Premiere Pro cs5.5 preset problem
I just started a project on premiere pro cs5.5 and I just realised that the HDV option on the available presets has disappeared
I can see all the
DV-24p
DV-NTSC
DV-PAL
DVCPRO50
DVCPROHD
Mobile&Devices
But no HDV as my video footage is 1280 width 720 height and 29 frames per second.
How can I get the HDV preset back or customize it myself? -

1280 x 720 is a DVCPROHD frame size.
1440 x 720 is an HDV frame size. -
I see thanks I just double checked. and on the DVCPROHD options I don’t have the 1280 x 720 only the settings below are available to me.
1440h 1080v
1280h 1080v
960h 720v
I had the 1280 x 720 settings before I haven’t changed the settings I just shut down the program yesterday and today the settings a different -
1280×1080 and 960×70 are correct for DVCPro HD as 1080P and 720P respectively.
You can create a custom HDV preset by going to the general tab and creating a 1440×1080 PAR 1.33 preset and choosing the appropriate frame rate, then saving it. Not sure why it’s gone, but saving it as a new HDV preset will work just as well.

Sometimes, when you install Premiere Pro, it will install without the “protected” content—i.e., the content that depends on codecs licensed from parties other than Adobe. HDV is one of these.
The way to get these items is to deactivate, uninstall Premiere Pro (or the suite if you installed as part of a suite), run the Cleaner script, and reinstall.
Yes, that’s a pain. We’re sorry about that.

Before you go through the process that I just described, could I get some information from you to help us to isolate this problem?
What OS are you using?
Look under the Help menu in Premiere Pro: Does the word ‘Activate’ appear? Or the word ‘Deactivate’?
If you open Adobe Media Encoder, are you able to choose MPEG2 as a format for exporting?

ok Todd Kopriva maybe we’re to getting somewhere here I remember installing some codecs to sort some directshow filter problem maybe that created a conflit?
ok I checked under the help menu and the word Deactivate is there but is not clickable
and I don’t have MPEG2 as an option to save. -

A lot of free codec packs are poison to professional editing applications, displacing good codecs. Only install additional coedc packs that you know for certain are high-quality components from a trustworthy source.
I recommend uninstalling those extra codecs and then going through the steps that I outlined before.

What I wrote was wrong. Should have read 1080 instead of 720.
Looks like others helped get it sorted out. Sorry for any confusion.

[John Pale] “1280 x 720 is a DVCPROHD frame size.”
Actually, HDV1 is a JVC format…and it’s 1280x720p. HDV2 from Sony/Canon is 1440×1080.
DVCProHD is always sub-raster…720p is actually non-square PAR 960×720. 1080 is 1280×1080 for 29.97fps, and 1440×1080 for 25fps footage.
