Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Wrong Project Setting

  • Wrong Project Setting

    Hello Everyone,

    I have an interesting problem. When I set my project in Premiere Pro CS3 it was DV-NTSC 29.97 Widescreen 48khz. I discovered after we have been editing for some time now that the footage was originally shot in 23.976p Advanced. I did not see any problems when I was editing otherwise I would have been more alert but now that I know I would like to change my project setting to 24p. I am aware that once you set your project setting (editing mode..etc) you cannot go back, but I tried importing my 29.97 project into 24p one; all the clops were in their proper folders and in the bin. But I lost the In and Out points of all the clips I lost the timeline all together with the editing done so far. Is there anyway those can be restored? Any workaround so I basically have all my work in my 29.97 project translated into 23.976 with no problems? The pain in this whole story is the loss of In and Out points that were set for the numerous clips and the timeline that was carefully edited to make certain clips overlap at certain times..etc.

    Thanks in advance

    I was hoping someone would have had a solid answer for this. I’ve nested projects for the same process as you’ve described, but not with a change in frame rate.
    Perhaps interpreting the footage’s frame rate by right-clicking on the clips in the bin of the new project might help to correct the issue.

    You might try Project/Project Manager and Create a New Trimmed Project in the original project. This generates a new set of clips, but does not work with MPEG source. I only edit in the timeline, so I’m not sure how it would handle In/Out points that were set in the Editing Monitor??

    If you’ve already solved this please let us know how.
