scaling 2.7k in premiere
Hey guys, have just switched to premiere prp from fcp and would like to know what the inbuilt scaling is like.
have shot 2.7k on the gopro to allow some crop room since im filming from a dji phantom.
have converted to cineform in gopro studio and am working back and forth between the two in a 1080 premiere timeline.once ive made my initial adjustments via gopro studio, Am I getting the best results by simply scaling the 2.7k footage to 1080 in the canvas or am I better to use an intermediatory scaling program or export 1080 from gopro studio before editing in premiere?
thanks

Downscale in Premiere otherwise you will have no room left to maneuverer.

Easy to decide for yourself. Import footage and drop into the appropriate timeline, Scale it and decide if you like the result. By trying this first, you can make your decision and not have to alter the footage in any way.
I scale down large images in projects from time to time, and have been completely satisfied with the results.

It is quite good. With CUDA or OpenCL acceleration enabled, Premiere uses Lanczos sampling.

ya scaling is great. one of the things final cut pro was never able to do.
also as of CS6 or CC you can just bring in go pro footage without needing
to convert it…plays great as is. -
Peter,
Premiere Pro does have a pretty good scaler as noted by others. With Premiere Pro CC 2014, you have a new option called Set to Frame size, which allows you to ‘scale’ the frame to fit your sequence settings, but does not rasterize the image and thereby giving you room to do pan&scan should you wish to.
The Premiere Pro reference PDF is pretty handy to have and you can search it to find the command and its definition. You can get it here: Premiere Pro Reference PDF
Here’s the entry for the command in said PDF:
Use the Set To Frame Size command to scale an image to the sequence frame size without rasterizing the image. When you use this command, the native pixel resolution is preserved, letting you see the sharpest resolution when you zoom in on an image.
1 Right-click (Windows), or Control-click (Mac OS) an asset in a Timeline.
2Select Set To Frame Size.
When you select the Set To Frame Size command, the Scale To Frame Size setting is toggled off for improved playback performance. -
Thanks, yeah scaling in fcp was crap
