source and sequence not match

[Brian Louis]

You need to include things such as your version and project settings

Gil,

It seems that your timeline doesn’t match the footage.

Since I don’t where you live, I’m going to assume that you working inside an NTSC timeline, while bringing in PAL footage (Different frame size and frame rate). And we’ll worry about the frame rate later…

You either need to setup a PAL Widescreen sequence if you reside in PAL land and bring in the footage again.

Or if you live in the US, you need resize the PAL footage to fit the frame using the motion settings in your effects control panel.

Vince!!!

thanks a lot I chenged it in ‘new project’ setting- to DV PAL ( ye i’m from Israel )and the size of the frame keeps the oroginal size
thank a lot again!

by the way, i still have to render it after i just drag it to sequence befor i did any action so I gues i still did something wrong… is it frame rate that you talk about? where can i change it?

good day meantime

Gil 🙂

Having to render could have many reasons. Is the original file DV AVI?

If not, you will have to render if the machine doesn’t have enough processing power or fast enough drives.

Thinking about it now, you set up a Standard DV sequence, not widescreen correct?

I was thrown off by the bars, but it looks like it was exported with a standard ratio to accommodate the subtitles, so do make sure that you are set up as a Standard PAL DV sequence.

Hi Vince!

ye you are right i did set up a Standard DV sequence ( the source is wide so i gues it just jumpd you in the keabord 🙂

and yeh… you right again, I saw that the original file is not DV AV, it’s MPEG4(xvid)
( I have a big pray that i didn’t writ something stupid ))
so it’s good to know that!

by the way… in the same breath, i have to send most of the videos i make in the mail. what is your recommendation for best encoding format for less size and still best quality from the big big list of premiere?
like if i’m having 300M and i nead 7M up to 12M?
usualy I’m using format: Windows Media – codec :Windows Media Video9 and changing the setting ( but it just because i didnt try everithing )

sorry for the long letter, and posting another post inside a post,but its something that i’m fighting with a long time

However best regards :0)

I would definitely use H.264, it’s the flavor of the moment. Windows Media is dead 🙂

For Bit Rate, you could start at 1-2Mb/s, that would work for low motion, but it’s going to be tough on any animation sequence.
