Still image size when importing to Premiere Pro CS3

I was wondering if someone could help me.  I do a lot of Still Image Slide shows with music and all that jazz and I used to use Premiere 6.5.  When I would import the still images I could just lock the aspect ratio and it would automatically size the picture to fit the screen.  I recently upgraded to CS3 and when I try to import a photo it imports it at actual image size so if the pic to too big it just looks zoomed in.  I'm wonder if there is a setting in I can adjust so it autosizes the pic like it did in version 6.5?  It may sound lazy but I do these with a lot of picture and I don't have time to adjust the size of each photo in Photoshop prior to import.
I have figured out a temporary workaround where I import the files into 6.5 and then open the existing project in CS3 but my new computer runs Vista and it's not allowing me to install 6.5 on it.  I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

  • What is the optimum still image size for use in Premiere Pro?

    I'm pretty new to Premiere Pro so please excuse any extreme stupidity.
    I'm creating a film comprised of various interview footage. I intend to drop in stills (and possibly scan and pan around on them). The still images are coming from various sources and will have been shot on various formats.
    I requested high res images but have been asked what size I want the images to be in mm. Can anyone advise?
    The resulting film will be shown on Vimeo and on a website, but there is also further scope for high def projection possibly.  The film is HD 1080x1920
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Make sure that whoever is supplying stills is measuring them in PIXELS. Not MM, not Inches, not DPI - but PIXELS. Nothing else matters in video.
    Your "canvas" in Premiere will be 1920x1080 pixels (for 1080 HD), so that is the minimum size any still ought to be in order to fill the frame without having to scale it up (quality loss). Of course, if the image is portrait-style, then it will NOT fill the frame, but rather will have black on the sides, or replacement background as others have suggested. In that case, make sure that the height is then at least 1080 pixels (width will be narrower than 1920).
    You said you wanted to pan and scan, like Ken Burns, so then you'd want images larger than the 1920x1080, such as the 3456x2304 that was suggested. This allows you to zoom in to some degree using available pixels in the image without actually upscaling the image at all. The more you wish to zoom in, the more pixels you need to accomplish that without degrading the quality by "blowing up" the image.
    Good luck

  • Phantom Flex footage dark when imported to Premiere Pro

    Hi everyone (and hopefully Adobe Staff, also),
    I am aware this has been posted before, though from what I can see no one, Adobe Staff or users, have found a solution. I am hoping we can change that!
    I recently directed a Music video that was shot on the Phantom Flex. Everything went smoothly and after dropping the 3TB of footage via Seance (program by gluetools for Mac) I am now faced with a problem. While all the footage looks fine in Seance and on the Finder; when imported to Premiere Pro (CC v8.1, Caravan (latest update currently) it goes very dark, blue and flat. Premiere Pro is interpreting the colour/luma of the footage wrong.
    Adobe states that Premiere Pro supports Phantom Flex .cine files but it seems that while you can edit with them, the colour/luma is interpreted incorrectly. Many other people also seem to have this problem.
    These images below are all screenshots from Macbook Pros, one with ‘Glue Tools Phantom Cine Flex 4K’ installed (the gear house’s laptop) and one without (mine).
    I need to find a way to get Premiere Pro to interpret the colour/luma properly in Premiere Pro to edit the project, it seems the Glue Tools plugin is not the solution I was hoping for, as some people have suggested elsewhere.
    Is there a way to fix this within Premiere Pro or a plugin etc?
    Has anyone successfully edited Phantom Flex footage in Premiere Pro?
    Any help would be extremely helpful as I am really stuck here.
    Thankyou so much.
    Here is an example with some footage shot by the crew before me (still left on one of the cards), as you can see it is not just my footage that isn't working in Premiere Pro.
    Thankyou,
    Jack

    It looks to me like Seance (and Finder) are applying a LUT to the footage, whereas PP is showing you the flat image as it was actually recorded, which is normally the desired result.  Was there a LUT applied in the camera viewfinder or on-set monitor, something you might also apply in PP?

  • Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi,
    I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min.  This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes.  I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces.  Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
    Thanks,
    Serena

    There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
    Good luck,

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • Can animated titles created in Titlemotion imported into Premiere Pro CS3?

    Hi,
    We are using Titlemotion Software(Standalone Version)for creating animated titles.
    We would want to use these animations into Premiere Pro CS3.
    We can save the animations made in Titlemotion as
    1) an FX-script,
    2) a targa sequence &
    3) a '.VIA' format.
    'VIA' files created in Titlemotion do not get imported into Premiere Pro CS3, Premiere Pro informs that they are not supported.
    Is there any way to import a .VIA file into Premiere Pro CS3?
    OR
    Is there any work-around wherein animations created in Titlemotion Pro could be taken into Premiere Pro CS3?

    Save as a targa sequence with an alpha channel.

  • Input video appears stretched when imported to Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm on a beginner level on Premiere Pro so please be gentle if this question is very basic. I'm trying to make a video that preserves the input video resolution exactly. My input video was an MP4 movie with resolution 1440 x 1080. It's an iPad screen recording using X-Mirage software. When I opened it normally in quicktime, it didn't seem stretched. However, when I imported the clip into Premiere, the clip appeared stretched. I checked the Properties of the clip and it turned out to have Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.3333, which meant the pixels were stretched. My output sequence was also stretched out because of this, even though the output indicated that the resolution is the same: 1440 x 1080. I tried to comply with "Clip Mismatch Warning" and the result was still a stretched version. Please help!

    Hi,
    In premiere pro, you will see sequence on the top. Click on sequence and from the drop down select sequence settings. Under sequence settings there would be a tab of pixel aspect ratio. Try and change it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 or hd anamorphic.
    Check if it makes any difference.
    Thank You

  • Encore CS6 crashes when importing from Premiere Pro CS6

    When sending a project to Encore as a Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro, Encore hangs then a message pops up that it has stopped responding then closes. How do we get this to work?
    The computer has an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 Pro x64 with Service Pack 1. Adobe CS6 Master Collection is installed. The computer is joined to a Windows Server 2012 domain and the user of the machine has local administrator rights.
    The Adobe suite has been uninstalled and re-installed multiple times without success. Sometimes after re-installing, sending a Dynamic Link to Encore will import as expected once, but then after restarting the computer, the problem will occur again. This has been tried with and without installing any Adobe updates. The system has also been wiped and had Windows and all software clean installed on it again which has not resolved the problem.

  • Onlocation captured  mpg 's are corrupted when import in premiere pro

    Oke, yesterday i made this really sweet time lapse recording in Adobe Onlocation CS3. In Adobe Onlocation I can view the recordings 30sec each and there really good. Now I followed the instructions and ejected the clips, but now that I've imported them into Premier Pro CS4, they cant play and there only 1 frame long? How can I fix this?

    Are you recording HDV in .mpeg format? If so, On Location CS3 never recorded HDV .mpegs correctly for me. I had to use .m2t instead. I have no idea why (especially since Premiere's HDV capture is *.mpeg) but it just is...

  • Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

    Hi,
    I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
    I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
    PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
    The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
    parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
    Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
    Thanks.

    Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

  • Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

    Hi everyone,
    I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection.  All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain.  All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons.  When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment.  In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3.  I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved.  To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
    Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card.  The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
    This works great...on my office computer.
    The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio.  I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears.  If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio.  All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines.  If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio.  Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
    Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week.  Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies.  Again, video imports, audio doesn't.  No audio layer appears.
    Thanks!

    See if this helps... To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

  • Premiere Pro CS3 capture error after Aug 09 vista update

    im using premiere pro cs3 on two PC's running vista.  after the last vista update last week, i can no longer import HDV or DV from my HV30.  both PC's detect the camera and ask to import into windows movie maker or other programs, but when i open premiere pro cs3 and click on capture, both PC's refuse to acknowledge that a camerat attached.  is anyone else having this error?  if so, have anyone found a soultion to this error?

    Strange as it might sound, I'd also install the latest audio and video drivers. OS updates can kill these in a heartbeat. Test afterwards.
    It sounds like Vista is seeing the camera OK, but I'd check just a bit deeper. Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager (or whatever Vista might call it?), and with your camera attached and turned on, navigate to it. Open up the window for that device and check every panel. Any warnings, or errors anywhere?
    In PrPro, check all of the Capture Preferences. Anything amiss there? Anything changed, since the update?
    As a test, create a current Restore Point (do not trust that Vista has done this for you - do it manually to be sure), and then choose a Restore Point from before the Update (I'd actually go back several, if possilbe). Use that and test again. Does PrPro now see the camera and does it Capture as before? If the earlier examinations do not point up something, and this test shows that PrPro CAN Capture, you have at least narrowed it down to the Vista update.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
