QUESTION: Premeier Elements 2021 & 2.7k Source Files

Question

I have a simple action cam (not a GoPro & no stabilisation) but have obtained pretty good results when recording in HD mode (60 FPS), paricularly under water. Shake Reduction has also worked reasonably well.

This action CAM can record in higher resolution so I have been making a few tests with 2.7k 30 FPS & 4k 25 FPS.

A few short clips recorded with 2.7k 30 FPS were inserted into a fresh project but I noticed that the project settings were 1920 by 1080 i.e. HD & that when exporting/sharing "Devices" it offered just HD 1080.

I tried Shake Reduction but the clip has a red banner "Shake Reduction requires clip dimensions to match project settings. Create a new project" (which I had done previously).

Question: Is this behaviour to be expected?

A similar test with 4k 25 FPS clips worked perfectly - output as 4k Ultra HD & Shake Reduction worked - took some time to process but that can be expected.

Its a good thing I made this test before an upcomming vacation - will avoid 2.7k & either use HD or 4k (25 FPS).

Shake will only work if project matches footage.Elements cannot match 2.7K footage.Film either in hd or uhd.

Thanks Ann,

So for the purposes of editting with Premiere Elements 2.7K clips are useless.

As well as my old "cheap" Action Cam I'm borrowing a GoPro for the upcomming vacation.

Will make sure I set it to work at 30 FPS & the H.264 Codec.
