Sony HDR CX550v export settings Premiere Pro CS5

I would like to know, what are the best "Export Settings" in premiere CS5 when rendering for Blu-ray?
I shoot everything in the highest quality HD setting. I assume I should export it as Progressive Scan, but should I? Or, should I just check "Match Sequence Settings"? Or, should I select a format with a preset that has "Match Source Attributes"?
I've found the best DVD settings are "MPEG2 DVD" with a preset "Match Source Attributes" and then customizing it by selecting the Field Order "None (Progressive)". This looks amazing for DVD quality, esp. on my Sony Blu-ray player that claims to upconvert DVD to some quasi HD deal. It almost feels like HD.
For DVD I've tried customizing by increasing bit rate, and all kinds of stuff. It just made it horrible, it took about 4 to 8 times longer to render, and wasted a perfectly otherwise fine verbatim lightscribe DVD-R....
Anyways, would like to know without the labor of trial and error, how to best tackle the HD side if anyone knows. Thanks!

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....?

Exporting Settings (Premiere Pro CS4 with Matrox)

Premiere Pro CS4
Canon XHG1 camera (HDV/Mini DV/NTSC)
Matrox RT.X2
HP Z800 with 2.4GHz Intel Xeon processor, 12GB RAM, and running Windows 7
I have experience with digital video editing in Premiere, exporting up to 40-minute videos (that took maybe 2 hours to export), but the last version I used was maybe Premiere 7 and I didn’t have the Matrox card (and was using a computer much less capable than this one). I was also just using a consumer-level camera, not the big Canon. Now I’m trying to export video and there are way more choices than I had before, and it seems like the estimated time to export is quite high, despite having a good machine and the Matrox card.
So my question is, is there a chart anywhere that says what settings to use for the particular output you are looking for? For instance, what should I pick for the web that is good enough quality but not a giant file? What should I pick if I want to make a DVD? Is there a way to directly export to a DVD if you aren’t manipulating the video at all? I’ve been told I should be able to utilize the Matrox card to reduce the export time, but it seems like it takes at least 5 times the length of the video to export no matter what.
I guess an important question here is, what is the normal amount of time I should expect something to take to export? I have a 2-hour video that just needs to be transferred from the mini DV tapes and burned to a DVD – no effects necessary. The lowest export time estimate I can get is around 10 hours, and I have no idea what that will look like in terms of quality when done.
In the future I will be doing mostly short (2 minutes or less) videos for web, so export time should be short, but I’d still like to know what the best settings are and how long it should take.
I hope this makes sense – thanks for your help!
Genevieve

Thanks for your help. I have copied and pasted my results below. It seemed to get through that queue very quickly, so perhaps the slowness is do to something more specific in the project I am working on. Perhaps a large mismatch in what I am capturing vs. what I am exporting? The camera is recording in HD.... I don't know much about hardware at all, and only know very basic stuff about exporting, so I know it is probably difficult to understand what I'm looking for. The last version of Premiere I had basically allowed you to choose format, size, quality, and codec whereas this version has so many different export settings I can pick from, it is hard to just guess and check which ones work best.

OMF Export Hangs - Premiere Pro CS5

I am exporting about 19 minute long sequence to OMF. I have about 12 audio tracks - most of these are mono, couple of tracks are stereo. There are no nested sequences. As for effects, there's only one audio gain.
I tried exporting with encapsulate option - after about 5 minutes, the progress bar hangs at a certain point - it hung for more than 40 minutes.
I cancelled the export, and then tried exporting with separate audio files setting - the progress bar hangs at a certain point (a little farther than the encapsulate setting) and is hung again for over 30 minutes now.I can see that all audio (Wav) files are saved in the folder, however the progress bar is hung and the OMF file is at 0KB. Is premiere doing anything? Does it take this long? Or is Premiere is hung?
I am on a very tight timeline and will appreciate help resolving this.
Thanks.
RV

For anyone who might run into similar problem - after trying multiple things, found out the problem. For a few audio clips, the stereo was split into 2 mono tracks and placed on timeline on two tracks. I manually removed each of thesesplit tracks and replaced it with stereo file on a single stereo track on timeline.
And the OMF rendered finally!

thats way too vague of a question... best what? quality? size? playback?
best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

Poor quality on movie after exporting it from Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi!
As a part of my bachelor thesis in industrial engineering, I am making an animation that shows how different types of water turbines work.
The animation it self, I've created in a program called Autodesk Inventor. From Inventor I get an uncompressed video. This video is usually not possible to open directly, but when I convert this with FreeMake video converter, it works
Conversion in FreeMake:
From:
RAWVIDEO
1280 * 720
16:9
663,554 Kbps
30 fps
To:
. Avi, mpeg4
1280 * 720
16:9
3283Kbps
30fps
The video looks great now, but now when i have finished editing the film in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and exported it, the lines are very blurred and bad. I've attached a picture showing what I mean. I have tried many different settings in Premiere, but i cannot get it any better.
The picture on the left is after exporting, the image on the right is after converting it in FreeMake Video Converter.
Have tried with the flicker removal, but with poor results.
Does anyone have any tips on what I can do?

Thank you for the warm welcome
Yes, the video from autodesk is uncompressed avi. These files are impossible to import in Premiere, and i cant open them in either VLC or WMPlayer.
After a conversion with FreeMake VideoConverter they are possible to import, and they look very good in VLC.
My Sequence settings are:
Editing mode: HDV 720p
Timebase: 29.97 frames/second
Video:
Frame size: 1280*720
Pixel Aspect ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields: No fields (progressive scan)
Display format: 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Audio:
Sample Rate 48000Hz
Display format: Audio samples
Video Previews
Preview File format: I-Frame Only MPEG
Codec: MPEG I-frame
With: 1280
Height: 720
Maximum bit depth and Maximum render quality is checked.
I have tried with a variety of export settings, but my current ones are:
Output:
Format: Quicktime
Video Codec: H.264
1280*720, 29,97 fps, Progressive, Quality 100, 48000Hz, Stereo, H.264
Aspect: Square Pixels
Render at maximum depth
Depth: 24bit
Use maximum render quality.
One thing I find quite strange is that i have to short clips at the beginning, which both seem fine.

Premiere Pro CS5 fails to export to Media Encoder CS5

Hello all,
I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Version 5.0.3 on two 64 bit Windows 7 computer systems (laptop and desktop). On my laptop everything works fine and has for some time. We recently installed CS5 on this desktop (new computer). Using the same settings that I use on my laptop, I can encode video by going to File->Export->Media and selecting Export. However, if I chose to Queue the media into Adobe Media Encoder version 5.0.1 it fails to work. Media Encoder opens properly, and the progress bar for exporting the media goes to 100% and disappears like it should. At that point no file appears in the queue. Any help as to what is happening? I'm not receving any error messages that could give me a hint...
Thanks!

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the response. Due to the intermittent nature of this problem I wanted to test more thorougly and can confirm that the files are PCM at 44.1Khz. The error message is, "The file format is not supported", and IIRC the files opened fine in Flash (which will be explained later). Audacity successfully opens the files.
I have resolved the issue and discovered exactly where the 'fault' lies.
Adobe determines the file type by it's filename - rather than using methods in Cocoa library or by looking at the RIFF header. My files are titled, "yyyy.mm.ddName" (Reason/Record does not automatically add the extension in this case), however some files were titled "yyyy-mm-ddName.aif". The former (with periods) would result in the filename extension being truncated from the file's name, but the file 'Kind' is still identified as an "Aif C Audio".
On OSX, any file with an unknown extension should also have it's file type checked using the Cocoa Library since the OS does keep record of the file type that can (and should) be used by applications.
A fix to this in the code is that under OSX, the Cocoa Library file methods should also consult the file type - given that many programs on OSX may happily save without explicitly using an extension in the file name.\
Flash (which didn't yield this problem) may have additional code to ascertain the filetype by seeing if it recognizes the data (given that Flash interracts with streammed data that would not have a file extension).

Excellent - great information guys! I love the links to write ups.
preface: (This whole project was shot with Canon 5DM2 - I don't remember if the cameras were set at 24 or 30 fps ) so as i am learning about the export options i am also learning (the hard way) about the seq settings.
Right now on my current project (fashion show) I have 9 designers that walked the runway, so i am creating 9 timelines in a project. for each designer/tl i will output (.mov)vimeo and facebook seg for each one. i have edited 4 designers so far and i think i have some issues and i need to learn more about seq settings and also output options.
I am also delivering a physical dvd. I created a FINAL tl that i am dropping each (nested) designer segment onto. when i created this tl i must have set it up as dv ntsc - (out of habit)-and i think that is the choice for going to physical dvd?not sure?.
the first 2 designers i set the seq settings at dv ntsc and they fit (nested ) on the "final" tl, ///however i think i had to resize all those clips (I didn't know why they weren't right. - honestly i can't remember///
ANYWAYS, Designers 3 and 4= i had set the seq settings at canon xf mpeg2 1080i/p
Should all the designers seg be set at canon xf mpeg2 1080i/p (i selected 1080p30) but i really don't know if it was 24 or 30 (is that information in clip info somewhere?)
Can I change a seq setting once the timeline is edited on? = please don't tell me i have to re=edit. yikes What should the correct settings be?
Is there a work around to put designers 1&2 (dv ntsc settings) on same tl with 3&4 (canon xf mpeg 1080p30) ?
Finally what setting should that final (NESTED FINAL timeline all designers) be? - for output to physical DVD ( JVC-Taiyo Yuden )

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.

Exporting For YouTube - Premiere Pro CS5 (Canon XL2)

I shot a promo video with my Canon XL2, and would like to upload the finished product to YouTube at the highest possible quality in order to help promote the company I work for.
Footage shot in 30p at 29.97 fps, 16:9 - NTSC.
Sequence settings are all correct and match my footage perfectly.
I have exported the video as H.264, AVI, MOV, MP4, MP2, WMV and countless other formats. When played on my computer the video quality is SUPERB. I am ecstatic at how it turned out, HOWEVER, when I upload the video -in any format- to YouTube, it looks absolutely horrible - as though it were shot with a webcam.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I might be doing wrong? Anyone had any experience with the XL-2 and Premiere Pro videos being ugly when uploaded to YouTube?
Thanks a bunch!

Be very careful when using Adobe's presents for YouTube, Vimeo, etc. They have a fixed frame rate but it doesn't always match your source frame rate and this adds additional render time and can drop or add (adding is much worse) frames.
The worst offender is a preset that is for non drop-frame 30.0 fps (instead of drop frame 29.97) because every 3 seconds 3 frames get added.
Also be aware that when exporting for the web (or most anything other than to DVD), you want to use square pixels.
This might require a bit of tweaking with the presets but it is well worth the effort.
864x480 is the square pixel equivalent to 720x480 widescreen (1.21...).
For more indepth info on the presets (and my rants on the matter) - have a look at my CS5 and C5.5 articles.

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
Frieder

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

Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

System:
Core i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
12GB DDR3 1600
External Sound Card - M-Audio ProFire 610
OS Drive - 2x300GB WD Raptors - Raid 0

Video Card - Geforce GTX 285 1GB
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2. I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
Possible issues:
1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen) (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2. I just installed my new motherboard to replace it. Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell). However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5. I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME. I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

I experienced this at one point. Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime. (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.) However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem. Search this board using quicktime as a search phase. The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions. I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

Why does Premiere Pro CS5 process audio source before exporting clip in AME CS5?

Hello everyone, my first post here. I am currently trying out the trial CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro. I've been using Premiere Pro CS5 to put together family videos. I select a certain portion of a sequence and queue it for export in Media Encoder CS5 in the format H.264 for iPod with video and audio.
Now in AME I have a queue list of about 5 clips from the sequence. But when I hit the Start Queue button, the bottom left of the progress bar states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]" for all 5 clips from the sequence then creates the first output file.
Then it moves to encode the second and again states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]" for all 5 clips of mt sequence then spits out only the second output file.
This continues for the remaining 3 output files. The total sequence length is ~32 minutes with transitions and it takes about 35 minutes to export which is all consumed by the process audio source of the 5 clips in my sequence for 5 separate times.
Is there a certain reason why Media Encoder or Premiere Pro does this process of audio source? Is this process necessary or needed? I experimented with choosing different output formats but the results are the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Now that's pretty good follow-up to your first post, and quickly too! Nice detective work.
As you have found, there is basically a Render/Replace operation going on in PrPro, to get the material in the correct form for AME.
Thank you for reporting, as it saved me, and others, from basically saying what you said.
Good luck, and sorry that you beat us to the punch.

Cannot export to Quicktime in Premiere Pro CS5

This problem has been addressed before, but the solution, to simplify the name of the file, is not working for me.
I am not able to export to Quicktime. The error is "Unable to create or open an output file."
Here are my parameters:
Premiere Pro CS5, recently updated.
Windows 7, recently updated.
PC HP Pavilion desktop
Source footage is HDV in an mp4 codec via the CS5 timeline.
I have disabled my anti-virus software (ESET).
I have no other video-related programs running.
Clips appear in the Export screen (for preview) perfectly.
Exporting to any other codec or container, including H.264 (an Apple product) works fine. To make things
a little more interesting, the last time I tried to export to Quicktime (a year ago) I was using PPr CS4. Export
to Quicktime worked perfectly well. Now it does not. Now when I activate "start queue" in Media
Encoder for CS4, the green check mark appears without the clips being encoded at all. Once again, CS4
encodes to other codecs perfectly well.
Sounds like in the intervening year I may have downloaded some interfering software, but like editors
everywhere, I download a lot of these things. Finding the culprit would take days (weeks!). Are there
any prime suspects?
Alternatively, are there any other ways to export in high quality to let Mac users easily access PC
generated footage?

Mac users are the ones who choose to use an OS which creates this type of compatibility issue. Honestly, I'd just create an AVI and let them solve the problem.
Your clients must really appreciate you as a great "solution providor" Jim!

Options for exporting a project in Adobe premiere Pro CS5.5

When Exporting a project from Adobe premiere Pro CS5.5 I use the format of Windows Media file and Preset HDTV 1080P 30 HighQuality. At the bottom of the window there are some options that say "Use Maximum Render Quality" And "Use Frame Blending". I used these two options on my first video I exported but I want to know for the future what both of these options do exactly to my film and if they could adversely effect things like lighting and the frame rate of a clip or anything?

Max Render Quality does what is says: gives better picture quality, but will lengthen the export process.
Frame Blending you check when output framerate differs from timeline framerate.
