Premiere Pro :: Best Video Format For Editing / Projecting In Theater For AME
Feb 4, 2014
I am a recent convert to Adobe NLE systems coming from FCP 7. My question is: What is the highest quality codec that I can use successfully with AME and Premiere Pro CC?
I’m working on a project that is targeted to screen in theaters (festivals) so I want to finish with the best possible quality. My source was film telecined to Apple FCP Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, 1920 x 1080, Millions, Data rate 1060.67 mbits/sec. However, that format is too unwieldy for editing. When using FCP for previous films, I transcoded those uncompressed files to ProRes 422 (HQ) for editing and for theater screenings.
I see that i can use ProRes with Premiere, with a little work. if he/she recommends a better non-quicktime format for editing and projecting?
I am an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber and am using AME CC (version 7.2.0.43) and Premiere Pro CC (ver 7.2.1). I have installed all suggested updates. I’m running OSX 10.9.1 on my 2011 imac (core i7 with 32 GB of RAM). My graphics card is a AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB.

I have the following equipment:
Canon HDV XH-A1S
When capturing HDV clip with Premier Pro CC and playing it in the timeline, the video plays very choppy (bounces) and vertical lines flicker (drapes, edges if doors, etc...). It also seems like it is playing too fast (?). I play the exact same captured clip in Windows Media Player, and it look great.
My Canon was set at HDV 60i
clip properties:
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 1.1 GB
Image Size: 1440 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00;06;04;06
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333

I have a large number of VHS and hi8 tapes that I want to convert to high quality DV.
I have a couple of options. One is an Elgado Video capture system.
The other is a Sony Digital Media Converter Box (DVMC-DA2).
I have tried a few of the less important tapes using the Elgado Video Capture system. It only allows you to convert to MPEG4 or H.268. It is not very good quality, especially for archival items or items I would later wish to edit.
I also have the Sony Digital Media Converter Box. I have heard that this is a superior option. So far, though, I have only been able to figure out how to import using an old version of iMovie HD. This makes a large imovie project file (approximately 6.18GB for a 28:30 clip vs a 348.9MB for an MPEG4 using delgado.
On top of that to convert the file from an iMovieProject file to DV is an additional step that so far looks like will take a half an hour at best.
Is there any way for me to import VHS/hi8 tapes using the Digital Media Converter Box to creat high quality DV files directly? If so, where can I find this info? What steps should I take and what are the settings I should use.
I have a lot of tapes so I want to figure out the right and most efficient way to do this because I will be repeating it a bunch of times and would hate to have to start over again.
I should also mention that I am using a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.9.1

I'm exporting DSLR footage with synced audio in order to "bake" the audio in. I'm going to bring the export into Prelude to organize and then back into Premiere to edit. What are the best export settings (including target and maximum bitrate) to maintain top quality footage that I'll continue editing?

A film was shot on film stock @ 24 FPS.
I have a one light telecine video of the rush @ 25 FPS.
How do I edit the rush on Premiere Pro CS6 keeping in mind that I don't generate virtual frames (i.e. 24 frames on the time line corrosponds to 24 physical frames on the negative).
After editing, I need a cut list, i.e. a text document output with TCs and corrosponding edge code marks to refer to, while cutting the original negative.
The same task can be done by conforming the video to 24 via Cinema Tools while working on FCP. I need the solution for Premiere Pro.

How can I view a preview how all the video transition looks between 2 clips in Premiere Pro CS5 before I choose the one I want to use.
I always use Adobe Bridge CS5 when I need to see a fosmag on the effects in After Effects CS5, but can not get it to work and then I can also see the Video Transitions in Adobe Premiere CS5

when I upload a video to You Tube, I get a warning message that my video and audio are out of synch. Once uploaded, the video plays just fine, looks great. But I don't know why I get the warning when I upload. Video clip and audio track are the same length.

I am thinking of buying a new Sony camera (finally moving from mini-dv tape!). The HXR-NX3 records video using the AVCHD 2.0 format. Will I be able to import directly into CS 6 without doing any conversions? And will that give me HD video suitable for recording to blu-ray?

My main camera saves AVHCD files at 29.975 fps, secondary camera saves mov files at 25 fps, and third camera saves mpeg-4 at 30 fps.
I often wonder if I should just convert all the source clips from all three to one single format for editing, as perhaps it would be easier to ensure the audio and video stays in sync, and it just seems the right way to work.
What would the optimum format be for me if I started doing this? HDV? Actually I want two answers - best compressed format, and best uncompressed format.

I have added closed captions to my Premiere Pro project took bloody ages and all looks and runs great within the project. Simple white captions over the video.
Although, when I render the video out with the closed captions embedded within the video, cirtain captions seem to have slightly "dodgy" formatting when played back in quick time player.
Some sections of the captions have a black background on and some do not. As I previously mentioned the captions are all fine within the project. It just seems to happen on the render file

I'm making a documentary with subtitled footage. A translator has used closed captions within Premiere to create the subtitles for me.
Now I need some way of formatting them. I have the full Adobe CC suite (including After Effects and Premiere) but haven't been able to find a way to convert or export Premiere Closed Captions into a way that allows me to format them (ie change font, size etc).

I've uploaded .mov files from my Canon 7D camera onto Adobe Premiere CS6, but after doing some editing the footage in the playback screen is very jerky/slow. I'm working on a brand new iMac OSX and have a RAM of 4GB, so why the playback would be so slow.

Im recording 1080p 30fps with my Canon t3i and it lags during the video preview. Is it possible to render the file to a different format to increase its speeds? I heard this was possible, I just transfered over from Sony Vegas, and in Vegas I didnt have much lag under 1/4 preview.

I'm still using PSP X3. What format more knowledgeable people for me use for editing images.
In the past, I'd take the jpeg produced by my camera, convert it to PSP format, and then when finally finished, save it as jpeg again.
I understand that the PSP format is no longer used, so should I just work in jpeg format? My understanding is that any intermediate saving would compromise image quality; if not jpeg, then what?

i have been working on a pretty long multicam project (About 1h45m) in Premiere Pro CC.I was all done, and during export in Media Encoder i noticed that after about 45m of rendering, the preview window was still showing the beginning of the video. Upon further inspection, i noticed that the video appeared to be Looping. Sencing that something was wrong, i cancelled my render and reopened my project.
when the project reopened i could see that after a couple of edits, there were little white triangles and the top of the clips. I need to stress that before i started rendering, these triangles where not there.
And yes, when i played through my sequence, at every edit (camera change) the multicam clip would play from the beginning again. i have tried to remove everything after where this problem occurs and then drag the footage out. It does allow me to do edits again and it works fine, but i dont really want to spend hours doing it again, not understanding what the problem is and run the risk of it messing up again.

I took some video using a webcam that I need to edit in Premiere Pro. I converted it to 'Mov' and the codec info is 'H264 MPEG4 - AVC'. It imports to Premiere but the video appears extremely pixalated and disfigured to the point where it is unwatchable. I have set the sequence settings to the same as the source file.

I am editing in Premiere Pro using AVCHD footage. It takes a few seconds for my MacBook Pro to catchup and think in order to play it smoothly. It is HD footage and up to 60 GB of footage in the bin. Rendering takes 4xs longer than real time it seems to be. I am not savy with editing.

Im editing my home dvds that i have imported to my hard drive, now using VideoStudio x4 to crop them into the right clips and adding text,
So far ive managed after some reading to set the in and out points, drag it to the time line, then add text... I had a bit of trouble finding out how to save it, but i think im right in clicking "3 share" and then "create video file" to save the clip ?
Once ive done this what is the best format to save the clip as? baring in mind once i have all my clips cropped with text at the beginning, im hoping to burn them all to a DVD, and add menus... Is the menus also something that can be done on Video studio?

Coming from a FCP background, and I see this in FCP and in AVID, but I can't seem to do it in premiere, though I really want to. I want a multi monitor set up where the first monitor has my timeline, source window, and project window, then my second monitor has my bins & effects & metadata, then the third will be a full screen of the project window that is still on my first monitor, and then finally a fourth, 65" 4k tv also displaying the project window (mirroring the third monitor). Dragging the project window around and toggling in and out of fullscreen is a waist of time since there was no need to do that with FCP for so many years. I need 3 project windows in premiere (and I dont mean using the reference) , how do I do this with premiere?

I'm editing with RAW RED files straight from camera. Looking good but just want to know what my best possible output file and quality scheme should be.
I want to send out REDlog Film Gamma space for my color session and I've selected that for all my clips but is there any quality debayering setting I should select before output? And to what file extension output? DPX max bit depth? Uncompressed 10-bit?
