  Best Presets for creating a 720p 60i .MP4 video?

  Posted by Christian Fauteux on June 26, 2011 at 4:15 pm

  Hey everyone.

  Having a hard time here. Finally making the dive into HD. I got a capture module called a Hauppauge HD PVR and captured some video game footage.

  I’ve always just used “DV NTSC” as my project preset, but now with this footage, I’m a little flustered.

  The footage doesn’t play very smooth, sorta hard to edit. I’ve done HD editing on my rig before, so I’m thinking I don’t have the right presets when I create the project. Here’s the info for the footage I have:

  Frame Width: 1280
  Frame Height: 720
  Frame Rate: 59 frames/second
  Item Type: .mp4

  Thanks for any help!

  In 5.0, just drag the clip onto the NEW ITEM icon at the bottom of the project bin. It will create a sequence based on the properties of the clip. In 5.5, you just right-click the file and do the same.

  If it still plays sloppy, Premiere can’t handle playing back the codec in real-time on your system. Try dropping the playback quality (bottom of program monitor).

  I’ve had a few MP4 files given to me by clients that played strangely in the Source window (pixel break-up), but played fine in the timeline.
