Problem with screen size in Premiere Pro CS5?

I'm making a movie in Premiere Pro CS5 and I've ran into a problem with the screen size. The source screen shows my footage in widescreen (16:9) but my project screen is playing the widescreen footage in standard size (4:3) so it is cutting off some of the footage from the screen. I would like to make my entire project standard size so how do I do that? (Most of the chopped off footage was adjusted in After Effects so does that have anything to do with it?)
Thanks for any help you can give!

The properties of the footage are:
872 x 486
00;00;25;00, 29.97 fps
48000 Hz - 32-bit Float - Stereo
The properties of the sequence are:
Editing Mode: DV NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 frames/second
Video:
Frame Size: 720 horizontal 480 vertical 4:3
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)
Fields: Lower Field First
Display Format: 30fps Drop-frame Timecode
Audio:
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Display Format: Audio Samples
Video Previews:
Preview File Format: NTSC DV
Codec: DV NTSC
Width: 720
Height: 480
I'm also quite a beginner at Premiere Pro and basically all the Adobe programs, so are there any good websites (preferably free) that give good help and information for beginners like me?
Thanks!

Problems with time lapse in Premiere Pro cs5.5

About a month ago I tried to make a time lapse with my Canon 7D.
I imported the pictures to Lightroom and exported them as JPG. Than in Premiere Pro I clicked on import, selected the first image and checked the "numbered stills" box. It all worked as it should.
Yesterday I tried to do this again. The only different thing is the cameras but I don't think that's the problem (it's the 5D mk2).
When I import the photos as numbered stills in premiere pro it and drop it in the sequence all seems ok. When I move the slider in the sequence forward and backward it also seemed ok at first but now it shows no pictures but only a black screen with some noise (like tv noise). If I export it there is no movie, just black screen with noise.
Where seems to be the problem?
When I drop it into the sequence I can also change the scale of the image to fit the screen and that all seems ok... :/
I can even play a preview inside the premiere pro and it's almost ok (it's not a smooth playback, but it plays as it should...tough it drops some frames).

Welcome to the forum.
When Still Images show as black, the first things that I investigate is the pixel x pixel dimensions of the images. With many Stills, even if they are within the allowed pixel x pixel range, one's computer's resources can be used up, and an alternate workflow might be useful - Scale the Images to match the Frame Size of the Sequence, prior to Import, in a program, like Photoshop. This ARTICLE might be helpful.
The second thought is that the video driver is no longer performing properly, and needs to be updated. What is make/model of your graphics card, and what is the current number/date of your installed video driver?

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition

Problem mit After Effects und Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hallo Liebe Adobe Community, ich bin neu hier. Derzeit habe ich folgendes Problem:
Dieses taucht auf, wenn ich entweder Adobe After Effects oder Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 starte. Die beiden Produkte habe ich gestern als Testversion auf Adobe.de heruntergeladen. Ich habe diese auch wirklich nur als Testversion Installiert!. Am anfang ging es auch, sobald ich aber meinen Pc gestern neu gestartet hatte kam dieser Fehler. Als erstes habe ich alle Daten von beiden Programmen enternt, vohher aber Deinstalliert. Danach wieder neu Installiert, Pc wieder runter und hoch das selbe Problem. Danach habe ich es auf meine 2. Festplatte Installiert, genau der gleiche fehler!.
Ich bitte um eure Hilfe, da ich diese beiden Produkte gerne Testen möchte!
Falls es wichtig ist:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
8GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 570gtx mit 1,25gb
1x 1TB Festplatte
1x 2TB Festplatte
Danke für eure hilfe.
Falls es hier nicht klappt, bitte via Skype: mkowsl89

LetsPlayNeromo!

Danke, aber das hatt es nicht gebracht. Kommt immer noch. Das witzige ist, nachdem Windows hochgefahren ist, sind die 2 Produkte nicht mehr komplett Installiert.. es fehlen Daten. Bei Photoshop ist das nicht so, nur bei diesen. Das seh ich wenn ich auf: Computer-> Deinstallieren und Entfernen gehe. Alle Symbole und Größen der Programme stimmen, bis auf die oben genannten Programme...

Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

I try to post in English.
I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
Thanks for answers

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

What is the problem with Adobe Creative Cloud Premiere Pro CC 2014, why it freezes often?

I Purchased the Adobe Creative Productive Premium Suite CS5 in early 2010 and I was very satisfied with it all this time, I can say that I never had a problem while using any of the Production Premium applications. Few weeks ago, I asked Mr. Philip Bloom about a technical issue regarding the best method to use a 50 FPS clip with a 23.976 FPS project, and I got his kind help but he recommended me too that I should upgrade to the latest Adobe Cloud CC 2014 which has many new features added to the different programs. I took his kind advice and downloaded a trial version of all the Adobe Cloud CC programs which I use for my filmmaking business.
Today is the 20th day of my trial period and I have 10 days left to take the decision of continuing with CC 2014 or not. The past 20 trial days were not very pleasant. I want you to share with me the following details which I'll list them as bullet points and I would appreciate diagnosing the problem if you can and suggest a solution for it to re-try the Adobe Cloud CC 2014 for the 10 remaining days with no further problems.
I used to have the Gigabyte graphics card GTX 470 for about 4 years and it malfunctioned last year and I replaced it with a humble Geoforce GT 610 card, but it worked fine with the Adobe Suite CS5 programs.
My system configuration is Intel Core I7 950@ 3.07GHz , installed memory 12 GB. , Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit Service pack 1, 3 hard drives 1TB. each (one of them is dedicated for Adobe asset files and the editing work)
For the first 2 or 3 days I used mainly the Premiere Pro CC 2014 establishing short projects for a max. of 5 minutes each and it was working normal. But, later, as soon as I started to build a project which reached about 24 minutes of length and I began to edit those before I add more clips to the timeline, unfortunately, the PrPro CC 2014 started to freeze on any of the frames every time I try to edit normally as I used to do with the CS5, so, I had to wait for 2 or 3 minutes every time it freezes, then it works for seconds then freezes again!! and during the 20 days mentioned above it crashed once.
The movie files of my project are the Nikon's .Mov files and the editing work which I performed included effects such as Color correction (levels) color correction (fast) color correction (Auto) sharpen effect, and stabilizing effect.
I installed the Magic Bullets Suite trial version, and the Neat Video trial version, aiming to purchase either the DeNoiser or the Neat Video (but I tried their effects without saving them to the project).
I used to export parts/ or whole project before finalizing the editing process to be able to monitor on a TV screen (mp4 file format) some of the changes I made in PrPro before being freezed.
Based on my previous 5 years experience using the CS5 Suite I have a strong trust in Adobe, I never thought the problem was in the PrPro application, but rationally I thought it was the graphic card (GT610), and accordingly I purchased yesterday a new Zotac Geoforce GTX 770 (listed by Adobe as an approved card) and I installed it and checked that it is running fine and I checked the processor temperature which was within the normal level.
Only today, I began to think that it might be something wrong with the Adobe Cloud CC 2014 ( a bug or something) and as a result of searching on the internet I could see lot of users since 2014 who were having freezes and crashes with the CC and the CC 2014 versions. That was a shock for me, could it be that until Feb. 2015 the same severe problem still occurs???
Sorry for any inconvenience, looking forward to seeing a solution for that serious problem.

Still image sizes in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I've been looking for quite a while on Adobe's help pages, these forums, and also the PDF manual, but can't find the info I'm looking for.
I'm moving from Final Cut Studio to the Adobe suite of video production for various reasons. I've purchased (though not yet received) the Production Premium upgrade. I have a new project I'm starting, and want to correctly size my images for Premiere Pro. For instance, Final Cut Studio has this handy chart:
The video sequence frame size
If you are using this format                               is                    Use graphics with this frame size
CCIR 601 NTSC 4:3                                  720 x 486                             720 x 547
CCIR 601 NTSC 16:9 anamorphic               720 x 486                             853 x 486
DV NTSC 4:3                                            720 x 480                             720 x 540
DV NTSC 16:9 anamorphic                        720 x 480                              853 x 480
CCIR 601/DV PAL 4:3                               720 x 576                              768 x 576
CCIR 601/DV PAL 16:9 anamorphic            720 x 576                             1024 x 576
720p HD                                                  1280 x 720                            1280 x 720
1080i or 1080p HD                                   1920 x 1080                          1920 x 1080
So for a standard 4:3 DV NTSC video, I make my still images 720 x 540 pixels. 16:9 anamorphic, 853 x 480.
For whatever reason, this type of information is completely missing in the manuals for CS5.5. I did however find this information related to Premiere Pro 4:
4:3 DV (NTSC) or ATSC SD—create and save the square-pixel file at 720x534.
4:3 D1 (NTSC)—create and save the square-pixel file at 720x534.
4:3 DV or D1 (PAL)—create and save the file at 788x576.
16:9 DV (NTSC)—create and save the file at 864x480.
16:9 D1 (NTSC)—create and save the file at 872x486.
16:9 DV or D1 (PAL)—create and save the file at 1050x576.
16:9 1080i HD—create and save the file at 1920x1080.
16:9 720p HD—create and save the file at 1280x720.
So did this apply to CS5.5 as well? Meaning if I'm creating a standard 4:3 DV NTSC video, my still images should be 720 x 534, and 16:9 anamorphic 864 x 480? Not quite sure what the distinction is between DV and D1, other than the anamorphic sizes are different.
I also know these are different from Final Cut Studio. In Apple's manuals, they come right out and say the pixel sizes FCS uses for stills are different from most video editing software. So I'm not surprised to see 720 x 534 for for 4:3 NTSC in Premiere Pro rather than Apple's size of 720 x 540.
Thanks.

The list is valid if you save the file in square pixels.
However, I believe there is an easier way if one has
Photoshop.
In Photosohop, you can change the image pixel
aspect ratio directly. The drop down for that parameter lists common video formats.
Change the PAR first (e.g., 1.33) and then, using the crop tool set for the frame dimensions, e.g., 1440 x 1080. Save the file. Premiere will recognize the image format. There's no reason to keep track of what the square pixel frame size is.
You can create Photoshop Actions to somewaht automate this process.

Problems with animated gifs in Premiere Pro

Hi everyone,
I need some help with my video project - I made some animated gifs that I want to add to the end credits. Importing them etc. works just fine, but in the video, the images always show up with a white background (white "box" around the animted figure), although the gifs definitely have a transparent background to start with. If I import them e.g. as png stills, they are transparent.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is that a Premiere thing&do I have to re-create the animations inside Premiere?
I couldn't find anything on this in the forum and I am grateful for any help/suggestions!
Thanks&have a great weekend!
Patrick

I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

I'm having a similar issue. When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render. Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing. I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it. Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

Need Help Fast Re: Problems with capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I am working on a project with a deadline. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My camera is a Sony Digital Video Recorder DCR-HC26. My computer is a Dell with OS of Windows Vista. I have been capturing numerous clips from hundreds of mini digital video cassettes. Yesterday, I attempted to capture from a Radio Shack Mini DV Metal Evaporated mini DV digital videocassette. For whatever reason it will not capture. I have never used one of these tapes before. Could it be the tape? After I click on "Capture," the screen shows NO PICTURE of sound, however, it plays on the camera. It can't be the camera settings because all the other tapes work. . . Any advice?

you need to post in the correct forum olivia.

Problems with .aaf import in premiere pro cc

Hi,
So I'm having problems with importing an aaf file into premiere. The weird thing is it was working about a week and a bit ago, then stopped. I can't work out why, to my knowledge nothing has changed but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be massively appreciated.
I'm using premiere pro cc and avid media composer. I'm trying to export from avid and import into premiere. I'm creating an .aaf file in avid and trying to import into premiere. When I press import, the progress bar comes up and gets stuck instantly. I can close the aaf import window, but then it leaves the import files progress bar still up and premiere stops responding completely.
At first it worked fine, within premiere I can still use the aaf files already imported, I just can't import more (I can't even import the files I had previously done successfully). I just can't work out why?
Any help would be massively appreciated,
Thanks,
Jack

Problems with Mac Mini and Premiere Pro CC 2014

I am new to video editing with a background in graphic design and typically do short corporate videos.
I am currently using a Mac Mini (late 2012 model), running Mavericks 10.9.5. And I keep having a problem with Premiere Pro CC 2014 freezing in the program monitor, while scrubbing through the timeline.
Here are my specs:
Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Quad Core i7
Memory: 16 GB
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024MB
I am also using a 2TB Fantom G-Force Megadisk external HD to store all my media. It is connected via a Firewire 800 cable
I'm wondering if the freezing is caused by Mac Mini having a integrated graphics card vs. a discreet one. Has anyone else had any problems like this using a Mac Mini?

Screen size and Premiere Pro

So, I use to use Premiere Pro when I worked mostly from a desk top. I switch to PE when I got a laptop. Well, I am thinking of getting PPro again. My laptop has enough RAM and processor speed and all that - BUT it has a 13.5 inch screen. (I travel alot and need/prefer a small laptop).
Here is the question. If I go back to PPro am I going to go nuts trying to use it on such a small screen? PE works pretty well on the laptop, it's not too squished together. But PPro has so many more features and windows.
Anyone have any experience editing with PPro on a 13.5in screen (resolution 1366x768)? I could use some of the xtra features of PPro but if it is too difficult to work with on my screen I just as well stay with PE. (FYI: I contacted Adobe and they said PPro will work fine on my laptop... just condenced into a small space.)
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

>resolution 1366x768
If PPro will work at all, some of the screen will not display

Help with importing images in Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi all... I'm working on a widescreen ntsc project that mixes video footage with power point slides, which have been exported to BMP, JPEG, PNG and TIFF... when I look at the images in an external image viewer, they look great... when I import them and drag them in the timeline in Premiere Pro, they look terrible. The text looks bad.
Since the dimensions of the power point slides are 960x720, I have used the scaler in Premier, and I've also resized them in an external graphics program to about 720x480, but to no avail.
The vexing thing is, I gave a sample full sized slide and footage to a colleague, and he just dragged the slide into the timeline, resized it to the right size and the text is crystal clear.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Matt

check your paused and/or playback resolution settings...
I've found TIFF to be the cleanest output from PPT for inclusion in video, and I've also found that the scale to frame size command usually works pretty well within Premiere. However, Photoshop's scaler uses much better algorithms and will give you a much better result. You can do a batch process on all your files and automatically create smaller versions of them if you'd like. Alternatively, you can open PPT and customize the size of your PPT slide, which should scale everything to fit your new size. Then you'll have native 720x480 TIFFs on export from PPT.

Capture problem with trial SW (CS4 Premiere Pro / Canon DM-MV1E,OPTURA in USA)

Hi,
I have used this camera earlier with older premiere 6.5 with Canopus DVRaptor-RT firewire. Those files I can not use with CS4 Premiere because Canopus is using their own codec?
Now I try with CS4 Premiere Pro with motherboard firewire (Asus P5AD2-E Premium).
Timeline is running in capture window during capture but there is no video and no audio (and no file....). During capture "Capture duration" is 0. When I stop capture there is text "Recorder captures no frames".
Device control works ok (atleast Rew, Play, Stop, FF).
Yes I know my camera is old...... Is it so that this camera don't work anymore with this SW?
Asko

I am having a similar issue with trial ver. PPR CS4 but with a Panasonic AG DV2000.
Where did you find the MV1 setting or was that something to do with your cannon settings?
I have the trial ver. loaded on a windows 7 64 box.
I get message to reset my VTR.
No video in capture window.
I currently use the same VTR with Premiere 6 with no issue.
Any ideas ?
