge of XML either just in case you were wondering – and my only interest in XML is getting this basic information encoded into the FLV file from Premiere Pro CS3! Please help, pretty please with daisy’s!!!

    Hi dradeke,
    Thanks for your reply, which is indeed useful as clearly Adobe have made this task easier and less obscure in CS4 by adding simple interface functionality, however I'm stuck with using CS3 for the moment.  Its not majorly a problem as the video material in question can be exported uncompressed then setup with cue points using the Flash encoder as an alternative (i.e. or even After FX CS3 also) which both provide the same features as Premiere CS4 seemingly. It is just that it would be much easier to be able to drop in simple markers whilst working with Premiere CS3, as this is what we are going to be using primarily, I just wondered if anyone knew how to invoke this in CS3 - its possible you can't, the documentation is vague at best!
    However I really appreciate your response and help, thanks 

  • Error compiling movie: out of memory !!! Premiere CS3

    Hey every1 --- desperate need of some guidance here. I've been all over the internet and these boards --- have seen this come up with a lot of people but no real solid answers that I'd seen or that have helped.
    First off, my comp is an imac 3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory. (just bought the computer last year)
    I'm shooting with a canon 7d in HD (1920 x 1080p) and I'm editing using Premiere CS3. I've noticed that editing has become very difficult since I started using HD; playback is very choppy and the 'quality settings' in the preview monitor are a joke and do absolutely nothing whether it's on draft or automatic.
    Anyway, despite the choppiness and slow editing, I was able to get a 3 min clip completed. These are my export settings:
    Export > Movie
    H.264
    960 x 540
    23.976 fps
    Square pixels,
    100% quality,
    recompress: unchecked.
    Once exported (I was able to export smaller timelines previously--- say, 50 secs of footage or so) the files look AMAZING and from there I use them for online video via vimeo -- stuff looks really awesome.
    Anyway, recently I'm getting: 'Error compiling movie. Out of Memory. Change optimization preferences to memory', etc. etc. Well, I did as it asked and that did absolutely nothing.
    So, I decided to open up my activity monitor and watch what's going on with my memory while premiere is exporting. I also closed ALL unused applications. System runs at about 2.16gb free memory before I start exporting. Memory seems stable during export UNTIL around the 50% exporting mark, and then its starts climbing like crazy and my memory just gets eaten up --- finally resulting in a crash at about 70% render.
    I really don't know what else to do. Does my computer not have the power to export 3 min of HD footage??? This seems surprising to me ... I don't know what else to try.
    Thanks for any help !!!
    -Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Hope you are having a wonderful day.
    Sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. Although I did not specifically get the out of memory error, I can only be convinced that that is the problem.
    Although I am not a computer whiz, I have learned my share of things. I have been troubleshooting a video all this week (really, a couple of months), but I had to put it aside and come back to it.
    I tend to be talkative; so I will get back on topic or at least try to stay on topic, so bare with me. Smile....
    Here is what I have learned and maybe it will help you with yours if you have not found a solution already.
    Based on your hard drive specs and ram, I was thinking the same thing e.g. hard to believe that you are not able to render 3 minutes of video in HD. I primarily work in HD/1080p.
    The place where we are similar is that I eventually could get the video to render by reducing the workspace that is rendered piece by piece until I was able to render the entire file. When I tried to encode the video, I kept getting error compiling messages. I tried different codecs, deleting xmpses, not rendering xmpses, etc. I could not figure out the keyframe trick so I just put in a black video from after effects. By the way, all of my videos intro the same and no problems with the other videos fading from black to a still photo.
    Here is the problem from what I could gather.
    Simply, out of memory. I was rendering and trying to encode a 45 minute video with after effects compositions and the dynamic linking kept timing out once the file reached a certain size. There were no other true fancy effects. I do alot on the green screen and just use after effects to make a white background. Smaller videos, rendering has been slow, but doable. This massive video would never compile. I won't bore you with my system specs, but know that similar to your situation, the system in theory should have been adequate.
    Work around...
    I ended up exporting the video as 3 separate 15 minute video clips. I could not get them to encode as .wmv files so I encoded them as .mp4 files. By the way, I still encoded in HD.
    Here is the kool stuff.
    After what seems like forever, I found a converter that could convert .mp4 to .wmv and rejoin the files to play as one large file with the same quality as my source file and no audio synching issues. By the way, I do not work for this company. I just found this encoder at 4 o'clock this morning after trying all of these other converters that were straight garbage or were free to try and not really free if you wanted quality. By the way, the conversion tool is not only user friendly, but free which is awesome.
    The name of the software is Media Cope. Just visit www.mediacope.com.... Be sure to send the owner an e-mail to thank him and let him know that Mark sent you. I just sent him an e-mail earlier to let him know that I was going to post on Adobe what a wonderful software he created. I just needed something free, quick, easy, and user-friendly.
    Whoops... got off topic....
    I'll do a summary at the end for my recommendation to you.
    Here are some other tidbits that I learned as well that may save you some time.
    When editing this is what I do now...
    1) I use CCleaner from www.piriform.com to quickly clean my system especially temporary files before I start editing and if I am switching from project to project.
    2) In all of my troubleshooting this week, I found a kool little software call Smart Close. (Just google to find this one.) It closes all of your non-critical background files in order to maximize system resources. (When I am done editing, I just reboot and all of my background programs start up again. You do not have to do it that way, that's just how I do it. The nice thing is that it is a wizard interface; so you do not have to try to figure out if a process in the background is critical or non-critical.)
    3) Depending on my mood and if I did not forget, smile.... I change the priority to high for the adobe products in the task manager.
    More things that I learned...
    1) We are not able to change the temp file for how Adobe encodes. My logic was if I could change the encoding to a hard drive that was simply empty so Adobe can render there, then I would be good. Wrong.... Adobe does not allow you to change the temp location. (Note: This is what I discovered in the different forums; so encoding to an external hard drive is not the best move. Read more to se why.)
    2) It is best to have your scratch disks as your internal disk. If you have multiple internal disks, then you shoud check some other forums for the best way to set up your scratch disks. When I was just starting out, I bought an external hard drive enclosure with the thought that I would work primarily off of those external drives with the option of doing some RAID work. Bad idea... Even the simplest of tasks took forever. It was best to work off of the internal drive. By the way, I still use the enclosure hard drives for backups in order to allow me to free up some space on the primary hard drive. When rendering, it is truely a use of the RAM and the hard drive space in the editing process.
    I'll leave you with this...
    I take back what I said earlier, you do need a new computer with more RAM. If you can get 16 GB, great. The primary reason is that if you are editing in Premiere and if you do anything with dynamic linking into your after effects, it will cause your ram to climb as the file gets larger. Of course, be sure to get the largest hard drive possible as an internal drive, the maximum on processor speed, 64 bit operating system, etc.
    I know you are like by now, Mark, what is the point of all of your gibberish... Really, it was to share with you and others on some really kool work arounds.
    My recommendation for you are as follows.
    1) You have already proven that you can render and encode 50 second clips and you are very happy with those clips, so create separate smaller clips for this particular project.
    2) Once you have the final clips outputted, then use Media Cope to rejoin the files as one large file and you are done.
    (Note: The one thing that I did notice is that there is a small break right between where the files are merged. The nice thing is that as a video editor/film maker, you will be the only person likely to notice it because you know where the breaks are. The other nice thing is that the untrained eye will not notice it and if you had to submit your work to a television station especially on DVD, the video system should recognize the file as one large file and play all the way through. Note: For the last sentence, I said 'should play all the way through' as I have not had a chance to check this one yet as I just finished this project today and still have to turn in all of my videos. I still have some more videos to merge.)
    By the way, the only specs that I will share are that I work on a PC and it has 8 GB of ram.
    The summary of the summary is that sometimes an error compiling message could simply be that your system does not have resources to render and the encode that large of a file. At least that is what I learned this week or at least my specific situation. The confirmation is that I just finished shooting a documentary which was one hour and some change and was able to render and encode to .wmv with no problems. Of course, I was not using after effects for this particular project.
    In either case, hope all the information helps you with your project.
    Have a wonderful day and happy holidays everyone.

  • How to get HD presets in Premiere CS3?

    Hi,
    I use Adobe Premiere CS3 under W7 and I would like to import, process and export movie clips in HD resolution (1920 X 1080).
    The files to import  are video files  having a format .wmv or .mp4 with the above mentioned resolution and located on the hard disk.
    When opening a new project I have  the presets folders  for DV-24P, DV-PAL, DV-NTSC and folder HDV which is unfortunately empty.
    Looking In the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Program File  I found a folder called Settings which contains a folder HDV with all the HD presets such as HDV 1080i30.prpreset or HDV 1080p25.prpreset.
    How can I "move" these presets into the empty presets folder HDV in the program in order to access them?
    Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
    N.B. So far I can import the 1929 x 1080 clips , but then they are processed and exported as 720 x 576 files hence loosing the original  HD resolution.

    Do you have a USB hard drive handy?
    If yes, you need to make a full boot drive backup to that USB hard drive before changing anything
    Hardware crashes or virus infections or simple software problems happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
    Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

  • CRAM Codec & Premiere CS3

    I'm doing some simple editing in Premiere CS3.  My pre-recorded videos play fine in Windows Media Player, but export jerky and vibrating after editing them.
    After doing some research I found out that my pre-recorded videos us the CRAM (Microsoft Video 1) codec.  The program G-spot tells me that I do not have this codec installed.
    If I install this codec will my videos export properly?, or should I be converting them before editing (is this possible?). My worry is that if installing the codec solves the issue, after burning to dvd will others who play the dvd experience issues?
    I'm pretty new to this so very basic instructions are best lol.
    Thanks guys.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Have to admit that I have not heard of the CRAM CODEC.
    Now, the installation of some CODEC's will allow PrPro to Import, edit and Export - though not all. The first two operations in that list are usually the "weak sisters." Installation might help you with Export.
    Now, before you do that, is a DVD-Video your ultimate goal? If so, do NOT Export in any CODEC, but either DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio (or DD AC3 for DD 5.1 SS), or fully DVD-compliant MPEG-2.
    One can Export in either of these (I choose DV-AVI elemental stream, and AC3 DD 5.1 SS elemental stream), and then Import the Video into Encore as a Timeline and the Audio as an Asset. Drag the Audio to the appropriate Timeline and author to DVD-Video in Encore.
    If you know what you're doing, you can use bit-budgeting to calculate your MPEG-2 compression, Export that, and then Import it into Encore. Make sure that all settings are 100% DVD-compliant.
    Now, back to your quality problem:
    The source files are using CRAM, but you do not have it. Installing it might improve the quality, or it might not. What are the settings that you have used on Export, where you got the bad results?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Hilights Clipping Problem with Premiere CS3 Media Encoder

    I've just discovered a pretty serious problem with the way Premiere CS3 processes video to the Media Encoder.
    Many of you are familiar with the term "super whites", the ability of modern cameras to capture and record levels above 100 IRE. With HDV and newer technology, recording to 109 IRE is quite common.
    I was aware for some time that importing this footage into Premiere results in a hard truncation of whites above 100 IRE. However, I discovered last month that the Fast Color Corrector has a Output Levels adjustment that can rescale all the levels to fit down in the 0-100 IRE range. I verified this using the scopes in Premiere and by observing recovered details in my footage. I was even able to export frames to TIFF files and show the recovered highlights in the exported TIFFs. The difference is substantial and not subtle--it's the difference between a sky completely blown to white and one where you can see the sky is blue with clouds in it.
    Last night, I discovered that the Unsharp Mask filter doesn't handle footage above 100 IRE, either. Even if I use Levels to set 0-235 RGB range, somehow, Unsharp Mask is processing the un-level-adjusted signal, regardless of stacking order of the filters.
    I rendered two Blu-ray discs, one with Unsharp and the other without. To my astonishment, BOTH discs lacked any detail in the highlights--the whites were clipped at 100 IRE!
    Now I turned attention to the Media Encoder. Pausing on a frame where I can see the difference between 100 IRE and 109 IRE and shades in between, I fire up the Media Encoder and note that even in ME's previews screens, the whites are already clipped. There is more highlight detail in the program monitor, whereas it's all gone in the Media Encoder's display.
    It is obvious that highlight information, even scaled back to 0-235, is being treated as if it were 0-255 and clipped at 235 before passing to the encoder. This is a real disappointment, because there is another half f-stop of detail up there that I was trying to pull into the useable range of 100 IRE for the Blu-ray disc. Since it is very difficult to shoot footage and limit the peak whites in-camera to no more than 100 IRE, nearly all of us are losing valuable picture information.
    Even if you can recover the highlights on the timeline through a Levels filter, it gets thrown away again on the way to the Media Encoder. Short of exporting a few hundred thousand frames as .TGA files and then loading those back in and rendering out to whatever motion CODEC, I am at a loss as to how to get Premiere to leave the whites intact.
    I haven't seen this issue discussed in any detail here. Has anyone found a way around it, besides reshooting all your footage of one-time events to sub 100 IRE levels?

    I'd rather the camera added that extra lattitide within the appropriate 0 to 100 IRE range.
    That's a lot like saying you want 10 gallons of water in an 9-gallon jug.
    As it is, it looks like such adjustments will need to be done on a clip by clip basis.
    Or, you can do it the "Dan" way in AviSynth. I wrote a script function called SoftLimiter: It applies photoshop-style curves on the Y + U + V channels to bring the maximums within legal range… using a sort-of "soft-knee" approach to reducing extreme highlights and/or oversaturated areas.
    It causes a tiny bit of posterization in the highlights, just like all 8-bit per channel color adjustments do… but it is hardly noticeable on a computer screen and even less on TVs.
    SoftLimiter for AviSynth 2.5
    Create a folder C:\SoftLimiterCurves\ and place the .amp curves files in that folder.
    Place the other files in your AviSynth 2.5 / plugins folder.
    The example below assumes DV avi files and requires a DV codec (such as Cecocida DV, MainConcept, Canopus) that can read / write in YUV formats.
    Create a script like this:
    AviSource("dv.avi", pixel_type="YUY2")
    SoftLimiter()
    Open the script in VirtualDub, use Video / Fast Recompress, Select Cedocida DV codec. File / Save as .avi
    Before:
    After:
    And, Jim… you can place your dv2film() command at the end of this script if that's what you're trying to accomplish.
