Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro 720 X 480 Question

  • 720 X 480 Question

    Posted by Joe Landau on May 14, 2005 at 1:50 pm

    I take digital photos 1600 x 1200 at 180 dpi. I need to bring over 200 of them into Premiere. Right now I start with PS and manully convert them to 720 x 480 at 72 dpi.
    Is there a quick way to do the transformation without doing it one by one ? Or any other alternative ?

    Thx,

    Joe

    Yes, it’s too much procedure for a post, but go to Photoshop help and search “batch processing”.

    I believe it’s in v7.0 and later…possibly v6 or earlier, I don’t remember.

    And for people without photoshop there is the excellent and free Irfanview that also does batch processing.

    Yes, it’s possible. Both in Photoshop and in ImageReady. I think that ImageReady may even have more features for creating droplets — that’s what these batch jobs are called by Adobe.

    Anyway,
    * open a picture,
    * open the “History/Actions” window (may already be open), go to Actions, create a new Action.
    * press Record Button, and then resize the picture to your liking. Press Record again to stop recording

    * File, Automate, Create Droplet, select your droplet and save it.

    You can also later specify droplet settings like where to save the resized image and tweak other options.

    I’m somewhat going by memory here, you may have to tweak and play with the settings to get it working right.

    If this won’t work in Photoshop, try ImageReady, it may be easier there.
