I could be wrong , we use a Canon HV 20 , I suggest you Export to Tape which should produce a Cineform avi HD file with minimal compression and the quality I have seen is exceptional.

Chris,
Vince is right . We are in PAL land and we need to change the 30fps to 25 fps to Export to Tape via a Canon HV20 in the Clip/Speed Duration @84% and maintain pitch for sound box in Premiere and it does run very smoothly. You should not need to do this to blu-ray. I would not think?

The trial version of CS4 is next to useless for High Definition and the Sony Vegas Pro 9 crashes????????????Could be my older Adobe specified computer for Premiere but, I would expect CS4 would be ok when purchased. I am still using 1.5.1 and it still does a very good job, although be it slow in rendering mov. clips from the Canon EOS 5 D Mark II which has been producing stunning video out of New Zealand and Egypt and Australia in the last 6 months, but, we Export High Definition to Tape only. If you want a round about way for editing , you could Export the timeline to Movie >open a new project> then edit ?, and a Cineform avi file will be produced.( it appears there is no loss of quality if you set the Cineform avi High Definition requirements correctly ).The mov files from the Canon are very large in 1920 x 1080 and slows the editing down as I know I must render using 1.5.1, but, you still have to render in Sony Vegas pro 9. The trial version of CS4 will not work in Australia in High Definition . I will change when we upgrade shortly

Ah, Vince you are so right the footage from the 5D is stunning even to tape, glad the blu-ray thing works too.

Try rendering the whole timeline. We use a Canon HV20 As well as a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The HV20 @25fps is perfect but, the 5D with mov files are difficult unless you render for smooth running on the timeline. Good luck !

Try Clip/Speed duration by right click on clip and alter speed ?

I think you should increase the clip size to High Def 1920 x 1080 pixels

That’s good, you could use a Cineform /avi setting and get the same results.

Good luck……………..

I could be wrong, for 720p use ‘Square Pixels (1.0), in HD we use Anamorphic 1080(1.333)
