There will be better brains than mine to comment, with hopefully a simple solution, so don't take too much notice of my comments.

Bob:

After thinking about your response, I went to my settings and changed a setting under the video export section to always recompress. I then rerendered the same timeline, and had no such problem in playing new file.

Hey, jsut got my adobe suite. Been using pro 7 and 1.5

Anyhoo, why does I keep getting an error message, maybe 30 min into a session, that my ASIO driver is in use and the program has switched to a default driveR?>

I aint doing anything :(

Edward Slonaker · April 3rd, 2006, 08:51 AM

I'm guessing the latter, but still....

I had a crooked horizon in one of my clips so I rotated and zoomed the video a bit until it looked fine. Exported my movie with Adobe Media Encoder to a .WMV. Went to play back the movie and it seems AME exported all the boundaries of the work area, to include the rotated video.

Meaning, I've got black bars above and below the rest of the video and the rotated video looks...well, rotated. What happened??

When I "Export/Movie..." to an .AVI, it works fine. Only when I use AME to anything am I running across this problem. Has anyone else run across this?

Oh, failed to mention, I'm using PPro 2.0.

Jeff Baker · April 3rd, 2006, 05:00 PM

Glad to hear that it is working. Has anyone tried Debug Modes frameserver with premiere pro 2.0 yet?

Chris Harris · April 6th, 2006, 06:40 PM

I made a short 45 second segment, and I want to export to mpeg2 to burn to dvd, but the audio lags behind the video for some reason. I've done segments in 1.5 and 2.0 before, but only now is it starting to lag. And it's not just this project. I've tried making new projects and they lag too. Exporting to wmv is fine, but mpeg2 is out of sync. Any ideas? I'm so frustrated, I'm just about ready to re-format this machine.

Did you try to export it as a Microsoft AVI and play it back in WMP? If that's good then you can run TMPGenc on it for MPG2 and blow that into your DVD software, it's my typical workflow and has never given me any grief. The encoder in Premier (IMHO) has been buggy since day 1.

When I create a rolling title it looks good in the Title Designer, in PP1.5, however it looks blurry even after rendering when viewing in the monitier window. It is also very faint and hard to see.

I need a quick answer on how to get good looking rolling titles even if it means another program.

Thank you,
Bill

Here is one page to start with: http://www.creativecow.net/articles/...les/index.html

Are you using a Matrox card, RT.X10 or RT.X100? The titles never look good and sharp in the Monitor Window in a Matrox project. Render out the movie and look at it in Windows Media Player, does the rolling title look blurry now?

Bill Hamell · April 8th, 2006, 05:47 AM

Roger,

Thank you for the reply.
I am using a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model64 Pro video card.
Not the latest and greatest I know, however I suffered a system crash and had to cobble together a system to complete the project.

That was a great page you suggested.
I had found out some of what was there by trail and error.
I managed to get a decent rolling credit by changing the font to Arial and increasing the font size.
I shall read thru it again when I have more time.

Thank you for your help.

Bill

Chris Harris · April 9th, 2006, 01:15 PM

I gave that a shot and it works perfectly. It's kind of weird for me because Premiere's never given me any grief about this before. But I suppose I can get used to this. Thanks a lot for the advice!

Juan Dela Cruz · April 10th, 2006, 02:08 PM

When color bars view on my external monitor from premiere what IRE value it shows my monitor, IRE 0 or IRE 7.5? If its IRE 0 then when I export it to DVD will I get same black value which is IRE 0 or IRE 7.5?

Joshua Provost · April 11th, 2006, 11:12 AM

Juan,

There is no setup in the digital world, so it depends on your path out to the monitor. Are you going through a DV camera or a Pinnacle-type external box? If so, it's up to that device to add or not add setup.

I have a Pinnacle Movie Box and my Sony PVM-20 monitor status detects that there is 0 setup, strangely enough. I haven't figured out if this is correct or not.

When I select an image for the Image Matte Key, the image is distorted. I have hunted through the manual and online help to no avail. I put up a web page that explains in detail (with pictures). Any help would be extremely appreciated!

Eric,

DV is 720 x 480 (only 854 wide in imaginary world when you consider the PAR, but always actually 720 wide). Have you tried a matte of that size?
