Trouble matching project settings to clip settings - CS5

I want to edit a clip I shot on my Canon Vixia HF200 camcorder in 1080p. The camcorder's manual, Windows Explorer, and Premiere Pro all indicate the dimensions of the clip are 1920 x 1080. This is how I set up my project (with a custom preset as I can't find a standard one like this for some reason; why are all the 1080 presets only 1440 wide?). When I preview the clip in the program monitor, however, it displays with black bars on the sides. I've included a screen grab showing the clip in the program monitor and in Windows Media Player. If I change the settings to 1440 x 1080, the bars go away, suggesting the clip is actually 1440 wide, not 1920. Why the conflicting behavior? I.e., why does Premiers recognize the clip as 1920 wide in the project panel but not fill out the prorgram monitor with the clip when using 1920 wide project settings?

Premiere has losts of standard presets for avchd like the one shown below.

When I set for batch capture by creating off-line clips using the "Log Clip" option the off-line clip shows audio as
32KHZ 16-bit everyting else is correct as project settings.
Just prior to creating the off-line batch capture clip I had sucessfully captured from the same device using the same tape shot with the above settings including 48khz 16-bit audio by using standard " Capture" by setting in & out then clicking Capture>In/Out.
I've looked at capture settings etc...unable to determine to change audio settings etc or why the audio settings under batch capture do not conform to project settings...
Any ideas?
Tnx,

Thanks for your reply, Harm....
Well now...having negated all the possibilities you listed, I decided to do a an actual batch capture with clips which I previously logged which reported audio at 32kHz instead of the project setting of 48kHz:
1. two clips were selected from the same device/tape ( both selected from the logging util which erroneously reported audio at 32kHz) for the batch
2. both clips captured "flawlessly"
3. both clips after the batch capture then reported audio as being 48kHz
Btw, I also did a batch capture from the same device/tape in Pr 6.x...and it reported and captured at 48khz...I must say, I must prefer the legacy version of Pr 6 for batch capture which creates a log .pbl file which can then be easily exported as a csv to and .xls etc..IMO, much more useful...and useable..

So it would appear there is some kind of bug in the Pr cs4 batch capture util that is erroneously reporting audio settings?
Should this go to the devel as a possible bug?
Tnx,

Trouble with project settings

I am trying set up a project (tutorial) that requires DVC PRO HD 720p24. When I set up in project properties and go back to check it changes to p30. I have tried this on both my desktop & lMacbook Pro with the same results. I am using vers. 2.12. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jeff

With PrE, the workaround would be to Export your Video as 1920 x 1080, and use such an HD Preset.
PrE has limited Presets, though PrE 9 did add more, and a few enterprising individuals have had pretty good success in writing their own. Programs, like PrPro, have a special Preset, the Desktop Preset, which allows one to adjust most of the parameters of a Project, or Sequence (from CS3 through CS5). That allows one to use non-standard Frame Sizes, etc.
Good luck,

Output format does not match project settings

I'm a 3d animator creating a personal demo reel. I want to create a quicktime movie.
1) create a new project, DV NTSC (720x480).
2) import source material (QT movies and TIF's) that are 720x480.
3) export using compressor set to a 720x480 format (eg DV NTSC 4:3).
4) Problem: the exported quicktime comes out at 640x480, and the contents are visibly stretched.
Why?
What should I set my project to?
What format does my source material need to be in before import?
What should I set compressor to at export?
I have tried setting the project to 640x480, but then found that I need to scale my source material to 720x480, otherwise it appears stretched in the exported movie.
Thanks!

I'd like to do two things 1) quicktime movie that I can put online, and 2) dvd.
Say I have a TIF still image. It's 720x480. I want to export that out of FCP and watch it in QuickTime Player. I guess my question is how do I make the result in QT Player look the same as it did in FCP?
I just tried setting the pixel aspect ratio to 0.9 in Photoshop, but got the same result.
Will I need to have two completely different FCP projects, one for online and one for dvd?
(yes, the exported file did look the same when I brought it back into FCP)

You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

Show match sequence settings in clip dialog premiere 5.5 where?

I am working in Premiere Pro 5.5 and I purposely made the Sequence 4:3 and 29.97 frames per second to test something out.
With the sequence at 4:3, I imported some HD DSLR clips into my bin. Of course this foothe is a much higher resoultion and the frame tare is 23.976 Frames Per Second not 29.97 FRames as is the sequence.
I add my clip to the sequence and it's supposed to ask me if I want to match the clips settings to the sequence. If I say yes, the sequence is supposed to change to 23.976 FPS and the Video is also supposed to match the clips video settings as well.
When I put my clip down, the box does not come up asking me if I want to change my sequence settings to the clip.
Why not?
Is there a box where I can check "show match sequence settings in clip dialog?"
If so, where is it?
If not, How can I get the box to come up when the clip does not match the sequence settings so I can check Yes.
Thanks in Advance

Will compound clips honor the project settings?

Hi,
When I created my compound clips I created then from proxy files at 2K. Now I have gone through all the compound clips and replaced the proxy files with the master 4K files, but to my horror I have discovered that the clips all have individual clip settings, which remain at their old proxy dimensions (2K). Furthermore I have been unable to edit the clip settings for multiple clips (I don't welcome spending my night going through all 300 clips again!).
My project is set to 4K and render type as Prores 4444; if I drop the clips on the timeline, will they honor the project settings or will they remain 2K?
I don't really get what this behavior is for. Wouldn't you want all the clips in a project to render to the same format?

As Tom asks, how did you manage to work with 2K proxies that are not linked?
If you import the 4K masters into FCPX and ask it to generate proxies, you can swap back and forth, automatically!
Preferences: Playback: Playback settings..
If you've done the proxies manually, you have to manually change them..

Trouble chosing 24fps in project settings

I'm having trouble changing the project settings in PE7. My video was shot using a canon Vixia HF S10, and was shot in 1920 x 1080 at 24fps. PE7 will only allow me to chose from one of the presets. When I open the dialog box to try to change the settings the fields won't let me make any changes.
Here is a screen shot...
As you can see (maybe) the fields where I would change the setting to 24fps is greyed in. The only one I can change is the Display Format and it does not have a choice for 24fps.

You can download and install the custom project presets for Canon progressive camcorders. It will give you a 24fps project preset. It is intended for PPro2 but works in Premiere Elements:

Project settings - few file formats are involved

Hi,
I would like to create a project that combines few file formats:
- AVCHD (.m2ts) files taken by Panasonic HDC-TM700 at 1920x1080i and downloaded from the camera by Panasonic's HD writer AE 2.1
- MP4 files taken by GOPRO Hero HD at 1920x720
- Stills
Videos are PAL. I'm using PE9
What settings should I use for this project?
What settings should I use for an export file to be played on a computer?
Thanks

As I've written about pretty extensively on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com, you definitely should NOT combine a number of video formats in the same project. It only leads to trouble.
You should be able to set up a project for that AVCHD 1920x1080 video. And you can load the photos in there is they're sized to no larger than 2000x1500 pixels and you've gone to Edit/Preferences and unchecked the option to Scale to Frame Size.
But if you try to add that GoPro footage to the project, it could lead to problems.
It's worth a try, of course. But it's a very different format. And, if you start having problems with your project, it will likely be the culprit.
Ideally, when your project settings match your footage, there will be NO red lines above the clips on your timeline until you add effects to them. That's a good test to see if you've chosen the right AVCHD project settings.
But, once you do see red lines above your clips (and you will always see red lines above photos!) be sure to render yoru timeline by pressing the Enter key. The red lines will turn green. As long as you keep green lines above your clips, the program should perform well.

Premiere Element 9 Project-settings...

Hello everyone,
I have some trouble with the project settings ( I hope its the right term, because my programm is in German).
I don't know which setting to use with my video files captured with fraps.
Video clip details:
1600*838
29 fps
.avi
bit rate: 480794 kBit/s
Audio: sample rate: 44Khz
Channels: 2 (stereo)
I didn't find any setting fitting to my video file, and when I choose one which fits partly I can't change the settings (for instance the frame size).
In addtion to that, my video files are blurred in the prewiew and also when the file is exported....
Thank you very much for your help

Well, with that odd Frame Size, about the best that you can do is to choose 1920 x 1080, Import your FRAPS footage into that Project, and then, either leave the black bars, or Scale up your Footage (Default Scale to Frame Size will do that, or you can use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale and possibly Motion>Position, if necessary). Scaling WILL reduce the quality, but you might be able to live with that. Only you can know.
Now, in PrPro, one CAN Customize the Frame Size to match odd footage, but that is an entirely different program, and not inexpensive.
Good luck,
Hunt

I film with an iPhone and edit in PE10, what project settings would be best?

     So I'm filming a short film with my iPhone 4S, and editing in PE10. The recommended project setting for the iPhone 4S's footage is 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97'. However, I film using an App called FilmicPro, which allows me to customize frames per second, resolution and audio capture with some settings. In my case, I've set the app to film at 30fps and with a resolution of 1920x1080. I still use the above mentioned project setting. So my first question is:
-If I'm filming in 1080x190 at 30fps, is there a different setting I should be using for the project?
     Now for the second part. The first part of my editing process is I start a project, select 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97', then I splice and string together the raw footage from FilmicPro like normal. Next I export the project with the settings:
Quicktime (For email and playback on Mac)
Output: 1920x1080, 29_97fps, Progressive, Quality 100 48000hz, Mono, H.264
Source: Clip, Sequence 01,
               1280x720 (1.0), 29_97 fps, Progressive, *insert duration*, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Audio Codec: AAC
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz Mono
Video Codec: H.264
Field Type: Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
Render at Max. Depth: 24 bit
     After I export the project, I start another project (not changing the project settings from before), and then I import the finished project as media so I can add special FX (in this case muzzle flashes, blood, etc.). However when I add the video, PE10 states the project settings dont match, and asks if I'd like the program to choose the correct settings. I select yes. This changes the project settings to 'DSLR-1080p-DSLR 1080p30'. I edit without issues, and use the same export settings as I did for the base draft. I also notice when I view the project settings in the second project after it changes settings, that it says the editing mode is now 'Sony XDCAM EX 720p'. So my second question is:
-Should I use the setting that PE10 switches to? Or select 'No' and still use the Flip Mino setting i used for the first draft?
     The end video still looks great (for an iphone), although of course there is still noise. I'm basically trying to get the absolute best quality possible. If this is as good as it gets, and It turns out ive been doing this right, then that's fine. But if anyone can recomend better settings to use, then please tell. Thanks.
Forgot to mention, I'm using an unmodified MacBook Pro (2006) with Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Dont know if that info is needed, but thought I'd include it.

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?

What Project Settings to Use?

Hi,
I am very new to this program and would like to put together a movie using video clips taken from my iPhone. When complete, it will need to be saved as an FLV for web viewing. What settings should I use when I create a new project in PrE12? Also, I want to insert slides in between clips. If I create them in PhotoShop or Illustrator, what dimensions should they be if I want them to be the same dimensions as the video clips? Thanks for any help!

HapJax
Premiere Elements 12, like version 11, takes over setting the project preset (project settings) based on the properties of first drag to the Expert workspace Timeline. If that project preset set by the program matches the properties of your source file, then you should have no colored line over the the Timeline content (as the first drag to that Timeline).
Sometimes the program does that OK, sometimes not. If not, then you set the project preset manually yourself based on the file properties that you know before importing media into the project. When the program does not do it right, it does not give you the closest to what it should be but rather its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart.
Now here is the bottom line here...if you let the program set the project preset for you and you get an orange line over its content, you do not render the Timeline to get the best possible preview. You set the project preset manually according to the properties of the source media and then move on as indicated above.
Once you start editing your video (working in a project set with the correct project setting), you will get an orange line over the edited content - program telling you that you need to render the content to get the best possible preview. The time for "rendering" for preview purposes according to the color indicator system is after edits, not after the first drag to the timeline.
That is my take on the situation.
If clarification on anything that I have written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

A question about project settings..FCP 7

I am using FCP 7 and I'm a little overwhelmed with the myriad of project settings options.
I use a Canon T3i and film in full HD (1920x1080 i think). All my footage I transcode in compressor to Apple ProRes 422 before importing to FCP projects.
I installed another computer and reinstalled FCP 7 and lost my old templates and importing some footage, I get the red line indicating unrendered footage.
Is there a standard setting that Compressor and FCP use to make it easy to just transcode, import, and edit? I'd like all my projects to look the best possible in full HD and there's hundreds of preset project settings and I'm a little unfamiliar with all the options.
Anyone have any quick tips, pointers, or thoughts?

If you drop a clip into the timeline, it means the sequence settings don't match the clip settings. Make a new sequence, add the clip. FCP should ask "do you want the sequence to match the clip settings?" Click YES. If you don't see that, you might need to trash your preferences...or it might be an older version that doesn't support ProRes formats (FCP 5.1 and earlier).
Another way is to choose an EASY SETUP that matches your clip settings, and then make a new sequence.
And your camera shoots 1920x1080p...not i.

Project Settings

I have done several projects before but just purchased Premier 12 and am learning more and more. That said I am finding that for some of the features that I want to do what I have my project set for is critical, so this is what I am taking pictures with, I have a Nikon Coolpix S 9100 and have it set for HD 1080 30 P (1920X1080) In doing some research and reading I am finding that Premier 12 automatically presets my project to fit the media that I import, am I correct in assuming that? So with that said I am doing a project and it set my project for NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080 i 30. Before I add my images I edit my photos in Photoshop, I crop the photo usually to a 5x7 with a resolution of 150 thus giving me a 1050x750 image So all of that said these are my questions:
Should I be editing my photos in a different format size? (I did a test project and changed it to a 2000 x 1500) but than some of my photo on the time line was outside of the "safe margin" perimeter and wondering if at that higher resolution that I might run into crash issues as I tend to have allot of photos in a project)
What should my Capture Format be at? (Right now it is at HDV)
Under Video Rendering should I check the box Maximum Bit Depth?
In the new project set up should I check force selected project settings?
I know that I am asking allot but it seems like the more projects that I undertake the more questions that I have. Thank you for you support and help

hello
I'd open a clip in quicktime player and check video track in movie properties to see what codec is being used then set my easy setup to match. did you inherit the project as a project? if so in the browser you can find frame size compresser and number of audio tracks and audio sample rate for each piece of media in their rtespective columns. Use the appropriate settings on you3r system/ Hopefully you didn't inherit the project cause it was messed up.
