Cool. I thought that might be an issue.

It’s hard to say though without outside perspective. I guess I just have to really keep rending an effects on the high profile until I can upgrade.

I guess Premiere is more demanding than After Effects in that manner then cuz I use After Effects a lot and don’t have that problem. Granted, rendering takes forever, but it doesn’t just pull a total fail.

Thanks David!

It’s CS5. I’m on a MacMini with 4 GB of RAM. After Effects does fine as well as all my audio programs. However, it doesn’t take much to wreck Premiere.

I do have some Red Giant stuff installed, but…I’m not really using it yet. Still trying to get things edited.

Right, 12 fps is pretty rare. The cool thing about Adobe Premiere is that if I put 12 fps material in a 15 fps sequence or 24 fps sequence, it doesn’t stretch the speed. It interpolates it within the time frame dividing the frames. So from sequence to sequence nothing speeds up or slows down. Really nice to have when testing speed rates.

That’s a pretty good link. What’s even better is the link at the bottom of it’s page:

I thought Fast Blur looked a lot like gaussian. I’ll have to give box blur a test run as well since it sounds like it can function like a fast blur but has iteration control to make it more flexible.

Thanks Todd!

Awesome. Thanks!

Cool, I’ll try to use only presets that are 16-bit or higher. Fast blur looks a lot more like what I’m going for. I couldn’t find camera blur. Do you mean lens blur or referring to AE’s shutter settings?

Thanks Ted!

Hi everybody,

My footage was shot at 30 fps, but with double frames. I’m not sure what the technical term is, but it’s like 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc. because my final cut is going to be in 15 fps, almost like a flipbook.

I can’t edit in 30 fps and then change speeds for audio matching-sake.

However, I’ve managed to get Premiere to interpret the footage though, so I’m most likely going to go with that instead just because my project is so left field.

Thanks a bunch for all your feedback! 🙂

Awesome! Thanks SO MUCH for your help Chris.

I’ll ask the camera/editor about the original MXF files if you think it’d be better.

What are the benefits going down the pipe? Is it something I should strongly consider before getting started?

So stoked, was heading back to FCPro 5 if I couldn’t sort something out in 15 fps. THANKS AGAIN!!! 😀

Hi Chris,

Here’s the file path:

https://axiom-media.com/stuff/estranged_video_sample.mov

It’s heavy as I didn’t want to compress anything. The saved out version is actually locatable by Premiere. However, I’m still getting the same aspect ratio issue, so hopefully it’s a good demo.

I probably should’ve saved it as a ZIP.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look at this. That’s really awesome.

Let me know if I can provide anything else. 🙂

Peace,

Hi Chris,

I found the media browser. The answer is a resounding ‘no’! 🙂 Nothing shows up. Same as the Finder. It just lets me load the folder of files.

Then when I drag them in they’re off. Here’s a screen grab:

If I set the aspect ratio to true 1280×1080 is adds black on the sides. I’ve gone through pixel ratios, different formats, all kinds of stuff.

When I look at the raw footage it’s fine. It’s like it’s reading the wrong number or something.

Is it’s not showing up mean something? I’ve had aspect ratio duality issues before, but it was a long time ago and forgot what we did.

Thanks for any added feedback Chris. 🙂
