What sequence settings should I use with multiple formats?

I'm starting a new project in CS6 that's using multiple types of video.  I've got old camcorder video from 20 years ago...as well as digital video...and current HD video.  I want all the video in the sequence to output as full screen.  So do I need to use the 720 x 480 settings to accommodate the old camcorder video?  Or will that mess up my new HD stuff?  Thanks.

First you need to force Premiere to interpret the camcorder files as widescreen. So highlight all the camcorder files from the project panel, right-click and select Modify -> Interpret Footage. Then change the pixel aspect ratio to "D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121)".
Next you need to upscale the camcorder files to the HD project window size. So after you drop them on to your timeline... highlight one or more of them, right-click and select "Scale to Frame Size".
Finally you may want to fine tune it to remove edge artifacts or borders. There's a few ways to do this but the quickest would be to just slightly increase the Scale settings in the effects control panel. Once you have a good look, you can just copy and paste the scale settings to all the other clips on the timeline.
Alternatively, you can use Red Giant Instant HD to do the up-scaling as I'm sure it do a much better job.

  • What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

    I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only.  I have two questions:
    1.  What should I use for the sequence settings?  Should I edit with a HD sequence setting? 
    2.  I am going to scan the pics myself.  What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality?  I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

  • What eq settings should i use for my ipod touch if i am using a car cassette cd adapter

    i have found a cheaper way to listen to my ipod touch in my new 1999 cadillac catera is to use a casette adapter that you would use if you wanted to use a portable cd player in a car (although mine already has a cd player in it)
    however my problem is that the audio for coming out of the speakers sounds a but tinny, and rough, i tried to use the eq settings (treble booster) and sound check to alevate the problem, and while it is marginally bettter now, the audio still sounds very rough and tinny
    my question to all you apple experts is that if someone wanted to use a car cd casette adapter with their ipod touch, what audio settings does he/she need to use in order to make it sound right (meaning just like if you were using speakers at home or your headphones)

    The appropriate MPEG2-DVD preset should suffice.

  • What LDAP schema should I use with JMQ 2.0?

    I've just downloaded the JMS 2.0 beta for Solaris and trying to set up a admin objects store with LDAP server (NES 4.12). However I cannot find a LDAP schema file to import into the LDAP server in your release. Would it be possible to send me a copy?

    As far as I know, you don't need to import any LDAP schema into
    Netscape Directory Server 4.12 (I assume this is what you
    are using) to store the administered objects.
    Are you seeing "schema violation" errors when you use jmqobjmgr ?
    If that is the case, what lookup name are you using ? Does
    your lookup name have the form:
    "cn=myLookupName"
    In most cases (it can be overriden), LDAP servers require lookup names
    to have the above format.

  • What settings should i use for mixed format videos?

    shot a local show with 3 cams to get different angles.  2 of them are 60i and one is 60p.  though all are at 1920x1080 res.  main output will be put on vimeo (have a vimio plus account or whateever its called) for all to watch but will be making some dvd's of the final edit for the few computer challenged people. 
    i have gopro (cineform) studio premium btw if i should convert the originals to the cineform codec. 
    anyway what would be best settings to edit this in pp cc?  also will be doing a music video using the footage to run at end of show. prolly will do some twixtor slomo's as well as different edits in ae cc.
    as everyone says, looking to keep the quality top notch in my export...the original files look really good.  i know the dvd's wont look as good as the final vimeo hd will look, not too worried about that.  the vimeo file is the one that everyone will see so obviously i want that one to look the best 

    I would probably go with a 1080i/30 sequence.  The two 30i cameras will match and the one 60p will be 'converted' on the fly.  Export to DVD as 480i/30 and to Video as 1080p/30

  • What export settings should I use? Please advise

    Hey I'm struggling to find the proper settings to export with Pr and need some advice. My Project is about 6 1/2 minutes long. All of my source clips are:
    GoPro Footage:
    1280x720, 59.94 fps
    1.0 Square Pixels
    I have color corrected and added effects using AE.
    I want to export my project in the highest quality format that I can put on YouTube (it has to be under 15GB).
    I've tried a couple different things but the exported version doesn't look anywhere near as good as it does when I watch it in Pr. If I was using Final Cut I would be use "Apple Pro Res" to export.
    Most recent export settings-
    Format: QuickTime
    1280x720, 59.94fps
    Codec: Video
    1.0 Square Pixels
    Depth 16 bit
    I checked the box for maximum render quality as well
    The final product came out to about 10GB (which is fine) but the quality of the video was no what I wanted. It looked kind of grainy and the colors weren't popping like they do when I watch it in Pr.
    Any suggesstions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Steezy, you're fine then with the YouTube 720p preset.
    60fps is only needed to get relatively smooth slow-motion effects in post.
    So having 30 is absolutely sufficient for YouTube. Just give it a try.
    And Jim:
     -Only if you have it installed.  I don't, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  MP4 wrapping will be more accessible than an MOV wrapped file.-
    You're absolutely right.
    The OP wrote in his second post that he did use the h264 codec.
    And a h264 mp4 file will also be accessed by the QT plugin IF installed.
    So h264 in an mp4 or m4v container is the way to go anyway...

  • What registery cleaner should I use with firefox vs 6?

    A registry cleaner keeps popping up and indicates over 400 problems - Just need to know what cleaner is recommended for firefox vs 6 and how to use it -

    There is usually no need to use a registry cleaner.<br />
    If you see that poop-up while visiting websites then that is most likely a simulation that is downloaded from internet and not showing a scan done on your computer.<br />
    The intend of such a pop-up is to get you to buy their software and you should never respond to such an alert or you will be infected by malware.
    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • What sized buds should I use with the Creative EP-630 Earphon

    HI,
    I'm new here and I am a happy owner of a creative zen xtra (had it for nearly 2 years) along with a pair of creative ep-630 earphones (which I've owned for a couple of months). My question is regarding the different sized earbuds for the EP-630 earphones. From the beginning, I used the smallest buds as it felt like the best fit and the sound seemed quite good too, except for one drawback which became very apparent during quite listening sessions, the treble seemed overly harsh and loud, and in many instances painfully so even when the volume was turned down to minimum (yes, at level ). I discovered that using the EAX environment settings I was able to to turn the sound even lower (the "living room" setting resulting in the lowest volume, which I usually turn on when listening at night) to compensate. I'm pretty sure that this isn't normal, anybody else here encountered this treble overload problem? Anyway, I managed to find the larger sized buds yesterday which I forgot about as I thought I would have no need for them. I tried the medium-sized buds which seemed to solve the problem quite a bit, but the fit doesn't seem anywhere near as snug as before, and it takes some effort to jam it down my ear canals. Are these earphones simply not for me? I think this design has great potential, should I take a step up and try the EP-635 (http://tinyurl.co.uk/zvsv) or even these (http://tinyurl.co.uk/tbph)? Anybody here have any experience with the sennheiser cx300s?
    If worst come to worst, I'm prepared to fork out for one of the Shure models, but I'd rather not spend so much if possible. Are there any other recomendations?
    CheersMessage Edited by Ankmin on 07-09-2006 04:4 PM

    Just leave it in place and merely deactivate it using Help --> Deactivate. AAM will recognize it and it will be tied to the CCM. You can re-actzivate it using the inverse procedure after CCM has run out. Whether or not there will be any significant updates that would equal a paid point version upgrade and may prevent reactivation nobody can tell you. At worst you then would have to reinstall your original CS6.

  • What resolution settings should I use for 13" MBPr?

    I've been reading several reviews and online guides suggesting various setting for the MBPr 13". I'm sure this has been asked a billion times, but have most people agreed that keeping the resolution set to "best for retina" really best for the retina? Is there any overall consensus? Or does it really just come down to user preference?

    No other adjustments need to be made. DV, whether it be progressive or interlaced...both play at 29.97 and are DV/NTSC (if shot with an NTSC camera).
    I can shoot interlaced with my Canon GL1 and use the same capture settings as someone who shot 24P (NOT 24PA) with a DVX-100a.

  • What RAD tool should i use with JSP??

    I would like to know what RAD (opensource) to use to work with JSP and MySQL.
    If anyone could help
    thank you

    If you are using the Sun Java System Enterprise Studio, the Web Application Framework will provide you with all the tools you need to create a JSP/Servlet based web application that scales in performance like no other framework. Coupled with a WYSIWYG HTML editor like Dreamweaver and your RAD app dev is covered.
    For MySQL, there are some really nice GuI clients out there. This is a link to the one I have used:
    http://www.mysql.com/products/
    If you are using the Sun Java Studio, don't forget to add the MySQL jdbc driver so that you can access your DB at development time and use the Sql Model wizards from within the Web Application Framework tools.
    If your app is not concerned with serious scalability, and you are looking to build your app using the latest standards (JSF - Java Server Faces), you can download the Sun Java Studio Creator. It's more of a VB.NET/ASP like development environment with a WYSIWYG HTML form painter. Very slick. You can download here:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/index.jsp
    Here's a primer for Creator:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/techart/primer.html
    The Creator forum is here:
    http://swforum.sun.com/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=123
    To recap, use Web Application Framework if you require the utmost in a mature, stable, and scalable web application. WAF apps can be deployed to any J2EE server.
    If you require a webapp based on the latest standard JSF implementation, and dev productivity is more important than enterprise strength scalability, then Creator is a great choice.
    cheers

  • What preference settings should I use

    I have half a dozen short video clips emailed to me.  They were taken with an iPhone 4S.  QT pro and FCPX says they are 568x320 30fps 1080p ?

  • What brush preset should be used with the quick selection tool

    I'm using Photoshop CS5 on a MacBook Air running OS X 10.8.2
    I have managed to change the brush in my quick selection tool, or at least the way it looks on the screen, and I can't figure out how to get it back.
    It now looks like a paint brush with light rays around it instead of the circle with the plus sign in the middle. It does not change size when the ] key is hit.
    The current preset says its Quick Selection Tool Hard Round 250 1  
    In addition when I use the marquee tool I can not see the crosshairs when I am inside the image.
    I know I messed it up :} but I don't know how and I've searched the forum and the web and I can't find a hit telling me how to set it back.
    The only thing I have knowingly done is to create a preset for a dashed line and imagine in doing that I have messed up the other. I have also changed the preferences for the cursor back and forth between standard and precise but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Thanks
    Sue

    You could try resetting the Tools individually or trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed.

    I did the following (see below from a Recent Forum) - and even got a sucessful INSTALLED, but when I go to YouTube....I can not get anything and I am asked to update FLASH.....thoughts?
    What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
    Please follow these instructions for installing the most recent version of Flash Player that supports PowerPC based Macs
    1. Follow the instructions for uninstalling Flash Player on the Mac: Uninstall Flash Player
    2. Download and extract the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 zip file
    3. Navigate into the folder "/Flash Player 10.1.102.64/10_1r102_64/"
    4. Mount the file "flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg" by double clicking

    I was finally able to successfully installed FP on my Mac OS 10.5.8 using the last trick shown below by Chris (Adobe Flash Player.pkg file). This, only after several (at least 10) attempts, and only after restarting my computer after downloading the install file. Thanks for the helpful post.

  • What XA JDBC driver should I use with Oracle 8i 8.1.6

    I need to use an XA JDBC driver for Oracle 8i 8.1.6. I am using the driver in
    a ConnectionPool in a TxDataSource for use by some entity beans using EJB 2.0.
    I'm running WebLogic Server 6.0 sp2, EJB 2.0, Java 2 SDK 1.3.1 Server VM, Solaris
    2.7, and Oracle 8i 8.1.6.
    I know of three different Oracle XA drivers: WebLogic jDriver for Oracle XA, Oracle
    OCI type 2 driver XA, and Oracle Thin tyoe 2 XA. Are there any other drivers
    that I can use for Oracle 8.1.6? Which driver and which version should I use?
    For example, can I use the Oracle 8.1.7 JDBC drivers with the Oracle 8.1.6 server,
    or would the Oracle 9i drivers work with the Oracle 8i server? Which drivers
    are faster, and which support more features? I assume that I should not use the
    type 4 driver since I am not using an applet, but I don't know if there are bugs
    in the OCI C library for Solaris or in the JDBC drivers that use it that prevent
    XA from woking. Which version of the Oracle C OCI library should I use if I use
    a type 2 driver?
    Thanks,
    Ross Goldberg

    Hi,
    I think you can't use the 8.1.6 thin driver for XA, you would have to
    use the OCI driver or 2PC-enable your datasource. AFAIK this has been
    changed for 8.1.7
    Check http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////jta/thirdpartytx.html.

    Subject: Re: What XA JDBC driver should I use with Oracle 8i 8.1.6
    I've asked this question before. This is the reply from Joe
    Weinstein:
    For reliability and JDBC 2.0 compliance, I recommend the
    Oracle thin driver.
    If not that driver, you should verify that a type-2 driver
    actually does
    deliver better performance, but then I would not have a
    strong preference
    between their type-2 and ours. Theirs may be faster, and JDBC
    2.0 compliant.
    Both are succeptible to OCI bugs, some of which only they can
    fix, but we
    listen.
