Premiere Pro to DVD trouble
I have some footage I shot at a basketball game, in an indoor gym. It was pretty bright in there and I experimented with a few settings on my sony HVR Z1U. I had rolled my shutter speed up to about 125 and should have left it around the magic 60.
Footage looks good on LCD display on cam. Its shot in HD 1080 60i. I uploaded to computer M2T files. imported into premiere pro cs6. Edited and did some color correction here and there then exported to HDTV 1080i 29.97 Mpeg2. The mpg looks great when played back on computer (22″ flat panels). I used Iskysoft to go from the mpg to vob files and burned to dvd.
I also exported to .mov then converted and burned thru Iskysoft……same problem.
When played on TV it looks soft, very bright, places look to be a little zebra peaking (hope thats the right explaination) (AC vents on wall, painted lines on floor etc)………is there a way to burn the way it looks on computer? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Hi Brent,
Perhaps the title of your post should actually be “Premiere Pro to Iskysoft to DVD” trouble? I would ask why you are bringing third-party software into the equation, as well as doing multiple transcodes?
From Premiere, you can use Dynamic Link direct to Encore for the DVD burn, or alternately (my preference)is to Export straight from Premiere to Adobe Media Encoder. This will allow you to create the “MPEG-2 for DVD” assets directly from the original source files in Premiere.
What you are currently doing is encoding to an “intermediate codec”, then on to MPEG-2 DVD. So you are adding an extra layer of conversion and compression, AND it is outside of Adobe so maybe the colorspace conversion is incorrect or something?

Thanks Jeff……I feel really dumb,…I am pretty new to this and had no idea (until right after I posted) that you could do that straight from ppro. I am going to try that now. 🙂

well, I really messed up now….Back to the Drawing board. I had closed ppro and trying to open back up the project its telling me.
” This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type”
Great, that is just what I wanted to do was start over….Not.
Thanks, maybe I’ll get it right this next round

Mac or Win?
If mac, Trash prefs, reboot, repair permissions.
Try to open proj. again.Chris Tompkins

Also, you can try to Launch AME and import the sequence in that way. Thus not having to open APP at all.

[Brent Barnard] “” This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type”
“That is a bug in Premiere Pro that Adobe assures is being address.
Create a New Project.
Import the “corrupted” project into that new one. It’ll import into a single bin in your New Project.
Open that Bin and you should see all your original work and you should be good to go.
And like others said, use Encore for the DVD. We burn the files in AME first and then go into Encore, but you can go directly there as well.
