    Upon re-install premiere CS5 suddenly interpreting all DVCPROHD as 1.2121 pixel aspect ratio

    Posted by Alex Ezorsky on September 14, 2011 at 5:15 am

    So yeah the heading pretty much says it all.

    My roommate was attempting to clean my macbook pro because the internet was running slow, and he did something that made all my adobe products not work. So I re-installed, and everything seemed fine until!

    I opened a project I had been working on the day before and now all of the sudden all of my DVCPROHD footage is squished with visible black spaces on the sides. I looked and saw that premiere was now interpreting it all as 1.2121 aspect ratio, and yet it still seemed to know that it was DVCPROHD.

    This is totally weird! This has never happened to me before, and as far as I know my roommate didn’t touch any codecs on my computer.

    If I re-interpret all the footage to the proper 1.5 pixel ratio then it looks fine. But Premiere itself is still at fault because if I start a new project, and drag in some DVCPROHD footage (which even quicktime knows how to play properly), premiere interprets it as 1.2121.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks a ton.

    1st things 1st. Whack your roommate.

    Second, you might get it working again a couple of ways.

    Start new project. Import old project and accept entire project. It will import ‘everything’ including bin structures. Find your seq and see if the media is all good.

    You can select all affected clips in the project panel and modify them as a group.

    Or

    Trash preferences by quitting PPro. Relaunch and hold alt shift and cmd. You should see a long launch time to regenerate all plugins media readers etc. The splash screen will no longer have your list of previous opened projects.
