Presets for Lumix G6

Just bought a Lumix G6 camera and I know I picked the wrong presents because the video keeps flashing. 
It shoots AVCHD Progressive  and AVCHD.  It also shoots MP4, but I didn't think that was as good an option.
Which preset should I use?

You need to decide what works for you.
But, please consider that a Premiere Elements (any version) project needs many considerations starting with project settings. So, you may just do a purchase of a later version, only to run into similar issues.
Please consider the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements before purchase. Adobe's tryout is the current version only. Therefore you would be looking at version 12 and an entirely different looking workspaces Expert, Expert Guided, Quick, Quick Guided in contrast to the Timeline and Sceneline workspaces of your current version 10.
Sounds like you have a good program already which can be used to give you an good end product. But, do not depend on Premiere Elements automatic project setting.
a. Verify, Edit Menu/Project Settings/General Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size etc
and then
b. As indicated, set the project preset to match the properties of your source media. Even if your version does not have a specific NTSC AVCHD AVCHD 1080p60 project preset, you can still use NTSC DSLR 1080p DSLR 1080p30 (unless you are doing frame to frame editing which I do not believe you are).  More on all that another time if interested and/or needed.
Whatever your decisions, success with your projects.

  • Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

    I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
    Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
    I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
    I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
    In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
    Thanks in advance.

    Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

    I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows:  3 Canon camcorders,
    Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
    b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
    additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception. 
    Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base.  I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen.  Is there a better option?  I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR.  I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
    Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
    (And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

    Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
    Before
    After
    It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
    And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
    (without overdoing it to get black borders again).
    After and an adjust
    Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.

  • Is there a way to create a preset for drop shadows?

    I'm setting up a template for a new brochure that will need drop shadows on every product that is being placed. Is there a way to save a preset for a drop shadow so I need not have to recreate the shadow every time? Also this is being distributed to many people to work on and effects presets would be hugely beneficial-just not sure if that is possible? Although it is Indesign, and they are usually on the up and up for this kind of thing.
    Thanks!
    FF

    The Eyedropper Tool is a quick way of applying the same drop shadow to many objects
    But as peter says object styles is a much simplier way.

  • How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

    I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
    In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
    However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
    When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
    Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
    Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
    That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
    I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
    Thanks for the help!
    FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.

  • CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

    Goal 
    To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
    Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
    Tools on Hand
    Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
    FFMpegx CODEC pack.
    CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
    So far I've been able to
    I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it.  I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc. 
    Problems I've encountered
    I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project.  For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio.  But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect.  I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too.  Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD.  I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project. 
    I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer.  I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
    Current steps I'd like to take
    I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance).  I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others.  Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
    Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize?  I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264.  the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless).  I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
    How do I choose a preset for my new project?  These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different).  Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types?  I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere?  Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset?  I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start?  Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
    Thank you for helping a newbie.  I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything.  I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
    *It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed. 

    You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
    Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
    110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
    often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
    tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
    the model 300
    Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
    need that, look at the model 55

  • "Use presets for responsive layout" not working in Chrome

    I am building a responsive website. I am going to have parts of the website animated using Edge Animate. I will make the animation and then insert it into a div in the responsive website I am building.
    The Adobe Edge animation has a width of 100%, so that it resizes according to the area that it occupies the full width of the div no matter how wide that div may be in px.
    It is all working fine, but:
    I have an image in the Edge animation that is center aligned. It must stay center aligned no matter what width the animation ends up being.
    Within Adobe Edge, in Properties, in Position and Size, there is a option where, if you hover your mouse cursor over the top right button a tool tip says "Use presets for responsive layout"
    With the image on the stage selected, I can click on the "Use presets for responsive layout" button and then choose "Centre background Image".
    It works perfectly in all browsers accept Chrome (even IE is playing ball this time). In chrome the width of the image stretches out as the div stretches out..
    The "Centre background Image" setting says that it won't scale the image. But in Chrome it does.
    What can I do to "tell" Edge Animate to center the image but not scale it in the Chrome browser?
    I can see that in the image properties it is set to Background image x axis and y axis 50%. And the width is set to pixels. But in Chrome, the image stretches.
    If you go to http://www.brainstormadvertising.co.uk/demo/services.html you will see what I mean. The circle image is centering BUT stretching in chrome browsers while centering nicely and NOT stretching in other browsers.

    Thank you for your reply Josh. But the point of this setting in Edge Animate is that you can set it up that the background image is center aligned and does not scale. Yet it produces code that gives the width as 21.72%.
    A little further along I see background-size: 48px; .  This is correct.
    So all the browers are reading background-size: 48px; as the scale measurement but Chrome is reading the width only, not the background-width. So this "Use presets for responsive layout" works in all browsers except chrome.
    I don't know how to change that code after the artwork has been published. I can see the code using Firebug, but where do I change it in my code on my computer before uploading to the server?
    I have reported this bug to Adobe.
    Please see the attachment. You can see where all the settings are made and where I am getting a problem.

  • How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

    How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
    It also helps  if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

  • Stereo preset for 3D Objects

    The stereo preset for 3d objects does not really work very well with the glasses I have. I am using the shrek glasses which I thought were blue and red, but they may be cyan and red.
    Is there a way to change the preset colors for this property or anywhere I can download other stereoscopic render settings?

    These are built-in features that cannot be edited. However, you shoulkd be able to tweak the exact spectrum of the colors with a simple adjustment.

  • Using Presets for Printing Panoramas

    I have created a generic preset for printing panoramas on an Epson 4900 connected to a Mac with OS 10.8.4. Using the Epson printer driver's Page Setup via Lightroom 5, I reset the length of the panorama for each print and then update the Lightroom preset. Everything else in the preset is correct for my prints (paper, profiles, etc.).
    I have, however, periodically had the problem that even after resetting the print length in the driver and updating the generic panorama preset, that the print is the wrong length (either too long or too short) even though all indications are that everything is set correctly (see below). This can occur even if I shutdown and restart Lightroom (I have also had this problem in LR4).
    I would like to known how to correctly set up a panorama so paper is not wasted due to an incorrect length.
    The following items appear to be set correctly:
    (1) Printer Driver Page Setup paper size
    (2) The Lightroom Preset for the generic panorama (Both the print size and paper size. I looked at the text of the preset settings via TextEdit) I note that there is binary information at the bottom of the Lightroom preset. Is that being correctly updated?
    (3) The print display in Lightroom (the image correctly fills the print template which is of the correct size)
    (4) The print cell size in Lightroom is the size I have set in the printer driver
    The different sized panorams were printed on different days and the printer was turned off between those days. Cut sheet prints were also printed in between the panorams.
    One panorama was 8 feet long but it was truncated at 39 inches twice before it printed correctly (after I restarted Lightroom but not the printer). The other was correctly printed 58 inches long but on 8 feet of paper (which was blank after the image).
    I find it hard to believe the printer is remembering an old size (even after being powered off) but if Lightroom is not sending new information, I suppose that is possible.

    Hi Venu,
    Don't know about best-practice, but you can do this by using the file adapter, using the "Run Operating System Command" to execute a print command on the file.
    The file can be formatted in a mapping program.

  • TextEdit - Save preset for Find & Replace?

    Hey, all!
    Quick question... is there any way to save a preset for a Find & Replace function in the native TextEdit app in Mac OS?  I do a routine F&R using a long "Insert Pattern" (I haven't had time to learn Regular Expressions yet in order to use another app)... I'd love to be able to just do a quick F&R on a text file instead of having to build the string every time.
    Possible?
    Thanks!
    -=R=-

    thnx Tom - yes, all the text is there, editable and I can add new text to it and save. But I can't search it using Find, trying unique words I see right there in the first few paragraphs atop the file. Then tried 'and' which only found two in the whole large file, embedded within a block of what I guess are formatting characters also bunched up at the bottom of the file below my original text.
    Oops, I just realized now that this file is not actually an RTF, its a Word 97 .doc -- which either means I converted it at some point in TextEdit, or its the original .doc file I started long ago with my ancient Microsoft Word that I used before going to Mavericks (was able to use Word in Snow Leopard but is no longer supported in Mavericks, I think its referred to as a 'PowerPC' application.) 
    What should I do? Would converting it to an RTF file help, if so how do I do that?
    thanks!
