Question

Premiere Pro CC, Project / sequence settings help with GoPro 1080p / 60fps

Hi all,


I have just started using Premiere Pro CC with the GoPro Hero3+ black edition, but my video's, once exported do not look very smooth and clean like HD video should?

The video settings on the GoPro are 1080p / 60fps, narrow view (protune off), I then import these .MP4 video files into PP CC and use these sequence settings:

29.97fps

1920 x 1080 / 16:9

Square pixels (1.0)

No fields (progressive scan)

30 fps drop-frame timecode

Preview file format: I-Frame only MPEG

Maximum bit depth

So, my question is, should my sequence settings be at 60fps to match the 60fps I used to capture the video with? How should I edit 1080p / 60fps video in order to get nice clean, smooth HD video playback on youtube?


My export settings are:

H.264

1920 x 1080

29.94

Progressive

Square pixels (1.0)

NTSC

Profile: Main

Level: 5.1

Render at maximum depth

VBR, 2 pass

Target Mbps: 40

Max Mbps: 50

Keyframe distance box checked and says: 90

Use maximum render quality


Here is the video I uploaded to youtube: Deal Tri Summer Duathlon May 2014 - YouTube

What do you think?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Paul

      Hope you solved your problem, and I'm hoping you can help me with mine. I have premiere pro cc to, but I don't have any sequence presets for 1080p30 and I really need it, so I don't know if you know how can I get it or something like that. Thank you very nice. Have a nice day.

      Once you have created a new project, import the video(s) into your project, then click and drag one of your videos onto the 'new item' folder. This will create a new sequence based on your video...so if your video was recorded in 1080p at 30fps then the sequence will match your video automatically. After you have done this, go to sequence settings and double check...

        Yes.

        How should I edit 1080p / 60fps video in order to get nice clean, smooth HD video playback on youtube?

        I'm not sure you can.  I believe YouTube won't go over 30p.

        Putting a screen grab capture of your sequence setting would help us. PrPro can both edit and export 60fps.
