settings for editing vob files in premiere pro
Hi,
I am an absolute rookie when it comes to video editing, codecs, par´s , formats a.s.o. so therefore please think of this when replying. So here´s what I am trying to do:
1. Import vob file I ripped from a dvd into premiere. The format is 720×576 PAL, cause I live in Germany.
Question: What settings do I have to choose to import the file without any stretching or problems regarding quality? I don´t need good audio, I could even life without any.2. After I´ve edited the film I want to import it into after effects and do some title animation and stuff. The finished movie is supposed to be presented on a beamer. So therefore I need a suitable format I can export to from after effects.
I hope I made myself clear (beside editing, english is my second problem :)) If you´re willing to help me and don´t know exactly what I am talking about please ask, I´ll then try to get more detailed.
Thanks in advance.

when I watch the renamed vob it looks like the format is 16:9, but when I set up a widescreen project in premiere I get black frames at the right and left side of the video and the video itself appears to be 4:3….really confusing 🙁

The easiest method is to drag one of your imported VOB’s to the ‘New Sequence’ icon, and the correct sequence setting will automatically be set for you.

indeed, thats easy. So I can start editing right away? Sorry for the stupid question, but I am not editing at my place, I need to do this at a friends computer (he owns premiere cs5). Can you also please tell me how and what format I shall export the edited film to?

Depends on what you will be playing the video on to be projected with the beamer, but since you are starting out with PAL DVD specs, I’d keep that, since it’s the highest quality you’ll be able to acheive.

okay let me just break down what I´ve done so far.
I´ve imported my mpeg and then clicked on interpret footage. Here I´ve conformed the par to d1/dv pal widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Then I´ve exported the film once being a dv avi and once as quicktime mov. For the video I´ve also chosen a par of d1/dv pal widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Guess this is correct so far
Now I import my mov into after effects do some poststuff and then export the whole thing as mov again?
what mov then? dvpal, h264 or what? Sorry but as I´ve mentioned I am quite amateurish…

and another problem has occured…:(
when I put the wide screen material into a new comp it seems this comp is rather 4:3 than 16:9. I checked interpret footage but the PAR was also D1/DV PAL Widescreen 1,42.

Toggle the Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction Button in the comp window.

somehow I got the same 4:3 conversion when working on premiere cs5 instead of premiere pro. Is there something like a toggle aspect ratio as well? My source monitor shows me a 16:9, while in my sequence window the film is 4:3 again…..argggghh
