Is it possible to drop a H.264 video source on the timeline (of APP CS4), edit, and save as... MPEG2 (for dvd authoring), DivX (for internet content), and .AVI?
yes i did bro.. best one is: H.264, 864 x 486, 25 fps, 16:9.. make sure u check out my channel and subscribe! lol i got loads of vids comin up soon including a tutorial just editing it all now. hope the aspect ratio works for u man =) lemme know how u go. melbourneJester
I am pretty sure that the source of my own rendering problems is the Quicktime Codec. Last week I spent hours trying to fix a problem where the render would stop and hang. Eventually I gave up and used MPEG-2, which worked perfectly. The file is a larger than Quicktime H-264, but YouTube is much more accepting of MPEG-2 now.
thanks for that - haven't tried the H.264 encoding - but i reckon the heart of the problem with the quicktime .mov aspect ratio - is quicktime not interpreting the correct pixel aspect ratio - i was able to burn off a squished 4:3 and it turned out as a lovely 16:9 on the DVD... will try the H.264 see how that goes
sumtimes when u go to export you have to check a box that says render audio to cause the render video is already checked. Thats before media encoder pops up
can anyone tell me why my vids squashes from 16:9 to 4:3 in premier pro cs3?? fuk im hating this program grrrrr someone help me plz just send me a message to my channel before i kill something
Offhand I would say it is how the project is set up. There are choices when you make a new project in CS3. You may be using the default in CS3, 1.33 NTSC 4:3 aspect ratio.
Try selecting a different project template to get the 16:9 you are looking for.
In CS4, you can change your project settings, mix sequences of different aspect ratios. I haven't tried it myself yet, just saw it mentioned in a tutorial.
ya i've set up the project as 16:9 wide screen. the project is also wide screen. and yea you can also change the settings in the project also. but still when i render it its squashes to 4:3 and i dunno why T_T
Sounds like you're using a default 1.33 preset in the CS3 Adobe Media Encoder for the export. Click on the button labeled "Preset:" and choose a widescreen format.
did you ever get a straight answer to your aspect ratio problems in premiere? I'm having the same problems and i'm pulling my hair out trying to solve it...
For example, the ability to use Photoshop files directly. Photoshop Extended works with video, and has finer image controls.
I bought PP CS4 hoping that some minor bugs would be fixed. PP CS4 has a new set of very serious bugs that cause the program to crash!
What's new is that you can tell Adobe in the crash report what you were doing at the time. For example, "My render crashed in the DE Fire plugin. I hit Save, and then Premiere itself crashed"
Bottom line: I removed Photoshop Extended CS3 as soon as I upgraded to CS4.
But I continue to use Premiere Pro CS3 because Premiere Pro CS4 has bad bugs that cause it to crash.
It also has minor bugs that make you wonder what they were thinking. For example, you can't a Track Matte key on a still frame anymore.
You use Track Matte key framing over still frames, for example, in a library of transitions. A title card "A" transitioning with a matte effect to a title card "B".
CS4 is much better with the 4.01 update that fixes a huge number of bugs in the initial CS4 release of Premiere Pro.
CS4 has been pretty stable so far, only one crash in 10 days use. It crashed when setting up a render, and that may be due to that I ran out of memory after a long period of editing.
I always save before I set up a render in the Adobe Media Encoder. Remember to do this too. The Encoder has been the most buggy thing in CS4.
A friend of my dad gave me Adobe Creative suite 3 for free. Im so fucking lucky.
