Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2005

Rob Lohman · June 3rd, 2005, 03:55 AM

There are various extensions for mpeg-2, like:

- .mpg / .mpeg
- .m2v
- .m2t

.mpg / .mpeg usually are program streams, meaning they have both audio
and video in them. As Christopher explained the .m2v is just the video file
(since with DVD encoding the audio usually is a seperate file in AC3 form!)
and .m2t is a transport stream (kinda like a program stream).

The final form you have is .VOB on DVD. This is just an mpeg-2 transport
stream with a different extension for DVD. Nothing fancy about it.

Thanks Guys
After trying all you said looks like I'll have to reshoot the clip. Thanks again for your replies.

It's ironic that something that has the word 'Pro' in it's title has the inability to render out burnt-in-timecode on the footage, but if you weren't aware there is a $20 plug in that seems to do exactly what most people want. I downloaded the trial and it renders the timecode in the clip and the timecode of where the clip is located on the project timeline. Think I'll be buying this tonight. But I just wanted to share what I found in case someone else was trying to do this too with PPro.

Eddie Lotter has a free utility that will generate timecode. You can get it at http://www.2writers.com/download.htm.

Clint Comer · June 4th, 2005, 12:13 AM

Ok that makes a little more sense. Except I will have to go back and double check to see if they had audio on te m2v ones. Thanks.

hi all,

just got my new pc & keen to try premiere pro 1.5. i just finished filming a wedding & would like to try premiere to edit it with & looking to purchase if i find the workflow good.

i realise it only 1 month for the trial but is there any feature or saving capabilities disabled in the trial? i'd like to edit my whole wedding video to get right into the good & bad features of premiere to find if its suitable but dont want to start editing & not be able to export, save, etc...

thank you....

The trial version does not include the Adobe Media Encoder, which is required to create DVDs and other compressed formats.

Jack Zhang · June 4th, 2005, 06:33 PM

If I were you, buy the boxed version. this trial does not have the "go to adobe to buy" thing after the trial ends, instead just a box to make the software completely unusable. so in a sense, NO, IT IS NOT THE SAME! Uninstall it immediatly!

Yes, you can. Download Adobe Encore DVD to transcode your AVI file to MPEG2.

What are the best settings to use when exporting direct to DVD with Preimere Pro 1.5. I am exporting 45 minutes clips shot with GL2.
Thank you

Thomas,

I've never used PPro to do DVD, so I might not be able to help you. However, I do a lot of DVD using PPro to create my movie, then use Encore to make the actual DVD. I export to .avi from PPro for two reasons. One is to have an avi copy I can send back to tape for a back-up. Second is to let Encore do tha actual transcoding. I say Encore because I have the Adobe Collection, but you can use any DVD program. I know this doesn't answer your question, but it does show you a different option.

Dan

John C. Lyons · June 6th, 2005, 01:12 PM

I use the PPro 1.5 and Encore combo too Thomas. Do you have Encore or another DVD authoring program?

Nathaniel Sisson · June 6th, 2005, 04:37 PM

I have a title that I would like to put a glow effect on. Is there a way to do that in the title designer in Premiere Pro 1.5? What I mean by glow is an area of color that follows the outside of the title but is feathered so that the farther out from the edge of the title you go the fainter the color is. I hope that makes sense.

Nate
