Premiere Pro CS5 Project & Sequence Settings

I will be shooting with a Sony NEX-VG10 set at a Record Mode of FH 17M (which I have no clue what it is)
The camera records 1920 x 1080 Full HD videos (I don't know if its 1920x1080i or p) (The user guide that came with the camara doesn't explain much of anything)
The memory card that I will use to record the clips is a 32GB SDHC
I want to know the settings that I should choose to edit the clips in Premiere Pro CS5.
1) Project Settings asks me to select between DV and HDV. Is HDV the right one?
2) Sequence Settings is getting me more confused than I am already:
     In previous projects (with a different camera) I have chosen DV NTSC as I had set the Project as DV but also because of the NTSC
     In the Sequence Settings if I go along with HDV it doesn't give me the NTSC option but it lists several 1080i and 1080p options.
     Which one should I choose?
Finally, when I am all done I will burn an HD DVD with Encore.
I am assuming that using the same edited video I could also burn an SD DVD: is that possible?
The whole project will probably turn a 45 min. video.
Thanks for your help.

Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly.
When creating a new project I have to specify location, name, etc... PLUS I also have to indicate the capture format
No, you don't. You can hit cancel. If you've shot on media cards, you have no need to Capture.
Secondly, comes the Sequence Settings where there are a bunch of available presets listed such AVCHD, DV-24P, DV-NTSC, DV-PAL and so on... also HDV.... and within each one there are further options for example under HDV: 1080i 25, 1080i 30, 1080p etc....
Which one is the one I should choose?
That's already been explained in this thread. And it's also covered thoroughly in the Pr Help documentation.
If understand correctly you are suggesting that I forget this screen and just add my clips and create New Sequence from Clip. This you say will automatically attach to it the proper preset. Pardon my ignorance but I can't figure out how it will work. Will I have a new sequence for each clip?
Right. Have you even tried it yet? You can select a bunch of clips, and drag them to the New Sequence icon also. They'll all be added to a new Sequence based on the source clip's settings.
Finally, when I mentioned I will burn an HD DVD I meant: a High Definition DVD and also was considering burning a Standard Definition DVD and was asking if it would be possible.
You're using incorrect terminology. There is no HD DVD. There is DVD, and there is Blu-Ray. The different formats have different names.

Premiere Pro CC, Project / sequence settings help with GoPro 1080p / 60fps

Hi all,
I have just started using Premiere Pro CC with the GoPro Hero3+ black edition, but my video's, once exported do not look very smooth and clean like HD video should?
The video settings on the GoPro are 1080p / 60fps, narrow view (protune off), I then import these .MP4 video files into PP CC and use these sequence settings:
29.97fps
1920 x 1080 / 16:9
Square pixels (1.0)
No fields (progressive scan)
30 fps drop-frame timecode
Preview file format: I-Frame only MPEG
Maximum bit depth
So, my question is, should my sequence settings be at 60fps to match the 60fps I used to capture the video with? How should I edit 1080p / 60fps video in order to get nice clean, smooth HD video playback on youtube?
My export settings are:
H.264
1920 x 1080
29.94
Progressive
Square pixels (1.0)
NTSC
Profile: Main
Level: 5.1
Render at maximum depth
VBR, 2 pass
Target Mbps: 40
Max Mbps: 50
Keyframe distance box checked and says: 90
Use maximum render quality
Here is the video I uploaded to youtube: Deal Tri Summer Duathlon May 2014 - YouTube
What do you think?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Paul

No problem. When you click sequence > sequence settings, what does your editing mode say? I use AVCHD 1080p square pixel. You can change this to 'custom' which will give you more control over the settings if you need to, but if you use the method I described earlier then you shouldn't need to change anything. Maybe if some of your videos are 2.7k or 4k resolution mixed with 1080p videos then you could play with the settings.
Just remember that if you start a new project and have for example, four videos shot at 1080p and one at 4k, if you drag and drop the 4k video to the 'new item' bin then your sequence will match the 4k resolution settings and when you drag the other 1080p videos on the sequence time line, they will not fill the screen and would need to be 'scaled' in to fit the screen, thus making them look terrible. The best way would be to drag n drop the 1080p video(s) and then include the 4k video on the timeline and just 'scale' / 'crop' it to fit the screen.
All the best!

Errors in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 project!

Hello, when I open up my Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 project, I see that my project has errors in it because of the little red X in the bottom right hand corner.
So i click on it and it pops up with a window that has a list of errors in it. Unfortunately, I dont know what they mean.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Here is a screen shot:

Can you please give us info on the Assets in this Project? What is their format/CODEC, and their location on your system?

Exporting AE animated signature to Premiere Pro CS5 project

Hi everyone, I created a wonderful animated signature in After Effects CS5 and within Premiere Pro CS5 I imported the AE composition and added it to my initial video, but unfortunately while the animation works fine, the signature has a white rectangular back ground which I failed to make it transparent to show the animated signature only over the video. I would appreciate very much helping me to do that task. Thank you in advance. You are great.

Thank you Rick for your kind prompt response, I appreciate your time. I usually solve all the technical problems I face through my classroom in a book series, or by watching experts videos
but this one I couldn't figure out correctly anywhere, sorry about that. The steps I followed are as follows:
1) I scanned a handwritten signature and I saved as a TIF image
2) I imported the above mentioned image in Adobe After Effects
3) I used the pen tool to mask the signature
4) I created a white solid composition
5) I copied the masks to the White solid composition.
6) I copied the white solid masks to a new video composition with same size of my Premiere pro project 1920x1080 and I started to amend the brush size, hardness...etc under stroke
7) I made the end of the stroke feature to be 0% at the start
8) After 3 sec. I made the end comes back to 100%
9) I checked the animation of the signature and it was great, I made the length of the composition becomes 20 sec in length to match the handwriting natural speed
10) I resized the composition to show a size of my signature which does not exceed a 10% of the quarter of the right corner of my video I opened the Premiere Pro and imported the compostion
11) The composition showed an animated signature in Premiere Pro but with a white background which I failed to make it transparent.
Thank you once more.

Premiere Pro CS6 switching sequence settings from previously edited video clips

When importing my video clips into Premiere Pro, which are currently set at 1920 x 1080 both from the video clip and sequence settings, it switches to 720 x 480 (says file has mismatch - keep or change settings, I've done both results the same) when I export and when I put clip on timeline it switches it to 1440 x 1020. The video clips were done on a earlier version of Premiere Pro at another facility, where we put the audio and video together to make a complete video clip We shot the footage using a Canon DSLR at 24 ups and are MOV files, done on a Mac
If anyone else has had this problem and found a solution, plese pass on.
Carl A.

Take your imported footage and create the sequence by dropping one of the video files on to the "New Item" button.
If your footage is actually showing in the project panel as 1920X1080, the sequence that will be created will match that. Guaranteed.

Problem with Premiere Pro CS5 project files bloating

Has anyone had the same problem that we're experiencing? - we have Production Premium CS5 installed on a machine with Win 7 Pro x64. We have three separate edits all of which are experiencing bloating of the .prproj project file. Often this bloating seems to occur when no importing of assets has occured, just changes in the edits. A project which started at 5mb has bloated to 1.5GB and we can no longer save it. Another project has bloated to 200mb and continues to grow in size. We have not brought in any weird assets, although we are using hi-def footage.
We upgrade from CS3 and never had this problem using Premiere CS3.
We can't fix the problem by 'remove unused footage' as this doesn't reduce the project size, although it does remove the unused footage.
We can't fix it by importing the project into a new clean project as the problem and huge file size just comes with
We can't fix it by using the project manager to collect up the project as it requires to save before collecting and the problem files can't be saved.
A couple of points to note - these projects were originally on Premiere CS3 and were upgraded to CS5. The footage is either Sony EX3 or Canon 5D - both HD.
The machine it's running on has 8gb of RAM.
Currently the projects I'm working on are gradually grinding to a hold with no way to make the files usable again.
Any suggestions are greatfully recieved as I'm at a loss. I've reported this to Adobe, and will report back if I get anything useful.
thanks.

TClark,
I'm shocked that you are having the same problem on a mac. This seems to suggest a problem that could be really widespread. You've also beaten my 1.5GB file bloat size.
What the hell is going on with Premiere Pro? I'm surprised to have heard nothing from Adobe either via my support request or on this forum, save for Jeremys useful work around, considering how serious an issue this is.
I've had to break all the projects I'm working on which have multiple timelines in each project into a new seperate project per timeline in order to reduce the file bloat problem and reduce the risk of me loosing all my work in one go on a bloated file.
Adobe - we could do with some help here. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on licences for this software only to have virtually non-existant help when a serious flaw in the software manifests itself.

Yeah...it's really a bummer that no one is acknowledging it. It's pretty serious!
I hope Dennis jumps in soon!

Premiere Pro CS5 project sudenly extremely slow on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I've been using Adobe CS5 for a little over two years. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro.
I am working on a freelance project for a big client. In the last 48 hours or so the processing speed of the project has been getting slower and slower. The rest of my computer's processing is fine, it is only when I try to do anything in Premiere in this one specific project. It is now to the point where I can't really do anything in the project.... If I try to make an edit (for example, trimming a clip, adding a cross dissolve, changing the scale of a clip, etc.), what should take less than 1 second to process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes. This is obviously highly abnormal.
I can't figure out why it is doing this. I have some pretty big files in the project, but I doubt it making it slow down this much.
Help anyone??

2.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor
16gb RAM (upgraded from 8gb)
Intel HD Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
It wasn't exactly going smooth on the 2011 one, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the one I have now.
I don't know if this is relevant, but video games run much better on the new one.
Also I cant select GPU under ray-tracing in the AE preferences > Previews > GPU Information. It says 'GPU not available - incompatible device or CUDA driver'. I've installed the CUDA driver, but I suppose it's worthless since I don't have an NVidia graphics card?
I don't know too much about hardware, but I hope it helps

Import a Premiere Pro CS5 project?

Hello,
How do I import a pre project to work on the audio element of it? If I try import or open the premiere project is greyed out. If I try it in Adobe dynamic link it fails on me?!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bradley

HI Bradley
Right click on the audio track & choose edit with adobe Soundbooth render & replace...be careful with what you do though as I am unsure if that means that you are editing the source track...
I also did not have any joy with just using the pre-built remove noise button..it made my audio which is mainly talking sound a little tinny, when it was actually recorded on a good mic.
All a learnig curve I guess...

Exsternal harddrive drops out, when using adobe premiere pro cs5. Cant load projects. any one had this problem or the answer to it?

I have two WD external hard drives that i keep all my video files, music and adobe premiere pro cs5 projects on. Up until 2 days ago they were working perfect, now they drop out when i try and load my projects from them, or watch a movie from them. tried restoring from two weeks ago and nothing changed. I get that error msg when i try and load something. The error msg is the one that comes up when you disconnect a usb drive without ejecting it correct. I don't think its the drives as i only use one most the time, and the other just sits there not connected, but that are now having the same issues. Help me plaza

yea i am using the right sequence
here are 4 screen shots of 2 different things i was editing, both used to record my xbox 360 with Hauppauge, Seems adobe is the only program playing the video file with the audio out of sync/mixed up

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS5 and DVD authoring

I have a reoccuring problem with Premiere Pro and authoring DVDs. This is how it goes.
I shoot a video using a Canon 5D Mark III. 1080p 24.
I then edit in Premiere Pro CS5, with proper settings on the sequence which are the preset Digital SLR > 1080p > DSLR 1080p24.
Everything is hunky dory.
Then I have to export...and the frustration ensues...
I export using the HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality export preset with the H.264 export codec. This gives me a decent .mp4
I then bring this file into Encore and author the dvd. I used the regular dvd and the blue ray export settings as a test, but the video always ends up looking horrible with artifacts all over the place, especially on areas of high contrast. It looks like a badly compressed .jpg.
This happens at various times when exporting animation/motion graphics from After Effects also. When I use a ramp in the background, the gradient is often very banded...
When I rent a movie from the video store, the images and type look good on whatever i play the dvd on or watch it through. When I burn a dvd, it looks universally bad using all kinds of players on all kinds of monitors, projectors, etc...
Can anyone lead be in the direction of an article or video that will thoroughly explain this so i can learn it once and for all?
Thanks in advance.

Jim, lol.
Thanks everyone as usual.
So, should my composition settings for after effects be set to 24 or 23.976 and can i render them as 16 bit?
Will this reduce the banding and artifacts along with using dynamic link? Or will it ultimately be 8 bit by the time the dvd is burned and go back to the banding....?

Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

Hello Community:
I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project. I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours. I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

Same issue. I previously used NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

Premiere Pro CS5 -capture settings for canon 30f/24f?

Latley I have been using a canon xha1 for some simple work projects. I am new to the HDV workflow, and I am very thrown off by the XHA1 formats and how to properly capture them.
I have not been able to find the proper way to set up a sequence for 30f settings. Knowing that the 30f is not really progressive which settings should I use. (also what would the proper settings be for 24f?)
PP CS5 seems to have the Canon XF MPEG2 presets. as well as the standard HDV settings. Below is a screen shot of what I assume I should be capturing with.
Lets say the footage is 30f. Which of the following should I use. Or is it netiher due to the 30f being interlaced. Any help would be grealty appreciated.
(Premiere Pro CS5 on windows 7)

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Colin Brougham wrote:
You'd use the HDV 1080i30 preset for both; they're both interlaced.
That's not really true. These formats carry the flags to tell the NLE which frames to drop. It is progressive.
I use an HV40 with "f" mode all the time and Premiere reads it correctly as progressive. Even after dropping a clip on the make a new item icon.

Working on keyframes in a copied sequence changes the original sequence as well (Premiere Pro CS5.5)

Hi everyone,
maybe this is a very basic question, but the search in the forum didn't bring up any related questions, so here i go:
Let's say, i copy a sequence in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and paste it in the same project. I have some textclips with keyframes in them. (I do this, because the videos stay the same, i just write different things into them. When i change the keyframes in the copied sequence the way i need them there and then go back to the original sequence, the keyframes there were changed as well. This is not what i wanted.
My question therefore is: How can i make a copy of one sequence and then work on it without changing the original one at the same time? Why are they linked anyway? Is that just a selection in my version of Premiere Pro or is that a general thing?
Would be great, if someone could explain that to me.
thanks!

If you have not done the New Title Based on Current Title, what you have are Instances of that Title, and they are all linked to the original Title. Make a change, and it is global to all Instances. This is very useful, if for instance, you have a typo. Say that you have used the old Western moivie cliche Title "Meanwhile Bock at the Ranch," a dozen times, only to discover the typo. You only have to correct "Bock" to "Back" one time, and it corrects all Instances of that Title.
With New Title Based on Current Title, you have separate, individual, and un-linked Titles, so any change will ONLY affect the Instances of THAT Title.
While the Instances can be very useful, one can be easily confused, when a change to one Instance affects all others.
Good luck,
Hunt

PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

Dear Sir,
I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
What can i do ??
Denis.

Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

Error Importing Premiere Elements project into Premiere Pro CS5

Hi,
I am working on a multi-part video project that I started in Premiere Elements 8. I put in hours upon hours of editing on the first part and I found that the more I edited, the more often the program would crash (infuriating!). So I started using Premiere Pro CS5 to produce the second part, resolving to come back to the first part later. Well, I've come back around to needing this first part done, and it is just undoable in Elements (crashes every 20 seconds!). I'd like to import that project into CS5 if possible. The help documentation says this should be perfectly possible... but I'm having no luck.
When I attempt to open my Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro, it tells me the project must be converted from Elements .prel to Pro .prproj, and I click through the prompts as normal. But then as soon as it starts trying to open the project, I get this:
"The Project could not be loaded. It may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
I downloaded the Premiere Elements 9 trial to see if it would be less crashy (and it is), but I'd really prefer to have all my video in one program, and CS5 does the best job (and has most of my hours invested). Elements 9 opens the "damaged" project just fine and I can edit and export normally, so why can't CS5?
Am I stuck recreating the project from the ground up in CS5?

In very general terms, a contemporary PrE Project (PREL), will Open in PrPro, with the steps that you outlined.
Now, there are all sorts of considerations, for aspects that will not likely work:
Instant Movie/Themes, as PrPro cannot read those
Some Effects that PrPro does not have, like the NewBlue FX
Some Transitions that PrPro does not have
Some Title animation Presets, that PrPro does not have
Do you have any of the above in your PrE Project? There are probably other circumstances, but those are all that come immediately to my mind.
The simpler the PrE Project, the greater the likelyhood that it will Convert to a PrPro PRPROJ file.
PrE 8 and PrPro CS5 should be close enough to work, again in those general terms. I can Open simple PrE 4.0 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but cannot Open PrE 7, 8 or 9 Projects in PrPro 2.0.
Good luck,
Hunt
