To resize a clip in Premiere apply Video Effect/Distort/Transform to the clip in the timeline, than edjust the size under the effects tab.
If you need to resize your project, you would need to create a new project at the desired size, than nest the original project in the new one.
Or maybe you need to simply adjust the embedding parameters in your html to display the video at a larger size…

I was hoping someone would have had a solid answer for this. I’ve nested projects for the same process as you’ve described, but not with a change in frame rate.
Perhaps interpreting the footage’s frame rate by right-clicking on the clips in the bin of the new project might help to correct the issue.

You might try Project/Project Manager and Create a New Trimmed Project in the original project. This generates a new set of clips, but does not work with MPEG source. I only edit in the timeline, so I’m not sure how it would handle In/Out points that were set in the Editing Monitor??

If you’ve already solved this please let us know how.

Generally flickering is seen only on CRTs. If your stills are from interlaced video you should deinterlace them, and if that is not enough I recommend you try this Photoshop action…

If your titles are created in Premiere, try adding Effect/Blur 0.

I’m not sure of the frame size of you plasma display, I usually work in DV with a frame size of 720×480. Your project should be set to a standard frame size.

As far as output to WMV try…
File/Export/Adobe Media Encoder
Format: Windows Media
Presets: Choose a WM9 setting that is appropriate to your frame size and frame rate, I use NTSC.
Under ‘Audiences’ adjust the basic video (and audio) settings to match your project. Than click ‘Advanced Mode’ and increase your bitrate to maybe 2560 or something, maybe more or less.

Just some thoughts

Welcome Cleo,

Hmmm, I assume that you are able to hear your audio during preview while you are editing, correct?

…the wav plays at the very beginning of the clip…
Unsure why this would happen. Although I’ve never had to do this in Premiere, an old trick I used to use was to have a silence clip that I would place in between all gaps in the audio tracks, than export full timeline audio tracks, than insert these newly generated audio tracks and turn off the output of the ‘clip’ tracks.

…nothing shows up on the audio track line that I can see…
Sometimes an audio signal is so low that there isn’t much to see. You can expand the height of the audio track by grabbing the separator under the track name (or, just above the name of the next track) and expand the track.

WAVs should be fine. Ideally, they should be matched to your project settings, such as 16 bit, 48kHz, stereo, PCM, uncompressed, whatever.

Try exporting a WAV file from the MOV file with QuickTime Pro. Than import into Premiere. The audio codec is probably incompatible with Premiere.

I’m not sure about HQ AVI files from YouTube, but the FLV files from YouTube can be played with FLV Player….

You may have to add a .FLV extension to the file.

I agree with Kevin, AE is the way to go for effects. In either app you would basically duplicate the track, apply your blur or whatever to the upper layer, than somehow mask the needed portion in the effect track.
In AE you can easily add a layer mask to the blur track. In Premiere you could use the Track Matte Key.
Here’s a tut I did for compositing and isolating in Premiere. It’s not exactly what you want to do, but it gives you the basic mechanics of how you could do it in Premiere…

I’m just guessing here, as I don’t edit in HD yet…
You project frame size should match your source frame size, as it is.
I’m not up on HD aspect ratios, but Premiere should guess it properly. Assuming that you know the correct PAR, Interpret Footage to the correct ratio.

I’m guessing all looks correct in the monitor window?

Try File/Export/Movie or exporting as an uncompressed AVI, if that works than maybe it’s an issue with the specification in the export codec that you are trying to use.
If it doesn’t work, let us know.

Wish I could have been a better help:/

MREG is a delivery format and isn’t meant for editing. You should decompress the video to Uncompressed, or Compressor: None than re-import.
Do this and all of your wildest dreams will come true! 🙂

Generally, projects default to 3 audio tracks plus a master. If your import forced the creation of a new track it is in a format that is not defined in the project settings – maybe a mono or 5.1 track.
To move it to a stereo track, you could export it as stereo and re-import the file.

Let us know if this is even close to answering your issue…
