JPEG should definitely be a Save option, however it won’t show if a the format of the current image is not allowed by JPEG. Here’s a discussion:

January 20, 2015 at 10:32 pm in reply to: when you’re zooming/panning on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter what image format the stills were scanned and saved as???JPEGs are perfectly fine. I set the quality slider to medium high.
You can set DPI to anything; it does not matter. DPI is a metric that affects print but not video. What matters is pixel dimensions. Depending on how much blow-up your move may do, you should do a scan that is about 2x your timeline resolution in the horizontal dimension. Excessive pixel size only bogs down the performance of your system.
Also worth knowing is that Moire patterns and jittery details on (especially) horizontal lines are the result of stills that are too sharp. In the past the solution was to apply some blur to the original still, re-import it and re-render the move, i.e. the blur had to be processed before the move or it wouldn’t work. However I was very pleased to discover the other day that in Premiere (at least the recent version) it works to apply a Gaussian blur filter to the “over-sharp” still clip and it will eliminate the jitter. Obviously, much easier.
Also related: I haven’t recently checked Premiere but Avid and Final Cut Pro can only deal with stills in RGB color Mode, not CMYK or grey scale.

January 15, 2015 at 3:46 pm in reply to: Save, Close, Re-open Premiere Project fails to reopen to last saved sequence?I read that it is fixed in the current release however it only works with newly created projects. You can fix an older project by using media browser to import all the items of an existing project into a new blank project. I’ve only tried it once but it worked.

You “buried the lead” as they say. It looks like the update up this morning is the one with the IBC announced new features.

No, timecode won’t go negative. The convention is to start your sequence at 1:00:00:00 (1 hour), or in Europe, 10:00:00:00 is sometimes used. Back up from there to make time for Bars, Slate and Countdown.

When you have two identical channels of audio that sound fine on their own but very muffled or gone when heard together, it tells you that somewhere along the line one of the channels got inverted. In other words its waveform is upside-down and when summed with a non-inverted channel, the two cancel each other out. The fix is to add the Invert effect on one of the channels.
