Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?
I am looking for a program that I can:
Import files that were recorded on a DVR (mp4 format)
Take two files placed next to each other on one screen and record a DVD
| | | |
| | | |
| image one | | image two |
| | | |
|______________| |_______________|
Also export the files to other file formats, AVi, MOV

Dave,
Premiere can do a PiP, Picture in Picture (basically, your PiP is one half of the frame), BUT your MP4 source is not the best to edit, especially with PP. If you had DV-AVI files, Captured in PP from a miniDV (tape) vid-cam, it would do a great job, but so would its little brother Premiere Elements, which wants the same source files as PP.
I have not used Womble, that Jeff recommends, but think that it has PiP. Ideally, you want to keep any re-compression down to a minimum, as you are already working with compressed MPEG files, and every additional re-compression WILL cause image degredation. Depending on the CODEC used to create your MP4 files, you have probably lost a lot of info already, and when you go to MPEG-2 (DV CODEC), for DVD, you'll loose even more. About the only way that I see you keeping any quality is if your MP4's are coded for Blu-Ray, and you can find a program with Smart Render, leaving them just as they are, allowing you to edit, then burning to a BD. Lot of "if's" in that.
I'd check out Womble and see if it can do PiP and if it works with MP4. If Jeff recommended it, it's very likely to do that. Juat expect a major quality hit, because you're already compressed the heck out of the image data once, and will have to do it again.
You could convert your MP4's to DV-AVI with a 3rd party program, Import them into PP, or PE, edit and then burn to DVD - with Encore in PP, or directly from PE. See above for comments on quality hit. It's those source files that are the problem. That format is meant for distribution/viewing and not for editing. The effect, however, is easy as can be. There are many tutorials on how to do it with variations, on the Web, but nearly all NLE programs want better source material to start, if any quality is to be maintained.
I'd also post on the Premiere Elements forum, as a lot of people there work with less than ideal source files, and might know of good free, or cheap, conversion programs to use. If you have the CODEC on your machine, DigitalMedia Converter can handle the conversion for you, and do it in batch. It's cheap at ~ US$45, and can batch process, but it cannot improve the quality, or get back the data lost in the first compression - nothing can.
If this is all you want to do, with the above comments on conversion first taken seriously, Premiere Elements will cost about US$100 and do it easily.
Sorry for the bad news,
Hunt

Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

Hi all,
I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
Roughly, the answer is:
Quicktime container
Video codec: H.264
Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
Audio codec: AAC
Output channels: Stereo
Frequency: 48kHz
Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
Bitrate: 8000
Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.

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

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.

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:
http://www.derektoigo.com/assets/screenshots/premiereexport1.png

Hopefully those will be enough to give you a detailed view of exactly what the problem is.
Any help with how to work around this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.

Best exporting settings for Youtube?

I have finished my movie and I don't know which settings would be best for uploading into YouTube as HD.
The video in my movie is shot in AVCHD 1920 x1080.
I tried looking up on YouTube for documents (and on user-made videos) the best settings to choose, but whatever information I find is either incorrect or outdated.
Can you help me?
- Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4

"MP4 is H.264. Now, there are many H.264 CODEC's. Many have had better results for Lead's, or MainConcept's, over Apple's. Which one do you have instaled.
Also, YouTube changes the "rules" quite often. One needs to check with them. Also, as Curt points out, it takes them a bit to encode to their settings du jour.
Good luck,
Hunt"
You're right, I looked at something else and that confused me and probably confused you (the helpers) even more, so sorry!
Which one do you have instaled.
- I'm not sure what you're asking, but I don't think it matters anymore.
Also, YouTube changes the "rules" quite often. One needs to check with them. Also, as Curt points out, it takes them a bit to encode to their settings du jour.
- Yes YouTube changes their rules often, but I can't find YouTube's properly organized specifications and that is why I'm having even more trouble, but thank you so much.
You really do need a lot of help Ryan!
You should have edited your project by matching what you shot with a matching preset.
What you have done ...
I did match the preset, what I meant was when I'm exporting it THEN I changed it...
The Youtube encode preset as advised is correct. You will find it in the H264 encode options.
You will need to fix your timeline first.
I think you got confused by my diction, but you still helped me so THANK YOU! :]
You are making it too hard.
You are starting with HD Widescreen video. I assume you are editing it in an AVCHD sequence to match.
So; export using ame; choose X.264 as the format and "Youtube widescreen hd" as the preset. Thats it. Dont mess with anything else.
Simple and clear, thank you.
Should I change the width x height, or keep it as 1280 x 720 (which is the preset under H.264 - Youtube Widescreen HD)?

Premiere Pro CS3 - Need Exporting HELP...!

I have read through the help and some threads but I would like to ask if someone can break it down into very plain english for me regarding exporting movies / videos for use on the web...
What i am trying to to is create a simple slideshow that i can put on my website. I do not want any type of borders or control panel to be visible. I just want it to run like a banner ad so i think an animated gif would be the best choice (any tips on that would be apprecieated too).
I have a collection of images in a folder i want to add and they taken with a 16:9 ratio and a size of 3648 pix x 2056 pix.
I have tried all combinations of settings and such but it always comes out fuzzy or doesn't fit well and if i get it looking pretty clear I still always have solid black edges on the left/right...
- Is there a size i need to be re-sizing the pics down to before i input them into Premiere Pro...???
- How can i set things up so the pics will fit right and will also be clear...?
- I want the final slideshow to be around 525 pix wide so is that what i set the output frame width to???
- With an output frame width of around 525 pix what should the height be...???
- Anything else i need to know...???
BTW i am creating a DV - NTSC Widescreen 48kHz project at the start....
I would be so grateful if someone could break it down for me because it is driving me nuts.,...
Thanks again...

well.. I think you might go to the dreamweaver forum about website building and inquire there about showing still images at timed intervals on your webpage. you dont need flash or any sort of video file to do that. This forum generally helps with video editing and not really website stuff.
you might need to use some javascript to do what you want with the images...
basically you want to use whatever code that works on the most browsers ( theres ways to detect the browser used and deliver what is then needed ). for mobile devices ( smartphones etc ) you'd probably be best off not using any flash and I see no need for video at all.. can just use images.
the dreamweaver forums will have lots of info about that for you and sample code etc.
if you go to this site and look at the source code is gives some idea re: code to cycle thru those images you see.
http://myloupe.com/
your images would be more like at top of page ( banner ) and probably smaller in size..
you can tell from source code that dreamweaver was used to build the site and delivers the images from the server via js code and css styles and so on.. the forum will help you get source code you need.
good luck
ps.. keep your images small in byte count.. 72 dpi and probably png format.. so they load fast ...can use photoshop to crop and size etc so that all images are exactly the same size and fit into the cell exactly ...so your page content doesnt shift around ( you'll use a table / cell structure to lock your page elements in place...) have fun !

Best HD export settings for YouTube

I am looking for some info on what export settings to use for YouTube with HD video. I want to export everything in 1080 (not 720) so I can also upload to Vimeo. Can someone please explain (or link) to me how I should export.
This is my first time using HD video, I shoot in 24fps onto HDV tapes.
I am not sure what else I need to know (or do) to export in the best quality.
THank you in advance!

Any other input for this topic?
I have been searching around for the past week for a solid export setting.
I've tried the above settings but I have yet to see the final product because it takes FOREVER to export (the estimated time just keeps going up and up, never down).
I found a setting a few weeks ago and used it but I cannot find it again. It did not take too long to export and the final product looked amazing both in Quicktime and on YouTube/Vimeo.
Anyone that would like to share their settings for an upload to YouTube/Vimeo, please do, I am in need.
Thanks!

FCE Export Settings for Youtube - SD and HD footage

I made a 7 minute video in FCE that combines photos and video shot in both SD and HD. I would like to upload this video to youtube, and I believe it needs to be exported to Quicktime movie first before I can upload it to youtube. I have researched this issue and tried many different export options, and the closest I have gotten still results in some black spots showing up during playback in quicktime. Can someone provide standard advice on the best settings for exporting from FCE in this situation?
I have FCE v. 4.0.1, QT v.7.6.9, and my movies were little movies shot from my Sony Cybershot camera and my Nikon D90 (some in SD and some in HD - by accident). Still pictures are included in the movie from both of these cameras as well.
Thank you for your help!

The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
Is that too big?

Aspect Ratio in Premiere Pro CS3

I have imported a Quicktime movie (a desktop recording of a software created using SnapZ Pro) which was recorded in SnapZ Pro with frame dimensions of 720 x 480 pixels. When I import this quicktime movie file into my Premiere Pro CS3 project, the settings for which is a frame size of 720 x 480, it looks distorted in both the source and program windows. If both the imported file, and the project settings match dimensions, shouldn't the imported file view properly?
Any help appreciated.

Maybe the SnapZ Pro captured video has a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 1 instead of 0.9 which it would be for standard NTSC DV.
The solution depends on what you are planning to do with your movie:
If it only has to play on a computer you could import the footage in a custom project (Desktop) where you would set the PAR to 1.
If you plan to output to DV tape or burn a DVD you could resize the video to 640x480 inside a 720x480 frame. That would leave black "pillars" on both sides.
Or you could re-capture at 720x480 with a 0.9 PAR (if SnapZ Pro offers that option). Should the software lack a PAR setting you could instead capture at 720x534.

If you have premiere pro CS3, do still need to buy Encore CS3 to use all its feature?

I have purchased and installed premiere pro CS3 on my computer and according to the documentation that came with it, it says that Encore CS3 is include with premiere pro CS3, does it mean that I dont need to purchase Encore CS3 as a standalone software, and be able to use all Encore CS3 feature inside premiere pro CS3.

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.

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:

Premiere Pro CS3 crashing on export

I have been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a while and I assure you I have NEVER touched any export settings, but now it is suddenly crashing on export.
There is no error message or anything, the program just turns off.
A friend suggested I change the settings to uncompressed.
The program was set to "Microsoft AVI" by default, so I changed it to "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI". Now it exports without crashing, but if I play the video in Quicktime, there is no video or sound, and if I play it in media player, there is sound, but no video.

CS3 - What Are the Best Export Settings for Animation?

I have edited a project in Premiere Pro CS3. It is animated, and I want to preserve as much of the quality of the animation as I can.
What are the best possible settings that I can use to export the video to a .MOV file?
A little background info, in case it helps:
The animations were created in After Effects, and the .MOV files were made with the Animation codec.
After editing in Premiere, I exported the finished file to the Animation codec. It looks so-so.
Important: I imported the Premiere Project into After Effects, and exported the project with After Effects. The After Effects Quicktime file looks better than the Premiere version of the Quicktime file. (And has a higher data rate, in case that matters.)
What kind of settings do I need to select in Premiere when I export the video to make the .MOV file look as good as it can?
(And please don't be afraid to dumb it down.)
Thx!

Try an Uncompressed "QT" file. (Component YUV - 10-bit)
BTW: Did your PPRO Settings match the AEFX Comp you exported from?
