Some sequence settings/exporting help

I was given a video (specs below) that I am supposed to insert a couple of logos (some transparent pngs) that overlay the entire thing then send it back to the person that sent it to me. Its in an aspect ratio that is unfamiliar to me (320x240). He must have used a web cam. Every time I export it it comes out in 720x480 making the human and everything else in the video look fatter. Also, the video's file size is only 17MB and when I export it it comes out at 633MB! If you guys could help me out with this that would be unreal (and make me look good in front of the boss)! Places I think I could be going wrong is within sequence settings and export settings. I'm trying to export it as a quicktime movie using the quicktime compressor? Specs include:
source: /Users/robmatthews/Desktop/Video 8.wmv
format: Windows Media Audio 9 Standard, Mono, 32.000 kHz, Windows Media Video 8, 320 x 240, Millions
fps: 12.07
fps playing: 13-15ish
data size: 52.10 MB
data rate: 686.89 kbits/s
duration: 0:00:10:35.02
normal size: 320 x 240 pixels
current size: 447 x 336 pixels
Thank a lot in advance

This is quite a mountain to climb.
You have highly compressed WINDOWS MEDIA in a typical web pixel size, 320x240, and they want you to add a logo, but then no doubt return it in exactly the same format, right? You'll be VERY hard pressed to do that in FCP....it will require time, money, and loss in resolution when all is said and done.
You can't just use the file they sent and slap a graphic on it. I doubt that your clients realize that. You have to convert to an editable format that FCP recognizes, thus resizing the footage from 320x240 to 720x480, converting it from Windows to DV or DV50, converting the frame rate from 12fps to 24fps or 30fps...add the logo, then reencode it back to windows 320x240 with software that you will have to but to get it that way...like Flip4Mac. And the quality will looks significantly worse. A LOT of work for a bad outcome.
I doubt that this was shot at 320x240 at 12fps. This is not the master, this is the compressed result. If they want logos, they need to give you the FULL RES MASTER for you to work with, then you can send them a FULL RES master back for them to then encode for the web. I'll wager that they will want to send you an AVI or other PC format though...which again will need to be converted, edited, and converted.
As I said, quite a mountain, and I don't think FCP is the best choice here.

  • PP 5.5 - DNxHD Matched Sequence Settings exports washed out video

    Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. We shot on Scarlet, and after color we got back 1920x1080 DNxHD files.
    Im concerned because after conforming, I'm using Match Sequence Settings to export from Premiere and my export video is washed out and different than the original.
    Here's the original DNxHD video that I got from our colorist. (all i did was change the filename)
    https://www.yousendit.com/download/TEhXNU1KTlF6RS9xYk1UQw
    This is the file Premiere spit out after using Match Sequence Settings (a little shorter because original clip had handles)
    https://www.yousendit.com/download/TEhXNU1KTlE0b0R2WnRVag
    Sequence Settings below. It's also worth it to note that even though I'm choosing 1080p 23.976 DNxHD 175 10-bit and clicking okay, whenever I click configure again under "Video Previews", the dropdown list has defaulted back to 1080i 59.94 DNxHD 220 10-bit. weird. 709 vs. RGB is not making a difference for me.
    My Export settings, just for good measure. "Use Maximum Render Quality" isn't making a difference for me
    Side by Side comparison. You can really see the difference in the hair above her left eye. Original has a bit more contrast.
    I can get good looking exports using other codecs and settings, PhotoJPEG works pretty well, but I know in a lot of cases DNxHD is kind of a standard for finishing work, and up until now I've done mostly broadcast and I've never worked with this Avid codec before. This is our first project with this camera so I want to make sure I'm doing the post-color work correctly. Our colorist already kinda boned us by not haing a red rocket and basically forcing me to take this codec. I'm just wondering if there is some color management step or setting that I'm missing. I really need this export to match the original.
    Thanks for all your help, hopefull i can learn something here

    Have you tried comparing the footage from inside of Premiere? Put each of the before and afters over top of each other in Premiere itself and see if they look different.  Honestly I downloaded your test file and played them from inside premiere right side by side and didn't notice the problem that I see occuring in your pictures. However I did notice a bit of aspect change or something. But nothing related to color.Anyways just try placing them in premiere and comparing them both from inside Premiere.
    If just simply placing the files inside Premiere doesn't fix the issue to begin with. Then attempt to change your preview file format in premiere to something besides Quicktime.
    But honestly in the pics you posted I can see a clear difference however when I pull both of your files from rapidshare into Premiere Pro on my windows machine using the standard mpeg preview codec I see no color differences.
    Like Jim said though Quicktime can't be trusted for color accuracy it has several known gamma issues.

  • Standard widescreen sequence settings - PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    I've been trying for weeks to figure out the proper sequence settings / easy setup settings for videos that will ulitimately end up as STANDARD 16x9 footage.
    Is there a direct 16 x 9 standard widescreen setting?
    What I've been trying to do is to make a standard widescreen picture video slideshow that will end up being burned via idvd. But for the life of me I cant figure it out?!?!?
    PLEASE HELP! Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!!!
    PS
    I do have Fianl Cut Studio Pro 2 studio.

    "Standard" 16:9 is anamorphic.
    Import your footage into FCP using a 16:9 preset, edit it and export it using 'current settings'.
    Open up DVD Studio Pro and import the footage making sure to check the box that tells the program the material is 16:9.

  • Stretched export even when "Match Sequence Settings" is checked

    I've been stumped by an export problem I've never faced before. I'm reediting the audio of the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie, so I began this project with a sequence based on the settings of the mp4 file of that movie. I edited it and exported it with "Match Sequence Settings" checked, but the final is horizontally stretched. Here are some screenshots.
    Sequence Settings
    Export Settings (the source and output previews match!!)
    Original Movie
    New Export, Weirdly Stretched
    Any thoughts? The sequence settings of my edit are based on the original movie, so I can't understand how the final output could be different. What am I missing?
    Also this is in CC 2014.

    Hi Ttraversy,
    It may have to do with non-square pixels, however, I'm not sure you should be editing with other people's source material. I highly recommend you avoid doing so to avoid legal problems.
    Thanks,

  • "disk full" message? when exporting 60fps sequences with "match sequence settings"?

    Hi, I have searched the forums for this subject and found many discussions that went in different directions but no solutions or input from Adobe.
    Summarizing,
    everything exports well, both directly from PremPro CS6 and from AME (all input files (like 720p or 1080 p .mts AVCHD or .mp4 H264), all sequence settings, all export settings (like H264, 30 fps, 60 fps)
    EXCEPT "match sequence settings" for 60 fps 1080p or 720p AVCHD footage, THEN you get the message "Disk full" after 10-20 seconds.
    Of course, the disc is not full, there are no applied effects, and it worked well in CS5.5!!
    So, Adobe, what can be done about this, no update yet??

    Hi, Ann
    Thanks for the reply.
    My cache files are stored on a secondary (7200rpm) 1 TB disc
    So are the preview files, render files and the source files, but there are no render or preview files, I just put the footage on the timeline in a "new sequence from clip" (which was AVCHD 1080p 60fps .mts file) and tried to export without editing.
    I tried to export to this disc and also to the C: disc but got the same message:"Error compiling movie. Disc Full".
    If I made the sequence 30 fps the "match sequence settings" export worked well.
    I can export n H264.mp4 format at 60fps but I would like to just trim the clips in the timeline and save them without much loss for later editing.

  • Match Sequence Settings

    Has anyone figured out how to export from PPro/AME with settings from an specific sequence?  Meaning, if my sequence
    is DVCPROHD 1080p and it has 10 mono audio tracks in it,  I could export a QT in DVCPROHD with all those 10 mono tracks
    embeded without stereo or 5.1 mix down.  Any pointers?  That would be a nice option to have. Thanks!
    PS: I don't know why "Match Sequence Settings" exports as MPEG2... even when my sequence is DVCPROHD... Go figure...

    PP cannot export anything but mono, stereo or 5.1 audio.
    Sorry.
    (On a side note, the Match checkbox matches your Preview Render settings, not your footage.  That's why it comes out as MPEG.)

  • Help with correct sequence settings for exporting QT

    hi -- I am about to export a QT movie of a sequence in FCP. There are three different properties of clips in the sequence -- footage I shot on a Panasonic HD HMC150 was compressed with Apple ProRes422 and footage I shot on the JVCHD - can't remember model - uses the 720p24 codec. All other properties for these clips are the same.
    I also use some archival footage in the sequence was shot at 29.97 fps, 720x480, compressed using the DV/DVCPro NTSC and a different pixel aspect.
    I also use jpegs.
    Here's the question. The Sequence Settings are HDV 720p24. Do I need to change the properties for the clips that don't match the Sequence Settings BEFORE I export a QT File? Or, do I export a QT file then import it back into FCP at the 720p24 setting and export that sequence as a QT file.
    Thanks

    ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
    The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.

    ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
    The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
    I made stills from the same frames in the different sequences to show the difference between them. Unfortunately, I can't attach these images in the forum.
    So here's the sequence settings as of now for both the original and current sequences:
    Easy Setup:
    Format - HD
    Codec - HDV 720p24
    23.98 fps
    1280x720
    Sequence Settings:
    1280x720
    Aspect Ratio - hdtv 720p 16:9
    pixel: square
    compressor appleprores 422
    Field Dominance - none
    editing timebase: 23.98
    Render Codec - same as sequence codec
    Clip Codecs:
    Primarily HDV 720p24
    Some Apple ProRes 422
    Archival Footage - Dv/DVCPRO NTSC
    Okay, now here's where things start getting hairy. I read in the FCP manual today that I should convert the sequence setting to the same codec as the majority of the clips -- in this case that was 720p24. So I changed the sequence codec from AppleProRes 422 to 720p24. Then I rendered the sequence before exporting it as a QT file. -- not noticing until after I burned a DVD about the image size problem.
    Now, this evening, while I was checking the settings of the older original sequences -- trying to figure out what went wrong -- I realized that the original sequence used the AppleProRes 422 codec!! So, I converted my current sequence from the 720p24 codec BACK to Apple ProRes 422 - hoping this might solve my larger image problem -- BUT the image size stayed the same. Am I just compressing over and over again and screwing up my sequences.
    The weird thing is that MOST of the sequence copies that are not the original -- converted to the changed codec even though I had only the sequence I was changing open ---- there must be a reason for all this. I hope you all can figure it out for me. I've been spending hours at it.
    Thanks again.

  • Help choosing capture,sequence and export settings?

    Hello, Im new to Final Cut. Im using final cut pro 6.0.2 and trying to teach my self the basics of this program. I Shoot with a Canon GL2 in the 16:9 setting and I'm not sure what the optimal settings are for the sequence, capture and export settings. Someone recommended the DV NTSC anamorphic for capture and sequence settings which seems to work fine except when I export to QT movie it appears to be displaying in 4:3 instead of how it previews which is 16:9. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi CJ,
    Welcome to the discussion agora,
    ...the DV NTSC anamorphic for capture and sequence settings which seems to work fine except when I export to QT movie it appears to be displaying in 4:3 instead of how it previews which is 16:9.
    That's normal. Are you watching it in QT? QT displays square pixels while your movie has rectangular ones.
    Go to QT main menu>Window>show movie properties>presentation check box and change *conform aperture*.

  • Exported image is always stretched... source clips 1080p, sequence settings 720p.

    So I'm trying to export a file from FC7 at 720p, but it always comes out stretched, no matter what resolution I have the export set to. The source clips are mostly 1080p, but I chose to edit 720p because my Mac was just too slow to be able to efficiently edit in 1080p.
    Sequence settings:
    Frame Size: 1280x720 (HD 720p)
    Pixel Aspect Ration: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
    Anamorphic: Off
    The clip settings are mostly 1920x1080, however I'm also working with some still images that vary in resolution. In editing, all of the clips are zoomed in, as I'm trying to cut out some aspects of the image, and focus on specific details within the clip's frame.
    In the canvas, the image looks just as it should be, but whenever I export, it is noticeably stretched. I feel like I've run out of options, and I'm thinking of re-editing the entire thing (it's not that long) in 1080p. My gut tells me that it has to do with the clip formats being different from the sequence settings, but I can't figure out anything else that I could try to get it to export properly.
    I was hoping if anybody had any ideas, they could shoot them my way. I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately this did not work, but I feel like it should have when I observe the clip settings. Interestingly, when I set the sequence Pixel Aspect Ratio to square, the image on the canvas appears stretched in the same way that it does in all the exported files that I had previously created. The clip settings are as follows:
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    PAR: Square
    Compressor: H.264
    Frame rate: 59.94
    Other images that I used are varying resolutions, but also have a square PAR. The sequence settings are as I mentioned in the opening post, but here are some added details that vary from the clip settings:
    Compressor: Apple Proress422
    Frame rate: 29.97
    I tried changing all of the PAR of the clip settings to match the sequence settings, but this didn't work either. Honestly, I think I might just resort to working within 1080p where the sequence settings are changed to match the clip settings exactly, because I opened up a test sequence and it works just fine this way. I appreciate the help a lot though, thank you!

  • "Current" Dimensions on Export not matching Sequence Settings or Clip

    I have been trying to export a Sequence using "QuickTime Conversion" with Dimensions set to "Current" but I have a problem. The video clips dimensions are 1920x1080, and the sequence is also set to 1920x1080, as you can see from the screen shots. For some reason, every time I try to export the Sequence with Dimensions set to "Current", it is saying the current dimension is "556x312", see screen shot.
    Can anyone tell me why it is doing this??? It is driving me crazy!
    One more thing, I was able to export a sequence earlier today that I had NOT sent to Color. The sequence I am now trying to export is one that I sent to Color for some corrections and it is now only letting me export with current dimensions of 56x312 as stated above.

  • 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)

    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!

  • Sequence settings help needed

    10.6.7
    FCE 4.0.1
    I've only dabbled with FCE occasionally, but this always seems to trip me up.  I cannot seem to get my sequences to match my video reliably.  Here is a link to the media file info, and every choice I make in sequence settings still needs rendering, though the clips play fine in the viewer.  (Mor info on what I'm trying to do is below the image).
    No matter what I do (new project, etc.) FCE does not ask me to match the sequence to the clips being dropped onto the timeline.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/367778/Misc/FCE_01.jpg
    I've been trying to sort this issue off & on for a while.  If I can get this sorted I'll be a happy guy.  I have a Canon HG20 camera that shoots in MTS format.  I've tried a few converter apps, and most recently (today) settled on trying to use Brorsoft's MTS Converter, since I bought it a while back AND it now has a FCE export setting specifically.  I just can't get FCE to let me work without rendering every single thing on the timeline.  I must be doing something wrong here.
    Please help!!!

    Alchroma wrote:
    Frame Size:  1440 x 810
    This will never work with FCE correctly.
    How did the file get to this size???
    Your HG20 should work with FCE directly and you should be able to set the correct Sequence.
    Do you know exactly what the camera is set to record and output? This info has a direct bearing on it's operation within FCE.
    Al
    I know - right?!!  It's crazy but all the converter apps I've tried that convert from MTS files to a claimed FCE or FCP preset do so in some screwy way.  I wish I didn't have to convert first but FCE won't recognize the MTS files.
    The Canon HG20 is difficult to get accurate info on, but:
    It appears to be set to 1080i at 60i fps (which it claims is standard). 
    The "quality" setting I use is the XP+ which claims to be 12Mbps.
    Other than that, I get no feedback on what the file type & settings are. Since Quicktime cannot open the files as MTS, the only thing I can check it with is VLC which reports it as 1440 x 1080 (see attached image below).  FCE will not let me import the recorded files without converting them with something first.
    It's all terribly frustrating.  This camera & codec have been out & in consumer hands since at least 3 years ago, and the Mac and FCE still don't want to play nice with it.  It sure would be nice to get this figured out and so that I can work with it in as lossless a capacity as possible.

  • Mistake: too large sequence settings. Now: how to export?

    I am new on premiere (and in video editing), but I have spent many hours during last holidays learning and producing a short video.
    The first media I included in was a large image. I think, that this is the reason why the sequence settings are big: 4928 x 3264 pixels (I didn't know about sequence settings at all).
    Then, I added my video clips, recorded in DV format 720x576.
    Now I understand why the video clips appear to be scaled more that 500% to fullfill the photogram!!
    I have seen a video about sequence settings, and it seems that good sequence settings reduce cpu usage during editing (real time preview). Good to know!
    But my question is: can I export good quality video with this settings?
    I have tried DV PAL, and H264+DV PAL, producing big files: 250MB or 2GB for a 10min. video, with horrible video quality.
    I would appreciate any help to avoid re-doing all the proccess.
    Thanks!
    Kin

    I have the last version (downloaded from adobe site one month ago).
    You are right: what I wanted to do is to edit a short video from clips recorded using a DV camera. I would like to see it with decent quality in a tv (as I can see the original dv recordings) or a PC. I don't mind the format, but of course, it makes no sense to export to produce full definition, etc. What I get is very bad (even in a 13" laptop screen: pixelation, etc. Yesterday I got better results using h264 and "settings from seq.", but still, significantly worse than original material and using big resolution in the output video, which makes no sense).
    From the tutorial video about "selecting sequence settings" I understood that the final scaling is done during the encoder step. I though that the scaling at that time would not take into account the sequence settings, only the format of the original footage and the exported video. But maybe this is not the case.
    It seems that it scales up first and using a big scale (>500%) is terrible, even if at the end it is scaled down.
    Yesterday I tried to change the sequence settings but I did not succeeded. I read that after you add clips to a sequence the settings cannot be changed (or some settings cannot be changed). Now that you confirm that I should change the sequence settings I will try again.
    The most critical parts are:
    - The audio was created with an external program so that now it is a unique track of the full length. I need to hold the exact timeline so that voice is synchronized with the video. If I cannot manage to change the sequence settings, your proposal of create a new sequence and copy paste seems really helpful! (I was thinking on create a new project from scratch, but this seems much better).
    - I have adjusted the video scale. Most cases is just "resize to photogram size" but there are animated parts (I mean, change scale on time), both in still images and in a few video sequences. I think I will have to redo this, but this is not so much work.
    Thank you very much for your help!

  • I'm confused by Export Settings- Match Sequence Settings

    I’ve created three sample sequences that are all NTSC 720x480 16.9, but each has a different Fields setting (Lower, Upper, and No Fields).  When Exporting (File->Export->Media), the CS5 manual states the following for the Match Sequence Settings feature:
    To automatically export a file from a Premiere Pro sequence with settings that exactly match the settings for that sequence, select Match Sequence Settings in the Export Settings dialog box.
    I’m confused what it is doing because when selected, it always sets the Field Type to Lower, even when the sequence is set to Upper or No Fields.  However, using a Match Source Attributes Preset, when available, the Field Type will indeed match the sequence’s Fields setting.  Also, the Match Sequence Settings wasn’t even available when the sequence was set to Lower Fields.
    I did read in one of the forums where it was mentioned that checking the Match Sequence Settings will match the sequence's Preview File settings.  If this is true, I don’t see where one can set the Field of Preview Files.
    If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I’d be most grateful.  Thanks.

    I am confused about how to create a project setting as well as Export setting. I have few videos with width 640 & height 360.  Frame rate is 29 FPS. In project setting Frame Size i used 640 by 360 & pixel aspect ration is square pixel (1.0) . after i finish with editing i wanna to export in movie so in export setting i click on Match Sequence then render starts with 50% video quality i wanna to make that 100% but option is disable so what to do?
    If I don't click on match Sequence then render will come in default size that is 720x480 . In this video quality comes 100%.
    I am totally confuse kindly Help in this case. 

  • Does exporting DV using "Match Sequence Settings"

    I am capturing VHS and Hi8 home video using a Canopus ADVC-300 and Premiere Pro CS6.  The output is DV, about 14GB/hour.  Most of the captures are unattended (have a 4 TB disk, backed up of course, but space is not a big concern right now).  I'd like to get everything imported before starting any serious editing, so I capture each tape twice: the first time, the video itself; then I rewind, turn the timestamp indicator overlay on, and capture again with the camera running at 2x speed.  That way I can quickly find when a particular segment of a tape was recorded without winding the tape around in the camera, looking for the scene and the time isn't overlaid over the image.
    I have two questions:
    1) Since the captures are unattended, I need to trim the blue screen off the end of each captured files to save disk space.  I'd like to confirm that if I trim a sequence and export with "Match Sequence Settings" set, that Premiere will not re-encode the DV except for the parts that I actually changed (I sometimes use dip to black around damaged segment of tape).  Based on the export speed, I don't think it's recompressing and the quality looks the same but I'd like to double-check.
    Does Premiere Pro CS6 always mark the timeline with the colored bar if processing is required?  The "dip to black" parts get a yellow bar, but the rest has no bar.  That would be a clue.
    Also, the export dialog has "Use Maximum Render Quality" unchecked by default.  I check it -- does it matter?
    2) What is the best way to permanently associate a date/time with the captured video? I didn't see any way to bake it into the DV for each segment.  I'm using comments in sequence markers, set at the start of each clip, but the sequence markers don't move if I ripple-delete, say 10 seconds of noise in the middle of a track.  I can't figure out how to get markers attached to the video track instead of to the sequence.  I found some videos that say how to do this, but they don't seem to apply to CS6.  I found that if I export the sequence, the markers then do get backed into the DV.  But I need them not to move if I ripple-edit.  Is that possible?
    3) My plan is to add a 3 or 5 second overlay title to the beginning of each segment saying what it is and when it was captured, but only for the final export.  Is there a trick that I could use to create a title from a marker?   This is not a big deal, but seems like a useful feature.
    Sorry if the answer to these questions are obvious -- thanks for your patience. 

    Thanks for replying.  The reason I want to re-export the captured DV is because I capture unattended, and don't know how much video there is on a 2 hour Hi8 tape or VHS tape.  
    I could find out by fast-forwarding through the tape and stopping, but it's more efficient to just capture the entire tape and then trim the end off the tape and re-export.  I'm planning on archiving the raw DV capture, and 1-1/2 hours will fit on a 25GB BluRay disk.  Two hours won't.
    Thanks for the tip about the project panel.  I never scrolled it to the right far enough to see the "description" or "log note" field.  Hopefully those notes will wind up in the metadata of the DV .AVI file, but even if it doesn't, I'm planning on archiving the Premiere Pro project file with the DV .AVI file.
    The copy/paste from marker to title is what I'm doing now.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something easier.
    So... does anyone know if Premiere Pro will pass-through the original DV if I re-export after making minor edits?
