Hey Jeff,
I remember you mentioning that you applied Denoiser several times to each clip to obtain a specific effect; what happens if you only leave one instance of the effect in there ?
I’m sure this is going to be a workflow nightmare since you seem to be pretty far along in your project, but one thing to try would be nesting the clips (drag to new sequence) and applying the effect to that new sequence. That might mean isolating different scenes to different tracks and creating a new sequence for each track. I would at least try one to see if that solves your issue and you’ll know you’re getting somewhere.

Well, the reverb effect is actually used to “add” reverb, and not remove it. Reverb is going to be extremely difficult to remove, without getting a muddy result which, in the end, will probably sound fake and worse than the original.
Some more advanced audio applications have tools such as phase collapse and companding (which may help a little), but none of these come with Premiere. The only thing you could try is using the gate effect, part of the “Dynamics” effect. That will simply cut of the signal below a certain level, and mixed with prerecorded room noise you could get descent results, but you are talking about a huge amount of time.
A shotgun mic as close as possible to the talent, or even a lavaliere is going to be the only way to reduce reverb next time.Vince

There’s an idea for Aanarav’s next 30 tutorials 😉
Other than the Premiere help file or The Total Training DVDs, I really don’t know of any that really explain the filters.
The parametric EQ basically allows you to select a very specific range of frequencies and either bring them up or down.
That range can be narrowed or widened using the Q setting, and the center of that range is affected by the C setting. The boost is used to bring up or take down the gain on the frequencies. So, for the hiss, use C to find its frequency (probably around 1-2 Khz), then narrow the range so that it doesn’t affect the rest of the track too much, and use the boost feature until you’re happy with the result. This works fairly well in many cases, but it’s no magic wand.
Good luck,
Vince

I think what you mean here is, you are basically trying to save a custom preset for all the effects in one clip, and I don’t think that it’s actually possible in Premiere. BTW, you might have more luck using the Parametric EQ for hiss removal, or a combination of both. Denoiser really only works in areas of silence on your clip, so it will have a hard time working its magic if there is a strong ambient noise as well.
Cheers,
Vince

Does it always happen with the same file? Say you import the second one “first” does it crash right away ? That would tell you if the file itself is corrupted.
There are several types of Mpeg codecs and very few actually work well with Premiere, so I would recommend a third party AVI converter and then reimporting the files in Premiere. Someone recommended VirtualDub below, I think that should work for you as well.

Definitely After Effects if you want automation. Cycles are very easy to setup in AE.

Wait for the universal AE version, it should be here soon…

Indeed Pal black is 0. Check out Tektronix.com. They have some of the most in depth documentation on video monitoring. Here’s a link that should get you pretty far ahead. https://www.tek.com/Measurement/App_Notes/25_7075/eng/25W_7075_3.pdf

If we could make a post that explained everything “From start to Finish”, that would probably put the Total Training Guys out of business 😉
Are you working in 24P ? Do you want your DVD to be in 24P, or interlaced ? What part are you stuck on, the DVD export, a menu ?
DVD export can be as simple selecting export > Export to DVD, and then picking the default settings.
Of course, this depends on how much video you are trying to fit on that DVD, and it never is an exact science…

Try nesting (dragging) the sequence instead or using a copy/paste.
