Jeff, your post is like a refreshing rain. I’ve posted projects on Elance hoping to pay a consultant to get some clarity out of this situation, and I have been unable to.
You’ve helped me so much. PLEASE let me pay you. PM me a paypal email address – let me buy your next lunch.
Fortunately, I am editing in the 1280x720p project setting as you say. The reason I shot in 24p, was because I was told it would provide a “more cinematic look”… I didn’t realize all DVDs are 30fps.
A few more questions, if you have a second and would like to earn a bigger tip.. (maybe add a shot of scotch to your lunch?):
1) Do you think I should shoot at 30fps from now on?
2) My project mostly IS “talking head” (me in front of an infinite-white backdrop), with tons of text slides, stock photos, and a few stock footage clips dropped in. The stock photos have ‘zoom and pan’ effects, so they’re not quite completely still – but I’d say 50% of the reel is me talking, and 50% is either text slides (40%), stock photos w/ zoom/pan (40%), or stock footage OR self-shot B-roll (10%).
That said, I’m sure I can find more information online about this, but what encoding settings work best to bring into Encore? I know when I shoot a lot of “slide show” videos, Media Encoder will estimate a 1.1GB file, but it ends up being just 200mb or so. Is there a resource you recommend for me to learn more about how to MAXIMIZE quality while MINIMIZING size?
Knowing this about my project, do you have a “target length” that you’d try to fit onto each DVD? It’s LOOKING like I’ll have about 5 hours of footage to try to put on 3 DVDs for this part of the project. Do you think that will be a problem?
3) For the next part of my project, I will have to shoot one camera at 1920×1080 30fps, and the other 1280×720 60fps, because I need the ability to slow Camera B down 50% (it’ll be outdoor action shots of people jumping around). Will this be okay?
Thank you SO MUCH, Jeff.

#&@^$!!! That is incredible! Was it a 4k movie? is there any clips of it anywhere? I need some editing inspiration this morning… I’ve got the “just crossed the 50% mark” blues.

Wow! That feature and especially your project, are amazing! GOOD LUCK on that sucker!

Okay Casey, that helps a lot. I can’t switch in the middle of this project obviously, but it sounds like I should add that to the purchase queue (right after one more T3i, hehe).
One question about Multicam… I shot this project with 2 cams. But CS5.5 seems to work okay, I just have the base video layer visible, and an invisible video layer above it where I put the second angle. I sync up both sets of footage when import them, and when I want to use the second angle, I slice them both, and drag the second angle onto the base layer (after I move the base layer to another invisible “junk” track).
Is that not how everyone else does it?

Thank you very much, Ivan!

I’m not sure if I follow, Casey- what’s $375? Is that the cost of the new Premiere? Now let me ask you this, broseph: do you think the upgrade to the new premiere is worth it?
I’ve always wondered… 5.5 is the only one I’ve ever used, so I don’t know how ambitious new adobe releases are.
Thanks mate!

I’m on CS5.5… maybe I’m stuck dragging the transitions?

Man… I just can’t get it to do that. Here’s a screen video… am I doing something wrong?
THANK YOU!

Help!
Has anyone else run into this? I’ve been using premiere forever, and this has never happened. But now, using the exact same settings as always, this is happening to me.
Anyone? Help!!
