VOB files are basically MPEG. You can change file file extension to MPG and it should drop right into the timeline. For that matter, I have dropped the files, still with the VOB file extension, right into the timeline.

I am curious – how does the system prevent you from adding them to the timeline? Do you get a warning or dialog box? What version of Premiere Pro are you running, and what system type?

Personally I would only use h.264 MP4 as a final deliverable (if appropriate or specified) rather than an editing codec. It is a high compression, lossy codec.

I have run into this once in a while too. I rename the folder, then replace the media, and it is good to go.

h.264 is the codec as opposed to the format (or wrapper). What is the file extension of your finished renders? Did that change?

Are you working from a custom preset you use regularly?

I am presuming you are new to After Effects. If you already know what I am sharing here, please disregard.

AE ships with some basic goodies right out of the box. Go to the Animation dropdown menu and select “Browse Presets”.

One of the folder you will find is titled “Text”. Within that folder are assorted goodies to help you get started.

I downloaded the free graymachine kit (graymachine.com) that makes doing things like bullet point builds and reveals quick and easy. Plus, there’s no shortage of free AE template out in the wild ready to help you get off to a quicker start.

April 1, 2016 at 6:37 pm in reply to: Save As in Title Tool

That is pretty much the best way to do it in the Title Tool. There is no “Save As” function in it.

But you can also crank these out easily in After Effects. Download the freebie effects from graymachine (https://www.graymachine.com/tutorials/graymachine-super-awesome-presets-1/) and use his bullet point-making goodies.

Super easy to use, plus you can add some motion. Takes little time to render. I use them a lot for simple bullet lists.

Philippe, please give us more information. What wrapper/codec is your footage? How about your computer, including storage, RAM and video card? We need more information before anyone can really help.

We routinely use MP4 (h.264 codec) as a final deliverable for paid half-hour programs. We get satisfactory results and have a final file size of about 1.2GB.

March 28, 2016 at 2:42 pm in reply to: Hide subtitle in premier pro

Back in the ancient SD days, we would place a wipe on the footage that killed the first 25 lines or so, and record that to another source, then use the wiped footage in the production. This eliminated the lines with the closed caption encoding. I would think this would work for HD as well.

But that is if you are talking about closed captions. If you really are talking about subtitles, they are baked into the video, and you can only mask them or blur them.

Have you checked your track patching at the left end of the timeline? Your patching there may be forcing the issue.
