I can do something like that I suppose. I have ProCoder and Cleaner on another machine. I just thought PPro was good at sucking up everything. My dumb ole media player can take it in, why not PPro?

Perhaps 5.5 solved this? I didn’t want to pony up for the upgrade back when. I thought I’d wait for 6.

Ah, so! Thanks for the info.

Well, that settles that. Thanks for the info.

Thanks.

I did a MAX test and set Nth to 2, but the frames were numbered 0000, 0002, 0004. I’m guessing there’s something else I need to set. I’m sure I can figure it out. At least I know it can be done.

I’m not used to working with such a bizzare frame rate. If you cannot set it in your settings tab for custom or alter the auto created sequence frame size, then I don’t know what to do from there.

My suggestion is to use a different program to capture your screen. One that will not cripple you with an odd video format and give you a clean 30fps (a good choice as most computer monitors run a 60 or 120 Hz)

Perhaps you have a 30.3 fps capture because your computer’s refresh rate is set that way, or some such setting that gets you that result. Maybe you can alter your computer monitor res/frame rate such that when you capture to a video, you get a standard frame rate.

I’m using Premier Pro. I guess it’s slightly different. Your “Settings” tab is my “General” tab. I’m guessing your “Custom” option at the top is my “Desktop” setting.
Try Custom. Sounds like the correct option. Good luck.

Create a new sequence and don’t use the video presets in the default tab. Select the “General” tab. Under Editing Mode, drop-down the list and choose “Desktop”. Then set your 720×480 size, pixel ascpect ratio, no fields, audio settings etc…

Drop you clips into that sequence and then you can animate the size and position in the effect area for that clip when selected.

You should be good to go.

Thanks for the response. The Bridge thing sounds like a good workaround. I’ll take every opportunity I get to get Adobe to consider the solution I posted.

I bring in the 1080p sequence into PPro, drop it on the timeline and export to a P2 AVCHD 1080p Class100 clip. I import that and remove the sequence from the bin. The result is indistinguishable from the original uncompressed files.

Then they play in realtime and I can layer them up with effects 8 layers deep without a problem. I don’t work with the sequence clips on the timeline. It doesn’t playback for beans (and I wouldn’t expect it to….not yet, but raw horsepower will get there before too long) that way.

Thanks. I will look at this later today. I submitted a “brightened” version (set to 15 from the default 0) yesterday and yes, it does merely brighten everything, including the blacks.

I’d reather do it better.
Thanks again.

Definitely #1….

I’ve been meaning to look up nesting clips to find out what that is all about and I suspected it would be very useful. It didn’t occur to me to look at this feature for this problem.

Sounds like a winner. Thanks!
