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.

  • Poor still image quality in Premiere Pro

    Hi, I am new to Premiere Pro. A couple of weeks ago I made 2 slide shows using still pictures from a school trip to Washington DC. I added .m4a audio files and they look great. Today I made 3 more slide shows, same sources, but the picture quality isn't there. It seems I must have changed something? The quality of the pictures varies, as they come from different cameras, but when I have a high quality picture - for example 5 MB - that looks great in Windows Photo Viewer, it still looks bad in Premiere Pro. I'm using Fit and Full, pictures look bad in the smaller window and when viewed full screen. This is before any exporting.
    It occurs to me that I didn't know about rendering until I watched a tutorial, now when I make changes I hit enter to render. Could that have anything to do with it? I see my Arlington video isn't rendered now (shows red sections), and it's one of the ones that looks good.
    Typically when I create a project I choose Frames for Display Format and HDV for Capture Format. I don't see any differences between the old and new projects.
    I'm supposed to hand out DVDs at school tomorrow, it's the last day so I need help! Thanks

  • 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!

  • Photoshop image size for Premiere Pro CS4 project.

    Bless me folks, for I have sinned, it has been a few years since my last video project and it was done using Premiere 6.  I now have CS4 Production Premium.  In Premiere 6, when I wanted to bring images into the timeline i would create them in photoshop and save them as 720 x 540 bmp files.
    My question is, in Premiere CS4, what size should I make my photoshop files?  I want the final movie to take up most of a wide screen hdtv with a minimal amount of bars at the top and bottom.  I want my images to appear clearly and the text on the images to appear clearly on screen.  I will be creating a dvd and or blu ray, whichever works, and I may eventually want to output the movie for the web as well.
    So ... what new width and height and file type should I use for my photoshop files?  They all need to be the same size because sometimes I use several consecutive photoshop files to show movement on screen because I have not learned how to use after effects yet.
    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the info Dennis.  The reason that the size matters to me is that I want a clear quality picture on the hdtv screen.  And with my primitive jibjab-like moving picture technology, I need each image to be the same size so that things move around the screen exactly where I want.  I know that if I start off with a small image size it will look terrible onscreen, so your 1920 x 1080 suggestion is probably what I am looking for.
    I think i used the bmp format in Premiere 6 for performance reasons, but it sounds like maybe performance using psd files has improved with cs4.
    I appreciate the jump-start.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 won't import still images correctly

    I've about had it with this pile of ****.
    Brand new install of Premiere Pro CS5. When attempting to import still images, random images will show up as other images. i.e. in Windows, I'll have the following:
    one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
    two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
    three.jpg (shows up at three.jpg)
    Once I import them into PPro, I get this:
    one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
    two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
    three.jpg (shows up at one.jpg) <-----
    In other words, three.jpg is named three.jpg in PPro, but when I bring it into a sequence, or view it, it displays the image from one.jpg
    I've tried clearing the media cache, renaming the images, moving them to different directories/drives. Any suggestions? Or should I just get my money back ffs. Thanks for any help.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 confuses images with each other

    Hi Adobe-Community,
    I've got a severe problem, that is holding back my whole project at the moment, and I really hope you can help me with this.
    Premiere regularly confuses the images I have added to my project with each other. So when I am importing 2 images, let's say CIMG5967.JPG and CIMG5974.JPG, by dragging them into my project, two new elements are created. But when I'm putting these elements into my sequence, both appear as the same image, although they are still properly named after their original file.
    Sometimes the very same problem even occurs some days later, so parts of my project, that have already been finished, suddenly appear as if I would have used the same image over and over again.
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - Version 5.0.3
    Using the option to clean up the media-cache-db didn't help.

    Happened to me once - a corrupt project.
    Unlink all the faulty images. 
    Open a new project. 
    IMPORT the old project
    Relink the images.

  • Problem exporting Premiere Pro CS5.5 projects with still photos and h264 video

    I'm a longtime Final Cut Pro user and evaluating Premiere Pro for my workplace before making the switch. I have been running into several problems when I try to export raw h264 video from a Canon 5D combined with still images on a Macbook Pro. Either I receive an error in Premiere Pro saying, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." or Adobe Media Encoder appears to continue exporting (the time elapsed bar continues to move) even though the time remaining stays frozen once it hits a photo it doesn't like. It's not always the same photo.
    I've spent several days trying to troubleshoot the issue, including batch resizing all photos to 1920 wide (to match the video settings), and it hasn't work. The sequence is currently set to render in ProRes 422. I've also tried HDV 1080p30 and MPEG-4. I cannot find any consistency with the errors. Occasionally an export will work, but every couple still photos will look like green static. I've also tried batch converting the photos in Photoshop to PNG and GIF without any luck. I'd include my default export settings but I've pretty much tried it all. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing the error since the message is very vague.
    Couple other notes:
    There's plenty hard drive space available for export
    I can export the DSLR video (h264, 1080p30) without still photos no problem
    I can edit the same still photos and video in Final Cut with no problem
    I have the same problem with auto-save on and off
    I tried re-installing production premium, deleting the preference files and cleaning the media cache - no luck. I also tried exporting under a different user account and it wouldn't work.
    This is driving absolutely crazy. I'm affraid to use PP on deadline because I don't see any issues until it's time to export. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Todd. Your questions were actually very helpful. I'm using a Macbook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. I'm running OS 10.6.8 and have the latest updates installed.
    When I disabled the GPU acceleration, I was able to render and export without a problem. The problem only occured when using the GPU acceleration and mixing h264 with still photos. It also affected both rendered previews and the final export. I'm assuming its a support issue with the graphics cards, but it would be great if you had any other ideas. I appreciate your help.

  • Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello Community:
    I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project.  I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours.  I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
    Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
    Thanks,
    Rich Locus

    Same issue. I previously used  NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
    I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
    I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
    I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
    EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
    EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
    I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
    Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 not responding after 55 minutes of capture with intensity shuttle

    Hi and thank you for the valuable resources on this forum.
    I am capturing analogue video into Premiere Pro CS5 using he Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (with Time Base Corrector in the video path).  My captures are stopping at 54 or 55 minutes when the computer becomes non responsive.  This has happened with the Blackmagic motion jpeg codec as well as the 10 bit YUV capture. Same thing happens if I capture with media express (the blackmagic capture software)
    I have tweaked my system as per many of the recommendations in the forum.

    Firmware and drivers for on board USB latest from Driver Station as per Blackmagic Recommendations.
    Very succesful capture of things shorter than 55 minutes but I have some longer things I would like to capture in one go.
    I have used process explorer to watch what happens.  Nothing special that I can identify in terms of processes but cpu seems to be going to 100%.
    With progessive tweaks the problems remains the same.
    I am not aware of any file size limits with Premire Pro or Blackmagic - are there some?
    Considering reinstall but would greatly appreciate any insights.  My first post so I hope I have provided the right info to help you help me.
    Thank you

    Good that you got it fixed... bridging device drivers have cause problems clear back to the computer version of the stone ages
    I still have a Pinnacle Dv500 card (used via dual-boot with WinXP and Premiere 6x) that went through several device driver versions to get everything working right
    While everything is working right... make a full "picture" of your hard drive to external USB drive to make recovering easy in case something goes wrong
    Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full
    backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step
    backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step
    if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive
    (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a
    restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation
    information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-
    Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to
    make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden
    registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore
    the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
    Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a
    plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a
    hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or
    re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

  • Quicktime 7.71 compatible with Premiere Pro CS5?

    I am having issues importing and exporting a clean movie.  It is showing some interlacing through certain scenes and the titles are jumpy both when they are still and during the roll. I currently have Quicktime V 7.6.8 (1675) and am wondering if I need to update this.  However I was hoping to find out if it was compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.  The Adobe site is so heavily weighted to CS5.5 I did not find anything over there.  Here are the specs for the clip.
    Here are the clips properties.
    Quicktime Movie
    Image Size 720 X 486
    Pixel Depth 24
    Frame Rate 29.97
    Average Data Rate 27.2 MB/second
    Average Frame Rate 29.98 FPS
    Uncompressed 10 bit.
    Thanks for the help.

    Dennis,
    I'm also still on CS2, and the old QT 7.3.5 worked fine with it. I resisted the 7.4.x versions, as they were doing a poor job with so many Adobe products. When 7.5.x came out, I waited, until the field reported. All seemed to be fine, so all of my computers got 7.5.5, and all is great. Though I also have iTunes (on the laptop), I have hesitated to allow any upgrades to take place, regardless.
    There are two new threads on the PrE forum, where 7.6.2 broke PrE, and 7.5.5 "fixed" those user's issues. There have been a couple of QT Player issues here too, and they involved 7.6.2. Do not know if Apple is up to 7.6.3, or not.
    Now, I am a firm believer in not trying to "fix," what ain't broke [SIC]. Unless I can directly benefit from a "feature," I am loathe to just go with the "newest." In most cases, this policy has kept me from having to roll-back, in hopes that I can fix some problem from a new and improved version of X.
    Totally OT for this thread, but do you have any insight on the differences in the Functional Content, i.e. Transistions and Effects, between the Mac and the PC versions of CS4? There have been several threads from Mac-users, and so far no one has had anything but sheer speculation. I don't know if you've seen any of those threads, but if you have any ideas, I'm sure that many Mac-users could benefit from those. [Sorry to go so OT.]
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Performance Issues

    Hi.  I have been using Premiere Pro CS5 5.0.3 for editing videos that I shoot for several years now.  I offload all the video files I shoot from a Canon XHA1 camera from a SanDisk compactflash card to a Drobo S Raid 0 array (all the drives in the Drobo are Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm drives) that I have hooked up (via an eSATA cable).
    This has worked well for me but I have been noticing that I am now getting more dropped frame errors both in the program and source monitors.  I started a new project yesterday:
    General

    Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121)
    Fields: Lower Field First
    and when I imported the footage into Premiere Pro I started getting more dropped frames and sluggish playback as to render Premiere Pro very aggravating.  It is still usable but the situation is growing worse.  Here are my system settings that I dumped from Belarc:

    My question is how do I trouble shoot this problem?  I suspect that my video card is getting old and needs to be replaced but I don't want to buy another one as yet (especially when I don't know if it will solve the problem).

    Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 closes, but process in taskmanager doesn't

    Windows 7, CS5.5.2
    I had this happening to me a few times times, I click the x in the top right corner to close Premiere, it asks me to save my project, I click no and the program seems to close, nothing on the taskbar left either, but it's still there in the taskmanager as a 290MB process.
    I discovered this when Premiere refused to start. Now I'm forced to close the process before I can start Premiere.
    What's causing this?
    It seems that more people had this problem:

    Some had it solved by updating the video driver, but since I already have the latest one (NVidia) I don't see how that's going to solve it. I also have the latest chipset and audio dirvers as of yesterday.

    In one case I waited almost 15 min.
    While I was away I have done some rigorous testing with Microsoft's driver verifier tool, the same tool they use to certify drivers. I have found two issues that I solved by removing two conflicting programs. The last diagnostics run of driver verifier was 100% successful. I also did a rigorous memory test and that didn't show any problems either. As a matter of fact I'm been amazed how stable my system is running for almost 2 years now and trust me, I stress it a lot by running applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, games and even Vmware. It's also not a system that is cluttered with all kind of junk, since I restore an image of the system partition every 3 months or so. The backup only contains the complete installation of my OS and software BEFORE use. A restore of this image before I posted my problem in this forum also didn't solve the issue
    Anyway, after using driver verifier, I tried Premiere Pro again, closed it 3 times after fiddling with some videos and now after the 4th time I close the program I have the same issue as before: the program seems to close, the taskbar is empty, but again the task manager is showing the adobe premiere pro.exe process. That process is now still visible in task manager after  about 10 minutes.
    The only thing I could try now is cancelling all non-Microsoft processes and services and see if the problem still returns. I'm open for any other suggestions.
    Mind you, I could solve this issue by writing a script that kills the process after I leave the program, but:
    a - I don't know if it will do any harm (maybe the process is still saving or updating files)
    b - It just camouflages the issue and I never feel good about that
    EDIT:  I closed all non-Windows processes (as an IT professional I know what I'm looking at), stopped all non-Windows processes and killed the adobe premiere pro.exe process that was still running, I started Premiere Pro fiddled with some videos, closed the program and again....the adobe premiere pro.exe process continues to run....for several minutes now.
    To sum it up: I have the latest bios and drivers for graphics card, audio and chipset. I ran Microsoft driver verifier and managed to run a full final diagnostics without any conflicts, I ran a memory test that didn't show any error, I restored a clean backup of my system partition, I have all the latest updates for both Windows and Adobe software, I even tried running Premiere Pro without running all non- Windows processes and services and the Premiere Pro process still doesn't want to close. I don't run any brand new model video card either, I'm using a 9800GT that has very mature drivers and the card itself was bought brand new only 6 months ago and has not crashed any game so far ( the best test for any video card) or any application that makes use of GPU acceleration, like Photoshop for example, which always runs at OpenGL/normal.

  • Importing mov files in premiere pro cs5

    I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on my machine and now, i have two issues.
    1. I do have the latest quicktime installed but when i try to import *.mov files with audio, only the audio is imported and works fine. the video isn't, but I dont get a dialogue error box.
         A). if the *.mov file has only video, i get a file import failure message saying " the file has no audio or video streams".
    2. the next prob is my dymanic linking does not work.
    Help please

    Im trying something and I hope you can help me. I have two computers, one dedicated to capturing a event and the other I have is dedicated to playback. They share the hard drive via a network. What I want to know is- is there a way for the dedicated playback machine to access a video file that is still being captured by the capturing machine and play back parts of it in a sequence??

    Zone Alarm, eh? I used to use that program, but it got in the way of almost everything that I did, that I canned it completely.
    Glad that removing ZA solved your issue.
    Personally, I find MOV Animation CODEC to be quite good, and use that for a lot of work. Jeff Bellune, here, like the Photo JPEG format, but I have not explored that.
    Good luck,
