Are you sure? I found this previous post by Tim Kurkoski saying to not use “Uncompressed Microsoft AVI” outside Production Studio apps because it won’t work.

I’m thinking “Microsoft AVI” set to “None” might be the right choice but I’m not sure what to do about the PAR and frame size issue for computer playback.

Okay, that’s really disturbing. I went through a careful process of dithering the audio from 24-bit to 16-bit in Protools to avoid truncation and round-off. Then PPro2 will increase the bit depth from 16 to 32 on import and then decrease it from 32 to 16 on export? I’m not doing an audio editing in PPro2! Why am I forced to screw around with the bit depth? This is dangerous as the whole 16-32-16 conversion could introduce distortion and interpretation errors. Is PPro2 dithering on export?

Thanks Steve, but it has to be uncompressed for my client. What settings do you suggest?

I did some more reading on this. It appears the “Uncompressed Microsoft AVI” codec relies on the AJA Xena HS capture card which I don’t have. I assume good old Microsoft AVI set to None is the correct choice? Should I change PAR to 1.0?

Ctrl-K?

I don’t think PPro2 has transport control of HDV devices. You have to manually start recording on the VTR.

I would try the new Luma corrector filter in PPro 2.0. You can adjust the contrast, gain, gamma, and pedestal and fine-tune tonal ranges. For regional corrections, try the Luma corrector with track mattes or the new secondary color correction feature.

Other users have reported this same problem on the Adobe forums and have narrowed it down to conflicting installations of Morgan Switcher and old Decklink drivers. Would you have either of these installed?

Alot of users had the Canopus DVStorm2 which apparently isn’t supported in PPro 2.0. I had the excellent Pinnacle Pro-ONE card years ago but was burned by Pinnacle when they dropped support for Premiere. I stopped buying the RT cards because they have such a short life cycle. PPro 2.0 works fine without them if you have a decent system.

Just right-click on the video asset in Encore and select a transcode setting or go to transcode from the File menu. Try a 7Mb VBR1, VBR2, or 8Mb CBR setting and see if that improves the video.
