  Need help with my settings!

  Posted by Austin Steele on March 12, 2009 at 9:20 pm

  I have been assigned to work on a project with equipment thats more advanced than me. Here are my problems:

  Ok so I shot footage with a Panasonic DVCPROHD at 720p24 and a 16:9 aspect ratio. What should my project settings look like?

  When I watch the clips that I imported they look fine. But when I put them on my timeline and watch them, thy are squeezed and you can see the black bars on top and bottom.

  Also, I speed up some of my footage to a speed of 3000 and it looks all liney and interlaced. What am I doing wrong here guys? Thanks!

  Your sequence settings should look like this:

  Thanks that worked! Are my project settings right? This is what I have:

  Sequence Preset: DVCPRO HD-720p24
  Capture Preset: DVCPRO HD-720p24 48 kHz
  Device Preset: HDV FireWire NDF
  Video Playback: AJA Kona 720p25 8 bit DVCPROHD (1280x 720)

  Also, I am working in an editing suite that has a TV monitor to preview your work. When the timeline is still, you can see the image on the monitor. But when you play the timeline or render a preview, it wont play on the monitor. How can I fix this?! Thanks!
