Hi Peter,

The simplest way, but you’ll have to do it for each clip, is to convert your subclips to master clips, which will create new trimmed clips on your drive.

Bring the subclips in the source monitor, edit subclip (best to create a short cut to “edit subclip” to speed things up), check “Make Master Clip”, click ok.

If you wanted to convert them to a new format, you could drag them one by one to the new sequence icon at the bottom of the project panel. This would create a new sequence for each subclip.

You would then open the standalone Adobe Media Encoder, import the project, then using ctrl, select all your sequences and batch encode.

Hi Justin,

Feel free to ask more questions here. I don’t know of any particular resources that will help with Premiere DVD encoding options, other than the help file itself.

A good bit rate calculator should be all you need to calculate your settings. It also help to understand GOP structure. This pretty much the only thing I found in the little time I had…

You want to find a beat where you think the song should end, cut your track at that exact point including the entire beat (be ready to zoom in that track), then add silence behind it (at least 5 seconds).

Select the silence as well as the beat itself , and apply the reverb. The longer the reverb, the harder it will be to sell the effect since the audio will get muddy. You can also crossfade the original with an earlier reverb on the track if you need a smother ending.

You’ll probably have to experiment with the cut placement as well, put a good half hour aside 🙂

VLC will play just about anything. It could be a corrupted file or sample rate issues . Try converting it in Soundbooth first and see if that help

Hi Christopher,

Premiere version?

Some earlier Premiere versions had issues with certain files such as mp3. I usually recommend converting those to wav before importing.

You could always duplicate the very last part of the clip, apply the amount of reverb you want to the duplicated clip, and crossfade between the two.

The reverb will not go past the end of the clip, so you may have to bring it in Soundbooth, add some silence at the end and replace in Premiere then apply reverb.

You can do it in Adobe Audition by adding a silence at the end of the clip, select the silence and the part of the clip you want reverb on, then apply the reverb effect. This is a much better solution, I’ve used it many times to end a track early.

Hi Michael,

A core2duo is very much on the edge with HD.

H.264 also happens to be one of the most processor intensive formats.

If it degrades over time, it could also have to do with a drive being too slow, especially if it’s on a USB port.

And of course, there’s also RAM. I usually recommend a minimum of 6 Gigs of RAM with CS5, and that can be low if you are going to use dynamic link.

Hi Daniel,

After you click the keyframe timewatch in your effects control panel, any changes to the corresponding effect value will automatically add a keyframe.

Hi Justin,

Choose MPEG 2- DVD

Set your video settings to:

2 pass VBR.

Set Max: 7.5 Mb/s – Aver: 6.35 – Min: 2.5

Make sure you check Max Quality (Better downscaling)

Take another day off for rendering 🙂

PS: Try https://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php to get the correct bit rate settings for your next DVD.

For anything under 1 hour, you can use 7.5 Mb CBR.

Hi Griff ,

Try closing down Premiere, delete your audio peak files (Media cache folder) and restart.
