  • timelapse with JPEG’s into a Premier project

    Posted by Neil Christian on May 22, 2014 at 8:44 pm

    Hi I have 4 or 5 image sequences from a GoPro in JPEG’s and would like to import them into Premier Pro as time lapse’s but at the moment they are obviously very high resolution and I was wondering what was the best workflow for downsizing to HD creating the nicest image, they are in 16:9 already.
    Should I creat a sequence with this size them export to HD and then re import into my HD 1080 project or is there abetter way? Any ideas?

    For what it’s worth, we import image sequences from a Canon T3i(2592×1728) and a GoPro(3000 x 2250) and edit in a 720P timeline without any problem at all. Plus, we have all of that extra space to reframe shots if necessary. I generally like to edit with the largest number of pixels possible, then do your downsize scaling on export – unless machine specs get in the way.

    Ok interesting so I do my corrections in lightroom then import as image sequence into Premier pro, drop into a 1080 time line and then it gets downsized when i export with the compressor. I’m new to Premier Pro, PC is not a problem it can do all of this, you don’t think there’s any difference between Photoshop and premier for reducing a larger format to HD, both will produce roughly the same quality 1080?

    To be honest, I wouldn’t have a clue since I’ve not done a side by side comparison – but there’s a very easy way to find out!
