The pop up appears over the timeline when I try to drag in footage that’s not compatible with the sequence settings. I tried to override it but the results were bad.

The black bars appear on VLC Video LAN player, but also everywhere else, including re-importing into Premiere.

Here once again, after the encoder showed a perfectly trimmed Output image, the export came out with bars:

Thank you, Jeff.
* I tried the HDV 720p Sequence setting but the footage was rejected by the pop up. Seems like I need the PAL setting.
* I tried exporting using the settings you gave for the encoder but got the black bars.

[Robert Gilbert]

Thanks, Jeff!
Here it is.
I noticed that the encoder gave me 720 x 576 which seems wrong ( I upscaled it a long time ago) but when I tried to move it up to 1344 x 1080 the encoder wouldn’t accept it, no matter what profile and level I tried it with.

I shot this using the “Letterbox” setting on a Panasonic DVX in PAL progressive. I was later told that that’s a fake 6/19 inside a 4/3 frame, so I’m hoping the extracted image (i.e., no bars) will be an acceptable aspect ratio for YouTube.

The Sequence setting for this trial clip (shown above) is D1/ DV PAL Widescreen 16/9. The sequence setting for the entire film is D1/ DV PAL. Which should I be using?

[Robert Gilbert]

Thank you very much, Jeff!

I tried the 720p sequence like you said but it came out with black bars above and beneath. I chose HDV 720p for the sequence (I usually use the DV PAL) and for the export I chose YouTube HD720p25. Didn’t work. Please tell me if you know why.

The video is destined for film festivals which accept either uploads or links to YouTube. I’d appreciate very much if you have another method.

BTW I tried this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGKScVb7emQ But it didn’t work for me either.

Could you please advise me further?

Thanks, Chris.

[Robert Gilbert]

Thank you very much, David. Wish i had known that before i converted R3D to HQ. I would have gone with LT.
Now, i’ve already started editing everything directly on the timeline: a slow workflow, but it seems like my only choice at this point.

PLEASE TELL ME WHICH CODECS I SHOULD TRY for Pro Res 422HQ NTSC 2048 x 1080 (1.0) 24p (on CS4 on LION). THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[Robert Gilbert]

Thanks but I’m on CS4 and I don’t have any audio on the clip. The clip is 2048×1080 (1.0) at 23.98 fps. It’s like it can’t handle HD.

[Robert Gilbert]

Please tell me what info you need and I’ll try to provide it. I never had this problem before with other codecs and other clips play fine but this one stutters no matter what codec I use (I haven’t tryed all of them) like maybe there’s a problem generating a preview file or something (obviously I’m no expert).
