I’ve got about 50% space on there open. It’s a 1 TB SSD and the project is about 200GB’s. All of the apps are on there too, so I’m sitting at about 500GB’s free.

I can’t use the Project Manager to archive this particular project either. I thought I’d maybe try just grabbing what I need and opening a new project, but it error’s out at the end of the function every time.

Do you guys always use the Project Manager to archive? It isn’t something I usually do. I usually just copy/paste the whole project. I don’t want to lose one thing…but maybe I am?

I found that once PE gets done and brings in the new timeline to use, I can go in and pick Cam A and the main audio track and merge them into a single clip. This solves some of my issue with wanting to be able to use the functions of the bin and media manager. Of course, this was after I was 80% done going through all my stuff manually…

I’d be curious to see how it would work with the multi cam setup. I’m still in CS6. Trying real hard to not go to CC but I’m sure I’ll end up there soon enough…especially as SpeedGrade gets better.

Thanks for the responses.

Update.

I cut out even more videos on the timeline and I finally made it through a render. What limits the amount of MP4’s I am able to view/render within Premiere Pro? Is it my hardware or is it the software?

I used to record 10 minute long MP4’s for a video blog. I’d edit and rendering in PrPro with no problem. So I’m inclined to say its a hardware thing, especially since its 2011 and I’m still using 3 GB’s of RAM with a Quad Core…

Again, any thoughts would be appreciated.

And just for some history…

I’ve been using this same cam for over a year now doing this stuff and its just ONE clip that doesn’t seem to work any more…How weird is that?

I’m going to write this off as a learning experience. I’ll be very cautious in the future making any guarantees with this cam. But as you can see. For SO long it just worked.

So, from what I’ve gathered. FLIP cams are not meant to edited on professional softwares…

Thanks for letting me rant. Hopefully someone else finds this useful in the future when searching for FLIP and Premiere Pro.

Again, doing more research and I’ve found that the FLIP is problematic for PP and editing.

Great.

I’ve made a few videos and never had an issue. Long ones, like 10 minutes of me as a talking head, and never had an issue. I just don’t get why, all of a sudden, this doesn’t work.

I suppose I can try editing in AE, though that is a huge pain in the butt…

Lesson learned. If anyone knows a work around, please advise.

Thanks

I’ve been messing with this for a bit now. I noticed that my audio out of my flip cam was 44.1 Compressed Stereo, but my Project is set to 32-bit Floating Point.

However, I can’t figure out how to change the project setting to match the audio of the native file. Anyone know how to do that?

Otherwise, I’m sitting here exporting video out of AE with the correct audio setting, but my files get SO huge coming out of AE that I can’t scrub my timeline and see if I’ve even fixed the issue.

This is the nature of the beast, but this is my biggest gripe about video production. Why can’t we just standardized some stuff so there aren’t these piddly issues that turn into barn burners…

Thanks!

Shaun,

It sounds like you’ve got a couple of things wrong within your document. Let’s look at these quickly, one by one.

As for size, always talk to the printer. Different printers can print different sizes and with different bleed/margin settings. So its best to talk with them before laying anything out.

Secondly, the overset text is an error that pops up when you have a text box that has more text in it that is not being diplayed. Go to the pages it is telling you, highlight the boxes and any box with a little red + sign within a red box in the bottom right are boxes that have over set text. Most times, its extra paragraph returns that got over looked. However, are you using text threads so that text from one box flows into the next box naturally or are all of your text boxes independent of each other and when you need to adjust text in one, you are adjusting text in all of them?

As for the fonts…That’s a tricky one. My guess would be that somewhere in your file you’ve used a font or made an adjustment to a font accidentally that doesn’t exist. Meaning, maybe you told Garamond somewhere to be Bold, but you don’t have the bold face for the family. The real kick in the pants is that it could just be a blank space somewhere. The real remedy to this issue to know and understand how paragraph and character styles work and use them properly because your only solution is to turn on hidden characters and go through paragraph by paragraph and look for any paragraph that when highlighted, the upper left box that shows font and formatting goes blank. That means you have more than one formatting set to the characters inside of that box. Adjust from there.

Hope some of that helps. I would suggest if you are going to be doing a lot of InDesign work, that you hit up a few basic tutorials, get a book or take a quick class. InDesign is super power and awesome! I actually don’t do anything in Word anymore because I can write and format quicker in InDesign and it just looks nicer.

Good luck!

I think I get what you are trying to do and in my experience, you can only move pages/spreads to be next to each other. I’m not 100% sure.

However, I don’t think you need to be frantic about it. Have you talked with your printer? Can’t you just make each page the overall size of the spread, then put in your own guides so you know which is above and below. Then just make sure your printer is aware that they are printing two pages at once, its just a custom spread you made yourself?

Sometimes you just gotta work with what you know and what you got.

Hope that helps.

I don’t think Amazon can do it for anything other than DVD’s and books. Do a quick search for “Create Space” and see, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.

Thanks for the help. I just want to make sure I’ve looked at a lot of options before I give up ya know.

The client suggested at the beginning of the project to state that the video is best viewed on a computer screen. Which it looks fine. However, I was hoping I could take things up a notch. Guess not.

Thanks again!

Right,

But what I’m suggesting is, and I could be wrong, is that screen captured footage is HD. Just like creating graphics in After Effects. Those graphics are then able to make it out and on to an eventual DVD and look good correct?

The original thread was discussing taking captured footage and putting it onto a DVD. And you’ve stated its not possible. I’m only opening it back up with a different thought process with other resources to see if you think, based on the information in the provided links, would it be possible?

Just thinking and looking for feedback from other professionals. My video looks great on my monitor and just OK on my screen. If there is a way to have it look good on both, that would be great, but I’m probably just barking up the wrong tree.

Thanks again!
