Hi Gully,
If you are able to import and play it, then no need to convert.
If you can’t import or play as is, then yes an intermediate format will be needed. The problem in that case is that you won’t be able to replace with the original files for the final export as you would with proxy editing, so an uncompressed format is preferred, that also means a nice RAID array to pull the footage.
For your sequence settings, you can create a “Desktop Sequence” under the custom sequence tab, and choose the appropriate resolution/frame rate. In your case, it’s probably going to be 1920×1080 Square pixels PAR, and 30P or 24P. Make sure you save the preset so you have it for the next edit.

[James Barton] “I have also been researching which vendor to go with for PrPro and it seems that at least Aja’s cards are still problematic with PrP, even with drivers having very recently been updated–see Walter Biscardi’s post here—
https://www.biscardicreative.com/blog/2011/08/adobe-premiere-pro-thrown-into...”Sadly, so are BM cards. We’ve seen audio drop outs and playback stopping at numerous occasions, to the point where we use a DVI out for client monitor. One thing you pay for on the AJA side is much better support.
I don’t think BM would deny it and honestly, they couldn’t possibly afford it at that price point.

Hi Diana,
I don’t think Encore can be used in the trial version, unless it changed recently. My advice for export would be uncompressed. It will be a much faster export with no quality loss.
Cheers,
Vince

Hi Marty,
Yes, Encore will always transcode to Mpeg2 when making a DVD, in which case you are losing quality by exporting to H.264 first.
When exporting for Mpeg2 DVD, it’s best to check “Use Maximum Quality” to improve scaling.
If you are seeing better quality going to H.264, it’s likely that you had a wrong export setting going to mpeg2.Cheers,

Hi Josh,
Denoiser is not compatible with Premiere Pro. Often, plugins for After Effects are installed in the common plugin folder and appear in Premiere when they shouldn’t.
A great denoiser for Premiere is made by Neat

Hi lloyd,
1.28gb ?? Sounds like we need to talk about project management 🙂
The first thing I would do is head to the project manager and remove unused footage, and even possibly reduce the project by using the trim option to copy clips to a new location, then SAVE AS A NEW FILE.
That should lessen the load a bit and give your RAM a heart beat once again.

Hi Daniel,
Yes, although experimenting is almost never a bad thing 🙂

Hi Marty,
Diana needs to export for an actual DVD, not for Youtube. She HAS to use the Mpeg2 DVD setting.
While you might find a couple of DVD players that support H.264, it’s nowhere near standard and the specs even vary by player.

Hi Daniel,
Yes, it is noticeable, and the more motion you have, the worse it gets. You will get an obvious jitter or blur, depending on whether you choose to add frames or blend as your export settings.
The bottom line is avoid frame conversion as much as possible. There are tools that can provide the conversion like Twixtor, or plugin from Videocopilot, but they demand long render times and the results aren’t near perfect.

Hi Diana,
If it’s an hour or under, then the best choice is usually Mpeg2 DVD 7.5 Mb/s CBR.
8 Mb/s is what most people judge as to a be the maximum safest bit rate for consumer DVD burning.
For anything over an hour, you will benefit from 2 Pass VBR, where the first pass will analyse scenes and motion to provide the appropriate compression using a variable bit rate.
For that, it’s best to calculate the appropriate settings using a bit rate calculator.
