Premiere Pro :: Exporting A 1080 HD Project To DVD?
Jan 18, 2014
I am on the final stages of finishing my first ever HD project, having made the jump Premiere Pro 2.0 to Premiere CS5. Mid-way thru I found it necessary to upgrade to Creative Cloud, so that is where I am working now. The HD world is so vastly different from the old SD flow that every single step of this project has been a huge learning curve for me. I am basically an 'oldie' but for all practical purposes I am a total 'newbie' at this. That said, I am now finding myself ready to export my project to DVD in a SD form with Stereo sound.
I am working with footage shot on the Red Epic. At my current stage I am working withh ProRes 444 renders from which I have created a full nested 74 minute timeline. Frame rate is 23.976 and the source is1920x1080 with 1.0 square pixels.
So now my movie is done, and it looks and sounds like I want it to. The question now, in a nutshell, is what file type and settings should I use to export my movie so that I can retain aspect ratio? Should I output a movie first or take the project into another program like encore first and make my disc from there?
Also, I have my first screening coming up (primarily for cast and crew and industry insiders) in a couple of weeks, so I need to create a 1080 HD File with my 5.1 surround track that I project from a laptop. The screening venue has the capability to do that via a simple HDMI cable hookup, but does the laptop I use need to have any special capabilities to do the job? And what is the best file type to use for that?
I have always been more of an artist than a tech head, but I am pretty much doing the whole post on this movie alone, with the exception of the Dissolve renders and the sound design, which I had done for me (I have a great finished 5.1 design in .wav format, as well as a stereo version).
I should also mention that I currently have Encore CS5. Can I work with this on a Premiere CC project?
I have started a new video project with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 in Photoshop CS6with a pixel aspect ratio set to square.. In the project I add a video to the timeline. The source video was created in QuickTime and exported at a 1920 x 1080 resolution MOV file. I have check both the source clip at the canvas siye and have confirmed that both are 1920 x 1080. However, when I import the video it takes up less than the entire frame. It appears that the video is being scaled down so that there is some white space to the right and below the video clip. See the image below.
In the past I have been able to import 1920x1080 video to a 1920x1080 project without a problem. I have 4 or 5 examples that have worked well.
I have a Flash project I'm working on that is video with corresponding bulletpoints displayed next to it. While I've gotten it to work with embed cue points in the FLV file so that at certain times in the video the Flash movie goes to certain frames to display the relevant bullet points I haven't gotten it so that it can tell what the appropriate bullet point is if someone scrubs the video past the last cue point trigger. I found a process to do it using actionscript cue points instead of navigation cue points (via this guide: [URL], but it uses an external xml file for the cue points. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get that XML file without having to redo all the cue points manually. Is there someway to make Premiere Pro (CS3) export an xml file of the markers placed in my timeline instead of embedding them into the FLV file? Alternatively if there is a way I could extract them from the FLV file, that would be acceptible too.
I have some fotos that are apparently too small for the 1920 x 1080 format of my film.
What do I need to master about the relationship between three items (canvas size, image size, and document size) so that I can smoothly resize a bunch of images in Photoshop for export into Premiere Pro in that 1920 x 1080 format?
I will be constraining my proportions... if the images are too big, I will do a Ken Burns "zoom out" effect in the film.
"VideoStudio® Pro X5 also supports the frame rates found in newer HD camcorders, so you can edit in 50 or 60fps mode, which is ideal for higher quality and slow motion sports effects in footage."
I use my 3 years old Panasonic HDC-TM300 (released in 2009) camera in 1080/50i (17Mbps) mode and I'm planning to upgrade it to one of the newest models HC-X900M/HC-X900/HC-X800 just released in 2012.
These brand new cameras can be used in 1080/50p mode (28Mbps) which results in beautiful footage and their Image Stabilization is almost perfect. Previous models like HDC-TM700 (released in 2010) or HDC-TM900 (released in 2011) are also able to shoot in 1080/50p by the way.
Somehow the video editor software manufacturers are in a big delay however I know that 1080/50p (AVCHD Version 2.0) was standardized only in July 2011.
My question is the following: is it possible with X5 to edit 1080/50p .mts video files then to export them into the same 1080/50p .mts format without any downgrading?
The only modification is just the editing work should be.
Editing and exporting are two different things, but this is the key issue.
Other vendors claim that their product (eg. AVID, Vegas Pro 10) is able to edit 1080/50p but nobody mentions whether is it also possible to export these edited videos into the original .mts 1080/50p format or not?
PS: if it is not possible then the 1080/50p is useless due to the necessary quality decreasing! maybe this is the reason why the camera producers still keep in their brand new models the "good old" 1080/50i mode...,but what is the technical reason of missing this 1080/50p .mts output format, only the delay in software development?
I want to take a sequence that I had in an old project and put it into a current project, but I dont want it to be one rendered file... i still want too see the fades and make changes to it...
i´m having a problem opening a premiere pro cs6 project from another computer. My partner can open the project in her computer, but when she sends me the project by mail and i try to open it in my computer i I get t the mesasage " Cannot load project". I´ve tried importing the project into another project but it doesn´t work.
I have tried exporting in various ways, it will burn to a dvd, but one way wouldn't play sound, another only play on my MAC, another played through media player but not on a dvd player. I looked it up and it says something about Encore. Is that something I have already? If so, how do I access it?
I've made a project in Premiere Pro CS6 with greenscreen footage from a canon XF100 (MXF file).
When I open the project in Premiere Pro CC I can scrub throught the timeline everything is oke.
But playing or rendering the timeline, gives me only the bottom half of the greescreen footage. I see that in Premiere CC the clip with the footage becomes gray after putting an effect on it. When I do this process from the start in CC it works fine. But there are 52 timelines in the project made in CS6.
I tried to export my project. I don't know where it was exported to. I did not see where I could choose the destination. I ultimately want to save it on my google drive.
Premiere was running fine for most of the weekend, then began to crash every time I tried to open the project. Other projects open briefly, followed by a crash within 5 minutes.
The project weight is almost 2 GB.Is taking hours open my project file. I have to send a edit by tomorrow but right now I don't know if I will be able to open my project to start editing.
I have read in your forums this is a common bug but nobody say how can be solved, I already lost all day waiting and I can't be waiting all night to start the editing at early morning, this is totally insane. I'm editing in a Macbook Pro Retina with 16 GB of RAM.
I edited a lot in this computer with this software version ( CS6 ) and never got this problem.
In this project are sequences with Magic Bullet effects and Warp Stabilizer but this can't be an excuse, must be a solution for this because I already lost 8 hours looking to my screen.
I'm running Adobe Premiere Pro CC on a 2011 Macbook Pro, and I was working on a project. When I went to render the whole sequence, Premiere froze and auto quit. When I went to open the project again, I got the error:
"This Project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
Every version of the project's auto-save files gave the same error. I tried all of the suggested tips like deactivation and clean uninstall, but nothing's changed.
Just finished editing a project and want to send it to someone without all the excess. I understand you go to the Project menu and select Project Manager. Only problem is I don't have a Project menu.
There is no Project Panel when I capture clips to Premiere Pro CC. There is only a Media Browser so how do I create a Project Panel if there is not one already?
I shoot RAW photos. I like and use Premier Elements 11 to make video. Frequently I insert photos in the videos and enjoy using the Pan and Zoom technique (frequently credited to Ken Burns).
Resizing photos support Premier Elements to run smoothly. The LR Export command makes it easy. Using PSD files works well in Premier Elements. However, I am confused about settings.
My understanding is that if no Pan&Zoom or cropping is to be done in the video the export should be 1920x1080. If Pan&Zoom is planned, the setting should be higher by about 50%. LR makes it simple by letting you specify the "Long Edge" so the setting would be 2880. The short edge will match the original.
What about "Pixels Per Inch" for a HD 1920x1080 video project that may be played on a big HD TV or smaller YouTube? There is plenty of information about PPI for printing and computer monitors, but not HD Video.
Here is screen capture for reference:
What should the pixels per inch be set at to match 1920x1080 video? The 140 setting is a complete guess!
I just downloaded premiere elements 12, and tried to open new project, but nothing happened.. What i need to do? But i can open organizer without any problem!
how to copy and paste a bin from one project file into another. I don't want to import using the Media Browser because it imports a bunch of reference files that are already in the project file I'm pasting into.
i am starting a film project to edit, what is the exact 2k project sequence settings & project settings,like frame rate,2k resolution size,progressive or ?the project pipeline is - premiere to speedgrade to Lab print(Negative or UFO or Qube)
I am working on a feature length film which has 48 sequences with subclips and rough cuts created in Prelude. Now I want to start bringing this footage into Premiere for editing, but I am wondering is there benefits or drawbacks to creating a Premiere project for each sequence then merging them all together in one master project file after finished working on each sequence?
I'm trying to determine which way would be the easiest to keep things organized and not so overwhelming.
I did a project with one sequence at 24fps, but I need change framerate of sequence to 25 fps for not have that reedit all, now. Is possible change framerate of sequence and that automatic way the editions be adapted at this framerate?
I have looked everywhere for instructions on how to export a premiere pro project and sequence, and associated media, to final cut pro on another computer. Exporting the xml does not include the media files. Therefore when my editor opens up the xml file it fails. I have a feeling I need to use Media Encoder to export the media associated with the project. Yet I cannot find any guides or instructions for how to undertake this. My editor is using FCP 7 on another computer in another place, so I need to export 8 sequences/projects *with their media* to him via the internet (dropbox) so that he can do a final edit on his machine. I would even be happy just to be able to export a working AAF since that option also hasn't worked for us.
I can't believe there is not more demand for this. My web dev is asking me for over 300 video clips in both .web and .ogg - - AME does not do this.Any success with a 3rd party plug-in of some sort. I can use Fire fogg (from Firefox) but it's slow using over the web as opposed to exporting from Premiere.
i have recently brought a new computer (very powerful) for the things i want to do, as i am also posting this you can tell i make alot of videos as well.
