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!

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.

  • What project settings and export settings to use ?

    So, after some trial and error i give up and need some huge help. (7.0 Pro)
    I have recorded some footage through a game running at 1920:1200 resolution. So the question is what project settings should i choose under project, look at the picture below for example. Some times i get a large black area around the finished video, while one time it came out as a 4:3 vid....
    http://bildr.no/view/468733
    Further more, when i am done editing i want to export it uncompressed to the disk in the same format 1920:1200 (which is 16:10). Which settings should i then choose?
    http://bildr.no/view/468734
    Thx for any help you might be able to provide. Btw! Basically, what i want is just plain editing, no cropping of edges, resizing etc, i just want to take the raw video, edit it, and make a new file out of it with the same properties as the raw vid (source).

    Your pixel aspect ratio and field order are wrong. You want PAR set to "square pixels" and field order set to "Progressive (None)". Do the same for your export settings.

  • URGENT project settings to use when creating broadcast quality television

    Hi,
    What project settings do I use to create broadcast quality television in a widescreen format. Note I use a mac book and also I'm in NZ so we use PAL. I'm only using animation and still pictures so haven't got any video to import.
    I work for a charity museum and my boss has asked me (last minute) to make the ad as we have no money for a professional studio. I'm used to making videos for exhibits only.
    Many thanks
    Amy

    Use the PAL DV Widescreen preset.

  • What compression settings to use from finalcut4.5HD to quicktime to toast?

    I've been looking thru the forums and there are a lot of questions pertaining to this issue but I'm still having issues so here goes again...:)
    I'm trying to burn quicktime movie files that I created in Final Cut 4.5HD onto a data dvd. When the files are created and played from the computer, they play fine. But when I burn them onto a DVD, a few of them are really jerky in motion and sometimes the video stops while the audio keeps going. I've been reading on Apple's forum that it may have to do with the compression or the data rate at which the file is created from FinalCut. Any suggestions on what export settings to use out of Final Cut?
    I tried using - File - Export - Quicktime Movie (setting: current settings...include: audio & video...make movie self-contained)...created a .mov file but it was large and jerky on the data dvd when burned...
    I also tried using the - File - Export - Quicktime Conversion option as well with different variations of the settings...(i.e. quicktime movie/mpeg-2/mpeg-4 with different compression types (dv/dvcpro-ntsc/none/video/mpeg-4/animation), key frames, compressor quality, etc)...The only thing I wasn't sure about was the data rate (i.e. automatic or restrict to?....and if I use the 'restrict to' what's a good amount?).......i
    I have played around w/ these settings and still get jerky motion when played on a data dvd...the only ones that played correctly were the ones created thru the mpeg-2 format setting but these were .m2v files and are separated from the audio .aiff files...(the person getting the file needs the format in .mov format)...
    My purpose for these particular exports are to create relatively small but good quality quicktime files that someone else can take and post on the web
    I would also like to know what settings I should use if I wanted to 'backup' files for archival purposes in case I needed to go back and use the footage for editing purposes (in this case, file size the normal 720x480).
    I'm using quicktime player 7.04 basic (not pro)
    I'm using Toast 7 to burn the files. Just been dragging the files onto the Data Tab - Mac & PC format.
    Thanks in advance!

    Just use the movie project file in Toast, it is DV and Toast will transcode it to MPEG-2 when authoring the DVD. DOn't encode to a lossy format before Toast as Toast makes MPEG-2 which is lossy enough already without two compression cycles.
    You also don't use Toast to just burn a data disc as playback of a very high bitrate QT file might be more than the DVD can deliver.
    Use the Toast video tab, DVD video button and add the movie project to the drop area or select from the media browser. Read the Toast manual as well.
    For backup - export the project to a fresh DV tape or store the raw DV files on a external hard disk - do not compress it to some QT format and expect it to be "archival" footage to re-edit later - it will look terrible ( and while some people think encoding it to H264 is a way around this - it isn't and takes a ton of time to encode to H264 anyway).
    $5 DV tapes are the best backup in addition to a 2nd hard disk.

  • What project settings should I choose in PE8 for frame rate of 29.97 if camera source unknown?

    Hi, I would like to know what project settings to choose in premiere elements 8 for a frame rate of 29.97, pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333 and 1440x1080?  Should I choose HDV, AVCHD or hard disk?  I didn't record the footage, so I'm not sure what it was recorded on.

    I am definately selecting NTSC - HDV, HDV, 1080I30.  I then import the video. It shows in the project media - properties as 29.97 frame rate and in the interpret footage it also shows as 29.97.  But when it finishes indexing and starts to conform the video is changes to 25 frame rate. 
    Please see images below.  When importing the video it is at a frame rate of 29.97 until the indexing has finished, then it changes to 25 before conforming video
    IMAGE 1. Project settings
    IMAGE 2.  Indexing image.  frame rate at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 3. Properties while indexing video - 29.97 fps
    IMAGE 4.  Interpret footage - still while indexing at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 5.  Finished indexing changes to 25 fps and starts to conform video?

  • 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.

    Why? Where did the 720p30 come from?
    If you have 720p30 footage, you should be using
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD LITE 720p30
    If that is what you have, do you really want to export that as 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720?
    If an export of 1280 x 720, please look at
    Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p30

  • What Video Settings to use in Premiere before adding to Presenter

    I am editing several videos in Adobe Premiere and will then add them to a presentation with Adobe Presenter.  What video settings do you suggest (frame size, codec, container, frame rate, etc.) for use with Presenter. 
    thanks!

    good call, turns out it's not exporting at 500x375 like I tell it to. Instead, it exports to 640x480. The .fla document size is 500x375... yet when I go to quicktime export settings, it says 550x400. And when it finishes export, it's 640x480. huh??
    well, I guess I can make my premiere project 640x480, not going to matter much when the final product is 320x240. I just can't figure out why it insists on exporting to 640x480

  • What PDF settings are used when creating DPS articles?

    When you create a PDF file using Acrobat Distiller or InDesign you can modify settings such as font subsets, image down-sampling and compression which will have an impact on the final file size. Does anyone know what settings are used when articles are rendered in PDF format in DPS and can the settings be modified? Specifically, what type of compression is applied to images? If I were to place two images on a page, a png and a jpg with medium quality, would they be embedded in the PDF as is or re-compressed in another format and/or level of quality?

    Thanks for your help.
    So images placed in an InDesign retain their original file format and are unzipped when the article is loaded in the app.
    I'm assuming that if compression is applied to the original image files it can have an impact on performance. If you were to use jpeg files in a document they would need to be unzipped and decompressed. I've read other forum posts that suggest the iOS jpeg decompression engine is too slow to present a fluid user experience in a DPS app. The combined processing time of unzipping and decompressing jpegs files may steer me towards the png format.

  • What project settings to I need for stop motion animation in elements 10 for youtube

    I wanted to export a short (no more than 60sec) stop motion animation using approx 40 hi res photos (3888x2592px) we took and then upload this to youtube.
    Does anyone have any suggestions of project settings I wanted it to be 1920x1080 but not sure of the frame rate and other settings.
    Whether I choose NTSC or PAL doesn't make any difference to youtube does it, I'm currently in Peru so I'm wondering if it's probably better to use NTSC.
    Gracias
    Sally

    I completely agree with Steve, and especially on Scaling the Still Images in Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements, prior to Import. This article goes into more detail, and has steps for batch-processing an entire folder of Stills: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2200755#2200755
    When I do Stop-Motion, I like to do a small test with a few of my Images first. I usually decide on between 3 - 10 frames, but that choice is based on the "look" that I want, with those particular Images. It just depends.
    Steve make a great point, and I want to reinforce it - when you do decide on the Duration, that suits your purposes, be sure to set the Stills Default Duration, BEFORE you Import all of your Stills into the Project.
    Good luck, and when you have uploaded to YouTube, please add a link to it, in this thread, so we can all see it.

  • Ihave a virgin super hub and would like to know what firewall settings to use?

    I have a Virgin Media Super hub and would like to know what firewall settings to put it on, low, medium or high or whether it makes any difference? I am trying to make my network and Mac as secure as possible and need help, i've always had PCs.

    The Mac operating system has very good firewall built-in to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> File Sharing.
    That said, if your hub has 802.11g or higher WiFi, be sure to use WPA2 security, and see if there are settings to prevent ping attacks.
    If your hub is only ethernet, find out what settings to ues to prevent ping attacks.
    802.11b WiFi is fairly insecure, and you are better to use ethernet instead, if that's all it provides.

  • What scan settings to use when creating multipage pdf for best opening speed.

    Example: A four page text pdf created directly from my Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner is 193 kb.  It opens quickly and perfectly on my iMac.  Opening it on my iPad in iBooks, it takes awhile, and when I turn pages, there's a blank page at first, and then it slowly fills in.
    Now,  much larger pdf's that I create in Photoshop and InDesign open quickly and perfectly in iBook on my iPad.  What gives?  Any suggestions?  Thanks, Tom

    Hi!  The previous answer is right on, just wanted to add that the reason that larger PDFs from Photoshop or InDesign might open faster is that they are likely text-based.  If your particular project allows for it, you could use the OCR features of Acrobat to extract the text from a scanned page, which would ultimately result in a smaller PDF, which would open faster on your device.  See this page for some more information on this process: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/convert-jpeg-scan-ocr-to-pdf.html  Hope this helps!

  • My browser does not remember history no matter what privacy settings I use. What's wrong?

    Windows XP

    Hi!
    Have you checked this article? [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If so, can you be a little bit more specific? What does happen when you have "Remember history" activated? When is the information deleted, etc. Is it after closing Firefox? After restarting your computer? Is it your personal computer or is it a work computer? Are you the administrator of the computer? The more information you give us the easier will be for us to give yo a precise answer.

  • What DNS settings to use in server setup with a time capsule

    I have a mac mini and am to install leopard server on it for our office.
    i think the standard install is for me...small business needing filesharing and vpn access only. We have outsourced exchange which i'm probably going to keep, and also an outsourced web server.
    I had a trial run at install and came across some problems (clients couldn't use vpn or ichat) so thought I better check my assumptions with you experts!
    i presume DHCP will be run by the time capsule, and 5 or 6 macbooks will share the broadband connection. Got to the 'Network address pane' and it had an IP and subnet assigned by the time capsule (10.0.2.2, 255.255.255.0).
    I clicked next and got the 'network names' pane...maybe this is where i went wrong...I set primary DNS name as macserver.[mycompany].com and the computer name as Mac Server.
    I went through the rest of the set up...added some users and file sharing is all work fine. Client machines auto set up via directory utility
    PROBLEMS:
    iChat says it cannot connect due to mac server ...something to do with ssl
    VPN says internet connection problem
    i can access internet from clients and server machine; can file share no problem.
    There is something obvious that I am missing...

    iChat says it cannot connect due to mac server ...something to do with ssl
    It would help if you quoted the actual error message, rather than some vague reference.
    The chances are it's complaining about the SSL certificate that the server is using - it probably doesn't match the server name. There are many reasons for this, but the upshot is that you need an SSL certificate that is valid for the hostname that users use to connect to the server with.
    So if you're using 'ichat.mycompany.com' as your iChat server name, you will need a SSL certificate for 'ichat.mycompany.com'. Or you'll need to turn off SSL.
    You can manage SSL certificates via Server Admin.
    VPN says internet connection problem
    I assume this is remote clients trying to connect to the server, right?
    Have you setup all the port forwarding rules in the router to allow incoming VPN connections to get routed to the server?

  • 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 Premiere Pro (CS6) project settings should I be using?

    Hi there
    I am currently trying to use Premiere Pro CS6 to edit a Skype video call I recorded using Super Tintin, and I'm not sure what project settings I should l be using.
    At the moment I am selecting HDV/HDV1080i25 (50i) when I set up the project, but when I come to add the video file to the project timeline, I am told that the file settings do not match the sequence settings and I am prompted to either change the settings, or keep the existing ones.
    When I select 'keep existing settings' the video appears in a very small box in the centre of a large black screen, which obviously isn't what I'm looking for. When I select 'change sequence settings', however, the video fills the screen, which is great, but the video and audio are out of synch (when I play the file outside of CS6, they are in synch). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
    If it helps, here is some info regarding the file I'm currently working with:
    MP4, 9MB
    Frame width: 320
    Frame height: 240
    Frame rate: 14 frames/second
    Data rate: 529 kbps
    Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.

    Select a New Sequence
    Select any preset in a folder Mobile & Devices
    go to the Setting tab
    Set the parameters of the video and audio to your video file appropriately.
    Save the preset under any convenient name.
    create a sequence based on your preset.
    Enjoy.
