What sequence settings should I be editing in?
Hello,
We recently switched over our editing solutions from Mac (Final Cut) to PC (Adobe Premiere). When using Final Cut, I had always set the sequence settings to DV-NTSC Anamorphic. These settings were the default for captured DV footage. Well, now that we’ve switched to Premiere, and I’m shooting a lot of stuff with a 7D (sometimes still using DV), what sequence settings should I use? Should I just go with the prompt about “changing sequence settings”? Or should I always default to whatever I shot the footage with/in? And if so, what happens when the footage is coming from multiple sources? Should I use settings for where the majority of footage is coming from?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -

Use the DSLR settings that match your frame rate. There is one called “DLSR.”

That works…same as it did in FCP. QUick way to get the settings to match.

Either way. Whatever works best for you.

Choose the dominant source as the settings. Or choose the one that is closest to your delivery specs.

That’s what I do.
