  Adobe Premiere CS3 Project Setting for huffyuv video file ?

  Posted by Reko Tomo on April 26, 2014 at 8:08 am

  I have AVCHD .mts file (1920×1080 25fps UFF) and convert the file with ffmpeg with the command line as follow :

  for %%a in ("*.mts") do ffmpeg -i %%a -vcodec huffyuv -s 720x576 -acodec pcm_s16le %%~na.avi

  From CS3, I choose the project setting to custom desktop and set as the picture below :

  

  

  

  Import the converted file to CS3 then drop it in the timeline.
  But the timeline show a red line which means when I hit ENTER to preview my editing, Premiere will re-render the whole file in the timeline.

  

  I’m hoping that Premiere won’t re-render the whole file but only the portion that has an effect or transition just as when I work on DV file with default DV-PAL project setting when hit ENTER to preview.

  How do I set CS3 project setting to avoid this ?
  Or maybe I didn’t do a correct way with the ffmpeg command line that I wrote when convert the .mts file to huffyuv avi ?

  Any kind of respond would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you in advanced.

  regards.

  Your pixel aspect ratio is set to 4:3, should that not be set to widescreen?

  Hi Ann…

  I’m sorry for the delay.
  Thank you very much for your respond and correction.

  ffmpeg command :
  for %%a in ("*.mts") do ffmpeg -i %%a -vcodec huffyuv -s 720x576 -aspect 16:9 -acodec pcm_s16le %%~na.avi

  Here is the spec of the generated AVI file :

  Video
  ID : 0
  Format : Huffman
  Codec ID : HFYU
  Duration : 48s 960ms
  Bit rate : 87.2 Mbps
  Width : 720 pixels
  Height : 576 pixels
  Display aspect ratio : 16:9
  Frame rate : 25.000 fps
  Standard : PAL
  Color space : YUV
  Chroma subsampling : 4:2:2
  Bit depth : 8 bits
  Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 8.407
  Stream size : 509 MiB (98%)

  When I put the file in Premiere Project with 16:9 setting, Premiere still “thinking” that this generated file is 4:3 … not 16:9.

  

  I put the file to the timeline, and the monitor show the image with a black bar on the left and right side.

  So I did this :
  

  The monitor now show the image correctly,
  BUT – the red thin line on the timeline still there :(.

  What am I doing wrong ?
  (scratch my head and pull my hair)

  Thank you once again for your respond, Ann.

  regards,
  reko
