We have a Canon HV20 Pal which runs at 25 fps. I would imagine that your HV30 runs at 30Fps in NTSC. You have obviously changed the Project settings to suit, but, I have never found the speed changes to be intirely satisfactory as we run a Canon EOS 5D mark II running at 30fps back to 25 fps to match the out put of Premiere Pro to the HV20.

This is required if you use Export to tape but, not to blu-ray or DVD.

If you find a solution tell me. But, minor bluring should not be a problem . Uneven or unsmooth action could be.The HV20 is pretty good in comparison with a HDD Sony which is a little jittery as the pixel changes cannot keep up with some fast action in football

Quicktime Pro is virtually useless. If you import mov.H264 files into Premiere Pro, render them first ( otherwise they will freeze or work slowly) particularly 1920 x 1080 High definition , there should be no problems. Ps., We work in PAL.

Sorry for double up. Hope it helps.

That’s right, or open all up in Adobe Photoshop, open all up in the window.go to Process Multiple Files and change to correct size required off the Premiere Pro timeline, it is that easy. We do 200 -400 at a time this way.

Hi Richard,

You may have to ditch the Quick Time player , I mean not use it. Leave the files on the computer.Otherwise you cannot import the mov. files into Premiere Pro ?
on a PC the player works but, there is no sound “On play all tracks” the sound is there when playing in pre play mode but, it (the video) is not smooth. Apart from the fact that Premiere pro needs it to process mov. files i doubt if it is very usefull. Even the Apple people said I would not get much joy from it apart from importing movies ????????????

Hi Mark,

I thought rendering in CS4 was a thing of the past. Obviously not. We are still using Premiere Pro 1.5.1 on HDV and Quicktime mov. out of the latest Canons, especially the 5D mark II at 1920 x 1080. I have noticed there are the odd dropped frame in the mov stuff but not HDV out of a Canon HV20. Rendering the mov files from the 5D mark II prior to editing on the timeline can be a bit of a pain 4-5 hours overnight for say 35 mins. But the resulting Export to tape is very professional.and this is with a Pentium 3.4GHZ @800fsb on 2GB ram and 400GB hard drive and a Ultra Sharp 24″ Dell Monitor and run on a Sony 46″ Bravia HD.

I would have thought the speed of your set up would get around these problems

We just use Premiere Elements 4 and it does it automatically from 1920 x 1080, the video quality is very good. Just use share window to U Tube.

If its from a Canon 5D mark II H264 mov , we render the clips on the timeline before editing, somtimes it takes a while but, it does run very smoothly in the end.The resultant export of 1920x 1080 is very, very, good.

Jon is dead right, great article !!!!!!!!!!!!

The pros may not be using avchd, we would not, only tape and H264 mov. from a Canon 5D mark II, the results back to tape are “stunning’ but, if you downgrade 10801 to a DVD at 720 x 576 PAL here, which it should be , the results shown are a little disappointing on a Sony Bravia 46” Full HD Monitor. Run it to Bluray or High Definition tape.

Good editing
