What project preset for HD TV PAL ?

Hi,
UK is my location.
Premiere Pro CS3.
HD TV's are 1920 x 1080 resolution.
New project>select a preset, I can see HDV 1080p25 and thats 1440h 1080v. 480 less in width, thats a lot. 25% in fact of a HD TV width.
Does CS4 have a preset for HD TV ?
Likewise I dont see anything near HD Ready, 1366 x 768 is a common HD Ready, the HDV 720p25 preset gives 1280h 720v, I dont see this on any TV resolution charts either.
Why are the presets not the resolutions in use on TV's or on the Wikipedia chart of such http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg ?
What should I be choosing for a HD video making project or HD Ready ?
Would CS4 offer those I need ?

Hi,
Ah...now understood on presets should match original footage. Thanks for that.
In my case though I have only stills and was thinking of making a slide show with also a montage pan .
What would I choose in that situation if aiming to make the video for HD 1920 x 1080 ?...no preset there that match my camera resolution of 3504 x 2336, I dont though see the point of working with 23Mb files as the TV cannot make use of all those pixels, no doubt Premiere will deal with that but such may slow it down during the project. I thought of resampling to suit a preset so hence the quandary again, what preset to use.
I have sussed from surfing the net that 1:1 pixel aspect ratio and progressive will be good for stills.
I have surfed the net for advice on stills and resolutions but not seen anything on this aspect of what project preset to start with. No tutorials either. Grateful to know of any links though to such.

I am trying to determine the new project preset for multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders, main shot is DV (tape) (720x480), b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480), additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080). Film is from a wedding, DV contain

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.

What project preset do I use? AVCHD and DSLR footage being used in same sequence

I am using a Canon DSLR T3i and Panasonic HC-X920. They can both shoot native 24p which is how I will be recording. When I set up my CS6, what project settings should I use? I want to mix the two sources on the same time line so I'm confused on how to do this because on the sequence settings I can only choose either AVCHD or DSLR. I want to do simultaneous multi-camera editing on the same timeline. So its not like I can set up two different sequences with different settings because I want to be able to cut back and forth within the same sequence while using both cameras. (problem is... two different types of footage ).
Thank you - Mark

Thank you so much for your input. Yes, I should have been more specific when it comes to the frame rate; it is indeed 23.976 for the T3i as well as the Panasonic. I have mixed T3i footage recorded at 23.976fps and then tried to mix in a Canon hf-M41 (avchd) camcorder which records in 60i "supposedly". Although Premiere says it is 29.97 when I bring it into the editor. Anyways when I would mix these two formats it looked like crap. The preset was set up for the DSLR and the hf-M41 played like it was in slow motion even upon rendering and exporting. I would get the red line above my M-41 footage because it didn't match the preset settings. I would then render it thinking it would look right but...nope. I just bought the Panasonic HC-X920 today from BandH, it has a 30 day return policy so I will see how the T3i and Panasonic work together within Premiere. I purchased the Panasonic because the Canon M-41 footage looked so crappy when it was mixed with the T3i in the timeline(because of the different fps and interlacing). I used the Adobe Media Encoder but I got the same results of crappy slow motion jittery footage from the M-41 when I tried to convert it to a 23.976fps .MOV file. Since the Panasonic shoots native 23.976, the two "should" work better together. My only concern is the difference in codecs because the frame rate should be identical. I don't want to get that red render bar when I bring the Panasonic footage into the time that was set up for a DSLR or vice versa. If I do I'm afraid of the obtaing the slow motion effect again. I must have the auto focus from a camcorder when I'm shooting on a jib or other tough moving shots like a steadicam.

Which Project preset for Canon 5D Mark 2 ?

Living in Europe I use PAL. But I am not sure if my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) is AVCHD or HDV so I can choose the correct project preset.
Then Full HD 1080i? Or should there be a choice of 1080p for this camera? And finally 5-canal or not?

PRE does not have a 1080p option.
From the specifications (HD 1920 x 1080, MOV (Video: H.264, Sound: Linear PCM) you will need a "AVCHD Full HD 1080i 25" project setting.
I suggest you try with a small clip first to see how good the output is. Note that the Internet has many sob stories about using 5D video footage.
If you don't need to do too much with the file you could try QuickTime Pro - others post here saying that this is a great tool for .MOV files. I think you can also use QuickTime Pro to convert to a more PRE friendly format, perhaps other 'regulars' could comment.
Cheers,

Best preset for Canon HF11 (PAL)

Hi.
I'm just wondering what the best preset is when working with footages taken from the Canon HF10/HF11 (PAL)? I'm currently using one of the preset for AVCHD Flashbased camcorders - is this OK or is it better if I create a new preset for the Canon HF-series camcorders?
Thanks in advance.
Stein

Using the PAL AVCHD preset should be fine... just be sure to select the correct one. I beleive the HF11 is 1920x1080 resolution so you need the "FULL HD 1080i" AVCHD preset... you also need to use the appropriate audio preset... 5.1 if you are recording with 5.1 audio.

Project Presets For Editing .mov 720P

Hello, I have Drift Inovations 170HD Stealth that I would like to edit in PE11. The camera specs show that it records 1080P and 720P in .mov (h.264) format. What would be the best Project Setting for that?
Thanks!
DAVE

Dave,
That was very good news.
For the 720p25, 720p30, and 720p60, I would look at:
For 720p60
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p60
(Refer to details in screenshot below)
For 720p30
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p60
(but in this case, you are going to go under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and change the frame rate from 60 to 30.
Refer to details in screenshot below)
For 720p25
Publish_Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p60
(but in this case, you are going to go under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and change the frame rate from 60 to 25.
Refer to details in screenshot below)
720p60
720p30
720p25
The choice of 59.94 vs 60 and 29.97 vs 30 often depends of details from your camera. But see how you do with the suggested settings.
Thanks.

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.

Project settings for working with ProRes

What project preset do I have to use when importing ProRes422 1080i50?
Its just for the optical flow feature.
Tnx

hi,
if you load the clips into fcp and then do a Send to Motion, it should create a project with the correct settings. cant remember what they are off the top of my head, but they're not called prores in motion.

Project Preset to use with m2t files in CS4

I capture HD video from my Sony HDR-HC9 using the Sony capture utility. The Sony capture utility can divide the capture into datestamp clips, while Premiere Capture just does it as one file (If I am wrong about this please let me know).
I want to know what project preset I should use with these files. I want to edit HD at the best fidelity possible since I want to be able to export to various media types from DV mpg (for my cable access shows), youtube, DVD, and blue ray.
I just bought a Sony VPC-F1190X with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 installed. So far it works beautifully with the m2t files with the HDV 1080i30(60i) preset or with the ACH-I 100 1080i60.

AVCHD Project Preset Questions

I have video from a Canon HF10 (PF30) and Panasonic DMC-ZS3 (AVCHD 1280*720) that I would like to process and eventually combine into a single 1920*1080p AVC or MPEG2 file using PrE. Interspersed through this video will also be photo slideshows (1920*1080) and I'd like to use PrE all of the processing except that to downsize the photos. I'm envisioning my workflow will include several steps that will process the diverse content into intermediate files that I will eventually combine into the final product. What project presets should I use for the HF10, DMC-ZS3, and slideshows? What is the best intermediate file format?
Thanks in advance.

I would not recommend mixing formats in the same project. The best solution is to create an AVCHD project 1080 project for your HF10 video and then do an output from that, then create a 720p project (only version 8 has this project preset) and output the same video format from that. Once you've output the same format from each project, you can combine them with your still photos to create your project.
Which video format you output depends on what your final video will be. If you are creating a DVD, your outputs should be 720x480 AVIs. If you are creating a BluRay disc, your outputs should be 1440x1080 MPEGs.
To create a DVD from your parts, mix your output videos and your photos in a standard DV project.
To create a BluRay from your parts, mix your output videos and your photos into an HDV project.

How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
Thanks!
Matt

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
Thanks for the help!
FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

What sequence preset is the best for me?

Hey, i don't know what squence preset with is the best for me to get the best quality.
I using "Fraps" to record stuff from my computer.
I'm using a 42" LED Tv with the resolution: 1920x1080 .
Also, i tried to use the DV - PAL sequence preset but then the quality was really bad and it didnt fit in the window that show's the clip as you edit it (i don't know the name of the little window)
I would be really happy if you could help me with this questions.

1080 50P PAL preset for MOV files recorded with the Panasonic GH3

Dear Adobe team and PE11 users,
With my Panasonic GH3 I'm recording 1080 50P MOV files. I bought this camera because the mov compression is much more easier to edit then AVCHD. There is already a solution for the (non english) premiere elements 11 software with a preset for 50P AVCHD files but I can't find any discussion about MOV files. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution (with a MOV 50p PAL preset). Untill now PE11 recognise the 50p files as HDV 1080 25i files in the project settings...
best regards,
arjan

What is the presets for creating NTSC_ Widescreen DVDs?

I have footage that is 1920x1080/60p and 1920x1080/60i that I will combine into one project to edit. First off, what project setting should I be using? I will be creating Blu-ray and DVDs. The Blu-ray quality looks great. BUT the DVD quality is not good at all. I understand I will be getting loss of quality creating DVDs, but not that much. When creating DVDs what is the preset for NTSC_ Widescreen_Dolby DVD? When saving a file to computer - NTSC_ Widescreen, it has an advanced option where you can change the settings to get better quality. I am using Elements 12. Will this advanced feature be added to creating DVDs in the next version?

Erma
Thanks for the reply.
12.1 Update was released by Adobe for Premiere Elements 12 around March 2014. It's obvious fix is related to the text styles issue specific to the Expert workspace. There are supposed be other perks.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/03/pe12-update-121-released.html
This update is free and is accessed only from within the opened project, using Help Menu/Update.
If history repeats itself, Adobe should be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements at the end of September 2014. No one but Adobe knows the feature set, and that type of information is released by it only at the moment of release of the new version. In the past, after the new version release, Adobe has announced its policy with regard to going to the new version from a recent purchase of the version that the new version replaces.
For a mixed timeline, I want to edit only one time and save to Blu-ray and
DVD. Which project preset Full HD1080i30 or AVCHD 1080p60 would be best?
DVD-VIDEO and the Field Order of interlaced frame rates are the concern. Do a mini test run to determine which works for you. DVD-VIDEO uses Field Order = Lower Field First. Your 1080i30 does not. It uses Upper Field First. And, there is my moment of pause. Contrast.... If the destination is Blu-ray, your interlaced source is going from and to an Upper Field First.
The project preset should be set to match the properties of the source media. There again the matter of priorities.
But, when it comes to export and you have a choice of 1440 x 1080 HD Anamorphic 16:9 vs 1920 x 1080 16:9, go with the 1920 x 1080 16:9 which will not depend on a 16:9 flag to stretch the video to 1920 x 1080 16:9. Some players have problems with the 16:9 flag to stretch the 1440 x 1080 4:3 to 1920 x 1080 16:9.
Not sure what you mean by
Do you know what is the preset for NTSC_ Widescreen_Dolby DVD?
When you burn your Timeline to DVD-VIDEO widescreen on a DVD disc, NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD is the preset that you select in the burn dialog.
That will give you your Timeline in NTSC DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc (720 x 480 16:9 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second). In this case, the 16:9 flag stretches the video to about 856 x 480 for display after encoding. You cannot customize that preset.
Not sure where you are going on this
NTSC_Widescreen for saving to computer has advanced options, where you can
change quality 3 up to 5? Interlaced or progressive?. CBR? lower/higher
VBR, 1 pass or 2 pass?
No matter what file you send through the Premiere Elements Publish+Share burn to with the NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD setting, you are always going to get the same results (export properties) of the present
720 x 480 16:9 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second). In this case, the 16:9 flag stretches the video to about 856 x 480 for display after encoding.
If you want to export your Timeline content to a file saved to the computer hard drive, you can use the Publish+Share/Computer/ Advanced settings. But, then you need to decide on your playback opportunities related to the specifications of the player.
Please review and then we can work through the details.
Thanks.
