ya thing is I finished my short term project – and now have a long term project left – (I can spare the time of installing & uninstalling)

I guess question is if to install CS4 with CS3 still on the system or to uninstall CS3 before.

I see what you are saying.

but Im using many plugins as well (Trapcode, Boris continuum , Red giant look suits etc.)

I’m afraid that they wont be compatible with CS4.

Are you sure that everything works the same flawlessly?
Does any of these pluging working on CS4?

“you can edit the 16×9 media in a 4×3 Seq with the scale to frame function. it will force fit the widescreen to be the exact
proportions required to fit perfectly with letterboxing. This feature can be switched on to apply to any media added to timeline be default in the Preferences>General tab.”

Thanks – Jon Barrie!
Sounds great only problem that when I check this option – and put the selected 16:9 clip to the 4:3 timeline – nothing changes – the footage is still cropped! 🙁

Check this:

I even tried to restart Premiere (for changes to take place) – nothing..

What am I doing wrong?

BTW great web site you got there!

Thanks,

I think the best solution for me is just to edit the 16:9 in the 4:3 Timeline – and the to copy paste motion effect (with scale set to 75%).
This way I’ll create black bars at top and bottom of the frame.
What do you say?

– And thank god Adobe realized its necessary to be able to create different aspect ratio sequences in the same project.

As to CS4 – No way I’m going to install CS4 before they correct the birth bugs.

About the other option.
If I create a Temp 16:9 project and import the 4:3 I understand it will allow me to edit in 16:9.

But I want to keep on working on more sequences that are in the 4:3 project.

Tell me this.
If I import project A-(4:3) to project B-(16:9).
And then I’ll make changes on Project A.
Will the changes update in B project?

Am I making myself clear?

If I have to use nested projects – can they be synchronized?

Hell no, it should be very simple.
I dont need to use chroma key in this case. since I have the background shot seperatly I do have the data to be removed..
its just that stupid Adobe didn’t embed such a simple action.
You have it in other NLEs

Anyhow I’m going to use this proggie:
Serious Magic Ultra

It should do the job…
If some1 else has a plugin to premiere that does this simple task please replay.

Yup – its going to be a really big presentation

a lot of text and images and a lot of objects animation
+ video clips that will appear and disappear.

Its going to be heavy…

thats why I’m thinking about converting it to flash (once I’ll finish creating it)
because I’m really afraid that the shitty laptop my client will use will not take it well…

Can you recommend of a good PPT2FLASH converter? that will deal with Power point 2007 and video integration.

I thought of creating the hole damn thing on Apple’s Keynote – and export it to Flash – but the flash export options pretty much don’t exist. + it doesn’t export video and the transitions. 🙁

So I found its possible to export to Quick time – that actually has many options
ans it could be exported in HIGH quality.
In it has manual progress option!
the only problem is that I cant skip a slide that is running a video clip. I have to wait for the clip to end – only than its possible to move to the next animation or slide.

Thats why I went back to Power point.

512K is Very low… I thought of Microsoft DV AVI or DV type 2
but is seems that the resolution is fixed in this format… and as mentioned before I need a cropped left\right edges.

So maybe I will need to settle on WMV format. maybe if I keep the bit rate high – it will be enough.

I think I’ll go to 1500K at least. please tell -I’ll need to test the presentation on a slow machine to see if its to heavy to run 3 simultaneous clips.. again it has to be very high quality! to see the details of the drills.

Thanks again…

Thanks! it worked I resized the source and changes the target resolution(the export to adobe media encoder.
Now question is what is the best quality format that I can export using “Adobe Media Encoder”

It should be imported to a Power point presentation
to run a up to 3 videos at once.
high quality but not CPU consuming – because it will be run on a laptop/

which VIDEO format would you recommend?

CHEERS!

Yes, but I want to export the entire time line as multi track..

can I export the time line from premiere to audition? (I nderstand the in soundbooth there is no chance to edit in multi track)
