In premiere when you look at your transcode settings in the Media encoder, it is under the Video area. Underneath where you choose the video codec settings, you can tell the encoder a frame size.

Ok, this is yet another possibility, https://store.yahoo.com/cooldrives/usbotgshcou2.html This might also work to hook a camera to. You’d pay $40 bucks for this device, then take two usb cables and an external usb2.0 hdd of any make. You could even make one yourself from one of seagates 500 gb drives and then you’d be able to transfer your p2 cards to the hdd whenever they got full.

Sorry that I was misleading, what I was thinking was that after you recorded onto 1 p2 card or even 2, you could plug this into the camera and turn both of them on. I think that once you did that and then hit the “transfer/Backup” button on the enclosure that it would transfer the footage from the card. I know that the 2.5 hdd wouldn’t be reliable/fast enough for direct capture, but this setup if it worked would allow those of us that don’t want to haul a laptop around or a $2000 firestore to be able to transfer data off of a p2 card.

I’ve had the same problem in both Premiere and After Effects, I was hoping that it was because I didnt’ have quicktime Pro, but since you have it and it doesn’t work that means that there is something fishy going on. I’ve notice that it only changes the bit rate when you change the export size.

This might be too painfully easy, but have you installed the 1.51 update on your computer? If you are not using the exact same or newer version of the software then it wouldn’t work. Hope that helps. By the way, I’ve transferred all kinds of projects over email, hdds, flash drives, and never had a problem when I was using the same version.

Or if you already have things imported and you don’t want to reimport (this only really applies if you have cut your clips) then you could scale one clip to the right size and then click on the word motion in the effects control window and then select Edit then copy or use CTRL+C and then marquee select all the dv clips and Paste.

You could post a link to your prproj file on here and one of us could export it to an edl for you. Just post a link to the file and then where we can send you the edl.

If you’re using Premiere Pro 1.5 you select “Export Project as EDL” from the Project menu. then just choose which sequence you want exported and choose your tracks to export.

Toke, I think the difference between 3-5 pictures and a video stream is huge. The Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II will do 11 pictures in the raw format which is 11 x 14.6 megabytes of data = 160.6MB It will do that at 4 fps, so in almost 3 seconds you can shoot 160.6 MB of data, I’ll admit that is a higher stream than DVCPROHD, but, that is its max and then it has to stop and clear it buffer and then once it is clear you can start shooting again. At DVCPROHD’s data stream which is 12.5 MB/sec (100 MBit/sec/8bits per byte) you could record about 13 seconds of DVCPROHD footage, but then it would max out (assuming the same buffer size) The point is that no one wants a videocamera that records to solid state memory that will hit the limit, stop and clear the buffer, and then is ready to record again a few seconds later. Just because a CF card says it can sustain a certain data rate it doesn’t necessarily mean that it always will. That is why they have put 4 sd cards into one p2 card with a Raid 0 setup. So that you never have to worry if you’re dropping frames. (and so that you can transfer faster than real time to your computer if it is fast enough 🙂 Anyway, we all know that the price of p2 cards will drop, if not use the firestore drive. P2 cards are Cutting edge technology (PCMCIA card sized drive that contains a 4 drive raid 0 setup!) of course they are going to cost thousands.

Even though I don’t think I’ve been afflicted with this problem, I’d like to see a “gap checker” utility. I’m definetly glad though that it doesn’t force your clips together on the timeline. Basic programs like Windows Movie maker, Producer, and Premiere elements (I think) do that. One easy way to check all of your cuts really fast is to zoom your timeline in and then use the page up and page down keys to jump to the next cut, I can check at lease 60 cuts a minute that way.
