Also, I can’t see and option to turn the A/V Duration synchronisation on.

Apparently, if we can’t adhere to these settings, we can’t do the work. How important is the duration synchronisation anyway?

I may be being completely ignorant

Hi,

He’s using CS3, but the option to set the video bitrate and audio codec are greyed out??

Also, I spoke to someone who does the same thing as me, who also uses Premiere Pro CS3, and they confirmed it cannot be done in Premiere Pro and they use Sorenson Squeeze. Surely this is wrong?

I’ve managed to get hold of a copy of Premiere CS4 to have a look myself, and it’s all there easy enough. But when I looked at the cs3 version yesterday, the export window was different and some of the tick boxes were greyed out and couldn’t be adjusted.

Does that make sense at all?

Thanks everyone for your input, that was all really useful advice.

One more thing….Covering the window will be fairly tricky you see as it goes from floor to ceiling, right the way across the wall and the people who own the building will not allow me to stick things on the windows.

I mentioned I use a Canon XHA1s which can take any lens filter with a thread size of 72mm. Would it have the same effect to put an ND attatchment on the camera rather than on the entire window? This is what a photographer suggested as that is what they would do, but I am guessing it is different for video for some reason?

Many thanks

Sorry, forgot to say the web capture footage was captured in h.264

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your response. I was editing in 1440 as there was one clip that was that size. So, though I realise it was silly now, I set the sequence to the larger one.

However, I have now changed to a 720 timeline, but I am still having problems. I have removed the larger clip and now all of my clips and images are 1280 x 720.

If I export directly from FCP using current setting, the web capture footage looks great but some of the photos look pixelated on certain edges (a woman’s hat).

If I take the file into compressor and compress using h.264 set at 1280 x 720, pixel size square, everything else looks ok but the web capture footage is back to how it was. Also when I play it in quicktime player, the framsize is still 720×1280 butit says Current Size: 1248 x 702 pixels (Actual size).

Is there a better compression or codec I should be using?

Thanks

Oh and as an added extra, the web capture footage does look a little sharper before it goes into FCP and back out again. Is this to do with the sequence setting?

Funny you should say that Mark, I saw it on Stephen’s biog earlier and I am definately thinking of getting my order in. You should still have words with Stephen though, I reckon the going rate is about 15%!!!

Wow! I’ve deleted the belt and copied the cogs (or the gears) and I have exactly what I needed. Thanks loads : – )

[Jessica Shaughnessy]

Sorry, the pre-built cogs, which sound just what I need!

Sorry – I’m having trouble locating it. Can you post a link? Thanks for you help.
