exporting

Hi. I'm a newbie to Premiere Pro.

What I'd like to do is apply Warp Stabilizer to all my poorly shot footage and export them to a folder before I start editing them together as a sequence.

What's the best way (settings/presets) to export them to keep the size and quality of the originals?

many thanks

Colin

Thanks Riklard

I’v realised that I was trying to stabilize a clip that also had a cross fade applied between it and the next clip - which was throwing the Stabilizer way off and creating a cropped clip.

I’ll leave the stabs and fades till the end

cheers for the help


As Jim notes, you can use Cineform as an intermediate. It's frequently used for this sort of work.

Product Support manager Kevin Monahan has posted on here that if he knows he's going to be working with a laptop for a project, applying Warp or a particular color or de-noising routine to an entire folder of media, he often will do one or two of those first, export the clips in Cineform or ProRes (he mostly works Mac I think). DNxHD/R can work well also. Then imports that media into his project.

I also know of a number of editors that when confronted with a lot of clips needing stabilizer, do that first in AfterEffects as there are more and better options for that there. Export the media, then work away with that new media in PrPro.

The default Cineform YUV preset (under QuickTime format) will provide excellent quality Intermediates for you to work with.

Do you plan to do your editing in another software ? Because I can't see why you want to export them.

If not, you just make your editing without warp stabilizer. When you are fine with your editing, just use the warp stabilizer on each shot you want to stabilize. If you can't preview it in real time , just press Enter Key to render every shot that need to be rendered for real time playback.

Hi Riklard

I started by doing that in my first project but when I went to stabilise the first clip, it kept the red line and the Program window had a blue line across it saying Click to analyse?

I’m a graphic designer by trade and I’m used to getting all my assets cropped and corrected before putting them into the layout - I was wondering if this is a usual practice for PPro? i.e. to crop and stabilise assets before adding them in to save processing time on the entire project.

I’ll certainly try and use your suggestion and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for your quick response!

cheers

Each time you render something you loose definition. The general rule is to avoid rendering stuff to insert it once again in your Montage.

The only render you should do is the final one.

As I told you you make your edting without the stabilize FX and when you happy, you apply the stab FX . Stab FX need to be calculated.

Depending on the size of each shot you want to stabilize it can take time so , do it at the end or have a try on one footage to see if it works fine.
