[Andre Gagnon] “720X480 (1.2) means that the pixels forming the images in your clip are rectangles that have a 1.2(H) X 1.0(W) Width/Height form factor. These result in a Widescreen TV format”
Sorry the first sentence should read:
720X480 (1.2) means that the pixels forming the images in your clip are rectangles that have a 1.2(W) X 1.0(H) Width/Height form factor. These result in a Widescreen TV format

720X480 (O.9) means that the rectangles have a 0.9(W) X 1.0(H) form factor. These result in the normal TV format: 720*0.9/480 usually designated as the 4:3 format.
Note that in both cases the resolution is the same 720 pixels X (Width) by 480 (Height). Only the shape of the pixels varies between the two formats.

Some sort of batch compression may be worth trying.
Create a nested Sequence by combining all the Sequences that contain your clips .
To achieve that when all your clips are in various sequences in the Project bin, select all these sequences and drag them in a new empty sequence that you have previously created on the timeline. This will result in a nested sequence where all the clips are consolidated into a single one.
You may then export this single clip to a compressed file-type of your choice.
If I remember correctly the maximum duration of a sequence in Premiere Pro is 10 hours.

In Premiere, you can do it using a Color Pass effect and use a Traveling Matte to apply the effect to the color target if it moves within the frames.

I had my own copy and I received another Premiere Pro 2.0 complete set as a gift. You are welcome to the manual provided you pay the shipping cost. If interested, I will find out how much it will cost when I get your mailing address. Just contact me by return email and we will arrange something. My email address is: andre-gagnon@shaw.ca

Download and try the free IrFanview here:
It batch resizes still pictures and convert them to a different file-type if required.

[Ron Moody] ” Have you ever noticed that audio levels aren’t consistent outputting to Beta?”
I am not familiar with devices like yours but I know that DV Sound once transfered to analog is typically up to 10 db hotter. What you report appears normal and your solution is of course OK.
Aloha,

[Harm Millaard] “If you call a $ 450+ package inexpensive, you are right. However, a lot of people would likely disagree with your statement”
Sorry, I meant Procoder Express at $59.95.

The Premiere software is made to edit DirectShow compliant clips like those pointing to the Adobe, Microsoft, Matrox DV AVI and other DS codecs. If you import other clips, it will accept them if the particular codec (like Canopus) is on your computer. However it will render them and produce clips that are compliant with Premiere and store the new clips in a folder named “Adobe Premiere Preview Files”. From there on you actually be editing these clips altough this fact is not transparent.
Rendering of course involves a decompression/recompression process that leads to a slight quality loss that usually starts to be detectabe after three such cycles if required during editing.
There are Converters on the market that probably do not involve decompression/recompression. Canopus Procoder 2.0 is probably one of them and is inexpensive.
