Let me elaborate on my title workflow. I’m currently working on several dance recitals with a LOT of titles (one for each act), and I want to have a “template” for uniformity. I make the first title and place it, then copy/paste that “Title 1” into next slot, then open it in Titler by double-clicking on it in the sequence.
I next hit the button to make a copy, and rename “Title 2” or whatever, then alter the title contents and exit. When I go back to Premiere, the “Title 1” is still highlighted, and I right-click and choose “Replace with clip from bin”, which is the latest “Title 2” I just created. Done! Automatically replaces with updated title and maintains the current length and any effects.
Hope this helps

Hi Jason,
Very good point! This trick is great for tightening up/adjusting framing, or as mentioned, add some motion using keyframes. If you plan any scaling this way, uncheck “Scale to Frame” first then use Adobe Motion as needed.

Open the title, and at the upper left of the Titler window is a button that will duplicate the current title, with a new name, then you can make your changes.

One more thing – in Premiere Preferences, there is a checkbox for “Scale to Frame Size”. I like to keep that enabled, but it doesn’t affect clips that were already imported before you made the change.
In any event, you can just right-click a clip on the timeline and check or un-check scale to frame there. With this enabled, just put the 1080p clips into the 720p sequence and they should scale and look fine automatically.
When you do the final export, be sure to set square pixels (1.0) for the aspect ratio

When you upscale video, there is some quality loss since the image is being “blown up”. So, it would not make sense to upscale the 720p to 1080p, only to turn around and downscale it again.
Work at 720p, and export the final to the desired SD widescreen sizing.

Hi Freddie,
The easy answer is – edit with the format you want to deliver in. How are you going to deliver the product, 720p or 1080p? If going to the web, then 720p makes more sense.

Hi Phil,
My understanding is that most (if not all) HDV camcorders that offer 24p or 30p modes actually record that signal in a 1080i wrapper (pulldown is added) so even if you shot in 1080p30 you may need to capture as 1080i60

I haven’t seen that, but then I guess I always am fading up from black and wouldn’t notice. Have you zoomed into the timeline down to the frame level to verify that there is not in fact an empty frame before the video clips starts?
Another thing to try would be to “Export Work Area” rather than “Entire Sequence”, and move In point of the work area over a frame or two.

Instead of using “Import”, you should be using the “Media Browser” in Premiere for importing that type of footage. I don’t know what’s going on with the current issue, but try Media Browser next time.

File > New > Sequence
Go to original sequence and “Select All” and “Copy”, then go to new sequence and Paste.
