Adobe Premiere CS5 - Editing 1080p 60fps?

Hi There,

I just purchased a Sanyo Xacti FH1A HD camcorder that is capable of shooting 1080p at 60FPS.  I have not yet found a video editing suite that allows you to natively edit at this frame rate.  Does anyone know if CS5, or some other package supports this type of file?

Thanks!

    Thanks Harm. I was told the Nero software included can edit the 60fps footage, I just find it strange that a powerhouse editing suite like Premiere doesn't have this preset.  More and more camcorders support this nowadays.

    Thanks.


    Did you try creating a custom sequence preset? If you use Desktop editing mode, you can custom set all the parameters (frame size, frame rate, etc.) to accommodate footage such as this. Now, whether you can actually edit it will depend on whether Premiere has the appropriate codec at its disposal. I don't know what codec this camera uses, but I assume it is some sort of MPEG4 variant; the editability of such material varies widely.

    If you have footage and you dont know what preset to use you can drag your footage to the New Item button and Premiere will create a sequence that matches your footage.

    Glad the Deskop sequence worked.

    Oh how I love simplicity! Especially when I had no idea you could do this!

    It worked like a charm Glenn.

    Thank you once again for kicking frustration to the curb for me! Haha.

    Glad you liked that.

    They added that in CS5 and it makes it much easier.

    Good to know both ways though.

    I really wish Adobe had a online help site that listed cameras and would show how it would handle the footage from that camera.  They could just keep updating it as new cameras come out.  Wishfull thinking though.

    I tried to use Desktop editing mode and everything seemed to work fine up until the export. I am using a Sony AVCHD video camera with 1080p 60 frames. So anyways I don't know if it's just cause the file is an hour long or something but I got an immense amount of video motion lag with my subjects. I tried lowering the export settings eg. take off render at maximum bit depth and vbr 2 pass and I still got the same video lag. I went back in and made a new sequence with AVCHD 1080P 30 which is a preset of premiere and put it as render as max quality, render at maximum bit depth and VBR 2 pass. The video rendered properly and there was no more motion lag. Is there some way I can fix this becuase my client might be expecting the exported product to have 60fps 5.1 channel 1080P?

    I have 2 Sanyos and one Canon 7D DSLR. I mixed and matched the videos just fine in Premiere CS4 (1080 P). It worked like a champ. Mind you there is no Mercury in CS4 so the multicamera setup was like a slideshow HOWEVER the editing process worked well (considering the slideshow, that is). I am really amazed on how far Premiere has gone (no more crashing and burning). Final Cut could not do it without transcoding the video first (in a laptop you know how long that would be).

    Thanks for the links.. I have actually consulted the help files, but see no mention of a preset that includes what I am looking for which is a 1080p 60fps 1920x1080 project setting.

    In searching through the manual for Adobe Premiere which you linked to I still don't see this setting.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks.

    No, better try the Sanyo software.
