Okay, thankyou for the advice. I do plan to do zooming like that.

On the topic of zooming. Will I only have extra resolution from within Premiere Pro to do focal length changes? Or can I export a .mov file and use it another program to do it and still see the same gain in quality compared to my 720 clips exported in that .mov file. If Yes then do I have to keep the same resolution as my sequence from within Premiere Pro (keeping 720 on my exported mov) or can I say, export to an SD res and still benefit from the extra resolution of the 1080 when doing focal stuff?

By the way, do you use Adobe Media Encoder to encode footage?
I have a multiple sequence project (about 15 sequences) and went to export/encode using AME. I imported the sequences there and wanted to have a different export setting for each one according to the frame rates of my sequences in Premiere Pro. With my Project panel and the AME window up I can quickly scan across to check the fps of the sequence and then go back to select my AME custom encoding preset, but I can’t sort the sequence’s in AME by name so the two windows don’t match up linearly.
Is there any way to sort the sequences in the AME encoding page by their names in Premiere Pro?
It’s not that big of a deal if you can’t sort sequences by name in AME but it would be a time-saver for me if this is available to do.

Also slightly offtopic, but is there any way to, by using key commands, switch between the Source Monitor and the Program Monitor panels in Premiere Pro?

Thankyou for your help once again!

[Freddie Hill]

Wow. Thankyou for the fast response!
I understand that making no sense now to do thatl.
Great. That’s what i’ll do, i’ll work at 720p and rescale the 1080p down.

Ok, thankyou for the help on this issue Chris! I’m going to do what you said to my clips and adjust them at 1080p.
I’m not sure if I explained myself right. I’m sorry!
Vevo has all their videos with black bars and i’m not sure why.

It’s definitely bars because when I download these ‘top 40’ music videos:
this:

and this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmp6zIr5y4U

the second one doesn’t have bars and the first does.
Do you know why this is/why they would do that to their footage? I’ve read about people doing that sort of thing to give a more ‘film’ look.
With the black bars being placed on on my original file, if I scale the first one’s height will I get a distorted image?

Thanks for the advice.
My final product is going to be at 854×480. Does that make a difference on which one I resize up to the other?

[Freddie Hill]

Yes, they are music videos from the web that i’m re editing. All Vevo videos have black bars above and below them, not sure why though.

[Freddie Hill]

Okay I understand now. Thankyou for the advice.
By encoding from H.264 to pro res and then to jpeg will I lose quality out of the final jpeg codecs than if I just encode from H.264 to Jpeg?

I’m using jpeg because I manipulate the playback of clips in realtime so i need a codec that can key every frame & not a progressive one.
