Which codec should I use to edit HD footage in Premiere Pro?

I am shooting with a Sony NXCAM which gives me AVCHD .MTS files. I am an old FCP user switching to Premiere Pro. I used to transcode the footage to Apple Pro Res 422 and most of my stock footage is now in this codec. I know Premiere Pro accepts all codecs but I need to offline my footage using the Project Manager. Can you tell me which is the best codec in Premiere pro to edit and transcode footage to now? The only one I can see that kind of matches is AVC INTRA - I 100.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adam

Edit in the codec you shot in ( source file) is good practice
Drag a clip onto the NEW ITEM ICON (bottom of Project Window) and  PPRO will match up a sequence.
Good starting point.

  • Which codec should i use to edit with?

    hi guys, i know this would be a very obvious question to most of you, and i did have a look for an answer to this through adobe's forums but i could not find and answer.
    the footage comes out of my video camera as h264, what should i convert this to in order for it to work with?
    i believe final cut pro works best with prores, is this the case with premiere?
    thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.

    Depends, no.
    If your camera does not record in a format supported by PR, you need to convert or use other software. Remember that all conversions to another format cost quality. You can use G-Spot to determine what exact codec is used in your material or you can tell the camera used.
    It is like saying you have a car. What fuel do you need? Depends on the car.

  • Which codec should I use for web cam capture?

    I've got my new Live! Cam Voice up and running with my PC. It captures audio and video fine but when I load the video into Adobe Premiere for further editting, Premiere doesn't seem to like the codec I'm using (WMV-Window Media Video). Inside Premiere the video does not seem to play at full frame rate and when I render out an export (to an QuickTime .mov for example) also seems to be having trouble converting the WMV input to that format or any format for that matter.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi...
    Which recording quality setting was used? Best quality? or any of the preset options listed? Alternati'vely, you might want to try the I420 color format. This can be selected within movie maker.
    Hi,
    I'm capturing video using the Windows Media Video (.wmv) using the high quality setting (640x480). I think pixel capture problem I discribed above might be releated to hard drive access while the camera is capturing. Compression is set to I420. Same problem with the other option (RGB 24).
    Here is a picture my corruption problem:

    This problem happens randomly about every minute (on average) of captured video and only for a frame. The discolored line appears at different heights in the frame and it sometimes thinker than this example.

  • Using mini DV tape footage in Premiere Pro

    Normally I shoot video as 720p 30fps and edit in Premiere Pro CC. In my present project I have some mini DV tape footage from a friend I'd like to incorporate, It was shot on his Panasonic PV-GS300 in the wide-screen (16:9) mode, and we'll be using that camera as a playback device. I do not have a firewire input on the computer, but the camera has a USB connector that I can probably use to capture.
    I have not worked with DV in years (back in the old Premiere 6 days), and I am wondering what the best work flow is? Will Premiere Pro CC even capture DV anymore? I also need to mix the footage with 720p footage and am wondering how best to do that.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.  Thanks!

    PPro will only work with a Firewire port, not USB
    From what I have read, any digitizing device that connects to a USB port will have to use the software that came with the device to capture the video... AND the files produced that way are often not compatible with PPro
    Something like a http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters works great... if you have a Firewire port

  • Which listener should be used for JTextArea

    Hi,
    I need to add a listener for JTextArea particualy when
    the text in the jtextarea is changed. I don't think
    mouse listener is enough, since the user can use tab to
    get to the jtextarea and edit the text. In this case,
    which listener should I use. Sample code would be
    helpful.
    In addition, I have a problem with the jtextarea that
    when user uses tab to go to different gui components,
    such as jtextfield, jcombobox, jtextarea, jlist, etc, the
    tab stays in the jtextarea and keeps appending to it. It does
    not go to next component, such as jlist. How can I make it
    work?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pin

    It doesn't work. Are you using 1.4 or 1.3? I am using
    1.4.
    In the 1.4 API, it says that isManagingFocus is
    "Deprecated".
    Here is what I have:
    JTextArea descrptArea = new JTextArea() {
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
    return false;
    descrptArea.setRows(3);
    descrptArea.setLineWrap(true);
    descrptArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    // DO SOMETHING
    I found the following code which says it will do it.
    However, I got the exeception:
    java.lang.ClassCastException:
    n: javax.swing.KeyStroke
    at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
    at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
    at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
    Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEven
    .VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
    (KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    forwardTraversalKeys);
    Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    backwardTraversalKeys);
    Any idea???
    PinI'm not using 1.4 but the class cast exceptions look like they come from : Set forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet() etc
    try : TreeSet forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet()
    you cant cast from a Set to a TreeSet because a TreeSet is a Set but a Set is NOT a TreeSet.
    hope this helps.

  • I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

    I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

    You could use Microsoft Office for Mac, but I would recommend iWork! It's a better set of applications for a much better price. I have used both and I prefer it over Office. And Pages can not only open Word documents, you can also save documents in Word format. My brother and I both used iWork as an Office substitute when we were in college (I graduated a few years ago and he just graduated last night) and haven't had any compatibility issues.

  • I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,firefox. Which one should i use

    That is up to you to decide. For some details about the different versions see https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2011/04/07/new-development-channels-and-repositories-for-rapid-releases/
    If you have not used to testing software you should stick with the release version (Firefox 4.0.1).

  • Which CPU should I use

    Hello,
    our company want to buy new computers for the developers.
    We have to use Windows XP as our OS because of third party products.
    We develop J2SE + J2EE.
    So my question:
    Which CPU should we use?
    I searched at google but didn't found any usefull sides about benchmarking an J2SE VM or J2EE VM.
    Intel or AMD?
    Are there some issues to be regarded?
    Is the behavior of the VM different if you use an Intel or an AMD? (X86)
    Our AppServer is JBoss 3.2.3.
    Has Intel ore AMD some magic improvements for the SUN Java VM?
    Any answer would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Oliver

    Olli_ger,
    Thanks for asking. To add more to the question, what about dual- and
    multi-processors, such as Opteron 2xx and 8xx processors?
    That is, can, and to what extent, does the Java compiler and the JVM
    utilize multi-processors? And how is this done? Threads parceled out?
    Using what algorithms? Are there "best practices" for writing code
    that can exploit these chips?
    Given the recent emergence of dual-core processors from both AMD and
    Intel I would think Sun would have a white paper on this, but I've not
    been able to find anything.
    As I'm about to build a new system, and am looking at a dual processor
    board that could take two dual-core chips, I'd really like to know.
    Thanks again for opening the issue.

  • Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

    Dear experts!
    Thank you for your attention!
    I am confused with text item (TATX).
    which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
    Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
    So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
    Best regard!
    Tangdark

    Hi,
    you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

  • Which object should i use ?

    Hi,
    I have a methode that returns several values of different types. Which objet should I use to return these values ? I thought of Vector but somebody told me that there is a better object than Vector.
    thanks for your help !
    Tex

    First, always use an interface over an object if it exists. So, your code should always declare the instance variable as List, not ArrayList or Vector or LinkedList. This allows the implementation to be optimized for the task at hand (e.g. LinkedList for arbitrary insertions or deletions of data, ArrayList for better Iterator performance, etc.) while using the interface for the common List methods (e.g., get(), add(), remove(), iterator(), etc.)
    Second, avoid Vector. Sun specifically states in the Collections tutorial that ArrayList is preferred over Vector.
