Premiere Pro CS3 - Advice on file export size?

I recorded a 2 hour TV documentary onto a DVD-RW, and I ripped it using Any Video Converter. The ripped file is a 720x540 Xvid AVI, and it is 1.6GB. I then edited the programme down to 20 minutes in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. I then exported the 20 minute video to AVI, video compression MC_DVD, and the file is 4GB in size. Obviously it makes no sense that the 2hr video should be 1.6GB and the 20-minute video should be 4GB. Is there a way I can export this video (either using the Export option, or the Adobe Media Encoder, I don't mind which) to a reasonable file size, without losing video quality? Unfortunately the picture quality of the united rip isn't brilliant anyway, so I really don't want to lose any more picture quality, but there has to be a reasonable size that I can get the video down to.

It's actually not legal for you to be doing this, so it would be unethical for anyone here to help you do it.

Premiere Pro CS3 - Preset & Media File Questions

Volunteered to create a high school football highlight video using Premiere Pro CS3 on a Mac. The video will be shown in a banquet hall using a NEC projector attached to the ceiling. The hall owner doesn't have any info on the projector, so I don't know its native resolution or any other specs. The screen is standard size.
I'm being given a potpourri of media:
1) The team's game DVDs shot from the press box. MPEG Streamclip shows the VOBs have these properties: 720 × 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 9.30 Mbps, upper field first - 128 AC3 2/0, 48 kHz, 256 kbps. Right or wrong, I converted the VOBs to dv files for import into PP with these properties: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 × 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 28.77 Mbps - DV stereo, 48 kHz, 28.77 Mbps.
2) Field level video taken with a Canon HV30 (HD, wide screen). The files I've been given are: Apple Intermediate Codec, 960 × 540, 29.97 fps, 30.09 Mbps - 16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps. I could ask to have these files recaptured as SD files.
3) Many side line photos (TIFFs) taken with a Canon 30D.
After editing the project, I was planning on exporting the final video/audio as a mov file to be played from my lap top hard drive rather than from a DVD. Not sure about the export settings to do this for best quality.
But first, which PP preset should I use for this project, or should I use custom settings? If so, what should they be?
Have I converted the VOBs to the proper format?
Should I recapture the HV30 footage or convert it to another format?
I have the photos in Lightroom and can export them as TIFFs, JPEGs, PSDs or DNGs and can resize them down if necessary. Any suggestions?
Finally, I was thinking of converting the background music from mp3s to aif files at 48 kHz, 16-bit to be consistent across the different audio files. Any suggestions with the audio?
Any thoughts or suggestions on these issues would be most appreciated. If the answers to these questions hinge on the projector type, I may have to wing it....or buy my own projector. Ouch.
Sorry for the length of this post.

I recommend setting up a 720x480 4:3 project. At the very least, have
them recapture the #2 video files as widescreen SD. (I'll refrain from
making any comments about the usefulness of AIC at half-HD) The
recaptured widescreen SD files will end up letterboxed in your 4:3
timeline. Your other choice would be to set up a 720x480 16:9 project,
but that would end up pillarboxing the 4:3 footage. Your choice.
I think you did a fine job converting the VOBs.
Resize the images in Photoshop. Get them as close to 720x480 as you
can, adjusting that upward to account for any panning and zooming that
you might want to do. But don't increase the size any more than you
have to. You definitely want to avoid working with huge frame-size
images in Pr.
48k 16-bit stereo audio should work just fine.
You should find out the native resolution of the projector, and whether
or not it has an internal scaler.

Premiere Pro cc crashing on file export with Windows 8.1

Windows just crashed three consecutive times when trying to export. My files are all updated and current. I found this was mentioned in a thread as being a Mac only problem. It is not! It's very frustrating to be unable to produce video for export when working for a national publication with deadlines with a product that has been on the market this long and the fact that I pay a month subscription fee for timely updates and fixes. Help Please!

Exporting to OMF files from Premiere Pro CS3

How do I export audio files on Premiere Pro CS3 to OMF files?

I dont think you can.
Audio-only formats
• AIFF-C for 5.1 channel mapping (Mac OS only)
• Dolby© Digital/AC3 (requires Minnetonka SurCode)
• MPG
• PCM
• RealMedia
• Windows Media Audio (WMA) (Windows only)

Premiere Pro CS3 Will Not Import Any Files

I connected my Motorola DVR to my PC (Windows XP SP2) with HD content passing through a Firewire 1394 connection. I opened a new Premiere Pro CS3 (Master Collection) file and accidentally selected capture. The computer immediately went to blue screen. After rebooting I cannot import any files into new or old Premiere Pro projects. It appears I compromised the software when I accidentally hit the capture button. Encore works fine so I am assuming the problem is only with Premiere Pro. Is there any way of reinstalling only Premiere Pro from the CS3 Master Collection disc set without having to reinstall the entire suite of programs?

You may be better off installing the whole suite again.

Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

Hi everyone,
I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection. All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain. All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons. When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment. In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3. I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved. To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card. The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
This works great...on my office computer.
The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio. I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears. If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio. All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines. If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio. Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week. Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies. Again, video imports, audio doesn't. No audio layer appears.
Thanks!

See if this helps... To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 is exporting in the wrong size

I want to export my clip I've made in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 while choosing the option "HDV 720p24" (I've also tried 25, 30 and a few others).
It says in Video Settings before I even start to work on my clip:
"Frame Size: 1280h 720v"
Which is EXACTLY what I want.
However, whenever I choose to export my clip, it ends up being 720 x 480. That's not even 16:9/Widescreen.
I've tried entering the settings when choosing the export options, but the preset 720 x 480 can't be change.
Why is this? Is it impossible to expert a clip to be in 1280 x 720 or any other custom pixelsize I want?
Best regards, Izzy.

Hi everyone,
I apologize for digging up an old thread, but I figured that I'm experiencing this exact problem and have no idea how to work around it I might as well post in an already started topic.
I'm trying to export 1280 x 720 video to that same resolution, but Premiere Pro will not let me choose anything other than 720 x 480 for the size when I try to export through File > Export > Media. I have attempted to use multiple media formats but have had no results for what I need. If it really help, I've posted a couple of screenshots showing my current project settings, but this is just one of a few different formatting attempts which have all turned out the same:

Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Subject: Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.

Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

Big problems exporting from Premiere Pro CS3

Hey all.
Would be massively grateful if anyone here could help me out. I'm in the process of trying to export a 23 and a half minute project from Premiere Pro CS3. I've tried exporting to different formats, (Quicktime, MPEG2, etc..) but keep arriving at the same conclusion. The process will freeze midway through, and I'm greeted by the following error messages:
"premiere pro debug event
premiere pro has encountered an error
[..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]"
When I close that, another window pops up saying;
"export error
application failed to return a video frame.
cancelling the operation."
I'm not really sure where to go from here. Previously during the process of editing this project, I would occasionally get a message telling me that premiere pro was "running low on system memory". Fearing this to be the problem I was having while exporting, I attempted to export an extremely low quality version of the project, but arrived at the same conclusion. I also wondered if there was a corrupt frame or clip somewhere that was causing the issue, so I overlayed one whole transparent clip over the whole sequence and tried to export, but again, the same result.
I now have to put all my faith in you Adobe Wizards! Please ask me any questions that might help you to arrive at what may be causing the problem, I'll answer them the best I can
Many thanks!

FAR too small !!!
The program itself uses more than that for temporary working files
Also, unless you already have a 2nd hard drive or eSata external, you are below specification
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX). Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc. project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly. When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE. That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot. Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
please help!
thank you

Premiere Pro CS3 exporting issues

Hey everyone,
Been racking my brain lately trying to figure this one out but i've yet to fix the problem.
I'm getting various errors when trying to export a video. These range from and include; the traditional failure to render (with the error coming at various points), video rendering losing a frame, unkonw errors and the infamous "\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114" error.
I have been browsing the forums and encountered a suggestion to optimize the speed of rendering based on my memory by going through the edit>preferences>general option.
Specs of my computer: I run a Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit OS, 4GB ram, with an intel core 2 duo processor @ 2.80 GHZ. For a video card i run a Radeon 5830. All drivers for everything are fully updated and current. I am currently using one 500 gb HDD and a 2TB external. In addition to the computers spec i feel it is important to note that i run a dual monitor display with one 26 inch @ 16:9 and one 19 inch @ a 4:3.
As adivised by Hunt in anothe rpost i have taken the liberty of looking into the size of the paging file for all drivers. It is 3327 MB.
Should anybody require more details let me know.
Problems and errors: The errors which i am having are not restricted to certain intervals of the video, they range and can occur at any point throughout the exporting and rendering process. This most commonly will occur within the first 30%.
The video itself is a little more than 12 minutes long and contains footage from two different cameras, each one had provided a different file type (the primary being .MOV and the secondary being .AVI) At first i had believed that the secondary cameras footage could have been the problem (we had never used this camera for filming prior to this) so i ran a conversion on the file types through AVS and transfered them to a .MOV file as well. However, this seems to have not resolved any isseus with errors. Prior to this video i had never had any issues with Premiere Pro and exporting, that being said, i am still fairly new to premiere pro.
I have tried exporting this file in may different ways. The main one, . AVI had no luck and was mainly plagued with the "\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114" error with a few unknown errors present just to mix it up a bit. I began trying to export through encoder to find an extension/any settings that could possibly work. The main one which i've been trying is the .MOV extension with the intent of uploading to youtube. settings i use for exporting on that are as follows:
quallity - 100
width - 1280
height - 720
bitrate - 4000
Every piece of video within the footage runs at 29.97 fps (what we try to export at) with the exception of the three clips from the secondary camera which were previously AVI. They run at 30.00. All file types are shot in 1280x720. The one image which is present as a title overlay within the video is also a 1280x720 size.
If anybody has insight towards this issue please let me know, i would be very happy.
Should anybody require any further information give me a shout, i'll do my best to provide it.

Premiere Pro CS3: bad video quality when exporting for YouTube

Hi!
I'm a newbie to this forum and yes, I've looked for an answer before posting. I'm also pretty new to Premiere Pro and I hope that the problem I'm having is more my fault than Premiere's (it most likely is.)
I have project, a little YouTube-Video. But whenever I export it, the quality is really poor. I've also tried rendering it with Windows Movie maker and, strangely enough, the quality is much better and closer to the original file. My big question is: what am I doing wrong?
Here are some additional info:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit (PC)
The movie file was shot with a Sony DSC-W170 and is an .mpg file
Video:
640x480
10418kBit/s (total: 10483 kBit/s)
30fps
Audio:
64kBit/s
Mono
32kHZ
Project settings: DV-Pal
Standard-PAL-Video (4:3 Interlaced).
48 kHz (16 Bit) Audio
I used the Adobe Media Encoder for the export, H.264/YouTube. I've also tried several other settings, but I never get as good a result as with the Windows Movie maker. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? (Maybe the quality of the video already suffers when I import the files into Premiere Pro? The video in the source and the cutting window is very blurry.)
Here you can see for yourself what it looks like:
File rendered with Adobe Premiere CS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAyx6O27Dg
File rendered with Windows Movie Maker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeoUOfM_uo&feature=youtu.be
I hope somebody can help me. If you need additional info which I haven't provided, ask away. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!

YT is set to privet.
Keep project settings and export settings same as camera.
Try H.264 (mp4) for export instead.

No Audio after Relinking mxf Media Files - Premiere Pro CS3

Product: Premiere Pro CS3 - Version 3.2.0
Hardware: Pentium 4; 3 GHz; 1GB RAM
Hard Drives: Using 2 external 1TB Hard Drives for my film's storage and access
Clips: High Def mxf files
User Experience Level: Novice
Whenever I unplug one or both of my external hard drives - or - forget to turn them on before entering Premiere, I am required to relink my clips. After relinking, and upon entering my Project, I click "Play" in the Timeline Window to begin editing for the day - to realize: "the Audio Is Silent."
To experiment on how I can get the audio to work:
1)I've clicked on an individual mxf clip file in the Project Window
2)Clicked Media Offline in the Project menu drop down list
3)Copied and pasted the Offline Media mxf clip file to a new folder in the same project
4)Clicked on the Offline Media mxf clip file in the new folder
5)Clicked on Link Media in the Project menu
6)Dragged the Linked File into a new sequence
7)Clicked Play and Still No Audio
8)Additionally tried to play the clip in the Source Monitor, Still no Audio
A friend suggested something about offline editing - copying the file somewhere else and relinking but I'm not sure of the process now apart from what I enumerated above.
Would any of you Premiere Pro geniuses be willing to help a wannabe Premiere Pro user? I'm not giving up and appreciate any advice you could give me! Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely, susan
