I’m usually setting a camera and recording an entire program in a single run (three cameras, spaced around the auditorium) so I hadn’t thought of using scene detection! Brilliant. I also didn’t know about HDVsplit. Trying it now. Thanks!

Captured by Premiere. It’s an older camera (JVC GR-HD1), so 1280x720p is correct.
Any ideas about getting past the corrupted frames?

Thank you for everyone’s input. I’m still learning, and because I do this only as a sideline, the process is a slow one.
My video card isn’t nearly fast enough to cope well with .mts files, so I was looking to render the footage to a format that might display better and make editing less jittery and frustrating.
In experimenting with AVI, DV was the only format available to me, and I KNOW I’ve been able to output in all kinds of resolutions before, and I got stuck on that mindset.
Switching to MPEG-2 opened up the field.
Thank you again!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Target format is DVD. It’s for school program videos in a district that’s pretty economically depressed, so Bluray doesn’t have the acceptance it might otherwise. DVD is still the preferred format, and I’m working in 16:9, not 4:3, so conversion between the two isn’t at issue.
As to nested sequences, that seems like unnecessary hoops to jump through. What I’m trying to work out is why my render doesn’t fill the frame, when the settings suggest it should.

Yep, that was just the thing. When I took off the easing, the issue went away. Thank you!

Well, okay, workaround = creating another video track permanently zoomed in. But still: why should Premiere throw in all this extra scale activity between identical keyframes?
-
Never mind, worked it out. For posterity – and anyone else who comes along that might need this:
Window -> Workspace -> Reset Current Workspace
Seems to have done the trick. (Such a simple solution after mucking through the XML of .pproj file for an hour.)

I”m a big fan of Kunaki.com, myself. They duplicate discs rather than replicate, which is sufficient for most applications, so they’re extremely inexpensive. Not user friendly, by any means: the system is totally automated. I’ve been very pleased with everything I’ve gotten from them.

you will first want to parent the stabilized layer to a Null and then use the Null to apply transformations to the stabilized layer.
AHA! That was just the ticket. A little bit of zoom, then moved the null around to keep the image more or less centered. I didn’t put a whole lot of effort into the initial take, but the little bit I did do shows me this will get me right where I need to be.
Thank you, sir.

the problem is that you are not tracking, you are choosing stabilize…
A key distinction I missed. Wrong mindset, I guess. Thanks for that.
