Working with 48fps footage in Premiere CC

Hi there,
I am currently working on a 24fps project with R3D footage in Premiere.
Some of the footage for a new sequence I am working on was shot at 48fps (and will need to be exported to 24fps while retaining 48fps' slow motion effect) and I am unsure how to go about this.
Can Premiere play back in the program monitor at 48fps? Can it interpret/render 48fps footage to export to 24fps while retaining the original attributes of the 48fps footage? Or would I need to use additional software to accomplish this?
Ideally I would like to be able to edit/playback the footage at the correct frame rate within Premiere as I need to synchronise it with music to see which segments of the clips I have will work best.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If I'm understanding you right. Your R3D footage is a baseline of 24fps (or 23.976fps) but was overcranked on the camera to 48fps, meaning it should playback half the speed of realtime. I don't know much about camera settings but normally the camera processes this internally and then spits it out at 24fps but was actually overcranked for slow-motion. Arri Alexa does this internally. I have worked on R3D slow-mo before and I know it processes it internally also.
Unless the red camera has a setting to turn that off I do not know. The important part is; is the footage at 24fps or 48fps BASELINE and how much excess fps was set to overcrank in the camera settings? (i.e was it set to 'squeeze' 48fps into 24fps)? Normally premiere pro cc is good at reading the footage's baseline fps value in the browser.
But to interpret footage inside of premiere pro cc, its easy - all you do is bring in your footage into the browser, then right click on it, go to modify then interpret footage; in the menu at the top, change the fps value interpretation from 48fps to 24fps (or whatever baseline you want) and then click ok. Drop the clip onto a timeline matching the rest of your baseline fps and it should be slow-mo. You should see the value of the clip's timecode length increase double in the browser metadata.
Hope that helps, let me know how it goes. Be useful if you can take screen grabs of the metadata so we can see what your looking at.
Regards

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

RED footage has a restriction on metadata. We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

Since I work with a backup-projectfile, premiere stops working reporting a 'debug event'

Hello,
Can somebody tell me what the next dubug event means and what to do about it...
'Premiere elements has encountered an error.
C:\PRE12\mail\MediaCore\audiorender\API\inc\audiobuffer/audioSubBuffer.I'
Because premiere stopped working a sudden moment I opened the backup folder and used - for the first time since I work with premiere - the back up file to work with. Since then premiere shuts down every time after a minute or so on this particular project.
By the way: it is a very small project so it cannot be the capacity of my (brand new top end ) lap top.
I work with the same settings, files, camera, laptop etc as always and this is the first time I encounter this problem.
So what to do?
Thanks
ps.
- premiere 12
- windows 8

Hi,
Can you try this simple step and see if it works:
Before importing the footage, go to File > Project settings > General and change the video renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Select "Delete Previews" after clicking on OK. Then import the footage.
Thanks,

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
The speed of upload e download is good?

The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

Working with LUT's in Premiere

Hi,
What is the least power hungry way to work with LUT's in Premiere?
I have the Red Giant LUT buddy and there's also the Lumetri Looks plugin inside Premiere. Which do you prefer?
I've noticed that with the Lumetri looks Premiere hangs for 10-30 seconds when I apply the effect and when I change positions on the timeline. On the other hand playback can be on full quality with no problems.
The Red Giant LUT buddy however cant handle full hd playback, but it doesnt choke.

Not really a direct answer but I have a suggestion or tip that might help. After I've done all my basic edits and I'm ready to grade and finish, I will render my edit to an uncompressed or high res file. Then I will import that rendered output into a new project, create an adjustment layer and apply things like Lumetri to that adjustment layer. This has three benefits. 1) it's much quicker and more responsive since PPro doesn't have to resolve an edit stack prior to the FX, which leads to 2) I will have more system RAM available for the effect, and 3) I can tweak the opacity of the adjustment layer to blend or limit the effect if needed.

Does Premiere Elements support DVCPRO-HD? How do I ingest and work with HD-footage from HVX-200?

Hi there,
I work with Premiere Elements 11 on a windows PC, and I try to ingest HD-footage from Panasonic HVX-200 Camcorder. Premiere Elements only recognizes thumbnails, but not the footage itself? What do I have to do? Or does Elements only support SD-footage? Do I have to install DVCPRO-HD Codec? Where do I get it then?
Thanks for your help!, yours Mike

Welcome to the forum.
PrE does support HD material, just not all of it.
With DVCPRO HD on P2 media, I am not sure that you will be able to work directly with the media files from your Panasonic in PrE. This is the list of supported formats: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-1665492e133c9c19956- 8000.html#WS300DE01D-F057-4639-96D1-F99EEE163C24
PrPro can Import and edit DVCPRO HD on P2 media. The Panasonic P2, along with its metadata is supported: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html

Working with Corrupted Footage

Hi there,
I am trying to work with RED/R3D footage that appears to have been corrupted during transfer (apparently this may be a problem with USB3).
In the affected footage artifacts appear on the screen for a frame at a time (please find screencap attached). When trying to export this footage, some of it exports successfully but on some of it I receive the message “error compiling movie: unknown error”.
Since most of the footage will be very difficult to re-shoot I was hoping that it would be possible to cut out the corrupted frames, frame by frame, (I have tried this on some scenes and it appears to be virtually unnoticeable but perhaps this will cause problems down the line?). However since Premiere will not allow me to export some sections of affected footage I am concerned that some of it just cannot be exported (or perhaps would require different software to do so).
If anyone can please clarify for me how to solve/get around this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for the tip.
If anyone has any ideas about the “error compiling movie: unknown error” problem I would be very appreciative to hear. Thanks!

Working with SD footage in HD sequence.

Hi all -- a quick question.
I'm working on a show for broadcast...sequence settings are 720p 24.
All of the original shooting was done on a Panasonic using P2 cards -- also 720p 24.
Most of the B-roll is SD -- alot of film clips ripped from dvd's (legal --all legal), and stock footage provided as high resolution QT's downloaded from websights.
Now, my system has a Kona card and we're doing our color correct with an HD monitor.
Here's the kicker -- I've got a post supervisor who insists that we have to send out our SD qt's to be upconverted at a facility using a Teranex box.
It doesn't make any sense to me, since these qt's have been upconverted in compressor to the proper codec and look pretty great in my sequence.
Am I missing something? Why on earth would we need to incur the expense of sending these clips to post and then laying them back into our sequence?
Am I crazy?
Any opinions are eagerly awaited.
Thx.
Mark

I do understand budgets and I also understand the need to keep costs low. I also understand the need to do things right the first time. Spending money up front typically results in lower long term costs, at least I like to think so.
You mention all this video that was demuxed from mpeg2 and then upconverted to whatever format of hd you're working with through Compressor looks great in FCP. My question is how are you monitoring your timeline, on your iMac? The images in the canvas are rather irrelevant as FCP provides a proxy image rather than full video resolution monitoring via either firewire or a dedicated input/output device. Unfortunately your iMac lacks this capability, except maybe through a MXO and well that's a topic for another discussion.
Changing formats means changing color gamuts, pixel aspect ratios, raster dimensions and sometimes field order. I guess Compressor will do an okay job for this but you mention doing this work for broadcast. I regularly use products made to do this job, products from companies like Evertz, Ensemble Designs, Aja, Ross, Leitch and I'll tell you, even these high dollar converters struggle with NTSC to HD upconversions at times and they do a much much better job than Compressor could ever do. Teranex makes terminal products strictly for format conversions and they are superior products.
I have no idea about your post supervisor's experience level with any of this and she should be able to explain it succinctly enough to warrant these costs. Just depends on what your producers want to do. Good, fast, cheap: it's getting to the point anymore where you can only pick 1.5 of these aspects to get a job done.

Working with XDCam Footage in Shake. Is it Possible?

Hey Guys,
From what I've been able to dig up, Shake doesn't like rendering out to XDCam in File-Out nodes and it's been the same case for me. XDCam renders brought in to FCS are slow to load and constantly bring up the beach-ball. Is it the same case for File-In nodes too? Should I avoid working with the XDCam format entirely?
The other problem I've been having, is I'll File-In the XDCam footage, work through the process to get a greenscreen key and then I've tried several different file-out CoDecs: Animation, ProRes422, ProRes422 (HQ), DV/DVCPro NTSC, and the only format that comes out normal is the DV/DVCPro NTSC. All the others are shortened.
So my question is, what's happening to my footage? The original is 10,372 Frames (Roughly 5:45) and yet I get different render times for each, even though the Flipbook shows 10k+ Frames rendered.
422(HQ) at the Original 1280x720 - 2:34
422(HQ) resized to 864x480 - 3:52
422 at the original size 1280x720 - 3:50
DV/DVCPro NTSC at 1280x720 - 5:46
Animation at 1280x720 - :20 (That one was an odd one.)
Can anyone help by explaining to me what's going on? I've even tried putting an 8-bit "Bytes" node before the file-out, as some have suggested, and still no glory. I should not that ProRes422 (HQ) is the timeline setting for my Final Cut Project and everything was shot on an XDCam ex-3 at 720p30.

I don't have any interlacing options selected in either node and the clip just stops automatically at 2:34 (4636 Frames). The file-in format is a 1280x720, 29.97fps, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 13.6 MB/sec Data Rate. The File-out node is set to the same 29.97fps, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec and is left at 1280x720. When imported back into Final Cut the Data Rate is slightly lower at 13.2 MB/sec, but that is the only difference.
What makes me doubly confused is that if I put a resize node before my file out and size the 422 (HQ) file to a proportional 864x480 (other details the same) I get a longer video file as the result at 3:52 (6962 Frames), at an 8.8MB/sec Data Rate, but still well short of the full 5:45 (10375 Frames). The only file-out format that doesn't truncate my video is a 1280x720 DV/DVCPro - NTSC and it's Data Rate is 3.4MB/sec but the quality is so low as to warrant not using it.

Importing & Working with HD Footage

I have some HD footage that I need to work with that I am trying to import from a borrowed camera. The trouble is the amount of it is taking waaayyyy too long to import and it is having trouble saving to my 500 GB hard drive. Could this be due to not much ram? Would it be better to import using DV format instead of HD (since I don't have an hd tv)? Also, how can you tell what format a clip was imported with, which format it is? File info doesn't tell you. Any information you can give regarding working with hd vs dv will be appreciated.

A G4 laptop is just too underpowered to import HD material. Best you could expect is about on quarter of real time. One hour of tape would take four hours to import.
You set the "format" when you start a new Project (look at the options).
Double check the file format of your external drive. Most come formated for PC's and you'll mess up your Project files unless you reformat it.

Please Help, How can I get 24Frame .mov's to work with broadcast footage?

Hello,
I am desperate for some help. I have 24 Frame image sequences and 29.97 B-Roll footage that I need to work with. I am forced to work in the B-Roll frame rate because it is a mixture of scenes and all the interlace is different shot to shot.
So my question is how can I take this 24 Frame CG and get it to 29.97? I can’t conform it in Cinema Tools because it speeds up the timing. I can’t add pull down in After Effects because it looks really bad. Is there any other way that I can add pull down to this footage and have it still look good?
I am in desperate need for some help so even some conversation might get the ball rolling.
Thanks in advance

I'm really surprised that you say it is looking bad out of After Effects since that is a good way to add the pulldown. What is it that is looking bad? Is the comp set up correctly? Is the CG stuff a true 24? You might want to conform it to 23.98 in Cinema Tools, then try adding the pulldown in AE. I don't think it should matter except that you aren't truly pulling down to 30fps so you'll have to change the rate at some point.
The only other way I know to add the pulldown, is to use FinalCut at a 23.98 sequence, play it out to tape to add the pulldown, then capture it back in.

How to Work With Still Images in Premiere Elements 10

I am struggling with the still images in my Titles for my video project, and would really appreciate some help. I have done a lot of googling on this and searched this forum, but can't seem to find the answer I need, maybe not searching the right questions or just "not getting it". Not even PE Adobe tips or Adobe TV cover this, although it seems important to know. I am not clear how PE10 will handle the resolution of an imported still image or graphic art from Photoshop. Perhaps this topic will also help others as well.
I am working on a video project for my job, editing an old training video. Created new Title graphics in Photoshop, inserted the Title images and integrated with video clips, then exported the video segments as MPEG files. I burned the whole video to DVD.
When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
So I need to know how to improve the quality of the still images/graphics for a video??
Project settings:
- Hard Disk, Standard 48kHz
- Editing Mode: DV NTSC
- Frame: 720 x 480 (0.9091)
- Frame rate: 29.97fps
- with "Optimize Stills" box checked
Using these settings because I am working with MPEG files from an old training video CD.
File Export: MPEG, NTSC DVD Standard
I export the video clips as MPEGS because they will be burned to a CD or DVD for distribution to our staff offices.
Work Details:
In Photoshop, I created still image graphics for each Title sized at 720 x480 with high resolution photos and company logo (300 dpi), and save them as a bitmap to import into PE10. In the Timeline, I insert the still image in "Video 1" track, then in Video 2 track create a Title over it for text (some animated, some still). Sometimes I stack 2 or three titles with text in separate video tracks over one still title image. Yes, there is a red line across the top in the Timeline because I didn't render the still images.
Questions:
• What is the best resolution for images imported into PE10 from Photoshop?
• Should I be creating title graphics/images at 720 x 480 or a larger ratio like 1920 x 1080 so it will display better when seen on a computer or TV?
• Do I need to render each title image in the timeline so that it will eventually display better in the MPEG?
• Is it better to create a title and then insert the still image into the title so they are integrated, rather than layered on separate video tracks?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
Remember that DVD-Video was designed for CRT TV sets, and was a major step up from VHS tape. However, when viewed on an HD computer monitor, or HD TV *, it is still ONLY 720 x 480, with is about 1/4 of the resolution as 1920 x 1080, which is about what we are used to seeing on those display devices. That is but only 25% of the quality. It can never look as good as HD material.
Good luck, and if I missed something, please point that out to me.

* With the advent of BD players, and up-rezzing DVD players, things HAVE improved, when viewing a DVD-Video on an HD TV. The newer players have up-rezzing chips, that do a very good job of "improving" the viewed material's quality. However, even with those amazing chips, DVD-Video will NEVER be as good as a full-HD source. Also, computers do not have those up-rezzing chips, so when one views a DVD-Video on a high-rez computer monitor, it will still look pretty bad. There ARE a couple of new DVD software players, that improve the quality of DVD-Video played on a high-rez computer monitor, and a few look fairly promising. I speculate that we will see some more development in the DVD-Video area, especially as BD is not proving to be the big seller, that many promised. Even 3D is not helping BD realize its promise.

What External Drives should I use to work with HD footage?

I just got a new camera that shoots HD and I will be editing weddings with it. I need to figure out how and where to put my HD media that I can work with in Final Cut Pro. I have a Lacie external drive but am not sure if there is a better option for me.

Don't use USB for video. Use FireWire. Even FW400 has plenty of bandwidth to handle HD video; FW800 is even better. If you expect to be compositing 3, 4 or more video clips from the same drive, then FW800 is the way to go, perhaps even a FW800 RAID-0.
USB2 would appear to be fast enough however there is more to it than just the raw speed measured in a lab. The USB protocol cannot keep up with the streaming demands of digital video. It may work for awhile, particularly on very short clips, but somewhere along the line you will run into trouble.
Most good FW drives today support FW800 and FW400. If you are seriously doing weddings and using FCP, don't skimp on your drives - look into GTech, Caldigit, Wiebetch. And get at least one additional drive for backup - you will need it.
And BTW, you're going to need more than 1GB RAM - upgrade to 2GB minimum, 4GB if you can
