$10 for a codec!

virtual dub and VLC player are both free and can convert these videos for Premiere.

Hope that helps…

Create the REC, cross hair and the brackets in a TITLE. In another Title, create the RED button so you can edit it to blink independent of the crosshair and brackets. Then use the timecode effect on your video layer.

Hope that helps…

I always check to make sure my minimum bitrate is 2500. Sometimes, VBR on black or dark area videos produces too low bitrate that “pixelates”

Hope that helps…

June 18, 2007 at 11:16 am in reply to: Better to convert VOD to MOV or AVI for Premiere CS2?

Gavino,

1. VOD or VOB?
2. AVI or MOV can be lossless or lossy depending on the codec. DV or MOV AVI is a lossy codec. Uncompressed AVI is technically a lossless codec.
3. Nop, its not worthwhile because the source is compressed anyway. I would go for DV codec, AVI or MOV.

Hope that helps…

Thanx Peter, unfortunately, I dont have the budget for magic bullet. Am looking for something “homemade”.

I’m referring to the track matte I think. I want a soft black border on the edge of my videos–kinda creating a dreamy effect.

I think the best approach is to just render to avi then convert to divx using a different software, like procoder or dr divx. the latter makes terrific conversions.

hope it helps

You can also go to MyDocuments>Adobe>Premiere Pro>2.0> and delete whatever is inside the Layout folder and the Styles folder. Works for me all the time when Premiere loads a project then hangs up.

What kind of output do you want? HD? SD? Widescreen SD? The way I understand it, you just need to resize your SD footage big enough to make a crop for widescreen. There are some software out there that claims to do this better than the native resize filter in PP. I actually found Windows Media Encoder a better software for upsizing footage to HD, then just import the wmv to PP. Or, resize your HD footage in your SD comp which is a lot easier. Of course, you get pristine footage from your HD source.
