  • Importing footage with different ratio & frame rate

    Posted by Jack Everard on December 17, 2012 at 11:15 am

    Hi

    Im planning to import an animation exported from After effects and into Premiere Pro CS5, and burn it all to DVD later on with encore.

    Premiere project setup:

    HDV 1080P 25
    1440 x 1080v
    aspect ratio: 1.333
    25fps

    AE Animation:

    HDV 1080P 25
    1440 x 1081
    square pixels
    29.97fps

    1. Is this a problem that its exported out as square pixels and a higher frame rate? will this effect the quality of the DVD?

    Thanks

    Hi Jack,

    The aspect ration is fine, they are both 1920×1080 frame when set to square pixels.

    The frame rate on the other hand will be an issue. Although it’s better that you are removing frames, I have yet to see Premiere do a good job at it, although I haven’t tried it in CS5 / CS6.

    Try a simple H.264 export and see how it looks, but my guess is it won’t look smooth on the 30P footage.

    You could try this, but the render times are pretty long.

    Don’t sweat the frame rates. We mix different frame rates very well. Down load the trial and test it out.

    Glad they improved that. It was quite poor in CS4, we ended up buying a copy of Twixtor for all PAL conversions.
