Rather than deleting, just move them to a folder on your desktop and test Premiere. If Premiere opens and works just fine, then delete the files, if not, just move them back to their original folder.

Thanks for defending me so eloquently George, I guess it’s impossible to retire gracefully on the Internet, as every word we ever posted will remain in play forever. I guess long after I’m dead there will be people questioning my posts no matter how helpful I tried to be throughout my nearly twenty years of trying to provide useful solutions.

Why not test it Mark? It is free after all.

It was shot at 24fps, but was the image sequence shot 1 to 1 with any pull down, etc.?
It’s never as easy as you think, “most of the time.”
I’m going into a no cell zone, so y’all are on your own to sort out this mini-mystery.

You didn’t say why you wanted to uprez the 720p material, so let me just say, if you want to intercut the 720p with 1080 footage, you could just drop the 720p footage into a 1080
timeline and just cut away, no uprezing necessary.David Roth Weiss

If you simply want to archive the media, cutting a pasting will work, but if you want to archive Premiere projects that open with the media connected, that would pretty much require that you Project Manage, but keep in mind, it will NOT preserve your folder structure. Definitely read the manual on that section, and search for helpful video on YouTube before beginning.

I don’t remember how to do, but you need to trash your thumbnail images. When they rebuild they will be fine.

Kevin,
You say you only want it run smoothly, but I’m sure that if your video played smoothly, but was totally pixelated, you’d not be happy at all. Right? That’s because ALL video compressionists struggle with file size, which affects smooth play, vs video quality, which affects perceived video quality. And, because file size and video quality are directly related I one another, you can’t ignore either. That being said, modern compression is awesome, and it allows for very high quality at relatively small file sizes.
Most important, is that you understand the limitations of each site where you’ll post your video, because they all have different upload restrictions. For instance, if your video is short enough, you can upload a hi-Res master, and just let YouTube recompress. But, if your video file is too big for Youtube or another site, you simply need to experiment with different bit rates until you successfully create a file that is the about as high as you can go, but one that doesn’t exceed the upload requirements of the site to which you’re uploading. Once you experiment and successfully do it a few times, write down your successful results and use those the next time. It’s not rocket science, but it is science none the less.

Your logic is understandable, but subtitling every line of dialog would be totally inefficient. If you don’t understand the language you need to get a full time assistant who does.
