Hi Benjamin,

Great question – for clarification – are you looking to be able to play this ‘anywhere’, or are you looking for keeping an editable ‘flat’ version? Is Quicktime .mov a requirement, or would MXF, MPEG/H.264 be a viable option?

Hi Roman,

Though I’m not entirely sure what you mean by a 35mm screen, the resolution of your sequence setting is something you can think of as your ‘top end’ resolution. When you’re done with your edits, you can export to pretty much any size you like. If you provide some more details about the project you’re working on that might be helpful to give more targeted guidance.

I think though what you’re describing is that your source video and stills are larger than the sequence. There’s an option called ‘Scale To Frame size’, which will automatically scale video frames down to fit within a particular sequence size. This is an option on a per-clip-in-timeline basis, and can be set to be the default in (win) Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Default scale to frame size (mac) Apple menu -> Preferences (etc).

You can also adjust the size / scale / rotation of a clip in the timeline when you have it selected in the timeline using the ‘Effect Controls’ window, or if you just click on it in the program montior, you get into ‘direct manipulation mode’ where you can see the size and scale handles as you would in Photoshop, etc.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

You might want to give this a try, I’ve used this with mov wrapped xdcam files. Premiere/AE/Encore etc can work with many MXF based ‘folder structure’ camera formats.

Hopefully this gets your sources in – I’ll tell you though that having to go through quicktime is less than ideal from a speed perspective.

Cheers,

Thanks Todd – right you are.

Hi there,

The default location for Premiere/AME/AE/Encore to store the pek (audio peak), cfa (conformed audio – uncompressed audio from compressed sources), and related intermediate/accelerator files is here:
\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache and Media Cache Files

So long as none of the said applications are running, you can freely delete these two directories, and they’ll be recreated on next launch. However, since this is where these accelerator files are shared, they’ll be recreated next time you import a source that needs one.

For example, in Premiere you can change where these files are stored by going to Edit > Preferences > Media, and change the Media Cache Files for example. Media Cache stores .mcdb files which is the relationship between the media and the accelerator.

Cheers,
