Which --Project Properties--Preset for 1920x1080 HDV 1080p30 footage?

Hi,
New to the HD world and have to make lower third for my footage. My media frame size is 1920x1080 and the compressor is HDV 1080p30. (I shot it progressive because it is for the web)
I don't see a preset for HDV 1080p30? Just presets for (HDV 1080i60), (HDV 1080i50), and (HDV 1080p24). Where is the preset for HDV 1080p30 and/or which one should I use to make my lower third over the footage?
Thanks,
-marco

Motion Project presets are not codec specific, they just set up the project size, aspect ratio, field order and frame rate.
Pick one that matches your footage, or you can use "import as project" to create a project based on the footage you import.

What is the correct preset for import of 1080i footage

I have a Sony HDR-HC3 camera and have captured my footage on the 1080i setting. I now wish to import it into Premiere CS-3 with eventual output onto a Blu-Ray disc to be played primarily on a Sony 1080p television. My question is: What preset should I be using for the video input. The choices I see under HDV are 1080i25 (50i), 1080i30 (60i), HDV 1080p25, and HDV 1080p30. I dont fully understand the differences between these settings and would like to know what I should be using, or what the advantages/disadvantages of these settings are.
Thank you,
BC

If you're in North America or other NTSC territory you use 1080i30 (60i); if in Europe or other PAL territory you use 1080i25 (50i), because those are the only formats this cam shoots, and it only shoots the format appropriate for your area (not both).
All this is detailed in the "Specifications" section of your manual (page 123 for HC3, page 119 for HC3E).

Best FCP settings for 1920x1080 HDV footage @24fps

...shooting film on small community river with a Canon XH-A1...and want to work with cinematic style "beauty shots" So far I'm assuming that import presets in FCP should be set at AppleProRes 422(HQ)...although this taxes my processor...I will be doing simple graphics and project will be about 20 minutes in length. I'd love some opinions on what to watch for and how best to proceed from anyone who is familiar and has worked with this type of set up. Thanks a mil.

I'm trying to figure out how you are shooting film on a video camera...

Optimal settings for encoding HDV 1080i footage to SD dvd

I have footage recorded from an HDV camcorder and edited in FCP 1080i 60. It is fast moving sports footage shot with a high shutter speed the total running time is 40 min. I have encoded it to DVD by taking the HDV 16:9 FCP sequence dropping it to a 4by3 DV sequence to get the window box 4by3 aspect ratio and exporting this sequence as an mov. This mov was then encoded with compressor dvd 90 min best settings
I was not able to find a quick way to do the aspect ratio change in Compressor 3. Please let me know optimal settings.
The big problem however is how compressor has dealt with the high speed moving footage. Played from the DVD on a sd tv the motion is terrible. It looks like the interlacing is all off and the image doubled up. The slow mo footage used in the piece is fine.
What are the optimal settings to smooth out the motion?

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.)

VDRAVES
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.

Question about the HDV 1080p30 preset and Encore.

I shot video on a Canon H1 set to HD 30p and recorded it onto DVC tape. I then captured the taped footage off the Canon H1 and into Premiere CS3 using the HDV 1080p30 preset. I believe that the HDV 1080p30 shot from the Canon is 1440x1080 when compressed onto tape.
I want to export to Encore CS3 to encode the video and create a Blu-Ray disc of the 1440x1080p30 video i just edited in premiere. The problem is that Encore CS3 has no 1440x1080p 30 preset. Encore CS3 has 1440x1080p 23.976 and 1440x1080p 24. The closest preset is 1440x1080i 29.97 but thats interlaced. I was hoping to keep the video in progressive mode but you have to convert it to 23.976 or 24 fps.
According to the specs, High-definition video may be stored on Blu-ray ROM discs with up to 1920x1080 pixel resolution at up to 60 frames per second interlaced or 24 frames per second progressive.
What's the point of being able to shoot and edit in p30 just to have the encoder force you to convert back to p23.976, p24, i29.97 or i59.94 fps?
Or is i29.97 the same as p30 when the video is originally shot in 30p?
Is this just an oversite?
Do i just select the 1440x1080i 29.97?

Yes, shooting 30p with 1/60 shutter speed would require more light but would give you less motion blur. But you'd have the same issue even if you shoot in 60i since the default shutter speed for 60i is 1/60.
The canon H1 can record HD in 60i, 30f, and 24f but converts the output to 60i except when the HDV/DV terminal is set to HDV in 24f mode, then the signal is output in 24fps progressive.
So in my case, whether i shoot in 60i or 30p, the playback signal is converted and output at 1440x1080i 60i.
The dilemma is that LCD, DLP and Plasma HDTV's are all progressive. So whatever you feed it, i or p, it gets converted to p for viewing. The problem is feeding an LCD, DLP or Plasma HDTV a true interlaced signal (A frame = AB fields) won't look as good as feeding it progressive signal (A frame = AA fields). Lines and edges appear stepped or jaggy.
So the issue is whether to shoot 1440x1080 in 30p with a shutter speed of 1/60 or 60i with a shutter speed of 1/60. Either way, it gets output via the HDV terminal (IEEE 1394) into premiere as 1440x1080 60i.
With consideration to the final display device, i.e. LCD, DLP and Plasma HDTV's and monitors, the only option would be to record in 30p with shutter speed of 1/60 if your shooting lots of movement like a dance recital to reduce the motion blur and 1/30 for normal shoots. Recording in 60i for output to a progressive HDTV or monitor would, i my opinion, produce somewhat blotchy jaggy video frames because the frames are averaged from two fields with slightly different images.
Also, since the H1 playback signal is output as 1440x1080 60i, does it matter whether i choose HDV 1080i30 (60i) or 1080p30 for a new project preset in Premiere CS3 prior to capturing the footage? If you shot in 30p, probably not, since the Premiere CS3 capture would still result in A frame = AA fields anyway. But since Encore nor the Blu-Ray standard support 1080p 30 (29.97fps), the choice is made for you - 1080i30 (60i) for the Premiere preset and 1080i 29.97 for Encore preset. You could select the HDTV 1080i 29.97 Encore preset if you want to upscale the 1440x1080 to 1920x1080.
Either way, the end result is that shooting in 30p and capturing, editing and encoding in 1080i 29.97 will still deliver A frame = AA fields and a better progressive image on a progressive LCD, DLP or Plasma HDTV or monitor without the conversion or stepped and jaggy lines that a true interlaced image would show.
So, the bottom line, in my opinion, is... If your shooting with a Canon H1 and will be showing you work on an LCD, DLP or Plasma HDTV or monitor, shoot in 30p at either 1/30 or 1/60 shutter speed then edit in Premiere, encode in Encore and produce your Blu-Ray dvd in 1080i 30 (29.97).
Obviously, if you shooting a film or want your work to look like film, shoot in 24p by all means.
Also... Let me know if you disagree on any points.

Advice on exporting PPCS3 HDV Project to file for WD TV player

I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player. I have tried a multiple of export settings without success. My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive...file size is not an issue.
I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3
I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)
I have stabbed around with Export, Movie... as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can't find the magic
When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46" TV via the WD TV player. But I can't seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done. I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.
The attached jpg file is a scan from the WD TV User Manual...supported video formats.
Thanks, in advance.

Hey, I'm glad I found you guys. This problem has been messing up my workflow for over a year. Maybe you can help:
I'm shooting HDV with Sony HD1000, capturing with HDV split, editing in Premiere. (So far, so good) Problem is, exporting from premiere (HDV 60i project) produces "squashed" and letter-boxed video, and my graphics and titles are "mis-aligned" with the video. It's like premiere scales down my video files, letter-boxes them, but leaves graphics untouched, which of course throws everything off. My only work around is to edit in an NTSC project, and scale down every single video clip myself, which yields lots of rendering. I thought I solved the problem, by importing the entire premiere project into after effects. Export worked great, no loss of quality, but after effects doesn't recognize premiere time-remapping, titles or wipe transitions (and has issues with .m2t audio)!
I've tried every form of exporting from an hdv project (adobe media encoder, straight to encore). ALWAYS squashes and letter-boxes the video files, while leaving the graphics/titles as is (now appearing larger than they did in the program monitor and less crisp.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love premiere for standard dv, I just can't get around this obstacle with HDV...

Setting in Project Properties for PAL 1920 x 1080

Hi there,
I have been using LiveType in Std Def without problem.
Now I have switched to HD, my FCE4 is editing in PAL 1920 x 1080.
What setting is FILE > Project Properties shall I set in LiveType because I see the canvas has gone too big & not managable !!
HELP HELP HELP
Thanks

Pick any of the 1080 presets -it doesn't matter which, although you might have to adjust the frame rate to suit.
Another way to automatically adjust the properties is to simply drop in a small piece of video in the required format via the Place Background Movie command in the File menu. Save the setting and then delete the video.
I see the canvas has gone too big & not managable !!
Click the percentage button at the bottom left of the Viewer. Set it to "Fit to Screen".
Thanks Nick.
But how do fix the size of all the various windows.
After I adjust until all the 4 windows are to my liking, I work on it.
But when I close Live Type and I fired up Live Type on the next time, all the 4 windows go haywire in size again. How do I fixed (and save) the size of the 4 windows once & for all ?
Thanks

Which presets for HD material?

I have some HD material (1280x720/ 30fps) but I can't figure out which presets to use in CS4. I tried some, like "HDV 1080p30". But in all of them the sound works but the image only shows the first frame.
I don't think it's a hardware problem bacause it works fine in WMP.
Hope someone can tell what I'm doing wrong!

Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your helpful answer. I watched your toolkit video and followed all the steps. However, when trying to open my .avi video file in VirtualDub, I get the following message:
Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'H264' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.
What to do....?

CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

Goal
To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
Tools on Hand
Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
FFMpegx CODEC pack.
CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
So far I've been able to
I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it. I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc.
Problems I've encountered
I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project. For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio. But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect. I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too. Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD. I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project.
I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer. I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
Current steps I'd like to take
I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance). I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others. Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize? I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264. the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless). I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
How do I choose a preset for my new project? These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different). Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types? I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere? Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset? I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start? Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
Thank you for helping a newbie. I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything. I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
*It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed.

You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
the model 300
Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
need that, look at the model 55
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 One Way Only to Computer

Bug in workshop Project Properties for a Java Project !!

I have a Java project which i am trying to make work with junitee so
that i can automate my test cases. I have installed junitee as a web
application named 'junitee' and configured it no problem.
I have my JUnit test cases in Java Project named 'UnitTest'. What i want
to happen is that when i build my UnitTest project i want the resulting
JAR file UnitTest.jar copied into the WEB-INF\lib of the junitee project.
In order to do this i needed to change the project 'Build' options and
select the "Copy JAR file from Libraires to Project as" and refer to the
junitee web app as follows:-
../junitee/WEB-INF/lib/UnitTest.jar
Unfortunately when i do this and select Ok to save my changes workshop
gives me the following error:-
The JAR name contains illegal characters. Please correct the name.
However i have managed to get around this and make it work by manually
modifying my .work file by hand and not through workshop. This works and
achieves exactly what i want however it must be a bug in workshop to not
allow this through the Project Properties window !.
Else if it is deliberate then i cant see why as you should be able to
copy a JAR file to any lcoation inside the project if you wish to. I
hope this gets fixed in SP3.

Need change preset if adding HDV footage to SD project?

How do you accomplish that and what are the results to the new HDV and the old SD footage?

Though of no help in PrE, PrPro CS4 allows one to mix footage through different Presets for different Sequences (think mini-Projects in one major Project). Even earlier versions of PrPro could not do this, and one had to do separate Projects, as the Presets were Project-based, and not Sequence-based, though earlier versions did have Sequences.
Good luck,

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.

How can I keep the edited video which in project into Libray for re-edit ?

How can I keep the edited video which in project into Libray for re-edit later ??
As i used i movie 06 before....
after i imported the videos in to the library, then i can drag the videos to the timeline(now is project)
then edit it.
After that i can just drag all the timeline clips which is edited to the library.So I can keep it for next time if i wanna re-edit.
But Now if did all the editing at the library clips then drag to project, i can not drag the project clips back to library, so how can i keep it for my editing safty?
I do not wanna to edit again the same clips from the library!!! as i need to edit many different short clips together then export to individual videos, and i may need to re-edit.
or i can keep the edited video in project, then i can selected the clips which i willing to export, the rest video who in the project will not be export at the same video? I m wondering....
please help!!! Urgent!!

Just keep the project. Then you can just duplicate the project and make the next set of changes as needed. By duplicating the project, you are not duplicating the event, just the links to the event library.
This way you are not eating up disk space.
Does that help?
