Seeking Advice on Preset Choice in Premiere Pro 2.0, Using Creative Vado HD

Hello Adobe Premiere Forum Users,
I'm new to the forum and I wondered if you could help me. I've just got a new Pocket Camcorder, the Creative Vado HD. I wanted to see if I could edit the footage that the camera produces using the version of Premiere Pro that I have, 2.0 . I was wondering what Preset to choose when I first create the project? Those I've experimented with, even widescreen ones, chop the frame at the left and right sides. To quote a source from http://forum.videohelp.com/ ,  "The files are AVIs [Windows Media Video, according to what I can see here?] with H.264 (FourCC: H264) video and "ADPCM" audio (according to GSpot)."  I know that H.264 isn't a great format to be trying to edit from, but  unfortunately it's what the Vado HD saves in so I have to go with it."
The files are 1280x720 , 16:9 Ratio.
I'd like to be sure that I retain the widescreen ratio of the footage, without losing the sides. The Creative Vado has a wider lens than other pocket cameras. Earlier today I even tried the much simpler Windows Movie Maker, and I'm even unclear about what preset to choose in that application, so some guidance in this area would be very much appreiciated. Is it possible to edit footage from this new style of pocket cameras in Premiere Pro 2.0?
Thank you for your time,

I do not believe Pro 2.0 is capable of editing your footage.
Best is to upgrade to 5.5.

  • Upgrade to Premiere Pro CS6 from my Creative Suite 5 Production Premium

    I am trying to upgrade to Premiere Pro CS& from my Creative Suite 5 Production Premium but the Serial Number for my Creative Suite 5 Production Premium is NOT accepted as a valid Serial Number to upgrade from.

    You cannot upgrade from a suite to a single product. Also CS5 s/n is not valid for CS6.
    You need to buy Premiere CS6 first to get Premiere working.

  • How to capture HD/SD in Premiere Pro 2.0 using Sony HVR-M15U?

    I have mini dv tapes.Some are HDs and SDs. How to capture these tapes in Premiere Pro 2.0 using Sony HVR-M15U deck?
    Please help
    Mark

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for the respond.
    Yes, I tried already that way but it didn't work. The deck plays. I saw also in the monitor I connected to the deck has display. But it's not in Premiere Pro 2.0. I only saw the timecode running but it has no display. And I tried to save what I'm capturing but it says no frame captured if I not mistaken.
    Fortunately, I did captured the video by "passthrough" - I mean by using the videocamera. I connected the videocamera to INPUT ports of the deck. And the firewire connected to my PC and the deck. I played the tape of course in the videocamera and begun capturing with no problem. But I think I lost the quality of the video, did I?
    Jim, if you have some tips can you share it to me. I will appreciate it so much.
    Thanks again.

  • Title Presets missing. Premiere Pro CS6

    My title presets are missing in premiere pro, This occurs when I go to create a title and no presets are available. I have downloaded adobe encore CS6 fucntional content and Adobe Prtemire Pro CS6 Functional Content, as suggested by adobe and other forums. I just want title templates/preset to make workflow easier. I hope there is a simpel solution rather than a string of intricate procedures.

  • HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

    Hello,
    I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
    When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
    My hardware config is :
    - CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
    - RAM : 8 GB
    - Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
    RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
    I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
    The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
    So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
    Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
    My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
    Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
    Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
    I would appreciate some advice on this.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 never uses more than 15% of CPU, so, performs much slower than premiere 6.5!

    Hello.
    I'm doing wedding videos for quite a while. My hardware included DV500DVD card and premiere 6.5, CPU is Core 2 Duo E8400, 2GB of RAM, Windows XP SP1 (DV500 can't work with SP2 or SP3).
    The above mentioned system is quite old, and absolutely not usable for HD videos. So, I've decided to build another machine. The configuration is as follows:
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    M/B: Asus LGA 1155, H67 chipset.
    CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K
    RAM: 4GB DDR3
    HDD: 2x 64GB SSD, 4 x 2TB SATA (RAID) (All HDDs connected to separate PCI-E controller, so intel chipset flaw is not an issue here)
    I've recently downloaded and installed the trial version of Premiere Pro CS5, to see, how it suits to my needs. And I'm very dissapointed. I've started premiere, selected DV-widescreen preset, inserted two static pictures on timeline, and did an alpha blend between them. Then put movie to export. Not only it took way too long time to render, but it only used single core, and cpu usage is only 15% ! Just for curiosity, I've installed premiere 6.5 on same system, and it did that task about 10 times faster!
    What is this, limitation of trial version, or just Premiere Pro CS5 can't be used with this modern CPU ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    First off 4GB of ram is really to low for CS5. CS5 is 64 bit for a reason and requires far more ram. 2nd, what video card are you using?
    As for the opteron system the other poster listed, you could get the lower end Intel platform and easily out perform that opteron system. A Geforce 450GTS video card would out perform that Quadro by 2 or 3 times and that card is barely over $100.
    No offence but you can't run CS5 on minimal or very old specifications and expect the same results as everyone else or older software. If you can't upgrade the hardware then I suggest staying with the previous version until you can. The MPE engine requires allot of resources to function especially ram and your lower spec or older system will just bottleneck the pipeline rather than speed things up.

  • Premiere Pro CC not using all resources... 4k

    I just put together a new workstation machine for editing 1D-C 4k files in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
    Specs...
    i7 3770     3.4
    Gigabyte Z77 Mobo
    32gb Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 RAM
    250gb Samsung SSD
    4x 2TB Seagate 7200 HDDs in RAID 0 (Yes I know it isn't backed up, we have that part covered)
    Nvidia Quadro K4000 (3gb vram)
    Anyway, we transfered a project with all the media files to our RAID media drive.
    It opened up very quickly and loaded all the media much faster then our old workstation.
    Then I hit the spacebar (perview) and the problems started..
    It won't play back smoothly at all,
    AND it is only running the CPU at 10-20%, GPU 10-50%, ram at 25% and it is not really taxing the drives very hard either...
    Why won't PP use all the resources at 100% like I have previously seen it do on other machines?
    ** The project we are trying to play is 2 layers of 4k .MOV footage in a 1080 timeline... with sharpening, Fast color corrector, and RGB curves.
    ** It also drops every fourth frame when playing back just one layer of 4k .mov footage in a 1080 timeline with NO Effects applied. (Much smoother, but still not using all resources)
    What I am asking, is why would it be giving up so quickly? Before even taxing the resources very hard?

    I too have a recent 1D-C project I'm editing.  That 1D-C is something, yes?  Most filmic images I've ever seen from a DSLR.  But I digress. 
    I'm following a workflow closer to the one used by Philip Bloom and Shane Hurlbut.  The Motion Jpeg files will not play well at all on your system.  It's strictly a capture medium - not an editing one.
    I converted all my 1D-C files to Prores 422 at 4K size using Mpeg Streamclip.  Those files imported beautifully and edit well on my Retina Macbook Pro laptop.  I usually set playback to 1/2 quality, ps. 
    I have had problems using CUDA, so I'm sticking to software mode.  But I don't see any problem with being able to cut my film and finish on my computer.
    Also - my sequence is a 4K sequence right in Premiere.  I simply chose a clip and "made a sequence" from that.  Why scale when I don't have to?  I've exported to 1080p easily from the sequence. 
    If anyone finds this workflow less than ideal, I'm all ears.  Thanks.

  • Premiere Pro Exporting Issues using ProRes LT

    Using Premiere Pro CC and is currently up to date.  When exporting ProRes LT (1920X1080) I am getting constant glitches and purple/pink scan line across my footage.  This happens within the timeline and the export.  Raw footage is clean.  Footage shot on a Canon 5D Mark ii.  System:  Mac Pro (2013 - The trash can one), 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, 64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC, AMD FirePro D500 3072MB, OSX 10.9.3.

    HI Tswbmatt,
    It sounds like you are hitting the OS X 10.9.3 bug, corrupting exports with the Mercury Playback Engine (OpenCL). Usually, it's with H.264 exports, but I"m not surprised it affects other codecs too. I'll add that to the bug report.
    You can change the Mercury Playback Engine to "Software Only" or roll back to OS X 10.9.2 to fix it.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Premiere Pro CC only using 30% CPU and none of the GPU

    Hi,
    I’m very new to video editing (actually I have no Idea what H264, or avi or mp4 or mov is, I just need the video to work) and I have never used Premiere Pro before. Now I'm trying the CC 7.0 trial.
    My goal is to achieve the fastest rendering times possible.
    Today I have upgraded my PC for maximal performance in video editing:
    Intel i7 4930K (12threads)
    Radeon 6950 (2GB)
    16GB RAM
    SSD
    I have a recorded video of me playing a PC game in .avi 2552*1348 resolution (2560*1440 monitor without some borders).
    I have set export to H.264 and settings to match source (resolution 2552*1348, 30 FPS, Progressive, Square pixels, NTSC, main, 5.0).
    But when rendering (no effects, just cutting) the program only uses 22-45% of the entire CPU and none of the GPU.
    The best result with this stress was cca 1:1 rendering:movie length. I'm using 16GB RAM, I tried 32GB and 64GB and the stress on CPU and GPU was the same and the rendering times changed only slightly.
    I have an SSD and the read write speeds during rendering are 1-9 MB/s so there is plenty of performance left.
    Frankly, this 1:1 performance offers Power Director 11 which I have been using so far. (When editing 1080p the ratio in PP is cca 1:2,5, the same as in Power Director.)
    So when the disks are idle, the GPU is idle, more RAM changes nothing and the CPU only works on 1/3 its capacity, what is the bottleneck?
    I want to use 100% of the CPU and 100% of the GPU and have the rendering:movie say 0,3:1 or so.
    What can I change to fully use the processing power of my computer?
    Thanks
