some suggestions:

– disable antivirus when working
– Premiere program files, source files, project files and export location should be on 4 different SSD.
– you should use a different SSD for caching and you must set it in premiere preferences
– 5400 HDD are useless for video editing. Also 7200 should not be used due to performance reasons.

Oh cool, never known about this, thank you.

When I will export the entire timeline, will premiere use the rendered file or the source AE file?

Thanks

[Alberto Bedin]

Ok, done 🙂

The final result is a interlaced upper 720×480 29,97fps (NTSC) DVD.

I tested it on a computer with VLC and it works with auto de-interlacing on.

I also tested it on a Sony DVD/Blu-ray player on a Sony Bravia TV (connected by using HDMI). However when the DVD starts the TV says “progressive” signal. Probably the player is doing and upscaling and conversion to 1080p?

The image isn’t so sharp. It has some horizontal lines (as a de-interlaced file).

Hi Jeff,

thanks again for your reply.

I noticed that Quicktime and Windows Media Players de-interlace a lot better than VLC (even if I try all different de-interlacing settings on VLC).

By the way I think that de-interlacing is turned off by default on VLC but it is not on Quicktime and WMP.

So I will try to export as NTSC DVD Widescreen Interlaced (upper first).

I will let you know how the final result will look.

Thank you

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your reply and your time.

I usually export on h264 for computer playback. However this time I have to export to only 1 format: DVD. However I’m quite sure that the DVD will be played both on DVD player and on computer.

1) Does it make sense to export to progressive DVD because of computer playback?

2) If I export as interlaced, does the change of field order decrease or alter the video quality?

Thank you

[Alberto Bedin]

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your reply.

I think exporting to NTSC is a good idea. It will be played back both from DVD players and from computers with a players such as VLC, right?

Only one question: I created an interlaced timeline.

When I go to export from Premiere to mpeg2-DVD NTSC Widescreen the default field is wrong:

Should I change it?

Or should I export to progressive instead of interlaced?

Thank you
Alberto

Hi Chris,

thanks for you reply. Unfortunately I’m not understanding what you are trying to say to me.

My video is a AVC-Intra 100 1080i (Premiere says 29,97 fps and nothing else).

What you suggest to do?

[Alberto Bedin]

Thank you, clear answer.

Is this “sub sampling” usually noticeable?

[Alberto Bedin]

At the end I decided to convert my MOV files to DNxHD before editing them in PP and AE.

It works very well.

Thank you

[Alberto Bedin]

I did not find a way to convert do DNxHD at 120fps with Encoder.

However, I found out that i can “interpret footage” also from Encoder, just right click on the source file!
