Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2006

In 1.5, when you transcode and select mpeg for DVD, it will render separate files for video and audio, unless you opt for "DVD" in the Multiplex menu when you are selecting to transcode on export to your mpeg file.

in pp2 how do I play like a 6 sec clip in slow mo and have the scene freeze at the end for another couple seconds?

Jon Jaschob · September 10th, 2006, 08:32 AM

Make a copy of the slow-mo file, place it right after the slow-mo file, right click on the copied file, select frame hold, set frame hold to hold on last frame.
I think :)

You can freeze on either an in-point, out-point, or a marked point.

1) select/left-click the clip
2) if you want to freeze on something OTHER THAN an in or out point, set unnumbered marker in Source Monitor
3) Choose Clip/Video Options/Frame Hold (that opens the Frame Hold Options dialog)
4) from that, choose either in-point, out-point, or Marker 0.
5) Click the Hold On check box
6) to prevent keyframe effects form being viewed, click Hold Filters check box.
7) To remove effects of deinterlacing, click the Deinterlace check box.

Chris,
Thanks for the fast response!
I set it for DVD on the Multiplexing and problem solved. Thanks again, really appreciated.

I'm looking at a monitoring solution for offlining a very-low-budget feature, shot in HDV 720@24p. My concerns are soft focus and framing, and a good viewing experience for me and the director.

It seems to me that the best choice is a high-rez LCD, now that you can get nice ones for $300. Any serious HD monitor, consumer plasma screen or projector would cost way more, and from looking at specs, the latter two don't even have true HD resolutions.

Since the project is 1280x720, could I enjoy an up-rezed full-screen display and still judge focus properly? Can I monitor directly from the computer with PPro? Does it support a full-screen mode at all?

I'm wanting to make sure that working 4:3 footage in a 16:9 project will work before I get started. Can someone tell me how Premiere tells 4:3 footage from 16:9? How does that work?

This is in regards to this post:

I'm doing everything in SD. Thanks for any help!

Bart Walczak · September 12th, 2006, 02:07 PM

Hi,

You have the "Interpret footage" option in Video menu, or available via right-click. There you can set the pixel aspect ratio.

The problem with 4x3 footage in 16x9 project is that you have to upscale it in the timeline to match 16x9 resolution (roughly 720->1024 pixels). This will decrease the quality.

Jeff Miller · September 12th, 2006, 03:16 PM

Thanks Bart, will check that out. It seems to work ok except that Premiere seems to have confused some footage's aspect ratio.

I'm not too concerned about the res; I'm not going to stretch the 4:3, I just want it to play properly on a 16:9 TV without having to take the tv out of 16:9.

Nic Brown · September 12th, 2006, 03:17 PM

Hello - I was wondering if anyone had tips or methods in making DV footage look less like DV and more like film. For the most part, I'm looking to add grain, make it look worse than it currently is, but in a stylish way - more analog, less digital - kind of like an old 8mm film. Suggestions would be great. I use adobe premier pro 2.0 and don't use after effects, so I'm mainly looking for methods that involve changing settings within premier.

thanks!

Graham Hickling · September 12th, 2006, 03:52 PM

There's a whole forum on that topic, right here, with 7000+ posts!

Not all involving Premiere, admittedly, but the search box is your friend...

I can't seem to find any relevant info at that link you gave... thanks anyways. anyone have any other ideas? Keep in mind, the footage i'm using is run of the mill 29.97 fps DV AVI.

Robert Bale · September 12th, 2006, 09:22 PM

will premiere import quicktime files??

Chris Harris · September 12th, 2006, 10:19 PM

Yes, but it likely won't edit in real time.
